faller

[-]. Soongsil Plaza

"Student, buy a bunch of flowers for your girlfriend."

Chen Tianhang remembered that it never rained in Baicheng in November, but today it was actually light rain.

The rain is not heavy, but the temperature in Baicheng has dropped in November, and now the temperature is rolling back and forth around a few degrees. The already biting winter weather plus the rain makes people feel chilly from the bottom of their hearts.Coupled with burning coal for heating, Baicheng is full of smog throughout the winter.Chen Tianhang is not short-sighted, but he feels that the world in front of him is gray and dirty, as if it cannot be wiped clean, which makes his whole heart wrinkle.

Chen Tianhang also felt cold, but this coldness not only came from the temperature in Baicheng, but also from his heart, from the activity they were going to participate in today.

Many freshmen are working part-time-study - selling flowers, and lined up from the school gate to Chongshi Square.Seeing Chen Tianhang's unmoved appearance, he still persistently asked behind him, "Senior, buy a bunch, buy a bunch for your girlfriend".

Chen Tianhang doesn't quite understand—isn't November [-] a holiday for singles?So you still want to buy flowers?But recently it seems to have become a shopping festival again...

Chen Tianhang was thinking wildly.

"Brother, don't you have a girlfriend?" Chen Chen, who was following behind Chen Tianhang, asked casually.In order not to let Baigong's teachers recognize him, Chen Chen wore a mask today.

"No," Chen Tianhang was still walking without looking back, "There are so few girls in our school..."

"Not now?...What about before?" Chen Chen pressed on.

"Why ask so many questions, don't tell me." Chen Tianhang replied, but he still didn't look back.

"I don't believe it." Chen Chen "cut", as if he didn't care.

Chen Tianhang was still a little shocked - he found that Chen Chen was already able to joke with himself.

"...What about your brother?" Chen Tianhang looked at the freshman selling flowers lined up all the way, and asked Chen Chen casually.

At this time, he and Chen Chen walked into Baigong's school gate - there were a lot of messy activities in the school today, although it was raining, there were still quite a lot of people, and a large group surrounded the school gate.

Chen Tianhang also saw a lot of girls from Baicheng Teachers College on the opposite side. The reason why he could judge that they were from the Teachers College was because there were too few girls in Baicheng, so it was impossible for so many girls to suddenly appear like this.

"It's quite lively..." Chen Tianhang thought.Associating with the girls from the segregated teacher training college is the only fun in their boring college life.

When Chen Tianhang thought about it, he realized that he had just asked Chen Chen about Yao Yuan.

Chen Tianhang didn't forget why he and Chen Chen were here today, and Chen Chen was in a good mood.Chen Tianhang felt that he was still a bit modest. If Chen Chen didn't want to talk about Yao Yuan, he wouldn't ask.But Chen Chen didn't seem to avoid this topic. They seemed to be talking about an old friend they had known for a long time, and they didn't avoid anything.Sometimes Chen Chen would take the initiative to tell Chen Tianhang about his brother.

Chen Chen's mood didn't seem to fluctuate, and he said, "No way...my brother has been studying..."

"Yes..." Chen Tianhang said, recalling the few parts about Yao Yuan in his mind.

Chen Tianhang thought of Yao Yuan's expression when he said to Yao Yuan, "Let me fail the exam".

"Will not."

"Study well."

Yao Yuan didn't say a lot, even before Yao Yuan fell from the building, Chen Tianhang didn't think about it.But ever since Yao Yuan fell from the building, Chen Tianhang felt that this scene was very clear—as if it just happened yesterday.I even remember every word Yao Yuan said at that time, I remember Yao Yuan's expression...

Chen Tianhang was stunned...

"Actually, it's not because my brother loves to study..." Seeing that Chen Tianhang didn't speak, Chen Chen seemed to think that Chen Tianhang was embarrassed, and continued, "My brother said before that he wanted to find someone in college, but the only girls in your school are the cleaning aunt, The aunt in the canteen and the aunt in the cafeteria, he said that it is very difficult for him to meet a girl, and he has nowhere to look for it.”

"Hey," Chen Tianhang said, "Is your brother still joking with you?" Chen Tianhang had never seen Yao Yuan joking, and he didn't expect that a top student like him would make fun of this kind of thing.

"Yes," Chen Chen said, "Why not? My brother likes to joke."

"Hmm..." Chen Tianhang was at a loss for words, he suddenly didn't know how to continue.But when he looked up and saw Chongshi Square, and saw the leaden sky above his head, Chen Tianhang suddenly realized that the person they were talking about no longer existed in this world...

"Brother, is it there?" Chen Chen asked.

Chen Tianhang saw Yuan Yin, and there were several boys and girls beside him. They stood at a corner of the square and distributed a bouquet of flowers to each of the students who came to the square.

Soongsil Square on a rainy day was gray and white, but the combination of flowers in everyone's hands gave it a touch of bright color.Chen Tianhang felt that the dirty, gray and messy Chongshi Square in front of him was not so ugly anymore.

Now, the neatly lined up team formed a circle, enclosing the open space under the teaching building—that was the place where Yao Yuan fell from the building.

"So many people..." Chen Tianhang heard Chen Chen's voice choked up, "I didn't expect..."

Chen Tianhang looked back at Chen Chen, and Chen Chen's eyes were a little red.Chen Tianhang did not expect so many students to gather in the square so early.

"Chen Tianhang——" Before Chen Tianhang entered the circle formed by the students, he heard Yao Yuan's roommate—Chen Tianhang's senior Yuan Yin calling him.

When Chen Tianhang walked over, Yuan Yin handed him a bunch of flowers: "Take one." Yuan Yin then handed a bunch of flowers to Chen Chen behind Chen Tianhang: "This classmate also takes a bunch."

"Thank you." Chen Chen took the flowers from Yuan Yin's hand, murmured his thanks in a low voice, then turned around and went to line up at the end of the circle formed by the students.

Chen Tianhang could tell that Chen Chen was crying, but he didn't seem to want anyone to find out.

"That's from our department too?" Yuan Yin pointed to Chen Chen's back, and said vaguely.

"Ah... yes." Chen Tianhang said with some embarrassment.He is really unfamiliar with Yuan Yin, "Senior, I'm going."

"You're here too?" A person standing next to Yuan Yin stopped Chen Tianhang, holding a large bouquet of flowers in his arms and sharing them with the students who came.It was Gao Zhen from Chen Tianhang's lab, "Where have you been fooling around these days? I didn't see you in the lab either."

"I'm busy," Chen Tianhang replied, "Why are you here?"

"Didn't Senior Yuan say that he hoped that our club federation would call on all the clubs?" Gao Zhen pointed to Yuan Yin, and then to the large bouquet of flowers in his arms, "And you know, right? This event is about Senior Yao’s, of course I have to come.”

It was only then that Chen Tianhang remembered that Gao Zhen seemed to be an officer or vice-chairman of some association association.

Chen Tianhang was holding flowers and preparing to go to the back of the queue when he heard a sudden commotion behind him.

"What are you doing?! Is there any approval for school activities?!" At this moment, a few security guards appeared from nowhere, and surrounded Yuan Yin and the others first.

"You didn't report to the school! Go back!" The security guards of the whole school should have been dispatched, and dozens of security guards immediately surrounded Chongshi Square.

"We have reported, huh, '2017, love you together, build dreams 18, dreams sprout', friendship with Teachers College—" Gao Zhen took out a piece of paper, which seemed to be the event report issued by the school .

"Why is the fellowship here? The place you reported is the auditorium. What are you doing here? I tell you, don't argue with me here!"

Holding the flower in his hand, Chen Tianhang looked back and was stunned. He didn't expect the school to send security guards to stop their private "sacrifice" so soon.

"I'll say it again, everyone will go back without reporting to the school!" The security guard repeated every word.

Yuan Yin acted as if he hadn't heard, he still stood and didn't move.

"We have reported, this is also part of our social activities..." Gao Zhen was arguing.

"College student, don't you understand what I'm saying?"

Good guy, college student?This hat is buttoned up quite a bit... Chen Tianhang no longer looked at it, he thought of Chen Chen.After running for a few steps, I saw Chen Chen, who was at the front of the line in the heavy rain, walking towards the security pile. Although he couldn't see his expression clearly with a mask on, Chen Chen seemed to have tears in his eyes.

It was the first time Chen Tianhang saw Chen Chen look so angry.

"Don't!" Chen Tianhang grabbed Chen Chen's hand.He didn't dare to be impulsive, and he didn't dare to imagine what attitude the school would have if they found out that Chen Chen hadn't left and instead stayed with them after Baigong.

"Why not? We didn't do anything?" Yuan Yin quarreled with the security guard.

"Yes, we have approval." Gao Zhen said.

"Whether you have been approved or not, you are clear! If you didn't report this place, this place is not allowed! If you didn't report this activity, this activity is not allowed! Can't you understand?!"

"Why not?" Before Chen Tianhang could stop him, he saw Yuan Yin, the others and the security guards start fighting.

Chen Tianhang dragged Yuan Yin - it was really unnecessary, he didn't want to see Yuan Yin, who was about to graduate and leave school, be "targeted" by the school like this.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Chongsil Square was in chaos under the rain.

Today was supposed to be a day for fellowship with the Teachers College, and there were still many strange activities for college students, but Chen Tianhang never thought that this year's Singles' Day would turn into this step by step - he was desperately dragging Yuan Yin to let him not be impulsive , Chen Chen also came up to persuade the fight.Yuan Yin should never have imagined that the masked boy who persuaded the fight was the victim's younger brother...

The rain was falling, and the flowers that Gao Zhen and the others had prepared fell crookedly on the ground, and the petals were scattered all over the ground...
