Youth never fades, never ends

(Small Theater) Airplane ~ Moon

Gifts given during school days really are, no matter how high or low the price is, they carry the thought behind them.

Airplanes are free, soaring through the sky. Some say they symbolize love, and a crystal plane, perhaps, represents pure, flawless, and sincere emotion. In the years of youth, in the midst of innocence, the purest expression of emotion, though subtle, embodies the heartfelt feelings of a young woman. While we must learn now, the possibilities for our future are endless.

Happy birthday to you."

Between people, the deepest thing is the bond, and the heaviest thing is love.

"Oh, don't worry. Except for high school, when have I ever worried you? Believe me, I really just don't like studying for a master's degree. I want to see the outside world, I want to see how high the sky is and how vast the sea is. I want to experience a life that I have never experienced before. I, Lan Qiyue, want to live up to this journey and have no regrets in this life." Qi Yue described it seriously and in a serious manner.

Experience. This might be the first time Qi Yue used this word in a formal conversation. Even Qi Yue herself didn’t expect that this word would run through her life for the next few decades.

"Qi Yue, why are you still sitting here like an idiot? Come on, come on, the people in the next dormitory are challenging us. Today we have to fight them until we are drunk. Let's see who can get the drunkest." Qi Yue came back to her senses after hearing her second sister's voice.

"Second sister, drink less. You've had a few too many."

"Qi Yue, let her drink. It's rare for her to indulge herself. We've suffered so much during this period." The dormitory head said as he made a crying gesture and clinked glasses of wine with the second sister, finishing the glass.

Qi Yue looked at her elder sister who was eating attentively and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it.

Just then, the eldest sister looked at Qiyue, stood up, picked up a pig's trotter for Qiyue, and said, "The pig's trotters from Ruoshuizhibin are still so delicious. Qiyue, hurry up and have one to replenish your collagen. You've been lacking it lately."

"Sister, go slow. It's already seven o'clock. Eat less. You won't be able to sleep well."

The eldest sister shook her head, stuffed another chicken wing into her mouth and said, "I won't sleep tonight. I want to sing the dancer's tears all night long and express all my recent sorrow and misery."

"Isn't that the dorm leader's bedtime song? Even if you didn't request it, it's a routine. These three are so adorable that it makes me speechless. No matter what, I love them."

Fang Feifan: "Qiyue Qiyue, come take a photo, hurry up, we have professional equipment borrowed from the campus network, and I will beautify your photos later, so that you can all look like celestial beings."

"Okay, okay, Brother Dafei, I'm coming right away."

Qi Yue walked quickly and happily and joined the 11th grade Art 2 class which belonged to 27 people alone.

"Four years have passed, and university is about to end. Looking at my classmates toasting each other now, and thinking about the past four years, it turns out that time is really ruthless. It never waits for you, nor does it give you time to prepare. Unconsciously, we have grown up. People from all corners of the world gather here, from strangers to familiar people, there have been disagreements and quarrels, but this moment, this scene, is no longer so important to everyone present. What is important is that the four years of feelings are real, and the four years of dependence and companionship are unforgettable. Chunxi City, I don’t know when we will see each other again. Chunxi University, my alma mater, we say goodbye now, and there is really a long way to go."

"This time, I won't say goodbye. As I said before, as long as we stay young, we will never part ways."

For art students, the happiest thing is to wear headphones, hold a paintbrush, and immerse themselves in their own colorful world. At this moment, sound and beauty coexist.

I'm afraid I won't have the chance to say goodbye to you, because I might never see you again...

"Zhang Zhenyue's farewell is really appropriate, but do we really have to say goodbye like this? Wouldn't it be sad?" Qi Yue asked puzzledly.

Second sister: "It's okay. I just want to be different. In the world of art, you don't need to understand, you just need to be unique. In northern dialect, we call it 'gelu'. Do you understand?"

The other three nodded in unison, as if they had received some kind of professional training, so that even their movements were exactly the same.

The second sister checked her watch, then stood up, cleared her throat, and said, "Okay, time's up. Are you all ready?"

After getting the affirmative answer from the three people: "Go downstairs and send my eldest sister off."

With this momentum, those who didn't know would think that the elder sister had made a big mistake, causing the people in the neighboring dormitories to look inside.

But Qiyue and her roommates were really used to this kind of situation, and they didn't think it was embarrassing at all; they'd gotten used to it and it became natural. Because, their roommates were all really eccentric, just the right amount of eccentric, never caring about the opinions of others, let alone what others said. They just focused on themselves, amusing themselves, admiring themselves, and being intoxicated. And they were incredibly beautiful. Their main characteristic was confidence, super confidence.

In the dormitory, the eldest sister was the first to leave and the first to see me off. From the way downstairs to the school gate, they talked, laughed, and played around, as if they were just going home for the winter or summer vacation. But it was not until the moment the eldest sister got on the car that I realized that this time seemed to be really different.

The second sister has the best relationship with the eldest sister. Because Qiyue stays in bed and the dormitory head is slow, they both go to class on time. Usually, the eldest sister and the second sister go to buy breakfast early and stand for their seats. During the four years in college, they have quarreled and made noises, but they have never really disliked each other. They have stumbled through four years of laughter and anger.

After a goodbye hug, my older sister, afraid of losing control of her emotions, quickly got in a taxi. Because only by pretending well can we avoid the sadness of parting. Truly, reunion is always joyful, but parting is also sad. All good things must come to an end. We've understood the meaning of this saying since elementary school. Parting is also a compulsory lesson in our lives.

The moment the eldest sister's car drove away, the second sister's tears burst out like a floodgate. Even in the many breakups she'd experienced, Qi Yue had never seen her so sad. She patted the second sister's shoulder, and the second sister fell on Qi Yue's body, weeping all over her. The dorm leader had seen a lot of things, after all, and thought she was controlling herself well. Who knew, the moment she turned around, Qi Yue almost wanted to hit her. How could those eyelashes, eyeliner, and eyeshadow be so strangely painted? If this were a game of escape room, a slap would be inevitable.

"Qiyue, why are you so calm? If someone didn't know you, they would think you were just a passerby, observing the surrounding scene with indifferent eyes."

Qi Yue sniffed calmly and said, "Second sister, I'm not a passerby. I'm just slow and I'm just having a reaction."

After saying that, Qi Yue burst into tears.

The second sister thought Qi Yue would cry out loud, so she covered Qi Yue's mouth in a flash, and took the three of them back to the dormitory with the dormitory head.

After returning, the three of them didn't say a word, just sat there blankly, looking at the eldest sister's empty bed and the garbage scattered on the ground. The past four years were repeated in their minds, more than a thousand days and nights, eating, sleeping, attending classes, skipping school, and collecting folk songs together... After calming down for a moment, it was the dormitory head who spoke first.

The dormitory head said disdainfully to Qiyue, "Qiyue, stop crying. Big sister called and said she's at the train station and is ready to board the train. You should take a break."

He completely forgot about his embarrassing appearance just now.

The second sister affirmed Qiyue and said, "But, Qiyue, I have to praise you. It's really good that you just shed tears and are sad without making a sound. It's very quiet and doesn't disturb others. But I'm afraid that if you cry for too long, you might go blind."

The dormitory head pushed my second sister and said, "What are you talking about?" Then he said to Qi Yue, "Stop crying! Your fake boyfriend won't come to see you tonight."

Yes, because the car is tomorrow, so I made an appointment with Lili. Qi Yue thought to herself: "I can't let him try to coax me, that wouldn't be coaxing me, that would be scolding me."

Ouyang Li, a god-like man, is neither happy nor sad, but has a lot of profound truths. He is an economics man from the School of Management, a man of refined lifestyle, pursues perfection, yearns for a high degree of freedom, and advocates a perfect system of rules. He always keeps his words, keeps his promises, obeys his responsibilities, and sues for any violation.

Just like that, in these short two days, I saw off my classmates, said goodbye to my good friends, and now I am saying goodbye to Qi Yue herself.

As usual, a goodbye song echoed throughout the dormitory floor.

Qi Yue looked at her second sister in surprise: "Second sister, is it really necessary to do this?"

The second sister replied in a charming voice: "Dear little sister, what do you say?"

Qi Yue nodded obediently and clapped her hands in approval: "Second sister, you are right."

These four simple words represent four years of friendship. Qi Yue is a person with no opinions. Everything is fine with him and he has no choice.

Qi Yue finished speaking and looked at her second sister quietly. "Second sister has taken the best care of me since the first day I came to the dormitory, and I like her the most. Of course, I also made her ignore me for several days because of my willfulness, but we never parted ways. Second sister, do you know what? If I did anything wrong, you must not be angry. I also blamed myself afterwards. I really said something careless that offended you. I'm sorry, my dearest second sister. Even if we don't contact each other often, I will always miss you. My little second sister forever."

After hearing these four words, the second sister stopped packing her things and turned around to hug Qiyue. She was tall enough to hold Qiyue in her arms, and her arms were really warm: "Be well."

The second sister sent Qiyue to a taxi, and Lili took Qiyue to the train station.

Lili, I want to be hugged. Qiyue stretched out her arms: "Lili, please miss me. Come to see me when you are free. Thank you for indulging me. Thank you for loving me."

"At this point, my four-year college life has come to an end. The laughter, anger, and insults of the past have finally become a cloud of smoke. The road ahead is confusing and the path is unknown. The road ahead is under my feet, and I will follow my own path."

"With this, we, the past is gone, return to the four seas, take care of each other, and do not ask when we will return."

I started the next chapter of my life with curiosity and worry.
