In the middle of summer, the pond was full of lotus flowers

There is a small pond in the school, called the Clear Lotus Pond. There are all kinds of fish and an old turtle in the pond, and there is an octagonal pavilion in the center of the pond, called the Jade Drop Pavilion.    Ling Yi and I often bought drinks and snacks, as we do now, and sat under one of the willow trees at the edge of the pond to chat. We talked about everything and everything in the sky. The most important thing is that you can get a lotus flower from somewhere without my knowledge, and the legendary lotus flower thief in the school should be Ling Yi. But because of the drawer full of lotus flowers in my dorm room, Shen Bingyue had to drag me to the head teacher several times, without knowing its meaning, reciting the only one she could recite, Lin Daiyu's "Burying Flowers".  The morning fog had just cleared and the sun was scrambling into the earth's embrace. When the first rays of sunlight kissed the cheeks of the lotus, the lotus became transparent, more and more noble and arrogant, so unconventional that it did not stain a trace of dust, the golden sunlight and the lotus became the most perfect combination when the storm clouds suddenly changed, the mountain rain came suddenly, the mountain rain came fiercely and went quickly, the lotus washed by the mountain rain had a more dynamic beauty.  The old turtle surfaced in the sun, lazily lying on the small beach in front of us, it is very old, very slow, we often buy some small fish and shrimp to feed it, it saw me and Ling Yi also seems to have a special sense of affection, can not wait to move its clumsy body, crawl to my feet and wait. Ling Yi said you give this turtle a name. I said to the silly turtle.  The days just slipped by, day by day, week by week, month by month, after the sophomore summer vacation that did not take place, we, the sophomores who did not know the sky was the limit, somehow, panicked into the senior year.  Just when I thought that our senior year and our eighteenth year would all be buried in the sea of books, unexpected things happened one after another.  In retrospect, those things in the sophomore year seem to be laying the groundwork for the present, Liuyan's ninth boyfriend, named Li Jinyuan, as to whether Li Jinyuan is Liuyan's ninth toy, I'm not sure, because this is the only time in Liuyan's love history that a woman chases a man; Xia Ò and Su Haodong, that is recognized as the golden girl, had to be together; as for Shen Bing Yue, I can't think of any reason Lin Han would As for Shen Bingyue, I can't think of any reason why Lin Han would like her, but the reason she used to stick a cucumber and still not eat is traceable; about Zuo Yan, I admire her, the person who was so easily hit by the evil like her, was beaten by her alive with a broom from the dormitory door to the school door so that the person never dared to see her.  The only thing is that our lives have become more intense, when I found out that our whole dormitory stayed up until 1 or 2 am and ZuoYan was no longer reading novels; when one of us fell asleep exhausted while staying up late and woke up in a sea of books in a panic; when it was no longer Ling Yi who accompanied me to the door of the dormitory at night but heavy books and a hurried pace; when Ling Yi and I were chatting by the clear lotus pond When the conversation is no longer about the silly turtle but about college and the future; when we collectively eat noodles to save time for studying; ...... I know that something has quietly changed, and it is this change that makes me feel so heartbroken.
