At the same time, Hong Kong City University.
He Tianran got off the campus bus in the university town with two cups of milk tea in his hand. At noon today, he made an appointment with his girlfriend to have dinner together.
The City University of Hong Kong is different from the Film School, which is a palm-sized place. It covers an area of 450 hectares and has 21 colleges and 82 majors. According to Cao Aiqing, this year their faculty and staff alone have exceeded one Fifteen thousand, and the number of students reached more than fifty-four thousand.
On the other hand, although the Film School is well-known and sounds very grand, the campus actually occupies a very small area. If not for the fact that many places in the university town are shared, it might be about the same size as Hong Kong City High School.
As you can imagine, a large number of departments are squeezed into a few buildings, making the film school less like a traditional university and more like an overpopulated community center.
And because of this, film school students who live in university towns are often ridiculed by other university students and are nicknamed "Kowloon Walled City residents".
Of course, when this happens, students from the film school will immediately fight back, saying: "We call this 'Harvard-style management,' you idiot!"
But all joking aside, Tianran is still very envious every time he walks into the HKU campus. After all, he walked for a full quarter of an hour from getting off the bus to the place he agreed with Cao Aiqing.
Not long after, the destination was reached, and a red-brick European-style building came into view, with ivy climbing all over the walls. A vertical plaque hung on the wall of the gate, which read in black letters on a white background - Hong Kong City University Broadcasting Station.
He Tianran was not in a hurry to go in. He found a chair on the avenue to sit down, looked at the time, and calculated in his mind that it should be almost...
Sure enough, as soon as he thought about it, the soft music played by the campus radio station resounded throughout the campus. Then the announcers from HKU spoke fluent Mandarin and started today's "Campus Voice".
Every school should have similar programs, and the contents are actually similar. However, this time, He Tianran listened with interest and paid special attention.
"...That's it for today's "Voice of Campus" segment. The next segment of "Good Book Appreciation" will be presented to you by the intern announcer of our radio station, Cao Aiqing from the Department of Architecture, School of Architecture."
As soon as the male announcer finished speaking, the music played on the radio slowly changed from relaxed and cheerful to a British-style orchestral music. He Tianran perked up and listened attentively——
"Everyone in the world who is called a human being,
There is a snake in my heart.
It sits there like a ruler.
People say, I think.
The snake said, no.
Hello everyone, I am Cao Aiqing, today’s intern broadcaster. Next, I will recommend to you a collection of poems that I love very much, from "The Flowers of Evil" by Charles Baudelaire..."
This program lasted ten minutes, and the whole process ended with Cao Aiqing's soothing and clear voice. He Tianran listened to his girlfriend's words from the radio, leaned on the chair and squinted, imagining the intellectual appearance of the other party sitting in front of the microphone. My heart is still full of ideas.
"Okay, thank you classmate Cao for bringing us this spiritual food in the afternoon. Because of the arrival of the new semester, our radio station has also begun to recruit new students. If you like classmate Cao and want to hear her voice, you can go Vote for her in the campus style section of the HKU Forum, or add the WeChat public account of our broadcast station.
As an aside, I believe many students here are curious about Cao Aiqing. After all, her photos had been spread on the forum during the military training..."
"How can there be..."
The male announcer came to the next link and started making timely jokes. Hearing the content of the words, He Tianran's ears immediately stood up like antennas.
"Haha, it seems that Classmate Cao is still very thin-skinned. I hope everyone can support her. By the way, Classmate Cao, why did you think of coming to the radio station to be an announcer?"
Faced with this problem, Cao Aiqing's voice on the radio hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly:
"Actually... the radio station has a very special place in my heart. I want to be an announcer for this reason, but please forgive me, because I can't share it casually."
"Hahaha, I understand. Then, Mr. Cao, you...huh? A call came in. It seems that Mr. Cao came to broadcast on the first day, and some students were more positive. What about Mr. Cao, I think 80% of them are rushing. Since you’re here, would you like to be brought in?”
"Okay, okay!"
There was a brief connection sound on the radio, and a slightly nervous male voice spoke after a while.
"Um... Hello, classmate Ai Qing, I am a student of the same class as you in the Physical Education Institute next door. Not long ago, your HKU team went on military training with our Physical Education Institute... Well... I liked you very much the first time I saw you. , I think you have a very good personality. I asked for your contact information for a long time, but I accidentally found out at the HKU forum that you were going to broadcast today, so I wanted to ask... Do I still have a chance?"
He Tianran felt something was wrong when he heard it. After hearing it, he really wanted to do this. He stood up suddenly, took two steps back and forth, and then sat down again scratching his head and head.
On the radio, Cao Aiqing was obviously stunned for two seconds, but it was only for a moment. She listened softly on the radio:
"Classmate, what's your surname?"
"Ah, my surname is Chen."
"Classmate Chen, first of all, I think it is very rare to be admitted to the Hong Kong City Sports Institute. You must be a very outstanding boy in your life... Well, of course I am not bad either, haha... But because I have found the favorite person in my life You are a person, so I can only wish you well and hope that you can be like me and find the other half who can be happy with each other.
Classmate Chen, flowers bloom and people move forward. I wish you success in your studies. Thank you for your love. This is my luck. "
Cao Aiqing spoke slowly, as if she was considering her answer while giving it. Her tone was generous but also revealed a little shyness, and the words between the lines were full of the girl's gentleness and cultivation.
After hearing this, He Tianran smiled silently. He felt that he was very happy, and every cell in his body was rejoicing. He was also so lucky to be the person Cao Aiqing said she loved most in her life.
The connection was interrupted, and the campus broadcast finally came to an end. The male announcer said:
"Oh, I seem to hear the heartbroken voice of more than one person in my ears, but I still want to thank Ms. Cao for today's broadcast, and please support her a lot. So that's it for today's "Voice of Campus", and the same thing tomorrow See you later."
The ending music sounded, and people walked out of the radio station one after another. He Tianran stood up and looked around.
A few minutes later, Cao Aiqing slowly walked out of the red brick building. She stayed for a moment, looking around calmly, as if she was also looking for something.
She just broke into He Tianran's field of vision quietly and fiercely, and in this moment, the boy actually felt that she fit in so well with the ancient building behind him, as if through the decayed bricks and colors, I saw a beautiful story from a hundred years ago.
He Tianran stopped and held his breath, not daring to break this beautiful scene. In his mind, he suddenly thought of emerging from the mud without being stained, washing the clear ripples without being evil; he also thought of the orchid in the deep valley, admiring the beauty alone; I also thought of the plane trees deep in the courtyard, with copper bells hanging from the high branches.
"Ai Qing!"
He finally couldn't help but screamed softly. Cao Aiqing also noticed him at the same time. The girl immediately showed a smile, walked down the steps quickly, and then ran over at a trot. When the two were about to approach, she jumped slightly. , his hands wrapped around the young man's neck, and he plunged into the other man's arms.
What is she now?
It is the poet's image, the sunshine under the Tyndall effect, and He Tianran's only romance.
