As an ordinary girl, Yu Wei has neither outstanding looks nor any special skills. She is the kind of unknown person who would not be even glanced at if she were taken to the street.
She has a very good boyfriend, can get along well with many people in the class, and has a gentle and tolerant personality, so she has a good reputation in the school.
Therefore, since her sophomore year, Yu Wei has always been the monitor of New Media Class 2. Other responsibilities have come and gone, but the position of monitor seems to have been created for Yu Wei, and no one has ever wanted to take it away from her.
As the class monitor, Yu Wei did not disappoint her classmates' expectations. She was able to handle all matters, big or small, perfectly, and organized all activities beautifully. She was also able to secure more benefits for the New Media Class 2 without affecting others.
Capable, good-natured, ordinary but not mediocre, it can be said that Yu Wei has left more than 90% of her peers behind.
However, even so, Yu Wei can only be considered a talent at best.
In fact, apart from anything else, in Linjiang University alone, 10% of her peers have "abilities" far beyond Yu Wei.
As a comprehensive university with a high ranking, Linjiang University has a lot of geniuses and eccentrics. Whether it is a college student who has made scientific research achievements at a young age or a super social expert who has shown himself on stage during his undergraduate studies, they can all be called the top "10%" in Linjiang University.
There is also “10%” in Yu Wei’s class.
There are thirty people in their class, most of whom are not as good as Yu Wei, but there are still three or two who are the kind of talents that are once seen once in a lifetime.
And among these people, there is only one "weirdo".
That's the boy in front of me.
Yu Wei, who was pushing the electric bike, glanced at the boy beside her and asked hesitantly, "Are you... Bai Ling?"
The boy whose name she called was stunned for a moment, then he shifted his gaze to her.
Looking at Bai Ling, Yu Wei didn't know what to say for a moment.
This is normal. Even among that unusual "10%", Bering is a very outstanding one.
First of all, he has a very handsome appearance. Not only in the New Media Class 2, but even in the entire department and even the entire campus, it is said that many people have a good impression of him.
Although Yu Wei didn't have any feelings for him, her roommate seemed to like Bai Ling very much and even wanted her to be her wingman...
But unfortunately, Bai Ling doesn't seem to have any plans for a romantic relationship.
At least not yet.
However, if it was only his appearance that was outstanding, then Bai Ling could never be called a "weirdo" - although there were not many handsome men and beautiful women in Linjiang University, there were not a few either, and Bai Ling was by no means the most outstanding one among them.
What really makes others think he is strange is his behavior.
Many people say that Bailing is a mysterious guy who is "unpredictable". He often does not attend class activities, and even in class he only maintains a minimum attendance rate. He just passes the exams just to get by. He sounds like a social scum who just eats and waits for death, has no ambition, and is unemployed after graduation.
But on the other hand, these people have also seen Bering walking from place to place. Sometimes people would see him collecting things in his hometown, sometimes they would see him reading newspapers in coastal cities, and sometimes they would even see him leaning against the deck railing and gazing at the sea on his cruise ship.
Many people were curious about Bai Ling's actions because of his illogical, unsystematic and unpredictable actions. They wanted to know what he was busy with. Because of his low attendance rate, the New Media Class 2 was always ranked last in the grade in terms of personnel organization.
Some people asked him about it, but nothing came out of it.
All those who went to ask could only look at Bai Ling's worried eyes and fall into awkward silence.
"This guy has mental problems," this is the consensus among many classmates in private.
So later on, basically not many people were interested in Bering.
However, Yu Wei is not like that.
Because she clearly remembered that in the first semester of her freshman year, Bai Ling was still a very "normal" person.
Yu Wei even remembered that Bai Ling at that time could still joke and tease his friends, and occasionally they would eat together in the cafeteria. Although he was not active on weekdays, he would respond to the class call if necessary.
At that time, Bai Ling was far from being as taciturn as he later became.
So when did the other party become so bitter and resentful? Yu Wei thought about it and felt that it was probably in the second half of the first semester of her freshman year.
At the end of his first year at school, from a certain day as a dividing line, Bailing had obviously changed.
His actions began to become anxious and he would often stare blankly at one another, as if he was looking at somewhere far away, with no focus in his eyes.
In the past, he could take a joke, but since then, Bering would not be amused by funny jokes. Sometimes when someone teased him, he would get anxious and angry, with a look of anger on his face.
From then on, Bering became a powder keg that could explode at any time.
Yu Wei once thought that this was because his family had encountered misfortune or because he had problems in his life, so she secretly asked the class teacher and counselor.
But the answer she finally got was, "Everything is fine."
There are no problems in Bering's "current" life, it is very "normal".
This is what the counselor and the head teacher said at the time.
This is normal. After all, university teachers are not high school teachers. It is impossible for them to follow you everywhere. If Bailing had not taken a long leave of absence from school, the teacher might not have bothered to check.
We are all adults and we are all busy.
However, this still made Yu Wei feel something was not right.
As a very responsible person, she used to be friends with Bai Ling, so she really wanted to help her friend.
But soon, Bering stopped going to school.
His behavior began to become strange. Just as his classmates had said, he would sometimes appear in completely unrelated places and do things that seemed to be full of "performance art" style. He was even more insane than the patients in a mental hospital.
Obviously he wasn't like this before.
Yu Wei felt a little regretful, but there was nothing she could do.
She just tried her best to help Bai Ling deal with school matters, such as various notifications.
It was during that time that Yu Wei discovered the source of Bai Ling's changes.
He is "anxious".
Bai Ling was extremely anxious, as if something was chasing him from behind, making his every move filled with impatience and madness.
She still remembered that one time, when she was conveying the school holiday notice, she casually asked Bai Ling what he was going to do next.
This sentence seemed to stun Bai Ling.
"What's next?" Bai Ling looked confused at the time. "What's next?"
"Hmm?" Yu Wei was a little surprised. "The holiday is coming soon. Don't you have any plans for the holiday?"
arrange……
Bai Ling twitched the corner of his mouth.
He looked at Yu Wei, but his eyes seemed to see through her and see something else: "Holidays, how many holidays do we have in the future? Or in other words, how much time do we have left?"
Yu Wei was a little puzzled: "You are only a junior now, and there are National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival later..."
However, she soon stopped talking.
Because she noticed Bai Ling's eyes.
It was like being tied up with heavy thorns, with iron chains wrapped around all four limbs, and every step was heavy and tired.
He seemed so depressed that even the most basic emotional control was difficult for him, which made Yu Wei realize that something was wrong with him.
What does it feel like?
Desperate, painful, hesitant, tired, Bai Ling gave Yu Wei a very bad feeling at this moment.
It was as if some whirlpool had sucked him in tightly, causing his body to be entangled and torn by all kinds of trivial matters, and every move he made would cause his flesh to fall off.
Yu Wei had never seen such complex emotions before. Even her own father would feel tired at most after get off work. However, Bai Ling's emotions were so dark that Yu Wei was a little scared.
Soon, Bai Ling realized that he seemed to be too lax.
He quickly came back to his senses and slowly calmed himself down.
After a while, Bai Ling coughed violently, his face pale: "Thank you, squad leader, I'm fine, I might go somewhere else to play with my family then."
As he spoke, he pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a smile.
He doesn't seem to be in good health during this period.
Since then, she has basically not seen Bering.
Except for specific occasions, Bai Ling seemed to have disappeared. No trace of him could be found either on campus or at home.
Originally, Yu Wei thought that she would probably never see that person again after graduation.
But she didn't expect that when she got out of class today, she looked up and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure.
Familiar because that figure is my classmate, but unfamiliar...
It’s because I haven’t seen that person for a long time.
"Beiling...?" she asked in confusion.
The man turned around and looked at her: "Squad leader?"
Is it really Bering?
Yu Wei felt confused again.
But soon, she realized that this must be Bai Ling.
However, it was not the Bai Ling she had recently become familiar with, but the "Bailing" from three years ago, when she was a freshman in college and they were still friends.
My eyebrows are no longer tightly knitted together, my face is no longer puffy, my dark circles are gone, and my skin has become a little whiter...
Eh, isn't it a bit too white?
Yu Wei always felt something strange in her heart.
The man was walking towards this side. His expression was far less heavy than before, and his steps were also relaxed.
With every step he took, Yu Wei felt that Bai Ling, who was carrying a heavy shackle in her heart, seemed to be slowly shedding the burden, and his figure was gradually becoming thinner.
Until he stood in front of her, Yu Wei felt that the tired and painful Bai Ling in her memory seemed to slowly disappear.
The only thing left was the man in front of him, wrapped in a thick scarf even in the middle of summer, staring at him, as if he was curious about what he was looking at.
The memories that had been covered in dust for a long time gradually became vivid, and the person in front of me gradually overlapped with the figure three years ago.
Very strange.
At this moment, the sunlight suddenly became so bright that it was dazzling, forcing Yu Wei to squint her eyes.
In the bright and dazzling sunlight, Yu Wei seemed to see two figures passing by each other.
It’s as if someone is walking away, while someone else is slowly approaching.
In the intersection of morning light, two figures staggered apart, taking away some things but leaving some things behind.
Finally, peace returned.
Rubbing her eyes, Yu Wei suddenly smiled.
She didn't know why, but she thought this was fine.
This is probably the best situation right now.
"Beiling" is probably really tired. The heavy shackles on his body make him so painful that he can hardly control himself. The real world may make him want to escape very much.
Now, he probably wants to take a rest.
That's fine.
Yu Wei smiled and shook her head, then glanced at Bai Ling and said casually: "You guy..."
Could it be a split personality? Bai Ling: “?”
