The morning sun, like gold, shines on the campus, opening the prelude of hope. Lin Xiaoxiao lies on the bed, a gentle breeze brushes through, bringing a breath of fresh air through the half-open window. Inside the room, sunlight and shadows dance on the wall, interweaving with the rock band posters, as if the melody of music echoes in the air. Her eyes widen as she wakes from her dream, with the lingering echo of rock music in her ears, the voice of her soul, every beat leaping with unrestrained youth.
Lin Xiaoxiao lightly touches her playful short hair, the mirror reflecting a bright light. Today she chose a T-shirt with the logo of a rock band, revealing her love for music, paired with comfortable jeans, carrying a casual yet stylish look. Her silver pendant necklace glistens in the sunlight, seemingly anticipating today's adventure.
Wearing ordinary yet distinctive clothing, Lin Xiaoxiao lightly stepped through the doorway and entered the youthful alley. Her pace was brisk and determined, like the most resolute beat in a melody. As she passed the cherry blossom trees by the school, a playful cat leaped down from the tree and gracefully crossed her path. Lin Xiaoxiao instinctively crouched down, extending her fingers to greet it, but the cat seemed surprised by this sudden closeness. With a flash of its eyes, it swiftly darted into the nearby bushes, leaving behind a few drifting cherry blossom petals and Lin Xiaoxiao's laughter. Her mood became even more joyful due to this unexpected encounter.
She stood up, brushed off the dust from her knees, and a playful smile appeared on her lips. The fresh morning breeze carried the school broadcast's music, along with the distant laughter and chatter of her classmates, making the morning full of vitality and anticipation. Lin Xiaoxiao adjusted her attire, quickened her pace, and headed towards the school gate.
The campus is quiet in the morning, with a hint of laziness. The sound of books and the rustling of footsteps in the early morning form a peaceful prelude. Here, the morning light seems particularly gentle, sprinkling onto the desks of every student through the classroom windows. Lin Xiaoxiao's classmates form a small circle, their conversations filled with passion and love for music, their laughter and debates floating in the air.
Lin Xiaoxiao sits alone in the back row, her doodle book seemingly her secret garden, hiding her endless imagination and creativity. Her pencil dances in her hand, like a conductor guiding a silent orchestra, with each line like a musical note, unrestrained and vivid. In her world, those cartoon characters are not just images, but projections of her soul, each character having their own story and personality, waiting to be discovered by the world.
When the bell rang, it was time for the break between classes. Lin Xiaoxiao closed her sketchbook and walked out of the classroom with Zhou Le and Zhang Siyao. The three of them strolled freely on the campus, with Zhou Le's basketball seeming to symbolize his energy, and Zhang Siyao's eyes sparkling with a desire for all things new and exciting.
They found a cool shade under a tree and sat on a bench, their conversation flowing naturally like a stream. "Have you heard about the night tour of the cemetery?" Zhang Siyao's face was full of anticipation, as if he could already see that mysterious and thrilling night.
Zhou Le exuded a sunny disposition as usual, confidently saying, "What's there to fear? That's just child's play. We haven't encountered a real adventure yet!"
Lin Xiaoxiao lightly bit her lip, mischief twinkling in her eyes like stars, "Maybe that graveyard will give me some supernatural inspiration. I need material like that to spice up my comics."
The conversation of the three people drifted in the morning breeze, like dandelions in summer, light and free. The sun slowly climbed into the sky, sprinkling golden light on each student and reflecting on their smiling faces. The laughter and joy of Lin Xiaoxiao, Zhou Le, and Zhang Siyao became the most beautiful melody on campus on such days, blending with the voices of other students to weave a symphony of youth on campus.
In the afternoon campus, bathed in a golden glow, it was like a scroll of flowing gold. Lin Xiaoxiao slowly raised her head and, through the window, gazed at the dappled light and shadow among the treetops. In her imagination, these shadows became vivid, as if she could cross over to the Underworld world she had written about, a place full of mysteries and legends. She was full of endless curiosity and longing for that unknown realm, where every corner held potential inspiration.
On the open space next to them, a group of students is attentively rehearsing a dance. Their movements are accompanied by the rhythm, shimmering with sweat under the afternoon sun. Zhou Le stands aside, seemingly drawn by the charm of the music, unconsciously clapping along with the music, his face beaming with an infectious smile.
Zhang Siyao's eyes light up as she carefully observes every movement and step of the dancers. A faint smile hangs on her lips, as if she is already envisioning how to write this scene into her newspaper, allowing more people to feel this vitality and passion.
And Lin Xiaoxiao sat quietly on one side, her gaze falling at times on the flying skirts of the dancers, and at times on the sketchbook in her hand. Her fingers flew like her pen's soul, drawing lines one by one, outlining one comic character after another, each with its own story. Her world slowly expanded on paper, each drawing representing her exploration of the unknown world and her understanding of life stories.
"Xiao Xiao, is this a new character you're drawing?" Zhou Le leaned over curiously, his eyes fixed on her sketchbook.
Lin Xiaoxiao Looked up and smiled mischievously, winking: "Guess what? This might be our guide for the next adventure."
Zhang Siyao Excitedly leaned over: "Wow, it looks so mysterious! When do we start this adventure?"
"Let these characters come alive in my world," Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed mischievously as she lowered her head to continue her creation.
When the bell rang, signaling the start of the afternoon classes, the three quickly packed up their things and returned to the classroom. Lin Xiaoxiao sat by the window, gazing at the outside world. Her heart seemed to fly to a distant place, the one she depicted in her writing, filled with humor and fantasy - the Underworld.
In math class, the teacher's voice ebbed and flowed like distant waves. Lin Xiaoxiao's thoughts, however, had already drifted to the evening's adventure, the upcoming graveyard night tour. She imagined the atmosphere of the night, the tombstones in the moonlight, and the mysterious creatures that only existed in her comics. The characters she drew were like her adventure companions, experiencing those incredible events together.
Finally, the bell rang, and Lin Xiaoxiao, Zhou Le, and Zhang Siyao walked out of the classroom together. They chatted and laughed, discussing their plans for the evening. The sunlight cast long shadows behind them, like a condensed reflection of time, outlining their youthful contours.
"I heard that there are secret passages leading to the Underworld beneath those tombstones," Lin Xiaoxiao said half-jokingly.
Zhou Le laughed, "So where are you taking us for an adventure? The Underworld's café?"
Zhang Siyao is full of anticipation: "If I really encounter a ghost, I must interview it for the first time!"
Their conversation is full of youthful energy. At their age, they are full of imagination about the world, and those imaginations are often more exciting than reality.
The evening glow draped the campus in a layer of pink gauze, gradually calming the hustle and bustle and bringing about a sense of tranquility and warmth. The school bell had long since rung for the end of the day, but Lin Xiaoxiao, Zhou Le, and Zhang Siyao were in no hurry to go home.
By the edge of the playground, under the cherry blossom trees, Lin Xiaoxiao took out her sketchbook, and her pencil danced quickly across the paper as if it had a life of its own. The dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves danced on her sketchbook, each stroke a pursuit of inspiration. Zhou Le took out his phone, selected some music to play, and the lively melody blended into the air, complementing the glow of the setting sun.
Zhang Siyao was busy organizing her camera, eager to capture any mysterious phenomena that might occur, scenes that might only appear in comics. Her eyes sparkled with anticipation, and the camera in her hand was her tool for exploring the unknown.
"Hey, doesn't this look like the cemetery we're about to explore?" Lin Xiaoxiao excitedly presented her latest work, a mysterious sketch of a cemetery. The tombstone in the drawing appeared particularly tranquil under the moonlight, with a blurry figure seemingly lingering in the distance.
Zhou Le came over and couldn't help but joke, "This scene is too vivid, I almost thought a ghost would jump out of the paper."
Zhang Siyao also came over and exclaimed, "Xiao Xiao, your painting has improved so much. This painting can completely bring people into that scene."
Three people sat under the cherry blossom tree, sharing their hobbies and creations with each other, strengthening their friendship in the quiet afternoon on campus. This was their shared time, where memories of youth were woven together. Every laughter and every shared dream became an indelible bond between them.
