Chapter Twenty-Three: This Time, Let's Say Goodbye
"When I reach the age of 22, I'll trick you into getting a license!"
When his finger swiped over the photo on the screen, Chen Mobei's ears sounded inexplicably. For a while, Gu Qingran was very dissatisfied with herself, and her whole person was immersed in inferiority, always confirming that Chen Mobei loved her over and over again, and asking him over and over again if he would marry her. The boy comforted her with kind words at first, but he was asked too much and became impatient. The little girl stomped her feet angrily and said that when I reach the age, I must trick you into going to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Chen Mobei laughed at her for being stupid, in fact, where could she deceive, he couldn't wait to lead her into the house.
It's just that right now, she is 22 years old, leaning on someone else's shoulder and smiling like a flower. The ring on her hand has changed, and the originally deserted circle of friends has also become lively, and she has made no secret of letting everyone know how happy she is now.
Chen Mobei flipped through a few Gu Qingran's circle of friends, and read the things he had seen many times before, as if he could be less sad. I don't know when some of the things related to him have been deleted by the girls one by one, no matter how fierce they quarreled before, Gu Qingran never deleted the photos of them together. After thinking about it, it was probably when he was tempted by Lu Zhi and deleted their past.
The screen suddenly went out, and the last picture was a group photo of the two people, Chen Mobei threw his phone aside and covered the quilt. In the darkness, there seemed to be a sigh of nothingness.
Because she was worried about Lin Lu and didn't see the little sisters during the winter vacation, Gu Qingran only took a taxi back to school after eating lunch with Lu Zhi. Senior Brother Lu still cared about the children's re-examination, and told her a few words not to just play and remember to prepare for the interview, and the little girl perfunctorily said that she would say goodbye if she was good. Lu Zhi put the suitcase for her, and pulled the little girl into his arms and hugged her for a while.
"I really don't want to let you go." Gu Qingran was obediently held, and Lu Zhi's deep voice sounded in his ears again: "When I finish processing all the experiments here, I will go to work in T City, and when the time comes, do you want to live with me?" ”
Gu Qingran didn't expect Lu Zhi to ask her this question at this time, she was naturally willing, speaking of which, she actually liked the feeling of waking up and having someone she liked by her side. Lu Zhi also seemed to notice that his question was a little abrupt, and he didn't force Gu Qingran to answer it now, patted the girl's shoulder, and sent her into a taxi.
After that, Lu Zhi still went back to the laboratory, looked at the processing process of the experiment, and then thought about how to tell Mr. Lin that he wanted to go to the company earlier. In fact, his graduation thesis had already been completed, and Mr. Lin never let him go, keeping him to guide his younger brothers and sisters. If it was placed before, Lu Zhi didn't think it was anything, he still liked the atmosphere of the laboratory very much, and Mr. Lin was kind to him, so he was naturally happy to help the teacher. It's just that at the moment, it is more than half an hour's drive from T City, which still makes him feel very inconvenient.
Just thinking about it, a new message popped up on the phone:
"Mr. Lu, what you just said seems to be illegal cohabitation."
Lu Zhi was about to reply, and suddenly jumped out of the next one, Lu Zhi's reply stopped, leaned on the seat and laughed, this little girlfriend of his own is really interesting.
That message is:
"Still, I do."
——
The girls' party is to eat and go shopping, and in the ambiguous light of the café, Gu Qingran bit her fork and frowned and listened to Lin Lu talk about their winter vacation. Zhao Ke's family seems to want the two of them to settle down quickly, the boy has started an internship, and in the eyes of his parents, even if his work is stable, he also hopes to settle down in this regard. Big concept books are different from work after all, Lin Lu and Gu Qingran both feel that they are still studying, how can they trap themselves by the side of a person so early? It seems that Zhao Ke also has the same attitude as his family, and inexplicably, Gu Qingran began to worry that Lu Zhi would be like this. Although she is willing to "live illegally" with Lu Zhi, she is actually willing to fall in love with Lu Zhi instead of getting married.
The word marriage is too serious and carries too much responsibility. Gu Qingran and Lin Lu are not ready to take on this responsibility, if they can, they would prefer to always be in love and not get married.
"Actually, Zhao Ke can understand it himself, after you go to graduate school, you are so far away from him, he himself should understand that you can't continue."
Lin Lu took a bite of the matcha cake and nodded. In fact, it is something that everyone knows, but it is not yet time to find out, but they will make it clear after graduation at the latest.
With the last bite of tiramisu, Gu Qingran wiped her mouth, went to the front to pick up the puffs she brought for Guan Yue, and walked towards the school affectionately with Lin Lu in her arms.
Although school will start tomorrow, there are no classes in the second semester of the senior year, so it doesn't matter if you come later, Li Nian and Mo Xiaoqing will not arrive at school until the day after tomorrow. Gu Qingran was in a hurry to see Lu Zhi, and on the other hand, she was too comfortable to eat at home and wait for death, so she came to school to study, oh and one more, the tutor she contacted before also told her to come to school earlier - she could go to work in the laboratory.
Gu Qingran was thinking about going to meet the tutor first tomorrow morning, the tutor she chose had taught them in their undergraduate years, and he was recognized by the girls in the department as the most handsome teacher in the department. Gu Qingran did not deny that she chose him because this teacher was more handsome, but she also discussed with Lu Zhi and her family when she chose, although her mentor was young, her advantages were also young and energetic. There are fewer students with him - Gu Qingran only has one senior brother, so he is more hands-on in his guidance. In addition, he gets along well with the students, so after a comprehensive weigh, Gu Qingran still chose this teacher Chen - no matter how bad it is, I am very happy to look at this handsome face every day.
Gu Qingran's senior brother, as his name suggests, is called Qin Mian, and he looks like he is studying hard and steadily. Gu Qingran didn't know if this was good or bad, although such a senior brother could take her to study and do experiments, but it was boring after all. Forget it, I don't know it yet, maybe I'm an interesting person.
I don't know if all college seniors are so boring, of course, it may just be Gu Qingran and a few of them are bored. After all, some of the working students have already gone to the unit for internship first, and some of them who are taking the postgraduate entrance examination are seriously preparing for the re-examination - Lin Lu and Li Nian are looking at the books of the professional courses in a panic every day. Mo Xiaoqing failed the graduate school entrance examination and was busy submitting her resume for an interview in the school recruitment in March. Liu Qing was escorted and went to another school early. It seems that only Guan Yue and Gu Qingran are admitted to the school, and they are lazy in the dormitory every day to watch dramas or go out. Because of the tasks assigned by Mr. Chen, Gu Qingran occasionally went to the office to sort out materials or learn to process data. Guan Yue's teachers are still studying abroad, and I don't know if they will be able to come back when they enter the school, so she really has nothing to do.
In this way, Gu Qingran has a lot of free time, and he often runs to Lu Zhi's side.
Teacher Lin finally met the "lady" in the mouth of his proud protégé, not only did he see it, but they all knew this little girl in the whole laboratory - after all, Gu Qingran went to Lu Zhi almost once every two days. Unlike most girls, she didn't feel so wronged.
I have time, and I want to see you, so I'm here to see you.
This kind of life lasted until the end of March, when the re-examination of the graduate students finally ended, and Lu Zhi finally drew an end to the life of the graduate students, and packed up and came to work in T City.
At the final farewell banquet, Mr. Lin authorized Lu Zhi to take Gu Qingran to attend. After all, he was a student who had been brought by himself for three years, and Mr. Lin had a lot of reluctance to Lu Zhi, but fortunately, Lu Zhi stayed in T City to work, and it was always much more convenient in the same city. Lu Zhi promised that the teacher would visit often, and of course, he would also bring his little lady with him.
At the beginning of April, the dust had almost settled.
Most of the people who went to graduate school went to the place they wanted to go, and a few students went around and returned to T University; Mo Xiaoqing got a job that seemed to be good, and moved most of her belongings to the company dormitory in J City one morning; Lin Lu went to S University in the next province and said goodbye to Zhao Ke politely; Li Nian and her boyfriend went to the university in City B together, Gu Qingran didn't know if they would be better in the future, but Li Nian was happy, so it would be good.
Gu Qingran was not ready, and the people around him had already begun to say goodbye.
First of all, Fu Sichen came to her for a meal, saying that he had signed the studio at home, and he was going to go back to work, and he would come back again at most when he defended. Gu Qingran listened to him blankly, they didn't have too close contact earlier, but all of a sudden, it seemed that the two of them had gone in two directions, and Gu Qingran suddenly wanted to cry.
"I'm leaving, we can't go home together in the future, you have to take care of your own things." Fu Sichen touched Gu Qingran's head, Gu Qingran looked up at him, suddenly his eyes were wet, and he gently hugged the person in front of him, saying okay, goodbye.
And then there were some people at the radio station, and it seemed to be a tradition that every class of people who were going to graduate would have a farewell. Although Gu Qingran has not broadcast for two years, probably because of Shi Jin, everyone in the station recognizes her as a senior. Watching those who went through Boeing training together and later sat on the anchor desk together say goodbye to everyone one by one, inexplicably, Gu Qingran was a little sad. Probably because he was not the one who left, Gu Qingran was not so sad that she cried, but she was panicked. On the other hand, people who want to go to other places are all crying with their friends around them.
Who knows if you will be able to meet such a lovely group of people in the next place? The experience of loving the same thing seriously and trying to do a good job will never happen again. Gu Qingran suddenly remembered that when she was a freshman, the radio station organized a speech contest, which was still in the new campus at that time, and it was the first large-scale event of the radio station. It was Shi Jin and them, with these people in front of them, who had no experience and made many small mistakes, but they insisted on holding the event.
There are some things that you will know how memorable it is only after you have experienced it.
In June, the whole class arrived, even after I finished speaking, I didn't leave.
Who knows if this will be the last group event?
After that, it was time to take a graduation photo.
Gu Qingran never thought that she would reunite with her old friend again when she took her graduation photos.
