Chapter 2 Back to Eighteen
"Brother Ye! Brother Ye! Wake up, wake up, we'll be there soon!"
While he was drifting off to sleep, Wang Ye suddenly felt someone shaking his shoulder.
Opening his sleepy eyes, he was stunned.
This is where!
Aren't you sleeping in bed?
Why are you appearing on a minibus now?
The young man sitting next to him, shaking his shoulders, looked familiar, but I couldn't remember who he was for a moment.
Wang Ye numbly turned his head and looked at the car window next to him, and found a white mist on the glass.
Just as he raised his hand to wipe the car window to see what was going on outside, he was surprised to find that he was wearing a thick down jacket!
After all, he is in his thirties and has been practicing in society for so long, but he can still maintain his composure.
Wang Ye calmly stretched out his hand and wiped the glass with his sleeve, finally able to see clearly what was going on outside.
After just one glance, he was shocked again.
Because outside the car window, there is a vast expanse of white...
It's night now, and the minibus is speeding along the empty road. Under the dim light of the street lights, goose-feather-like snow is floating in the air and slowly falling on the ground.
The snow on the roadside has accumulated to a height of about one meter!
I haven't seen such heavy snow in how many years...
A question suddenly popped into Wang Ye's mind.
He went to university in Moscow, a damn place where it snows for at least half a year.
This kind of heavy snow is extremely common and is not surprising.
But since I returned to China after graduation, I have never seen such heavy snow again.
Just when I thought of this, the minibus happened to pass by a gate.
This gate is very simple, even crude, because it is just an open iron gate, which can be seen from the road at a glance.
Directly opposite the gate is a large gray-white building. It is not tall, but it occupies a large area.
The square main building looks like a huge stone with several rows of eye-catching black Russian letters "Российскийуниверситетдружбынародов".
Wang Ye recognized it at a glance, it was the "Friendly People of Russia"!
That is my alma mater...
In an instant, memories came flooding back like a tide.
Wang Ye recalled that this scene should have been on January 1, 2001. He had just arrived in Moscow and was about to start his study abroad career.
Now we are taking a minibus on our way from the airport to school.
But the problem is, these things were all twenty years ago!
I have obviously returned to China a long time ago and have lived in Pengcheng for many years!
Could it be that I am dreaming...
………………
Turning around to look inside the minibus, seven or eight energetic faces came into view.
They are all seventeen or eighteen years old, both male and female. Everyone has a smile on their face, full of longing.
Some people still seemed familiar to Wang Ye, but some people he could no longer remember.
At this time, the boy sitting next to him, the one who pushed him awake, said with a smile: "Brother Ye, you have already arrived at school. I heard that the school is on holiday now, and we have to wait a few days before classes can begin."
Wang Ye's heart moved and he blurted out: "Liu Xiaojie?"
The boy was stunned for a moment and responded blankly: "Ah? What's wrong, Brother Ye?"
Wang Ye's heart surged, it turned out to be Liu Xiaojie!
but……
This is Liu Xiaojie more than ten years ago!
He was also the classmate with whom I had the best relationship during college.
However, after graduation, Wang Ye returned to China, while Liu Xiaojie stayed in Russia to develop.
The separation lasted for more than ten years, and gradually the two lost contact.
Don't think it's strange that Wang Ye can't remember other classmates. If you go to college in China, your classmates are generally familiar with each other. Perhaps more than ten years after graduating from college, you can still remember the names of many classmates.
But studying abroad is completely different.
The relationship between classmates is relatively weak. After all, we all came to study in the same batch and were in the same class as preparatory students.
After entering various majors, they may not be in the same class.
In addition, everyone is usually busy with their own affairs, some are studying seriously, and some are sitting in the dormitory playing computer games every day.
There are also many people who work part-time while going to school and usually don't see anyone.
In this case, how could everyone be so familiar with each other?
Therefore, after studying here for several years, I only have a few classmates who are relatively close to each other. I am only familiar with most people by name, and I really have no relationship with them.
What's more, I haven't had much contact with him for more than ten years after graduation, so it's normal to not be able to remember his name.
…………
He stretched out his hand to open the car window a crack, and the biting cold wind blew in his face. Wang Ye shivered suddenly and his mind became clear.
"Don't open the window, Brother Ye, it's freezing to death. I heard it can get to minus 20 or 30 degrees below zero at night." Liu Xiaojie next to him was also shivering from the cold and said quickly.
Wang Ye had a smile on his face and closed the car window again with a snap.
Although he doesn't know what happened, whether it's a dream or rebirth, he is now eighteen years old...
Everyone, when they grow up, has fantasized about what they would be like if they could live their lives over again.
Then now is your chance!
Wang Ye is already eager to try his "second" life!
How many times did he realize how many opportunities he had missed when he recalled his life as a student abroad?
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as he seizes those opportunities once, his life will not be as pale and feeble as it was later...
But this is life, when an opportunity is placed in front of you, most people will not realize how rare this opportunity is.
Only a handful of people seize the opportunity and then become so-called successful people.
………………
The old minibus drove ricketyly into the campus on the left side of the road and stopped in front of an old building that was not tall but very long.
Wang Ye is very familiar with this place. This is the preparatory dormitory building of Friendship University. Everyone usually calls it "Building No. 6".
There are a total of thirteen dormitory buildings in Youda's dormitory area. Except for Building 13, which is a high-rise building, the other dormitory buildings are all old-fashioned buildings with only six floors.
It is said that these buildings are forty years old and were built when the school was founded.
The street outside the dormitory area is called "Mikluha Maklaya" Street. Both sides of the street are the campus of Friendship University, with the teaching area on one side and the dormitory area on the other.
The leading teacher sitting at the front of the minibus stood up and greeted everyone: "Everyone, take your luggage and get off the bus with me. Be careful not to leave anything behind. The dormitories have been arranged for everyone. I will check in later."
Go and help everyone check in and take everyone to their rooms one by one. You can just wait in the dormitory lobby and take a rest."
The students in the car all pulled their suitcases and got off one by one. Wang Ye deliberately waited until the last one before going to the back of the car to get his luggage.
Because he could no longer remember what his suitcase looked like, so in order to avoid picking up the wrong luggage, he just went to pick it up last...
At the end of the process, when Wang Ye went to pick up his luggage, he found that in addition to a huge hard plastic trolley case, there was also a bulging red mesh bag. Through the mesh, he could see a blue plastic washbasin inside.
There were two large white plastic bags stuffed inside the basin.
After being stunned for a moment, Wang Ye reached out to pull the suitcase, but he couldn't pull it even after pulling hard. The suitcase was too heavy!
