Bayberry popping beads

After evening self-study and school, they walked slowly out of the school gate along the noisy crowd, the smell of cigarettes on their bodies was entangled, and the breath of mint and slight nicotine would dissipate when the north wind blew.

"Did Lao Yu teach you to say that?" After hearing Wen Yu's faltering words, Shi Can frowned.

Wen Yu denied: "No, I wanted to find a chance to chat with you, but you have always refused."

Shi Can: "I didn't refuse...forget it."

With a slight leeway, Wen Yu put one hand on the strap of Shi Can's schoolbag, pressed it down, and said in a low voice, "Then why don't you think about it, I can go to the same place as you to go to college."

These words sounded extremely humble, and at first thought there was nothing wrong with it, but they couldn't stand up to scrutiny.

As soon as Wen Yu blurted out, he realized something was wrong, and was about to make amends, but Shi Can seemed to be greatly stimulated suddenly, and slapped his hand suddenly: "Yes, yes! Xueba, anyway, good schools are everywhere! "

Wen Yu quickly said, "That's not what I meant."

Shi Can's thin lips were drawn into a line: "Then what do you mean?"

Wen Yu: "...I just thought, you can..."

"I can't!" Shi Can raised his voice, making Wen Yu so excited that he couldn't help but stop.

He stepped to the side, suddenly getting far away from Wen Yu, causing the students passing by to look sideways.And Shi Can had never had such a tone: "You are the same as Lao Yu, there is no difference! If you fail the exam, it is no use for you to find a way for me! Xueba, you don't have to accommodate me, how wronged you are!"

"Stop talking about me in a f*cking way!" Anger flared up all of a sudden, and Wen Yu followed him to throw away reason, "Grievance? Give in! We've known each other for the fifth year, Cui Shican, I'm just like this in your heart!?"

"Then why do you want to be a lobbyist for Lao Yu? That's how I am in your heart!" He returned that sentence to Wen Yu, desperate like a wounded beast, "You also think I'm hopeless, don't you?"

"I do not have!"

Shi Can panted violently: "You didn't, so why did you persuade him? What does it matter to you?"

As soon as these words came out, Wen Yu almost wanted to do something, he clenched his fists, and it took a lot of effort to hold back the impulse: "If you think you are hopeless, I won't even bother! Yes, it's none of my business! We have been friends for so many years, do you fucking think I look down on you? - Cui Shican, no one has ever looked down on you, and you are the only one who complains and doesn't want to look forward!"

Shi Can turned his head away.

With the chaotic footsteps and whispers on the school road, and the occasional glances in a hurry, Wen Yu had the illusion of being completely exposed, unable to hide, and some abnormal emotions were about to erupt.

He tried his best to restrain himself, almost pinching himself to bleed, staring at Shi Can with red eyes.

"If you think so," Shi Can didn't look at him, his gaze fell into the distant night, "I can't help it."

Wen Yu heard himself laugh, coldly, as if he was perfunctory to other people's meanness: "You can also say this to me, fine, do whatever you like, I won't care about you from now on, it's none of my business anyway! "

Shi Can's arm moved, without saying a word, he strode forward, leaving himself in place.

It was clear that he had choked the other party and there was no follow-up. It looked like he had won, but Wen Yu was extremely aggrieved.He looked at Shi Can's back, aggressively blended into the crowd after school, and quickly disappeared into the shadows.

There was pain in the fingers holding his schoolbag, and he yelled, "Don't beg me in your fucking life!"

The cold wind in the air was like thorns, but Wen Yu couldn't feel anything.Angrily, he bypassed the main school road, changed the school gate, and instead of taking the bus, he called a taxi and left.

Does he need to wrong himself?

People who are not on the same road in the first place, even if they are now, they will not always be in the future.

On an April night, the scenery outside the car window reversed rapidly, passing through the flowery business district in the city center, where street lights and neon lights were connected together, like colorful blocks of color occupying the entire field of vision, blurred a bit strangely.

Wen Yu blinked, raised his hand to wipe the corner of his eyes, and looked down to see that there were water marks all over.

While he was in a daze, his phone vibrated slightly, and his father sent a text message, saying that the infield ticket he wanted had already been contacted by someone.Wen Yu stared at the message until the phone screen went dark again, then he stubbornly turned it on, and after thinking about it, he still didn't delete it.

"Fuck." He cursed under his breath.

The anger gradually faded away, and when he was blown by the coolness of the night, reason regained the upper hand.Wen Yu pinched his nose, closed his eyes and leaned against the back seat, cursing a few dirty words, he was no longer so impulsive.

He flipped through the message, the concert was before their final exams, a long time before he could decide whether to continue or not.

Not in the same way.

He can't let go.

From the next day, anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were arguing.First, Cui Shican took the initiative to ask Lao Yu to change his seat, and then Wen Yu didn't say anything, just sitting on the seat all day long, buried in his books, and refused to participate in any gag activities.

During the big class break, Chen Qian took two bottles of Coke and sat down at the front table where Wen Yukong had come down, occupying the magpie's nest, and then began to ask around: "You and Shi Can haven't spoken for many days."

Wen Yu lowered his head to write the comprehensive essay paper, and his thoughts on solving the questions were faster than his words: "Yeah."

Chen Qian: "We don't go together after school."

Wen Yu: "Is there a problem?"

The attitude of non-violence and non-cooperation made it difficult for Chen Qian to chat with him. He raised his eyes and looked behind. Two big boys winked at him, so he had to bite the bullet and continue: "Even Qing Jia was alarmed, and came to ask if I knew I know what's going on with you and him—how do I know, we don't communicate when you are bright, okay?"

Wen Yu didn't stop writing with his pen tip: "Then there is no him now, what do you want to ask?"

Chen Qian: "What a quarrel...you two seem to be breaking up like this."

Wen Yu smiled: "No problem."

"I heard from Jing Xing that Lao Yu asked you to persuade people to study, you wouldn't really go, would you? Is it because of this?" Seeing him nodding, Chen Qian almost lost control of her voice, "Why... Lao Yu is sick, and you are also sick, too obedient or can't find other things to do? This thing is thankless, and I don't care about him—"

"I'm not you." Wen Yu said nonchalantly.

"Then," Chen Qian's Adam's apple twitched, "When do you plan to get back together with him?"

"Whatever." Wen Yu said.

Chen Qian was so choked by him that he couldn't speak for a long time, so he could only babble and say that I don't care about it, and put on a Coke to end this meaningless and fruitless chat, when Wen Yu suddenly called him: "Hey, Xiao Chen. "

Xiao Chen:?

Wen Yu: "Keep the Coke."

Chen Qian: "Fuck!"

The fuse sounded absurd, and no one thought it was a big deal. Seeing Wen Yu's attitude now, those who wanted to mediate had no way of doing it.

As Ji Yue said, although Wen Yu's temper is slow and he usually looks unprincipled, but once he gets stubborn, unless he figured it out himself, it's useless for others to say anything.

Obviously Wen Yu was not as easy to figure out as they imagined, and he was determined to let Cui Shican give in first.And the other one was even more indifferent, without Wen Yuer's reminder, he still didn't miss class, but spent more than half of every day dreaming about Duke Zhou, Lao Yu scolded him a few times to no avail, and even gave up a little bit.

Xu Qingjia said that these two people were annoying to death, and he didn't forget to bet when it would end.

Ji Yue pinched her fingers and calculated, it would not take more than a week.

At the beginning, everyone thought the quarrel between the teenagers was a farce, but in the end they persisted miraculously.

Maybe it's still too much time, and no one cares about wasting three or two months for a cold war.The bright flowers on the campus withered one by one, the sun became more and more blazing, the exams were frequent, and the test papers were flying all over the sky like snowflakes. Gradually, some people forgot the source of every awkwardness, but they remembered the results clearly.

The May Day holiday lasted only one day, and the school forced make-up classes on the grounds of poor mid-term exam results.Some students once clamored to report this horrific behavior to the Education Bureau, but they were brutally suppressed, or they were ungrateful, and nothing came of it.

Then there were exams and self-study. At first, the conflict was resolved intentionally, but when it failed, it disappeared one morning like a rumored report declaration.

Summer is coming, and the sweltering heat spreads in the classroom on the second floor, and the dull sound of the electric fan sets off the quietness of the room.

The final exam is imminent, and Lao Yu occasionally restores his voice like a steel cannon, but it has a greater deterrent effect than before.After the get out of class bell rang, no one had the energy to jump up and down. Cui Shican lay down on the table, took out his mobile phone from the belly of the table, and was about to start a game with a few people he knew, when the table suddenly "bang" .

He raised his head in a daze, and it was a mobile phone, which was thrown on the table.

On the screen was a QR code for an electronic ticket. He read it carefully, his heart skipped a beat, but he said indifferently, "What?"

"Go or not?" Wen Yu asked, giving him two options.

"...Go." Shi Can avoided his direct gaze.

As soon as he finished speaking, the mobile phone was taken away by Wen Yu, and as he walked away, Shi Can hurriedly raised his head, and Wen Yu sat back in his seat as if nothing had happened, and took out an exercise from the belly of the table.

It looked like he was lowering his head, Shi Can wiped his sleepy eyes with his palm, and walked over a few steps: "How much is the ticket...?"

Wen Yu only gave him a whirl: "Please."

He should have said thank you, but he felt stuck in his throat, so he had to stand by the side like a schoolboy, with his hands behind his back in an orderly manner.Shi Can saw that he had written beautiful consecutive strokes in English, and Wen Yu quickly arranged the compositions that he couldn't compose by himself into a neat three-stage style, and listed them on the paper in an orderly manner.

"That..." He thought for a while, grabbed the corner of his clothes behind, "I..."

"Block my light, let's talk about it after school." Wen Yu's pen tip picked up, if he ignored the trembling at the end of his sentence, maybe Shican really believed that he was still angry.

"Ah, good!" he said, "thank you!"

Wen Yu snorted, and although he didn't answer anything, his sides loosened a lot.

Shi Can couldn't understand how Wen Yu suddenly figured it out, he thought that this sudden quarrel would end as suddenly as the arrival of concert tickets, and he and Wen Yu would soon return to the previous track—— Maybe there is something different, it doesn't matter, they will find a way to solve it when they grow up.

He regarded this as Wen Yu's compromise to the failure of "persuading Cui Shican to improve every day".

But dead wrong.

"I'll go directly to get the tickets in the afternoon, see you outside the stadium."

After Wen Yu sent this WeChat message, he received an "ok" reply not long after. He closed his phone and looked into the kitchen. Auntie was busy, so she raised her voice and asked him, "Xiao Yu, would you like to have beef tenderloin for lunch? "

He responded with the same decibel: "Anything is fine!"

There is no extra tutoring at school on Saturdays, but Wen Yu has her own math tutoring class.He is good in all subjects, but mathematics is lagging behind, and he is about to be in the third year of high school. Without his father's request, Wen Yu went to find a training class outside the school by himself, signed up and set the time in one go, and didn't even tell Shi Can.

He keenly felt that the quarrel created a distance between the two of them, no one mentioned it, but it really existed.Wen Yu then made a little concession, he didn't like to be wronged, so he left room.

He said no matter what, so as not to provoke another cold war.

After sending the message to Shi Can, Wen Yu raised a little expectation for the concert tonight.He didn't pay much attention to the news in this area, this time the protagonist was Shi Can's favorite band, who made him perfect by accident.Turning the phone around, Wen Yu lay on the sofa with his head up, feeling his heart beating a little faster.

Is it so obvious, what are you thinking, he smiled and closed his eyes.

When Dad came home, he saw Wen Yu lying down and snapped his fingers: "Son, are you asleep?"

"No." Wen Yu didn't open his eyes, and spoke lazily, "Why did you go?"

"It's a little personal."

Wen Yu suddenly became alert: "What?"

"It's not a big deal, but it has something to do with you. We'll talk about it when we come back from the concert tonight." Dad's footsteps headed towards the kitchen, "The place is a bit out of the way, what time does it end, how about I pick you up? "

Wen Yu stretched his waist: "Whatever, it doesn't matter which driver you ask the company to come."

Dad smiled: "It's not good to trouble people casually on weekends, and you will be the same in the future. Don't think that you can order people around with your salary. Besides, the salary is not paid by one person."

Wen Yu dragged his voice: "Understood—"

At noon, my aunt made beef tenderloin, steamed sea bass and some vegetarian dishes, which he and Dad have been eating since Mom left.It is not difficult to hire a cooking aunt under the conditions of their family. The housekeeping keeps the house in order. After a long time, Wen Yu even has the illusion that his life has always been like this, without any difference.

Auntie was still washing the dishes, Wen Yu said hello to her father and went out to class.

The paper version of the ticket was not delivered to him by the uncle his father knew until after class.That person is one of the people in charge of this concert, and he still got the ticket at the front of the infield.Wen Yu thanked him, but the uncle wanted to send him to the stadium again, and he was too enthusiastic to refuse.

It turned out that there was still more than an hour before the concert when we arrived at the venue.

"I'm here, come early." Wen Yu sent a message to Shi Can. This time, the other party replied slowly, saying that he was going to buy something, and then came by car, with a long voice mixed with panting.

"It's okay, you just have to come before the opening." Wen Yu pressed the screen and found a bench under the shade of a tree nearby to sit.

After a few days of frequent rain at night in early summer, the weather has been good recently.At five or six o'clock, the sun was still shining brightly on the corner of the tall buildings in the west, the asphalt road was shining golden, and the white zebra crossing was almost invisible.

The cicadas hiding in the banyan tree let out a few high-pitched cries from time to time. The gymnasium in the distance was already surrounded by huge posters and many fans wearing fan club costumes. face excited.They gathered in twos and threes, sharing their expectations, happiness and yearning.

The opening was about to start soon, and other fans rushed into the gymnasium, and there was even the sound of debugging equipment.Wen Yu sat alone and played with his mobile phone, looking out of place with his surroundings.

Shi Can will not miss the appointment, he is not too anxious.

Wen Yu used this fragment of time to get to know the band that held the concert again. It was very famous and he had heard many songs. The atmosphere at each scene was explosive and there were also moments of warmth.

"...Take out your phone and call someone you like. I'll sing...for him." Wen Yu was reading the press release, and when he got here, he suddenly let out a low laugh, what a lovely idea.

The setting sun shone on his white basketball shoes, dyeing a small piece of golden light, and Wen Yu stretched his legs, feeling warm.

Call the person you like, and I will sing to him.

Call someone you like.

the person I like.

A dull drumbeat in the hall interrupted his thoughts, Wen Yu raised his head, and there were fewer people entering the venue around, and some scalpers were wandering around with tickets.He glanced at the time, there were still about ten minutes left, and the warm-up had already begun.

He just played with his mobile phone for a while, it passed so quickly, and Cui Shican hadn't come yet.

Wen Yu became impatient and dialed the number. The first call was not answered, but the second one was busy after a while.He almost collapsed, and everyone who passed by the entrance was running at a fast pace.

What about people? !

The phone suddenly rang, and Shi Can's name was displayed on the screen.

Wen Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly picked it up, asking angrily, "Where did you die?!"

"Ah, I..." Shi Can sounded very tired, he didn't say a word, Wen Yu suddenly caught a delicate female voice in the background, not far or near, but he heard it very clearly.

"Shi Can, my leg hurts, can you help me? I'm still waiting over there..."

He recognized this voice, Maizi from the school next door, and that school belle.

The sky was getting late, and the setting sun finally left a fiery red cloud at the end of the horizon. The sound of the guitar in the venue echoed the drumbeat, tearing the sky.Shan Hu screamed and applauded like a tsunami, Shi Can's breathing stopped for a moment, holding the phone, Wen Yu froze into a stone, cold from head to toe.

I was with girls, I had an appointment for a concert and an appointment time, but he didn't show up because of this, right?

Did you say you don't like her?we agreed?

"Xiao Yu, I..."

He raised his hand and cut off the phone.

When I stood up again, the opening song had already been heard in the arena. It was lively, passionate, arrogant, and sang a crazy world.

I really want to fly and escape this crazy world.

If you find me, don't take me back either.

Wen Yu listened intently for a while, then walked to the trash can not far away, and threw the ticket into it.

You should be able to see Xiaoyu's arrow, his arrow is quite obvious
