old age

"Alone at school, take care of yourself. Call me if you have no money."

School will officially start tomorrow, and Yi Bochuan drove Yichen to the dormitory with his things.

Yi Chen closed his eyes and leaned against the window to doze off, pretending that he didn't hear Yi Bochuan's words, until Yi Bochuan called him again impatiently, and then he answered casually.

"I'm going to the branch office next week, if you want to go home on your monthly leave..."

"I won't go back." Yi Chen snapped.

Yi Bochuan hadn't communicated with Yi Chen for a long time, Yi Chen refused to talk to him at all, he paused for a second and continued, "I definitely don't have time to come back, if you go back, call me in advance, I will let you The hourly worker will come and cook for you."

Yi Chen looked down at his fingers and said nothing.Yi Bochuan was transferred to the branch office. On the surface, his title remained the same, but he was actually demoted from the head office to the branch office.The matter between him and Li Nan was stabbed into the company by someone, and the rumors were very ugly.Li Nan has already been asked to resign. Yi Bochuan is capable and has always had a good relationship with his superiors.The leader didn't want to make too much trouble, so he asked him to go to the branch office to avoid the limelight. As for when he will be transferred back, no one can say for sure.

"Chenchen." Near the school gate, the number of vehicles gradually increased, Yi Bochuan slowed down, looked at Yichen's irritable profile indifferently through the rearview mirror, and sighed, "It's Dad who is sorry for you. "

"Can you just call me by name?" Yi Chen was completely unaffected by his emotions, "Also, you have said this before. Your nobleman forgets things and can't remember clearly, but I still remember. But I will bother you in the future Don't mention it anymore, it doesn't count anyway. Besides, you are only 40 years old, who knows how many times you have to get divorced, if you want to divorce once, tell me sorry, I don't want to be annoying to death? No need, you Take a break."

Yi Bochuan originally wanted to have a good talk with him, but Yi Chen didn't cooperate at all, "What's wrong with you, is this the tone you should use when talking to your elders?"

Yi Chen didn't speak, but smiled contemptuously.

Yi Bochuan parked the car in the parking space under the command of the security guard, "You are still young, you don't know how difficult it is for adults, and I don't want to think about many things."

Yi Chen remained expressionless, "Is there someone forcing you to cheat?"

"I admit that I have a problem with this matter, but many things are not at all..." Yi Bochuan waved his hand, rolled down the car window and lit a cigarette, "You will know when you grow up."

Yi Chen opened the car door, "It's better for me not to know about such a disgusting thing. Open the trunk, smoke slowly, and I'm leaving."

The accommodation conditions in No. [-] Middle School are not bad, a quadruple room with air conditioning and a private bathroom.When Yi Chen arrived, the other three roommates had already arrived, they were all from Yi Chen's class, and one of them's mother was making the bed.

"Can you do it yourself?" Yi Bochuan followed him up.

"Could it be that you will?" Yi Chen muttered, scratching his hair, "Okay, let's go."

Yi Bochuan pretended to forget the unhappiness just now, and said, "It will be six o'clock soon, I will take you out for dinner before leaving."

"I'm not hungry." Yi Chen opened the box, "Go by yourself."

Yi Bochuan lowered his face and stood aside.Yi Chen waited for a long time, and saw that he had no intention of leaving, and there were other people in the dormitory, and Yi Chen didn't want to quarrel with him, so he sighed irritably, "You can leave after dinner."

Yi Bochuan originally planned to take Yi Chen to find a restaurant outside the school, but Yi Chen didn't want to stay longer, so he went straight to the cafeteria and ordered two bowls of beef noodles.

There were a lot of people queuing in front, so Yi Chen found a table and sat down, waiting for his aunt to call her number.When he came out of the dormitory, he brought a vocabulary book and spread it in front of him, and he didn't talk to Yi Bochuan.

"Yi Chen." Yi Bochuan went out to answer a phone call from a leader, and mentioned in his words that his life was not good enough. Throwing his book to the side of the table, "I'm your father, no matter how dissatisfied you are, you can't be like this. You're a child, the longer you grow, the less you'll be."

"Speak up, or the next table will think you're acting in pantomime." The book was thrown on the table next to it, and the two girls looked surprised. Yi Chen apologized and took it back, "You don't have to keep emphasizing your It's about my dad, no one said you are not, you have repeated it so many times, I really have to think about whether there is something wrong."

Yi Chen has grown slowly over the past few years, his face looks like him, but his eyebrows and eyes are more and more like Chu Jing.Yi Bochuan suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He sighed and said in silence for a long time, "I have only loved your mother in my life."

Yi Chen sighed slowly as if it had nothing to do with him.

Yi Bochuan continued, "Your Aunt Zhang and I are just living together..."

"In the end, your life didn't go on." Yi Chen raised his eyebrows, "I'm not interested in these things about you, so don't love anyone else, my mother's boyfriend has changed several times, and it has nothing to do with you. You say you love this one and can live with the others, I just can't understand."

Yi Bochuan smiled, with the sophistication unique to adults, "Wait until you have..."

"How do you know I don't?" Yi Chen looked at him with a half-smile, "If I like someone, I will try my best to be with him, even if." He lowered his voice, "Even if we separated in the end, Then I would rather have an empty seat next to me than anyone else. "

He spoke solemnly, with a sense of solemnity that did not match his age.Yi Bochuan was stunned for a moment, "You are in the third year of high school, you should put your studies first..."

Yi Chen regretted that he had talked too much, and waved his hand, "It's none of your business."

The aunt at the window called his number, and Yi Chen went over and asked her to pack one of the noodles and put the other bowl in front of Yi Bochuan, "The chopsticks are in the disinfection cabinet on the left, and I'll go back to the dormitory gone."

Yi Bochuan didn't keep up, and Yi Chen bought some necessary daily necessities downstairs.Walking up the corridor, I meet three other roommates out for dinner.

"together?"

Yi Chen shook the beef noodles in his hand, "You guys go."

It was the first time for him to live in school, and he didn't have to clean up by himself at home. He reluctantly put away all his things, and it was already eight o'clock.

Yi Chen was bored, thinking of sending Ji Kaiyang a message after he finished reciting the rest of the words.Just halfway through reciting, the phone rang, Chu Jing.

No. [-] Middle School is not allowed to bring mobile phones to the school. For the convenience of the boarding students, they are required to only use functional phones.The location of the dormitory is remote, and the signal is also poor. Yi Chen walked to the balcony and said, "Hello, Mom."

The call came out of nowhere. Chu Jing rambled on for ten minutes, and when Yi Chen was about to hang up, she finally got to the point, "Is there any girl you like at school?"

"No." Yi Chen knew that what he said in front of Yi Bochuan tonight was the cause of trouble. Yi Bochuan and Chu Jing had been divorced for so long, and it was rare that they could still communicate and cooperate on his matters.Yi Chen heard it funny, and repeated again, "I don't have any girls I like."

He answered in the affirmative, and Chu Jing tentatively said, "It doesn't matter if there is, Mom is not a rigid person."

"Of course you are not." There was a piece of white paint on the balcony railing, and Yi Chen casually scratched at it with his nails. "Put your heart in your belly, I don't like girls, I don't like girls."

"This child." Chu Jing breathed a sigh of relief, she missed the point at all, she didn't take it too seriously at first, Yi Bochuan was taken aback, insisting on asking her, "It doesn't matter if you don't have it, it's such a critical period in the third year of high school... ..."

Yi Chen didn't want to hear what she had to say, so he put the phone aside and continued to recite the words. After a few minutes, he took it over to answer a few words casually, and hung up.

In a new environment, it is always easy to feel lonely, the kind that neither Xue Jinxing nor Wang Houxiong can relieve.Yi Chen threw down the compulsory questions for the college entrance examination in his hand, hesitated for a while, and sent a message to Ji Kaiyang.

After sending the message, I didn't have the time to write the question. Yi Chen pressed the screen once after two seconds, as if the ringtone of the elderly phone would be broken within a few minutes, and he would miss it.

He repeated it over and over again, and his heart was tossed up and down by himself. During the period, he even answered a phone call to sell insurance, and he was so angry that he cursed.After a long time, Ji Kaiyang's name finally appeared on the caller ID.

"Wait, wait." Yi Chen felt that the signal on the balcony was not good enough, and couldn't hear Ji Kaiyang's words clearly, so he grabbed the key without changing his slippers, and ran outside the dormitory building, "Okay, what do you say?" Bar."

"Why are you panting so badly? Were you running just now?" No. Seven Middle School does not have a perverted rule that seniors must live on campus. Ji Kaiyang accompanied Zhang Yun for a walk after dinner, and when he returned to his bedroom, he saw Yi Chen's message. While Zhang Yun was going back to the bedroom, she sneaked back one.

"No, no." Yi Chen ran in a hurry, leaning against the bulletin board to catch his breath, "You tell me."

"What did I say?" Ji Kaiyang said, "You asked me to call you."

"Oh." In fact, Yi Chen didn't have anything to say. After a long time, he choked out, "What are you doing?"

"Call you." Ji Kaiyang's voice was quiet.

"Then what were you going to do?"

"Study the question." Ji Kaiyang said briefly.There was no topic for a while, and both sides were silent, but no one hung up.

"I miss you." Yi Chen said suddenly, "You clearly agreed to come and see me."

"Did I not come?" The sound of pages turning came from Ji Kaiyang's side.No. [-] and No. [-] middle school's senior year holidays were perfectly avoided, one at the end of July and one in mid-August.Ji Kaiyang had no choice but to take an afternoon to come to school to have dinner with Yi Chen.

"It's less than half an hour..."

"That's already here, and this is the fourth call this week." Ji Kaiyang sighed, "Yi Chen, I have done what I promised you, and what you promised me must not be counted."

"You think I'm a task? Are you dealing with me?" Yi Chen said stiffly.

"No." Ji Kaiyang sounded helpless, "You are here again, you can't always be like this, we agreed."

"I don't want to either." Yi Chen felt that the call was unwise, and he was reluctant to hang up, "I told my dad today that I have someone I like, and I told my mom that I don't like girls. But they didn't Listen, I don't know that I like you."

Ji Kaiyang didn't answer.

"I'm sorry. I really can't do it."

"It will pass slowly. When you look back at this matter ten years later, you will feel that it is not worth mentioning at all." Ji Kaiyang answered him pretending to be relaxed.

"Then what if I still like you ten years later? Will you promise me?"

"No." Ji Kaiyang responded quickly, saying, "That's it, I still have something to do here."

"Ji Kaiyang." Yi Chen said in a panic, "Can I come to you on Sunday afternoon? I..."

Ji Kaiyang has already died.

Yi Chen looked at the blacked out screen, reached out to grab the mosquito bag on his arm, and walked slowly towards the dormitory.

"What's wrong with you? I bought watermelon, do you want to eat it?" The roommate had already returned, and seeing Yi Chen walking back in a daze, asked with concern.

"No, thank you." Yi Chen washed up and went to bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

Am I in a hurry? Yi Chen leaned against the wall and interpreted the four words facing the wall so vividly that he stopped ignoring me.

He had been conflicting for a long time, and he was struggling when he heard a clear and crisp notification tone from his mobile phone.Yi Chen threw off the quilt and jumped down the ladder in two steps, the light of the mobile phone was still dimmed, "If you come next week, bring your homework."
