Gaya Street

The alarm clock was set at eight o'clock, Lin Jing glanced at his phone when he woke up, it was only a little past seven o'clock.He himself lives in a community not far from the school. There are dense poplar trees outside the window of the room. When the summer wind blows, the leaves rustle; Wake up.

From the time when he first came to Beijing to the present, Lin Jing is often woken up by such and other sounds, sometimes it is natural wind and rain, sometimes it is honking and hawking, in short, it is disturbing.He didn't like this house at all, so he missed the days of living in the school dormitory before the holiday even more.

He took out the breakfast from the convenience store the day before from the refrigerator, heated it in the microwave, and ate it with milk.The rice balls in convenience stores only have those few flavors, and they taste like nothing after eating them.After the college entrance examination, he never had school breakfast again. Other students disliked the bad taste, but Lin Jing thought it was delicious. It was hot from the pot, and it tasted better than the microwave. Much better, much like home made taste.

Today is the graduation ceremony, and after the end there is a dinner party. Since the end of the college entrance examination, the number of activities in the class, large and small, is too numerous to count.After one or two times, Lin Jing didn't really want to go, but Wu You was always in high spirits. Lin Jing thought it was time to meet Wu You. There were not many opportunities left, and he should cherish every time.

Wu You is very popular in the class, but he himself is too lively, scrambling to attend various gatherings, as if he really has a deep relationship with those classmates.Occasionally, Lin Jing couldn't help but want to tap his little head and tell him, don't waste time, your good friend Lin Jing is going abroad soon, can you spend more time with him.

Not a rowdy party with a group of people, but an individual, two-person kind.Lin Jing is very reluctant to part with you, he wants to see you again.

Thinking of this, the tasteless rice balls were even more difficult to swallow, and Lin Jing threw more than half of them into the trash can.

Today is the last chance to go to school, and each of them has left a lot of sundries in the locker, waiting to move home today.Lin Jing unzipped her schoolbag and took out several large file folders to make room for some last high school memories.The translucent folder is full of various documents, such as passports, resumes, applications, and foreign language transcripts. A post-it note is pasted on it, listing several lines of material lists. Many lines have been crossed out, and now only " "Graduation Certificate" and "College Entrance Examination Results", the fonts are messy, and now I can feel how impatient that person was when writing.

Only these two things are missing. After the end of the day, the content on this sticky note will be crossed out, the small fluorescent note will be thrown away, and the materials in the folder will be sent to the other side of the ocean, where they will stay for a few months. When I fly there in September, I will start a university life that is different from other students.

After today is over, I will say goodbye.Lin Jing hasn't learned how to say goodbye yet, too many things he didn't say, too many things he didn't dare to do, he is not reconciled, he doesn't want to say goodbye.

I received a text message from Wu You last night, he said that his mother sent him to school today, so there is no need to wait for him to come with him.Lin Jing walked to the bus station. When he was not living in the dormitory, sometimes he would walk to school with Wu You. If there was not enough time, he would take the No. 13 bus first, send a message to Wu You, and wait until it arrived at his home. At the station, Wu You got on the car again and went with him.

It was agreed in this way that Lin Jing would stand at the front door of the bus every time, and Wu You would wait for him in front of the station. When he saw Lin Jing from afar, he would laugh and wave to him. The silly student was greeting someone, looked around, and finally locked on Lin Jing through the same school uniform.Lin Jing began to feel that Wu You's overly enthusiastic way of saying hello was embarrassing, and she didn't know how to speak to dissuade him, but in the end he could only do so.

Today, I was the only one taking the bus. Lin Jing sat in the last row of the bus. He seemed to be able to see himself standing at the door in his memory. He could see Wu You running and jumping to get on the bus, patting him on the shoulder and saying good morning.

Lin Jing is next to the window. Outside the window is the green life of midsummer. On the red ribbon is written a slogan full of fighting spirit, "Be a good host and host the Olympic Games", and the song I heard for the first time is in the earphones.Lin Jing remembered that Wu You liked this singer very much recently, and saved it for him when he downloaded the MP3, saying that he would sing with him the next time he went to sing.The lyrics are very appropriate now: the road is congested every day, and everyone is patient every day.

This moment is already a precursor to the morning rush hour. The car is honking its horn, urging the vehicles that are parked in front to move faster, and the flexible electric vehicles will also squeeze into the gaps in the traffic flow, and rush out of the tight encirclement when they get the chance.Everyone seems to be in a hurry, everyone is in a hurry, only Lin Jing wants to slow down the time.

There is a transparent sign on the glass of the bus, which is densely packed with small red characters, and the content is probably a safety reminder. The glue at the corners has lost its stickiness, and the edges are warped.Lin Jing smoothed it out. He remembered that when he first entered this middle school, on the No. 13 bus, he met Wu You for the first time——Wu You probably didn't even remember it.Lin Jing thought it was because of this reason that he loved this route so much.

He always remembers these details clearly.Lin Jing knew that such scenes would never appear again, and he wanted to remember these memories more firmly, so that he would not be too lonely when he was in a foreign country.

After the bus arrives at the station, you have to walk over a long overpass to get to the school.Lin Jing walked up the steps and reached the middle of the overpass. His eyes fell on the school gate, and he saw Wu You standing there unexpectedly.Taking a closer look, his mother was holding a camera opposite him, taking pictures of him on the day of the graduation ceremony.

According to Wu You's text message, he should still be on the road at this time, and will go directly to the auditorium to attend the graduation ceremony in ten minutes.Besides, the ceremony reserved space for the parents, and there were plenty of opportunities to take pictures, so why rush now.

Lin Jing grew up alone since she was a child, and she is much more sensitive to many things than her peers.He naturally thought that Wu You was probably afraid that Lin Jing would care, and thoughtfully wanted to accompany him through the unremembered graduation ceremony.

Lin Jing watched him change poses at the school gate, leaving many photos, each of which was smiling brightly.He also pulled a passerby to take a photo with him and his mother. His mother was still full of ideas, as if she was discussing with him to take a few more pictures after the ceremony started.Wu You's still smiling face sank immediately, urging his mother to leave.

What a disobedient and bad boy, his mother treats him as her own, even if she asks her to take pictures of the two of them, Lin Jing is willing to do so.It's just that Lin Jing's heart is still sore, feeling as sad as being caught. The only family member despises him as a burden, but his friends regard him as a treasure that must never be discarded.

But the word friend is the only word that makes people dissatisfied.

Lin Jing looked at him, watched him say goodbye to his mother with a smile, squinted his eyes and waved his hands, not knowing what he would look like when he said goodbye to himself.

The singing in his earphones is still going on, the road is jammed every day, and everyone is waiting every day.Lin Jing heard the lyrics after these two lines clearly for the first time: life is very black and white without you, so this is love.

The graduation ceremony didn't last long, and the students present were all looking forward to it, but after two hours, they felt that the food was tasteless. The only thing that touched them was the speech of the graduate representative - the monitor of their class was selected, and he was impassioned as the representative of the class. He left a speech with hundreds of people, and now he is being surrounded by people, accepting worship with infinite glory.

Wu You also took Lin Jing to take a photo together, and said "my good brother", Lin Jing felt that it was harsh, but he couldn't say anything.He didn't care about anything else, he just grabbed the photographer and left his email, saying that he must send the photos to himself.At this time, another protagonist has returned to the crowd, playing and joking with his other good brothers.

Lin Jing sighed, feeling helpless and unwilling.

The results of the college entrance examination happened to be released on the day of the graduation ceremony. The students in the same class had dinner at a pizza restaurant near the school. It's normal, and I dare not celebrate to my heart's content.Wu You was an exception, he lost his eyesight when he was happy, and no matter what the surrounding atmosphere was, he was still very intoxicated laughing and making noises with others.

Lin Jing sat at one end of the dining table, looking at Wu You who was fighting with several other boys in the corner of the booth.After checking his grades with his mobile phone, he felt calmer. No matter what his grades were, he was going to leave the city.

After the father knew the results, he was still indifferent as usual, without any encouragement or comfort, he just said that he should hurry up to go abroad, and he didn't know whether to tell Lin Jing or himself.When I got home today, I had to fill in new materials in the translucent folder, and continue the application work that I started early.If the college entrance examination scores are good, go to Canada, if not, go to Singapore, Malaysia, etc. After all, you have to leave this country, and you have to leave Wu You.

Lin Jing never told Wu You, and he never told anyone.How should he say it, he was afraid to say it, the carefree Wu You would only reply, good brother, when the time comes, I will go abroad to find you.He's a little fool who can say that.

"We must always be impulsive and passionate, not afraid of the future, and not disappoint our youth."

This was the bold statement made by the class monitor at the just-concluded graduation ceremony. At this moment, the boy was sitting next to Wu You, and the two of them were holding Coke and drinking two bottles of beer.Lin Jing sees him as hateful, he is usually a kind of old-fashioned dogmatic good guy who is about to graduate, and he said such provocative words again, it seems like a spell specially uttered to Lin Jing, reminding him to do some reckless and stupid things .

"Are you going to KTV tomorrow too?"

"Ah."

After the dinner, they went to school to make a fuss, and the lively reunion didn't end until the evening.Lin Jing and Wu You's schoolbags are full of things cleaned out from the lockers, and they both feel that they are memories of youth, drafts, calculation papers, everything is not willing to throw away, filling the entire backpack, carrying it on their backs, pressing My shoulders hurt.Lin Jing turned his face to the side and saw Wu You tugging on the strap of the schoolbag, turning his shoulders in a small movement, then reached behind him, and quietly pressed it on the bottom of the schoolbag.Wu You didn't notice it at all, and he was still mumbling, saying that he was too full of pizza, and then he said that he would practice singing when he went home at night, and he would be a mic master at KTV tomorrow. I didn't hear it, I forgot all the words.

As usual, he was always like this when he was with Wu You, Wu You kept talking, and Lin Jing listened quietly.The difference is that he and Wu You have always had a tacit understanding, but now they are not in harmony with each other like a dream in the same bed. It's just that I need to let Wu You know these thoughts, and how much should I let him know.Lin Jing was struggling alone, but the leading actor Wu You was like an outsider, with a relaxed and happy mind, and even hummed a little tune.

"Stop singing, it doesn't sound good at all." Lin Jing pretended to be irritable, and swayed and bumped Wu You's shoulder.

"It's very nice to hear, don't pretend you don't like it," he was acting coquettishly, bumping back with a playful smile, "I'm home, see you tomorrow."

Lin Jing also promised to see you tomorrow, but her thoughts became confused again.

Don't pretend you don't like it.You have to be impulsive and enthusiastic.The two words I heard in a few hours were like a spell of bewitching, manipulating Lin Jing, who was already in a state of confusion, to turn those fantasies into actions, before the sunset, before the separation came.

Lin Jing grabbed Wu You's hand, closed his eyes, and put a kiss on Wu You's lips.
