The boiler room in the courtyard records all the memories of Chu Jin from the age of seven to nineteen.

The chest of drawers at the door was always filled with snacks and toys by friends, and later became the base of Ding Yi, Wang Jun Yangzang Xiaopian, and Xiao Huangman.

The yellowed wall, the old wood-colored furniture, the creaky single beds, and the blue and white sheets that have remained unchanged forever.

Chu Jin\'s consciousness gradually became clear, and the girl in his arms was a little trembling.

In the dimly lit room, only an old-fashioned head shaking fan made a "crack" sound.

"Sorry..." Chu Jin gasped and said in Song Qiaoxi\'s ear, stroking her long curly hair scattered between the pillows with pity.

Song Qiaoxi\'s eyes widened, her eyes adjusted to the dim light in the room.

Chu Jin\'s eyebrows were drooping, and his thin, pale lips turned bright red because of the kiss, as if bloodshot.

Having not yet adapted to the unfamiliar feeling of lust, Song Qiaoxi tried her best to hold her breath, raised her hand in confusion, and tapped Chu Jin\'s discolored lips with her index finger.

Moist, warm touch.

At this moment, she woke up completely, my God...

The brain went through a series of brainstorms in an instant. Could it be that the wonderful feeling that Ding Miao said was difficult to hold on to himself?

etc......

No, Chu Jin seemed to apologize to himself just now?

"Hey..." Song Qiaoxi hooked Chu Jin\'s neck with both hands, touched her forehead and his forehead, and asked solemnly, "You just apologized to me, why?"

Chu Jin was amused by her eight hundred serious questions. The little girl is sometimes dull and cute.

"Apologize..." Chu Jin paused, curling the corners of his lips, smiling more like an evildoer, "I shouldn\'t drink, and I won\'t touch alcohol in the future."

Drinking is really a mistake...

"If you want to drink, you can drink a little bit, but you can\'t drink too much, I\'m your leader, and I will take care of you." Song Qiaoxi raised her head and pecked Chu Jinyan\'s red lips, feeling not very enjoyable, and then gently Bitten and licked with his little tongue.

She likes the warm and soft touch of his lips, and she also likes him to smile like a fairy, like it to death.

"Hiss..." Chu Jin took a breath, and his arm supporting the bed shook slightly. When the little girl suddenly took the initiative, he became hot all over.

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door outside, breaking the charming atmosphere in the room.

"Xixi, are you here in Chu Jin?" Ding Yi\'s voice was outside the door.

"..." Chu Jin frowned, his eyes gleaming in pitch black, he blinked two times in disappointment, and he sighed with relief.

"Xi Xi? Chu Jin? What are you two doing?" Ding Yi continued to knock on the door, "Du Du Du Du" kept knocking, "My sister is home, I\'m going to your house, you can only be in Chu Jin. Here it is! Open the door, I forgot to get your Olympic ticket yesterday, and I promised Liang Shanshan to bring it to her this afternoon."

If only with Chu Jin, Song Qiaoxi would not feel ashamed no matter how close they were.

But the door of the boiler room is very thin, and the soundproofing is very poor. The movement in the house can definitely be heard from outside.

Song Qiaoxi buried her head in the pillow annoyedly.

At this time, she really didn\'t want to see Ding Yi, but wanted to bury her head like an ostrich.

"You two won\'t both take a nap, right? It\'s three o\'clock, and I\'m getting up soon. Hey, Xixi, Chu Jin?" Ding Yi\'s voice came from the window again, and he went to knock on the window instead.

"I\'ll get him away, and you will sleep for a while." Chu Jin\'s voice was suffocating. He pulled the towel that Song Qiaoxi had pushed to the foot of the bed, and put it on her waist, covering all the exposed skin. .

Song Qiaoxi could hear the door opening.

It was closed quickly after just one click.

"I\'ll send it to you later, she is still asleep." She could hear Chu Jin\'s voice clearly.

"Oh, okay, what time are you still going to sleep?" Ding Yi dabbled with Chu Jin again.

Song Qiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief when Ding Yi meant that she was going home first.

Immediately afterwards, the heart that had just been put down came up again.

I just heard Ding Da make a fuss: "I\'m going, brother, I didn\'t find out just now, did you put on lipstick? Why do you have a mouth like blood, so you won\'t be bitten by mosquitoes..."

Chu Jin: "..."

-

The summer time in the compound is happy, but happy time is always short.

During this month, Song Qiaoxi had fun with her friends in the courtyard, had a dinner with Foreign Languages ​​and old classmates from the elementary school attached to the Normal University to sing K, and attended the engagement banquet of sister Qiu Meng and brother Lidong by the way.

If dinner is at someone’s house in the compound, after dinner, she would run to watch grandpa grandpa and grandpa Zhang play chess and cards like she did when she was a child, but she would not be accompanied by the two big roosters called "daughter" by Song Qiaoxi. .

Grandpa Sun is also the "mouth cannon" OG of the compound. The story of everyone in the compound is easy to come by, and it is time to catch up with the storyteller of the village.

In mid-July, she and Chu Jin took the bus back to Taicheng and stayed with her grandma and grandfather for a few days.

By the beginning of August, a few friends had booked a train ticket from Qizhou to Beijing, and prepared to go to Beijing to watch the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games by train.

The vigorous summer vacation just passed.

National Tsing Hua University started early. On the evening of August 29, 2008, the opening ceremony of the 2008 undergraduate freshmen of National Tsing University was held in the square in front of the main building.

About 3,000 freshmen of 2008 undergraduate level, as well as hundreds of parents, relatives and friends of freshmen attended the opening ceremony.

Chu Jin took the stage as a representative of the freshman to give a speech. He was wearing a slim white shirt and black trousers, with fine black hair scattered on his forehead. His temperament and manners were all good.

As soon as the handsome, exquisite and handsome young man took the stage, he aroused discussion among the teachers and students.

"This is the number one winner in the science college entrance examination in Beijing this year. The young man is really a talent. This father and mother can really raise children."

"I remember that this kid was named Chu Jin, who was in the newspaper. Some media had interviewed him. I heard that he had a pitiful life."

"It seems that my parents passed away when they were very young. It was not easy to be raised by a neighbor."

"I think the school of National Tsing Hua University this year has nothing to do with Chu. This looks and figure, tsk tsk, it is a pity not to be a star."

"What a star? I heard that he has been doing Internet entrepreneurship since high school. Several venture capitalists have contacted him. He is now catching up with the Internet, and Zhuner can make a lot of money."

"It seems, I heard that he is the grandson of the Chu family. He has a good family property and does not inherit. He ran out to start a business by himself. The young man is quite courageous..."

......

Song Qiaoxi, Song\'s parents and Grandpa Chu all attended the opening ceremony as relatives and friends.

When Song Jianguo and Qiao Qin saw Chu Jin coming onto the stage, their eyes were filled with excitement and tears, their faces could not be concealed with pride and pride.

Song Qiaoxi\'s slap was red, and she smiled proudly.

Next to her is Mr. Chu, who is sitting in a wheelchair.

Although the old man\'s language function has been restored, the coordination ability of the limbs still needs to continue to rehabilitate.

Rehabilitation treatment is a test of the mentality of family members and patients. It is a road with no end in sight. Even the most professional doctors do not know the specific extent of recovery.

She took out a handkerchief for Grandpa Chu, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and whispered: "Grandpa Chu, you have to laugh, let Chu Jin see you happy so that he can be happy."

"Okay, okay, I want to laugh..." Mr. Chu said slowly, with the corners of his mouth slowly rising, "I want to laugh as much as I want."

-

After that, Chu Jin started the first lesson of the freshman, military training.

In 2008, this group of freshmen, due to the hosting of the Olympic Games, was taken to the barracks for the first time in history. Mobile phones were not allowed and they were completely cut off from the outside world and lived a life of isolation for three weeks.

When Chu Jin came home from the "August 1st Student Military Training Base" in Changping, Song Qiaoxi almost didn\'t dare to recognize him.

He has lost a lot of weight, and he has become a lot darker. Before, he looked as white as a male fairy. He has completely turned into a brave soldier with a shaved head.

but......

To be honest, even if Chu Jin\'s complexion is tanned, and his hair is shaved into a thin bun, he is still handsome, but looks more masculine on the contrary.

After dinner, the two of them went downstairs and walked as usual, first went to the old man Chu\'s house opposite to take Lucky out, and took a dog leash for a walk in the community garden.

At this point, there are not many people walking in the community.

"Gosh, you won\'t be back in vain, are you?" Song Qiaoxi poked Chu\'s thin arm and chuckled, raising her head.

"Do you like white ones?" Chu Jin raised his eyes and smiled. This smiling face is still attractive, "Do you dislike me?"

Song Qiaoxi looked around and no one was paying attention to them, put her hands on Chu Jin\'s shoulders, hung his neck and pecked on Chu Jin\'s chin, and said sweetly: "I don\'t dislike you, I like everything."

Lucky ran around her feet, "humming", and seemed to be begging for a kiss and a hug.

In a few days, Song Qiaoxi will fly to the United States.

There is a 12-hour direct flight from Beijing to Los Angeles. There is a 16-hour time difference between winter time and 15 hours between summer time.

The two people seemed to have a tacit understanding, and neither deliberately mentioned the sad parting of the young couple in love.

Song Qiaoxi thought that Chu Jin was relieved that she would leave.

He took out a piece of Yoha toffee from his pocket, peeled a piece of it and stuffed it in his mouth, and waved it to Chu, "Are you eating it?"

She knew that Chu Jin didn\'t like to eat sweets, so she just asked symbolically.

Just about to put the sugar back into her pocket, she unexpectedly heard Chu Jin reply her, "Yeah."

"Oh, then I\'ll give it to you..." Song Qiaoxi just wanted to say that I would peel one for you, and Chu Jin held her neck in the next second, "Um..."

The mint-scented breath from his body came to his face, Chu Jin held the back of Song Qiaoxi\'s head and pressed his lips to it.

Prying open her teeth easily, a few seconds later, the toffee reached Chu Jin\'s mouth.

"Sweet." Chu Jin hugged Song Qiaoxi\'s waist, wrapped the little person in his arms, smelling the sweet apricot scent on her greedily, and whispered in her ear like a sigh, "Xi Xi, when I arrive in the United States, do I have to wear the ring all the time?"

His voice trembled slightly and his chest was hot.

Song Qiaoxi raised her hand and stroked his back, "Come with me to buy a chain tomorrow, and I will never take it off again until you exchange it for a better one."

Chu Jin heard what she said, and didn\'t want to let her go.

She selfishly wanted to put Song Qiaoxi in her pocket and take it with her wherever she went, or accompany her to the United States with her willful way.

But when he is gone, Uncle Song and Aunt Qiao will inevitably shoulder the responsibility of taking care of Mr. Chu.

Song family Qiao\'s family also has elderly people to take care of. Song Shu and Aunt Qiao are middle-aged. Sometimes, Chu Jin obviously feels that they are no longer young.

Uncle Song’s white hair is already obvious, and he is too tired to say anything when he comes home from work and entertainment. Aunt Qiao’s eyes have wrinkles. The school tasks are under great pressure, and he has even begun to have presbyopia.

Have to admit...

As children, they grew up, and as parents, they grew old.

Chu Zhi thought heavier and thought a lot.

He has experienced all kinds of impermanence since he was a child, and he never believed in fluke in doing things. He hoped that his abilities would be greater so that the Song family could survive any accidents.

He was also a child raised by the Song family. Xi Xi left home for the time being, so he would take care of this home.

He knew that as long as Xi Xi felt that she had a good life in China, National Tsing Hua University was his dream, and she would be able to leave home and study abroad without worry.

But if he tells her his true thoughts, Song Qiaoxi will definitely stay and give up the opportunity to study abroad.

I hope Song Qiaoxi will become the little eagle soaring in the sky and do what she really likes and loves.

Four years, say long is not long, say short is not short.

When she came back, she proposed to her.

He wanted to let Song Qiaoxi and himself become a person on the hukou as soon as he graduated.

-

On September 23, 2008, Song Qiaoxi boarded a flight to LA from the newly completed T3 terminal in Beijing. Wang Junyang and her were on the same flight, and the seats for the two were far apart.

The adults of the Wang family and Song family who came to see off the plane together thought that there was a conflict between the two children.

Uncle Wang patted Wang Junyang\'s head, and said earnestly: "When you arrive in Los Angeles, you and Xixi have to take care of each other. When you were young, Xixi covered you. You are now a big man. Don\'t shame our old Wang family, Bai Chang. Such a big man."

"Dad... are you annoying, people don\'t need my care at all." Wang Junyang ran away from his father\'s "devil\'s grip" impatiently, and stood farther away from the crowd.

"Look at this kid, what you are used to..." Uncle Wang was still thinking about pulling his son back, but was stopped by Mother Wang.

"Don\'t worry about the child\'s affairs, let the children take care of themselves. Who doesn\'t have a small temper? Who says that boys can\'t have emotions? Yangyang is in a bad mood recently, don\'t bother him." Mother Wang pulls Uncle Wang and pats. He comforted his arm, smiled at Song Qiaoxi, and looked at Chu Jin who stood beside her from beginning to end meaningfully, "Xixi is in LA, take care of yourself, don\'t worry about mom and dad, Chu Jin Study hard at National Taiwan University."

"Okay, thank you Mother Wang." Song Qiaoxi also smiled at Mother Wang, and glanced at Chu behind him with some worry.

Seeing his expression relaxed, there was no ups and downs, and he didn\'t speak any more.

It is best to go through the security check for international flights two hours in advance, in addition to the border check and take the shuttle bus.

Song Qiaoxi and Chu Jin both made excuses to go to the bathroom, avoiding everyone\'s sight, hugging and kissing in a hidden corner of the T3 terminal.

Chu Jin hugged her very hard and kissed her lips over and over again.

Song Qiaoxi\'s head was blank, she only catered to him awkwardly subconsciously, and she didn\'t care about occasional people passing by.

Then, she heard Chu Jin whispering in her ears: "Don\'t forget me, Xixi."

"Then you, remember to miss me." Song Qiaoxi buried her head in Chu Jin\'s neck and whispered.

The plane rushed into the sky, seeing the light on the ground getting smaller and smaller, and finally turned into small light spots, and finally disappeared into the darkness.

Song Qiaoxi has been playing a song in a loop in her earphones, "On the horizon of hundreds of millions of feet, in a room with a port view, in a bargaining shop, in the noisy three or four o\'clock in the early morning, but my dear, why are you not by my side... ...."

There were salty teardrops across the corner of his mouth.

It turns out that the taste of parting is salty.

-

The partners who stayed in the country have also officially started their college careers. All of them uploaded tanned photos of freshman military training on the most popular school intranet.

Song Qiaoxi settled down in LA and liked the photos they sent one by one. Before coming, she also registered an account on the school intranet.

Before coming, Song Qiaoxi rented a room with a private bathroom and a dressing room near UCLA through the school forum. This apartment has two rooms in total. The roommate is a sophomore senior from UCLA Film Academy named Li Chuchu.

Li Chuchu is a beautiful and exquisite southern girl. She speaks softly and is never anxious. She is easy to get along with, and cooks very deliciously. She has the virtuous and gentle characteristics of southern girls.

She always loves Song Qiaoxi and learns to say Erhuayin, but every time Erhuayin is wrong, Song Qiaoxi laughs.

Before Song Qiaoxi learned his driver\'s license, Li Chuchu often drove that second-hand beetle and took her to familiar surroundings with her to buy things in the Supermarket, to Sawtelle to eat delicious Japanese-style ramen, and to eat hot pot in the Chinese district in the east. , Cantonese cuisine, Northeastern cuisine, barbecue...

Occasionally, Wang Junyang would come to have a meal with them. The "little awkwardness" between two people slowly faded after half a year, and no one mentioned it again.

When they were in their sophomore year together, Wang Junyang regained his previous hippie smiles, and came to see Song Qiaoxi and Li Chuchu for dinner every other day, and ordered to eat the fried rice cake with crabs made by Li Chuchu.

I have to say that he seems to spend all his learning talents on the most important admission exam.

Like junior high school, Wang Junyang was in the USC Business School, and he had a good time again, but he really started to try to participate in some professional game leagues in the United States.

As a rich second generation, he never cared about his achievements. Even if he didn\'t work well, he could go back to Qizhou and inherit his mother\'s chain beauty salon.

Chu Jin and Song Qiaoxi have voice and video every day, but for young couples in foreign countries, how can this be enough!

Two people can stay together for a short time only during summer vacation each year.

I still stay at home most of the time, and occasionally give a secret kiss, and I have to worry about my parents coming in.

Father Song still stubbornly insisted on his old ideas. Before the girl was twenty, he would never fall in love.

It\'s rare to return to China. Song Qiaoxi didn\'t want to make the atmosphere at home stiff, so she just followed her father and said that she was not in a relationship with Chu Jin for another year.

In the year of Chu Jin\'s sophomore year, because of the rapid development of the website, he was sought after by venture capital. He rejected the funds provided by his grandfather and used his savings to formally register the company in Beijing.

At the end of 2010, he was already the young CEO of an Internet start-up company.

The company address was chosen near Haidian. In order to facilitate both schoolwork and work, Chu Jin rented a two-bedroom apartment near the school.

Whether it was school work or work, I became very busy in 2010. Chu had the only free time, except for the fixed time to accompany his grandfather to rehabilitate, he must set aside one day a week to eat with Uncle Song and Aunt Qiao, and the rest was given to Song Qiaoxi. video.

He dared not stop for a moment, all his energy was devoted to his studies and work, struggling hard for his goals.

Achieving the goal earlier will allow you to spend more time with his "little leader" earlier.

Chu Jin\'s time is very tight. He hopes to buy her a house in Beijing or Qizhou before Xixi graduates.

Song Qiaoxi set up a photography studio with her classmates in her sophomore year, and began to try some commercial activities and participate in photography competitions.

She has very good grades and was praised by the teacher as a very talented student. She can be expected to become a very good photographer in the future.

UCLA\'s relaxed style of study and free atmosphere really suit her, because she is studying a major that she really likes. Even if she often edits and writes papers and stays up until the early hours of the morning, Song Qiaoxi never feels bitter.

Since the second semester of her sophomore year, Song Qiaoxi has had a temperament, and she feels distressed and unhappy with Chu Jin.

Chu Jin was really too busy. He was so busy for a lot of time, talking with Song Qiaoxi\'s voice and video, and fell asleep on the sofa within a few minutes.

She knew he was tired, and felt sorry for him that no one would take care of him, and she still wanted to take care of Grandpa Chu and her parents every day.

What was uncomfortable was that Chu Jin was so tired and so hard that he didn\'t say a word to himself.

However, isn\'t she his "little leader"?

Why are these things not reported to the leaders? !

The more I think, the more angry, the more I think... the more I want to see him, hug him, and kiss him the first time.

Later, Song Qiaoxi found out that she was not angry, but she wanted to miss her too much.

March 24, 2010 was Chu Jin’s 21st birthday. The California university had about two weeks of spring break. Song Qiaoxi simply did nothing but bought a one-way ticket and returned to Beijing from LA on March 22. .

She also remembered that Chu Jin was in Macau and celebrated her 17th birthday alone.

At that time, Song Qiaoxi also said that she also owed him a separate birthday.

Then on Chu Jin\'s 21st birthday, give him a surprise, right?

When returning home this time, Song Qiaoxi only told Ding Miao and Wang Junyang, but no one else, not even his parents.

The two partners also kept secrets for her, don\'t tell me that she has returned to China.

Before leaving, she also asked Wang Junyang to help her take care of Li Chuchu when she was free.

Chu Chu was a little southern girl who looked thin and small. She was not safe in the apartment alone for fear of being spotted.

Wang Junyang agreed very happily.

Ding Miao went to the airport to pick her up. Song Qiaoxi lived in Ding Miao\'s dormitory two days before Chu Jin\'s birthday.

Sister Miao\'s dormitory is in very good condition. It is a quadruple room with a separate bathroom. Two of her graduate students\' roommates are renting an apartment outside. The other is a local in Beijing and often does not come back. Usually Ding Miao is alone in the dormitory.

Back to Ding Miao’s dormitory and put his luggage, Song Qiaoxi yelled to eat roast duck. Ding Miao was so crushed by her that she had to take Song Qiaoxi to a shopping mall near Haidian, where a new "Xiao Da Dong" roast duck was opened. Little girlfriends pick up the dust.

After eating, Ding Miao listened to Song Qiaoxi\'s sweet "complaint" to Chu Jin all the way, and immediately took her to go shopping.

"I\'m so sleepy, Miaomiao, you can let me go back to sleep first, and then get up tomorrow to accompany you to go shopping, okay?" Song Qiaoxi became sleepy when she was full. Excited, jet lag came up and just wanted to sleep.

"What do you sleep? You flew back from the United States so far to run to sleep in my dormitory?" Ding Miao poked Song Qiaoxi\'s forehead with her finger, but she was not angry, and pulled her up to the second floor in the elevator with her voice. I can’t help but improve, "I’m really convinced, Song Qiaoxi, do you know why Chu Jin is so tired? It’s not because you are a little idiot, you two have been together for three years, and you told me you Haven\'t the two slept before?!"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, sister Miao, I beg you. It\'s not because, because we have been living at home, you don\'t know what my dad and your dad are like. Sister Miao, you say it lightly ......" Song Qiaoxi was dumbfounded by Ding Miao\'s words, and let her take her to the door of an underwear shop.

"If you don\'t buy enough five sets of **** underwear today, you are not allowed to come out!" Ding Miao glanced into Song Qiaoxi\'s loose shirt, revealing an expression of "rules are not teachable", and then rolled his eyes to the sky, "I My little ancestor, why are you still wearing Pudding Dog’s children’s underwear. This is what people can see, but how can you get it right..."

After speaking, Ding Miao turned and pulled her, plunged into the pink, white, white, black, black, red, red, hollow tulle lace rabbit tail...
