The dormitory door was pushed open, and singing came to the room outside.

"Miss Dong, you extinguished the smoke and talk about the past."

"You said that the first half of your life will be like this, and there is tomorrow."

The roommate holding the lunch box naturally continued: "On May morning, I finally lost my sleep. So those may not be true. Miss Dong, you are not a female classmate without a story."

The buddy lying on the bunk on another bed turned over and howled at the top of her throat: "Fall in love with a wild horse, but there is no grassland in my home--"

"Stop, stop singing, stop singing, this song is always like brainwashing wherever you go."

Qiu Haocheng covered his ears with both hands, unable to bear the disturbance.

In recent days, a folk song that is said to be a composition by a graduate alumni has become popular throughout Southern Associated University. As long as you are on campus, you can hear the melody of "Ms. Dong" whether in the classroom, canteen or dormitory. Even in the toilet compartment, someone hummed and fell in love with a wild horse!

To be fair, this is an excellent lyrical song, but no matter how good the song is, it lingers in your ears, and it is unbearable.

"What, this song is not very good? You can't stand it now? Then Miss Dong from our school must not collapse."

The sloppy guy who stayed in the upper bunk and refused to get up was laughing strangely. Qiu Haocheng remembered the girl he saw on the third floor of the canteen that day, and shook his head speechlessly.

"Ms. Dong" spread throughout the campus, and various versions of the love story between Miss Dong and Mr. Yu have also spread throughout the Southern Associated University. I believe that Ms. Dong, who has broken up with Mr. Yu at this time, must have suffered a lot.

However, this has nothing to do with Qiu Haocheng. To be honest, he was even a little happy. After all, he had a good impression of the senior surnamed Yu, so in his opinion, Miss Dong, who cheated on and abandoned Mr. Yu, was a villain.

"Who will never tire of comforting the ignorant boy?"

"I want to be like you, regardless of those so-"

The singing came to my ears again, and Qiu Haocheng jumped up from the chair.

"Oh, I can't stand it anymore, I won't wait here."

"Then where are you going? No one in the library sings. Hey, if you go to the library, you will come back and bring me some meat eggplant rice bowl later." The sloppy guy on the upper bunk waved at Qiu Haocheng. It seemed that he was not going to come down today.

Qiu Haocheng waved his hand: "I'll go to the cafeteria to eat by myself, I'm going out."

“Where to go?”

"Dynamic World." Qiu Haocheng raised the flyer, "The Boxer Championship!"

"I won the treat!"

"no problem."

Qiu Haocheng laughed and walked out of the dormitory.

Originally, if you made up your mind to participate in the competition, you should go to the Dynamic World Arcade Hall to practice your hands and be familiar with the environment. After all, sitting in the noisy arcade hall with a rocker button is very different from sitting in the dormitory with a handle and a keyboard.

But in the past few days, not only will we have to attend classes, but we also have to participate in the party mobilization meeting and the party school of party activists. We hold meetings every few days, and we really can't find time, so we can only wait until the weekend, which is the day of the event.

Just in time, I hide from the ubiquitous "Ms. Dong".

The campus of South Associated University is not far from the bustling and lively city. Qiu Haocheng took a bus and walked for a few minutes and found the Dynamic World Arcade Hall. Then he unexpectedly discovered that the Dynamic World was very different from what he imagined.

In his impression, old-fashioned arcades have long declined, and the arcade hall will either close or transform, or be like a late-stage patient with a last breath, and anyone who sees it will be upset.

But the dynamic world is completely different. Looking at the stairwell at the entrance, this arcade hall is obviously a bit old, but there are flower baskets on both sides of the entrance, and brand new carpets are laid at the door, which can vaguely smell some fragrance.

After a closer look, there is a line of chalk words on each step of the stairs:

【You are here】

【Have been waiting for you for a long time】

【Hope you are here】

【Not because of emptiness】

【It's not because of boredom】

【But because of you】

【Can find fun here】

【Are you ready】

【So】

【Go to fight!】

"Hey, it's interesting."

The stranger's voice sounded beside him, and Qiu Haocheng turned his head to look at him. The man was about thirty years old, with a bloated figure, wearing a slim black jacket, and his hair was fluffy, looking so ordinary that he could not be more ordinary.

"I've been here before, but that's not the case." The fat man continued to speak, not knowing whether he was talking to Qiu Haocheng or talking to himself, "At the beginning, ten years ago, it was very clean, but it was so dirty later. Hey, I didn't expect it to be so well now. I think Lao Wen was doing this event to give us a grand farewell."

Seeing Qiu Haocheng ignored him, the fat man grinned and took the lead in climbing the stairs. Although he was covered in fat, his movements were very agile.

Then Qiu Haocheng also went up the stairs and as soon as he reached the second floor, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

The bar light above the head was not turned on, and it was all lit by small colored lights that cling to wallpaper like vines on the four walls.

In the blurred and colorful light, hundreds of old arcade machines are arranged on the second floor in a strange arrangement, which is neither empty nor hinders the back and forth. It also has an unspeakable beauty, like the exquisite arrangement of a Michelin restaurant.

The unique environmental arrangement did not shock Qiu Haocheng. What really made him so excited was the people, the people crowded with arcade halls!

There are so many people here.

All of them are here!

None of the machines was empty, not only that, there were people standing in line behind the most popular game consoles of the Three Kingdoms War Chronicles!

Qiu Haocheng couldn't believe his eyes. For a moment, he thought he had traveled through time and space as he walked through the stairs.

Is this 2009?

Or 1999?

The sound of the rocker and the button sound are all the same, and sometimes the gaps are covered by the sound of conversation. All kinds of people gather together for the same purpose, leaving behind their identities, ignoring each other's differences, and joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are just for the changes in the screen...

This is the charm of arcades, but hasn't this charm disappeared long ago?

Just at this moment, the music switched, and a familiar melody came to my ears.

“Those were such happy times)

and not so long ago (it doesn't seem to be far away)

How I wondered (I often wonder)

where they'd gone

But they're back again

Just like a long lost friend”

Qiu Haocheng stood at the door and could hear it.

A boy of similar age came over and warmly invited him: "Welcome, please come in!"

Qiu Haocheng nodded and asked, "I often listened to this song when I was a child, but I forgot the title of the song. May I ask?"

"Oh." The boy pointed to the crowded arcade hall and gave the answer, ""yesterday once more" (reappeared yesterday."
