Chapter XXIII
Jiangnan
South of a river, reminiscing about the past.
The green hair of many generations, soon stepped on the footprints.
Ziyu willows, riverside Yiyi.
Always by his side, until death do not change.
On the green mountains in the distance, insects and birds were chirping.
Love the spring breeze, blowing all over the green fields.
I'm so proud of myself,
He was so proud!
I don't doubt that the dream is just like the painting.
It's hard to leave, tender as water.
I don't want to compete with the stars, but I want to be a swallow.
There is a time to abandon and disperse, and we must return together.
--Xiao Lin to Bai Bingying
After sending Bai Bingying to the train station, Xiao Lin stood outside the entrance and watched them walk in. Sitting alone in the taxi on the way back to school, Xiao Lin felt empty in his heart. He looked at the traffic flow outside the window without any emotion and just watched indifferently.
It wasn't because Xiao Lin couldn't bear to part with her. He knew that there was no reason for him to stop or delay Bai Bingying's return. However, everything seemed to have happened too quickly. In the blink of an eye, she had left him. Two months was not a short period of time. What if it was four years later? Xiao Lin didn't want to think so much, but his thoughts kept dragging him along.
Bai Bingying was a very emotional girl. Xiao Lin guessed that it was because he was her first love that she poured all her feelings into this place. Even though she was occasionally willful, she was never good at hiding her emotions.
In Xiao Lin's eyes, she was more of a little sister who needed his protection. Before they parted ways, Bai Bingying was still chatting and laughing with her best friends. She was hugging Xiao Lin, and her voice was a little choked as she nodded in agreement. She would definitely take good care of herself at home. She would not let herself fall sick or catch a cold. When she turned around, she was still secretly rubbing her eyes. How much did she miss the north and south that were separated by thousands of miles?
Not long after they parted ways, Bai Bingying called Xiao Lin and told him in a cheerful tone that the train had already set off. She asked how long it would take for Xiao Lin to reach school. Xiao Lin replied with a smile. He was in a taxi and would be able to reach the school very soon. He reminded her not to play too late on the train and to rest early. If she was not used to sleeping in the train's sleeping berth and could not sleep, she must let him know. He would send her a voice message and sing for her. Bai Bingying obediently agreed and hung up.
Xiao Lin returned to the dormitory. Only Yang Yu and Zhou Xiaobo were in the dormitory. Li Feng's bed and desk were tidied up, and his computer was taken away. "Brother Yu, where is Li Feng? Have you gone home?" Xiao Lin sat on the chair and asked.
"You still know how to care about him. You don't even know when he left. Before Li Feng pulled his suitcase out, he didn't forget to let us know.”Yang Yu said unhappily.
Xiao Lin had to admit that ever since he got together with Bai Bingying, he had spent most of his time and energy on her. He wasn't as attentive to his brothers and classmates as he used to be. But after all, in the teenage years, love was more important than friendship.
"Don't be like this, Brother Yu. I didn't do it on purpose. I sent my girlfriend back tonight. Isn't it a coincidence? When you and Brother Bo go back, I'll definitely send you off, okay?”
"That's more like it. We'll have to trouble you to help us carry our luggage tomorrow morning.”Yang Yu reluctantly forgave Xiao Lin. In fact, Xiao Lin knew that Yang Yu was just joking. His purpose was to remind him to care more about others, so he didn't mind at all and readily agreed. He walked out of the dormitory and wanted to look for Xu Zeng.
Originally, Xu Zeng had already finished his final exams, but he had not gone back to school. Xiao Lin entered the room and saw Xu Zeng sitting at the desk, writing something in his notebook. "Ah Zeng, what era is it now? Are you still writing love letters?”
"Take a seat first. It'll be ready soon.”Xu Zeng still had his head lowered. Xiao Lin rarely saw him working so hard, so he didn't disturb him. He casually took out a book from his desk and flipped through it at will.
"Alright, let me show you the script of a micro-movie that our television station is preparing to shoot this summer.”Xu Zeng said with a sigh of relief. He handed the script to Xiao Lin. On the cover, it said " Brothers." Xiao Lin took it and roughly read it.
"I'd better watch the micro movie you guys have made.”Xiao Lin said as he handed it back to Xu Zeng." Are you going to stay in school during the summer vacation?”
Xu Zeng shook his head and said," You have to go outside to shoot a movie. You won't be staying on campus most of the time. Didn't you say that you're staying here during the summer vacation?" What are you doing?"
"I want to free up some time to plan for the International Business Club's recruitment for the next semester and read a few books.”Xiao Lin explained," Yuanguang, where's Ruixu and the rest? Wenhao is going home."
At noon yesterday, Xu Zeng and Xiao Lin sent Xie Wenhao to the bus station to return to Ganzhou. Zhao Ruixu and Zhao Yuanguang had been busy with their final exams, so Xiao Lin didn't get to see them, so he didn't know the details.
"If you didn't mention Yuanguang, I almost forgot to tell you that he came to the sixth building tonight. He was going to look for you in your dormitory, but I told him that you weren't there.”Xiao Lin guessed that Bai Bingying's best friend must have told Xu Zeng.
"Give Ruixu a call and see where he is.”Xiao Lin left his phone in the dormitory to charge. After saying that, he left and went to the bathroom.
Seeing Xiao Lin push open the door and poke his head out, Xu Zeng shook his head and said that Zhao Ruixu's phone was not picked up, and he did not know where he went. Xiao Lin wanted to take a shower first, and then he called him. He took the bath products and walked into the bathroom.
Xiao Lin, who was lying on the bed with his phone in his hand, finally forgot to call Zhao Ruixu because he was busy replying to Bai Bingying's text message. "I just came back from the shower. I'm not tired. What were they playing? Were the three of them happy together?”
"Sing for me. I put on my headphones. They're all sleeping.”Bai Bingying replied via WeChat. Xiao Lin could imagine that the lights in the sleeping compartment must have been switched off long ago. Her best friends were all asleep, leaving her alone in the unfamiliar darkness. She was a little lonely, and she needed someone to accompany her. Although he couldn't be by her side, at least he could spend the night with her.
When it was almost midnight, Bai Bingying said that she was very sleepy and wanted to sleep. At this time, Xiao Lin could barely open his eyes. In a daze, he placed his phone on the bed and fell asleep after a while.
Xiao Lin didn't know what time it was in the middle of the night, but he seemed to remember waking up once. He even turned on his phone to check if there was a message from Bai Bingying, but he didn't have a deep impression of it. It was as if it had happened in a dream, and Xiao Lin wasn't even sure if he had woken up in the end.
In the morning, Xiao Lin woke up when he heard Zhou Xiaobo wake up. It was not because Zhou Xiaobo made too much noise, but because he felt that he did not sleep very deeply. The first thing Xiao Lin did when he woke up was to fumble for his phone on the bedside table. He unlocked the screen and saw that there was a missed call and a text message from Bai Bingying. The time displayed was around three in the morning.
Xiao Lin sighed. He blamed himself for sleeping so soundly that he didn't even hear the phone ringing beside his ear. Or was he actually awake at that time? Xiao Lin didn't know. He looked at Bai Bingying's message." Pig head, you slept so soundly. You said you would wake up if I called you. Liar."”Xiao Lin felt a little guilty and smiled helplessly. He wanted to call Bai Bingying, but he was worried that she was still asleep, so he dialed Yuanyuan's number.
"Yuanyuan, are you guys up? Where's Bingying?" Xiao Lin asked anxiously.
"Shuyu and I woke up. Bingying just fell asleep not long ago.”Yuanyuan said.
"I'm just worried that she didn't sleep well last night. When she wakes up, ask her to call me back. Thank you.”
Xiao Lin thought about sending Yang Yu and the others off and planned to make a trip to the academy to look for Teacher Cheng Wenjing and listen to her arrangements for the summer vacation.
Accompanying Yang Yu and Zhou Xiaobo, they had breakfast at the Changsheng Garden cafeteria. Xiao Lin sent them to Sanqiao to wait for the bus. After getting on the bus, Xiao Lin waved goodbye to Yang Yu and Zhou Xiaobo. Xiao Lin walked back alone. There were a lot of people going home now, with suitcases in their hands or backpacks on their backs. There were many taxis and vans parked beside the school aisle. The drivers shouted their prices to attract passengers. This was probably the busiest time on campus before summer vacation.
Xiao Lin stood outside the office door and knocked on the door. When he saw Teacher Cheng Wenjing beckoning him to come in, Xiao Lin walked in.
"Teacher, this is the registration form for our class. We finished the exam yesterday.”Xiao Lin said as he handed over the printed form and placed it on Teacher Cheng's computer desk.
"You have to understand the situation in the class well. We require every class monitor to be the last to leave the school. You have to remember to remind all the dormitory leaders in your class to close the doors and windows, cut off the power, and take fire precautions when they leave the school. At the same time, he also told them to pay attention to their personal safety at home or when they were traveling during the summer vacation.”Xiao Lin stood at the side and nodded, listening to Teacher Cheng's teachings seriously.
"Yes, teacher." Xiao Lin agreed.
"How did you do in the final exam? The class's exam style and discipline are good, right?" Teacher Cheng changed her tone and asked Xiao Lin in an approachable manner.
"Teacher, I might have failed my 'intensive reading' class. I originally wanted to copy from someone else, but in the end, I didn't succeed. The others in the class are fine.”Xiao Lin answered truthfully.
"It's good that you failed your subjects. Who asked you to not go to class usually? Your teacher often mentioned you to me. You're also absent and truant.”
Xiao Lin had thought that Teacher Cheng would help him speak up and ask the academy's exam marking teacher to loosen up a little. In the end, it seemed that he still had to take a make-up exam, and he felt a little disappointed. However, when the final results were released online, Xiao Lin was surprised to find that he didn't fail any of the subjects. Among them, the teacher of the intensive reading course gave him the highest score, a full score of 30. Xiao Lin couldn't use words to thank Teacher Cheng for this surprise.
After school, there were fewer and fewer people in the school for the next few days. Other than the seniors who were about to enter the fourth year of university to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination and the civil service examination, most of the students had left. During the summer vacation, the school only opened the Changsheng Garden cafeteria. The students gathered most during mealtime every day. Other times, there were only a few people, making the huge campus seem a little lonely.
At first, Xiao Lin was not used to such days. When he returned to the dormitory after self-study at night, he would always take out his own key to open the door and turn on the lights. The corridor was empty, and there was not a single person in sight. Fortunately, his internet connection would not be disconnected. If he was not particularly tired every day, and Bai Bingying happened to be free, Xiao Lin would always video chat with her to comfort his loneliness.
After taking a shower, Xiao Lin sat in front of the computer, sorting out the matters regarding the recruitment of new students for the next semester. He clicked on the music icon with his mouse and turned off the song that was playing, concentrating on thinking.
1. Target. In order for the International Business Club to be established in the International Education Institute, the freshmen of the Institute must first have some understanding of the Business Club. Secondly, they should look forward to the entire school and ensure that the club left a good first impression on the freshmen.
2. Promotion. It was divided into two parts: hardware, media, and online publicity. The hardware included banners, posters, and single-page advertisements for freshmen when they entered the school. The information received by the recipient was very direct and the effect was obvious. Online publicity was to continuously repost and repeat relevant information through some media to attract the attention of new students. For example, QQ groups, Weibo, forums, and so on.
3. Team building. To strengthen the integrity and image of the existing team.
Just as Xiao Lin was about to type, he saw a QQ video invitation on the bottom right corner of his computer. It was from Bai Bingying. Xiao Lin didn't hesitate and clicked 'Accept'. In the video, Bai Bingying was wearing pink pajamas, and there was an auntie sitting next to her. Xiao Lin guessed that it was Bai Bingying's mother, so he greeted her politely," Good evening, auntie."”Remembering that she was still half-naked, she said awkwardly," I'm sorry, Auntie. I just took a shower. Wait a minute, I'll get dressed."”Xiao Lin hurriedly pulled off the jersey hanging on the hanger and covered himself.
"You guys continue chatting. I'll go to the hall to take care of the guests.”Bai Bingying's mother left with a smile.
"Look, you're so nervous. Mom just wants to see you.”Bai Bingying said as she nibbled on an apple.
"Auntie, is she still coming in?" Seeing Bai Bingying shake her head, Xiao Lin took off his jersey again." It's too hot in the dorm. I'll take off my clothes."”
"Are there still many people in school? Are you afraid of being alone?" Bai Bingying asked.
"Even if I'm the only one living in the school, I won't be afraid.”Xiao Lin said that on purpose. In fact, he had turned the lights on until midnight the previous few nights. Later on, because the lights were too dazzling, he had to get up and turn off the lights." Besides, as long as I think of you, I'm not alone.”
"You only know how to make me happy. Let me tell you something. Last night, because of you, Dad and I were unhappy. Dad knew that you were from the south. He said very seriously that he didn't approve of us dating. He also said that no matter how outstanding you were, you couldn't do it unless you chose to work in Ji Lin in the future. But would you come?”Seeing her innocent expression, Xiao Lin couldn't bear to blame her for thinking too much. How could the future be clear at this moment?
"Are you stupid? Uncle is definitely joking with you. Don't take it to heart.”Although Xiao Lin said so, as a father, her father's considerations were indeed correct. He only had Bai Bingying as his only daughter, so how could he allow her to marry to Jiangxi, which was thousands of miles away? However, Xiao Lin didn't think that far ahead. It wasn't that he was irresponsible towards Bai Bingying or that he wasn't serious about relationships. He just felt that it was too early to talk about it.
"No, at that time, I insisted that I didn't want it. Dad's expression was very ugly. In the past, Dad would never be like this. I hid in my room and ignored him for the entire day.”Bai Bingying's serious expression didn't seem like she was joking.
"You can't do this. Yingying, Uncle is doing this for your own good. Didn't they say that a daughter was her father's lover in her previous life? Uncle definitely loves you. Moreover, I don't want you and uncle to be unhappy because of me. Promise me that you won't be angry with uncle anymore, okay?”Xiao Lin tried his best to comfort her, but she didn't say anything.
Xiao Lin continued to persuade her," Yingying, I really hope that I can stay in the north in the future. I can step on ice skates in winter and ice sculptures are very beautiful. Everything is so crystal clear…"
"You mean you will consider coming to the North in the future, right?”Bai Bingying danced with joy as she said," I'm going to apologize to Dad right now. I shouldn't have contradicted him.”Bai Bingying jumped out of the room like a child.
Not long after, Bai Bingying ran in excitedly and said to Xiao Lin on the screen,"Dad, he forgave me and is no longer angry with me.”
After chatting with Bai Bingying, Xiao Lin found it hard to concentrate, so he simply finished watching a comedy movie, washed up, and went to bed.
When he woke up in the morning, he walked to the balcony. The weather was good, and Xiao Lin was in a good mood. He moved a chair to the corridor and sat down with his computer. He opened the folder that he had not sorted out yesterday. Xiao Lin was not satisfied with it, so he deleted it and edited a new Word document.

As Xiao Lin typed, he felt a little hungry. He looked at the time displayed below the computer and realized that it was already past ten in the morning. He was even hungrier when he thought about how he hadn't eaten breakfast. He saved the document and put the computer on the desk to charge it. Then, he took the basin to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.
When he returned to the dormitory, he pushed open the door and entered. He heard his phone ring. Xiao Lin quickly walked over and took the phone. It was a call from Father Xiao. Xiao Lin hesitated for a moment. Father Xiao usually wouldn't call Xiao Lin unless there was something special. Unless he was drunk, but it was still morning. Xiao Lin swiped to answer the call, but he only listened and did not say anything.
"Hello, Linlin, can you hear me? It's Mommy." Hearing Mother Xiao's gentle voice, Xiao Lin immediately felt much more at ease.
"Mom, why didn't you call me with your phone?”Xiao Lin asked in surprise.
"I was playing a Mini games on your father's phone just now.”Mother Xiao explained,"Is it okay to be alone in school? Is it hot at home?"
"Mom, don't worry. I'm fine. What are you and Dad busy with?" Xiao Lin knew that Mother Xiao would definitely talk for another half an hour. He had no choice. Mothers were all like this.
"Today is your aunt's birthday. We're on the way to her house. Remember to call her and wish her a happy birthday.”Mother Xiao said.
"Okay, Mom." Xiao Lin replied.
"Linlin, you have to take good care of yourself in school. Don't let Dad and Mom worry. The weather was hot, so he had to eat more fruits and drink more water. Did he still have enough money? If it's not enough, I'll transfer some to you.”Mother Xiao said with concern, but she seemed to have forgotten that she had already sent money to Xiao Lin last month.
"Mom, I'll tell you if I don't have money. Besides, your son has always had a plan under your wise guidance.”Xiao Lin praised Mother Xiao.
"You only know how to make Mom happy. Wait a minute, I'll pass the phone to your dad.”There was a pause in her voice." It's our son. Do you want to say a few words?”
Xiao Lin held his breath as he listened to their conversation."I'm driving. Just tell me. Ask Xiao Lin when he'll be coming to Kunming so that I can help him book a plane ticket."”Father Xiao was still so rough.
"Your father asked when you're coming over from school. He's worried about you staying in school alone.”Mother Xiao tried to ease the long-standing conflict between the father and son.
Xiao Lin pretended not to hear Father Xiao's voice." Mom, I'll tell you before I come. Be careful on the way to my aunt's house. I'm going to study now. I'll call you later."”Mother Xiao hung up the phone.
She had been in school for more than 20 days. Every day was ordinary but extremely fulfilling, doing what she liked. Although Xiao Lin was lonely, he was not alone. With Father Xiao and Mother Xiao's concern, his sister, Xiao Ya, would often call to chat with him. He would also accompany his girlfriend, Bai Bingying, almost every day. The few brothers did not forget to keep in touch. The most important thing was that Xiao Lin felt that he had gained a lot and a sense of accomplishment during this summer vacation.
He had finished reading the eight literary works he had borrowed from the library. Although he had not fully understood them, he had broadened his horizons and improved his literary cultivation. It could be considered as making up for the regret of not reading a book properly during the year of university.
Xiao Lin had a good plan for the recruitment of the international business club. He was waiting for the next semester to implement it. He was confident that he could make the club a success.
After the ascetic summer school life, Xiao Lin came to Kunming, the Dream City, and fully enjoyed the fun of summer vacation. It was relaxed, free, and a sense of security and intimacy with his family by his side.
