Chapter 3: Honoring Our Lost Youth

It can be seen that Dongfang is not willing to continue on this issue, so Bai Yexing gave up asking questions, and only silently kept the matter in his heart.

Someday, I'll find a chance to figure it out.

Then, he played with the pure black card in his hand, is this the symbol of a warrior?

"I wonder if I can one day become one of them?"

But then, he couldn't help but laugh bitterly, understanding how ridiculous and unrealistic this idea was.

Martial arts are noble, but not everyone can do it.

If you want to become a martial artist, you need at least a certain amount of talent, you also need enough financial investment, and you need a good master to take you to get started, all three are indispensable.

Without talent, no matter how much you cultivate, it will be in vain.

Without financial resources, embarking on the path of martial arts is tantamount to asking for torture.

And without a master, you can't even enter the door, let alone cultivate?

I don't know if I have the talent, and I don't know if I have the financial resources.

Dispelling this thought, Bai Yexing's gaze fell on the black card again, and finally fixed on the phone number.

"Forget it, whoever it is, if you have time to call this number, ask him to come and pick it up, or send it to him yourself. ”

This thought turned in his heart, but the old man in the peaked hat who had just gotten off the car appeared in his mind.

If anyone on this bus is most likely to leave this black card, it is the old man in the peaked hat who was sitting here just now.

It's just that he is the vice president of the Haitan County Martial Arts Federation, a two-star Qi Vein Realm martial artist with a distinguished status, and his travel should not be car-to-car, so how can he be so depressed that he needs to take a bus?

Perhaps, to be aware of the people's feelings?

Smiling, Bai Yexing casually put the black card into his shirt pocket, then stopped thinking about it, closed his eyes, and continued to sleep.

......

"It's here, it's here!"

Awakened by Dongfang Jibai beside him, Bai Yexing opened his eyes, only to find that the bus had arrived at the terminal.

Outside the car window, there is the blue sea, undulating waves, and yellow-white sandy beaches, shining like grains of gold under the sun.

Rubbing his eyes and smiling, Bai Yexing got up first and got off the bus, followed by Dongfang Jibai.

The two of them faced the sea breeze and saw the vastness of the world, and they couldn't help but feel open-minded.

"Let's go, according to the map, the base barbecue is not far from here, don't make everyone wait for a long time. ”

Dongfang Jibai took out his mobile phone, tapped it with his finger, and a map unfolded, he glanced at the location shown by the small red dot on the map, which was not far away, so he turned his head to look around, and suddenly couldn't help but be happy.

Not far from the sea, there was a huge wooden house, surrounded by an iron fence, and the fence was covered with vines and full of greenery.

In the encircled place, there are several wooden tables of all sizes, and a sign surrounded by many small colored lanterns is hung there, and the five big characters of 'base barbecue' are written in crooked and oblique fonts.

"Found it, go, get in!"

Dongfang was white and white at night, as if he had completely forgotten the loneliness on the bus, and returned to his original vigor, and walked towards the wooden house first.

Bai Yexing said "um", and didn't say much, just a small step behind, slowly followed behind Dongfang Jibai, and walked forward.

Before I got closer, I smelled a strong spicy smell in my nose, which was the aroma of barbecued food.

Walking through the fence, I saw that on the sand, there were already people busy, the barbecue grill was spread out, and the beef, chicken wings, pork handles, clams, mushrooms, tofu, etc. were grilled, and hot oil was constantly dripping down the grill, causing a soft sound of charcoal fire "Zi", and a small cloud of white smoke was rising.

Just then, a young man in a blue short-sleeved shirt came out of the house, holding an iron tray in his hand, and was about to deliver a large amount of baked food from the boss.

Seeing Bai Yexing and Dongfang Jibai walking together, the young man in blue couldn't help grinning: "Oh, the Bai Shuangsha in our class is finally here, everyone come out to greet them!"

"!"

Dongfang Zhibai stepped forward and punched the young man in blue in the chest, but then, he couldn't help laughing.

Everyone is a classmate, and it is inevitable to nickname each other.

Dongfang Bai Yin and Bai Ye walked closer, saying that the names of the two were fateful, and they had to set up a combination of 'Bai's Shuangxia', but their group of classmates were willing to give up, they really called them Shuangxia, so they simply changed the last word and called them Bai's Shuangxia.

And this young man in blue, surnamed Yu Ming, is nicknamed "Taoist Priest", because his ancestors are said to have produced a Taoist master.

But no one knows whether this is true or not, anyway, he is chattering on weekdays, full of immeasurable heavenly dignity, helpful to others, and one of the pistachios in Bai Yexing and others' class.

The three of them walked inside side by side, and as they walked, Dongfang Zhibai grabbed a large handful of pork directly from the tray, first stuffed a few into his mouth, and then handed Bai Yexing a few, the three of them talked and laughed, and walked into the lobby.

At this time, dozens of young people like them had gathered in the lobby, all around the table, and the soles of their feet were filled with several boxes of Xuejin, two of which had been opened and were blowing bottles to each other.

Hearing the movement, everyone turned around together, and when they saw Yu Wangzhen bringing Bai Yexing and Dongfang Jibai over, they couldn't help laughing: "Haha, Bai's Shuangsha is finally here, but you are too late, you know the rules, punish yourself with three cups!"

"Three cups is three cups, who is afraid of whom?"

Dongfang walked to the table on the side, did not take a cup, directly took two large bowls, and after asking someone to open the wine, he poured a large bowl while pouring, first handed Bai Yexing a bowl, and then raised his head and drank it "gurgling".

A bowl of wine went down, and I couldn't help but burp.

Pour again.

Drink again.

After three bowls, the audience burst into warm applause.

"Refreshing!"

Seeing this, Bai Yexing smiled bitterly, although he didn't want to drink like this, he had to pinch his nose and pour three bowls in a row, and everyone gave up.

The tables were seated, and the atmosphere was warm again.

Eat grilled roast.

Drink beer.

Even if it's a girl who doesn't drink alcohol on weekdays, she talks more today.

Bai Yexing is in the seventh class of the third year of high school, there are a total of forty-six students, each table can squeeze about eleven or two, forty-six people are just divided into four tables, Bai Yexing and the others sit at the second table where Yu Wangzhen is.

In addition to him, Yu Wangzhen, Dongfang is white, and there are eight students, both male and female.

Everyone discussed the college entrance examination that ended yesterday.

Possible future paths are also discussed.

Someone is full of spring breeze.

Some people are depressed.

Someone is scrappy.

There are also people who are gloomy.

They can still get together today, but after today, they may be separated, and they may never meet again in the future.

Life experiences, family environment, academic performance, aspirations, and even the other half of the future.

will have a huge impact on everyone's life.

The separation is imminent, even the classmates who had grievances in the past have all disappeared at this moment, and everyone hooks their shoulders, eats meat, and drinks a lot.

After all, this difference, whether there will be a chance to see each other again after graduation is two words.

Everyone couldn't help but feel a little sad.

On the seat, there was a girl with freckles on her face, drinking and drinking, and suddenly cried in a low voice.

After crying, she picked up a glass of wine, and suddenly walked towards a table, where in the center, there was a handsome young man in gray clothes, who was their squad leader, Jian Hanqiu.

He has good academic performance, is handsome, and most importantly, his family is also wealthy, and he is one of the most influential people in the class.

The freckled girl raised her sprinkling glass and suddenly said, "Squad Leader Jian, I toast you, after saluting, I have something to tell you." ”

"Oh?"

Jian Hanqiu was a little surprised, and didn't understand why this girl, who had always been silent in the class, suddenly crossed the table to toast herself, but her good quality still made him stand up, pour a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Li Li, do you have something to tell me?"

"Hmm. ”

A pale flush appeared on the girl's face, but it was then replaced by perseverance.

She raised her head and drank the wine glass in her hand, and then looked at Jian Hanqiu fixedly.

Jian Hanqiu was helpless, so she had to drink the wine in her hand, and then pointed the empty cup towards the girl named Li Li.

Li Li suddenly said loudly: "Jian Hanqiu, do you know that I have liked you for three years in high school." ”

"Ahh

Jian Hanqiu never expected that Li Li suddenly came over to toast him, and it turned out to be a confession to him, and he couldn't help but be a little dazed by this sudden attack for a while.

He looked at the freckled girl, frowned and said, "Li Li, you know, we are still just students, even if we graduate, we are still a student after all, is it a little early to say this now." ”

"It's not early!"

Li Li shook her head, her face still stained with tears.

"You're on top, I know you can't climb high. That's why I've never told you, but if I don't say it now, I won't have a chance in the future. ”

"I don't ask for results, I just want you to make me vomit. ”

Jian Hanqiu frowned, and wanted to speak several times, but finally stopped.

Seeing this, Li Li said quickly: "One dream for three years, three years of regret, I have always wanted to tell you, and now the dream has come true." ”

"Do you remember, when you first entered the school, you took the initiative to say a word to me, and I liked you for three years. ”

"For three years, when I was dividing seats, I deliberately asked to sit behind you. ”

"I like the way you look at me. ”

"Waiting for you, too, to love me. ”

"But I know it didn't work out. ”

"But I'm willing to keep going. ”

"Because I know it's not easy to meet you, and it would be a pity to miss it. ”

"It is enough for me to be behind you and see you every day. ”

"The way you smile when you smile, the way you frown, the way you do your homework seriously, and the way you look when you are praised by the teacher are all replayed over and over again in my memory. ”

"As long as I can watch you silently, I'm happy enough. ”

"Through the wine, I said what I have been wanting to say for the past few years. ”

"I don't expect you to feel the same way, but I hope you can listen to it. ”

"To like is to like. ”

"May you have a good time for the rest of your life. ”

"It turns out that you like me and not I like you. ”

Speaking of this, Li Li lowered her head and suddenly said, "I know, I am not worthy of you, and I also know that we will never be possible." Although I graduated, I was actually willing, and I could wait, but I knew that you didn't need me to wait. ”

"So, best wishes ......"

After speaking, she put down her wine glass, suddenly hid her face and cried, and said hard: "Will you hug me, I am so sad, I am sad for you." ”

Jian Hanqiu stood there, and at this moment, everyone in the audience put down their wine glasses and turned their heads to look at him together.

He was thin and slender, and stood there like a sword.

His fingers are white, and he wears a watch on his wrist that does not match his age, a silver-white wristband, and the dial emits a faint blue light, just like the starry sky.

Such a person is naturally the center of everyone, and a watch is not something that ordinary people can afford to wear, but when worn on him, it seems to complement each other and increase elegance and handsomeness.

But at this moment, he was also stumped.

Some people envy, some sympathize.

In the end, he still reached out and gently hugged the girl in front of him, and said softly, "I'm sorry." ”

The girl burst into tears and laughed instantly.

She raised her head and said, "Don't be sorry, I will always remember this day, thank you, squad leader, I went back." ”

Jian Hanqiu didn't know what to say, so she had to say "um".

Li Li turned her head back to Bai Yexing and the others' table, and the scene just now seemed to have never happened at all.

She poured a new glass of wine, and then raised it to Bai Yexing and the others.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I respect you. ”

"To our departed youth. ”

"To our vision for the future. ”

"All our expectations will come true one day. ”

Everyone was stunned and looked at Li Li, who seemed to have a new look and changed into a person, glanced at each other, and suddenly raised the same full glass.

Dongfang Jibai said loudly: "Come, everyone, respect our friendship for a long time!"

"Respect for our future!"

"Drink!"

"Drink!"

It was not just a day trip to their table, but after this incident, everyone realized that the time to get together was very short, and the day of parting was coming. We can still sit together now, and after today, many of them may never be seen in the future.

Among them, Li Li is not the only one who admires her.

But like Li Li, they never dared to confess to others for three years.

And the future is confused.

Li Li is quite brave, although she knows that it is impossible, after all, before parting, she said what she was going to say.

But how many times they mustered up the courage, they still couldn't open their mouths after all.

At this moment, only wine can speak to the heart.

"Come!"

Laughing and laughing, someone cried.

Crying and crying, someone laughed again.

After a round of drinking, some people fell asleep on the table, some people spoke loudly, and some people were silent.

At the table, someone suddenly spoke: "It's a pity, Jian Hanqiu is here today, and the other one is double, but Banhua Lu Shuiwei didn't come, and she can't even see her last side." ”

"yes, yes. ”

Someone said: "It is said that she even took only half of the college entrance examination, and was directly sent to the army by her father, and now in this year, the world has changed greatly, and the status of martial artists is getting higher and higher, and joining the army is the best opportunity to contact martial arts, and no one is willing to let go." ”

"She is a swan, and she is afraid that she will get farther and farther away in the future, and whether she will have a chance to see her is two words. ”

"Hey!"

A few sighs.

When Dongfang Jibai heard this, he suddenly thought of something, poked Bai Yexing beside him with his arm, and said with an obscene expression: "Yexing, you have been at the same table with Lu Da Beauty for a year, and she suddenly left, don't you have anything to say?"

Bai Yexing was stunned for a moment and said, "What do I have to say?"

Dongfang Jibai leaned over and whispered in his ear: "You have been at the same table for a year, haven't you been touched by each other and have a little affection? She is the biggest beauty in our class, even Li Li plucked up the courage to confess to the person she likes today, you actually ......?"

Bai Yexing said angrily: "Phew, you think everyone is you, you love people when you see them." ”

Dongfang Jibai shook his head and said: "Oh, it's a pity, it's not me at the same table with her, otherwise with my family background, maybe I can still develop, and now, we just graduated, but she went to the army, I'm afraid that we are people from two worlds, and ......it's difficult to see her again."

Bai Yexing shook his head and simply ignored him.

However, that was only on the surface, in fact, there was a slight disappointment in his heart.

For Lu Shuiwei, he felt very complicated.

It's not the kind of kind of unforgettable, non-gentleman who doesn't marry, and who doesn't marry.

It's just that beautiful people and things are always worthy of appreciation.

Dongfang Zhibai really said that he was not wrong, although Bai Yexing refuted it, in fact, after a year of being at the same table, bumping into each other, this beautiful woman finally left a ripple in his heart that could not be dispersed.

Although I never dared to think about it, I just didn't want to, but I couldn't even see the last one today.

A little depressed in his heart, Bai Yexing didn't care about Dongfang Baibai anymore, let him mix in the crowd to laugh and scold, he just sat silently on the side, drinking stuffy wine, and the lively and joyful scene in front of him was only boring for a while.

Suddenly, he patted Dongfang Zhibai's shoulder, took out two hundred yuan from his pocket, and handed it to him: "Dongfang, I'm a little bored, go out for a walk first, breathe, this is my share of the money, and when you hand it over to the squad leader, help me pay it by the way." ”

Dongfang Jibai took the money with a stunned face and said: "After eating and drinking, everyone is still going to go to KTV for a crazy night, don't you participate?"

"Nope. ”

Bai Yexing waved his hand and walked towards the door.

Dongfang looked at his back, and suddenly seemed to understand something.

He thought he was just a joke, but he didn't expect it to really hit Bai Yexing's heart.

sighed in his heart, these two people, one heaven and one earth, but the gap between Jian Hanqiu and Li Li is even bigger.

He couldn't bear to say, "Do you want me to go with you?"

"No, I don't. ”

Walking out of the gate of the barbecue in the base, Bai Yexing walked unconsciously along the beach, gradually getting farther and farther away from the barbecue restaurant.

After walking for hundreds of meters, a mountain col appeared in front of me, and after turning the mountain pass, I came to a secluded harbor by white night.

It was very calm, there was no one, the blue waves were blowing in the wind, he walked to a reef against the wall and sat down, took off the clover sneakers he was wearing, put them on another reef, and then stared silently at the sea in the distance, thinking nothing.

The time quickly fell into night, and on the other side of the col in the distance, there were colorful lights.

At this moment, his classmates who drank too much are entering the KTV in groups of three or five, although they are a little far away, but their ghosts crying wolf howls are still coming with the night breeze.

Suddenly, there was a cheer from the KTV, and someone shouted: "Li Li is going up, hurry, cut the song, cut the song......"

Then, a hoarse and soft singing voice came from afar-

Someone has spent their entire lives trekking for you

Some people begged but couldn't, and finally they were at a loss

You are the flow of treasure light, the moonlight in the sky

But this world is bitter and happy, but he does not understand it

The knot hair is in the same car, and they have passed through the alleys outside the window

The people who stand side by side are at odds with each other

All of a sudden, you and I passed by......
