They’re not close friends, the distance between two people’s shoulders is far enough to fit another person.

Perhapshe figured that Zhu Chi was feeling upset. Cao Chen said: “When you are in college, no one will know you. At that time, you can start a new life.”

Zhu Chi raised his eyes. His eyes were sparkling, and he liked to talk to him about such topics.

For his boring life, the new environment of the university is a brand-new hope for him.

Yes, he will leave here after the entrance examinations.

In the new city, no one knows him, and he has no unpleasant memories with anyone there.

Zhu Chi was like a withered grass slowly returning back to life with his curved eyebrows and beautiful smiles. Even Cao Chen, who doesn’t like getting along with others, is in a daze for a moment.

That’s … He is easy to fool.

….

When he got home, Zhu Chi couldn’t help but take out the photos taken by his cousin who went to college to motivate himself.

His cousin is an extremely confident and sunny person, and now he is studying in a coastal city. He heard that it is warm all year round and everyone is warm and hospitable.

He held the photo sent by his cousin, and thought it was like an unconstrained palette with colorful and brilliant colors.

Zhu Chi wants to post that photo where he can see it everywhere, but he doesn’t want to ruin its beauty with sticky glue or anything else.

Thinking about it, he still stuffed it into the cabinet with his own baby photos.

The candy paper stuffed in his childhood, the beautiful glass ball like a planet, the first successful paper-cut for the New Year, and now, he has that photo.

He told himself that when he went to college, he must never be so introverted again.

So he practiced his smile repeatedly in front of the mirror on the table.

Why do people in the class find him difficult to get along with?

It must be him. He looks so unlikable.

It doesn’t matter, he will just correct it.

When he dares to smile at others, he may be able to get on well with everyone.

But if he stays in this place now, he can’t do it.

Everyone already knows him, and his image is deeply rooted in their eyes.

Changing himself at this time seems like a deliberate clownery as if his every smile is full of hypocrisy.

But it will be different when he goes to college.

He must become very friendly.

A uniform and regular knock on the door interrupted his thoughts and re-established order in the world where he was enjoying himself.

Shen Baiyan pushed the door and came in. Zhu Chi quickly opened the book and pretended that what had just happened did not exist.

She came in and brought Zhu Chi a fruit bowl with pitaya he didn’t like.

Shen Baiyan didn’t leave immediately after coming in, but sat down and asked him about his recent exam.

Zhu Chi answered truthfully, and a satisfied smile appeared on Shen Baiyan’s face.

Just as Zhu Chi was relieved, she suddenly said, “Keep up your current achievements so that you can go to college at Q University where your father teaches.”

Zhu Chi froze, clenched his fingers at a loss and whispered, “But mom, I want to go to Haida.”

“No.”

Shen Baiyan suddenly raised her voice: “What are you thinking all day? Haida is so far away, and you have no acquaintances there. Absolutely not.”

“But …”

“Stop it.” Shen Baiyan rubbed her eyebrows irritably and looked like a wayward child: “You are not old enough to make your own decisions.”

At that moment, Zhu Chi lost all the color in his face.

Shen Baiyan can also understand Zhu Chi’s sadness, but she is not going to do anything to destroy his future. She then spoke, “Xiaochi, what I do is for you.”

Zhu Chi only felt that his energetic nerves were paralyzed again.

The photo of the seaside city quickly faded in the cupboard, and the colorful and brilliant colors slowly withered, becoming black and white and gray.

Shen Baiyan’s lips opened and closed one by one, and Zhu Chi understood what she was saying, but she could not understand the meaning of each word.

He once again fortified the city, and his emotions were once again stripped by.

Zhu Chi nodded stiffly like a marionette.

Seeing that he was so sensible, Shen Baiyan finally stopped chattering and showed a satisfied smile.

After she left, Zhu Chi had no courage to open the cupboard again.

…..

Song Chenyi couldn’t find Zhu Chi anywhere. He wanted to call the police and search for him on the streets, but he was rushed to school by his mother of this world.

Are you kidding? Song Chenyi is not in the mood to stay in any school now.

He’s still looking for Zhu Chi.

When everyone was at home studying early at school, Song Chenyi was planning how to climb over the wall.

There are endless leaves piled up on the school railings all the year round.

This is the health area in Zhu Chi class.

Zhu Chi, who is in charge of duty, stays there while still thinking about the photo in his cupboard.

He is particularly stubborn in some way, unwilling to give up easily, and will try his best to stick to his decided goal, even if there are many obstacles.

However, he regarded his mother’s words as the golden rule since he was a child.

He felt that in his body, two egos were fighting and arguing.

He felt like he was being torn apart.

There are many leaves on the muddy ground.

Zhu Chi paused while his mind moved.

A few minutes later, he squatted there and naively counted the leaves on the ground.

Even numbers mean going, odd numbers mean not going.

He looked at the leaves on the ground and quickly got the answer.

At the end of the count, his movements froze.

It’s odd.

Zhu Chi’s eyes dim.

He knew that everything in this world would not be easily achieved.

That’s right, he’s not a pleasant child, and fate must not care for him like others.

Zhu Chi was turning to go when a figure fell from the tree, moving cleanly and bringing down a good leaf.

The man fell firmly to the ground and looked at him blankly, as if he didn’t understand how this world could really become a spectacle of the living.

but …

Zhu Chi squatted on the ground, lowered his head and looked down at the ground for a while, and did a quick mental calculation.

This time, it’s even.

It’s even

Zhu Chi’s eyes suddenly lit up, and the world in front of him recovered, spreading out of the color limit.

Overhead uploaded the arrogant voice of the coming year: “Hey, I warn you not to report me, or I …”

Zhu Chi, who had been squatting on the ground, heard the threat of cold life and slowly raised his head.

Black and white are replaced, colors are extended crazily just like that.

In the field of vision, the sun shone on the high-spirited, and the sky was clear and blue. A blue-tailed bird flapping its wings on the branch flew. The person was splashed with light and shadow, standing at the center of the painting, becoming the most brilliant piece.

The eye-catching young man opened his eyes in surprise, looked at him in disbelief and murmured, “Xiaochi?”
