Aoba Office

I heard the heartbeat. It's not mine, but Ruan Yuxia's.

Her heart was beating fast, and she was excited and looking forward to it.

I heard a vague voice coming from a distance, which seemed to be the voice of Ruan Yuxia, a female classmate.

"...When school starts next semester, he will come to report..."

The voice seemed to come from Ruan Yuxia's memory. Ruan Yuxia's heartbeat did not drown out the sound. In Ruan Yuxia's sight was the campus and the notebook.

But I saw the light of fire.

This is not an illusion.

Fire and black smoke swept across my vision.

I coughed twice subconsciously, trying to get rid of the thick smoke that blocked my sight.

I saw Ruan Yuxia lying on the ground. There were tears on her face, her body was shaking, and her eyes were slowly losing focus.

I didn't have time to think too much and instinctively reached out to her.

My hand was empty.

The black smoke has disappeared.

I saw the ground covered with ashes and felt a hint of gloom.

I turned my head suddenly and saw Ruan Yuxia standing behind me, looking down at the ground.

The door was opened.

A middle-aged man and woman came in. They looked haggard. The man slumped down on the chair, ignoring the dust on it. The woman moved to the room. There were some noises coming from the room.

After a while, the woman came out and said softly: "Let's put things away first. Sort out everything that can be used."

The man stood up and helped sort out the ruins.

Ruan Yuxia wiped her face and turned to look at the middle-aged man and woman.

The surrounding scene changed again.

I followed Ruan Yuxia and floated on the street.

Ruan Yuxia followed the middle-aged man and woman.

They entered the building with a sign from the Civil Affairs Bureau.

The divorce process was completed quickly. The two people's expressionless expressions prevented the staff from saying anything unnecessary and quickly went through all the procedures for them according to the procedures.

Ruan Yuxia looked in a daze. She was either very sad or angry, just in a state of being empty.

She watched her parents being devastated by her own death and unable to face it, and then watched them start their own families and regain happiness.

All these contents seemed to be fleeting and passed in the blink of an eye.

I came back to my senses and found that I was on a familiar campus.

The student union sign is right in front of you.

The school has not changed much in a few years.

Ruan Yuxia passed through the door, entered the student union's office, and looked for the lost property register in the cabinet.

There is no one in the student union office now, so she can just look through these things. The register has been in existence for a long time, and a book has been used for many years but has not been used.

After Ruan Yuxia flipped through a few pages, she found what she had written.

"Advanced Mathematics Notebook × 1", "Found in Classroom 204, Comprehensive Teaching Building", with a date and signature on the back. In the last column, there is no signature taken away by the owner.

Ruan Yuxia lost her mind again and turned around to look for the box where the lost items were placed.

This box looked like it hadn't been touched for a long time, and the bottom was covered in dust.

Ruan Yuxia doesn't have to worry about this.

I watched her rummaging through the box and finally found an old hardcover copy from the bottom. The paper on the cover has turned yellow and the writing is blurred. The edges of the front and back covers of the hard case are furred and scratched. After opening it, the handwriting inside was intact, but when Ruan Yuxia looked at it, she felt a sense of a distant era in her heart.

I was infected by her emotion, and just like her, I felt a little dazed.

It seems like everything happened yesterday.

Yesterday, Ruan Yuxia was still in a joyful mood, waiting to know who the owner of the notebook was. But in the blink of an eye, everything changed. The owner of the notebook never appeared.

I feel sad for Ruan Yuxia, and I am also a little confused.

If Ruan Yuxia never knew who the owner of the notebook was, I would not be able to know the answer if this dream continued.

No one knows the answer.

In this way, wouldn't it mean that Ruan Yuxia's wish would never be fulfilled?

Although she has successfully reincarnated, as an insider and bystander, she always feels uncomfortable in her heart.

I looked at Ruan Yuxia.

She lowered her head, and the half of her face showed no expression.

After waiting for a while, footsteps were heard outside.

Ruan Yuxia hurriedly put away the lost property register, but she still held the notebook in her arms.

The door of the student union office was opened, and several students walked in happily. Of course they didn't find Ruan Yuxia.

Ruan Yuxia ran out from the open door. She ran to another small building shaded by green trees.

There was no sign at the entrance of the building, and I had no idea about the campus conditions of Minqing Jiaotong University.

But when I walked into the building, I saw the notice board hanging in the lobby.

Ruan Yuxia is a student here, but she looked up at the notice board for a long time.

Above is the distribution of offices in the building. This should be the building of the Academic Affairs Office and the teacher's office.

I scanned around and found the manager's office.

Ruan Yuxia was also found.

She walked slowly up the stairs, and when she arrived at several offices in the School of Economics and Management, she felt a little confused.

She should be very clear in her heart. The owner of the notebook has graduated and cannot appear here.

Ruan Yuxia lowered her head and slowly left the academic building and went to the school library.

There is a wall of outstanding alumni in the library of Jiaotong University. Probably, all well-known universities across the country will have such a wall. But such a wall would obviously not have the latest list of graduates.

Ruan Yuxia was at a loss, still holding the notebook in her arms.

I thought about the student list. It should be in the archives of the library, but I don’t know how to find it.

Nangong Yao seems to be good at this, but I have no clue. Even if I knew, I couldn't help Ruan Yuxia.

Ruan Yuxia just wandered around the campus. Most of the time, I sit in classroom 204 and look through my notebook.

I feel that now she is no longer as obsessed as a young girl with spring in mind. She just feels lonely.

When I sit with her, I will be infected by that loneliness.

I also feel helpless.

I don't know what to do in this situation.

The classroom environment changed at this time.

Many people came out of the empty classroom.

This section is about meditation, and many people are deserting.

I saw mobile phones that were both familiar and unfamiliar. It’s not a smart phone, it’s a candy bar phone, a clamshell phone, a slider phone… This scene seems a bit ridiculous to me.

Ruan Yuxia's performance was ordinary. She should have been on campus watching this change happen.

My relaxed spirit suddenly became tense, and I turned my head to look at the seat next to the wall.

That kind of stinging pain and ominous breath...

Ruan Yuxia also turned her head and sat up straight.

In the corner over there, a boy was looking down at his mobile phone, while his hand on the table was doodling on the textbook. He didn't draw a bald teacher or a cute little picture, but a strange pattern.

It was a bit far away and I couldn't actually see it clearly, but I still felt uncomfortable all over. That chilly feeling makes the hair on one's hair stand on end.

The get out of class bell rang at this time.

Before the teacher could say anything, the students had already started to make a fuss and packed up their things spontaneously. Moreover, someone had already packed things in advance.

"Okay, get out of class is over." The teacher said, hugged his two books and left.

"Tong Shuai, let's go." A boy said in the corner over there.

My eyes widened, and I felt like "that's it" again.

The boy who was watching before raised his head and said, "You guys go first, I'm going to the library."

Most people in the classroom have left. Tong Shuai just packed up his things and walked out quickly.

I looked at Ruan Yuxia.

Ruan Yuxia looked hesitant and hugged the notebook to her chest. She pinched the notebook with a little force of her fingers. Suddenly, she stood up, passed through the rows of desks and chairs, and flew outside the classroom.
