No.70 days

Shao Wu really wanted to touch Yang Shuyi's face, but his fingers trembled and he held back.

That night, they parted by the river, Shao Wu went home, and Yang Shuyi went to the Internet cafe.

The next morning, Shao Wu told his mother that his classmate was celebrating his birthday today and he was going to a restaurant for dinner, so he wouldn't be back at noon.

My mother seemed to be thinking about something, and she let out a casual "hmm" while frying eggs.

After school at noon, Shao Wu hurriedly ate a bowl of small noodles and went straight to the Internet cafe.This Internet cafe is located in a shopping mall that just opened in Yongchuan last month. The prices are high and there are few people, especially at noon.Shao Wu stuffed his school uniform into his schoolbag and paid for the two hours of Internet access.

He clicked on the browser and entered the words "university tuition" in the search box.

In just two hours, Shao Wu kept browsing the web while taking notes with pen and paper.It turns out that the tuition fees of different schools are different, some are tens of thousands of dollars a year, and some are thousands of dollars a year.Shao Wu thought to himself that according to Yang Shuyi's current situation, there is still hope for a second school, so he focused on recording the tuition and accommodation fees of several second schools. In addition, remembering that their high school had student loans, Shao Wu checked again Information on college student loans.

Shao Wu even secretly calculated his own living expenses. His father said jokingly before that a boy would fall in love after he went to college, and it would cost a lot of money. He would have to pay 3000 yuan a month.Shao Wu thought that if he saved a little, it would be enough to divide half of the 3000 yuan into Yang Yi's living expenses.He took out a student loan and worked part-time, how could he not make up enough for the tuition?But how to persuade Yang Shuyi to accept his money is another problem...

Shao Wu thought about it, and finally his mood became clearer. If he helps Yang Shuyi, he will be able to raise enough money for college.

In the evening, after evening self-study, Shao Wu leaned over as usual: "Yang Shuyi, have you read the math paper left by Old Chen?"

Yang Shuyi raised his eyebrows, as if surprised: "You still want to give me a lecture?"

Shao Wu nodded heavily.

"Let's talk about it then," Yang Shuyi smiled, "It's just a waste of your time."

The two walked out of the school together again. Because of the rain two days ago, the night sky tonight is exceptionally clear, and even the moonlight is clearer and brighter than before.Shao Wu pushed his bicycle and walked slowly along the river with Yang Shuyi, who was eating crispy noodles.

"Are you going home tonight?" Shao Wu asked.

"No return."

"Not yet?"

"Well, go to the Internet cafe after eating." Yang Shuyi said.

"Yang Shuyi," Shao Wu stopped, his tone became serious, "I want to discuss something with you."

Yang Shuyi: "What?"

"It's just...you can go to college if you have no money at home. I went to check at noon today, and now I have a student loan. I will give you the money when you go to school, and you will return it to the bank after you work. Also, my dad said wait When I go to university, they will give me [-] a month for living expenses, and I can—”

"Shao Wu," Yang Shuyi interrupted him, "So you fell asleep in geography class this afternoon?"

Because there was no nap at noon, Shao Wu fell asleep in the first geography class in the afternoon, and was punished by the teacher to stand for the whole class.

"Uh, yes..."

Yang Shuyi nodded and continued to chew his crispy noodles.After a while, he suddenly asked, "Is it important to you whether I go to college or not?"

Shao Wu was stunned for a moment.

"I know you are kind, thank you," Yang Shuyi rolled up the bag of crispy noodles and stuffed it into his pocket, and said seriously, "I'm just a little...surprised, because no one at home cares whether I go to college or not. .”

After several seconds, Shao Wu stammered and said, "Because, we are friends."

Yang Shuyi curled his mouth, as if he was quite satisfied with the answer: "Thank you."

"..."

So Shao Wu still gave Yang Shuyi lectures, still typed the draft like a standard answer, and still took the trouble to chase him and ask "Did you understand that question?"But Yang Shuyi was still the same, neither refusing nor active, he just listened to what Shao Wu said.Shao Wu thought it was good, at least Yang Shuyi didn't say "don't waste your time" again.

But sometimes Shao Wu couldn't help but suspect that Yang Shuyi wasn't just trying to cooperate with him, was he?Maybe he still doesn't want to go to college, maybe in his opinion, student loans and Shaowu's living expenses are not marginal things at all, and he just cooperates on the surface.

Fortunately, the days at this time were filled with one class after another, one test paper after another, and wrong questions one after another, Shao Wu didn't have much time to spend in random thinking.After two more monthly exams and a parent-teacher meeting, Shao Wu suddenly realized that it was winter.

He and Yang Shuyi have been classmates for four months.

Yongchuan rarely snows in winter, but it often rains, making it extremely cold and humid.In this winter, more and more students are late, and more and more students bring breakfast to the classroom.

One morning when it was raining lightly, Shao Wu packed two servings of small noodles. Fearing that the road would be cold, he took off his woolen coat to wrap the noodles and put them in the cart basket.When he arrived in the classroom, the small noodles were still steaming white, but Shao Wu himself was blown through by the cold wind and rain.He sneezed three times in a row, and walked to Yang Shuyi's table with the noodles.

"Have you written the English composition yet?"

Yang Shuyi was sleeping on his stomach, his voice was vague: "Class representative, you are too dedicated."

Shao Wu knew that he went to the Internet cafe last night, and he didn't expect him to be able to write, so he put the noodles on the table: "Eat quickly, eat and write."

Anyway, the students often help each other buy breakfast. Whoever’s home is closer to the best soup dumpling shop in Yongchuan, and whose red oil chao shou at the gate of the neighborhood is especially delicious, naturally I have to bring a few copies for the students.

Yang Shuyi opened his eyes, sniffed, and said with a smile, "It smells so good."

"Then eat quickly..." Shao Wu looked at Yang Shuyi's side face, couldn't help it suddenly, stretched out his index finger and poked his chin: "It's time to shave." Yang Shuyi's hard stubble stuck on his finger Belly, in fact, his hands were frozen and stiff, and he hasn't recovered yet, and he doesn't feel much.

But his fingertips still trembled secretly, as if he had been electrocuted.

Yang Shuyi held his chopsticks and lowered his head to eat the noodles.Shao Wu was heartbroken because of his behavior that was no different from a thief, Yang Shuyi suddenly glanced at Shao Wu and grabbed his hand.

"Why is it so cold?" Yang Shuyi said, "I'll warm you up."
