No.70 days

In April 2011, it rained a lot in Chongqing.

Until the end of the month, the sky was still cloudy day after day, and there was a faint smell of decay in the air.As May Day approached, the students went home and went out to play, the school seemed a little empty.

The last class before the holiday was English literature, and the teacher was an uncle in his sixties, a fat man and a very kind person.With 10 minutes left before the end of class, he turned off the PPT and said slowly, "That's it for now. Happy holidays, everyone."

"Happy holiday!" The Chengdu girl in the class smiled coquettishly, "Thank you teacher."

The students packed their things and filed out of the classroom.

"Are you going home?" Ning Xiao chased up and asked Shao Wu.

"No more."

"Huh? Going out to play?"

"I don't know..." Shao Wu turned on the phone screen, glanced at it, and put the phone back in his trouser pocket, "I guess I'm going around the city."

Ning Xiao has always been straightforward: "You won't go to Southwest University again?"

"No - my classmate is looking for me, let's go first."

"Oh, bye."

Ning Xiao is Shao Wu's roommate and one of the seven boys in the English Department.It's funny to say that there are only seven boys in Shaowu's English department this year, but the seniors still said enviously, "You guys are lucky this year, and you have transferred two boys."

Indeed, the proportion of men and women in the English Department has always been unbalanced, and the scale is small. There were no more than ten men in the previous two cohorts.Shao Wu was lucky this year, the two boys didn't have enough marks, so they were transferred to the English department.In this school that is good at science and engineering, if the score is too low, it will indeed be transferred to the School of Foreign Languages.

So when the military training started, Shao Wu became a legend in the entire School of Foreign Languages.

"631, fuck, what do you think?"

"You... Could it be that you didn't pass the exams in the first few volunteers, so you fell to us?"

"Don't be angry if I say something, hey, if I repeat it for you, you might be admitted to Peking University next year! It's really a loss for you to come to us with your score, it's a loss."

Shao Wu has heard such words countless times, and his answer is only two: I want to be closer to home; I like English.

Since he was admitted, he has been using these two sentences to answer his parents, his old class, and his high school classmates—including Yang Shuyi.

After a long time, no one asked any more questions.Ning Xiao was the only one who was blunt and carefree, and would always say something during the holidays, "Hey, your home is so close, why don't you go home?"

Shao Wu had no choice but to make up all kinds of reasons: to do homework, parents to go on a business trip, to go to play with classmates...

Over time, Ning Xiao asked again, is your girlfriend at Southwest University?Why do you always go there?

Shao Wu said, my buddy, iron buddy.

Ning smiled and shrugged, oh, you two have such a good relationship, I have a high school classmate who is in our school, and the fuck never wants to play with me...

When I walked out of the teaching building, I found that the sky was raining again, and the ground was misty, like mist condensed into water.Shao Wu held up his umbrella and checked his schoolbag: ID card, bus card, wallet, mobile phone, MP3, earphones.I brought everything together.

Take the No. 551 bus from the University City Academy of Fine Arts Station, ten stops, and get off at Southwest University South Gate Station.It will take more than an hour if there is no traffic jam, Chongqing is really too big.

After getting in the car, Shao Wu picked a single seat and sat down, plugged in the earphones to listen to music, and at the same time sent a text message to Yang Shuyi: "I'm getting in the car."

After Jay Chou sang "Sunny Day", Yang Shuyi replied: "Okay, send me a text message when you arrive, I'm in the library."

"Okay." After thinking for a while, Shao Wu added: "Have you had dinner? I haven't eaten yet."

Yang Shuyi: "Not yet, let's eat together."

Shao Wu grinned at the phone: "OK."

It is not so easy to find Yang Shuyi in normal times. From the beginning of his freshman year, Yang Shuyi worked as an agent of China Mobile in the school.In the first semester of his freshman year, he took another job in the computer city. At first, he was doing odd jobs, and later he was able to repair computers and do sales.

At the end of the freshman year, Yang Shuyi also won the National Award.

So he is always busy.

It was already dark when we arrived at the station, and the rain became more dense. It seemed that Chongqing always rained at night.Shao Wu shuttled around the campus familiarly, and arrived at the entrance of the library in a short while.Holding an umbrella, he texted Yang Shuyi with one hand: "I'm at the door."

After 472 seconds, Shao Wu saw Yang Shuyi.

Yang Shuyi wore a plain black sweater, blue jeans, white Anta sneakers, and an umbrella with "China Mobile" printed on it, and walked down the steps quickly.He is still so tall and thin and straight, his hair has grown a bit and looks a little messy.Shao Wu thought he was funny, but the last time he saw Yang Shuyi was thirteen days ago, so why is it so fresh?

But it was very hopeless, just watching Yang Shuyi walk towards him, his heart started beating again.

"Let's go," Yang Shuyi smiled at Shao Wu, "Go eat first, what do you want to eat?"

"It will be all right."

"Grilled fish?"

"Okay."

Yang Shuyi looked at Shao Wu: "Let's make it a treat first, and I will be paid today."

Shao Wu smiled: "Okay."

Yang Shuyi asked again: "Why did you think of changing the set meal?"

"Using this now, the traffic is not enough."

"800M is not enough?"

"Um……"

"Actually, it's the same if you change it at your school," Yang Shuyi said, "The price of this package is uniform in the whole city, so it's rare to make a trip."

Shao Wu thought to himself, then why should I come to you?

"It's the same anyway," Shao Wu put away his umbrella and walked under Yang Shuyi's umbrella, "Then support your work."
