Life is more than just living

The graduation ceremony was grand and lively, with Liu Jingsheng and Han Yidao sitting around Chen Xu. Han Yidao said that he wanted to witness the important moment of Chen Xu's graduation. He knew that Chen Xu's hard work all the way to this day was unimaginable. Liu Jingsheng wants to be a photographer and take pictures of two people. Because of Liu Jingsheng's presence, people in the front row turned back frequently. Liu Jingsheng's appearance is so good that people who don't know him think he is a newly debuted star. Someone whispered, "So that beauty's boyfriend is so good-looking!" "Handsome guys and beauties are perfect matches." There were so many people in the auditorium that Han Yidao didn't hear everyone's comments, otherwise he would be jealous again.

It was June and the weather was very hot, but the graduate representatives were all dressed up. Liu Jingsheng and Han Yidao both murmured, why do they have to learn from foreign countries to get their academic robes and caps, even on such a hot day? But because this day was very important to Chen Xu, neither of them said it.

Watching outstanding student representatives go up to the stage to receive their degree certificates and graduation certificates, and the principal placing the tassels and crowns, it was a full sense of ceremony. Chen Xu kept applauding in the audience. She was calm on the surface, but actually very excited inside. She covered her chest with her hands and said silently: Teacher Lin, I graduated from college! Thank you for giving me kindness and strength in the darkest time of my life. I will live well and be the best version of myself in the future.

Chen Xu usually looks cold and calm, but today he can't be calm. The principal said in his speech: "...students must have high aspirations...use the knowledge they have learned to build the country and serve the people... "Chen Xu felt a little ashamed. He had no lofty ideals and just wanted to live a good life. The ceremony ended with a group photo session. The graduation photos had been taken in advance, but because everyone was leaving school to part ways, there were still many people walking together to take photos. Chen Xu usually doesn't have much contact with the classmates in the class. He is only familiar with the students in his dormitory, but today he was very cooperative and would not refuse any classmate who asked for a photo. At this time, Li Yanan and Jin Yu also ran over. After all, during their freshman year, six people lived in the same dormitory. Lin Zihan and Wang Yuqi were also very cooperative and did not exclude Jin Yu. Jin Yu looked at Liu Jingsheng, who was Chen Xu's photographer, and asked in surprise, "Who is this handsome guy?" Chen Xu smiled and said, "My friend." Jin Yu muttered, "No wonder, birds of a feather flock together, and beauty's All my friends are handsome guys." Han Yidao couldn't help but laugh next to him. Wang Yuqi looked at Liu Jingsheng and suddenly remembered who he was. At this time, someone came to Wang Yuqi to take a group photo, and she no longer cared about the nymphomaniac.

After a chaotic group photo, Han Yidao and Chen Xu strolled on campus. Han Yidao looked at the familiar surroundings and said, "There is no difference between this place and when I graduated five years ago." The two of them stopped and walked around the campus, and Liu Jingsheng kept taking pictures with a professional camera. Chen Xu looked at Liu Jingsheng busy and couldn't help but said, "It's a hot day, aren't you tired? Stop working so hard!" Liu Jingsheng wiped the sweat from his head, "You're not tired, today is a good day for you. It's an important day, it's a big day, I want to take more photos for you so that you can remember this scene when you look at it later."

Han Yidao asked Chen Xu when he was going to pack his things and said that Liu Jingsheng had a car and could help pull the luggage back. Chen Xu said that the things had been packed long ago and could be taken away at any time. Two men were going to help her move her things. When I arrived at the dormitory, I saw that Fang Jia's things had already been moved away. Wang Yuqi is leaving in two days and is going to the cafeteria to eat. Lin Zihan was packing things and gave some unnecessary things to the cleaning aunt. When Chen Xu came in with Han Yidao and Liu Jingsheng, she was startled, then looked at Liu Jingsheng and said, "Sorry, handsome guy, can I ask, have we met somewhere before?" Chen Xu said with a smile, "Just now he Help us take photos." Lin Zihan said: "I didn't mean just now, I didn't notice it just now, I seem to have seen him before." Chen Xu thought for a while and said: "By the way, that Han who invited us to dinner last time Auntie is his mother, you have seen his photo at that time!"

Lin Zihan still looked at Liu Jingsheng carefully without giving up. Liu Jingsheng was very annoyed. There were too many people who were amazed by his appearance. He had seen all kinds of crappy ways of picking up conversations. He really didn't like nymphomaniacs. Chen Xu had very few things. Liu Jingsheng picked up his suitcase and was about to leave. Chen Xu and Lin Zihan said goodbye. When they were about to leave, Lin Zihan shouted again, "Wait a minute, handsome guy, I really think I've seen you before." "Yes, what's your name?" Liu Jingsheng was impatient and didn't want to talk to her. Chen Xu grabbed him and formally introduced him to Lin Zihan and said, "This is my friend, Liu Jingsheng; Jingsheng, this is my classmate Lin Zihan. She has given me a lot of help." When the two people heard each other's name, they were both stunned. .

Lin Zihan changed his usual calm and indifferent attitude, rushed over and took Liu Jingsheng's arm and said, "Are you brother Jingsheng? Grandpa Liu's grandson?" Liu Jingsheng put down the suitcase in his hand, "Zihan, you are Uncle Lin's daughter Lin Zihan ?" Lin Zihan excitedly took Liu Jingsheng's hand and said to him: "Yes, why haven't you gone to your grandfather's house after all these years? I haven't seen you for a long time. When I was a child, I often asked your cousin Liu Chuyi, I asked you when to come!"

Seeing the lively conversation between the two people, Chen Xu asked, "Do you two know each other?" Lin Zihan said, "We knew each other when we were children. Two years ago, Jingsheng's brother went to his grandfather's place to spend the winter and summer vacations. At that time, I also I was in kindergarten. Every day when I came back from kindergarten, I would run to play with brother Jingsheng. At that time, brother Jingsheng was very good to me. He would accompany me in all the games I played. Unfortunately, he stopped going to Grandpa Liu’s house later. I was sad. It's been a long time! Why didn't you come later?" This latter sentence was asked to Liu Jingsheng.

Chen Xu didn't know for a moment whether he should leave and leave time to these two people, or whether he should stay here with them. Han Yidao said to Liu Jingsheng: "Jingsheng, today you go to catch up with your friends. Chen Xu and I are going back first. Come back to pick up your luggage another day."

Liu Jingsheng quickly said: "Let's have dinner together at noon!" Before Han Yidao and Chen Xu could speak, Lin Zihan quickly agreed, "Okay, I'll fly tomorrow and I'm free today." Now among the four, only Liu Jingsheng has a car, and Liu Jingsheng said luggage Put it here first and come up to get it after you finish eating. Liu Jingsheng drove several people to the hotel. Liu Jingsheng drove, Han Yidao sat in the passenger seat, and Chen Xu and Lin Zihan sat in the back. Lin Zihan talked endlessly about the past events between him and Liu Jingsheng, "When I was young, there were no girls of my age in our courtyard, so I always played behind the boys, but these boys were more naughty. He would make me cry at every turn, but Brother Jingsheng would not, he would protect me. At that time, when Brother Jingsheng went back to his home, I would count the days and look forward to his vacation. Later, Brother Jingsheng stopped coming, and I It was quite sad. Then I went to elementary school and gradually forgot about it. There were too many people helping to take pictures today, and I didn’t notice it. Fortunately, you went to the dormitory to get your luggage, otherwise you would have missed it again."

When he arrived at the restaurant, he ordered food. While waiting for the food, Chen Xu jokingly said to Liu Jingsheng, "You haven't told me about Lin Zihan, otherwise you two would have seen each other long ago." Liu Jingsheng sighed helplessly, "I thought Zihan Zihan had forgotten about me a long time ago. She was still so young at that time. She was just a little girl in kindergarten. I didn’t like to play fighting and killing games with children of the same age, so I played with Zihan every day. At that time The boys in the yard still laughed at me. But at that time, I was quite happy to see Zihan relying on me."

Lin Zihan kept asking: "Brother Jingsheng, why didn't you come to Beijing anymore?" Liu Jingsheng scratched his head and said: "There are two reasons: one is that my grandfather was disappointed with my father, because my father transferred from the army for my mother. When we got there, my grandpa said that my dad was greedy for his wife and son and had no future. On the other hand, my grandpa said that my personality was soft and not like a boy. He especially didn’t let me play with you every day. He said that I should just play outside like a boy. Playing fighting games instead of accompanying a little girl to watch ants move. Grandpa became less and less fond of us, father and son, and later we were less willing to go to Beijing. Grandpa always disliked us when he talked about it. One day My grandfather came here in [-] and wanted to take me to Beijing to train me. I couldn’t bear to leave my mother, and my mother couldn’t bear to leave me either. My grandfather left in anger. My mother never let me go to my grandfather’s house again for fear of being left behind. Later, my grandfather If he dies, we won’t go there.”

Lin Zihan said, "You are the only boy among the younger generation in your family, so I must have high hopes for you. Grandpa Liu was born in the army, and he definitely hopes that you will go to the melting pot of the army to exercise. Fortunately, it is far away. If you are in Beijing, you will definitely Forcing you to join the army."

Chen Xu never expected that Lin Zihan, who had been living in the same dormitory with her for four years, was actually Liu Jingsheng's childhood friend. She saw the two chatting happily and was very happy for them. Both of them were good people, and Liu Jingsheng had very few friends. She was very happy to see that there was another person close to Liu Jingsheng. Lin Zihan took the initiative to pick up his phone, left Liu Jingsheng’s contact information, and added WeChat QQ.

Lin Zihan looked at Liu Jingsheng, "Brother Jingsheng, I will go abroad soon. I have no friends there. If you miss us in China, can I call you?" Liu Jingsheng said repeatedly. He asked: "Which country are you going to?"

Lin Zihan said, "Go to the University of Birmingham in England." Liu Jingsheng quickly said, "I have a sister who lives in Manchester. You can go there during the holidays. I'll say hello to her in advance." Lin Zihan shook his head and said, "Thank you, Brother Jingsheng, but there's no need to trouble you. Sister, my degree program is only one year, and the course schedule is relatively tight, and I don’t have time to travel around. I hope to complete my studies as soon as possible and come back, and I’m not afraid of your jokes. Currently, there are no one-year postgraduate programs in China. I feel that it is too much of a waste of time. So I want to come back immediately after studying abroad.”

Chen Xu felt strange as he listened to the names of these universities and cities. He and Lin Zihan studied in the same university and lived in the same dormitory, but their vision and structure were different. Lin Zihan had made plans and arrangements when he entered college at the age of eighteen or nineteen. As for Chen Xu, he just hoped to get a job after graduation and have enough food and clothing. It turns out that people are so different. Lin Zihan looked at Liu Jingsheng with a smile, "Brother Jingsheng, the last time I saw your photo on Aunt Han's phone, I thought you were so handsome. Forgive me, I didn't recognize you at the time. But when I saw you in person, I suddenly thought Woke up."

Liu Jingsheng smiled, "I'm very happy that you can remember me." Chen Xu pretended to be regretful and said: "Liu Jingsheng, you still said that I was your first friend. Let's see if I don't take a back seat now." Second place." Lin Zihan laughed beside him, "Oh, don't be jealous about this. At that time, I was just a little follower behind Brother Jingsheng. He regarded me as a little sister and not a friend. .So you are still his first good friend, so now we are going to be friends, I will be second in line behind you, right?" Several people laughed heartily when they heard this.
