31. Graduation
What the sun and moon are like shuttles, time is like an arrow, and the summer solstice clearly feels that time is splashing, and the whole piece of time is trampled by their footsteps and splashed on the ground.
Hurried and hurried, and could not be chased back.
At half past eight o'clock in the morning of June 19, more than 300 graduates of the Department of Chinese gathered in the auditorium of the school, and they took their seats according to the class and student number, and then they went to the stage to receive their graduation certificates and degree certificates in this order.
The robes were worn after they arrived in the auditorium. It was so hot that even if I didn't do anything, I could get soaked through my clothes when I sat in the room, and I knew that I was screaming irritably outside the window, and I could see the twisted heat on the concrete floor.
Although the central air conditioning was turned on in the auditorium, when he first came in, Xia Zhi couldn't help but lift the collar of his white shirt again and again, trying to fan out a little coolness.
Their entire dormitory was tied to each other's student numbers, so the four of them sat together, and they arranged their hats and collars with each other.
The whole process of the graduation ceremony is very simple, the president and the dean of the college send speeches respectively, followed by Xiao Yiqing speaking on behalf of the graduates, and finally go to the stage to receive the certificate, which means that they have officially graduated.
Ten graduates were a group, lined up in a row on the stage, and the principal issued double certificates one by one, took a group photo, and completed batch after batch of assembly line operations. In this way, it also took an hour and a half.
didn't have the exciting atmosphere that Xia Zhi had seen in the movie, but she felt a little perfunctory and boring, but she was still full of emotion in her heart: This is graduation......
In the past few nights, she has also participated in some other dinners one after another, drinking wine every night with her classmates and other good friends.
She thought that she had said goodbye, but after the graduation ceremony, standing in the hallway of the dormitory and seeing the doors open in every room, and the students coming in and out, noisily dragging their luggage, she realized that goodbye can never be finished.
She also packed some things, mainly books and some long-sleeved clothes, and Pan Rui would take them around the rental house little by little. Pan Rui urged her to move in early, the rent was paid anyway, but she still wanted to delay until the last minute.
Summer Solstice wants to send everyone away.
The first to be sent away was Cao Limei. On the afternoon of the graduation ceremony, Xia Zhi, Xiao Yiqing and Liang Lu sent Cao Limei to the long-distance station together.
The computer was packed with a case, bought a small trailer to tow, a backpack carried a few pieces of clothing, and the rest of the things had been delivered away the day before.
Cao Limei bent down and stuffed the computer into the luggage compartment, and when she straightened up to look at the three of them, Xia Zhi saw that the corners of her mouth trembled slightly.
Xiao Yiqing sucked her lips into her teeth, bit them, and hugged Cao Limei: "Remember to come back when you are free." I've always been here. ”
"Me too." Xia Zhi hugged the backs of the two from the side.
"I'll be here for at least the next two years." Liang Lu hugged them from the other side.
Cao Limei raised her face, opened her mouth and laughed dryly, and wiped the corners of her eyes with her fingers: "Don't do this!" I said I wouldn't cry ......"
When she said this, Xiao Yiqing's mouth was flat and she cried: "Why do you say this word!" You don't say I can hold back! ”
Xia Zhi gritted his teeth, and couldn't stop the tears from flowing. Liang Lu was the only one who didn't shed tears, but her eyes were red.
"Alright, alright! Don't cry anymore, I'm leaving! Cao Limei pulled out of the hug of the three and rushed to the car with a shoulder part.
Hearing the car's engine start, the three retreated to a safe position and retreated into the crowd of people seeing them off.
Xia Zhi's eyes were nailed to the front window, watching it move, watching the girl behind the window pull out a tissue and wipe her tears.
This is the first parting.
Every night after that, the summer solstice was experiencing a parting.
There are a lot of things in the company, Peng Ruihan has resigned, Xia Zhi doesn't know if Cheng You has recruited any more people, anyway, the matter of the internal magazine is currently all on her alone, but she doesn't want to work overtime.
During this time, she hopes to return to the dormitory early every night, walk around each dormitory, lean against the door and talk casually to her classmates who are busy packing and leaving and rushing to a new life.
Everyone seemed to be caught in a hectic carnival, giving Xia Zhi the illusion that she was the only one nostalgic for the past.
Everyone cleared out a lot of garbage, she helped pick up the garbage to the garbage station downstairs, helped others press the lid of the carton when packing, and when she couldn't help at the end, she said goodbye or took care, and then quit.
She walked through the corridor to her dormitory, and before she could get there, she saw Xiao Yiqing standing at the door and shouting at her: "Summer solstice!" Come back! ”
"What? It's blazing. She was dragged out of the balcony of the dormitory by Xiao Yiqing, and then walked to the door of the bathroom, and she had already heard the guitar ensemble coming from under the balcony.
The melodious strings overlapped and swayed into the heart, and a cluster of male voices sang the song "Those Flowers" that she and Pan Rui had become attached to.
Liang Lu was already leaning on the balcony railing, and when she saw Xia Zhi coming out, she turned her head and smiled at her: "This pomp is big enough." ”
Xia Solstice looked down, good guy, how much favor is this? More than a dozen boys lined up in two rows, holding guitars and singing, and it was Pan Rui in the center.
He was wearing a white shirt, buttoned to his chest, a strong pectoral muscle looming at the neckline, and his beard was thinly shaved, looking clean and fresh.
The surrounding balconies were gradually filled with people, some whispering discussions, but no one loudly disrupted the tranquility of the music.
"Is this a confession to whom?"
"Graduation shouts......
"The one in the middle is Xia Solstice's boyfriend......"
"It's romantic...... Why doesn't anyone sing to me......"
Xia Zhi's smile spread from his heart to the corners of his lips, and his heart was also plucked by his fingertips, and the whole person seemed to have been soaked in a honey pot.
Well, this limelight is big, but she has always liked to keep a low profile, and she is not half uncomfortable. What girl doesn't love such vanity? What's more, the person who sang "Now that the grass is overgrown here and there are no flowers" is exactly the person in her heart.
She thought that even in the past life, she would still remember this young man who played and sang affectionately downstairs in her dormitory. She loved him so purely.
Finally, after singing the song, Pan Rui raised the guitar in his hand and shouted, "Happy birthday!" ”
The group of boys around him also shouted: "Happy birthday!" ”
Oh yes, it's her birthday. June 21, 2006, the summer solstice. She actually forgot whether she was blinded by the busyness of work, or was she blinded by parting?
Summer is really here.
