Chapter 107 Astringent Fruit
Yan Nian was curious about the things in the box. She squatted down and no longer cared that she was rummaging through Zhou Ran's things.
There was also a rolled-up sky blue promotional poster in the box. Yan Nian took it out and gently opened it. It was the company's job fair promotional poster.
Campus recruitment in the fall of 2017.
The job requirements only include written translation and oral interpretation. Below is the company's QR code and Zhou Ran's contact information.
In addition to these, there is also a string of arrogant words added with a whiteboard pen: I wish you good luck in the postgraduate entrance examination and a bright future - YN
Yan Nian was completely stunned.
Looking at YN, he was stunned for a few seconds.
Yan Nian bit her lower lip, guilt gathering in her chest, making her feel so uncomfortable that she could hardly breathe.
Her thick eyelashes fluttered, and everything in front of her began to become unreal.
That year, Boya went to Lingyun University to participate in campus recruitment.
Zhou Ran has been to Lingyun University.
Stepping through the fragments of memory, she returned to 2017. The classmates around her had gone their separate ways one after another. She followed her family's arrangements in a daze and took the postgraduate entrance examination.
She was at school on the day of the job fair, but she didn't go to the event.
I ran into my roommate when passing by the school's career guidance center.
"Yan Nian, the company is coming to Lindu. Aren't you going back to Lindu soon? Do you want to find out in advance?"
Another roommate said, "Of course Yan Nian won't consider work when preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam. That would be too tiring."
Yan Nian: "Well, I'm not thinking about work right now."
"Okay, I posted it in the big and small groups. If you're interested, you can take a look!"
"Yan Nian, we will go to Lindu to find you later."
Yan Nian: "Okay, I'm going home first. I hope you find your dream job. Bye!"
After saying that, she looked inside for some unknown reason, and walked towards the school gate without stopping. She only heard her roommates chatting behind her.
"Oh, if it wasn't too far, I would have wanted to go to Lindu, a city full of happiness and with all kinds of delicious food. Just thinking about it is tempting."
"Let's go. I just think about eating every day."
Afterwards, she went home and looked at the photo her roommate posted in the group chat, which was exactly the same as the poster in front of her.
Everyone complained that the place was great, but too far away. Later, I saw them say in the group that the company closed down not long after.
Their small group disbanded, and Yan Nian never contacted them again.
At that time, if she had listened to them and gone in to take a look, would she have been able to see him?
Yan Nian collected his thoughts and found that there were a few shopping receipts in the box, sandwiched in a pink folder.
Yan Nian took them out with trembling fingertips and looked at them one by one. They were all receipts from the same cake baking shop as Ling Yun.
May 6, 2015, Strawberry Mousse.
May 6, 2016, Strawberry Mousse
May 6, 2017, Strawberry Mousse
May 6, 2018, Strawberry Mousse
On the back of each one is the handwriting of the same person: Happy Birthday!
For four consecutive years, without interruption.
Yan Nian suddenly realized.
During her four years in college, she always mistakenly thought that the strawberry mousse cakes sent by her suitors were actually sent by Zhou Ran.
But she never doubted it.
On her birthday during her freshman year, she was in a very bad mood. Xu Yiqing was so angry with her that she was hospitalized and they didn't even celebrate it properly.
But there is a rule in the dormitory that when someone has a birthday, everyone pools money to buy a cake to celebrate.
That year, her roommates knew that someone in her family was in the hospital, so they celebrated her birthday a day in advance. After that, she left the dormitory building to go to the hospital. Someone told her birthday time to a sophomore suitor, and it was almost half past ten when she rushed back to the dormitory from the hospital.
A sophomore student cornered her with a strawberry cake in his hand and asked her to accept it.
She didn't take it, but her roommate took another strawberry mousse for her the next day.
She thought it was that student, and when she went to return it, the student said that he didn't buy it. After that, he returned it every year, but after an experience of being cornered at night, Yan Nian was still scared and went home every birthday.
In the end, it was never found out who sent it, and the case was left unresolved.
Unexpectedly, she missed it again and again. Every time she received a message, it was her roommate who notified her in the group.
She and Zhou Ran had just broken up and had completely cut off contact. Later, she sent a birthday present to Zhou Ran, but it was rejected. She had never thought about Zhou Ran at all.
Yan Nian looked at everything in front of him with complicated feelings.
It's too much to put the pieces together carefully.
Reunited with him in Boya.
The owner of the supermarket at the door felt very friendly towards her.
Also, on his birthday, he asked her for strawberry mousse.
I moved here after graduation.
Go forward.
It should have been the twelfth month of the previous year. She came back to spend the Spring Festival with her grandmother. From a distance downstairs, she saw a man wearing a black coat and a baseball cap at the elevator entrance. His outline looked very much like him.
By the time she ran over, the elevator door had already closed.
It turned out that he had been there all these years, but she hadn't noticed.
Yan Nian unscrewed one of the bottles of candy, poured out a candy and put it between his lips and teeth, trying to suppress the surging pain in his heart.
However, she couldn't hold back her tears, which fell uncontrollably on the poster, and then splattered into countless small water droplets that spread all over the poster.
