"Achoo!"
Chen Zhe sneezed loudly.
He touched his nose and then looked towards Hu Ling's room.
Hu Ling hasn't come back for two days. She doesn't answer my calls, and when I call the people at the club, they say she's not there either.
[What's going on? Is she going to disappear again?]
Chen Zhe couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
He returned to his room and recalled the words Xie Laodao had spoken to him when he left Qingyun Mountain.
[You have the Qilin destiny, destined to have benefactors to help you and turn misfortune into good fortune. However, don't be too complacent. Although the Qilin destiny is rare, there are always people more powerful than you. The person who attacked you and your family is not a simple person either; their destiny is more domineering than yours, and they are the type to hold grudges. You should never provoke them unless absolutely necessary. If you really can't avoid it, don't confront them directly. Remember one thing: everything has its counterpart. You can find someone with the Azure Dragon destiny. The Azure Dragon destiny carries inherent nobility, and people with the Azure Dragon destiny are extremely noble. If you can have this person help you, then everything will be fine.]
[Auspicious purple clouds rise from the east, azure dragons illuminate the learning platform.]
Regarding people with the Azure Dragon destiny, Master Xie left Chen Zhe with these two lines of poetry.
Before Chen Zhe could figure it out, Xie Laodao kicked him out.
"The Qilin and Azure Dragon are auspicious beasts, and people with the same destiny will naturally attract each other. You will understand when you meet that person."
...
Chen Zhe was in his apartment, constantly thinking about how to find this person.
Just then, a phone call came in.
It was the president of Tunghai University who called.
"Chen Zhe, you haven't been to school for a long time, but I can understand that. I saw you on the news. You must be very busy. I'm calling you today because your class is graduating soon. If you have time, you can come and attend the graduation ceremony."
Chen Zhe was slightly stunned, then a sudden inspiration struck him.
"Auspicious purple clouds rise from the east, azure dragon illuminates the learning platform!!! Could it be Donghai University?? That person is at Donghai University! Yes, it must be!!"
Chen Zhe muttered to himself, leaving the principal somewhat bewildered.
"Chen Zhe, what are you talking about? Is it convenient for you to come over? If it's not convenient for you to come over, I can send you my graduation certificate."
"Convenient! When is the graduation ceremony?"
"It'll be tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you, Principal."
"No need, no need. You are a friend of School Director Luo, so this is only right. Just let me know when you arrive."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Zhe called Luo Guifang again.
Luo Guifang suggested that he go to Tunghai University. He wanted to please Luo Guifang and leave a good impression on her, so he went for a few days.
I didn't expect the principal to be so accommodating. He actually thought of issuing me a graduation certificate even though I haven't been there for more than half a year. He was willing to give me this favor because of Luo Guifang. It was only right for me to call her and let her know.
Upon hearing this news, Luo Guifang couldn't help but exclaim, "So you finally remembered you're still a student? Heh, go ahead, it'll be good to get a diploma."
"Thank you, Sister Luo. I'll come visit you another day."
"Okay, we'll talk about it later. I'm busy, I'll hang up now."
"good!"
...
Graduation season at Tunghai University.
The campus was bustling with activity that day, as many graduating students took beautiful photos in their chosen outfits and bid each other a heartfelt farewell.
Chen Zhe felt a little embarrassed. He had only been here for a few days and hadn't learned anything at all. Because of his connections, he didn't even have to write a thesis and could get a graduation certificate.
If I told anyone, those college students might beat me to death.
Chen Zhe strolled around the campus, his eyes unable to resist looking around.
He saw a large crowd gathered in the distance.
It was noisy there, as if something had happened.
Chen Zhe walked over.
Then I saw a beautiful girl in a dress standing in an open space in front of me, surrounded by a circle.
A handsome young man was kneeling in front of her.
He was holding a large bouquet of roses.
His words were somewhat agitated.
"Yanran, what did I do wrong? I bought all 999 roses you wanted. I only asked about your schedule yesterday, why are you still angry? Why did you bring up breaking up with me?"
The girl's eyes showed some annoyance; "Tang Zihao, can you stop doing this all the time? Don't you know it makes me feel embarrassed?"
Liu Yanran tried to leave several times, but Tang Zihao blocked her way.
"Yanran, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring this up in front of so many people, but you keep avoiding me. Yanran, I just want to know what I did wrong? Can we not break up?"
Liu Yanran rolled her eyes again.
"You're too controlling. You're suffocating me. I just went out to dinner with someone yesterday, and you kept calling me. What do you want? Isn't there any trust between people?"
"Yanran, I was wrong. I won't do it again. Please give me another chance, okay? I didn't mean it. I just wanted you to spend some time with me."
Tang Zihao's tone was humble; he was trying his best to win back his girlfriend.
The students watching nearby were all whispering among themselves.
[Haha, I told you they'd break up, but you wouldn't believe me. Now you see?]
[That Tang Zihao is really something. He's clearly not good enough for the school beauty Liu Yanran, yet he insists on clinging to her. He's really ungrateful.]
...
Most of the boys looked down on Tang Zihao.
However, girls seem to be a little different.
[Tang Zihao is being too pathetic. He's rich and handsome, why does he have to be Liu Yanran's lapdog?]
[I also think he had no reason to do such a thing. I heard from Liu Yanran's roommate yesterday that Liu Yanran went on a date with another guy, apparently her internship supervisor.]
[No way? She cheated on me?]
[Who knows? Maybe Liu Yanran was never a docile person to begin with. Honestly, if I were Tang Zihao, I would definitely break up with Liu Yanran without hesitation. That woman is so ungrateful.]
...
Hearing these gossips and seeing the humble boy in front of him, Chen Zhe suddenly felt a sense of empathy.
Yes, he thought of Xu Weiwei.
The woman who caused him so much pain.
"Heh! Accompany you? Tang Zihao, can you stop being so domineering? Why do I have to accompany you? Just because I spent your money, does that mean I have to accompany you? Are you trying to use money to pressure me? Are you like other men? After breaking up, you just want your money back, right?"
Tang Zihao quickly shook his head.
"No, no, Yanran, I didn't mean that. I spent all the money I gave you willingly, and I never thought about getting it back. You know I'm not that kind of person."
"Since that's not the case, stop bothering me. Let's part amicably and not make things so ugly. It's better for both of us."
Tang Zihao looked like he was in pain.
"Yanran, why do you insist on breaking up with me? Have you fallen for someone else?"
"Look! You're slandering me again. What evidence do you have?"
"I...I have no evidence, but it's just my intuition, because I called you all night yesterday and you didn't answer, and then you turned off your phone."
"Tang Zihao! Please stop slandering me. I turned off my phone because it ran out of battery. Forget it, I don't want to argue with you anymore. I'm exhausted. I've been writing my thesis lately and it's giving me a headache. Today is graduation day, and I hope you won't bother me with this kind of thing anymore. Let's part ways amicably and still be friends when we meet again."
"But Yanran, I don't want to be friends with you, I only want to be your boyfriend..."
"Stop crying! You have no manly spirit at all. I'm speechless. How could I have ever fallen for you?"
Liu Yanran turned and left angrily, and no matter how Tang Zihao tried to stop her, he couldn't.
The onlookers burst into laughter. They'd seen graduation breakup scenes many times before, so they seemed to be used to it.
After everyone left, Tang Zihao sat on the ground, looking completely drained of energy, his eyes vacant as he stared at the sky.
Chen Zhe walked over at this moment.
I sat down next to him and offered him a cigarette.
Tang Zihao glanced at Chen Zhe.
He hesitated for a moment, then took the cigarette; "Thank you."
Would you like a drink?
Chen Zhe asked.
Tang Zihao looked at him with some confusion. He originally wanted to refuse because the person in front of him was a stranger, but he was in a lot of pain at the moment, and having a drink would be good.
He nodded in agreement.
The two went to the school's restaurant.
Chen Zhe ordered a dozen beers.
He poured a glass for Tang Zihao, and then poured one for himself.
He didn't say anything to comfort him, but instead drank a glass of wine first.
Seeing that he had finished his drink, Tang Zihao also picked up his glass and downed it in one gulp. Men get to know each other quickly, and after a few drinks, Chen Zhe learned about Tang Zihao's story with his girlfriend, Liu Yanran.
Tang Zihao wasn't a native of Donghai; he came from Beijing. When he was a junior in college, he got together with Liu Yanran. At first, Liu Yanran had a good feeling about him, but gradually, Tang Zihao found himself becoming more and more humble.
Liu Yanran became increasingly dismissive of him.
Tang Zihao drank a glass of wine and then lit a cigarette. "Brother Chen, why do you think I'm leaving? I've been so good to her. I've given her money, taken her on trips, and bought her whatever she wanted. I even bought her an apartment near the school when she suggested it. I don't drink or smoke, and I don't even look at other girls who approach me. I only love her. I've done all that, so why is she leaving me?"
Chen Zhe drank another glass with him before slowly saying, "Brother, try to think more positively. I was much worse off than you when I was heartbroken."
"Hmm? You have a story?"
Hearing that the other person was in a worse situation than him, Tang Zihao seemed to feel a little better, and his curiosity was piqued.
