Tian Sangsang jumped off the bed in a flash. The noonday sun was quite strong, and a young man with a handso side profile was leaning against the desk, writing sothing.
From the side, he was a handso guy, with both looks and deanor. His appearance wasn’t scholarly, rather bold and expressive, yet carried an air of elegance.
"You’re awake." The man looked over at her, his eyes slightly narrow, yet unexpectedly bright.
Sothing exploded in her mind. Like fireworks, bursting one by one, one after another.
Tian Sangsang had a splitting headache.
"1982, 1982..." Tian Sangsang was like an ant on a hot pan, going in circles, turning again and again, "Now it’s 1984, I’m two years late, I’m two years late, ah ah ah ah ah!"
She dejectedly slapped her forehead, grabbed the photo from the bed, and quickly dashed out the door.
Lin Chong watched her storm out, thinking, is she going crazy again? He suddenly stood up, grabbed the bag she left behind, and rushed out.
"Hey, your bag!"
He had never been soone who likes to ddle, but today he kept making exceptions, even helping her deliver the bag.
When Lin Chong was in school, he was a student who gave teachers headaches. He was good at studying but particularly mischievous, leaving teachers helpless.
Once, Lin Chong passed by a classroom and saw a few senior students surrounding one student and beating him. When those people saw Lin Chong approaching, they threatened him, "Don’t ddle, otherwise we’ll beat you too."
Lin Chong had his hands in his pockets, walking slowly closer, "I’ve disliked him for a long ti, let join in."
The senior students: "..."
This Lin Chong who played by his own rules, back in his school days, was both loved and hated. Not to ntion, at that ti, Da Hua Country was still a nation in the early stages of developnt, with all sorts of people.
Tian Sangsang ran out and stood in the small cross lane, only to realize this area was a residential district. The buildings were not tall, two to three stories, quite traditional, true to the style of the 1980s. If it were near University A, she would know. But the man just said this was the library of University C, indicating this should be near University C.
Tian Sangsang was bad with directions, how to get to the bus station? Only by going to the bus station can she reach University A.
As she was fretting over which alley to take, footsteps ca from behind. The handso man from earlier took her bag, returned it to her, and asked where she was headed.
Thinking of leaving without notice earlier, Sangsang felt a bit guilty, "Thank you. I actually need to go to University A."
Lin Chong raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Are you a student of University A?"
"No." Qingxiu shook her head, "I need to find soone at University A, find her, Youi, have you seen her?"
Lin Chong looked at the woman in the photo, she had a cold beauty, but he hadn’t seen her. The man beside her, however, looked familiar... but he couldn’t recall where he’d seen him.
"Sorry, I haven’t seen her."
Sangsang wasn’t disappointed; she was just asking casually. The most important thing now was to get to University A; that person was wearing a uniform like her dad’s, surely a fellow student. However, in her mory, universities don’t have uniforms; only schools below that level do. And it’s the 1980s now. So what’s happening here?
Father Xu also rarely ntioned the past to Sangsang, so she was quite baffled about university uniforms at this ti. Calculating the age, her dad is 21 now, surely in university. Moreover, the place he emphasized for her to rember was also the library of University A.
"Um, may I ask, how do I get to the bus station? I want to catch a bus to University A."
Lin Chong was even more surprised, looking at her confused expression, he shrugged, "Alright, a favor already begun must be completed. I’ll take you there."
"Thank you! Thank you!" Sangsang was instantly moved, her eyes slightly reddened.
"...what’s wrong?"
Qingxiu sniffed, "I just think you’re a good person."
In the twenty-first century, many people are rather indifferent. Sotis when going out and encountering so trouble wanting to seek help from strangers, if lucky, you’ll et kind-hearted ones, if unlucky, they won’t even bother with you. Qingxiu was glad she t a warm-hearted person.
"I’m not a good person." Lin Chong sneered, suddenly saying mischievously, "Don’t you fear I’d take you to so desolate mountain?"
With a change in expression, he really looked sowhat like a little rascal. Sangsang smiled lightly, "I know you wouldn’t."
"Why?"
"Just wouldn’t."
Lin Chong sighed, "Hey, are you really naive or just pretending?"
Tian Sangsang: "This is the most basic trust between people. If you wanted to sell , I wouldn’t even be standing here now."
"I’m Lin Chong."
The sudden topic change took Sangsang a while to realize he was introducing himself, so she responded, "Sangsang, Tian Sangsang, that’s my na."
"Doesn’t suit." Lin Chong suddenly said seriously.
"Uh..."
"This na fits you better." Lin Chong casually looked her up and down, making a show of saying, "or maybe."
Sangsang blushed, is this a complint or a mockery?
Lin Chong led Tian Sangsang to the bus station. Sangsang walked quietly beside him, morizing the route.
The bus station was noisy, with people coming and going, carrying large bags, only Sangsang and Lin Chong seed most relaxed, with hardly any extra items on them.
Passengers boarding the bus took out money one by one, and suddenly...
Money from the 1980s, she didn’t have any!
Lin Chong turned his head, seeing her distressed look, casually handed over the money for her.
"Let’s go."
Hearing his voice, Tian Sangsang quietly breathed a sigh of relief inside, and silently, rembered his kindness.
The bus was quite crowded, the air very hot and occasionally, when a breeze blew, it could invigorate a person.
Sangsang felt nothing, just kept staring at the photo in her hand in a daze. Lin Chong curiously watched her side profile for a while, then turned his gaze outside the window.
The two of them got off the bus and headed straight for University A. It was noonti, and outside of University A, it was quiet.
Sangsang sighed in disappointnt, her current mood could be described as anxiety, the sun was strong, making her head sleepy, and they happened to be in class now. For now, all they could do was wait.
She stood at the school gate for a while, then turned to see Lin Chong already under a banyan tree not far away, waving at her.
He must be saying goodbye, after all, bringing her here was already very kind. Now it’s ti to say goodbye.
Tian Sangsang walked over, looked at him, ready to listen attentively.
Lin Chong: "Co sit here, what are you standing there stupidly for?"
Eh? Not leaving?
Lin Chong leaned against the tree trunk, eyes closed, beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Oh." Sangsang responded weakly, glanced at him, and sat under the tree behind him to rest. He truly was a beauty with rosy lips and white teeth, beautiful and kind-hearted.
