Chapter 5 Li Xiaoman
Chapter 5 Li Xiaoman
The alma mater has not changed much compared to before. What has changed is the people who come and go, imprinting an unforgettable memory with four years of youth.
Under the shade of greenery and beside the grass, some juniors and juniors were reading books quietly, very harmonious and peaceful. Ye Fan and others felt like they had returned to the past, away from the impetuousness and hustle and bustle they had experienced in the past three years.
After graduation, everyone was busy with their lives and ideals, and many people stayed away from the city. Except for a limited number of people such as Ye Fan, almost everyone else returned to their alma mater for the first time.
The small lake not far away is rippling gently, and the scenery is still the same. I still clearly remember the scenes of those melancholy and decadent or high-spirited figures holding guitars by the lake and singing campus ballads.
Even after many years have passed, whenever the melody sounds, it always reminds people of the carefree and innocent age, the faint sadness makes people sad and sweet, and it is easy to touch people's hearts.
The precipitation of the years will always leave a little sour taste.
I just don't know if those people can still pick up the guitar and play and sing now. It's hard to find their whereabouts after graduation.
"I vaguely heard a friend say that the melancholy guitarist was singing in a bar in another city, and it has been a lot of vicissitudes in the past few years."
"Do you still remember the multi-talented long-legged sister in the school band back then, a very beautiful and pure lead singer, who is said to accompany drinks in a nightclub now."
The crowd could only let out a sigh.
After graduation, many people have encountered the impact of ideals and realizations. Sometimes life is really helpless, people feel frustrated and confused.
After a short silence, everyone continued to walk forward.
At this time, Lin Jia came to Ye Fan's side.
She was wearing a blue-and-white chiffon dress that reached to her thighs, making her two slender legs even whiter and more attractive. She tied a black belt to make her waist more feminine, her long hair draped over her plump chest, and her figure was curvy.
With a beautiful face, snow-white skin, and phoenix eyes with a strange style flying upwards slightly, Lin Jia has a special temperament.
"Obviously there is a car, why didn't you tell me yesterday?"
"Where do I have a chance to say."
"Won't you invite me in your car today?"
"I'm very happy, here I solemnly invite Miss Lin Jia."
At this point, both of them laughed.
Lin Jia pointed to yesterday's events abruptly, but walked around lightly, and didn't say anything more because of yesterday's events, nor did she deliberately lower her posture to get closer.
After saying this, she smiled and turned away. Lin Jia is a smart woman. She knows that it is not good to be too deliberate. It will only appear false, and it is far less direct and natural.
This subtle change naturally also happened to some other students.
It was almost noon when they left their alma mater, and everyone came to the food street and boarded the restaurant building.
Wang Ziwen asked Ye Fan to sit at their table in private, Ye Fan just smiled and toasted a few glasses of wine, and still sat with those people yesterday.
"Ye Fan, I was drunk yesterday, don't mind. I'll give you a toast, I'll do it first..." The male classmate who said that his fiancée was the niece of a bank executive, also treated Ye Fan yesterday. He was preaching, but today he tried his best to explain what happened yesterday with a low profile.
And the female classmate who said that her husband had been promoted to the vice president of the company also changed her attitude from yesterday and was polite to Ye Fan.
"Come on, let's toast together."
...
Compared to yesterday, the table of Ye Fan and the others was very lively today, everyone clinking glasses constantly, and people from other tables came to toast from time to time. And Ye Fan naturally couldn't shirk, clinking glasses with people, and even drinking one by one with the people who came over from Wang Ziwen's table.
Liu Yunzhi was very calm, although he was very embarrassed yesterday, but today he was calm, and he couldn't see anything strange, as if nothing had happened.
"Everyone, last night I received a call from across the ocean..."
The speaker is Zhou Yi, a very elegant young man. It is rumored that his family has a deep background, and it is no longer a secret among his classmates. Yesterday, Wang Ziwen was the one who was waiting to greet him outside Mingyue City on the Sea.
Everyone stopped and looked at Zhou Yi. Whether he was in school or now, he was very easy-going and never felt arrogant.
Zhou Yi said a piece of news that three classmates studying on the other side of the ocean had already left for their home country, which immediately caused a heated discussion among the classmates present.
...
"After graduation, we are separated from each other, each of us has our own different life trajectories, and it is very difficult to be together. When we meet again, maybe we are both fathers and mothers, and we don't know how many years will pass by then. Now. The three students who are studying abroad are going back to China. I have a proposal to extend this gathering a little..."
※※※※※
Ye Fan drove back home, made a cup of light green tea, and quietly looked at the plane tree outside the window, he remembered some past events.
The person who has missed, the footsteps of leaving, the road that goes farther and farther, is like the leaves of the sycamore falling gently in front of you.
Li Xiaoman, this name has faded out of Ye Fan's memory for a long time.
When Li Xiaoman graduated from college, he went to study on the other side of the ocean. In the first few months, the contact between the two was very close, but as time went by, the emails and phone calls gradually decreased, and finally the contact was completely cut off.
Rather than looking at each other across the sea, it is better to say forgetting each other across the sea. A love that was not favored by friends came to an end as expected.
Today, I learned from Zhou Yi that Li Xiaoman is about to return to China. When Ye Fanchu heard the name, he even felt a little unfamiliar. He looked back suddenly, it has been more than two years.
※※※※※
The time of the party has been extended, and I will go to visit Mount Tai. All the expenses will be paid by Wang Ziwen, Zhou Yi and others. For ordinary people, this may be a lot of expenses, but for them, it is nothing.
Three days later, Ye Fan saw the familiar figure again at the foot of Mount Tai. Three years later, Li Xiaoman is still graceful and beautiful, and there has not been much change.
She can be one hundred and seventy centimeters tall, wearing a pair of sunglasses, long black hair fluttering in the wind, standing there slim. Her clothes are very simple, casual and cool. The lower body is a pair of shorts that reach above the knees. The legs are fair and slender, and the upper body is a T-shirt with a cartoon pattern printed on it.
Li Xiaoman is undoubtedly very beautiful, her skin is white and delicate, her eyes are large, her eyelashes are very long, she looks very aura, her whole person is not ostentatious but very confident.
She calmly talked to the classmates around her, obviously becoming a central figure, but also made people feel friendly.
There is a tall young man beside Li Xiaoman. It is reported that she is her American classmate. Compared with the soft and smooth face of an oriental person, he has a typical western face, which is very three-dimensional. The bridge of the nose is high and blue. With slightly sunken eyes and slightly curly blond hair, he is handsome in terms of Western aesthetics.
"Hello, I'm Cade, I yearn for Mount Tai, and I can finally... see it." Although this young American named Cade was not very fluent, he was able to express his meaning clearly.
The other two students who have returned from studying abroad have already been surrounded by enthusiasm and are being asked about their life and study on the other side of the ocean.
Three years later, when Ye Fan saw Li Xiaoman again, there was a sense of space changing and time passing.
Both of them were calm and polite, greeting each other politely, not having the joy of reuniting after a long absence, some of them were just plain as water, and even a little light.
There are not too many words, just pass by gently, some things do not need to be said, silence is a result.
