Huang Dan arrived in City W by train for more than four hours. The unified entrance exam is tomorrow. There were many youthful figures shuttling through the station. All of them were carrying black painting bags on their backs and carrying colorful toolboxes in their hands. The immature face is full of curiosity about new things, and the steps are firm or lazy.

He didn’t stay too long, he found a hotel and stayed there.

When Chen Shi called, Huang Dan had just finished taking a shower and was about to eat rice with mushrooms and vegetables packed on the road. He put the phone between his ears and shoulders, “Hello.”

It was very quiet on the other side, Chen Shi was in the room, “Are you eating?”

Huang Dan broke open the disposable chopsticks and pulled out the burrs on them, so as not to accidentally break the wound on his mouth, he said he was going to eat, “Have you eaten it?”

Chen Shi responded lazily, “No, I’ll heat up the leftover lunch later.”

Huang Dan picked up the shiitake mushrooms and ate them. Hearing his casual tone, his eyebrows frowned, and he asked something else, “Did the teacher say anything this afternoon?”

Chen Shi said he didn’t say anything, “Just let us draw another picture according to the test questions, and recombine those things…… Zhang Shuran, what good food are you eating? I heard you smash your mouth!”

Huang Dan said, “Mushrooms and green vegetables.”

He paused, “It’s too oily and has a lot of monosodium glutamate. It’s not as delicious as your cooking.”

Chen Shi laughed, and smiled on the other end of the phone, “Young master, you should be content, you still know how to buy takeaway food after you leave me, and I am too lazy to eat and drink without you.”

Huang Dan swallowed the food in his mouth, “The food must be eaten on time.”

Chen Shi said that he knew, was talking over the phone, and he suddenly let out a muffled sigh, “After we parted, I found that chatting on the mobile phone is really awkward, I can’t even see your face, it’s better to talk when facing each other……”

Huang Dan is not born with a lively and flamboyant personality, his emotions are not open, people who are not familiar with him will think that his voice is flat when he speaks, his eyes do not fluctuate when he looks at people, he is aloof and arrogant, and people who are familiar with him will know that it’s just that he is extremely slow, talks less, and prefers to listen.

Just like now, Huang Dan is listening to Chen Shi most of the time, listening very seriously, forgetting that he is hungry, and only occasionally remembering to take a bite of food into his mouth.

Chen Shi talked for a while, then the other end quieted down, and there was another slight sound, not knowing what he was doing.

Huang Dan’s food was already a little cold, he found the last piece of shiitake mushroom and put it in his mouth, “Long distance calls are expensive, so let’s talk later, I will call you when I go back and change the card.”

Chen Shi laughed slowly, “Let’s talk later, I’m not done yet.”

Only then did Huang Dan hear the heavy panting coming from the other end of the phone, and he couldn’t help but rubbed his forehead. He leaned back and leaned against the back of the chair to change into a more comfortable sitting position, “Are you lying on the bed?”

“That’s right, lying where you usually sleep, and the quilt and pillow are covered with your smell, it smells so good.”

Chen Shi laughed twice, his breathing became heavy, mixed with the sound of his throat rolling.

Huang Dan listened with drooping eyelids. He raised his arm, inserted his fingers into the hair on his forehead, and stroked the hair back. His body was hot and he didn’t feel well.

Need to take another shower later, he thought.

Chen Shi’s breathing gradually stabilized, he cursed, a little out of breath, “Damn it, I accidentally stained the photo sticker.”

Huang Dan,“……”

At 6:30 the next morning, Huang Dan was woken up by Chen Shi’s phone call. The alarm clock rang a few minutes later. He checked what he was going to bring, washed up and went out.

Don’t know if it’s because of the different regions. Huang Dan only took the half-body test and the gouache test, and didn’t take the other test. He has no problems with both.

The night before Huang Dan left City H, Chen Shi moved a stool and sat down, with his feet hooked to the garbage basket, and bent over to sharpen his pencils. After sharpening one pencil, he sharpened it again, seven in total.

Huang Dan said that he didn’t need that much, and he would give half of it to Chen Shi.

Chen Shi refused. He said that seven was his lucky number, and he gave them to Huang Dan.

When Huang Dan sat in the examination room and opened the pencil case, revealing a row of pencils that looked like works of art, the people around him paid attention to him, pointed at him softly, and said that his pencils were well sharpened.

A girl saw that Huang Dan had a lot of pencils and they were so well sharpened, so she blushed and asked if she could get one.

Huang Dan looked up, she was a very beautiful girl, he didn’t give it to her.

Whether the number seven can bring luck is aside, but those pencils were carefully sharpened for him by Chen Shi, and he did not carelessly sharpen each one. He didn’t like others to use them.

The girl didn’t seem to expect that she would be rejected, she was taken aback and then turned to complain to her companion, saying that she had never seen such a stingy person.

Huang Dan didn’t care. After the exam, he talked with Chen Shi on the phone and went back to school alone.

He didn’t do what some candidates did. After the exam, he threw away the drawing board and the toolbox after the test, so as to end his training career for several months. It was also a signal to himself to work hard for the next major subjects.

When Huang Dan got off the train, the original owner’s parents picked him up. They didn’t ask how he did in the exam, so they asked him to study hard and take the time to study.

Two days later, the original owner’s father took a friend’s car to City H and brought back the things in the rental house of the Agricultural University. The two quilts were new, and there were pots and pans. Everything was bought with money, so don’t waste it.

The original owner’s father came back and told Huang Dan that when he got there, everything was packed, it was Chen Shi who packed it up, everything that needed to be scrubbed was scrubbed clean, everything that needed to be folded was neatly folded, there was nothing to worry about.

When Huang Dan heard the original owner’s father say, for a moment, he thought he had a virtuous daughter-in-law.

“Son, Chen Shi is two years older than you, but he is able to deal with people and things in every way, he is sensible and polite, and his personality is calmer than his peers. This friend is worthy of deep friendship.”

Huang Dan said, “I will.”

The countdown to the college entrance examination entered, and the senior high school students began to face the last sprint of less than a hundred days.

Huang Dan’s class is in Class 5. There were originally five art students in the class. The original owner’s deskmate dropped out of school for some unknown reason. Now there are only four people left, three girls and one boy. They happen to be placed in the middle class. In a row, every class raises its face to accept the teacher’s spittle and chalk dust.

The class teacher’s home is in the next village, and the original owner’s father went to his house frequently, pointing out that he could help his son get ahead before the college entrance examination.

The original owner’s grades were not ideal, the best grades in Chinese did not exceed the passing line, mathematics never crossed the 40s gap, English fluctuated around the 50s and 60s, the geography in the comprehensive essay was in single digits, and the single subject test was still low but a little bit better, but the comprehensive test is very poor.

Huang Dan learned that the original owner’s father had found him a geography teacher for tutoring, and he said no.

The original owner’s father was a broken pole when he was a son, so he didn’t think much about it. He said earnestly, “Shuran, you are an art student. You are different from others. You have improved your major but not your humanities. At that time, it will be too late for you to regret it.”

Huang Dan said, “Dad, trust me once.”

The original owner’s father was squatting at the door smoking, and it took a while to pat the ash on his pants to stand up and said, “Okay, I heard from your class teacher that there are several more exams before the college entrance examination. Dad will trust you once, and if you can’t, just obediently make up for lessons.”

It didn’t take long for the model test. Whether it was Chinese, Mathematics, English, or Comprehensive Literature, Huang Dan selectively gave up some questions, and only allowed himself to get a score that could convince the original owner’s parents that he didn’t need to go tutoring.

He didn’t want to get the title of an outstanding student before the college entrance examination, because being in the limelight would bring him trouble.

Even so, after the results came out, Huang Dan was knocked on the table by the class teacher during his morning self-study and called to the office.

The last time you got more than 200 points in the test, this time you got more than 400 points in the test, and there was a gap of several months. If you work hard enough and find a learning method that suits you, you can definitely achieve such a result.

But……

The head teacher looked at the student standing in front of him. One was not in the classroom for the past few months, and the courses had already fallen behind. Maybe in order to draw, he didn’t even have the time to read books and do the questions. After all, the professional exams are ahead, and the time is very tight.

So how could this kid improve so much in the mock test after returning to school?

The class teacher’s first reaction was whose papers this child copied, but he checked and found that the grades of the students sitting in the front, back, left, and right were all average, and none of the top ten students sat nearby. Who did he copy?

Later, the teacher in charge thought of flipping through the book, but there is a big problem behind the math that is more complicated, and there are not many people in the class who scored. This child got a full score, and his thinking in solving the problem was very clear. It can be seen that he was very confident at that time.

Not only the head teacher, but several other teachers were also very surprised. They got together to discuss yesterday afternoon, but they couldn’t get to a conclusion.

The only thing that hasn’t changed about this kid is that his handwriting was very scribbled before, like a dog’s rake, and it’s still the same now.

The class teacher took a sip of herbal tea from the teacup. He looked at the student who surprised him, and said in a gratified tone, “You have made great progress, especially in mathematics and English.”

Huang Dan said, “When I was painting in Agricultural University, my roommate helped me with tuition.”

The class teacher understood now, and the doubts in his heart were relieved. He said twice that it was good, “What you have to do now is to put your mind in order and review the basic knowledge more.”

Huang Dan said, “I will.”

The class teacher put down the teacup, “I’ll show you the papers, and I’ve also asked the teachers of other subjects. It stands to reason that you can score at least 500 points, but you haven’t written easy questions for each subject. Is it because you have no time arrangement, and it was not enough later?”

Huang Dan nodded, “Yes.”

The class teacher knocked on the table, “Easy ones first, then difficult ones. If you encounter a problem you can’t solve, you should give up immediately. Don’t hesitate, or you will suffer a lot.”

Huang Dan said to remember.

The class teacher said, “Pay attention to your handwriting, it’s too scribbled, and you will lose points in the composition.”

Huang Dan said he would pay attention.

In fact, he was waiting for the head teacher to mention it, so that he could use his hard work as an excuse to slowly write back his handwriting.

The class teacher teaches mathematics, so he said a few more words on it, “The time is running out, you have to do more questions, and thoroughly understand some knowledge modules that have a high probability of being asked.”

He took out Huang Dan’s test paper and pointed to one of the trigonometric function fill-in-the-blank questions, “Like this question, you shouldn’t lose points, and this question is also the same. What did you think at the time? Was it right when you built the coordinate system……”

Huang Dan kept listening, and when the class teacher stopped talking, he said that he would go back and read.

The class teacher was more relieved this time than before. Grades are not the only criterion for judging a person’s excellence, but also his attitude. He put the papers back where they were, and greeted the other teachers after the student left.

Huang Dan was in trouble.

From that day on, Huang Dan was either called up to answer questions, recite texts, or go up to write words silently and do questions. As an art student, he suddenly had other labels.

The other three girls who were studying fine arts were just a little unexpected. They were more concerned about how the exams of Huang Dan’s single-entrance exam went, and whether he had received the notice. The other students in the class were shocked.

For a few days, Huang Dan became the topic of discussion in the class.

“What the hell is going on with Zhang Shuran? He hasn’t come back for several months, and he hanged himself like this as soon as he came back?”

“Does that still need to be said? He must have signed up for class outside.”

“They don’t have time. My cousin is also an art student. She said that she has to draw three pictures a day, sketching in the morning, gouache at noon, and sketching in the evening. It is very late when she returns from the studio, and she has no time to do the questions. The pressure, it’s very big, and she loses a lot of hair, and she is so tired.”

“That’s a sudden epiphany. It’s not uncommon. Hey, there are dozens of days left for the college entrance examination. It would be great if I wake up in the morning and have an epiphany.”

“It’s not dark yet, and I’m starting to dream.”

“Nonsense, daydreaming is not done during the day, do you have to wait until night?”

“Stop talking, people are coming.”

Huang Dan walked into the classroom, sat down on his seat as if nothing had happened, pulled out “Reader” from the stacked books, and read it under his nose.

The three or four girls in the row inside were talking in low voices.

“You said, if I go to Zhang Shuran to borrow English notes, will he lend them to me?”

The other girls booed and told her to try it.

“He is very handsome, and his height is more than 1.75 meters. Standing with you, you are on his shoulder. You are very suitable.”

“Really, aren’t we talking about notes? How did I get involved in this? I’m going, bless me!”

“Bless you, bless you, go quickly.”

Huang Dan was turning the pages, and he looked up when he heard the voice, “What’s the matter?”

The girl explained her purpose with a smile. After she finished speaking, she blinked her eyes and asked expectantly, “Is it okay?”

Huang Dan flipped through on the table, he took out the English notes and gave them to her.

“Thank you, I’ll return it to you later.”

The girl raised her notebook and smiled triumphantly at the other people near her seat. She had more confidence in her own charm index, but she had no other emotions.

The college entrance examination is just around the corner, and the breakup is just around the corner. At this juncture, there are no new couples. Everyone’s minds are in chaos. The dreams in their hearts, the yearning for the society, and the yearning for the university are all messed up at their feet.

They were at a loss and hesitated.

Among the couples who are still wobbling and holding hands, it is not the most serious thing to write a small note with several typos. The most serious thing is that the person who reads the note cannot find the typos.

Chasing someone, or being chased, is inappropriate.

When Huang Dan went back to school, he just wanted to fulfill his promise to Chen Shi, take the college entrance examination, work part-time together, bring the admission letter to meet him in the university, and advance and retreat with him, as for other things, it doesn’t matter.

The memory of high school in the real world has long been blurred, and Huang Dan is too lazy to think about the people and things at that time.

There is a countdown sign on the wall of the teaching building. There are two numbers in total, and the first number is changing under the watchful eyes of the senior high school students, eight, seven, six…… When it reaches zero, the last of their three years of high school will be in front of them.

Some people pass, some fail, and some get high marks. No matter what the score is, it’s all under the pen.

One morning, Huang Dan’s deskmate told him that there was his registered letter at the guard’s place, “Zhang Shuran, the college you exam for has sent you a notice.”

At this time, there will be nothing but the notice.

When Huang Dan returned with the notice from the guard, everyone in the classroom knew about it. It was his deskmate and two other art students who spread the word.

Some boys jokingly said that Huang Dan is very powerful, and he received the notice before the college entrance examination, saying that he is now a college student, and he should not forget his old classmates when he becomes prosperous in the future, and also said that he should treat them.

The others followed suit.

Huang Dan stuffed the notification letter under the desk. He went back to the dormitory at noon, took his mobile phone and went to the playground to call Chen Shi, “Did you receive the college notification letter?”

Chen Shi said that he just received it, “Did anyone in your class ask you to treat?”

Huang Dan said yes, presumably Chen Shi’s situation was similar to his, “I weighed Alpine candy, it was Hu Juan’s idea.”

Chen Shi’s tone changed, “Who is Hu Juan?”

Huang Dan said, “My deskmate.”

Chen Shi raised his voice on the other end, roaring angrily, showing grievance, “Your deskmate is a girl? You don’t tell me such a big thing!”

Huang Dan，“……”

He leaned against the wall, and the wind blew up his open school uniform, “Besides me, there are three art students in the class, all of whom are girls, and we sat together.”

Chen Shi snorted, “Be happy.”

Huang Dan thought about it, but he didn’t think of anything to be happy about. He didn’t have much to talk about with them, “Don’t worry.”

Chen Shi smiled and said, “I have nothing to worry about, Zhang Shuran, from the moment you fucking said you liked me, I made up my mind, if you dare to cheat on someone behind my back, even if I have to crawl, I will climb to your school, break your legs, carry you away, find a place to lock you up, and let you only see me rest of your life.”

Huang Dan’s scalp went numb when he heard Chen Shi’s laughter, and he said that he didn’t want to be nice to others, “I’ll call home now.”

Chen Shi asked, “You haven’t told the family yet?”

Huang Dan said no, “The first one is for you.”

Chen Shi was immediately amused, and hung up the phone after saying a few words, “Give Gege a Kiss .”

Huang Dan looked around and mwaah at the phone, “Kissed.”

Before the phone was hung up, there was still Chen Shi’s unhappily scolding voice, like a resentful woman who told you to kiss me, just kiss me, no matter how many times, almost said “Do you like me or not”.

Huang Dan was helpless, he called back, and before Chen Shi could speak, he mwaah several times.

Chen Shi was lying on the railing, squinting his eyes and smiling happily.

Not long after, the results of the unified entrance exam came out. Huang Dan called to check. After checking his own, he called Chen Shi, who called first and asked him how much he had passed.

Huang Dan reported the result, “What about you?”

Chen Shi said that he was three points higher than him, “It’s all on the gouache, and my sketch score is the same as yours.”

Huang Dan asked, “Then shall we fill in the university directly, or choose one of the colleges in the province?”

Chen Shi said, “It’s University, it’s not too close to our home, and it’s not too far away. The distance is quite suitable. There are also many tourist attractions in the nearby cities. We can run around when we have time and bring paintings. Bag sketching, look at the scenery, what do you think?”

Huang Dan said, “Okay.”

Chen Shi was probably outside, calling his name loudly into the phone, something stirred in his heart, “Zhang Shuran, do you miss me?”

Huang Dan said, “I miss you.”

Chen Shi sighed with exhaustion in his tone, “I miss you too. After the mock exam last time, I stepped up my time to review. I’m almost tired, so I can’t go to see you. Just bear with it, and you’ll be fine after the exam.”

That sentence seemed to be said to himself, so bear with it.

Huang Dan said, “I want to hug you.”

Chen Shi said he was going to class, and we’ll talk next time, so he hung up the phone hastily.

As a result, in the evening, Huang Dan was writing English words silently, when he heard someone shout, “Zhang Shuran, your Gege is here——”

Huang Dan immediately looked up.

Chen Shi stood at the door of the classroom. He wasn’t wearing a school uniform. He was wearing something similar to the first time he saw Huang Dan. A simple white shirt, white-washed jeans, and a pair of basketball shoes on his feet. They were clean, just like that. Standing, he is tall and solid, with clear outline, radiant body, and handsome.

Huang Dan walked out of the classroom under everyone’s gaze, and did not miss the fiery eyes of the girls.

At this point, there is no one on the playground.

As soon as he got there, Chen Shi pulled Huang Dan to the corner vigorously, pulled up the collar of his school uniform, pushed his knees against his legs, and pressed him against the wall to kiss.

Huang Dan wrapped his arms around Chen Shi’s back, and the corner of his mouth was bitten. He inhaled in pain, and pressed his fingertips into the muscles below through the shirt.

After being separated for more than a month, Chen Shi’s longing was between his lips and tongue, and he wished he could take the youngster right here. He heard the suppressed crying in his ears, his brows were tightly frowned, and he had already withdrawn, but his face buried in the youngster’s neck.

Just sticking to the warm skin and smelling the scent of soap made Chen Shi go crazy. He tightened his lips and breathed heavily, like a hungry beast.

Huang Dan cried for a while, and the tears were all over Chen Shi’s shirt, “Went to the station to buy a ticket after hanging up the phone?”

Chen Shi kissed the youngster’s neck, his breathing became heavier and more chaotic, and the corners of his forehead were covered with unbearable sweat, “No, I went to the class teacher first to ask for leave.”

Huang Dan knew that this place is not suitable for intimacy, so he distracted Chen Shi, “What excuse did you use?”

Chen Shi smiled, dug teeth lightly on a piece of flesh in his neck and rubbed it a few times, “I said that my heart hurts and I couldn’t concentrate, so I fooled the class teacher.”

In fact, he didn’t say it. At that time, there were shadows in his eyes and his complexion was bad, like a patient.

To be precise, he was ill and came here to take his medicine.

Huang Dan touched the stubble protruding from Chen Shi’s chin, “Why were you in such a hurry?”

With a smile on the corner of Chen Shi’s lips, his eyes were gentle, and he flicked his finger on the youngster’s forehead, “This is a rubbish question, classmate Zhang Shuran, don’t even need to think about it, my wife wants to hug me, can I not come?”

Huang Dan hugged Chen Shi, then let go and hugged again.

Someone came over, chattering and laughing, Chen Shi immediately dragged Huang Dan away and moved to a more remote place.

Huang Dan kissed Chen Shi, just behind the small room where the equipment was kept on the playground.

Chen Shi pulled the youngster away from the scene in case of the accident, and sat down on the stairs downstairs of the science and technology building. He took out his cigarette and lighter, and lit a cigarette under the night, with a relaxed and lazy face.

Huang Dan still had a fishy taste in his mouth, “You’re a little angry.”

Chen Shi propped himself up on his knees and smoked, “My brain has been split into two halves, one half is pretending to be you, and the other half is messy topics. Tell me, can I not get angry?”

Huang Dan took the cigarette from his mouth, “Where will you stay at night?”

Chen Shi turned his head sideways, his eyes stared straight at him, “I found a small hotel, will you sleep with Gege?”

Huang Dan said he would think about it.

Chen Shi became angry when he heard it. He grabbed the youngster by the collar with a hurt look on his face, “Think? Zhang Shuran, do you have the heart to leave me alone in a small hotel?”

Huang Dan said, “A small hotel is also a hotel, and there will be everything that should be there.”

Chen Shi said nonsense, he pressed the youngster’s forehead, and said in a low voice, “Not you.”

Huang Dan said, “Wait until I finish my evening self-study.”

Chen Shi frowned, “That’s too late, you last two periods and talk to the class teacher when you leave.”

Huang Dan agreed.

The small hotel is not far from the school. It takes ten minutes to walk along a street. Huang Dan did not bring review materials, but only a backpack. He came out of the shower and kissed Chen Shi again, twice, Chen Shi also kissed him.

The two lie on the bed and watch TV, kiss each other after a while, and hug each other to sleep when they are tired. They are not afraid of the sky falling, because they are not alone.

Chen Shi didn’t want to leave, but he couldn’t do without.

Huang Dan took out two thick notebooks from his backpack, “There are English, mathematics, and comprehensive knowledge points in it. The basic parts are taken out for you separately, and some areas that are often tested are also circled for you.”

He handed the notebook to Chen Shi, “Although the progress of each school is different, you can use the ones I compiled.”

Chen Shi flipped through the book above, his voice hoarse, “It must have taken a lot of time.”

Most people would say that it didn’t take much time, it doesn’t matter, etc. Huang Dan is a sincere person, “five or six days.”

Chen Shi pressed forward, his chin resting on the youngster’s shoulder, so big and tall, he bent his back and put on a docile posture for him, “Wife, why are you so nice.”

Huang Dan pushed away the person who was leaning on him, and reminded, “If you don’t leave, you won’t be able to catch up.”

Chen Shi didn’t move, he was still pressing, his arms were tightly wrapped around the youngster in his arms, and lips were close to his ears, “What should I do, I haven’t left yet, I’m starting to miss you.”

Huang Dan was overwhelmed by him and couldn’t breathe.

Chen Shi knew that he couldn’t leave marks on his ears, so he parted the neckline and kissed, and lingered for a while before leaving, “Is the photo sticker here?”

Huang Dan said yes, he took out his wallet, flipped to the innermost layer, and exposed the photo sticker.

Chen Shi was delighted when he saw it, “Little guy, it’s quite secretively hidden.”

He suddenly became unhappy again, “Zhang Shuran, I missed you so much, so I kissed you over the photo. Several of them were blurred by my kiss. Why is your photo so new, have you never taken it out and kissed it once?”

Huang Dan said, “The photo stickers are dirty.”

Chen Shi’s face darkened, and the next moment he heard the youngster, “Whenever I miss you, I draw you, and I will erase it after I finish the drawing. Sometimes I can draw many times a day.”

His heart skipped a beat, and it started beating crazily again. Chen Shi felt that what he heard just now were the most beautiful love words in the world, so he didn’t react in the next few minutes. He was engraving those words in his heart.

Seeing that Chen Shi was motionless, Huang Dan pushed, “What’s wrong?”

Chen Shi didn’t speak, but hugged the youngster silently, with great strength, trying to merge him into his body.

Huang Dan hugged him silently, endured the pain, and cried when he couldn’t help it.

The two hugged each other in the small hotel for a long time, and when they came out, their eyes were red, one was from pain, the other was from reluctance, missing was really fucking painful.

Huang Dan sent him to the car, and hurried back to school.

The countdown finally entered the last month, and the tense atmosphere was condensed into a hemp rope by the senior high school students, dripping with sweat.

Except for Huang Dan, he folded the stars lying on the table. Others thought that he was already inflated because he was not even in the top ten in the class. At this time, he didn’t review quickly, he still folded that star.

The story spread, and it reached the class teacher’s ears, and the class teacher called him to the office, walking back and forth in front of him with his hands behind his back.

“You did so well in your professional courses, and your humanities courses are also very good. The college entrance examination is coming soon. You can put aside other things first. It’s not too late to talk about it after the college entrance examination is over.”

Huang Dan said, “I know.”

The class teacher sighed inwardly, the current student is too obedient, if those troublemakers in the class can do the same, he can at least live for a few more years.

“That’s it. Go back to the classroom. If you don’t understand anything about the homework, just ask the teacher in private. I won’t emphasize how important the next twenty or thirty days are.”

Huang Dan didn’t fold the stars, and he started to draw pictures, all of which are the same face.

The last time Chen Shi came here, other people knew that he was Huang Dan’s Gege, regardless of whether it was relative, cousin, or recognition, in short, he was a Gege.

Huang Dan changed his face one day, he just did it on a whim, but when he matched the face with the hairstyle and body shape, it fits very well without being obtrusive at all.

Thinking of some speculation, the pencil in Huang Dan’s hand fell to the paper, he picked it up and turned it around a few times, and he grabbed the thread hidden in the ball of wool.

Huang Dan turned the sketchbook to another page, and quickly drew Qi Fang. Without a beard, his facial contours became clear at once. He also had shaved eyebrows, and his eyelids were also inner. The arc of the tail goes down, and the eyebrows and eyes are heroic.

It’s just a little different from Lin Mao’s changed face, except for the absence of moles in the eyebrows, slight differences in facial features, and lack of integrity and kindness.

Qi Fang usually keep a beard. When people talk to him, they will focus on his beard, and it is difficult to pay attention to his eyebrows and eyes.

After a pause, Huang Dan held the pencil and drew a mole on Qi Fang’s right eyebrow.

It turned out to be like this……

Huang Dan stared at the person in the painting, his brain was running fast, shaking out all the clues before and after, and eliminated the useless ones in the shortest time, and the rest became clear.

Hu Juan at the same desk fell asleep. She rubbed her numb arms, glanced casually, and gasped, “I seem to have seen this person somewhere.”

Huang Dan’s nerve endings trembled suddenly, “Where is it?”

Hu Juan said she would think about it, “No, Shuran, I can’t remember anything.”

Huang Dan made her think again.

Hu Juan looked at Huang Dan who looked serious, and thought that the matter might be serious, so she kept thinking, thinking about it after class.

On the third day, when Hu Juan was in class, she suddenly said, “Shuran, I remembered!”

The teacher in the room on the podium was writing formulas, but the chalk tip broke and fell on his leather shoes, and the class was silent.

Hu Juan finished the class standing up with a flushed face.

Huang Dan thanked her, and went to the class teacher to ask for leave after class. He didn’t even return to the dormitory, and asked the class teacher for a few dozen dollars to borrow. He ran to the school gate and waited for a long time before he got a bus.

In the inpatient department of the hospital in the city, Huang Dan knocked on the door of each ward to look for him. He found the person in the inner room, and he knew he was right just by looking at his back.

A middle-aged man was lying on the hospital bed, and Qi Zuo wiped his hands with a towel. He thought it was a nurse, so he said, “My dad just moved his eyelids again, come and see, is he about to wake up?”

There were only footsteps behind him, but there was no response. Qi Fang realized something was wrong. He turned his head and opened his eyes slightly when he saw someone coming, “Zhang Shuran, why are you here?”

Huang Dan stood between the hospital bed and the door, “Is your father okay?”

Qi Fang put down the towel, “As you can see, he is a vegetable, and no idea when he will be able to open his eyes.”

He smiled, “You haven’t told me why you are here, let alone a coincidence, I see that you are sweating profusely, and you obviously came here for me.”

Huang Dan looked over, “I remember you told me in the yard before, you said that you have a Jiejie who loved drawing since she was a child, and that she is about to graduate, and her dream is to be a freelance artist, painting wherever she goes.”

Qi Fang was still smiling, but didn’t speak.

Huang Dan said, “Qi Fang, you don’t have a Jiejie, but you have a Gege, I know all about it.”

The smile on Qi Fang’s face disappeared, “What do you know? Zhang Shuran, don’t say something strange to my dad, it will disturb his rest.”

After saying that, he put down the washbasin and stood up, walked over to the youngster and walked outside.

Huang Dan turned around and followed, and when he stopped, he was already in an open space with no one around.

Qi Fang faced Huang Dan, and his eyes fell on his school uniform, “I never thought you were studying in Daguan High School.”

Huang Dan took out two pieces of paper from his pocket, one with no beard on it, and one with Lin Mao’s face replaced, “I came here for this.”

He didn’t mean to beat around the bush, “Qi Fang, I understand what I said, I’m not joking with you.”

Qi Fang looked like a half-smile, his beard was still there, no different from before, but the things in his eyes were completely different, “Oh, tell me.”

Huang Dan pointed at the face, “This is your Ge. You are afraid that Xia Wei, Lin Mao, Shen Liang, and the others will recognize you, so you grew a beard.”

“With a beard, it will bring some visual disturbance to people.”

Qi Fang stroked his beard, “Zhang Shuran, you are about to take the college entrance examination, are you under too much pressure, what’s wrong with your brain? I have a beard, it’s pure personality, it’s fun.”

Huang Dan didn’t talk nonsense, he brought up the matter of the reservoir that Zhou Jiaojiao said, at that moment, Qi Fang on the opposite side changed his face, and his eyes became terrifying, like a ghost, and there was a monstrous hatred in it.

When Huang Dan mentioned that the young man committed suicide by jumping into water instead of saving people, Qi Fang grabbed his neck and yelled fiercely, “Not suicide, that’s not suicide!”

Huang Dan deliberately provoked Qi Fang, and the effect was very good. He had difficulty breathing and struggled to break the hand on his neck.

Qi Fang pinched hard, his teeth were chattering, and he repeated the phrase “Not suicide”

Huang Dan said intermittently, “Yes……he didn’t commit suicide……he did it to save the three children……the three children lied……they lied……”

The tension in the neck loosened.

Huang Dan knelt down and touched his neck, gasping for breath, tears streaming down his face because of the pain.

“Damn, damn it all!”

Qi Fang has lost control and has gone crazy, almost insane. Before he grew up, the black and white of this world were mixed together, which made him feel ugly and disgusting.

“My Ge saved those people. How did they pay it? They stood on the shore and watched my Ge struggling in the water. No one reached out to help him, no one!”

“My Ge is dead. In order to protect themselves, not only are they not grateful, but they also say that my Ge committed suicide. They are all a bunch of fucking beasts, garbage……”

Huang Dan kept crying, his neck hurt too much.

He was stunned when he heard Qi Fang’s roar, the youngman was already dead. How did Qi Fang know the truth? unless……

After the youngman died, Qi Fang met him.

Qi Fang stared at the crying youngster on the ground, he thought it was funny, he wasn’t crying, what was this guy crying for, “Zhang Shuran, how did you find out?”

Huang Dan stood up, and he wiped away his tears, “I have nothing to do, so I drew pictures in my notebook, and compared you with the faces that were replaced when Lin Mao was a model, I guessed something. And, my deskmate’s grandma is hospitalized, and is next to your father, she has seen you.”

Qi Fang’s face moved strangely, as if he was restraining something, “Have you met Zhou Jiaojiao?”

Huang Dan didn’t deny it, “Well, I’ve heard a lot about it.”

Qi Fang wiped his face and turned his back.

Seeing that he didn’t speak, Huang Dan opened his mouth, which was half truth and half temptation, “After your Ge’s accident, you always had doubts in your heart, but you couldn’t do anything about it until your Ge gave you a dream and said he was going to leave. You don’t want him to go, it’s you who used the method to conjure up the soul, and knew what happened to your Ge back then, and understood the truth of the matter.”

“So you were admitted to the Agricultural University, moved to that floor, and lived with Shen Liang, Xia Wei, and Lin Mao. You played the guitar at night to appease your Ge’s soul. He is in your body. “

Qi Fang laughed.

Huang Dan’s brows twitched, not sure if the last one was true or not, he continued, “You have been to the studio, and the face on the painting was manipulated by you and your Ge together.”

This is also trial and guesswork.

Mr. Lu said that the ghosts in this area are different, juveniles can’t appear, can’t do anything, maybe they need a medium, a vessel or something like that.

Qi Fang laughed again.

Huang Dan went around and stood in front of him, and found that he was already in tears.

Qi Fang did not hide, “Yes, I have been to the studio.”

He smiled, with tears streaming down his face, “Zhang Shuran, what are you going to do? Hand me over to the police? Then tell them that there are ghosts in this world? Those three trash are revenge from ghost? Don’t make fun of me, no one will believe it.”

Huang Dan took out the remaining tissues.

Qi Fang waved away, “That Wang Qi, hasn’t he been investigating Shen Liang? In the end, what did he find out? He didn’t even find out about the reservoir!”

Huang Dan called to him, “Qi Fang.”

Qi Fang’s chest heaved greatly, he wiped his face, his eyes were scarlet, “You know, if nothing happened to my Ge, he would have currently studying his favorite major in university, writing a thesis and preparing to defend……”

Unable to continue, Qi Fang burst into tears.

Huang Dan’s fingers moved slightly, and he raised his arm to pat his back.

Qi Fang cried and asked, “Zhang Shuran, my Ge saved someone, is he wrong?”

Huang Dan said, “Not wrong.”

When Qi Fang heard this answer, he laughed mockingly, “Then why did he end up like that?”

Huang Dan wanted to say that everyone has their own destiny, but those four words cannot be said, they are too ruthless and indifferent, he doesn’t know what to say, this issue involves human nature, and it cannot be explained clearly in a sentence or two.

Qi Fang said, “Don’t know, do you? I don’t know either. If I saw someone falling into the water, I would jump to save it too, hahahahaha, I would save it too, damn it, why is it like that……what the hell is this world……”

He laughed again, leaning forward and backward, with snot and tears all over his face.

Huang Dan looked at Qi Fang laughing, feeling that the laughter was desolate, full of hatred for this world.

Qi Fang stopped laughing and said, “Zhang Shuran, my Ge is gone.”

Huang Dan said, “He went to reincarnate.”

“Yeah, reincarnated.”

Qi Fang’s shoulders trembled, “I told him, don’t be a good person in the next life, and don’t care about others even if they fall in front of him. Guess what he said? That idiot of his said he can’t do nothing, what an idiot……”

Huang Dan sighed.

Qi Fang talked a lot that day, he cried sometimes and laughed sometimes, even though his beard was still there, he showed the side of his age.

After listening to him, Huang Dan asked, “What’s your Ge’s name?”

Qi Fang said, “Qi Zheng.”

Huang Dan wrote down the name, and he contacted Mr. Lu on the way back to school. The next second, the task screen appeared in front of him, and he filled in Qi Fang and Qi Zheng’s name below.

System said, “Host Huang, the mission has been completed, and you will leave when it’s time for you to leave.”

Huang Dan said, “I know.”

After that, Huang Dan was pushed forward by time into Black June just like ordinary high school seniors.

After finishing the last exam, Huang Dan received a call from Chen Shi, “The exam is over.”

“Um.”

Chen Shi said on the other end, “Go back and take a shower, sleep until you wake up naturally, and then tell your parents that you are going out to work.”

Huang Dan said, “Okay, listen to you.”

A week later, Huang Dan took the bus for more than an hour to City H. As soon as he got off the bus, a pair of arms caught him.

Huang Dan stood firm, and the first sentence was, “Tomorrow is my eighteenth birthday, let’s do it.”
