On the day of returning to school, the classmates I hadn't seen for a long time all looked different.
When I was in school, girls were not allowed to have long hair, boys were not allowed to dye or perm their hair, they could only wear school uniforms every day, and they were not allowed to wear jewelry.
Adolescence is a time of restlessness and love of beauty. Young boys and girls are almost suffocated by restrictions. After finally graduating and being able to show off and put on makeup, who wouldn’t dress up?
The girls put on light makeup, wore their favorite skirts, and stood hand in hand, which was a beautiful sight.
The boys were dressed differently, all trying to show their maturity, but at first glance they still looked childish.
Lan Shuang and Mu Yan walked in side by side. Seeing these old classmates, they felt quite emotional.
Everyone seems to have changed, yet everyone seems to have remained the same.
"Xiaolan!"
Hearing the familiar name, Lan Shuang looked up and saw Qin Zhou leaning on the handrail of the stairs and waving at her, "Welcome our top scorer in the liberal arts department, Xiaolan!"
At her command, the others gathered around. Cui Hao, having found a plastic trumpet from somewhere, blew it, producing a piercing sound. The PE committee member nearby smacked him, "That's enough—you're playing with this crap, aren't you? If you make me deaf, you'll have to pay for my medical expenses."
Lan Shuang looked at them with amusement, and then began to act along. She raised her hand and pressed it down, making a gesture as if she was giving a leadership speech. "Alright, alright, keep a low profile, keep a low profile."
“Hahahahahaha——”
Everyone laughed. Seeing that she was not alienated from them because of her grades, everyone felt much more at ease and greeted Mu Yan who was behind her.
"Brother Xiaolan is here too."
Mu Yan nodded at them: "Hello."
Lao Tie, who heard the noise, came out of the classroom and waved at them with a smile: "You've come just in time, let's get the books."
The transcripts and reference books for the application were placed together. Most people would just take them and leave, but Lao Tie didn't. He asked about their scores one by one, then asked for their thoughts, and gave some suggestions. After all, he had been a teacher for so many years and was familiar with these universities, so he would help if he could.
Everyone knew he had good intentions, so they all listened to what he said before leaving.
Now it was Lan Shuang and Mu Yan's turn, and the others consciously retreated outside the door and waited.
Qin Zhou suggested: "Let's go have a meal later. We haven't seen each other for a long time, and we haven't had our graduation dinner yet."
"Okay, I'll go anyway since I don't have anything else to do!" Cui Hao was the first to raise his hand. "By the way, let's go sing a song. We're all adults now, so let's get drunk tonight!"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I didn't bring any money!"
"Come on, you don't have cash, and you don't have Alipay or WeChat?"
“I haven’t applied for a card yet.”
"It's okay, I'll lend it to you. Just return it to me when you're done." Qin Zhou waved his hand and said proudly.
"Wait for Xiaolan to come out and ask her if she wants to come with me." She lowered her head and clicked on the WeChat page. She glanced at the dialog box at the top and hesitated for a moment before typing, "I'm free later..."
Before he finished typing, a voice call suddenly popped up on the other side. Qin Zhou's hand trembled as he pressed the answer button. Gu Bo's smiling voice came from the other side, "I'm done here. Where are you?"
His voice was very different from usual. Everyone was stunned for a moment before realizing who it was, and immediately started to make a fuss again.
Qin Zhou was thin-skinned and blushed immediately. She glared at everyone and said, "If you start making trouble again, I'll sew your mouths shut."
Gu Bo heard it over there and couldn't help but laugh twice, his tone becoming more ambiguous: "So fierce."
Cui Hao and the other boys huddled together and mimicked him, "Oh, so fierce~"
Qin Zhou gritted his teeth in anger, pointed at them, turned around and walked to the other side, and asked in a bad tone: "Gu Bo, you'd better be okay."
"Ahem," Gu Bo realized that he had irritated the other person, so he stopped talking nonsense, smiled, and said, "Look up."
Qin Zhou looked up in confusion and saw Gu Bo wearing a loose white short-sleeved shirt and straight black trousers that made his legs look particularly long. He raised his cell phone and saw Qin Zhou, then smiled at her.
Qin Zhou's heart skipped a beat.
"Why are you here?" She hung up the phone unnaturally, her eyes looking past him and elsewhere.
Gu Bo walked over and tilted his head casually: "Waiting for you, uncle and aunt asked me to keep an eye on you today and not to play around."
Qin Zhou: "..."
Who's crazy? Her parents are really something. Gu Bo is the most dangerous one, okay?!
…
Lan Shuang and Mu Yan sat side by side across from their old friend. The old friend took a sip of tea and asked gently, "It's been a while since the results came out. Do you have any schools you're interested in? Or have those prestigious schools contacted you?"
Lan Shuang nodded: "I've contacted them, and I've made up my mind."
"Oh?" Lao Tie's eyes lit up. "Which school do you plan to go to and what major do you plan to study?"
Lan Shuang smiled and said, "I plan to study history at B University."
Lao Tie was stunned: "History?"
He was stunned for a moment, then repeated, "History? Do you really want to study it? There are very few people majoring in this field, um..."
Lan Shuang knew what Lao Tie was going to say. She had already understood it, so this decision was not made on impulse, but was made after careful consideration.
Lao Tie looked at Mu Yan hesitantly. Mu Yan said calmly, "I respect Shuangshuang's choice. She's not young anymore. She knows what she wants and what she wants to learn. That's good. Our family doesn't need to worry about her job, so her hobbies are the first priority."
Lan Shuang smiled, "Yes, teacher. I had already thought of this idea when we divided the classes, so I won't change it. I've also studied the pros and cons, and they're not a problem."
Lao Tie was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, since you've all decided, there's no problem. Actually, it doesn't matter what major you choose. The most important thing is to be willing to learn. There are 360 professions, and every profession has its own top talent. If you don't study hard, it will be difficult to graduate. It's better to choose something you like and are interested in. Maybe you can achieve something great in it."
Lan Shuang agreed: "The teacher really understands."
Lao Tie laughed heartily, "Hahahaha, the longer you live and the more you see, the less paranoid you'll be. If I were a few years younger, I would definitely advise you to reconsider."
"It's okay, go have fun. We finally graduated, and everyone's hearts are flying. But be careful!"
Lan Shuang stood up, and Mu Yan helped her carry her books and report card. "Thank you, teacher. We'll be leaving now."
"good."
As soon as Lan Shuang went out, she was caught by Qin Zhou, "Xiao Lan, we are going to have a barbecue later, are you coming?"
She glanced at Mu Yan and asked hesitantly, "Is my brother coming?"
Lan Shuang glanced at Mu Yan, who spread his hands and said, "If you don't mind, I'll go."
The explosive update is over, slow down for a bit, there is not even a chapter left...
