Chapter 71: Memories and Hopes
"So this year, there will be no quiet time to be admitted to graduate school, and it will be at least three years."
"It's easy to say, but it's not that easy."
"I believe that as long as you are willing to put in the effort to do it, you can do what you want to do, because you have the ability."
"You know how to comfort me by saying good things."
"I just know you, so I absolutely believe in you."
Bai Ye said softly, he had seen Chen Xiaodi doing his best, which was a level that even he could not do, so he always believed that as long as that firmness did not dissipate, Chen Xiaodi would definitely be able to realize his dream and succeed.
"But fortunately, with you, if it weren't for these chicken soups for the soul of yours, I might not really be able to last so long."
"Me too."
"Huh?"
"Nothing."
The corners of Bai Ye's mouth rose slightly, for him, Chen Xiaodi was not the most dazzling light.
"Something's got to happen, say!"
"It's nothing, it's just an old thing."
"Old things?"
"yes, very important old thing."
Bai Ye took out a booklet that he had never left before, and there was a three-inch photo in it, the boy in the photo had gauze wrapped around his head, his pale face was almost bloodless, there was a beautiful cake on the cabinet next to the bed, and a piece of it was cut out and put on the small table in front of him, and the girl sitting on the edge of the bed held a fork to his mouth, poking a fresh strawberry that had just been taken off the cake.
Bai Ye smiled softly, this photo he had carefully preserved, it was the warmest part of his old memory, and it was the beginning of him becoming who he is today.
Chen Xiaodi heard the meaning of selling off in Bai Ye's words, so he simply didn't continue to ask, and when he wanted to tell himself, he would naturally say it.
"By the way, have you seen the invitation letter for the school celebration sent by Mr. Zhang in the circle of friends?"
"See, do you want to go back?"
"Want to go back, what about you?"
"I'm thinking about it, but I'll not know until then."
"It seems that it was Sunday, and you have a weekend off, so there shouldn't be a conflict, right?"
"It's not a conflict, but according to the company's predecessors, you need to sort out all the information in the first half of the year, and you have to count the materials that will be sent to each branch after counting, so you will be busy, maybe you have to work overtime."
"Well, I thought I could finally go back with you this time."
After graduating from high school, Chen Xiaodi went back many times, most of the time with other classmates, or at the invitation of the teacher, and had cordial and friendly exchanges with the younger students in their class, but never went back with Bai Ye.
Bai Ye often wants to go back to see the teachers, but there has been no suitable opportunity, and it is rare to be free in his junior year, but Chen Xiaodi was not able to be with him because of the exam.
"There's going to be a chance."
After a long time, Chen Xiaodi finally arrived, and the moment she walked out of the book city, she felt that her legs were almost no longer her own, and the stuffy feeling in the air finally dissipated, and the cool breeze blew, and some chaotic spirits were also lifted.
In the evening, Chen Xiaodi received a message from a friend who had a good relationship in high school, saying that there was a book bar in the school, and asked her if she wanted to check it out.
A certain heartstring was suddenly plucked, Chen Xiaodi agreed almost without hesitation, she no longer remembered when the idea of opening a book house appeared, only that since then it has become a part of the future she envisioned, and it can no longer be replaced.
The school is not allowed to enter, so I have to make an appointment with a teacher before I come every time, although the doorman will not ask every time, but I can't make a call to the teacher on a whim. The last time Chen Xiaodi came back with a few classmates in the class, he met it, and the teacher who had made an appointment in advance didn't answer the phone for a while, but fortunately, Chen Xiaodi got through the phone of the head teacher, and the group successfully entered the school.
The next day, when Chen Xiaodi came to the school gate, it was not yet the agreed time, it was the school gate closed during class time, she stood in the shade of the tree and waited for her little sister, she didn't come back for a long time, the school changed the new gate, and took a picture and sent it to Bai Ye, and still received a reply quickly.
"You really like to run to school, which teacher are you going to find this time?"
"No, Xiran said that the school has opened a book, so I want to go and see it."
"You can even get a book bar into the school?! It seems that the school has really changed a lot after graduation. ”
"That's not it, you didn't see Mr. Zhang's circle of friends posting photos of activities at two ends in three days, it is said that now there are coming-of-age ceremonies at the beginning of the second year of high school, how could we have such a good thing at that time."
"Yes, this is the event you want to participate in the most, but you never have the right opportunity, and then it's gone."
"Then you still take it out and say it! Believe it or not, I'm really crying to you! ”
"Don't believe it, it's too hard to make you cry, I've thought about it carefully, there are really not many things that can make you cry."
"You have ulterior motives!"
"Nope! Not really! I swear by the lamp! ”
As he was talking, the long-haired girl in a light-colored dress ran over from the other side of the road, although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, but the other party in their eyes had not changed much, and after a long hug, the two girls entered the school together and walked towards Teacher Zhang's office.
Chen Xiaodi suddenly remembered that the first year of high school had just started, on the first day of military training, Chen Xiaodi was watching from the sidelines because of a recurrence of a foot injury, and it was this girl she called Xiran who was watching with her at that time, she was very warm, and they were not familiar with each other on the first day of school, but she took the initiative to hand Chen Xiaodi a tissue and accompany her back to the classroom. Later, the head teacher gave Chen Xiaodi a leave, and when she returned to school at the end of a week of military training, it was this girl who gave her a big hug.
Maybe it's because of this, they have always been good friends in the three years of high school, even if they are not in the same school in college, they often keep in touch, and she will come to Chen Xiaodi's school to get together with her when she is free.
Teacher Zhang's office happened to be in the same building where they were in the first and second years of high school, and the steps extended upwards, and once again came to the familiar corridor, the two girls were a little emotional, and they both glanced in the classroom when they passed by the first year of high school.
The classroom was facing the staircase, and the office was next to the staircase, and when the two of them arrived, Mr. Zhang happened to enter the door with a few papers and beckoned them to sit down at his desk. At this time, the bell rang for the end of class, and some students poured into the office, and Teacher Zhang's desk was suddenly full of people.
"You sit down for a while, I've got something to deal with."
"Okay, you're busy first."
The two girls agreed with a smile, looking at the school uniforms that had changed again, and suddenly felt a little emotional.
