Ten years ago.

2008。

On a very ordinary afternoon, Geng Hao was taking a nap on the bed in the dormitory.

Suddenly, the phone vibrated and a text message was received. Just glanced at it in a hurry, Geng Hao's face suddenly changed greatly, and he didn't feel sleepy. Instantly bounced off the bed, hastily put on his shoes and rushed out.

"Geng Hao, what's wrong?"

"Bang!"

The roommate's inquiries were drowned out by the loud sound of the door closing.

Under the scorching sun, Geng Hao ran wildly all the way, bumped into passers-by several times, just hurriedly apologized, and continued to run forward. The scene in front of him quickly moved behind him, and the speed drove the air current, and a large amount of hot air rushed to the face. Soon, his eyes were covered with sweat, and with a stroke of his hand, he sped up.

Ten minutes later, he arrived outside the door of the girls' dormitory and collided with his girlfriend Yang Ling.

Yang Ling was wearing a sunhat on his head and a pink suitcase in his hand, saying goodbye to his roommates who were hugging him. She didn't seem to expect Geng Hao to come, so she was stunned for a moment. The next moment, Geng Hao came to Yang Ling with heat, panting, his forehead was covered with dense fine sweat, and the white short sleeves on his body were already soaked with sweat.

"Where are you going?"

Geng Hao didn't have time to ease his breath, and couldn't wait to ask, staring at her full of questions. After asking, he swallowed his saliva, moistened his parched throat, and wiped the sweat from his eyes with his hands. Just now, Yang Ling's roommate sent him a message, saying that Yang Ling was leaving, and asked him to hurry over to see him for the last time.

Yang Lingfei's expression instantly sank, and he looked at him and stopped, full of guilt.

"Why don't you tell me if you're leaving?"

Geng Hao continued to ask, his chest rising and falling due to the unsteady breath.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to speak. After a while, Yang Ling replied, and when he raised his eyes to look at him again, he already had a helpless smile on his face, "My family asked me to go abroad, and it has been arranged, and I will leave tomorrow." ”

Geng Hao's mind was dazed for a while, he couldn't believe this sudden news, and looked at Yang Ling at a loss: "You, you never said anything about going abroad, why did you suddenly ......?"

"It was suddenly arranged at home. Yang Ling met Geng Hao's gaze, bit his lip, and said, "I'm going to tell you about this when I go abroad." ”

"So, you never planned to consider my feelings?" Geng Hao was anxious for a moment, and his tone couldn't help but be a little aggravated and complaining, "When you have this matter, you should tell me......"

"What's the use of telling you, do you want to be admitted abroad?" Yang Ling was suddenly full of grievances and looked at him angrily, "It's just because I think about your feelings that I don't dare to tell you." I know you have the ability to get into a foreign country, but will you?"

Yang Ling's fluttering questioning was like the straw that broke the camel's back, crushing Geng Hao's last bit of luck.

Yes, he won't go, and he can't go.

Even if he is admitted to a prestigious university abroad, even if he can rely on a scholarship to pay for his tuition, he will not go. The cost of living abroad is difficult for him to afford even when he works and studies. His parents died in the mudslide disaster when he was in elementary school, and he has been living at his uncle's house, in order to become independent as soon as possible and reduce the pressure on his uncle's family, he gave up his graduate school entrance examination and decided to work after graduation.

"You don't have anything to say, don't you?" Yang Ling sneered, "I asked you before if you had any thoughts about studying abroad, and you also told me about your situation." I know that you have a lot of helplessness and difficulties, so I don't want to burden your mind. I, too, have a lot of helplessness and have to follow the arrangements of my family. ”

Everything seemed to be a foregone conclusion, and Geng Hao's breath, which had finally calmed down, fluctuated violently again because of these words, his eyes were full of sadness, but he looked at Yang Ling stubbornly. After three years of relationship, he didn't want to break it off just because of external reasons.

"So, what about us?"

"We ......" Yang Ling clenched the lever of the trolley box in his hand, lowered his eyes and didn't look at him, and said in a low voice, "I won't be back until three years later, do you think the long-distance relationship will have a good result?"

Geng Hao felt that his eyes were a little black, and something in his chest was suffocated, making him breathless. The deep helplessness of being oppressed by life turned into a sense of resentment.

"In the end, I came from a mountain village, I have no money, no background, and I am not worthy of you. ”

"Geng Hao, I didn't mean that. Yang Ling hurriedly interrupted him, with a layer of tears in his eyes, "You are very good, no one can compare." It's just that we are not destined to be together. I don't want you to go abroad with me, and I don't want you to wait for me in vain, you will meet someone more suitable for me. ”

Yang Ling's words were sincere, but they fell into Geng Hao's ears, but they directly pierced his heart.

In the four years of college, he was the class president, and she was the secretary of the Youth League. He is the head of the student council, and she is the deputy minister. He is the president, and she is the vice president. After working together for four years, getting along day and night, they are the most compatible. In terms of hobbies, they can also hit it off.

If such a pair is inappropriate and cannot be together, then what kind of people can be together?

"If it's really not suitable, only you are the eldest lady, and I am just a poor boy. ”

Geng Hao can find out and think of only one reason, and only his background, which he can't change now. Even if he is now recruited into the top 500, he still has to start from the grassroots staff.

"Geng Hao, can you stop being so arrogant? Why didn't you find out that you were such a useless person before?" Yang Ling hated iron and steel, straightened up, and glared at him angrily, "Yes, it is because of this that the two of us have to separate, if you have the ability, you will work hard to earn money after graduation! It's not too early, my dad is still waiting at the door." Don't send it away, he doesn't want to see you. Let's just break up. ”

After saying a string of cruel words, Yang Ling pulled up the suitcase and strode towards the school gate, resolutely without a trace of nostalgia.

The word breakup exploded in Geng Hao's head, shattering the beauty he had imagined. A while ago, there was a massive earthquake that shocked the whole country, and he just remembered the death of his parents due to the mudslide, and he was immersed in painful memories. Now, he seemed to feel the tragedy of the sudden collapse of a certain world again.

The difference is that after a blow, he no longer sits on the side of the road and cries like he did when he was a child.

Geng Hao watched her leave, his mind was in chaos, he felt weak, and he was a little dazed about everything.

That day, he sat by the lake at school for a long, long time, watching the sun go down and the moon rising, and watching the moon go down and the sun rise again.

When he got back to his dorm, he didn't say anything. The roommate got the gossip and tried to comfort him once or twice, but he didn't mention it easily.

At that time, just before graduation, the graduation thesis was being intensively urged. Geng Hao's state has always been wrong, and the paper has been written and changed and written, and there are always problems.

The roommate He Fang couldn't look past it, and just found out about the notice of the teaching plan issued by the school, so he scolded Geng Hao angrily.

"You, a character like a campus male god, it's not a problem to find a girlfriend at all. If you really can't get over this hurdle, go to the west to teach. If there is any problem, it will be solved in one trip to the mountains and countryside. ”

He Fang is just the same as before, scolding every day, and inspiring Geng Hao to cheer up every day.

Unexpectedly, Geng Hao really signed up.

Unexpectedly, Geng Hao really applied for a half-year teaching opportunity. For this reason, he also gave up a job offer in the world's top 500.

Afterwards, no matter who is to blame, he wants to slap himself in the mouth.

Everyone thought that Geng Hao was stimulated by him, and he was excited for a while. Only Geng Hao himself knew that he had thought it through.

He worked hard to get out of the mountains, and it was true that he didn't want to be a waste, but now he is confused. Perhaps, when you return to the starting point of your life's efforts, you can once again see your life goals.

And the starting point of his efforts was when he was in junior high school, he met the noble person in life-

A college student who came to his school to teach.
