Chapter 1: A City

With the smell of loess from the stone forest, Gu Bei entered the ancient city of Qingchuan in August of the old calendar. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In 2001, when China's economy had just accelerated, Qingchuan City, as the vanguard, took the lead in the tide of the times, and the architectural pattern and scale have washed away the imprint of old China, and there are large and small factories and chimneys of different heights distributed between the third and fourth ring roads in the east, which have made great contributions to the revitalization of the Chinese nation's industry and the improvement of the air pollution index, and now, they are in a state of paralysis, like a giant corpse waiting to be dismembered and buried.

Countless high-rise buildings have become the new darlings of the city, such as Jin Mao Tower, International Trade Center, SOHO Modern City, Pearl River Dijing, No. 18 The Bund and other modern buildings have risen here, standing tall above Qingchuan City, showing the trend of captivating the country and the city in the sunshine, and the riverside viewing avenue is full of young students in suits with straight hair and shiny oil, modern girls with fur on the top and calves exposed, and the ten-mile foreign field is worthy of its name, and the golden fan is drunk on the Bund for a hundred years.

This is Harukawa.

A glitzy and dazzling world of flowers.

A century-old city full of history.

And today, Gu Bei came here, came to this city where he had lived since his college days in his previous life, the disillusionment of love, the gains and losses of his career, he tasted the bitterness and bitterness of life here.

Gu's father Gu Chengming also came.

In the eyes of Gu's father and Gu's mother, Gu Bei has never been out of the province when he is so old, and this time he traveled through most of China to Qingchuan City to study at university, Gu's father and Gu's mother were not very relieved, so Gu's father decided to accompany Gu Bei on the road together.

Gu's father was reluctant to buy a plane ticket, the father and son took a green train, departed at 10 o'clock in the evening, arrived at 9 o'clock in the morning the next day, 11 hours, hard seat, at one or two o'clock in the morning, people were very sleepy, so uncomfortable that they couldn't sleep, the air conditioning in the car was particularly sufficient, and their legs hurt from the cold. At 9 o'clock the next day, when everyone was about to collapse, it finally came.

As soon as he arrived in Qingchuan, Gu's father couldn't find the north.

Gu Bei was familiar with the road, left the train station, stopped a taxi, and went straight to Atlantis University.

Walking into the school, the avenue leading to the registration office was full of people, and the freshmen took off the ugly school uniforms of their high school days, after all, it was Qingchuan, and there were many rich people, most of whom wore fashionable and beautiful clothes, and their eyes were looking forward to novelty and yearning.

Gu's father carried a red and white woven bag on his shoulder, Gu Bei carried a pirated Adidas backpack, and carried a suitcase that looked a little bulky.

The location of the report is at the intersection of No. 2 Bachelor's Street, and on both sides of the intersection are the reception offices of various faculties, the Department of Law, the Department of Economics and Management, and the Department of Chinese...... At first glance, there are more pigsties than in the countryside. Under every red flag, there are old students helping to carry luggage and register, a busy scene.

Gu Bei found the registration office of the Chinese Department, sitting in the Chinese Department counselor, a twenty-seven or eight-year-old young man, named Wang Lei, wearing a white shirt, his head was partial, and it was clearly divided, and the slightly longer half of the bangs made him look a little like the rural version of Nicholas Tse, and I don't know if he had ever worn the rural version of the green hat.

Wang Lei seems to have just served as a counselor, and he is very talkative, and after registering, he specially told Gu Bei to go to the office building to pay the fee, and held a class meeting in Wenkui Building at half past two in the afternoon.

When leaving, Gu's father Gu Chengming smiled and took out two packs of Chinese stuff and gave them to Wang Lei, saying Teacher, my baby is a bit jumping, what did you do wrong, you can criticize education.

Wang Lei originally wanted to refuse, he didn't smoke, and he saw that Gu Chengming was dressed plainly, he was afraid that the family's economic conditions were not good and he was a laborer, but seeing Gu Chengming's black face full of pleats with sincerity, he suddenly realized that this was a simple old father's heart, so he put away the two packs of China, nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, uncle, I will help Gu Bei if he has any difficulties in school." ”

Gu Chengming said a word of thanks, and then went to the office building with Gu Bei to pay the bill.

Walking not far from the office building, the two of them encountered a very high stone staircase, they were carrying large bags and small bags of luggage that were not easy to carry up, Gu Chengming helped Gu Bei carry the backpack, and took Gu Bei's trolley suitcase, took the card in the carry-on bag to Gu Bei, and pointed to the office building to him, "Na, take it and pay the tuition, the receipt must be read, check it, go, these things are not easy to carry up, I am waiting for you here." ”

Looking at Gu Chengming, who was standing under the scorching sun, Gu Bei pointed to the shade of the tree: "Dad, the sun is big here, you go over there and wait." ”

"Out of the way, you go. Gu Chengming waved his hand, then took out two five-cent-a-piece lovesick birds from his pocket, squatted next to his luggage and pumped them.

Gu Bei didn't say anything more, and took the card up the steps.

Going around all the way, when Gu Bei crossed a tree-lined path, he met a girl who asked him for directions: "Classmate, do you know where the new students pay the fees?"

"It's in the building in front. Gu Bei glanced at the girl, she looked very beautiful, with long hair and a shawl, wearing a light blue tunic skirt, and there was a smell of dust, so Gu Bei stretched out his hand and pointed to the office building hidden in the camphor forest: "I'll also go there to pay the bill, why don't you go together?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, then nodded yes.

There was little communication between the two people along the way, the kind of affair that fell in love at first sight when they met a beautiful woman on the road, obviously it didn't happen to Gu Bei, the girl just asked for directions, and Gu Bei didn't have the mind to talk to her, although this girl was very beautiful, but from the moment he came to the city of Qingchuan, his mind was full of Xia Nuo.

Nishizawa Academy of Fine Arts should be open, so Xia Nuo must be at Nishizawa Academy of Fine Arts.

However, now he doesn't have time to look for Xia Nuo, although they are both Nishizawa University, he is in the Longling Campus of the Nishizawa Headquarters, and Xia Nuo is a student of the Nishizawa Academy of Fine Arts, which is on the Meihuaping Campus, and the two places are separated by half of Harukawa City. In the afternoon, he had to have a class meeting, followed by military training, and he couldn't make it to the end.

Thinking about it, Gu Bei came to the office building.

There were many thieves at the office building payment office, all of them were new students who paid tuition, and there was a long queue in the hall, and Gu Bei and the girl stood at the back of the line and waited.

When Gu Bei took out the admission letter, the girl next to him asked curiously: "Are you from the Chinese department?"

Gu Bei nodded: "Chinese Department Class 1, Gu Bei." ”

"What a coincidence, I am in Class 3 of the Chinese Department. The girl said.

Gu Bei smiled: "Listening to your accent, it seems that you are a native of Qingchuan City?"

"Yes. The girl brushed the broken hair around her ears, pursed her lips and said, "My name is Li Yusheng." ”
