Chapter 21
Chapter 21
Tang Cheng was depressed for several days, but he didn't cry anymore.
He said he didn't want to like Fu Yixing anymore.
This is his promise to his mother.
But not wanting to like and not liking are never two different things.
Adults always like to say things against their will, just like my aunt said that she doesn’t mind if Tang Cheng might be with a man, Tang Cheng is about to become an adult, forced to grow up by reality, immersing a young heart in cold water , began to choose to give up.
He always smiles, with the corners of his mouth curled up, his eyes squinted, and his voice is high-spirited. I understand how sad he is when he looks happy.
What I can understand, how can my aunt not understand, but this time she didn't give Tang Cheng a chance to repent, she watched Tang Cheng clumsily conceal the pain, and no longer let him do "wrong" things .
I always feel that there should not be a game relationship between parents and children. They have the closest relationship in the world, and it hurts people's hearts to decide whether to win or lose.
But on the question of "can I like Fu Yixing", Tang Cheng still lost, just because his mother was sick.
I was supposed to be the one who could stand with him, but I didn't give him any support.
Seeing that Tang Cheng was not feeling well, I realized that rationality is not the same as correctness.
And Fu Yixing, whom he likes, is still in the training camp and knows nothing about these things.
The spring night was still chilly and chilly. The building was tall and the wind was blowing sharply. It entered the room through the cracks in the window. The curtains were blown up slightly and then slowly fell down. I sat on a chair and watched the night sky. wind.
For a while, no one was having a good time.
My aunt was ill, Fu Yixing was injured first and then was pointed at by others, Tang Cheng was surprised that he liked brother Xing but was forced to let go, and myself, I have not yet become a clear and complete man.
Life shouldn't be like this.
Admittedly it was unpleasant, but it wasn't supposed to be this way—a continuous pounding of my surroundings.
I only want the people around me to be happy, but this wish seems too big.
Mr. Fu will have an exam tomorrow.
Want to hear good news about him, he is the kind of person who can bring about a turnaround.
I held the phone in my hand, wanting to send him something, but I was afraid that it would appear that I was being sentimental if he didn't turn it on.
The screen went dark a few times and then I turned it on again, on and off, repeatedly, and finally I locked the screen.
He has that strength, and he doesn't necessarily need my blessing. I can't disturb his study just because I have unexplainable emotions in my heart.
I want to put the things on the table upside down, just when the screen is about to touch the table.
The night sky is bright and the stars are twinkling.
is my lock screen.
A message popped up.
It was from Fu Yixing.
"Do you still count on what you said?"
"Look at the sentence."
I think he meant that I granted his wish.
Fu Yixing is much more stable than boys of the same age. He is only serious like a child when he wants to be rewarded, but I think this is very cute.
"You said grant me a wish."
"This sentence always counts. As long as you can get the province one."
"Okay, wait for me to come back. It's getting late, go to bed early, good night."
"Don't do it too late, work hard tomorrow."
He replied, "Yeah."
I didn't reply anymore, I lay down on the bay window and read that conversation several times, it was very cool by the window, but there seemed to be fragrance in the wind.At that time, I boasted and said "I will give you everything I can give you". There is not much I can give him, so what would he want?
The next day, the physical education class was not over yet, so I went back to the classroom early. There were not many people in the classroom. Gu Yang hurried back and pulled me all the way to the big screen at the school gate.
Lu Yao raised his head, looking at the screen and watch at the same time.
"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming." Gu Yang was panting a bit, unable to speak clearly.
Yuanyuan dragged me to his side, "Keke, look! Look, look, look, look!"
I looked up, almost blinded by the screen.
The entire LED screen was bright red with no words on it, and after a few seconds it turned into a beautiful scene in the school submitted by the photography agency.
I didn't understand what they wanted me to see when they pulled me over like this, so I asked, "What's so interesting about this?"
"You are such a smart person, why can't you figure it out! Why is it red! It's red!" He leaned forward and scolded me.
"why?"
"Think about it, think about it carefully." He looked like he was dying of anxiety.
Gu Yang said quickly, "Because this is the background picture of the happy news, Mr. Fu's name will be printed on it in a few days!"
He slapped Gu Yang with a slap, and cursed: "You can do it!"
I think it's a little funny, the school is not in a hurry to put an inexplicable background picture on display at the entrance, but, it seems true, the good news used to be red background.
"Not at all, the horoscope hasn't been written yet, why release it now?"
Like the emperor's new clothes.
"Do you understand, there is a word called Sao Bao?", Yuan Yuan's tone was full of pride, and I was suddenly infected by him with a little pride.
Gu Yang said: "Isn't our school's mathematics competition always inferior to that of the provincial middle school? When handing in homework, I heard chatter in the math group, this year Fu is always the No. [-] seed, and some teachers think that not only can he enter the provincial team, but he might go to the national competition and get a gold medal back."
Tsk-Tut-Tut-Tut-tut-dubbing Gu Yang, I was startled by their battle.
At first, I only knew that Fu Yixing was powerful, but now I know that he is even more powerful than I imagined.
I couldn't help admiring from the bottom of my heart, Mr. Fu is indeed the miraculous Mr. Fu.
"Wow, if Mr. Fu can make it to the provincial team, many schools will sign a line with him. If he wins the gold medal, Tsinghua University and Peking University will compete to admit him. Next year's college entrance examination will not be required." Yuan Yuan's eyes are full of envy.
I pretended to cough twice, and cleared my throat: "Don't give milk for now, what if the milk spoils for you?"
I want to pretend to be serious, but I know I must not be serious at all right now, a seed in my heart seems to be breaking out of the ground.
I will not be surprised at what Fu Yixing can become and how much he can achieve. He can become whatever he wants to be.
Because he is Fu Yixing.
In the next few days, we all looked at that screen. When Mr. Fu came back, he still hadn’t understood what we were staring at. I, Gu Yang and Yuan Yuan all mysteriously refused to explain to him.
On the day he came to class, I asked him if it was difficult, and he said it was okay, the questions were well-formed, and some thinking directions were revealed in the training camp.
He can go to class normally without being surprised, eat with me every day, and go to and from school as usual.
But I couldn't help myself.
Of course I am not the only one who is anxious, Chen Kai is also very anxious, and other participants who want to win prizes are all suffocated.
Chen Kai came to Fu Yixing more frequently.
He always asks, which question, is it feasible to use a certain way of thinking.
Ask Fu Yixing how he thinks he did in the exam.
Do you think the title is a bit tricky?
At the beginning, Fu Yixing would patiently analyze the questions with him. He asked too many questions, and Mr. Fu was too lazy to resist.
I don't bother to talk to Chen Kai here, I want to understand his feeling of being embarrassed because of a result, but he always asks the same question, and the questions are the same for several days, which makes people feel Some neurotic.
Fu Yixing has explained to him many times how to do a certain question, and even prepared their handouts during the training camp and pointed them out to him, saying that they used the same routine.
Chen Kai's face was originally white, but these days it was even more white like a ghost, with black bags under his eyes, it looked a little scary.
The school didn't suppress the excitement, as if every middle-aged person liked to brag about how good their children were, the teachers set up a huge game, and for the ultimate show off, they went every step of the way.The red background on the big screen at the entrance gradually became more than just a red background. Words such as "Happy News" and "Students of our school have achieved excellent results in the 23rd Mathematical Olympiad in Province S" gradually appeared on it.
The screen changed every day, and finally attracted more students to stop.
It turned out that it was really the meaning of the show that Lu Yuanyuan understood.
On the day my aunt was discharged from the hospital, Tang Cheng went back to school.
There seemed to be many tricky coincidences in fate. On that day, when the results of the competition came out, Fu Yixing's name suddenly appeared on the screen.
He did not disappoint.
I know he is a first prize, and not just an ordinary first prize.Other people's certificates are a piece of cardboard, and he also got an extra medal, which he may pin on in the future to represent S province in Beijing.
Tang Cheng also saw the news, and he sent me a WeChat message asking me if this award is very good.
I said super awesome, the school leaders have been brewing for several days in order to show off this.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha how did you brew it?"
Old man Wang was talking about pipa on the podium, and I hid my phone under the table and secretly talked to Tang Cheng about the LED screen at the school gate.
"I didn't expect the school leader to do such a mentally handicapped thing hahahahaha"
I think my expression should be happy. When I looked up, I saw Old Man Wang glaring at me.
No one would purse their lips and smile when they heard "the desolate sound does not seem to be forward, and the whole audience is crying after hearing it." I immediately frowned as if I was listening to the class seriously.
"Who are you chatting with, laughing so happily?" Gu Yang squeezed me against the wall while old man Wang was writing on the blackboard.
"my brother."
"You still have a brother? Why have you never heard of it before?"
"Didn't you tell me, he came to see me, not my brother or cousin, I told him about Boss Fu's award."
Gu Yang nodded, reacted for a while, and then asked: "He also knows Mr. Fu?"
"It's like the childhood sweetheart relationship."
"That's a coincidence."
I couldn't help but smiled again. Seeing that I didn't reply, Tang Cheng sent several emojis over. I wanted to say to him, "It's a pity that you didn't come to school a few days ago, otherwise you would have seen that screen." I thought about it Thought I'd delete it.
During dinner, Tang Cheng announced to us the result of the communication between him and his class teacher, and it is expected to fly to the United States in August.
It was rare for my uncle to show a smiling face, and my aunt picked up a few extra chopsticks and spare ribs for Tang Cheng.
"Let your mother go with you, and Ren Ke too, you guys have a good time over there."
Tang Cheng is very happy, but I don't think I can accompany him.
In the summer vacation of the second year of high school, there must be make-up classes.
The atmosphere of this meal was particularly harmonious, but I felt uncomfortable all over.
Tang Cheng is too abnormal, the string of hahaha during the day is abnormal, and it is also abnormal to go abroad happily at night.
I want him to tell me what he thinks, and I think maybe he is really sensible.
In growing up, it is inevitable that there will be pain that needs to be borne alone.
When I was doing my homework at night, there was a sudden explosion in the class group.
Boss Xie asked in the group: "Are there any classmates who are with Chen Kai?"
Everyone said no.
Boss Xie added: "If any students receive information from Chen Kai, please let me know immediately."
Everyone in the group said yes.
After all, this is a group for assigning homework and class work, and no one dares to gossip in front of the class teacher.
Gu Yang and Yuan Yuan said in our small group that Chen Kai probably only won the third prize because of the competition, and he couldn't accept the reality and ran away from home.
The third prize is equivalent to a "thank you for participating", which is something everyone knows well.
It was as if the school would type Fu Yixing's name on the screen, and mention by the way "xxx and other students won the second prize", but kept silent about who won the third prize in the math competition.
Where there is competition, there are rules and reality. The organizing committee has hypocritically considered human relationships so that all participants can get something. But no university cares about the third prize winners, so our school will not praise them either. them.
I asked in the group, "Did Chen Kai come to school today? Didn't he come home after school?"
Probably because the ending has been decided, he no longer comes to our class to look for Fu Yixing.
"Come on, I seemed to see him when I went to the bathroom." Gu Yang said, "I was also talking about this in my freshman class. Someone was in the same class as him and said that he didn't talk much today. , then he is coming."
"He won't be overwhelmed, adolescent boys are very fragile."
This time, I think it makes sense to say that the road is far away.
I asked, "Have you called the police?"
Yuan Yuan said: "Ke Ke, have you forgotten that his father is a policeman?"
I really forgot.
To me, Chen Kai is just more of a classmate than a stranger. If he hadn't met Fu Yixing, I wouldn't have known the existence of this person, so I didn't care about him.
Much of the world's misfortune is rooted in indifference, and I don't really want that to happen.
I opened the address book and called Police Officer Hong, Dad's partner.
Hua An was in the jurisdiction of the third brigade of the traffic police, and the team members might meet him when they were patrolling.
Tang Cheng was standing at the door of my room when I hung up the phone, "Is something wrong?"
"A classmate ran away from home. I want my dad's friends from the traffic police team to help find him."
He responded and stood at the door without moving.
"Want to chat?"
Tang Cheng nodded.
I flipped through my homework and told him to wait for me for a while, there is still a little left to write.
He still didn't move, and we were separated by a few meters, just looking at each other.
I couldn't stand his pitiful eyes, and I was almost ready to give up the last few English readings.
Tang Cheng said, "I'm sorry to bother you." He left and closed the door lightly.
Looking at the densely packed English letters in the exercise book, I feel very uncomfortable.
Why should Tang Cheng apologize?
He didn't do anything wrong.
Why should I make him wait a while? It's just a few reading comprehension articles, and it doesn't have to be done right now.
I'm afraid he has been waiting for me to finish my homework.
That's why it showed up at the door when I called.
He thought I was fine.
I couldn't help but sighed. Could it be that Tangcheng's priority in my heart is not as high as homework? I'm still not a human being.
I didn't really understand what the last few readings were about. It seemed to be about technology, economy, environment, and there was a short story, and I didn't understand what it meant.
I wanted to force myself to read the words one by one, but Tang Cheng's "sorry" was all in my mind.
Tang Cheng is only 17 years old this year, who is he sorry for?
He's obviously nice to everyone.
