Chapter 1: Long Time No See 8
After returning from the town, everything seemed to be back to the way it should be, and I continued to immerse myself in my busy studies. It is said that freshmen are the most serious on the entire college campus, and during that time, I should be the most serious among the most serious people.
Maintain the habits of rural life. I get up on time at half past six every morning, I used to help my family work, but now I can only go for a run without labor, wash up and have breakfast, and then start the day of study. The scheduled class time in the morning passes quickly, and the most painful is in the afternoon, usually I choose to stay in the library, I can pass the afternoon alone, and occasionally go out for a walk, the Internet café is also a good pastime, a movie or a few quiet songs, let my head empty.
It was during that time that I read the book "How Steel is Made" and was fascinated by it, and I have read it three times in a row, and I still can't put it down. The sentence in the book: "The most precious thing in man is life, life belongs to us only once, and a person's life should be spent in this way: when he looks back on the past, he will not regret that he wasted his time, nor be ashamed of his inaction." This sentence is the most memorable for me. Compared to Paul in the book, everything I went through was really nothing. And the love mentioned in the book, the love story of Paul and Linda, also touched my immature mind.
I am content with the current state of life, which is very simple and fulfilling, I can empty myself unscrupulously, and I can also seize the time to enrich myself. Even if my life is busy, there are always some empty places in my heart, and I have no intention of filling them. If you know that life is like this, but you want to fight with life, but in any case, you can't get rid of real life in the end. All I can do at the moment is to make myself more fulfilled, in addition to time and mind.
In the more than a month that I have enriched myself, Fan Xin has also disappeared from my life. On his way back to school that day, he made a big decision: "I'm going to be a soldier," he said. Surprise is for sure, but also happy for him, because that's his dream, he wants to go. On the road that day, we talked about dreams, the future, life, and thoughts. And after that, he didn't come to me again. I guess he's busy with his own dreams.
With the loss of contact with Fan Xin, Zimu and Xiaoxiao disappeared from my life. During this period, Zimu called me twice, stood at the door of the guard room, and after a brief greeting, the call ended. The book "The Three Musketeers" has been in her two months, and I didn't mention her last time because of the suddenness of the trip, and I still haven't mentioned it again in these two phone calls. You can buy another book, it's really not appropriate to meet, I think so.
Xiaoxiao also called me once, oh no, it should be said that he wanted to find Fan Xin through me, I can only reply sorry that I can't find him. In this era when communication is not very developed, we all have to learn to use more patience to kill the anxiety of waiting.
Weekends are always tough. Because I couldn't find a single book in the school library, I spent the whole day, reversing the bus back and forth three times, and finally found what I was looking for at the largest bookstore in the city, and it was already eight o'clock in the evening when I returned to school. When you are tired and hungry, you will always have a compassionate attitude towards the world.
School is almost here, and after a day of tossing, it's finally time to rest. I carried a bag of instant noodles in my arms, and I bought "The Golden Age" for a day, and my steps became faster and faster. I thought about going back and eating instant noodles and started reading, trying to finish this book this weekend, and I heard that it was a great book.
When I looked up and saw two lights at the school gate shining on a familiar figure, I recognized the person as Zimu. With her hands folded around her chest, she stood in the doorway of the guard's room, leaning against the doorframe. At this point, she had apparently seen me as well, and was waving towards me and coming in my direction.
"Long time no see!" Five meters away from me, she spoke first.
"Why are you here?" It seemed like she was the first to say hello every time.
"I haven't graduated yet, isn't it normal to go back to school? Besides, there's no better place to wait for you here. Zimu showed her attitude without showing weakness. Here! Return your book. ”
I saw that what Zimu was holding on his chest was my book "The Three Musketeers" that I hadn't had time to read. "Oh! Are you done? "I didn't know what to say for a while, and I looked stupid.
"You haven't eaten yet?" Zimu looked down and saw the instant noodles I was lifting. "Is that all there is to eat?"
"Well, just fill your stomach." Is there anything wrong with eating this? That's what I'm trying to say.
"Let's go." Zimu turned around and left
"Where are you going?"
"Dinner, please."
"Why?"
"Why? Just follow along. ”
It turns out that you are such a strong girl, I think why do you feel different to me today, it turns out to be the real you. I muttered to myself, but my feet unconsciously followed.
Passing by the guard's room, the eighth master poked his head out and smiled at me, and I smiled politely back.
Around the school, there are a lot of places to eat, but I rarely come to this annex to eat, usually in the school cafeteria to solve three meals a day, there is really no food, I will choose instant noodles. It's really not convenient to go to the restaurant alone, and it takes dozens of dollars to eat a meal outside, and you can eat a lot for three yuan in the school cafeteria.
Although he thought so in his heart, he still followed behind Zimu. Can't be too ashamed, I said to myself.
Zimu took me into a small restaurant and ordered two stir-fried vegetables and one soup. "Let's eat!" After the dish was served, Zimu invited me to join me.
"You don't eat?" I was really hungry, and found that Zimu didn't have the idea of moving the chopsticks, so I asked politely.
"I've eaten it."
The whole time, Zimu watched me eat all the dishes, as well as two large bowls of white rice. Maybe it's because I'm really hungry, so I don't eat as much as I used to, and I eat more than before.
"Walk with me?" Zimu took the initiative to pay for the meal when I was eating. Seeing that I was done eating, I made this request.
"Good!" There is no reason to refuse.
In this way, we walked south on this road that we had walked countless times on the road that we had walked countless times out of the small restaurant. After walking for about twenty minutes, a small park appeared in front of him, and Zimu proposed to take a stroll around the park. I agree, probably because I've eaten too much or I'm too tired, and I'm still in a bit of a trance.
On a bench in the corner of the park, Zimu and I sat side by side, and it was the first time we were alone. The picture of the bus to the beach that day suddenly appeared in my head, which was very real and very unreal. With a slight shake of my head, I let myself out of a state.
"What are you thinking?" Zimu asked me first.
"Nothing." I almost blurted out, I can't say I'm thinking about you. "Why are you waiting for me here?"
"I called you in the afternoon, and the eighth master said that he couldn't contact you, I guess you went out. I just had something to get back to school, so I'm waiting for you here. You live such a simple life, I think you must have come back very early. Zimu smiled and said to me, "Sure enough, I'll only wait for half an hour." I was going to wait until nine o'clock. Ha ha! ”
"Then I should be back later." I have to show some backbone to have someone waiting for someone to wait so happily.
"If you can't wait, you'll leave! It's okay anyway, I don't care. ”
"You said you came back to get things, why were you empty-handed?" Suddenly realizing what Zimu had just said, I was curious.
"Oh! Someone sent it back for me. ”
"That's it!" When I saw Zimu showing some discomfort, I suddenly remembered the white car downstairs in the town hotel. I guess he was sent back.
