The start of the new semester at Jiangnan University coincided with the period around Valentine's Day.
Couples can be seen everywhere on campus, their sweet, romantic interactions creating a saccharine atmosphere.
Of course, while some people are interested in Valentine's Day, others are indifferent to it.
People who dislike celebrating Valentine's Day can usually find two reasons.
The first one is very important.
As young people of the new generation, we feel that the old adage that you should start dating when you reach a certain age is outdated. As contemporary college students, it's more important to fulfill our own needs, study hard, and strive for a better tomorrow!
The second reason is insignificant and not worth mentioning:
I don't have a partner.
Snap...
The basketball that Wu Sheng shot bounced out of the hoop.
Wang Wei leaped up, caught it, and then tossed it to Chen Guang, who was standing next to him.
Chen Guang continued shooting.
"It's boring."
He said, "All you do all day is kiss and make love between men and women; it's not healthy."
"that is."
Wang Wei patted the basketball Chen Guang had shot, continuing his shooting practice while reflecting on his mundane thoughts: "What's the point of being in a relationship? Can we get married? And even if we do get married, can we guarantee we won't get divorced? And even if we don't get divorced, what's the point? In the end, we'll all die anyway—"
He threw it.
*Thud*, it hit the frame again.
Wu Sheng went to retrieve the backboard.
Chen Guangze then spoke:
"It's better to play ball. Romantic relationships are all superficial. Only physical fitness is real."
Wu Sheng glanced at it casually:
"There are girls watching."
Chen Guang: !
Wang Wei: ! !
"Give me the ball!" Chen Guang roared.
"I'll fucking perform the 'Dragon's Regret' whirlwind dunk!" Wang Wei shouted.
Wu Sheng: "...Ah, a man picked me up."
Chen Guang: ...
Wang Wei: ...
“It’s boring. So what if I found a girlfriend? It’s affecting my studies—” Chen Guang said.
"I don't even have enough time to play games, let alone find a girlfriend? Isn't that just making things harder for myself?" Wang Wei said again.
“Look at Brother Wei.”
Chen Guang is referring to his half-brother Chen Wei, who is from the same clan but has a different father.
Although they were not in the same department, he and Wu Guang were classmates, and Wang Wei and Chen Wei were roommates. But since they helped Lu Yibei practice basketball together last year, they have become good friends and often play basketball together, and are known as the Four Heavenly Kings of the Basketball Court.
"Have you still run into him on the court since he got a girlfriend?"
After asking, Chen Guang continued, "No. Ha, I don't have any time for myself anymore... I still prefer playing basketball."
"Who can argue with that?"
Wang Wei said, "When I asked him to play games with me, he always said he didn't have time, that he had to play games with his girlfriend or something—his mind has been corrupted by women."
After Wu Sheng shot, Chen Guang went to grab the rebound.
"Besides, you finding a girlfriend is like picking someone else's precious little cabbage that they've worked so hard to raise. It's immoral... You'll get hammered to death sooner or later. Don't let Wei-ge's tall and strong appearance fool you; if Jue-jie's dad finds out, he'll beat the cholera out of him."
As he spoke, Chen Guang lifted his toes off the ground.
His posture was beautiful; just as the ball was about to slip from his fingers, Wang Wei said again:
"Oh, speaking of which, Chen Wei's group came to school with his girlfriend... I heard that Mang went to her house to pick her up and even met her dad..."
Chen Guang's wrist twitched.
The basketball, which should have gone in 100%, bounced off the rim.
The rebound force is extremely strong.
Bang!
It hit him in the face.
Wu Sheng turned around in surprise, looking at Wang Wei: "...Huh?"
"It seems he heard that his girlfriend praised him for being brave enough to go to the school beauty Ji's house during the Chinese New Year, so he decided to follow suit."
Wang Wei's eyebrows twitched violently, and his expression became somewhat ferocious.
Wu Sheng: "…………Huh?"
They even copied this...
Wait… Brother Lu also went to his father-in-law's house?
You guys...?
…………ah?
Chen Guang, oblivious to the basketball rolling further and further away after hitting his face, exclaimed, "Brother Wei actually survived being beaten to death by Sister Jue's dad..."
"Your sister Jue's father is a head shorter than Chen Wei—"
Wang Wei continued, "But because his departure was so abrupt, his father-in-law didn't have any good feelings towards him at all."
Upon hearing this, Chen Guang and Wu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness.
But then I thought about it.
No, no.
Although I don't want my brother to drive a Land Rover, I'm still worried that he might be living a hard life.
"No, what about Brother Wei?" Wu Sheng asked.
Wang Wei's expression became even more distressed.
"It seems Wang Jue talked to him afterwards, saying that she had always listened to her parents since she was little, doing whatever they told her to do, but not this time. She had to trust her own choices—"
Wu Sheng: ...
Chen Guang: ...
The expressions of the two men turned nauseous, with Chen Guang's being particularly disgusted.
"Why wasn't he beaten to death by Sister Jue's father?!" he said.
Although I worry about my brother's life being tough, I'm still worried about him driving a Range Rover!
Wang Wei couldn't help but groan, "I'm so miserable—Chen Wei has already secretly pledged his life to someone, but I don't even have a single girl on my friend list whom I can contact privately!! We're even roommates—"
After saying that, he looked at Wu Sheng and Chen Guang, who were also in the same dormitory.
Wang Wei sighed softly:
"You guys are so much better, your relationship is stable, unlike that bastard Chen Wei, who abandons me as soon as he gets a girl."
Chen Guang: ...
He actually wanted things to be unstable.
But there's no chance!
"Oh, it almost became unstable." Wu Sheng was the more composed one. He said, "That kid Chen Guang almost got out of being single."
Chen Guang couldn't stand it anymore: "What do you mean by 'almost found a partner'? Watch your mouth, don't slander me."
“The former roommate of the campus belle Ji…” Wu Sheng said.
"Was that almost?!"
Chen Guang almost cursed: "That's a world of difference, brother!"
Wang Wei felt a mix of emotions. He patted Chen Guang and Wu Sheng on the shoulders and said, "At least the result is good, and you can still play together."
Chen Guang: ...
Damn it, is this the good outcome he wanted?!
Wang Wei sighed again: "If you ever have the chance to date, you must seriously consider the tragic situation of your best friend!!"
As he spoke, Wang Wei's face turned sorrowful again.
He felt like he was the most miserable person in the world.
My friend is so happy, while I am still all alone.
I ask Heaven!
"Who dares to be more miserable than me?!"
…
Chu Chu had just returned to school.
