If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon

Chapter 12
Lin Nian was walking by the small river in the afternoon. The road was full of dandelions that had not yet grown. The wilted white flowers swayed in the wind. Occasionally, a few white flying flakes scattered and fell to the sparkling sunset reflecting the sunset. river.

After leaving the Regent Hotel, Lin Xian went to the coffee shop to negotiate resignation and salary for the month, leaving Lin Nian alone to hang out in the CBD area. Mandy proposed to drive Lin Nian for a ride, but he refused. , the reason is that he wanted to go home alone after a long absence.

In fact, it was walking home. Lin Nian also took the subway after leaving the hotel. The reason why he refused Mandy was because he saw the red Ferrari at the entrance of the Regent Hotel. The girl drives a nice car past the eyes of the neighbors—there's always a feeling of betraying eating as a young boy's intangible asset.

But he actually didn't lie to Mandy when he said that he wanted to walk home. He did get off the subway and walked on foot before four or five platforms left from home, and he saw the familiar river from noon to evening.

At present, Lin Nian has walked this road home by the river many times, but it was the first time he noticed the scenery on the street, the dog's tail grass, dandelions, three or two sparse trees, and the stubborn land on the opposite side of the river. The glass of the rising office building reflects the dazzling sunlight. Occasionally, a few windows are opened to reveal the young people in the office building with Starbucks coffee cups looking at the CBD area and looking forward to the future.

People say that when you really have to leave a place, you will remember the beauty of this place, from the big city buildings to the small plants and trees.Lin Nian has lived in this city for 16 years. It can be said that he grew up here, but until now he has to go to the other side of the ocean because of an admission letter.

It stands to reason that Lin Nian should be very sentimental now, and maybe he will pick up a few dandelions and blow them on the scene, but he is not sentimental at all. This may be the inherent momentum of young people-a rare thing for young people when saying goodbye. Will look back and nostalgia, will only burst into enthusiasm for the unknown ahead.

Lin Nian is also a young man. It won't be long before a plane ticket will send him to the place called Kassel College. Is he looking forward to it?maybe.

Looking around and walking for decades, Lin Nian is not too sentimental, just like he has never lived here, just like a traveler who occasionally walks to this coastal city one day and stays, and suddenly wants to stay today. The journey started, and everything was as it should be.

Inexplicably, Lin Nian felt a sense of familiarity.

It seems that once upon a time, this scene has appeared. It is also him who left a homeland and traveled long distances, and there is a person by his side to accompany him.

It's really strange, I was born here and grew up here, how could it be possible that there was a time when I could travel when I said anything?
Lin Nian shook his head and threw out the unrealistic thoughts. Looking at the setting sun, he was fascinated again. He remembered that in "One Hundred Years of Solitude" he once said that if no one is buried here, you do not belong to this place.

Maybe Lin Nian's memories of this city are all trivial things, and he doesn't have too deep memories. If he really wants to say that the only person worthy of nostalgia is Lin Xian, who lives with him.

People say that the sky of young people has no bounds, and the hearts of young people fly into the distance, but people are always afraid of heights, so they always need some snares.

But now Lin Xian on the other end of the kite string is going to accompany him away, what reason does he have to hurt the city and those so-called old people like Mandy said?
It seems that when it comes to the joys and sorrows, he is really weak enough, watching the sunset completely fall to the end of the river, Lin Nian thought to himself.

He didn't think about so much anymore, and instead quickened his pace, because he had to rush to eat hot pot tonight.

Lin Nian finished walking the path by the river but did not continue his journey home. He got on the bus at the end of the path, got off at the subway station, and took the subway all the way to the exit dozens of kilometers away from home.

After leaving the subway station, the cold wind blew into the neckline. Lin Nian tightened his clothes and looked up. It may be the problem of urban environmental pollution in recent years. There are no stars and no moon tonight. The street lights on the street look like the moon. Round by round rose up.

He was walking by the road with his phone in one hand and the other. The cold wind threw the fallen leaves on the street in front of him and kicked them away. The avatars of the iPhone office group had already started beating. Shu, it's all about the hot pot dinner, you say to me: it's not here, how long will it be, ah, look back, I'm actually behind you.

Su Xiaoqian's organizational ability, Zhao Menghua's leadership, Chen Wenwen's influence, and the efficiency of the three major talkers in the class are really impressive. Tonight, it is estimated that all the classmates should be here except for those who live a little far away and have something to do.

Lin Nian sniffed and felt that the aroma of the hot pot base could be smelled through the screen of the mobile phone. Now the weather is good enough to save face. A chopstick of hot pot dipped in the chilly evening wind as a condiment seems to be able to combine the two seasons of spring and summer. Swallow it hot.

In the end, he still decided to participate in this class reunion. At least a hot pot as a farewell is better than a special farewell ceremony for the classmates who transferred schools in the past. The class representatives stood up and addressed the transfer students. With the solemn feeling of saying goodbye to the body, Lin Nian almost followed the silence.

So if I want to say goodbye after thinking about it, it seems that tonight's hot pot meal is the best occasion. Everyone is eating hot pot and singing songs. It's okay to say goodbye all of a sudden.Watching the classmates pouring water in the group, Lin Nian could not help feeling some truth.

It turns out that there is still a so-called "communication circle" in this city. Isn't this kind of life a combination of all kinds of happy and sad things that happen in large and small circles?

His life before the age of 16 was formed in this coastal city, that orphanage, and the rented house. It does not appear to be a legend, but it feels endless aftertaste.

"How long until it arrives? Don't let me dove, man, it will kill people." QQ Shanglu Mingfei pokes Lin Nian on time and on time, as conscientious as a mobile phone alarm clock, he can play music for you on time when it is turned off.

"On the way, there are still four or five streets." Lin Nian looked up at the street sign and replied.

"Four or five streets? You're walking here? Don't your feet hurt?"

"Do you want to give me a rub?"

"Hurry up, it's hard to have dinner if there are not many people."

"You eat first. If it's too late, I'll wash the dishes for you. I do the dishes professionally."

"You're cruel." Lu Mingfei stopped talking, at least he felt at ease knowing that his friend didn't release the pigeons.

Lin Nian put away his iPhone and rubbed his temples. Do you think he wants to walk?At night, the starting price of a taxi is 10 yuan. It is estimated that you will have to skip the meter after walking four or five streets to eat a traffic light and then go around. How can he be willing?There was no beautiful girl beside him.

Maybe God heard the voice in Lin Nian's heart, so a beautiful girl was really sent to him, accompanied by a good car.

A horn sounded on the street beside Lin Nian, and the headlights dragged his shadow on the road ahead for a long time. He didn't react until the black business Mercedes-Benz stopped beside him and turned his head to look. The rear window was lowered. What was revealed at the back was a rather arrogant and beautiful face, and at the moment this face was written with the surprise of encounter.

"Lin Nian? Sure enough, it's you."

"Su Xiaoqian? What a coincidence." Lin Nian was a little surprised.

He saw the girl's clear eyes shining brightly from the white street lights behind the car window.
