With the hope of my parents, sister and many relatives and friends, I came to this school that many people have never heard of, amidst the astonishment of neighbors. Although when Dad sent me here, he couldn't help but feel some guilt after seeing the school's environment, saying that if it weren't for his loss of confidence in me due to my usual behavior, he wouldn't have forced me to attend this school, and today's irreparable consequences would not have occurred.

  But for a country where the elderly hold dominant and strong positions in families, it's heartwarming to hear my dad say such things. Yet, at the same time, I've reaffirmed how important it is to stick to one's own views...

  The brothers in the dormitory had a good impression of each other after a few days of contact, and they completely eliminated their unfamiliarity with each other through a group poker game. The atmosphere in the dormitory also began to warm up slowly. Since two brothers have been living in relatively closed rural areas since childhood, when they first came to the relatively prosperous city, it was inevitable that they would be excited, and they were one of the few people I had seen who praised the school's environment and facilities. In order to let them understand the true cruelty of this world and help them establish a correct worldview, under my proposal, I took them to Heida, which is just a street away, hoping to change some incorrect ideas in their minds through real examples. From the expressions on their faces when they entered the gate of Heida University, it was clear that they did not have a clear and comprehensive understanding of the true nature of the school. After we strolled around the campus for a while, they proposed returning to school with complex expressions.

  They returned to the dormitory with a pessimistic mood on their faces, and I don't know if it's cruel or not, but what caught me off guard was that the pessimistic mood they brought quickly spread slowly within the dormitory.

  The boring and formalistic military training made us spend our evenings talking about the girls in our university to kill time. Lao Er had been silent for days, never showing enthusiasm for this topic, so we couldn't help but admire his calmness in this college atmosphere while feeling small ourselves. But unexpectedly, when I brought up this familiar topic again today, Lao Er suddenly joined our conversation with an extremely professional tone, dividing the overall quality of our school's girls and describing the distribution of beauties. For the rest of the time, we could only listen to Lao Er's professional explanation with a sense of shame.

  "Old Two, why didn't you express your opinions on these issues the other day?! Damn it! You even made us misunderstand that you're a decent person! It got to the point where we were being overly cautious when discussing this topic, afraid of corrupting you, and not daring to use certain words!" San Pang complained from bed.

  I've always thought the topics you're involved in are too superficial, so I didn't want to comment, but today I just can't help myself! Second brother said innocently.

  Starting from today, the topic of girls will be hosted and guided by Lao Er every day, and we can only learn humbly with a bystander's attitude...

  For purposes unknown, high school teachers paint college life as incredibly wonderful, so high school students rush towards university campuses like bulls eager to mate. But when these innocent and ignorant young intellectuals discover that the college life sketched by their teachers is merely a beautiful utopia, they will feel a huge psychological gap and from then on think that life is dull.

  So I often went to visit classmates from various universities in Harbin to temporarily comfort my boredom. But after all, classmates are limited, and when I really couldn't think of anyone else in Harbin who was a high school classmate that I could find an excuse to visit, Zhao Lijia - a middle school and high school classmate of mine - called me, making me suddenly feel a glimmer of hope in my boring life.

  "Hey! How have you been lately?" Zhao Lijia asked me over the phone with a seemingly concerned tone.

  "It's all right! What!? Didn't go to work today!?"

  "Really!? Kang Jian! Tomorrow is an important day, do you still remember?" Zhao Lijia started to say mysteriously over the phone.

  After I confirmed that it was neither a national holiday nor some memorable days for me, I expressed my regret to Zhao Lijia.

  "Have you thought it over carefully?" Zhao Lijia said in a soft and sweet tone on the phone, which was quite inconsistent with her usual bold and boyish personality, making me stand up all my body hair naturally and feel a chill.

  I've thought it through carefully! I'm quite sure I said that to Zhao Lijia.

  "Think again!!!!! Zhao Lijia regained her usual overbearing tone, somewhat angrily telling me, and hearing her familiar tone also made me feel a lot better."

  I've tried so hard! But I still can't remember! I helplessly said to Zhao Lijia.

  "Damn it! Kang Jian! You're really something! Tomorrow is my birthday! Have you forgotten?! In high school, when I was celebrating my birthday, you got drunk and insisted on pissing at the girls' dorm entrance! If I hadn't been holding onto your belt, you'd be in prison for hooliganism by now!!! Didn't you say back then that we had to remember this piece of history, remember the lesson?! Zhao Lijia yelled at me over the phone, and I could faintly hear the sound of a girl laughing in the background."

  "Isn't there someone next to you?! Can't you keep your voice down a bit?! I said with some guilt."

  "Cut the crap! I'm furious right now! You'll see about it tomorrow!" Zhao Lijia yelled hysterically over the phone, then furiously told me where he was treating us to dinner tomorrow before hanging up...

  As the only female friend who has been with me since junior high school, and started calling each other brothers after a sentence in high school, I felt guilty for forgetting her birthday. So, on the second day's afternoon, I skipped class and rushed to Central Street to buy a silver necklace as a birthday gift. Although Zhao Lijia is like a boy in personality, she is still a woman after all, and some women's nature has not been completely lost, so she is still interested in small accessories, especially rings. However, according to my understanding, giving her a ring at the birthday party in front of so many colleagues and friends seems likely to cause rumors, so I changed to buy a necklace instead and took a taxi to Zhao Lijia's dinner place.

  The already congested traffic in Harbin became even more severe during the evening rush hour, with a long line of cars refusing to budge another step just two blocks away from the restaurant. It was like being constipated and unable to push through the final barrier, making me feel extremely uncomfortable. So I had no choice but to get off the bus and walk the rest of the way.

  Because I was always in the dormitory receiving oral teachings from Lao Er, I also started to develop a habit of unintentionally observing beautiful women on the street. At this moment, an enchanting back appeared before me. Her tall and slender figure, long legs, and flowing hair made me start having infinite fantasies, and I became infatuated with this enchanting back as I followed her walking frequency to complete this not-so-distant road.

  Although curious about her appearance, considering the second elder's experience summary reminded us that when such a situation occurs, the wisest choice is still not to walk over and look at her face. The fact told him that in 80% of cases, when you excitedly walk up to see the other person's face, you will be extremely disappointed. So it's better to let her enchanting back silhouette stay in your mind, letting you have an interest in continuing to imagine.

  "Tong Chen......!" At this time, another girl's voice sounded behind me, causing the girl in front of me with a captivating back view to subconsciously stop and turn around. Given Lao Er's teachings, when I realized she was about to turn around, I secretly prepared myself for disappointment.

  Although we often complain about how unlucky we are, low-probability events still occasionally occur in our lives. When she turned around, the face that entered my eyes made me extremely disappointed with the mental preparation I had already made, because the face in front of me was a fascinating and classical beauty, which was quite different from the usual experience taught by Lao Er, and this result directly caused me not a small visual shock, forcing me to subconsciously stop my footsteps as well. From admiring her back view, I immediately changed to admiring her beauty.

  She slowly walked towards the girl behind me, and I could increasingly feel her charm. When I brushed past her for a moment, she also stole a glance at me, and in that unintentional eye contact, I had a suffocating feeling like being electrocuted. And when her long hair brushed against my cheek in the same moment, under the gentle caress of the wind, combined with the faint fragrance floating from her hair, it completely conquered me and made me deeply remember her name... 'Tong Chen'.
