Chapter X
University, where are you?
When there is a gap between reality and dreams
How many times have I mustered up the courage
Looking for the original intention of the dream
But what I can't escape is the ending
lost myself
The Rebellion of Revival
early morning
The feeling of being half-awake
where I am
University, where are you?
Tell me never to leave
The passion of that year's struggle
When staying up late is no longer pure, smiling, no longer naive
Even the sadness is no longer invested
My nature can't adapt to your rhythm
lose too much
irreparable
Promise me my future
now, four years later
University, where are you hiding?
Why do I have to search for you so hard?
My choices and my dreams
I won't give up on myself
Tomorrow I will be myself
irreplaceable
I won't give up on college
"Hey, Yi-ge, wait a moment. I'll go outside the dorm.”Xiao Lin took his phone and walked out of the door." What's the matter, Brother Yi?”
"Xiao Lin, you brat, don't pretend in front of me. You know very well why I'm looking for you. Let me ask you, did you tell Wang Haoyan that I asked you to quit the service station?”Wu Yi asked angrily.
Xiao Lin had indeed told Station Chief Wang Haoyan about this. Once, when they were having dinner together, Wang Haoyan told Xiao Lin about his conflict with Wu Yi. Originally, it was set that the next station master would be Wu Yi. Now, Wu Yi could only be the assistant station master in his second year. He could only take on the position of station master in his third year. This was the hidden rule of all clubs and organizations.
However, the party member service station of the Institute of International Education had recently changed its instructor, and Wu Yi had not been able to get along well with the instructor. The instructor was adamant that Wang Haoyan had appointed Wu Yi as the next station chief. Wu Yi mistakenly thought that it was because of Wang Haoyan that he wanted to replace him, so he was still holding a grudge against Wang Haoyan and the party member service station.
Wu Yi knew that he had to leave, but he wasn't willing to accept it. He wanted to persuade all the juniors who were close to him to leave so that he could take revenge on Wang Haoyan.
Wu Yi found out that the original party member service station had decided that he would be the next station chief, and Xiao Lin would be the next station chief behind him. Xiao Lin had outstanding personal ability and maintained a good relationship with Wang Haoyan. He was also very familiar with the students of the same batch. The main instructor was more optimistic about Xiao Lin, and Wu Yi wanted Xiao Lin to quit the party member service station.
Xiao Lin told Wang Haoyan about this. After Wang Haoyan found out, he was especially angry. He had asked Wu Yi to publicly apologize to all the members of the party service station during the meeting. This made Wu Yi feel insulted. However, he didn't know that it was Xiao Lin who told Wang Haoyan. It was just a guess.
"Brother Yi, calm down first. If you're so emotional, it'll affect our communication.”Xiao Lin said calmly.
"Xiao Lin, are you a man? If you're my grandson, then just admit it. Let's forget about this matter.”Wu Yi said relentlessly.
When Xiao Lin heard that, he was furious." Wu Yi, please don't be so arrogant. Calling you Brother Yi is respect for you. I was the one who said it.”
Wu Yi hesitated for a few seconds. Perhaps he didn't expect Xiao Lin to admit it." Xiao Lin, you have guts. Let me ask you, are you going to quit the party member service station or not?" If you retreat, then we'll pretend that nothing happened in the past.”
At this moment, Xiao Lin realized that Wu Yi wasn't trying to find out whether he had told Wang Haoyan about this. He just wanted Xiao Lin to leave the party to take revenge on Wang Haoyan.
"Brother Hao Yan has treated me quite well. I won't quit. Even if I do, it won't be because of you.”Xiao Lin said.
"Alright, I'll tell you now. It doesn't matter who I am. The key is that you have to know who my father is. Not to mention you, Xiao Lin, a foreigner, even if it was Wang Haoyan from Nanchang, if I really wanted to mess with him, it would be my father's word. You'd better be smart. I'll ask you one last time. Are you going to retreat or not? Give me a straightforward answer.”Wu Yi shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Hahaha, Wu Yi, no matter who your father is, I'm telling you clearly that I won't quit.”Xiao Lin felt that he was really too funny and couldn't help but sneer.
"Xiao Lin, we've already made things very clear. From today onwards, I don't want to see you wherever I am.”Before Wu Yi could finish, Xiao Lin hung up the phone.
Before entering university, Xiao Lin had heard from his high school classmates that university was actually a small society. Friendship was not as pure as high school, and there were all kinds of relationships. At first, Xiao Lin didn't think of it this way, but reality was so cruel that it seemed to be constantly hitting his fantasies and longing heart. A bucket of cold water poured on his enthusiasm.
Even though he wasn't really good friends with Wu Yi, other than Han Fawen and Yang Xiaoyun, Wu Yi was still a senior whom he had interacted with earlier in university. Yet, he actually fell out with him over such a small matter. Other than saying that Wu Yi was indeed a little narrow-minded, one had to admit that university friendships were indeed fragile.
At this moment, Xiao Lin felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart and wanted to find someone to confide in. The first person she thought of was Mother Xiao. Since he was young, no matter what grievances he had suffered outside, Mother Xiao would always listen patiently and advise her son.
However, Xiao Lin didn't know how to tell Mother Xiao. Mother Xiao was far away in Yunnan. Did she have to worry about him? However, Xiao Lin felt really uncomfortable.
Xiao Lin then called Mother Xiao, but no one picked up. Xiao Lin returned to the dormitory and slammed the door. Yang Yu and the others didn't know what had happened. They asked Xiao Lin, but Xiao Lin didn't tell them. He was just sulking alone. Yang Yu knew that Xiao Lin was unhappy, so he didn't ask further.
Xiao Lin picked up the basin and ran to the sink without any shampoo. Turning on the tap, the cold tap water rushed to the back of Xiao Lin's head, stimulating his scalp. It made Xiao Lin sober up quite a bit. His anger dissipated by more than half, and he regained some rationality.
"Xiao Lin, Auntie called.”Zhou Xiaobo ran over with Xiao Lin's phone and said," Auntie, wait a moment. Xiao Lin is washing his hair."”
Xiao Lin used a dry towel to wipe the wet hair around his ears and took the phone from Zhou Xiaobo's hand.
"Linlin, Mommy and your dad were in the living room with his friend just now. Their phones are in the bedroom. Why did you think of calling Mommy?”Mother Xiao said.
Hearing Mother Xiao's words, Xiao Lin thought about it. He hadn't called home for a long time, so he couldn't say anything. "Mom, I just miss you."
"Linlin, I saw the weather forecast. Has it been raining in Nanchang recently? You have to be careful not to get your clothes wet or catch a cold.”Mother Xiao said with concern.
"Mom, I'm not a child. How can I get wet from the rain? Don't worry.”
"No matter how old you are, you're still a child in my eyes. I'm just worried about you being alone in Nanchang. Also, if you have time, give your dad a call.”
"I know, Mom. Isn't Dad accompanying a friend? I'll call back in two days. Mom, you have to take care of yourself. I'm going to read.”Xiao Lin was afraid that Mother Xiao would notice if he continued.
In the next few days, Xiao Lin was always in low spirits. He would skip class and play games all night. Even when Senior Wang Haoyan looked for him several times, Xiao Lin would always find all kinds of reasons to reject him. Either he didn't have time, or he wasn't in school, and he didn't care about class work.
That night, Xiao Lin was playing games again when Xu Zeng, Zhao Yuanguang, Zhao Ruixu, and Xie Wenhao knocked on the door and walked in. Xu Zeng saw that Xiao Lin was playing a game. He walked forward and turned off the laptop without saying anything.
Xu Zeng pointed at Xiao Lin's nose and said," Look at you now. Is this still the Xiao Lin we know?" How decadent they were. You don't have to say anything. We all know.”
It turned out that Zhou Xiaobo was sitting behind the door that night and happened to overhear the conversation between Xiao Lin and Wu Yi, although it was only a rough idea. However, from Xiao Lin's mental state these few days, he guessed that Xiao Lin must have been bullied.
Xiao Lin was usually a heartless person. He would rarely be sad or depressed. He would be so depressed for four to five days, or even a week. Zhou Xiaobo told Xu Zeng what he knew, and Xu Zeng called his brothers over.
"Xiao Lin, if he bullies you, he will only bully his brothers. Tell me, what do you want to do to him?”Xie Wenhao said directly.
"Not to mention that his father is just a small traffic bureau chief, so what if he's the director of the Public Security Bureau?”Xiao Lin admired Zhao Ruixu for knowing so much.
"Xiao Lin, call him now and tell him the time and place. Ask him out for a chat and tell him that as long as you are around in the future, he will disappear.”Zhao Yuanguang picked up Xiao Lin's phone and said," Call him now."”
Xu Zeng directly snatched the phone away." Let Xiao Lin call my ass. I'll call him. What's that person's name again? Wu Yi. He's so f * cking heartless." Since he's so heartless, we don't need to show him any mercy. If he doesn't care about Xiao Lin calling him father, I won't let him off.”Xu Zeng's last sentence amused everyone. Xu Zeng pointed at his mouth and made everyone quiet down.
"Hello, Brother Yi, who am I? Of course you don't know me, but I'm Xiao Lin's buddy. I used Xiao Lin's phone to call you.”Xu Zeng said politely," Brother Yi, when do you have time? I want to ask you out for a drink and chat."”
"I don't have time recently." She turned on the speaker and heard Wu Yi's voice.
"Brother Yi, you're not giving me face. Since you don't have time, we can only come to your dormitory to look for you. However, I'll say it first. When the time comes, don't say that your brother made you lose face in front of your peers.”Xu Zeng said calmly.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush with me.”Wu Yi said.
"I'll do it. Why are you talking so much nonsense with him?”Zhao Ruixu took the phone from Xu Zeng's hands." Wu Yi, listen to me now. I know that your father is the director of the Nanchang Transportation Bureau. You piece of trash, do you know who I am? Listen, I'm Zhao Ruixu. I don't want my parents to interfere in this matter. The day after tomorrow at nine o'clock on the second floor of the cafeteria. If you don't come, you can deal with the consequences yourself.”
Zhao Ruixu hung up the phone and said to Xiao Lin," The day after tomorrow, we'll sit two rows behind you. If he dares to fight back, we'll make sure he doesn't walk out of the cafeteria."”
On the night of the day after tomorrow, Xiao Lin sat two rows away from Zhao Ruixu and the others, waiting for Wu Yi.
Wu Yi walked in from the stairs. Xiao Lin glanced at his watch. He was five minutes early. Wu Yi was followed by two boys who were about 1.8 meters tall. The two boys looked around at every corner of the cafeteria and whispered a few words into Wu Yi's ears. Wu Yi nodded. Xiao Lin guessed that the person must have told Wu Yi that he saw Xu Zeng and the others playing with their tablets.
Wu Yi and the other two walked towards Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin sat down and gestured for Wu Yi to sit down." Brother Yi, I'll call you Brother Yi today."”
"Xiao Lin, look, it's already been so long.”Wu Yi lowered his head and said.
"Not long, Brother Yi. You really are forgetful. This happened a week ago, and I still remember the scene vividly.”Xiao Lin said.
"Xiao Lin, let me apologize to you. I was too impulsive that day.”Wu Yi seemed to have lost his arrogance from that night.
"Brother Yi, what are you doing? How can a grandfather apologize to his grandson?”
"Xiao Lin, don't go too far. Brother Yi has already apologized to you.”The boy that Wu Yi brought over stood up and wanted to pull Wu Yi away, but Wu Yi flung his hand away.
"Brother Yi, it's not that I'm too much, but my brothers can't stand it. Do you think a simple 'sorry' can solve all the problems?”Xiao Lin said.
"Then tell me, how should we resolve this matter?”
"Go and get a bottle of white wine." Xiao Lin pointed at a boy beside Wu Yi and said.
The boy hesitated for a moment and was reprimanded by Wu Yi."Go get it. Why are you standing here?”
The white wine was brought over. Wu Yi politely handed the bottle to Xiao Lin, mistakenly thinking that Xiao Lin wanted him to buy a bottle of wine for him.
"Brother Yi, words that are said are like water that has been spilled. However, if you finish this bottle of wine, I'll treat it as you drank too much that night and said nothing but bullsh * t.”
At this moment, the two boys brought by Wu Yi were so angry that they could not sit still. They stood up as if they were waiting for Wu Yi to give them a beating.
Wu Yi hurriedly stopped them." Alright, Xiao Lin, you said that as long as I drink the wine, you won't pursue the matter anymore, okay?”
Xiao Lin nodded in agreement.
Wu Yi raised the bottle and gulped down half of the bottle. He even had a mouthful in his mouth. He swallowed it with a complicated expression on his face. In less than five seconds, he immediately vomited. The vomit was really disgusting.
"Xiao Lin, I, Wu Yi, have let you down. Please forgive me.”Wu Yi went limp. If not for the boy beside him pulling him, he would have knelt down to Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin covered his nose and said," If you knew this would happen, why did you do it? People like you will be taught a lesson sooner or later. You're so arrogant."”Then, he asked the two boys to drag him back.
Xu Zeng, Zhao Ruixu, Xie Wenhao, and Zhao Yuanguang walked forward happily.
"This is our good brother. That kind of person deserves it. We won't provoke others or bully others, but no one can make us unhappy.”Xu Zeng patted Xiao Lin's shoulder and said.
"Beautiful, Xiao Lin." Xie Wenhao gave him a thumbs up.
The next day, Xiao Lin called his brothers to a bar to play for the night. Xiao Lin felt that there would still be true friendships in university. As long as you put your heart into it, those true friends would not ignore you when you were abandoned or bullied by others.
Although the university was a small society, not all the people in the university were people from society. Only when you didn't give up on yourself would others not give up on you. That was why Xiao Lin didn't give up on university.
