“Listen, the so-called ‘college roommate’ refers to a friend who has no relationship with you after leaving college.”
"After graduation, we enter society and go our separate ways. There will definitely be a group of people who say 'It's so hard to find a job,' and another group who say 'I don't want to look for a job anymore, my dad asked me to help out at his company.'"
"People like this will never cross paths again after they graduate from university."
"Our only meeting from now on will be at someone's wedding."
"The people on stage boasted that 'hundreds of people gathered together, making this a glorious occasion,' while the people off stage muttered about 'millions of dollars in business that have been lost entirely'—to put it bluntly, weddings are just occasions to brag about the status quo, and it doesn't matter whether you go or not."
"...Ma Jiaojiao, are you even listening?"
Zhao Xun coldly expressed his ruthless words.
Ma Jiaojiao's gaze skipped over his shoulder and looked behind him at a group photo placed next to the computer monitor.
Besides her senior, the other three people in the group photo are all boys.
Of course, her senior was also a boy, but it wasn't immediately obvious.
The four people in the photo are all very young.
At least, younger than I am now.
Compared to the girl... cough cough, boy in the photo, Ma Jiaojiao didn't think her senior had aged much. He hadn't become more mature or composed... by no means.
Perhaps there are indeed vast differences in temperament between "adults" and "students" after graduation.
Zhao Xun, who was just over twenty years old, is no longer the same person he is now in his mid-twenties.
Because he often has to sit at work, his complexion is paler than it was in college, and he looks a little haggard, with a thin layer of dark circles under his eyes—but it doesn't affect his still outstanding good looks.
“…Yes, yes, yes.” Ma Jiaojiao said helplessly.
She remembered that this photo was taken many years ago when her senior and his roommate went to Prince Bay Park to see tulips.
The senior looked awkward.
The other three, however, all looked directly at the camera.
“So, I can attend the wedding, but let’s skip the ‘wedding night’ party,” Zhao Xun said casually.
His cold demeanor, coupled with his thin face and physique, gave people the first impression that he was difficult to get along with and somewhat harsh.
This is the difference between Ma Jiaojiao and Zhao Sun.
Both Zhao Xun and Ma Jiaojiao work in offices, but Zhao Xun gets thinner and thinner, while Ma Jiaojiao has to go to the gym after work to maintain her weight.
Her eyes, framed by large black-rimmed glasses, tilted her head again: "Aren't you going?"
Zhao Xun firmly replied, "I won't go."
The two were discussing Zhao Xun's college roommate's wedding.
He's right about at least one thing.
After graduating from university, we all went our separate ways. We used to hang out every day, but now it's hard to get everyone together for a reunion.
During the wedding, the couple will definitely focus more on taking care of their relatives, and close friends can only exchange a few words.
Therefore, the parties involved suggested that they arrive a night earlier so that they could have a get-together with their friends first.
The wedding was originally scheduled for a day off, so it was quite convenient to just bring it up a day earlier.
Everyone else who was circled raised their hands and feet in agreement, even the Cantonese boy who was furthest from the destination.
Zhao Xun, however, remained cold and indifferent, unwilling to attend the gathering.
Looking at her senior's cold profile, Ma Jiaojiao sighed:
"Don't worry, senior, they won't really make you call them dad. I'll stop them when the time comes."
Zhao Sun: ...
Ma Jiaojiao was referring to the game brawl a few days ago.
—Although we haven't had many get-togethers since graduation, we're all experts at surfing the internet, and we still often play games together.
—And it was a “punishment game”.
—The last one called out "Dad".
Zhao Xun, on the other hand, won the honor of coming in last place.
Two reasons.
Firstly, Zhao Xun was simply not good at that kind of PVP game.
The second reason is irrelevant.
Lu Yibei did not participate.
Upon hearing this, the last gentleman muttered, "...It's not because of that."
Ma Jiaojiao nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, yes."
Zhao Xun clicked his tongue, too lazy to argue.
Ma Jiaojiao asked again, "Really not going?"
Zhao Xun: "I really won't go."
"Then I'm off."
When Ma Jiaojiao reached the door, she turned back and waved to Zhao Xun: "If we don't leave now, we'll miss the high-speed train. Senior, please take good care of the house. Oh, and remember to come early tomorrow."
Zhao Xun: "...No, you!"
Shouldn't we be on the same side?
"Senior Hao has been urging me in the group chat," Ma Jiaojiao said again.
After graduation, some of them became "Shanghai drifters".
For example, Ma Jiaojiao, Hao Zhangwen, and Zhao Sun are not considered drifters; he is a native of Shanghai.
As for the other group, they are the people who have migrated to Hangzhou.
For example, Liu Jie, Li Si, Lu Yibei and Wang Jue are not exactly drifters; they are all from Hangzhou.
Although the two cities are very close, they are still separated by two separate cities.
It's not easy to get together, but Zhao and Ma, along with Hao Zhangwen, often go out to eat together in their spare time.
However, since Hao Zhangwen was in the high position of best man at this wedding, he set off to prepare even earlier.
Seeing the muscular girl carrying her light coat out the door, Zhao Sun gritted his teeth, jumped up from his chair, and chased after her.
Ma Jiaojiao wasn't surprised at all; the smile on her soft face looked mischievous.
"Oh my, senior~~"
Zhao Sun clicked her tongue slightly: "...I've already bought the tickets."
Looking at the nonchalant Zhao Xun, Ma Jiaojiao chuckled softly, then stretched out her wicked hands...
Zhao Xun: "...You fucking bastard! Stop touching my face!!"
