Journey to the south! '
In the year of competing for the college entrance examination, Schenk and Mo Xiaoqi reached an agreement, which read as above.
Schenk said: "I set my goal at Beiyou, just to change your gentleness in my life."
Can you imagine the expression of a tough guy with a height of 182 sweating on the court or fighting in the game two years before high school? Besides, no one knows where he got the courage to make such an agreement. After all, his textbooks always look new.
Mo Xiaoqi is different. She has been the kind of "other people's children" since she was a child. She studies well and behaves well, and is deeply loved by her uncles, aunts and teachers.
Mo Xiaoqi entered this high school with the first grade, and with the lovely appearance of the girls in the south of the Yangtze River, she naturally stood out and had many admirers. What is rare is that under the aura, she is not vain or aloof, like a calm water, excellent and convincing, even girls like it.
There are so many popular versions about how the boy Schenk got the goddess Mo Xiaoqi and became the public enemy of most boys in the school. Even Shen Ke didn't know what the standard answer was, until one day, the goddess put a satisfactory end to this question with a slightly elusive sentence, "I don't know what it is, but it is deep."
How much power can love someone inspire? I've always been puzzled by this question. I have seen my mother catch a fallen child at an amazing speed before, and my father moved a truck with his bare hands to save his trapped son, but it was too far and unrealistic. So when Shenke received the notice from Beijing Post after a year of hard work, I had a more real understanding of this problem. This power is really amazing.
Journey to the west, Shen Ke did it.
Mo Xiaoqi was ecstatic at the news. Usually gentle girl, actually holding a bottle to drink at the graduation party, but also singing loudly. No one can stop her, and she doesn't listen to anything, which makes Shen Ke, who is also very happy, feel overwhelmed and more confused.
The fate of Beiyou has won her tenderness all her life. This pair of affectionate mandarin ducks always make a positive result, and they envy single dog.
That night, Mo Xiaoqi was safely escorted home, and Shen Ke hummed a brisk tone. He couldn't help dancing street dance for a long time in the moonlight. He hasn't danced for a long time, and he is obviously a little rusty, but this doesn't affect his indescribable mood at the moment. People who walk at night will look at him more warily when they pass by. He doesn't care. At the moment, he just wants to enjoy the joy of victory quietly.
This is the story of Schenk. When he told this story in the bar, I almost broke up with him because of fucking envy. As his college roommate and a lonely single king, this story is really unbearable. But I never imagined that the wind would turn so thoroughly in the next words.
Shen Ke drank two glasses of wine, but didn't make any noise.
"Later, I couldn't find her." I clearly saw him crying. A man in his twenties, with a height of 180, was as fragile as a child at that moment.
I didn't dare to ask the following story, nor did he tell it that night. I accompanied him to drink from the bar to the street until dawn.
The sun rose again. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and shamelessly asked, "Shit, why are you on the road?"
Looking at his mean smile, I really regret that I didn't take the opportunity to slap him last night. I don't remember anything when I wake up anyway.
I'd rather he really didn't remember anything.
During the long college years, Schenk mainly did two things, playing ball and writing.
Playing ball has always been his hobby, but he can write. He said that he had hardly tried it in college before, except writing. Why did you cultivate this hobby later? "There are always things that you can't find someone to say, so you have to write them down," he said.
Once I accidentally saw such a sentence in his open notebook, "Without your Beiyou, it is not gentle at all."
The care between men has never been so delicate. I can't open his knot. The only thing I can do is to play two more balls with him.
That weekend, I slept until late in the morning and got up for a simple lunch. I sent him a message, "The weather is good, come and abuse me, see you in the East."
Five minutes later, he appeared in front of me on a bicycle, fully equipped and full of energy. This is what I like about him. There are mountains and rivers in his heart, but the surface is as calm as the sea.
"I depend, not bad. I haven't seen you for several days. This hit rate is good, and the dunk posture is becoming more and more attractive. This trend will hurt many primary school girls. "
Another fierce battle, hearty. Shen Ke wiped the sweat from his forehead and gave me a contemptuous look. We just sat on the sunny playground, drinking beer, blowing the wind and watching the girls passing by. Apart from the wind and occasional bird calls, it's surprisingly quiet here.
"You haven't found her yet?"
The clouds on the horizon are grotesque. If you don't look carefully, some look down like monkeys, some look like full pumpkins, and more like fluffy cotton candy. I stared at these clouds and watched them move slowly, but I didn't want to ask this unsolved question.
"She went to Hong Kong, a direction opposite to the north."
Shen Ke said that since that party, she has disappeared from his world, suddenly, completely and without news. He looked for her for a whole week, friends, neighbors, the owner of the shop next door, almost everyone who could ask, and their family disappeared mysteriously like aliens evacuated from the earth without leaving any trace.
When he came to Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications with a heavy suitcase from Guangzhou, the hometown of the Southern Expedition and the Northern Expedition, he stood at the gate of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, but suddenly he didn't know what he was insisting on. This hellhole looks strange.
In those days, when discussing the future, the goddess Mo Xiaoqi spoke The Journey to the West without thinking. Shen Ke never even asked her why she came so far to Beijing to study, nor did she think about where she was going, so she decided to set that goal for herself. He said that she didn't think so much at that time, just thought it would be good to have her place.
Six months later, I received another letter from Mo Xiaoqi. When I received the letter, Shen Ke was still wondering how something so old could appear these days, but he was there just in the middle of writing, and he couldn't let it go for a long time.
This is a letter from the goddess Mo Xiaoqi. I don't know exactly how much was said in the letter. I just learned from Shen Ke that she talked about the reason for leaving in her letter.
Mo Xiaoqi's mother is from Hong Kong and his father is from Guangzhou. When she was in the second grade, her family moved to Guangzhou, not far from Shenke. Although they lived there for several years, it seems to me that Schenk has never met Mo Xiaoqi's parents, nor has he heard of them from Mo Xiaoqi. After reading the letter, Shen Ke remembered that there was another reason behind the details he had neglected before.
Mo Xiaoqi's parents have always had a bad relationship. In her impression, mom and dad seem to have been quarreling. It is rare for them to sleep in the same bed one day a week, so although they live under the same roof, they basically live a separated life. For such a state of life, Mo Xiaoqi was afraid at first. She is afraid that one day, she will suddenly lose one of them and become a single-parent child. But after a long time, I grew up and got used to it. Let them go. She just wants to escape from this chaotic family and go to a place where there is no quarrel. Therefore, for the requirement of choosing a school, she only has four words-fighting in the south and leaving.
Seeing this, Schenk suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and the injury that left without saying goodbye had long been forgotten by him. He never thought that once sunny Mo Xiaoqi, a person suffered so much. At that moment, he just wanted to hold her in his arms, give him a strong shoulder and say nothing.
Later, on the second day after the college entrance examination in Mo Xiaoqi, her parents divorced, and the war that lasted for nearly ten years was coming to an end. On the inside, she is a bit lucky. Just, she didn't expect, after a sleep, everything changed. When I got up the next day, my father was away and my mother was still in bed. She walked to my mother's bed in slippers. Sleeping pills all over the floor woke her up suddenly. She was scared silly. She shouted and shook for a long time, but her mother still didn't move. She ran back to her room like crazy and picked up her cell phone, but her hands kept shaking and she didn't know who to call.
On that day, 18-year-old Mo Xiaoqi got into an ambulance for the first time in his life and took his mother to the hospital alone. Fortunately, the woman who finally made her hate and love was not taken away by death. Mo Xiaoqi said in the letter that at that moment, she felt that she could not leave so selfishly, leaving this desperate woman to die. She can't and can't.
Mo Xiaoqi's father cheated her, and when she was middle-aged, facing such a family without temperature, cheating seemed particularly normal, so Mo Xiaoqi didn't resent him at all, but when her mother was on the verge of death alone and the man never appeared after receiving the notice, Mo Xiaoqi silently told herself that there was no father.
After leaving the hospital, Mo Xiaoqi's mother said that she wanted to go back to Hongkong. She has died once, and she is not in the mood to ask her daughter what she thinks. So, in the next few days, Mo Xiaoqi quietly packed her bags and made all the preparations, and filled in "The Chinese University of Hong Kong" on the college entrance examination volunteer form.
Mo Xiaoqi wrote at the end of the letter: "If it really hurts, let the pain come more thoroughly. Since I can't make a southern tour with you, let me quietly disappear from your world. "
But she couldn't put it down after all, and sent this letter from afar for countless nights.
Schenk said that his heart, which had been sealed for half a year and thought it would never open again in this life, suddenly came back to life at the moment when he learned where Mo Xiaoqi was. He suddenly felt that the north in winter was so gentle.
A week after receiving the letter, Shen Ke skipped class and went to Hong Kong alone, went straight to the University of Hong Kong, went to her campus, breathed the air she breathed, stepped on every inch of land she might have stepped on, and imagined her figure reading in the morning light and walking in the bright moonlight. By the lake, on the playground, in on the boulevard, on the way to the classroom, he seemed to feel that she was beside him when she was away.
However, he still failed to see her.
The mobile phone number left in the letter was hung up after dialing for a few seconds, and then turned off.
At that moment, many pictures of why she didn't answer the phone appeared in his mind. For example, she is in class, she is dealing with important things, and her mobile phone is dead, but she ... never wondered if her heart has changed.
That night, Shen Ke checked into a nearby hotel. In the evening, on the playground of the University of Hong Kong, there are couples walking their dogs, classmates running and people playing basketball. He found a seat under the stage and sent a short message to the disconnected mobile phone number. "I came to your school, walked through the road you walked, and imagined how lonely you were without me. With the photos you gave me, familiar streets, but no photos of you, when can we go back to that day? Will you suddenly appear? On the playground of the campus, I will smile, wave hello and sit and chat with you. "
From sunset to stars, people around left one by one. Shenke got up and went back to the hotel, and finally waited for a reply. "Long time no see, I also hope that when we meet again, we can chat with a smile. Go home, and I will appear in front of you. "
Shen Ke stayed in Hong Kong for three days and finally flew back to Beijing with a thin backpack. Together, there are more than 200 days and nights of missing.
He knew Mo Xiaoqi's character, and if he didn't see it, he would never appear.
Although she didn't even see Mo Xiaoqi's face, Shen Ke was not angry at all, or even depressed. He said that compared with the despair of suddenly losing a few notes at that time, the situation is a hundred times better now. At least, the thoughts have a direction.
Back to Beiyou the next day, Shen Ke and Mo Xiaoqi had a phone call. This time, Mo Xiaoqi called and talked for two hours.
What did we talk about? Shen Ke didn't mention it like me, but since then, Shen Ke hasn't been to Hong Kong again, and his search for Mo Xiaoqi seems to have been temporarily put down. From that day on, he was a different person.
Shenke and I have been roommates since we entered school, and we often hang out together. In this era full of affection, it is estimated that we have long been the talk of many students after dinner. Haha, just kidding. I just want to say that I have been with Shenke for more than half a year. Although I can't describe him with words like depravity and decadence, I always feel that his life is always floating with what he lacks. Therefore, his subsequent changes made me feel a little incredible.
Going out early and returning late, in addition to seriously absorbing the contents of the class, I also regard the library as a base and plunge into various books to charge strongly. Exercise five days a week, methodical, and firm. I took an active part in various cultural and sports competitions, and my spare-time compositions have been slowly distributed to the school magazine, and I have learned seal cutting and guitar unnoticed. In a word, Shen Ke, who had been relaxed for a long time, suddenly seemed to wind up.
I was dumbfounded, watching him shed his old skin in front of me day by day and glow with fresh vitality. I've been thinking about what kind of power can make a person in The Journey to the West be firm, empty, aimless, whip and push forward!
I finally couldn't help it. I looked at Schenk, who was running on the treadmill, and I became more and more unfamiliar. I joked, "What the hell are you doing?"
He took off an earphone and smiled at me, gentle but full of power.
"I am waiting in the same place, waiting for her to turn back, and I will be with her in this life, regardless of north and south." Sweat drops from his smiling face, which is so mean.
The rising Shen Ke won the position of President of the Student Union in one fell swoop in his junior year. A few hundred words of competitive speech stunned the outgoing cadres, especially the last sentence, "The whole world will make way for a person who works hard towards his goal." Passionate tone, firm eyes and excellent strength easily touched the audience.
I don't know if there was a god who was famous all over the school when you were at school. Everyone mentioned him from the substitute teacher to the elementary school girls in the lower grades, and from time to time we can always hear legends about their different versions. After the transformation, Shenke is such an existence.
What applied for science was communication engineering. He has been the first in his class since his sophomore year. I'm not sure about the department ranking, but it's certainly good, because the second place is often a little far from him. Learning has advanced by leaps and bounds, and campus work has also flourished. Under his leadership, the students' union of ICT College has gradually developed and won the title of excellent group at the school level. In addition, I came across two of his essays in a magazine outside the school.
Sometimes, I feel that standing next to him will be burned by his light.
But more often, being irradiated by this light will give people a dumbfounding experience. For example, from time to time, strangers will find my contact information, chat with me, make friends, have a warm meal, and then add, "I heard that you are Shenke's best friend."
For this kind of circuitous contact, I have long been used to it, and I am too generous to be sad. However, quietly tell those who sent me a message to let me bridge. I didn't bring your regards, I was very busy.
There are many such stories, but most of them are temporary enthusiasm, and they will pass as soon as they are inquired. Except the girl named Xu Yifan, girls are really persistent as the name suggests.
Xu Yi, a junior clerk in the Literature and Art Department of the Student Union, has a pair of big black eyes and waist-length straight hair. He is not tall, about 163. She is neither fat nor thin, nor beautiful, but she belongs to the attractive type, because she has a temperament.
It is this girl who stood in front of Shen Ke one month after she entered the student union and openly said, "Shen Ke, I like you and I want to be your girlfriend".
It was after an activity, and everyone was ready to take pictures. When Xu Yifan stood on the podium with a microphone to say this sentence, the audience was silent for three seconds, and all eyes were focused on the little girl who attracted much attention on the podium. Then they looked at the protagonist Shen Ke in a unified way, and then they didn't know where to say "together", and the scene was boiling.
From beginning to end, Shen Ke's expression did not show any ups and downs. He walked slowly onto the platform, picked up the receiver and walked beside the girl. He said quietly, "Sorry, I have a girlfriend."
Afterwards, I told him how embarrassing it was to reject a girl so openly. He looked contemptuously and said nothing. I think that girl may quit the student union soon. After all, it's awkward.
But the truth is, I underestimated this girl. Girls nowadays have become so open-minded. If they like it, they should say it out loud. No matter whether the other party accepts it or not, he will never stop until he reaches his goal. They act like "I like you, it's none of your business".
Just like the scene in TV series, Xu Yifan got Shen Ke's class schedule through me. As long as she has time, she will skip class, even if she watches it silently in the corner. Later, she would make some fruit bowls by herself and stick them downstairs in Shenke dormitory. When she was rejected again and again, she forced it on me, although I basically ate it in the end.
She will take pains to force me to reveal Shen Ke's preferences, what she likes to eat, what she likes to see, where she often goes and so on. At first, I refused, knowing that Shen Ke was boring for her, and it didn't help her get deeper and deeper. But watching her work so hard day after day, and Shen Ke didn't mention the past for more than a year, I thought, should I give her a chance and give Shen Ke a chance to start over?
At Xu Yifan's insistence, I finally promised to help her persuade Shen Ke to have dinner together.
The location was chosen by this girl. It is said to be a retro shop with a strong flavor of the Song Dynasty. The location is a bit biased, there are not many people, but it is quiet and charming, which just caters to the minority literary needs of customers. After listening to it, I thought, this girl is really thoughtful. I just accidentally told her that Shen Ke was reading some ancient characters recently.
I think this will be an extremely difficult task. There have never been many sisters who have dinner with Shen Ke, but few have really been here. I thought for a long time how to tell him. Unexpectedly, he answered "Yes" in seconds.
Damn it, you're not as hard as you think!
What a nice place to eat. I can't understand the taste of literature and art, but as a veteran foodie, I give full marks to the taste of food and snacks. Besides, the proprietress is quite tasteful.
Senior Yifan is busy introducing the specialty snacks of this store and some short stories she told here before. I just ate and didn't listen at all. It was not until Shen Ke spoke that I suddenly realized that something was wrong. Hey, mom, why should I go on a date with her ... This light bulb is pawned, 10086. Please give me a call and let me leave.
As usual, Shen Ke put on a cold posture, cleared his throat and looked at her busy sister Yifan. "Fan Xiao, you are a good girl, enthusiastic, careful and full of energy, but I already have someone in my heart, and there will only be this one in my life. I appreciate your kindness, but ".
"I know, Mo Xiaoqi is right, I have heard your story, and I like your story. I can wait, as long as she doesn't show up one day, I'll wait one day. If she doesn't show up at last, you are mine. " Xu Yifan interrupted Shen Ke, a face of sunshine spoke his love vows, didn't give people a chance to breathe.
This girl, she shocked me again!
Shen Ke glanced at my chopsticks hanging in mid-air, picked up the glass on the right hand side and took a long drink. "In this world, the only word' wait' is difficult!" Deep in thought.
This sentence, I don't know whether to remind Yifan or remind myself!
From then on, the story goes on like this, one is chasing him, and the other is sworn. Similarly, they are all working hard for the person in their hearts.
Time flies to the third year of high school. When Shen Ke felt that he had just arrived in Beiyou, the business circle at the school gate was not so prosperous, but only a few snack bars were there. Every time he comes out of the internet cafe after playing games, everyone always pulls a few strings of kidneys and blows two bottles of beer in the barbecue shop next to him. The boss, surnamed Wang, is a chubby Qingdao native. Unlike the thin and tall Xinjiang man who sells mutton kebabs, he never sells them. He always looks like a good uncle next door, and makes every kebab the same size and weight as him.
Later, after receiving a letter from Mo Xiaoqi, Shen Ke stopped going to Internet cafes, but occasionally invited several buddies to get together at Uncle Wang's barbecue shop. At that time, the jokes of Lao Wang next door had not yet arisen. Now, when I mention this stalk, I always think of that kind-looking uncle Wang for the first time, although his shop has been closed for a long time.
"Where are you going after graduation?" When I asked this, Shen Ke and I had just successfully completed our graduation defense. To celebrate, I bought him a bottle of yogurt. We found a seat in the audience of the playground, and watched the younger brothers and sisters running in the middle of the playground, the little couples snuggling in the sun, and the teachers' families flying kites. It seems that we were running there yesterday, and it's like a thousand miles. We are not who we used to be.
Schenk said that three years ago, I sat alone in HKU's playground for several hours and found that the starry sky there seemed different from that in Beijing. Oh, no, there is only night sky in Beijing.
Hehe, who says there are no stars in Beijing, but you can't see them!
"I remember that time, you went to Mo Xiaoqi and sat in the middle of the night without waiting for her." "By the way, speaking of Mo Xiaoqi, do you two still have contact? I haven't heard her name for a long time. "
"She is always here." Shen Ke turned to look at me. For the first time, I found that his right hand on his chest was quite slender, like a girl's hand.
"Bah, your ya can be disgusting? What a shame to play single dog with me! " For his story with Mo Xiaoqi, I am full of envy, jealousy and hatred, plus 3000 puzzles and puzzles. Seeing that he didn't go on, I asked again, "I haven't seen how to contact you in recent years." Do you play Plato? Also, sister Yifan has been dead set for more than a year. Can you really sit still and be unmoved? "
"She said she needed time. Much as I want to know what happened to her, I don't want to force her. We agreed to meet at graduation. " "As for the younger generation of Fan Yi, it used to be that the sea is hard for water, and amber is always there. I have never regarded her as a sister. "
I don't know how to answer at the moment. I have a hunch that they will eventually come together. Along the way, I became the only witness to the story of the bad karma Yuanyang. Although I only had two years of emotional foundation in high school, I never met again. On the road, I also fought with many gods and ghosts like Sister Yifan. But after knowing Schenk for four years, I strongly feel that there is more to this story. At least, Shen Ke will not let go unilaterally.
Oh, by the way, Shen Ke didn't answer the question I asked at the beginning, "Where are you going after graduation?" But I think the answer must be: Where is Mo Xiaoqi?
We graduated when Acacia was in full bloom on campus. The fragrance of the whole campus is mixed with faint sadness, watching everyone go away one by one. Some people say that this flower tree looks like a yellow cloud from a distance. When you walk in, you can only see tiny leaves and fluffy yellow flowers. I have witnessed its loveliness under the tree countless times. From then on, it is estimated that it can only be a cloud floating in the heart.
The night before we left, we packed everything, and Shen Ke and I went to get drunk again. Friends of four years, at this time, some words can only be put in wine. I laughed at him for not dying here as drunk as he did three years ago. He retorted that the wine here had never drunk him. We talked a lot. From the first time we came to Beiyou, we felt that four years had passed, from the night when we packed our bags to the night when we skipped classes, from Lao Wang's barbecue shop to the snack street in front of our house, from the teaching building in Chaoyang to the library in the moonlight, from the awesome blowing to the miracle we spelled out, from The Journey to the West to "Spend the rest of our lives together" ... We just said "Come on, brother".
After graduation, I returned to my hometown in Yunnan. I have also struggled to stay in the Imperial City and enjoy my youth, but in the end I still miss my hometown's green mountains and green waters, blue sky and white clouds, and my kind hometown. As for Shen Ke, I don't know where he will eventually go.
Humanism means that everything will be fine, and all shall be well. I don't know how to be a lover, but I sincerely pray that Schenk and other girls can go hand in hand in the foreseeable future.
Before the day is old, I can't get rid of my feelings. My heart is like a double screen with a Qian Qian knot inside. The emotional process in youth may be this taste.
