Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

There were no strikes in the Italian railway system, and Dong Qiangqiang easily bought a return ticket.

He came out in a hurry this time, and because he was not sure whether he would have time to study on the way, he only brought a Chinese textbook. The fact was similar to what he expected. Except for the temporary leave last night, he had no time to study, and yesterday At night, he was intoxicated with the night view of Venice and did not read. The high-speed train from Venice took more than 7 hours to reach Munich. The guilt caused by being lazy last night made him dare not waste time anymore, and he devoured the entire book at every opportunity. After going through it once, although extensive reading is not more reliable than careful reading to grasp knowledge, Dong Qiangqiang has a rough idea of ​​which chapters the key concepts are distributed in. If he hears related concepts in class later, he will be able to find the corresponding chapters as soon as possible and read them first. If you understand Chinese, you won’t sigh while reading.

Given that Munich train station is a large transit hub in southern Germany, the high-speed train will stop at the platform for eight minutes.

The sky seemed to turn dark instantly. The train roared into the station. Dong Qiangqiang paid full attention to Du Lan's trace. Just when he saw a person similar to Du Lan passing by in front of him, the headlights of the platform stopped. Unexpectedly, it suddenly opened fully, and the bright light made him close his eyes for almost a second. He could only quickly record the position of the other person in his mind, then stood up rockingly while holding on to the back of the chair, and when he could see things clearly, he started to walk towards the nearest car door. move.

As soon as the car door opened, he jumped out of the car door like a spring that was pressed to the bottom, and ran like the wind towards the place where he saw Du Lan just now.

Du Lan was wearing Dong Qiangqiang's favorite blue and white Adidas sportswear. When she saw Dong Qiangqiang running towards her from a distance, she slowly opened her arms, ready to give him a big hug.

When Dong Qiangqiang ran to a distance of two or three meters away from her, Du Lan was about to hug her when he saw Dong Qiangqiang suddenly bent down. Du Lan thought he had tripped over something and was startled. He was about to help him. But she saw Dong Qiangqiang rushing towards her, wrapping his arms around her legs, and then lifting her up.

Leng Buding was lifted high, and Du Lan didn't react for a moment. He was afraid of falling, so he reflexively hugged Dong Qiangqiang's neck.

"Would you like a merry-go-round?" Dong Qiangqiang was already spinning around before Du Lan could answer.

Du Lan waited until he had completed two turns before he remembered that he had forgotten to hold his hat. As soon as he raised his hand, he found that the hat on his head had already been lying quietly on the ground.

"Five months and seven days." Du Lan's slender fingers gently dug into Dong Qiangqiang's long hair, "Didn't you take care of your hair this time when you returned to China? Your sideburns are so long, they should be cut."

Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang refused to let him down, Du Lan was at a loss for a moment, and he didn't dare to provoke him. He could only say repeatedly: "Xinxin. Let me down first. I have something for you, otherwise it will be too late when the car starts driving." ”

"How long have we not seen each other?" Dong Qiangqiang still did not put down Du Lan, but looked at her face carefully. The haggardness on her face was clearly visible, "Six months?"

"I ate when I went back home, and I still ate when I came back. During the two days I traveled to Italy, it was all about carbohydrates: bread and jam for breakfast, pasta at noon, and pizza at night. How could I not be fat? But you don't have to worry, I will lose weight when school starts. If you still don’t lose weight, I will lose weight.”

"Has it been so long? If I don't see you again, I'm afraid I won't be able to remember your appearance." Dong Qiangqiang said to himself, "I miss you, do you miss me?"

"What are you afraid of? Let them see." Dong Qiangqiang said domineeringly, "Do you believe I can lift higher?"

She saw that some passengers passing by the two of them were not looking at her, and some foreign girls of similar age smiled meaningfully when they passed by. Their faces suddenly turned red like apples in early autumn. She didn't know why Dong Qiangqiang was so excited today. (Even abnormally), he could only pat Dong Qiangqiang's shoulder and whispered: "Put me down quickly, there are so many people (watching)."

Du Lan held his cheeks with both hands and pretended to look at him seriously for a moment: "He seems to be a little fatter, and there are dark circles under his eyes. Well, he is not as handsome as before. I only want handsome guys, not fat guys."

"You didn't think about it?" Dong Qiangqiang deliberately raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes, pretending to lift Du Lan higher. She was so frightened that she quickly shouted: "Okay, okay, I have thought about it, I really have. You can put me down now." Bar?"

When Du Lan thought that this was indeed the case, he ruffled his hair a few times and pinched his stubbled chin. His eyes were full of affection: "You are not fat, you are fine now, there is no need to lose weight. I like you both fat and thin.”

"You seem to be much thinner than the last time I saw you. Are you too tired from class and exam preparation?" Dong Qiangqiang said distressedly, "Take it easy and don't take too many exams at once. It's not worth it if you collapse from exhaustion later."

"Yeah, I know." Du Lan patted the back of Dong Qiangqiang's hand. Then he gently placed her on the ground.

Du Lan took out a thick envelope from his schoolbag and handed it to him: "Read it on the way."

"What is this? Could it be money?" Dong Qiangqiang pretended to shake it hard.

"I found some study methods and information on political economics from the Technical University of Munich. It must be different from what you studied. You can check it out on the way and pick out useful references."

Dong Qiangqiang was moved for a while. Du Lan always cared more about him than he did about her. He never cared about finding information for Du Lan or anything, but always troubled her. He held Du Lan in his arms guiltily.

"What is the final result? Is Lao Bai's matter serious?" In fact, seeing Dong Qiangqiang's condition, Du Lan guessed that Lao Bai was probably fine, but he still asked out of concern.

Dong Qiangqiang succinctly described a series of things that happened in the past few days. He thought Du Lan would show surprise and surprise after hearing this, but she had no reaction to the masked man's attempt to hijack the car and the old white man's group trip with the rich second generation. Lao Bai expressed his understanding and regret for losing his fighting spirit.

"Can you still receive the group now?" Dong Qiangqiang asked before remembering that Du Lan had been preparing for the exam since January, and patted his forehead, "I'm sorry, I forgot."

"You want to help Lao Bai take over the team? You have to know that what you and I can do is very limited."

"No, I don't want to help him pick up the team. I just want to know the real situation recently. You know, he doesn't want to talk about it now."

"I heard that there were a lot fewer (tour groups) in January, and I'm afraid there are even fewer now. He was really unlucky. He encountered SARS just after he raised money. It can only be said that everything is fate, just like Leslie Cheung also escaped It’s the same as your own fate.”

"Did you hear that too?"

"Everyone has been discussing this in the past few days. Everyone is shocked. After all, there were no signs at all before, and it was gone when people said it was gone." Du Lan looked disappointed, "It is really a pity, so young... listen Say it’s depression.”

Dong Qiangqiang suddenly remembered that after he entered school last year, he couldn't understand the class for a period of time and was slightly depressed, and suddenly became silent.

"What's wrong?" Noticing Dong Qiangqiang's abnormality, Du Lan reached out and touched his forehead with concern, "Are you feeling well?"

"No, I just suddenly remembered what Lao Bai said before setting off at noon today. He may also be depressed."

"Modern people may be a little bit depressed to some extent. You, me, everyone living here will inevitably be depressed." Du Lan comforted.

The imminent departure bell rang above their heads.

"Depression means competing with yourself. When I was rejected by all the universities I applied for last year, my whole state and mentality became distorted. I felt that my fate was unfair to me. I became cynical about everything I looked at, and I was a broken person. Although I finally stepped forward before the winter semester. I got the admission notice at the last second, but maybe I fell into the root of depression at that time.” The bad memories made Dong Qiangqiang feel painful, but he still insisted, “I really didn’t realize it until I saw what Lao Bai is like today. Realizing that when life doesn't turn out the way I expected, the only right thing I can do is to adjust my mindset and keep working hard, while always believing that everything will be fine. I know this is easier said than done. If it really falls on me, I’m afraid I’m not much better than Lao Bai, so if one day I become depressed again, I hope you can wake me up or even scold me, just like you did before.”

"I will always be by your side." Du Lan said softly, "I also hope that you will be the first to think of me when you are uncomfortable, so that I can share your pain, or help you rebuild the armor of resilience. If you don't I would like to say that you should also try to get yourself out of the dead end of your thoughts. At any time, you must stay away from the wrong idea that "no effort can change anything, and we will eventually fail." You just need to remember one thing: no matter it is Whether we change direction, retreat or circle in circles, we are always on the way forward." (End of Chapter)
