Lu Gaoliang just stared at Fu Linchuan.
He didn't see a trace of mockery or sarcasm on Fu Linchuan's face; instead, he saw concern and worry.
Lu Gaoliang suddenly felt a lump in his throat.
It is said that men do not easily shed tears, but he actually wanted to have a good cry.
But he didn't.
He paused for only a moment, then opened the car door and moved inside.
Lu Gaoliang has never felt his life transform from gloom and darkness to brilliance as he does today.
His wonderful life shouldn't be wasted on Gao Ning.
The car slowly started and headed towards Tsinghua and Peking Universities.
The two of them didn't say a word the whole way until they got off the bus.
The night was cold, and Lu Gaoliang's heart was even colder than the night itself, but now, Fu Linchuan gave him warmth and light.
Fu Linchuan stood there, just staring at Lu Gaoliang.
"If you get in my car, it means you still consider me your brother."
Lu Gaoliang smiled and extended his hand.
Fu Linchuan placed his hand on Lu Gaoliang's hand, and the two bumped shoulders.
Lu Gaoliang let out a long sigh of relief. "Fu Linchuan, thank you."
"No need for that. You should be thinking about how we can stand out in the competition," Fu Linchuan said.
Lu Gaoliang smiled and said, "Okay."
The two walked back like that, and after a long while, Lu Gaoliang finally said, "Linchuan, I won't say anything more. We'll be best buddies for life."
Fu Linchuan curled his lips into a smile, "Okay, best buddy for life."
Lu Gaoliang sighed, "From now on, Gao Ning will no longer be a part of my life. Lin Chuan, you don't know, I once thought that after I graduated from university, I would definitely have a bright future, and I would marry Gao Ning. We would be the kind of perfect couple that you read about in books. I didn't care whether we had children or not. As long as she was happy, as long as she was content, I would just be by her side every day."
"But I was wrong after all. I didn't know her heart wasn't with me. Maybe she liked money more, but I don't have it now."
"Let's not talk about it anymore, there's no future. I need to work hard and strive for excellence; my bright future awaits me!"
Fu Linchuan patted Lu Gaoliang on the shoulder, "Yes, the road ahead will be a bright future for you."
Although Lu Gaoliang felt he should let Gao Ning go, he still tossed and turned all night.
However, when he got up early the next morning, he was actually in pretty good spirits.
He Qingyang joked, "Lu Gaoliang, you're in great shape today, you seem to be on fire."
"Of course, aren't we supposed to be preparing well for the competition? I'm full of fighting spirit right now."
After the morning classes ended, the group ate lunch in the cafeteria and returned to their dormitory.
Fu Linchuan spotted Gao Ning waiting outside the dormitory building from afar.
She wore a gray wool coat, her hair was permed into waves and draped over her shoulders, and she wore a pair of black leather shoes.
Seeing Lu Gaoliang and the others return, Gao Ning immediately walked over and called out, "Gaoliang."
Lu Gaoliang frowned.
Seeing this, Fu Linchuan called to Meng Ziping and the others, "Brothers, let's go back first."
"I have nothing to say to you," Lu Gaoliang said, and prepared to leave.
Gao Ning called out, "Lu Gaoliang, I have something to say to you."
Lu Gaoliang took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at her as if she were a stranger. "Gao Ning, I have nothing to say to you. It's over."
Gao Ning seemed quite angry as well. "Lu Gaoliang, are you going to blame me for this? You have no money, and I can't have anything I want. Are you going to blame me?"
Lu Gaoliang frowned.
After hearing Gao Ning's words, he was momentarily at a loss for words.
So, in the end, it became his fault?
"Lu Gaoliang, your affection and love are truly suffocating. If it's over, it's over; if we're breaking up, we're breaking up. But you actually stalked me! You've disappointed me so much! Lu Gaoliang, from now on, let's go our separate ways. It's best if we never see each other again!"
After saying that, Gao Ning turned and left.
Lu Gaoliang stood there, watching Gao Ning's back, and suddenly had a strange feeling.
Is this Gao Ning, whom he knew before?
But it didn't matter anymore; he had already let go, and the love in his heart had dissipated with her departing figure.
Back in the dormitory, everyone noticed that Lu Gaoliang didn't look well.
He Qingyang and the others didn't know about Gao Ning's situation and were joking with Lu Gaoliang, "Gaoliang, did you have a fight with your girlfriend?"
Lu Gaoliang said nonchalantly, "We didn't argue, we just broke up."
"What?" He Qingyang almost fell off the bed. "No, Lu Gaoliang, you mean his looks? Aren't you two very close?"
The others also gathered around.
Lu Gaoliang smiled and said, "Of course it's true. The good relationship was in the past. If it's not working out, we can just break up. It's no big deal. I'll find someone better later."
Fu Linchuan finished packing his things. "Alright, let's stop talking about that. Let's go to the library after we're done packing."
Once he got busy, Lu Gaoliang really threw himself into studying and competing.
Seeing that Lu Gaoliang didn't mention it, the other people in the dormitory also stopped talking about Gao Ning.
Fu Linchuan was busy with his studies and competitions.
I made two more trips to the military base when I had some free time.
On his second trip, Zhang Minglang was overjoyed to see Fu Linchuan.
"Linchuan, I have good news for you."
Zhang Minglang was clearly overjoyed. "What good news? Wasn't the previous library already debugged? And there's a new task?"
Zhang Minglang laughed and said, "No, no. Linchuan, the organization gave me special permission to enlist. See, isn't that fantastic news?"
Fu Linchuan was genuinely surprised by this, and he was quite excited. "A special approval for your enlistment?"
"Yes, yes, according to the technical job category, Minister Fan said that he will send me to study later. But I also need to work hard and strive to learn more so that I can make a greater contribution to the military!"
Fu Linchuan exclaimed, "That's good. Keep up the good work!"
"Linchuan, I owe everything I have today to you." Zhang Minglang never dreamed that he, coming from the countryside, could work in the military in Beijing and be recommended by such a high-ranking leader as Minister Fan.
In his heart, everything he had started from meeting Fu Linchuan.
Fu Linchuan didn't think so. "It's not my achievement. It's your own ability. Minister Fan recommended you and even sent you to study, which proves your own talent."
Zhang Minglang chuckled and scratched his head. "Linchuan, no matter what, you're still my great benefactor!"
After finishing his work at the military base, Fan Xinli came over and said, "Da Chuan, I'm going back to Kyoto. I'll take you back to school."
Fu Linchuan didn't stand on ceremony, "Okay, Uncle Fan."
