Chapter 58 Youth
Chapter 58 Youth
On Saturday, everyone should have slept in until they naturally woke up, but when Chen Che opened his eyes, the dormitory was already empty.
Damn it, they probably all went to study behind my back!
Dating is fine, playing games is fine, eating delicious food is fine, none of that matters. But if he secretly studies behind his back, then don't blame him for severing his father-son relationship with those bastards.
Then it dawned on me that today was the first day for various clubs at school to recruit new members.
Mrs. Chuang reluctantly saw him off at the door. Chen Che walked from the dormitory area towards the north gate. The closer he got to the south gate, the denser the stalls became, and the bustling crowds made it feel like he was back on the first day of school.
In front of Chenyi Square, a senior student wearing roller skates weaved back and forth among a row of paper cups as an obstacle course, spinning, jumping, and closing his eyes with precision and elegance.
It's pretty good-looking, but not really.
After all, the most exciting thing was the street dance performance next door; the female students were all wearing crop tops and jeans and dancing coolly.
"The clear courage that flows through the years in this small town"
Memories washed clean, I remember you living on with pride.
... "
Jay Chou's "Huo Yuanjia" resonated not only on university campuses but also throughout the entire Chinese music scene.
That year, Jay Chou said at a music awards ceremony, "We Chinese pop music are the coolest," which was incredibly arrogant, but no one thought he was arrogant.
After the dance ended, the senior student was panting slightly, sweat sticking to her bangs, her chest heaving.
I can't imagine how sour and pungent the food inside the lunchbox must be.
It would be a waste not to share this scene with Huaimin.
Sure enough, there was no need to search for him a thousand times; he was right there where the lights were dim.
"Brother Ma, I knew you'd be here! You're here to appreciate art too?" Chen Che squeezed through the crowd and patted Ma Xu on the shoulder.
Ma Xu turned his head and saw Chen Che. He nodded and said, "Yeah, this dance is really round... oh no, this song is really loud... well, you know what I mean."
"It's okay, I understand."
"But aren't you going to the guitar club?" Chen Che glanced at him casually.
"Art is all interconnected," Ma Xu replied without changing his expression.
The lively scene under the sunlight made Chen Che's eighteen-year-old corpse feel warm.
There's a saying that one cannot simultaneously possess youth and the feeling of youth.
The days of studying are certainly tough, but the permutation and combination problem that a female classmate asks you for help with might just hold the purest and most innocent romance of your life.
Unfortunately, you solved the problem, but you couldn't unlock her heart.
When a different senior started dancing, Chen Che and Ma Xu walked away listlessly. Ma Xu went to the guitar club, while Chen Che saw a group of people gathered a little to the west. Upon closer inspection, he found that the card club had set up a table and gathered a group of people to play a game of "Army Eight".
Chen Che glanced at the generals' faces. In the early days of Three Kingdoms Kill, he could still understand the generals' skills. The lord was Sun Quan, the Little Conqueror of Jiangdong, with Zhong Hui and Guo Jia as his left and right protectors. Other generals included Gouhuo, Xu Sheng, Liu Bei, Lu Su, and Guan Yu, the Martial Saint who was famous throughout China.
At this time, the online game was still operated by Bianliang Enterprise. Those who could light up the Divine General's Lamp were already considered wealthy. Boss Bao was not yet able to laugh heartily, after all, his lifelong lover, his Mona Lisa Chong'er, had not yet been online.
The lord set up the Eight Trigrams Formation and played a red "Kill" card at Guo Jia, triggering the "Excitement" effect and drawing a card.
"flash."
Hmm... I don't know who he is because he doesn't sell blood.
"Pass."
Number two Zhong Hui.
"Kill!" Zhong Hui played a black "Kill" card at the lord.
In order to awaken, the lord did not use Flash.
Hmm... the second position is also reversed.
Xu Sheng, who plays position three, is the only Wu player on the field, so he must be a loyal subject, right?
Xu Sheng glanced at him lightly: "Activate your Lord Skill, Conquer!"
The effect of Domination is that Wu generals can have a point contest with the lord. If the Wu general's point is lower than the lord's, then both cards can be given to the lord.
Alright! This is a loyal subject bringing me a card!
Xu Sheng slowly took out a card, and the two of them compared their cards. Bao Zong played a King of Spades, using one of his cards to kill someone else.
My lord: "?"
Damn! A triple counterattack.
Then, the first round ended, and the lord had entered his strongest defensive stance, with two health points remaining.
Wait a minute! Why are all seven of them trying to kill me?! Two loyalists have turned against me and are playing with snakes?
I originally expected this game to drag on for a while, but it ended very quickly because the lord used a naked attack to summon one Nanman and one Wan, and Guo Jia sold two more Nanman. With four AOE attacks, the rebels collapsed.
After reviewing the game, the loyal ministers were Zhong Hui and Guo Jia, the traitor was Liu Bei, and the other rebels were...
"Damn, is this some kind of loyalist election?"
"What's wrong with Zhong Hui? My name has 'Zhong' in it, how can I not be a loyal minister?"
"So you fucking killed me right at the start of the game?"
"How can you awaken if I don't kill you? Let me tell you, you can't find a loyal minister with my personal abilities even if you search with a lantern."
Seeing that the two were about to start exchanging insults, Guo Jia quickly stepped in to mediate: "Stop arguing, everyone deserves the same credit, the three of us are just too strong."
"You're so tough, you're so unyielding. I'd kill you without even selling your blood. I thought you were a traitor."
"Of course we have to get out of here. Why would we need to sell our blood?"
……
After a round of cards was finished, several people left and a few more came to the table. Chen Che also wanted to sit down and play a round. Just as he was about to sit down, he saw a person walk out from the crowd opposite him. It seemed that he was also there to play cards.
acquaintance.
It was obvious that the other party had also seen him.
"Hey, senior." Chen Che smiled awkwardly and nodded to Xu Chong across from him.
Xu Chong smiled and waved as usual at first glance, but the second glance reminded him of that incident.
This kid still owes me and Liu Wei a debt.
Well, you have a path to heaven but choose not to take it, and a path to hell but choose to come here.
Ah, no, that's not right.
He owed them both money.
Xu Chong walked over, grabbed his hand, and pulled him out of the crowd. They came to a tree, and Xu Chong pressed him against it.
Xu Chong squinted and smiled at him, "Junior, long time no see, did you miss me?"
Chen Che's eyes widened in terror: "Senior, please don't do this. I like girls."
"Get lost! I like girls too! You son of a bitch, when are you going to pay us back the money you owe us?"
When the topic of money came up, Chen Che's face immediately fell: "Well... senior, we've just started our business, and we're under a lot of financial pressure and have cash flow problems. You see... um... could you...?"
"Sure, of course you can, why not?" Xu Chong smiled, his smile as warm as the sun.
Chen Che's eyes lit up: "Really? Then it's a happy decision!"
"However, as you know, the server you guys use for making fries is currently from our lab, which means you're basically getting it for free."
Getting something for free is great, but what if the power goes out, a fire starts, or you're just frying potatoes? The data might get lost... Hardware has a price, but data is priceless, junior.
"I don't know if you've heard, but Samsung's production lines overseas catch fire every day," Xu Chong said earnestly.
"Don't your lab servers have a UPS?" Chen Che asked after a moment of silence.
Xu Chong was taken aback. This kid was something else; he even knew about UPS.
"Alright, I'm coming clean, I'm not pretending anymore," Xu Chong said, spreading his hands. "Junior, you know, I'm not very emotionally stable, I get easily carried away, and when I do, I like to run some weird sentences through the database..."
Before Xu Chong could finish speaking, Chen Che interrupted, "Oh! Senior, I just remembered, the school has a special fund that will be transferred soon. Don't worry, the rest of the money will definitely be in place soon."
Xu Chong slapped Chen Che on the shoulder: "Stop talking nonsense, I don't want to hear it. I just want to know the deadline when the money will be transferred."
"It will definitely arrive this month, before the end of the month, absolutely not next month!"
"Hmm." Xu Chong nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, junior, shall we go play cards?"
"Hehe, I suddenly remembered I have something to do. The hospital just called; my roommate is having a difficult labor and they're asking whether to save the mother or the baby."
"Oh, I see. Well, take care then."
