A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 492 Youth is priceless

After a group of classmates greeted each other, they walked into the restaurant in twos and threes, and then began to spontaneously gather around a table in groups of three or five.

There are a total of 42 students in Class of Grade in Jinling No. Middle School where Lu Cheng is located. of them came to attend the class reunion today, which is considered to be a relatively complete group.

They were all a group of students, with about ten people sitting at one table. If there were more people, they would add an extra chair to squeeze in.

Seeing Lu Cheng find a seat and sit down, several girls in the class immediately came over and sat opposite Lu Cheng. Lin Jingyi walked to Lu Cheng's left and sat down, which naturally attracted the attention of a group of boys.

Today is our first reunion after high school graduation, and it is different from all the previous reunions. In the past, we were all high school students, and we had to wear conservative school uniforms at school. At home, our parents also repeatedly told us not to fall in love too early and to study hard.

Now, the university admission letters have been sent to our home, everything has been settled, we are all adults now, and our parents are less strict with us.

Just looking at the girls sitting opposite Lu Cheng, they basically changed into nice clothes, and some even put on makeup.

Even Lin Jingyi, who was sitting next to Lu Cheng, had a faint scent of lilies on her body.

"Old Lu, you and Lin Jingyi are both in Dongda University, you can continue to be classmates in the future."

"That's right. This time, quite a few of our classmates were admitted to local universities in Jinling, including two from Nanjing University, two from Southeast University, four from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and some from Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Nanjing Agricultural University, and Nanjing Normal University."

As Jinling local candidates, many people like to apply for local universities when applying for admission. Generally speaking, those who can be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University will naturally apply to Tsinghua University and Peking University, followed by Nanjing University and then Donghai University. Of course, this is not absolute and depends on personal preference.

"Actually, I wanted to go to Guangdong Province, but my mom didn't want me to travel so far, so I chose China Southern Airlines."

"I would rather go to Yanjing, but my score doesn't allow it."

"Jingyi, with your grades, you should have no problem going to Nanjing University. Why did you go to Dongda University?"

"Well, I felt that Nanjing University's admission line might be higher, so it's better to be conservative." While saying this, Lin Jingyi secretly glanced at Lu Cheng who was sitting next to her.

In fact, there were no secrets in the class. Everyone knew that Lin Jingyi liked Lu Cheng. Before applying for college, she specifically asked Lu Cheng where he had applied. It was most likely that she applied to Tokyo University because of Lu Cheng.

"Don't talk about me, what majors did you choose?"

“I chose accounting.”

“I’m in finance…”

When these prospective college students sit together, the main topic of conversation naturally includes their future schools, the majors they are going to study and so on.

Different from other students’ dreams, expectations and excitement, Lu Cheng’s goal is very clear. Now that his youth has come back again, he must study and make money in college life, but he also must not let his youth go to waste.

Amid the students' chatting and laughing, the food was served and beer was placed on each table.

A boy at the same table picked up a bottle of beer, bit open the cap with his teeth, and pretended to be full of enthusiasm: "Classmates, we are now college students and adults. From now on, we will go our separate ways and it will be difficult for us to have the chance to go back together. Come on, let me start with everyone, let's have a drink together!"

"Okay!" Several other boys also joined in the fun, and even a few girls looked over. The boy holding the bottle of wine became even more excited and blew directly into the bottle.

"Gudong gudong" he finished a whole bottle of beer in one breath, then the boy put down the bottle and continued: "I won't fall until Qingdao falls, and I won't float until the snowflakes float. Today, we won't go home until we are drunk!"

"Brother Xiao Ma, take it easy. We haven't even eaten the peanuts yet. Don't get yourself drunk first."

"Hey, with our alcohol tolerance, we can't get drunk even if we drink beer. Lao Lu, Da Zhou, let's drink together!"

Seeing this, Lu Cheng also smiled, picked up a pair of chopsticks, pried open the bottle cap, clinked his glasses with the other party, and started drinking as well.

The girls didn't drink beer. Each of them had a bottle or two of Arctic Ocean in front of them. They also raised their drinks and clinked glasses together.

At the beginning, everyone was lively and talking and laughing, but after one or two bottles of beer, a few boys could no longer control their mouths and started chattering about the good times of their three years in high school and expressing their sadness at the impending farewell.

The boy named Zhang Mingwei who stood up first, after drinking the fourth bottle of beer, his face turned red, his eyes stared straight at Lin Jingyi who was across from him, and suddenly said: "Lin Jingyi, I have liked you for a long time!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the entire table suddenly became quiet, and students at several tables nearby also looked over here.

Lin Jingyi, who was sitting next to Lu Cheng, was also stunned, her face slightly red, then she stood up and smiled slightly: "I am honored by your kindness. It's just a pity that I have never been moved. Zhang, you will definitely meet a girl who has you in her eyes and heart in the future. I wish you happiness. Let's shake hands. Thank you for liking me."

Zhang Mingwei's face flushed, he stretched out his hand and shook hands with Lin Jingyi, then sat back down without saying another word.

Perhaps, being able to stand up and express his feelings loudly at the moment of parting had already exhausted all his courage.

After all, this kind of thing will definitely be remembered by classmates for the rest of their lives, and in the eyes of many people, it is somewhat embarrassing.

Seeing that Zhang Mingwei's confession was rejected, the two girls sitting opposite Lu Cheng also pinched the love letters hidden in their pockets, looked at the tall and handsome Lu Cheng opposite them, and finally could only sigh in their hearts and no longer had the courage to take them out.

Lin Jingyi, who rejected Zhang Mingwei, glanced at Lu Cheng inadvertently when she sat down. Seeing that Lu Cheng was still calm and seemed to care about nothing, she felt a little disappointed.

But thinking that they would both be studying at the same university in the future, and would have many opportunities to meet and many excuses to get together, Lin Jingyi rekindled her fighting spirit.

Youth is a book that is read too hastily. We read it again and again with tears in our eyes.

The hazy first love is sweet and sour, some of it is said out loud, and some of it is always hidden in the heart.

Three years of being classmates in high school may be more memorable than four years of college life.

At this moment, another boy stood up and said with a smile: "Today is our last gathering before entering university. Let me sing a song for you."

"it is good!"

"Will you remember tomorrow?

The diary you wrote yesterday...

Who married you who is sentimental?

who read your diary

who put your long hair up

Who made your wedding dress?"

The song "You, My Deskmate" was sung a little out of tune, but the emotions expressed in it were so pure and simple that some girls couldn't help but shed tears silently. Even a few boys had red eyes as they looked at their favorite girls.

During the lunch, which lasted from noon to evening, several students drank too much and were either talking nonsense, snoring, or vomiting all over the floor.

Walking out of the restaurant and onto the street, Lu Cheng was about to ride away on his bike, and Lin Jingyi followed him on her bike: "Lu Cheng, it's still early, do you want to stop by Xuanwu Lake?"

"Alright."

Soon, they walked side by side by Xuanwu Lake. Lin Jingyi hesitated for a moment before she spoke: "Lu Cheng, before... I heard from Liu Xin that she saw you painting at the Drum Tower Square. Do you... need my help?"

"No, thank you. I'm just bored, so I'm practicing painting and making some pocket money."

As classmates for three years, Lin Jingyi naturally knew Lu Cheng's family situation. She wanted to help Lu Cheng, but was afraid of hurting Lu Cheng's self-esteem.

"How much do you charge for a painting? Can you draw one for me?"

"Of course. It's just a painting, no money required."

"Then I'll treat you to a meal first. Let's go eat salted duck together tonight. How about that?"

Lu Cheng turned his head and looked at the girl beside him. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her face, and the breeze blew her hair. She was indeed the most moving look of youth...
