Summer in Hagawa

Chapter 12 Nightmare City...

"I changed the voluntary matter." Ye Ningde sat down across the table, crossed his hands in front of him, and put on a posture of having a long talk, "I asked someone to check your score, it is enough for B If you have a big admissions line, I asked someone to change your choice for you. I have been thinking about how to tell you, but I didn’t expect the notice to come very quickly.”

Ye Chuan's mind was buzzing, and his whole body fell into a strong sense of dizziness, and he hardly cared about listening to Ye Ningde's explanation.

In fact, he already had some kind of self-awareness, knowing that some details in his life again had been changed, but other things, no matter what he expected or feared, would still happen.For example, his unavoidable acquaintance with Li Xingxing, for example, Shao Kai was admitted to City B again.

For a long time, Ye Chuan was not fully sure whether he could really break away from his original life track. City B was like a prophecy with a slightly sinister taste, a group of dark clouds that seemed to be looming and floating above his head.

And now, without warning, it has come true.

If a city, a person's name, or a piece of history is like a trap lying in front of the road, no matter how far you travel, you can't get around it, then is it called... destiny?

"Xiao Chuan, for your future consideration, I have asked insiders specifically about it. University B is the school with the highest reputation in the industry." Ye Ningde looked a little uneasy, "If you really like this major, you must consider future internships and employment. .I think you know that, compared with Xi'an, the better chance is in City B."

Ye Chuan pressed his head and forced himself to listen to Ye Ningde's conversation, but he felt somewhat exhausted in his heart.

"Children always hope that their lives are completely made by themselves. But Xiaochuan, I have had that experience. Of course I can't say that it is a bad experience, but if I have foreseen that you will To reach the same height, I naturally hope that you can avoid some detours. You can also understand it as a little selfishness as an elder."

The numbness in Ye Chuan's mind gradually subsided. He blinked, and said in a low voice that sounded a bit lacking in confidence: "Uncle Ye, I know you are doing it for my own good. I was just a little... surprised."

Ye Ningde's expression relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face, "You also know that part of the Ye family's business has been transferred to City B, and Shi Fei is also there. Maybe your aunt and I will also go there in the future. Come on." Old people have different ideas from young people, young people always want to fly farther, while old people think it’s better to be together as a family.”

Ye Chuan pursed his lips and smiled, "Uncle Ye, you are not old."

"You're not old yet," Ye Ningde showed emotion on his face, and stretched out his hand to gesture at the table, "You were only this tall when you first came here, and now you're going to college. Cousin will be very happy when she finds out. And Your parents should tell you."

Ye Chuan nodded, "I will."

Ye Ningde said again: "Let Aunt Chen help you pack the luggage, thank you banquet and so on. I have arranged for Assistant Chen to go to Zhang Luo. If you have any requirements, please tell him directly."

Ye Chuan nodded again.

When Ye Ningde walked to the door of the restaurant, he heard Ye Chuan call him from behind, "Uncle Ye."

Ye Ningde looked back, Ye Chuan smiled at him a little embarrassedly, "Thank you, Uncle Ye."

Ye Ningde smiled, "Family, what are you polite about?"

Ye Chuan watched him walk out of the restaurant, the smile on his face slowly collapsed.

He once fell madly in love with that city because of the existence of a person.It used to be heaven and it used to be hell.That city carried the ultimate happiness in his life, and also witnessed his decadence and loneliness.It was there that he died lonely with his heart full of pain.

It was his nightmare, but he had to face it.

The waiters sweated profusely across the crowded tables and chairs, and put down two drafts of beer on their tables.The clear yellow wine has delicate foams, and it feels cool when you look at it.

Shao Kai picked up a bunch of chicken wings and handed them to Ye Chuan, and said with a smile, "Hey, you can drink a little bit today, and if you drink too much, I'll leave you here."

Ye Chuan took a bite of the scorched chicken wings, and gave him a dissatisfied sideways glance, "You are really kind."

Shao Kai laughed loudly, "You are as drunk as a dead pig. Can you bear it with your small body?"

Shao Kai is slightly taller than him. After playing for a summer vacation, he has been tanned a lot, but he hasn't gained much flesh. He has wide shoulders and a thin waist when viewed from the front, and looks as thin as a door panel when viewed from the side.He has been admitted to the Criminal Science and Technology Department of Public Security University in City B, and he came to find Ye Chuan because he planned to go to City B together.He knew that Ye Chuan wanted to go to Xi'an, and he was not very happy about getting the admission letter from University B, but Shao Kai was very happy about the current situation, after all, the two of them could see each other often.

Shao Kai looked at Ye Chuan's expression very carefully, and felt that he looked more energetic than the sad face he had a few days ago, so he couldn't help persuading him: "Chuan'er, don't think so much, Uncle Ye is doing it for you too. Good. I think, the conditions of University B are there. Since you want to be a lawyer, you should be the best lawyer. Right. How silly it is not to use such good resources.”

Ye Chuan was still chewing on the chicken wings, and he couldn't help laughing after hearing his careful words of comfort, "Don't try to persuade me, I understand it all in my heart."

Shao Kai looked at him and asked uncomfortably, "Do you really understand?"

Ye Chuan nodded, "Some things are destined to be unavoidable."

Shao Kai scratched his head, what does it mean if he can't hide?

"I used to think that those bad things just need to be avoided. But now I don't think so. Since those things exist, they also exist when I close my eyes." Ye Chuan's expression became dark. , but the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, forming a slightly self-deprecating arc, "This is my problem. Xiao Kai, I actually figured it out. Instead of thinking about how to avoid it, it's better to make yourself stronger." .”

"I don't understand." Shao Kai blinked innocently, "It's too artistic."

Ye Chuan pursed his lips and smiled.

"It's too literary." Shao Kai came over to touch his glass, "I said buddies, are you in a relationship?"

Ye Chuan was slightly taken aback, and shook his head with a smile, "Study, work, house, car... There are too many things to do." Let's forget about dating and so on.

Shao Kai heard the meaning behind his words, and there was a look of disapproval in his eyes, "Your tone, how old-fashioned you are."

Isn't it old-fashioned, Ye Chuan smiled lightly.Considering it's age...

"By the way, there is one more thing." Shao Kai asked him a little mysteriously, "Do you still remember Su Lele? The little girl who sent you the note?"

Ye Chuan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"I knew it." Shao Kai gave him a sideways glance, "Tomorrow she celebrates her birthday, please invite the students in our class to have a gathering. She specifically told me to take you there. Do you want to save face?"

Ye Chuan flatly refused, "Not tomorrow. I have something to do."

Shao Kai was dissatisfied, "What's the matter?"

Ye Chuan was silent for a moment, lowered his eyelids slightly, "Tomorrow I want to visit my parents."

It was raining on the day of the grave-sweeping, Ye Chuan held an umbrella and stood quietly in front of the grave where his parents were buried together for a long time.The sky was dim, and the photos on the stele were blurred.The person in the photo can only see the general outline, but the details of the facial features can no longer be seen clearly.Like the depths of his memory, no matter how unwilling he is, the past will eventually become more and more blurred.

His closest relatives are buried here, but he is getting farther and farther away.

Ye Chuan couldn't explain this feeling, he was very melancholy, but he no longer had the heart-piercing pain.It's like having struggled a lot growing up and finally having to admit the fact that they've left.

Nothing can be done.

Ye Chuan lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, bent down and stuck it in front of the stele.Ye Chuan watched a trail of thin smoke curling up under the umbrella, and sighed inaudibly.

"I actually don't remember what kind of cigarettes you like to smoke. I just remember seeing you smoking on the sofa. With your head down, the newspaper was spread out on your lap..."

"Mom likes to wear blue clothes. I remember she has a light blue shirt with small flowers embroidered on the cuffs, which is very beautiful. She can also fry twisted doughnuts, with sesame seeds on them, which are crunchy and delicious..."

"I'm going to go to university in city B. City B is not far from here, and it's only a few hours by train. It's more prosperous than city N. There are more people, but also more indifferent..."

"Dad, Mom, I will come back to see you during the holidays."
