Time knows

In my senior year, I learned that Shao Yang had returned to Tingnan after dropping out of F University, and had dragged his family to work in a bank. When I heard the news, I felt like my heart was bombarded by something in an instant, and it completely exploded. After skipping class, I bought the nearest train ticket back to Tingnan.

After getting off the train, I went straight to the bank, but I squatted in front of the bank for four hours and still didn't dare to enter. Although I know that I was really cowardly during these four hours, I have been cowardly for seven years. I've had a crush on Shaoyang for seven years.

Squatting outside the bank, waiting until the bank closed, when their employees were off work, I hid behind a large trash can, carefully observing everyone who came out. This one isn't, that one isn't. Shaoyang! I saw him, it's him, I won't admit it, it must be him! I clutched my chest with my hands, because my heart was beating so hard that I was afraid that the fawn in me would die if I continued to run into it like this, so I tried to breathe heavily and calm myself.

What came out with him was a female colleague, they talked and laughed, the girl was very beautiful, with long flowing hair, a slender figure, a fair complexion, big eyes and black eyebrows. I panicked, did he have a girlfriend? In an instant, the fawn that was still bumping into my heart just now was also stunned like me. My mind went blank.

watched Shao Yang walk down the steps step by step, and walked step by step to a white Chevrolet Malibu, then took out the key to open the door and sat in the car, driving the white Malibu and walking alone. I just remembered to breathe, and my chest couldn't hold it. Turning his gaze back, he turned to the girl just now, her position was already very close to the trash can, and he looked at it intently, and suddenly felt that her face was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't think of it for a while. After Shao Yang left, she walked to another male colleague, then took his arm, and the two of them left affectionately and happily. It turned out that she was not Shao Yang's girlfriend.

After they all left, after some careful research and examination around the bank, I decided to give up the employment opportunities in Jiangcheng recommended by the professor to go back to work in Tingnan, and be admitted to the IRS opposite the bank.

This decision led me to a battle for a seat in the library every morning. As soon as the alarm went off, I got up with a "whoosh", went to the water room with the basin to wash my face and brush my teeth, and then rushed to the cafeteria with lightning speed, hurriedly ate breakfast, and then ran to the entrance of the library at a speed of 800 meters to line up. Needless to say, I was definitely at the top of the list! When the library opened at eight o'clock, I would sit for four hours at eight o'clock, then go to lunch, and then run back to the library, and sit again until ten o'clock in the evening. The girls in my dormitory nicknamed me "The Library's Giant Clock"!

Of course, they naturally don't understand how willing I am to make this 10,000-year-old giant clock, I study hard every day, I never feel hard, more often, I am beautiful. Even when I dream at night, I will dream of the common sense knowledge of the test, and then by the way, I will memorize it vigorously in my dreams. Because I know that there is a person in the bank opposite the Tingnan State Taxation Bureau, and his name is Shao Yang. Since childhood, some people's dreams are to be pilots, astronauts, doctors, hosts, actors, and bosses...... And my dream is Shaoyang. I even laugh out loud when I think about him.

After two months of hard work, I finally got the opportunity to interview with a score 29 points higher than the baseline. Under the interview training demonstrated by my father, I successfully entered the IRS.

Although my parents didn't know the real reason why I returned to work in Tingnan, I was overjoyed to give up my job in Jiangcheng and return to a second-tier city to stay by their side.

On the day of graduation, many students stood at Gate F with their suitcases and refused to leave for a long time. They all have their own stories to stay here, in the four years of youth. I'm the same, and I'm not a sentimental person, but F Big means something to me differently than anyone else. Once, I was admitted here because Shao Yang was here, and I hid a secret here that I never told him. I looked up at the gate of F University, I Lu Xiaolu is leaving, I want to return to Tingnan, this time I will run to Shaoyang, to open a story of Lu Xiaolu's chasing love, and then I will write it into a book of chasing love for future generations to refer to. Turning around, striding forward,

I walked so obsessively, as if the place I went to was my paradise. After reporting to the IRS, I quickly tied up a ponytail and put on my uniform, and my whole body was instantly refreshed. According to the annual practice, newly hired tax cadres must work in the tax service department, which is the most basic level of taxation. I sat at the counter of the tax service hall, looking through the big floor-to-ceiling glass to see the glass window of the bank across the road, I thought Shaoyang, what are you doing at this moment? Did you bring a little apprentice like my master took me?

I was assigned to a young master named Lan Lan as an apprentice to learn business. Lan Lan is four years older than me, graduated from graduate school, has been working here for two years, and is an expectant mother who is four months pregnant. At first, when I opened my mouth to call her master, she felt a little embarrassed. I think it's good, when she's embarrassed, she smiles very shyly, and the corners of her mouth show two small dimples the size of rice grains, and I really want to use chopsticks to pestle her dimples bigger.

At lunchtime, Lan Lan asked, "Did I tell you about the personnel department asking you to apply for a salary card?"

"Nope." I replied simply and crisply. Really, Lan Lan always suddenly remembered something and asked me, "Did I tell you anything?" "I'm starting to get used to the way she speaks.

"Hey...... It's been a stupid three years of pregnancy! I've found that I've been forgetting what I've said lately. ”

"What salary card?" I'd better ask first, or she'll forget about it later.

?“ Oh! It is to pay you a salary card, go to the bank to get one, and then report the account number to the personnel department, and then you can directly punch in the salary punch card in the future. ”

"What bank?" As soon as I heard about the bank, I was a little excited, and I felt that the deer in my heart suddenly jumped.

"Let's just go to the bank across the street."

I think the fawn in me started to laugh after hearing this.

"yes, okay." Then I began to eat in large gulps, pretending to be calm, and trying to calm the fawn in me as much as possible.

Actually, I'm crazy in my heart! What a justifiable reason to step into their bank! What a wonderful opportunity to get up close and personal!

After washing my hair, drying it with a hair dryer, I began to curl my hair with a curling iron, and it took more than an hour to finally turn all my straight hair into curls, put down my sore arms, and couldn't help but sigh: People like me who have a lot of hair should not go to the barber shop to perm their hair in the future, so as not to tire the barber!

After curling my hair, I started to put on makeup, the eyeliner was thicker so that the eyes were bigger, the eyebrows were darker to match the eyeliner, and the lip gloss was pink. I stood in front of the mirror and looked at myself with makeup, and I didn't know if I didn't know how to put on makeup.

I still perm my hair like this, how awkward I look at myself, and I feel as if I am eight years older than myself in reality.

So I started to remove my makeup and wash my face, and after washing my face, I looked in the mirror again, and it was still awkward, maybe this hair was not very qualified, and then I started to wash my hair again, and then blow dry. Tossed and turned, but returned to the way it was. Looking at the watch, if you don't leave, you won't be in a hurry, I thought about it, I still don't make trouble, and quickly changed my clothes and went out.

But the change of clothes stumped me again! It took a long time to choose a light green skirt with a very fine yarn and a sparkling lace on it. took a look in front of the mirror, and sure enough, Zhang Teng's vision was better, and the skirt he gave was still relatively good-looking.

I walked into the door of the bank, my waist straight, but my steps were a little timid. I really wanted to scan the entire bank with my eyes to see which window Shao Yang was sitting at to accept business, but I was so nervous, so nervous that I didn't seem to know what to do, I didn't dare to raise my eyes, I didn't dare to look far away, and I didn't dare to sweep everyone to find him.

At this time, there was a number machine in front of me, I ran over quickly, poked the number machine and took five or six numbers in a row, I suddenly realized that all the numbers in my hand are continuous, if the person who called my number is not Shaoyang, I don't go to handle the business, then that person will continue to call until someone goes to handle the business. If he called all the numbers in my hand, and Shaoyang still didn't start calling the numbers, then it would be impossible for me to go to Shaoyang's window to handle business.

I found a corner and sat down, thinking about what to do. Although it is located in the corner, I can see the whole situation at a glance, and through the glass window of the counter, I can see Shaoyang at a glance, window eight! At this time, someone happened to enter the door and walked to the number machine to get a number paper, I quickly ran over, after he took the number, I took another number paper, so every other person I took a number paper, after a few times, the security guard in the lobby found my strange behavior, and walked to me.

"What kind of business?"

"Get a one-line card, open an account, run an online bank, and run a ......" I told all the little knowledge I had about banking.

"Just take a number, you can do it in one window." The security guard was about to reach out and snatch the number paper in my hand as he spoke.

I quickly put my hands behind my back, "I...... In a while, I have other friends who are also coming, and they asked me to help them get the number first, and they will come right away. ”

With that, I ran away.

I went back to the corner and looked at Shao Yang sitting in the window of No. 8, and the original excitement in my heart disappeared, replaced by nervousness. I was thinking about how I should walk up to him, sit in front of him, and tell him, Shaoyang, I've liked you for seven years.

I will always remember the first time I met him was in the fall athletic meeting of my freshman year of high school, when I signed up for the 1,500-meter race. At that time, I was already a little nearsighted with 125 degrees in both my left and right eyes. Before the start, I took off my glasses, on the starting line to do preparatory activities, I felt that the coat on my body was too big to run and start to the resistance will be great, so I decided to take off the coat, just when I was about to take off the coat, the referee suddenly shouted to prepare, I did not expect a cold panic, turned around to find Zhang Teng's figure, wanted to throw the coat to him, but because of myopia, five meters away from people and animals, I saw a person who seemed to be Zhang Teng's figure, threw the coat to him, and said: "Next." Then he heard the starting gunshots.

1,500 meters, I'm running with my life! I knew that I was the first to sprint to the finish line and finish second for a few seconds. But even if it's Peter Pan, he shouldn't have the strength to go down this 1,500 meters. I hunched over my hands on my legs, panting hard.

"I didn't expect you to be so powerful! Congratulations on running first place. ”

I heard a particularly unfamiliar voice, and I tried to look up, and found an unusually beautiful face, and he was holding my coat in his hand. Struggling to stand up straight, he raised his head slightly to see his face, his eyebrows, his eyes, his lips, his sunny smile. At that moment, I felt that there was light shining on him, the light was not dazzling, it was very warm and kind. I don't know if it's because I just ran 1,500 meters or something else, but my face is so hot that my heart is about to pop out.

I had just opened my mouth wide because I was panting, and the moment I saw the light, I suddenly realized how ugly my flower-like teeth were, and instantly covered my mouth with my hand and looked at him blankly.

"The coat will be returned to you."

He gently slipped his coat into my hand and turned away, and I was stunned before I could say a word of thanks.

When I came home that night, I cried and begged my mom to take me to get my teeth straight, and a week later I was a braces girl.

After the number I was holding in my hand was called a few times, the number eight window finally began to be called. "Please 1159 to window eight, please number 1159 to window eight."

I got up from the corner, and at the moment of standing up, my feet began to tremble, and I walked step by step to window eight, and when I sat down across from him and handed him the number paper in my hand through the small window, I found that the number paper was completely soaked with the sweat on my hands, and it was wrinkled.

"Hello! What do you do? ”

It's been three years, and the last time I saw him was three years ago, and he looked the same as three years ago, but he was a little more immature than before, and he was more determined about life. He has very white skin, a very clean face, black eyebrows are thick but not messy, and under the double eyelids are a pair of bright and clear eyes, which seem to be smiling all the time, reminding you of a clear clear sky, with a high nose, thin lips, and a slightly baby fat in the contour of his face, which makes him look like a young young man who has not yet been in the world.

"Hello! What kind of business do you do? ”

"Oh," I realized that I had been sitting there looking at him for a long time, "and I wanted to get a bank card." ”

"Give me your ID."

Doesn't he remember me? Is he not impressed with me at all? I watched him sit at the computer for a while, then picked up my ID card and looked up at my face, and for a moment his gaze froze.

"Did you graduate from F University?"

"yes, F big." He remembered me, and I nodded excitedly, "I'm two years younger than you, my name is Lu Xiaolu, and we met at the freshman party." ”

Am I getting a little excited?

After that, I expected him to say something more, so that I could continue to talk to him, but he said nothing more, but smiled, and the smile was not to me, but to smile to himself. After a while, he handed me the bank card and ID card.

"Is there anything else I need to do for you?"

"Huh?"

"Is there anything else I can do to help you?"

The word "you" froze my excitement with a layer of frost.

I thought about it for three years, and for three years I still didn't understand why Shao Yang suddenly disappeared in his senior year, and there was no news of him in the whole school. He just wanted to evaporate from the world, he didn't ask for leave or leave of absence, he just disappeared, and in the end, F University could only deal with it as a result of dropping out. He used to be so good, he had excellent grades, he was the president of the student union, he played the guitar well, he won dozens of debate competitions on behalf of the school, many of which were English debate competitions, he participated in many commercial sand table simulation competitions, and won many championships. He had the brightest light and was the brightest star in F Day. I don't understand what made him give up his studies and leave Jiangcheng, and what made him here.
