Chapter 408: When You're Old

readx;

The Western-style food in the coffee shop is really good, and the potato cakes, red pears, and peach steaks are quite authentic, but it is a bit out of place to run this style of coffee shop on a campus where all freshmen are freshmen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Among the twenty or thirty colleges and universities in the provincial capital, the real high-consumption groups are in the Conservatory of Music and Donghai Normal University, where there are groups of beautiful women, which naturally attract the money into a river, making the dilapidated alley of Xuefu Lane prosperous and abnormal, although there are some rich students in other colleges, but after all, it is not a climate; This kind of coffee shop should be opened in Xuefu Lane and not in the Sinpo Campus of Tunghai University.

After sitting in the coffee shop for a while, I went for a walk around the campus. There is no star and moon in the sky, the victory is dense in the street lights, it does not hinder walking, looking up at the dense clouds in the sky, it seems to be raining, it often rains in the autumn night of the provincial capital, and often the rain will be dispersed in the morning, which has a lot to do with the terrain around the provincial capital.

In addition to Tunghai University, Forestry University and University of Finance and Economics have built new campuses in Xinpu, and the Provincial School of Meteorology and Transportation have moved their campuses to Xinpulai. In addition to the School of Meteorology, the School of Transportation two colleges and universities have old students, the other campuses are freshmen, military training, boys are all shaved inch, the vast majority of boys on the campus are still wearing grass green military training uniforms, only girls are born with a love of beauty, even if there is a moment of free time, will take the trouble to change into civilian clothes.

Zhang Ke has long hair covering his ears and wears a light coffee-colored Givenchy high-end jacket on campus, which is a little conspicuous, causing frequent sideways glances from passers-by, of course, the key reason is that Tang Jing and Chen Feirong, the two charming and bright girls, walked beside him.

Chen Feirong put her hands in her trouser pockets, quiet and leisurely, she was very happy that Tang Jing came to see her, maybe too good, the entanglement of boys made her be demolished by her dormitory classmates, although she is a very strong person, but how much will feel a little lonely, her friends in high school were admitted to Donghai Normal University, people are in the main city, plus everyone is in military training, to the provincial capital for a month, has not seen each other, it is said that their dormitory also has a quite beautiful girl, as a result, it is difficult to get in the phone calls of the dormitories on both sides.

"Su Yiting will also come to Xinpu tomorrow to play...... Chen Feirong kicked the pebble in the middle of the road, looked at Tang Jing holding her arm with one hand, but pulling Zhang Ke's sleeve with the other, shaking and shaking, looking at Zhang Ke's high-end Givenchy jacket that looked strangely elegant and clean, she pulled it aside, smiled slightly, and said to Tang Jing.

"Really?" Tang Jing said happily, "They don't need military training to perform? ”

"They don't need it, just a few college freshmen here in Xinpu want to hold military training drills......"

"That's great, you won't have time to accompany me for a while tomorrow, Zhang Ke is actually very boring, I don't know what to do."

"Am I bored?" Zhang Ke looked at Tang Jing depressedly, "Who is Su Yiting?" ”

"Concubine Rong's tablemate, don't you know each other?" Tang Jing tilted her head and looked at Zhang Ke.

"Oh!" Mentioning Chen Feirong's tablemate, Zhang Ke can of course think of the girl who has some outward teeth, when he provoked Chen Feirong, he trained that girl, and he also suffered from her several times, but he didn't know the name, he branched his teeth outward, and asked, "Is it her?" ”

"Su Yiting's teeth have been straightened, and now they are beautiful," Tang Jing chuckled, reaching out to pull Zhang Ke's front teeth, "Besides, she wasn't so powerful before, look at what the hell you look like." ”

Zhang Ke thought to himself that the girl was going to correct her teeth, although she was not a big beauty, she was quite delicate, and her neat personality was admirable, so she was admitted to Normal University. There are also many things that people miss about the university.

The first phase of the new campus covers an area of 1,500,600 acres, empty, except for a few buildings with a modern style, there is not much to see in the new campus, the three of them walked around the new campus with relish, until it was almost the time when the dormitory stipulated lights out, and then sent Chen Feirong back to the dormitory.

Maybe it's because of the new students, when the lights go out, there are only three or four pairs lingering in front of the dormitory building of the Department of Foreign Languages and the Faculty of Letters, and everyone is quite conservative, and there is no hot scene of kissing and touching each other through the iron fence.

Zhang Ke stood at the intersection and watched Chen Feirong walk in, Tang Jing asked him curiously: "Why don't you walk over a little more, there are so many beautiful girls?" ”

Zhang Ke pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Look at the beauty, it's enough to see you." He saw a girl from the Faculty of Arts who he had abandoned from the beginning to the end of the year holding hands with a boy and standing in front of the door of the dormitory building to talk, although the girl didn't know him now, and he was not in the mood to start over his life anymore to this quite a bit of a posture, and boasted of a little talent, broke up and sent a few love letters to him to express his sorrows, and saw that he didn't react and took those few plots to the school newspaper to publish the girl who was chaotic and abandoned, but I saw it, and I felt a little awkward, thinking that my previous life was really chaotic, I'd rather give up the opportunity to see a beautiful woman up close, but also stand on the side from afar.

Tang Jing was very satisfied with Zhang Ke's answer, sniffed her nose beautifully, waved her hand to Chen Feirong, who walked into the hall of the dormitory building and looked back here, and dragged Zhang Ke's sleeve to the guest house. When the lights went out in the dormitory, there were almost no people in the cement corridor in the new campus, Tang Jing changed her sleeve to hug Zhang Ke's arm, although Zhang Ke was suspected of having an elbow against her chest, she still hugged Zhang Ke's arm tightly, and said softly: "I really want to go to the same university with you, just thinking about you sending me back to the dormitory every day, I am very happy......

"Then let's take the exam here together." Zhang Ke said with a smile.

Tang Jing scratched her head in distress and said: "I promised my mother to be admitted to a foreign school, I think I promised my mother anything, she will remember it clearly, probably when I reach the age of eighty, she will also take it out and nag in my ear, I don't dare to go against her will......"

Zhang Ke touched his head and sat there with his head tilted.

"What do you think?"

"I can't imagine what it looks like, when you are eighty years old, your mother is more than a hundred years old, what is there to nag about the two old ladies?" Zhang Ke shook his head with a sigh.

"Don't think about it," Tang Jing held Zhang Ke's head and shook it, as if she wanted to shake her old image out of Zhang Ke's head, "I don't dare to think about what I will look like when I get old, you must not think about it, you must never think about it." ”

Beauty is afraid of twilight. Zhang Ke hugged Tang Jing's light waist and said with a smile: "Why don't I read Yeats's poem to you?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Tang Jing gently leaned on Zhang Ke's shoulder.

"I'll read the original text to you this time," Zhang Ke looked up at the sky, the clouds were very dense, the street lamps emitted bright light, ninety-seven years mixed in colleges and universities, made himself have some literary atmosphere, and he was still quite sharp in the career of picking up girls, Zhang Ke worked hard in this regard, Yeats's "When You Are Old", he can not only recite the original text, but also recite several translations that are popular in China, including Yuan Kejia's translation, Qiu Xiaolong's translation, Yang Mu's translation, Fu Hao's translation, Feibai's translation, meditated in his heart for a while, and made sure that he did not forget, Whispered in a low and soft tone,

“whenyouareold

Tang Jing looked at Zhang Ke's handsome face under the street lamp in fascination, she didn't feel the raindrops getting into her neck, staring at Zhang Ke's deep eyes, the sweetness in her heart overflowed, and when Zhang Ke thought about it for a while, she came back to her senses, but she still couldn't finish saying: "I still want to listen to Feibai's translation; One more request, can you read this poem to me alone? ”

"No problem at all," Zhang Ke smiled, reciting Feibai's translation of "When You're Old",

"When you are old, gray-haired, sleepy, and napping in front of the stove, please take down this psalm......" The poem was not finished, the rain was heavy, dripping on the cement floor, Zhang Ke took off his jacket, put his arms around Tang Jing's neck, covered the heads of the two, and ran to the guest house, running aloud while running, "...... Chant slowly, dream of your eyes back then, the soft light and the faint halo ......" Tang Jing smiled coquettishly, and the laughter spread in the rain.

provoked the students who occasionally ran over in clothes to protect themselves from the rain and whispered: "A pair of neurotics, and they still have their thoughts on poetry when it rains heavily." ”

Zhang Ke turned around and shouted: "We are the ...... of the nervous path", so frightened that people stepped up and walked away

"You're a psychopath, I don't go with a psychopath...... Tang Jing chuckled, rushed into the rain, and happily rushed in the direction of the guest house.

……

……

The guest house is full today, due to the military training report exercise, a rare three-day holiday, but the new students do not have a holiday, some parents do not go to school to visit their children, and there are also foreign schools to visit their classmates, just like Zhang Ke and Tang Jing, but they came to see Chen Feirong, the relationship is much simpler. Rushed to the eaves, excited, Tang Jing reached out to touch the eaves dripping rain, there were still some standing under the corridor, all of them were a combination of some boys from this school and girls from other schools or girls from this school and boys from other schools, the lights were about to go out, and the students of this school should go back to the dormitory.

Zhang Ke glanced at the past, and gave the people who couldn't walk in the guest house in the heavy rain, their eyes didn't look a little worried, and they were secretly happy, and sighed softly, how many virgins are going to be eliminated tonight.

A silver snake-like lightning drilled out of the clouds, and before the thunder sounded, Tang Jing got into Zhang Ke's arms, and similarly, many girls standing in the corridor got into the boys' arms.

Zhang Ke crooked his mouth and smiled, he didn't need to make any excuses, Tang Jing must have dared to sleep alone in a room tonight, so he walked in with her in his arms.

Zhang Ke's appearance is by no means like a freshman participating in military training, most others will mistake Tang Jing for a student here, seeing Tang Jing snuggled into Zhang Ke's arms and walked into a room, how many people are envious: There are few beauties, or is this kind of level, it is actually cheap for brutes from foreign schools?

Zhang Ke plugged in the latch, took a towel and handed it to Tang Jing to let her dry the rain from her hair. He hung up his half-wet clothes on a hanger and asked Tang Jing to take a shower first.

Tang Jing came over this time and was very well prepared, and when she came out of the shower, she was still wearing her blue cotton floral nightdress at home. However, just after washing my hair, my lips are steamed red with hot water, which is also very tempting.

Zhang Ke simply took a shower and came out, and saw Tang Jing holding a glass and looking at the rain curtain outside the window, with blue lightning streaking across the sky from time to time.

"If the rain can't stop tomorrow, will the military training exercise not be held?" Tang Jing turned her head and asked Zhang Ke, seeing that Zhang Ke was only wearing a pair of underwear, her pretty face was slightly red, and she hurriedly took her eyes off him.

"It's raining so hard, it's not going to rain overnight." There is no air conditioning in the room, it will be cold if you only wear underwear, Zhang Ke sat behind Tang Jing, and held her delicate body in her arms to keep warm, this is the end of this year's summer and autumn flood season, and after a period of time, the city embankment consolidation project of Xinwu will officially start, and the rectification of the provincial water conservancy system will also kick off.

"Shall I also go to Hong Kong to study?" Tang Jing put down the glass full of hot water, twisted it around, and put her palm against Zhang Ke**'s chest, with the temperature of hot water, and looked at Zhang Ke with some hesitation.

Zhang Ke knew that what she said "also" did not mean that she had studied at the University of Hong Kong in the middle of summer, but that Xu Siren was also in Hong Kong, this topic, Tang Jing had said it casually before, and this time it was officially mentioned, Zhang Ke picked up Tang Jing's silky face, stared at the dark and translucent deep starry eyes, knowing that she would not disobey her mother not to study abroad, and was afraid that it would be too lonely to study abroad alone, smiled slightly, and said: "It can be said that I think from next year, I will have a lot of opportunities to go to Hong Kong, It's just time to see you. ”

"Really?" Tang Jing was still a little unconvinced.

"How dare I lie to you?" Zhang Ke smiled, and opened his mouth to bite Tang Jing's delicate straight nose, "Instead of worrying about anything else, it's better to worry about whether there will be a school that accepts your undergraduate admission......

Although Hong Kong will return to the motherland next year, it will be a matter of 98 years after Hong Kong universities directly recruit students from the mainland, and it will be a little more difficult for Hong Kong universities to apply for undergraduate studies in Hong Kong colleges and universities in 96 and 97, but it is not impossible.

Because several institutions of higher learning in Hong Kong are all public, the local source of students in Hong Kong is far from being able to meet the enrollment needs of several institutions of higher learning in Hong Kong, but recruiting students from other places must first solve the problem of the source of scholarships for this part of the students; in 96 and 97, several institutions in Hong Kong did not have scholarships specifically for mainland students, and in addition, there were many Chinese people who admired foreign countries, although the undergraduate education of the University of Hong Kong, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology was also quite good in the world, there were still very few students studying in Hong Kong for undergraduates.

The cost of studying in Hong Kong for four years is about 450,000 Hong Kong dollars, and there is a way to solve this part of the cost.

Tang Jing turned her head and scattered her half-dry and fragrant hair between Zhang Ke's neck, thinking in her heart, what would that woman look like? Sometimes I have inquired with Chen Feirong on the side, but I feel very vague, it is really useless to think of myself in the summer of ninety-four, I only know that I hid in the room with my mother and cried, if there is no Zhang Ke, I don't imagine how bad my life will be in the future. When I looked back, I saw Zhang Ke's deep eyes also looking at the rain curtain outside the window, thinking: Will I meet that woman when I go to Hong Kong? Some are afraid, but there are some expectations, because this man wants to know everything in his heart, even if it will make him afraid, he has to face it.

I hugged the thin snow-white quilt that smelled of disinfectant and talked in the middle of the night, listening to the sound of rain and the occasional blue lightning that struck the glass window; The rain subsided, the thunder stopped, and the light of the sky shone outside the window, and the two of them fell asleep with their limbs entangled.

"Beep beep beep ......" Chen Feirong knocked on the door in the aisle, "Tang Jing, it's time to get up." ”

"Ahh Tang Jing sat up stiffly, "It's over, this girl's reputation has been ruined like this, Concubine Rong must laugh at me...... I told you to go back to your room and sleep, you see how ...... you"

"I've only ruined my reputation," Zhang Ke looked at Tang Jing innocently, "Do you think it's easy for me to sleep with a delicate spirit like you......" Zhang Ke stood up directly from the quilt and exposed it in front of Tang Jing's eyes, "You ask him, is it uncomfortable?" ”

"I'm going to die," Tang Jing smiled and wanted to shoot that thing, but she was too shy to touch that thing, grabbed the quilt and wrapped Zhang Ke's body in it, "Quickly get dressed...... but she had a headache to think of an excuse to cover her ears and steal the bell to explain to Chen Feirong that Zhang Ke was sleeping in her room.

"Beep beep beep ......" There was another knock on the door outside, but softer, Chen Feirong seemed to hear Zhang Ke's voice, and said with a suppressed smile outside, "Do you want me to go outside again to buy some and come over early?" There was a girl talking next to her.

"It's Su Yiting, my God, what time is it now?" Tang Jing whispered to Zhang Ke that it was already nine o'clock at this time, but they chatted until dawn before sleeping; shouted loudly to the outside again, "Don't, I'll get dressed right away," Tang Jing was wearing a nightdress, and it didn't matter, she threw all the clothes that Zhang Ke took off on the chair on him, glaring at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, "Concubine Rong will dare to laugh at me later, you will die." ”

"What does it matter to me that Chen Feirong is making fun of?"

Zhang Ke innocently dressed neatly, Tang Jing probably felt that Zhang Ke would be embarrassed in the room, and pushed others into the bathroom before opening the door.

Chen Feirong came in, carrying the breakfast she bought, Zhang Ke brushed her teeth with a mouthwash cup, opened the door and looked out, the girl who followed Chen Feirong in did look much better after orthodontics, and she was worthy of the posture of a middle-aged person. Su Yiting obviously didn't expect Zhang Ke and Tang Jing to be in the same room, staring at them with round eyes, looking at her surprised and shocked eyes, as if she had done something rebellious, Zhang Ke pursed her lips, held up the mouthwash cup in her hand and said nonsense: "The faucet in my room is blocked......"

Military training exercises, more precisely, military training exercises, as a student cadre of the student union, Chen Feirong also enjoys some kind of exemption privileges, the military training exercise is only carried out in the afternoon, Chen Feirong does not need to go to the playground to make final preparations like other freshmen, you can desert.

Tang Jing will reveal some intimate things between her and Zhang Ke to Chen Feirong, Chen Feirong heard Zhang Ke messing around, the corners of her mouth curved and smiled, it was a thunderstorm at night, who wouldn't want to sleep in the arms of their lover? She put the breakfast on the glass table and said, "There are tofu brains, fritters, and tea eggs early, and these three things are reasonable here, I will go to the student union meeting later, and throw Su Yiting to you for half an hour." ”

Su Yiting hesitated, as if she felt that getting a little closer to Zhang Ke would defile her pure heart, but she didn't give her a chance to choose, Chen Feirong helped Tang Jing and Zhang Ke to set up and leave early.

Zhang Ke washed up, listened to Su Yiting chatting with Tang Jing and said that she was from the Department of Mathematics of Normal University, and asked her: "Oh, is there a beautiful woman named He Xian in your Ninety-six Mathematics Department?" ”

"Huh?" Su Yiting looked at Zhang Ke with wide eyes, and looked at Zhang Ke with some incredulity, "Do you know what the trouble in our dormitory is?" ”

"Woe to the water?" Zhang Ke patted his head, "She's called disaster at this time......"

"What do you mean by 'at this time'? How did you know her, didn't you hear her mention you? Su Yiting looked at Zhang Ke inexplicably, "The new school flower of our Normal University, along with Tang Jing and Chen Feirong, are all disaster-level beauties, oh my God, why am I so miserable, when will I be able to escape to a ravine without beauties!" ”

Of course Zhang Ke knew He Xian, but in another life, he was the first to call He Xian "woeful water", if it weren't for Chen Ning's sudden appearance without warning to make him change his past, He Xian would be the next target. After graduating from university, when he traveled to Huishan for a long time, he met He Xian, who was working in the international department of the Bank of China in Huishan City, and talked about the past, He Xian also said that "even if I cheated you at the beginning", Zhang Ke regretted it, but at that time, Zhang Ke regarded He Xian as one of the few friends of the opposite sex who could talk to him, and he had already given up the idea of deceiving people into bed.

Su Yiting's question, Zhang Ke naturally couldn't answer it, just smiled and said, "I've heard others mention ......"

"Tang Jing, you have to pay close attention to your family, he misses beautiful girls as much as he wants, even if he hasn't seen them, he has heard them say from others." Su Yiting warned Tang Jing with a smile, and then turned back to Zhang Ke and said, "You are too distracted, it's like a big radish with a flowery heart, I'll go back and tell He Xian that there is a super flowery radish that misses her." ”

"Super big flower heart big radish," Tang Jing stood up and gently pinched Zhang Ke's cheek, "You are not allowed to miss other beautiful girls, do you know?" He kneaded his face twice, laughed twice, and went into the bathroom to wash.

After Zhang Ke and Tang Jing finished breakfast, Su Yiting also helped eliminate a fritter, and Chen Feirong slipped back: "Today, you just need to go to the playground at two o'clock in the afternoon." ”
