Chapter 8: A Different Kind of Youth
2004 was a memorable year for China, and in the summer of that year, the Chinese finally sent away the **, finally could abandon the masks they had to carry, and could finally breathe unscrupulously and shout heartily.
"Isolation", a terrifying word that used to remain only on paper, has been deeply experienced by all Chinese once in the past year, and even more so by the proud sons of heaven on university campuses. zìyóu's freedom and unfettered are precious after the vigorous movement.
The blazing sun made the air tremble, and the endless cries made the campus seem cleaner in the afternoon.
A few people lay lazily on a few bookstalls under the weeping willows on the shores of Lake Zhōngyāng at the F University of S City. They were all lying on plastic sheeting, their faces covered with the Journal of the University.
Under the fiery sun, two young men ran along the lakeside avenue. They seem to be running. But the wilting action was like being filled with lead.
They finally ran to a stall out of breath, and one of them kicked the stall owner on the ground.
"Third child, get up. The water is coming. As he spoke, a puff of pure water fell to the ground with a clatter.
The stall owner on the ground sat up, grabbed a bottle, unscrewed the cap and poured it urgently.
The man who kicked him looked at him with a smile, and the one next to him looked at him fiercely.
"Third child, if the boss hadn't dragged me here, I wouldn't have run out at noon. You say, you're endless, and you can't stop for a while on such a hot day. See for yourself, there's not even a ball of hair here, what kind of book do you sell? Besides, even if it is your turn to sell books, you are not short of money, boss, do you think he is sick? ”
His grumbling was interrupted by a slap in the back of the head from the boss.
"You're sick. The fourth. The third child has a pursuit. Hey. The Boss winked at him.
"Ahh Understand, pursue ...... But people can't see it. It's still a stupid hat, normal people can't do it. The third child touched the back of his head that had been scraped.
The stall owner, the third child, had already drunk a bottle of water at this time. He still can't get enough of it.
"Come on, brothers. Drink water. He threw bottles of water over to the stalls next to him.
"Big brother, fourth. Thank you. What about the second brother? Why don't you see him, it's too boring. The third child looked around.
"Don't blame him, he's so fat, and he's still sweating when he sits there. I've been wiping my body with water now. I haven't stopped playing at 11 o'clock until now. Looking at him, we both felt too hot. Staying by his side is more panicked than being outside. The Boss sighed.
The three of them looked at each other for a moment, and they all laughed.
"Third child, this is not the way, and all the exams will be completed in a few days. No one will be idle to buy books at this time, so take it. The Boss frowned.
The third child smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders.
"Big brother, it's no fun. It's been a semester younger. It's like this every weekend, it's going to be a holiday soon, let him stick to it. He's already stunned, how was the last semester, showing off at the prom, running to the dormitory with the guitar to confess, and the result is not all gray, the whole thing is eye-catching. Our dorm is now a joke in front of other departments. He's just two words: "slut". The old four jumped on the side.
"Shen Lehao. Shut your stinky mouth and be careful I pump you. "The third child is crazy.
"Li Xiaobai, am I wrong? The big beauty of our department, An Jin'an, is so obvious to you, you ignore it, that Su Qing doesn't pee on you at all, you are still like a big nymphomaniac, you are a slut. Shen Lehao, who was hiding behind the boss, continued to shout.
"Boss, get out of the way. Tell me to beat him up. This kid's broken mouth is not repaired. Li Xiaobai was full of muscles.
"Third child, look around." The boss grabbed the third child's hands.
Li Xiaobai glanced around, and he sat on the ground hatefully.
A few practice stalls next to him looked happily at this side.
"Be careful, I'll go back and clean you up." Li Xiaobai glared at Shen Lehao.
"The third. What the hell has happened to you? You have indeed been chasing that Su Qing for more than a year, so you should have a result. The Boss sat down beside him.
"Alas. Shame on you. Still like that, lukewarm. The sisters in their dorm were too nice to me, but she didn't do anything. This is really evil. Boss, am I Yushu Linfeng? Li Xiaobai was first frustrated, and then puffed out his chest and posed.
"Yes, and the family has a lot of money. Herds of mules and horses. The maid was like a cloud...... "Shen Lehao next to him."
"Yes...... Fart your way and get off the edge. Li Xiaobai woke up from his intoxication.
Boss Fan Peng Yile leaned forward and back.
The three of them had a blast together.
"Forget it, I can see it. I don't have any hope for college. I'm graduating in one year next year, and it seems that I'm going to have to leave F University with a clean body. It's a pity that this famous school, I'm ashamed of her. Li Xiaobai sighed.
"Alas, there is also your famous family as a coal boss" Shen Lehao next to him also sighed leisurely.
Li Xiaobai had no choice, he could only face this dormitory brother with a wry smile.
"What's this? Aren't we all singles? It's okay like this, how easy it is to break into society without worry. The boss comforted the wounded son.
"Come on, it's because of this that I want to catch up with Su Qing to add glory to our dormitory, but now...... Alas. Li Xiaobai drooped his head.
"Don't sigh, so many people are chasing you, can't you stop being so tendoned? I think An Jin is really good, our department flowers are always running to our dormitory, can you not be so stupid. What the hell do you think. "Fan Pengyi is like a guide.
"Boss. This is really fucking evil, I just can't help but think about Su Qing, I feel distressed when I see her. It's strange for you to say, An Jin is no worse than Su Qing at all, but it seems to have some shortcomings. Li Xiaobai seemed to be desperately trying to grab something.
Fan Pengyi turned his head to look at Shen Lehao in confusion.
"It seems that Su Qing is a little different from us. I've been busy outside all day, but my grades are pretty good. I heard from people in their department that she had passed the note examination herself, and it was said that she also worked as a housekeeper or something. Shen Lehao inquired like a bag.
"Fart, that's a tutor. No more, you're really welcome. Li Xiaobai's face really sank.
"Third brother, I know that she is a tutor, but it is said that her housekeeping is also very good. It could be a housekeeper or something. Don't be angry, now the housekeeper is a good man, you have to understand everything, such as how to set up wine, how to visit flowers, procedures and practices of famous Western food, and so on. I don't know, but I've heard of it. Shen Lehao explained very seriously.
The three of them were silent for a moment.
"yes, so I'm not confident. How do I like such a girl, as if she is not from the same world as us. What the hell is she trying to do? Li Xiaobai was even more depressed.
"Don't be discouraged, everyone has seen your efforts. You don't have to chase a girl like this on your terms, but you did it, and you did it well. You can be regarded as a green chūn without regrets. Fan Pengyi patted Li Xiaobai on the shoulder.
Li Xiaobai grinned bitterly.
"Forget it, I admit it. Compensate her for the rest of the school's green chūn. It was tiring, but maybe it was the best time I would ever think back to. Li Xiaobai cheered himself up.
"Boss, take a look. This is the typical slut face. Life is limited, and there is no end to making cheap mistakes. ”
Laughter. The sound of slapping sounded again on the lakeside.
The hot air becomes much more comfortable as the night falls.
On the Bund, citizens gather in twos and threes to enjoy the cool after dinner.
Su Qing, who was dressed in a white dress, walked casually along the Bund, and she walked here directly after being a tutor. It's her favorite place to be.
Su Qing held on to the guardrail and quietly watched the scales and ripples formed by the breeze and the pouring moonlight on the water, but her heart couldn't calm down.
"Nǎinǎi, I've been here for two years. I've blended in here, and it's no longer a stranger. I know the whereabouts of that man, too. I'm going to work hard, I'm going to try to make myself more confident, and I'm going to make that person regret abandoning me, regretting that he abandoned a treasure. nǎinǎi, give me strength. So that I will not be intimidated by difficulties, I will not be intimidated by exhaustion. nǎinǎi, I miss you. But I can't go back to you. Waiting for me, waiting for me in good health. She made a wish to the flowing water, and she hoped that the river would flow to the sea, to her loved ones.
