one

Next, this despicable person was too lazy to waste words with me; he did something that made me wish we could perish together.

We were playing chess when a boy walked over to the empty seat next to Junliang, wanting to sit down. Junliang quickly called out, "Hey, someone is here, sorry!" The boy raised his eyebrows slightly in disappointment and had no choice but to get up and leave.

Once the lunch break is over, the entire campus resembles a pot of boiling water, filled with buzzing sounds everywhere. The broadcast announces in a hoarse voice from a senior: "Student × × ×, someone has found your group membership file, please come and claim it quickly," or, "Student × ×, your lost luggage has been found by student × × × at × × ... ... "

He reverted to the fierce and intimidating demeanor of his high school days and shouted at me: "You fool, my mother bought this for me!"

After more than ten minutes, a seat finally became available. Gu Ciyuan, with a gentlemanly demeanor, invited me to sit while he stood. I decided not to be polite with him.

This point, even without Junliang mentioning it, I am aware that issues that can be resolved with money and power are not issues at all

However, when that person stepped onto the stage, when I heard the surrounding girls begin to whisper, and when I saw Junliang take off the headphones with a smile that was both mischievous and joyful, I realized that something was amiss

Hmph, is having a nano really that impressive? I also shot her a glance and surveyed my classmates around: Ah, some are secretly playing poker underneath, some are reading magazines, and others are using their smartphones to check the stock market. It seems there are even those who are composing poetry? ... Ah, my apologies, isn't that the exceptionally talented Tang Yuanyuan and the erudite class monitor...

It seems that the university is indeed a place where all kinds of creatures, both real and mythical, can be found.

The large scoop of ice cream that had just been placed in my mouth was barely savored before I was compelled to swallow it whole due to his words, and in that instant, I felt a refreshing chill, my heart soaring.

Actually, there is another question I really want to ask but feel embarrassed to do so: Is the "over" you often mention the same as the "over" I know

I lay on the table and lamented, "How can there still be more! The obituary should have been finished by now!"

When I came to my senses, the bus had already stopped, and everyone was gathered around to watch the commotion. Gu Ciyuan had the shorter man, who was a head shorter than him, firmly pinned to the ground, delivering a punch directly to his nose. Soon, we saw blood streaming from the man's large nostrils.

Jun Liang shot me a glance, and I knew she thought I was being harsh, but I defiantly shot one back at her: Do you think you are being magnanimous?!

In fact, there are times when I truly feel that God was undoubtedly particularly attentive when creating certain individuals. For instance, Junliang is not only beautiful, but also has a good figure; and as if that were not enough, she is the daughter of a high-ranking official

I cannot understand what her mother consumed during pregnancy that resulted in her possessing such an extraordinary physique. While everyone else is sweating profusely, she still appears refreshingly composed.

I was rendered speechless by her; those dumplings for ten yuan do not fill you up, they just make you burst!

Jun Liang sighed and was about to say something when Tang Yuanyuan interjected, "Do you all know? That new student representative from the photography major comes from a super wealthy family!"

I do not know from which website he copied that speech, which is wordy and pretentious; I feel embarrassed for him just listening to it. However, what I find even more incredible is: how did he end up here

Before pulling me out of the car, Gu Ciyuan took out several hundred yuan from his wallet and threw it in that person's face, then dropped two words: "Despicable"

Under his cover, I finally managed to retrieve the money from the soapbox with great difficulty. It was only later, upon seeing the roster of Class 5 of "Chinese Language and Literature," that I realized this bespectacled boy, who constantly had the words "over" and "OK" on his lips, was actually our class monitor, Liang Zheng

Her exquisite concealing technique left Jun Liang in awe: "You really should act in Painted Skin."

Junliang took off her sunglasses from her head and placed them on her nose. I couldn't quite discern where her gaze was focused. I only heard her say: "Chuwi, you are truly a female version of Nezha."

Thus, reincarnation is truly a technical endeavor

After Junliang walked away, I suddenly felt as if I had been struck by lightning

After he finished speaking, he walked around the auditorium wall, then directly approached us through the side door, and finally sat down in the empty seat next to Junliang, saying to me, who had not yet regained my composure: "What's wrong, don't you recognize me?"

He is quite honest: "I was the first to sign up"

I had no way to argue, so I could only steal a glance at his rugged profile, and the question I most wanted to ask him remained unspoken in my heart

I finally erupted

I pointed at him: "What I wear is none of your business. I didn't ask you to buy me Chanel. Even if I go out naked, it is not up to you to lecture me..."

And then there is that guy named Gu Ciyuan, being smart is one thing, but he actually uses his intelligence for the right purposes, winning scholarships year after year just to treat others to meals. Of course, his family is not short of money! But why does heaven have to give him such a good-looking face? Why?

To be precise, it was Gu Ciyuan who struck the man standing next to me

The bus swayed back and forth, and he never took off his sunglasses, so I had no idea that all along, his eyes, hidden behind the brown lenses, were openly observing me, who was at a loss.

Recalling my regrettable youth truly evokes a deep sense of nostalgia

I took a step forward while Junliang was not paying attention, but unexpectedly, she noticed it immediately: "Song Chuwei, you are truly shameless!"

On the night of her sixteenth birthday, I walked with her for a long time in the thick, deep snow, surrounded by a vast expanse of white, with only the footprints of the two of us in the snow.

Jun Liang nodded at her: "Well done, I truly admire your blind confidence."

As the stirring music began to play, the previously boisterous voices in the auditorium gradually quieted down

As I was on the brink of collapse, I caught a glimpse of the bespectacled man from the small restaurant at noon, who had looked down on Junliang and me for wasting food. He was under the scorching sun, savoring the sight of me, with a thick quilt draped over my head, while my hands were desperately rummaging in the bucket beneath the basin, yet I could not retrieve anything.

She proudly said, "It has always been lonely at the top; I have long since become accustomed to it." After saying this, she did not forget to roll her eyes at the greasy shao mai in my hand

Seeing that I remain silent, he takes advantage of the situation: "Just look at you, with such a large collar, is your head the size of the Earth..."

Next, the senior students delivered their welcoming speeches. Observing their exuberant demeanor, I felt that they were not merely energized by ordinary enthusiasm, but rather by an excessive intake of some kind of hormonal boost.

After driving a certain distance, my mother's figure in the rearview mirror became smaller and smaller. For some reason, a wave of inexplicable sourness surged in my nasal cavity. This feeling was truly terrible. I instinctively bit my lip, trying hard to dispel that pretentious sadness.

I asked him what he wanted me to come out for, and he replied, "Accompany me to buy a camera"

Jun Liang and I exchanged a glance, then lowered our heads to eat. I could only hear Tang Yuanyuan speaking alone: "His family should have quite a background, right? I just saw him having dinner with the dean and the secretary; they were smiling at him, just like relatives..."

After she left, Junliang asked me: "Is that bag real or fake?"

I stared blankly at the person on stage, dressed in a white T-shirt, looking as clean as if they had just emerged from the water, momentarily oblivious to the traitor Jun Liang beside me, who was observing my reaction with great interest

While waiting for the red light, Junliang turned her face to look at me, then tilted her head and gave me a light tap, saying, "What's wrong? Your eyes are all red, do you miss your mother?"

It was at the moment when I let my guard down that my mother successfully executed her scheme. As I watched her deftly stuff luggage into the trunk of the car that was coming for Junliang, I felt as if my heart had died.

As I angrily chewed on the miniature steamed dumplings, I played Go with Junliang while not forgetting to attack her: "It's the first assembly of the new semester, and you come to our class. With such a high profile, you will eventually be ostracized by the girls in your class!"

During the lunch break, I lay in bed unable to fall asleep, as scenes from high school replayed in my mind like a movie. Back then, if Gu Ciyuan saw me at the school gate, he would definitely take a detour and enter through the back gate; I would text him, but he never replied, and he rarely answered my calls. When other classmates mentioned me in front of him, he always wore an expression as if he had stepped in something unpleasant.

Finally, she compromised: when she picked up the chicken leg from her lunchbox and handed it to me, I returned it, and she picked it up again and handed it to me once more... then she spoke up: "Chuwi, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to play tricks on you; it was Gu Ciyuan who asked me to keep it a secret from you."

I said nothing, but turned my head to look out the window. Towering ancient trees were planted on both sides of the auditorium, their leaves shimmering with a glossy sheen under the sunlight

After a long time, he finally couldn't help but ask me: "Aren't you hot?"

I anxiously grabbed Gu Ciyuan, speaking incoherently: "What are you doing? In a society governed by the rule of law, in a harmonious China, why resort to violence?"

I quickly changed the subject: "So... who are you saving a spot for?"

And I would certainly never submit to her proposal of "hiding the money in this soap box, then placing the box inside the bucket, covering the bucket with a basin, and finally draping a quilt over the basin"

The topic of our argument this time was "Where exactly should we hide several thousand yuan in tuition fees to keep it safe?" My mother insisted that with my usual flamboyant and high-profile style, I would attract too much attention, and the tuition fees would surely be stolen by thieves

I shrugged my shoulders, truly unaware. However, when I registered yesterday, I heard her telling someone that this bag is a limited edition, with only 200 available worldwide, and just 10 in China, one of which is with Zhao Wei. I guess the remaining nine are probably all with her

When Junliang told me that she had thought of a way to arrange for us to be in the same dormitory, my eyes widened like copper bells, and I said, "No way? Different majors and different classes, and we can still be arranged together?"

She shot me a glance, probably thinking that I was too unreasonable, and unexpectedly put on her headphones to listen to music, ignoring me.

Nonsense, of course I am hot! Who wouldn't feel hot with a ten-pound cotton quilt on their head? But I really feel embarrassed to take that soap box out in front of so many people, and then perform like a close-up magician by pulling out several thousand yuan from the box.

After exchanging a glance with Junliang and confirming that he was indeed speaking to us, we looked at each other again, ensuring that none of us recognized this person who misused words. I said: "The weather is too hot, and I have no appetite. If you don't mind, could you please help us? We don't have any contagious diseases."

In the end, she said to me: "Do not be too extravagant with your spending; refrain from purchasing items that are optional."

She smiles, and in this world, besides those who are broad-minded and embrace all, there exists another type of person who can also achieve "unperturbed by praise or blame"; that is, those who live entirely in their own world. In their imagination, they are the most perfect, and all unfriendly words from others stem from jealousy towards them

How can I possibly bring myself to ask? I am only afraid that after I ask, he will regard me even more as a self-deluded fool.

I rolled my eyes, impatiently closed the car door, and couldn't be bothered to respond to her

While we were waiting for the bus at the bus stop in front of the school, girls passing by would occasionally glance at him, and he, wearing brown sunglasses, appeared to be quite accustomed to it.

In fact, I was just joking when I said that, but who would have thought that he would actually take the plate of fried chicken from our table without any hesitation, and in the end, he even said to us: "Then I will help you solve this."

I gazed at him in confusion, then turned my gaze to Junliang. For some reason, I suddenly felt that my eyes could not focus; everything appeared hazy, blurred, and unreal.

Jun Liang had a bewildered expression on his face as he asked me, who was staring in shock: "Is this satisfying his cravings, or is it a way to relieve his worries?"

Tang Yuanyuan, carrying that green LV bag, turned back to us with a smile and said, "I will take my leave first, you all should hurry up too"

Hearing this statement makes me want to vomit. Who would be reluctant? Since childhood, my greatest dream, aside from world peace, has been to grow up quickly, earn money early, and escape her control

I asked him: "How did you become the class monitor?"

That night, I had the privilege of witnessing Tang Yuanyuan without her makeup, and I finally understood why she applied such thick foundation. How should I put it? Her features are not unattractive, but her skin is in poor condition, and the numerous blemishes on her face make her appear particularly haggard

We squeezed into the cafeteria for quite a while before we managed to buy breakfast. The attitude of the woman at the dumpling counter was not very friendly. When I received those tiny shumai, I couldn't help but exclaim: "How small, how can one get full from this!"

My mind truly feels as if it is filled with paste, completely unable to function

I was feeling melancholic when my phone rang, a local number I did not recognize. Just before I answered, I wondered if I had gained a fan so quickly. As soon as the call connected, a voice that was all too familiar pierced through the crackling static: "Song Chuwei, I am waiting for you at the girls' dormitory entrance, hurry out."

She shook the keys in her hand at me, her expression slightly proud: "The secretary of this school has known my dad for many years, so this small favor is nothing. Don't worry, just follow me, and I guarantee you'll have meat to eat"

Before we became good friends, Su Junliang was a well-known figure on campus. Regarding the arrogance, indifference, and eccentricity that everyone commented on, she kept people at a distance. She always wore an expression of disdain for the world, ignoring any rumors circulating in the school. Whether the girls were jealous or envious, or whether the boys admired or looked down upon her, it was all a world that had nothing to do with her

On the day of filling out the application, you said you would go wherever I go, were you not joking with me

I raised my head and looked at her expressionlessly, knowing that my face must look very ugly at this moment, yet I simply could not smile

I do not know how many school leaders on stage have changed, as what they say is all quite similar. No, it is not just the words of those few individuals that are similar! I feel that the speeches of all school leaders I have encountered throughout my life have been quite alike.

Junliang gave me a push and said, "Stop daydreaming, my major is over there for registration, I will go ahead first, and we will talk on the phone later"

She didn't even glance at me, who was clearly hesitant to speak, but instead playfully complained directly to Liang Zheng, who was standing beside the line maintaining order: "Class monitor, I'm so hot, could you please go buy me a bottle of orange juice? It needs to be cold!"

We hurriedly arranged our luggage, and just as we filled a basin with water to clean up, the curly-haired girl who wanted orange juice appeared before us. She found an empty bed to sit down and, while drinking her orange juice, introduced herself: "My name is Tang Yuanyuan, not the 'Yuanyuan' of Chen Yuanyuan who 'lost her temper for the sake of beauty,' but the 'Yuan' from the poet Yuan Zhen who wrote 'Once you've seen the vast sea, no other water can compare; except for the clouds of Wushan, no other clouds can be found.'"

While I was still immersed in my longing for a beautiful future, Gu Ciyuan suddenly engaged in a fight with a man standing next to me with a speed that was as swift as a flash, catching me completely off guard

Watching Liang Zheng's figure happily disappear into the distance, I sadly thought, Class Monitor, you are truly over.

She softly said, "Chuwi, you are my only friend"

Gu Ci Yuan shook off my hand, silently picked up the counterfeit phone that had been thrown to the ground, removed the battery, and then, in front of everyone on the bus, forcefully broke the phone into two pieces

During the registration, I met a girl who made me feel that God favored her greatly. She stood in front of me, her legs as thin as matchsticks. When she turned her face, I was startled. I really wanted to ask her, in such hot weather, how can you wear such thick foundation? Is your skin able to handle it? Even more exaggerated were the shadows on her cheeks; I truly wanted to ask her, do you realize that your contouring looks like a beard?

I suspect that if I continue to listen intently, I will hear that advertisement which almost drove me to the brink of collapse: "Li Ziming from Class 6, Grade 3, your mother is waiting for you at the door with two cans of Wangzai milk..."

That was the only time in my memory when Junliang displayed her loneliness in such a poignant manner. It would take me a long time to truly understand what Junliang meant, to genuinely comprehend the unspoken wounds she bore behind her proud smile and along her seemingly glamorous path of growth.

The weather is too hot, and we can hardly eat anything. We barely took a bite or two of the dishes we ordered. When we got up to pay the bill, a very serious-looking, thin young man at the next table, wearing glasses, said to us: "Eating just two or three bites to lose weight is really excessive, it's such a waste."

I was taken aback by his cutting remark, and it took me a while to respond. Instinctively, I glanced at my attire; there was nothing wrong with it. I truly do not believe that my appearance is in any way inappropriate or offensive

Gu Ciyuan, that "scoundrel", finally came to a halt. Immediately after, he angrily stormed up to me, took off his sunglasses, and glared at me, saying: "Can't you refrain from dressing so scantily to appear seductive? There's no need to flaunt that expanse of skin like an airstrip!"

During lunch, Junliang felt as if she had become invisible, because no matter how enthusiastically she asked me, "What do you want to eat? It's on me!" or pretended to be angry and said, "Is it really necessary to be like this? I didn't steal your boyfriend," she could not elicit a single word from me.

As I boarded the bus, holding an ice cream, I momentarily didn't know where to place it. He naturally took hold of my free hand. I noticed a ring on his ring finger, and for some reason, I felt a twinge of sadness in my heart

As the bus jolted along, the scenery outside the window and the passersby rushed backward, presenting to me an entirely new city, a completely new atmosphere of life. Free from the constraints of my nagging and rigid mother, from this moment on, even if I were to poke a hole in the sky, no one would be able to control me!

She shot me a glance, while deftly helping others pack buns, and replied, "You only bought one yuan's worth, so you definitely won't be full. Why don't you try buying ten yuan's worth and see if you can get full."

Junliang, with nano earphones plugged in, did not hear such a long string of nonsensical tongue twisters at all, but as a student majoring in "Chinese Language and Literature," I felt so ashamed that I almost spat out a mouthful of blood

I threw down the chopsticks and said, Junliang, I don't want to eat anymore, let's go

When we arrived at the Communication University, it was already noon. The teachers at the registration desk had all gone for their lunch break. At the entrance of the campus, under the huge sunshade, there were either people inviting you to get a mobile phone card or selling cold drinks and ice pops. Junliang handed me a rose-scented wet tissue and softly said, "Let's go eat first"

Tang Yuanyuan dismissively said to us: "With technology so advanced now, a cup A breast can be augmented to a G cup, and men can even transition into women. What does my little blemish matter? When I have money, I will get a laser treatment for my spots and also have my inner eye corners done. By then, I don't know how many boys will be chasing after me."

After the disorganized warm-up speakers finally finished their lengthy introductions, it was time for the representative of this year's new students to take the stage and speak

After everything was ready, my mother didn't even glance at me. Instead, she earnestly reminded Junliang about this and that, as if Junliang were her daughter and I was merely a bystander.

Because I just remembered that my "huge" tuition fees are hidden in such a secret place, if no one helps me, I simply cannot take them out

In my entire life, it is the first time I have seen someone wearing a ring given by their mother on their ring finger, and he actually has the audacity to call me a fool

In the sweltering summer, I was panting as I jogged behind him. No matter how much I called out to him, he did not respond. Eventually, I became angry and shouted at his back: "Gu Ci Yuan, who are you showing off for? I won't accompany you!"

After clarifying the situation, the bespectacled man's eyes projected an extremely disdainful gaze: "You are truly over the top, what does it matter? Don't be so vain, okay?"

I asked him: "Are you married?"

On the second day, we could not be late for the new student assembly. Tang Yuanyuan got up to start her makeup when the sky was just beginning to brighten. Junliang and I were still in a state of drowsiness, but by the time we finished washing up, the Tang Yuanyuan from last night, who had a face full of spots, had already transformed into a different person.

He kissed me

After calming down, I sincerely feel that this woman is truly a perfect match for that overclass monitor: a blend of Chinese and Western styles, unmatched in the world

After letting out this roar, I felt the camphor trees by the roadside tremble

On the day I left City Z to report to the university, I had another argument with my mother

You have to admit that fate can be quite mischievous at times. Seeing Gu Ciyuan at the apartment door holding a box of matcha-flavored ice cream, I truly felt that everything happening before my eyes was simply unbelievable

After a moment of stalemate, he finally said: "In high school, my classmates all said I was your mother's son-in-law, so how well do you think we know each other?"

When none of us were willing to compromise, someone downstairs called my name. In a fit of anger, I leaned out to see Junliang sitting in the car wearing gradient purple sunglasses. She lowered the car window and smiled at me triumphantly, saying: "Chuwei, my father sent someone to take us."

Although Junliang's statement may seem a bit harsh, it is indeed a reflection of the truth

I heard a hearty laugh erupting from my throat: "Hahaha, are we that familiar? Why should I accompany you?"
