Chapter 4: The Stolen Beauty (4)
7. Graduation photo
Don't wait for the alarm clock of the mobile phone to ring, Liangzi woke up at five o'clock, went to the toilet, and began to wake everyone up one by one after washing.
Wang Xiao quickly climbed down from the bed, set up a table of cosmetics and began to clean up and dress herself, but it was Liang Shan, who lay on the bed for five minutes before sitting up with a chicken nest on his head, watching everyone clean up with confused eyes.
"Yunyun hasn't come back?"
"Well, she said in the group at eleven o'clock last night that she wouldn't come back, and said that she would ride an electric car to the library this morning to meet everyone."
"Oh......" With that, Liang Shan lay down heavily, turned over, rolled up the quilt and faced the wall.
"My eldest sister, you can have a snack, don't you remember what day it is? Hurry up, get up quickly, or you'll be in a hurry later, blame us for not calling you sooner! A slap was slapped on Liang Shan's buttocks, but Liang Shan still didn't move.
Some couldn't cry or laugh, reached out and pulled Liang Shan up from the bed directly, pushed her to the bathroom, helped her fill the washing cup with water, squeezed the toothpaste, and stuffed it into her hand before coming back to continue the makeup action in her hand.
"Ryoko, see if my foundation is too white?"
"Ryoko, do you see if my left eyebrow is crooked?"
"Liangzi, your lipstick looks so good on it, bring it over and let me use it."
"Ryoko, what kind of clothes do you think we should wear in the past?"
"Ryoko ......"
"Shanshan, can you come and save me?"
Liang Shan squatted on the side of the bed and pouted his buttocks, pulled out two pairs of shoes from under the bed, spread them flat in front of him, and then blinked his eyes and said to Liangzi in a flash, "Okay, then tell me whether it's better to wear canvas or these beige wedges?" β
At that moment, Ryoko just wanted to spurt out a mouthful of old blood and drown these two ignorant humans.
At seven o'clock, the assembly in front of the school library was completed, and the person in charge of taking pictures distributed the bachelor's uniforms one by one, and the 30 people in the class were dressed up and took pictures in various poses in front of the library.
"Is the squad leader handsome?"
"Handsome!"
"Oh, that's it, laugh like that!"
"Come on, come on, the boys will go to the side first, and the girls in our class will take a group photo first!"
"Squad leader, come and take a picture with the girls in your class, come, come, come to the middle, lie down. Well, yes, that's the position, come, little beauties, pick up the corner of your bachelor's uniform, show your long legs, hey, yes, that's it! Is your squad leader ugly? β
"Ugly!"
"Come, let's take a little video of you, I say that when you run one, two, three, you will run forward together, throw the bachelor's hat as you run, the higher the better, and when you throw it, you have to say 'We graduate!' Do you remember it clearly? Come, let's demonstrate Ang, three! Two! One! Run! β
"We're graduating!"
"Well, good, let's do it again!"
β¦β¦
The bachelor's hat was thrown high, and it hurt a little when it fell and hit his head, and when he looked up at the sky, which was whitened by the sun, a sparrow flew low and rested on a plane tree in the distance, not in the dense foliage. Looking at the students chattering and talking around me, my head suddenly became in a trance, and I had the illusion that I had just stepped into the campus yesterday, and the reality was that we were about to say goodbye. The time is really strange, when I was in elementary school, I felt that the two major classes in the morning were so long, and the short ten minutes of recess were used to jump the rubber band and jump countless back and forth, when kicking the shuttlecock, the colorful shuttlecock was kicked high in the air by several girls in turn to usher in the bell of the class; It takes countless weekends to have a midterm final exam...... And now, as I get older, time is moving faster and faster, as if I took a nap on a summer afternoon, and when I opened my eyes, wow, four years of time had slipped away.
I can't say how reluctant I am, among these people in front of me, some of them have rarely sat down and said a few words for four years, and some people can't forget it for a lifetime. Sometimes I really can't understand why people have to be on the road all their lives, always meeting, and always separating. It would be great if you could choose the time period of your life, just live in that time and get along with a fixed person, and then die happily. But it doesn't seem right to think this way, maybe to be born as a human being is to go through different stages, from birth to death, from naivety to maturity, to experience all kinds of tastes, in order to be worthy of this long life. Having said that, it is really torture to force yourself to endure this pain of separation.
"Let's go, let's go to the south gate of the school to take a few photos, everyone follow up and don't go away!"
On the way to change the location to shoot, I had time to look at my phone, and when I opened my phone, I was shocked, more than a dozen WeChat messages and voices, and four Huo Heng's missed calls.
With his fingertips clicking, he hurriedly replied to Huo Heng's message, "I was just taking a graduation photo, my phone was put aside, I didn't notice your message, I'm sorry, I worried you." β
As soon as the news was sent, he received a call from Huo Heng.
"How is it, is it hard to take graduation photos?"
"It's fun, it's just a little bit sunburned. I'm sorry I didn't have my phone with me, I worried you. β
"I'm fine, just know you're safe. I know you've been busy lately because of graduation, I understand. However, there is still a small expectation, I hope that no matter how busy you are, you will miss me, even if it is only a little. β
"I've always missed you."
"Then I'll be busy, I'll call you at noon, obediently."
"Okay, I miss you."
"I miss you too."
"Ryoko, stop playing with your phone, hurry up and let the photographer take a group photo of our dormitory!"
"It's coming, it's coming!"
The picture freezes, but the faces of the four girls of different heights are filled with the same sweet smiles.
Yu Kewei's song suddenly sang in his heart: "We said that we will not separate, but we will always be together...... The naΓ―ve years can't bear to be bullied, the youth is ridiculous, I owe you ......" have lived together for four years, laughed and made trouble, and even wanted to kill each other when they quarreled, but now I feel really naΓ―ve, if she can choose, she would rather be noisy with everyone for a lifetime, but time, no one has been given the right to choose, everyone can only move forward desperately.
The graduation photos were taken from more than 7 o'clock in the morning to more than 11 o'clock in the afternoon, and the most popular shooting sites in the school were basically walked through, such as the library, classrooms, playgrounds, school gates, lotus ponds, and groves...... I almost went to the restaurant to shoot a scene of eating noodles collectively. As the weather became hotter and hotter, everyone's enthusiasm for shooting also decreased, and after the last shot, everyone changed their clothes and dispersed.
8. Class dinners
In the evening, the last dinner party organized by the class, the class leader voted early in the class group to solicit everyone's opinions, and finally finalized a Sichuan restaurant near the school. It may be because of the early reservation, not long after they arrived at the restaurant, the dishes were served one after another, at this time, it is inevitable to drink some wine, the restaurants near the university generally take the route of being affordable and close to the people, and the amount of discounts is large, so the drinks are relatively cheap, but it does not affect everyone's interest at all, a small wooden barrel is moved up with a small wooden barrel, and a cup is poured into everyone's stomach. However, looking at a table of dishes that didn't move much, Liangzi was not hypocritical, but suddenly remembered that in some unimaginable poor places, maybe there were really people who couldn't eat enough and didn't have enough clothes and warmth, and then unconsciously began to think about it.
It is said that the world is fair, but is it really fair? Some children are born with a golden soup spoon in their mouths, and some children are born in a ravine, unclothed, and have to worry about what to eat for the next meal every day. It does not mean that because the existence of the poor requires the rich to give up the right to enjoy life and do as they please, that would be another kind of injustice. Thinking about it, I feel that my brain hurts, and Liangzi can't help but sigh a little, just thinking about it, just like a table of dishes in front of him, obviously you can not order so much, and you can take it away if you can't finish eating, what a pity to throw it away like this......
Class dinner Liangzi has never been very interested, always feel that it is very awkward to sit and eat with people who don't know each other, she is a lazy person, she doesn't like to make friends everywhere, there are only a few people who can play together in the class, and the usual parties are also familiar faces, there are no hard conditions for intercourse with people, but the rejection of brothers from all over the world, tired of indifferent socialization, she draws her circle very small, never takes the initiative to take a step, unless someone tempts. But Liangzi is by no means the kind of person who spoils the fun, like this kind of last class gathering occasion still has to participate in it with interest, so everyone has been classmates for four years, isn't it just to sit together and have a meal, except for the disadvantage of having nothing to say, the others are acceptable, anyway, sitting in the crowd she doesn't speak alone and it won't seem particularly abrupt, not to mention that there are a few roommates here, so naturally you don't have to worry about losing a piece of meat.
But the atmosphere of this night was really good, everyone seemed to be warmer than usual, I don't know if it was because of the alcohol, or the atmosphere of parting was too strong, people couldn't help but say a few more words to leave a deeper impression on each other.
The person who was poured the most alcohol was naturally the squad leader, everyone seemed to have a premeditated plan, and they came to toast, but the squad leader did not everyone come to drink when they came to toast, and they inevitably had to go around the bend, and it was a blessing to escape a glass, but they couldn't escape and play tricks, and try to let the toasters drink more. From time to time, there are male classmates who come to toast Liangzi's wine, she doesn't speak much, just smiles at the visitors, a full glass of beer, looks up and drinks it all up, then sits down and pretends to eat seriously, and the visitors also walk away to find some other people to toast.
"Hey, I really clean myself for Mr. Huo, and I don't even want to say a word to my male classmates? Look at the affectionate look in the eyes of people when they look at you...... Tsk tsk. β
Yunyun whispered in her ear close to her.
"When did your alcohol consumption become so bad that you started talking nonsense after just one drink?"
She quietly took a piece of chicken from the big plate and put it on Yunyun's plate, "Eat something delicious to replenish your brain." β
Yunyun picked up the chopsticks and picked them up, only to find that it was a bone, and put down the chopsticks angrily and sent over a sharp eye knife.
"Liang Shan, look at Liangzi, you always bully me!"
"Oh? Why are you bullying you again? β
"She gave me bones!"
Liang Shan shrugged, "That's not your favorite!" β
"Forget it, asking you for help was a mistake at all, I forgot that you two were wearing a pair of pants and breathing in one nostril! Hum! I have to make a small report to Mr. Huo at this meeting, saying that you two are in cahoots!"
Liangzi blinked a pair of innocent big eyes, changed her tone, and said delicately: "Oh, people are so scared, are you afraid of Shanshan?" β
Liang Shan stroked the goosebumps on his arm, "You just didn't say anything about me, you continue to continue!" β
Wang Xiao had just come back from the bathroom at this time, and the water in her hands had not been shaken dry, so she asked curiously: "What did I miss, you three are so happy?" β
"Wang Xiao, look, there are flying saucers!"
The box suddenly became very quiet, everyone looked at Liangzi quietly, and after a few seconds, the hall burst into laughter, and everyone jokingly asked Liangzi where the UFO was, and Liangzi's face turned red all of a sudden, and he picked up the wine glass in front of him with both hands, and drank a few big sips.
"Haha, is it embarrassing?" Yunyun couldn't help but gloat.
"You're just going to be proud! Laugh off your back molars! β
Watching the classmates persuade each other to drink, I can't help but sigh again, it turns out that the school is really a condensed society, looking at the posture of prevaricating each other when persuading each other, there are really a few times the appearance of social people. In the face of this situation, Liangzi always can't help but want to retreat, it's not that he can't control the situation, he just feels that it's unnecessary, many things, there is no point in doing it at all, just like now, blindly persuading others to drink, even if he gets the other party drunk, what benefits can he get? Or is it just a matter of spiritual pleasure? But think about it, everyone's thoughts are different, just like she only drinks when she wants to get drunk, while others may think that drinking is nothing and just happy. In the final analysis, she still doesn't want to get in touch with people she doesn't know well, she is too lazy to pretend to socialize, and it makes no sense and trouble to do this kind of thing, in the final analysis, it's not because she's lazy, why do you still make so many excuses for yourself......
"It's nine o'clock, are you still eating?"
After receiving a call from Huo Heng, he hurriedly ran out of the box and came to the outside of the hotel, the entrance of the hotel is a wide parking space, there are no street lights, and the corner is relatively dim, but fortunately, there is a road opposite, and under the bright car lights, it is not as terrifying as imagined.
"Well, it's still early, everyone is playing games right now."
"Did you hear the car horn, did you come out?"
"Well, there's a lot of people in the box, and it's a little noisy."
"Don't drink too much! Eat more and drink less! β
"Got it, got it!"
"That's right, it's still early, after all, it's the last party, it's good to have a little fun, I support you! However, you shouldn't drink too much, girls will make a fool of themselves if they drink too much! The most important thing is that it's not good for the body, remember? β
"I know!"
"Do you think I'm long-winded?"
"No, you're caring about me, I know."
"Don't dislike me, maybe I'm a middle-aged man, I don't know how you young people behave now, and I don't know what you guys will do when you eat and drink, I'm afraid you'll bother me to say so much, you're a sensible little girl, you can handle these things well without me explaining them, but I don't know what's wrong, I just want to tell you a few more words, without me by your side, you have to take care of and protect yourself."
"Thank you for telling me so much, there is a person who can miss me so much, I'm very happy, what's the matter, don't let me drink with my classmates, do you want to save up and drink with you?"
"Next time I go, we'll get drunk!"
"Okay, you said it!"
"That's right! I said it! Okay, you can go in quickly, you don't have to talk to me, don't play with your phone when you eat, it's rude. Remember to eat well and don't drink too much! When you go back to the dorm, tell me I'll go back to sleep. β
"Okay. Miss you! β
"Ryoko, I miss you."
Back in the box, before his ass sat on the stool, he was caught by everyone and left the table halfway to be punished with a glass of wine, but Ryoko didn't squirm, and took a full glass of beer in front of him and drank it in one gulp. Everyone had a lot of fun, the middle table was playing cards, the back table was playing the game of "three over seven turns", and because they had a squad leader at this table, everyone just sat and chatted, recalling the big and small things they have experienced in the past four years.
I didn't think much about it when I was alone, but when we chatted, I realized that we had experienced so much together. Looking at the few roommates around me, my head was a little shaky, and there was a little excitement mixed with sadness, will I see this group of people again? I will see you again, in addition to the gratitude I have spent together for the past four years, I am also sure that we will meet again in the future.
