Verse 21: There was no reason for the beginning of the matter
Melly wrapped her ELLE long-sleeved casual shirt slightly, rearranged the shirt that covered her knees, yawned, and rubbed the corners of her eyes with the knuckle of her left hand, her eyes already revealing sleepiness. I turned my head to look at the clock made from car tires hanging on the wall on the side, and it was already 5:50 in the morning! Our chat lasted all night! Then I asked her if she was sleepy, and she said that it was the first time she had talked to someone all night, and that she was a little sleepy now, but she wanted to keep talking. I said that there will be a chance in the future, let's go back and rest first, anyway, I have a lot of free time, and bad sleep will make the girl's skin rough, Melly laughed after hearing this, and said okay!
Coming out of the small bar, the morning glow was already reflected outside, and it was a sunny morning in the early summer of Changchun. In the early morning of summer in the area of Jingyuetan, the air is cool and fresh. The morning glow pours into the far reaches of the sight, and the teaching buildings, libraries, dormitory buildings, canteens, and poplar trees on the side of the road on the Jingyue Campus are all exceptionally fresh and full of vitality! The scene is like Seurat's neo-impressionist paintings, all the colors of the scenery as far as the eye can see are made up of various points of light, and the look at the past makes people feel happy and dreamy.
The sun shone behind me on the way back to school, and Melly's hair shone brightly in the sunlight. In the distance, the hands of the bell tower, which stood tall above the teaching building of the School of Business Administration, pointed to six o'clock, and the bell sounded like a lonely cry, calling in vain to return to the place where the lost time had been lost; The clock tower in this early morning is like a watchman of time!
From the small bar to the school dormitory, it takes about ten minutes to walk. At this time, Melly didn't seem to have recovered from the chill. So I handed her the red and black plaid shirt over my shoulders and let her drape it over my body. She took the shirt, and we smiled in return, as if we were back to the days before this all-night talk. We walked through the school gate, into the early morning campus with few people, to a small square with a fountain in front of us, then turned right past the School of Business Administration, the preparatory school for studying in Japan, the cafeteria, and then passed two corners, turned around the freshman dormitory, and walked straight to the dormitory where she lived. Along the way, we always kept a distance of about 50 centimeters side by side, and we didn't say a word, just walked forward in silence. As we passed by the Preparatory School, five boys who were jogging in the morning passed by and kept looking at us as if we were freshmen.
When I got to the atrium in the middle of the dormitory, Melly gave me back her shirt and thanked me, I took it and smiled and waved my hand, signaling her to go back to rest.
"Say hello to the kitten on my behalf!"
"Okay!"
I stood there and watched her walk towards the corner at the end of the corridor, and as she was about to reach the corner, she turned around again and beckoned to me, as if to say "goodbye!" I waved in response. Her figure then vanished at the end of the corridor. I turned and walked to the other end of the corridor, and a wave of fatigue began to set in.
As I went upstairs, I thought that I wasn't here to go on a date with Melly, it was a completely accidental encounter. I had already moved out of my dorm in late May after my dissertation defense, found a place in the city, and was busy with my daily work. Yesterday back to school, is going to go through the procedures for exiting the dormitory, but because of the rush to the school, the time is wrong, failed to find the management staff, had to go to the library to read a book for a while, next to dinner time, went to the cafeteria to eat a familiar taste of dinner, came out to take the 160 bus back to the city, when passing through the School of Business Administration, I happened to meet the lonely Melly, on the habitual hello, I didn't think much at that time, but planned to continue to rush to the bus stop, Then Melly suddenly said to me from behind, "Let's go to the little bar and sit down!" So we talked all night.
Since the concert in my junior year until I moved out of the dormitory, I have never seen her walk on the campus with Lin Jun, and although Lin Jun's luggage has not been moved, she has already left the school to go to the south after completing the thesis defense, and only moved out of the dormitory when she returns. What was the reason for their separation, I didn't ask Linjun, and even as a close friend, I didn't want to get to the bottom of it. As for why Melly had such a proposal at that time, what she wanted to talk to me about, or what questions she was going to ask me, I didn't think about it, I couldn't think about it, and there was no reason for it from the beginning.
