hold you in my arms tonight

Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun went to the cafeteria to have a meal and then returned to the dormitory. As soon as they opened the door, they heard Luo Ping's voice.

"Okay, you two, now it's spread all over the school!"

Luo Ping stepped forward and continued, "Do you know how to pass it on? Those girls are crazy. They said that Xie Yuan is not only good at studying, but also very good at fighting!"

"Let's go," Xie Yuan felt a little headache when he thought of the [-]-word review, and he didn't want to talk nonsense with Luo Ping at all.

"I heard that there was a hostess who didn't show up in the backstage, the class girl in Class [-], after seeing our brother Yuan's majestic appearance the whole time, she has already told the little sisters that she will not marry you in this life," Zhang Ze said, "Come on, Brother Yuan, tell me what you plan to do in return for your sister's kindness?"

Luo Ping was puzzled: "Why are the preferences of contemporary girls like this? Xie Yuan was still able to control himself when he was the first, but why can't he control it after a fight?"

"Men are not bad and women don't love," Zhang Ze summed it up in one word.

Xie Yuan was too lazy to continue talking with them, he put Jiang Xun's changed clothes in the basin, and planned to go out to do the laundry.

"Yo, you child bride is doing a good job!" Luo Ping teased him, holding his own socks and asked him, "Why don't you wash mine too?"

"Get out," Xie Yuan walked quickly with the basin in hand.

Jiang Xun seldom jokes with boys, he doesn't seem to have the talent to get along with others.After Xie Yuan went out, he quietly took out the letterhead and pen from his schoolbag, and honestly wrote two self-criticisms with a total of [-] words.

"Jiang Xun," Zhang Ze called him, "I almost suspect that you are Xie Yuan's illegitimate son."

Jiang Xun looked at him and asked, "Have you ever seen a 16-year-old boy have a 16-year-old illegitimate child?"

"Not cute at all," Zhang Ze complained, seeing Jiang Xun writing something with his head down, and asked, "What are you writing?"

Jiang Xun paused, and replied: "Today Xie Yuan beat someone very handsomely, and now I am writing a review for him."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you guys are awesome!" Luo Ping gave a thumbs up.

Xie Yuan used to be a famous figure in No. [-] Middle School, and since then he has been known to everyone.The first-year self-criticism was posted on the wall of the Academic Affairs Office for people to look up to.

Teacher Shi once went to the Academic Affairs Office to hand in the lesson plans. When he passed by, he looked at it carefully for a while, and thought for a long time before he realized that the handwriting seemed to be from another person.She held her forehead and left as if nothing had happened.

After Xie Yuan became famous in No. [-] Middle School, he received several love letters, but the real thing that someone stood in front of him to confess his love happened at the end of the second semester of the second year of high school.

At that time, just after the exam, many people were packing their things and preparing to leave school, and the school was full of students in a hurry.

The temperature in Liucheng reached the high temperature warning several degrees, the ground was scorching hot, Luo Ping and Zhang Ze had already left school, and only Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun were left in the dormitory.

Jiang Xun wanted to eat ice cream, Xie Yuan went out to buy it, and as soon as he got off the boys' dormitory, he saw several girls standing under the poplar tree opposite the dormitory, as if they were waiting for him.

"Jinjin, come on!"

Several girls pushed the girl named Jin Jin in front of Xie Yuan, and then stepped back to watch expectantly.

Jinjin didn't dare to look up at him.

The first time she saw this boy was during the military training, and the boy spoke on behalf of the freshmen. At that time, she thought he was both good-looking and outstanding.Her real heart was in the backstage of the chorus competition. She was the host, and she saw two classes fighting during the backstage break. At that time, he was full of hostility and indifference, but people could not ignore it.

After silently liking for a long time, she finally felt like standing in front of him.

"Hello, Xie Yuan, my name is Jin Jin," Jin Jin's voice trembled, with the shyness and expectation of a girl, "I work downstairs from you, you may... have no impression, I like you, you don't have to There is a burden, can we be friends?"

Standing in the shadow, Xie Yuan looked at the girl who was about to say something and said calmly, "Hello, we can be friends, but we can only be friends."

"You..." Jinjin was a little hurt.

Xie Yuan said frankly, "I already like someone."

Jin Jin felt sad but did not give up: "Do you like it very much?"

"I like it very much, I have liked it for many years." Thinking of that person, Xie Yuan said with a gentle look in his eyes, "I will continue to like it, like it for a lifetime, until death."

Jin Jin's voice was very small: "So... I like it..."

After saying the last word, tears came out of the girl's eyes, and she took her little sister and ran away in small steps.

Xie Yuan stood still and watched them run away before starting again. The goal was the canteen next to the school cafeteria.He bought ice cream, worried that the ice cream would melt, he strode up and ran all the way back to the dormitory.

"Why so long?" Jiang Xun was very happy to take the ice cream, and asked casually.

Xie Yuan told the truth: "When I went downstairs, I met a girl who confessed to me, so I was delayed for a while."

The ice cream in Jiang Xun's hand suddenly became less sweet, so he stopped and asked him, "What do you say?"

He added: "We have agreed, no puppy love!"

Xie Yuan couldn't help laughing, sat next to him, and explained seriously: "I said, I can't fall in love early, Jiang Xun disagrees."

Jiang Xun continued to eat ice cream, and said vaguely: "It's good that you know, puppy love is not good, it will affect your study!"

"Then after I go to college, can I fall in love?"

"Neither!"

"why?"

Jiang Xun also thought about why, and he broke up: "Have you heard before that there was a nurse who cut her boyfriend more than a dozen times and sentenced him to minor injuries! When you study medicine in the future, you will be surrounded by medical students, are you afraid?"

Xie Yuan echoed, nodded and said: "Yes, yes, yes, then I will definitely not be able to find him in a medical university in the future! Do you think it would be good to find someone from a teacher's college? Is it particularly suitable for me to be a doctor and him to be a teacher?"

Jiang Xun's face was extremely hot, and the ice cream in his hand was no longer cold.

"Are you okay?" Xie Yuan was still asking.

Jiang Xun didn't have the guts to look up, he lowered his head to bite the ice cream, and said in a muffled voice, "Okay."

"Really?" Xie Yuan teased him.

"Really," Jiang Xun said.

During the summer vacation, Xie Yuan, Jiang Xun and Uncle Zhang went to their hometown in the countryside.

Uncle Zhang's hometown is not far from Liucheng, which is considered to be the junction of Liucheng and F City, across a section of train tracks, and the roar of trains can often be heard.There are stretches of rice fields there, which are growing lush in July and August.

Uncle Zhang went back to tidy up the old house, which was the former home of the former Dean Zhang, and now there is no one to take care of it these years.Uncle Zhang originally intended to bring two older children who would not run around to play, and it happened that Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun were on summer vacation.

All three of them are temporarily staying with relatives next door.It was Uncle Zhang's cousin's house. Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun sweetly called Uncle Zhang Wu, and everyone liked them very much.

Uncle Zhang Wu's family has a son who is about the same age as Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun, who will soon be a senior in high school, and his name is Zhang Yuan from Minyu Middle School.

Zhang Yuan and Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun were familiar with playing, so they took them to play everywhere, climbing mountains and trees to dig out bird eggs, and the three teenagers took some children in the village to play wildly for several days.

There was a rain in mid-July, and the three boys went to catch crabs in the river after the rain.Because it was somewhat dangerous, they didn't call other children.

"You two are so nice, I really want to have a brother." Zhang Yuan watched Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun pull each other across the river, and sighed, "Why am I the only child?"

"You can only envy," Xie Yuan said with a smile.

The creek is actually very shallow, and it was a bit muddy after the rain, but crabs can still be seen after removing the stones.

Jiang Xun got a mineral water bottle to hold that kind of very small crab, and he wanted to bring it back to the Angel Orphanage for the children to play with.

While sitting and chatting by the river, Zhang Yuan suddenly said, "When are you two birthdays? Mine is July [-]st, and I just turned eighteen a while ago. How about you two?"

Jiang Xun said, "Forgot."

Zhang Yuan was surprised: "Forgot?"

Jiang Xun explained: "I really forgot, I seem to have come to Liucheng from Chong'an when I was eight years old, and Xie Yuan also seems to have come to Liucheng from the imperial capital at the age of eight. forgot."

Zhang Yuan suddenly remembered that Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun came with Uncle Zhang. He knew that Uncle Zhang had an orphanage. He didn't realize it just now, but now he dislikes his stupidity.

"I'm sorry," Zhang Yuan said, "Why should I mention this?"

"It's okay," Jiang Xun smiled, "It's all over."

"Then I should still be a little older than you," Zhang Yuan said with a smile, "I'm already an adult!"

The three of them chatted for a while and then went back, and another day after dinner, they have been here for more than half a month.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to go back to the Angel Orphanage. Zhang Yuan and a group of children were very reluctant to part with Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun, and said goodbye one by one around Uncle Zhang's car.

Uncle Zhang said with a smile: "These two children are cute wherever they go."

Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun said goodbye to everyone, but there is always a banquet in the world, so they went back.

When Jiang Xun's little crab returned to the orphanage, the children scrambled to play with it, and after being tortured for a few days, they died completely.

On the eve of the start of the third year of high school, something happened in the Angel Orphanage—the girl named Su Qing eloped with someone else before the start of the third year of high school.

When Uncle Zhang found out that the person was missing, his first reaction was to be scared to death. He was afraid that it might be abduction or kidnapping, and when he was about to call the police, he found Su Qing's letter under her pillow.

The letter clearly stated that she fell in love with a boy in the vocational high school. The boy said he could give her happiness. She felt that her grades were not good anyway, so she left with him.

Uncle Zhang was so angry that he held his heart and hurt, and was speechless for a long time.

After Jiang Xun and Xie Yuan comforted Uncle Zhang, the two sat on the roof of the orphanage and chatted.

The stars are bright and the night sky is clean.

Jiang asked: "Do you think she will be happy?"

"do not know."

"Will she regret it?"

"do not know."

Jiang Xun suddenly fell silent for a long time, and then asked: "Will we be happy?"

"Yes," Xie Yuan affirmed.

"Do you regret it?"

"never."

"why?"

"Because you are Jiang Xun."

Xie Yuan looked at Jiang Xun, and said it as if narrating a fact: "Because, you are Jiang Xun. And I will never regret anything I do for Jiang Xun."

Jiang Xun smiled and said, "I also, never, will regret it."

The night wind seemed to warm up.
