Chapter 39: Reunion of Old Friends in a Foreign Land

  Sitting in the car, the driver drove with great care, his dream seemed to have finally set sail, yet it also seemed to be slowly falling.

  The weather at this moment seems so good, blue sky and white clouds, blue as the boundless ocean, white as thick goose down.

  These days, Shao Hua has been so gentle and harmless, although he has threatened him countless times and made him almost die, but it's really completely different from the past, from start to finish, he hasn't let him see anything dirty.

  But he was still so frightened and nervous, and in his midnight dreams he still saw those various glass jars.

  He didn't understand why he was like this, but he knew that circumstances can change easily, but one's nature is hard to alter!

  Shao Hua is still Shao Hua, and Shao Qi never thought he was gay, because he absolutely wouldn't fall in love with anyone, whether it's a man or a woman, because someone like him would never have such emotions.

  Because of infatuation, what is usually infatuated with will be destroyed by itself.

  So, is it really because of what?

  Shao Qi vaguely remembered that the woman, Lan Xin, was so resentful of their father that she took it out on him, abandoning him to vent her anger and seek revenge...

  Entering the city, Shao Qi dismissed the driver. After all, he was just an ordinary person and not a real rich second-generation, wearing dragon robes wouldn't make him an emperor.

  Then he went to the ATM and checked the balance of his bank card. When he saw that long string of zeros, he suddenly felt a sense of happiness.

  Is this selling himself out and getting what he wants? Shao Qi thought to himself.

  He took out a suitable amount of cash, hailed a luxurious taxi, and had no idea that he had already become a rich man. He rushed to his dream university like all the other college students who came to this city.

  It turned out that his imagined perfect university matched this university perfectly, and reality even exceeded his expectations.

  Known as the most authoritative higher education institution in China, Shuozhou University covers an astonishingly vast area, with a sky that seems to be filled with sacred light. The scenery here is breathtaking, combining elements from ancient and modern times, China and abroad.

  It's almost chaotic, yet somehow it doesn't look disorganized at all!

  Walking on the campus avenue where leaves were rustling down, Shao Qi was being taken to various places to pay fees and report by a pair of male and female students who claimed to be freshmen from the law department.

  The eyes of the two people were like a flowing stream, with a tacit understanding and expression that was identical. Shao Qi could see that this was a couple with deep feelings for each other.

  "The dormitory is in the southwest direction of the school, just take campus bus line 4 to the terminal station. After finishing the last procedure, the boy gave him a standard smile."

  Shao Qi nodded and thanked him, just about to leave.

  The boy suddenly caught up and said, "When we arrive at this big shot's place, be careful and don't overdo it. If you need anything, you can find me!" As he spoke, the boy handed him a small piece of paper with a string of numbers written on it in standard handwriting.

  Shao Qi couldn't help but laugh, perhaps because of this simple yet effective business card, perhaps because of the boy's inexplicable reminder, or perhaps he himself didn't know why!

  "Good!"

  "Uh, goodbye!"

  Carrying a nearly empty suitcase with almost nothing in it, Shao Qi arrived at his own dormitory, which was a pretty good location, facing the sun.

  Opening the dormitory door, what caught my eye was a strange face and four grayish-brown big beds.

  Shao Qi smiled and walked in, "Hello! You're really early!"

  That person was crouching down collecting his luggage, seeing him appear first stunned for a moment, and then stood up to continue his luggage. The honest and delicate face also smiled: "Hello, I just arrived not long ago. Hmm? Why do you have so little stuff?"

  "I'm used to going into battle lightly equipped." Shao Qi shrugged.

  Suddenly, the sound of luggage wheels scraping against the floor came from the doorway again. The two of them looked towards the door and saw a thin, extremely emaciated young man slowly walking in, wearing thin clothes.

  He was really thin, and the grey overcoat on him looked like a big sack.

  He saw only his eyelids slightly moving, and suddenly he pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, waved it at them, and curled up the corners of his mouth into an arc. "Hey! How are you?"

  But Shao Qi only now saw his appearance clearly, deeply hidden in the almost unkempt and disheveled brown hair, his face was gentle yet not showy.

  Although he looked decadent, he gave people a positive feeling. Shao Qi smiled slightly: "I don't smoke..."

  The boy who was about to hand over the cigarette hesitated, looking at Shao Qi with a somewhat accusatory expression, not understanding why he was being so unreasonable.

  The boy whistled softly as he gazed at Shao Qi, his eyes gleaming with a chilly light as he said, "Actually, I came to borrow fire..."

  Shao Qi shrugged his shoulders: "I don't smoke, so of course there's no fire!"

  The boy's eyebrows rose in a challenge: "Lei Yifan, my name!"

  Shao Qi smiled faintly and said: "Shao Qi!"

  The boy seemed puzzled, and Yu Cheng stretched out his hand in a friendly manner: "I'm Yu Cheng!"

  "Hello!" The two of them spoke in unison, but with different expressions.

  Li Yifan nodded, but directly ignored Cheng's outstretched hand in front of him and walked past with his side.

  Yu Cheng's face looked a bit unsightly, but Shao Qi saw this and grasped both of his somewhat stiff hands, easing the awkwardness.

  In one evening, the three people's personalities were all revealed.

  One is eccentric and unconventional in character, one is cautious and friendly with a smooth demeanor, and one is wise and witty with elegant charm.

  "I have a premonition that living with you won't be a peaceful life, you little monster!" Lei Yifan tossed his luggage onto the empty bed board and turned to look at Shao Qi, his sharp words laced with a hint of amusement.

  "I agree! Abstract master!"

  "Is this your new nickname?" Yu Cheng smiled.

  "Little brat!" In unison, they looked at each other and smiled.

  "Go, go, go, I'm 19 already," Yu Cheng retorted, jokingly saying: "What do you think the next person who comes in will be like? Tall or short, fat or thin?"

  "Sure enough, you're still an immature little brat, how boring!" Lei Yifan sneered.

  "Ah... I think I'll just say it instead of guessing, actually I'm already here!" A playful voice, with a hint of excitement and passion for being in this place for the first time.

  "Ah, hello!" Yu Cheng felt awkward.

  "......" Lei Yifan ignored him.

  "You...?"

  Shaoyi's eyes widened, as if something had pierced his eyes, and a white light spread out in layers...

  He had thought of many possibilities, but he never thought that he would really meet him again. After all, in this world, there are many people who can only be passing guests in each other's lives.

  "Shao Qi, I'm here too!" The newcomer had a radiant smile on his face, and he seemed to have grown taller. The youthful face that was once pale from studying late into the night in high school now looked refreshed.

  Looking at the excited boy, Shao Qi was stunned for a moment before smiling and patting his shoulder, turning to face the two of them: "My high school classmate, Cheng Mian!"

  "Dog blood!" Li Yifan sneered and said calmly: "Li Yifan."

  Everyone looked up at him, and didn't mind his sharp tongue either.

  "What a coincidence?" Yu Cheng exclaimed, walking forward and saying, "I'm Yu Cheng!"

  Cheng Mian nodded and said: "Everyone, please give me more guidance in the future!"
