"Damn it, Chen Lu, why are you drinking so much?" Jiang Chao cursed.

Chen Lu slowly stood up, shook his head, and asked him in return, "Why did you drink so much yesterday?"

Jiang Chao was taken aback. "I'm in a bad mood."

"I'm not in a good mood either."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chao initially wanted to pull him down so he could experience what it meant to suffer. However, seeing Chen Lu's somber expression, he gave up.

He could only scratch his head in curiosity and sit down on the edge of his bed.

The dormitory curtains were still drawn, with only a few rays of morning light filtering through the gaps and falling on the floor.

Jiang Chao stared silently at the spots of light on the ground, continuing to ponder his own affairs.

Chen Lu picked up his phone, greeted Liang Zhirou with good morning, and casually asked her what kind of filling her steamed buns had.

Then he suddenly discovered something new and interesting.

Mo Yuqing also sent him a good morning message.

He thought about it and decided to pretend he hadn't seen it.

To say you can let go is not something you can just do when you've grown up together and liked someone for so long.

But as for whether I want to go back to how things were before, I really don't.

Looking back now, it's hard to believe that some people feel tired after seven years together, let alone someone like me who persisted in pursuing someone for seven years... It's quite an abstract concept.

"Hey, have you thought this through yet? I'm really not asking you to work for me, so you don't need to worry too much."

Jiang Chao interrupted his thoughts, "If you don't like this way of speaking, I'll work with you as long as you want, but you'll have to invest some money, otherwise it won't be right with those workers."

It's unrealistic to expect everyone to be on equal footing with him, the one who invested the most, just because Chen Lu doesn't work as a programmer or artist.

He may not care, but others certainly won't stand for it, and then they won't be of one mind.

Although Jiang Chao kept trying to win over Chen Lu like a whimsical child, he actually knew exactly what was going on.

Chen Lu looked at him in shock, and only after confirming that he wasn't dreaming did he say, "Holy crap! Are you serious?"

"I'm serious." Jiang Chao met his gaze, his eyes unwavering.

"Let me think about it some more."

"What are you so afraid of?" Jiang Chao glanced around to make sure no one else was in the dorm before continuing, "Over the years, the two of us have actually been the closest. Don't you trust me?"

Chen Lu believed him. Back then, his account was hacked, and the scammers who hacked it sent out mass messages asking for money.

A short while later, Jiang Chao rushed up to me with a bank card, panting, and said that there was 50,000 yuan in it, which he had just asked his father for.

You could say he was stupid, but he chose to hand over the money to himself in person.

If you say he's smart, he actually believes it.

Seeing that Chen Lu didn't speak, Jiang Chao slapped his thigh and lay down on the bed. "Fine, I'll visit you three times. I'm determined to invite you, my Zhuge Liang, over here."

"I don't trust myself. Why are you so eager to trick me into joining?" Chen Lu was genuinely curious.

"What do you mean by lying! It's because I trust you, of course," Jiang Chao said earnestly. "You're the only one who doesn't know your own strengths. I've talked about this with my girlfriend privately, and even she has no objections. You really know more than any of us; you just lowered yourself for too long when you were pursuing Mo Yuqing..."

His tone became serious, "You should look up and see yourself."

"knew."

Chen Lu nodded and continued packing his things to leave.

"Have you seen American Dreams in China?" He opened the door and looked at Jiang Chao with a wicked grin.

"I've seen it, so what?"

"Never start a company with your best friend!" Chen Lu joked as he walked outside.

Looking at the tightly closed door, Jiang Chao couldn't help but curse, "Go to hell!"

"I'll be waiting for you!"

......

Chen Lu arrived at the playground, ready to watch the drama club's final rehearsal.

Tomorrow is the school anniversary celebration. They practice during the day and then rehearse on the stage that has been set up in the evening.

He has changed his opinion of this group of social terrorists.

At least they were a group of social terrorists with dreams. Since the school didn't have enough space, they rehearsed on the playground in the sweltering heat.

When Chen Lu arrived, Liang Zhirou had already been waiting there for a long time, which surprised him. It seemed to be the first time he had arrived so late.

Perhaps because today was the last day of the drama club's rehearsal for this program, the girl did not stay in her usual spot, but instead moved to the front and quietly watched them perform.

Lin Miaomiao stood beside her, a very satisfied smile on her face.

Upon seeing Chen Lu, Liang Zhirou quickly ran to him and handed him the breakfast she had brought.

However, the smell of alcohol made the girl frown.

"Hey, could you drink less alcohol in the future...?"

After Liang Zhirou finished speaking, she realized that she had unconsciously grabbed Chen Lu's arm, and quickly let go.

Even though the girl was shy, she didn't back down. She stubbornly stood there, looking at Chen Lu with a little bit of obstinacy, waiting for his answer.

"Okay." Chen Lu found it amusing and agreed with a smile.

The way this silly, shy girl is trying so hard to look me in the eye is just so adorable.

Upon hearing this, the girl quickly lowered her head, feeling her cheeks burning.

Chen Lu then ate breakfast while watching the social terrorists rehearse with Liang Zhirou.

Chen Lu was somewhat surprised.

I have to say, his acting is getting more and more convincing; his delivery of lines alone is beyond what one would expect from a college student.

He's way better than many young heartthrobs.

You could tell from Liang Zhirou's focused gaze.
