"So fast?" Tang Yue and Wang Xingrui stood up almost at the same time. They always felt that they had just got off the plane and got on the bus arranged by Zhou Yiyang.
"We need to change cars." Zhou Yiyang stretched and walked out from the last row. "See, that road is quite narrow, so we have to change cars."
After the four got off the car, they looked around.
This is a small town. There are not many people on the street and the cement road is dusty.
The nearest shops are closed, but there are still a few small vendors selling vegetables on the roadside.
Wang Xingrui whispered in their ears, "The town where I live seems to be more developed than here."
Du Li was the last one to get off the bus.
The sun was very strong that day. After she got off the car, she had to shield her eyes from the sun with her hands, otherwise her eyes would be blinded.
"Du Li," the staff member standing beside her seemed to have changed her appearance in a trance. It was her deskmate, a girl who had been fostered at her grandmother's house since she was a child. Her name was Xiaolan. She had a round face and big, watery eyes. "The sun is too strong today!"
"So you should learn from me!" Du Li covered her eyes with her hands. "Our guesthouse is just in front, right?"
That year, they were all assigned to the examination room here for the college entrance examination.
The scorching sun gave off a special smell on the road, which Du Li still remembers to this day.
It doesn't smell good, but every time she smells it, she can feel a sense of refreshment that she hasn't felt in a long time.
"Yeah," Xiaolan proudly put down her new schoolbag, which her mother, who works in Huadu City, had sent her as a gift for her college entrance exam. "It's this hot in June, so the greenhouse effect mentioned in the book must be real!"
"You even know about the greenhouse effect! Let me test you: what's the difference between value and price?"
Xiaolan immediately covered her ears and said, "Don't ask me anymore. I'm so confused by politics and history!"
"It's okay," Du Li patted her chubby back, thinking her grandmother was a real prodigy, raising this girl so strong on simple food. "Many people take the test without even reading the textbook. If you don't understand a question, just copy the information from the question stem. Write beautifully, and you'll definitely get a high score."
"Du Li?" It was the voice of the boss of Yi Yang Entertainment Company.
"I'm sorry," she said with a wry smile, "the scene suddenly brought back memories."
"I want to go over there and take a look. Will it delay the filming progress?"
Du Li was only the planner; she had no say in the matter. Furthermore, she knew her request was beyond her rights.
Not to mention the company, an artist like Moonlight Girl is so busy, they definitely won’t agree, right?
"It's okay!" Su Yin smiled understandingly: "If it were me, I would definitely do the same."
"Go ahead," Wang Xingrui looked at Du Li sympathetically. "We can also take a walk. It's quite boring sitting in the car."
The other two pretty girls also smiled kindly.
Du Li was moved at that moment.
The cement road is very flat, without the potholes it had ten years ago.
I still remember that day when a few girls were running on this road and their soles were hurt by the gravel.
The old man selling vegetables had a newspaper slumped on his knees. Du Li took a look at it and saw that it was from three years ago.
Not much has changed here, and time moves very slowly, but it is still moving forward.
The guesthouse is gone, and now it is a post station specializing in receiving and sending express deliveries.
Business is good.
"Du, Du Li, is that you?"
Zhou Yiyang's camera also recorded this moment.
At the door of a small restaurant filled with the smell of fireworks, two women who were very different in body shape and clothing hugged each other.
The coincidence is like a movie.
"Xiao, Xiaolan?"
It’s still the same face, but it’s rounder than ten years ago.
Fortunately, her fluffy hair contains an unconcealable happiness.
They parted during the summer vacation after the college entrance examination.
Du Li can no longer remember the two days of the college entrance examination.
It was like a dream, she was walking in clouds, ethereal and unreal. So much so that she dreamed of returning to the college entrance examination classroom several times. The people around her, the numbers outside the window, and the test paper under her pen were all changing.
The moment the results came out is the moment Du Li loves to look back on the most in the past ten years.
She often joked that it was the most glorious moment of her life.
That kind of glory gradually faded away as she came to Shanghai.
Until now, people in society have a somewhat mocking name for people like her - small town test-takers.
But now, the moment Xiaolan hugged her, Du Li wanted to go back to the small town.
Back to that sultry summer ten years ago, the dreamlike examination room.
Perhaps, part of her body has been left here.
"How are you?"
"Very good. I rented a single room in Shanghai. The salary is not bad. Oh, and I also have a fat cat."
"I'm fine too. This is the noodle shop my husband and I run. This is my daughter, Chun Ya."
Wang Xingrui later said with a smile that the hug touched her for a long time.
