Green fat red thin

  When the leaves around the school secretly turned green, two-thirds of the senior three days had already passed.

  After the start of school, Zhao Shuiguan's class was a science and chemistry class. This semester, apart from Chinese, mathematics, foreign languages, physics, and chemistry, there were no other subjects. The teacher looked around and saw only those few faces. Although sometimes talking about books and ink was delightful, life had nothing to look forward to. Adults always said that the third year of high school was tense, but in fact, this group of children didn't know what they were tense about, they just followed the teachers' lead.

  Life is like this, when you stand at a certain point and don't know where you are, take a few more steps and look back, everything is already beautiful with clear mountains and water.

  This week it's Zhao Shuiguan's turn to take out the trash, others try to avoid this chore as much as possible, but she accepts it with a smile. Zhao Shuiguan doesn't think there's anything wrong with taking out the trash, and besides, she doesn't have to get up early for school or stand while sweeping, at most she'll just be late after school, carrying plastic bags and throwing them away is fine.

  When all the people in the class had left, Zhao Shuiguan packed up her schoolbag. As she dragged her trash bag to the west corridor, she heard a gentle whistling sound, high and low, intermittent, playing a tune. She suddenly remembered the text she had recited earlier: "Big pearls and small pearls fall onto the jade plate."

  He dragged a big bag and walked down a few steps, only to see a slender figure sitting on the stairs downstairs, slightly raising his head, with both hands casually propped up on the stairs behind him, his elbows bent into a relaxed arc. The wind blowing from the corridor lifted the white corners of his school uniform and scattered the melodious whistling sound.

  "Chen Siyang!" Zhao Shuiguang shouted. Zhao Shuiguang and Chen Siyang were both class cadres, from the first year of high school to after the class split, they were still in the same class, so they could be considered friends. Usually, Chen Siyang was a very steady child, but somehow people like Zhao Shuiguang had no affinity with Chen Siyang's aura and instead attracted some crazy people, such as Xi Miao, and also Gao Qian. There were others that could be listed one by one.

  The man turned around, and it was indeed Chen Siyang. "Zhao Shuiguan, you haven't gone home yet?"

  "I'm taking out the trash." Zhao Shuiguang pointed to the black bag at his feet, "What are you doing?" and walked over to sit down on Chen Siyang's steps.

  "Nothing much, by the way, how are you going to write your voluntary preparation?" Chen Siyang raised his eyes and asked Zhao Shuiguan.

  Chen Siyang was also a handsome kid, although at that time the boys were not yet grown up and naturally did not have the grandeur of men like Tan Shu, but he had a clear and handsome face, which made people feel comfortable without saying anything.

  Zhao Shuiguang glanced at Chen Siyang's blank application form on his backpack and said, "You haven't filled it out yet, how can you write?"

  Chen Siyang turned his face away, his outline blurred in the glow of the sunset. He said: "I don't want to fill it out anymore, I don't want to go to college."

  Zhao Shuiguan was stunned, she thought Chen Siyang must be crazy, with that score he could get into any school he wanted, Zhao Shuiguan was completely blown away.

  Chen Siyang suddenly felt that no one was speaking, turned his head to look at Zhao Shuiguan's dull face, and smiled: "I'm saying I won't be going to university now, anyway, I'll be immigrating to Australia with my family in two years, so it doesn't matter if I can read or not."

  Zhao Shuiguan finally understood, and Chen Siyang continued: "Although my family said to start studying in the country first and then transfer abroad later, I believe what Teacher Tan said. We should have the courage to do what we want to do. I still have two years before I leave, there are many places in the country that I haven't been to, and many things that I haven't done. I don't want to wait like this."

  A 17-year-old boy said these words with a radiant light in his eyes.

  Zhao Shuiguang recalled Tan's speech about the book and ink, no wonder Chen Siyang was so excited at that time, this Tan Shuming is indeed a talent scout.

  Zhao Shuiguan always thought that Chen Siyang was just a bit better at grades and a bit stronger in ability, but looking at Chen Siyang like this suddenly gave him a kind of moving feeling. A person who dares to pursue their own ideals will always inspire admiration.

  Chen Siyang saw Zhao Shuiguang's adoring gaze and smiled awkwardly, jumping up to say: "Come on, come on, I'll help you take out the trash."

  Shouldering a school bag and dragging a big black luggage, he headed downstairs.

  In the following days, Zhao Shuiguan found that he often met Chen Siyang in the west corridor. The two chatted casually, and Chen Siyang said that he had applied for IVPA International Volunteer. Chen Siyang said that his first stop would be Tibet. As they gradually became familiar with each other, it was strange to find that classmates of more than two years couldn't compare to a few days of heartfelt communication.

  There is another reason, Zhao Shuiguan saw Chen Siyang and thought of another person who had gone far away. He said he didn't want to leave, but couldn't escape his parents' arrangements. If he could have such a time, would he also be so spirited and talk about his ideals with her? How good it would be! Every time he thinks this way, there is a moist spot in Zhao Shuiguan's heart.

  A few days later, a boy ran over and asked: "Zhao Shuiguan, what do you think of Chen Siyang?" Zhao Shuiguan was collecting English homework and said without thinking: "He's great." The man smiled with an eerie expression and ran off.

  So, in the afternoon, a fresh rumor came out: "The class leader and study committee member of Class 3, Grade 3 are 'dating'", where "dating" was a popular term that year, which sounds nice but actually means they have a leg up on each other.

  Zhao Shuiguang was quite perplexed, this topic was really sensational, and it was a perfect match. She thought to herself that she and Chen Siyang were like characters in a school romance drama, but the key was that there was no relationship between her and Chen Siyang, not even a hair's breadth of connection. When did they suddenly become intimate? Even she didn't know.

  Chen Siran and Zhao Shuiguan are both proud people at heart, so they naturally won't bother with such rumors, and things will go on as usual.

  Zhao Shuiguang knew that there was a saying "rumors stop at the wise", but in reality, she had nothing to do with the wise. After a few days, the rumors turned into: Zhao Shuiguang from Class 3 still had an affair with 'Xu', the former school grass of Shi Da Fu Zhong. Zhao Shuiguang was amazed that such old news could be dug up.

  Lian Gao said with a run: "Xiao Guang, you are more popular than ××× in Class 1."

  Zhao Shuiguang couldn't help but laugh this time, because the rumor was true. The past came flooding back, and it seemed like wherever she went, people would say: "Look, Zhao Shuiguang, Hope's XXX", and now that person on the other end of the Arctic Ocean knew that her name and his were being mentioned together again, what kind of expression would he have?

  People often say to walk their own way and let others talk, Zhao Shuiguan believes that such people exist, but they must be deaf. The politics teacher said that humans are social animals. So, we have no choice but to learn how to adapt to society.

  Finally, on a certain windy and sunny afternoon, Zhao Shuiguan and Chen Siyang were invited into the teacher's office together. These two excellent students who often came in and out of the office for the first time were asked to come in because of this embarrassing reason.

  Teacher Wang Lilili was also very embarrassed: "Chen Siyang, Zhao Shuiguang, the teacher believes in you too."

  Zhao Shuiguang was very funny, if she believed that then why did she still stand there with her head lowered listening to him.

  Wang Lilili continued: "You two are good students and have always been more self-aware than your classmates, how could you..."

  At this time, the sound of knocking on the door rang out. Tan Shu Mo walked in wearing a sky blue cardigan with a fluffy woolen thread that instantly brought a breath of spring into the room. Wang Li Li hastily stood up and Tan Shu Mo smiled slightly saying: "Don't rush, I came to look for last year's exam papers." He glanced at Zhao Shui Guang and headed towards the file cabinet.

  Wang Lilili saw the two proud students standing in front of her, sat down, and with great effort gathered her wandering eyes to persuade them: "In a few more months you'll be going to university, what can't you do then? You think carefully about it."

  Zhao Shuiguang almost burst out laughing, really, once in college, anything goes, why does everyone say that, only Xi Miao pinched her ear and scolded: "Bullshit, don't think you're impressive just because you're in college, it's just a change of place to continue fooling around, deceiving people!"

  Who is telling the truth? Why are people scrambling to go to college?

  At this moment, Zhao Shuiguan suddenly envied Chen Siyang. He had already taken his own steps forward, but what about hers?

  Why did she feel they were on the same track just now in the classroom, but now only herself is running towards an unknown future? Apprehensive.

  Wang Lilili said: "Zhao Shuiguang, you go back first, work hard, Chen Siyang, you stay." Zhao Shuiguang saw her take out that blank supplementary application form.

  Zhao Shuiguang nodded and left, closing the door as he saw Tan Shumeng standing under the old bookshelf, flipping through a scroll.

  Zhao Shuiguang did not leave and stood at the office door waiting. With a "creak", the door opened, and Tan Shumeng walked out.

  Zhao Shuiguan suddenly felt as if he had done something wrong, hung his head in embarrassment, and walked a few steps before calling out: "Teacher Tan, goodbye."

  He stopped talking and turned his body sideways.

  Zhao Shuiguang muttered softly: "That's not Chen Siyang."

  He spoke in a low voice, but he also heard it, and he said lightly: "I know." A hint of a smile was revealed.

  He remembered that she had said she liked someone before. If it was really that boy, then this child shouldn't be so worried, so he knew it wasn't him.

  Zhao Shuiguan suddenly didn't know what to say, she wanted to talk about the kind of people who have a smooth journey in life, with their arrogance they must think nothing is important, naturally they wouldn't be bothered by rumors like her.

  Tan Shu Mo had also heard about Zhao Shui Guang's message, but he wasn't too surprised. He believed that the painful things she was going through now would definitely become valuable assets worth smiling about in the future. Everyone went through this.

  But as for Zhao Shui Guang, he seems to be someone who doesn't take anything seriously, but in reality, his mind is sharp and if the same thing were to happen to someone else, the destructive power would likely double.

  "I never take others' shortcomings as an excuse for myself, nor do I take others' strengths as a burden on myself."

  For her, he could only say that much, there were still three months left, and afterwards there wouldn't be anyone to discuss books with, everything would have to rely on her own efforts to move forward.

  Zhao Shuiguan also understood, suddenly lifted his head to look over, originally the school's leaves had turned green in a large area, stretching into the corridor, the gentle breeze blowing, making a "rustling" sound, that day the sunlight spilled down, the tree leaves behind Tan Shumeng sparkled with a bright light, refreshing and invigorating, such a person standing in such a scene suddenly struck his heart.

  Tan Shu Mo turned his head to glance at Ye, who was full of vigor, then turned around and disappeared into the corridor.

  Before long, Chen Siyang came out and said apologetically to Zhao Shuiguan: "Sorry, I've dragged you into this. I won't be coming to school next week." Zhao Shuiguan shook his head: "It's nothing."

  Chen Siyang walked alongside her and said, "I won't be coming next week, my family has agreed, and my volunteer application to South Africa has also been approved."

  Chen Siyang scratched his head with a resolute tone: "I'll definitely be scolded by my mom, but I have to go. I've checked and many foreigners our age have already participated, and there are also many Japanese people doing it."

  Zhao Shuiguang stopped and said sincerely: "Add oil."

  Chen Siyang smiled and said: "You too, go first."

  Zhao Shuiguang looked at his straight back, and many years later, she would remember the youth who sat on the stairs corner blowing a green whistle in the sunset.

  A young man with his head in the clouds, a youth of reckless abandon and unbridled passion.

  Fading away. Fading into the distance. Fading into silence.

  The author has something to say: Some of you may know that after finishing this chapter, I'll be pelted with eggs by all of you. I deleted Xiao Mo's scenes, but I want to say that bread will definitely appear, Nan Zhu won't be able to escape, it's just a transition, and everyone will definitely see the beloved Tan teacher again on the weekend.

  Regarding Chu Shao Jiang, looking up at the sky and down at the ground, someone secretly said, "I think this name is great, it's all about hype, hype, and so this Chu guy became famous! Who made me take his money? Running around~~~"
