When Yancuo got home, his aunt had already prepared dinner and his uncle was fiddling with his gadgets. The living room was lit with warm lights, and it looked warm and beautiful.
Yu Muyang was in a hurry, so he declined their invitation to stay for dinner. He said goodbye and prepared to leave. Yan Cuo saw him off to the entrance of the alley, still a little reluctant to let him go.
"Go back and drive carefully, don't drive too fast."
"I know." He gave her a comforting smile, "Go back quickly, it's getting dark. I'll call you later."
Yan Cuo nodded and watched the car drive out of the alley. She turned back only when it was out of sight.
Even when she sat at the dining table, Yan Cuo was still a little dazed. So many things had happened today that she found it difficult to digest them all.
She asked uncertainly, "Uncle and Aunt, did I really graduate from high school?"
Seeing her like this, Yu Ruhai laughed, "Are you confused by the exam? You've got your luggage back. You've officially graduated from high school and will be a college student from now on."
"It just feels so sudden, time flies so fast." Yan Cuo replied vaguely while eating the rice in the bowl.
"Growing up is a good thing. Don't all children look forward to growing up? They all want to become adults." Zhong Hongmei said without surprise, "I see that you are usually buried in books. Now you are relaxed and you are not used to it."
Yan Cuo nodded, "Maybe. I suddenly relaxed and didn't know what to do."
"Silly child, now that you've graduated, you should have some fun, sleep in, and relax. You've been too tense this year. Look how thin you have become, and you have dark circles under your eyes. I don't know how long it has been since you had a good sleep." Zhong Hongmei felt a little distressed when she saw her appearance, and her tone was full of worry.
As he spoke, he added a lot of dishes to her bowl, and soon it piled up into a small hill. Yan Cuo felt a little helpless, but looking at their expectant eyes, he still finished eating it all.
After dinner, Yan Cuo was very full and was about to walk around, but Yu Ruhai pulled her aside and said mysteriously, "Yan Cuo, you are eighteen years old now. You have been obedient and sensible over the years. I think you should be rewarded. Tell me what you want, and your uncle will definitely satisfy you."
Yan Cuo was a little embarrassed, "Uncle, the college entrance examination results haven't come out yet. Besides, I don't need anything right now, so you don't have to buy me anything."
"How can that be? I see other people's parents reward their children with computers and cell phones. How about I buy you a computer? It will be convenient for you to go to school when the time comes." Yu Ruhai was a little stubborn, and his tone was unusually firm.
He wouldn't tell me because he saw Li Ru, a girl with mediocre grades, at the entrance of the alley. After the college entrance examination, her parents bought her a new computer.
That child’s grades aren’t as good as Yancuo’s, so how can she not have Yancuo, who she has?
That's what he was thinking, so when he came back, he had some ideas in mind. Then, regardless of Yancuo's refusal, he pushed her in and said, "Okay, don't say anything. I've already made up my mind. I'll go to the computer mall tomorrow to help you choose one."
Yan Cuo felt a little helpless, but seeing his uncle's somewhat tough attitude, he didn't say no.
I know my uncle wants to be nice to me, but college costs a lot of money, and I don’t want them to work so hard.
In the end, he didn't say anything, but during the long vacation, Yan Cuo wanted to do something.
I'd heard from classmates that tutoring was a good part-time job, easy, and well-paid. Yancuo planned to ask around later, and it seemed like it might be okay for him to teach elementary school students.
Because he had slept for a long time during the day, Yancuo was now completely sleepless. He looked out at the starry sky and the incessant chirping of cicadas. This summer, he had finally learned to separate and let go.
Yan Cuo thought about it, picked up his phone, and sent a message to Su He, "Are you home yet?"
"I've arrived a long time ago and have already finished dinner. How about you?"
"I'm home too. What are you doing now?" Su He had just finished a game of Honor of Kings. It was Gu Xuran who taught her. She finally became a King and was extremely happy.
"Su He, what do you think about being a tutor? I heard the salary is pretty good and they charge by the hour."
Su He thought about it and said, "It's pretty good, but it would be a bit troublesome if I ran into a naughty child. What's wrong? Do you want to do this?"
"Well, I want to give it a try. College expenses are too high. I want to make some money during the summer vacation to relieve some of the pressure on my uncle and aunt."
Su He hadn't thought of this before, but now that Yan Cuo mentioned it, he remembered, "Yeah, how could I have forgotten? Then I'll go with you. Let's go and have a look together when we're free. I'm very confident in teaching elementary school students."
"Well, when I have time, I'll go take a look and find out."
Su He glanced at his phone and said, "I'm going to stop talking. Today is my king's moment. Hahahaha, I'm going to continue playing."
"Okay, go and have fun." Yan Cuo could imagine Su He's excited look now. She has always been like this, never hiding herself in anything she does. She laughs when she is happy and cries when she is unhappy. It's simple, pure and clean.
Yancuo found a large box, packed all his high school books into it, and sealed it. These books and review materials carried a memory of their teenage years, all the hard work they had put into it.
It is the memory of youth when one worked hard and fought for a dream, and it is the carrier of all the sweat and tears.
That was once his dream high school, but now it seemed like just a blink of an eye, and three years were over. Yan Cuo still remembered what he looked like when he first arrived, and now he was about to leave.
It seems that growing up means constantly experiencing separation, constantly rushing to the next place, meeting different people, and starting to write different stories.
Yan Cuo didn't know how to describe his current mood. He felt a little lost and reluctant.
As the books were sealed, the memories of the past seemed to be sealed as well. In the future, she still had to move forward and go to more places.
By the time everything was cleaned up, it was already nine o'clock. Yan Cuo took a shower and lay down on the bed, playing with his mobile phone out of boredom.
Feeling a little bored, she sat up and looked at the familiar tree in front of the window. How she wished that figure could appear under the tree again.
But he is far away now and will not appear here.
Why have I become so clingy? I start missing him after just a short while of not seeing him.
I picked up my phone, found his number, hesitated for a moment, and dialed it.
The phone rang several times, but no one answered. Yan Cuo felt a little disappointed, thinking about what he said, that he would contact him in the evening.
Maybe I forgot.
