Ye Linchen and his two friends chatted about gossip and unknowingly arrived at the library. They found seats and began to study for their final exams.
While gossip is interesting, studying is the most important thing; you can't fail your final exams!
Ye Linchen has four exams during the first exam week of the semester.
Each subject has a large number of concepts and rules that need to be memorized, as well as headache-inducing calculation formulas.
She has been studying so hard these past two days that she hasn't even had time to participate in the debate competitions.
Since there were no classes after the start of finals week, the three of them spent the whole day in the library. They were too lazy to even go out for meals, so they just bought two pieces of bread and ate a few bites at the small canteen on the first floor of the library to make do with lunch.
I study until the library closes at night before packing up and leaving.
On the way back to the dormitory, Lin Xiaojuan brought up the winter vacation travel activities that Shen Yanlin had mentioned.
"Do you guys remember the travel activity that Shen Yanlin mentioned last time? I ran into him again yesterday when I went out of the school gate to buy something. He gave me three brochures and told us to study them and decide where to go."
As Lin Xiaojuan spoke, she took out two brightly colored brochures from her schoolbag and handed them to Ye Linchen and Feng Linlin respectively.
The brochure was produced by the Academy of Fine Arts. The cover was beautifully designed, featuring various landscape pictures in vibrant colors that were very appealing.
Lin Xiaojuan pointed to the itinerary and price and said, "This activity includes accommodation and transportation, but not meals. The morning is a group activity, and the afternoon is free time. We'll be staying in yurts in the Northwest and in a seaside hotel in Haicheng. I think both are pretty good. The price isn't too expensive either. It's more than a hundred yuan cheaper than those tour groups in the newspaper for the same itinerary!"
Ye Linchen and Feng Linlin carefully examined the contents of the brochure under the streetlights, both showing great interest.
Feng Linlin analyzed seriously, "Hmm, it does look like a good deal, and it's organized by the school, so it should be quite reliable."
Lin Xiaojuan nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes! Let's sign up! It'll be a good way to relax after the exams and reward ourselves!"
Ye Linchen thought the suggestion was good. She had been studying hard for a while and now that the exam was over, she wanted to relax.
"Sure, I have no objection!" Ye Linchen said with a smile, "But where should we go? The Northwest or Haicheng?"
Lin Xiaojuan replied without hesitation, "Of course we'll go to Haicheng! The Northwest is too cold in winter. Going to Haicheng to sunbathe and play on the beach would be so comfortable!"
Feng Linlin nodded in agreement: "I also think it's better to go to Haicheng. I've never seen the sea before. I'll wear a pretty dress and take lots of beautiful photos!"
"Blue sky, white clouds, and the sea, seagulls flying over the water, the sea breeze on our faces, and us strolling on the beach—ah, just thinking about it makes me excited."
Lin Xiaojuan closed her eyes and began to dream.
Ye Linchen had never seen the sea before and was eager to experience it, so the three of them hit it off and decided to go to Haicheng.
"It's settled then! We'll register tomorrow! We'll leave after the exam!"
Meanwhile, in Liu Mingxuan's dormitory, Meng Zihan was nestled in his arms, sweetly discussing where they should go for their honeymoon.
Although Liu Mingxuan was single and did not meet the conditions for the factory's welfare housing allocation, the factory allocated him a single dormitory room.
His dormitory was not in the single dormitory area where ordinary workers gathered, but in a newly built "elite building" next to the cadre compound.
This building is home to all the factory's single elites, one person per room, and the conditions are top-notch for single dormitories.
When Meng Zihan went to Liu Mingxuan's dormitory for the first time, she was immediately attracted by the decorations inside.
This apartment is over 30 square meters and includes a bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a small balcony.
It's clear that Liu Mingxuan is someone who knows how to enjoy life. Even though it's just a temporary residence, he's carefully decorated it, making the whole room feel warm and romantic.
A black European-style iron-framed bed stands against the wall, covered with a gray and white striped duvet cover and sheets.
Beside the bed is a light gray two-seater sofa, in front of which sits a small, exquisite glass coffee table with a few magazines casually placed on it.
On the TV cabinet opposite the sofa, there was a 29-inch TV and a stereo system.
The black and white floor tiles gleamed, and several abstract paintings she couldn't understand hung on the wall, standing out remarkably in this era.
Several lush green potted plants on the windowsill added a lot of vitality to the room.
What surprised Meng Zihan the most was the separate bathroom.
It not only has a flush toilet, which is rare nowadays, but also a shower.
This means you no longer need to go to crowded public bathhouses; you can take a hot shower at home anytime.
Meng Zihan had never seen such an exquisite and comfortable single dormitory.
Compared to the small room she now lives in, which is a converted kitchen, it's like heaven and earth.
It's much better than the Ye family's dilapidated house.
She was itching to move in immediately and live here with Liu Mingxuan, enjoying this blissful life.
Of course, she knew in her heart that this was definitely not their final destination.
After getting married, Liu Mingxuan will definitely be able to get a bigger house in the cadre compound.
At that time, hmph, the Ye family will be green with envy!
Thinking of this, Meng Zihan couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, revealing a smug smile.
The two had only been dating for a little over ten days, yet she was so certain that she could marry Liu Mingxuan because their relationship had progressed rapidly ever since they had that meal at "Weimeiju".
They went from being nodding acquaintances to inseparable lovers in no time, a development that surprised even herself.
In fact, ever since Ye Zhenghua reminded her that Liu Mingxuan was "unreliable," Meng Xueyun had been a little worried. She privately mentioned it to Meng Zihan, telling her to be more careful.
After all, if something goes wrong in this kind of situation, it's always the girl who suffers.
Meng Zihan was initially a little apprehensive. What if Liu Mingxuan was really a playboy who was just playing around with her? Wouldn't that be a waste of her precious time?
But Liu Mingxuan's subsequent performance quickly dispelled her doubts.
Liu Mingxuan treated her with utmost care and affection, spoiling her rotten and treating her like a precious gem.
She said go east, and Liu Mingxuan would never go west; he was more obedient than the most obedient puppy.
She didn't even need to speak; just a glance from her eyes was enough for Liu Mingxuan to immediately guess what she wanted, and he would hurriedly hand it to her, afraid of being a step too slow and upsetting her.
Meng Zihan hadn't felt this sense of being valued and respected in a long time, and she felt incredibly pleased, her heart as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
Doesn't this prove that Liu Mingxuan truly has feelings for her?
Given that, what else does she have to worry about?
