Chapter 1 Returning on a Snowy Night
"No looking back
It's not just the ancient Chenguang
And it's not just those nights
Asterisms and the Moon
Although every early morning still will
Open the window to visit
Every summer still
There will be a delicate fragrance of jasmine
But there's something
It's already lost
In front of a crowded street
In the twilight of the hasty fall
Oh my young heart
Never to meet again"
As twilight falls, the snow falls, and the city's streetlights and neon signs weave in a rainbow of colours. The streets are still bustling with pedestrians, and it's almost the New Year, and all the shops and night markets are lit up. People buying new clothes, New Year's goods and fireworks are in and out of it, their faces are filled with joy, and couples meet to walk in the snow and be intimate
A lonely figure appeared on the corner street, curled up and walking slowly. A pair of white-washed jeans, a worn-out jacket, and a duffel bag on his shoulder. It adds a touch of incongruous gray to this gorgeous city. Dundee doesn't remember how many years he's been away from the city where he was born and raised, and he doesn't know why he's back. Perhaps, in the depths of his soul, there is an indelible figure worthy of his concern
"Heh", Dundee sighed at his frozen numb hands, rubbed his stiff face, and looked aimlessly ahead with his dim eyes, letting the snowflakes fall on his body and in his messy hair. At the age of thirty, Dundee, who has been working hard outside for many years, still has nothing to do, and is alone. Loneliness and uncertainty tormented him for years, making him look like an uncle in his forties. But there is still a figure in his dry soul, and in the depths of his mind, there is still a heartbeat memory
"Anna for so many years, are you okay?" Dundee muttered silently, "Can I still see you?" "In the brightly lit city, in the crowd, can you see her again? Some things, missed, are for a lifetime
"If it weren't for that meeting
I won't find a miss for you
It's become a habit
If you can make the dream come true
I don't know if it's nostalgic
About whether your fragment can meet me
I want to hold you but can't have it
I want to hold hands but can't last long
I know how to experience good intentions
We understand the reality that we are difficult to get along with
I missed you in my life
The alternation of dreams and reality
Let's keep adjusting the distance
I missed you for the rest of my life
I can't see you passing by
It hurts so much that I only have life left."
Anna stood at the door of the Walmart supermarket, holding a bag of New Year's goods in one hand and a little girl carved in pink like a little princess in the other, waiting for her husband to pick up the car. With a happy smile on her face, her eyes looked at the crowd not far away, and she was a little angry that a homeless man on the other side of the road had been staring at her. The man's ordinary face seemed to have a bit of déjà vu, but Anna searched every corner of her memory, and couldn't remember a single piece of information about the man.
An Audi A6 stopped in front of Anna, and a mature and handsome man got out of the car. Gently took the bag in Anna's hand, who was in a daze.
"What's wrong?" The man asked softly.
"Oh, nothing" Anna came back to her senses, "It's just a boring person, let's go, husband." She took the baby and sat in the passenger seat
Maybe it was the favor of God, or maybe the Buddha heard Dundee's inner call. He finally saw Anna again, standing in front of the supermarket across the street. She is still so beautiful, except that she has matured a little, and the years have not left too many marks on her face. She stood there like one of the most beautiful views in the city, all the neon lights eclipsed.
At this moment, Dundee's eyes could no longer be separated from that beautiful figure, and his heart, which was like a dry old coconut, seemed to be injected with fresh blood, beating rapidly. The heart lake that he once thought had been calm for a long time shook violently again.
The excitement of "cough cough" made him cough violently, and his eyes gradually blurred. "Anna"
Anna, my goddess, I finally see you again. However, she could no longer remember herself, and she looked at her with such indifference in her eyes, and her expression was even a little disgusted. It can be seen that she has lived well all these years, with a beautiful daughter and a considerate husband
All of this made Dundee stop walking towards Anna and drain what little courage he had left. At this moment, Dundee realized that he and she were already people of two worlds. The Audi A6 faded away from Dundee's sight, like a distant dream that could only be recalled
Dundee's empty eyes watched the car disappear from sight, and he stood there, as if only his thin figure was left in heaven and earth. He looked, but saw nothing, he heard, but heard nothing. An off-road vehicle sped by, and the icy road caused it to lose control and crash straight into the road. Pedestrians screamed at the screeching of brakes to dodge, but Dundee didn't dodge, he didn't even make a dodge move. After a loud "bang", Dundee's thin body was thrown into the air, and then fell like a bundle of straw and a bed of ruin on the cold and damp street
He didn't feel pain, and even had a sense of relief. The snowflakes falling from the sky gradually froze in his eyes, and the last sigh gently rushed out of his lips and dissipated in mid-air, like a soul that has no more attachment, returning to the heavens
Postscript:
Dundee finally couldn't bear it anymore, pointed at the author's nose and scolded: "I'm the second Olympics! Nima: I'm the main character, okay? Isn't it supposed to be domineering? For the appearance of Mao labor, such a tragic literary style? For the goddess of Mao, I followed the rich and handsome, but labor and management can only be a sad **silk! And get hit by a car and die! If you don't say one, two, three today, I'm not done with you! ”
"Calm down! Do you know calmly? The crocodile was beaten and crossed Erlang's legs, biting half of the cigarette butt, and said with a smile, "It's just a dream, the day of Niu B will come, the goddess will be yours, and the senior sister, the senior sister, Lori, the royal sister, the teacher, the nurse, the policewoman what?" Still not satisfied? So? Aunt? Dislike? Man? Small? Brute? Mule? Fly? Mouse? ”
"Roll !!" Dundee finally broke out, the words were round, and the sound was like thunder
Hehe, just kidding, this chapter is mainly to pay tribute to the author's hazy relationship a long, long time ago, pure innocent moaning. As one passage says, "The two luckiest things in my life are that time has finally exhausted my love for you, and the other is that I met you one day a long, long time ago." ”
There are three middle schools in the county seat of C City and R County, Guanghui High School, No. 3 Middle School and Dongcheng High School. There are such rumors circulating in the market: "The talented girl of the Glorious School, the beauty of the Third Middle School, and the Ji girl of the Dadong School." Although it is a joke that does not enter the stream, it can also see the difference between the three middle schools. As the only key middle school in the entire county, Guanghui High School is naturally talented. The third middle school, which is second only to Guanghui High School, has a slightly worse overall score than Guanghui, but the school spirit is rigorous and the teaching is diverse. Committed to cultivating well-rounded students. And Dongcheng High School is completely a negative portrayal of the first two schools, and the difference in school spirit is well-known in the county, although the school has been working hard, but with little success. Little hooligans and little sisters are full of them, so don't mention it.
In the classroom of the second class of the second year of high school on the 4th floor of the teaching building of the third middle school, the teacher Yu Zhengyingyu, the "cold-faced rakshasa", is taking an English class. All the students who have ears on the rivers and lakes have heard of the name of this 30-year-old female teacher, who is cold-spoken, meticulous in teaching, and has no fun at all. is very strict with the students, so the light was given such a nickname as "Cold Face Rakshasa", of course, behind the scenes. The classroom was eerily quiet, and all the students were listening attentively, at least on the surface.
"Brush brush brush" Teacher Yu quickly wrote a phrase on the blackboard. "Which student will translate the meaning of this passage?"
Teacher Yu's gaze stayed on a girl who raised her hand first, "Anna, you answer." ”
Anna stood up, catching the eyes of almost all the boys. She is the pride of the second class of the second year of high school, the class flower recognized by her classmates, and she is also at the top of the school flower list. With a height of 1.68 meters, a slender figure, "long black and straight" hair, fair skin, and a pair of bright water-cut eyes under the curved willow eyebrows, like the brightest stars in the night sky. The whole person looks pure and lovely, exuding the sunshine and warmth unique to young and beautiful girls. And she is not only beautiful, but also has outstanding grades, serving as a member of the study committee and a representative of the English class. Deeply loved by teachers.
Anna answered the question generously with a confident smile, and Teacher Yu nodded with satisfaction, showing a rare smile on her cold face. I was about to ask her to sit down, but I noticed a discordant figure in the seat diagonally behind Anna: the boy actually fell asleep on the desk!
Outrageous! Someone actually slept in my Yu Zhengying's class?! It's just a bold and heinous crime!
"Dundee" Teacher Yu shouted as he suppressed his anger and controlled his volume, but the sleepy insect named Dundee didn't wake up immediately. The classmates all cast sympathetic or gloating glances at the guy lying on the table. The boy at the table next to Dundee still had a conscience, and stretched out his foot and kicked Dundee hard in the calf.
"Ahh Dundee finally came back to reality from his dream, sleepy-eyed and unaware that he was in class. Anna, who had not yet sat down, turned to look at him, and Dundee's eyes stayed on Anna and could not take it off. The figures of Anna in the dream and Anna in reality just now seemed to overlap together, making Dundee unable to distinguish between the dream and reality for a while, so the baby came out very thoughtlessly:
"Anna your husband audi a6"
"What are you, I'm old" Anna was stunned for a moment, two red clouds flew on her fair face, and she chirped: "What a mess, you are nervous." "Don't look away when you're angry.
"Hahaha" The classroom suddenly burst into laughter, and there was no joke in the dull and tense study life for a long time.
Dundee reacted at this time, and looked blankly at the stern-looking teacher on the podium: "Teacher Yu Yu with a cold face"
Dare to love this thing is not very sober.
"Hahaha" everyone's laughter was even louder, and the laughter was mixed with "I'm Keao!" Dundee is so strong" "Dundee, I serve you" "Idol! strong onlookers" and other discordant sounds, many students laughed straight down.
"That's it! Don't laugh! Teacher Yu knocked on the desk, and everyone's laughter gradually disappeared.
Poor Dundee realized his mistake by bowing his head and blushing under the murderous gaze of the teacher.
"Alright, Anna, sit down." Teacher Yu said: "Everyone be quiet, let's continue the class" Deng Dee, who was waiting for Yu Zhengying to sentence him, was overjoyed, and couldn't believe that the cold-faced Rakshasa let himself go so easily. Unexpectedly, she paused and said, "Dundee." Come to my office after class. ”
"I'm on probation," Dundee thought, immensely sad.
Dundee didn't know how he spent the rest of the morning at the end of the lesson, and when the school bell rang, the cold-faced Rakshasa walked out of the classroom with a gorgeous turn. Dundee scrambled in his seat to pack up his books, trying to shorten the time of the upcoming lecture a little bit. If it weren't for the smell of food in the cafeteria, the students would be in a hurry to join the army of cooking. Dundee had no doubt that he would be ridiculed by strong onlookers. The look at herself before Anna left the classroom saddened Dundee, indifferent, with a little disdain
"I said Dundee, I can't see that your kid usually doesn't talk much, it's so powerful." A beating voice sounded in Dundee's ears, it was the voice of Robin, Dundee's only classmate and friend who could still talk: "Blatantly flirting with our class girl in class, and daring to call the teacher's nickname, which one is a capital crime." What is the ink, and the speed goes to the teacher's office to lead the death. Don't worry, buddy will definitely collect your body when you talk about righteousness. ”
"Miss Luo, I'm sad enough, don't gloat over your baby." Dundee said helplessly, Robin is tall and thin, white, and a little handsome, so he is nicknamed "Miss Luo".
"Didn't you wake up at the time and had a strange dream, so"
"What dream?" Robin tilted his head and asked curiously, "Did you dream of Anna?" Haha, it must be, you kid is so evil. Let's talk about the plot of the dream. "This guy has a lewd face.
"Alright, you." Dundee decided to leave the classroom and get away from the curious baby: "I'm going to the office, remember to help me with the meal." ”
"Well, when you come back, I'll hear you say that you have that spring dream, I'll help you cook the meal, although I don't know if you still have the life to come back and enjoy it."
"you off"
A moment later, in the office of the second-year English teaching team, a teenager stood at Teacher Yu's desk.
His name is Dundee, he is 18 years old, barely enough to be 1.70 meters tall, he is not ugly, but he is not handsome at all. belongs to the kind of ordinary looks.,Throw it into the pile and never want to take it out again.。 Coupled with the factor of inferiority complex in his personality and an ordinary outfit to the extreme, his whole temperament is a bit of a "winter quail". His grades are as ordinary as his appearance, and there is nothing commendable about his excellence, he is taciturn and cowardly, such a student is destined not to be favored by teachers and not noticed by his classmates. Except for a few guys in the class who like to bully classmates who occasionally think of him, most of his classmates only know him by the name "Dundee".
At the moment, he stood there, his head bowed. Prepare to "listen" to the teacher's teachings with the same devotion as a Christian and the silence of a coffin.
Yu Zhengying sat behind his desk, just finishing the last few sweet and sour pork ribs on his plate. Today's faculty meal in the cafeteria tasted pretty good, which made her feel a little better.
"Dundee, Dundee, what do you tell me to say about you. When you were a freshman in high school, you were also admitted to the third middle school with excellent grades, why didn't you seek to improve later? ”
"Yes." Dundee is very humble about receiving education. Yes, my previous grades were good. But when he was a freshman in high school, the death of his most beloved grandmother/grandmother and the divorce of his parents hit this teenager too hard. His father was just an ordinary farmer who came to the city to work hard, but later married his beautiful mother from the city. The differences in family background and culture between the two have planted an element of disharmony in this marriage, and his father's career has been unsatisfactory. Despite this, at least there is a complete family with milk/milk that loves itself. But when he was a freshman in high school, his beloved grandmother died of illness and left him forever. Without the mediation of milk/milk, the parents finally ended this marriage that may not have been unioned, and Dundee followed his father. My mother remarried someone else to live the life she wanted, and my father went south to work and only came back once a year. Since then, Dundee, who lives alone, has become more silent, more inferior, and has no intention of studying.
"Your grades have slipped so badly that now you're sleeping in class!" Teacher Yu continued: "This semester is coming to an end, and the next semester will enter the intense third year of high school. How can you be worthy of your father? "She had heard a little about Dundee's family situation.
"Yes, yes." Dundee continued to be very humble about his education, college was out of reach for him, it wasn't that he didn't want to go to college, he just didn't want his father to work so hard. After getting his high school diploma, he was ready to go south to join his father and join the army of part-time workers. There's no point in studying hard anymore.
"You know yes, yes," Teacher Yu said with hatred of iron and steel: "I have never seen such a student like you!" Looks like I'm going to educate you well today! She took two sips of buckwheat tea on her desk, moistening her throat for the long speech that followed.
In the next hour, Mr. Yu gave a profound education on how to "change the evil and return to the right and be a new person" for Dundee, which was impassioned and endless. Until Dundee's feet were numb, his stomach was growling with hunger, and his ears were even hallucinating, as if hundreds of flies were buzzing and flying in his ears. I really couldn't stand it and had to make a number of guarantees to sign n unequal treaties, so I was released from the office by the "cold-faced rakshasa".
In the afternoon class, Dundee was still the same, or looking at Anna's back in a daze, or the fugue was too empty, or simply lying on the desk to sleep. Perhaps, as the teacher said, he was hopeless.
