June is destined to be a special season for every university.

In every university, every year in June, there is a play of the same play being staged, called Youth End.

But even if the flowers are similar every year, for the people who are in it, they all have their own unforgettable hearts.

In June of this year, because of the closure of the school due to SARS, the graduates, who were already mixed with mixed feelings, had more memories that could not be forgotten, and more stories of joy and sorrow were staged.

Different from the gradual decline of liberal arts in the future, the current liberal arts department is a major that has attracted much attention in the long-established Guangyin University, especially the Chinese department, which can be said to be in a golden age at that time, and is the most famous, strongest, most popular, and most influential department in the entire school.

In June of this year, when the whole school tried its best to carry out student activities, it was also the activities of the Chinese Department that were the most dazzling.

The first group dance competition of the Department of Chinese was first staged.

The group dance competition organized by the school because of the closure later became a traditional event of the Chinese Department of Everbright University, and the annual event was arranged near graduation, which is an indelible memory of the students' university life later.

Except for the first edition, there were no seniors in the subsequent competitions, and they didn't have that much time to rehearse, and they might not be able to rehearse quietly. However, they are not allowed to participate in the competition, and the senior graduates are often special guests of this traditional event, and when they sit under the stage to reminisce about the past, they are also saying goodbye to their youth.

At noon on June 13, the one-and-a-half-day defense of the graduation thesis of the Department of Chinese was successfully completed.

In the afternoon, the backbone of the student union made the final arrangement of the performance scene, and each class carried out intensive makeup and final rehearsal.

In the evening, in the school's basketball hall, the first group dance competition of the Chinese Department was magnificently held.

It's really gorgeous, because there is corporate sponsorship behind it (the sponsor is the Home Culture and Education Group, which cooperated with the school for military training last year), and the stage background, lighting, and sound are all operated by a professional team. Due to the lockdown period, the entire team moved into Everbright a week in advance, undergoing daily health checks and disinfection of equipment, which is a significant amount of money alone.

But because of this, the basketball hall on the night of the 13th was full.

There are four grades in the Department of Chinese, except for the 99th grade, which is 4 classes, and the other grades are 5 classes, with a total of 19 teams. Since everyone has little experience, most of the classes learn the national standard and then the whole class appears together, but some classes are ingenious and give full play to their creativity in the limited 5-minute performance time, adding a variety of freshest and most fashionable elements.

Li He's second class of 99 Chinese is not creative, after all, they are seniors, and if it weren't for the closure of the school, it would be a problem to get a few people. But they are better at neatly dressed, and when other classes can only try to wear the same color clothing, when it is their turn to appear, the audience is amazed by their uniform costumes.

People rely on clothing, I have to say, this is true. In particular, the quality of those clothes is still excellent, which makes the beauty more beautiful, and makes the unbeautiful also extraordinarily spiritual. The boys are tuxedos with shiny black leather shoes, and the girls are white gauze skirts, although the color is relatively simple, but they are also simple enough to be classic.

There are exceptions, that is, Li He and Ren Yuyue, who lead the dance. They are just the opposite of everyone, Li He is dressed in white, graceful and handsome, while Ren Xuanyue is wearing a black bandeau dress, wearing black gloves, and wearing smoky makeup that may be strong in normal times, but is very mysterious and sexy on stage.

As the music sounded, Li He held Ren Xuanyu's slender waist and froze in the spotlight, winning a burst of amazement and screaming and then parting gracefully, dancing to the light melody. These days, Ren Xuanyue, a teacher, teaches well, and Li He, a student, is also more perceptive, at least in this performance, most people can't see that he has no dance foundation at all.

Watching Li He and Ren Yuyue exchange dance steps in the lights, change their shapes, and stage a gorgeous and elegant performance that makes the audience scream non-stop, Sang Quinoa, who was waiting to appear with the class, turned his head and joked to Chen Jing: "Oh my God, I regret letting him lead the dance, this is simply not the Li He I know." ”

Because of the characteristics of many boys and girls in the Chinese department, their dances cannot all be male and female pairs, such as the one-meter-seven mulberry, and the one-meter-seven-seven Chen Jing had to "donate" their boyfriends and dance men's steps in men's clothes. Although the mulberry in men's clothes and pigtails also has a strange pretty, this night, her light has indeed been overshadowed.

Chen Jing looked at Li He, who had just lifted Ren Xuanyue, and then looked at Qi Siyuan, who was holding the hand of another girl a little nervously, and snorted and said, "Let them be proud first, and go back to the kneeling washboard." ”

Sang Quinoa and Chen Jing's two dance partners were both girls, and they also sneered when they heard their words, and Sang Quinoa's dance partner came up with an idea and said: "No, no, no, the washboard is outdated, smash the beer bottle and make them kneel." ”

In the middle of the joke, Li He and Ren Yuyu's one-minute performance was frozen again in a field of whistles and applause, the music changed, and the whole class entered the stage from both sides in turn, and unfolded in the music.

Their neat costumes, well-arranged formations, and seemingly flawless dance moves not only beat the other senior teams that focused on participating in the competition, but also outperformed their younger students. And because they played in a good order, the 10th out of 19 teams, when they collectively closed the curtain and waited for the judges to score on the spot, they got a high score that is far ahead of the previous team so far, and it is difficult for the later teams to surpass.

When the host broadcast the final score of the 99 Chinese second class, these senior brothers and sisters who really just focused on participation couldn't help but burst into a deafening cheer.

Ren Xuanyue couldn't help but turn around and hug Li He, she hugged him very strongly, and she didn't let go for a while, and said in his ear: "Li He, thank you, I didn't expect my university to have such a gorgeous and perfect curtain call! ”

Li He patted Ren Xuanyue's smooth back, smiled and said, "Definitely, do what you say." ”

Ren Yuyue let go of Li He and said with a smile: "It's a little regrettable, we met too late." But with such a performance, this university is even more worth remembering. Go back to Mulberry and thank her for me. ”

If the group dance competition on June 13th is the prologue to the entire June suite, it is full of elegance and freshness, which makes people talk about it. The football game on June 15 was full of enthusiasm and heroism.

This is another first, and it is the first football event named after "Farewell", which has a long tradition of football.

June 15 is the final, after a fierce group stage, knockout round, and finally to the final of the two teams, one is the old strong team of Everbright, in the league many times, basically maintained in the top three of the physical and electrical system, the other is the long-term hovering on the edge of relegation, in recent years only into the top five and six of the Chinese department.

However, from the beginning of the knockout round, the Department of Chinese has defeated the Department of Mathematics of the old strong team 2-0 in the quarterfinals, the Department of Sociology in the quarterfinals 3-1 in recent years, and the semifinals defeated the international student team with the highest call for winning the championship before the game and the most topical 4-2.

And compared with the eight-in-four and four-in-two penalty defeat of the opponent's physical and electrical system, Chinese solves the opponent within 90 minutes in every game, and the number of goals is more than one game. Although they also conceded two goals against the Law School, they were more like a bunch of wild wolves who advocated offense and did not hesitate to kill 1,000 and injure 800 themselves.

However, the atmosphere of this final is not so tense, just because there are many banners hanging around the venue, which are full of blessing words, not only the two departments participating in the finals, almost all the departments that participated in the competition before have blessing banners left on the sidelines, increasing day by day, and on the day of the finals, the two departments participating in the competition have also prepared a lot, hanging on the railing on the side of the stands, and no one has torn the front one, looking from a distance, it is full of sadness.

But no matter how much warmth there is, competition is inevitably confrontational.

Speed vs. speed confrontation.

The confrontation of power and power.

Maybe this kind of amateur competition of college students is not much about technical and tactical competition, but there is still ......

A contest of wills and wills.

The Department of Physics and Electricity is an old strong team, they are in the top few of the school league all the year round, and the players are replaced one by one, but the spirit of victory has been precipitated one by one. Perhaps it was the absence of a few key players who graduated last year, who narrowly missed out in the group stage and stumbled in the knockout rounds, coming from behind to level in both games before being dragged to extra-time penalty shootouts.

But no matter what, they made it to the final.

On the contrary, the Chinese department, all the way forward, many people saw the hope of winning the championship, before the start of this game, captain Zhang Hongling told the players full of fighting spirit that creating history is at this moment.

In Li He's opinion, Zhang Hongling is a good captain. He first tried everything to avoid the most difficult bones in the Chinese Department as much as possible in the schedule and group before the start of the competition. When the game was over, everyone else went back to rest, but he still had to sit on the sidelines to watch the situation of the next opponent, and then discuss countermeasures with Li Ningfeng, the old captain and the old players. In the game, Zhang Hongling played as a shadow striker, and he likes to swim behind Li He, giving his opponent a fatal blow when he ignores him. From the group stage to now, Zhang Hongling has scored 7 goals and is the top scorer in the Chinese department. It can be said that it was with his efforts that the Chinese Department reached the final round.

Li He admires Zhang Hongling's fighting spirit, and when he fights side by side with such teammates, he can always be enthusiastic. However, he knew that Zhang Hongling was still a little self-inflated in the face of a series of victories. In Zhang Hongling's view, this year's lack of major generals in the physical and electrical department has long since lost his previous domineering, his observation is correct, but if he wants to eat the opponent in one bite, he is too hasty.

At the beginning of the game, the girls of the Chinese cheerleading team overshadowed the cheerleaders of the physical and electrical department with an absolute numerical advantage, and the Chinese football team dressed in white on the court launched one after another onslaught, and the whole atmosphere became very enthusiastic. In the faint shouts of the cheerleaders of the Department of Physics and Electricity, it seems that a handover ceremony of the old and new overlords is underway, and the old overlord is no longer able to do so in front of the new overlord.

But it was in the Chinese Department's overwhelming offensive that the Physics and Electricity Department took advantage of a free kick opportunity obtained on a counterattack, and their captain on the field scored a hanging shot that seemed to be not at a good angle and not strong enough to break through the Chinese goal. This poured cold water on their fiery opponents.

This is the first time that the Department of Physics and Electricity has led the opponent after entering the knockout round, and in the previous games, they were all led by the opponent, and then struggled to tie, and then relied on tenacious defense to drag the tie score to overtime, and finally won by penalty kicks.

And this time, they were ahead.

After the lead, the Department of Physics and Electricity has fully taught the Chinese Department what is the essence of a traditional strong team, they are missing a few soul figures, but their integrity is fully displayed. In the face of the frenzied counterattack of the Chinese Department, they almost completely gave up the attack, and all retreated to their own half, resisting the continuous offensive of the Chinese Department like a reef in the sea. A person was passed, someone immediately made up for it, saw the opponent hit the goal, did not hesitate to use his body to block the eye, and even once the goalkeeper was missing, seeing that the ball was about to go into the net, he stabbed out a defender and shoveled the ball out of front of the goal line with a flying shovel a few meters away.

The girls of the Chinese cheerleading team shouted hoarsely, and the onlookers who did not belong to the participating team also fully felt the charm of the sport in a startled process.

But until the end of the first half, the score remained unchanged.

At the beginning of the second half, the score changed, but it was a sneak attack by the physical and electrical system, which rewrote the score to 2-0.

The score is desperate, it is an opponent who is extremely tenacious in defense, like a reinforced concrete that cannot be pried open, there may be hope for one goal behind, and now two goals behind, this hope is like a bubble, which silences everyone.

Except for the cheerleaders of the physical and electrical departments who have been silent before.

A sentence that Li He often heard when watching the live broadcast of the Chinese team's game flashed in his mind: "There is not much time left for the Chinese team." ”

There is not much time left for the Chinese department.

Captain Zhang Hongling was really anxious, because Li He was tripped in the opponent's penalty area and the referee did not award a penalty, he blocked the referee and did not let go, but the physical education teacher who still knew him and had a good impression of him was really hot, and first gave him a yellow card. Later, I saw that he had a yellow card before, and two yellows turned into one red and sent him off the field.

At that time, Zhang Hongling remembered to quickly explain to the referee, but this could not change the referee's decision.

When he left the game, the captain, who was also about to be a senior, covered his face, and a stream of men's tears flowed down his fingers. Many girls have seen it, although they don't know much about football, but such a scene is straight to tears, and many girls are crying with red eyes.

Li He and Li Ningfeng both sent Zhang Hongling to the sidelines, and Li He patted Zhang Hongling on the shoulder and said, It's okay, we can get it back. Li Ningfeng said, don't cry, boy, even if we lose, we won't fall.

Zhang Hongling raised his head and said, "But this is your last game, and this may also be the closest our Chinese department has to winning the championship."

Li He smiled and looked at Li Ningfeng. Li Ningfeng also smiled, took the captain's armband from Zhang Hongling's hand, and then the whole game was silent, and Li Ningfeng, who was silently fighting beside his teammates, shouted at the stands: "Shout out! We won't lose!"

So the whole scene ignited again.

Obviously, two goals are behind, and there is one less player, but the Chinese department has also broken out with a stronger fighting spirit. On the field, in addition to Li He, Li Ningfeng, Qi Siyuan, and the goalkeeper is also a senior, driven by these veteran players, the whole team continued to pounce forward like crazy. Finally, in the 40th minute of the second half, Li He opened the opponent's goal with a long-range shot from 40 meters away.

1 to 2, the stadium boiled instantly.

But it wasn't enough, they were too good defensively, they had mood swings after conceding the goal, but they didn't mess up, and there were only a few minutes left.

"Chinese Department, come on!"

"Chinese Department, come on!"

In the stands, all the girls and boys were shouting at the top of their voices, and many of them were crying while shouting, and I don't know if it was because the game really entered the final moment, and they looked really desperate, or because some of them were about to leave, and the people they were concerned about were about to leave, or, for no reason, in this June sunset, in the blessings hanging all over the stadium, such a forgetful, crazy cry was itself tear-jerking.

Mulberry, who has always been more indifferent and cold, also cried, and Chen Jing, who was standing beside her, buried her head on her shoulder and didn't dare to look at the court again.

In the last minute, the last attack came.

The Chinese won a corner kick and all the players pressed into the opposing box, including the goalkeeper. The players of the Department of Physics and Electricity are tense their nerves, at this last moment, the champion is already beckoning to them, no matter how they have the background of that kind of strong team, they only have their last breath left.

It was Li He who took the free throw, he was more suitable for the top fight, and he was a standard No. 9 center. But Li Ningfeng, who was in charge of free throws, had already had cramps, and he was still on the court at this time, just relying on one breath to hold on.

Li He's strength is only left to take the ball out, and as for who can grab the ball, it is only up to fate. When he used his last strength to kick the ball into the box, he saw that the ball had made an arc, with a strange color in the slanting June sun.

However, at this time, a tall figure rushed out, Qi Siyuan, who had never scored a goal and had never only played as a central defender, was ignored by the opposing defender, and suddenly appeared at the landing point of the ball.

With a "bang", the sound of Qi Siyuan's forehead smashing on the fast-moving ball was unusually clear, and before the opponent's goalkeeper could react, the ball smashed heavily on the lower edge of the crossbar and bounced into the net.

In an instant, the team members of the Department of Physics and Electricity lay down.

On the Chinese side, it is completely boiling.

Qi Siyuan's mind was blank, he shouted frantically, the bruises on his face and neck were exposed, and then he rushed directly to the stands. Mulberry pushed Chen Jing quickly, and Chen Jing, who finally understood, also ran to the sidelines, she was only 10 meters away from the sidelines, but Qi Siyuan, who had been running nearly 60 meters, seemed to swoop in front of her, and with a pair of arms, he hugged her in his arms, and then sweated tightly against her, and kissed her regardless of it.

"Hey Mom," Li He dragged his right leg after the corner kick, put one hand on Li Ningfeng's shoulder, and said weakly, "This is making a movie, right?"

"I can't make a movie like that. Li Ningfeng didn't sit on the ground, this was not the time to take a breathbreak, he patted Li He and said, "Prepare to play penalty, there is no overtime in the final." ”

"The organizing committee that changed the rules indiscriminately is comparable to the Chinese Football Association. Li He complained, and then said frankly: "Actually, if we really want to play overtime, we will be wasted, as long as my leg has another sprint, it will definitely be a strain." ”

The two men supported each other, like wounded soldiers retreating from the battlefield, limping to the vicinity of the center circle.

The battle isn't over yet.

However, in the final penalty shootout, the physical and electrical system, which has always been super stable in penalty kicks, also played abnormally, their physical strength has been exhausted, and their mental strength has been consumed in the last minute compared to physical strength. As a result, none of the three players in front of them scored a goal, the first two rounds of the Chinese Department hit, and the third Li Ningfeng almost did not help much, that is, he pushed a dead corner by the arch of his foot, the speed was not fast, but the goalkeeper was also out of reach.

Won.

Compared with the excitement and boiling of the volcanic eruption when Qi Siyuan scored the equalizing goal before, at this time, both the players on the field and the audience off the field were much calmer. Instead, more spectators rushed into the arena, hugging, high-fivering, singing and dancing. As the captain, Zhang Hongling, although he was sent off, did not forget to come back and shake hands with the referee at this time, and did not forget to hug the opponent's captain.

Competitions are temporary, friends are forever.

"It's a little worse if there is no wine," Li He and Li Ningfeng walked to the sideline with each other, and when the other team members were still desperately shouting that we were champions, Li He asked very regretfully: "You said that I will call someone to bring a cart of wine now, can I come in?"

"Don't worry. Qi Siyuan had already recovered from the state of being excited to the cramps of his facial muscles, and hugged Li He and Li Ningfeng from left to right and said, "The graduation scene is getting better." ”
