Wanderer

Yan Wan didn't follow Bai Yunqi upstairs, but stood downstairs for a while, her eyes chasing the little boy who ran past her far away.

She turned her head and said to Bai Yunqi who was waiting there: "Auntie won't go up, the weather is hot and cold, you and Xiao Hai both pay attention to your health, young people will suffer if they don't take their health seriously."

Bai Yunqi: "Don't worry, I will remind Brother Wen to pay attention."

Yan Wan nodded to him, sat back in the car, rolled down the window and said softly: "Go up first, I want to sit here for a while."

"……it is good."

Bai Yunqi pushed open the door with his schoolbag in his hand, and bumped into Wen Hai who was leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window. The man held a burnt cigarette between his hands, lowered his head slightly, and stared down - that should be Yan Wan's car stop position.

He walked over, snatched the cigarette butt that was about to burn his fingertips from Wen Hai's hand, and said, "Auntie wants you to pay more attention to your body."

"En." Wen Hai rubbed his fingers, but there was no reaction. He watched Yan Wan's car drive out of the community, turned around and asked him: "What will happen to the parents?"

Bai Yunqi truthfully repeated what Yan Wan told him, and said, "Teacher Wu probably wants me to set Beijing University as my goal."

"No. [-] Middle School can produce five or six students who go to Beijing University every year. It is no problem for you to perform stably." Wen Hai understood Wu Guangming's meaning—whether it was for Bai Yunqi's own future or for the teacher's own utilitarianism and the school's admission rate reputation Beijing University is the best choice. When I went to Long'an Public University on my own, the school leaders picked Wu Guangming's thorns, thinking that his role as a teacher did not play a mobilizing role. "What do you mean? Think Are you going to Beijing University?"

"Beijing University is pretty good." Bai Yunqi nodded, "It's just too far away."

"What are you afraid of? It takes hours to fly no matter how far away." Wen Hai rubbed his hair, "You don't have to worry about money,"

"...Do you have a son?"

"Well, it's an angel investment." Wen Hai sneered, "Remember to give me a dividend when I'm successful, and I can leave a funeral expense even if I die at home alone."

Hearing him say "die at home alone" so lightly, Bai Yunqi's heart tightened, and he couldn't help asking: "Are you really planning to live alone forever?"

Wen Hai responded casually: "What's the matter, are you going to introduce someone to me?"

Bai Yunqi tentatively asked, "Is there any standard?"

"Male. Live."

"..."

"Why don't you ask me that?" Wen Hai yawned lazily, then turned to cook in the kitchen, "Don't worry, no one will compete with you for the bed in the study room, you can live here whenever you want."

Bai Yunqi didn't expect Wen Hai to guess what was on his mind so easily, and after a brief panic, he asked calmly, "What will your future boyfriend not want to do?"

"Then drive him out." Wen Hai said casually wearing an apron, "You have to say first come, first served... Hey, I said, hang up my clothes first if you have time to think about it."

Bai Yunqi was knocked dizzy by the uniform jacket, covered his face with the clothes and turned around in a circle, smelling the sandalwood and tobacco smell from Hai's body all over his head and face, his face turned red, and he tore off the clothes with his hands. He walked over to the hanger.

Wen Hai turned his head to look at Bai Yunqi's tall and straight silhouette, and threw the fruit knife in his hand upwards, the blade rotated in mid-air to form a silver arc, and the handle of the knife fell back firmly into his hand, he was a little bit confused for a while. In a daze, he let out a soft "hey".

Bai Yunqi immediately looked back at him: "What's wrong?"

"Uh..." Wen Hai cleared his throat, "Come and help me chop vegetables."

"Okay." Bai Yunqi rolled up his sleeves, and asked again when passing by Wenhai: "Will you ask your boyfriend to help you chop vegetables in the future? Ask him to be able to do housework... Whoops - I was wrong!"

Wen Hai pinched the child's face relentlessly, and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you today? Are you planning to be a professional matchmaker in the future, or... tsk, what are you laughing at?!"

That brat seemed to have expected himself to do this, and smiled at him whenever he had something to do...but he really did do it!

Bai Yunqi said slowly: "I'll help you keep an eye out for it in college...cut carrots or beans?"

"You can figure it out, cut whatever you want and eat whatever you want." Wen Hai chewed the word "boyfriend" several times, and the strange and absurd joy collided in his heart, bumping into a certain corner that was perennially lifeless. Being awakened unwillingly, the din of Yingtian began to boil for a while.

What type of boyfriend are you looking for?He thought and thought, but still couldn't come up with any specific appearance, only a Bai Yunqi dangling in front of his eyes, asking him whether he was eating carrots or beans.

"Let's eat beans." Wen Hai said, "By the way, remember one thing for me. When looking for a partner, don't look for someone who has choice phobia."

Bo Yunqi shook his hands, and almost dunked the vegetable bowl containing the beans into the sink. When he hurriedly tidied it up, he missed Wen Hai's suppressed laughter behind him.

From the beginning of April to the beginning of June, Bai Yunqi lived peacefully under the influence of the school, Wen Hai, and the couple Bai Tong'an who called from time to time to check on the post, without any mistakes.

His English listening ability has always been weak, so he got up half an hour early every day to listen to the original college entrance examination questions and the recordings of international news. By the way, he made a variety of breakfasts in the kitchen. Today is milk oatmeal, and tomorrow is mung bean and millet soup. After a few days, he made a Western breakfast again - he found a bag of bacon in the freezer that was about to expire, probably stuffed by Bai Tong'an before.

Wen Hai developed a punctual biological clock in the police academy. He didn’t need an alarm clock to get up at 06:30 every day, but because he saved the time to make breakfast, he couldn’t help but want to stay in bed when he opened his eyes these days It's already past seven o'clock after getting dressed, which makes him feel sad every time he eats the breakfast made by Bai Yunqi - on the one hand, he is worried that he will degenerate physically and mentally, and on the other hand, he is worried that the child will go to bed if he doesn't agree with each other. Learn to cook.

In addition, such a day-to-day life has no new ideas. He and the students from all over the country who want to "cross the single-plank bridge" are struggling with the sea of ​​questions, sleep at midnight, black coffee and mints Put it in your mouth in turn.

Ke Likai stopped coming to class in mid-April, and told Wu Guangming that he had gone outside to enroll in a special cultural class.The day after he left on leave, Liu Xinyu said that yesterday afternoon he saw Ke Likai arguing with a man at the gate of the art building. Exhausted.

After he finished speaking, and Bai Yunqi listened to it, this matter was still a game of dead chess, and in the end, all the outsiders could give was a sigh of "Why so?"

Sun Miao is still the same, even if she only sleeps for four or five hours a day, she still looks like a freshly unpacked AA battery. When the college entrance examination was approaching, she won the first prize in a composition competition. Putting her in the training center where she works is just a pretense——Sun Miao is an honorary student of this training center, and she hasn't been to class for a day, and the advertisements in the high school of the training center cannot do without her every time.

In fact, the training center might as well give her the position of "preparatory teacher". After all, this girl can make Liu Xinyu, an authentic old elm lump that has grown wildly for 18 years, be enlightened in both "love" and "learning" at the same time. Even in the third model, he was admitted to the middle class for an unprecedented time, which is indeed a major breakthrough in high school education.

At the beginning of June, No. [-] Middle School, like most high schools, gave senior high school students a one-week vacation. The euphemistic name is to "adjust your mood and relax your mind." comfort.

It was the first time for Bai Yunqi to squeeze out of the school gate with so many students, and almost became one of the victims of a stampede. Wen Hai, who had been prepared for a long time, overcame all the obstacles and pulled him out of the crowd with his collar.

The two staggered and fell out of the human wall from the group of students grazing sheep. In their ears, they roared like a security shepherd dog: "Don't squeeze—what about you—parents' cars are not allowed in!"

Wen Hai subconsciously supported Bai Yunqi's waist with one hand because he wanted to stand still, and grabbed the man's shoulder with the other hand. Just by looking at the movement, it seemed that he was holding Bai Yunqi into his arms, and he panicked. Turning his head away, he let go of the person and took a step back.

Bai Yunqi seemed unaware of the ambiguity at that moment just now, he sniffed as he approached Wenhai, and frowned displeasedly.

"what happened?"

"You've been smoking more and more recently."

"Recently, there is a case that is quite difficult." Wen Hai said, and took another step to the side unaccustomed, "Let's go, your brother wants to treat you to dinner."

At this time last year, Bai Yunqi was at home and his grandma was tormenting each other to the death. His grandma screamed hysterically at the door of the house and threw his schoolbag and exam admission ticket upstairs. , so he turned a blind eye and continued to read the second-hand magazines he picked up in the corridor, but the crazy woman twisted his ears and forced him to go down to pick them up, and slapped him while crying. No one knew what she was crying about.

Everyone who lives upstairs and downstairs knows that Mrs. Xu on the third floor likes to hit a child who doesn't know if it is her son or grandson. Hello.The stumbled woman who lived across the door leaned against the door frame and coughed melon seeds, giggling: "Xiaoqi is going to take the college entrance examination, maybe we can really produce a college student here, hahaha..."

She spat the melon seeds on his face, Bai Yunqi let her go, as if that face was not his own anymore, but his grandma quit, pushing him down the stairs seven or eight steps, He rushed over and tore into a ball with that woman.Two women were fighting in the corridor with their clothes disheveled, and there were more than a dozen men watching the excitement inside and outside. No one really cared about the so-called "changing fate" exam-they all believed in fate, and they believed wholeheartedly that "knowledge changes Destiny" bullshit is for people who are destined to learn knowledge, they don't have it, and neither do their children and grandchildren.

But now his college entrance examination has become a small-scale event for the Bai family.The couple, Bai Tong'an and Xin Xin, were extremely anxious, fearing that Wen Hai would be unreliable and miss things, they called three times a day to check on the post, and Xin Xin, who was born in the English department, even wrote a few sentences for Bai Yunqi. He asked him to memorize the composition template, and Wen Hai, who hadn't finished his English, read it in advance, and had a premonition that the life of Little Devil Xin would probably be in dire straits in the future.

For some reason, Mr. Bai, who still remembered the "college entrance examination", also met Bai Yunqi, chatted briefly, and gave him a small pendant carved by himself. The meanings of "a blockbuster" and "higher and higher" are both good omens.

But in one year, can a person's life really undergo such a huge change?Is the so-called fate supposed to be so twists and turns, or is it just another malicious joke?

Bai Yunqi looked at the flames from the lighter in Wen Hai's hand in a daze, and when he was caught, he broke out in a cold sweat

"Did you hear what I just said?" Wen Hai stubbed out the cigarette he had just taken a few puffs of, "There are a lot of cars at the entrance of the middle school these two days, don't wander around after you finish the exam, I will wait for you at the school gate, remember to ask I."

The flames of the lighter were still swaying in front of Bai Yunqi's eyes, flickering and turning from dots to raging fires. He smelled gasoline inexplicably, which was the same as the smell in the ruins.

Wen Hai's hand picked up a gust of wind, and the flames began to flicker and extinguish. His hand fell on Bai Yunqi's shoulder, with a heavy, gentle blessing.

"Don't forget," said the man, "I'm standing right at the school gate."

The flames were extinguished.
