Chapter 147 Youth Never Ends, the Future is Full of Promises!

17: 40.

Li Xiaoxiao and Lin Xiaoyu rushed to the school.

Upon arriving at the school, the two noticed that it seemed a little different. They couldn't quite put their finger on it, but what was obvious was that there were many more people there.

A tour bus was parked in front of the indoor stadium.

Several people wearing light blue T-shirts were walking back and forth.

The words on the T-shirt were a bit hard to read from the distance.

However, the two astutely noticed that there were even more teachers than usual.

Students taking science exams return to school on Sunday evenings for evening self-study sessions. Usually, only the homeroom teacher is present; other teachers who teach the subjects will not come.

This evening study session relies entirely on self-discipline; you can come or not, but the vast majority of science students will come.

In particular, a mobilization meeting for the scientific expedition was announced today.

Hmm, it must be because there's a pep rally going on, so all the teachers came, right?

Ugh, I have to sit there and listen for ages during meetings, which means I'll miss doing a few practice tests!

……

Li Xiaoxiao did well on the exam this time, improving by 10 places compared to before, ranking 17th in the class. This huge improvement gave her more confidence.

With her parents, teachers, and classmates now showing her more care and attention, and being more willing to communicate with her during breaks, she has gradually begun to overcome her social anxiety and autism.

I arrived at school early so that I could watch Ye Xian's new song short video with Lin Xiaoyu.

The two of them are now studying together, and they make sure to check their phones together every time, just to keep each other in check.

We only check it once a week; no one is allowed to use their phone too much.

Ye Xian has been releasing new songs very frequently lately, which has led to his school's radio station playing his new songs on a loop every day.

Almost every student at Huacheng No.1 Middle School knows songs like "Youth," "I Believe," "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky," "When," and "I Will Wait."

Even the newly released songs "Goodbye" and "Wish You a Safe Journey" have been listened to for many days in a row. While they relieve stress, they have also inevitably brought a touch of melancholy to everyone.

Graduation is just around the corner!

It's time to say goodbye to my best classmate!

After three years together, it's over just like that?

I'm so reluctant to leave.

As soon as Li Xiaoxiao arrived on campus, she noticed a new song playing on the campus radio. The melody was very catchy, and she immediately realized that it was Ye Xian's new song.

The school announcer is an absolute die-hard fan of Ye Xian, so the only thing that could make her change songs during this period of time is Ye Xian's new song.

The two couldn't wait to sit down, take out Lin Xiaoyu's phone, each with an earphone, and watch Ye Xian's short videos together.

"Hello everyone, I'm Ye Xian. I'm a full-time seller, a part-time cook, an occasional singer, and a storyteller in between."

The familiar opening, the familiar narration, the familiar horizontal shot.

This time, Ye Xian's horizontal shot begins with the back view of a couple in school uniforms walking side by side. The two are not holding hands, but are playfully teasing each other as they walk into the distance.

The camera pans up, revealing three large white handwritten characters against the azure sky.

"The wind is rising."

Small print below: Lyrics/Music/Singing by Ye Xian

"We traveled and stopped along the way"

Following the trail of the boy's drifting journey

……

Still so warm

The wind blew back the past

... "

The camera pans down, and the scene shifts to the classroom.

The camera focuses on the last row, where everyone is doing exercises. Suddenly, a boy passes a note to the girl sitting next to him. After the girl opens the note, her face turns red with embarrassment, and she quickly lowers her head and buries herself in her arms.

On the roof of the teaching building, a male and female student stood facing each other, their hands loosely clasped, practicing the simplest four steps of the cha-cha.

When I first came to know this world

lingering in all kinds of ways

……

Turning the pages of time, each a different facet

Unexpectedly, your smile appeared.

... "

On the playground, a group of boys were sweating profusely, chasing a small ball around the soccer field.

In the distance, a group of girls sat on the stands, chatting and occasionally glancing at the playground.

Beside the playground, a notice wall was covered with students' densely written blessings.

The camera suddenly zoomed in for a close-up:

"Liu Ru, I like you, will you be my girlfriend?"

"No, we need to study hard. See you in university!"

"Okay, let's do our best together!"

……

Damn, Brother Xian is so good at capturing the camera! These are all things I experienced back in the day!

How innocent and carefree those youthful days were! I was punished by being made to stand in the corner so many times for passing notes. Now I have a big belly, and my childhood sweetheart is gone!

[My youth is over, tears are streaming down my face! Little Pear, are you married yet?]

Dude, she's already had a baby, mine!

……

Happy graduation! May your future be bright! Wishing us all the best in achieving our goals and successfully landing our desired jobs!!!

I don't want to be the last person to leave the dorm; loneliness will make it hard to sleep the night before I leave!

How fortunate we, the graduates of this year, are! Brother Xian used the power of song to bid us farewell! It allowed us to retain the beauty of the past, to completely release the sadness of parting, and to guide our fears about the future! Thank you, Brother Xian!

……

The camera zooms in again.

On the edge of the playground, a row of high school students squatted by the railing, with lunch boxes in front of them. Outside the railing were eager parents and grandparents who had come to bring their children dinner.

A group of high school students sat around a barbecue stall. One boy played the guitar, while the other boys sang along. There were also many spectators nearby who sang along and applauded.

In the library, students were engrossed in their studies, and no one dared to make a sound.

On the subway, a male and female high school student were leaning against the window. The boy was helping the girl solve a calculus problem.

……

Ahhhh, I saw my high school days again! My grandma brought me lunch for three years, I miss it so much!

The days of grinding through coding problems were so painful! I still want to cry when I think about them!

The most unforgettable moment was the night after the scientific expedition. A few classmates and I went out for barbecue, drank my first bottle of beer, and stayed up all night for the first time in my life. When we parted in the morning, everyone's eyes were red!

[A female classmate used to keep asking me questions, which annoyed me, so I ignored her. Now she's married with kids, and I'm still single!]

……

Lin Xiaoyu and Li Xiaoxiao's eyes reddened as they suddenly realized that they too were about to graduate!

In less than three months, everyone will be going their separate ways.

University is wonderful, but we're scattered all over the country, and nobody knows when we'll meet again.

The sorrow and unease of impending separation left them all feeling somewhat lost and disoriented.

……

Come to think of it, I've never experienced love before.

Lin Xiaoyu was somewhat lost in thought. She had been busy doing practice problems for the past year and suddenly realized that she hadn't even experienced the purest first love during the most beautiful years of her youth.

Perhaps I'm just a rather outdated science student!

I was once overwhelmed by the vastness of the world.

Also indulging in sleep talking

……

Let your heart guide you, and let things take their course.

Walking against the light, braving the wind and rain.

... "

As the chorus begins, the camera shifts again to the gate of Haizhou No. 1 High School, where Ye Xian stands amidst the crowd, facing the direction in which the flow of people departs.

Hundreds and thousands of students, wearing school uniforms, rode bicycles, walked, alone or in groups, all with smiles on their faces, heading towards the distance.

The once bustling teaching building is now empty.

The stadium, once a vibrant and exciting place, is now empty.

The quiet library is now empty.

The once bustling cafeteria is now empty.

The lush, tree-lined avenue was now empty.

……

Ye Xian's camera lens travels through all these corners of the campus that can evoke everyone's memories.

[Brother Xian is so good at this! I saw my whole youth reflected in this scene! This shot is so emotional! I can't take it anymore, I'm going to cry first!]

Three years! My favorite cafeteria and playground will be gone forever! All I can say is, I'm still single. I didn't even hold a girl's hand in high school!

I miss those days when we'd sit in the hallway, leaning against the railing, enjoying the view and the breeze, encouraging each other and sharing our deepest thoughts. We saw each other every day back then; now it's been ten years!

I truly envy those of you with such rich stories. In my youth, only four powerful words resonated: Good! Good! Learn!

……

The audience in front of the camera, as well as Lin Xiaoyu and Li Xiaoxiao, broke down in tears.

Finally, the empty campus was left with only an old man slowly closing the gate.

A magnificent sunset paints the sky, and the beautiful campus is captivating.

"Youth never ends, the future is full of promise!"

"Everyone, we've graduated!"
