It's already 2:20.

"Go back, pack up and set off."

After exchanging a glance with Sun Chao, the two of them prepared to go back to the dormitory to get their bags.

But the next second, Lu Chen hesitated again, patted the former on the shoulder, and said seriously:

"Old Sun, you are right."

"Ah? What is that?"

"nothing."

......

......

At exactly 108: in the afternoon, six people from dormitory walked into the office building of the School of Management, chatting and laughing.

There are more than 40 people in the entire marketing major, but half of them are scheduled in the morning. In addition, the afternoon defense has been going on for some time, so now there are less than 20 people in the preparation room including them.

Everyone will go to the next classroom to defend their thesis in order, and each person will have about ten minutes.

Lu Chen is No. 2 in Group 3, behind Wang Tianyu, and will probably "enter the venue" at four o'clock.

"Come on, it's still early, let's have a go!"

As soon as they sat down, the sturdy boy took out his mobile phone and enthusiastically invited everyone to play together.

This man's name is Hu Cong. He has an ordinary and honest appearance. He is 185 cm tall and weighs 185 kg. He is dark and strong. His biggest hobby is lifting weights, followed by gymnastics, and third is playing games.

During the first three years of his four years in college, he remained single and once declared that he would never even think of a romantic relationship.

But shortly after his senior year started, this guy suddenly found a girlfriend.

The sophomore girl who studied accounting was not only very pretty, but also came from a well-off family. She often bought clothes and shoes for Hu Cong.

What’s more important is that it was this girl who pursued him.

This caused the rest of the people in Dormitory 108 to fall into deep self-doubt, and they all lamented that the speed at which human aesthetics change has reached a very fast pace.

Wang Tianyu, in particular, was so jealous that he gnashed his teeth and even repeatedly asserted that the two of them would not last more than a month.

As a result, it has been a year now, and Hu Cong and his girlfriend are still as close as ever.

Nowadays, what exactly is Hu Cong's charm? It has become one of the three unsolved mysteries of Dormitory 108, along with "the source of the stench that has lingered in the dormitory for four years" and "the disappeared toilet paper."

Not only is there no answer now, but it is estimated that there will never be a day when the mystery is revealed.

"No, I have to prepare for my defense."

Taking out a notebook from his bag, Wang Tianyu was the first to express his objection, saying seriously: "We have wasted too much time, and now we must work hard."

"Damn, isn't it a little too late for you to work hard after you've graduated?"

Hu Cong curled his lips and was about to say something, but the phone suddenly rang.

When he saw the caller's name, his expression immediately became extremely bright, and he stood up and walked out of the classroom.

"Hey, baby, what's wrong..."

"..."

The scene of a 185cm tall burly man shouting "baby" at the top of his lungs was very incongruous. Although Lu Chen had seen it many times, he still got goose bumps.

His ears automatically blocked out Wang Tianyu's chattering like "I don't accept" and "Why?" He also took out his notebook, opened the list of questions prepared by Zhou Yan, and silently went over the answers in his mind in front of the screen.

Gradually, seeing that Lu Chen ignored him, Wang Tianyu stopped talking.

Everyone else was also taking the time to prepare, and the small classroom soon became quiet.

“Chirp~”

"Cha Cha Cha ~"

The sun is shining outside the window, and the clear and melodious sound of birds can be heard from time to time among the green leaves.

Hu Cong, who was talking to his girlfriend in the corridor, had not returned yet. From time to time, a classmate who had just finished his defense would push open the classroom door and notify the next person to go to the next room.

There was a faint sound of a bell echoing in the distance, but I couldn't tell whether it was the bell for class to start or the bell for the end of get out of class.

Everything was so ordinary; it had been Lu Chen's daily life for the past four years.

But soon, all these ordinary things will say goodbye to him completely.

Of course, Lu Chen did not feel the slightest bit sad or melancholy at this moment.

Perhaps it was because he was still busy thinking about the "operability" or "academic value" of animals + abstractions, and had no time to think about these trivial things.

It may also be because he is not a sentimental person.

At the last class reunion after high school graduation, many girls in the class cried their hearts out, but Lu Chen remained calm.

In his opinion, there are too many such moments in life, so there is no need to be sad.

If you think about it carefully, this idea is actually not wrong.

After all, "the end means a new beginning", so if the future is something you look forward to enough, then there is no need to be nostalgic about the period that is about to end.

Perhaps, the time when people really miss the past is not the moment of parting.

But several years later, when you have just finished a shitty day at work, dragged your tired body back home, and are lying on the bed scrolling through your circle of friends, you accidentally see someone sharing a song "Friends".

It's when you have just had a quarrel with your wife, and you are exhausted and hide on the balcony to smoke, and you see students in school uniforms skipping by downstairs.

It is every year after the college entrance examination results are released, when you see all kinds of short videos showing scores on the Internet, as well as discussions about filling out applications in the comment section.

A classmate you had a very good relationship with in school suddenly told you that he was getting married, and after you considered it for a long time, you just gave him a red envelope and said helplessly, "I am not here to give you a gift, I wish you a happy wedding."

Perhaps only at these moments will you miss the carefree times in the past and remember those who accompanied you at that time.

As Marquez wrote at the beginning of One Hundred Years of Solitude -

"Many years later, as Colonel Bondia faced the firing squad, he would remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to look for ice."

It can be seen that when people are most vulnerable, they will always look back instinctively, trying to comfort themselves with the most beautiful pictures in their memories.

So when Lu Chen was busy preparing for the last "exam" before graduation, Lu Shuyu, who should have been here but was now thousands of miles high in the sky, was silently recalling the afternoon when she and Lu Chen "first met".

"Lu Chen, can you be my friend?"

"Lu Chen, can you take me around the campus after dinner?"

"Lu Chen, can I go to your dormitory to take a look?"

"Lu Chen, can you still take me out to play in the future?"

"..."

The roar of the plane's engines continued but was not annoying.

Because of the time difference, it was pitch black outside the porthole, without a trace of light.

With her hands clenched gently, Lu Shuyu quietly looked out the window at the night sky. The mobile phone on the small table was flashing a faint fluorescence.

"Ding~"

A ringtone sounded, and Lu Chen turned to look at the phone next to him.

After clicking on the new message he had just received, he was stunned for a moment.

Qin Wanqing: [3'']

Ok?

voice?

With his mouth slightly opened, after a moment, Lu Chen solemnly clicked on the voice message.

Then, Qingbao's voice was heard from the receiver.

"Hey, can you hear me?"

"..."

Wow, so this first meaningful voice message is used for testing, right?

Shaking his head in confusion, Lu Chen was just about to reply, but before his finger landed on the screen, Qingbao's second voice message came.

"When will you come? I miss you~"

"..."

"Old Lu, what are you doing?"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"What's the matter? It's your turn. Go quickly!"

......

......

At 4:12, Lu Chen walked out of the defense classroom.

The whole process went very smoothly.

He first read the PPT, then answered a few questions that were all on the list compiled by Zhou Yan, and then bowed and left.

It took ten minutes in total.

Although all the teachers were a little surprised when they heard the idea of ​​"animals + abstraction", fortunately they didn't say much.

Even after listening to Lu Chen's explanation, some people showed appreciation.

After all, compared with other people's papers that look very impressive but are actually full of nonsense, Lu Chen's paper is at least innovative enough.

And this is the situation that has been corrected once by Liu Yuanhai.

If we follow Lu Chen’s original idea of ​​animals + borderline, the level of innovation can probably be said to be unique in the world.

"Old Sun, it's your turn."

After returning to the preparation room and saying something to Sun Chao, Lu Chen sat down and immediately put away his computer.

"how is everything?"

On the side, Wang Tianyu, who had finished ten minutes earlier, had already started a game of King of Glory. While playing, he asked, "Did you pass?"
