Volume 5: Twenty Undoubted Chapter 352 The friendship boat capsized
After breakfast, Jiang Xiaoguo walked out of the school cafeteria holding Luo Yan's arm. Seeing Luo Yan, who was obviously worried, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help asking:
"Shitou, is something wrong with you?"
"No!"
"Then why do you look so unhappy lately?"
"We are all adults, who can still be cheerful all day long?"
After taking a look at Jiang Xiaoguo, Luo Yan smiled as she walked:
"Besides, I'm not usually particularly happy!"
"Did you have a quarrel with your former postgraduate study partner Lu Ran, or did you have a quarrel with your mother?"
“Neither!”
Rolling her eyes at Jiang Xiaoguo, Luo Yan couldn't help but complain as she walked:
"Xiao Guo, I really admire you!"
"What do you admire about me?"
Jiang Xiaoguo looked at Luo Yan curiously.
"You mentioned two names that I least want to hear right now in one sentence. Isn't that amazing?"
"All right!"
Jiang Xiaoguo rolled his eyes at Luo Yan and said with a curled lip:
"Then I won't say anything, okay?"
“That’s more like it!”
Just as the words fell, before Jiang Xiaoguo could speak, a male voice sounded beside him:
"Luo Yan!"
Speak of the devil, and he appears. Seeing that the person coming is Luo Yan's former postgraduate study partner Lu Ran, Jiang Xiaoguo lets go of Luo Yan's arm and says with a smile:
"Shi Tou, I'll wait for you in the dormitory!"
"OK!"
After watching Jiang Xiaoguo leave, Lu Ran walked up to Luo Yan, half-slung his schoolbag over his right hand, and adjusted his glasses with his left hand, and said nervously:
"Luo Yan, I, I..."
Seeing Lu Ran hesitating and unable to speak, Luo Yan frowned and said:
"If you have anything to say, just say it now!"
"Luo Yan, can you please stop being angry with me?"
Looking into Luo Yan's eyes, Lu Ran said in one breath:
"You haven't talked to me for several days. I sent you a WeChat message, but you didn't even reply!"
"I'm not mad at you!"
Looking up at Lu Ran, Luo Yan said directly:
"Besides, I don't even plan to take the postgraduate entrance exam, and I don't want to delay your studies!"
"That's not what I meant!"
Thinking that Luo Yan was still angry with him, Lu Ran quickly explained:
"That day, I just wanted to urge you to study hard and not play games all day. Who knew that when I mentioned your mother, you..."
Before Lu Ran could finish his words, Luo Yan interrupted him and said angrily:
"So, could you please stop mentioning her?"
"fine!"
Seeing Luo Yan getting angry again, Lu Ran thought she was quarreling with her mother, so he smiled disapprovingly and said:
"It's normal to quarrel with your parents. It will be fine in a few days. You and your mother..."
"It has nothing to do with you, just study hard!"
Luo Yan said impatiently, and was about to turn around and leave. Seeing her like this, Lu Ran immediately stopped her and frowned, saying:
"Luo Yan, can you please stop being so awkward? Can't we just talk it out nicely?"
"I can't explain it properly, and you know I'm a very awkward person!"
Looking at Lu Ran who was blocking her way and not letting her leave, Luo Yan said directly:
"Don't come to see me anymore, okay?"
With one last look at the silent Lu Ran, Luo Yan walked around him and left. Lu Ran stood there for a while, watching Luo Yan's back, and then left in the opposite direction. The two of them went in opposite directions, getting farther and farther away, as if they were breaking up completely. The friendship was over.
…
At the same time, Liang Shuang picked up a package from the express delivery point outside the school supermarket. It was a box of Red Fuji apples. The outside of the box was wrapped with layer upon layer of white transparent film. It was specially sent by her grandmother from her hometown. Although it was not worth much money, Liang Shuang was very happy because her grandmother was the person who loved her the most in the world. From childhood to adulthood, she had lived with her grandmother and loved her very much. She was the closest person to her.
After putting a box of apples on the ground and taking a photo, Liang Shuang looked so happy that he wanted to call his grandma on WeChat.
After a few beeps, WeChat was connected, and Liang Shuang smiled happily:
"Hey, grandma, I received the apples, but you sent me so many. How can I finish them all?"
"Those are great apples, you can't buy them outside, they're crisp and sweet. Give some to your roommates so they can have a taste. If they think they're delicious, grandma will send you more!"
"Got it, Grandma!"
"By the way, I heard from your mom that you are in love at school? What does the boy look like? Is he handsome?"
"Well, he's quite handsome. I'm so good-looking, how can I be attracted to someone who's ugly?"
"That's great. A man's appearance is not the most important thing. What matters most is whether he has real ability and whether he is really willing to treat you well. Do you understand?"
"Okay, I see. He treats me very well. Don't worry!"
"Okay, that's good, you go ahead and do your work, I'm going to hang up first!"
"Well, bye grandma!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After hanging up WeChat, Liang Shuang sighed softly, then sent a WeChat voice message to Yuan Xudong, along with the photo he had just taken, asking him if he wanted to take some apples back to eat.
After a while, Yuan Xudong rushed to the area between the school supermarket and the girls' dormitory, and helped Liang Shuang move the box of apples to the downstairs of the girls' dormitory. Then he unwrapped the plastic film wrapped around the box and took a few apples back to eat. At this moment, Luo Yan came back to the dormitory from outside and helped Liang Shuang move the apples into the girls' dormitory.
Facing Luo Yan, Yuan Xudong was very calm. In front of Liang Shuang, he behaved as if nothing had happened, as if that night was just a wonderful dream. On the contrary, facing Yuan Xudong, Luo Yan was a little at a loss, her face flushed, and Liang Shuang almost saw through her.
At noon, Duan Jiabao went to the old tea restaurant to eat alone. After eating and drinking, she burped and looked at the waiter in the restaurant and said:
"Waiter, pay the bill!"
"Okay, wait a moment!"
Seeing Duan Jiabao coming to the restaurant to eat alone and looking unhappy, Daxiong, who had been paying attention to her, came over and said with a smile:
"Why are you eating alone today?"
"Hey, you're there?"
Seeing Daxiong, Duan Jiabao, who thought he was taking a day off today, said in surprise:
"I should have invited you to eat together!"
After that, looking at the smiling big bear, Duan Jiabao said a little embarrassedly:
"By the way, have you told your dad about your resignation from Tencent?"
"No!"
Shaking his head slightly, Big Bear said with a smile:
"I've tried several times but I don't know how to start the conversation. I can only keep it from him for now and tell him later!"
At this moment, the waiter of the restaurant came over, looked at Duan Jiabao and said with a smile:
"Your total spending today is one hundred and twenty-eight!"
"good!"
Seeing Duan Jiabao preparing to pay by scanning the QR code with his mobile phone, Daxiong quickly said:
"Why don't you just put it on my account today!"
"No need, I'll do it!"
With a beep, the payment was successful. Duan Jiabao looked at the waiter in the restaurant and said with a smile:
"Okay, I've paid!"
"Okay, thank you!"
After the waiter left, Daxiong took out his phone and opened WeChat Moments:
"Today I saw someone reposting the news about Ouyang Yushuang beating Liang Shuang on WeChat Moments. The title was something like a large-scale fight between the two Shuangs. I saw you were in it too. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, let me see!"
"good!"
Daxiong handed his cell phone to Duan Jiabao and comforted her:
"It seems like Ouyang Yushuang was the first to make the move. All the comments below are scolding her. Don't worry too much!"
"Well, I'm not worried. It was Ouyang Yushuang who started it first!"
Taking the phone from Daxiong and flipping through the news with pictures and facts, Duan Jiabao muttered to himself:
"I thought so. No wonder Liang Shuang said someone wanted to interview her!"
"Aren't you Liang Shuang's agent?"
Seeing that Duan Jiabao seemed to know nothing, Daxiong was a little surprised and said:
"How come you don't know?"
"Stop talking, she kicked me out!"
Duan Jiabao returned the phone to Daxiong and said depressedly:
"And Xiaoguo and Shitou also know that I'm her manager. Now all three of them are ignoring me. You must not follow my example. Lying will always be exposed in the end, so you should tell your dad the truth. You must not follow my example!"
"Okay, I got it!"
Nodding slightly, Daxiong looked at Duan Jiabao and asked worriedly:
"Then they've all broken up with you. Will it be hard for you to live in the dormitory?"
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me. It just so happens that we have signed up for the college's knowledge competition together. When the time comes, I'll act cute and coquettish with them and apologize to them. They should forgive me!"
Duan Jiabao looked at Daxiong and smiled:
"I don't think our TYTO group will disband so easily!"
"What is TYTO?"
"Xiaoguo's name is said to be the abbreviation of half-ripe and half-youth. You too, should spend more time with your dad and tell him that you have resigned from Tencent. Don't lie to him, understand?"
"Okay, I got it!"
"Okay, I'm going back to school for rehearsal!"
Duan Jiabao stood up from his chair, holding his bag and preparing to leave.
"Let's go. If you need any help, please let me know. Bye !"
"Okay, bye!"
Daxiong also stood up from his chair, then sent Duan Jiabao out of the tea restaurant. After watching her leave, he went to the restaurant's kitchen to help.
…
When Duan Jiabao returned to the dormitory, he found several big round apples on his desk. Although Liang Shuang, Jiang Xiaoguo, and Luo Yan were not in the dormitory, there were also several red apples of similar size on their desks. Seeing this, Duan Jiabao couldn't help but feel happy.
She took out the question and answer manual of previous years' college knowledge competitions and reviewed it, while waiting for Jiang Xiaoguo and the others to come back.
"I am Xiao Guo, who is in charge of appearance!"
"I am the stone in charge of IQ!"
Hearing the voices of Jiang Xiaoguo and Luo Yan, Duan Jiabao stood up from her chair suddenly and ran to open the door with a happy face. Just as she opened the door of the dormitory, before she could walk out, Da Bing's voice rang out in the corridor again:
"I'm the heavyweight!"
"We are the TYTO group, we are the TYTO group!"
“Very good, very good!”
When Duan Jiabao heard the slogan that originally belonged to him being shouted by Da Bing, he immediately retracted his steps in embarrassment. Seeing that Jiang Xiaoguo and the others were about to come in, Duan Jiabao felt that it would be very awkward if they met each other, so he immediately hid in the bathroom.
Duan Jiabao had just hidden in the bathroom when Jiang Xiaoguo, Luo Yan, and Da Bing came in. Jiang Xiaoguo and Luo Yan put down the quiz booklet of the college knowledge competition and said:
"We have cooperated very well, so let's do this from now on!"
"Da Bing, this is all thanks to you, otherwise our TYTO group would have disbanded long before the performance!"
"You are being polite. How about we hurry up and practice?"
Da Bing raised the quiz booklet of the college knowledge contest in his hand and said with a smile:
"I have memorized this manual, so feel free to ask any questions you like!"
"Have you memorized them all?"
Looking at the thick question book, Jiang Xiaoguo and Luo Yan could not help but look at each other. It would be great if they had the time and energy to learn some useful knowledge. The so-called college knowledge competition was nothing more than an extracurricular entertainment activity. There was no need for it at all!
Thinking this in his heart, looking at the proud big cake, Jiang Xiaoguo looked at Luo Yan and said:
"Then let's ask her a few questions!"
"OK!"
Luo Yan opened the manual and flipped through it casually, then asked:
"In an egg, is there more fat in the egg white or the egg yolk?"
"yolk!"
“Where did the original sugar come from?”
"Honey!"
Seeing Da Bing's cheerful face, Jiang Xiaoguo looked at Luo Yan and said with a smile:
"Ask a slightly more difficult question!"
"Okay!"
Luo Yan flipped through the manual twice and continued to ask:
"What's the fifteenth digit after the decimal point of pi?"
"It's three!"
Seeing that Da Bing gave the answer to the question without even thinking, Jiang Xiaoguo smiled and said:
"What's the tenth digit?"
"Well……"
Hearing the question from Jiang Xiaoguo, Da Bing was suddenly stuck. He stammered and couldn't answer, then frowned and said:
"This question isn't in the manual, change it!"
"Are you sure this question isn't in the manual?"
Jiang Xiaoguo asked.
"No!"
Looking into Jiang Xiaoguo's eyes, Da Bing said confidently:
"I've already told you that I've memorized every question in the manual. This question definitely doesn't exist. There are only two questions about pi. You've already asked me one, and the other one is about the twelfth digit after the decimal point of pi. There's no question about the tenth digit!"
"All right!"
Looking at Da Bing who was full of confidence, Jiang Xiaoguo clapped his hands and said with a smile:
“Awesome!”
Hearing Jiang Xiaoguo praising himself, Da Bing quickly said modestly:
"It's just so-so. I'll go back and put the information away first. See you at the door later!"
"Okay, bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After watching Da Bing walk out of the dormitory, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but shook his head and laughed:
"This kid must have gone crazy from memorizing books. She really memorized them by rote. It's such a thick manual. I really admire her!"
"Me too. How come she has such a good memory but she can't even pass the CET-4?"
"Who knows, maybe she's not interested!"
Jiang Xiaoguo smiled and said:
“Haven’t you heard that interest is the best teacher?”
"No!"
Rolling her eyes at Jiang Xiaoguo, Luo Yan hesitated and said:
"Xiao Guo, don't you think we are going a little too far? Will Da Bao be angry?"
"What should we do then?"
Jiang Xiaoguo was in a low mood and pouted:
"She can be angry, but we can't be angry, right?"
"Too!"
…
In the bathroom, Duan Jiabao leaned against the door, holding a question and answer manual of previous years' college knowledge competitions in her arms. Although she did not memorize all the questions in the manual like Dabing , she also read it very carefully.
He just wanted to win this last college knowledge competition and use it to repair his relationship with Jiang Xiaoguo and the others. Unfortunately, he died before he could accomplish his goal. He was abandoned by his teammates before he even started. He hid in the bathroom and cried alone. His situation was really miserable and sad.
