"Boom!"

The loud noise was filled with a certain sense of warning.

Fireworks burst out in the sky, shattering into strands of glittering silver threads. After a while, it was swallowed up by the thick night.

The surroundings are still bustling and crowded. Xu Mengzhou's head went blank, allowing the noisy crowd to squeeze abruptly around him.

He didn't have time to think at all, so he subconsciously withdrew his hand.

"Teacher, look here! I'm coming for you! ”

The voice didn't go away, but approached quickly.

Xu Mengzhou didn't know how to react. The hand that was clasped with Lin Yushan's ten fingers was weakly grasping, his back was stiff and he was looking straight ahead, and he didn't even hold his breath unconsciously, as if he had been poked in a dead hole.

In just three seconds, the boy's voice had already fallen in his ears.

In the past, when he greeted the students, he always gave them a calm smile. But now, he felt extremely embarrassed.

He finally understood that the hurdle in his heart was not something that could be easily crossed.

He wanted to be a "good teacher" so badly.

At this time, the boy quickly passed over him, and the voice instantly became farther and farther away.

Xu Mengzhou was a little stunned, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he finally figured out that the other party was not calling himself.

He finally caught his breath again, and turned to look in the direction the boy had run.

"Teacher! It's been a long time since you were old, why did you see me! ”

The boy made his way through the crowd and came to a stop in front of a young couple on the edge of the bridge.

When the man in the couple saw him, he smiled and patted the boy on the shoulder, and the two talked to each other, and the woman next to him held the baby less than a year old in her arms. After the boy said a few words to the man, he went to tease the baby in the woman's arms, pinching the baby's soft little hand and waving it.

Looking at their happy faces, the neon reflected in Xu Mengzhou's eyes changed and changed.

The man... I think he is a teacher who is very popular with students. Not only that, but his family seems to be happy as well.

He may not even realize that he is actually yearning for a happy family.

Lin Yushan followed Xu Mengzhou's line of sight, and returned to his face for a moment, his eyes full of loneliness.

Xu Mengzhou looked up and looked over there intently, not paying attention to himself. The residual warmth of his fingers had long been carried away by the cool breeze of the night.

Lin Yushan put his fingers together, but didn't catch anything.

In fact, the sudden sound of the "teacher" just now also made her nervous.

Xu Mengzhou's divorce has only been a few months, and if someone he knows in his social circle sees the two of them holding hands, it may add unnecessary trouble to him.

She's always been cautious and thoughtful, and of course she understands that.

But the man's hand that let go in an instant still pierced his heart.

Xu Mengzhou finally came back to his senses, and his expression returned to calm. He lowered his head slightly to meet Lin Yushan's gaze.

“… I'm sorry" The man's eyes darkened, and he pulled the corners of his lips to say something, but the unobstructed loss in the girl's eyes made him feel guilty.

Lin Yushan's eyes were sore, he lowered his head slightly, and rubbed his palms where no one was paying attention, "No... Needless to say, I'm sorry, I understand. ”

After being silent for a long time, she suddenly raised her head, stared at Xu Mengzhou with a pair of watery eyes, and bloomed a relieved smile that seemed to be self-comforting.

It's been four years, so what's the point of having more?

"I'll wait until the day when you let go of your knots completely."

Xu Mengzhou heard the girl's voice clear and calm, but her eyes were shining.

She is obviously only nineteen years old, which is the age when she is full of fantasies about love, why did she like herself......

Because of her own concerns, she has never walked in the sun wantonly with her lover's arm like girls of the same age, enjoying the beauty of love.

Xu Mengzhou's chest was blocked for a while, and he groped to hold her hand again.

"Teacher Xu, let's go back, it's already past ten o'clock. Tomorrow you go to work, and I start school. Today we all had a good night's sleep. Lin Yushan smiled and patted the man's arm as if he was fine, and passed past him.

She walked straight ahead. The man shook the air and stood still for a moment, then turned to follow her.

On the way home, the two didn't say anything all the way.

When they arrived at the door, they just returned to two different spaces on the same floor.

After Lin Yushan finished washing, she lost her mind at the moonlight outside the window for a long time, and she didn't want to think about it anymore. Sleepiness crawled all over his body, and he closed the curtains and fell asleep.

-----

On 1 September, the opening of the school year in Jingzhou City arrived as scheduled.

Moving out of the Xingyuan community did not dilute the friendship between Lin Yushan and Yao Qing. They were still inseparable at school as usual, except for classes, the two of them occasionally rested in the small dormitory on the first floor of Lin Yushan at noon.

Officially entering the senior year, the classes become even less. For a full week at the beginning of the school year, the school only arranged five classes.

With that came a change in the classmates.

In the old classroom, you can still see a few gags and social people. But now, when the teacher takes the roll call, the number of people who listen to the class is gradually decreasing, and the students in the classroom who insist on listening to the class seem to be very urgent and more serious than before.

This is the final year of undergraduate studies. During the year, different people will make different plans for themselves.

Those who insist on staying in the ivory tower of the school and fighting often continue to study in graduate school. And those who move out of school early are likely to have started their internship life in the company and entered the society early.

Lin Yushan sat quietly in the library, staring intently at the mock paper on the table that had just finished answering the answers, and put down the pen a little heavily.

Although it is not a problem to be admitted to the graduate school with the current score, her goal has always been South China University of Technology, where her father taught and Xu Mengzhou studied.

But this time, the paper score seems to be lower than the previous mock exams. If she can't be admitted to South China University of Technology and is admitted to this school, the postgraduate entrance examination will basically lose its meaning to her.

So much had happened during this time, and she had too many distractions in her mind.

Never mind.

The golden sunset is reflected through the glass into the library. Lin Yushan was squinted by the light, she packed up the study materials and put them in her backpack, waited for Yao Qing to find her in the library after class, and the two went to Yao Qing's place to have dinner together and then returned to Huachen Mansion.

Xu Mengzhou has been very busy since the start of school. Unlike the previous shifts, the head teacher must be present every morning and evening. It is not uncommon to leave the house before dawn in the morning and return home after 11 o'clock in the evening.

Lin Yushan knew that Xu Mengzhou was busy. Even though they live next door to each other, the two of them don't see each other much during this time, and they only talk to each other.

However, the man will still call her and send her WeChat messages in his busy schedule. The two of them don't see each other, but just pass warm words of encouragement to each other.

The mobile phone vibrate, it was Yao Qing's call. Lin Yushan responded while picking up his backpack and going downstairs.

The two of them held hands and walked slowly towards the school gate. When passing by the basketball court, Yao Qing was attracted by a burst of cheers, so she pulled Lin Yushan over to watch the excitement.

The basketball court is surrounded by high barbed wire, and the entrance is closed, so people outside cannot enter it temporarily. Yao Qing could only pull the barbed wire with one hand, and pull Lin Yushan with the other hand to find the best position with the best view.

The two of them stood on a relatively high platform, close to the barbed wire fence to get a glimpse of what was going on.

On the pitch, the two teams are battling it out. The students wearing camouflage uniforms sat around in twos and threes, and at a glance they could see at a glance that they were freshmen who were undergoing military training this year.

Yao Qing stretched her neck and tried to look around, her eyes moved with the basketball, and then her eyes lit up, and she pointed ahead and said, "Yushan, look at him!" That freshman is so handsome! No wonder the girl next to him cheered him on. ”

Lin Yushan looked in the direction of Yao Qing's finger, and one of the tall boys was particularly conspicuous. The man has an inch head, but his delicate face covers the rigidity of the inch head, which shows that he is full of tenacity.

Since they were all wearing the same camouflage uniforms, she couldn't tell which team he was from.

My ears were filled with the cheers of girls and the shy chatter. Lin Yushan silently observed the boy's movements and frowned unconsciously.

Even though she doesn't know anything about basketball, she knows that basketball is a sport that requires multiple people to work together.

But the person in front of him is "doing it himself" in every link - he neither passes the ball nor cooperates with his teammates, he only knows how to attack blindly with all his strength, even if his teammates signal him to ignore it.

Is this a new style of play? Lin Yushan muttered in his heart.

There was a discussion between two boys in my ears, and my attention was instantly attracted by the conversation.

"Who is this man? Your class? ”

"You don't even know Xin Zhi? He's a celebrity in our class, haha! ”

"Shhhh Why is this man pretending to be like this? I haven't seen anyone play basketball on their own. ”

"Then you're not going to see you today. He just deceived girls who didn't know how to basketball... Look at the girls next to you, aren't they all looking at him? I thought he was playing well in SoLo! ”

"Convinced! Who is a normal person who plays like him, does he have a bit of a problem with his brain? If I were his teammate, I'd start scolding now. ”

"Don't tell me, he really seems a little abnormal. I heard that his family is so poor that he can't afford to pay his tuition, and his mother is almost forty years old and still working as a young lady. On the day he came to report to school, his mother was dressed like a dirty and sassy person, so he stopped his own mother from entering the dormitory, and had a big fight in front of his roommates......"

"Tsk... Is it so weird? ”

……

Lin Yushan listened carefully, showing disdain to the two boys who were discussing.

The boy's way of playing was really weird. Even so, it doesn't involve other people's privacy.

She didn't know if what the two men said was true or not. But she herself suffers from rumors, and she can best understand what it's like to be rumored by others.

It's clear that they are not familiar with each other, but they prefer to tell someone's "story" vividly, and label the person who is being discussed.

She really hated this kind of behavior.

These discussions also fell into Yao Qing's ears. Yao Qing saw that her expression was abnormal, and she was afraid that her low mood would affect her condition, so she hurriedly pulled her sleeve.

"It's getting late, let's go back."

Lin Yushan glanced at the young man on the court again, and turned to leave.

As soon as he took a few steps, there was a sudden exclamation from behind.

"What the hell is he?! Xin Zhi, what do you mean? If you don't know how to play, get out of here! I've been putting up with you for a long time! ”
