Last time we had dinner at Changyun Tower, you drank too much and told the story between you and Lin Jing. "
"..."
"You said you went to the School of Political Science and Law to find him, but his roommate told you that he went to the United States. You were very sad."
"What happened to you today? Why did you mention him?"
"Because I want to know, what would you have done if Lin Jing had not gone to the United States?"
"Lao Zhang, are you okay? There are so many ifs in this world."
Lin Yue took a puff of cigarette, took out a note from his pocket and patted it in her hand.
"It's cold outside, don't send it away."
After saying this he left.
Zheng Wei glanced at the note in the palm of her hand. There was a line of beautiful pen calligraphy on it. The format was an address. She squeezed the note in her hand tightly, looked at Lin Yue's back and shouted: "Old Zhang, you have so many things to do." , more pretentious than a woman."
Lin Yue didn't look back and gave her the middle finger.
…
One month later.
Early 1997.
Xiaopang has already mastered Red Alert 95 and started to learn to edit maps. His biggest hobby is to get a rich mine and then build the light prism tower all the way to the enemy's hometown.
The four-eyed skinny monkey fights seven times every day, even on the hard difficulty level, but is taken away by a wave every time.
Mr. Xu has a booklet, which is full of maze maps from Legend of Sword and Fairy. It also marks the location of the treasure chest and what is inside.
"Ayang, I rented a counter at the Zhujiang Road Electronic Market. I remember that there are two classmates in your dormitory who are from poor families. They have always wanted to find a work-study job, right?"
Lin Yue walked to the teaching building with a few books under his arm, constantly greeting acquaintances from the School of Architecture on the way.
"Yes, Awei and Xiaohai come from the countryside. Their relatives and friends raised the money for last year's tuition fees. It is the pride of the whole village to be admitted to Jingnan University of Technology."
"Then when you go back, ask them if they are willing to show me the counter during the holiday to the Chinese New Year. The basic salary is 300, and I will give them another one dollar commission for every disc sold."
A Yang was startled: "So many?"
Usually, students in the school go to the surrounding small restaurants, KTVs, libraries, and school cafeterias to do part-time jobs in their spare time. Earning more than a hundred yuan a month is already very good, but everyone is still scrambling to do it during the holidays. During the half-month period until the Spring Festival, I can earn 300 yuan, plus commission. What is the concept? Even he was moved, okay?
"It's almost Chinese New Year, so we should pay double the salary."
"I want to go to everything you said."
Lin Yue photographed two programming books on Ayang: "Taking a long-term view, I am mainly doing this to help poor students. Your family conditions are not like theirs, and it is difficult to even pay annual tuition. Now, I thoroughly studied these two books during the winter vacation, and I will take the exam when I come back next year."
"C language? Assembly language? Are you serious?"
"Am I the kind of person whose words and deeds are unreliable?"
A Yang murmured in a low voice: "I still want to have a relaxing winter vacation..."
"Work harder now, and you will have an easy life in the future." Lin Yue patted him on the shoulder, separated the flow of people in front of him, walked to the list where the final exam results of the Department of Architecture were hung, glanced back and forth, and found it in the upper part of the list. own name.
Over there, Ayang squeezed in next to him after reading the results: "How was it? You didn't fail the exam this year, did you?"
Lin Yue pursed his lips upward.
The two courses he repeated in the first semester of his freshman year were sketching and English. The former scored 97 points and the latter scored 95 points.
"So high." Ayang rubbed his eyes, making sure he saw it right.
He remembered that when he took these two exams last year, his scores were 80 and 73 respectively. While Zhang Kai failed in sketching, he passed in English. However, he failed because he skipped too many classes and did not have enough regular grades.
"Lao Zhang, your grades are good. It seems you have worked hard this year." Someone who knew him nearby congratulated him.
"Lao Yang, how did you do in the exam?"
"generally."
While the two were talking, he caught a glimpse of Chen Xiaozheng standing behind the crowd, noticed his gaze and quickly turned away.
Lin Yue laughed dumbly, no way, this kid actually started to compete with him.
I remember that last year Chen Xiaozheng’s sketch score was 95 and his English score was 96. If the two are added together, he was one point behind.
"How's it going? Lao Zhang, you didn't fail the class this time, did you?" Xu Kaiyang was still quite worried about him. Others might not know what he had done this semester, but Mr. Xu, as his best friend, knew it very well, setting up a stall, He socializes, works on computers, takes classes in the Department of Civil Engineering, and occasionally goes to the piano store to learn music. Even when he studies in the study room, he reads all kinds of books. I haven't seen him read sketches and English textbooks a few times.
Xu Kaiyang was accompanied by Zhu Xiaobei and Ruan Guan, both of whom were worried that he would fail the exam again.
"Don't worry, it's not bad."
After Lin Yue finished speaking, he walked towards Ruan Guan: "Where's Zheng Wei? I haven't seen her in the club activity room for more than half a month. Don't you want to watch the CD she asked for?"
"She came home, on the train this morning."
"So urgent? What happened?"
Ruan Guan looked at him deeply: "Don't you know why? I thought you should know better than us."
"She went to find Lin Jing?"
Ruan Guan nodded.
"The results of it?"
"The result was that I cried for three days and three nights after I came back."
Lin Yue frowned and thought to himself: How could this happen? In the movie, Lin Jing has always liked Zheng Wei. After she and Chen Xiao happened to be together, Lin Jing came to see her, but seeing that the two had a good relationship, she finally chose to leave sadly. It was also that night that the glass was broken by Shi Jie. Falling from the sky, Lin Jing's hand was cut open. From then on, the two people had a heart-wrenching relationship... No, I should say relationship.
He gave Zheng Wei the address of the house that Lin Jing rented in order to bring the two of them together. In his opinion, Chen Xiaozheng was too ambitious and his outlook on life was a bit like Li Wenjuan. Lin Jing had always liked Zheng Wei, but was paranoid by Shi Jie. Crazy love distorts life. As long as Zheng Wei finds Lin Jing before meeting Chen Xiaozheng, Shi Jie will not become like that, and Zheng Wei will not be hurt by Chen Xiaozheng's reality.
But the result... seemed to deviate from his expectations.
"Zhang Zhang, you did really well in the exam. I did the calculations, and only counting the scores in sketching and English, you ranked second among the first-year students in the Department of Architecture, which is one point less than the first." Zhu Xiaobei came from behind. He patted him on the shoulder: "By the way, Professor Wang, who teaches structural mechanics, made an exception and asked you to take the Civil Engineering Department exam. The results came out, but they were not on the list. I asked you in private. Professor Wang said Your score is 95 points, ranking third in the whole grade."
Ruan Guan said in surprise: "How did you do it?"
Although Zhang Kai only needs to study the few subjects he failed and has more time than the average person, it is definitely not an easy task to jump from the level of failing subjects to the top of the grade, not to mention that he still has business to take care of.
"I might be lucky."
Ruan Guan was speechless. Luck can also depend on luck in exams? This is not nonsense.
"By the way, I heard that there are few trains to your side, so it's hard to buy train tickets?"
Ruan Guan nodded.
Lin Yue dug into his pocket, took out a train ticket and handed it over: "I found one from a scalper."
Ruan Guan was stunned: "This is a sleeper ticket, more than three hundred."
Train tickets with a student ID are half-price, but only for hard seats, and sleeper tickets must be purchased at full price.
"That's all scalpers have."
This was of course a lie. It took over thirty hours to get from East China to Guizhou, and he was not willing to watch Ruan Guan stand in a crowded carriage for more than a day.
Ruan Guan said: "It's too expensive."
"Then why don't you stay here for the New Year?" Lin Yue said, "Okay, stop being pretentious. If you really feel sorry for me, just treat Mr. Xu and me to dinner tonight."
"Okay, what do you want to eat?"
"There is a Jialu Restaurant across from the west gate. I ate there last time and it felt good."
At this time, Zhu Xiaobei touched Lin Yue's arm: "Vice president, I can't buy a ticket either."
Lin Yue said: "Your family is from the county town below. You think I don't know? Why are you causing trouble?"
Zhu Xiaobei scratched his head and chuckled.
Lin Yue said: "Remember to grow your hair longer this winter vacation. After all, you are a girl. What do you look like?"
"Oh, why are you just like Li Weijuan?"
…
Three days later, Lin Yue saw Ruan Wan off at the train station and took a bus to the rental counter of the Zhujiang Road Electronic Market.
"Where's Ayang?"
Xiaohai from Ayang's dormitory said: "Ayang was called away by those people on the first floor."
"Why?"
Xiao Hai and Ah Wei had strange expressions on their faces: "Didn't you ask him to do that?"
