Before The College Entrance Examination, 20 Years Later, I Sent A Text Message

2012.

Chen Yu's college life has passed for more than a month. He will check his Qianyu mobile phone every few days to see if the 37-year-old self has replied to his text messages recently.

Especially recently, he kept the Qianyu mobile phone by his hand every night, reading and studying while waiting for text messages from the future.

However, as time went by, the 37-year-old himself did not reply to his messages.

This made him have to think more.

Because based on the experience of the past few months, he and his 37-year-old self can talk once or twice a month.

The rule he summed up is that about 30 to 31 days apart, he and his 37-year-old self can successfully connect, either for one night, or two consecutive nights.

However, it has been 37 days since the call last month.

Is it that we can no longer connect successfully in the future?

Or...the 37-year-old me who doesn't want to talk to me lately? Want to temporarily stay in the time and space where he is currently?

He remembered that during the last call, the 37-year-old himself had mentioned three conditions to him, one of which was that the 37-year-old himself would not reply to his messages often in the future, and on his side, he was not allowed to mess around, deliberately As a result, the time and space of the 37-year-old self have changed.

In the library late at night.

The young Chen Yu looked away from the textbook in front of him, glanced at the Qianyu mobile phone lying quietly by his hand, and frowned slightly.

Being able to connect with his future self is like opening up his life.

And once he has tasted the taste of the plug-in, he certainly doesn't want his plug-in to fail one day.

He's not afraid that the 37-year-old himself doesn't want to contact him recently.

What he is worried about is that there is a problem with the mobile phone signal across time and space, and he is afraid that he will never receive text messages from his 37-year-old self in the future.

but……

After a long silence, with a sigh, he also thought about it.

If the reason is that his 37-year-old doesn't want to be in touch with him lately, he should respect the meaning of "him".

And if there is a problem with the signal across time and space, then no matter how worried he is, it will not help.

So, so be it!

Live your current life first, as to whether you can still contact your 37-year-old self?

- Let time give the answer.

Putting aside the troubles in his heart, he packed up his emotions and continued to look down at his junior high school Chinese textbook.

Something is weird.

At the beginning, he thought it was difficult to learn the junior high school courses. Now when he goes back to study, he somehow finds it very easy.

He felt that it was not the reason for the memory palace mnemonic method. It seemed that when he finished high school courses and went back to review the knowledge of junior high school, he really felt that it was much less difficult.

This discovery made him happy.

It also gave him more confidence, believing that he could learn the knowledge of junior and senior high school well and thoroughly as soon as possible.

...

The peaceful days passed by day by day.

The college life of the young Chen Yu was very fulfilling every day. In addition to class, he arranged all his spare time every day.

He rarely spends the night in the school dormitory.

Almost every night, I go to my rented house off-campus to review my junior high school knowledge.

Every evening, he would take two hours to go to the martial arts club to do horse steps and play sandbags. After sweating, he would return to the place where he rented to take a shower.

After taking a shower, my body was languid. When I didn't want to move, I made a video call with Jiang Wenwen, not only to protect their relationship, but also to relax my body and mind.

In the middle of the night after that, he spent almost all of his time in the study.

Such days, compared to his high school days, were naturally much harder.

However, just like fitness is addictive, hard work is actually addicting.

It’s like writing online articles, every day, every year. If you suddenly stop writing one day, you will not be able to sleep at night, you will always feel that you have fallen, and you will feel guilty in your heart. The longer he studied hard, the more he felt unable to stop.

He liked the feeling of hard work more and more.

The more knowledge he learned every day, the more at ease he felt. He was no longer the same as before. When he saw a scholar, he felt that he was a head shorter than the other party, even if the other party's real height was actually a lot shorter than him.

On weekends, he would spare a day to accompany Jiang Wenwen.

He feels that Jiang Wenwen, who has entered the university campus, has changed a lot recently.

Dressing and makeup are much more fashionable than before.

This gave him a sense of crisis.

She is worried that she will be more and more beautiful, and she will attract many boys to pursue her in their school. After all, he is not in the same school as her and cannot be together every day, which makes it easy to be poached.

However, there was only a trace of crisis in his heart.

Because now he is not what he used to be. He is now a student of Shuimu University, and Shuimu University is a top university in China. Its grade is far higher than the Jingcheng School of Finance and Economics that Jiang Wenwen studied. Therefore, those boys in her school are in In terms of education, none of them are his opponents.

He believed that Jiang Wenwen could see clearly and know how to choose.

Moreover, the conditions of his family are far superior to before.

The building that his mother bought for him is being renovated recently!

He felt that under such conditions, Jiang Wenwen would have no reason to empathize.

only……

He couldn't forget that the 37-year-old himself once told him that Jiang Wenwen was never "his" wife in so many time and space "he" had experienced.

So, where is the problem?

Is she going to break up with me?

Or we are not in the same school, and I usually focus on study and spend too little time with her? So neglecting her feelings?

So that would lead to a breakup?

Or will the future I take the initiative to dump her?

He didn't ask his 37-year-old self the specific reason for breaking up with Jiang Wenwen, so he could only guess.

Then remind myself that I have to communicate with Jiang Wenwen every day, and I have to take one day every week to accompany her.

During the National Day in October, he accompanied Jiang Wenwen to visit all the famous scenic spots in the capital.

Including the Forbidden City and the Great Wall.

I also took her to taste a lot of Beijing's delicacies.

In the blink of an eye, it's December.

What makes Chen Yu melancholy is that in recent months, the text messages he sent to his 37-year-old self have never been answered.

Send past video requests and never get through.

Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder if the connection between himself and his 37-year-old self was real? Or is it just a dream?

Have you really contacted your 37-year-old self?

...

On the evening of December 23rd.

Chen Yu came to the martial arts club's practice room as usual to make horse steps.

Today is Sunday, and there are very few people in the practice room, only him and the president Tang Hongjie.

It was very quiet all around.

Chen Yu, who was squatting by the wall, was involuntarily attracted to Tang Hongjie, who was practicing palm techniques in the middle of the room.

He thinks this President Tang Hongjie is very strange. He is so beautiful and not too young. He even spends time in this practice room every evening and doesn't go to a meeting? Does she have no interest in love?

There are only the two of them in the practice room today, and Chen Yu's gaze naturally fell into Tang Hongjie's eyes.

After the palm technique practice was completed again, Tang Hongjie looked at Chen Yu who was still squatting, and she pondered a little, and she walked towards Chen Yu.
