Chapter Thirty-Six: Walking in the Night
"The doors are locked, aren't they?"
"It's locked. You should go back quickly. β
"Hmm. I'm leaving, bye-bye. β
"Hmm."
Separated from Lin Haiyuan, I walked in the opposite direction. The classroom lights have been turned off, and another evening self-study is over.
I walked to the top of the stairs and was about to go downstairs when I suddenly heard a voice from downstairs: "Okay, see you next time-"
It's Director Tang! He's at the top of the stairs on the second floor right now!
It's not good, if I go down now, I'm sure I'll have a head on with him, and he'll be interrogating me againβ
"Yi Yin Fei, why did you go back so late?"
"Yi Yin Fei, what are you doing in the classroom?"
No, no, it's scary to think about, I can't go down and fall into the net now.
So what to do? Waiting here? But when? And, what if he comes up?
Suddenly, I had a flash of inspiration, turned around and ran in the direction Lin Haiyuan and the others were walking-
"Da-da-da-" The sound of my footsteps echoed through the dark and empty hallway.
"Run!" Behind them, I shouted to them.
They didn't know why, but when they saw that I was in such a hurry, they also ran after me.
"What's wrong?" They asked as they ran.
"Director Tang is on the second floor, I heard him talking at the staircase, I don't know if he will come up!" I replied.
"Ah, run-"
We ran through the hallway, and when we reached the staircase at the other end of the building, we stopped to make sure that there was no one behind us.
"Well, there's no one behind. Whew~ It's okay, it's okay, it scared me to death just now. I said.
"So what do you do now? Walk back again? Lin Haiyuan asked me.
"Of course I won't go back! I'll just follow you this way, and I'll just go around the school ring road later. β
"Let's go, then."
We walked down the stairs and out of the school building to a large open space in front of the flag-raising platform. Walking through the clearing, I walked onto the Ring Road, and I could walk along the Ring Road to the main road and exit the school gate.
I walked behind Lin Haiyuan and the president, watching them talk as they walked. The president always wanted to get close to Lin Haiyuan, but Lin Haiyuan didn't want to be so close to him for some reason, so he always dodged to the side. The two men walked into a serpentine shape. This president, I know that he likes Lin Haiyuan, and he said that people are not good people, so you can die with a hard mouth, I can see it clearly.
Hey, it's fun to look at them like that. In my heart, a sense of happiness arises spontaneously. It would be nice if the three of us could be together like this every day.
At the other end of the open space was the dormitory, and we walked forward and faced a dormitory building. The building is brightly lit, and this is the precious time for students to "go to bed", and the sound of each dormitory coming out and "buzzing" in front of the building makes the whole building look like a giant beehive.
It's so energetic -
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
When the dormitory area arrived, I said goodbye to Lin Haiyuan and the president, and set out for the rest of the journey alone.
This section of the road around the school is also by the pond. Now it is the beginning of November, late autumn, the lotus flowers have already withered, the lotus leaves are gradually withering, and the whole pond is a group of "the leaves of the green leaves are gone".
It's a pity, nothing good is eternal. But in my good mood at the moment, it seems that this decaying pond also has a messy beauty.
The moonlight tonight is also beautiful.
"Suddenly, Jing Shanbi was entrusted to the more Yin people. High invasion mirror, bright through Tianjin. Seri Banji Zheng, the god of light and Luochuan. The wheel of the pool moves, and the Guiying gap is new". A full moon hangs above the weeping willows in the pond, "flowing in the middle of the sky", which is a good night view of the garden.
"The wheel glow pond moves, and the guiying gap is new", good poem! Isn't that the right thing to do?
I looked at the reflection of the full moon in the pool. "The hook shakes the rabbit shadow, and the floating osmanthus moves the danfang", as if you can really see the jade rabbit in the moon and smell the fragrance of the cold cinnamon on the moon.
Unexpectedly, I was able to accompany Lin Haiyuan back to the dormitory today, although I didn't send them downstairs in the dormitory - this is too much, and it is too unsafe, in case I run into the teacher who checks the dormitory - but it can be regarded as sending them to the dormitory area, but we have walked a long way together.
That's great. Just imagine, three young people, walking together on the way back to the dormitory, what a beautiful picture of friendship!
I'm going to do that in the future. I thought to myself.
The next night, after locking the door, I quietly followed Lin Haiyuan and them. Lin Haiyuan saw that I was going in the opposite direction and asked-
"Yi Yin Fei, why are you going this way?"
"Director Tang is over there, I don't want to meet him again." I say.
"Oh." He didn't say anything more.
I was overjoyed: Great! Am I fooling around? From now on, I can go with them at night after school!
Since then, every day at noon and in the evening, I will take a detour around the school in order to walk a little more with Lin Haiyuan.
But I think I'm lucky, how many people can send their favorite people to the cafeteria and back to the dormitory every day? It's almost something that couples do. And I, through continuous efforts, approached Lin Haiyuan step by step, increased the time spent with him step by step, and found various opportunities and excuses for my waiting and detour, which finally led to today.
Being able to walk side by side with your favorite person after school every day is probably everyone's wish! I never thought I'd be able to have this day before! In the past, I could only look at the person I liked from afar, and I felt that the distance between each other was so far away, but now I can get close to him and talk to him about interesting things that happen every day, this is really not a dream, is it?
I am where I am today thanks in large part to the president.
If it weren't for the president's troublesome trip to our classroom twice a day, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to leave school with Lin Haiyuan. How suspicious would it be if a man and a woman walked together every day after school? I don't think Lin Haiyuan will let this happen. Even if he could, if there was no president, I wouldn't have been able to get acquainted with Lin Haiyuan so quickly.
Thanks to the president, he has given me so many opportunities to be with the people I like, and he has added so much fun to our daily lives. Although he is my rival, it doesn't matter, he didn't show it after all, as long as he doesn't say it, we can still be pure friends.
Now I follow his arrangement and follow his route every day in order to accompany Lin Haiyuan, so in the future, will there be a day when he will follow my arrangement in order to stay with me for a while and follow my route to take a long detour? Can I fantasize about that?
Let him go with it or not, it doesn't matter right now. Whether Lin Haiyuan and I have a future or not, it doesn't prevent me from enjoying the present with him.
Now we walk together every day, talk and joke together every day, and that's enough.
