Volume 1 青青子衿 【上篇 青青子衿 】/ Shangshu Academyの初encounter
There was silence all around.
The crowd was shrunk into fine black dots, small and bustling, and the silence seemed very fragile.
Suddenly a gratuitous gust of wind rolled up in the calm air, howling dryly, pulling and pushing from the crowd, venting the unease, and the miserable white clouds were swept into the whirlpool of the wind, and the slightly sour air was crushed into the void, and the figures were all pierced red in the eyes.
"The 7th class of the first year of high school, Du Ruolin, because of the bad influence caused by the school, the school will decide to expel the student."
Principal Chen's tone was tough, and he neatly read the punishment book in his hand.
All eyes in the playground were fixed on the girl standing on the podium, there was no superfluous look on her face, and her eyes were just looking blankly and vacantly ahead, unfocused.
Until the last word of Principal Chen landed, there was no sadness in her eyes. She indifferently reached out and took the disposition letter from the principal's hand.
In black and white, she silently read this short and piercing sentence in her heart.
It was such a silence that the crowd in the playground fell into a sour silence.
She slowly raised her head, and there was finally some emotion in her eyes, the painful black reflected the hollow white, the long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the sleeping butterfly wings covered the melting frost and snow under her eyes.
The late anger and unwillingness to be entangled rolled up, hot and sour in her body. She suddenly stretched out her hand, and under the horrified eyes of the principal and all the students, she ruthlessly tore the punishment book in her hand into pieces and threw it into the wind.
The wind caught the fluttering pieces of paper, grabbed them and swayed, fell to the ground, and died motionless.
She turned and walked down the stairs, leaving the headmaster's angry words behind her. It wasn't until he walked in front of the group of former classmates in the playground below that he finally stopped and glanced at the group of juniors and sisters with ruddy eyes.
"Senpai...... Don't go ......."
The scorching sun flickered overhead, ruthlessly exposing the little emotions she was trying to hide, and the warmth gradually surged into her sight, through the uneasy tide in her heart.
Suddenly, her eyes blurred, as if she saw the girl wearing silver braces and smiling sweetly at herself.
She walked through the crowd step by step, her eyes falling on every face in front of her one by one, her heart was indescribable, and all the laughter and memories of the past flooded into her heart, brutally encroaching on all her thoughts. The scorching sun and surging emotions made her eyes, and those friends who had been separated one by one came to her eyes again.
"If you're a neighbor, you're leaving......"
The girl who smiled cutely with braces, the girl who would pretend to be angry and laugh and tease and scold her, the girl who would hit her head with a pen to remind her to study hard, she was the first to smile at her gently.
"Hahaha! Look at your bad luck! ”
Another girl's laughter sounded in her ears, her hairstyle was still the same strange as before, and she often had a poisonous tongue, but she was reluctant to leave herself in that tribulation.
Du Ruolin's nose was sore.
The third girl was silent and did not say anything, but everything welled up in her eyes. They have sat together and shared countless emotions that are so small that they are ashamed to speak, the young and flamboyant love of young girls, the bickering conflicts between friends, countless noisy recesses, and two hands that have held each other tightly......
Even the emotions of anger, irritation, and jealousy that had once been for her became lovely, pulled out of the depths of memory, and spread out to her—they had compiled such wonderful times together.
The tall girl with the mushroom head in the back, when she saw her, it seemed to be back to when they first met, she blinked her eyes and smiled at her, she was just about to talk to her, but Du Ruolin quickly lowered her head and hurriedly walked over.
She didn't want her to worry about her because she was sad.
At the end of the line, it was him.
The pink sweetness that had been hazy in her memory suddenly grew wildly vines, and small sharp thorns were densely pierced into her body, and her breath ached sharply. They strangled her so tightly that she was almost out of breath as silently as they asked.
This boy once warmed her years.
He was still like that, his eyes were clear and deep, and he was spotlessly clean, and the mere mere act of standing there gave the illusion of distantness. He looked at her so far away, his eyes were so gentle, it was a gentleness that had become a thing of the past and would never be seen again.
Du Ruolin smiled at him with difficulty, but the hot and wet tears rolled down all of a sudden.
Finally passed those vague hallucinations.
She walked away step by step, letting her tears flow in her eyes, leaving behind the crowd in the ranks, and all the things in the past.
She cried quietly. In the past, she was a heartless, passionate, and distinct girl, she never cried like this, even sobbing was suppressed in her throat, and the surroundings were quiet, so quiet that it was heartbreaking.
Out of the school gate, she looked back, this step was the first step she took when she came to this school a few years ago, the environment here is the same, but everything has long been different.
She remembered the first time she walked on this green boulevard.
It was a mild dream.
Everything seems to be back to the summer when the grass is separated and the flowers are overflowing.
"Hurry up, hurry up! Don't get stuck here! ”
A cacophony of voices rang out in the memory.
2013, Summer, Shangshu High School.
It's a freshman day of reporting.
The private cars of parents were crowded inside and outside the school, and the gate was a little rusty, and the two security guards outside the door kept taking off their hats to wipe the sweat beads on their heads, and quickly put them back on, under the scorching sun, orderly directing the vehicles entering and leaving.
Du Ruolin and his father got out of the car with two bags of luggage.
As soon as you walk in the door, you will be greeted by two smiling senior sisters, who are dressed in neat school uniforms and wear red caps, which are embroidered with the three big characters of "Student Union".
They walked up to greet their neighbors warmly, helped with their luggage, and introduced the campus and their residences in a colorful way.
This rumored aristocratic school is indeed very attentive. Although all this in front of me seems to be different from the introduction, there are no foreign teachers everywhere, there is no brand new teaching building, and even the ground is full of potholes.
The dazzling sunlight shrouded the entire school in gold. The red flag fluttered, the singing echoed, and the faces of the strange youth were filled with longing and yearning for the new school.
The heat of the scorching sun seemed to dry the girl's last physical strength.
"Senior sister, how far is it?"
Du Ruolin was carrying heavy luggage, her little face was flushed, and the big glasses that were in the way slipped off from time to time, and she had to pull out her hand to push it up.
"It's coming soon, you see, the dormitory building is right in front!"
She raised her head and looked at the endless green avenue in front of her, and an inexplicable uneasiness suddenly swelled in her heart.
What will the three years of high school be like?
But no one can predict the future, so it's better to listen to the introduction of the seniors and take into account the beautiful scenery along the way.
"This high school is divided into four major areas, which are also divided into general high school and vocational high school. The first and third high school teaching buildings of the general high school are on the right hand side of the gate, and the second high school teaching building and the vocational high school department are located on the left hand side of the gate. ”
The playground around it occupies almost half of the school's area, and as far as the eye can see, the lush green plants are thriving, and people can't help but hope on this meadow. "It's been three years of high school, but you have to work hard!"
Finally entering the dormitory building, the whole body was immersed in a shade, and Ruolin finally breathed a sigh of relief. The corridor was dimly lit, and from a distance, I saw only a deep black, and the senior sister led the way with a familiar car.
1st, 2nd, 3rd floors. Du Ruolin counted lightly in his heart, followed the footsteps of the senior sisters, and stopped at the door of the 310 dormitory.
The door was open, Ruolin put down his burden, paid attention to the name of his roommate posted outside the door, and took out his index finger and counted it from top to bottom: "Lu Pei, Jiang Yiyan, He Zhiyao, Du Ruolin, Mo Yan, Chen Menglin." ”
"Mo Yan, isn't that the Nobel Prize?"
"Hey! Who called me? ”
When the neighbor heard the voice, a cute mushroom head poked out of the door frame, and the two looked at each other for a moment and laughed in unison.
Mo Yan is a cute mushroom-headed girl, she is a little tall, from Hangzhou.
She happily pulled Du Ruolin in, and took a lot of fruit snacks to beckon her to eat, the two girls sat together and quarreled, and Du Ruolin's nervousness and anxiety when he first arrived at the new school also decreased a lot.
Looking at the two fathers who were also talking happily on the side, her heart gradually brightened, and she couldn't help but look forward to what the other roommate would look like.
She threw the oranges in her hand into her mouth one by one, glancing at the other beds.
Two of the beds had been made early and neatly arranged, but there was no sign of their owners, and two were still empty. When Ruolin made his own bed, no one came.
"Ruolin, do you have enough money? Nothing is left behind, right? ”
Du Ruolin turned his head from the bed and saw his father walking towards the bed with his leisure bag.
Ruo's father was as expressionless as ever, but the words that came out made her eyes hot.
She never left home to live.
At this moment, the family affection seemed to be magnified countless times in an instant, Du Ruolin forcibly suppressed the reluctance in his heart, and said with a smile: "Enough is enough, if it is not enough, I will look for you again." I'm fine, you can go. ”
"Is this quilt warm enough? Do you want to ......?"
"That's enough, it's fine. Dad, if you have something to do, let's go first. Ruolin interrupted his father's words, got out of bed in twos and threes, and smiled warmly.
She urged her father to go about his business, but watched her father turn around step by step, and finally got into the car around the corner, and the tears in her eyes finally couldn't hold back, seeping a little splash.
Even if you are reluctant to give up, you have to learn to live on your own.
At 4 p.m., their parents had gone back to their respective homes. The sun was setting quietly, and the already backlit bedroom looked even cooler and more deserted.
Ruolin and Mo Yan gradually lost their words, and the bedroom fell silent.
At this moment, two girls walked side by side outside the door, and their laughter broke the silence.
"Did you see that boy? The shooting stance is like this—boom—it drops, and I laugh to death. ”
The one on the left was mediocre-looking, laughing and chattering about what she had just seen, her hands dancing in the air, her provocative eyebrows and wild laughter that drew attention to her.
The girl on the other side was very ladylike, she walked softly, unhurriedly, with eyebrow-length bangs and shawl hair, fair and delicate skin, and she looked pretty and cute.
She didn't seem to listen to others attentively, just focused on taking care of her bangs, but she didn't forget to be perfunctory.
"Hey!"
Mo Yan greeted first: "I'm Mo Yan, and the one above is Du Ruolin, what's your name?" Get to know you. ”
"Huh?" The girl who had been talking non-stop since she came in glanced at Mo Yan, and her excitement had not stopped, and she giggled again, "My name is Lu Pei, and her name is Jiang Yiyan." ”
After speaking, she raised her head and looked at the neighbor who was hanging upside down on the top bunk, and her tone was exaggerated: "Oops! Scared me, haha! ”
Kang Ye-yeon didn't say anything, and continued to take care of her hairstyle, and someone replied for her anyway, and when she saw that Lu Pei had shifted her attention, she climbed into bed and went to rest.
Lu Pei has found a new target again, and endlessly pulled Mo Yan and began to ask questions, although Mo Yan seemed a little helpless, he still listened carefully, and Ruolin, who was lying on the top bunk, looked at the two of them, although he couldn't interject, but he also felt very fresh.
This time the dormitory is lively, and the four dragon balls have been gathered, when will the two of them come?
When the atmosphere was still quite harmonious, a person quietly walked in at the door......
