Chapter 1: That Morning
I don't know what to do, and I go deep.
It has always been through the youth that I know where love goes. After being helpless as always, you will realize the pain of forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes.
Yan Yu walked in the high school campus, looking at the pond behind the teaching building, a small pile of lotus flowers in the corner was blooming, and the old pavilion surrounded by lotus leaves seemed lonely and quiet during the summer vacation.
The breeze blew up, and the surface of the pool rippled in waves, drifting to the shore in the distance, and the lotus leaves and lotus flowers swayed gently, as if waving to the people wandering in the pavilion, to tell him that he had walked through the campus.
Thinking about the first love here at that time, the vows and self-deprecation left after the first love, thinking about the high-spirited and eventful years here, but they were only high school years, and they were blurred in just a few years. It is said that when a person begins to feel nostalgic for the past, he begins to grow old.
Yan Yu was a little curious why at this moment, he unconsciously thought of that energetic and confident day.
After walking out of the interesting pavilion of the year, Yan Yu continued to stroll in this quiet campus, the rainy sky brought some coolness to this summer, and at the same time gave another artistic conception to the campus with few people.
Holding an umbrella, although it does not have the charm of the oil-paper umbrella in the Jiangnan alley, but on this deserted morning, the deserted campus, the rainy sky, and the lonely pedestrians are a different taste. Yan Yu walked towards the school's iconic teaching building, wanting to see the classroom where he had spent three years.
As soon as Yan Yu stepped into the stairwell of the teaching building, he heard the sound of "dong dong".
Yan Yu thought that there might be someone upstairs, but this was the time of summer vacation, and it was early in the morning, who would it be, could it be Aunt Cleaning, or someone who came back to see it like herself. After all, the high school students who have just come out of the summer vacation don't have the leisure to get up so early and go back to school to see, and they don't take the opportunity to sleep more.
Yan Yu didn't pay much attention to it, and walked towards his original classroom by himself, the footsteps of "dong dong dong" became smaller and smaller when Yan Yu stepped on the stairs, maybe he walked away, or that person also heard the sound of going upstairs from downstairs, and left slowly in embarrassment.
It didn't take a few minutes, Yan Yu arrived at the third floor of the teaching building, turned around and walked towards the destination, after turning around, he finally saw the owner of the footsteps, but it was just the back, a very ordinary girl, but there was no shyness as Yan Yu imagined, but it was natural to look inside by the window of the classroom, and then continue to walk slowly forward, leaving Yan Yu with only one side or back.
Seeing that the girl's age was not very old, similar to herself, about twenty years old, less than twenty-five or sixteen, Yan Yu thought to herself that it might be the same as herself, a college student who had just graduated came back to see her alma mater, but if the girl's classroom was so close to her, she would not have any impression at all, and she would be familiar with it, unless she had never met at that time.
The girl was also curious about who would be like her, not sleeping under the covers on a rainy morning, but going to run to this school where no one was there.
After looking at the row of classrooms, the girl walked towards the stairs on the other side, and when she turned around and stepped on the stairs, she turned around and glanced at Yan Yu curiously, and at this time, Yan Yu was also looking at the girl curiously.
Their eye contact lasted for two seconds, and Yan Yu first withdrew his gaze, after four years of college ups and downs, he no longer had the enthusiasm to rush up to say hello when he saw a beautiful woman a few years ago. After retracting his gaze, he continued to look into the classroom casually, as if recalling the bits and pieces of those years here, and the girl slowly walked downstairs after reading it.
That morning, they just looked at each other, and neither of them thought of taking the initiative to inquire about why the other party was there, and no one thought of taking the initiative to inquire about the other party's name or saying "Hello, it's nice to meet you this morning, I can leave a contact information", just a simple glance, and then left in a hurry, like a passerby, who has never seen each other and will not see each other again.
That morning, on an ordinary morning, two young people who were about to graduate from college returned to their alma mater together, glanced at each other without warning, and left a figure of each other in their hearts, and there was nothing more.
"Come out, there's nothing to see, just toss, come and have breakfast, it's all ordered"
Ye Yichen had just walked out of the school gate, and her best friend He Yujing shouted at her at the breakfast shop opposite: "How is it, how is it, the ghost shadow has not been touched, I don't sleep in the morning and pull me here to see the school, no matter, this breakfast is yours."
Ye Yichen took the umbrella, put it outside the breakfast shop, and said to He Yujing with a smile: "Okay, eldest lady, don't complain, I haven't been back for a few years, just come and have a look." Don't say there's no ghost, I really met someone, guess who?" "There are still people, guess you're a big-headed ghost, it's early in the morning, it's still raining, and what can appear at school can only be neurosis or neurosis, haha", He Yujing didn't bother to care who the person Yi Zhen said was, and was busy telling the boss what she needed to add to her breakfast and what she didn't need.
Ye Yichen didn't dwell too much on this, but was a little curious, Yan Yu, who was a little famous in high school at the time, would also be an emotional person, and would be in the same mood as her to see the high school classroom in such a morning. She has the impression that Yan Yu has always had good academic performance, is handsome, has good popularity, and is always surrounded by a circle of girls, and there is no shortage of sought after people. She thinks that this kind of person should have no time to play with feelings, so she is a little curious and asks He Yujing to guess, thinking that at the beginning, He Yujing also had some good feelings for this Yan Yu, and showed that kind of little state in front of them.
When Ye Yichen walked out of the campus gate, Yan Yu lay on the railing outside the classroom, resting his arms on the wall to support his body, looking downstairs as before, as if he had returned to that time, he could shout at the classmates downstairs here very presumptuously, he could splash water on his best friends from here, and then hide very loudly, which could attract the attention of many female classmates here, and then he could say if you want to try it.
Yan Yu is actually not a sentimental person, on the contrary, he is a very sunny and energetic teenager, but in just four years, too many things have happened, which makes him become silent and silent, and likes to think about the past, so he will come to school in this morning when no one is there to reminisce about the days of four years ago, and will have a brief encounter with Yichen.
is about to graduate from college, and Yan Yu faces the same problem as all college students, whether to go out to work or stay and continue to study. Thinking about it, Yan Yu also walked out of the campus, it was only seven o'clock now, and there were still not many pedestrians on the road, but the two girls in front of him who left with umbrellas seemed a little obvious, the girl on the left was the girl she had just met, and the girl on the right was a little familiar, as if she had sent a love letter to herself before.
Thinking of this, Yan Yu smiled self-deprecatingly, and then walked towards the breakfast shop.
"It's really Yan Yu, it's a little strange. After breakfast, I was going to go to other places to see, the two girlfriends said a word on the road, and when Ye Yichen mentioned again that she had just met Yan Yu, He Yujing asked her in surprise: "Then is he more handsome now, still so charming, if I don't have a boyfriend, I'll rush back to find him now, haha."
Waiting for He Yujing to finish jokingly, Ye Yichen thought about the brief eye contact just now, and always felt that Yan Yu was not as charming as He Yujing said. Then he smiled and said to He Yujing: "He should still be in school now, or you go back to have a look, maybe there will be a chance encounter or something, and there will be some sparks."
"Nonsense, I still believe in love at present, one day Miss Ben doesn't believe in love, just go and see if the little white face is more mature, whether it can match Miss Ben or another matter", He Yujing turned the umbrella and said unashamedly to Yichen. Ye Yichen, who provoked her, glanced at her angrily, and then the two girls held umbrellas and disappeared into the rain at the end of the street.
That morning, Yan Yu returned to the high school campus to see himself back then.
