Time passed quickly after that.

After Lin Zhexia learned that Bai Qin was discharged from the hospital, Chi Hanshan found an old friend to help, and gave a low price to another manufacturer for the new production line that had not been able to operate well before. All the money was folded in, but fortunately, no real damage was done.

The two decided to start from scratch.

It's just that in this plan, there is no longer only work.

The two of them plan to slow down and get back the life they left behind.

It is also very strange to say that after experiencing a "loss", on the contrary "gained" a lot.

After Chi Yao didn't need to worry too much about the family affairs, the school entered the closed school training period before the college entrance examination. In order to prevent students from bringing mobile phones, schools in Beijing even have a set of special signal shielding devices.

So the chat records of the two stayed in the two months before the exam.

After Chi Yao and her finished talking about these things, Lin Zhexia replied "Got it, let's work hard for the college entrance examination".

The college entrance examination is in June.

Before the exam, Lin Zexia's grades remained stable and did not continue to rise.

She also knows that it is really difficult to improve her score. It is impossible for her to get into the top ten of the school in more than a year.

The top ten group of people has widened a huge gap with the people behind since the first year of high school.

Xu Ting is a typical example.

Good brains, quick learners.

Of course, in the eyes of this group of people before, there was also an existence to look up to—that Chi Yao who left the first middle school and came to the second middle school to blow their self-confidence.

Lin He sensed her depression, and said during the meal: "It's okay Xia Xia, your grades are already very good. Mom never dreamed that you could still pick a good school. To be honest, from the time you entered school From the beginning of the day, Mom was mentally prepared that you might fail the college entrance examination."

Lin Zhexia: "..."

If you fail the ranking, that's not the case.

"But I want to go to Beijing University." Lin Zhexia poked the rice in the bowl, thinking that the school with the best physics major is in Beijing, "My current grades are more than ten points away from the minimum score line of Beijing University. "

Wei Ping just went to school a while ago, and held a parent-teacher meeting for her, saying: "Lianyun University is also good. I went to the parent-teacher meeting that day, and your teacher talked to me. I suggest you apply for Lianyun University. The school is pretty good, and Your current score is more stable if you apply for Lian University. The risk of applying for Beijing University is too great, and it will easily affect your performance in the college entrance examination."

Because if she doesn't perform exceptionally well in the college entrance examination, there is a 100% chance that she won't pass the exam.

No one can bear this kind of psychological pressure.

"Lianyun University is also famous for its majors, and some majors are better than Beijing University," Wei Ping comforted her, "Besides, we feel more at ease when you are in Lianyun University. Beijing is so far away, and you will inevitably feel uncomfortable when you go there alone. "

Lin Zhexia: "But..."

After she said "but," the rest of the words stuck in her throat.

But Chi Yao was in Beijing, and the school that Chi Yao would report to was also there.

At that moment, she felt powerless.

She has worked very hard this year, but there is still an insurmountable gap between leaving Beijing University.

The distance between her and Beijing University is like the distance between her and Chi Yao.

She can't catch up.

Before filling out the application form, Chi Yao made a video call to her.

Lin Zhexia didn't know what to think, so she clicked to hang up.

It may be that I haven't seen each other for too long. Compared with the miss, seeing each other through video seems to be more confusing.

After she hung up, she typed: I'm outside now, it's not convenient to take the video.

Then she made a voice call.

"Is your school on holiday?" Lin Zhexia held the mobile phone, cleared her throat, and said into the receiver, "Isn't it normal to collect the mobile phone?"

Chi Yao's voice came through the earpiece clearly: "I didn't play it."

Lin Zhexia: "...Then why did you call me? Did you go to the dean's office to steal the phone?"

On the other side of the phone, she followed her and said, "Well, I picked the lock in the middle of the night."

Lin Zhexia: "..."

After a while, Chi Yao said, "I'm asking for leave."

Lin Zhexia: "Oh."

After a brief silence, Chi Yao asked, "When will you fill out your application?"

Lin Zhexia: "Next week."

"Which school are you going to fill in?"

"..."

Lin Zhexia didn't answer immediately.

Facing the phone, the idea of ​​being stopped by Lin He and Wei Pingqiqi at the dinner table came to her again. She tentatively caught that crazy and unrealistic thought again, and tightened her hand holding the phone: "You What do you think... how about I apply for Peking University?"

Afraid that Chi Yao would think too much, she added, "I'm just tired of staying in Lianyun, and I want to get out of Lin He's clutches. Moreover, Tang Shuxuan and the others plan to apply to schools in Beijing."

After speaking, she stopped.

Anxiously waiting for Chi Yao's answer.

It seemed that as long as he gave an order, she could do the most adventurous thing that was not allowed by everyone.

However, after a brief silence, the young man's cold and weary voice sounded: "Repay the ripples."

Lin Zhexia's heart sank.

"Your score, it's better to report it to Lian Da."

Even Chi Yao said so.

In fact, she knew it herself.

She can only repay Lian Da.

All her expectations fell through, and the moment she hung up the phone, she completely admitted a cruel reality: She and Chi Yao were about to start a life that had nothing to do with each other.

There will be no more intersections in the future.

They will each go to university, and the university will pull them farther and farther in the past few years, so that they may reconstitute each other in a new growth stage, and after a few years, the relationship between this new "self" and the other party will be different. Correlation will become less and less.

After two straight lines cross from a certain point, they will only get farther and farther away, and it will be difficult to find the next focal point.

On the day of filling in the application form, each class was assigned to the computer room to operate with computers.

Lin Zhexia sat in front of the computer, the mouse in her hand was heavy.

For half a second, she dragged the mouse to stay on "Beijing University" for a while.

After filling out the application form and coming out of the computer room, she did not return to class.

Chen Lin and Tang Shuxuan found out that she was not there, so they came out to look for her.

When the two found her, they found her huddled alone at the corner of the stairs.

"What's wrong?" Chen Lin and Tang Shuxuan walked up to her and squatted down. They didn't know what was going on at first, but after squatting down, they found that Lin Zhexia's shoulders were shaking. If you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't have heard her even There was a soft whimper.

Lin Zhexia buried her face in her knees, speaking in a broken voice: "I...I'm just a little sad."

Chi Yao has been gone for more than a year.

For more than a year, she has never cried.

She smiles every day, continues to live a good life, and studies hard, as if Chi Yao's departure is not something she can't bear.

more than a year.

It was the first time she didn't tense up.

"I can't get into Beijing University," Lin Zhexia was trembling, "I'm still ten points short."

"Everyone calls me Baolianda."

"But...but..."

When she said this, she choked up and couldn't continue.

But Lian Da was really too far away from him.

Chen Lin and Tang Shuxuan understood what she hadn't finished speaking.

Chen Lin asked, "Will Chi Yao apply to Beijing University?"

Lin Zhexia lowered her head and did not speak.

Chen Lin comforted helplessly: "It's okay...you can still..."

When Chen Lin said this, she couldn't continue her words of comfort.

Because she thought that Chi Yao had been gone for a year, and the phrase "we can still meet" seemed extremely pale at this moment.

And they also have to part ways, she, Lin Zhexia, Tang Shuxuan, if the three of them are admitted to different schools, she can't guarantee whether "you can still see each other often".

After Lin Zhexia finished crying, it was as if nothing had happened.

She seemed to express all her emotions through that one time.

She finally filled in Lianda.

After the college entrance examination ended, Lin Zhexia came out of the examination room. The sun was shining brightly that day, and the cicadas were singing again. It was another very lively summer.

Everyone was busy celebrating their escape from the sea of ​​suffering, and some people were feeling sad because of the parting from their classmates while they were happy.

Lin Zhexia thought that after the age of eighteen, she can no longer dream as she pleases.

She needs to think more about things, she needs to think about Lin He and Wei Ping, if they apply to Beijing University, they will be worried. If she applies to Beijing University, she is almost doomed to repeat her studies for another year, and Lin He will work hard for her for another year if she repeats her studies.

She also began to accept the world where Chi Yao would no longer exist after the age of eighteen.

She came out of the examination room and reported to Chi Yao: I think I did well in the exam, and there shouldn't be any problems. How did you do in the exam?

Chi Yao replied to her in the evening.

Chi: ok

Chi: It shouldn’t be a big problem to get into the top ranks in the city

Lin Zhexia replied: Remind you again, pretend to be struck by lightning.

On the day of graduation, all the teachers took turns to give speeches: "Congratulations—you have graduated, and I also congratulate you on your good grades. Our college entrance examination results are very good. You will continue your studies in other schools in the future. These three years of study. With the memories of Cheng’an, let’s continue to the next stop.”

Lin Zhexia glanced at the position of class one.

Xu Ting sat with a boy wearing glasses.

The moment she retracted her eyes, she thought of a very distant day, when she entered the first year of high school, she dragged Chi Yao into the crowd to look at the class schedule.

After the graduation ceremony, the monitor of class seven organized a class dinner.

Lin Zhexia took a photo of the dining table and sent it to Chi Yao.

Chi Yao also sent a photo of the dinner party.

Lin Zhexia didn't really like to share these things with Chi Yao, because she didn't know the school and class that Chi Yao was in.

The teachers and students accidentally caught in the photo are all unfamiliar faces.

This will make her feel that everyone does not live in the same world.

After the dinner party, Lin Zhexia was about to go home when he was stopped in the corridor of the hotel.

Still the same boy.

The boy in the back row said a little nervously, "I'm taking the test in Haidu City."

Lin Zhexia nodded: "Congratulations."

The boy in the back row: "...Although I have told you before, I still want to tell you again today. I like you."

Lin Zhexia said "thank you" again.

Now that they have finished their exams, the shackles of puppy love in high school have been broken, and there is no excuse for studying hard.

Lin Zhexia drank a little wine at the dining table just now, and now she was a little erratic. At this moment, something that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time surfaced. Say this sentence: "I have someone I like."

During the summer vacation after graduating from high school, Lin Zhexia originally thought that she and Chi Yao could meet each other.

But she wasn't looking forward to it as much as before.

After being separated for too long, meeting became something she wanted to do but dared not to do for her.

She was afraid that those countless silences on the phone would be brought into reality face to face.

It was hard for her to bear the silence.

Because the person in front of her was once her best friend.

He was also someone she had secretly liked all along.

Can't say whether it's disappointment or luck, Lin He took her out of the country once this summer vacation.

There was a relative in their family abroad who was getting married and held a wedding, and invited them over. Lin He thought that Lin Zhexia needed to relax after the college entrance examination, so he extended the time to visit relatives abroad, and took her around.

Lin Zhexia will still contact Chi Yao during the holidays.

But she deliberately avoided the question about Chi Yao's application for the school.

In her subconscious mind, Chi Yao's grades must have gone to Beijing University. Moreover, his uncle and aunt are also in Beijing, so they definitely want him to apply for Beijing University.

It will be more difficult to meet in the future. Lin Zhexia thought that in a few years, the two of them would change from strangers to strangers.

He Yang also stayed in Lianyun City, and coincidentally, became her "spiritual alumni" again.

This time they were closer than they were in high school, because several universities were all in one place, forming a huge "university town".

"Can you care about me?" He Yang went with her on the day the freshmen registered for the university. "We have been friends for so many years, and you don't know which school I was admitted to."

Lin Zhexia glanced at him: "I thought you'd gotten used to it after so many years."

He Yang: "..."

Before entering university, Lin He took her to buy a lot of things.

She carried her suitcase and went to report to the freshmen.

On the day when freshmen register, the school is full of people, bustling, everyone wears different clothes, and is no longer the well-behaved appearance in high school.

Some people can't wait to dye their hair during the holidays, which was not allowed in school before, some people start to put on makeup, and some people walk into the school gate holding hands with their significant other.

Everything looks new and full of hope.

After paying the fee, Lin Zhexia took the map issued by the student union and went to find the dormitory.

The girls' dormitory and the boys' dormitory are separated by half a campus. When she went to the dormitory, there were already two people in the dormitory, a girl with short hair and a girl with green hair. The two were sitting and chatting together when someone came in Said enthusiastically: "Hi, there are six people in our dormitory, and you are the third to arrive."

Lin Zhexia was a little embarrassed: "Hello."

Several people exchanged names with each other. The short-haired girl is called Qin Lei, who studies finance, and the green-haired girl who studies art is called Lan Xiaoxue.

Lin Zhexia chose a small language and learned the language.

"Your hair is cool." Lin Zhexia couldn't help but praise.

Soon other people in the dormitory also arrived, there were too many people, Lin Zhexia didn't know them well for the time being, so he didn't talk much all day long.

After she finished tidying up the bed in the dormitory and setting up some daily necessities, she had time to look at her mobile phone, and saw a message from Chi Yao: Where have you been.

This message was posted more than two hours ago.

The content of the message is somewhat intimate.

She and Chi Yao have been separated for more than a year, and it is rare to have such a conversation without a sense of distance.

"Where have you been", as if he was waiting for her.

Lin Zhexia shook off this impossible thought, and replied: I just arrived at the dormitory.

At this time, Lan Xiaoxue called them: "Let's find a place to have dinner together at night. University, I was suffocated to death in high school, and I couldn't go anywhere. Now I'm a college student, so I have to celebrate."

As she said that, she lowered her volume again, "I heard that there is a street near our school, and there is a bar in it."

Qin Lei said: "Go to the bar on the first day of school, you are really wild."

Lan Xiaoxue asked for their opinions. Under Lin He's control, Lin Zhexia didn't drink much, and had never been to this kind of place. She was a little curious, and secretly voted for it: "...it's okay."

"Unanimously approved, then we will go in the evening."

As a college student, Lin Zhexia obviously felt an unspeakable difference.

It's very strange, obviously two or three months ago, she was still immersed in writing questions in the high school classroom. In the blink of an eye, she also left Nanxiang Street, and her life entered a new journey.

Bars opened near the school have many regulations, and they are not allowed to make too much smoke, so it looks more like a place to eat and chat than the "bar" outside.

There is not such a strong bar atmosphere, and the decoration is simple and clean.

The six of them found a table and ordered some snacks.

After seven o'clock, it was dark outside, and the lights in the store were turned on.

Someone is playing guitar on stage.

Lin Zhexia didn't quite adapt to this kind of environment, she silently gnawed on the chicken wings and listened to their chat.

The screen of the phone on the table lit up.

Chi: now

Lin Zhexia wiped her hands and replied: What now

Chi: Are you still in the dormitory now?

Lin Zhexia: Gone

She raised her head, wondering if she should tell Chi Yao that she came to the bar.

After thinking about it, I decided to tell the truth: I am in a very mysterious place now.

Chi:?

Lin Zhexia: A small bar in the back street of the school

Lin Zhexia: How about it, cool or not.

After she replied Chi Yao's message, she stopped looking at her phone and concentrated on eating chicken wings. After a while, Lan Xiaoxue chatted about gossip: "By the way, do you know that there is a new student in our school."

"Just after entering school, more than half of the girls in the whole grade were secretly wondering who he was."

Qin Lei felt that this was unrealistic: "...What's that like? It's more than half of it. Don't listen to such messy rumors. Maybe someone is idle and making it up."

Lan Xiaoxue: "It's not just making up, my friend saw it with her own eyes. In her exact words, it was just one look in the crowd, one look, that handsome guy was looking at the name on the freshman list, so handsome that everyone was angry. She said that she was I just want to be close to Lianyun University and be a classmate of this kind of person when there is smoke from the ancestral grave in my previous life."

Qin Lei: "...that's an exaggeration."

Lan Xiaoxue: "Don't believe me, I bet you that he will be on the school forum today."

After Lan Xiaoxue finished speaking, she turned to ask Lin Zhexia again, urgently needing to find approval: "Don't you believe me?"

Lin Zhexia gnawed on the chicken wings and said, "...uh."

Lan Xiaoxue: "Forget it! None of you believe me!!"

Although Lin Zhexia didn't believe it.

But inevitably, she thought of someone.

A certain high school freshman who once "killed the Quartet" in Cheng'an.

Lan Xiaoxue sat and listened to the nursery rhyme for a while, and felt that she didn't perform well just now, so she urgently contacted her friends, and quickly went to the school forum to search for keywords: "No, I still want to show you, I don't think there is any need to wait until tomorrow, maybe now Yes, let me search for 'Freshman', 'Freshman' and 'Handsome Guy'."

Qin Lei persuaded her: "Forget it, you, don't bother."

Lin Zhexia sat on the side and watched the whole process.

After she finished eating, she sat quietly on the seat.

The phone lighted up halfway, but she didn't notice it.

When Lan Xiaoxue yelled "I seem to have found it", Lin Zhexia got up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

At this point, the light in the bar is getting darker and darker.

She walked through the dining table aisle, and there were some single-seat seats ahead, and some people stood and gathered together to listen to music. She couldn't find the direction for a while, and was about to stop someone to ask for directions. In the crowd of people, I saw a person pushing the door and coming in.

The first thing she saw was the hand of the person outside the door resting on the doorknob. It was strange, it was just one hand. Although this hand looked a little better, her heart still missed a beat inexplicably, like in a novel. As written, I didn't know why, so I took a second look.

Then, the door was pushed open with a "creak".

The man stepped into the dim, colorful light.

Tall, with overgrown legs.

It was midsummer, and the boy was wearing a simple black T-shirt. The youthful feeling unique to young people faded a little on him, but he was still extremely thin.

He has a very ostentatious face, his brows and eyes are outlined deeper by the light, and the light is reflected in the light-colored pupils, cold and wanton.

The dim light from the bar fell on the silver stud earring on the boy's right ear, and Lin Zhexia almost thought that he was dreaming in the mixed light.

After a moment of dizziness, she saw Chi Yao pass other people and walk towards her. Under the suddenly lit light, he lowered his eyes to look at her, and called her: "Coward."

Lin Zhexia still couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion.

because.

The last time I heard the word coward was a long time ago.

The author has something to say:

Chigou is back! !

I didn’t save the manuscript, and this chapter is very long, so I’m late orz

ps: 1. Under the guidance of teachers and parents, minors should fill in and volunteer. No matter how the protagonist chooses and considers, the behavior of the novel does not have any reference.

2. All the cities and schools in this article are empty. When Beijing first appeared, it was set to go back and forth for two days, which was very, very far away + very suitable for opening a factory. In my original vision, it was a city that was very far away, rich in mining resources, and very industrial. , so it has nothing to do with Beijing, and there is no need to compare it with real schools.

3. In my setting, the two schools are not so powerful and the other is so ordinary. This chapter also said that Lian University has better majors than Beijing University. The male protagonist did not give up his ideals, and I don’t need to let him choose between dreams and love for a sweet article, but there will be a big difference in professional segmentation and employment direction, and Lianhui will have more advantages in this employment direction . (I haven’t mentioned this later in the article, and I only said that there are better majors than Beijing University.) It’s just that she doesn’t know this from the perspective of the heroine in this chapter. The reason why I let her not know is because from the perspective of plot arrangement I thought that two people were going to start their different lives. This is an important node in the content of my outline. It is impossible for the character I wrote myself to send him to a worse major.

4. As a fiction that doesn't involve reality, it's okay for readers who still can't accept the above. Everyone has the right to have different feelings. I can only say that I'm sorry that I can't take everyone into consideration.
