On the morning of the day Yin Yi left home, the moon was bright and the stars were thin, and the street was quiet, he lowered his head and walked unhurriedly in the direction of the station.

The station hasn't opened yet, and there are already several people waiting outside the 24-hour ATM, looking around the corner of the street from time to time.

While waiting for the car, Yin Yi looked up at the deep night sky, and then looked at Yelang Ancient Town, which was shrouded in a curtain, and felt a trace of hesitation and sentimentality in his heart.

This was the first time he had gone to a city far away from home and completely unfamiliar. When he was a teenager, he dreamed of the day when he would cross mountains and seas to see the outside world.

As for which city to go to first, Yin Yi has never had a definite answer, because his knowledge of most cities is limited to the description of words in books or frame after frame in film and television dramas. It wasn't until he met a girl later that he began to have a very clear answer.

Before Yin Yi got into the car, he also glanced back at the corner of the street, and under the dim light, the corner was empty. Yin Yi's face couldn't help but raise a self-deprecating smile, what am I doing, do I think I'm making a movie?

After the shuttle bus drove out of town, it gradually dawned. By the time Yin Yi arrived at his destination, Wuchang Railway Station, it was already the evening of the second day after he left home, during which he made three big turns, four small turns, and it took almost 30 hours.

Fortunately, he met a conscientious and responsible class assistant, the senior surnamed Li, who helped him complete the registration procedures, and also took him to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities, and then took him to the dormitory to check in, and was busy until late before going back.

Before leaving, Senior Li meaningfully told Yin Yi: Don't think that four years is a long time, and don't believe what high school teachers often say to you, that is, you will be relaxed when you get to college.

Before Yin Yi could make any remarks, Senior Li had already waved his hand away with his back to him. At that time, Yin Yi didn't have a deep understanding of this sentence, so he didn't particularly care about it.

It wasn't until soon after the start of his senior year that he stood on the bus to Huazhong University of Science and Technology to catch the 7 o'clock in the evening for the lecture that he couldn't help but sigh, time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye, there are only a few months left before graduation.

Yin Yi's family is ordinary, he goes to college ordinary, and even his people are very ordinary. He had only been in his senior year for a few days, but he felt as if he was about to get his graduation certificate, and he was confused and anxious all day long.

Should he choose to go back or stay in Wuhan? This is the question that his friends ask him the most these days.

Yin Yi always smiled slightly and did not answer. For the people around you, going back seems to mean that you have no place in this city, and only by staying, you are the ruthless person in everyone's mouth.

This seems to be a multiple-choice question, but it is actually a multiple-choice question. Yin Yi also wanted to think about it, but Qiu Zhao rolled in like a towering wave, instantly knocking him into the wave of job searching.

Yin Yi looked up at the window, and what he quickly retreated was one high-rise building after another, as well as the neon signs that seemed to never go out.

He was surrounded by people, most of whom were office workers who had just gotten off work. Yin Yi pretended to casually glance at the mobile phone screen of the person next to him, and caught a glimpse of the person squeezing the bus, while his hands were flying up and down, busy recommending the company's products to customers, and there was nothing else in his heart except envy.

Because for him and even other classmates, it is really God's favor to be able to find a good job. It's not just a casual talk, it's what reality told him after running n job fairs.

It's not the first time that Yin Yi has rushed to other colleges and universities like tonight. With him, there were three other classmates and good friends.

"Do you think we still need to go tonight?" Chen Chen, who had not spoken since getting on the bus, handed his mobile phone to Xu Zhe's eyes, "I just checked Yinhua's preaching route this year, and all the way to double first-class universities, not a single 211." ”

Xu Zhe took the mobile phone and saw that Yinhua's first stop was Harbin Institute of Technology, the second stop was Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and the third stop was the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. These few people, even going to the headquarters of their own school to listen to the lecture, can obviously feel that they are not full of energy, let alone going to Huake University, which is sought after by major well-known enterprises.

"It's all here, you can't turn around and go back now!" Ling Zixuan's face had long since lost the look of the days when he was looking for a job, "Anyway, none of us have been to Huake, so let's just go to have fun and feel what it's like to go to school in a double-first-class university." ”

"Seriously, I'm numb to the information sessions and job fairs and stuff now. Xu Zhe returned the mobile phone to Chen Chen, and the others were not surprised by his words, "I have thought about it, if I can't find a job in the past two days, I will wait for the spring recruitment, if the spring recruitment is still not found, I will go back to my hometown to open a small supermarket, and then become my own boss." I also hire, but I would never ask them pointless questions. ”

"Then aren't you going to buy a house in the city, are you going to die alone like this?" Ling Zixuan's serial questioning sounded a bit harsh, but this was the ultimate torture that thousands of young people wandering in the corners of the city could not avoid.

If it had been before, Xu Zhe would definitely refute Ling Zixuan was powerless, but since he was rejected by many companies, he felt that his ability to adapt to changes had obviously decreased a lot, and sometimes he began to wonder if he was really low, and wondered if the college in the past few years was in vain.

Yin Yi gently patted Xu Zhe's right shoulder with his left hand, "Two days ago, I saw such a passage on the Internet, saying that China's high housing prices have destroyed the love of young people and destroyed the imagination of young people. We could have recited poetry, traveled together, and had a book club. Now, young people become middle-aged people as soon as they graduate from college, and they are careful about planning for firewood, rice, oil and salt. It is said that our life has been material and sophisticated from the beginning, and we cannot experience a romantic life, a way of life oriented to the heart. ”

"I think most people's lives are like a program that has been written by God, as soon as God presses the execution button, the first step is to start kindergarten, then to elementary school, middle school, and college, then to work, buy a house, get married, have children, and finally the child inherits the father, and then the cycle continues. ”

Xu Zhe smiled, "Who called my dad not Wang Jianlin or Liu Qiangdong, if my parents were rich, I would be able to jump out of this cycle at once." When I go out to make friends, I can also say very frankly that I never care whether his family has money or not, anyway, none of my family has money. If I have a young and beautiful girlfriend, and someone asks me if your girlfriend is beautiful, I can also say that I am face blind and don't know if she is beautiful. ”

Chen Chen checked the map of Gaode, and there were still two stops left before Huake, "Compared to earning 100 million at first, I hope I am not interested in money." ”

"I think when Liu Qiangdong started his business, he also wanted money and no money like us, and he had no connections to make connections, but he just relied on the spirit of not giving up and not admitting defeat, and he became bigger and stronger step by step, so he laid half of the e-commerce industry, if you start working hard from now on, when you become famous many years later, your girlfriend may just graduate from college!"

"Brother Yi, don't make fun of me, I don't have that much ambition, if I can buy a house of more than 100 square meters in Wuhan, plus a girlfriend, I will be satisfied. "What Xu Zhe pursues is also what others are pursuing, maybe a house of more than 100 square meters is really too small for some people, but it is a dream that many people can't touch.

I don't know when it began, the house and car have become a ruler to measure whether a person is successful or not, and the ultimate goal of many people's struggle. When many companies or training institutions recruit people, they like to say that if you come to our company, we can guarantee that you can buy a car within a few years, and have a house of your own within a few years.

While several people were talking and laughing, the bus had arrived at the terminal.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, an evening breeze quickly caressed Yin Yi's cheeks, and the coolness was mixed with a hint of coldness, and he was caught off guard, it was already late autumn.

Yin Yi looked back, the road he came from was full of prosperity, and the starlight in the sky was all submerged in the splendor of neon lights, he didn't see that there was a trace of interplay between the two, and some were just outlined with cold light, a blueprint full of romanticism.
