June is our farewell song

"That was the last art festival in the old campus. Although our school's art festival is still much bigger than other schools, compared with ten years ago, it is still much more restrained. Back then, Nanhua's art festival was like The things that everyone looks forward to the most in life are the same, and all the things that you can’t summon up the courage to do and say, will be realized in those three days.”

"But compared to now, I actually like today's art festival better. At that time, everyone was over excited and every time it caused trouble. Every time someone wanted to do something grand during those two days, others didn't care. Whether you want to participate or not, you have to sign the joint application. If you don’t sign, you will be despised by other students. Small individuals cannot defy the will of the group. Thinking about it now, although it is the same as what people talked about later School violence is quite different, but in the eyes of the teachers at the time, it must have been difficult to bear."

The time Teacher Shiyu remembers sounds as far away as the content in a history book to Gu Yuan. It is hard for people who were born in different eras like him and Teacher Shiyu to imagine what youth was like in the past.

"Everyone already knew about the relocation of the school, but the principal didn't announce it until the art festival that year. He gave a speech at the flag-raising ceremony in the morning, talking about his school-running philosophy and future goals, etc., but actually The core content of the website is refined management and increased learning time, and an important part of it is the deletion of activities. The first one is the art festival with the longest time and the most active students. The time has been shortened from three days to two days, and cut A series of activities were lost, and at the same time, the student union, which was originally an event organizer, was reduced to a puppet manager of statistics and coordination."

"After the principal's speech, there was an uproar among the students immediately."

"They stormed the principal's office?"

"That's impossible. Even if they have the guts, they don't have the ability. But the dissatisfied students pointed the finger at their peers—the principal's son, who was the chairman of the student union at the time. Logically speaking, he was also a victim. But they are used as a tool to vent their anger." When teacher Shiyu said this, he took a sip from the teacup on the table and put it down, his eyes flicked over the school uniform on the wall, and finally returned to Gu Yuan's body, "We immediately decided to let him go first, otherwise, with the enthusiasm of the crowd at that time, a beating would be considered light."

"He?" Gu Yuan showed a puzzled expression, "Who?"

"Si Junmo." Teacher Shi Yu was surprised by Gu Yuan's doubts.

"He's the headmaster's son??"

"Yeah, didn't he tell you? But the relationship between the two of them has always been bad. I don't know exactly what kind of conflict it is. Anyway, he almost never takes the initiative to talk to the principal in school." Teacher Shiyu continued Going on, "Actually, the fact that the two of them are father and son has always been a rumor in school."

"Rumour?"

"Well, after all, the two of them don't talk at all except for work, so everyone has been just guessing. Only Chen Ge and I know this is true."

"But after that day, everyone will know."

"That's right, we let him leave the school temporarily for safety's sake, but it's equivalent to acknowledging the truth of the rumors in disguise." Teacher Shiyu gently held her chin with her fingertips, and the sunlight slipped in through the gaps in the curtains for a while. The lock just landed on the center of her eyebrows, dividing her delicate face into two halves, light and dark. "People who couldn't find an outlet were calm for a while, but after the speech in the morning, everyone could feel that The atmosphere in the school was tense, it was clear that the sky was clear, but there was an illusion of black clouds overwhelming the city."

"But wouldn't doing so arouse the students' resistance, and would it lead to accidents?" Gu Yuan was a little puzzled, "Principals and the others probably don't want accidents to happen at such a critical time, right?"

"Everything is in their plan." Teacher Shiyu's tone was flat and emotionless, but Gu Yuan could feel the smell of anger from her word-for-word narration. The news was announced, and the students naturally split into two factions. One group hoped to take this opportunity to teach the principal a lesson, and the other group hoped to spend the last art festival in the old campus in peace. Both sides argued endlessly, while The relocation of the school site, which had always been an issue, was ignored.”

"Shift the focus and conflict..."

"That's right, and when those guys couldn't find Si Junmo, they even threw their anger that had nowhere to vent to the literature club." When he said this, Gu Yuan clearly noticed that Teacher Shiyu's tone was a bit off. "We are also victims. Among the activities that were cut off, there were obviously the Feihua Party and Qushui Liushang that the Literature Club had prepared for a long time. These shameless guys were regarded by them as the principal's accomplices, and they were locked up in the prison." The activity room was closed for a whole day."

"After that art festival, there was an additional layer of barriers between everyone and the members of our literary club, not to mention Qiu Ling, who was not very gregarious. What I know is that she has been locked up since she was locked up. , until the last day, I didn’t have much contact with anyone outside the classroom.” Teacher Shiyu looked at him, her gentle eyes seemed to be able to see directly into the boy’s heart, “It was also after being locked up, she suddenly told me that she wanted To work part-time, and at a bar. I asked her if she was short of money, and if so I could lend it to her, but she just shook her head."

"Under my repeated questioning, she told me that the place where I work is an underground bar called ARASHI, and it is also a part-time job in the nightclub. I feel very unsafe so I strongly oppose it. She insisted that she only needs to work for four days. I can't hold her back, so I can only let her go. But in fact, she only worked for three days, and worked overtime on the last day, and after that...you know, she saw Chen Lin's suicide note, and then... "

After the long talk, Teacher Shiyu drank the remaining tea in the cup, and then put the cup back on the table to block the empty photo frame.

"Okay, the story is over, did it help you? Is there anything else I want to ask?"

Her tone didn't sound sad, yes, it's been so long, for them, these things are over.

Gu Yuan bit his lip.

"Teacher Shiyu, I probably already know what happened back then, but there is one more thing I want to ask."

"Well, you can ask."

"Does sister Qiuling have the habit of keeping a diary?"

Gu Yuan reached into the bag, touched the diary inside, and felt the pattern on the cover of the diary in the darkness with his fingertips, a swaying white magnolia flower.

"Yes, it's not just her. In fact, everyone in our literary club has the habit of keeping a diary."

"Everyone? Do you have Mr. Chen Ge and Mr. Junmo?"

"Yes, we all write." Teacher Shiyu bent down, opened a cardboard box under the desk, and took out a diary from it. It was the same style as the one in Gu Yuan's bag, except that The one on the cover is not a magnolia flower, but a lily flower. "You saw this diary when you were a sophomore in high school. It was the rehearsal class for this play. When you and Qi Yu came to me to borrow a stereo."

"I've seen it." Gu Yuan nodded, "At that time, I wanted to say that it was well preserved. After such a long time, there is no trace of oldness."

Teacher Shiyu smiled as usual, but there was no joy in that smile, but a bit of sadness.

"So, what are you asking this for?"

"Then have you read Sister Qiuling's diary? After she made such a choice, you who don't know the reason, as her best friends, if you want to find out the truth, you should read her diary, right?" .”

"Well, you're right, that's exactly what we should do."

"should?"

"But we couldn't see it because Qiu Ling's diary disappeared after that day."

"Gone?!"

Gu Yuan couldn't help crying out, his right hand was in the satchel, tightly holding the diary.

"Yes, we searched carefully at that time, but we couldn't find it." Teacher Shi Yu shook his head, "We put all the items we collected about Qiu Ling into a cardboard box and put them in the literature club of the new campus. In the locker in the playroom."

"Activity Room?"

Gu Yuan couldn't help blurting out, he really wanted to know why he had never seen that cardboard box.

"Is it still there?"

"Yes, definitely."

Must go and see, Gu Yuan set a goal in his heart.

"Teacher Shiyu, where do you think the disappearing diary might be?"

"I don't know. If we know, we can find out. But I remember Qiu Ling said that she met a new friend, maybe in the hands of that new friend? But we don't know who the new friend is, so we don't know." There is no way to find it.”

"New friends? There are new friends that you don't even know?"

"Yeah, I was also surprised. Qiuling said she would tell me who the other party was in a few days, but I didn't expect..."

Teacher Shiyu stopped and looked at him.

"I know that's all there is to it."

"Yeah, thank you sister Shiyu, then I won't bother you."

When the two stood at the door saying goodbye, teacher Shi Yu suddenly said something out of the blue:
"Let me know too."

"what?"

"When you find out the truth, let me know too."

Gu Yuan looked into her eyes, looked at her for a long time, trying to see something from those jewel-like pupils, he did feel an emotion, it seemed to be sadness, but it didn't seem to be.

"Okay, I'll try my best."
