When I met Ji Guangyuan, he was in his freshman year, Grade 06.
I was in my second year, rank 05.
Ji Guangyuan and I are from the same hometown. He graduated from Ningxi Second High School, while I graduated from Ningxi Third High School.
Dong Xingshun was in high school at that time. His family was in the northeast and happened to have an aunt who was a teacher at the University of Science and Technology. Therefore, his family traveled thousands of miles to send him to Quyang, the city where I studied in university. They wanted him to receive a better education here.
Dong Xingshun and I got to know each other because of a coincidence. He saw the notice on the wall and saw that there was a remuneration. He helped a girl to submit a manuscript to our social magazine, so we got to know each other.
The two of them were not the kind of artistic youths. Therefore, when the three of us gathered together, we never talked about the article. Instead, we talked about hearsay, plundering the intestines, and fabricated things.
I didn't go home during the summer vacation in 2007. Instead, he rented a big house with two bedrooms and a living room more than a mile away from the school.
That was because he had to find some businesses to get advertising sponsorship when he was doing the magazine.
Therefore, for the next two months, I chose to rent a house in a small village next to the school.
At that time, other than myself, Ji Guangyuan, Dong Xingshun, and a guy called Li Liang lived there. Li Liang and Ji Guangyuan's dormitory was opposite each other. Li Liang was the president of the Chinese Chess Association, and Ji Guangyuan was the president of the Literature Club. Therefore, the two of them became very familiar with each other.
However, after knowing Li Liang, I have never seen him play chess. Perhaps, it was the legendary true person who did not show his face. However, according to Dong Xingshun, he was afraid that he would accidentally expose himself.
Now, I can still clearly remember the four of us cooking instant noodles in the alcohol stove and squatting in the living room to eat. There were also four people. Each of them was wrapped in a blanket and lying on the 1.8 x 2.0 bed. There was no cushion and only a bed board. Each of them had a cigarette. Smoke lingered in the air as they bragged. Often, we would talk until 11 or 12 at night and sleep until 10 in the morning.
Now that I think about it, I'm surprised that at that time, we never played cards together. Instead, they often went to a nearby internet cafe to play Warcraft on the local area network. Li Liang didn't know how to play Warcraft, so it was just me, Ji Guangyuan, and Dong Xingshun playing online while he played Fight the Landlord.
Among the three of us, Ji Guangyuan's skill level is the highest. I used the Undead Clan, while Dong Xingshun used the Elf Clan.
Therefore, for a long time, we tried our best to encourage Li Liang to play Warcraft with us and let him use the Beast Clan. However, no matter how hard we tried, this kid was always up to no good. He was either perfunctory or deaf to us.
I think this is probably why I, Ji Guangyuan, and Dong Xingshun decided to become sworn brothers together.
That summer vacation taught me two things in life.
One was a cigarette, and the other was a magical beast.
During that summer break, the four of us went to more than 20 sponsors. Qu Yang is a county-level city. To be able to find 20 sponsors for a magazine is indeed an amazing thing. This is also something that I have been very proud of until now.
That summer vacation, I still remember a stall selling noodles at the entrance of the internet cafe.
