In the afternoon, the three-story Fenglu Restaurant was very lively. Bright bud lights hung on the olive walls, and the floor was also in light green. The decoration in the entire restaurant was very bright.
Because it is a newly opened restaurant, it has recently placed a lot of advertisements in Payin City. Its main party suite has also attracted many recent graduates.
In the corridor, you can see many young faces walking around, chatting together from time to time and talking about recent current events.
"I've graduated. To be honest, I'm still a little used to it." Jones leaned against the window on the second floor of the restaurant, flanked by several familiar male classmates.
"Where can we go to play after the party is over? We can't just leave after dinner."
"Let's talk about it when we fall. I don't know what the girls' plans are. We will decide now. They will be dissatisfied and troublesome when they fall." Jones felt the breeze blowing from the window and closed his eyes slightly.
Since receiving the admission list, his parents no longer have the same restrictions on him as before. Now is the time when the spring breeze is triumphant. Even if he does nothing, he can feel the refreshing breeze by leaning against the window.
"Looking at him like that, you almost laughed in your dreams." Not far away, Caesar couldn't help but complain when he saw Jones like that.
"Ahaha, I'm in a good mood now, so I won't care about you." Jones waved his hand, indicating not to disturb his tranquility and joy at the moment.
A few people laughed and talked about the whereabouts of their classmates after graduation.
"Although our class's grades have always been average, there are still a few students who went to good schools."
"Needless to say, Jones, he was just lucky enough to get into Sword Gate Academy, a school ranked among the top 9 in the North Seventh District, based on his athletic skills."
"Other ones that I heard are good are the Duke Academy that Hus applied for. This is a school in the North Second District that specializes in training mechanical engineers. Tuition is free, but after graduation, you need to work at Duke for five years, which is considered
It’s a well-established and strong school in the North Second District.”
"Tulan wanted to apply for the military academy, but unfortunately he failed during the second test."
"Su Lun is said to have gone to an unknown academy in the southern fifth district. It seems to specialize in training underwater operations."
"As for the others, there is not much to say. Most of them are ordinary high schools in the North Seventh District. They are thankful to have Sequence 3 when they graduate." A group of people shook their heads. Many of them are still Sequence 1, and they are probably entering.
After high school, you can reach Sequence 2 after various accumulations and preparations.
"As for the girls, what I just talked about was almost all about us boys."
"As for the girls, the ones with the best academic performance are Hesia, Fornara, and Pauline."
"Fornara went to a waiter academy. It is said that it specializes in training service personnel for high-end hotels. The requirements for appearance and body shape are quite high. It is said that the salary is also good."
"Pauline, I don't know much about it. She just transferred here in the third year of junior high school. Her parents are said to be company technicians who were transferred to Payin City. I guess she will study in the same direction as her parents in the future. This will save her a lot of detours."
"As for Hesia, one of the few people in our class who was promoted to Sequence 2 in advance, it seems she didn't do well in the exam this time. It's a pity that she is not on the admission list of Erin Academy."
"Is Heshia really studying? I seem to have heard from girls that she usually just pretends."
"I don't know if I'm pretending or not, but it's pretty impressive if he can advance to Sequence 2." The boy said casually while leaning against the wall.
"That's true. If I have reached the level of Sequence 2 before graduation, I can get a lot of extra points when I apply for the exam."
"It's too hard to study. It's not a big deal if I don't have Sequence 2. I'll just go up to high school in the future. My dad was like this back then. He said that the extraordinary sequence is actually not that useful. Money is more important. He asked me to learn business from him in the future.
.”
"Hey, that's your family, but we are different. If I had a rich father, I could lie at home every day."
Everyone was talking about their future plans. Most children from ordinary families in the Federation did not have very high ambitions. Having a stable and good job in the future was what many of them pursued throughout their lives.
While several people were talking about the whereabouts of their classmates, there was a burst of voices outside the suite they had reserved, and soon a few girls walked in.
"Hey, you guys are all here." Du Du was still wearing slightly exaggerated clothes, with a mature style that did not match his age.
Some familiar faces also walked in behind her, Milly, Lina, and a few other good people.
There are a total of 46 people in their class, including 21 girls and 25 boys. Among the girls, the most active ones are Lina and Dudu. Most of the others are also in this circle, and only a few stand out.
"Are you all here?" When they saw that everyone was almost there, someone asked.
"Count it." Then there was the sound of counting.
"There are still 5 left. Let me see. They are Clara, Turan, and Hesia..."
At the same time, a group of students were also gathered in another suite of Fenglu Restaurant, but it was a little quieter here, and only occasionally bursts of laughter could be heard.
"Clara, do you want to leave early?" A young lady with short chestnut-blond hair asked curiously. The girl in front of her wearing a short jacket and shorts didn't talk much today and seemed to want to leave early.
"Well, I've basically met all the classmates in the class. I'll leave the meeting early. The main reason is that today is also the junior high school's party, and I have to go and take a look."
"Hey, is there a junior high school class reunion? Where is it? Can you make it in time?" The eldest lady with chestnut-blonde short hair is called Yilin, and she is also the initiator of this elementary school class reunion.
“It’s just downstairs.” Clara gestured and smiled, seeming to think it was a coincidence.
"I'll see if there's time in the middle. If so, I'll come over." After she finished speaking, she waved her hand coolly, then opened the partition door of the suite and walked out.
After seeing her leave, another girl not far away came over.
"What's wrong Yilin, did Clara leave early?" Cindy came to the young lady's side.
"She said she has a party to attend, so I won't keep her here. I will pack a meal for her later. We are classmates after all, so we can't forget it."
"You are still so meticulous." Cindy said with a smile.
"Cindy has also become good at talking. Oh, let's not talk about it. In fact, she has recently started to take over some things at home and has been taught a lot by her parents." Yilin shook her head.
Among her classmates, she has the best family background. Her family runs a small beauty company with branches in Payin City and several nearby cities.
"Oh, by the way, where's Tilan? Didn't Cindy say she'll be back today?" Yilin thought of her childhood playmate.
"She, let me ask, she should be here soon." Cindy picked up the personal terminal.
After a while, Cindy put down her personal terminal and said that Tilan would be here soon.
But, the real situation is that Heshia has just stepped off the star tower and is hiring a hover car on the roadside.
"Okay, I understand, I'll be there soon." The girl put down the personal terminal in her hand, and a hover car slowly stopped in front of her not far away.
After boarding the car, the girl directly stated her destination, and the hover car immediately started.
She didn't expect to chat for so long. Heshia recalled the situation in 'Liu Li Meng' just now. In fact, she didn't think about going to two schools at the same time at the beginning. After all, the difference in school spirit was not small, but after Mrs. Isabel's suggestion
, and still agreed to such an arrangement.
At least in her opinion, Mrs. Isabel has no ill intentions, and she doesn't know much about the situation at the top of the federation. This arrangement may have Mrs. Isabel's unique intention.
When you are young, you should listen more to the advice of your elders. This is better than running around blindly without understanding the situation.
The girl was thinking about what happened today, and the personal terminal in her hand vibrated slightly. Soon she received the official admission notices from Toite Academy and Edes Academy, and the notices even included a statement of joint training.
This is not a copy-and-paste admission notice.
"This is really..." The girl couldn't help but click her tongue in her heart. She seemed to have underestimated the importance of this matter.
Switching the page, she used the key on the notice to enter the official website of Edes Academy, started to search, and soon found her name on the admission list of the public examination.
This announcement was issued less than a minute ago, and it seemed that it was officially issued after Heshia confirmed the situation.
As for the Kite Academy, it will probably be later. According to the performance in the conversation just now, the Kite Academy seems to be passively participating in the fight. The teacher Hunell also told Hirsch before leaving.
Ya, a formal announcement will be made later, and the follow-up training plan will be discussed in detail with the school directors in the next few days.
Feeling so flattered, the girl leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes to reflect.
What happened today seemed like a dream. Before, no one cared about her, and she had a hard time even getting into a good school. Now she has become a hot topic for top schools to compete for.
After a while, she shook her head and opened her eyes again.
Don't think about these things for now. We are going to the class reunion soon. Cindy is probably anxious because she made a phone call just now.
Two minutes later, the hovercar stopped at the corner of the street not far from Fenglu Restaurant, and Hesia got off the car.
The reason why we didn't get off directly in front of the restaurant was naturally to avoid some people.
She picked up the personal terminal at hand and answered Clara's call.
"Are you here, Hesia, wait a moment, I'll go downstairs right now." There was a noisy ambient sound over there, mixed with a burst of cheers.
After a while, Clara seemed to move to a slightly quiet corridor before continuing to speak.
"The boys in the class were making noise just now. Jones is probably going to bleed heavily this time... Everyone else has basically arrived. Cindy Yilin and the others are in the 'V-31' on the back side of the third floor. You can come in through the side door. I'm here."
Then I’ll wait for you.”
After hanging up the phone, Heshia straightened her hair and dress a little on the side of the road and walked quickly to the agreed place.
Walking into the slightly quiet side entrance, Clara was leaning against the stair railing and flipping through her personal terminal. She raised her head when she heard footsteps.
"He... Shia?" She looked at the beautiful girl in front of her, wearing a bright red and pink and white dress, and felt a little unbelievable for a moment.
"It's me. I'm sorry for keeping Clara waiting for so long." Hesia walked over. Her appearance today was indeed a bit 'out of the ordinary', or it was too much beyond the impression she usually left on people.
"I'm afraid this outfit is not cheap." Clara shook her head, but didn't say much.
Heshia probably didn't want to embarrass herself in front of her classmates in elementary school, so she spent a lot of money to buy or rent this outfit. She understood. If she were on her own, she probably wouldn't want to look down and out in front of her old classmates.
Well, after all, Hesia was once the center of everyone, the girl who was liked and noticed.
"You can go up the side stairs here and turn left on the third floor. My junior high school classmates are in the suite on the right on the second floor. If you don't go downstairs on the way, you shouldn't run into them."
"Okay." The girl nodded and walked up the stairs.
The stairs are paved with carpets, the mahogany handrails are still looking new, and the corridors are illuminated by hanging lanterns. Under the sensitive perception, various voices in the room not far away are also faintly transmitted to the ears.
In the shaking perspective, as the steps moved up step by step, the memories in Heshia's mind continued to regress, and scenes from her childhood emerged one after another.
"Hesia Tilan, this is my name."
On a warm afternoon, standing in a classroom with slanting sunlight, a little girl wearing a blue and white dress timidly spoke.
Outside the window, the mother and teacher looked at the little girl on the podium, cheered her up, and then watched her continue to introduce herself.
After class, several children of the same age crowded over.
"Hey, it's Hesia. Is Tilan your last name?"
"Grey hair is so rare. Can you touch it?"
"Hello, my name is Ruo Kai. I am the monitor of my class. If you need anything, you can contact me." A little boy patted his chest confidently.
The little girl surrounded by everyone was extremely nervous, but she still spoke slowly. She shook her head at first.
"Hexia is my name, and Tilan is also my name. My hair is natural. Well, although it is different from my mother's, my mother said it looks good this way." The little girl spoke with a slight stubbornness, as if she was working very hard.
He had to speak louder, otherwise it would become the usual faint sound of mosquitoes buzzing.
Because her mother cheered her up yesterday and said a lot of words. She didn't want to disappoint her and make her sad. Heshia wanted to be strong. This was what she thought at that time.
After a few months, the classmates in the class gradually became familiar with Heshia.
"Wow, was it your sister who came to pick you up yesterday? She is such a beautiful person."
"Yes, it's my sister, she is very powerful." She may be quiet and unconfident when it comes to herself, but when it comes to her sister, the little girl is always very happy and proud.
"I'm so envious..." The other children gathered around Heshia.
Two more years have passed and everyone has grown up a bit.
"Tilan, do you want some candy? My mother bought me a big box yesterday and I'll give you some too." Yilin held up a small and exquisite box with colorful candies inside.
"Yilin always prefers Hesia so much. Every time there is something good, she always brings a piece to Hesia." The classmates around her said slightly jealously.
"Thank you." When Heshia was a child, her face was a little baby fat, she hugged the box of candy and accepted it.
After school, she found the classmate who had just spoken and opened the box in her hand.
"Give."
In their small hands were four candies of different colors. Although the children did not know the specific brands, they vaguely knew that these candies were not cheap. They were rare and expensive T4-level candies.
"Do you want to give it to me?" The classmate looked at the box in Hirsch's hand. The cylindrical box was not big. Although it was very delicate, it only contained 20 candies in total.
"Well, here you go." Hesia opened her black eyes wide, revealing a kind of pure sincerity.
"Well..." After taking the candy, the child opened the wrapper, took it out and put it into his mouth. A rare sweet and mellow feeling came from the tip of his tongue.
"Okay, I'll just stop saying bad things about you in the future." His words were unclear while he was eating candy, and the child was a little embarrassed to come.
Under the sunset in the simulated sky, Heshia continued to give him the remaining 5 candies before leaving, and then followed her father home.
The next day, Hesia brought a return gift from her mother, which was an oriental-style pastry.
"Is it for me, Tilan, thank you." Yilin accepted it happily, and the two of them held hands and went to play on the swing.
Time goes by slowly, and everyone grows up another year.
"How to solve this question, Tilan." The young Cindy stood beside the girl troubled. She didn't want to ask the teacher because there were several children around the teacher.
"Let me tell you." At that moment, Heshia confidently picked up the pen and started writing to her good friend.
Outside the window, children were playing with a ball, some were chasing each other, or they were sitting under the shade of a tree and reading the newly bought picture books at school.
"Why aren't Tilan here? You must have forgotten to make an appointment with me. It's a rare Friday afternoon activity time." Yilin looked around with the picture book in her arms, then trotted back to the classroom, and saw that
The girl in the corner talking to Cindy.
"Sure enough, I got pestered by them again." Yilin walked over and lay down across the table between them, waiting boredly.
In fifth grade, it was Hesia's birthday.
"This is the cake we made for Tilan~"
Several boys held candles, with cream on their faces, cheering enthusiastically. Opposite them, Heshia, who was surrounded by many girls, slowly walked out embarrassedly and stood in front of the cake filled with candles.
.
"Thank you everyone." Her face was red and she bent over to express her thanks. This was her first birthday at school.
Because her elder sister went to high school and gradually revealed her extraordinary talents, her parents' attention unconsciously shifted to Themisia. She has also felt a little neglected at home recently. Every day she hears and sees adults talking about Themisia.
Regarding Messia's affairs, some important people came to visit from time to time, but she had to hide in the bedroom.
Knowing that Heshia was unhappy recently, her good friends invited her to come to school to spend her birthday together. After school today, everyone stayed together to accompany her.
"What wish did Tilan make?" Everyone asked her after she closed her eyes to pray and blew out the candles.
"I hope you all will be good friends forever."
The picture in my memory finally stopped at this frame. At that time, Hesia, Cindy, Yilin, Luo Kai, Mikey, and other familiar friends were holding hands and surrounding the big cake.
He spoke of his simple and flawless wishes at that time.
Time has passed so long without realizing it. Heshia slowly woke up from her memories. The faces in her memories had not been seen for many years.
Since the death of her sister, the family has undergone drastic changes. She has also moved away from her former residence and stayed away from her former classmates and friends. Later, she even deliberately avoided them because of her low self-esteem and did not want to be seen in such a poor state.
Three years have passed and many things have changed. Everything is no longer what it was yesterday.
She came to the closed suite door, held the handle, and slowly opened it.
"I'm back."
I was a little stuck on the text, but I still wrote it 0 0/
