The Blaze of Xueba

Boyhood (38)

Zhou Yan chose liberal arts.

Unexpectedly.

Lao Cai looked at him deliberately for a minute when he received his registration form, and asked, "Are you sure you want to choose liberal arts?"

Zhou Yan nodded, "Yes, liberal arts."

Lao Cai put the registration form on the desk. Zhou Yan is a well-known model student. Lao Cai knew that such a child is consciously independent and has his own ideas, so he didn't say much.

Of course, his mother knew about his selection of essays right away, and the result of knowing it was a thunderstorm.Zhou Yan deliberately went home half an hour late that day, and as soon as he turned on the light, he saw his parents sitting on the sofa waiting for the battle.

What should come is still coming.

Zhou Yan was heartbroken for a while, thinking that his mother would trigger a family war again.

irritable.

Cheng Fang was so angry at the beginning, how could her son choose the text!How could his son make his own opinion on the selection of essays!

Her anger plummeted from coming back from get off work to dinner. Seeing that Zhou Yan didn't come home until midnight, her mother-child heart finally quenched her anger and waved her hand to call Zhou Yan over.

"Son, how do you choose essays? Didn't you say you want to choose rationale?"

"I didn't say I wanted to be elected."

Zhou Yan's attitude was so cold that Cheng Fang mistakenly thought that she had admitted to the wrong person. Is this still her son Zhou Yan?For so many years, she has been cultivating Zhou Yan as a thing instead of caring about him as a person. She is still used to ordering and questioning him like she was a child, instead of understanding and forgiving him.

Seeing Zhou Yan's tired face, Zhou Shuzhi said, "My son just came back, and he has to go to class tomorrow, let him rest early. He has already handed in the form, and the matter is done, so it's useless to ask again. In my opinion, The selection of texts is also quite good, you see our country’s leaders are all born in liberal arts, who said that liberal arts must be worse than science.”

Cheng Fang gave Zhou Shu a hard look, and wanted to scold him a few words, but she held back and sighed, "Forget it, Wen is Wen. Son, it's getting late, go to bed."

Zhou Yan nodded, then returned to the room.

Cheng Fang has worked hard to make money every day for these years. He comes and goes to work at home, and never leaves the money. He has performed his job as a bank clerk conscientiously. After so many years of hard work, he finally got into the position of lobby manager. Once a person has ambition, he has the will to realize it method, then it can be regarded as obsessed, blowing nose and face at home and outside, extremely arrogant.

As a result, she has been busy with her business to a higher level, and she doesn't have much time to worry about the division of arts and sciences with Zhou Yan. In addition, there are many people in the places where she has been hanging out these years, and she is not as narrow-minded as before, so she has to go one way. in the end.

Whether it is liberal arts or science, the most important thing is to get a good university in the college entrance examination. If you choose a wrong major, you will have to take the postgraduate entrance examination to make up for it, take the doctoral exam to save you, and you can go abroad. There are so many exams in life.Besides, as long as a person has the ability, liberal arts is actually no worse than science.

Thinking about it this way, Cheng Fang felt that there was really no need for him to flirt with a high school student who was in a rebellious period with excellent grades. He grew up so big, he should have his own ideas.

Zhou Yan was originally afraid that his mother would force him to change to science as he did when he was a child, but it turned out that when he grows up, he will grow up, and his mother can't control him.

So it's nice to grow up.

After taking off the burden of his mother, Zhou Yan was relaxed physically and mentally, and didn't even bother to do homework. He read novels all night, and went to school wearing panda glasses the next day.

Seeing him, Li Lie pointed to his panda eyes and asked, "Comrade Zhou Yan, what did you do to sneak around last night? Your eyes are dark, and you look like a drug addict."

Zhou Yan threw his schoolbag on the desk, and rolled the whites of his eyes, which complemented the shiny black eye circles, "You're the one who sneaks around!"

"Oh, then what did you do, why do you look so haggard?" Li Lie put his arms around Zhou Yan's shoulders without hesitation.

Zhou Yan said confidently, "Last night I worked on the problem all night, you know what a fart! Don't talk nonsense, I am not like some people who are fooling around all day long."

Li Lie immediately put on an expression of "If I believe you, you are my uncle", he sniffed, and whispered in his ear, "You are still hiding that matter from brother, tell the truth, are you Didn’t you watch the anime again?”

Zhou Yan's face turned red to the base of his ears, and he really regretted that he had lost ground in the hands of a bitch like Li Lie by talking too much for a while, and asked him these unspeakable things meanly every day.

Seeing that Zhou Yan's carrot was so ripe, Li Lie smiled, and touched his waist, "How about it, your brother understands you. Hahahahahahahaha..."

Zhou Yan slammed on Li Lie's foot, but unexpectedly missed it, and Li Lie ran away like a fool.

A gentleman cannot delay revenge for a moment.Zhou Yan yelled anxiously from behind, "Li Lie, stop! I'm going to kill you!"

The whole school’s freshman year ended with the sound of scorching cicadas, the last exam in their senior year—the final exam. After the final exam, the summer vacation was over. Those who chose liberal arts lost their science books, and those who chose science lost their books. Liberal arts books, the classrooms are in a mess, colorful or new or old books, exercise books, notebooks are strewn about on the floor, just like the battlefield of horse leather shrouds.

Li Lie's desk was in a mess, except for the textbooks and a few notebooks on the desk, there were no textbooks on his body, and he flew into the sky.He was the only one in the class who was not in a hurry, he was very carefree, he even teased Zhou Yan here and there, and vowed not to stop until he got angry with Zhou Yan.

Yang Wei and Wu Fatty had almost lost all the things they should have lost. The bloated desks had lost twenty catties of fat, and they looked extremely thin.

"Brother Lie, are you going back?" Fatty Wu asked, sweating profusely.

Li Lie sat on the chair and waved his hands, "You go back first."

Yang Wei urged Wu Pang to say, "Don't talk too much, don't you see that Brother Lie is busy?"

busy?Where are you busy?Others were busy clearing books and throwing them away, but he was the only one who sat still like an old man, like a supervisor.

Wu Pang's forehead was sweating all the time, and he looked at Yang Wei in confusion.Yang Wei pulled Wu Fat away, "Not only do you look like a pig, but your brain is also a pig's brain."

Fatty Wu, "?"

"Didn't you see brother lie waiting for Zhou Yan?"

"?"

"Depend on."

"..."

"I'll tell you later, go now and play with me. It's finally a holiday, so I have to play for three days and three nights first."

Almost everyone in the class left. Zhou Yan had too many books. The three mountains were as high as three mountains. It was finally cleaned up. Zhou Yan was so tired that smoke was coming from his throat.

Li Lie handed him a bottle of iced Coke, and he took it, gulping down.

"Do you want to move all these books back?"

"Ah."

Li Lie looked left and right, found a few notebooks, and took them over, "Let's keep these as a souvenir for my brother."

Before Zhou Yan could say anything, Li Lie added a sentence that hurt him, "We won't see each other in the future, so let's keep it in mind."

Zhou Yan's face was gloomy. He was originally in a calm mood, but suddenly Li Lie's words stirred up a storm, and he felt uncomfortable and depressed.He turned around, propped his hands on the balcony, frowned into a Sichuan shape, and fell silent amidst the loud chirping of cicadas.

This classroom, this seat, this person, he will never see or own this classroom when school starts next year.

This year he lived ten years.

Ten years is also the blink of an eye.

Li Lie patted him gently, he turned around, Li Lie couldn't bear to see his eyes red, he really wanted to hug him and cry bitterly, but he still forced a smile, pretending to be a hippie smile, "Why, don't you want to part with brother?"

So what if you don't want to?

Zhou Yan thought that this person might never know what kind of thoughts he was hiding about him, and if he said it, he would definitely be shocked.

shame.

Since she decided to let go, why bother to pretend to be a daughter and make people angry.

But tonight and hexi, I don't know when I will see him next time.

the last time.the last time.

Zhou Yan said, "Li Lie, help me move these books back together."

Li Lie straightened his body, raised his hand as a salute, grinned and said, "Yessir!"

Zhou Yan's home, Li Lie, came here once, and he was familiar with the road. He moved the heavy books lightly like the wind, but Zhou Yan hurriedly followed behind him.

Li Lie put the book in Zhou Yan's room. This was the first time he entered Zhou Yan's room. It was very monotonous, and it really fit his usual appearance.

Zhou Yan threw a pack of wet tissues to Li Lie to wipe off his sweat, and handed him a glass of iced orange juice, "Go ahead and drink it."

Li Lie wiped his sweat lavishly, his sweat-drenched hair was shaved to one side, he looked like Hanawa in Chibi Maruko, but to be honest, he was much prettier than Hanawa, with clear eyebrows, tall and slender figure, When he was not a ruffian, he was an extremely sunny and handsome gentle scum.

Li Lie frowned dissatisfiedly, "I don't want to drink this, is there anything else to drink?"

"This is the only one at home now. If you don't believe me, go to the refrigerator and check it yourself."

Unexpectedly, Li Lie actually went to the refrigerator. The food in this well-off family is so environmentally friendly. The refrigerator is full of green and healthy food, and there is no junk food.

Li Lie played childish temper, "I want to eat ice cream."

Zhou Yan felt that Li Lie's childish temper was comparable to that of a pet dog, both hateful and cute.He put on his shoes again, "I'm going to buy them now, you stay in my room and turn on the air conditioner if it's hot."

Li Lie wanted to say "I'll go with you", but Zhou Yan bought ice cream as fast as Liu Xiang, and suddenly disappeared.

Li Lie helped Zhou Yan put the books neatly on the table. In fact, in his eyes, cleaning means looking neat, regardless of the classification, and the order is neat.After finishing the book, he broke out in sweat again, and wiped it with a wet tissue again.He wandered around, Zhou Yan's room was really boring, except for the book and the bed, there was nothing to be explored. He searched for things, but he didn't find any secret things hidden by Zhou Yan.

Why doesn't this kid become 007, to ensure that no one can pry anything out.

He fell headlong on Zhou Yan's clean and soft bed, his whole body skeleton seemed to be sucked in, it was so comfortable.

He flipped over the pillow, wondering if Zhou Yan might be hiding something here, but unfortunately the pillow was just a pillow, with no wool wrapped around it.

Zhou Yan was carrying a big bag of ice cream, and before he could catch his breath, he saw Li Lie lying sprawled on his bed. He was afraid that the ice cream would melt due to the heat, and he was afraid that Li Lie would not be able to wait, so he went back and forth The pace is hurried, sweating profusely.

While wiping his sweat, Zhou Yan pointed to a large bag of ice cream and said, "You can choose what you want."

Seeing all kinds of colorful ice cream, Li Lie asked in surprise, "Why do you buy so many?"

"I don't know your taste, so I just bought all of them."

"Oh."

Li Lie chewed the ice cream, feeling happy and warm in his heart, couldn't help but look at Zhou Yan a few more times.Zhou Yan also picked up an ice cream, sat on the bed with his back against the wall and ate it.

Zhou Yan, "Li Lie, I usually have nothing to do and I like looking at the sky like this."

"Aren't you distracted like this in class?"

"How do you know I'm distracted in class?"

"Of course it's because I'm distracted too."

"..."

Li Lie smiled, "Do you like the sky so much?"

Zhou Yan shook his head, "That's not true. People want to find sustenance when they are bored or in pain. Some people believe in Buddhism, and some people believe in Christ."

"Then what do you believe in?"

I believe you.

Zhou Yan looked out at the blue sky in July through the window, and the cicadas were singing in his ears.In Li Lie's view, Zhou Yan at this moment has become a painting again, with a sad profile drawn out, like a sad boy, always looking so lonely, as if he is looking for something, what is he looking for?

Li Lie asked, "Are you looking for something?"

Zhou Yan smiled miserably, "It's just freedom."

Zhou Yan eats slowly, but the ice cream melts very fast, dripping down the wooden stick. This young man is in a daze, and he didn't notice at all. The melted ice cream also licked Zhou Yan's hand holding the ice cream.

The atmosphere was originally about talking about life and philosophy, and it was about to enter into a soul conversation, but it was suddenly forcibly suspended by the damn ice cream.Li Lie's posture was so embarrassing. Zhou Yan blushed when he saw it. It was a hot day, and people were wearing few clothes. Li Lie bent down, and the T-shirt rolled forward, and he couldn't pull it off, revealing his Backside with damn abs.

Zhou Yan couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva watching, his eyes swept over Li Lie's strong abdominal muscles one by one, his heart was beating so hard that the ice cream in his hand trembled.

Seeing Zhou Yan trembling like a goat, Li Lie ate up the ice cream in one go, shook him and asked loudly, "Hey, Zhou Yan, are you okay, are you suffering from heat stroke?"

Zhou Yan strongly restrained his desire, and drew a living mark on Li Lie's hand, "Go find me two ice cubes in the refrigerator."

Li Lie immediately took a big ice cube from the frozen layer. Zhou Yan took it and put it on his forehead with his eyes closed. Cursing yourself was close to making a big mistake.

"Zhou Yan, are you okay? Are you sure you have heat stroke?" Li Lie asked worriedly.

Zhou Yan said slowly, "It's not your fault, you have to let me buy ice cream, can you avoid heatstroke after running for a long time under the poisonous sun?"

Li Lie felt sorry for him and had nothing to say.

Suddenly Li Lie looked at him seriously, "Zhou Yan, you will be free. One day."

I will set you free one day.

The desire that had just been forcibly suppressed was hooked up because of Li Lie's solemn and affectionate expression at this moment. Zhou Yan turned on the air conditioner, as if a piece of carbon was burning in his heart, it was extremely hot.

He resisted, with a flat expression, "Then thank you for your good words."

When we parted, Li Lie said, "Zhou Yan, if we are not in the same class when we are in the second year of high school, if you meet me on the road, if you are too lazy to say hello and smile at me, it's fine."

do not talk.

Please stop talking.

Zhou Yan's heart was bleeding from pain, he smiled miserably in pain, "Is this kind of smile okay?"

Li Lie shook his head, "Like a dead man's smile, it's not good-looking." After speaking, he smiled himself, pointed at himself and said, "You want to smile like brother, you know?"

Li Lie flattened Zhou Yan's Chuanzi eyebrows, straightened his face, then bent the corners of Zhou Yan's mouth with his thumb and index finger, "Smile."

Zhou Yan really smiled, beautifully, and Li Lie was very satisfied.Zhou Yan held Li Lie's small arm, lowered his head, his face was covered with a layer of gloom, and said in a low voice, "Li Lie, goodbye."

never see again.

"Goodbye."

see you soon.

Li Lie disappeared briskly at the gate of the community. Zhou Yan recovered and found that his palms were covered with sweat. When he returned to the room, he found that the smell of the guy was still there. He shed a tear and fell on the floor, lonely and painful reverberate.
