At five o'clock, the county party committee office invited Duan Ying and Du Chenglong to attend the reception dinner. Duan Ying hesitated and did not want to go. Wang Hui called again. Seeing that the director had sent a celebration, Duan Ying and Du Chenglong had to rush to attend the dinner held in the small guesthouse.

At this time, the new management committee had already booked a private room at the Chongqing Jianghu Restaurant. Hou Weidong called Zhang Jin, Zhang Xiangyu and other team members to enjoy the spicy and fragrant hot food. After eating, his mouth felt comfortable, but his stomach protested.

After the banquet, the new management committee members dispersed. Hou Weidong returned to Shazhou College alone. At the door, he got out of the car and said to the new master who was in the test period: "Come to pick me up at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, and I'm going to see Director Wang off."

From the gate of Shazhou College to the professor building is a curved college avenue, just like the main trunk of a big tree. Other paths follow this avenue. There are tall trees planted on both sides of the avenue, all of which are left by the predecessors when the school was founded. Decades have passed, all the small trees of that year have grown into pillars, using their thick shade to block the wind, rain and scorching sun for students.

Under the street lights, the new buds on the trees were greener than during the day. As soon as I walked to the teaching building, I heard the ringing ringing, and the students who were studying in the teaching building walked out in groups.

Hou Weidong was so familiar with this scene. During the four years at Shazhou College, there were countless nights. He and Xiaojia walked secretly on the road covered with lush trees through the night and the crowd. Liu Kun, Jiang Dali, Duan Ying, Yang Qian and others also walked through this avenue happily with books and longing for sweet love.

After graduation for several years, Hou Weidong went to Shazhou College by chance to live again. Although he lived in the college, he no longer had the mood of studying. When he went to and from get off work, the car quickly passed through the avenue. He rarely noticed the scenery on both sides, and sometimes even felt that groups of students were blocking the way.

Tonight, walking on this straight road, there were students talking and laughing in front of him. He couldn't help but missed four years of college life. Soon, his thoughts returned to reality. He took out his phone from his pocket, hesitated for a while, and put the phone back, and said intimately: "After or later, this unclear relationship with Duan Ying will be settled. It is better to break it early than to break it late."

Then I remembered the little things he met Duan Ying at the beginning of graduation, and it seemed unreasonable to break it off like this.

Duan Ying left the dinner held by the county party committee early. Although the dinner was very high in specifications and rich in dishes, the atmosphere was warm and the guests gathered together, but she was not in much mood. After a few quick bites of the meal, she took an excuse to see an old friend and asked Director Wang for leave, so she left the dinner venue.

After wandering around Yiyang Pedestrian Street aimlessly, compared to Lingxi, Yiyang Pedestrian Street is too far apart. There are not many high-end shops and the facilities are gradually aging. At 8 o'clock, the nightlife in Lingxi has just begun, and the pedestrians on Yiyang Pedestrian Street are obviously scarce, and most of the shops are ready to close.

Duan Ying was in a state of great interest. When she was working at Yi Yang, she lived at her relative's house. When she was transferred to Shazhou, the house was returned to her relatives. Without the housing, she lost her foundation in Yi Yang's survival.

She left the city, and at the same time, the city abandoned her.

After leaving the pedestrian street, he saw a taxi waiting at the intersection. After a stranger, Duan Ying waved to the taxi and said, "Shazhou College."

Sitting at the gate of Shazhou College, she walked slowly along the school gate. Time seemed to have stopped in the college. The trees were still, the water was still the same, and there was not much change. Along the sidewalk, she stopped in front of a particularly thick tree. With the street lights, she clearly saw the scars on the branches. Back then, her boyfriend of the accounting department used a knife to carve a love declaration: "Ying, my eternal favorite."

The words are blurred, but the traces are still there. The infatuated young man has long disappeared in the vast sea of ​​people, like two small boats wandering in the sea. After being broken by a storm, if there is no special arrangement of the hand of fate, the chance of meeting again is slightly zero.

It is precisely because of this that love in college is the shortest.

At the same time, due to the special environment of the university campus, university love will become an experience in life, whether sad, happy, shallow, or deep, always leaving a place deep in the heart.

Standing in front of this tree for a while, gradually, a classmate came out of the classroom and woke Duan Ying up to her dream of reminiscence. She left the trees with traces of the past with regret and walked forward along the avenue.

Every step is the scenery, and the traces of the past are everywhere. She stopped in a small garden in the middle of the avenue. In this small garden, she could clearly see the reflection of the lights on the lake, and even hear the faint sound of the piano coming from the music department.

At nine o'clock, Duan Ying finally took out her cell phone and called Hou Weidong. As soon as she dialed, the ringtone of her cell phone came from the sidewalk outside the small garden. In 1998, although the cell phone gradually lowered its noble figure and entered the homes of ordinary people, students still couldn't afford the cell phone. So when she heard the ringtone from outside the small garden, she suddenly jumped in her heart.

I saw Hou Weidong walking across the sidewalk, and he was still "heat, heat".

Duan Ying said: "Stop feeding, I'm in the small garden."

Hou Weidong turned his head in surprise and saw a hand standing in the middle of the street garden. Looking at his figure, it was Duan Ying wearing a short coat, "Why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here? Come back to see my alma mater, shouldn't it be?"

Hou Weidong laughed and said, "The county party committee dinner has ended, no other programs have been arranged?"

Duan Ying's eyes turned back to the lights by the lake and said, "It's nothing more than going to the county party committee's small guesthouse, everyone sang karaoke, danced, and drank, it's meaningless."

"You and reporter Du were taken away by the county party committee, which made our team have a meal in the Chongqing Jianghu Restaurant."

Duan Ying said lightly: "If we don't come, you will have to have a meal."

Seeing that Duan Ying was a little depressed, Hou Weidong stopped talking and said, "I'll walk by the lake with you, okay?"

Duan Ying didn't say anything, just nodded, and the two of them went straight to the lake from the path in the small garden. This was a path covered with shrubs and tall trees, and it was also a famous love path at Shazhou College. They passed through the path silently, and from time to time they could see figures hugging each other in the shadows of trees. These figures were like solid stone statues, completely sinking into their own world, and they didn't care about the pedestrians passing by.

"It's only been a few years since graduation, and the changes are really big." When he arrived by the lake, Hou Weidong took the initiative to break the silence.

“Which side?”

“Everything.”

Duan Ying shrank her neck under the lake wind. She took the initiative to reach out and hold Hou Weidong's arm, and said with some sadness and self-deprecating words: "I came over the door just now. There was a tree with words engraved on him. At that time, I really thought love could last forever. But as soon as the graduation assignment result came out, he resolutely broke up with me, leaving no room for recovery. Looking back now, he is really a man, cutting the mess with a quick knife, without any delay."

The little stories about Duan Ying and her accounting boyfriend were told by Xiaojia to Hou Weidong. In a sense, Hou Weidong is the outsider who knows Duan Ying's love history best. He asked: "Have you contacted me after graduation?"

"I just occasionally miss my college days. In real life, I don't want to see him again, and I have no interest or time."

Standing by the lake, Duan Ying said sadly and calmly: "Mr. and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly away from each other when the disaster strikes. Moreover, we are just in love. After graduation, we realize that love is just a part of life, and not the most important part. Survival is the first need of people."

After graduation, Duan Ying was assigned to Yiyang Silk Factory, a county-owned enterprise in Yiyang County. Soon after working, the silk factory was quickly eliminated in the process of marketization, just like many similar enterprises. When the ship of the silk factory was about to sink, she became Liu Kun's girlfriend in order to survive and was transferred to Yiyang Newspaper. This step is particularly critical for Duan Ying. Without this step, she would not have appeared in the Lingxi Newspaper system, and there would be no such thing as today.

Walking slowly along the curved lakeside path, just like a romantic and sad one day in the early 1990s.

Hou Weidong said: "Don't be sad when you see things. Let's talk about it happily. Human potential can be unlimitedly explored. You are a student, but now you are in the press. Can you imagine that you will become a famous reporter?"

Duan Ying said: "Don't talk about the word "famous reporter" in Lingxi, which is used to make fun of it." Hou Weidong then realized that "famous reporter" and "famous prostitute" are homophonic. He smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, I didn't think of this level."

Turning from the lakeside path to the professor's building, seeing the lights on the professor's building, Hou Weidong said to himself: "It's over here, there is no need to hide it." Invited: "Go to my house and sit."

Duan Ying was already mentally prepared when she called Hou Weidong, but when Hou Weidong sent an invitation, she still struggled for a moment in her heart and said, "I always feel sorry for Xiaojia when I do this."

Hou Weidong was lifting his footsteps. After hearing this, he gently took them back and looked back at Duan Ying's face.

The street lights by the lake are very sparse, and the lights are dotted, shining on Duan Ying's face. It is different from usual, less capable and more hazy.

"Wei Dong, promise me this time." Duan Ying raised her face, her slightly thick lips were unexpectedly clear.

The two of them were silent again and walked tacitly towards the Professor's Building. When they were downstairs, Hou Weidong saw that Professor Guo's balcony was dark, so he quickly went upstairs with Duan Ying, praying while walking: "Master Guo, please don't come out."

When he entered the door, Hou Weidong gently closed the door. Without turning on the light, he hugged Duan Ying tightly, and his hearts were beating "bang, bang".

"You are still so plump." Hou Weidong warmed Duan Ying's underwear for a while, and when it got hot, he reached into his underwear. His palm was not small, but he couldn't catch the plump*.
