The clouds are faint, the wind is slight, the lake is full of water, the willows are green, the flowers are bright, the grass is green, the buildings are measured, the towers are towering, the charming places in the campus are not to these scenes, and the more attractive thing is that those vigorous students, their various facing the sun, or holding books in their arms to exchange schoolwork, or holding newspapers to talk about national affairs, or quietly reading books and self-study, or whispering in twos and threes, or gathering together impassioned, full of vitality, they are China's future and hope, no one can tell, How many of them will become great people in the world, and how many will become well-known people, but they are the fresh blood of China.

One of them, Zhou Ruikang, was lying on the stone table struggling with one hand and flipping through the book with the other, he was making up for the homework he had missed for a week, although he was experiencing emotional torment, but he did not give up his ideals, nor did he forget his main task.

Finished a prose with a smile, he put down the pen, put his hands on his waist, straightened back, turned his sore neck, stretched his waist, closed the books and homework books, and breathed a long sigh of relief at the sky.

After completing his homework and letting his whole body relax, looking at the spring light not far away, the beautiful lake, what appeared in front of his eyes was that stormy night of thunder and lightning, he kissed her, her mournful eyes, her long eyelashes, her warm and beautiful lips, her slender waist was so soft, she held herself so hard...... The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his qi and blood rushed to his brain, and there was a heat running around in his body, he smiled at himself, quickly shook his head, shook off his desires, rubbed his face, and stood up, he had to rush to the literary club to preside over this issue of the journal immediately.

Holding the books and homework, he turned around and walked a few steps, when he saw Cheng Jiawei waving his hand towards him and running over, followed by the gentle and elegant Xu Ziyan.

"Zhou Ruikang!" Cheng Jiawei is still an innocent and happy smile, as if he has never been troubled, he is giggling all day long, and Ruikang is very envious of his big grinning personality.

"Hey, you've been disappearing for a week, where did you go? I thought you were sick, but when I went to your house, I found out that something happened to the Mei family. ”

"Hmm." Ruikang pursed his lips and nodded, he didn't want to explain too much.

"Why didn't you say it earlier? I want us to go to Mei's house together that day, Uncle Mei and Aunt Mei also greeted us, Jiaqi and I should go to mourn. ”

"Yes, if something so big happens, even if I don't know them, but we are friends, if you need help, you say it, we are obligated." Xu Ziyan said.

Ruikang smiled slightly, patted them on the shoulder, and said, "Thank you, and thank you for Ruojun." ”

"Hey, are you done with your homework? Do you want me to write it for you? Xu Ziyan said with a smile.

"Ha, thank you, it's done hastily." Ruikang patted the book on his hand and said with a smile: "I think it's okay to get by." ”

"I'm sure you can do it. Let's go, a bunch of people in the literary club are waiting for you. Xu Ziyan patted him.

"Yes, Jiaqi is eager to pierce it...... Haha, let's go! Cheng Jiawei pulled them away, but he didn't know that his words had been beaten heavily in Ruikang's heart, and his feet slowed down, Jiaqi, Jiaqi...... He can't get around, can't dodge the name.

As soon as Zhou Ruikang stepped into the literary club, the people who were originally communicating in a low voice and speaking softly suddenly became emotional, and the atmosphere immediately boiled.

"Hey, Zhou Ruikang, you're back, I thought you dropped out of school and became a soldier!" A male classmate said: "I heard that many students from colleges and universities across the country have now put pen to paper. It's really exciting. What about my manuscript? Where, where? ”

A female classmate stood up, patted him, shoved a few pieces of manuscript paper into his hand, and said, "Oops, here it is!" Sit down. He turned his head and said, "Hey, Zhou Ruikang, two articles from the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Finance and Economics, which one will be published in this issue?" I think the issue of eating and making money are both very important! But this issue is not long enough. ”

Another female classmate who was in charge of finances also stood up and said loudly: "Hey, can you be quieter!" Saying that, he walked up to Zhou Ruikang, raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhou Ruikang, if you don't come back, I'm really going to boil." The printing press said that our content was too sharp and dangerous to print or publish. but also increased prices. What do you think? He spread his hands as he spoke.

Ruikang suddenly had a feeling of returning from a dream to reality, and hurriedly stepped forward, ready to discuss various affairs with everyone, just sat down, picked up various manuscripts and browsed them, and suddenly walked in from the side door with a touch of bright red, "Don't worry, everyone, I've done it!" ”

Cheng Jiaqi walked in happily, her face flushed, with her usual bright smile, her eyes flashed with confidence and excitement, holding a magazine in her hand, and said: "I just went to the printing house and negotiated the price with them, and they promised to give us the old price, but Huang Shengsheng's article may need to be slightly modified, but the theme does not need to change, you can still criticize the problem of autonomy in North China." There are also articles about the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Finance and Economics, I have accepted both of them, and in the current situation, more and more people are in a state of hunger, and inflation is so bad, so I withdrew my own essay on the spring and published these two articles in the most conspicuous place. The length is just right. ”

"Oops, that's great!" The students were happy.

"Jiaqi, you are so capable! You go to the printing house yourself and talk to them! Cheng Jiawei ran up and looked at his sister in surprise.

Cheng Jiaqi smiled proudly and pouted her nose, raised her head and said, "Do you know now?" Poof, he laughed, showing his white and neat teeth, and swept his head to Ruikang, who was sitting at the other end of the long table, he was looking at her with a beautiful smile, his eyes were full of gratitude and appreciation, and there was some admiration, and the sadness in his eyes made him look even more charming. She helped him again, and relieved him again, Ruikang was a little puzzled, Jiaqi's existence was like a heavenly soldier sent to him by God, every time he was in trouble or needed help, she always helped him out like a timely rain.

When she saw him staring at her, she couldn't help lowering her head a little shyly, with a smile on the corner of her mouth. Huang Shengsheng immediately laughed and said, "Hey, hey, everyone knows each other!" What to do, what to do! ”

Cheng Jiawei patted him and smiled: "Hey, brother, your observation is getting stronger and stronger, let's go and talk about your manuscript on the autonomy of North China, Ziyan, don't be there, come and revise the manuscript for him." ”

Xu Ziyan smiled secretly, patted Ruikang on the shoulder, and walked to join Cheng Jiawei and Huang Shengsheng.

Several girls also laughed or pulled or pushed Cheng Jiaqi to Ruikang's side, and the relationship and marriage between the two of them was no secret.

Seeing her fluttering towards him, Ruikang's hands kept pinching the pencil and turning back and forth, his brows frowned unconsciously, and the trace of sadness under his eyes suddenly spread on his face, his eyes were looking at her, but his gaze seemed to pass through her body, casting into an unknown distance. Not knowing what was wrong with him, she sat down lightly in the chair beside him and waved her hand in front of his eyes, trying to draw his gaze back.

He was stunned, found himself in a trance, and was a little sorry, took his attention back, and said with a smile: "Thank you so much, once again solved the problem for me." ”

"You're so kind."

He didn't know how to pick her up, was he polite? Shouldn't you be so polite? Because she's his fiancée? It shouldn't be so polite to talk to your fiancée, think about it, if Ruojun is in front of you, you may laugh at her for turning into Mulan, or hold her in a circle in the house, is this normal? But he couldn't say or do anything to Jiaqi.

She was his fiancée...... The wedding date of the two of them has been set, and soon they will become husband and wife, but Zhou Ruikang always felt that this engagement seemed to have nothing to do with him. I have already reversed myself once, do I have to regret it again now? He looked at her bright and puzzled eyes, she was trying to decipher his expression, her eyes were clear, not mixed with a trace of impurities, her life was clean and simple, rich family, smooth growth, harmonious family, and now there was a marriage that everyone admired. How was he going to confess his heart to her, he suddenly remembered Wakari, so on the night of the thunderstorm, the pale face of pain and despair, remembered Wakari's running away from home. His heart was twisted, he couldn't make another Wakari.

Jiaqi became more and more unable to understand the gradually gloomy and sad expression on his face, but she sensitively read that he had something on his mind, he was never such a dignified and melancholy person, once, they laughed together, joked together, he and Jiawei were simply a pair of living treasures, their mouths were like a river, their witty words were like beads, they laughed louder than others, and shouted louder than others, but at this time, Zhou Ruikang in front of him was so taciturn, his eyes were scattered.

"What's wrong with you?" She asked.

"Oh......" His eyes swept around casually, the pencil in his hand tapped on the table, and hurriedly said, "I'll go find the professor to hand in my homework." As he spoke, he picked up his book, turned and walked out.

She didn't know why, so she went out with him and called him behind him: "Ruikang! Ruikon! ”

He didn't look back, just strode forward.

The strange behavior of the two of them also provoked Cheng Jiawei and Xu Ziyan to be very puzzled, and they followed out, and saw Jiaqi standing there with an innocent face, looking at Ruikang's distant figure.

Cheng Jiawei asked strangely: "What's wrong with you two?" Quarreled? Wasn't it good just now? ”

Jiaqi shook her head, she didn't know why at all, and said with some grievances: "I don't know, he has become very strange, I am no longer familiar with him." She frowned.

Xu Ziyan looked at Ruikang's back and comforted Jiaqi and said, "Don't worry, I'll take a look." As he spoke, he ran briskly to catch up with Zhou Ruikang.

"Ruikang, what's wrong with you?" Xu Ziyan grabbed him, Ruikang stopped, looked at him with a sad face, made Xu Ziyan take aback, and said, "Are you in trouble?" Would you like to talk about it? ”

Ruikang was half-dragged and half-dragged by him to the bench by the lake, Xu Ziyan pushed down the glasses on the bridge of his nose, touched his chin, and examined him carefully, looking like a detective, he didn't speak for a long time, Ruikang was uncomfortable with him, frowned, stood up and said, "What are you looking at me like this?" Do I have three eyes? ”

Xu Ziyan pressed his shoulder, asked him to sit down, paced back and forth in front of him, and said slowly: "Ruikang, you are in a very bad mood. ”

"Really? Is it that obvious? ”

"You're not a good person at hiding your emotions in the first place, and now you're writing hundreds of annoying words on your face. How to deceive people? ”

"Ahem----" Ruikang collapsed on the bench, looked up to the sky and sighed, and combed his hair with his fingers at random, he really needed someone to talk to, but how he said it, this was the crux of his troubles. "Yes, I'm annoyed!"

"For affection?" Xu Ziyan said calmly, a pair of eyes revealing a sharp eye.

Zhou Ruikang was a little surprised by his observation, Xu Ziyan leaned on the trunk of the willow tree on the side, wrapped his hands around his chest, smiled slightly, shrugged his shoulders and said: "What can make men so troubled and unspeakable is either money or women." You are the eldest young master, you have a superior life, you naturally don't have to worry about money, and the rest is naturally for women, which is not difficult to guess. ”

When Zhou Ruikang heard him say this, he felt that it was really easy to talk to a smart person like Xu Ziyan, and he couldn't help but smile, and said with a little deliberately difficult and deliberately tested: "Go on." ”

Xu Ziyan smiled, nodded, and said, "Okay, it just so happens that I recently read a foreign detective novel, so let me guess." As he spoke, he looked at him again, frowned, touched his chin and said, "Your marriage to Jiaqi was not your intention, you resisted." Isn't it? ”

Ruikang was stunned, his eyes flashed, and he didn't respond, Xu Ziyan smiled and continued: "You have another lover in your heart, but this woman has a special identity, you can't make her justifiable, right?" ”

Ruikang bounced up from the chair, his face became solemn, stared at Xu Ziyan's face for a while, and then had to look away from the lake and walk to the lake to look at the lake.

"Looks like I guessed right." Xu Ziyan was quite proud of his reasoning ability.

"How do you know?" Ruikang asked with a light sigh.

"If you love Jiaqi and your parents have already decided, what are you worried about? It should be a happy daily ear grinding, but look at you, disappeared for a week, and when you came back to see her, not only did you not have the slightest excitement, but you also turned around and left. Xu Ziyan's precise analysis actually made Ruikang's heart feel a lot easier, at least one person understood him.

"As for the identity of that woman, it is easy to guess, you are a person with a new education, and you are also a firm advocate of breaking the feudal arranged marriage at school, if you have a glimmer of hope, a glimmer of ability to make this woman with you openly, you will spare no effort to become a reality. People will not be discouraged when they have hope and the ability to do things, but they will despair only when there is little hope and they can't reach it, right? At least I can say that the woman is someone your parents can't accept. ”

After Xu Ziyan said these words, the two of them were just silent, facing the rippling microwave lake, and for a long time, Ruikang sighed lightly: "You guessed it right." But I'm not desperate, I'm just worried about how to get out of the marriage without hurting Jiaqi, she's a good girl. ”

"Hehe, Ruikang, how can you have such naïve thoughts?" Xu Ziyan shook his head and smiled: "You want to stab someone, but you also want the other party not to be hurt?" We all know Jiaqi's heart for you, but love is originally for you and me. Since you have a heart, why don't you tell her? ”

"Clarification? No! It's cruel. ”

"Maybe yes, but it's better than keeping her in the dark and being snubbed by you. The wound will always be healed. ”

After thinking for a moment, Ruikang suddenly seemed to be woken up, yes, since he was ready to accept the torment of hellfire, what else was there to be afraid of, he had to face his choice, and his heart suddenly began to clear. turned around and gratefully held Xu Ziyan's shoulder, as if he had found hope in his eyes, and said, "You're right!" Thank you, Ziyan, you are really my good brother. I know what to do. As he spoke, he picked up his book and ran away.

Xu Ziyan looked at his wind-like back, shook his head, and he didn't have time to ask, that is: "Who is that woman?" A breeze blew, and the long drooping willow silk beside him brushed his cheeks, and he seemed to see a delicate and faint shadow like a weak willow in front of him......
