Life is as smooth as a stream. Whether it is expected or afraid, the senior year of high school still arrives as expected. Even Zuo Junhao and the others who jumped out of trouble had no time to cause trouble, and they were much more peaceful than before.

The only thing that makes people feel upset is Chen Rang. After all the messy things in his second year of high school, he is even colder and harder than in his first year of high school. He is hard to see him speak three times a day, and he is more and more rude to his words. The friends around him know what the reason is.

At the beginning, Qi Huan would contact Zhang Youyu every week, but later the frequency gradually decreased. I don’t know when the contact was completely cut off.

When Qi Huan was not here, Zuo Junhao and the others were not used to it at first, but later they gradually got used to it. If they hadn't sometimes met Min Xue people on the street, they would have even had an illusion, as if they were just dreaming, but in fact, this person had never appeared before.

But illusions are just illusions after all, and no one can erase Qi Huan's existence.

Chen Rang started drinking sweet things, one cup every day, sometimes in the afternoon, and sometimes in evening study. The plastic cup body exudes a pink and tender color, standing quietly on the corner of his desk. He may not finish every time, or half or one-third of it, no matter whether he has finished drinking or not, he will still buy it the next day.

Ji Bing sighed privately and said, "Chen Rang doesn't like sweet things, why bother to force himself? Even..." Whenever he stopped here, Zuo Junhao also sighed, and then he followed the rest: "Probably... he is so distressed. He needs something to suppress."

Sweet things are one aspect, and the more obvious thing is that sometimes when you walk to a place, Chen Rang will subconsciously stay for a moment. He seems to have been immersed in his own world from a certain moment, making him quieter and more silent to the outside world.

Whenever that happens, they can't and cannot bear to disturb them.

In the post bar, there are posts that once had a fight between No. 1 Middle School and Minxue, you can still find them by searching for keywords.

The words and Chen Rang's habit of changing each prove Qi Huan's existence.

Chen Rang's grades are getting better and better than before. He seems to be competing with himself and keep trying to move forward. Zuo Junhao heard from the teachers' discussion that with Chen Rang's state in such a state, if he keeps up until the college entrance examination, as long as he doesn't perform well, he will definitely have proud results.

In the last year, other things became irrelevant to Chen Rang. The only thing that made him have a little attention was probably the case when Shi Shanshan transferred to Hecheng in the first semester of her senior year.

There are fewer and fewer traces related to Qi Huan, and every clue is particularly valuable. Zuo Junhao knew that Chen Rang also had the contact information of all the people in Minxue on his mobile phone. For what, it is obvious.

After the hard work of the year, all the results were revealed after the college entrance examination. That summer, No. 1 Middle School became the biggest winner in Hecheng Middle School. Chen Rang won the provincial top scorer and handed over a satisfactory report card for himself in his three years at No. 1 Middle School, which also made the school look very much.

Of course, Zuo Junhao and Ji Bing were happy for him, but the parties involved were not very happy. On the day the results came out, Zuo Junhao and Ji Bing looked for Chen Rang for a long time, searched all the places they used to go, and finally climbed over the wall and entered the empty old normal school campus next to No. 1 Middle School to find him.

Chen Rang sat next to the flower bed in front of the playground. When Min Xue was temporarily staying here, there was a place where the red-listed wooden boards were placed. Before evening self-study, they walked past the door and saw it many times.

Zuo Junhao and Ji Bing stood far away, not knowing whether they should call him.

Chen Rang sat in a daze, as if he was thinking about something. The normal school campus was empty, and his eyes were also empty.

At that moment, as a close by spectator, Zuo Junhao suddenly felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.

If Qi Huan is also...

If she were there, Chen Rang wouldn't sit there or be alone.

That night, Zuo Junhao and Ji Bing pulled Chen Rang out for a drink. No one was drunk, but they kept making jokes and having fun. When they went back tonight, Zuo Junhao was pestering and trying to stay at Chen Rang's house. He had no reaction and only said two words, "Whatever."

Zuo Junhao has been to Chen Rang's home in three years of high school, but he has never stayed overnight. He occupied his bed for the first time after spending the night, lying on his bed and never leaving, refusing to sleep on the sofa.

Chen Rang was still silent, not angry, without joy or anger.

After sleeping until midnight, Zuo Junhao suddenly opened his eyes and found that there was no one beside him in a sleepy way. He sat up, supported the bed with his hands, and saw Chen Rang smoking on the balcony. He was stunned, and went out with his slippers and stood next to Chen Rang.

“Blow the air?”

“…I dreamed that she cried.”

The sentence that the text is incorrect in the title is the first sentence that Chen Rang took the initiative to say. Everything is silent, and the smoke is shining between his fingers, shining brightly and extinguishing.

I don’t remember when I went to bed later, nor do I remember what I talked about that night. The only impression that Zuo Junhao was was the expression on Chen Rang’s face when he said that sentence.

When he woke up the next day, Chen asked everything to be the same. Zuo Junhao had the first time eating the breakfast he made. He knew that he could cook, but he didn't expect that his cooking skills were so good.

During breakfast, Chen Rang said, "I'm going to the provincial capital, you can go back by yourself after eating."

Zuo Junhao asked: "What are you doing when you go to the provincial capital?"

"See my grandpa."

“When will you come back?”

"I don't know, I might just wait until the university starts." Chen Rang drank a spoonful of porridge and said, "After entering school, I will start to help my grandfather."

Zuo Junhao was stunned.

During a breakfast meal, not only did I taste Chen Rang's cooking skills for the first time, but also for the first time I knew the exact situation at his home.

In his third year of high school, Zuo Junhao met Chen Rang's father. His drunken look was impressive. But he didn't know that Chen Rang's grandfather was actually the top leader of the family. Their family is in business, and the well-known brand in the province "Huayun" is his family's industry.

Chen Rang also had an aunt who had been helping his grandfather. He was a single strong woman, without marriage or children. After Chen Rang's father disappointed his grandfather, many things were left to his aunt to deal with.

His father was useless, so his grandfather and his aunt naturally placed their hopes on him.

Zuo Junhao came back to his senses: "But you want to go to college..."

Huayun is in the province, and Chen Rang's choice is not in the province. Zuo Junhao and his choice are the same, so he had planned it before the exam. If he fails to pass the exam, his second choice will be a school in the same place, so there is no need to separate.

"Video." Chen Rang said, "Learn first."

Remote participation is also participation.

Zuo Junhao forgot to eat and licked his lips, "You can't stand it?" He started to help his grandfather while studying. Just thinking about it is tiring.

Chen Rang was very calm, with only three words: "It can be eaten."

After drinking the porridge in the bowl, he put down the spoon and said, "Put the bowl after eating, go back." He went into the room to change his clothes.

Zuo Junhao sat at the table and couldn't react for a long time.

He could take it, how could he take it... But he decided to do it even if he couldn't take it anymore.

Perhaps the year of his second year of high school really left him too deep a shadow. The dark cloud, which had been stuck in his heart for hundreds of days and nights, still could not dissipate.

Zuo Junhao knew that Chen Rang had enough. He was in a hurry to grow up, and he was rushing toward the adult world, and he was rushing to become an adult who could take on everything.

——In order not to do anything powerless.

...

After leaving Chen Rang's house, Zuo Junhao made Ji Bing out and the two of them wandered around to pass the time. After dinner in the evening, Zuo Junhao didn't want to go back, so he went to his house with Ji Bing and spent the night with him.

After taking a shower, Ji Bing came out to see Zuo Junhao sitting on a stool playing with his cell phone, and went over and kicked him.

Zuo Junhao didn't respond. He just opened his mouth to speak, but Zuo Junhao looked up with a heavy expression.

"What's wrong?" He was stunned.

Zuo Junhao flipped his phone and looked at him. He lowered his eyes and saw that it was the interface of the post bar - it was Qi Huan's "I like him very much".

This post bar that has never been updated since Qi Huan left has added a new content now more than a year later.

There is a person who has no avatar and an id name is a string of unruly symbols. At the end of the post, he replied to a sentence.

...

The voices and laughter outside were still not stopped, and from a distance, some vague sounds could be heard vaguely.

Chen Rang lies on the bed in the room, facing the ceiling motionlessly.

His grandfather held a celebration banquet for him. His grandfather's friends and business partners all came. After dinner, several familiar old friends were invited home by his grandfather. They couldn't stop chatting in the living room outside, and there was a sentence praising him in every five words.

Today he is the protagonist, and his aunt smiled so hard that she couldn't see her eyes. She was with her grandfather and dealt with the guests all night. Even his father showed a different look today than before. He did not become crazy after drinking, but his eyes turned red and he was silent alone in the corner for a long time.

He also drank some wine and his face turned red. His grandfather asked him to go back to his room to rest first.

The lights were not turned on, and the room was pitch black. Chen Rang put his phone on his face. Soon, the screen became hot. He turned his head and moved, and the phone fell on the bed.

Outside the window, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and cicadas are chirping.

The screen of the mobile phone that falls on the sheet is black, and when it is turned on, it is blue.

Maybe it was because of alcohol, or maybe it was because of the overcrowding of over the past year that Chen Rang seemed to be possessed tonight and read all the text messages she sent. Finally, he clicked on the post bar that he hadn't been to for a long time and looked from beginning to end.

He registered an account and used these for the first time, even his name was pressed randomly.

In that post that no one has updated, he squinted his drunken eyes and replied to her at that time through hundreds of days.

Unfortunately, she left so many turbulent thoughts, but he only left one at this time.

Some things should have been said long ago.

She said that she thought he was special when she saw him for the first time.

She said she wanted to be with him, celebrate every birthday, every day, and a long, long time.

She said she liked him very much.

If there is time, how good it should be, do it again and reply to the sentence in the post, he will definitely tell her in person—
Chapter completed!
