C1 Primer

Xi'an, July 2010

It was a blazing noon. At this time of the year, even the short-sleeved clothes in Xi'an looked like a steamer. In a political and law university in the ancient city, over three thousand graduates, wearing bachelor's hats and uniforms, were standing in front of the teaching building in the square, enduring the endless chatter of the principal, who seemed to be having a good time, on the platform.

Waiting until the principal said, "I wish you a bright future after graduation, and often go back to your old school to take a look!" After that sentence, all the graduates cheered. This time, the principal was even more pleased with himself. It seemed that his classmates had forgotten about the torturous heat because of his brilliant speech.

Just as everyone was about to line up to receive the diploma from the principal, the Party Secretary behind the principal walked up to the front desk, picked up the microphone and said, "Let me say a few more words to everyone …"

These two sentences lasted for half an hour. It was unknown how many times the direct female relatives of the school's Party Secretary had been questioned by people. After the Party Secretary finished his speech, there were scattered applause from the audience.

The Vice Principal took the microphone again, but he seemed to sense the discontent of the students below. He could only announce to the restless students, "I declare! "The award ceremony for our 2010 undergraduate degree will now begin!"

Everyone had long been numbed by the high temperature as they lined up mechanically. One by one, they walked up to the main platform and took the piece of white paper that had cost them four years of their youth from the principal's hands …

A 1.75 meter tall handsome young man ran down from the platform. He took off his Scholar's uniform, put it in a bag and threw it to the class monitor: "Squad leader! I'll have to trouble you to help me return the clothes! " Then he walked towards the school gate without looking back.

"Su Kun! There was still a class reunion later! There's even a gathering in the class! " The chubby class rep called towards Su Kun, his tone clearly filled with dissatisfaction. After four years of working as a class monitor in university, it was truly hard for him to win. Every time they had to sign in, they would think of another class monitor.

You're the only one with fire during the graduation season? This father's anger is even greater! Su Kun still did not turn his head and only waved his hand: "No meaning! "I won't participate!"

Just as the fat class rep threw his uniform to the ground, he was surrounded by five people. Without further ado, one of them gave him a sweaty bachelor's uniform and said in unison, "Squad leader! We'll have to trouble you to hand over ours too! " After that, the crowd dispersed to chase after Su Kun.

It turned out that these five were in the same dorm as Su Kun. In Sky Dynasty's university, classes were really useless, as most of them worked in their dorms. For these graduates, there are only two things that matter most at the moment. The first was to smoothly obtain the diploma and diploma. After this matter was settled, all that was left was to have a farewell meal with his roommates.

The five of them caught up with Su Kun outside of the school gate. They headed north, across the road, and into a small alley in the village. Su Kun's university, like many other universities in Xi'an, was a new campus built at the foot of the Qinling Mountains in the southern suburbs of Xi'an. Most of the new campuses in Xi'an were located in the villages in the southern suburbs of the ancient city, and the reason why most of the new campuses were located there was because the population was sparse and the land was cheap.

With the establishment of the university and the increase in population, the villagers who had sold off the land saw the road to wealth. Thus, all kinds of sidelines were established in the villages near the university.

Take the alley opposite Su Kun's school for example. Even though it couldn't compare to the bustling downtown, it was full of food, drinks, and fun! Internet cafes, restaurants, roadside stalls, girls' small jewelry stores, KTV, adult goods stores... You can find them here, as well as the small hotels that fill up every holiday.

Su Kun and his roommates were already familiar with the road. They entered a stall that they frequented and said to the boss, "Boss! Open a private room! "

The boss and these students were all very familiar with each other. After they entered the private room, the boss ordered some dishes and asked, "How much do you want?" The boss had long since gotten used to it. Every year at this time, the students who left school would come to drink to their heart's content …

Sure enough, Su Kun extended three fingers. "Let's take three hits first!"

After the boss left, a person sitting beside Su Kun sighed: "Tell me! We have paid tuition fees to the country for four years, and we have also promoted the development of the economy of the villages around the school.

"Sigh!" I went to Shanghai to look for a job. Do you know what the employer said? Northwest? XX University? Are you guys from a private school? " As he spoke of his sorrows, the fellow immediately responded.

The first one to let out a sigh patted Su Kun's shoulder, and said: "Big brother Kun is the best! He passed the Judicial Exam! "No matter what, I can still live in the Discipline Hall."

"So what? There is also a year of internship, during which the monthly salary is only eight hundred, and in Xi'an there is not even enough rent. " Su Kun had a wronged expression.

When the crowd heard that, they were no longer happy. It was still the guy who was standing next to Su Kun that hugged Su Kun, "These words of yours are something that our brothers don't like to hear! "No matter what, he's the one who found a job, isn't he better than us youngsters waiting for work?"

"Yes!" Yes! Big Brother Kun! " Everyone responded together.

Even though he was a dorm mate, Su Kun was still a bit uncomfortable when he was hugged by a man. He pushed him away, "Fifty steps is just a joke!"

Who would have thought that this brother of his would slap the table and stand up, "Brat, why are you so unhappy today!"

"Alright!" Su Kun clenched his teeth, pretended to be in pain as he shouted, "Today, I will treat you! Okay? "

Actually, Su Kun had intended to treat everyone to a meal early in the morning. From now on, it would be difficult to meet all the people from both the north and south. However, the more intimate a person was, the more they would not be willing to pay for their meals. Su Kun believed that in a few more years, when everyone was eating together, they would have to pay the bill. But at that time, their relationship would only be N times more indifferent than it was now.

The steaming dishes were served one after another. There were three rounds of inspection of Jiuguo, and all of them spoke the truth after drinking wine. The twenty-something year olds began to lose their ability to speak. From the class to the academy, all the pretty girls were mocked by them. Not a single one of them escaped …

The last six people walked in a wobbly manner, aside from the restaurant. When they arrived at the opposite side of the school gate, Su Kun was still walking at the front. When he saw the school, the emotions he had suppressed for a long time finally exploded out, "I really can't bear to part with everyone!"

Just as Su Kun finished speaking, he tripped. The "blackmailing" Su Kun's bro quickly went forward to support Su Kun, but he was not any better off than Su Kun. The two of them were supporting each other before they barely managed to stand firm on their feet.

"Brother Kun!" I know you're loyal! Brothers, we all know! I can't bear to part with you all! " After he finished speaking, he actually began to bawl.

"Don't cry! "Don't be a woman!" Seeing that he was still crying, Su Kun pushed him away, "If you keep on crying, you won't be my brother anymore!"

Su Kun turned around and looked at the four people behind him, their eyes filled with tears. If we can meet again in the future, I hope that we won't have to treat everyone to a meal here! "

As Su Kun finished speaking, the brick saw the red light turn on, and walked onto the zebra crossing. Suddenly, a cart rushed across the zebra crossing, the ancient city's car was famous for its traffic rules, and according to incomplete statistics, fifty people had already lost their lives under the wheel.

He shouted to everyone, "Be careful, Brother Kun!" By the time, it was already too late. Su Kun had already been knocked flying several meters away …
