hold you in my arms tonight

On the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Uncle Zhang took Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun to the back mountain to visit the grave of former Dean Zhang.

The snow had not yet melted, and the road up the mountain was wet and slippery, with frozen grass on both sides.Uncle Zhang walked in front, telling the two interesting stories about their hometown when they were young.

After walking for half an hour, I finally saw the white solitary grave on the hillside.

Ms. Zhang Huaiying was gentle and kind throughout her life and helped many people.

Xie Yuan always remembered the way the old man wore Buddhist beads for himself, his eyes were full of tenderness and kindness.He had once been terrified of women, and the old man was the first to put his guard down.

The candles were lit, and the paper money was burned, and they didn't leave until it was all burned out and the candles were all burned out.

The next day, they returned to the orphanage.

Senior three students started school early and started classes in mid-February.

Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun returned to school to report.

The life of learning begins again.Jiang Xun actually likes this kind of feeling of being immersed in learning. Every day is very fulfilling, and he feels that life is hard work.What he really likes is actually the feeling of keeping pace with Xie Yuan.

Both of them are working hard for the future and moving towards a better place.

This semester, the original monthly exam has become a weekly exam, and the results of each exam will no longer be announced on the school grade rankings, but will be announced in class.

In the second month of school, all the learning content of the third year of high school is over.The next time, it is non-stop exams, making test papers, explaining test papers, making mistakes in the test booklet, checking for omissions and filling in vacancies.

Meng Yan now basically cries a little every day, and cries a lot every three days. Every day, she is red-eyed while memorizing poetry for the college entrance examination.

Gu Baiyang's studies were very stable, and in the third year of high school, his advantages had been fully demonstrated, his grades improved by leaps and bounds, and he has remained high ever since.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and people are particularly prone to sleepiness at this time. Many people lie down on their books and sleep directly after class, and they are often not very conscious when they are woken up.

In May, Jiang Xun was particularly prone to sleepiness. Sometimes when he sat upright, his eyelids started to fight.

"Jiang Xun!" Teacher Shi saw that he was about to fall asleep, and reminded him aloud, "Go to bed early at night, and don't stay up late to study."

Jiang Xun was still sleepy, and responded with force: "Got it."

Teacher Shi started class again, Jiang Xun asked Xie Yuan in a low voice: "Aren't you sleepy?"

Xie Yuan smiled: "I'm asleep too, who will take your notes?"

"Xie Yuan, you are so kind," Jiang Xun said.

Xie Yuan's handwriting has been practiced very well, and the notes he made for Jiang Xun are very neat, and the handwriting is flying and dancing. It is not Gu Baiyang's neat and orderly feeling, but has his own style. He writes vigorously and finishes gracefully.

Senior three students run twice as much as other grades. When everyone is most sleepy, they often have to go downstairs to run. The head teacher of each class leads the run, shouting slogans while running.

Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun were in a row. The two teenagers were wearing baggy school uniforms. When they were running, their faces were very red, and they circled round and round.

Looking back many years later, this is probably what youth looks like.

The college entrance examination oath began at the end of May. Thousands of high school seniors stood in the playground. After listening to the speeches of various leaders, they clenched their fists and shouted out their ambitions for the college entrance examination.

Standing in the queue that day, Xie Yuan said: "Jiang Xun, we want to leave here together. We want to go to the imperial capital together."

"Together, go to the imperial capital!"

"Together, go to the imperial capital!"

"Together, go to the imperial capital!"

The salute sounded from both sides of the rostrum. It lasted for a long time and was very loud, which inspired many people.

Jiang Xun said silently again in his heart: "We want to go to the imperial capital together."

When many people recall the summer of the college entrance examination, the feeling they feel the most is depression.I have reached a trough in my studies, and the weather is so hot that I feel irritable. Every day when I go to school and leave school, I see the students around me with indifferent expressions.

This summer, for Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun, the most is passion.They have been suppressed for too many years and have accumulated too much energy, and they all broke out this summer. A wave of courage to completely get rid of Lanlin Lane made them desperately want to seize the opportunity of the college entrance examination.

Soon the first mock exam was ushered in, and Xie Yuan was still number one in the grade.Then there is the second model and the third model, the fluctuation of the results is basically not very big.

There was a three-day vacation before the college entrance examination, and many people chose to go home. Luo Ping and Zhang Ze in the dormitory had already moved back home, and only Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun were left in the dormitory.

On the first night of the holiday, Xie Yuan took Jiang Xun for a night run, and met someone setting off fireworks beside the winding mountain road.

The fireworks were set off by a young couple. The boy lit a bunch of colorful fireworks for the girl, which made the girl happy and moved.There are many onlookers around, some watching the fireworks and some watching the excitement.

"It's quite romantic," Jiang Xun said.

Xie Yuan smiled casually. When he really laughed casually, the end of his eyes would subconsciously lift up, his jade was hard to hide, and his tone was casual: "From then on, on this day every year, I will set off fireworks for you."

"Really?" Jiang asked.

Xie Yuan said seriously: "Really."

"Are you sure?" Jiang Xun confirmed.

Xie Yuan raised his finger to assure, his eyes were gentle: "I'm sure. From now on, every June [-]rd, I will set off fireworks for you."

"Just talk about it," Jiang Xun said earnestly, "I'm a big boy, and watching it once is enough. Don't be so boring. Don't let it go, I don't want to be watched."

Xie Yuan regretted: "Really don't want it?"

Jiang Xun nodded seriously and said, "I really don't want it."

Xie Yuan no longer continued this topic.The relationship between boys is very pure, those external things, if you say you don't care, you really don't care, there is no so-called hard-talking and duplicity.

Xie Yuan took off the beads on his wrist and put them on Jiang Xun's hand. He said: "Grandma said that this beads are very spiritual. She gave it to me, and the gods will protect me. Now, I want to put him For you."

"Could it be... not very good?" Jiang Xun felt that it was Grandma Zhang who gave it to Xie Yuan after all.

Xie Yuan said: "I hope that my god will protect me."

He doesn't believe in Buddhism or gods. When he was in the abyss and almost desperate, Jiang Xun was his protector.

Then, Jiang Xun is his god.

"Jiang Xun, you are more important than the whole world." Xie Yuan said.

Jiang Xun stared at the Buddhist beads in his hand, and said in his heart that Xie Yuan is the only one in this world that he has.

In the last three days, both Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun stopped reading at all.

In June [-], the city's college entrance examination.

There are many people around the test center, and many candidates are sent by their families to take the test. Parents are more nervous than students.Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun were in the same test center, but not the same test room.

Seeing Gu Baiyang outside the school who was still reciting, he stopped to say hello: "Good morning, you two, come on!"

Xie Yuan nodded, but didn't make a sound.

Before entering the examination room, Xie Yuan said to Jiang Xun: "Don't be afraid, come on, just play steadily. We're going to the imperial capital together."

Jiang Xun nodded, making a promise.

The [-] college entrance examination met with very good weather, neither cold nor hot, the breeze was not dry, the sun was bright but not glaring, making people feel warm rather than hot.

On the night after finishing the last subject, the students in Class [-], Grade [-] organized a graduation party.

Everyone has a reasonable division of labor. The girls bought balloons and lanterns to decorate the classroom, and the boys were in charge of purchasing.Everyone surrounded the desks into a square, and the girls who were reluctant to part were hugging and crying together.

Meng Yan was pushed out to dance by the girls, and she was not a shy character, so she tiptoed and danced a short ballet seriously.

Gu Baiyang looked at it very seriously, and Jiang asked him: "I have graduated, why don't you confess to her?"

The girl had already retreated with her skirt in hand, chatting and laughing with a few girls around the other side.

Gu Baiyang didn't dare to let her see that he was looking at her, so he quickly withdrew his gaze, and said to Jiang Xun with unconcealed sadness in his voice: "Right now, I'm not good enough for her, I still need...to work harder."

"Is that okay?" Jiang Xun was a little worried for him.

"I can't stand in front of her with nothing," Gu Baiyang said, "She deserves the best of everything."

Jiang Xun refused to comment, after all, it was Gu Baiyang's own business.

At the end of everyone's play, the teachers of various subjects also came, and chatted with you a lot of interesting things in the past three years, and talked about those classmates who had made a fool of themselves.Even though it was still yesterday, recalling tonight feels a little far away.

At the end of the session, Teacher Shi said: "I wish you all a bright future."

The future is bright.

May everyone, the future life, be prosperous along the way.

This is an occasion for parting. For many people, this parting may last a lifetime.

Jiang Xun had a feeling in his heart, he took Xie Yuan's hand secretly under the table, and leaned into his ear like every day in the past three years, and whispered: "We want to be together forever."

Xie Yuan clenched those hands, perhaps because he was affected by other people's emotions, his eyes were a little watery, and he couldn't see clearly in the colorful light.

He said, "Okay."

Xie Yuan and Jiang Xun went back to the orphanage and had a very leisurely time, and then the results of the college entrance examination came out.

The National College Entrance Examination in [-] was a disaster for many people. It was more difficult than in previous years, the scores were severely distorted, and the overall scores were lowered.

This year, Xie Yuan's college entrance examination score was 697, and he was the number one student in science in Liucheng's college entrance examination.

This year, Jiang Xun's college entrance examination score was 612, which exceeded the admission score of Imperial Normal College.

They can finally go to the imperial capital together.

A few days later, a banner with Xie Yuan's name was put up in front of the school gate of the No. 12 Middle School. On the red list on the bulletin board, the word Xie Yuan was also capitalized in red and bold at the top.Perhaps no one could have imagined that the child who stepped into the campus for the first time at the age of [-] eventually became the pride of the entire school.

Uncle Zhang followed the trend, and after visiting the leaders in the city several times to condolences, he directly put up a banner on the gate of the Angel Orphanage.Because the Angel Orphanage had a science champion, the city also decided to increase financial support for the Angel Orphanage.

Jiang Xun saw that the scene was extremely exaggerated, and laughed and teased Xie Yuan: "What should I do, Xie Zhuangyuan, I'm a little jealous."

Xie Yuan smiled and said: "Don't be jealous, this is your child bride-in-law, you are honored."

"So good?" Jiang asked.

Xie Yuan said, "I will give you half of all my glory."

"Xie Zhuangyuan is so kind," Jiang Xun sighed, "I must have done a lot of good things in my previous life to meet Xie Zhuangyuan in this life."

"Then you have to do a lot of good things in your life."

"why?"

"Because in the next life, I will meet Xie Yuan again."

"it is good."
