Night Labyrinth

I feel guilty, I feel sad, I feel angry, I feel sad...

And these complex emotions mixed together, turned into fear.

Yes, I am scared.

The guy I like hates me, and my best friend secretly likes me.

I do not like this.

Why is it so.

I don't know how to face Shuling in a while, I don't know if I can still talk and laugh with her like before.

And just when I was struggling repeatedly, the sky outside the window was completely bright.

I'm not sure if it's four o'clock or five o'clock, but it's early in the summer anyway.

While everyone else was still asleep, I was starting to get a headache from thinking too much all night.

The refreshing sunlight in the morning came in through the gaps in the curtains. I turned my back and covered my head with a sheet, and finally fell asleep in the bright light.

And the sleep didn't last long.

"Get up, get up." Someone was pushing me.

I opened my eyes in a daze, and saw Shuling standing beside the bed smiling at me.

I should be thankful that lack of sleep left me mentally exhausted, and overthinking made my brain so tired that I couldn't think anymore, so I didn't have the energy to feel scared or embarrassed by Shu Ling for the time being.

I rubbed my eyes and got up, sat on the bed for a while before staggering to the ground.

"Let's go to the queue quickly, there are a lot of people today. It's going to be hot when the sun comes out late." Shu Ling patted my little A on the upper bunk as she said.

"Yeah." I replied muffledly, and went to get the toiletries, my head was still aching.

After washing and dressing, several people went straight to the administration building where graduation procedures were handled.

Sure enough, as Shuling said, before reaching the door, I saw a long line extending from the hall to the outside of the building, and it was only after seven o'clock.

Helpless, the four of us had to be at the end of the line.

The flow of people moved forward at a slow speed. About 15 minutes later, little B said that he was hungry, so he asked me and little A to take a seat, and took Shuling to buy breakfast together.

The team moved another block, but we still didn't stand in the hall, and the sun was gradually rising at this time.

I raised my arms to cover my eyes, and heard Little B and Shu Ling coming back with breakfast behind me.

"Here, eat quickly." Shu Ling handed me a bag of buns.

I wasn't really that hungry, but I picked one up and said to her, "Thank you."

"Why are you being polite to me?" Shuling said with a smile.

Only then did I realize that there was a deliberate alienation in my heart just now.

I'm sad about it.

I lowered my head and took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun. I felt a shadow suddenly fall over my head.

Looking up, I saw that Shuling was covering my head with the form to be filled out for graduation procedures, blocking the bright sun for me.

Seeing me looking up at her, Shuling smiled and said, "Eat quickly, it will be cold in a while."

Obviously she has done similar things for me before, but now that this layer of secret is mixed in, I feel guilty.

"You can eat too." I took the bag and opened it in front of Shu Ling.

"Yes." Shu Ling also grabbed a bun.

After another nearly 10 minutes, we finally entered the hall, and Shu Ling removed the formality form covering my head, and I felt a sigh of relief.

After completing all the formalities, everything in the university is also over.

The past four years have ended like this.

The four returned to the dormitory, and there were still some untied things on the bed, so we started to pack the boxes for the last time, and everyone was silent for a while.

Picking up Shuling's rabbit pillow from last night, I hesitated, and finally put it in the suitcase.

Finally, all the remaining luggage was packed.

"My train is early, so I'm leaving first!" Xiao A looked at us and tried to raise his voice to act as if nothing had happened, as if this was just an ordinary parting, and we will see each other in a few days, "We must keep in touch!"

Speaking of her boyfriend, she entered the dormitory, greeted us and went to carry Xiao A's luggage.

"Come on, hug again!" Little A opened his arms to us.

The three of us went forward and hugged each other one by one, and we saw that little A's eyes were red.

She turned her head to sniff her nose, while her boyfriend held her by the shoulder and comforted her with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, we will meet again in the future."

"Well, let's go then!" Little A turned around and waved to us, and repeated, "We must keep in touch!"

Finally, her figure disappeared at the end of the corridor.

After a while, Xiao B was also picked up by her boyfriend, and before leaving, she hugged and bid farewell.

Only Shuling and I were left in the dormitory, along with the mess that had been packed and discarded for four weeks.

I sat on the edge of the bed, and Shuling sat on the lower bunk of Little B opposite me.

"You are rather stupid. You always think too well of others. When you enter society, you must be more careful in everything. Don't trust others too easily." Shuling made the final exhortation, her voice was gentle and calm , "You are timid and like to be brave, find a boyfriend to protect you earlier, but be optimistic, you must find someone who is sincere to you..."

"Don't say it, don't say it!" My tears suddenly flooded out of my eyes, and I covered my face and burst into tears.

What a boyfriend!what are you talking about!Don't be so nice to me!Can you not be so nice to me!I will feel even more sad if you do this, you know!

Shuling stood up and walked to my side, and pulled me into her arms, "Why are you talking and crying."

I continued to cry regardless.

Shu Ling seemed a little helpless, "If you cry again, I will ignore you."

Hearing these words, I stopped crying for a moment.It was also at this moment that I realized how important Shuling was to me.

I get it, no matter what happened last night, I don't want to lose this friend.

"So obedient." Shu Ling smiled gratifiedly, she let go of me, and wiped my tears with her fingers, "By the way, I remembered something."

"What?" I looked up at her tearfully.

"Remember the bet you made with me last night? That boy didn't call me."

"Why?" I blurted out, but then I remembered that we stayed together last night, and that boy really didn't call.

"So," Shuling leaned down, holding both hands on my shoulders, "You owe me a request."

"What request?" I panicked for a moment, and my shoulders became stiff.

Seeing my appearance, Shuling laughed again, "What are you afraid of? Can I still eat you?"

"What's that request?" I asked again.

Shuling thought for a while, and then said, "I haven't made up my mind yet, I'll tell you when I do. So you have to keep in touch with me until then."

I saw that her expression was very serious, and there was a hint of fragility in her seriousness.

In fact, from the moment Shuling said "I will ignore you if you cry again", I made up my mind that I would never give up on this friend no matter what.But I didn't tell her, I just said, "Okay, I promise you."

Wen Yan Shuling seemed relieved.

At this moment, the girl next door came to see me. We bought the same train, so we made an appointment to go together.

She came into our dormitory with big bags and small bags, and asked me, "Is it packed? Let's go early when it's packed. There are too many people today, so it's not easy to take a taxi."

"Hmm." I got up silently, put on my backpack, and then reached for the suitcase standing beside me.

"I'll take you downstairs." Shuling pulled my suitcase first, "You sent me off last time, this time I will take you off. It's fair."

No!It's not fair at all!

I can never give you back what you have done for me.

I yelled in my head, but I just nodded and tried to smile.

So the three of us walked downstairs, across the campus, to the taxi office at the back door.

It should be said that luck is not bad, we didn't wait long to find a taxi.

Shuling helped me put my luggage into the trunk of the car, and I stood by and watched her.

Then she held out her arm to me, as she had done so many times before.

Without hesitation, I went straight to her arms and hugged her tightly.

And Shu Ling seemed to be responding to me, and she also tightened her arms, wrapping me tightly in her arms.

"Let's go." The girl next door looked at our inseparable look and comforted me, "See you later."

Reluctantly, I withdrew from Shuling's arms and said to her, "Go back."

Shu Ling shook her head and opened the car door for me.

I got in, closed the car door, rolled down the window glass, and waved to Shuling, "Go back."

Shuling looked at me with a smile, "You must keep in touch! You promised me."

The driver stepped on the accelerator, and the car hummed.

"I will!" I nodded firmly and tried to smile at Shuling.

Finally, the car started to move. I poked my head out of the window and waved vigorously at Shuling, "Goodbye!" I shouted.

"Goodbye!" Shu Ling also waved to me.

Until I was about to turn the intersection, I saw Shuling's figure still standing there, looking a little lonely in the crowd of people coming and going at the school gate.

I tried my best to maintain a smile, and the next second the car drove onto the road, and Shu Ling's figure was no longer visible.I covered my eyes and burst into tears.

The author has something to say:

The graduation chapters are only a few thousand words, but I wrote them for several days, because I really couldn't bear it.

I think the abuse about He Lin is direct and stabs hard at the heart, while the abuse about Shuling is like boiling a frog in warm water, like pulling it bit by bit with a knife.

Huh~ Speaking of He Lin, I haven't seen her for fifteen thousand words, do you miss her?
