After all, he wasn't a student of the Chinese department. Even though he had the outline of a review, he still felt powerless when it came to studying. That night, he felt a headache from reading and walked to the basketball court near the school building.

There were many white poplar trees near the basketball court. Their leaves had almost fallen off. The yellow street light on the tall telegraph pole gave the poplar branches a picture of themselves on the ground, adding to the bleak atmosphere of the chilly night.

Keeping his head down, he stepped on the shadows of the branches under his feet and wandered aimlessly around the basketball court. In the distant brightly lit classroom, it became quieter and quieter, the irritation in his heart slowly receding. Qi Yuan let out a long sigh of relief and was about to head back when he heard two voices coming from the other side of the basketball court.

A male voice said, "After I graduate, I'll have to go back to my hometown. I'm the only child at home. My parents are too old for me to be far away from them."

A woman's voice said, "Then my family is just a child of mine. My parents aren't young anymore. They've raised me so hard, so I can't bear to stay too far away from them."

The male voice said, "Then what do you think we should do? The children of our two families are all only children, and neither of our parents can afford not to take care of them. "

The woman said, "How about we find a job and settle down in F City, which is the center of our two families."

There was no sound from behind the basketball court. They stood in the shadows, watching two figures holding hands as they slowly walked towards the school building. They let out a long sigh.

Xiao Rong will be taking the college entrance exam next year, the first and second year will be staying with Liu He for two years, so their basic knowledge will be very solid. Next year's college entrance exam will probably not have any problems, so after self-study, Liu He and Qi Xiang will go together to the dorm together. Liu He said, "Qi Zheng, tell me, do you think it's selfish for me to study for another three years as a graduate?"

Qi Yuan asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"

"My brother is currently in his third year of university, and my brother is about to go to high school. All three of the children in my family are in school, so they don't have the money to help support their families," Liu He said.

Qi Chao said, "Did your brother spend any money at home after he went to school? You siblings won't be able to spend that one hundred thousand, right? "

Liu He sighed and said, "My brother gave my mother 20,000 during the summer vacation. My mother said that after I graduate from our family next year, my days would be better."

Qi Xiang said, "I can't say much, I just feel that if you don't go to that three years of graduate school again, it will be a lifetime of loss for you. Liu He, since teacher said that and is so concerned about you, you also told teacher that you wanted to apply for his graduate school.

"I think so too, but I'm afraid that my family's finances are too tight for another three years," said Liu.

Qi Xiang said: "Liu He, how did we persuade your brother in the first place? You have to strengthen your conviction that this opportunity is too rare. "

After my grandmother was gone, my family's house fell to my uncle's name. My mother was too weak, my uncle said whatever he wanted to say, and my uncle said that as a girl, it would be better for me to come down early to earn some money for a good family. My mother told me to drop out of school, and if it wasn't for my brother stopping him from going back to work to make up for my family, I wouldn't even know what I look like now.

Qi Yuan patted Liu He's arm and said, "The reason we're going to school now is so that we can soar into the sky in the future. Liu He, it's not a bad thing for people to have more hardships when they're young, you have to look ahead and think about us sisters when things happen. I think everyone wants you to be Teacher Li's graduate student.

Liu He said, "I know that Teacher Li came back from Beijing for the sake of our family's old man. Qi Xiang, thank you. You've always treated me like this."

Qi Zhengyuan chuckled and said, "Don't be so touching, we're a group of classmates, it's only right for you to help me."

Because they were talking, the two of them walked rather slowly. It was already past nine o'clock, and they had yet to reach the cafeteria, and the street lamps on both sides of the curving concrete road scattered a circle of dim yellow light, and the two of them were illuminated one short, one short, one long. Occasionally, there would be a couple sitting on the stone bench by the roadside who would whisper to each other with their heads lowered.

After passing by a stone bench, a figure instantly scuttled in front of two people. Liu He was so frightened that he immediately grabbed onto Qi Zhengyuan's arm.

Under the light, a tall and thin figure, with his back facing the street light, whose expression could not be seen, stammered, "Greetings, Senior Sisters. I am a sophomore's junior. This … this is my gift to Senior Sister Liu He." With that, without waiting for Qi Zheng and Liu He's response, he threw a bag in his hand into Liu He's arms and ran.

Qi Yuan and Liu He looked at each other, then looked at the seemingly high-end paper handbag in Liu He's hands, and said in unison, "It's for you, quickly check if there's any paper or something inside."

Liu He looked at Qi Chang, whose eyes were flashing with the flames of gossip, and said helplessly: "Qi Xiang, I really don't know him."

Qi Xiang said, "How can you not know someone in such a short time when you don't know them? Quickly, look at what's written."

Liu He said, "You should give it back to her. It's not good to take her things like this."

While they walked, they said: "Then we still have to see what they are giving us. Quickly go, let's go back and see what they are."

It was almost ten o'clock, and everyone was washing up and sleeping. Qi Xiang grabbed Liu He with one hand, and with a bang with the other, opened the door, causing Song Shan, who was standing at the doorway, to jump in fright, seeing the excited Qi Cheng walking in front and the reluctant Liu He behind, she guessed that something interesting had happened, and did not pursue the rude way they opened the door, and asked Qi Chang with interest, "I promise you something good will happen, tell me quickly."

When the other workers heard Song Shan's words, they stopped what they were doing and gathered around to ask what had happened.

Qi Chang smiled and said: "On the way, we met a junior high school disciple who was giving presents to us, Liu He."

Liu said, "Did you say something that would make people blush and their hearts beat?"

Qi Xiang said, "It's a pity that he's so thick-skinned. He just gave us the stuff and ran away. I didn't see his face clearly, and I don't even know his name and class."

Chen Xiangyu said, "Hurry up and see what it is."

As he spoke, he took over the handbag in Liu He's hand. He first took out a small box with delicate packaging, then took out a pink envelope tied with a ribbon. Chen Xiangyu said, "Which one do you want to open first?"

Lili said, "Read the letter first, read the letter first."

Chen Xiangyu said, "Liuhe, I've already told you about the privacy of the underwear I wear every day. You definitely won't have any objections if we read your letter, right?"

Liu He said somewhat embarrassedly: "Then you can open it and take a look, but you have to help me send the things back."

Chen Xiangyu quickly opened the envelope, and a piece of light green stationery slid onto the large table in the dormitory.

After unfolding it, Chen Xiangyu first sighed, "Good calligraphy!"

Qi Yuan looked over at the silver-hook iron painting and thought to himself, 'It's really a good calligraphy piece.' He couldn't have been looking for someone else to write it down for him, right?

Chen Xiangyu held the letter and read, "Hello, Senior Sister Liu He!"

Li Li laughed and hit her in her chest as she spoke in a weird tone, "Read it carefully, how can you face the love and adoration of this junior brother of yours?"

Chen Xiangyu accepted Lily's suggestion with a smile, then continued to read, "This box of chocolate is for you, I hope you like it."

After Chen Xiangyu finished reciting this sentence, his expression turned a little odd. Lili anxiously said from the side, "Continue reciting it, why aren't you reciting it?"

Chen Xiangyu said, "That's all."

Lili didn't believe him. She took the piece of paper and said, "It's really true. There's an autograph on the back of it. Zhao Sichen, October 15, 2003."

Liu said, "What year?" He did not even say which year he was in. Liu He, this is a brotherly relationship. "

Song Shan said, "Maybe he went to school late. Didn't you see that all the children in the Chinese department are a few years old?"

Liu Xin said, "After all, there are only a few of them like this. Qi Chuan, look at his handsome appearance. Really, why didn't I go with you two? Maybe I can even tell which year he's from." "I'm not that handsome," Qi Chuan said with a smile on his face. "You're not handsome." "

Qi Xiang said, "I don't think he's in his third year. Let's try out the chocolate."

Liu He tried to stop them, "Don't, I still have to return it to them, can't I buy it for you tomorrow?"

Chen Xiangyu picked up the beautifully wrapped box and said, "Liuhe, this isn't easy to buy. If you want to treat us to this, you have to go to Hong Kong recently."

Liu He was stunned for a moment and said, "I'll buy some homemade chocolates for you guys tomorrow. When I'm out of the country, I'll bring some chocolate from overseas for you guys."

Chen Xiangyu put the box into his handbag and said, "Okay then, I'll wait for you to go abroad and bring it to us. We'll just return it to them."

Liu Xin said, "Liu He, why don't you consider it? Look, we're about to graduate. You haven't even been in a relationship before."

Liu He said, "You still haven't talked about it. I think you should go find a boyfriend and have a good date. I'm still thinking about studying and still want to continue hanging around the campus. Next year you'll have to work."
