[R18] So and so – “Someone” 94, in a hurry [English]
bySheng Wang once imagined meeting Jiang Tian in a certain subject final examination room or summer camp.
He could imagine the scene, and even the weather was cloudy and sunny, and whether the people around him were in a hurry or not were very specific, but he couldn’t imagine what he would say.Maybe he would call me “brother”, maybe he would say hello in a pretentious manner, maybe… he would feel sad before he even opened his mouth.
Later, when I learned that Jiang Tian had gone abroad, there was no room for imagination anymore.
Shengwang devoted all his time to the competition and was so busy that he never gave himself the chance to relax and idle.He thinks he is smart, but he is far from a genius.It took a lot of time to touch the tiger’s butt at first, and it became even more difficult in the second half of the competition.
Compared with ordinary classmates, he can still be jokingly called “bad guy”, and even among the top people in the province and even the country, he is just mediocre.
Therefore, his mathematics and physics were limited to the first prize at the provincial level and the national league, but his chemistry entered the selection camp. When he was in good condition, he was lucky enough to join the national training team, and he got the qualification for promotion.
Parents and teachers are very happy, but he seems to be stepping in the void, and he can’t get to where he is. It’s like he’s been pushed forward by some kind of emotion, and he doesn’t dare to stop or look around.One day, a red line suddenly hit his chest. The people next to him cheered and told him, “Congratulations, you have reached the finish line.”
The independent enrollment thresholds of major universities are always high. Class A’s performance in the competition this year was generally good. Everyone submitted applications and materials everywhere with the prize in hand, and almost everyone got several selection places.
Gao Tianyang’s certificate is a single seedling, and his grade is not very high. At that time, he always joked, “I will become the only left-behind child.”Sheng Wang couldn’t stand it anymore, so he spent a few days online with his notebook in hand, and found a few famous schools with suitable conditions. He helped him revise the essays and English materials for the preliminary review, and handed them in. Unexpectedly, he actually passed.
During that month, Gao Tianyang wanted to kowtow to him three times every day and make breakfast for him.Lao Gao has a sharper mind than a cannon and doesn’t think too much. He always brings Shengwang whatever he thinks is delicious.I have been carrying hamburgers and cokes for more than 20 days. I ate so much that Sheng Wang felt full automatically when he saw him.
By the end of the month, the two hundred and five finally realized that they were afraid of eating.Switched to Chinese style.He tried hard to recall the breakfast Sheng Wang had had before, got up early for the first time and went to the canteen to queue up, and entered the classroom with tofu, eggs and a red can of milk…
Then Shengwang didn’t say a word the whole day except “thank you” when he got breakfast.
Around the winter vacation, students who passed the preliminary review of independent admissions and the comprehensive ability test rushed to take exams in various universities.At that time, He Jin was reluctant to sign leave notes. Most of the seats in the classroom were empty, and there were no classes to be scheduled. He often had to study by himself all day long.
One day it rained heavily and it had been gloomy since morning. The classroom was lit with cold white lights.Sheng Wang stepped on the table bar, with the book spread out on his knees, and he was brushing up on the questions one after another. Suddenly, he heard someone knocking on the table.
he was suddenly stunned, almost confused with time, as if he had returned to a day when he first came to the affiliated high school.It was also raining heavily, and he was lying on the table with a fever. Jiang Tian ran to the infirmary, carrying a bag of medicine and talking to Gao Tianyang, and seemed to knock on the table like this.
Sheng Wang looked away from the question, looked up in panic, and saw monitor Li Yu holding a form and asking him: “When will you leave school?”
he was silent for a moment and said: “I don’t know, probably April.”
Carp registered an approximate time on the form, and then looked at him a little worriedly: “You look so bad, are you sick?”
“No.” Sheng Wang pointed at the top of his head with his pen and said, “It’s illuminated by the light.”
The carp walked away for a long time before he lowered his eyes.
After a long time, Sheng Wang suddenly remembered.The day Jiang Tian took the medicine and talked to Gao Tianyang, he didn’t knock on his desk.The time I knocked on his desk, he was not sick.
It’s only been more than a year, but he can’t remember clearly…
he sat in silence for a while, hurriedly took out the headphones from the depths of his school bag and put them into his ears. He randomly found a heavy metal rock playlist and turned the volume up to the maximum.
The classroom is too deserted.
The Affiliated High School has achieved a lot this year, and has received offers from a large number of colleges and universities for admission and score reductions.Chili Pepper got admission to the first-tier school in the same school as Shengwang, Song Sirui and the others were admitted to the intensive classes of the top universities in the province, and Carp rushed to Shanghai.
Gao Tianyang was probably born into drama, and his independent enrollment was met with twists and turns.He originally performed well and got a 15-point discount, which is already impressive considering the full score of 480.He’s parents were about to be happy, but when he reached the bridge, he regretted it and gave up with a wave of his hand.
“My dad was so angry that he searched for a feather duster.” Gao Tianyang said proudly: “After I was in elementary school, I vowed to engage in Buddhist education, but this time I almost failed.”
Sheng Wang asked him: “Why don’t you want a discount? Did you hold back your big move in the college entrance examination?”
“I don’t want to go to that school anymore. I suddenly realized that I should go crazy while I’m young.” Gao Tianyang said, “Wait, my buddy will go to Beijing to accompany you.”
The group of students who were recommended left the school in mid-April. Sheng Wang was always calm, while Song Sirui and the others were going crazy.On the day I left, I wanted to create some atmosphere, so I threw the mountain of test papers I had accumulated in high school from the top floor. The white papers were floating all over the floor like snow. Then I was scolded by the classmates downstairs who had not yet escaped from the sea of misery all morning, and was invited by the Political and Education Office to have a last cup of tea.
Sheng Wang was innocently implicated and was punished to scan the test papers with those idiots. He was not allowed to leave until he finished scanning.Then the group of two hundred and fifty from Class A rushed downstairs while laughing and cursing, and helped them.
Yang Jing rolled her eyes and asked someone to bring a scrap collection truck to pile up papers for them.
It was already a bit hot that season, and after cleaning up the mess on the floor, Sheng Wang was sweating a little.He bought a bottle of ice water at the Xile convenience store where the clerk had changed, and took off his covering school uniform jacket.
The moment he threw his coat over his shoulders and walked out of the school gate with water in hand, the bustling crowd of people passed by on the street in front of him.
he The flustered and restless teenage years have come to an end in panic, once in a lifetime, there is no turning back.
Because of the recommendation, Shengwang spent twice as much time that summer as others, but he didn’t stay at home for long.In fact, since Jiang Tian left, he rarely goes home.
It would be false to say that there is no resentment, but it is more to avoid it.As long as he returns to the house in Baima Lane, he can’t help but think of many things.
He went to find Brother Chu who was running a tutoring class, and took over what Jiang Tian had done. He used the holidays to save some money for himself, and untied all the bank cards Sheng Mingyang had given him.
Brother Chu has developed well in the past two years. He doesn’t want to just focus on the high school attached to it, so he has opened branches in several districts in the city.He said that the scale is now large and the demand is also great. He asked Shengwang University not to forget he while working hard, to help him when he has time, and to be a golden sign for him.
Sheng Wang said: “For the sake of our good relationship, I can give you a discount and not charge you an advertising contract fee.”
Brother Chu laughed loudly and gave him a big red envelope before school started.
Compared to a businessman, he is more like a gangster. He is righteous in everything he does, but the way to express his righteousness is relatively simple, which is money.He likes Sheng Wang’s character very much, and he is easy to talk to, and he is always very generous when paying.This became the confidence for Sheng Wang to be independent from Sheng Mingyang for a long time in his subsequent college career.
Of course, being independent alone is not enough.
The first time Sheng Mingyang discovered that his son no longer spent his money was after Sheng Wang went to Beijing.He rarely checks the status of those cards. He only kept an eye on them for a while when the relationship between Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian was discovered.Leng Buding found that the spending stopped a long time ago. He was a little surprised, but he didn’t take it seriously.
He thinks he knows Shengwang very well, and knows that his son is used to spending a lot of money. He always pays the bill for everyone he eats with. However, he has a somewhat arrogant and lazy personality. At most, he untied his bank card out of a momentary whim, out of rebellion against some past events.If you can’t hold on for long, you will be tied back with your head hanging down.
But he waited for a long time and did not wait for the so-called “expected”.
What really made him feel that his son was gradually out of control was when he was in his sophomore year at Shengwang. During a vacation, he went to Beijing on a business trip. During this period, he contacted a few old business friends to have a meal together, and invited Shengwang to join him.While chatting during the dinner, he discovered that Sheng Wang’s major had changed, but he actually knew nothing about it.
At first, Shengwang said that he got the qualification through competition, so the major he chose was naturally related to the competition subjects.But he only stayed in that major for one year before switching to economics, and also completed a double major in law.
Sheng Mingyang asked him what he thought, but he didn’t explain any reason. He just said: “If you don’t like it, just change it.”
Sheng Mingyang himself did not agree with this behavior of changing after a few days of study, and always felt it was a bit hasty. However, he did not know much about Sheng Wang’s original major, and could not give a reason to support the haste, so he had to give up.
Sheng Wang sometimes encounters Chili Pepper in class. She is majoring in law.If time is right after class, we will have lunch or dinner together.But instead of two of us, there are three——
Despite the threat of feather dusters, Gao Tianyang performed smoothly in the college entrance examination and successfully fulfilled his promise to “come to Beijing to accompany Shengwang”.The school is not far from Shengwang. You can go left or right and you can get there in a few bus stops.
It’s just that the area between Baofuji Bridge and Wudaokou is congested all year round during rush hour. He often sits on the bus scratching his head, frantically sending WeChat messages to the group saying “We’ll be there soon” and “I see the door”, while getting hopelessly stuck in the traffic.So the three of us are never on time for lunch and dinner.
Gao Tianyang changed his bike in anger.There is always a “demon wind” blowing in that area, and people often go crazy when they arrive.
Sheng Wang initially believed he was evil and was quite touched.Later, the more I looked at it, the more something was wrong, and finally one day I pulled him and asked: “Old Gao, tell the truth, are you coming to Beijing to accompany me or to chase peppers?”
Gao Tianyang has been in the world for twenty years. For the first time, his face turned as red as a monkey’s butt and he said, “What are you talking about? Of course I’m with you!”
Shengwang let out a “heh” and said, “Fuck you.”
Gao Tianyang’s stupid spirit lasted for two years, and he finally succeeded in winning the Chili Peppers on the tail of his sophomore year.So the three-person team turned into a young couple and a single dog.
Sheng Wang was pleased that Erbai Wu had enlightened him, but at the same time he felt that he was a fool.
One time I met a friend from the student union at dinner. The man couldn’t help but laugh at Sheng Wang’s disgusted face as he was being fed dog food. He joked: “What are you afraid of? You’ll find it! With your face, if you just say you want to fall in love, girls from the same department can rush over to you. Are you afraid that you won’t piss them off to death?”
He meant it as a joke, but he didn’t expect that after saying this, several people at the table fell into a strange silence after looking at each other.Gao Tianyang squeezed his eyes at him so frequently that it looked like he was twitching.He didn’t know what he said wrongly, so he drank the soup while watching his nose and mouth.Sheng Wang lowered his eyes as he ate his meal, and there was nothing strange on his face.He swallowed the food in his mouth and took another sip of ice water. Then he smiled at his friend and said, “It makes sense.”
Lai Chili was biting a straw and added: “He is so busy, how can he have any leisure time.”
The person from the student union said “oh” twice and said, “That’s true.”
College is different from high school. You don’t just have to answer questions and compete and get through to the end.But Shengwang still keeps himself very busy, including double majors, student unions, activity competitions, and projects with teachers.It seems like I can’t live without filling my 24 hours to the fullest.
When people are busy, time always flies by quickly.
Time in high school is measured by days, but time in college becomes measured by years.It seems like I just slept a few times and opened my eyes a few times, and the year suddenly came to an end.
One second he was a new student, and the next second he became a senior.
He was blocked by a girl behind the building, and when he heard the other party calling him “senior”, he felt like he was in a trance.At that time, he had secured an enviable job. Apart from writing papers and completing formalities, he rarely went back to school.
The girl is not tall. When she smiles, she has pear dimples on the corners of her lips, which is very sweet.She said: “I am also from the law school. I always thought that you and senior Li Jia were a couple and I didn’t dare to confess. Later I found out that she had a boyfriend, so I came boldly. I blocked you for a long time. Senior, it’s New Year’s Day soon. The new year has a new atmosphere. Can I be your girlfriend?”
Not far from us, the college was holding a New Year’s Day party, and the sponsorship was obtained from the External Relations Department of our student union.But Sheng Wang seemed to have just realized it. He was stunned for two seconds and said, “What’s the date today?”
“The 29th.” The girl said.
Sheng Wang nodded.
It’s strange. He has already left the Affiliated High School for a long time, but when he hears the words “end of the year” and “New Year’s Day”, his first reaction is still “the Affiliated High School always held an art festival at the end of the year.”
In the past, the Affiliated High School always held an art festival at the end of the year, and the event ended very late. There were thousands of people on No. 3 Road, and even those who managed to squeeze back into the dormitory felt sleepy.When I open my eyes again, one year is over.
Obviously he has done a lot of things to fill every day, but his memory has not been updated in time.Occasionally when I am lost in thought, my mind is still thinking about the past, the past, the past…
“Senior, am I interested?” The girl was not shy, and she waved her hand in front of his eyes in a serious manner.
Sheng Wang came back to his senses and said apologetically: “I’m sorry.”
“Ah…” She protracted and asked, “Why? Am I not good-looking? I think I’m pretty good-looking.”
Sheng Wang was amused, nodded and said: “It’s pretty good-looking. But…”
The girl blinked, waiting for the word “but” to follow.
Sheng Wang looked at her and suddenly felt that time was really magical. Rumors that had been circulating in the high school were no longer mentioned in a few months, and then in a few years they became a thing of the past, and no one even knew about it.
No one around here knew that there was a person in he’s past who only stayed for a while and then left, but he stared at that empty space for a long time.
Sheng Wang turned up his collar to block the winter night wind.
he smiled at the girl and said, “I like boys.”
