Text Chapter 8: AUO and above
"Report! I'm late!" A little girl in military uniform suddenly broke into front of the military training queue, with a thin figure, a long ponytail, peach blossom and apricot eyes, and a green military uniform that looked particularly petite but lively in the crowd.
"I was late for the first training, and I went to the side to do 20 push-ups!" said the stern officer, who began corporal punishment at the first military training.
This is the first time Sakurako has broken into Lin Kaiwen's sight, and Sakurako's lateness made Lin Kaiwen remember her at a glance, and he rushed into the military training team in a strange way. Maybe in the eyes of others, she is not the most beautiful, Sakurako's smile has been deeply imprinted in Lin Kaiwen's heart since this moment, and it has not been erased for many years since then.
After a few days of military training, Kevin Lin has been standing in the back row of Sakura, and he likes to silently watch her do all kinds of small actions in front of her, and talk to the girls next to her. Kevin Lin is an honest and honest student, and he has been well-behaved and responsible since he was a child, but these days he looks at Sakurako's various naughty mischief, but he feels particularly pleasing. Many years later, Kevin Lin realized that he and Sakurako complemented each other in personality.
One afternoon, the scorching sun was like a flame, everyone was still in military training, everyone was blushing and sweating like rain, these military training was a bit unbearable for boys, let alone girls. Sakurako fainted from heat stroke this afternoon, and Kevin Lin, who was standing behind, was the first to rush up to help her, and soon the coach arranged for Kevin Lin to send Sakurako to the school infirmary with another boy. That afternoon, Kevin Lin had been taking care of Sakurako in the ward of the infirmary, and Sakurako was a little frightened when she woke up and saw Kevin Lin with a dark face.
"Did you save me?" Sakurako said with a faint breath, "I remember you, you were in the same class as me, right?"
"I'm in the first class of English education, which class are you?" asked Kevin Lin shyly.
"I'm also in the same class. What's your name?" Sakurako asked.
"My name is Kevin Lin, what about you?" asked Kevin Lin.
"My name is Xia Ying, thank you for saving me and taking care of me for the afternoon. Sakurako's thanks overwhelmed Kevin Lin.
"No thanks, they're all classmates!" said Kevin Lin.
At this moment, the nurse came in, checked it and said, "Xia Ying, you can be discharged from the hospital!"
"Nurse, can you give me a certificate that I am prone to heat stroke and should not participate in military training!"
"How can this be? We won't open it, you should get out of the hospital quickly!" the nurse firmly disagreed.
"Okay, I'll clean up and go out in a while!" Xia Ying tore off a blank page of paper that was placed on the table to write the doctor's order as she left.
"Why are you tearing up the paper?" asked Kevin Lin, "Do you want to fill it in yourself?"
Sakura glanced at Lin Kaiwen and said, "You're quite smart! On such a hot day, who wants to go to military training, looking for death!"
"It's not okay for you to be like this? It's only been a few days of military training, hold on for a while!" Lin Kaiwen has always been obedient and obedient, and he still persuaded Sakurako to continue to participate in military training.
"I don't want it, I'm really going to faint! Don't tell the instructor, okay?" Sakura pulled the corner of Lin Kaiwen's clothes and coquettishly. Looking at the ghostly shadow in front of him, thin and thin, Lin Kaiwen was also moved by compassion, thinking that this little girl might really faint if she continued military training, so she agreed.
Soon, the 15-day military training time came, and on the day of the parade, although she did not participate in the parade, she still appeared, standing next to her and cheering for the queue of English education majors. After the parade was over, Sakura held a bottle of iced tea in her hand, walked up to Lin Kaiwen, handed it to him with a smile, and said:
"Thank you for taking care of me that day, please have a bottle of iced tea. ”
"You're welcome, right? ”
"Take it, I don't drink cold. Sakurako stuffed the iced tea to Kevin Lin, and said with a smile: "You behave well in a while, I'm watching you!"
This is the first girl and the first friend that Kevin Lin met in college, that afternoon, Kevin Lin drank this drink for an afternoon, if it was usual, he drank it all in one go.
On the evening after the military training, the students of the first class gathered in the classroom for a meeting, and there were very few male students in the English major, and there were only five boys in Lin Kaiwen's class, and a few people sat together and chatted. At this time, Sakurako came over to chat with Kevin Lin.
"Remember me, Kevin Lin?" Sakurako asked with a smile.
"Of course I remember, Xia Ying!" replied Kevin Lin.
"We're picking up an English name, what are you going to come up with?" Sakurako smiled, "If you haven't picked it up yet, I'll give you one!"
"Okay, I can't ask for it!" Lin Kaiwen couldn't wait for Sakurako to give him an English name, because he really couldn't remember what to call it, and he didn't even get up in middle school.
"You see your Chinese name is Lin Kaiwen, why don't you just call Kevin in English?" Sakurako's English pronunciation is crisp and nice.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Kevin. Kevin Lin was very happy and asked casually, "Then what is your name?"
"You can guess the idea that I gave you an English name?" Sakurako laughed.
Kevin Lin thought for a few seconds, and probably knew that her English name was also related to cherry blossoms, but he couldn't remember how to say cherry blossoms in English for a while.
"I guess it's related to cherry blossoms, but I don't know how to say it in English. ”
"Think about it again, Aaron Kwok has a song called para para sakura, do you remember?"
Kevin Lin suddenly realized and said loudly, "Sakura, right?"
"You're smart!" Sakurako said and walked away.
It was this girl named Sakura who gave Kevin Lin the happiest and most painful time in his college career. They often sit together in class, participate in many activities together outside of class, go to the English corner together, participate in English singing competitions, English recitation competitions, and arrange an English drama together. In the association, they planned a lot of literary and artistic activities together, arranged the association's extracurricular training schedule, published posters together, participated in off-campus work-study together, recruited some students of the association to go to Gome to do temporary sales, and sent leaflets to Luolai Home Textiles......
All of these activities enrich Kevin Lin and Sakurako's college life, and they are colorful and evocative.
Many of these extracurricular activities were encouraged by Sakura to participate in Kevin Lin, and through these activities, Kevin Lin slowly changed from a shy and introverted shy boy to a cheerful and sunny boy. This also laid a solid foundation for Kevin Lin to find a job quickly after graduation.
In a few years of college, Kevin Lin and Sakurako became best friends, they cooperated tacitly, complemented each other perfectly, and Kevin Lin gradually fell in love with the youthful and energetic Sakurako. When he drank with Sakurako a few times, he wanted to muster up the courage to confess to Sakurako, but every time the words came to his mouth and he swallowed it again, his inferiority complex made him afraid of rejection, and he was afraid that he would not even be able to be a friend after confessing. So he chose to remain silent, just silently being a good friend who guarded him. And Sakurako, who really only regards Kevin Lin as her best friend, encourages him to go every time there is an event, and goes together when he goes out to play. Once the two of them went to climb the mountain behind the school, and on the top of the mountain, Kevin Lin once asked Sakurako: "Will you fall in love when you are in college?"
"Why fall in love, it's enough to have good friends!" Sakurako replied.
"There are several girls in our class who are in love, don't you want to?" Kevin Lin looked at Sakurako, he was a little eager for Sakurako to say the answer he wanted, although he knew that the probability of getting this answer was almost zero, he still had a glimmer of hope.
"Forget it, I've heard that nine out of nine people who fall in love in college will break up, and I don't want to make myself miserable. Sakurako replied with her head down.
"Who did you listen to?" asked Kevin Lin.
"There are many books and novels, and there are many online stories. Shadow said, "Besides, there are so many things to do in college, so why waste time." ”
Didn't hear the longing answer, Kevin Lin is still Sakurako's best friend, and nothing has changed. In this way, Kevin Lin and Sakurako spent a few years in college when they didn't fall in love and were only friends.
On the day of the graduation party, Kevin Lin has been chatting with Sakurako and taking a lot of photos together. In the end, the two compared the certificates and awards obtained in the past few years of college, and the two of them were actually the same, graduation certificates, teacher qualification certificates, certificates of merit for English recitation competitions, and certificates for the May Fourth Art Grand Prix....... Looking at these same awards and certificates, the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Come with me to the Internet café!" Sakurako said.
"Why are you going to an Internet café? There must be a lot of people in the Internet café tonight!" Lin Kaiwen said is not unreasonable, after graduating today, many of his classmates must have gone to the Internet café to play games.
"Then go to my dorm room and use my computer!" Sakurako said.
"What are you going to do?" asked Kevin Lin.
"I want to take pictures of these certificates and awards and send them to QQ Space to commemorate our college life. Sakurako said: "In the past few years, thanks to you and me, otherwise I wouldn't know how to survive!"
"Why do you say that? I think it's because I want to thank you for always treating me as my best friend that allowed me to grow up in college for a few years. Kevin Lin said what was in his heart, but he didn't understand why Sakurako said that.
"You don't know, I've been lonely in the past few years, but I don't want to fall in love, so I've been pulling you to participate in so many activities with me. ”
"Why do you feel lonely?" the more Kevin Lin listened, the more he didn't understand.
"Because in my first year of college, my parents were separated from each other, and I didn't want to go home when I didn't have classes, so I had to participate in some activities to enrich my life. Xia Ying's words made Lin Kaiwen wake up like a dream.
"I see, I was thinking that since your home is in the city, why don't you go home on vacation? I asked you several times, but you didn't say anything. Kevin Lin looked at Sakurako, and he suddenly understood why Sakurako didn't fall in love in college and only became friends with himself.
"Kevin, we'll be good friends for life, okay?" Sakurako said, "Even if we graduate and separate later, we'll still be good friends." Sakura's words made Kevin Lin both happy and a little sad, happy that he was lucky to have a cheerful and lively friend like Sakurako in his life, and sad that Kevin Lin's feelings for Sakurako were far more than good friends. As SHE sings in the song: If you are above you, you are not yet a lover.
"Okay, I promise you! I will often go back to Chenzhou to see you in the future!"
On the night of the prom, Kevin Lin and Sakurako danced their first and last dance, and his dance was so stiff that Sakurako kept laughing.
"It seems that you are not naturally suitable for dancing, otherwise you have studied the dance class of the association for so long, and you are still so blunt. ”
"I think so too, but why do you dance like a Xinjiang dance?" asked Kevin Lin curiously.
"Because we have a classmate from Xinjiang in the dormitory, I studied with her. Sakurako smiled.
"I hope that the next time we meet, my dance steps can keep up with you!" Kevin Lin secretly decided that he must learn ballroom dancing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Later, did you learn ballroom dancing?" Shu Jing asked.
"Of course I learned, but it took a long time. "But, I never danced with her again!"
"I can dance with you, okay?" Shu Jing looked at Kevin Lin with a sad face, and stepped forward to hug him.
"Okay, let's jump now. After speaking, Lin Kaiwen turned on the computer, found the dance music and put it on.
That night, Kevin Lin and Shu Jing danced for a long time, looking at Shu Jing in front of him, Kevin Lin began to be confused again, and the picture of Sakura kept shaking in front of his eyes. He almost called out Sakurako's name, but fortunately, the music suddenly stopped, and Kevin Lin came back to his senses. It seems that since he saw Sakurako that day, Kevin Lin has thought of Sakurako in everything, and the tide of his thoughts has begun to flood again. It's just that Lin Kaiwen didn't dare to tell Shu Jing, who was accompanying him in front of him, so he had to scold himself silently in his heart: bastard.
