"That's right. We'll have less and less time to come back. In a dozen years, we might not even know if our alma mater will still exist!"
Ding Miaomiao sat in the passenger seat, looking at the scene outside that was once so familiar. Now it has changed and become a little strange. Suddenly she felt a little sad. In the blink of an eye, she had become an adult and would never have such a carefree life again.
"Yeah, so I thought about coming back with you to hang out. Maybe one day the school will be gone."
Du Bin glanced at Ding Miaomiao, who suddenly looked a little sad, and knew that Ding Miaomiao was reminiscing about the scene. The road she had traveled back and forth for three years had become a little different from before. Although it was still so familiar, it had quietly changed.
"Du Bin, do you think there will be any changes in our future?"
Ding Miaomiao suddenly turned her head, looked at Du Bin and asked him.
"Change? There will definitely be changes..."
When Ding Miaomiao heard Du Bin's words, her eyes flickered.
"We will definitely get better and better! What do you think, Miaomiao?"
Du Bin looked at the road ahead, seeing that there were no people or cars. He turned around and exchanged glances with Ding Miaomiao before speaking seriously. He gritted his teeth, grabbed Ding Miaomiao's left hand with his right hand on the gear lever, and shook it firmly, as if trying to convey his determination and confidence to Ding Miaomiao.
Ding Miaomiao's face turned red and she struggled with her left hand, but Du Bin held it tightly and she couldn't break free.
"Du Bin, drive carefully!"
Ding Miaomiao blushed and whispered to Du Bin.
Normally, Ding Miaomiao is seen as a calm and strong girl, but at this time, and in a closed car, Ding Miaomiao inevitably becomes weak.
"Oh, oh, okay!"
After hearing what Ding Miaomiao said, Du Bin smiled foolishly and took his hand back.
Du Bin didn't know what to say for a moment. There was silence in the car for a while, and Ding Miaomiao suddenly asked again.
"Du Bin, do you smell anything in the car?"
"Smell? No, I washed the car this afternoon."
Du Bin didn't react at first, and was foolishly wondering what kind of smell there could be in the car.
"No, ask carefully, is there a floral scent in the car?"
Ding Miaomiao frowned and twitched her nose. She felt that she must be smelling something right. There must be a scent of flowers.
When Du Bin heard Ding Miaomiao mention the fragrance of flowers, he froze for a moment and tried to think of an excuse.
"Oh? Really? Floral scent? Then I guess I used some soapy water when I washed the car. Soap must have a floral scent."
"Is that so? This soap smells pretty good."
Ding Miaomiao didn't doubt it and actually thought it was the smell of soap.
Seeing that Ding Miaomiao had no doubts, Du Bin breathed a sigh of relief. He almost got exposed, but he was puzzled as to why he didn't smell the fragrance of flowers.
No matter how slowly the car drove, it arrived at the gate of the middle school in a short while. As soon as Du Chen stopped the car, the gatekeeper opened the gate with a smile and motioned Du Bin to drive in. Du Bin also smiled at the gatekeeper and drove the car into the school.
"Hey, Du Bin, why did the uncle open the door without saying anything?"
Ding Miaomiao was not blind, so of course she saw the trick and asked Du Bin directly.
"Oh, I'm quite familiar with the old man. He saw me coming, so he opened the door directly."
Du Bin continued to talk nonsense. They had already arrived at school and Du Bin relaxed. He realized that it didn't matter anymore.
Ding Miaomiao looked at Du Bin suspiciously and said nothing. In short, he would definitely know what he should know, and he would not be able to find out what he should not know even if he asked.
In less than two minutes, the car stopped at the edge of the playground. The weather was still a little hot, so Du Bin parked the car under a big willow tree at the edge of the playground. This was also the location agreed upon by Du Bin and Du Chen.
"Miaomiao, what do you feel when you see the playground?"
Du Bin helped Ding Miaomiao sit on the hood. Like in an idol drama, he asked Ding Miaomiao how she felt while preparing to sit on the hood himself.
"Don't come up here, Du Bin. Help me down!"
Ding Miaomiao did not answer Du Bin's question, but asked Du Bin to help her down.
"Miaomiao, just sit down. The hood won't break if you sit on it!"
Du Bin thought that Ding Miaomiao was afraid of crushing the big thing, so she was preparing to come down.
"No, the hood is too hot! I can't sit still!"
Ding Miaomiao rolled her eyes speechlessly. It was hot in the summer, and the car had just stopped, so the temperature of the hood was quite high. Fortunately, Ding Miaomiao was wearing jeans, otherwise she would have been in great pain.
"Okay, okay, I forgot..."
Du Bin hurriedly helped Ding Miaomiao down again. This time the romance failed and it was quite awkward.
Du Bin secretly looked around, wanting to observe whether Du Chen had noticed anything. It would be embarrassing if Du Chen saw it.
On the other side, Du Chen, being the smallest, was closest to Du Bin and the others. He lay in the grass, looking at Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao in confusion. What were they doing? First, climbing up the hood? This made Du Chen think a lot. Then, Du Chen was even more confused. Brother Du Bin helped Ding Miaomiao down. What were they doing? Exercising?
If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Du Chen, who occupied the best geographical location, kept pressing the shutter of the camera. At this time, he didn't care about the film. He took pictures first and would slowly select the photos later.
"Miaomiao, are you okay?"
Du Bin looked at Ding Miaomiao and asked her awkwardly, it was really embarrassing just now.
"Du Bin, why did you bring me here?"
Ding Miaomiao did not answer Du Bin. She was too embarrassed to say whether there was something wrong or not.
"I just feel a little emotional, Miaomiao. What was I like in your eyes when I was in junior high school?"
Du Bin asked Ding Miaomiao curiously, wanting to know what he looked like in Ding Miaomiao's eyes at that time.
"You, I thought you were quite annoying at the time. You didn't study hard every day and you were always noisy in class. None of the people you played with were good students. Some were at the bottom of the class, or were famous for fighting in the grade. I kept my distance from you."
Ding Miaomiao said to Du Bin while smiling.
"No, I wasn't a good student back then, but I was still average in the class. Even though I was a bit noisy, I never bullied anyone in our class, right?"
Du Bin touched his head and felt very embarrassed. After hearing Ding Miaomiao's description, Du Bin felt so ashamed.
Although Du Chen on the other side didn't know what his brother Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao were talking about, looking at Ding Miaomiao with a slightly blushing face and a smile, and his brother Du Bin touching his head foolishly with a hint of shyness in his expression, Du Chen decisively pressed the shutter to record this moment.
Although the dubbing in Du Chen's mind was far from the real conversation between the two, Du Chen was very satisfied with his snapshots: the car, the willow trees, the blue sky and white clouds, the shy boy and girl, it was definitely a beautiful picture!
