We all have unspeakable darkest moments, all unknown storms; concepts that have been shattered and then rebuilt.
They are all required courses for growth.
As we wait for it to pass, we will become fuller and more peaceful adults.
——"Mr. Deka's Mailbox"
In the second semester of his freshman year, Lu Zhinian's project went through rigorous professional review and evaluation, and was introduced to the public security systems of many provinces after a successful pilot project at the Yun City Public Security Bureau. After the project was successful, Lu Zhinian paid his share of the remuneration that should have belonged to the team members out of his own pocket. Then hand over the project to the government free of charge.
In mid-June, good news came from Yun City.
Thanks to Lu Zhinian's facial recognition and tracking technology, multiple provinces jointly solved a major drug manufacturing and trafficking case. The drug traffickers who escaped back then were part of this drug trafficking group.
This anti-drug operation is not only a major breakthrough in my country's anti-drug work, but also a major success in the use of information technology by my country's public security system. Because the case was pronounced on June 19, this case was also called the "619 Anti-drug Case" by the media.
All of a sudden, the news media were reporting on it.
Lu Zhinian sat on a bench by the Jingsi Lake in the school and quietly watched the video of the public trial of drug dealers on his mobile phone. The moment the judge's gavel struck, his heart trembled.
What followed was a sour relief at the tip of my nose.
He exited the video, raised his eyes to look at the lake, his eyes were red, and he slowly curled his lower lip.
There, they kissed in the snow.
He picked up his phone and clicked on WeChat, then lowered his eyes and clicked on the pinned dialog box that had been silent for a long time.
[Jiang Suichu, I caught your nightmare. 】
【It’s time to come back. 】
...
After the drug dealer was arrested and brought to justice, Lu Zhinian finally no longer worked hard to write programs and code every day and night as before. Although he was studying hard and seriously, he also started to behave like a normal college student.
Normal schedule, study, and exercise. In my free time, I play games with my roommates, participate in basketball games organized by the school, and also drive alone to travel around Beicheng during the short vacation.
In a blink of an eye, the sophomore semester has begun.
On the first day of school, Lu Zhinian and his professor went to a neighboring province to participate in an electronic information cutting-edge technology forum jointly held by multiple universities before he could even register at school. On the way to a neighboring province. He received a video call from Pei Shuo.
Pei Shuo: "A Nian, where are you?"
Lu Zhinian looked at the train tracks passing by outside the window and said, "On the high-speed train."
Pei Shuo: "High-speed rail? Where are you going when school starts today?"
Lu Zhinian: "Accompany the professor to attend a forum in Tianjin."
Pei Shuo touched his chin and said in a long tone: "Oh~ That's it~"
Lu Zhinian glanced at him: "Is something wrong?"
Pei Shuo smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just gave you a school gift."
Lu Zhinian raised his eyebrows and sneered: "A gift for the beginning of school?"
Pei Shuo nodded and said mysteriously: "Yes. It should be here in the next two days. Please pay attention to answer the phone."
Lu Zhiqiang clicked his tongue: "Stop sending me those messy things, I won't eat them..."
Since he came to Beicheng to go to school, Pei Shuo often sends him things, including Yunshi specialties, snacks, and Yunyou yogurt. Except for Yunyou yogurt, there was nothing he couldn't buy in Beicheng, so he had to send it all the way.
Besides, he doesn't eat snacks, so he always puts the things he sends there. When they are about to expire, he remembers to take them to the dormitory and distribute them to his roommates.
Before he finished speaking, Pei Shuo laughed and said, "That's it, I'll hang up first."
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.
Lu Zhinian looked at the hung up video and twitched his lips helplessly.
A major
He Yifan and his roommates are both members of the student union. They stood at the welcome platform under the willow tree at the school gate.
He Yifan put his arm on the shoulder of a fat boy, touched his chin and looked at the freshmen coming and going: "Hey~ This year's class of junior high school girls are not so good. I haven't seen a few beauties all morning."
The fat boy rolled his eyes at him: "Can you please stop acting like an emperor choosing a concubine? You will embarrass my computer."
He Yifan: "Hey~ Fatty, what are you talking about? I just want to be single."
The boy who was called chubby looked him up and down, and sneered: "If you calm down your careless energy and follow Lu Zhinian's example and talk less, there might be some hope."
He Yifan said quietly: "Then A Nian is still single."
As he spoke, he let out a long sigh: "Hey, how good of a girl do you have to be that you can't even look down on Lu Zhinian, but you can actually make him fall in love with you?"
Xiaopang shrugged: "I don't know."
Lu Zhinian never talked about his emotional affairs. The only time was some time ago, when someone exposed Lu Zhinian's mobile phone number on the school's confession wall. During that time, Lu Zhinian received dozens of confessional calls and text messages every day.
At first he answered every call, as if he was afraid of missing something. They witnessed with their own eyes the anticipation in his eyes every time the phone rang, and then the disappointment after answering the phone.
Later, he stopped answering all strange calls.
He Yifan asked him cautiously: "A-Nian, are you... waiting for someone's call?"
They actually didn't expect Lu Zhinian to answer. After being classmates for half a year, everyone understood Lu Zhinian's personality to a certain extent. He was humble and polite in dealing with people and doing things, but deep down he was cold and distant.
But that day, Lu Zhinian stared at the phone and said dumbly: "Well, I'm waiting for her call."
Xiaopang: "Is that the girl on your computer screen?"
Lu Zhinian nodded: "It's her."
He Yifan rubbed the tip of his nose and asked tentatively: "You... broke up?"
Lu Zhinian frowned and glanced at him: "No, we won't break up."
He Yifan was so excited by his sight that he looked at Xiaopang. This was not an appropriate breakup, he looked unwilling.
From then on, Lu Zhinian never said anything about feelings again. But no matter who confesses to him, he will always say that he has a girlfriend.
He Yifan shook his head and looked at the registration book: "I really want to know what this girl looks like to make Lu Zhinian miss her so much. Even a beauty like Su Suihe can't look down on her."
"Relationships are never about appearance." Xiaopang said with a deep expression, and then looked at He Yifan with disgust, "People like you who only care about appearance are just doing it to act like a hooligan."
He Yifan was not happy when he heard this, and pretended to hook Xiaopang's neck: "I said you today..."
Before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure from the corner of his eye.
The girl was wearing a white knee-length cotton dress, carrying a light blue backpack, and pushing a large light yellow suitcase in her hand. She has shoulder-length black hair scattered around her shoulders, a fair face and a pair of round almond eyes looking around like a deer in the forest.
He Yifan let go of Xiaopang and murmured: "I think my love is about to bloom."
Xiaopang: "Huh??"
Xiaopang was confused, and then he watched He Yifan running towards the school gate.
Jiang Suchu was looking for the registration desk of the Foreign Languages School when a figure suddenly appeared from the side and startled her.
He Yifan smiled and greeted her: "Beauty, are you a freshman? Which college are you from?"
Jiang Suchu glanced at him, took a step back silently, and said politely: "Hello, senior, do you know where the registration office of the Foreign Languages School is?"
He Yifan nodded repeatedly: "I know, I will take you there."
As he spoke, he took the suitcase in her hand regardless of whether she wanted it or not. Jiang Suichu glanced at the suitcase in his hand, and wanted to reach out to get it back, but He Yifan raised his hand and carried it directly to the other side.
Jiang Suichu raised his eyes and glanced at the sign around his neck - School of Computer Science and Technology.
She pursed her lower lip, followed his footsteps and asked, "Senior, are you from the computer department?"
When He Yifan saw her looking at the tag on his chest again, he picked it up with a smile and showed it to her: "Yes, I am a sophomore in computer science."
Sophomore....
Jiang Suchu looked at his sign. Lu Zhinian was also a sophomore in computer science.
I don't know if he knows Lu Zhinian.
He Yifan walked on the side and quietly glanced at the girl's profile. The girl is very thin, with no flesh on her pointed chin and face. But the tip of her nose is a little upturned, and her eyes are round and big. As the eyes move, they look like some kind of small animal.
He Yifan lowered his head and smiled, looking for a topic: "Junior sister, what language do you study?"
Jiang Suchu: "English."
He Yifan: "You are good at English. I have always envied those who are good at English. To be honest, I haven't passed CET-4 yet."
Jiang Suchu smiled slightly, not knowing how to answer his words. Fortunately, the two of them had already reached the registration office of the Foreign Languages School. Jiang Suchu stopped and thanked him: "Thank you, senior, please give me the suitcase."
He Yifan did not give it to her, but said: "It's okay, you report in first. I will take you to the dormitory later."
Jiang Suichu smiled and shook his head: "No need, I can do it myself."
He Yifan could hear the polite refusal in Jiang Suichu's words. He did not give up and said, "Do you know how to get to the dormitory? I'd better give it to you."
Jiang Suichu took a step forward, took his suitcase, and smiled lightly: "I know how to get there, so I won't bother senior."
After saying that, she nodded politely to him, then pushed her suitcase to the registration desk to sign up.
He Yifan looked at her back as she leaned over the registration desk to sign, and raised her hand to scratch the back of her head: "Tsk, why does this girl's temperament feel a bit familiar?"
Her seemingly polite but distant attitude always gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
I seem to have seen it on someone before.
Xiaopang witnessed the whole process of He Yifan's failure to seduce girls. He came over and patted his shoulder with a suppressed smile: "The peach blossom...can't bloom."
He Yifan: "...Get out!"
When Jiang Sui first arrived at the dormitory, there was no one in the dormitory, but the beds were made. Only her bed on the left side of the balcony was still empty. She opened her suitcase, took out her things and started packing.
She had just made the bed when the phone rang.
She collapsed on the bed tiredly and answered the phone: "Hello, Lele."
Pei Shuo's loud voice came from the other end of the phone: "Suisui, have you arrived at school?"
Jiang Suichu smiled: "Here we are, I've already packed up in the dormitory."
Pei Shuo: "Then did you call A Nian?"
Jiang Suichu paused and clasped the little flower on the bed sheet: "Not yet, I... will beat him later. You are not allowed to tell him."
Pei Shuo smiled and said, "I know, you want to give him a surprise~"
Jiang Suchu pursed his lips in embarrassment: "Well..."
Pei Shuo: "Then I won't bother you to clean up. Don't be too tired. If there's anything you can't handle, just leave it to Anian to help you."
Jiang Suchu smiled and sat up from the bed: "Okay~"
The two ended the call, and she just put down the phone and received another call from Shu Yuan.
She looked at the caller ID and answered the call with a helpless smile: "Hello, Aunt Yuan."
Shu Yuan: "Sibao, have you arrived at school?"
Jiang Suichu curved his lower lip: "We're here."
Shu Yuan: "Are you tired? I told you to go and you didn't do it."
Jiang Suchu: "Aunt Yuan, I'm not tired."
Shu Yuan: "You haven't been healthy for a long time, so don't tire yourself out. Remember to ask A-Nian if you have anything to do, do you hear me?"
Jiang Suchu: "Yeah, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Suchu took a basin of water and wiped the table and cupboard clean inside and out, and then put all the clothes he had brought with him into the cupboard. After everything was packed up, the roommates had not returned yet.
She picked up her phone and looked at the time. It was almost twelve o'clock. She put her schoolbag on her back, locked her dormitory door, and prepared to go to the cafeteria to eat first.
Jiang Suichu walked along the tree-lined avenue of the campus with her schoolbag on her back. Lu Zhinian took her along the path from the dormitory to the cafeteria. The willow branches on both sides of the road swayed in the wind, the lawn by the lake had just been mowed, and there was a faint smell of grass in the air.
After eating in the cafeteria, Jiang Suchu followed her memory and walked quietly around the school according to the route Lu Zhinian had taken her before. The teaching building, library, dormitory, and playground finally ended up at the Jingsi Lake.
She sat on the bench where Lu Zhinian had sat before, looking at the lovers in love on the lawn across the lake and arching her eyebrows.
How wonderful.
The hot summer wind blew by, ruffling the calm lake water.
Jiang Suichu lowered his eyes and glanced at the peace charm hanging on his schoolbag. He took out his mobile phone with a smile, tapped his fingertips on the dialing interface and entered the number he was already familiar with.
Du~du~du~~
After a few beeps, a mechanical and cold female voice came: "Hello, the number you dialed is currently on a call. Please call again later..."
Um?
Jiang Suichu took off his cell phone, looked at it, and dialed again.
This time the phone only rang once and was hung up.
! ?
Jiang Suchu opened her eyes wide and stared at the screen of her mobile phone. Lu Zhinian actually hung up on her! ?
