There are several iconic banyan trees planted at the gate of Weirong Public School, with their aerial roots hanging down like curtains of time. The bluestone road from the school gate to the teaching building has been polished by a hundred years of footsteps.
When Jiang Xun stepped on it for the first time, he only felt pain in the soles of his feet. He had a very bad impression of this road. He didn't know it at that time, but he would go back and forth here every day from then on, because he was walking with that person, and the originally dull stone slabs would actually become more lovely.
He was admitted to Rongcheng Public School from another school, not for anything else but because it has the best badminton team in the city and the best admission rate.
He is very tall and stands very straight, which makes him stand out than others. He is also good-looking, so good-looking that Fang Yizhou said that he was "born to be conspicuous".
Although he didn't admit it, he didn't refute it either. (Inner OS: Nonsense, you know what you know when you look in the mirror, and you still need to talk about it.)
Xie Yu is another conspicuous person.
He was the top scorer in the high school entrance examination, with a score of 725 in the entrance examination, and was in a row on the red list.
She looks good and has good grades, but she is cold, like a frozen lake. Anyone who comes close will have only one result - freezing.
The first time Jiang Xun saw the word "Xieyu" was on the red list on the bulletin board. At that time, he just thought: This person's score is so high. Abnormal.
Later the name began to appear repeatedly. The red list for the monthly exam, the red list for the mid-term exam, and the red list for the final exam are always at the top.
Someone in the cafeteria said, "Xie Yu is number one in grade again this time."
Someone in the corridor said, "Xie Yu wore a black sweater today."
Someone in the post forum said, "I captured Xie Yu, his profile is amazing."
Jiang Xun didn't listen deliberately, but these sounds penetrated into his ears like the wind.
One day, Fang Yizhou suddenly asked him: "Are you particularly interested in that Xie Yu?"
Jiang Xun was drinking water and almost choked: "What?"
"Every time you hear his name, you look up."
"I didn't."
"You do." Fang Yizhou looked at him, "You just didn't realize it yourself."
Jiang Xun swallowed the water and said nothing.
He didn't know how to explain it.
But when that name appears, he will listen to it unconsciously. Just like when someone shouts while walking on the road, you will subconsciously turn around.
That's all. He told himself this.
But that night, as he was lying in bed, he suddenly remembered the name on the red list. Gold characters on red paper occupy a line of their own.
He thought for a long time, then turned over, pulled the quilt up to his chin, and closed his eyes.
There are cicadas chirping outside the window, one after another, tirelessly.
What he didn't know was that he would really get along with that person much later.
And that person's name will stay in his life for a long, long time.
