Chapter 90: Oath
The two people chatted a lot after reuniting, and it seemed that they had endless things to say to each other.
They talked about their past in the northwest, their longing for each other after separation, and their good friends Qin Zhengguo and Ying Caixia when they were educated youth together.
"Zhengguo is doing well in Yangcheng now ." Song Yuanchao talked about Qin Zhengguo. He didn't need to hide anything from Lin Yan. He told Lin Yan in detail what he had done in Shanghai, and told Lin Yan that he had asked Qin Zhengguo to go to Yangcheng at that time, and now Qin Zhengguo had settled down in Yangcheng.
"Yuanchao, you must promise me one thing!" Lin Yan suddenly said to Song Yuanchao seriously.
"What's the matter?" Song Yuanchao helped Lin Yan wrap a piece of roast duck and gently placed it in her bowl.
"Please don't do such risky things without telling me again. What should I do if something happens to you?" Song Yuanchao didn't mention these things in his letter to her. This was the first time Lin Yan knew that Song Yuanchao almost got into trouble. Fortunately, this incident passed without any danger. Thinking of this, Lin Yan's eyes became moist.
"Don't worry, I promise I won't let you worry anymore. I didn't think things through before and took things for granted."
Lin Yan felt relieved a little. Compared with ordinary people, as a college student, especially a student studying economics at Imperial University, Lin Yan knew much more information than ordinary people. What's more, Lin Yan's father, Lin Daoyuan, worked in the State Planning Commission. At present, there are still many debates in the country about market opening, and there is no consensus on the opinions. Under such circumstances, what Song Yuanchao did was really too risky.
Afraid that Lin Yan would continue to worry about this issue, Song Yuanchao quickly changed the subject and talked about other things, especially some interesting things about Qin Zhengguo, the lively guy, in Shanghai. After hearing this, Lin Yan couldn't help laughing out loud, and the heavy atmosphere just now dissipated in an instant.
"By the way, are you still in touch with Ying Caixia?" Speaking of Qin Zhengguo, Ying Caixia naturally cannot be ignored. The two of them, along with Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan, were the closest companions when they were educated youth. However, compared with the other three, Song Yuanchao did not know what Ying Caixia's current situation was. After returning to Shanghai, Song Yuanchao wrote a letter to Ying Caixia, but Ying Caixia only replied with a short letter, which only told Song Yuanchao that she had returned to Jinling and everything was fine. After that, there was no letter from him again.
Lin Yan shook her head and told Song Yuanchao that she had also written to Ying Caixia, but Ying Caixia did not reply. It had been more than a year since they separated. Lin Yan missed her good friend very much and was worried about Ying Caixia's current situation.
"Maybe she is busy with her own things." Song Yuanchao guessed. This time, the time for going north was tight, and Song Yuanchao did not have time to visit Ying Caixia in Nanjing. However, since she had replied to him before, there should be no big problem. When he returns to Shanghai during the winter vacation, Song Yuanchao plans to go to Nanjing to see Ying Caixia's situation.
Lin Yan agreed immediately, and said that if possible, she would like to go to Nanjing with Song Yuanchao to see Ying Caixia. At this point, Song Yuanchao smiled and invited Lin Yan to spend the New Year in Shanghai, and reminded Lin Yan that this was an appointment they had made in the northwest that year. Hearing this, Lin Yan also smiled and agreed readily.
The Imperial University of Peking closes early now, so Song Yuanchao and his friends cannot go back too late. After dinner, Song Yuanchao asked Master Wang to help pack three ducks for each of them. Lin Yan was very surprised to see that Song Yuanchao bought so many.
"Take these two back, one for Xiaoyun and her roommate, and the other for your roommates. This one is also for my roommates. We can't secretly eat good food outside and make them jealous, right?"
Song Yuanchao explained with a smile, and Lin Yan felt relieved after hearing it. It was true that when they went out to eat good food, they would always bring some for the classmates who stayed in school. She hadn't thought of this just now.
"Yuan Chao, I find that you have changed." Lin Yan said this suddenly.
"Have I changed?" Song Yuanchao's heart was beating violently and he looked at Lin Yan.
"Yeah." Lin Yan looked up, her eyes sparkling. "You are more mature than before, and you think more carefully. Although this is a trivial matter, you thought of it. Aiding Korea, maybe time really trains people. Now I understand why you can be appreciated by the leaders in such a short time and let you be the workshop director."
At this point, Lin Yan showed a gratified smile: "I am very happy about your change, Yuan Chao. It's not that you were bad before, but now you let me see more shining points in you. I hope we can encourage each other and make progress together in the future."
"Okay!" Song Yuanchao laughed and nodded seriously, "Then, classmate Yan Zi, let's encourage each other!"
Women's senses are very sharp, Song Yuanchao had to admit that.
Compared with the previous Song Yuanchao, the current Song Yuanchao is still himself, but his mentality and the way he looks at things are different from before.
Before, Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan had a sincere relationship, but apart from their mutual affection, Song Yuanchao had a common problem among young people, that is, he was young and full of vigor, and could not lower his face in some matters, or he had too strong self-esteem.
Song Yuanchao was indeed like this when he was young. As a lover, how could Lin Yan not know Song Yuanchao's temper? But now, after reuniting, Lin Yan was pleasantly surprised to find that Song Yuanchao's feelings for her had not changed at all, and he also understood more about the ways of the world, and became more mature and calm.
It was these things that made Lin Yan feel the change in Song Yuanchao, and this change was a relief and surprise to her.
Indeed, Song Yuanchao was young and full of energy, too self-respecting, and prone to thinking in a dead end. It was this character that made Song Yuanchao in his previous life embark on a life path with great regrets, but it was also because of the lessons and experiences in his previous life that Song Yuanchao had this precious life experience and made him a different Song Yuanchao now.
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when they returned to school, and they parted on campus.
Song Yuanchao watched Lin Yan walk into the girls' dormitory. When he could no longer see Lin Yan, Song Yuanchao walked briskly towards Building 38.
When I returned to the dormitory, in addition to Cheng Mengshan and Sun Yaoliang whom I met in the afternoon, there were two new classmates.
One of the two new classmates is named Lu Hairong. Lu Hairong is from Hangzhou. The youngest is only eighteen years old and is a graduating student this year.
The other one is Lu Jun , 23 years old and from Zhongyuan Province. Like Song Yuanchao, he was an educated youth. He failed the exam last year but continued to take the exam today and finally got admitted to Imperial University of Peking.
Song Yuanchao said that there were eight people in total in their dormitory, but only five of them had arrived, and the other three had not yet arrived. However, this was normal, as today was the first day of reporting, and there were still two days to go. If nothing unexpected happened, the other two would report in one after another during these two days.
Among the five, the oldest is Cheng Mengshan. Sun Yaoliang and Song Yuanchao are of the same age, but Song Yuanchao is two months older than him. Next are Lu Jun and the youngest Lu Hairong. When Sun Yaoliang saw Song Yuanchao coming back, he happily introduced the two new classmates to Song Yuanchao. They were all young people and quickly became familiar with each other.
When Sun Yaoliang saw the roast duck that Song Yuanchao brought back, his eyes suddenly lit up. He gave Song Yuanchao a thumbs up and praised him for being a good friend and a nice guy. He unceremoniously invited everyone to start eating and praise Song Yuanchao for being a rich man.
At the beginning, everyone was a little embarrassed, especially Cheng Mengshan, who was the oldest but had the worst conditions among the five.
He had been married for a long time and had children. He was very frugal. Although his eyes lit up when he saw the fragrant roast duck , his reason made him subconsciously reject Song Yuanchao's invitation. But how could Song Yuanchao not see it? He directly dragged him to sit at the table, wrapped a piece of roast duck himself and stuffed it into his hand. He also smiled and said that he had eaten his pancakes in the afternoon, so it was natural to invite him to eat roast duck in the evening. You are the oldest and you are the eldest brother in the dormitory. How can the younger brothers feel embarrassed if this eldest brother does not take the lead?
Hearing these words, Cheng Mengshan felt warm in his heart. He took a light bite of the roast duck. When the fragrant roast duck mixed with the taste of sweet sauce filled his mouth, Cheng Mengshan felt such a delicious food for the first time. He also thought of his wife and children who were waiting for him at home. He secretly vowed in his heart that he must seize this opportunity to study hard in college, to make a name for himself, and never let anyone look down on him again!
