The few days of the Spring Festival passed in a flickering manner, and the rest of the winter vacation was like a transparent fish falling into the tide of time, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye. During the Spring Festival this year, Liang Jing did not come to ask Chen Ying out, but only sent a symbolic message of greeting on Chinese New Year's Eve. Chen Ying replied politely as usual. She spends a lot of time reading, and she has almost flipped through the well-known sociology and economics books. This habit is beneficial to her, and she believes that doing so will give Liang Jing enough time to say goodbye.

"I'm not going to send him off." On the day Ye Feng was leaving, Liang Jing said to Chen Ying, "You and Wang Yi should go." I don't have anything to say, I wish him a smooth journey. ”

"Don't you regret not going?" Chen Ying asked tentatively.

"No, it won't."

"Maybe he has something to say?"

"Everything that needs to be said has been said, so why cry and cry. Make a good impression on each other, and go their separate ways from now on. Liang Jing shook the ponytail behind her head and said nonchalantly, "If he asks, he will say that I am busy in the laboratory and have no time to go over." ”

Chen Ying knew Liang Jing's temper, and it was in vain to persuade her. Chen Ying sat in the laboratory of the Department of Psychology in a white coat, softly flipping through David Lisman's book "The Lonely Crowd", trying not to make a sound. Liang Jing knocked off a few test tubes, and one flask cracked because it was not cooled in time and cold water was added. She looked around for the broom in a bit of a frustration, kept her face silent, and vigorously rubbed the broken glass shards scattered here and there with a dustpan, and finally threw them in the corner of the laboratory with a bang. Chen Ying didn't speak, looking at her from her seat.

"Aren't you in a hurry to get to the airport?" Liang Jing asked loudly. Her face was swollen red, and the instruments on the table crackled. The glassware had not yet been wiped, and clean water had accumulated at the mouth of the container, shining.

"There are six hours left before the plane takes off." Chen Ying looked up at her watch and said, "I made an appointment with Wang Yi to pick him up downstairs at Ye Feng's house, and then go to the airport together." ”

"It's all arranged." Liang Jing lowered her head, like a child with a disappointed wish. Chen Ying walked over and stroked her head, ignoring the tears that were dripping from her sleeves. Chen Ying dragged her to a nearby chair and patted her on the back gently. After so many days of forbearance, the emotions poured out like a flash flood, Liang Jing buried her face in Chen Ying's arm and trembled, sobbing silently. Chen Ying didn't know what to say. The room was silent, and the sound of water droplets from the faucet falling on the bottom of the pool could be heard.

After a while, Liang Jing stood up, covered her face with her hands and walked out, and washed in the corridor water room. When she returned, she didn't notice anything unusual except for her red eyes. She sat down in the seat before leaving, Chen Ying poured a cup of hot water and put it in front of her, she raised her head and drank it all.

"I'll go with you in a moment." She said categorically.

"Really?"

"Really."

"You're so good, and let him rest assured."

"There's nothing he's worried about." Liang Jing said self-deprecatingly.

"Maybe." Chen Ying said serenely.

"For example?"

"You."

"Me? How can it be? ”

"'Affectionate parting since ancient times' is what Ye Feng often says. No one doubts your true intentions. When people are young, they always feel that the world is so big and they are so small, and if they go abroad, they will be separated from each other. But the world is unpredictable, going around in this global village, who can be sure that they will not meet again in the future. As long as the friendship for each other is still preserved, there will be hope. ”

"I didn't want to go because I didn't want him to think that as soon as he left, he took my world with him."

"After all, you've been with each other for so long, and no one can steal those pasts. I guess he also wants to keep this relationship, so he agreed to be your friend, and he has played so many scenes with you that no one can fool. The person who really lets go will turn around and leave, and even if you see him every day, you can clearly feel the distance between them. ”

Liang Jing didn't say anything more. She tidied up her lab equipment and changed into a thick down jacket at the door. The winter vacation is coming to an end, and the heating equipment in the laboratory building has stopped since the holiday, and the entire corridor is cold and cold, freezing people's knees numb.

"You say, does every girl have to go through a broken love before she grows up?" As they left the laboratory, Liang Jing suddenly asked, "It's like a compulsory course in life." ”

"Maybe." Chen Ying said.

"I really envy Sun Wei in your dormitory, who can handle every breakup so well." Liang Jing wiped his nose and said.

"The feeling of losing a lover is always lonely and empty, and the reason why I envy it is probably because you haven't seen her secretly sad. No one wants to retake a course so many times, and in the process of failing again and again, they may give up the major. ”
