The Fading Away of Our Youth (So Young)

To The Fading Away of Our Youth: Chapter 6

Zheng Wei and Ruan Ruan went to their class together, walking into the classroom one minute before class began. The teacher still hadn’t come. Inside sat a dense mass of many students, the freshmen were all passionate for the class; there was a high attendance level.

One by one, the students sat down. They picked seats near the podium for fear of being unable to see the lecturer’s appearance. Notebooks were placed in front of each student, as eyes shone with knowledge and gleamed with light.

Zheng Wei had always liked to fidget during class, so seeing that there were empty seats in the back, she dragged Ruan Guan over, despite her protest. The boys pretended that they were not intentionally staring at the two girls, when the opposite was happening. They all said that pretty girls had an aura of magnetic repulsion, but these two just happened to get together.

This was Zheng Wei’s first time to class since she had returned from home. There were two continuous periods of Engineering Graphics. When it began, she was still telling herself, I must concentrate, I must concentrate, I cannot lose to others just because I am one of the new students, but when she had sat for a while, her heart started to lose focus.

She looked at Ruan Ruan. Ruan Ruan’s head was lowered as she focused on reading the textbook. Zheng Wei wanted to talk to her several times, but when she saw her so attentive, she was embarrassed to disturb her. After a long time had passed did she realize that Ruan Ruan’s focus was a little overly high, she suspiciously reached her hand out to flip some pages of her book, “You’re too scary. Is Engineering Graphics really that good?”

Ruan Ruan had stopped flipping the pages already. After she flipped to another page, she only said a sentence of “I rely on Reincarnation, it’s all my fault I didn’t focus on learning as hard as you, this is deceiving my pure feelings too much.”

Ruan Ruan let out a shushing sound, her head never lifting, “Be good, don’t make sounds. After I finish reading this, I’ll let you borrow it.”

“No, whenever I look at words my head hurts.” her heart stabilized some, good students were like this right?

Talking about this, Ruan Ruan was a very interesting person. She heard that Ruan Ruan had been the second top scorer to test into G University’s Civil Engineering Department. Most of the time she loved to go to the library but Zheng Wei only went once in awhile.

As she accompanied Ruan Ruan to the library, she found that there was not a time when Ruan ruan was not reading magazines or doing some light reading. Sometimes Ruan Ruan would be engrossed with gossip magazines and they would spend a whole evening at the library.

Zheng Wei’s judgment was, “I’m surprised!”

But Ruan Ruan would only reply with, “Homework…As long as I pass it’s okay, I am most afraid of getting first place, what’s the point of tiring yourself out?”

Zheng Wei would never surrender. A person’s long life was really like Ruan Ruan, someone who created false illusions in life. Leafing through a pornography book really made one feel focused on dignity.

“Stop reading, talk with me.” She used her hand to tap Ruan Ruan’s elbows. Ruan Ruan looked up at the podium. The middle aged male lecturer, with eyes thicker than bulletproof glass had an extremely emotionless face.
