I slowly finished a bottle of soda and it was time to gather.
We arrived at the school gate again and counted the number of people. Everyone rode their bicycles and went out in a mighty manner.
There wasn't much to say about the farewell party, just eating and drinking. The college entrance exam was over, everyone was free of stress, and we gathered together to chat and laugh.
Some people brought notebooks and asked everyone to sign and write a blessing message as a souvenir.
The teachers were not as serious as usual and even made jokes, and many students toasted them.
Su Zelin also toasted each of his teachers. To be honest, anyone who teaches a troublemaker like him will suffer misfortune, and his high school teachers were quite tolerant of him.
When toasting Lao Guo, the head teacher was already a little drunk. He pulled Su Zelin aside and whispered, "Zelin, it doesn't matter how you do in the exam. I have been teaching for 30 years and have seen all kinds of students. There are many like you. You may not be good at studying, but you are smart and a little sly. When you go out into society, you may be the best in the class!"
Normally, the head teacher would never say such things to any student, otherwise the student might take it as an excuse for laziness, but it is different after the college entrance examination.
Firstly, what Lao Guo said was to encourage Su Zelin, and secondly, it was also the truth.
He has a lot of students who were quite rebellious when they were in school, but now they have become big bosses and are doing very well, and they often invite him to dinner and give him gifts.
Lao Guo, you have good eyesight!
You are right.
The gangster thought to himself, I, Su, will definitely be the one who does the best!
"Then I will thank you for your advice, teacher!"
Su Zelin raised his glass: "Lao Guo, I'll drink it, you can do whatever you want!"
"well… "
Lao Guo was in a good mood and also had a drink with them.
The head teacher can drink quite a lot, as can be seen from his big pot belly.
The farewell party was served with beer. There were more than 30 boys in the class, and he could handle it even if each of them toasted him with a glass.
Everyone was happy at the beginning of a farewell party, but as it came to an end, the mood suddenly became heavy.
High school life may be the most memorable campus time in a person’s life.
When we all go out into society, the people we spend the most time with are almost always our high school classmates.
Soon, everyone will go their separate ways, and it must be very sad.
Everyone hoped that this farewell party could last longer.
However, all good things must come to an end.
The time was almost up, and Lao Guo walked into the crowd and gave his final speech to this class of students.
"Three years ago, you met on a beautiful campus, sharing similar interests; you made an appointment in the most beautiful season, your friendship is priceless; you gathered in the ocean of youth, passionate and unrestrained; you parted at the time of graduation, and it is hard to leave!"
“Everyone is reluctant to leave their alma mater, and your alma mater is also reluctant to leave you. However, the eagle will always spread its wings and fly to a higher sky. High school is not the end of campus life. There is still a beautiful ivory tower waiting for you. Enjoy it to your heart’s content!”
"Finally, in this July graduation season, on behalf of all the teachers in the class, I wish every student here a bright future. There will be more wonderful scenery waiting for you on the road ahead!"
As soon as Lao Guo finished speaking, there was thunderous applause from the audience.
As expected of a class teacher and Chinese teacher, his graduation speech was so emotional that everyone was moved to tears. Several girls even cried on the spot. Qin Shiqing and Tang Yan both had red eyes.
Several teachers left first, followed by the students.
Zhao Mingxuan stood at the door. He felt that he should stay until the last moment and see off every classmate. This was his duty as the class monitor.
Hug or shake hands with anyone who comes out of the door.
With every familiar face that left, Zhao Mingxuan felt a little heavier.
The last two people to walk out of the hotel were Qin Shiqing and Su Zelin.
When he saw Qin Shiqing, Zhao Mingxuan was excited and quickly opened his arms.
However, Qin Shiqing just smiled and stretched out her hand.
Zhao Mingxuan was a little embarrassed and could only shake hands with her.
But it’s not bad. Zhao Mingxuan plans to not wash his hands for at least three days after returning home.
As for Su Zelin next, the situation became a little subtle.
The two had been at odds for three years in high school. As the class monitor, Zhao Mingxuan despised troublemakers like Su Zelin the most. Not only were they the last in the class, but they also affected the class's reputation. What's more, because of Qin Shiqing, he regarded Su Zelin as a love rival.
Su Zelin also disliked him, so Zhao Mingxuan thought that the other party would most likely turn his face away and pretend not to see him.
However, unexpectedly, Su Zelin strode up to him, opened his arms and gave him a tight bear hug. The gangster was so strong that Zhao Mingxuan almost couldn't breathe.
The man with glasses was a little confused. Among all the people, Su Zelin's way of saying goodbye to him was the most enthusiastic. People who didn't know the reason might think that the two were good friends.
And not only that, Su Zelin also gave him a hard "bop" on the face.
"Zhao Mingxuan, fuck you, goodbye!"
After saying this, Su Zelin finally loosened his arms.
He had a grudge with the man with glasses, but after his rebirth he realized that it was actually very childish. With his graduation from high school, all those bad things disappeared at this moment.
Moreover, Zhao Mingxuan's behavior of staying until the last minute at the farewell party is quite admirable.
Because the person who leaves last will definitely be the saddest.
"Ugh, ugh, ugh, what are you doing? It's so disgusting!"
Zhao Mingxuan was so angry that he immediately ran to the bathroom to wash his face.
After washing, I suddenly remembered that I had washed my hands, and the smell of the goddess was no longer there.
"Damn Su Zelin, this kid is simply sick!"
Zhao Mingxuan walked out of the bathroom cursing, only to find that Su Zelin and Qin Shiqing had also left.
The huge hotel was completely empty, and my heart suddenly felt empty.
Zhao Mingxuan couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears while lying on the table.
…
On the way home, Su Zelin and Qin Shiqing rode their bicycles slowly, side by side.
Compared to other classmates who went home alone after the farewell party, he was lucky because he still had his childhood sweetheart by his side.
Moreover, Qin Shiqing accompanied him for a full seventeen years!
The considerate girl next door brought me countless beautiful memories.
However, like everyone else at the farewell party, she and I would eventually go our separate ways.
There is only a little over a month left before she has to go to Yanjing, while I will stay in the province, traveling far apart.
From now on, there will never be a girl like this to accompany me to school and go home, and to share the good and bad times with me.
Thinking of this, Su Zelin couldn't help but feel sad.
After returning home, a faint sadness still lingered in my heart until after dinner.
After entering the room and sitting at the desk in a daze for a while, Su Zelin himself felt a little strange.
In my previous life, I lived to be over 30 years old and attended my high school graduation farewell party for the second time, but I am still sentimental. This is not like me.
Could it be that a person's mood is affected by the environment
Now that I’m back in high school and facing a bunch of little kids every day, has my mentality become childish imperceptibly
Su Zelin sighed and picked up the red cotton guitar in the corner.
Apart from being not good at studying, or to be more precise, having no interest in it, he knows almost everything. He plays the guitar very well and has performed solos in school cultural evenings.
When you feel lonely, cigarettes and guitar are always your best friends.
He wiped the dust off the guitar, gently plucked the strings and began to sing.
…
I always thought graduation was a long way off.
Before we knew it, we were going our separate ways.
The summer of breaking up, I can't bear to leave you
But yesterday can't go back
I miss the classroom where I studied with you for three years.
I miss walking with you on campus in the afternoon
My desk mate, can you please not leave
I'm used to having you
Can time stop forever in this graduation season
Don't let time take away the memories of our youth
Every time I take an exam, you cheer me up
Even if I fail the exam, you will accompany me to review
Can time stop forever in this summer
I'm afraid I won't see you again after tomorrow
…
After singing "Graduation Season" accompanied by the slowly disappearing string sounds, Su Zelin's eyes became a little moist.
Many people do not know how to cherish their campus life when they are young. It is only after many years when they look back that they realize what they have missed.
At that moment, only the hot tears in my eyes were mourning the youth that was gone and would never come back.
“You sang very well…”
Qin Shiqing's voice came from behind, and my childhood sweetheart was standing at the door without me noticing.
Su Zelin wiped the corner of his eyes imperceptibly and turned back as if nothing had happened.
Qin Shiqing had just taken a shower, her soft black hair was wet, and she was wearing a set of loose Chibi Maruko-chan cartoon pajamas, but it couldn't hide the girl's exquisite and graceful figure.
She walked over to Su Zelin and sat down. A faint fragrance came quietly. This was the unique body fragrance of girls. It was like the fragrance of orchid and osmanthus, fragrant and elegant, refreshing and very pleasant.
"I thought you would never feel sad about parting."
Qin Shiqing said with a smile.
After the farewell party, she felt very depressed being alone at home tonight, so she came over to chat with Su Zelin.
"Tsk, you make it sound like I have no emotions!"
Su Zelin curled his lips.
"When I encouraged me to take the entrance exams to Peking University and Tsinghua University, I never saw you so sad!"
Qin Shiqing stared into his eyes and said slowly.
Su Zelin casually put the guitar back into the corner.
"I just want you to be well. Lao Guo said that an eagle will always spread its wings and fly higher into the sky. You are an eagle, so you should fly as high as possible. I am just a little sparrow, I just need to flutter a few times and look at the nearby scenery from a low altitude."
Qin Shiqing frowned: "Is that all?"
"What else can I do?"
"Okay, I believe it."
After chatting for a while in Su Zelin's room, Qin Shiqing had to go back.
She went out early this morning, took graduation photos and attended a farewell dinner. She was a little tired after a whole day, so she planned to rest early.
Before walking out of the room, Su Zelin spoke again: "Qin Shiqing!"
"Um?"
"No matter what, I am grateful for having you in my life for the past 17 years!"
"oh!"
Qin Shiqing responded indifferently, then turned and left.
Maybe, it’s not just seventeen years.
