Ninghe City had a few cemeteries, which were also divided into three, six, and nine grades. A small piece of land in a good cemetery was very valuable, and the working-class people couldn't afford it. The cemetery in the western suburbs was small, and the price was reasonable. Xiao Bing took out all his savings in his fourth year of enlistment and borrowed some money from his comrades to put his grandfather's ashes here. It could be said that he had followed the old man's wish to rest in peace.
Xiao Bing placed the fruits and the white chrysanthemums he had bought, and gently knelt down. Facing the familiar black-and-white photo on the tombstone, he was silent for a while. He bent down and kowtowed three times. His forehead hit the stone slab in front of the tombstone and made a crisp sound. The grave-sweepers beside him were shocked. This wasn't kowtowing, it was suicide.
"Grandpa, my unfilial grandson is back. He will come to see you often in the future.”After kneeling for nearly an hour, Xiao Bing finally said something in a low voice. He had a lot of things to say, but he could only suppress them in his heart. Because his grandfather did not like to listen to nonsense in his life, he did not like men who were long-winded. He stood up and patted the dust on his pants before turning around to leave.
It took twenty-five minutes to take a taxi from Western Jiujiang Cemetery to Hexi University. On the way, Xiao Bing's right hand kept pinching the ancient jade on his neck. It was obvious that his mood had not been calm. Was his first girlfriend, whom he had not seen for two years, still the pure girl who used to sit on the bicycle and sing " Promise ", used to lean on him, and used to call him stupid?
The car stopped at the entrance of Hexi University. Xiao Bing got out of the car and looked up at the gate of Hexi University with a bit of respect. It was just like the first time he looked up at Peking University with a humble attitude. He felt inferior but also extremely respectful at the same time. The yearning and complicated feelings of those who had not finished junior high for university were not something that college students could understand.
Hexi University was the only key university in Hexi Province that had entered Project 211. It was known as the " Little Tsinghua University " beyond the Great Wall. In Xiao Bing's opinion, being able to study here was already the best among his peers. Now that he had the capital to show off in front of others, Xiao Bing was now loving the house and the crow. Qian 'er was perfect in his eyes, and Hexi University was also becoming perfect.
After two minutes, Xiao Bing walked into the campus. He had been here two years ago, so he was very familiar with the surrounding grass and trees. He walked around the modern gymnasium and library to the tall and majestic main teaching building. He looked around for more than ten minutes before walking to the girls 'apartment building.
Under the shade of the trees in front of the 14th female apartment building, Xiao Bing was smoking one cigarette after another. The girls who came and went would always glance at him. The camouflage vest and pants might look old-fashioned on a thin and weak boy, but Xiao Bing showed another kind of temperament. He was stylish, handsome, and cool. Most of the girls thought so.
Most of the school hunks on Hexi University's campus were pretty boys who lacked masculinity. Xiao Bing's appearance was really pleasing to the eyes of the little girls. He stood upright in front of the girls 'apartment and turned his head 100%. He waited for about an hour. More students came from the main teaching building. There were girls gathered in twos and threes, laughing and joking, and there were also couples walking side by side.
Xiao Bing threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and stood under the shade of a tree. He looked at the students walking over and his gaze suddenly froze. His heart, which had never wavered in the slightest when carrying out the most dangerous mission, trembled slightly. The beautiful girl in the white dress in his line of sight was Qian 'er. She was better dressed than two years ago, and she also looked more mature than two years ago.
" It's Qian 'er," Xiao Bing couldn't help but mutter affectionately as she walked towards the beautiful figure in the white dress. The girl who was walking hand in hand with her classmate seemed to have noticed something and suddenly looked up. She froze on the spot. Soon, the people around them realized that something was wrong with the two of them and looked at them in surprise.
Xiao Bing gradually approached Zhang Qian and saw the beautiful face that had appeared in her dreams countless times. The excitement in his heart was replaced by a little uneasiness. He did not see any excitement on Zhang Qian's face after a long separation. There was only shock and astonishment, more like the feeling of not knowing what to do when she suddenly met someone she was most afraid of meeting.
" Qian 'er, I'm back." The two of them were three meters apart. Xiao Bing looked at his first love, and the anticipation and excitement in his heart changed. There was an indescribable sense of strangeness mixed in.
"Oh." Zhang Qian's expression was complicated as she nodded stiffly. This one word seemed to erase everything in the past and widen the distance between the two of them. The girls beside her left very tactfully."No. 3's ex-boyfriend is still so cool. What a pity…Things have changed."
Ex-boyfriend!
Xiao Bing's heart contracted violently when he heard the girl's words. A sense of powerlessness and exhaustion instantly spread throughout his entire body. He didn't even have the strength to speak. The thing that he had been worried about the most in the past two years had happened. A house that leaks, it rains overnight. Would a son of a b * tch's life torment a poor and insignificant person?
Xiao Bing's bronze-colored face was a little pale. Thinking about how poor he was, he suddenly understood. If he hadn't had so many changes, if he was still an officer, it would probably be another situation. Just like when he had just returned from the promotion, she was so flustered that she wanted to hand over her body.
The once innocent little girl had completely changed. She had become mature and more adapted to this society. Xiao Bing's lips curled into an extremely painful smile, making people's hearts ache. He quietly stared at Zhang Qian, waiting for her to speak. Hysterical shouting or crying and pleading were the tricks played by weak little men. People from " Old A " would never be like this.
Zhang Qian bit her lips and hesitated for a while before saying softly,"" Xiao Bing, I, I'm not okay. I'm sorry."
" So many years of love, just one apology, and it's all gone." Xiao Bing's voice was very low, as if he was talking to himself. His first girlfriend's apology was like an invisible blade that stabbed deep into his heart, leaving a wound that would never heal. The physical pain was far less than one ten-thousandth of this pain.
A melodious ringtone rang out. Zhang Qian, who was at a loss, took out her phone from her bag. She looked at the caller ID and hurriedly moved away from Xiao Bing to a small tree shade. Xiao Bing shook his head and smiled bitterly. As the saying goes, you can only win if you fight hard. But at this point, there was no need to fight anymore.
Was this girl who used to like singing " The Promise " not worth his effort, or was he deeply hurt by the cruel reality and chose to give up? He was not sure himself. He ignited the soft China that Yang Bin had given him, took a deep breath, and turned around to walk in the direction of the main teaching building.
After Zhang Qian picked up the phone, she turned around and saw the tall and sturdy back view. It was no longer the high-spirited figure from two years ago. Instead, there was a sense of sadness and loneliness that pierced her heart. She bit her lip and shouted,"Xiao Bing, wait for me at the cafe across from He University at 3 PM. I will explain everything to you.”
