Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

Chapter 105: Goodbye youth

Views:

The three girls talked about their past, and now they were facing separation again, and they suddenly felt a little sad.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Wei said, "Let's go, it's time to set off."

They went out and hailed a taxi.

Other classes haven't started yet, and there are only senior high school students left in the whole school. This is the last reunion of their high school careers.

The three girls were in different classes. When they went to the second floor, they said goodbye.

Li Wei entered the classroom, and almost all the students in the class had arrived. Everyone was specially dressed up, and her classmates gathered around her soon after her arrival.

"Li Wei, your clothes look really good today."

Li smiled and said, "Just so-so."

The words "Goodbye Youth" were written in big words with colored chalk on the blackboard.

Once we say goodbye, we don’t know when we will see each other again.

"Hey, handsome guy, who are you?"

The girls in the class looked up when they heard the sound, and Li Wei also looked at the door. But he saw a young man wearing a black shirt and a light golden bow tie standing at the door. The young man usually has ear-length hair, but today he combed all his hair back, and it looked like he had sprayed a lot of mousse on it, leaving a wide forehead. This is the first time I have seen him dressed like this.

Some girls in the class made fun of him: "Lin Haishu, there is one thing missing from your look."

Lin Haishu asked shyly: "What's missing?"

"There is one less recipe. You are dressed like a waiter in a Western restaurant."

Lin Haishu immediately lowered his head and looked at his clothes with some unconfidence, thinking that he was such a failure. If he had known better, he would not have listened to his elder brother's advice.

The boy was looking for the familiar figure in the crowd, but at this moment Li Wei was joking with other girls and didn't pay much attention to him, just like before.

Not long after, the head teacher came. He stood on the podium and held the last class meeting.

"My classmates, three years of high school life has come to an end at this moment. You have worked hard along the way."

Teacher Lan's words caused silence in the classroom, and some girls were already wiping tears secretly.

"I have taken care of some of my classmates for three years, and they have changed a lot. Dear children, I hope you have a bright future. Whenever you feel homesick, come back and visit. I believe that parting is preparation for the next reunion. "

The head teacher spoke with some emotion, and the atmosphere in the class suddenly became a little sad.

Li Wei looked at the long fluorescent lamp and thought that it was her second brother who brought her here. Here she found her direction and her dream. For Li Wei, the past three years have undoubtedly been happy. But the person she wanted to see the most was already thousands of miles away from her.

There was about to be a graduation dance on the playground. Everyone walked out of the classroom one after another and headed to the playground to attend the dance.

Many senior high school students have gathered on the playground, in small groups. There were people taking group photos, and there were also couples hugging each other in the corner. At this time, no teacher came to interfere with them.

Soothing waltz music was playing from the speakers, and someone was already dancing. Li Wei stood in the dimly lit area. Her mood was a little erratic at the moment, until someone came over and extended her inviting hands to her.

"Can I ask you to dance?"

Li Wei turned around and saw Lin Haishu standing beside her. She said with some embarrassment, "I'm not good at jumping."

"It doesn't matter, I can." The boy gathered up his courage and extended an invitation to the girl.

Li Wei did not refuse his kindness and handed over his hand. The two of them walked to the center of the venue and danced to the music. Li Wei was not used to dancing this kind of ballroom dance, and her movements were a bit stiff. Fortunately, the dance partner around her was skilled in dancing. She was led to cooperate with him in a stiff manner, spinning along, moving forward and backward. But since it is the first time to cooperate, it is inevitable that mistakes will be made. Li Wei accidentally stepped on Lin Haishu's leather shoes. She immediately stopped her foot and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, did it hurt you?"

"It's okay, just a slight touch."

Lin Haishu didn't want to end the cooperation between the two in a hurry because of this trivial matter. The music did not stop, and Li Wei continued to move forward under his leadership. After some cooperation, her steps gradually became more skillful, and she no longer made the wrong step due to panic.

The pair of shoes on her feet were shelved after only two wears after she bought them, just because they didn't fit her feet that well. However, Hu Linlin said that her dress today had to match these shoes to look good, and the shoes were getting better and better as time went by. She now regrets not insisting on her own opinion.

The skin on her heel was scratched and the pain came, but Li Wei did not let go. She endured the discomfort and danced the piece with Lin Haishu until the music stopped.

"Thank you." The young man bowed slightly to her, with a sincere look on his face.

Li Xiaoxiao said sweetly: "I have been taking care of you for the past three years, and it is I who should say thank you."

The corners of the young man's lips rose slightly. He seemed to have something to say. He opened his mouth, but swallowed all the words. He said goodbye to Li Wei with a smile, and soon Lin Haishu walked into the sea of people. Immediately, another girl gathered around him and asked him to dance.

Li Wei silently retreated to the corner, frowning at the discomfort in her feet.

She walked to the wall and took off her shoes. There was less friction and the pain felt better. She touched the pockets on her body out of habit, only to realize that the dress she wore today had no pockets at all, and the bag she was carrying was still in the classroom.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you felt uncomfortable in your feet?" The young man who had just left came back.

Li Wei looked at him in astonishment, and Lin Haishu was a little anxious in his words.

"Why are you back again?"

"Idiot!" I don't know who Lin Haishu is scolding.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a small thing. You can go dance with them." Li Wei pushed him.

"Are you an idiot?" Lin Haishu cursed again. He knelt down in front of Li Wei and said, "I'll carry you back to the classroom."

Li Wei waved his hands quickly and said: "No, no. I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

"If you feel embarrassed, just hold my arm." Lin Haishu stretched out his arm.

Li Wei hesitated for a moment and finally offered his hand. The two of them supported him all the way to the teaching building for the third year of high school. The lights at the entrance of the stairs were dim, and the person who supported him all the way didn't say a word.

The two finally reached the second floor. Lin Haishu turned on the light and dragged a chair for Li Wei to sit on. He squatted down and helped Li Wei take off the offending shoe. There were blood stains on the heels.

"You wait, I'll go to the infirmary to take a look."

"It's just a small injury, just put a band-aid on it and it'll be fine."

"You're already bleeding. You don't need to disinfect the wound with alcohol to avoid infection." Lin Haishu insisted on his opinion and ran out.
