Midnight Anchorwoman - C73
The next day, Xu Bing and I left the company together. I returned back to the school to go through the relevant procedures for leaving school, and it would be a while before the graduation certificate was sent out. At the bus station, the two of us split up.
“Lao Er, I’m back. What’s the arrangement for today?” I replied to a message on WeChat and sent it with a “sou”. At this moment, the bus arrived at the stop.
“Elder sister.”
I heard the child’s voice, right beside me, and I looked at him, very familiar. “It’s you.” That child was very young, probably only about three years old. He was the same child that he met on the bus last time. I didn’t expect him to recognize me.
“Your phone rang.”
The bus was so noisy that I didn’t even notice that my phone was ringing. I smiled. It was probably just a coincidence. He just noticed that my phone was ringing, not recognizing me.
“Xu Bing, what’s wrong?” The phone call was actually from Xu Bing. I quickly answered and asked.
“Xia Mo, I’m sorry, I took the wrong wallet when I woke up in the morning.”
“It’s fine, use whatever you want.” I opened the bag and flipped through it. The two of us bought the purse together, but there were some differences in the patterns. Actually, it was still very similar.
“Alright, when you go back, remember to tell me in advance.”
“It’s been fun for a few days.”
I hung up, and the kid kept looking at me with his big watery eyes, and I just smiled, and the car came in, and the kid and the grown-up got out, and I remember this is where I got off the car last time, and it should be near here. There was a lot less people in the car, and I sat where the kid had been.
Huala! I felt as though I had kicked something. When I looked down, it was actually a bell with a red rope tied to it. There was a little snake hanging on it.
I picked it up from the ground. The little thing was fun to hold in my hand. I locked it into my bag and could give it back to him the next time I saw it.
Looking at the slightly dilapidated female dormitory, the emotions at that time were very complicated. There was a lot of laughter here, since we had spent four years of university together and similarly sad, Su Lin had already left us forever.
Originally, there were four people, but now there were three. I believe that Su Lin had already settled down in the grave, and was very busy during that period of time, so she did not participate in Su Lin’s funeral.
Up the corridor, up to the fourth floor, I saw a man with a basin, saw me, ran into the side 402, it was like seeing a ghost.
Sick.
The door was open, so I walked straight in. “Boss.”
Lao Er was lying on the bed and playing with his phone, he was packing up, I just smiled, “When did you come back?”
“I just returned. Oh right, did something really happen to Su Lin?”
I nodded. “Let’s not talk about that anymore. This matter is already over. Lao Si must be having a good time in heaven.” I looked in. Lao Si’s bed was empty, everything had been taken by her family. There was only a cushion left on the bed.
Maybe one day, we will leave this world, although we left a lot of things, a lot of memories, but, with the passing of time, these will slowly disappear.
“Then let’s go to the library first and settle the paperwork for leaving school.”
“Let’s go.”
I rummaged in the drawer and found my library card. We were also called cartoons, and this thing worked better than you could wash your face with. You had to use it for meals, for water, for baths, and for books, of course.
Since we are in an art school, it is necessary to mention that the library is mentioned. Therefore, the activities here are definitely top-notch. Every year, we engage in all kinds of activities, and the learning atmosphere is the same.
When I first entered the academy, I thought that the library was quite magical. The shelves were filled with all kinds of books, and I would occasionally borrow a few to browse through. As time went by, I was not in the mood to read books.
Our school’s library has a total of four floors, and its architectural style is still quite unique. It has a very strong artistic atmosphere, especially the feeling of being collated together by the front and back of the library.
“Hello, where are you going after the departure procedures?” We are talking about the security guard at the door. In the library, it is not easy to meet a teacher who can speak to you in a friendly manner.
“From here to the second floor, 203.”
“Thank you.”
We walked up the stairs and very quickly saw a long line of people lined up in front of us. However, very quickly, Lao San went to take a look in front of us, and she saw that all of us had a list of places to leave school, and there were several places that needed to be sealed with seals. The first one is the library, we have to make sure that you don’t owe the books here. The third was the residential management center. Some of the keys had to be returned. It was said that a sum of money could be obtained.
They followed the procession and soon reached us. “Xia Mo, you have a book that you have yet to return.”
“What book?” I was stunned. I hadn’t been here in at least two years.
“Interpretation of the dream.”
“Oh.” I was kind of impressed by what she said, and because I had nightmares, I borrowed a book on the subject. It seemed to be the one she was talking about.
“Alright, I’ll go back and find it.”
“As soon as possible, don’t affect your graduation because of this.” I know she’s scaring me. There’s a red stamp on the list of Lao Er and Lao San. It’s because of that book, the one on top of my list.
“Let’s go.”
The second stop went smoothly. In university, there were only 60 points in life and there wasn’t much pursuit for him. As long as he didn’t fail the examinations, he would be willing to pay respects to anyone, not to mention Brother Chun.
“Where should we meet tonight?”
“Roast meat on Three Streets.”
“Alright.”
We went to that eatery a few times, and almost every year a few people would gather together at the beginning of the school year. This should be the last time, looking at the time, it’s already 4 in the afternoon.
As they walked along the campus, the two of them barely spoke, since we were not in the same department, so there wasn’t much time for private conversations.
It was still the familiar storefront, a seat for four, and now one was empty. That day, we decided to drink a little, because we were going to be busy with work and graduation matters, so we basically wouldn’t stay in the dorm.
“I’ll stay here in the future. If you come back, you can call me anytime.”
“Relax, Xia Mo.” The Lao Er smiled, and I could tell that her smile was forced. The taste of the beer was a little bitter, like life.
I drank one cup after another. I was pretty good at drinking that kind of liquor. For some reason, I got drunk that night very quickly. “Let’s go back.”
I felt someone coming to help me, but I was actually feeling dizzy. I stood up and walked outside, and when the wind blew outside, it became even more uncomfortable, and I felt like vomiting, but I couldn’t do anything about it. I sleepily returned to my dorm.
