As soon as the call was connected, Liu Xiaochen took the lead and said: "Teacher Zuo, Master Zhao is by my side. Tell him, really don't wait for me here. I don't know when I will finish my work. Someone is waiting for me. I have nothing to do." Find a way to do it with peace of mind.”

Hearing Liu Xiaochen's determination and understanding her character, Zuo Kunmin told Master Zhao that there was no need to wait for Liu Xiaochen. Before hanging up the phone, Zuo Kunmin said: "I put a sum of money into your card to cover the expenses of the children and you during this period. I will take a taxi when I go back."

Liu Xiaochen wanted to explain that she still had a lot of money in her card and she didn't have much expenses, but Master Zhao was nearby and heard the boarding reminder from him, so he didn't say much, agreed and hung up the phone.

Farewell to Master Zhao, Liu Xiaochen carried his schoolbag and followed the crowd into the campus. As soon as I entered, I felt a subtle sense of strangeness. I slowed down and carefully felt and observed the campus.

On a sunny day shrouded in haze, the sunshine is dull and dull, not warm. The wind was blowing hard and tightly, and the branches on both sides of the road were swaying. Liu Xiaochen looked carefully at the dead branches, and all of them had green sprouts sprouting like stars. Looking at it, joy arises spontaneously.

Liu Xiaochen was looking around and making secret calculations. Go back to the dormitory, get your library card, and pick up the other two books you need to return. Return the books first, read in the library for a while, finish lunch, and then clean up the dormitory when you feel sleepy.

Thinking about it, I arrived in front of the dormitory building and suddenly saw a field of pink and white flowers on the lawn in front of the building, with many people taking photos of them. Liu Xiaochen stopped and looked at it. He saw goose-yellow stamens, white petals, and purple-green calyx. They were apricot flowers.

Looking at it, Liu Xiaochen thought of the apricot tree in the backyard of Grandma Sun Xinxin's house. It was the first apricot tree to bloom in the village every spring. You can see it just seven or eight meters away from Liu Xiaochen's alley. Every time he sees the tree blooming, Liu Xiaochen knows that spring is coming.

well! I haven’t been home for half a year. I wonder if the apricot blossoms in the village have bloomed? Liu Xiaochen suddenly felt a little homesick, and the corners of his eyes were slightly moist. He held up his cell phone to take a picture of the apricot blossoms in front of the building and sent it to Sun Xinxin on WeChat.

Xinxin, this is the apricot tree in front of our dormitory building. Is your grandma’s apricot tree blooming?

There was no reply. Liu Xiaochen looked at the time. It was 9:10. At this time, Sun Xinxin had just gotten on the train. She came to school by car today.

Liu Xiaochen breathed a long sigh of relief, lifted the schoolbag on his shoulder, and stepped forward.

When I arrived at the dormitory, I saw the lock open and hanging on the door. Liu Xiaochen doubtfully took off the lock, pushed the door open and went in. No one was there.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the bed at the door was empty, with the wooden bed boards exposed. That was Hao Qingqing's bed. She really dropped out of school and was gone.

Next to it is his bed. The mattress is rolled up and covered with a large transparent plastic bag.

Liu Xiaochen frowned. He left in a hurry last year and remembered not making the bed. Then he looked at Gu Liya's bed opposite. It was spread out, neat and clean. Like Liu Xiaochen's, Liu Cuili's bed was rolled up and not covered with a plastic bag.

When she was wondering, she heard a knock on the door and saw it was Gu Liya, carrying a large bag of things in each hand. Seeing Liu Xiaochen, Gu Liya greeted Liu Xiaochen with a smile: "Xiaochen, are you here too?"

Liu Xiaochen hurriedly walked up, helped Gu Liya carry the heavy bag, and asked with a smile: "When did you come and why did you buy so many things."

"I came to live with my parents in a house in Beijing on the fifth day of junior high school. They left yesterday afternoon and I came to stay in the dormitory last night." Gu Liya said, raising the bag on the table and said: "I'm in the school supermarket I bought some daily necessities such as garbage bags, disinfectant, and laundry detergent, and thought about cleaning up the dormitory today."

"Let's clean together. But I want to go to the library first to return the books and borrow a few more."

"Then let me go to the library with you and see what our school library looks like. To be honest, I haven't been there yet." Gu Liya said, smiling sheepishly.

The two of them each got their library cards and went to the library together. On the way, the two chatted.

"Are you and Mr. Zuo together?" Gu Liya asked without warning.

Liu Xiaochen's heart skipped a beat and his steps slowed down. He nodded lightly and simply said: "Yeah!"

"You must also know that I confessed my love to him and took some actions." Gu Liya said calmly.

"Yeah!" Liu Xiaochen responded and hurriedly explained: "Teacher Zuo didn't tell me anything about you, and I didn't ask about you either."

"If you want to know, I can tell you everything." Gu Liya said.

Liu Xiaochen stopped, looked at Gu Liya steadily, and affirmed: "I don't want to know! You are the same as them, they are all people and things in his past, and they have nothing to do with me. I just want to make sure that he is wholeheartedly treating me now. It's enough that I'm good." After saying this, he paused again, his tone softened, and said: "And I like and cherish you as a friend very much, and I don't want to affect our friendship because of him."

Gu Liya smiled meaningfully, with tears in her eyes, and said, "Oh! Although I am still a little unwilling and envious of you. But I am also very happy that you still treat me as a friend."

"You are such a good girl, I am honored to be your friend." Liu Xiaochen said, holding Gu Liya's arm, and said: "Let's go quickly, return the books, and let's go back to the dormitory quickly."

The two of them walked quickly to the library. As soon as they arrived at the gate, they saw many people standing around the bulletin board, chatting animatedly.

Liu Xiaochen didn't want to pay attention, but Gu Liya was very curious and pulled Liu Xiaochen to the front to take a look. It is a screening notice for a movie that has not yet been released in theaters and is being performed among college students. Although you can watch it for free, you are required to write a film review of no less than [-] words. These film reviews can be entered into the competition and there will be bonuses.

"Wow, it's "Spring Sunny", played by my favorite actor Chang Xing. I really want to watch it." Gu Liya said excitedly.

Liu Xiaochen looked at the time on the notice. There were three public screenings in total, and there was one in twenty minutes.

"Would you like to watch it later?" Liu Xiaochen asked.

Gu Liya smiled sheepishly and nodded.

"Then hurry up and return the books with me, and we can go read them together. After lunch, we can clean the dormitory together."

After that, the two of them laughed and jumped upstairs quickly.
