The next day, everyone went home. He heard that a few students from other provinces were going to stay in school for a few days, including Wang Xiaofeng. It was difficult to book train tickets for the winter vacation, so she only managed to book tickets for five days later. When Autumn Beam heard about this from Liu Qi, she thought about how lonely a girl was on such a cold day. She couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Hence, he sent her a message: "I heard from Liu Qi that you're still in school. You're the only one in the dormitory. If you're not in a hurry, please send me a message when you get on the train.”
"Yes, thank you for your concern. I will.”Wang Xiaofeng replied.
Autumn Beam didn't know why she cared so much about her. Was it because she had once wiped the mud off his face? His intuition told him, No! He couldn't understand why.
Autumn Beam returned to Lizhou that day. Huang Zhitian's class was having a farewell dinner, so they didn't leave together. After leaving the hustle and bustle of school and the restlessness of youth, Autumn Beam walked in the forest every day with the birds that woke up in the morning. Her feet stepped on the thick leaves, and she felt peaceful and quiet. Her fatigue disappeared like the breath she exhaled, and she felt a kind of relaxation like she had been reborn.
Counting the days, he had already rested for a few days. It was time to organize a gathering for his high school classmates. So he sent a text message to Huang Zhitian and the old class monitor, saying," Let's have a party. The class monitor immediately replied,"I'll leave it to Huang Zhitian and you." Huang Zhitian also replied immediately, saying,"I've already set a date. It's the 25th of the twelfth lunar month. At this time, the repeat center should be on holiday." Han Ling's mother works at Renhe Hotel. She can help me book a room. I've already asked her to do it. Inform everyone. You have to try your best to inform everyone! Zhi Tian was very reliable when it came to handling matters. The rest was up to Autumn Beam.
Autumn Beam was confident that he could do a good job in harassing others. In fact, he had always done a good job. When he was bored, he would often harass others through text messages, phone calls, QQ, and so on. Of the 50 students in the class, many had their dreams disturbed by him. It would be best to inform the students who were re-studying. They were all in school to ensure that no one was left out. As for those who went to university, they could use text messages, phone calls, QQ, and other means to bombard them with 3D information. Autumn Beam believed that in the information age, as long as a person existed, they would definitely be able to find him.
However, no matter how hard he tried, there was still one student who did not reply. Furthermore, after many investigations, no other students could contact him. This person became the first person to disappear without a trace after graduating from high school. Every student knew very well that there would be many more people like him who would fade out of their sights and never have any contact with them again. This was the helplessness of life, and it was also the inexplicable sorrow of the student era. He couldn't care less. He still had to grasp the beauty in front of him. He couldn't miss the blooming winter plum blossoms just because he was greedy for memories of the autumn chrysanthemums that he had missed. Autumn Beam didn't want to be sentimental. She just wanted to see Xie Ling as soon as possible.
Suddenly, his phone rang. He received a text message. The car has already set off and will arrive tomorrow night. Don't worry about me. It was from Wang Xiaofeng. Hence, he replied,"Got it. Be careful on the road."
25th of December, Renhe Hotel. Autumn Beam and Huang Zhitian had arrived a day earlier and were staying at Han Ling's house. His mother had already booked a room. Han Ling stayed in the room to greet her while the two of them waited at the entrance of the hotel. There was almost no suspense. As expected, Dong Ting was the first to arrive.
"Yo, why are you two standing here? It's very cold.”
"Since Miss Dong is here personally, of course we have to welcome her personally!”
"Hehe, take it. A tip for each person.”Dong Ting smiled as she took out two one-yuan notes from her small purse and handed them to them.
"Thank you, Miss Dong. Please!" Zhi Tian sent Dong Ting upstairs to her room while Autumn Beam continued to stand guard.
Soon after, a group of boys arrived. Autumn Beam sent them up and came down with Zhi Tian. After a while, a group of girls arrived. More men and women came one after another. Two hours had passed, and a few mahjong tables had been opened upstairs, but Xie Ling still hadn't arrived.
"Only Xie Ling is left now. Are you sure she will come?”Zhitian asked Liang Qiu.
"I will, I definitely will. Just wait a little longer.”
"There's at most half an hour before dinner. We can't let everyone wait, right? Call her and ask.”
"Call? Let's wait a little longer."
"What's wrong? Don't you dare? If you don't want to fight, I'll fight." Thus, Zhi Tian called Xie Ling. Of course, she didn't have a phone yet. This was her mother's number. "Hello, is this Xie Ling? I am Huang Zhitian. Did Autumn Beam inform you about the class reunion?”
"Yes."
"Then are you coming? If you are, you have to hurry. It's almost time to eat. Everyone is waiting.”
"I, I've been looking for this place for a long time, but I can't find the Renhe Hotel that you mentioned.”On the other end of the phone, she sounded a little flustered.
"What? Are you lost? Stand still. I'll call Autumn Beam over to find you.”After saying that, he hung up the phone.
When Autumn Beam heard this, she was anxious and hurriedly dialed Xie Ling's number. "Don't worry. Where are you now?”
"I'm at the intersection of this song in the theater. I don't know which way to go.”
"Okay, I got it. I'll be there in three minutes. Stand there and wait for me.”
At the intersection, Xie Ling waited anxiously, not daring to take a single step. Autumn Beam rushed over and stood in front of her with a whoosh. The two of them smiled at each other, and Xie Ling seemed a little embarrassed. "Heh, you're already lost. Come, this way.”Autumn Beam said softly.
"I don't want to either, but I'm really not familiar with this place.”Xie Ling's face was already red. It was unknown whether it was because of the cold wind or because she was embarrassed.
"Then, if you get lost again in the future, call me immediately. I'll definitely fly over to save you.”
Xie Ling smiled but didn't say anything. The two of them walked side by side. It was a rare time for the two of them, and Autumn Beam felt very happy.
"How have you been in the past six months? Life must be tough for you to repeat your studies, right?”
"It's indeed very hard. I feel a lot of pressure. Fortunately, I have a good friend who gives me a lot of comfort.”
Autumn Beam suddenly stopped in her tracks." Good friends? Do I know him?" He also wanted to pretend to be calm, but he couldn't.
His reaction surprised Xie Ling. She shook her head."You don't know him. He's in the repeat class now.”
" Oh, okay, okay…" Autumn Beam nodded heavily.
"It's been half a year. I used my mother's phone to call you a few times, but your phone was disconnected.”
"Yes, I changed my number after I arrived in Jiang City. I have your mother's number, but I didn't want to disturb your studies because I thought you were still studying. I was also afraid that your mother would misunderstand and cause you trouble, so I didn't call you.”
"Oh…"
As she walked, Autumn Beam felt very strange. Why was Xie Ling's pace gradually increasing, so fast that she couldn't catch up with it? "Why are you walking so fast? I can't keep up."
"What? When I saw your pace becoming faster and faster, I thought that you thought that I was walking too slowly, so I quickened my pace.”Xie Ling replied.
"Is that so? I saw you walking faster and faster, so I wanted to keep up with you.”
"So that's how it is." Xie Ling smiled. You don't have to accommodate me just because I'm a girl. I'll just follow you.”
"Okay, then let's walk slowly. My legs are sore.”
"Actually, mine is the same, hehe." The smile on his handsome face was as bright as a flower. In the winter, the north wind raged, and a warm wind blew into Autumn Beam's heart.
Once Xie Ling arrived, it was time to eat. The restaurant had also made a reservation in advance. The restaurant owner had already prepared the table and the dishes could be served directly. Needless to say, he was going to drink again. Autumn Beam had suffered from drinking a few times, and this time she was determined not to touch a drop of alcohol. He decisively hid at the girls 'table. No matter how the class monitor threatened and tempted him, he refused to come out.
"Autumn Beam, don't be like a girl. What's the point of hiding?”
"Don't drink, just eat. I'll go over. I'll drink first before eating. Sorry, I'll stay here.”Autumn Beam picked up her chopsticks and put a piece of steamed meat into her mouth.
"No, we can't let him go. Brothers, let's go and pull him over.”Everyone rushed forward and insisted on getting him to drink two glasses.
"They are coming to arrest me. Let me sit inside.”Autumn Beam panicked. When the girls saw that the boy was really going to snatch her away, they stood up together to stop him. Especially Ni Fang and Dong Ting, they blocked Autumn Beam from the left and right. "What do you want?!" Ni Fang asked. Autumn Beam is at our table. Don't even think about snatching her away!”When Autumn Beam heard this, she was so touched that she was about to cry. "This little brother is really touched. I'll follow you. Ni Fang, be my boss.”
"Alright, I'll take you in as my little brother. In the future, I'll eat meat, you drink soup, and we'll eat delicious food and drink spicy food together.”Ni Fang smiled and patted Autumn Beam's shoulder proudly.
Everyone laughed too, especially the boys, as if they were laughing. Autumn Beam didn't care. He didn't have a chauvinistic complex. As long as the girl was happy, this bit of dignity was nothing.
After lunch, they continued playing mahjong, throwing a flood, and chatting. After a day, everyone had a great time. They hadn't seen each other for half a year, but their relationship didn't diminish. What they did was secondary. The main thing was that they could gather together. This was a great comfort to everyone. It was almost four o'clock when they had to catch the bus home. Autumn Beam had to leave first regretfully. Many people only greeted each other and did not have a good conversation.
After dinner with her parents, Autumn Beam stayed alone in her room. She made a glass of hot milk and opened her high school yearbook, leisurely reminiscing about the little things that had happened in her three years of life. Before the college entrance examination, many students bought such a notebook as a souvenir and asked everyone to write down some blessings. In Autumn Beam's classmate list, there were messages from his classmates. Many of them even recorded their " grudges " with Autumn Beam.
"You know, I don't think you're as handsome as me, but why are you more likable than me?”Hu Xikai, his deskmate for many years, wrote. "I still remember when you were eating instant noodles next to the bathroom. I gave you a serious criticism on the spot.”This was written by Chen Ya. Autumn Beam still remembered that day, in order to save time, he ate noodles while walking towards the trash can, which was not far from the bathroom. At this moment, Chen Ya happened to see it, so...
Autumn Beam couldn't help but laugh when she thought about how she had done such an embarrassing thing in high school. As he flipped through, he came to Xie Ling's page, which was filled with words. Autumn Beam immediately closed the yearbook. She didn't want to look at it, and she had never seen it before. She wanted these words to be with Xie Ling, forever in her mind.
Autumn Beam fell asleep in satisfaction, quietly fantasizing about the future. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, they walked along the winding path with the same pace as her…
