Volume 1, Chapter 134 They all still have infinite glory and a long future ahead of them.
With the arrival of September, the bell of the new semester rings again, and a new batch of new students report to campus.
Shi Rui, Meng Senyang and Chu Cong all joined the student union in their freshman year and were required to participate in the freshman orientation task.
Although he is a sophomore, he is actually free labor. Every day he either introduces the campus to his juniors or helps people carry heavy luggage. It is as if he has returned to the military training time of his freshman year, being outside in the wind and sun every day, and his skin color has become darker.
Near noon, after Shi Rui helped a girl deliver her luggage, the girl asked very friendly: "Senior, can I add you on WeChat? If I have any questions in school in the future, I can still ask you for help."
Shi Rui smiled and declined, "If you don't understand something, just go to the campus forum and ask. There are many enthusiastic classmates who will help you. I won't add her on WeChat, so as not to upset my girlfriend."
The girl responded readily: "Okay, then I won't bother you anymore."
Shi Rui went downstairs and met Meng Senyang and Chu Cong. The three of them went to the library to find Xu Jingmo.
Shi Rui said, "Being a senior brings a lot of aura. I can't even count how many people have added me on WeChat these past few days. Why didn't so many people add me on WeChat last year when I wanted to fall in love?"
Chu Cong complained: "Even if I added you, what's the point of you really talking about it? I remember that our class secretary confessed to you two months after the start of the school year, and you rejected her, didn't you?"
Shi Rui said with reason: "My not talking is not the same as whether someone asks me for WeChat. At least it proves that I still have a certain charm. Even under the halo of the second brother, people can still see me."
Chu Cong was too lazy to pay attention to him and said, "Since returning from summer vacation, my second brother seems to have become even more arrogant. He has been neglecting his sleep and food."
Shi Rui sighed, "Alas... it's really hard to like someone like my younger sister. Look at my second brother now, he's living like a college entrance exam candidate. I didn't work as hard as he does when I was a senior in high school."
Meng Senyang suddenly said: "This is luck, not hard work."
"Ah?" Shi Rui was puzzled. "He doesn't even have any free time on Saturdays and Sundays now. Isn't it hard?"
Meng Senyang asked him, "Don't you know that college is the real watershed in life? Think about your high school classmates. It's been more than a year since you graduated. How many of you are still in touch with each other? You are in different majors and different fields, and you will only go further and further apart in the future."
"Look at your second brother, can't you see that? In high school, everyone only cares about grades. Occasionally, there are some people whose families are rich, but other than that, they don't seem to think there's anything special or different about them."
"Now that I'm in college, in addition to grades, I also see family background and connections. Why is it that among so many wealthy students, only my second brother can enjoy special privileges in front of the principal? Why can the school cafeteria's problems that have existed for so many years be solved by my second brother's appearance? We ordinary people are lucky to be able to meet people of the status of my second brother and sister, because this is a cross-class friendship. After entering society, it is difficult for us to meet such people again. Even if we do, we will not believe that we can become friends with each other."
"For the second brother, it is also lucky to be able to fall in love with someone like my sister, because it will make him an even more outstanding person in his class."
Chu Cong nodded in agreement: "Yes, the old family is a lawyer, which means they are actually middle class. My parents, for example, run a restaurant. In my hometown, they are not as rich as the rich, but they are better than the poor. They feel quite content. Our family has produced such a top student like me, which is a great honor for the ancestors. They don't expect anything higher from me."
"I used to think I was pretty good, but now seeing my second brother studying so hard, I'm both envious and anxious. I envy him for having a goal, but I don't even have one. Should I take the postgraduate entrance exam, take the civil service exam, or just get a job?"
"A year just passed by in a daze. When I went home for the summer vacation, my family asked me about my campus life. Thinking about it carefully, I seemed to have gained nothing, unlike my third brother, who at least met someone he wanted to date."
Meng Senyang sighed and said, "Yeah, I have the same idea as you. I think we should set a goal for ourselves and think about what kind of person we want to be in the future."
"Third brother, especially you, since you are in love now, you should also seriously consider what kind of future you will give to the girl, right?"
Shi Rui was stunned for a few seconds. In their boys' dormitory, they never talked about these long-winded principles. The daily topics were just casual chats about eating, drinking and having fun. At best, they would discuss some serious matters while doing their homework.
Now that Xu Jingmo is missing from the team that's always eating, drinking and having fun, they're already a little uncomfortable. Unexpectedly, the two of them actually start to think seriously about life.
Shi Rui asked: "Why have all of you suddenly changed so much?"
Chu Cong said: "It's not a big change, but I feel a little anxious when I see people around me who are better than me working harder than me."
Shi Rui: "I'm not worried. My second brother is excellent, and that's what he deserves. Just like he's in love with his sister, that's what he deserves."
Chu Cong: "It's great to be open-minded. I can't do that. We all go to the same school and even the same dormitory. We won't drift apart. I'm going to the library with my second brother tomorrow to practice questions. Why do I need to take the postgraduate entrance examination if I can get a guaranteed place in graduate school? Why do I need to ask my family for living expenses if I can get a scholarship? It's good to save some money for romance."
Meng Senyang: "I'll go too."
Shi Rui shook his head and said, "No, are you guys just abandoning me like this? If you all go, then I'll go too."
Chu Cong complained: "Don't be too restless to sit still, or you'll disturb our studies."
Shi Rui grabbed his neck and snorted, "Who are you looking down on? After all, I got 690 points in the college entrance examination. Let's see who can get the scholarship and who can treat us to a seafood buffet at the end of the semester. The last time my second brother treated us to that restaurant, it was of that level."
Chu Cong smiled and said, "Let's compete. Will the boss participate?"
Meng Senyang smiled and replied, "Of course."
Shi Rui sighed, "When I go home again, I will definitely go back to my high school alma mater and find my head teacher to question him loudly, saying that after the college entrance examination, you will be able to go to college and be completely free. Bullshit, the people in college are even more arrogant! They are all cabbages!"
Meng Senyang and Chu Cong smiled at each other, "Our high school teacher said the same thing. It's all lies!"
Shi Rui: "Look at me, the King of Rolls, rising. I will get up at 5:00 tomorrow morning!"
Chu Cong: "I can't get up to buy breakfast for everyone."
Meng Senyang: "I want tofu pudding and fried dough sticks, thank you."
Chu Cong: "I want some sauce pancakes."
Shi Rui: "Hey, I have a bad temper. I won't buy it. I will definitely get up tomorrow! If I get up, you guys can buy me breakfast!"
The three of them walked towards the library, chatting and laughing, boasting and fantasizing about the future.
After seeing Xu Jingmo coming out of the library, the same thought popped up in my mind: it’s great to meet an excellent and like-minded friend.
The young man should stand up and grasp the stars, catch the moon and chase the sun.
They all still have infinite glory and a long future ahead of them.
