Seeing her friends transform one by one filled Shen Jingyan with a sense of comfort.
In this era of constant renewal, those who are willing to work hard and strive will not be let down by fate.
After the morning classes ended, the four of them went to the cafeteria for lunch together.

Huang Yuexi looked at the bright sun in the sky and said:
"This year's late summer heat is really intense, I'm going to buy some popsicles!"
Shen Jingyan, who was drinking soup, almost choked when she heard the word "popsicle".
Help! She couldn't bear to hear those two words right now.
Huang Yuexi actually bought the popsicles.
These days, popsicles are very cheap. A regular popsicle costs three cents, and a milk popsicle costs five cents.
Huang Yuexi comes from a wealthy family, and she bought four milk popsicles at once.
Shen Jingyan opened the popsicle packaging and froze.
The popsicle was cylindrical, and it looked like...
It's just much smaller.

She furtively licked a small sip, then looked around nervously.
However, her worst fears came true. She had barely taken a few bites of her popsicle when she met Gu Zhiyun's intense gaze.
He had just gotten his food and was walking over here with his lunchbox, accompanied by Yang Xuechang.
"Is the popsicle delicious?"
Chen Jingyan: "!!!"
How could Gu Dagou ask her such a question in front of so many people!
Fortunately, to onlookers, this sounded perfectly normal.
Otherwise, she would have been killed on the spot!
After class in the afternoon, Gu Zhiyun came to pick her up at the dormitory entrance. The first thing he said to her was, "Want some popsicles?"
Chen Jingyan: "..."
That's it, I'll never get over this joke.
She vowed never to eat anything cylindrical in front of Gu Zhiyun again.
As soon as the two rode their bikes out of the school gate, someone rushed up and tried to stop them. Gu Zhiyun braked quickly to avoid hitting the person.
The person in front of me is familiar yet repulsive.
Zhao Yanyan was dressed up in a flamboyant manner, looking just like a colorful parrot.
"Brother Gu, I've been waiting for you for three hours! You've finally shown up!"
She said with a happy expression.
She completely ignored Shen Jingyan, who was standing next to Gu Zhiyun.
Shen Jingyan had never seen anyone with a face bigger than Zhao Yanyan's.
They moved, so they're blocking people at the school gate.

Gu Zhiyun had already told her that he was married, but she still wouldn't give up and kept trying to get closer to him.
What's that saying again? "A shameless person is invincible!"
When Gu Zhiyun saw that it was Zhao Yanyan, he didn't give her a friendly look, and didn't even greet her. He hopped onto his bicycle and was about to leave with Shen Jingyan.
"Wait a minute, Brother Gu, have you forgotten what day it is today?"
Zhao Yanyan gripped the bicycle handlebars tightly, preventing Gu Zhiyun from leaving.
Gu Zhiyun glanced at her coldly.
"Today marks the 97th anniversary of Jingya and I getting our marriage certificate."
His meaning was crystal clear, but Zhao Yanyan remained unyielding and stood in front of the two of them.
"Brother Gu, today is my birthday."
Gu Zhiyun raised his eyebrows: "Oh, then happy birthday, take care."

Shen Jingyan was utterly exasperated with Zhao Yanyan. Just to chat up Gu Zhiyun, she traveled all the way to tell a married man that it was her birthday.
Zhao Yanyan looked a little dejected after not receiving the blessing she wanted.
She handed a beautifully packaged little box to Gu Zhiyun.
“Brother Gu, in previous years I would invite everyone over for a meal and to cut the cake for my birthday. Now that I no longer live in the Imperial Capital compound, I still hope you can have my birthday cake.”
Mentioning Zhao Yanyan's birthday brought back many unpleasant memories for Gu Zhiyun.
When Zhao Guangsheng was at the height of his power, everyone in the capital compound tried their best to maintain a good relationship with his family.
Zhao Yanyan's birthday naturally became an important day for the Imperial Capital Compound.
Although none of the families were wealthy, everyone still had to open their wallets to buy gifts for this spoiled and arrogant little princess.
Zhao Yanyan was picky about these gifts. If a gift from someone didn't suit her taste, she would make sarcastic remarks about that family's child for half a year.
For the little princess's birthday, the celebration had to be grand. Every year, Zhao Guangsheng would book a private room at a state-run restaurant and invite the children from the Beijing compound to eat and drink.

Gu Zhiyun rarely went there; when he did, it was only out of necessity.
He didn't want to put his parents in a difficult position in front of Zhao Guangsheng, especially since Fang Ru was still working under Zhao Guangsheng at that time.
He didn't want his parents to spend money to buy gifts for Zhao Yanyan, so he gave her some of his handmade items.
When Zhao Yanyan got something from him, she would proudly show it off, wanting the whole world to know.
But things are different now. Zhao Guangsheng's glory days are over, and his family has slunk out of the capital compound. People no longer need to spend money to please Zhao Yanyan.
This year's birthday must have been a rather quiet and lonely one for the little princess, and she probably wasn't used to it.
Gu Zhiyun stared coldly at the box of cake, making no attempt to reach out and take it.
Zhao Yanyan panicked and shoved it into Gu Zhiyun's hand.
A small, fair hand stepped between Zhao Yanyan and Gu Zhiyun and took the cake.
