Chapter 5 Li Xiaoman
My alma mater has not changed much compared with the past. What has changed is only the people who come and go, imprinting an unforgettable memory with four years of youth.
Under the shade, by the grass, some juniors are reading quietly, very harmonious and quiet. Ye Fan and others feel as if they have returned to the past, away from the impetuousness and noise they have experienced in the past three years.
After graduation, everyone was busy for life and ideals. Many people were far away from the city. Except for a limited number of people such as Ye Fan, almost everyone else returned to their alma mater for the first time.
The small lake not far away is gently rippled, and the scenery is still the same. I still clearly remember the scene of those melancholy decadent or radiant figures holding guitars and singing campus folk songs by the lakeside.
Even after many years, whenever the melody sounds, it always reminds people of the carefree era of innocence. The faint sadness makes people sad and sweet, and it is easy to touch people's hearts.
The precipitation of years will always leave a little sour taste.
I just don't know if those people can still pick up the guitar and sing now, and it is difficult to find their where to go after graduation.
"I vaguely heard from my friend that the melancholy guitar master sang in a bar in another city, and it was a lot of vicissitudes in the past few years."
"Do you remember the versatile long-legged sister of the school band, a very beautiful and pure lead singer, who is said to be drinking in a nightclub now."
Everyone can only let out a sigh.
After graduation, many people have encountered the impact of ideals and realization. Sometimes life is really helpless, which makes people feel frustrated and confused.
After a short silence, everyone continued to walk forward.
At this time, Lin Jia came to Ye Fan's side.
She wears a blue and white chiffon dress, with the hem of the skirt to her thighs, which makes her two slender legs more white and touching. She tied a black belt, which made her waist softer. Her long hair was scattered on her plump chest, and her body was curvy.
Beautiful face, snow-white skin, strange Danfeng eyes slightly slanted upwards, Lin Jia's whole body has a special temperament.
"There is a car, why didn't you tell me yesterday?"
"I don't have a chance to say it."
"Don't you invite me to take your car today?"
"I'm very happy. I solemnly invite Miss Lin Jia here."
At this point, both of them laughed.
Lin Jia abruptly clicked on what happened yesterday, but she walked around lightly. She didn't say anything more because of what happened yesterday, let alone deliberately lower her posture to bring the relationship closer.
After saying this, she turned around and left with a smile. Lin Jia is a smart woman. She knows that it is not good to be too deliberate. That will only appear false, and it is far better to be directly with nature.
This subtle change naturally happened to some other students.
When they left their alma mater, it was almost noon. Everyone came to the food street and climbed to the restaurant building.
Wang Ziwen privately asked Ye Fan to sit at their table. Ye Fan just smiled and toasted a few glasses and still sat with those people yesterday.
"Ye Fan, don't mind if I was drunk yesterday. I'll give you a toast, do it first..." The male classmate who said that his fiancee was the niece of a bank executive, taught Ye Fan yesterday, but today he tried his best to explain yesterday's events in a low posture.
And the female classmate who said that her husband had been promoted to the vice president of the company also changed her posture yesterday and was polite to Ye Fan.
"Come on, come on, everyone, let's drink together."
......
Compared with yesterday, Ye Fan's table looks very lively today. Everyone keeps clinking glasses, and from time to time, people from other tables come to toast. And Ye Fan naturally couldn't shiver. He clinked glasses with people in a row, and even drank a cup one by one with the people who came from Wang Ziwen's table.
Liu Yunzhi is very calm. Although he was embarrassed yesterday, there is no wave in the ancient well today. He can't see anything strange, as if nothing has happened.
"Gentlemen, I received a phone call last night from the other side of the ocean..."
The speaker is Zhou Yi, a very elegant young man. It is rumored that he has a deep family background, and it is no longer a secret among his classmates. Yesterday, Wang Ziwen was the one who was waiting to meet outside Mingyue City on the sea.
Everyone stopped and looked at Zhou Yi. Whether he was in school or now, he was very easy-going and never made people feel arrogant.
Zhou Yi said a piece of news that the three students studying on the other side of the ocean had left to return to China, which immediately made the students present have a heated discussion.
......
"After graduation, we are different from each other. Everyone has their own different life trajectories, and it is not easy to get together. When we meet again, maybe we are all fathers and mothers, and I don't know how many years will pass by then. Three students studying abroad are going back to China. I have a proposal to extend this party a little..."
※※※※※
Ye Fan drove home, made a cup of light green tea, and quietly looked at the sycamore tree outside the window. He remembered some past events.
The missed person, the departing footsteps, the drifting road, are like the sycamore leaves falling gently in front of them.
Li Xiaoman, this name has faded out of Ye Fan's memory for a long time.
When he graduated from college, Li Xiaoman went to study on the other side of the ocean. In the first few months, the two were still very close, but as time went by, the number of emails and phone calls gradually decreased, and finally the contact was completely cut off.
It is not so much to look at each other across the sea as to forget each other across the sea. A love that was not favored by friends came to an end as expected.
Today, I learned from Zhou Yi that Li Xiaoman was about to return to China. When Ye Fan first heard the name, he even felt a little strange. Looking back, it has been more than two years.
※※※※※
The time of the party has been extended, and we will visit Mount Tai. All the expenses will be paid by Wang Ziwen, Zhou Yi and others. For ordinary people, this may be a lot of money, but for them, it is nothing.
Three days later, Ye Fan saw the familiar figure again at the foot of Mount Tai. Three years later, Li Xiaoman is still graceful and beautiful, and has not changed much.
She can be 170 centimeters tall, wearing a pair of sunglasses, and her long black hair fluttering in the wind, standing there. Her dress is simple, casual and cool. Her lower body is a pair of shorts above her knees. Her beautiful legs are white, slender and touching, and her upper body is a T-shirt with a cartoon pattern.
Li Xiaoman is undoubtedly very beautiful. Her skin is white and tender, her eyes are big, her eyelashes are very long, and she looks very aura. She is not public but confident.
She calmly talked to her classmates around her and obviously became a central figure, but it could make people feel kind.
There is a tall young man beside Li Xiaoman. According to the introduction, he is her American classmate. Compared with the soft and smooth face of the Orientals, he has a typical Western face, which is very three-dimensional. The bridge of his nose is high, his blue eyes are slightly sunken, and his blonde hair is a little curly. In terms Handsome.
"Hon, I'm Kaide. I yearn for Mount Tai, and I can finally... see it." Although this American young man named Kaide is not very fluent, he is able to express his words clearly.
The other two students who have studied abroad and returned to China have already been surrounded by enthusiasm and are being asked about their life and study on the other side of the ocean.
After three years, Ye Fan saw Li Xiaoman again, with a feeling of space change and the passage of time.
Bothe two of them were calm and politely greeted each other. There was no joy after a long reunion. Some were just as plain as water, and even a faint taste.
Without too many words, pass by gently. There are some things that need not be said, and silence is a result.
