He was always alone.

His gaze fell to his wrist, and finally he untied the red rope between his wrists and put it into the box, heaving a sigh of relief as if completely relieved.

The continuous rain in the border town has stopped, like his long youthful period, and the end of his love with the end of the rainy season——

It's all over.

Chapter 75

At the end of July, the border town was full of cicadas. Shen Chi put on headphones and sat in front of the computer to watch the introduction of the new version of the game.

Suddenly the door of the rental house slammed hurriedly. He took off his earphones and opened the door. Zhuangzhou's face came into his eyes: "What's the matter?"

"You are the champion of the county!"

Compared with the dull-looking Shen Chi, Zhuangzhou was so excited that he could not breathe calmly. He watched Shen Chi come to study day and night, and Shen Chi was happier than he was last year when he took the No. 2 exam.

"knowledge."

The boy's tone was calm.

"How do you know?" Zhuangzhou asked suspiciously. Shen Chi started watching the game as soon as the college entrance examination was over. He guessed that he didn't even know the score today.

"Who can't hear Mr. Wang's loudspeaker." The boy sat back in the chair and asked before putting on the headphones again, "How did you do in the test?"

Zhuangzhou heard the words and walked out of the window. From the window, he could see Mr. Wang riding a tattered bicycle with a loudspeaker borrowed from the street office. The same message was scrolling through the loudspeaker: "Shen Chi, a third middle school student. He scored 678 points in the college entrance examination and won the county champion."

He twitched the corners of his eyes, and it was no wonder that Shen Chi had a helpless expression on his face. When he was about to leave the room, the boy suddenly asked, "How did you do in the test?"

"Yan Shen is one point higher than last year's third line. Shi Liang and I should be fine on the second line. I don't know if we can go to Yanda University. We haven't traveled far."

"Being close enough to live together."

Shen Chi put on his headphones.

Zhuangzhou understood Shen Chi's temperament, and the tone was already happy. Although Shen Chi didn't react, he suddenly had a very strange feeling when he looked at the boy facing the screen.

The first time he saw Shen Chi, the teenager was also playing games with headphones on. He skipped class and went to an Internet cafe to play games.

In the old-fashioned Internet cafe, he never thought that they would be able to go to university and have the opportunity to walk out of the remote border town and see the outside world together.

Ji's mother gave birth to a son without risk. She returned home from the hospital and named Ji An.

Aunt Ji hugged Ji An and said, "He has a high forehead, so he looks promising."

Dad Ji gave Ji An milk powder with a smile: "I don't expect him to be more promising. He can go to a university and find a serious job. It's not like we get up early and stay late at night."

"An An doesn't look like Shen Chi." Aunt Ji coaxed Ji An in her arms, and suddenly remembered something and said, "I remember the announcement of the college entrance examination results today? I don't know if Shen Chi has taken the exam."

Ji's mother was stunned, because it was very difficult for an elderly mother to conceive Ji An, and she forgot to pay attention to the college entrance examination.

"He doesn't care about reading."

In the face of the newborn, Ji's father's tone was no longer severe. He didn't care about Shen Chi's college entrance examination score at all, and carefully fed Ji An with milk powder.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Dad Ji opened the door. All of them were acquaintances with gifts, and the small living room seemed more crowded.

"It's all here. What gifts do you bring?" Aunt Ji took the gift with a smile and lowered Ji An's swaddling clothes. "You see An An's small nose and eyes, it was carved in the same mold as his father."

But what she didn't expect was that everyone didn't look at Ji An, but looked at the room, as if they were looking for someone, and one person asked, "Is Shen Chi not here?"

"Shen Chi?" Aunt Ji didn't know why she suddenly mentioned this name. "He's causing trouble again? Let's say it has nothing to do with us. I don't even see him at ordinary times."

A highly respected old man on crutches entered the door surrounded by the crowd: "Shen Chi scored 678 points in the college entrance examination. This is a major event that will be included in the county annals. I'm here to discuss how to organize the entrance banquet."

"Elder Zhuo, you... read it wrong?"

Dad Ji knows nothing better than Shen Chi. He only has games in his eyes. He doesn't believe that he can win the county's champion in just one year.

"The school has posted it, so what can be wrong?" Zhuo Lao said dissatisfiedly, "Biancheng hasn't given birth to a new student for many years. Today, the entrance banquet is going to be a big one. You don't have to pay for the cost. What about the child?"

Dad Ji hadn't spoken to Shen Chi for a long time, and he didn't know how to explain their situation. When he was embarrassed, Aunt Ji agreed: "September 3rd is Xiao Chi's birthday, and I think the entrance banquet will be here. I do it that day, and I inform him that he must be on time."

When the crowd dispersed, Ji's father remained dumbfounded. He never imagined that one day he would be envied by others because of Shen Chi. He couldn't help but say to Aunt Ji, "Xiao Chi is withdrawn, what if he doesn't go?"

"You call him, don't say that he was admitted to Yanda University. Even if he becomes a high official, you are his father. He doesn't recognize that you are going to be stabbed in the spine."

When Dad Ji heard the last sentence, he breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, he was also Shen Chi's father.

And Aunt Ji was already calculating how many red envelopes she could receive, and she said plainly: "There will definitely be more people going by then. I will help you, and the red envelopes received are mine."

Ji Ma, who was sitting on the bed, said, "I always feel bad."
