Chapter 114 (Exclusive)
After the college entrance examination results came out, Shen Baili became busy.
Filling out applications and majors, returning to school to shoot promotional videos, being interviewed by the Education Bureau, receiving scholarships, preparing for related courses, and so on, a series of tasks came one after another.
Considering various factors, Shen Baili chose Q University's School of Finance. Some of her friends chose schools in Beijing, some chose Haicheng, and some chose to go abroad...
They are scattered all over the world, going to experience, to feel, and to grow.
Ruan Mian and Lu Mingqian tied for second place. Both chose Q University, Ruan Mian chose medicine and Lu Mingqian chose finance. They both started internship at Lu's after taking the college entrance examination.
Meng Jiuan was admitted to Q University through the Olympic Mathematics Competition and also chose finance. Unlike Lu Mingqian, he did not immediately enter the company for internship. Instead, his parents took him to study in Europe, where he had a great time.
Joey ranked third in the school and sixth in the province. He chose to study command at the military academy he liked, which was also located in Beijing.
With unremitting efforts, Zhu Zhitao achieved the first place in liberal arts in the school and the second place in the province, and was successfully admitted to the Journalism Department of B University.
Sang Fang ranked fifth in science and was admitted to Q University's medical school, which had always been his dream.
Shen Baili, Lu Mingqian and Meng Jiuan are still classmates, and Ruan Mian and Sang Fang are also assigned to the same class.
The bond between friends is very magical.
Only Zhu Zhitao chose another school.
She is actually very conflicted because her best friend and boyfriend are both at Q University, but the faculty in the Journalism Department at B University is better than that at Q University.
She hesitated for a whole night and finally chose the school and major she wanted to go to.
Q University is right next to B University, so she can visit often.
Zhu Zhitao can have both dreams and friends.
As for Su Yan, with her own efforts and the help of the study group centered on Shen Baili, her grades have been greatly improved. She performed steadily in the college entrance examination and did well.
However, Su Yan applied for all schools in the south, and was admitted to a key university in the south as she wished.
She found two part-time jobs in the south, one in a milk tea shop and the other as a tutor. The busy life made her forget the pain and confusion for a short time.
She learned about her former friends from school bulletins and news.
Su Yan was genuinely happy for them, and all she could do was leave.
She didn't have the face to face Shen Baili.
********
September is the golden autumn and the start of the school year.
The majestic school gate is bustling with people. New students and their parents carrying suitcases can be seen everywhere. Their young faces are full of expectations for their future life.
After Shen Baili registered and got the dormitory key, the three of them pushed their luggage to the door of dormitory 606.
“That’s it.”
Shen Baili confirmed the house number and pushed open the dormitory door.
She was the first to arrive.
The dormitory is not large, but it has all the necessary facilities, including an independent bathroom and living balcony. There is a bed and a desk underneath, as well as a small wardrobe, making the best use of the space.
"The dormitory environment is pretty good." Shen Baili toured the dormitory and was very satisfied with it.
Although it's a bit small, it's clean and tidy and has everything you need.
Shen Baili's beautiful eyes sparkled: "I'll take this bed."
The bed she chose was close to the balcony, which provided good air circulation and a certain degree of privacy.
Xie Zhiyu was quick-witted. He took out a disinfectant wipe from the shopping bag and wiped the bed and table carefully, making the little corner look brand new.
Shen Wan and Shen Baili worked together to make the bed and hang the curtains. After a short while, Shen Baili's warm and comfortable private space was set up.
Shen Baili placed the panda doll next to the pillow and patted its head.
"Brother, you cleaned it so well!" Shen Baili gave a thumbs up: "You are worthy of being the elder brother!!!"
Her praise was always passionate and forthright.
"Zhiyu, thank you for your help." Shen Wan said gratefully.
Xie Zhiyu's eyes were warm and gentle: "No trouble."
After the family trip to Africa, the family members devoted themselves to their respective work. Originally, Shen Baili planned to report to the school alone. Beijing and Haicheng are less than two hours away by plane, but Shen Wan and Xie Zhiyu were worried about her being alone, so they arranged their work in advance and sent her to school.
Of course Shen Baili was very happy and was particularly excited in the days before registration.
"If you can't get used to living here, just live off campus." Shen Wan touched her daughter's head. The off campus she was talking about was Shen Baili's house near Q University, which had been packed up long ago.
"Okay." Shen Baili held her mother's hand with one hand and poked Xie Zhiyu's arm.
Xie Zhiyu turned his head slightly and looked at him with a questioning look.
What's wrong?
Shen Baili pointed in front of him and raised his head proudly: "Look! This is the kingdom that the three of us 'conquered'."
Shen Wan's eyes were filled with helpless doting as she gently pinched her fingers.
Xie Zhiyu had a smile on his face.
The dormitory door was pushed open again, and the slight sound made Shen Baili look over.
The two young girls looked over one after the other and were stunned at the same time.
"Hello." Shen Baili greeted politely.
Jiang Zhu was the first to react and said with a smile, "Hello, are you our new roommate?"
"I'm Jiang Zhu, nice to meet you."
Unlike Jiang Zhu's delicacy and calmness, the girl behind her was dragging two large suitcases. Her forehead was slightly sweaty, and her black hair was stuck to her forehead. She looked a little untidy, but her smile was brilliant: "Hello, I'm Bi Yan."
Shen Baili smiled friendly: "I am Shen Baili, nice to meet you."
…
The group simply greeted each other and went about their own business.
"Miss, which bed do you want to sleep in?" asked the middle-aged woman who came with them.
Jiang Zhu looked at the dormitory environment and frowned, "This place is too small. It's not even as big as the bathroom at home."
“…”
Jiang Zhu crossed his arms, a little unhappy: "I want to live off campus."
Shen Baili concentrated on organizing her things and placing them neatly one by one.
Both Bi's mother and the driver were in a dilemma. They couldn't be the masters of the family. They were worried and looked at Bi Yan at the same time.
Bi Yan wiped the chair clean quickly and put a pink cushion on it: "Zhuzhu, you must be tired. Drink some water and take a rest first."
"We will start military training tomorrow. Those who live off campus need to get up at least fifteen minutes earlier. I can't get up. Can you stay with me?"
Bi Yan handed the mineral water to Jiang Zhu and skillfully smoothed things over for the young lady.
Jiang Zhu curled her lips: "Okay, I'll accompany you reluctantly."
"But I must go home on weekends," she emphasized.
Bi Yan: "Okay, I'll listen to Zhu Zhu."
She looked around and quickly chose a bed: "I'll sleep on that bed, and you sleep next to me."
Bi Yan smiled sweetly: "Okay."
Without Jiang Zhu's instructions, the driver and the mother quickly packed their things.
Bi's mother and Bi Yan worked together to make the bed, and the driver was responsible for cleaning the lower table. In a short while, Jiang Zhu's little corner was made exquisite and comfortable.
Jiang Zhu sat leisurely on the chair reading a picture book, and Bi Yan did not forget to cover her legs with a small blanket.
Bi Yan's mother also made her daughter's bed. Unlike Jiang Zhu's exquisite branded bedding, Bi Yan's bed was full of colors and childlike fun. Her luggage was also half less than that of the eldest daughter.
From their few words, Shen Baili roughly understood their not-so-complicated relationship.
Bi Yan's mother works in the Jiang family. Bi Yan grew up with Jiang Zhu and is used to taking care of Jiang Zhu.
Her two roommates have their own unique personalities and it's not difficult for them to get along with each other.
Shen Baili makes friends based on fate and never forces anything.
The day passed quickly, and it was time to say goodbye.
Shen Baili was reluctant to let go, her nose was sore, and she tugged at the corner of her mother's clothes, unwilling to let go.
Shen Wan was also reluctant to leave her daughter. They were rarely apart for such a long time. She patted her daughter's back gently and comforted her: "Mom will come to see you often. Transportation is so convenient now. You can go home anytime on weekends."
"You can call mom at any time. Mom is always online, okay?" Shen Wan said gently.
Shen Baili said in a buzzing voice: "Okay, I will send you messages every day."
Shen Wan: "When you are alone at school, you need to eat well, sleep well, and take good care of yourself."
"Don't be so stubborn, understand?"
Shen Baili nodded: "Yeah!"
"Mom, you have to take care of yourself too. I will miss you."
Xie Zhiyu stood quietly by the side, his posture as tall and straight as a poplar tree.
His deep gaze fell on Shen Baili, and his trembling eyelashes were like fluttering butterfly wings.
Before leaving, Shen Baili looked at Xie Zhiyu. He rubbed her hair with his palm and said soothingly, "I will take good care of the family."
"Sui Sui, take care of yourself."
******
Shen Baili returned to the dormitory. Jiang Zhu and Bi Yan were also there, but the empty bed had no occupant yet.
"Shen Baili, you're back." Bi Yan greeted her warmly: "Have you had dinner?"
Shen Baili: "I ate it. How about you guys?"
"We ate it too." Bi Yan said with a smile: "You are so beautiful, as beautiful as your mother."
She paused and said, "Your eldest brother is also very handsome, a super handsome guy. Your whole family is handsome."
Shen Baili thanked him politely: "Thank you."
“You are beautiful too.”
She was telling the truth. Jiang Zhu had delicate facial features and had the temperament of a pampered young lady.
Bi Yan's facial features are very ordinary, but when put together they are harmonious and beautiful, pure and delicate, and very friendly.
"Are you also from Beijing?" Jiang Zhu joined the conversation: "She and I are both from Beijing."
"I'm from Haicheng." Shen Baili took the initiative: "I'm from the Finance Class 1, how about you?"
Bi Yan was very surprised: "We also study finance, but we are in Class 2."
Jiang Zhu stared at Shen Baili's face, thinking: "It seems like we have met somewhere before."
Shen Baili confirmed: "I have never seen you."
Jiang Zhu shrugged: "Maybe in a dream?"
Bi Yan suddenly thought of something: "On Weibo!"
"The most beautiful campus beauty!" Bi Yan remembered: "I saved your photo as wallpaper at that time."
Jiang Zhu was sulking for the whole day because of this, and only after Bi Yan changed the wallpaper on her phone to the same one did she calm down.
"You're even prettier in person than in the photo!" Jiang Zhu said bluntly, "No wonder we didn't think of you right away."
"You are the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Haicheng." Bi Yanlian thought of more information.
Smart, beautiful, loved by family, and well-off...
Bi Yan was good at observation. Even if Shen Baili did not introduce her family situation, she could judge that their family conditions were definitely not bad.
Jiang Zhu continued: "We are also excellent."
Shen Baili nodded: "We are all excellent."
The three of them were chatting happily. Jiang Zhu glanced around and saw a figure suddenly appear at the door. He shuddered and said, "Oh my god... there's someone there."
The last member of 606 arrived quietly.
Zhu Peng had neat short hair and a heroic look between her brows. She looked at the three men without showing any fear.
"Why don't you make any sound when you walk?" Jiang Zhu patted his frightened face and said in a complaining tone.
"I'm sorry." Zhu Peng apologized immediately and explained, "I'm used to walking lightly."
Seeing the other party's sincere attitude, Jiang Zhu felt embarrassed: "It doesn't matter."
Shen Baili smiled kindly and took the initiative to say, "Hello, I'm Shen Baili, Shen with three drops of water, Baili with white pear blossoms, very happy to meet you."
"Please take care of me for the next four years."
Zhu Peng looked at the hand that was first extended to her, clenched and relaxed his fist, and lightly shook her hand: "Hello, I'm Zhu Peng, from Liucheng."
Liucheng, a city in the central part of China, is mostly mountainous.
Bi Yan followed closely behind him: "Hello Zhu Peng, I am Bi Yan, Bi means graduation, and Yan means wild goose."
Jiang Zhu sat there: "I am Jiang Zhu."
“…”
Bi Yan naturally took over the topic: "Liucheng has beautiful scenery. I have always wanted to travel there."
Zhu Peng smiled and said, "Welcome to Liucheng for a trip. I will make sure your trip is worthwhile."
She was not uneasy and ended the topic first: "I will pack my luggage first."
Zhu Peng moved quickly. He wet the rag and wiped his area clean. Then he took out the quilt and four-piece set from one of the large woven bags, quickly made the bed, folded the quilt, and finally put all the clothes and daily necessities in another woven bag.
It took less than half an hour to survive the whole process.
Shen Baili looked at her thin body and asked concernedly, "Have you had dinner?"
Zhu Peng shook his head: "I'll pack up and go to the cafeteria to eat."
Shen Baili took out a small piece of bread from the drawer: "Put some food in there to cushion your tummy."
Zhu Peng didn't hesitate. She was indeed hungry. "Thank you."
She pursed her lips, turned around and took out three bottles of chili sauce from the bag she had packed: "This is the chili sauce my mother made herself. Do you guys... want to try it?"
Shen Baili took it with both hands: "I like spicy food very much, thank you."
"I don't..." Jiang Zhu didn't want to eat such things. She just said half a sentence of refusal, but was interrupted by Bi Yan: "We all like to eat chili sauce."
She thanked Zhu Peng and put both bottles of chili sauce into the bag.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the four people exchanged their home specialties and became closer.
Bi Yan considerately told Zhu Peng what he needed to prepare: "You have trained your troops and need to wear them tomorrow."
Zhu Peng: "Thank you. I'll go get it now."
Bi Yan continued, "If it doesn't fit, you can ask the dormitory manager to alter it. It costs five yuan per piece. The three of us have had it altered."
Zhu Peng said gratefully, "Thank you."
…
Night falls.
Shen Baili turned over and over, she missed home.
She had never been so far away from home.
I miss going home, my mom, my aunt, my elder brother, my second brother, and Uncle Xie...
"Don't you miss me, meow~" Ah Deng's tail gently brushed away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Shen Baili hugged the little orange cat and rubbed its furry head: "I miss you."
"Ah Deng."
Ah Deng gave a proud voice and turned around to nestle in the crook of Shen Baili's neck.
The night was quiet. Shen Baili was holding the little orange cat and the teddy bear, and gradually felt sleepy.
“Woo…wooo…wooo…wooo…”
Suddenly, a faint sound was heard in the quiet space.
Shen Baili turned over. There was a sound coming from the bed next to her. Zhu Peng asked softly, "Whose kettle rang?"
The sound of the boiling kettle paused for a moment, and then someone burped.
Bi Yan whispered, "I'm sorry, I miss home."
"Did I disturb your sleep?"
Jiang Zhu didn't make a sound, with the quilt covering his head and his hands tightly covering his mouth.
"I miss home too." Shen Baili spoke.
Zhu Peng was silent for a few seconds: "I miss my mother too."
Jiang Zhu's voice was buzzing: "I want to go home."
She said softly, "I'm sorry."
The sound is quieter than a mosquito in summer.
"It's okay with me." Shen Baili has sharp hearing.
"Go to bed early. We'll meet at 8 a.m. tomorrow." Bi Yan continued, "If you cry for too long, your eyelids will swell up like sad frogs tomorrow."
"I didn't cry."
“…”
The next morning, Jiang Zhu's eyes were swollen.
"What should I do?" Jiang Zhu looked at the mirror, unhappy.
"Just apply a bottle of ice water to it later."
"I'll go buy it now. Zhuzhu, change into your military training uniform first." Bi Yan made the arrangements clear: "Remember not to apply sunscreen on your eyelids yet."
Jiang Zhu waved his hand: "I'll wait for you."
Shen Baili changed her clothes, tied her belt, tied her ponytail high, put on a hat, and looked very heroic.
Joey would look very cool in it. I wonder if the military training in the academy is hard?
Joey started school half a month earlier than them, so she had limited time to use her cell phone every day.
"Shen Baili, your waist is so thin." Jiang Zhu held her face and her attention was diverted in an instant.
Shen Baili: "...Aren't you going to change your clothes? You will be late later. I heard that those who are late for the meeting will be punished by running..."
Jiang Zhu: "!!! I'll change now."
Zhu Peng turned around, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
When they gathered in the team, the four of them discovered that Zhu Peng was not from the same profession as them!
Shen Baili, Bi Yan and Jiang Zhu are all majoring in finance, and Zhu Peng is majoring in bioengineering.
Several people returned to their respective teams and found that although they were not in the same training class, they were very close.
Shen Baili and Meng Jiuan are both in Military Training Class 1, while Lu Mingqian, Jiang Zhu and Bi Yan are in Military Training Class 2.
She didn't see Sang Fang and Ruan Mian, probably because they were too far away and there were camouflage uniforms everywhere.
The first day of military training is the mobilization day and also the opening ceremony for new students.
…
"Now, please allow freshman representative Shen Baili to speak."
There was thunderous applause. Shen Baili stood on the podium, looking at the playground.
In the sunshine, the five-star red flag flutters in the wind, and the wind blows on the youthful faces.
At this moment, where she is standing is the university.
Shen Baili closed her eyes, her gaze firm: "Dear teachers and classmates, good morning, everyone. I am Shen Baili from the Finance Class 1 of the Business School..."
She had come a long way and finally got here.
The road is long, but I have no regrets.
The golden sunlight sprinkled on Shen Baili's body, enveloping her in a layer of sacred halo, shining brightly.
Meng Jiuan stared at the person on the podium, reluctant to look away.
She is bright and outgoing, full of tenacious vitality.
Zhu Peng stared at Shen Baili intently, his chest beating violently like a tiger and his dark pupils flashing with light.
…
The opening ceremony ended in the morning and military training officially began in the afternoon.
The first step in military training is to stand in military posture.
The second step of military training is self-introduction.
"I am Zhupeng. One day, the great peng rises with the wind and soars up to 90,000 miles. I come from the mountains in Liuzhou. I will be like the great peng, soaring into the sky."
“It’s nice to meet you all.”
The girl stood straight, and there was no inferiority complex on her yellow face. She was confident and bold, full of confidence in herself and her future.
She stands on the edge of the crowd, yet she will not be ignored.
Zhu Peng is dazzling, and the girls are all dazzling.
After Zhu Peng finished speaking, she sat back gracefully. There was continuous applause and cheers. She always had a sincere smile on her face. She was a little embarrassed, but she felt relieved in her heart.
Her eyes met Shen Baili who was not far away. While she was slightly stunned, Shen Baili nodded at her and raised his thumb.
The curve of Zhu Peng's mouth corner became even bigger.
…
After the self-introduction, the freshmen continued their training under the scorching sun.
Standing still, marching... every movement is repeated over and over again, sweat drips down the cheeks like rain, and every minute and every second is a test of willpower.
Jiang Zhu felt very uncomfortable, her face turned pale, and she wanted to faint, but her fragile physique held on to that drop of blood at this critical moment, preventing her from falling.
Do you want to pretend to faint?
But the floor was very dirty, and Jiang Zhu's obsession with cleanliness kicked in, so she persisted for another ten minutes.
Let it be dirty.
Jiang Zhu made up his mind and prepared to pretend to stagger forward before fainting. His body swayed a few times and just as he was about to fall, a commotion was heard from the next class.
"Someone fainted!!!?"
"Quick! Send him to the infirmary!!"
…
The monitor of the next class carried the fainted person to the infirmary, and Jiang Zhu watched them leave.
Ahhhhhhh!
With this interruption, Jiang Zhu's plan to faint failed.
Fortunately, after five minutes, the instructor announced a break.
Jiang Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, and Bi Yan immediately stepped forward and asked, "Zhu Zhu, are you okay?"
"Drink some water, slowly."
Jiang Zhu took a sip and frowned: "This water tastes weird."
Bi Yan explained, "I put a few drops of Huoxiang Zhengqi water in it. The weather is too hot, don't get a heat stroke."
Jiang Zhu reluctantly drank three more sips: "It doesn't taste good."
Upon hearing this, Bi Yan just smiled and said, "Want to eat watermelon?"
Jiang Zhu's eyes lit up: "Where are the watermelons?"
No one can resist ice-cold watermelon in the summer.
"Here." Shen Baili took two boxes of watermelon, gave one to them and kept the other for herself.
Bi Yan took the watermelon and said, "Thank you. I'll transfer the money to you when we get back to the dormitory."
Shen Baili did not refuse.
"Where did you buy the watermelon?" Jiang Zhu asked curiously.
Shen Baili: "I bought it from my senior."
Senior students discovered a business opportunity and started selling iced fruits and mineral water here, and their business is booming.
Lu Mingqian and Meng Jiuan also came over, and Shen Baili invited them to eat watermelon together.
The two of them were not polite and sat next to Shen Baili, one on the left and one on the right, eating watermelon and fanning themselves with fans, with all the wind concentrated in the middle.
"Thank you." Shen Baili said sweetly and took out some snacks from her schoolbag and shared them with everyone.
"Exercise more often and you are more likely to have hypoglycemia."
Bi Yan thanked him and took it. Looking at the two handsome men standing on the left and right of Shen Baili, he asked curiously, "Did you know each other before?"
Lu Mingqian and Meng Jiuan have attracted a lot of discussion with their outstanding looks and temperament. There are also photos of the two of them on the forum, and they are so handsome that they are stunning.
When they gathered today, Bi Yan found that the super handsome guy was very close to them.
Jiang Zhu admitted that they were handsome and was curious about the relationship between the three.
"We are friends and were in the same class for three years of high school," Shen Baili introduced.
Lu Mingqian: "Hello, I am her good friend, Lu Mingqian."
Meng Jiuan said coolly: "I am Meng Jiuan."
Bi Yan: “Oh, oh, hello.”
Jiang Zhu: "I am Jiang Zhu, and she is Bi Yan."
Bi Yan: "Yes, we are Shen Baili's roommates."
Meng Jiuan and Lu Mingqian's attitude towards them was distant and polite, which was obviously different from that towards Shen Baili.
The three of them rested and chatted.
Meng Jiuan leaned lazily on the flowerbed: "I wonder how that kid Ji Qi is doing?"
Lu Mingqian sat cross-legged on the ground, wiping the sweat off his face. He still maintained his composure: "He's having a lot of fun."
Shen Baili: "He moves up a position in his circle of friends every day, and travels around Europe."
“That’s great.”
Meng Jiuan: "Let's go abroad together during the holidays."
Lu Mingqian tilted his head and asked, "Go see Ji Qi?"
Meng Jiuan: "Of course... No, we can play by ourselves."
"Sure." Shen Baili agreed.
The whistle blew.
"gather!"
Jiang Zhu: "So annoying."
Just sat down to rest, it’s time to train again.
She complained to Bi Yan: "It's all Grandpa's fault. He forced me to go through military training."
"After a day in the sun, I feel like I'm melting."
Bi Yan felt a little distressed: "Apply an aloe mask to repair your skin at night, or should we call Uncle Jiang?"
The young lady has never suffered such hardship before.
"No!" Jiang Zhu refused resolutely: "If I give up like this, Grandpa and the others will definitely laugh at me."
"I want to let them know that I, Jiang Zhu, am not someone who will give up halfway."
Grandpa Jiang Zhu was an old Red Army soldier and was very strict with his children. He would never allow anyone in his family to use their privileges to allow Jiang Zhu to escape military training.
Jiang Zhu was brought up in a pampered family and needed to be tempered. No matter how Jiang Zhu acted coquettishly, it was useless and her grandfather even used provocation to issue a military warrant.
Once she was discharged from military training, her pocket money was cut in half.
Bi Yan was not surprised by the young lady's choice: "Okay."
"Zhuzhu is amazing!"
Jiang Zhu straightened his chest and said proudly: "I am Jiang Zhu!"
Nothing is too hard for her.
"It hurts, it hurts!"
Jiang Zhu's tears burst out from her eyes.
"Zhuzhu, don't move. It will be done soon."
Although Bi Yan was in a panic, his subordinates became more cautious in their actions.
Jiang Zhu bit her lips until they turned pale: "Are you done?"
"Okay." Bi Yan threw the cotton swab into the trash can and put the plaster back into the medicine box.
Jiang Zhu wiped away her tears, trying to hide her expression: "These are physiological tears, I didn't cry."
Bi Yan: "Well, Zhuzhu is very strong."
Shen Baili was soaking her feet and applying a moisturizing mask on her face, with a smile in her eyes: "Jiang Zhu is very strong."
Jiang Zhu pursed her lips and changed the subject: "Where's Zhu Peng?"
Shen Baili shook her head: "She took a part-time job."
Her attention was always uncontrollably drawn to Zhu Peng.
Just as Zhu Peng said, she is a bird that flew out of the mountains, with freedom in every direction...
Jiang Zhu: "She is very energetic."
Bi Yan's lips moved slightly but he said nothing.
After lunch, the number of people in the cafeteria gradually decreased.
"Zhu Peng, come and have dinner with me. You've worked hard today." The boss was very satisfied with this part-time student. She worked efficiently and relieved her of a lot of burden.
Zhu Peng wiped his hands, put the dishes into the sterilizer, and sat down quietly to eat.
"Eat more meat, you're too thin." The boss contracted a window in the cafeteria, specializing in malatang, and his business was booming.
Originally, the boss's mother and sister were working together, but the sister accidentally broke her hand.
It just so happened that we were conducting military training for new students and were extremely busy. Fortunately, we were able to recruit Zhu Peng, a part-time student.
"Thank you, boss." Zhu Peng took a big mouthful of rice with the braised pork.
Boss: "Eat more. Business is very busy today. You have worked hard."
"I put some snacks in the cabinet. If you are hungry, you can eat them directly."
Zhu Peng felt the boss's kindness: "Thank you."
This part-time job is quite good, with an hourly wage of NT$15 and meals included. She only needs to come for lunch and dinner, and works an average of three hours a day.
Zhu Peng did not find life hard; his life was full of energy.
When she returned to the dormitory, in addition to books, her bag also contained snacks and fruits secretly stuffed in by her boss.
She refused several times, but the boss always had various reasons, such as she couldn't eat so much, it was about to expire, and it would be a waste if she didn't eat it...
Zhu Peng kept this kindness in mind.
…
When Zhu Peng returned to the dormitory, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
Her roommates have all finished washing up, Shen Baili is reading a book, Jiang Zhu is video chatting with her family, complaining about how hard today's military training was, and Bi Yan is drying clothes on the balcony.
Shen Baili raised her eyes: "Are you back?"
Zhu Peng nodded: "Yes."
After a simple greeting, Shen Baili lowered her head and continued reading, while Zhu Peng took his clothes and went to the bathroom.
…
The twenty days of military training seemed like years, and finally it was the last day, the military parade.
In addition to the school leaders, military representatives also sat on the rostrum to watch the military parade. The freshmen were divided into one, two, and three formations according to their colleges to showcase their training results. This was a battle of group glory.
Shen Baili and Meng Jiuan were selected as model soldiers. They stood at the front of the team and listened attentively to the instructor's explanation of precautions.
There was a lot of noise all around, and they were very close.
She was all Meng Jiuan could think of, and his heart was beating like thunder.
He and she fought side by side.
Behind them, Lu Mingqian's expression was sticky and obscure.
…
After the military parade, the last item of military training came - military counter-terrorism exercise.
In order to play the role of terrorists, the freshmen showed their talents. Shen Baili and Lu Mingqian overcame many difficulties in the competition and finally won the two places in the villain group.
Shen Baili got the role of the terrorist leader, and Lu Mingqian was the second in command of the team, a doctor and the brains.
"Are you jealous?" Sang Fang hit the nail on the head for Meng Jiuan.
Meng Jiuan: "I'm jealous!"
Ruan Mian patted his shoulder and said, "Don't turn against us in the middle of a battle."
Meng Jiuan glanced at her and said, "We will win."
Ruan Mian's eyes had already passed through the crowd and looked at Shen Baili, and she said viciously: "Damn it! Why wasn't I the one standing next to Shunshun?"
Sang Fang and Meng Jiuan: "..."
The anti-terrorism exercise began, and both sides were very excited.
Three shabby vans drove over quickly and stopped on the rubber track with a clang. The smoke bombs got off the vans before the terrorists. The red and blue smoke quickly spread out, blocking people's vision.
Shen Baili smiled brightly: "Guys, it's our turn to go out."
The smoke grew thicker and thicker.
A pair of black boots first appeared in everyone's sight. Shen Baili strode forward, the laces on his camouflage work pants moved slightly, and the gun fixed on the waist straps was faintly visible.
As Shen Baili approached, her whole body was exposed to the air. A black sleeveless high-necked vest tightly wrapped around her upper body, revealing only her tight and elastic arms. Her muscular lines were clearly visible. She had a black high ponytail combed behind her head, and she wore a black and white evil clown mask on her face. She held a gun in one hand and a red smoke bomb in the other hand, which was wrapped in blood-red gauze. She walked forward swaggeringly, her arm muscles bulging.
With Shen Baili as the center, the terrorists marched at the same arrogant pace. The frail doctor wore a bloodstained white coat and his face was covered with a fluffy white rabbit killer mask. He had the weakest combat power but full intelligence, which he demonstrated to the fullest in the ensuing confrontation.
Under the black wolf hood mask is a dark-skinned gym student, nearly 1.9 meters tall, with bulging muscles, and he swings a baseball bat high in the air.
Green salted fish head, abstract emoticon head cover, pig head mask, etc. The terrorists have different preferences, and the masks they choose are cooler than each other.
Everyone in the terrorist team was very excited. A large group of people marched out without recognizing any relatives, and their aura was so strong that it was terrifying.
On the surface, they put on masks.
In effect, they took off their masks.
Each one of them was more excited and perverted than the other. Their fighting power was too strong and they were going crazy with killing!
After a short while, a large number of opponents fell.
"Hey, hey, you're dead."
Lion Head defeated another opponent, then was pinned to the ground by Meng Jiuan, and the white ribbon on his arm turned blue.
"You're dead too."
Meng Jiuan stood up and looked for his next target.
Shen Baili shuttled through the chaotic "battlefield", turned around and kicked down the man who was attacking her, aimed a gun at the white strap, and a red color spread out.
After defeating one enemy, Shen Baili saw Lu Mingqian fighting with Meng Jiuan not far away. The two were fighting back and forth, and it was difficult to tell who was winning for a while.
Shen Baili raised her hand, took aim, and hit the target with one strike.
Meng Jiuan, eliminated.
Lu Mingqian patted Meng Jiuan's arm and said, "Brother, go with peace of mind."
After Lu Mingqian said goodbye to his good brother, he came to Shen Baili's side and said, "Thank you, Boss."
"You're welcome." Shen Baili curled the corners of her lips, and the two continued fighting.
Meng Jiuan looked at their figures walking side by side, gritting his teeth and saying, "I will not die with my eyes closed!"
"Goddess, kill me."
"The ugly mask is too strong."
"Wow, the doctor is so handsome!"
"It feels like evil is winning!"
"The guy in the camouflage uniform is so charming."
…
Due to limited time, the anti-terrorism exercise did not result in a winner. In such a grand and formal occasion, the freshmen had a lot of fun and did not bring shame to the school.
"The students are very energetic." The military representative smiled happily.
Principal: "Full of energy."
"The future is in the hands of young people."
…
"The Business School is the first prize, great!"
"We are so strong!"
"Three credits for the first formation, two credits for the second formation, one credit for the first formation and the logistics team, and two credits for the pacesetter."
Shen Baili was happy: "School hasn't officially started yet, but I already have five credits."
"Shen Baili, you are so handsome! Cool and strong!" Bi Yan did not hide his admiration: "Your arms are so strong, I am fascinated by you."
It is human nature to admire the strong.
Jiang Zhu secretly observed Shen Baili's hands and felt itchy.
"Can I touch your arms?" Bi Yan asked, "Your muscles are so beautiful."
Shen Baili stretched out her hand and said generously, "Sure."
Jiang Zhu's heart moved slightly: "I want to touch it too."
Brave people enjoy the world first.
"I won't let you suffer any loss, I'll let you touch mine too!"
Shen Baili smiled and said, "It's okay, go ahead and touch it."
Zhu Peng joined the team silently.
The four of them chatted and laughed as they walked towards the dormitory.
"Finally I can go home."
"The National Day holiday lasts for seven days. I want to rest well at home." Jiang Zhu looked forward to the end of military training every day.
"Zhu Peng, are you going home?" Bi Yan asked.
Zhu Peng: "My home is too far from Beijing. I won't go back."
The round-trip fare was too expensive and Zhu Peng was reluctant to spend it.
"Okay." Bi Yan nodded.
"Bai Li, are you going home?" Zhu Peng looked at Shen Bai Li.
Shen Baili: "My flight today."
She couldn't wait to go home.
Shen Baili squinted her eyes, saw a familiar figure not far away, and said something to her roommates.
"You guys go back to the dormitory first. I saw my elder brother."
After Shen Baili finished speaking, she trotted towards Xie Zhiyu, not forgetting to put on her ugly mask.
Hehehe, she wants to give big brother a surprise!
Shen Baili walked around behind her eldest brother and stretched out her hand to pat his shoulder.
Xie Zhiyu suddenly turned around, and both of them were stunned for a moment. Shen Baili's hand, which was half suspended in the air, turned in a different direction and waved in her ear: "Hi!"
Xie Zhiyu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Sui Sui?"
"Brother, how did you recognize me?"
Shen Baili took off her mask, and her bright face was filled with confusion.
Her attire was completely different from usual, she was wearing a mask and her voice was deliberately made deeper when she greeted him!
Xie Zhiyu raised his lips slightly: "I guessed it."
Shen Baili didn't dwell on this question: "Brother, am I handsome?"
She couldn't help but show off her biceps.
Xie Zhiyu nodded: "The arm muscles are strong and the new shape is also cool."
"Like a female warrior."
Shen Baili smiled and said, "I think so too."
"Brother looks super handsome today too."
She is generous with her praise.
Xie Zhiyu had three consecutive meetings today. After they ended, he rushed directly from the branch office to the school to pick her up and take her home.
He didn't have time to change his clothes, so he only took off his suit jacket. The simplest white shirt made him look handsome in a different way.
A good-looking person looks handsome even when wearing a sack.
People were coming and going around, and their eyes would always glance over here from time to time.
"Brother, I'll go upstairs to get the luggage, and then we'll set off." Shen Baili did not delay.
"I don't have much luggage, please wait for me downstairs."
Xie Zhiyu nodded: "Okay."
Shen Baili ran upstairs quickly with brisk steps.
Xie Zhiyu watched her go upstairs, ignoring the inquiring looks from those around him.
…
On the way from school to the airport, Shen Baili and Xie Zhiyu chatted all the way. Most of the time, Shen Baili was talking and Xie Zhiyu listened attentively.
Xie Zhiyu learned from the conversation that Shen Baili's campus life was pretty good.
By the time they got on the plane, Shen Baili was so exhausted that she fell asleep while talking.
Xie Zhiyu asked the flight attendant for two blankets, covered Shen Baili with one and covered himself with the other, then slowly closed his eyes.
Shen Baili was unconscious, her consciousness was sinking, and she found the deep buried memories.
【Eighteen years old is a turning point in Zhou Yu’s life.】
【She was abducted.】
[That day was the college entrance examination.]
The girl stretched out her hand and asked for help, saying that she was in a hurry to get to the college entrance examination and would be late soon, but the road was blocked by a big dog and she didn't dare to go through, so she wanted Zhou Yu to help her drive the dog away...
Zhou Yu had lived alone for three years and she was very wary, so she became suspicious.
But... this is the college entrance examination, an opportunity to go to college.
Zhou Yu softened his heart once, and then he was deceived.
The girl is a stooge, and there is indeed a "bad dog" in the alley.
...When she woke up again, Zhou Yu was on the way to be sold. She pretended to be well-behaved and gained the trust of the trafficker. She escaped and helped the police destroy the trafficker's lair and catch the wanted criminal.
After suffering a great loss, Zhou Yu no longer trusted anyone.
A blessing in disguise.
The first funding for her business came from a bonus from the police department.
Shen Baili couldn't wake up, and her memories continued.
[Zhou Yu worked at a clothing wholesale stall for half a year. The bonus plus the saved salary was enough for her to start her own business.
She wholesaled some accessories and basic short-sleeve shirts and set up a stall at the entrance of the school, ready to test the waters first...
But starting a business is not that easy. Her stall business was good at first, but when life is getting better, bad luck often comes...
It was always like this, and there were so many bad things that Zhou Yu sometimes even suspected that he was a disaster star.
Society is the most cruel "school". She suffered a lot and suffered a lot... She was driven away by other vendors, beaten black and blue, robbed by gangsters, and almost raped...
Zhou Yu's growth is visible to the naked eye. She has changed from a taciturn person to a talkative one, and from a good-tempered person who accepts everything that happens to her to a wolf...
At the age of 22, Zhou Yu gritted her teeth and opened her first clothing store. The business was good and she met reliable partners. In seven years, their clothing store expanded from one to ten branches... She went from being a beggar picking up garbage to becoming a boss.
Zhou Yu paid in full for a small house of less than 30 square meters, but it accommodated her soul.
Not being able to go to school has always been her regret.
Over the years, Zhou Yu has sponsored many girls from poor families. The girls have worked hard and have flown out of the mountains like birds...
Zhou Yu is very satisfied with her current life. She will not get married or have children. She plans to raise a kitten...
She tried to heal herself, but misfortune struck again.
Zhou's father and mother came to the house and brought reporters with them. 】
[…Zhou Yu’s peaceful life was turned upside down, and she was filled with despair. It turned out that she had never escaped from that swamp…]
don't want!
Wake up!!
Shen Baili felt like she was about to suffocate, and her ability to endure was reaching its limit.
"Yuesui, yuesui."
Who is it? Who is Sui Sui?
Shen Baili suddenly opened her eyes and met eyes full of concern, and her cheeks felt cold.
She reached out and touched her face; it was tears.
"Brother, I had a nightmare."
Shen Baili's voice was hoarse, and Xie Zhiyu rubbed the top of her head. His soft and low voice seemed to have a soothing effect.
"Don't be afraid, Big Brother is here."
"Nightmares and reality are opposites."
Shen Baili wrapped herself in a blanket: "Well, they are all opposite."
It's all in the past.
Shen Baili's brain was overloaded with memories, and she felt a dense pain like being pricked by needles.
She drank a cup of tranquilizer, leaned on Xie Zhiyu's shoulder, and gradually fell asleep.
I slept very soundly this time and did not have any dreams.
…
When the plane arrived in Haicheng, Shen Baili woke up slowly and the pain in her head was gone.
She regained her vitality.
"Brother, let's go home!"
Xie Zhiyu: "Does your head still hurt?"
Shen Baili: "It doesn't hurt, I'm just a little hungry."
"Let's go home for dinner. It's been a while since I've had Chef Wang's beef stew with potatoes."
"Okay, let's go home and have stewed beef with potatoes." Xie Zhiyu followed her words and continued, "There are also your favorite steamed pork ribs with rice flour and stir-fried pork with peppers..."
…
"Mom, I'm back!!!"
Shen Baili's voice arrived before she did, and it was full of energy.
Shen Wan was waiting at home early. She walked quickly to the door and was hugged by Shen Baili.
"Mom, I miss you so much!"
Shen Wan touched her spine and said, "You've lost weight."
"You've been on the plane for so long, are you hungry?"
"Dinner is ready, we're waiting for you."
"Okay." Shen Baili was infinitely attached.
Afterwards, Shen Baili became her mother's personal pendant and always stayed by her side.
Shen Wan felt sorry for her so she let her be sticky and never forgot to feed her all kinds of delicious food.
Xie Zhiyu noticed that Shen Baili's mood had improved, so he put his worries aside for the time being.
"Mom, where are my aunt and the others?" Shen Baili pouted, finally remembering the whereabouts of the others.
"Your Uncle Xie and Xiao Zheng are visiting the elders. Your second brother has a temporary notice. They should be back tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Shen Baili: "Oh oh oh."
"Mom, I'm going to sleep with you tonight!" Shen Baili acted coquettishly.
…
The sunlight shone into the house. Shen Baili slept until she woke up naturally. She reached out her hand but found nothing.
"mother?"
Shen Baili glanced at her cell phone. Oh boy, she slept until ten o'clock.
Just blink your eyes and you’re up!
Shen Baili quickly washed up and went downstairs in her pajamas: "Mom?"
She walked all the way to the living room, where her mother and eldest brother were. Besides them, there was a strange middle-aged couple.
Shen Baili tried to match the information about wealthy families in her mind, but failed.
Who are they?
As Shen Baili concentrated, she felt that the woman's features seemed familiar. The woman was very beautiful, with that kind of cold and aggressive beauty.
Xie Tingsi rushed home after the event. He remembered that Xiao Lihua was back during the National Day holiday.
He walked in at a brisk pace and spotted Shen Baili standing there: "Sui Sui, are you playing the role of door god here?"
Xie Tingsi grabbed her with his big hand and rubbed her head: "You've become thinner and darker."
Shen Baili remembered who the woman looked like.
The woman's eyebrows and features were exactly the same as Xie Tingsi's, and her peach blossom eyes were sparkling.
"What's wrong?" Xie Tingsi belatedly realized the subtle atmosphere in the living room. He followed Shen Baili's line of sight and met her similar pair of peach blossom eyes.
"Oh, what a rare guest." Xie Tingsi raised his eyebrow.
"Listen, long time no see." Guo Yan sat upright on the sofa, relaxed.
Xie Tingsi's irritating attitude actually made her feel at ease. His emotional excitement showed that he cared.
"Mom misses you so much."
Guo Yan knew how to deal with Xie Tingsi. Her second son would only respond to soft tactics and not hard ones.
However, she seemed to have forgotten that Xie Tingsi was no longer the boy he once was.
Xie Tingsi's throat rolled slightly: "Oh, I don't believe it."
He could not forget the time when he was fifteen, traveling alone across the ocean, hoping to find his mother, but was eventually driven back home...
"Listen, Mom is glad you can come to see me. I am very happy now."
"You should go back to your father."
"Go home and let mom know you're safe."
"Don't come here alone in the future. It's not safe."
Xie Tingsi only remembered that the winter in Country M was very cold, and the biting wind tore apart the boy's joy.
They haven't seen each other for ten years.
Guo Yan frowned slightly, especially in front of Shen Wan. She lowered her eyes and said, "I came here specially to see you. If you don't welcome me, I will leave."
After Guo Yan finished speaking, she stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Song Xi beside her.
He gently patted the back of Guo Yan's hand to comfort her and explained, "Your mother has always been concerned about your growth. She has watched your movies many times and always praises your acting skills to everyone she meets."
Xie Tingsi's brows relaxed, and although he didn't say anything, he sat down in the corner of the sofa.
Xie Zhiyu handed the cup to Guo Yan and said politely: "Thank you for coming to see us. Next time, we can ask the driver to pick you up at the airport in advance."
"Didn't Song Tianci return to China with you?"
With just a few simple words, Xie Zhiyu not only took the initiative into his own hands, but also exposed Guo Yan's lies.
Guo Yan and Song Xi's biological son, and Xie Zhiyu and Xie Tingsi's half-brother.
"Why don't you bring your God-given baby over to play?" Xie Tingsi said sarcastically, "Why? Are you afraid that I will beat him up again?"
Guo Yan looked sullen, she was angry.
Song Xi and Xie Chengyue are two extremes. He is gentle and tolerant, and seems not to notice Xie Tingsi's hostility: "Tianci is not feeling well, stay at home and rest."
"Your mother misses you very much and wants to see you as soon as possible."
Song Xi's words had hidden meanings. Not only did he explain why Song Tianci did not come, he also emphasized Guo Yan's concern for them and the reason why she did not inform them in advance.
After his explanation, Guo Yan's discomfort caused by Xie Zhiyu's words was instantly relieved.
Xie Tingsi didn't believe it. If he really missed her, why didn't they contact each other for ten years? But he didn't argue with her anymore and just kept silent.
Guo Yan sat for a while longer and couldn't help but say, "Next month is your grandmother's birthday, remember to attend."
Xie Zhiyu and Xie Tingsi, the two children she neglected, were indeed her strength.
Xie Tingsi understood: "Goodbye."
I can't tell whether I'm disappointed or angry.
Song Xi and Guo Yan stood up to say goodbye. They had no hostility towards Shen Wan and her daughter and gave them enough face.
Xie Tingsi saw them off. Before getting in the car, Guo Yan called her eldest son and looked at his cold and handsome face: "Zhiyu, you did a great job."
In just three years, Xie Zhiyu has become the leader of the Xie family and has enormous power.
When Guo Yan returned to the Guo family this time, she clearly felt a different atmosphere. She understood that most of the reasons were caused by Xie Zhiyu.
Over the years, Guo Yan has matured a lot.
"In the blink of an eye, you have all reached the age to start a family and build a career." Guo Yan sighed, feeling a rare motherly love.
Xie Zhiyu did not answer the call, but just opened the car door: "I'm not just listening."
He had no expectations of Guo Yan.
"Don't worry, we will be there on time for the birthday banquet next month." Xie Zhiyu saw the purpose of Guo Yan's visit at a glance.
The warmth on Guo Yan's face faded, and she stared at him for a few seconds: "You are exactly the same as Xie Chengyue."
She found them disgusting.
"Be careful on the road." Xie Zhiyu remained expressionless.
Song Xi said goodbye to him with a smile.
The luxury car gradually moved away until it disappeared from sight, and then Xie Zhiyu turned around and left.
…
Inside the luxury car, Guo Yan was angry.
"If it weren't for me, would Xie Zhiyu have been able to take over the Xie family so quickly?"
"All of them with the surname Xie are of the same character."
Guo Yan said whatever she wanted to say in front of Song Xi: "If it weren't for the pressure from me and the Guo family, Xie Chengyue would have been dazzled by that woman and would have definitely gotten a marriage certificate with her..."
She realized she had said something wrong and stopped talking abruptly: "In short, the things of the Xie family can only belong to Xie Zhiyu and Xie Tingsi."
…
Xie's house, bedroom.
Shen Baili found an agreement signed by Shen Wan and Xie Chengyue. The content of the agreement was very simple.
As Xie Chengyue's girlfriend, Shen Wan moved into Xie's home with her daughter, but they would not get married.
The agreement stipulates the responsibilities and obligations of the two parties, as well as the donation of property. Even if they separate, Shen Wan will receive the huge amount of property donated by Xie Chengyue.
They didn't get a marriage certificate, and Shen Baili's mind was in a mess.
