At the end of December, my senior colleague returned to the company.

A new batch of products has been packaged and is undergoing production inspection and coordination.

Lin Xun has also entered the final exam review stage.

The courses in the first semester of their junior year were quite important, so they experienced the feeling of tension for the first time.

What am I nervous about? Of course, I'm nervous about failing the exam.

Since most third-year students take closed-book exams, college students who are essentially back to basics can only memorize by rote. Even if they receive specific notes from their teachers, they may not be able to memorize them all.

Unlike in high school, where the whole book was the key point.

As the days flew by, the final exams officially arrived.

The first subject was already quite difficult, a closed-book exam. Lin Xun happened to be sitting in the front row, and the teacher's eyes kept glancing over, so he couldn't even look around.

Of course, the review results were quite good. Most of the questions were the ones the teacher asked us to memorize, so it wasn't difficult to pass the exam without failing.

Lin Xun handed in his paper early and walked out of the examination room.

Seeing Gou Shengli and Liu Gang scratching their heads in frustration, he sighed, "They're hopeless cases!"

"Pfft, you finished your exams so quickly?" A soft laugh came from behind.

Lin Xun turned around and saw Su Qing, who was holding exam tools and looking at him with a smile.

Lin Xun nodded: "I just handed in my paper."

Su Qing glanced at him and asked, "Do you think university courses are difficult?"

Lin Xun thought for a moment and then said, "It's different. The environment is different. There's no comparison. High school is a closed environment where students can only learn according to the prescribed courses. But university is too free. Everyone has their own ideas. Once laziness becomes a habit, they will become lazy."

Su Qing chuckled: "I agree with your point of view."

To be honest, she had mixed feelings. Lin Xun's college entrance exam score was higher than hers, and Lin Xun was better than her in high school, especially in science and English. She couldn't even gain an advantage in English, a subject that girls usually excel in.

However, their life trajectories changed dramatically after they went to university.

Even though Su Qing went to university, she continued to study diligently and did not slack off. While everyone around her was having fun, she stayed true to herself. So while others were eating, drinking and having fun, she had already earned a lot of honorary certificates.

Her knowledge base is also increasing day by day, and she will at least become a PhD in the future.

Lin Xun was different; his life trajectory changed the moment his family background was exposed.

He doesn't need to learn any rigid things, because his elders have already built an empire behind him, and all he has to do is inherit it.

Therefore, the course knowledge that he finds difficult now is just the basics in Su Qing's eyes.

That's probably the difference between them.

Lin Xun was aware of this, but he didn't care.

He doesn't care about anyone's opinion, because he has his own path to walk.

Therefore, even though Su Qingshi was by his side, she never asked him to master professional knowledge.

Lin Xun's path was forged through practice.

"I heard you won an award in a competition recently?" Lin Xun suddenly thought of something and asked curiously.

He had only heard about it from his classmates, but didn't know the specifics.

Su Qing nodded slightly: "It's only second place, the result might not be ideal."

Lin Xun smiled wryly and said, "Second place is still very good. You know, those who can participate in the competition are all top students from well-known universities in the city."

Su Qing pursed her lips and remained silent.

Her goal is, of course, to do her best. Even though she won second place in such a competition, which might be glorious in the eyes of others, she felt it was far from enough.

Getting first place means her potential is not there, but getting second place proves that her limit is second place, and she has reached a bottleneck.

Lin Xun suddenly asked, "By the way, did Li Ziyuan from Class 3 also participate in the competition? How did she do?"

Su Qing raised an eyebrow and said, "Not bad, we got seventh place."

Lin Xun wasn't surprised, after all, her senior had said that Li Ziyuan's abilities still needed improvement, and she was still somewhat behind Su Qing.

"Why are you so focused on other girls? Won't Senior Su be jealous if she finds out?" Su Qing asked him with a half-smile.

Lin Xun smiled faintly, "How could my senior be jealous of such a small matter? Besides, she knows it too."

Su Qing suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

Lin Xun smiled and said, "Aren't you going to find a boyfriend yet?"

Su Qing snapped out of her daze, her lips twitching: "You don't need to worry about that."

She discovered that these guys really cared about her feelings.

Gossip every day.

Just as Lin Xun was about to speak, his gaze suddenly fell on a figure not far away, and he raised an eyebrow: "Hey, they should be here to see you."

Su Qing turned her head and saw Li Wei walking towards her.

What's this guy doing here?

"Hey, what are you guys talking about?" Li Wei asked with a smile.

Lin Xun said calmly, "It's just some academic stuff. Do you have exams too?"

Li Wei nodded: "Yes, I just handed in my paper."

Lin Xun suddenly asked, "Do you think university courses are difficult?"

Su Qing: ? ? ?

Why is this guy asking the same question as me?

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant. He glanced at Su Qing and then smiled and replied, "It's alright. Actually, most people think university courses are difficult because they are lazy and don't want to cope. In reality, as long as you put in a little effort, it's much easier than high school."

"For example, I only studied for a few hours last night, and when I took the test just now, I found it wasn't difficult. I got about 95 points."

Lin Xun: ...

Okay, okay, you've really gone all out with your act.

Dude, you're even giving examples now, huh?

So you're just a lazy bum all by yourself!

"Ahem, well, you guys chat, I have a date to go." Lin Xun said casually, then turned and left with a flourish.

Li Wei: ……

Su Qing: ...

Damn it, so what if you have a partner?

Su Qing glanced at Li Wei, nodded, and then prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute," Li Wei suddenly called out to her.

Su Qing stopped in her tracks, then looked at him with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?"

Li Wei opened her mouth, then said somewhat shyly, "Are you free this weekend? My second uncle owns a restaurant in Nancheng that serves Northeastern cuisine. You should like it."

Su Qing hesitated for a moment, then said, "You... only invited me?"

Li Wei was taken aback, then quickly said, "Oh, and there are also some friends from our department, and some girls, some of whom you know."

Upon hearing this, Su Qing nodded slightly and did not refuse: "Okay, then I'll trouble you."

She's from Northeast China, so Northeastern cuisine is quite appealing to her.

Upon hearing this, Li Wei smiled.

The pounding heart gradually calmed down the moment the girl answered.

(The story of these two people will be written in a side story!)
