Chapter 61: Campus Stroll
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting a scattering of light spots on the ground.
On the campus tree-lined path, lush trees stood, with the breeze gently brushing by, rustling the leaves.
Li Jing and Zhou Li walked along the path beside the teaching building, both dressed casually, lacking the formal and mature look of professionals.
Even though they had left campus five years ago, walking these campus paths still made them feel like university students, leisurely chatting and strolling after class.
Though this university was not their alma mater, the solemn and tranquil teaching buildings, the spacious and clean sports field, and the scattered groups of students on the road instantly pulled out the deep-seated memories of school for both of them, filling their hearts with intense nostalgia and sentiment.
Watching a few students hurrying to the classroom with books in hand, Zhou Li reminisced, "Back then, during our high school years, we studied from morning till late, barely having any personal time, and I’m not sure how we managed to get through it."
"Indeed, though high school was only three years, in my memory, it feels like it lasted a long time. Closing my eyes and recalling, my adolescent years almost entirely comprise scenes from that period."
Struggling, laughing, playing, exams...
Li Jing casually gathered some fragments from memory, all of which were those three years of high school.
"Perhaps because we were all striving for the same goal, the immense pressure forged deep friendships, just like comrades on a battlefield, each exam being a battle for us."
Perhaps touched by the scenery, Zhou Li began to talk more.
