Since I liked poem so much ,from my junior year,I began to orgnize a literature club in the university,and made a briefing every two months.

One weekend,we had some kinds of party ,and invited some folk singers in the school and young artist.

I asked Franscine ,if she was free .She seemed surprized at the beginning,but I was sincere,at last she said,"Maybe I could,every weekend they went to dancing,I am really feeling humdrum now."

Dancing was very popular in the university.BUt I seldom went to there.I only liked Disco a little,but far from a fan,and I was blind in social dance,frankly,even the Waltz,the most simple one,I didn't know how to pace it at all.

the club party was on a lawn.Liao was there ,too.We sat in a round.

Franscine wore a beautiful skirt and leaned on me quietly.

At that time,Liao had got some fame on singing in the university But everybody thought he was wasting his time.

I said to Franscine ,"look,this is our star in the future."And smiled slightly.

As I knew ,it was a good way to chase beautiful girls by playing guitar.At least, it could be seen in the reality that many girls were the crazy fans of music star.

I read a poem i wrote ,whose name was <One day>
"One day I went through the crossover,
seeing some people observing the dark sky,
I said,if you look for by heart,the shining star could be found

One day I went through the sunset,
they led me to see the galaxy,
at last I saw many shooting stars,
at a night in the winter

One day I went through here again,
seeing some people sitting and singing,
with some smiles on their faces,
which made me feel warm and meloncholy."

And Liao palyed a song,with the name of <the marriage on a paper>.

I couldn't remember it clearly,but that was a good piece.After he finnished singing,we applauded together.

it alluded some kinds of person ,they didn't love very much with another,but they married,signed the nuptial contract on the paper.on the other hand,it talked the precise realationship and ambivelent meaning in our social culture.

the song was exquisite.and after the party finnished,when I accompanyed Franscine returning to her dodging place,I still thought of it.

"Do you think marriage has some kinds of meaning?" I said.

"I don't know ,but marriage is important in one's life."Franscine answered me softly.

I nodded in silent.

"YOur classmate,he is very interesting,I don't mean his song,but his appearance."Franscine suddernly laughed with gladness,looking up to me.

I said,"what?"

She said,"I noticed he always dug his nostril,now and then.hehe..."

I was amused by Franscine's words.And said,"many persons have this habbit."

The autumn was very beautiful and not cold.

I asked Franscine,"What thing you ever did made you feel proud of?"

"let me think."Franscine answered.

"I guess it was that when I was in the middle school.One day in the classroom,before the Math class was open.the teacher found the blackboard was full of wriitern words,and nobody was going to clean it.the time for the beginning of class had passed.And the old teacher with a bald head was in sulk.He repeated ,"if nobody cleaned it for me,I will not teach you this class."

But no one stood up.it was very embarassing.At last,I steped out and went forward and erased the words on the blackboard."

"you are remarkable!"I said to Franscine.

"Really?"SHe was in a little shy.

"absolutely."I said in positive.

"I like to hear your applaud."She smiled in naughty.

"If I were you ,I couldn't do that,although I knew I should do."I smiled in regret.

"BUt that's an ordinary thing.isn't worthy to mention."Franscine tried to console me.

We said goodbye before we arrived the door of the building where Franscine dodged in.

Franscine said softly to me,"I am happy today."And out of my mind she kissed on my cheek suddernly.After that,she turned around and dissapeared into the building quickly.

I was aghasted at the moment,that was the first time a girl kissed me,although not the touch on the lips,but had shocked me so much.I was flushed in the darkness,but soon my heart was filled with warmth,like a small river had flown into my body.

I turned and left there,after walking for several meters,I began to run in small paces.The leaves on the trees made shadows on the road.in the lightening of the lamps near side.

I tried to think what had happened ,but could not find anything.the only thing I could remember was that Franscine was so lightsome when she kissed on me.

When I was drenched in the memory,the room door was opened,and Jun came back.

Now Jun was the only person left despite of me in the room.He was preparing to study abroad,to France.

"Hi,What's going on?"I said.I knew he was busy on the matters on visa and the relative things.

"I don't know,maybe they will examine me once again."Jun was a handsome guy.He was active and always looked like the wind for me.

"What are you thinking ,Jinn?you must miss your lover now."Jun said it in a mysterious manner,which made me shy and smiling.

"Maybe...I must be stupid again."I confessed my emotion frankly.

"Stupid?...No,yOur lover was so beautiful .YOu didn't know HOw I was jealous at that time."Jun sitted on the bed and began to gnaw an apple,which I didn't know where came from ."look at my girl friend."

HE pointed a photo on his desk by finger."we knew each other when we were in the 10's .....it's So boring ."

I wanted to laugh ,but suppressed at the beginning.Jun was unctuous ,a little.

"Sometimes we don't know what we are looking for.Is that?"I answered him.

I knew his girl friend was in Swiss,and studied in HOtel management.BUt why Jun wanted to go to France?I didn't know.

I remembered the song writtern by U2,<but I am still haven't found what I am looking for>.

"I guess I know what I am looking for."Jun said," looking for money of course."He adds.

"You are looking for beauty in France,hahah."I answered him.

----
But The story between Franscine and me had already ended,when Jun went out again,I went into my memory again.

-----
Franscine had became a junior student ,and I would graduate also.We didn't meet often,since I was busy on the study,and my grandmother passed away in those days.I went back to my hometown.Grandmother was very kind to me before.And I was sorry to listen the news.When I came back to school,I found I was so lonely in these years.ANd sometimes I couldn't understand what happened around me.The society was changing every day.And the leader Dengxiaoping ,who now said "development was the hard reason",had made the society into desire-running .

I looked out of the window,and stepped onto the balcony,the night had came....

In the last year of my undergraduate study,My classmates were busy and detached than before.I began to write essays and little story,not engaged in poem again.

I picked up some pieces of my writings and sent out to the newspaper and magzine.some were published,and made me happy .

I could earn money by my hand!I was satisfied with this progress,and one day I asked Franscine out,that's the christmas evening.

Every year when the Christmas day came,there would be a grand dancing party hold in the university.the name was called as "spree".

Liao ,the singer ,who now rented a house out of the school gardern,looked like a lunar.sometimes we met in the dinning hall.he asked me what I was doing.I showed him an anthology of english novels.I knew he had given up the literature.

Franscine looked like more mature ,I said to her.I was writing now,and had just received a piece of reward from a magzine.She smiled and said loudly in careless."One day when you wrote novel ,don't forget to write me as the character ."I nodded to her.With the big music sound in my ears.I could only nodded to her.

At that time Leixiao was also falling into love with a girl of the computer science department.

That night I wanted to say "I love you"to Franscine,but at last I didn't do it.

---
Time passed quickly,winter ended.We had a programme ,to give us a chance to travel to the south of China.I released myself from the city ,and enjoyed the natural beautiful scenary.
Hai nan island was so beautiful and I was intoxicated .Like arriving into a world of fairy tale.

----

Standing on the balcony,I looked down and saw a couple of students was talking under the lamp.I decided to go down and have a cup of drink.

The weather was hot,although in the evening it was balmy in temperature.

i asked a cool drink and satisfied myself into the seat ,now it was the summer night.I liked to sit now ,seeing the sparse students went here and there.I knew the time left for me to enjoy the school time had been limited.

---
Persons were strange,they chased what they couldn't get sometimes.but neglected something easy.

As like me,I was ever chased by a girl who studied in the news and media department.She was also good-looking,but our relationship was transient and delayed on the surface from beginning to the end.

----
I took a sip,Franscine's appearance arose in my brain once again.

That was in my first year as a graduate student.Franscine made a call to me one day.

I was curious for what happened.Since she seldom called me .It was always my things.

It was in the winter.she told me in the telephone that If I needed a subject on the writing.

I said "yes",to be honest,I was preparing to write something new ,but had no fresh story in my brain.So I went out at night and to meet Frascine in a cafeteria.We contantly met there,for a cup of tea.and chatted for a while.or sometimes just go over the lessons.

It was snowing,the road was bad for walking in some place.When I arrived there,Frascine had already been there.

Franscine asked me what I liked to drink,I said a hot chorcolette drink was ok.

Then our conversation began.

She was now in a lawyer office as a practising consultant.That was a programme when who was a senior college student.Franscine ever told me about that.It was a preparation for the futural career.

Their clients was complicated,sometimes was criminal,sometimes was business person.Sounds very stimulating for me sometimes.

She told me in a little exicitement."We had a client recently,who was a mysterious proprietor of an enterprise.They were an architecture design cooperate.
He said they met an intractable thing."

"What is that?"As I knew,the industry of building and engineer was flurishing and with high profit .which made me eager to get the point of the story.

I had noticed that Franscine had got something changed on her behaviour,like she ordered the drink for me.

But I had no time to think of it,at that time.

"The client was a young man.He was an assistant of the firm's manager.Since it was related with commercial secret.He didn't opened his name.He said They signed a contract with a governmental organization to design a building.Since it was very popular to invite architect from Foreign country to design in China.the administrator of the organization invited an architect from USA to design the facade of the building.But let us to draw the detail of the designing inwards the building.At first,that was nothing happened.But at last,one female architect of us,who was a professional and original firm founder,found that the amount of the drawings was far bigger than what they said at first.

The USA architect just designed a facade paper,with the flavor looked like western style and catering the trend.But inwards there are many content like kitchen ,etc,had no definition.

The female architect now hid the discs of drawings,and she said the government organization had behaviour of corruption,refusing to hand out the drawings.
The firm nearly stopped running now.And the administrator,who was also a young man.hastened the firm to finnish the work everday."

Franscine said it in a breath.And after that,she smiled to me.

"Do you think it includes crime or something such as corruption?"I said it ,as like asking myself.

"YOu look like the doctor Watson in the Holmes story now."Franscine said it and took the drink,which made her look like a professional lawyer.

"So what will you suggest the client to do?"I asked her.

"I don't know.Frankly say,I sympthize the architect.But she also had her own fault.It is difficult to arbitrate,since they had sign the contract."Franscine said.

"So why do you want me to listen the story?"I asked her.

"I guess it could be a material for your literature writing."She smiled in puerility.

"The female architect can accuse the administrator."I said in calm.

"But where is the proof?"Franscine reacted quickly.

"The disc of drawings ."I answered.

When we said goodbye that night,Franscine said she was feeling a little cold.

And I embraced her .

Several days later,SHe told me my words were advicable,when the firm declared preparing to charge the administrator , the government organization confessed their crime quickly and apologized to the architect,returning back the money they had misappropriated.The firm then retracted the charge.

-----
Now Franscine was in the forgein country,I hoped she was good at living and studying.

the evening was even late now.I retraced my story between Franscine and me,she was such a good girl.

Before she left China,I got meeting with her,I asked her why she didn't want to leave when we were in the forthcoming rain that day on the volleyball playground.She said she still hadn't passed a ball for me.She liked to see me jumping and smashing .I was moved by her words and tears dropped down from my eyes out of control.(over)
