"Hey kid, how about checking out the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Association?"
"Then give me a registration form."
This was Lu Yuan and Zheng Wan's first encounter.
The moment Lu Yuan looked up and saw the senior student wearing a white T-shirt and overalls from the club, he immediately filled out the application form, even though he had no intention of joining the club.
When I got back to the dorm with the watch, I was still feeling dizzy.
When Qi Yanche and the others saw that he had joined this club, they all shook their heads. "Why did you join such a boring club? It seems like this club doesn't have any other activities besides attending lectures and participating in 'Internet+'?"
Lu Yuan smiled and took back the flyer. He wasn't there for the event; he just wanted to see that senior sister again.
Not long after he joined, the club notified him that he had officially joined.
From then on, Lu Yuan would attend every event whenever he was free.
He learned his senior's name and added her on WeChat, but that was all; he was still too timid.
As Zheng Wan entered her junior year and became increasingly busy, she gradually withdrew from the clubs, and Lu Yuan's heart sank as well.
She thought her unrequited love had come to an end, but unexpectedly, they met again after the disaster.
The disaster did not harm the senior sister in the slightest; she lived so calmly, while he himself seemed even more destitute.
He can't speak well and only knows how to bury himself in his work. Has Zheng Wan noticed his feelings?
Perhaps they noticed, but are just pretending not to know.
Once the city begins reconstruction, other aspects of life also need to get back to normal.
After learning that Hefeng Valley had begun researching biological ecological restoration, Lu Yuan and Qi Yanche went there together.
One team studies post-disaster ecological issues, while the other studies how to restore food production.
They only go home once a month, and each time they only rest for two days before having to go out again.
So when they returned home after completing their report and summary at the end of the month, their jaws nearly dropped.
Lu Yuan was already straddling Chen Yiyi when he roared, "I planned everything, but I never expected you to find a partner before me! You didn't let a word of it slip by!"
Shen Lingfeng quickly pulled him away, "Oh dear, elder brother, please don't talk about second brother."
Lu Yuan turned around and glared at Shen Lingfeng, "What right do you have to say that? Chen Yiyi is faster than you, you're no good."
Shen Lingfeng: "..." So you've started indiscriminate attacks, huh?
It's rare for the whole family to be together like this, so we all agreed to have a barbecue in the yard that evening.
My great-grandmother even lit up all the lanterns on the first floor, saying, "It's been a long time since we've had such a lively atmosphere. Lighting them up makes the family feel even more united."
Holding the plate and looking at the two couples, Lu Yuan practically had jealousy written all over his face.
Shen Lingfeng, who was also single, sat next to him and seemed very calm. "Look again, they've already found someone else."
Then he added, "They succeeded because of Yan Ge and Yi Yi's hard work. You didn't do anything, so it's normal."
Lu Yuan took a bite of the cuttlefish ball. "I just haven't had a chance yet. She was my senior and was about to graduate, and then disaster struck one after another. It's still not suitable now. She doesn't seem to want to at all."
Shen Lingfeng couldn't stand his dawdling any longer and punched him hard. "When is the right time? Is it right when her child is already three years old?"
Lu Yuan fell silent. He looked at Zheng Wan beside the oven and felt a pang of sadness.
He said slowly, "Perhaps we were just not meant to be."
Fourth year of reconstruction —
"Shouldn't we celebrate? Let's go out for a meal tonight!"
"OK!"
After so much research, we've finally achieved results, and everyone is incredibly happy.
Although Lu Yuan was supposed to go home today, he decided to finish the gathering before going back. After sending a message to his parents, he and his colleagues went out together.
There were only five of them, so they didn't choose a big restaurant, but instead found a place they usually ate at.
I don't know what day it is today, but the small restaurant is almost completely full.
The proprietress glanced around and pointed to the round table at the very back, saying, "If you gentlemen don't mind, could you share a table with that lady? She's alone, so you can squeeze in a bit and have a seat."
"Of course they don't mind," Lu Yuan said. "As long as that lady is willing, we are."
The proprietress led them to the table, where the girl was seriously ordering food.
Before the proprietress could speak, Lu Yuan blurted out, "Zheng Wan, what are you doing here?"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Zheng Wan immediately looked up.
She wasn't that surprised, but she was especially happy. "I was just wondering if I'd run into you at this restaurant near your workplace, and I actually did!"
It turned out they were acquaintances; the proprietress simply walked away when she saw them chatting.
Zheng Wan looked at the people next to and behind him and waved politely, "Hello, Lu Yuan, aren't you going to introduce yourself?"
After a brief introduction, everyone sat down.
Zheng Wan quickly handed them the menu, saying, "Take a look and see what you'd like to eat."
Sitting next to him, Lu Yuan was still puzzled. "Why did you come to Hefeng Valley?"
Zheng Wan blinked and said softly, "I resigned a few days ago because I want to start my own business. That's why I'm here to investigate."
Lu Yuan pointed to the small shop, "There are plenty of restaurants like this in Jiufeng Mountain, did you really need to come all this way? What time will it be after you finish eating? Do you know that there are still a lot of bad people after dark..."
He started talking like a monk chanting sutras, so Zheng Wan covered his mouth and said, "It's such a nice day, stop chanting. Your colleagues will all feel bad."
During the meal, everyone chatted and laughed. Although Zheng Wan didn't quite understand some of their professional terms, she didn't feel embarrassed.
She was exceptionally easygoing and supportive, never changing the subject, and even raised her glass several times to offer them her blessings.
After the meal, some colleagues went home, and others went back to their dormitories.
Zheng Wan drove here, so Lu Yuan doesn't need to take the bus today.
Once in the car, Lu Yuan kept insisting that he would drive, which left Zheng Wan speechless. "You've been drinking, you can't drive. Fasten your seatbelt now, I'm leaving."
Lu Yuan turned his head to the side, very unconvinced, "You drank it too, so why can't you!"
Zheng Wan turned her head and said slowly, "Because I drank cola!"
Not wanting to argue with the drunkard, Zheng Wan simply reached out and fastened his seatbelt.
After that, he took out a large black plastic bag from the side and hung it on his ear, saying, "If you want to throw up, throw up in here. If you dare to throw up in the car, I'll just throw you away."
Perhaps people are more sensitive when they are drunk.
Lu Yuan's eyes immediately reddened. "Senior sister, how could you abandon me so easily? I'm so heartbroken..."
