The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 1 The Untouchable Shadow
In BJ's August, there will always be a short-term torrential rain inadvertently.In the early morning, the entire Yenching University campus was shrouded in mist and rain.

The rain fell on the lake in the school, and the green water surface was covered with sprays.The wide lotus leaves and beautiful lotus flowers on the water sway powerfully with the ripples of the lake.

A handsome boy in a white shirt was engrossed in revising the unfinished work on the easel, ignoring the raindrops that wet his clothes.

Holding a sketch pen with his slender fingers, he added a few important strokes to complete a simple and powerful painting of lotus in wind and rain.

He is not a boy from the art department, but he is a good painter.

Tomorrow is the graduation ceremony, and he wants to paint the most charming lotus leaf in the wind in the rain as a memorial to his alma mater.

Zhang Xiaofa, aged 22, is a well-deserved student of the History Department of Yenching University.

Good looks, high IQ, above-average grades, self-deprecating "students".His strengths are concentrated in painting, piano and cooking, and he has a third-degree black belt in Taekwondo, so he can crush a large number of male compatriots with professional backgrounds.

The biggest characteristic of his character is cute.

The girls call him "Cute Dog School Grass", if you have to add something, just call him "Single Dog".

Maybe you want to ask, Yenching University is not so much boys and girls?Why is he still single?No reason!

Every single person is afraid of being seen through. The reason why he is single is mainly because of himself; in the words of girls: school grass, what are you thinking!
This schoolmate, who has been in college for four years, is cute and nerdy, and is shy and busy.

Everything starts with the sequelae of the college entrance examination.

I was overly suppressed by exam-oriented education, and when I arrived at university, the stifled love EQ was barren.

The girl's letter came like snowflakes, he was cute besides being dumb.

Xihua, who chased after him angrily, wanted to push him into Weiming Lake: Seeing him by the lake alone with a drawing board, chatting with him for most of the day, the topic was still painting!

Four years of college are over.

He didn't solve the single, and he didn't solve the offer.

I saw that students from other departments signed contracts very quickly. In addition to those who went abroad, they signed contracts in China.

I could have settled for some units I didn't like, but Tsundere wanted to do what I liked, such as being a painting or music teacher.

This year is the most difficult year in history to find a job. There are so many talented people who don’t come from majors in the art department. How can they compete with the talented students from the Chinese Academy of Drama and the Academy of Fine Arts?
I sent out a lot of resumes, and if I couldn't find a job, I had to obediently go to work in my father's law firm.

Only three days away from school.He wanted to take all the memories of his alma mater with him.

In every corner of the century-old prestigious school, there are some unknown secrets hidden.

The most mysterious of these is the School History Museum, which displays many cultural relics.It is comparable to a small museum.

The night before, he took a lot of photos in the school history museum.

The administrator came over to remind: "Student, the door is closing."

"Ah, is it? I'm leaving right away."

Hurriedly walking towards the door, his footsteps were like the wind, and he accidentally brought down a promotional poster——
"Snapped!"

He quickly turned around and turned around to help up the shelf that had fallen to the ground.

A distant and mysterious picture came into view.

"The style of Yanda University --- the precious memory of the campus in the Republic of China."

The old photos with a sense of age are printed on the posters, which are well preserved.

The slender back of a girl, against the white tower and the unnamed lake under the moon, has a special charm.

He has never been interested in girls, but at this moment he is curious.

What was that face like behind the flying hair?
His slender fingers gently touched the beautiful figure on the screen, reminding him of a song by Jay Chou.

"Shanghai's Spring 1943", but the common sense accumulated by the history department made him judge that the girl in the photo should have appeared in an earlier era.

Could it be... 100 years after now?

He observed carefully and found that her slender legs were wearing a pair of high-heeled shoes with pearl buckles, which were elegant and beautiful, very much like the famous Mary Janes worn by Audrey Hepburn in the movie.

Her skirt surprised him even more: a black sleeveless dress with a narrow waist, dancing in the wind, like an elegant black swan, she landed by the water.

It turns out that the real female students in the Republic of China are not just the same black cloth shoes and blue clothes and black skirts as in TV movies.

She can also be fashionable, rushing with the most fashionable fashion in the world...

Zhang Xiaofa looked almost obsessed.He wanted to take a picture, but fiddled with the camera a few times, but there was no response: the battery was out.

It's also strange that the battery has been charged a lot, but it doesn't last long.

When I got back to the dormitory, the headlights were not on.During the day, the roommates received free cardboard boxes provided by the school for graduates from the library, and put their luggage in the same way.

"Xiaofa, are you back?"

"You still have Yaxing to take pictures everywhere? Clear things up."

"Have you signed a contract? We'll have a break-up meal the day after tomorrow."

The three roommates all came up to look at the SLR camera hanging around his neck, but he didn't seem to hear it, standing by the door in a daze.

"It's over, he's bewitched."

"Not like, blushing, are you in love?"

"Hey, say something to prove that you are still alive!"

Zhang Xiaofa shook his body and regained his composure: "I was thinking..."

"Haha, miss a woman!!!"

The whole dormitory burst into applause.

He waved his hand embarrassingly: "No, I'm just missing a photo..."

Sleepless nights passed.Day comes.

The beautiful image on the screen became blurred again, as if it were an unreal dream.

As the employment pressure increased, he quickly forgot about it.

After the torrential rain in the morning, he took a stack of job application resumes to the city gymnasium to participate in the last job fair of this month.

On the street after the rain, the air is fresh, with the smell of leaves and grass in the cool breeze.

Among the crowd coming and going on the road, many are young graduates who are running around with their resumes.

When he was admitted to the history department of Yenching University, it was a huge joke played by fate.

He has a lively and imaginative personality, and he often begins to travel through the classroom while listening to the professor's lecture.

At that time, I was still in the mood to talk nonsense with my best buddies in high school, saying that studying history could travel to any era, and I could imagine myself as various historical figures...

Looking at it now, it would be better for the buddies to study computer science, finance, law, and western medicine, and all of them have successfully become the main force for buying houses!
He saw a girl with bright eyes and white teeth, at most eighteen or nineteen years old.

She leaned over and handed over a small card with a scent of perfume: "Handsome guy, are you interested in ancient books and old newspapers and magazines from the Republic of China era? If you are interested, please scan the QR code on my business card."

He looked at his watch, the job fair was about to start; he didn't have the habit of randomly adding friends on WeChat.

However, the longing in her eyes made it hard to refuse.

He took out his phone and swiped it on with a beep, "I'm going to a job fair, bye!"
