I analyzed it, that is, not long after Qing Er went to visit me the last time, Sister Lan went out to study, and only came back yesterday.

But, would Qing Er's Colleagues, the teachers who read my essays everyday under Qing Er's nagging, know about Qing Er and me?

I made mental preparations to meet Qing Er, and also made preparations to face Qing Er's cold eyes from the Colleagues.

"Oh …" "Yes, yes, work is important..." Sister Lan laughed: "I've long heard that you're extremely ambitious. I've met you today, you're right …"

I smiled and said nothing.

"Oh right, my Old classmate's Liu Yue has been promoted, right?" Sister Lan asked me: "Everyone is usually busy with their own things, it's been a long time since we've last contacted each other …"

"Yes, Director Liu, you're talking about my old director. He was transferred to Provincial Committee Advocacy Department and we just completed the transfer procedures." I calmly said, but in my heart I was extremely nervous. I really hoped that the Sister Lan would never contact her.

"Good, this fellow is so amazing. He doesn't even treat me when I'm high …" The Sister Lan muttered: "When Liu Yue was in university, he was a member of our class. He studied very hard and was very hardworking.

I am very interested in this Sister Lan who is talking about Liu Yue's university era. I really hope that this Sister Lan can say a little more, but after this Sister Lan just said that, she was called away.

I am very regretful and at the same time comforted that Liu Yue is actually so outstanding in university.

The celebrations soon began, and the agenda of the various statements was followed by the announcement of congratulations on the list of participants, the review, the outlook, the leading speeches, the guest addresses... I am already used to it. I do not need these things, all I need is a speech by the City Leader, and in this speech, I will probably only choose a few sentences to write in the script.

In the eyes of the chief and editors of the Party Committee's organ newspaper, the activities that the people of the Deputy mayor participate in, from the new perspective of the Party newspaper news, belong to the category that can be reported but not reported. The only thing that the newspaper does is send a short message or send a short message about tofu, and only the activities that the members of the Municipal committees's standing committee participate in will be given a length and a page.

I had originally wanted to slip away as soon as I got the materials, but seeing that the atmosphere around me was more harmonious, there was no coldness and awkwardness that I had expected. Besides, it was inconvenient for me to walk quietly. Jianghai University was located in the outskirts of the city and had to walk for half a day before she could reach the bus stop.

The event would take at least two hours to finish, and I didn't have the patience to sit through it. So I slipped out of the meeting in boredom.

When I came out, Sister Lan saw me and smiled at me. Maybe she thought I went to Qing Er's room to look for Qing Er.

Of course I wouldn't go to Qing Er's dorm. I didn't have the courage and guts. I went out the back door of the school and followed the familiar path through a dense grove of poplar trees. I stepped on the soft golden leaves and walked to the river in the back of the school.

The winding river quietly flowed, the river water clear enough to see the bottom. From the reeds in the middle of the river came the happy cries of birds, and from behind them came the sound of the autumn wind sweeping through the fallen leaves …

This was the place where Qing Er and I would often play and walk together during our college years. For four years, we would always quietly sit on that large rock by the river's edge, snuggling together and looking at the clear river, telling all kinds of interesting stories, dreaming of a beautiful tomorrow …

I don't know why I have come to this place again without knowing it, but it is as if some mysterious force were guiding me to this place, to the big rock by the river.

When I suddenly saw a familiar figure sitting in front of a big rock, I suddenly fainted. I clearly saw that I suddenly saw Qing Er's figure appear in front of me, with her back facing me, quietly sitting on the big rock. It was just like how it was for four years, only that I was missing.

I didn't know if it was an illusion or reality, but I shook my head with all my might and rubbed my eyes, and when I looked again, it was indeed Qing Er!

Qing Er's body had obviously become thinner, and she seemed very weak. The familiar ponytail hair had disappeared, and what replaced it was a head full of short hair. At this moment, she was holding onto her cheeks, bent her knees, and staring blankly at the river …

I don't know if I should go in or go out. I don't know if I should greet Qing Er or not …

I just stood there in a daze, looking at Qing Er from the back in a daze. I was less than 10 meters away from him.

The surroundings were completely silent. A light breeze blew past Qing Er's short hair, and Qing Er used her hand to gently stroke her hair that had been messed up by the wind …

Time seemed to stop.

I just stood there in a daze, staring straight at Qing Er's silhouette and back, looking at Qing Er's pale face and skinny body.

Then, Old Third's voice called out to Qing Er from afar.

"Qing Er —" Behind me, in the distance, Ol 'Three's panting voice could be heard. It had passed through the poplar forest and entered my ears.

Hearing Ol 'Three's shout, Qing Er stood up and slowly turned around.

Naturally, Qing Er saw me, and I, had nowhere to hide.

Looking at Qing Er, looking at her face and eyes, my heart spasmed with shock. After not seeing him for the past few days, Qing Er's face looked extremely haggard.

Seeing me, Qing Er was very surprised, almost frightened. His body clearly swayed for a moment, and his dim eyes suddenly shone with a faint light as the corners of his mouth involuntarily trembled …

I didn't know what to say, Qing Er also didn't say anything, and just like that, we froze. Qing Er's eyes were tightly locked onto me, and her chest was constantly moving up and down.

The moment they fell silent, Ol 'Three rushed over. When he saw me, he was stunned for a moment before reacting, "Major Journalists Jiang, you came to participate in the foreign language department's celebration interview, right? Why did you come here instead of a proper interview?"

Ol 'Three's tone was filled with mockery and disgust.

My expression was stiff, but I didn't say anything. I forced a smile as a reply.

Ol 'Three looked at me coldly and walked in front of Qing Er. "Qing Er, I couldn't find you at your dorm. "Let's go and eat some medicine …"

With that, Ol 'Three pulled Qing Er's arm and left.

Qing Er didn't say anything. Under Ol 'Three's pull, she mechanically stepped forward, and as she brushed past me, her eyes kept on looking at me …

The moment Qing Er passed by me, I could clearly hear her hurried breathing, and I could even hear the tears in her heart …

I froze in place, not turning my head back. As I listened to Qing Er's and Ol 'Three's footsteps gradually disappear in the small path in the middle of the white woods, the voice of Ol' Three and Qing Er could faintly be heard in the distance, "Qing Er, ignore him, don't look at him anymore. This is a beast, it's not worth you to give up so much for him …"

I could guess that Qing Er was still being pulled along by Ol 'Three as she turned her head to look at me.

When the voices of Old Third and Qing Er completely disappeared, when the only things around us were the cries of the birds in the reeds in the middle of the river and the sound of the leaves rustling as they landed in the autumn wind, a surge of emotions surged in my heart, followed by a string of palpitations.

I stood by the big rock, my heart filled with desolation and desolation... Suddenly, my legs buckled, and I plopped to my knees in front of the boulder, kneeling straight, rigid, while the hard gravel under my knees stung my muscles and nerves.

I don't know if I'm kneeling to say goodbye to the past seven years or to pay tribute to my lost youth and love.

At this moment, my heart is still beating, but my soul has already disappeared, disappearing into the endless blankness and persistence.

Once again, I felt like I had died in the midst of my own shamelessness and despicability...

Ever since that interview, I didn't see Qing Er again, including Ol 'Three. I have always tried to use every possible way to decline the Jianghai University's interviews and find any excuse to refuse to attend the reunion of my best friends in the dorm.

I became even more silent and taciturn. Aside from working everyday, I also went back to my kennel to think about and reminisce about Liu Yue. Even though Liu Yue told me to move in her dorm, for some reason, I didn't. I still maintained my usual habit of quietly sitting there after dinner, quietly listening to Deng Lijun's sad and sorrowful < < Tender Like You > >. I quietly recalled every single detail of Liu Yue, and only when it was deep into the night when everyone was quiet would I quietly return to my dorm.

My heart was always refusing to live in Liu Yue's dorm, as if it was a prediction of what would happen next.

Liu Yue and I still maintained our normal communication and BB machine information transmission, occasionally making a phone call.

I once again suggested that we go to the provincial capital to see Liu Yue.

My request was politely rejected by Liu Yue on the phone, on the BB machine, and in the mail. Liu Yue told me that she was at a critical moment, at an important moment, where she was currently focusing all her attention on. She did not have the time to consider personal affairs, nor did she have the heart to enjoy the pleasures of a man and a woman.

Therefore, I stopped bringing this matter up. When Liu Yue and I are together, we can always feel ourselves being passive and immature at any time.

I don't know what Liu Yue does at this crucial moment to make her pay so much attention, but if she doesn't say it, I don't want to ask.
