In the previous life, it was college graduation season.
College is different from high school. After adulthood, the ivory tower offers relative freedom. How you spend these years? Will your relationship with your classmates be like strangers for four years, or like brothers and sisters? Whether you pursue further studies or leave after graduation all depends on your life plans and choices.
Students will be at a loss, but the sadness and sadness that accompany separation are much lighter than those in junior high and high school.
After all, collective life is no longer as rich and close as before, and after crossing the threshold of adulthood, their lives seem to have undergone earth-shaking changes. The world is no longer so simple and relatively friendly, but becomes incomprehensible and unfathomable. When the world no longer has good intentions, emotions will also become conservative.
Of course, this varies from person to person. There are many people who cry their eyes out because of separation, but Wang Jinling is obviously not one of them.
Just like in high school, her grades in professional courses were excellent, but she had no plans to continue her studies, nor did she join the student union or any clubs. Although she would participate in activities and did not avoid interpersonal relationships, she was visibly distant from everyone. Her carefully fabricated smile had rejected countless people. Few people knew the real her, let alone saw her sad because of parting with someone.
However, that's just something most people don't have the chance to see.
Wang Jinling was standing downstairs of the boys' dormitory, wearing a pure white dress, like a blooming white lotus, quite eye-catching. No one knew which lucky guy she was waiting for, and no one knew which daring bastard dared to make the goddess wait for ten minutes.
Ten minutes later, a man wearing flip-flops, a shirt washed to a pale white, a T-shirt that was as loose as an apron shirt, and a pair of shorts walked out of the dormitory, looking sloppy.
Although dressing like this in the men's dormitory area is not a big problem that affects the city's appearance, the problem is that this man actually dared to dress like this and swaggered towards Wang Jinling who was waiting there, his flip-flops making a clacking sound, looking frank and generous, with a strong sense of shamelessness.
So everyone showed a sympathetic and anticipatory smile. Wang Jinling in college had a much more aggressive temperament and style of doing things than in high school. They were all waiting for this overconfident brother to run back to the dormitory crying.
Then they saw Wang Jinling take the man's arm, slowly leave, and stroll across the campus.
The two of them walked in silence all the way, feeling comfortable and relaxed, just like they were back in high school when they were not as far apart from each other as they are now.
Wang Jinling graduated from Haiyi Middle School a year earlier and entered university a year earlier. Chen Tinghan graduated a year later, but he kept his promise and followed her, was admitted to the same university, and continued to be her junior. Unfortunately, the friendship that originated in high school eventually changed.
He came to this city for Wang Jinling for many complicated reasons. Too many things have happened over the years, which cannot be explained in a few words, but the relationship between the two has always remained ambiguous, neither advancing nor retreating, and neither hot nor cold. From the shocked expressions of passers-by, it can be seen that not many people knew that Chen Tinghan knew Wang Jinling over the years, let alone that Wang Jinling was so close to him.
After walking for a long time, perhaps because he was tired, Chen Tinghan ignored the opinions of the people around him and turned into a small road and walked into the school's second cafeteria.
Wang Jinling just smiled and let him do as he pleased.
During non-mealtime hours, there are not many people in the cafeteria, and only the windows selling barbecue rice and pork trotter rice are open. You can just buy a meal and sit there to enjoy it.
As he ate, Wang Jinling leaned against his cheek, staring at him with tenderness in her eyes. They chatted casually when Wang Jinling suddenly asked, "Would you consider getting your hair cut?"
"Not considering it." Chen Tinghan stuffed his mouth with food and muttered, "It's easy to cause trouble. It's troublesome."
"That's right." Wang Jinling smiled and said, "This way I can rest assured. I don't have to worry about some girl taking advantage of me after I graduate."
This was almost an explicit flirtation, but Chen Tinghan remained indifferent and continued to eat his meal. Wang Jinling also said to herself, "I could actually find some excuse to delay graduation for a year and go back to Wanghai with you. Unfortunately, I really can't help myself in my current position."
Chen Tinghan suddenly looked up at her and said with a half-smile, "Lord Wang Jinling, you are so proud of yourself."
Wang Jinling swallowed the sarcasm, remaining indifferent. She said calmly, "The family business has reached a critical stage. It's simply impossible to continue relying on the people under me. After all, there are too few people like Shi Zirui, so I have no choice but to step in and supervise it myself.
You see, although I seem to have everything, I actually have no one to turn to. The Wang family, which I have supported alone, is ultimately a solitary vessel. I need help, and from the beginning to the end, the one I love and want most is you."
"So even though you rejected me three years ago, I still want to solemnly invite you again to work for me."
Chen Tinghan didn't say anything, just sneered and shook his head in contempt.
"All the promises I made three years ago are still valid today. You're no doubt aware that those were incredibly generous offers, making it difficult to negotiate further. However, this time, I'm willing to make a concession," Wang Jinling said. "If you work for me, I promise that You Shenyu will be free."
Chen Tinghan's eyes narrowed suddenly.
"Trade your freedom for hers. It's a very fair deal." Wang Jinling crossed her legs and said, "I'm tired of this endless confrontation and game between us. You must know that the reason you've survived safely until now isn't entirely due to your amazing talent, but also because of my feelings for you, my... compassion for you."
"I know what you've been busy with these past few years. Generally speaking, you've been allying with many of the Wang family's enemies while also teaming up with the larger families, trying to find some weaknesses in me."
Chen Tinghan sighed and said, "Yes, it's a pity that the Wang family's gecko cut off its tail faster than I thought. You almost gave away 60% of the family fortune that Wang Kai had accumulated over the years, and the wound is still bleeding."
Wang Jinling said, "On a micro level, you're reading, studying, and even exercising. For several years, you've been learning martial arts from that Lin family bodyguard, just to make your own strength seem less meager. How pathetic.
That's just futile. You can't win me. On the contrary, if you accept me, you can easily get everything you want, except the freedom to be unfaithful to me."
"Those you love and value will no longer be threatened by me. Not only You Shenyu, but also the girl you have been secretly in contact with."
