Chapter 16 Cracks

The sunset in late spring coated the campus with a layer of light gold, and the tender green willow branches fluttered with the wind. I sat alone in the pavilion, looking at the scenery in front of me, and my mood was as calm as still water.

Suddenly there was a sound of "boom", a stone hit the center of the water, sparkling waves appeared on the surface of the pool, and the fallen flowers all over the pool suddenly rippled slightly around, circle after circle, It is very beautiful.When I turned around, I saw Lin Qingjun standing aside with a smile on her face, her face was still beautiful, but there was a hint of vicissitudes hidden between her brows.

She looked at me, with a hint of surprise on her face, and smiled slightly: "What a coincidence, Makino, I didn't expect to meet you here. It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time, why is there a shallow moon between your eyebrows?" What about scars?"

I smiled and told her what happened before in detail, but seeing her frown slightly, I seemed to be unable to bear it, so I stepped forward and stroked the so-called "shallow moon" between her eyebrows with my hand, faintly Ran sighed: "Why are you so careless? It hurts to think about it. People often say that the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. You don't need to pay attention to these small things. It's because you are too serious that you will suffer this catastrophe. But the words Again, this scar is not skewed, it fits right between your eyebrows, and it looks much more delicate than before, which is a blessing in disguise." I smiled, and my face felt a little hot.

We sat face to face in silence for a long time before she asked with a smile: "Muye, you will graduate in a year, should you return to your place to find a stable job, or should you stay here and work hard? Have you ever thought about it?" I thought for a while, then smiled lightly and said, "I have never thought about such a long-term, as far as the current situation is concerned, I will be satisfied if I can have a stable job. As for staying in this city, but It’s something you can’t even think about.”

A trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and she looked at the falling flowers and the red ones everywhere in front of her, and she couldn't help sighing: "I don't want to go back, staying in this city has always been my dream. Even though the hope is slim, I will try hard. Here, no matter how hard it is, it is better than living in the backcountry, isn't it?" Looking at her eyes full of expectations, I felt At a loss.

The setting sun is gradually setting, and the smoky willow color becomes more and more hazy in the twilight. I got up to say goodbye to her, but she pointed to the light that just turned on not far away and smiled at me: "I knew that the twilight of the campus is also like this." It is so beautiful, I will definitely come here every night to enjoy it quietly, but it is a pity that I have let down all these years in vain.” I suddenly looked back and saw the dots of lights passing through the willows , with the swaying willow branches flickering, and the reflection in the pool, it looks like stars in the sky, which is very beautiful.

In a daze, I suddenly felt a touch of gentleness on my lips, as fragrant and tranquil as jasmine, and my mind suddenly felt blank...

"Makino, it's nice to meet you..." She turned her head and smiled sweetly, full of happiness written on her face, drifting away like a breeze, gradually disappearing into the vast night.And after that thick warmth, I actually felt a sense of loss, whether it was pain or emptiness, but I couldn't express it in words.

After dinner, I went back to the dormitory with Ziyang. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Wang Shaofeng and Guo Luqiang arguing fiercely. Looking at the posture, if Shi Zhengliang didn't stop him desperately in the middle, there might have been a big fight.

When asked why, it was caused by a letter.Wang Shaofeng suspected that Guo Luqiang secretly showed it to Zheng Linna, but Guo Luqiang denied it.Unexpectedly, Zheng Linna was furious after reading it, and quarreled with Wang Shaofeng, but it was impossible to know what was written in the letter.Fortunately, the two brothers usually have a deep relationship, and the quarrels are quarreling. After a few days, they were able to wear a pair of trousers again.

Our school is divided into north and south colleges. According to the arrangement of this semester, our major students will go to the south college for more than a month to practice, mainly to practice the technology of electrical assembly.

On the day I left, it happened to be sunny after the rain, the sun was shining brightly, and the air was as fresh as it had been washed.Ziyang packed his bags early in the morning, and came to the school gate with me talking and laughing.There were already many classmates waiting there outside the door, looking around, it was dark and crowded, very lively.

Ning Chenyang was standing alone by the side of the road with his luggage on his back. He was wearing a light blue sportswear and looked very heroic in the sun.He happened to see us the moment he turned his head, and waved vigorously towards us. I smiled knowingly, pulled Ziyang and ran towards him vigorously.

Seeing that when I was approaching, I didn't want Ziyang to be dragged away by others. I turned around and saw that the girl by the flower pond who was dressed like pink makeup and jade was not Zheng Linna, but who else.I suddenly remembered that night a year ago, and I felt a little embarrassed, so I quietly hid at Ning Chenyang's place, and chatted with him without any connection.

Because they were not far away, they could naturally hear some of what they were talking about, most of which were related to the outstanding graduates of the recommended schools in the coming year.So Ning Chenyang sighed and said to me: "I've heard it before that if you can be selected as an outstanding graduate of the school, you will become a red star that all units in this city are desperately fighting for when you graduate. People, there are some people who stay in school to teach. Taking a step back, even if the grades are not ideal, they will cover up all the ugliness. At least it is no problem to stay in this city to work. So every year at this time, there will always be Some people squeezed their heads up, but they don't know how deep the water is inside, and in the end, many students with good character and academics may not be able to get what they want." Zheng Linna happened to hear the last sentence, and she Then he came over and smiled at Ning Chenyang with a slight sarcasm: "Don't worry, just like you, even if your head is sharpened and squeezed into it, you still don't have your share." But Ning Chenyang snorted coldly, also He didn't answer, and hid aside with a smile.

Coincidentally, Wang Shaofeng got out of the crowd with two bags, ran up cheerfully, and apologized deeply and deeply to Zheng Linna in front of everyone.Every word came from the bottom of my heart, looking at that posture, I almost knelt down and begged for mercy.

Unexpectedly, after many days, Zheng Linna still didn't agree with him. Seeing him like this, she became more and more annoyed, and reprimanded him viciously in front of everyone, then turned around and said goodbye to Ziyang , and hid in the front in a blink of an eye.The atmosphere became tense, but Ziyang didn't think much about it, he just looked around for me, but he didn't notice two cold lights from Wang Shaofeng's eyes.

It takes only 10 minutes to drive from here to the South Campus, and the teacher who led the team helped us contact the residence early in the morning.When Zhu Beibei heard that the girls were going to play on the floor in the staff activity room of the South Campus, she hurriedly yelled: "What is this? They are all from the same school, why are you treating us like prisoners? But Shi Zhengliang said with a smile on the sidelines: "you girls, just be content. It's still like a place where people live. If you look at us again, we are all sent to the basement where there is no sunlight all day long. If you don't like it, How about we change it?" When Zhu Beibei heard this, she immediately hid behind Han Yuemei with a look of disgust.

After the girls were settled, Wang Shaofeng came back and smiled at the [-] or so boys: "Brothers, although it is the basement, the original rooms are still not enough. Because I went late , the good places were snatched by several of their classes, and they were told coldly by the teacher of the South Campus that two students had to live in the warehouse where the sundries were piled up. Our teachers and They talked for a long time to no avail. I went there to have a look. Although the conditions are relatively poor, it is relatively quiet and generally no one disturbs you. So if anyone wants to go, please raise your hand; if not, you can only The lottery has been decided." After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and it seemed that no one wanted to take the initiative to take the initiative.

Wang Shaofeng had expected such a result a long time ago, so he pointed at Guo Luqiang subconsciously, but before he could speak, the guy waved his hands again and again and said: "Boss Wang, let me declare, whoever wants to go, I am I wouldn’t live there if I was killed. You know that I’m naturally timid and physically weak. If there are rats or something like that, I’ll be scared and sick, and even your boss will be implicated. You can do it All right, let me go." The others booed after hearing what he said.

Ziyang thought about it for a long time, then raised his hand and laughed: "Or I can go. For more than a year, our whole family rented in the basement, and we are relatively more familiar with that kind of environment, so there should be no problem. "Everyone heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what he said, even Wang Shaofeng felt relieved, and readily responded: "Since this is the case, I have no choice but to wrong you."

When I saw that Ziyang was going, I raised my hand to follow.Although Ziyang strongly disagreed, it was difficult to say anything in front of so many people, so the cold and damp underground warehouse with signs of water seepage around the walls became the temporary residence for the two of us.

It took us half a day to clean it up. Under the dim light at night, the dilapidated hut looked like a home.In the following days, apart from watching the master teach some techniques such as manual welding in the laboratory every day, I just stayed there reading books and listening to music, and my life was very comfortable. The sheets had to be exposed to the sun twice every three days, or else they smelled musty, making it impossible to sleep at all.

One day half a month later, I just carried the quilt out, and happened to be walking by three or five students from the South Campus.They saw me making the quilt there, and one of the fat guys looked at me with a giggle and said, "I didn't expect the boys in the north courtyard to be so delicate by nature, and they dry the quilt twice a day, maybe they are lonely at night and want girls. Did it get dirty by accident?" The others laughed after hearing this.

Unexpectedly, a tall man next to him sneered at him and said, "You are such a shabby family. If you want me to say, the students in the North College are still awesome. You really can't accept that. Those shocking deeds before I won’t mention it, just said that a few days ago, there was a woman in the graduating class over there. In order to stay in the school to teach in the future, she dragged Vice Principal Hu to bed without a sound. I heard that she even had a child. , Do you think it's serious? If it weren't for the fact that Hu Yu was too arrogant in his usual work, he dared to accept any kind of gift, and he dared to criticize any kind of student. Above, can this matter be brought out lightly? So talking about you, it’s really rare and strange.” After saying this, the others looked at each other, as if they were really frightened.

Don't talk about them, I seem to be scared...

Suddenly someone asked in a low voice: "If this is the case, then Vice President Hu's life will be over, and that girl will also be implicated with him?"

The man sneered and said: "Then Hu Yu must be finished. As for the girl, her reputation has been ruined, what else can she do? She will be punished and return to her hometown to wait for a job; maybe she can't stand such a blow, so she might just commit suicide ..."
