"Aren't you angry?"

In the cold night wind that was rushing towards her, Huai Shi heard the voice behind her and asked in confusion: "Angry? Why are you angry?"

"If you are scolded by someone, you are not angry at all?"

Fu Yi asked in surprise: "When did you have such a good temper? To be honest, I was particularly afraid that you suddenly jumped up and slapped his head off the neck..."

"That's too cruel, right?"

Huai Shi imagined the crazy and tragic scene, couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning, and shook her head: "Not, not."

"Besides, he said nothing wrong."

Huai Shi was riding a bicycle. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but sigh: "As an ordinary person, I am indeed not as good as him except playing the violin. Well, except looking a little better than him... But this shouldn't be something that a man can be proud of, right?"

"That's right...what shampoo did you use? It didn't break fork?"

Fu Yi grabbed Huai Shi's hair, as if she was pulling a girl's braid, and was full of interest.

Huai Shi couldn't help rolling her eyes in front: "You've got enough, it hurts a lot, don't pull it."

"Okay."

After pulling enough, Fu Yi sighed and hammered his back: "So? You really didn't do anything?"

"Well……"

"What does 'u' mean?" Fu Yi asked: "Did it or didn't do it?"

“Not done.”

Huai Shi sighed, "I originally wanted to say that he would have a valuable experience of border dysentery before school started... Later, when you took action, I didn't have the nerve to add to the point."

"Haha, I know."

Fu Yi laughed loudly, laughing in the back seat of the bicycle, and she was overwhelmed with joy.

"Don't shake, be careful of overturning!"

Huai Shi tried hard to maintain balance, turned around and glared at Fu Yi, "Sign up the way, how can you go to your house? I haven't walked this road."

"Turn right ahead and walk the path faster."

"To be honest, any motorcycle you take is faster than my bike." Huai Shi sighed, and then heard a calm voice behind her: "Then can you still bring it?"

"Okay, I'll take me."

Huai Shi followed Fu Yi's instructions and turned right, and couldn't help but shake her head and sighed: "Who made Dad love you?"

Then he was punched hard.

"You're enough, don't take advantage of my dad." Fu Yi said: "He has lost his hair a lot recently."

"I was so angry with your dog?"

"It's either dog or you." Fu Yi asked: "Who do you think it is?"

Huai Shi thought about it for a moment, and when she remembered her recent posture of stumbleing into the trench, she felt that it was not both. It was really difficult for people to reach middle age... She could only admire Brother Wang's ability to withstand pressure.

Thinking of this, Huai Shi couldn't help but sigh with regret: "It's not easy for me and your father."

Then he was hit hard again.

I can only shut up embarrassedly.

In a brief silence, he rode forward on his bicycle, heard the rhythmic friction sounds of the axles, and heard the vague humming behind him.

It seems to be a song, but only the blurred tone is left, which becomes strange and erratic in intermittent humming, as if it dissipates into mist after losing its shape, dissipating in the obscure night.

There are repetitions from time to time, but I always can't hear clearly. Until the end, the humming gradually disappeared.

Only the breathing sounds in silence remain.

Calm and peaceful.

Between the narrow alleys, the girl sat quietly on the back seat of her bicycle, raised her head, and let her long hair float in the wind.

I just stared at the faint night sky that was exposed in the cracks in the high walls. Under the reflection of the clouds and the scattered broken light, I could not see the stars, but they were still so high.

"The outside world is so beautiful, Huai Shi."

She whispered softly.

"Hmm?" the boy in front asked in confusion, "What were you talking about?"

"nothing."

Fu Yi shook her head, pulled up the scattered hair in the wind, and suddenly asked, "When are you going to leave?"

Huai Shi was stunned for a moment, feeling that such a conversation seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember where it had appeared.

I don't know how to answer.

"I didn't think it through."

He said that after thinking for a long time, he couldn't help but explain: "Actually it's quite troublesome. You may not believe me. I received more than fifty notices today, and all of them are..."

"I'm leaving."

Fu Yi interrupted him and said softly: "The day after tomorrow, go to Rome."

"Rome? Why did you suddenly go so far?"

Huai Shi's pedaling rhythm was a little confused, and she turned back in surprise: "So fast? Can your dad agree? Who does this mean?"

After asking, he realized that he had a lot of questions.

Fu Yi couldn't answer at all.

After being stunned for a long time, he almost hit the wall in front of him. He turned around in a mess and looked back.

But Fu Yi lowered her head and didn't look at him.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"Well, I mentioned it to my mother first." Fu Yi replied: "I discussed it with my dad for a long time, and he agreed... In fact, he is not as stubborn as you think, but sometimes he is unwilling to admit defeat..."

"The day after tomorrow?" Huai Shi was confused: "Why is it so fast?"

"I'm not good at Latin, so I have to go to the preparatory class first. If I'm lucky, I can catch up before school starts in November. If I don't, I have to wait next year."

Fu Yi said: "My mother's place has been arranged, and I thought it would be meaningless to stay, so I was ready to leave."

Huai Shi listened in a daze, not knowing what to say.

Riding forward in a daze.

After a long time, I couldn't help asking: "Isn't it good to stay in Dongxia?"

"It's good too."

Fu Yi said indifferently: "Then stay, it's okay to go to Jixia... But if you think about it carefully, there is no difference. Both sides are the same, both people and places you don't know."

Huai Shi was silent and didn't say anything.

But Fu Yi couldn't help laughing.

"Huaishi, the college entrance examination is over." She whispered: "It is impossible for people to stay in the same place all their lives, right? No matter how long they wait, there will be no change. You have to look forward..."

She paused and asked, "Didn't this truth be taught by you?"

"I don't remember when I said such philosophical things."

Huai Shi turned her back to her, rode her bike and said seriously: "You must have understood it wrong."

"Then you're wrong. Who can avoid making mistakes?"

Fu Yi shook his head indifferently: "You have never returned to the one who has been staying in Xinhai, right? You are a sublimator, an inspector of the Astronomical Society, a savior and hope for many people... Xinhai is too small for you, just like a cage."

Huai Shi was silent for a long time and whispered: "Actually... it doesn't matter if it's a cage."

"Don't be stupid."

Fu Yi shook her head and laughed: "Even if the cage is good, there are always times when you are tired, right? You are just not used to life outside the cage for the time being. Actually, I am the same... After leaving home, I don't know where to go, but where to go is not good? It's better than staying in the cage forever, right?"

“…”

Huai Shi didn't speak.

He pursed his lips, rode his bike silently, moving forward and uphill with all his might.

In fact, I don’t have much effort, but it seems that I have to press the entire weight of my body and do my best - until the bicycle is overwhelmed and makes a creaking sound.

He held the handlebars tightly and climbed over the high slope.

There was a strange scene in front of me. Even though Xinhai was so narrow, there were still places he had never been to, which was still enough for him to explore for a long time.

In the sudden impulse, he couldn't help but open his mouth and make a sound.

"Fu Yi, you must not leave--"

"Can't."

His words were interrupted by the voice behind him.
