ninety-nine twelve

Chapter 48By Zhang Tianle

I went back to Hong Kong in early August, and I probably won't be going back anytime soon.

A stage is over and it's time for me to go home.

Life always goes round and round. At the beginning, I packed my luggage and went back to Hong Kong for my third year of high school. Now that my third year of high school is over, I packed my luggage and returned to Hong Kong.This is not a journey worthy of sadness, and it is not a journey that will never come back. Coming and going is just a matter of passing a pass. I am too used to this kind of back and forth, but this trip is more reluctant.

Not only because of Wu Haoyu.The things I have experienced in this year seem to be fuller than what I have experienced in the previous 17 years. From the beginning when I was reluctant but had to go back, to the end when I was reluctant but had to leave, the circle of this year has returned to the starting point. Participated in the school sports meeting, signed up for the track and field competition, broke up with my ex-girlfriend, took the DSE test, celebrated my birthday, watched this year's mainland college entrance examination, participated in the class's graduation trip, handed in the school application, and now I am with most of the students. Students are waiting to go to college.

I made a lot of new friends, and Wu Haoyu is the soul of all these things.When I think of him, I always subconsciously think that he is a passive person because of his character, but when I think about it carefully, in the intersection between me and him, I was never the active person. When I got into trouble, he was the one who came to rescue me. , when I was alone, he came to talk to me, he helped me to review the key points for the exam, he encouraged me to go to the competition, he accompanied me in training, he rescued me when I was broken up, confessed It’s him, it’s him who’s waiting for me, it’s him who always believes in me, it’s him who wants to protect me in the game, he sings for my birthday, he goes to college with me, he climbs snow-capped mountains with me, he takes me home .

Wu Haoyu never needs to contact me all the time, he doesn't act coquettishly and asks for a date or company, he doesn't lose his temper or make trouble, and he likes me on the premise of taking good care of himself.I never thought that love can be like this before, he is so different from the people I have been with in the past, gentle and tough, not because of gender difference, he just took the initiative to come to my side, and then just like that Just wait, I will feel at ease.

I feel like I sang in the song, it must have taken all my luck to meet him again in such a small chance.Know how I recognized him in the crowd on the playground on the first day of school?Of course, you have to be more realistic. For example, I already know which ranks the class team is in, and the tallest men must be ranked behind. I recognized him, he didn't have any characteristics, and he didn't look the same as when he was a child, but it was him, and I was sure at a glance that it was Wu Haoyu, without any basis.

After that, it was probably the most active period of my life, but it was just because of boredom.

Run away after flirting, causing him to like me for so long first.

I often put things in a mess and then I can't find them. This time when I packed my luggage, I found an "unexpected harvest".In the preliminary round, I was depressed for two days because someone snatched me away, and I didn't run well. I went back and told Wu Haoyu that he taught me through the video and sorted out the logic of a page. Fortunately, I discovered it. Fortunately, I Decisively rushed to him overnight, otherwise this piece of paper would not even have a whole body.

Unlike many people, I can't tell what I like when I like someone. I know what I like about Wu Haoyu. I like that he can listen to me.

Sounds weird, right?But I really feel that there are too few people who can listen to people now. Everyone has their own affairs to be busy, and they want to talk more than listen. For example, no one listens to me.Although I don't really need to be enlightened or comforted most of the time, I just want to scold or complain, but Wu Haoyu is different, it seems that as long as I speak, no matter what I say, nonsense, nonsense, nonsense, nonsense, nonsense, nonsense, nonsense, nonsense, nonsense, nonsense, nonsense, nonsense, nonsense, nonsense, nonsense, nonsense Listen, he understands all the hypocrisy and moaning.

Wu Haoyu was either a cave or a conch in his previous life. When I talked to him, he heard it and there was an echo.

There are other things, he knows what I like, I dare say he will never like running now, he doesn't even bother to move, but he respects me very much, he doesn't like it, but it doesn't prevent him from accompanying me to like it .I also like that he is not clingy, I am afraid that the other party will be clingy to me all the time, but Wu Haoyu is not clingy to me, he is so not clingy to me that I still have to cling to him.I like that he sings well, I like that he broke up with his ex, and I like that he is obedient in a different way.

See, it's all such small and specific things that I can tell.If I were a mental patient, Wu Haoyu would be the sponge room for the mental patients to live in, and nowhere would touch me.

It’s superficial, isn’t it? I can only see his goodness on the surface, and I don’t think his goodness is not enough. As long as he is good, he has long been the most precious in the world.

I love him so much.

Under the banner of going home, in fact, I mainly want to go to Macau often.

I received a reply from the Macau Athletic Federation Council, and then a series of interviews and assessments are required, including physical examinations, illicit drug use history tests, personality tests, ability and potential assessments, etc.The only problem is that I am a Hong Kong resident, but I want to join the Athletic Federation of Macau. They asked them layer by layer, and finally confirmed that it is not impossible. I have also dealt with similar precedents, but there are many procedures. It will be complicated and take a while.

As a result, I had to go to Macau from time to time, and my dad seemed to have noticed that I was starting to make up my mind again. He asked me directly several times, but I hesitated and said nothing clearly.He promised him not to mention any word about running and competitions, but now he backtracks and wants to join other people's track and field organizations. He is probably going crazy.

But I think he actually knows what I'm doing, but he didn't intervene this time, as if he was fulfilling the angry words he said countless times when he was a child-when I go to college, I run as I like, and he doesn't care about me anymore.

My dad’s day-to-day instructions in my ears turned into telling me not to keep my eye on Macau, and instead of going to a good school in Hong Kong, I would like to squeeze into that small place of Macau to do something.I can't listen to anything. Macau is a small place, but Hong Kong is not that big. Besides, what do I compare with others in those good schools? Is it better than studying? I'm not a material for studying. I didn't enter the university through a serious way, and I was even more ashamed than the last school that was worse.

I will be what I get in the exam, and I will go to the university I should go to.

I also tried to apply to the University of Macau in a whimsical way, because the scores were not up to standard and I couldn't even submit the application.In the end, the Macau University of Science and Technology kindly accepted me, and the major they gave was their gold medal in hotel management. It turned out that Wu Haoyu was in Fengwei, and I was in Jitou. Adding me counts as half, but they all studied liberal arts majors.On the day Wu Haoyu received the paper admission notice, he sent a series of emoticons vomiting blood, saying that he didn't know the meaning of studying science so painfully.

I stayed in Hong Kong for more than ten days, and went to Macau three or four times, and finally packed my luggage and prepared to "move" to Macau.This time there is no sadness at all. The university has opened the registration of new students one after another after August 8th. It is the first time that I am so impatient to start school.

I arrived in Macau eight days earlier than Wu Haoyu. My dad sent me here for no reason this time. It’s an hour’s journey by boat. Macau, where you can’t get out with your eyes closed, he just carried the luggage with me, but my luggage Not much, the first time I moved, it was just one box and one bag. Not only did I not need his help, but I could also carry something by myself.

My dad left after seeing that I was settled, and then my mom came to see me for two days and brought me a lot of food that could be kept in the dormitory.

Wu Haoyu's parents are not in a hurry at all, saying that there is no need to rush to register during the peak period when all the students are going to register. In the end, as long as they can register, it will be over. He himself is not in a hurry, but I am the only one who is in a hurry.

He said that he wanted to bring the guitar back to Macau. After four years of university, it's time for an idiot to learn it.

I remember when I was celebrating my birthday, at first I refrained from saying anything, then I asked him in his ear if he pretended not to be able to play the piano but he actually knew how to play the piano. I will not ask.In fact, he has explained many times that he just knows how to play that song, and he removed all the difficult chords when he learned it. It's full of bugs, and many sounds that should be played are muffled.

I think it's a pity, if only he was interested in learning music, it would be a pity not to sing with such a nice voice.

Wu Haoyu knew what I was thinking, so he brought the guitar. He talked about it and said that it would be silly to carry a notebook with a guitar and a bag, but he didn't say why he brought the guitar.

so cute.

One thing that drove me crazy was that I lived in a four-person dormitory, and Wu Haoyu said he was too, but he didn't tell me that it was a double room in a four-person suite.He only told me when he moved in. He sent several question marks, as if he didn’t know beforehand. I don’t believe he didn’t know. It stands to reason that he should know where his roommates are studying and where they come from. How to divide the bed and how to live in the dormitory, still don't know?

He sent me a photo. It looks like a hotel standard room, but it is just a long space with a window at the top and two single beds against the wall at the bottom. I was about to suffocate when I saw it.

I asked him to secretly take another photo of his roommate to show me. He said it’s okay, but after a while he still sent a selfie with a grimace. In the background, if there is no accident, he will spend four years together day and night. My roommate is actually an ordinary person, but I'm still about to suffocate again.

His roommate is a native of Macau. Wu Haoyu said that it was difficult for him to speak Mandarin, and the atmosphere in the room was quite awkward. In the other room, one was from Macau and the other was from Malaysia. The three of them could communicate in Cantonese without any barriers. It was embarrassing because the native language of the Malaysian classmate was Mandarin Chinese, but unfortunately we were not in the same room.

I began to feel anxious like never before, worrying that he would be isolated because of his language, just like when I first went to Hong Kong, but I was young at that time, and it was easy to learn a language. I have to learn to listen to Cantonese. If I knew it earlier, I should have taught him how to let him come out and be bullied.Then I continued to worry about their suite dormitory. The only thing missing is the kitchen. Is it going to die like a family? What do good universities think? There is no problem with a set of beds, but the structure of their dormitory is too cozy. Wu Haoyu is so kind to people and lives so warmly. What if his roommate likes him? It is too dangerous to live in one room under the same roof every day. Too dangerous.

Wu Haoyu quickly broke my first anxiety.He was the last one to go to their dormitory, and his uncles and aunts went with him. He brought a lot of food for his roommates. His three roommates were also very enthusiastic. If they couldn't speak Mandarin well, they insisted on speaking with English. Seeing them settle down After getting well, I took the initiative to take them to the campus for a stroll, and I happened to have dinner in the dormitory cafeteria at night, and tasted the food in the cafeteria.

Wu Haoyu sent me a selfie photo of the four of them plus his parents. Everyone stood in a row, the family stood at the end, and the four people in the front were already shoulder-to-shoulder.I wanted to cry without tears. I was able to hook shoulders with Wu Haoyu at the time, and it took me at least a month. It was only a day, oh no, half a day, Wu Haoyu hooked shoulders with someone else.

He left on the weekend, and his uncle and aunt would not delay work if they came to see him off. They stayed for one night and went back the next day just to have fun.

It's not convenient for him to make a phone call when he returns to the dormitory at night, so I can only type and send messages to him. I told him to protect myself and don't let others think about it.

Wu Haoyu replied to me in voice, and the long line lasted almost 60 seconds: "Do you know what you look like now? Have you ever seen that kind of person, just feel that your partner will be spotted by others when walking on the street, Holding each other desperately and relying on the oath of sovereignty, it turned out that the object looked like a monkey, and you look like this kind of person now. People say that true love is two ugly monsters who worry about each other being taken away by others. I think we are true love. , Oh, no, you are not ugly, you see I don’t worry about you, you still worry about me, worry about yourself, there is a crisis here, no one likes me, who can like me.”

The next day, Wu Haoyu played around with his parents in Macau. He said that his uncle asked me halfway, asking if I was here. If I had time, I would meet and have a meal together. Two high school classmates can go to school in the same city. It's fate, and the parents are more at ease. Anyway, Wu Haoyu lied and didn't take a draft. He opened his mouth and said that I haven't arrived yet. The day when the official start of school is already close at hand. The ones who are later than him are at most some local students, like us. Those who come from outside must have arrived early. Fortunately, my uncle didn't go into it, and just told him to remember to keep in touch with me.

Wu Haoyu said that usually these instructions must be given by his mother, but now she doesn't say it, so his father has to say it.But only Wu Haoyu and his aunt know the mystery behind this. When the uncle said that he was eating, the aunt didn’t pick up on it. face, which made my uncle baffled.

In fact, I was a little uncomfortable. My aunt was nice to me in the past, but it didn’t mean that she was not good. When I went to their house, my aunt treated me the same as before, but she just felt unfamiliar and unfamiliar.They had dinner with Wu Haoyu's new roommates yesterday, and happily took pictures together. I was treated like this before, but since that incident, my aunt never asked me to eat at their house up.

Sure enough, the advice my aunt gave Wu Haoyu before leaving was to ask him to make more new friends.

When I was sighing, Wu Haoyu sent me another message: My mother told me to go back and bring you some food and brought you a set of knee pads for you to use when you run. University gift .

I asked Wu Haoyu to meet him in front of the Ruins of St. Paul’s. I was afraid that he would not be able to find his way because he was not familiar with the place. It would be right to meet him under a landmark building. However, he sent a speechless expression, saying that he could find him now with his eyes closed. On the way back to the dormitory.

Macau is really too small, and you can finish shopping in two or three steps. Although I have been in Hong Kong for a long time, I am familiar with Macau.In the past, the activities organized by the school and the outings agreed by friends, I actually had many opportunities to come to Macau. The city is very small, but all the memories related to Macau are very good.

As night falls in the city, the sky in the direction of the setting sun is still golden yellow, but the top of the head is already gray and blue.All the street lights have been turned on, I told Wu Haoyu not to go up the steps, and wait in the small square below.

There are a lot of people watching the sunset, and they are taking pictures everywhere. I hide from other people's cameras and search for people I can't see.

Wu Haoyu wore a gray shirt with his mouth open, and the inside was a white one. His lower body turned out to be the school uniform shorts from high school, and then a pair of precious sneakers that he hadn’t seen much. He didn’t bring anything on him. He looked up towards the archway Look, he is holding the phone in his hand, and he doesn't take pictures, he just looks at it, and he doesn't know what he's looking at.He may have been bitten by a mosquito, and he raised his arm and kept scratching his elbow.

I approached him quietly, and hooked his neck from behind——

"Dear Mr. Wu, welcome to Macau. Starting today, I will be fully responsible for your Cantonese teaching. I will serve you [-] hours a day. The content includes but is not limited to returning to school, accompanying you, talking, and translating. , meals, entertainment, dating, and room service, if you have any questions, please contact your boyfriend immediately..."

The author has something to say: it's over
