June 7, college entrance examination.

It had rained lightly the night before, and the hot and dry weather had become cooler.

As one of the college entrance examination centers, Changhe has a red carpet that winds all the way from the door to the entrance of the examination room. The teachers who sent the test wore red test uniforms, stood on both sides of the red carpet, and high-fived and cheered with the passing candidates.

At the same time, candidates from other schools also rushed in from the gate of Changhe School, and thousands of troops stepped over the huge banner with the words "Come on for the college entrance examination".

The usually noisy Lilac Hutong was silent on this day, and a cordon was set up at the door, and the outside of the line was crowded with waiting parents.

Zhou Luo and Bai Luofan's examination room was not in the same building, and they walked to the fork and cheered each other, and then separated.

Zhou Luo climbed upstairs and waited in the corridor for a while, and finally waited for the invigilator to open the door, and the candidates lined up and entered the examination room one by one through the scanning of the metal detector.

Zhou found a seat and sat down after falling in.

After last night, she didn't have any too nervous emotions, but when she saw the teachers with serious faces and the equally serious candidates, she was suddenly infected by this nervous emotion.

My heart was pounding.

She came in early, sat in her seat and watched the invigilator test the banned items on the later candidates, and when she was bored, she saw a familiar figure.

Bai Lu was also stunned for a moment when she saw Zhou Luo, and after looking at each other, the two girls looked away at the same time.

Zhou Luo naturally already knew about Bai Lu's Weibo, but when he saw her again, he still didn't know how to face it, and he didn't expect to meet again in the examination room.

Zhou settled down.

Exams matter.

She took a deep breath and began to settle for the exam.

In the face of the college entrance examination, everyone's nerves are tense, and time flies quickly.

The sun rises and sets, ending three years of hard study.

At 5 p.m. on June 8, the college entrance examination ended.

"At the end of the exam, please stop writing immediately......"

The silence of the school building erupted into a commotion with the sound of the end of the exam.

"I'm finally done!!"

"Graduation !!"

"Fuck the college entrance exam! Lao Tzu has finally graduated! ”

The hallway was full of students who were screaming with excitement scurrying around, venting their emotions about being tied down in the past three years of high school.

There was a commotion in the corridor, and the test papers and torn pages were discarded on the ground, and the cheers in the ears were endless.

Zhou Luo walked out slowly, I don't know which exam room's end of the exam prompt forgot to turn off, and the cold and temperatureless electronic female voice played in a loop in the corridor.

She has listened to this voice for three years, heard it countless times, and only listens to one note to know what is next. In the past, the exam teacher collected the papers very quickly, and let them go almost before the recording was played, and she never listened carefully.

This time, Zhou Luo walked from this end of the corridor to the staircase at the end, slowly descending the stairs, and listening to every word of this recording.

This is the last time I'll hear it, the college entrance examination is over.

There was no excitement and excitement as she imagined, but a sense of loss that seemed ridiculous to her.

……

Before the exam, Xu Gan said that everyone was invited to dinner after the exam, and everyone made an appointment to gather at the school gate. The boys packed up their things and went to the door one after another.

They stopped, turned around, and looked at the school gate in unison.

From this point of view, the layers of banners are just completely exposed in front of everyone's eyes.

"May the moment you close the lid of your pen, with the pride of a warrior putting his sword into its sheath."

"Peking University Tsinghua Youth Heart, Flowers and Birds Speak in Spring."

……

Zhou Luo remembered that the day she entered the school was the same, she and Bai Luofan stood in this position, looking up at the panoramic view of Changhe. She remembers the banner that day read: Welcome new classmates!

Now, three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and they have become the last class of students who can do everything in the mouths of the teachers.

The sun was setting, and the teenagers looked at each other silently, and they looked at each other and smiled when they saw that each other's eyes were shining with tears.

Goodbye, Changhe.

Goodbye, youth.

Goodbye, my eighteen.

"Where's Jingjing?" With emotion, Zhou Luo looked around and found that Lin Jingjing was not there, and they said that they would leave together after the exam.

Meng Xiangting said: "Oh, she made a phone call just now, and then left in a panic, maybe there was something." ”

Zhou Luo nodded.

Bai Luofan grabbed her wrist: "Let's go, Mr. Xu has booked a private room, wait for us to go." ”

"Let's go."

*

In a private room.

The boys drank shoulder to shoulder, while the girls got together to talk and laugh, holding a pen and putting each other's names on each other's uniforms.

Zhou Luo was writing on a girl's clothes, and the sofa next to him suddenly sank down. She turned her head and met Bai Lu's gaze.

Zhou Luo's hand paused for a moment, and then neatly completed the signature. Buckle up the cap and sit up straight on the couch.

"Long time no see."

"Well, long time no see."

Bai Lu decided to learn dance that summer after she went to a training institution, and spent a year outside. Normally, art students would come back in the late third year of high school to cram for cultural classes, but Bai Lu didn't come back either.

The two girls were silent at the same time, Zhou Luo felt a little embarrassed, and his eyes fell on the can on the table. As if grasping at a life-saving straw, she took the can, opened it and took a sip.

It tastes a little strange, sweet and sour, but it doesn't taste like juice.

Zhou Luo looked carefully at the bottles in his hand, all of them were in foreign languages.

"Actually, I want to apologize to you."

Bai Lu's voice came from her ears, interrupting her thoughts, Zhou Luo looked at her, and she continued: "I was angry before I left, and I said something very excessive to you...... Actually, I regretted it when I calmed down later, I shouldn't have taken my anger on you, but I just couldn't pull this face off at the time. But now that I've graduated, if I don't talk about it, I won't have a chance to say it. ”

"I'm sorry, Luoluo, can you ...... Forgive me? ”

Zhou Luo held her hand and smiled, "I actually forgave you a long time ago, and I also saw the Weibo you posted, thank you for speaking for him." ”

Bai Lu knew how bad she was to Zhou Luo before, she felt that if the roles were reversed, she would have to sneer at the other party, but she didn't expect Zhou Luo to reconcile with her so easily.

She was already ready to be scolded, but now Zhou Luo is so good at talking, which makes her a little embarrassed.

"I also understood later, many of those things were deliberately guided by the family, and it had nothing to do with him, I helped him this time, and it can be regarded as a complete farewell to him." Bai Lu's hand covered Zhou Luo's hand holding her, the lights in the box were very dim, someone was singing, and the light of the screen hit her face, flickering and dimming.

"After this year's intensive training, I realized that there are so many more interesting things in this world than chasing stars. Dancing is far more fun than staring at the stars every day. Bai Lu said.

Zhou Luo laughed, "It looks like you've found your way, congratulations." ”

"Thank you, I wish you the best of luck in the school you like." Bai Lu smiled brightly, raised the wine bottle in his hand and touched Zhou Luo's, "Then I wish us a happy graduation!" ”

Then he drank the whole bottle of wine to himself.

Zhou Luo saw that she was drinking happily, and he also drank the can of "juice" in his hand.

Three rounds of drinking.

The boys were all drunk, and only Bai Luofan seemed to be relatively sober. He didn't dare to get drunk, because he had to send Zhou Luo home later.

He looked in the direction of Zhou Luo.

The girl didn't know how much she had drunk, her face was already red, and she was still staggering and pulling people to sign her school uniform.

Xu Gan was poured a lot by a group of boys, and in the end, his eyes were red and he began to sensationalize.

"You little ghosts, you usually know that you are wild, sleeping, and talking in my class, do you think I didn't see it? At first, I also wanted to take care of you with the teacher's shelf, but then I thought about it, forget it, I also came from you at this time......"

As he spoke, he choked up and wiped a handful on his face, "You can survive these three years, but I still have to meet one three years after another here." Congratulations, little ghosts, you've finally grown up, hahaha. ”

"You're the worst class I've ever had!"

Sure enough, he drank too much, and everyone knew that Xu Gan had only taken their students in their entirety, where did they come from.

Xu Gan didn't let go of the wine bottle, he was so drunk that he collapsed on the sofa and couldn't get up, but he was still babbling something in his mouth.

The private room suddenly fell silent, and only his voice was left.

"After graduation, remember to come back often...... Changhe is also your home......"

Listen, drunk, not drunk, everyone present had red eyes.

I don't know who cried first, but the sobs in the box came one after another, overshadowing the shrill cicadas in June.

The end of youth is a farewell, and we will eventually face the wind and bravely move to the next site. There will always be people who are separated in the process, but as long as they say goodbye well, they will still stay in their hearts.
