On the basketball court,
Zhou Chen easily defeated Zhang Hao and Wang Rui in a one-on-two battle.
Many students watching the scene looked on with admiration, especially some of the female students, who thought Zhou Chen was extremely handsome.
Previously, the two did not believe that Zhou Chen was better at basketball than track and field, but after the competition, they were completely convinced. The two of them tried to defend against Zhou Chen, but he easily thwarted their defense and beat them bald, making it five to zero.
"Brother Chen, tell me honestly, are you an alien?"
"Or have you awakened some kind of ability, like Spider-Man? You're definitely not a normal person."
Wang Rui stared at Zhou Chen, looking him over and over again. He felt that compared to Zhou Chen, he was like a piece of trash. Otherwise, how could Zhou Chen be so outstanding, even playing basketball so well?
"As expected, you found out." Zhou Chen sighed. Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao and Liu Wei were both shocked, their expressions revealing horror.
Zhou Chen continued, "To tell you the truth, I am actually Qin Shi Huang. I am not dead. As long as I can revive my 100,000 terracotta warriors, I can rule the world. So, I urgently need some money. If you transfer 500 to me and help me revive successfully, I will give you a great merit. In the future, when I rule the world, I will give you a region and let you be the boss."
The three of them: "..."
"Brother Chen, that's ridiculous. I'm not stupid," Wang Rui said speechlessly.
Zhou Chen chuckled: "So you know how to talk nonsense."
That day, news that Zhou Chen was playing basketball and was playing exceptionally well spread on the Yenching University forum, attracting considerable attention.
Although Zhou Chen has a girlfriend, making many girls feel they have no chance, the fact that he is not only the top scorer in the college entrance examination but also a basketball prodigy doesn't stop them from discussing it.
When Yang Meng's roommates talked about this, they speculated whether Zhou Chen could become a member of the Yanda basketball team and compete against other universities.
Seeing Zhou Chen showing off, Zhang Xiaoxiao felt a little annoyed. It was just basketball; her boyfriend Xiang Nan could play too, and he was just as good. He could go toe-to-toe with the boys in the sports department and could even dunk. Zhou Chen only won against Zhang Hao and Wang Rui, who weren't very good at basketball. If he played against her boyfriend, he would definitely lose.
Zhang Xiaoxiao secretly decided that she must let Xiang Nan participate in the University Games to steal Zhou Chen's thunder. If he could beat Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen would not only lose face, but it would also highlight Xiang Nan's prowess, proving that Zhang Xiaoxiao had good judgment and made the right choice. At the same time, it would also be a form of revenge against Zhou Chen.
The thought of being rejected for the first time in her life made Zhang Xiaoxiao look forward to this day even more.
Zhang Xiaoxiao immediately called Xiang Nan, using both sweet talk and cuteness to persuade him to participate in the University Games.
In addition to formal university classes, the selection process for the start of the sports meet was conducted after class.
In addition, freshmen also have to participate in other campus activities and elective courses, making every day very busy.
Not to mention Zhou Chen, he's still being pestered by Sun Wanying to pay his dues every day.
Logically speaking, Sun Wanying is not yet at the age where she is like a wolf in her thirties or a tiger in her forties, so she is a bit too strong in some aspects.
The specific process is too complicated to explain; it's full of sensitive words. If I were to write it down, it would take at least three days and three nights to read it all.
To sum it up in one sentence: It's a bittersweet experience.
Freshman year is rich and colorful. It's not just Zhou Chen who is fulfilling his dream of going to university in his previous life. Like his classmates in high school, everyone is enjoying the busyness and happiness that university life brings.
High school WeChat groups aren't as lively as they used to be.
The classmates who used to talk frequently now only occasionally pop up to share their daily life in college. The scenes of the whole class chatting together are hard to recreate. Some classmates will complain or express their feelings in the group chat when they go to college, but some haven't said a word since.
The friendships formed with my high school classmates are gradually fading as the group chat becomes quieter.
Only those with extremely close relationships keep in touch privately, but eventually, these relationships inevitably become distant, it's just a matter of time. Zhou Chen is used to this, because he knows it's human nature; people live in the moment.
Recalling the past is only temporary, not permanent.
...
Fanjia County,
The farmers' market.
"Miss, I'm sorry, all the vegetables are sold out today. There were some leftovers that weren't very good, but that customer bought them all."
The vegetable vendor spoke up somewhat shyly.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling frowned. Sure enough, the quality of the leftovers they had been giving her had been declining day by day, and now there were none at all.
"Sister Li, since there are no vegetables, you can give me money instead."
After a moment's thought, Zhou Ling didn't immediately show her anger. Since they weren't going to give her leftovers, it would be reasonable to give her money in return.
You can't sell the vegetables I gave you to others without giving me a single penny.
People must be reasonable!
I can do without the vegetables, but you have to give me money. You can't take my money home and spend it to support your family.
The vegetable vendor was stunned for a few seconds after hearing Zhou Ling say those words.
“Sister Li, look, the leftovers were supposed to be for me, but you sold them to someone else, so now I have nothing to eat.”
"So, as compensation, shouldn't you make up for my losses?"
Zhou Ling explained.
Sister Li scratched her head. The logic was sound, but something still felt off.
"I don't need much, ten or twenty yuan will do."
Zhou Ling smiled and extended her hand.
The vegetable vendor instinctively reached for her money, but suddenly a voice stopped her, "Are you crazy? Why are you giving her money? The vegetables belong to our family, we don't owe her anything. Have you lost your mind, woman?"
It turned out to be the woman's husband who got off the cart and scolded her.
“Little brat, my wife took pity on you and your mother and kindly gave you the leftovers, but you think it’s your due? Aren’t you ungrateful? Our family doesn’t owe you anything and has no obligation to give them to you.”
The man was furious. His wife had given Zhou Ling the leftovers as a good deed, and he had agreed to it. He never expected that Zhou Ling would not only be ungrateful but also take advantage of him and ask them for money. This woman was shameless.
Zhou Ling was furious that the money was about to be in her hands, but it was ruined by this man's words. "Sister Li promised to give me the leftovers every day. A person can't go back on their word."
"Get out, get out! We wouldn't give you our food even if you gave it to a dog. You're breaking your promise. What's wrong with you? I've never seen such a shameless person. How can a young girl be like this?"
