The dormitory quickly quieted down. Chen Lu, still smelling the lingering scent of alcohol, continued to stare at the ceiling.
Although Chen Lu's school is very good, any college student faces pressure when it comes to postgraduate entrance exams or internships.
He wanted to live an easy life like Li Sinian, and he also wanted to take a chance like Jiang Chao while he was young.
If you choose one path, you will inevitably miss the scenery along the other.
That's life. You can't even predict whether the path you choose will be easy or what you'll see.
It is precisely because of this inability to make a decision that one keeps thinking back and forth, feeling anxious and uncertain...
Until they lose the courage to take a step.
"I'm here with you."
The girl's innocent words suddenly echoed in his ears. Chen Lu slowly picked up his phone and sent a message to Liang Zhirou.
Chen Lu: What are you doing?
This seemingly straightforward, masculine sentence structure has become the starting point for Chen Lu's conversations with Liang Zhirou.
Liang Zhirou would always honestly answer what she was doing, and she also enjoyed sharing her situation with Chen Lu in this way.
This time, however, the girl seemed busy with something and didn't reply immediately as usual.
......
Liu Yan drove Jiang Chao's car, intending to take him to his friend's place.
She knew what her boyfriend's sore spot had always been, so she indulged him in this situation and went to deliver the package without hesitation.
Jiang Chao, still half-asleep, felt the jolting and woke up, asking, "Where are we going?"
Liu Yan, who was standing next to her, found it amusing and said, "Where do you think we're going? Didn't you ask me to take you to your friend's place?"
"Oh..." Jiang Chao turned his face away, gazing at the scenery rushing past outside the window.
Cars passed by, and in the distance, the skyscrapers of various companies were still lit up.
People in the 21st century seem to never rest at 9 p.m.
This is what life without freedom is like.
He looked at the night outside, his expression suddenly becoming very serious. "I want to take a gamble."
"You've already said it once," Liu Yan said, her tone full of affection.
Jiang Chao paused, leaned his head against the car window, and continued, "If I really do that, I might fall out with my family, and then if I sell this car... I'll have nothing left."
"You don't mind me?"
Liu Yan slowly turned the steering wheel, spitting at him with a smile, "I still dislike you more the way you are now!"
"Logically speaking, Jiang Chao, whom I like, wouldn't be so timid and submissive."
Jiang Chao smiled at his reflection in the car window, the gloom on his face dissipating considerably.
“Oh right, I also disliked the old you,” Liu Yan added. “If you dare to flirt with other women like you did before we met, I’ll break your legs.”
"Damn it! I've really fallen for you."
He sat in the passenger seat, chatting casually with Liu Yan, completely unaware that someone was sitting in the back.
Watching the two flirting, Mo Yuqing felt a strange pang of envy. When Jiang Chao needed Liu Yan, she would immediately rush to his side, but when she needed Chen Lu, she realized she had already driven him away with her own hands...
Liu Yan glanced at Mo Yuqing, whose expression was complicated, through the rearview mirror. Mo Yuqing also gave her a wink.
She sighed deeply and said, "Speaking of which, has Chen Lu been getting quite close to a girl lately?"
"Um."
"How did you meet?" she asked again.
Jiang Chao recalled carefully, "On the day your best friend rejected his confession, our whole dorm went out drinking with him."
That girl worked part-time as a waitress at that hot pot restaurant.
Then, they happened to see someone bullying that girl, and you know what Chen Lu's personality is, he rushed over without saying a word and confronted them to put an end to it.
As he spoke, he laughed proudly, fueled by the alcohol. He genuinely liked his friend Chen Lu. "Later, when we went out, the girl was also about to go home. Chen Lu noticed that she hadn't applied any medicine to the burn she had accidentally burned, so he chased after her."
Then, on the way home, I gave her a coat. The girl happened to be from our school too, so she asked to return the coat. We gradually became closer.
Liu Yan didn't speak, but nodded silently, and quietly continued to observe Mo Yuqing's expression through the rearview mirror.
Mo Yuqing was biting her lower lip tightly, her eyes, which were originally full of pride, were now filled with bitterness.
What do you think of that girl?
“We’re not familiar with each other.” Jiang Chao recalled Liang Zhirou’s timid appearance at the hot pot restaurant, and after a short while, he continued, “That girl is probably very introverted, so Chen Lu has no intention of letting us get to know her at all.”
"It's a blessing for a girl with this kind of personality to meet Chen Lu."
"Of course, I think Chen Lu is lucky to have met her during this period."
He didn't elaborate on what "this period" meant, but the two girls in the car naturally understood.
"What's the progress?"
Jiang Chao rolled his eyes at her, "You don't need to ask for your best friend. It's like the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is."
"What if the emperor gets anxious?"
Jiang Chao was taken aback. "The emperor is getting desperate... Well, then he can just hang himself from a crooked tree. Look at all the dynasties in history, when the emperor gets desperate, it means things are really out of control."
When there's no immediate crisis, the emperor is only concerned with enjoying himself; other people aren't in a hurry at all.
He added, "It's too late."
Silence fell over the car, and soon Jiang Chao got off at his destination.
Liu Yan didn't rush to get on the road. She listened quietly to the sound of the car's back door opening and watched Mo Yuqing slowly sit in the passenger seat.
