Chapter 2, Returning to Eighteen

Do not find it strange that Wang Ye cannot remember other classmates. In domestic universities, classmates are generally quite familiar with each other, and perhaps even a decade or more after graduation, many names of classmates can still be recalled

The relationships among classmates are relatively distant, as everyone is merely part of the same group of international students and was only in the same preparatory class.

Therefore, after studying here for a few years, I only have a few classmates with whom I have a relatively good relationship. With most people, we are merely acquaintances who can recognize each other and call each other by name, and it cannot be considered a true relationship

It is said that these buildings have been standing for forty years, having been constructed at the beginning of the school's establishment

This separation has lasted for more than ten years, and gradually the two have lost contact.

... ...

However, studying abroad is entirely different

It is now night, and the minibus is speeding along a desolate road. Under the dim glow of the streetlights, large snowflakes, resembling goose feathers, are drifting through the air and gently settling on the ground

Just as I thought of this, a minibus happened to pass in front of a large gate

How many times, when he reminisces about his past study abroad life, does he realize how many opportunities he has missed

Facing the main entrance is a large grayish-white building, which is not tall but occupies a vast area

He was also the best friend he had during his university years

How did I end up on a minibus with a book cover now

Moreover, everyone is usually busy with their own activities; some are diligently studying, while others spend their days in the dormitory playing computer games.

Because he no longer remembers what his suitcase looks like, in order to avoid taking the wrong luggage, he simply decided to retrieve it last

Wang Ye's heart stirred, and he blurted out, "Liu Xiao Jie?"

The snow piled up by the roadside has accumulated to a height of about one meter!

Some people, Wang Ye still feels somewhat familiar, while others, he can no longer remember

But this is life; when opportunities present themselves before you, the vast majority of people do not realize how rare these opportunities are

Although he does not know exactly what has happened, whether it is a dream or a rebirth, he has now returned to the age of eighteen

The teacher leading the group, who was sitting at the front of the minibus, stood up and called out to everyone: "Please take care of your luggage and follow me as we get off the bus. Be careful not to leave anything behind. The dormitories have already been arranged for you, and shortly I will assist everyone with the check-in procedures, taking you one by one to your respective rooms. You can just wait and rest in the dormitory lobby."

It has been many years since I have seen such heavy snow

For a moment, Wang Ye was taken aback, then reached out to pull the suitcase. However, despite pulling with all his strength, he was unable to move it; the suitcase was simply too heavy!

He studied at university in Moscow, a cursed place where it snows for at least half the year

This is Liu Xiaojie from over a decade ago

Wang Ye felt a surge of emotions; it turned out to be Liu Xiao Jie after all

"Don't open the window, Ye Ge, it's freezing. I heard it can drop to minus twenty or thirty degrees here at night," said Liu Xiaojie, who was also shivering from the cold.

They are all around seventeen or eighteen years old, both male and female, each wearing a smile on their face, filled with aspirations

Wang Ye calmly extended his hand, wiping the glass with his sleeve, and finally was able to see the situation outside clearly

I have clearly returned to my home country long ago and have lived in Pengcheng for many years

The boy was taken aback for a moment and responded in confusion, "Ah? What’s wrong, Brother Ye?"

After a delay, when Wang Ye went to retrieve his luggage, he discovered that in addition to a large hard plastic suitcase, there was also a bulging red mesh bag. Through the mesh, he could see that it contained a blue plastic basin, which was stuffed with two large white plastic bags.

In a state of drowsiness, Wang Ye suddenly felt someone shaking his shoulder

Wang Ye recalled that this scene should have been on January 1, 2001, when he had just arrived in Moscow, preparing to begin his study abroad journey.

Many people work while studying, and usually, they are not seen around

Where is this

A question suddenly popped into Wang Ye's mind

Such heavy snowfall is extremely common and is not surprising at all

However, after graduation, Wang Ye returned to his home country, while Liu Xiaojie stayed in Russia to develop his career

However, since returning to the country after graduation, I have not seen such heavy snow again

Everyone, upon reaching adulthood, has fantasized about how they would act if their life were to start over again

Struggling to pull down the suitcase, I hung the red mesh bag on the suitcase's pull rod, and then followed behind the line, preparing to enter the dormitory building

The square and upright main building resembles a massive stone block, adorned with several rows of prominent black Cyrillic letters.

Moreover, it is quite normal to forget names after not being in contact for about ten years since graduation

Just as he raised his hand, preparing to wipe the car window and see what was happening outside, he was surprised to find that he was wearing a thick down jacket!

In an instant, memories surged forth like a tide

The young man sitting beside me, shaking his shoulders, looks somewhat familiar, but I cannot recall who he is at the moment

He opened his bleary eyes and was taken aback

However

Now the opportunity has arrived

Wang Ye is very familiar with this place; this is the preparatory dormitory building of Youda, which everyone usually refers to as "Building 6"

... ...

After all, being over thirty and having gained experience in society for so long, one can still remain composed

that is to say, one's own alma mater

In this situation, how could everyone's relationship possibly be very close

Aren't you sleeping in bed yourself

This gate is quite simple, even to the point of being rudimentary, as it is merely an open iron fence gate that can be seen at a glance from the road

He reached out to crack the car window open, and a biting cold wind rushed in, causing Wang Ye to shiver violently, his mind becoming clear.

At this moment, the boy sitting next to him, who was the one that woke him up, said with a smile: "Ye Ge, we have already arrived at school. I heard that the school is on break now, and we will have to wait a few more days before classes start again"

It is no exaggeration to say that if he had seized that opportunity just once, his life would not have turned out to be as pale and powerless as it later became

Once you enter the various majors, you may no longer be in the same class.

Brother Ye! Brother Ye! Wake up, wake up, we will arrive soon

The old minibus swayed as it drove into the campus on the left side of the road, stopping in front of a long but not very tall old building

Wang Ye is already eager to embark on his "second" life

In the dormitory area of Youda University, there are a total of thirteen dormitory buildings. Except for Building 13, which is a high-rise, the other dormitory buildings are all six-story old-style constructions

I am currently on a minibus, en route from the airport to the school

But the issue is, these matters are from twenty years ago

Only a very small number of people seize the opportunity and subsequently become what are known as successful individuals

The students on the bus all got off one by one, pulling their suitcases. Wang Ye deliberately waited until the very end to go to the back of the bus to retrieve his luggage

Wang Ye immediately recognized it; this is the "Friendship of Peoples" monument!

... ...

Am I dreaming ... ...

Wang Yemu turned his head to glance at the car window beside him and discovered a patch of white mist on the glass

The street outside the dormitory area is called "Miklukha-Maklaya" Street, with the university's campus on both sides. One side is the teaching area, while the other side is the dormitory area

Turning back to glance inside the minibus, seven or eight vibrant faces came into view

He was once again astonished after just a glance

Wang Ye smiled and with a "bang" closed the car window again

Because outside the car window, there is a vast expanse of white
