I miss you by the stars

After Ye Xingzhou left, Jiang Yi walked to the window and looked out.

Ye Xingzhou always walks very fast, the luxury car has long since disappeared, and now there is a small garden left empty in the night.Different from Zhuzhen's small yard full of wild sunflowers, this place is colorful, and it looks like it has been carefully cared for by gardeners on a regular basis.

Beauty is beauty, but it has lost that exuberant barbaric and messy vitality.

At this time the phone rang, Jiang Yi frowned and touched it.

No one knew that she had returned to Beicheng ahead of schedule, that is to say, there was only one person who called her.

Sure enough, the sinister voice came from the phone: "Ran Ge."

"Ah."

In fact, before she went to Beicheng, Ye Xingzhou didn't have much time to contact her, it seemed as long as she was there.

However, from a certain day when she was in Zhuzhen, Ye Xingzhou suddenly contacted her more frequently.

When did it start?Jiang Yi recalled carefully.

Well, it started when she really got acquainted with Yu Xi.

Now, Ye Xingzhou had just left Biyunju, but he actually called her again. This kind of situation had never happened before.

Ye Xingzhou said, "You're getting fat."

"Really?" Jiang Yi said lightly: "Maybe, didn't I go to Zhuzhen to experience it?"

Ye Xingzhou said: "This is a good thing."

Jiang Yi didn't say anything.

Ye Xingzhou said again: "I'll ask the driver to bring over some food, what do you want to eat?"

Jiang Yi: "Just those from before."

Ye Xingzhou said, "Okay." He hung up the phone.

Jiang Yi walked slowly to the refrigerator, she didn't turn on the kitchen light, only the pale white light from the refrigerator illuminated her face——

There was no expression on his face, and compared with the lively scene in Zhuzhen, it seemed a bit dull.

Jiang Yi looked at the refrigerator, which was full of cheese, bagels, raw ham, foie gras, and blueberries. In the wine cabinet next to it, illuminated by the refrigerator lights, there were bottles of red wine, and each bottle seemed to be expensive. Not cheap.

She had no appetite, frowned, and closed the refrigerator.

She was always like this in Beicheng.

No appetite.

I have no desires.

But it is meaningless to ask Ye Xingzhou not to buy it. As long as Ye Xingzhou feels the need to buy it, she will buy it even if the final destination of the food is the trash can.

Jiang Yi closed the refrigerator, threw herself on the sofa, and picked up a stack of papers that had been rolled up on the coffee table to look through.

******

It was at the end of the summer vacation that Yuxi realized that she would not find Jiang Yi.

She circled the nearby towns that she circled, and there were so many workers coming and going, but she found nothing.

In other words, Jiang Yi has gone to a very, very far place.

Then the situation became what Shu Xing said, looking for a needle in a vast sea of ​​people, China is so big, she has no clue, where can she find it?

Zhou Qi wandered around the billiard hall that day, and was startled when he saw that the rolling gate of the billiard hall was half open.

The last time Yu Xi left after returning to school to fill out her application, the billiard hall was closed all the time, and because of this, when Zhou Qi went out for a walk every day, he would come to the billiard hall.

And when Yu Xi was in the pool hall, he never dared to come here.

Facing a tightly closed rolling gate full of rust every day, Zhou Qi didn't know what he was thinking.

It's just that today, the rolling gate actually opened?

He hesitated for a moment, went out and knocked on the door.

After a while, someone bent down and came out through the half-open gap of the rolling gate.

"It's really you?" Zhou Qi's face turned red instantly under the sun: "When did you come back?"

Yu Xi said, "Last night."

Zhou Qi asked: "Have you found her?"

Yuxi shook his head.

"Then..." Zhou Qi asked again: "School is about to start, have you packed your luggage?" He smiled again: "My parents don't value grades at all, and they are proud of having a college student in the family. Big boxes and small boxes packed in a bunch.”

He wants to go to Beishi, and Yu Xi wants to go to Beihang, so there is no problem with their grades.After Yu Xi left, Zhou Qi went to the school to collect the admission notice and kept it for her.

Yu Xi said, "I don't have any luggage."

All alone, without care.

Sometimes she felt that Jiang Yi had figured this out.

The sudden disappearance made her unable to find her again, and there was no other place for Yu Xi to stay in this world, where else could she go except obediently going to college?

The money saved to help Jiang Yi pay back became her tuition and living expenses.

Zhou Qi smiled and comforted him: "It's fine if you don't have any luggage, everything is new when you arrive in Beicheng, and everything starts anew."

He blushed again and asked, "Are you okay with your tuition? Do you have any scholarships?" Young people are always thin-skinned, and feel ashamed to talk about money.

Yu Xi said: "Probably not, I haven't received any notice."

******

Two days later, Yu Xi boarded the train to Beicheng.

She didn't go with Zhou Qi, she was not used to it.

She really doesn't have any luggage, just a person, a backpack, the backpack is not full, and a few T-shirts are empty.

She was sitting by the train window, looking out of the window with her backpack in her arms.

The train rattled, carrying the hopes and futures of many people, even if it was just the cheapest green leather train.

The future is like the smoke from the front of the car, light and white, and it doesn't know where it will go when the wind blows.

And the heaviest thing in Yuxi's bag is the unused air ticket in the backpack, like an anchor, anchoring her future.

******

When Yu Xi and Zhou Qi went to his house to get the admission notice, they took a look at Zhou Qi's luggage, which was full of four boxes of different sizes.

But now standing in Beihang's campus, Yu Xi realizes that Zhou Qi is not an exaggeration at all.

In the tree-lined campus, there are all parents who send their children to report, and everyone is surrounded by huge boxes, at least five or six, at most seven or eight, like Yuxi, one person packs, it seems Just her.

No one with me, no luggage.

Many people looked towards Yuxi.

I don't know if it has anything to do with the fact that I haven't used electronic devices since I was a child, but Yuxi's eyesight and hearing are pretty good, and she can hear many people talking about her:

"It's so pretty, and she's tall. Are you a professional flight attendant?"

"What's that on her? A rag?"

"Actually, I think Beihang should still set up admission thresholds. If poor students like this are recruited, what if the low self-esteem leads to psychological distortion?"

Yu Xi thought to herself, she felt inferior.

She stood in line under a camphor tree, the sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, and her face was indistinct. She had a single ponytail hairstyle that had remained unchanged for thousands of years, and a gust of wind lifted the broken hair on her forehead. The face is stubborn and unruly.

September is at the tail end of summer, and the heat in Beicheng is very different from that in Zhuzhen.Zhu Zhen is the kind of wet that feels like someone has licked your body, while Bei Cheng is dry and crisp. Yu Xi feels his skin is hot, but he doesn't even break out of sweat.

When it was her turn, she handed over the required documents and forms.

Because there are too many students in the report, many people from the student union came to help today.In front of Yu Xi was a girl with short hair, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, busy taking notes, without raising her head, she said to Yu Xi, "Check in your luggage over there first."

Yu Xi: "I have no luggage."

Only then did the girl raise her head. She has been busy here all morning, which student doesn't have five, six, seven or eight pieces of luggage, and someone has no luggage?

In front of him was the beautiful face of a young girl, with delicate but sharp features, and a cold face with no smile.

The point is that pair of eyes, black and white, like a stream that hasn't been polluted in any way.

The whole person is unbelievably clean.

She couldn't help but look down at the information that the girl handed over again. There was a simple word "Yuxi" in strong handwriting, which was not like a girl's handwriting.

"You are Yuxi?" She introduced herself: "I am Xu Ya from the student union."

"After the report is over, go to the student office and find Teacher Qin. She has something to ask you."

******

Beihang campus is very big, with layers of scenery, unlike Zhuzhen, where you can see the head at a glance.

This gave Yuxi an illusion that even a single school in Beihang was bigger than the entire town of Zhuzhen.

She searched for a while before finding the Academic Affairs Building, and after searching for a while before finding the Student Office, she stood at the door and knocked.

Someone should: "Go in."

Yu Xi walked in, and a woman wearing black-rimmed glasses was sitting there working, Yu Xi tried to call out: "Teacher Qin?"

Qin Lin immediately realized: "Are you Yuxi?" She pointed to a chair in front of the desk: "Sit, I've been looking for you for a long time, but I haven't been able to contact you, is your high school landline broken? "

Yu Xi was a little confused, and she didn't know that she hadn't been in Zhuzhen for a long time.

Qin Lin said: "It's not too late now, but you need to make a decision quickly." She took out a folding page from her desk and put it in front of Yu Xi: "See if you are interested."

Yu Xi looked down, it was a folding page written in English.Her English is not as good as science, but what hinders her the most is listening and speaking, reading and writing are not bad, and now she has read the foldout without any difficulty.

In short, some universities in the UK are ranked very well, and they have a cooperation plan with Beihang to select outstanding exchange students in their respective freshmen, which can be regarded as dual-oriented training.

This plan has just started this year, and it is an opportunity that many people dream of.

"You are No. 1 in the college entrance examination of aerospace engineering, so I will tell you first." Qin Lin said: "But let me remind you, it is very hard and stressful to be an exchange student, and you have to cry every night to drive those You may not know any homework."

She looked at Yu Xi with a smile at the end of her eyes behind the black-rimmed glasses.

The first time she saw Yu Xi, she had a good impression of her, and felt that this girl was stubborn and ruthless.

Sure enough, Yu Xi didn't even think about it: "I'll go."

"Very good." Qin Lin nodded: "Then you go back and prepare. You don't need to participate in military training. There will be a professor who will give you a few lessons in advance, and you will leave in a week."

"The fee..."

"Tuition is free, and you are responsible for the living expenses yourself. Is there a problem?"

Yu Xi: "No problem."

When she walked out of Qin Lin's office with her backpack on her back, she looked up at the sky.

The sky in Beicheng is very different from that in Zhuzhen. In midsummer, it also looks vast and lofty. With the sound of a pigeon whistle, a pigeon glides across the sky neatly.

Yu Xi thought: Since there is no care, no support, no support, then——

It's up to her to make a breakthrough on her own.

******

one year later.

Fire in September, late summer and early autumn.

It's only been a month since school started, Zhou Qi lowered his head and looked at the messages on his mobile phone's WeChat.

Now he is a sophomore, and after collecting people intermittently in his freshman year, there are already more than 60 people in his fellow villagers, all from the same province.

This day, a newcomer was pulled into the group, with a profile picture of an airplane, and a name without any fancy symbols or letters, just two simple words - "Yuxi".

Zhou Qi's heart beat like thunder.

Not long after he reported as a freshman, before the military training started, Zhou Qi went to Beihang to find Yu Xi once, and told her that he had bought a new mobile phone and also had a mobile phone number, and told her the mobile phone number.Yu Xi nodded, and wrote down the phone number in a notebook.

Zhou Qi asked: "Have you got a mobile phone number yet?"

It is normal to not use a mobile phone in Zhuzhen, but it is unrealistic to go to school in Beicheng without using a mobile phone.

Zhou Qi didn't know if Yu Xi had any financial problems, and when he was about to ask, he heard Yu Xi say, "Let's do it in England."

"England?" Zhou Qi was surprised: "Are you going to England?"

Yu Xi nodded: "Go and be an exchange student for a year."

She briefly talked about the student exchange program that a well-known British university cooperated with Beihang.

Zhou Qi was silent.

It was from that moment that he realized that Yu Xi and his life had moved towards two tracks that might never intersect again.

Starting from the same starting point in Zhuzhen, they parted ways at the crossroads of the university.

Yu Xi didn't smile much, her face was as cold as before, but Zhou Qi thought that face was shining brightly under the sunshine of Beicheng.

He couldn't help but glanced up at the sky.

From then on, the sky is high and the clouds are wide, let Yuxi go to break through.

After leaving Zhuzhen, nothing can stop her.

******

Zhou Qi remembered that Yuxi invited him to have a meal in the cafeteria that day, eating fish-flavored eggplant and shredded pork with green peppers, and then sent him to the school gate.

When we parted, Zhou Qi asked, "When are you leaving?"

"A week later."

Zhou Qi's lips moved, Yu Xi looked at him lightly.

In the end Zhou Qi said: "Then, I wish you the best of luck."

Yu Xi nodded: "Thank you."

Then Zhou Qi left, took two steps and then turned back. There were people coming and going at the school gate, but the figure of that delicate and stubborn girl had long since disappeared.

Zhou Qi laughed at himself.

How could Yuxi stand at the school gate and watch his back go away.

Then, it doesn't make sense for him to persuade Yuxi to get a mobile phone number in China and leave the number to him.

******

When he was a freshman, Zhou Qi started to get frequent access to 4G network only in Beicheng.

Although his family's conditions in Zhu Town are good, they are still poor compared to the outside world.He himself worked part-time after classes, tutored children, and bought himself a laptop.

In addition to studying, there is also playing games with roommates or something.

He also has a roommate who loves to watch American dramas like Netflix. He once tried to give it to him. He watched it twice. He probably didn’t have the habit of watching blond-haired, blue-eyed Caucasians since he was a child.

The only connection he has with foreign countries is that he often searches for the university where Yuxi went to be an exchange student.

That university is really famous, and there are too many things worth reporting. Except for one search at the beginning of the exchange program, he couldn't find any news.

During the winter vacation, he went back to Zhuzhen. During the Chinese New Year, he went outside Aunt Yuxi’s house a few times, and met Cao Xuan once. Cao Xuan smiled and called him: "Brother Qi, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year." Zhou Qi nodded: "Is your sister Xi back?"

Cao Xuan smiled: "Why would Sister Xi come back to this home for the New Year? She must have stayed in Beicheng and didn't want to come back."

Only then did Zhou Qi discover that Yu Xi didn't even tell his family about going to England.

It's really ruthless.

Another semester passed, and during the summer vacation, Zhou Qi returned to Zhu Town again, wandering around the town every day.

Everyone who met him would say, "I've become more foreign, and I'm willing to go out. I'm no longer the nerd who only knows how to study. It's different when I go to university."

Zhou Qi responded with "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ahhhhhhhhhh".

He didn't feel that he had become cheerful, he wandered all over the town just to meet one person——Yu Xi.

But during the summer vacation, Yu Xi never showed up.

On the day he left Zhuzhen and went back to Beicheng to go to school, Zhou Qi was still thinking: What's going on?Could it be that Yu Xi stayed in England and didn't come back?

As a result, one week after school started, Yu Xi was dragged into the group of fellow villagers.

The person pulling Yuxi is also a girl from Beihang, but they are not in the same campus as Yuxi.When the fellow freshman got together, Zhou Qi chatted with the girl. They liked to play the same game, so they added WeChat, but they never chatted privately.

At this moment, Zhou Qi opened the girl's WeChat with trembling fingers for the first time: [Why did you bring Yu Xi in? 】

The girl replied: [Do you know each other? 】

[She and I are in the same high school. 】

【Oh, isn't she going to England as an exchange student?It seems that the project is doing very well, so I stayed there during the summer vacation, and I only returned to China two weeks after the start of school. I met her when I went to their campus to find someone. 】

It took Zhou Qi a long time to type out the word [um].

The girl returned an expression and said nothing more.

He clicked on Yuxi's profile picture, and then backed out.Click on Yuxi's profile picture again, and exit again.

Never added her courage.

He also went to see Yuxi's circle of friends, but there was nothing there.

After Zhou Qi quit Yuxi's WeChat, he just saw the girl calling in the group: [Sophomore year, new semester, new atmosphere, let's organize a fellowship party!I know the new Korean BBQ is good. 】

The group responded one after another: [very good. 】

[Arrangement, arrangement. 】

A boy poked Zhou Qi privately: [Are you going? 】He is from Beizheng and Law, and he can be regarded as the fellow with the best relationship with Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi wanted to say no, he had a lot of homework at the beginning of school, and he had no interest in eating meat.

Just as I was about to reply, a message popped up in the group.

From Yu Xi, who uses an airplane as his profile picture——

【I'll go as well. 】

******

On weekends, fellow villagers gather.

Zhou Qi arrived very early, but didn't go in. He stood alone in front of the barbecue restaurant for a long time, until the boy from Bei Zhengfa came: "Why don't you go in? Isn't it hot here?"

Zhou Qi: "I'm waiting for you."

"When did you treat me so well?" The boy smiled: "Is it because you are in love with me?"

The two went in together, and the atmosphere inside was already quite warm.Zhou Qi looked around, but didn't see that delicate and stubborn face.

Yuxi hasn't come yet.

He couldn't tell if he was relieved, or a moment of disappointment passed through his heart.

The boy from Beizheng and Law kept chatting with him, and he answered absent-mindedly with a "hmm, ah, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)." The boy quickly said, "You don't love me anymore! You've moved on so soon!"

Zhou Qi smiled.

He was absent-minded because his mind was full of Yu Xi's affairs.

In his freshman year, he himself changed a lot. His once slightly long hair was cut shorter, some thick black-rimmed glasses were replaced with thinner styles, and he no longer wore T-shirts with words like "Adi Wang" printed on them. T-shirt, into a simple plain T-shirt and jeans.

In the words of his roommate, his clothes have improved a lot and he is getting more and more handsome.

There were also many girls chasing him at school, but he refused at first, but a girl named Gong Xiao kept chasing him, and the two chatted occasionally.

Zhou Qi couldn't say he was attracted to Gong Xiaojue, at least he never had the feeling he had for Yu Xi.

Gong Xiao had her curly hair permed after the first year of school, and gradually began to put on makeup. Her clothes also changed from cartoon T-shirts to flowing skirts. She asked Zhou Qi, "Does it look good?"

Zhou Qi: "It's okay."

In fact, he didn't feel anything, but right now he was thinking about what would happen if Yu Xi went to England for a year's exchange.

Will it perm the curly hair?Are you going to start putting on makeup?Will you start wearing skirts?

At this time, the door of the barbecue restaurant was opened.

Zhou Qi was stunned as soon as he looked up.

A familiar cold face, familiar long black hair with ponytail, familiar white T-shirt and jeans.

Even the backpack hooked on one shoulder is still the one from high school.

Yuxi seems to have changed everything, but it seems nothing has changed.

She walked in, bringing a breath of warm sunshine in the late summer evening, mixed with the astringent fragrance of her body.She glanced around and was a little surprised to see Zhou Qi sitting in the corner.

She walked towards Zhou Qi with a backpack on her back: "Are you also in this fellow villager group?"

Zhou Qi nodded, so nervous that he couldn't even say "Long time no see".

When he thought that Yu Xi was going to sit down next to him, Yu Xi walked away with her bag on her back and sat in the lively crowd of strangers.

Could it be that Yu Xi has become cheerful and chatty?

He soon found out that this was not the case, because the content of Yu Xi's conversation with everyone was very short, and Zhou Qi heard it by taking the opportunity of walking over to get pickles.

Yu Xi was asking: "Did you see a very beautiful woman when you went back to your hometown? She has fair skin and long curly hair. What makes her different from others is that she has peach blossom eyes."

"As long as you have seen it, you must know it is her."

Everyone shook their heads, and Yu Xi's eyes darkened.

After finishing the barbecue, Zhou Qi, who had been brewing courage all night, finally walked to Yu Xi's side: "Hi, long time no see."

Yu Xi nodded: "Time flies, I haven't seen you for a year."

Zhou Qi: "Walk to the subway station together?"

Yu Xi: "Okay."

The late summer evening breeze was blowing slowly, and Zhou Qi could smell the oily smoke from barbecue all over his body. He was a little embarrassed, but thinking that Yu Xi had the same oily smoke smell on his body, his heart settled down again.

The two walked through a small shop selling milk tea together.

Walk past a flower shop full of flowers.

Walking past a movie theater, there is a freehand landscape poster of the movie "Crash" hanging in front of the door.

When they were almost at the subway station, Zhou Qi finally said, "You haven't given up yet? I'm looking for you... Sister Yi."

Yu Xi: "Well. Why did you give up?"

Her eyes were black and white, as clear as a stream, Zhou Qi seemed to find it difficult to speak such dejected words as "finding a needle in a haystack" and "no hope" in front of these eyes.

Zhou Qi said, "What if you can't find it all the time?"

Yu Xi gave a rare smile: "Then I'll keep looking."

The author says:

A new copy of Beicheng is open!Come on kids~

In addition, sister Yi's identity will be announced tomorrow, the last round of guessing, buy it and leave~
