The Spring of Prince Syndrome

At the end of August, I went to school.

Tan Ruikang's ear stitches were removed, and it hasn't fully healed yet. The weather is hot, and Yuan Yuan is very worried. He wanted to take a few days off before going to report, but Tan Ruikang insisted not to use it. They had a quarrel at home, and in the end Tan Ruikang resolutely refused to ask for leave, so the two had to pack up their things and prepare to go to school.

After the two discussed and decided not to take the computer with them, Yuan Yuan also wanted to buy a new one. The one Tan Ruikang used was the one he had eliminated after graduating from junior high school, and he couldn't even run games on it.I plan to buy a laptop for myself.

According to Tan Ruikang, he used Yuan Yuan's high school computer to buy a notebook for Yuan Yuan.

Tan Ruikang: "I usually just go online and check the website! Why are you buying me such a good product?"

Yuanyuan couldn't stand him any longer, and said, "How can I take this machine with me? It's so heavy."

Tan Ruikang: "Don't worry about it, your computer will be on me after the military training."

As soon as Tan Ruikang took charge of the family, the two began to argue over money. In the end, Yao Yuan had to give in, carrying his luggage sullenly, and went to college with Tan Ruikang.

Yuanyuan means that when we arrive, we will buy new quilts and mattresses, which are the same ones, but Tan Ruikang felt that it was a pain to spend money, so he packed everything that could be packed, carried a hiking bag, and carried two large bags.

Yuan Yuan was really going to be driven crazy by him, and said: "Don't bring so many things, can you?! Your ears are not good yet, and it's easy to sweat when you carry such heavy things. You can buy them when you arrive!"

Tan Ruikang said: "You don't need to mention it."

"It's embarrassing!" Yuan Yuan finally called out the truth.

Tan Ruikang said: "Then call uncle to drive us? You don't want to ask uncle to take us there."

Yuan Yuan was speechless, his only thought was to hit the wall to vent, he himself felt that he was a psychopath.

The two loaded their luggage onto the train, and when they arrived in Guangzhou, they had to transfer again. Tan Ruikang was going to take the subway, and Yuanyuan was about to cry.A total of seven large luggage bags, on the subway will definitely be seen dead.

"Let's take a taxi." Yuan Yuan said.

Tan Ruikang: "Taxi here is no better than ours, it is very expensive! Although the starting price is only ten yuan, I checked the map, and it is dozens of dollars from here to the school..."

Yuanyuan couldn't say anything, so he waved his hands unconsciously, begging Tan Ruikang to stop talking.

They walked around outside the East Station, and suddenly saw the student counter in the University City campus, and they were saved immediately!

The bus took them to the University City, which was as big as hell. Yuan Yuan had never seen the world much except traveling since he was a child. At first, he thought it was just all the schools mixed together, using the same teaching building or a few very large canteens. After coming here Only to find out that's not the case at all.Since the expansion of the national college entrance examination, the number of college students has been increasing year by year, and the area of ​​the university town has never been larger.

And Tan Ruikang's campus is in Wushan, and he has to take another bus to take the subway. When Yaoyuan first arrived, he felt chaotic.Didn't you say that they are all in the university city?

Tan Ruikang looked at the map carefully, and then asked his brothers and sisters, and finally came to a conclusion that he was in Wushan campus in his freshman year, and he had to move to the university town from his sophomore year, and they were separated for only one year.

Well, just one year, one year is acceptable.

Tan Ruikang first took Yuanyuan to separate the big and small bags, and the two went to report.

"I can do it myself." Yuan Yuan said, "I really can."

"Then you go to line up." Tan Ruikang said with a smile, "I'll wait for you here."

The campus was so hot and sweaty at the end of August, I went to report from afar, got the dormitory key first, and the rest will be discussed later, the two went in to take a look, in the four-person room, only a boy wearing thick bottle-bottomed glasses was reading a book, looking up in a daze watch them.

"Hello." Tan Ruikang greeted him with a smile.

The man stood up and shook hands with Yuan Yuan, it was the first time in Yuan Yuan's life that he greeted Yuan Yuan so formally, he couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body.

"%￥#@," said the man.

Yuan Yuan introduced himself: "Zhao Yuan Yuan."

The man nodded, Yuanyuan couldn't understand what he said at all, the accent was too strong and he couldn't remember the name by nature, he basically forgot it after hearing it, looked around, and said: "Aren't you here? I'm sleeping... ...here." He chose a seat by the balcony.

There are four bunks, double-layer multi-purpose bunk, with a bed on top. Tan Ruikang said: "It's easy to be blown by the wind if you lean on the balcony, and it's not good to lean against the door... Let's just go here."

Tan Ruikang climbed up to make a bed for Yuanyuan, and Yuanyuan wanted to let him down, but Tan Ruikang ignored him and said, "I'll make the bed for you, but you can't make it yourself."

I walked around far away, looking at the balcony and the bathroom. There is no air-conditioning washing machine, but there are water heaters and electric fans.

"Did you come together?" the man asked.

"No." Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "He is my elder brother and sent me to study."

After a while, two more students came in and greeted Yuanyuan. Yuanyuan's mind was so confused that he couldn't remember their names, so he could only smile at them.

The five people were a bit crowded in the dormitory. Tan Ruikang tidied up the bed, Yuanyuan felt very embarrassed, so he hurriedly said, okay, I will do the rest, Tan Ruikang went out to look around again, and said that he would leave immediately.

Yuan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, took out the things, and hung them in the closet. This design is very good. There is a desk, bookshelf and closet under the bed.All four students are packing their things.

"Xiaoyuan." Tan Ruikang said: "There is a laundry room downstairs. You can find the auntie in charge and give her clothes to wash, so you don't have to do it yourself. Great, it's finally resolved."

One person was laughing there, Yuanyuan blushed and said, "I see."

Tan Ruikang smiled and scattered cigarettes for his distant roommates. One of them took one and tucked it behind his ear, and the other put it on the table. The boy wearing glasses waved his hand to indicate that he would not smoke.

"Please take care of my brother." Tan Ruikang said sincerely: "It's his first time to live in a group. Brothers, please be tolerant."

Yuan Yuan blushed in embarrassment, and when he was about to say something——

"Definitely." Another tall man smiled at Tan Ruikang: "It's the first time for everyone, it's fate to be together, take care of each other."

Yuanyuan Xindao really knows how to talk, so he can't learn these things by himself.

Tan Ruikang said, "I'm leaving."

Yuan Yuan said, "I'll take you down."

Tan Ruikang was carrying a bag and carrying a duffel bag in his hand. The two of them went down to the first floor. Freshmen wearing camouflage uniforms and hugging quilts were chatting happily and happily.Yuanyuan sent Tan Ruikang outside the school gate, and Tan Ruikang had to squeeze the bus and transfer to the subway, saying: "Brother, take care of yourself and learn to get along with new friends."

"I will." Yaoyuan said, dumbfounded: "Go quickly."

"Let's go now." Tan Ruikang said.

Yao Yuan felt a little empty in his heart, just now he said that he asked Tan Ruikang to go to his school quickly because he was embarrassed.

"When will we meet?" Yuan Yuan said.

Tan Ruikang said: "Contact by phone, if the two parties are not busy... After the military training is over, can we have dinner together every day after no class in the afternoon?"

Yuanyuan said: "Okay."

Tan Ruikang got on the bus and shouted loudly: "Be careful!"

Tan Ruikang didn't hear it. He took out his mobile phone on the bus, presumably to report to Zhao Guogang that they had successfully enrolled in school, and stood far away in front of the station, feeling indescribably disappointed.

He was left alone.

It's so strange, I used to live alone before. Four years ago, before Tan Ruikang came, Yuanyuan woke up alone, brushed his teeth and washed his face alone, and went out by himself to take the bus to go to class with his earphones. Why didn't he feel lost at that time?

As soon as Tan Ruikang left, Yuanyuan felt quite uncomfortable.

He turned around and took two steps, and a text message from Tan Ruikang came.

【Brother, it is enough to be sincere to others. The real you is very likable. There is no need to deliberately cater to or curry favor with anyone. 】Yuan Yuan looked up, saw Tan Ruikang on the bus raised his head and smiled at him, and gestured goodbye to him.

Back in the dormitory, their beds were all made up, the two new roommates were chatting, the tall man saw Yuan Yuan came back, and said, "That man was your brother just now?"

Yuanyuan said: "Cousin, but we grew up together and studied in Huagong."

"Where are you from?" another boy said.

Yuanyuan thought for a while, recalling Tan Ruikang's advice, and said honestly, "I...from Shenzhen. What's your name? I'm sorry I was too nervous just now, so I didn't hear you clearly...I didn't remember any of your names."

Several people in the dormitory laughed, and the man said, "My name is Zhang Jun."

Yuanyuan smiled and said, "My name is Zhao Yuanyuan."

The tall man said, "My name is Yu Haihang."

The boy wearing glasses said, "My name is Wang Ye."

Several people got to know each other just like that, Yuanyuan secretly remembered their names, sat on the chair, leaned on the back of the chair, and the tall man said again: "Your brother just finished his summer vacation and came to school with you?"

"Hmm... he's from Hua Gong." Yuan Yuan said, "It's also a freshman, but he's older than me."

"Did you repeat the third year of high school?" Wang Ye said, "I also repeated the year."

Yuanyuan said: "Well, I did repeat it in middle school..."

"CUHK's score is really high enough." Yu Weihang said, "We got [-] points..."

A few people started talking about the college entrance examination, and Yuanyuan realized that the admission scores of each college in different provinces and cities are very different.A guaranteed school like Shenzhen University, where all locals go to study if they fail the exam, actually belongs to the first batch in the inland provinces and cities!Still pretty bad.

The scores of CUHK and Huagong are also very high, and it took a lot of effort to get in from other provinces.

Even schools like Peking University and Tsinghua University have quite good preferential policies for Beijing students. If Tan Ruikang's study level is transferred to Beijing, he should be able to enter Tsinghua University steadily.

Fudan Jiaotong University has a preferential score for Shanghai locals. Correspondingly, it is also thanks to candidates from Guangdong Province that Yaoyuan can choose CUHK as its second choice.

There are still so many mysteries. Yuanyuan has never heard Zhao Guogang say that he and Yu Haihang in the same dormitory are majoring in communication engineering. This major is said to have good job prospects. The other boy wearing glasses and Zhang Jun are studying computer.

Yuanyuan always couldn't match the name, so he could only get to know the person first, and by the way, he nicknamed the boy wearing glasses Xiaodai.Because he is small and dull.

"You don't know that our scores in Shandong are higher." Wang Ye didn't know that he had already been nicknamed by Yaoyuan, and said, "Shandong is the cruelest place in the country's college entrance examination competition..."

The four of them just met, and the topic always revolved around the college entrance examination a few months ago. After talking about the scores, they talked about their majors. The computer department of CUHK is still good. In these years, it has begun to send talents to various regions in the Pearl River Delta, and the employment prospects are very bright.

After a while, someone knocked on the door again, from the same class, reminding them to get their military training uniforms and quilts.

Yuanyuan came out to say hello, and found that half of his class was boys on this floor, and they were divided into two dormitories, mixed with people from other colleges, so they went down with Yu Haihang to get the quilt and washbasin.

Yu Haihang said: "Your brother is very kind to you, go this way, don't run around. Have you ever been outside?"

Yuanyuan is unfamiliar with the place of life, and has been arranged by dad-type or brother-type nannies for many years. He can't even read a map. At this moment, he is like a pug thrown into a dog's kennel, with a confused and melancholy expression on his face. HNA can also see it.

"Why do you say that?" Yuan Yuan chatted with Yu Haihang while queuing up.

"I even made your bed and packed your things." Yu Haihang said with a smile, "I used to be your babysitter."

Yuanyuan smiled awkwardly and said, "Your parents didn't send you here?"

After smoking the cigarettes provided by Tan Ruikang, Yu Haihang said with a smile, "The travel fare is too expensive, so I didn't let them come."

Yuan Yuan nodded, knowing that his friends in the same dormitory were quite poor, except that Zhang Jun brought a computer and hadn’t unpacked it, the other Xiaodai and Yu Haihang didn’t have a computer, and Yu Haihang’s clothes were also very ordinary, sneakers Old and dirty.

"Would you please drink some water?" Yuan Yuan said.

Yu Haihang hurriedly said no, Yuanyuan didn't insist, bought a bottle of water by himself, and the two went upstairs with a lot of things, there were two days before the military training, and several people chatted in the dormitory.

In the evening, a very handsome brother came to teach how to pack quilts. He used Yuan Yuan’s quilt as a demonstration.

Yuan Yuan was a little nervous, and didn't hear what the senior brother was saying at all.He is very difficult to understand his own thoughts, how can he be nervous?Are you nervous about good-looking gays?It's over.

Things that have been deliberately forgotten for a long time in the distance are remembered again.

"Are you done?" Yu Haihang noticed that Yuan Yuan was distracted and reminded him.

The brother said: "Little handsome guy, I packed this for you, don't touch it, just carry it on your back for military training the day after tomorrow."

Yaoyuan hurriedly said thank you, the brother left, Yuanyuan was a little distracted, feeling very uncomfortable, he should be gay.

Homosexuality is homosexuality, what will happen to homosexuality in the future... forget it.

Yuanyuan said: "I'm treating guests tonight, let's have dinner together?"

Everyone hurriedly said no, let's eat in the cafeteria, Yao Yuan had no choice but to give up, and went to the cafeteria for a meal, the food was hard and unpalatable, the aunt in the cafeteria gave very few meat dishes, only a few ribs in a spoon.

"Is that all?" Yuan Yuan said, "The food is too bad."

"Meat dishes cost [-] yuan. Vegetarian dishes cost [-] cents." Zhang Jun smiled and said, "How much can I have? Auntie thinks you are handsome, so I already gave you more."

The four of them laughed, Xiaodai with glasses bought two vegetarian dishes, and Yu Haihang bought half a catty of rice, and added more after eating, saying: "You southerners don't eat steamed buns, and you can't be full after eating. You still have to eat steamed buns." .”

Yuan Yuan bought a bunch of dishes, he ate according to the fast food standard of ten yuan in high school, and each dish was only a small spoonful, which was not enough for a few bites.He ate a few mouthfuls of food, but it was not good, and the meal was even worse. Facing the dry and astringent rice, the weather was hot, and he had no appetite at all. not too good.

While eating, Tan Ruikang's text message came: [Brother, have you received your military training clothes?Have you got a meal yet? ] Yuanyuan: [I got it, I'm eating. 】

Tan Ruikang: [What do you eat? 】

Far away: [Braised pork, grass carp, sweet and sour meatballs, kelp ribs.Rapeseed, broccoli. 】Tan Ruikang: 【Retire early at night, how do you get along with your roommates? 】

Yuan Yuan: [Everyone is nice and gets along well, how about you? 】

Tan Ruikang: [My side is also fine. 】

Yuan Yuan didn't realize that he had ordered too much food, and left it alone until the other three started laughing at him for his waste, Yuan Yuan felt embarrassed and had to say nothing.

He found that after he went to college, the way of making friends as a child no longer worked.

I still remember that I was at the same table with Qi Huiyu when I was in the first grade of junior high school. Yuanyuan brought the imported Panasonic walkman, which was very expensive at the time, and listened to Qi Huiyu with earphones, and then took out milk boy candy for Qi Huiyu to eat. The two became good friends Yes, the box of candies was eaten and passed around half the classroom, so Yuanyuan also got the nickname Milkman.

Later, after finishing his physical education class, he was sweating profusely and went to buy water to drink. Zhang Zhen was beside him. Zhang Zhen said, "Milk boy, buy me a bottle of water."

Yuan Yao invited him to drink a bottle, and Qi Huiyu to drink a bottle, seeing Lin Zibo beside him, buying four bottles of water for ten yuan and not being too lazy to carry change coins, so he gave Lin Zibo a bottle.

As simple as that, the four of them became good friends.

Now when I meet strangers and become friends, there seems to be another topic-money.Although the roommates didn't say it clearly, the topics always revolved around the future, career, and material things.

When I was young, money was money, and money was just a piece of paper that could be used to buy food, drink, and play.

After growing up, these papers seem to carry more - life, background, social status, environmental differences, all people are thinking, if there is no now, there will be in the future.You have, I am not envious, because I will have it sooner or later through my own efforts.

After dinner, Yuanyuan sat at the table and flipped through the picture album. He was not very interested in the topics that his roommates talked about. They knew how to fight landlords and tractors.

They talked about employment, about work, about how much they can earn by working in Dongguan for a month, and at the same time they were full of expectations for the future of college students. The factory made hundreds of thousands of dollars, and talked about the customs of their respective hometowns...Yu Haihang liked Jacky Cheung, and asked Yuan Yuan to sing a few Cantonese songs to listen to it.

"You can teach us to speak Cantonese in the future." Yu Haihang said.

"Okay..." Yaoyuan said, on the verge of tears, "I promise you all will learn [-] sentences of Cantonese after graduation."

Yuanyuan tried a few times, and finally had to admit that he couldn't talk to them. He didn't know how important employment was, what deep meaning money had in relation to self-worth and social status, and he didn't know that Guangdong was already a place in many people's minds. Impressions of gold everywhere.

Yu HNA and the others studied harder than the other in high school.The concept of the roommates is that when they come to Guangzhou, they will settle down here, and then they will work in the Pearl River Delta, where the economy is developing rapidly, and take over their parents.

Yuanyuan has no idea about work at all. When people asked him what his family does, Yuanyuan only said that his father was running a small company, so he didn't dare to say more.He didn't dare to say that he had already decided to be the secretary of the general manager of a listed company when he was still in high school. Yun Yun, even about money, he still hasn't formed a clear concept.

Tan Ruikang gave him [-] when he was parting. While warning himself not to spend money recklessly, Yuan Yuan couldn’t help but spend [-] downstairs—buying drinks for the afternoon, drinks at night, drinks for tomorrow morning, hungry in the middle of the night. In order to eat snacks, I bought instant noodles, a small electric fan clipped by the bed, liquid mosquito coils, and a bunch of novels and comic books sold by my seniors.

When I bought it back, Xiaodai flipped through the comic books and picture albums in the distance, and said, "What's the use of buying these?"

"Look." Yuan Yuan smiled, "Otherwise, the next two days will be boring."

"Your family is quite rich." Zhang Jun said with a smile.

"No, no." Yuanyuan hurriedly said, he knew that Zhang Jun had no other intentions, just casually talking, but everyone noticed his clothing and behavior, and accurately judged that he was a young man from Shenzhen.

In their minds, they already had a rough outline of Yuanyuan—the father was busy with business, and he couldn't even come to send him to college in person, otherwise he would drive him to school, so his elder brother took care of him, spending generously, eating and drinking. A lot of dishes, and kept taking the initiative to invite people to eat and drink.

This is a strange world, far away finally touching a corner of society.

The work-study brothers downstairs with phone cards are still peddling. Yu Haihang and Wang Ye, who don’t have mobile phones, are using 210 long-distance calling cards to make calls in the dormitory to report their safety at home. Zhang Jun is spraying washing powder and rubbing the collar of his clothes. It was buzzing, the weather was hot and sticky, neither like air-conditioning at home, nor like the stars and summer nights in my hometown.There is no Tan Ruikang gently shaking fan, and no quilt to hug - in order to keep cool, Yaoyuan had to cover with a thin quilt, which is very unaccustomed, and he does not feel safe under the air-conditioning quilt.

After the lights were turned off, Yu Haihang was still chatting with Zhang Jun, talking about their respective love history, and Zhang Jun planned to find another girlfriend in college.

Yuan Yuan climbed onto the hard bed, smelling the aroma of electric mosquito coils in his nose.

Wang Ye smiled and said, "Fortunately, Zhao Yuanyuan bought mosquito coils, otherwise I don't know how to live without mosquito nets for a few days."

Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "You're welcome."

He was lying on the top bunk. The bed was so narrow that he couldn't spread his hands and feet. It was really impossible to live this day.

At that moment, he was homesick.

He turned sideways, blocked the light with the blanket, and texted Tan Ruikang: [Brother, I miss you. 】Tan Ruikang:【Xiaoyuan, I miss you too, I'm not used to not having you by my side. ] At that moment, Yuan Yuan’s sleepiness disappeared completely, as if some implicit confession had been answered, and his heart was both sweet and melancholy.

Tan Ruikang: [Go to sleep, don't be too late.Good night. 】

Yuan Yuan: [Good night. 】

Yuan Yuan was very hot, he was tossing and turning on the bed, Yu Haihang was still chatting with Zhang Jun, it was so noisy.Yuan Yuan wants them to stop talking, what is there to talk about, why is the topic of girlfriend chatting endlessly.

But he didn't dare to say, "You guys stop chatting, I want to sleep." After all, the people in this dormitory will live together for four years. He doesn't understand many things, and he is afraid that he will offend people on the first day.

And Xiaodai with glasses took off his glasses, lying on the bed and fell asleep, wrapped in the quilt like a bug and not afraid of the heat.

Every time Yu Haihang and Zhang Jun calmed down, Yuan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could finally go to sleep, but within a few seconds, Zhang Jun said, "Hangzhou girls are beautiful..."

So the two chatted again.

God!Yuan Yuan was so noisy that he wanted to curse, it was extremely painful.After he got out of bed and went to the bathroom a few times, it was quiet outside. It was already two o'clock in the night, and the two chatterers finally stopped talking.

Yuanyuan lay on the bed exhausted, and when he was about to fall asleep, Yu Haihang started to snore.

A distant Ji Ling was awakened immediately.

distant:"……"

Yuanyuan turned over almost maniacally, lying on the straw mat and couldn't sleep at all, thinking wildly in his head, it is said that the military training that will start in a few days will be more bitter and tiring...

He kind of doesn't want to live anymore.

At four o'clock in the night, Yuanyuan finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep, ending his first day of collective life after leaving Tan Ruikang.

At seven o'clock the next day, the monitors of the two departments knocked on the door and informed each of them that they would go to a meeting at eight o'clock, and the counselor had something to say.

Yuanyuan is going crazy, and he only slept for two and a half hours! ! !Still let people live ah ah ah! ! ! ! ! !
