Volume 5: Twenty Undoubted Chapter 370: End of Twenty Unconfused (Part 2)
Time: Before graduation
Location: Girls' dormitory
Characters: Jiang Xiaoguo, Duan Jiabao, Luo Yan, Liang Shuang
As they were about to graduate from college, Jiang Xiaoguo, Luo Yan, Liang Shuang, and Duan Jiabao all returned to the school dormitory at the same time, preparing to spend their last night in the dormitory. They tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Jiang Xiaoguo spoke first:
"Are you all asleep?"
"Um?"
Hearing Jiang Xiaoguo's voice, Luo Yan responded:
"I thought I was the only one awake!"
"I haven't slept either!"
"And me, I haven't slept either!"
Following the voices of Liang Shuang and Duan Jiabao, the four girls each turned on the table lamp on their bedside table and began to chat in the slightly dim light.
Jiang Xiaoguo spoke first:
"Liangzi, are you really planning to give up your career as a beauty blogger? Don't you think it's a pity?"
"It's a pity, but people always lose something when they gain something. It's fair to give up something!"
Hearing Liang Shuang say this, Luo Yan asked curiously:
"So what do you plan to do in the future?"
"I have already sent my resume to an internet celebrity agency. I plan to work there and then study!"
"But you have so many fans? Can you really adapt to starting from the bottom?"
"Yes!"
Liang Shuang was lying on the bed in a pink pajamas with colorful bird patterns. She smiled and said:
"I don't have to worry about food or clothing now, and my mentality has adjusted very well. I started from the bottom and laid a solid foundation, so that I can make further progress in the future!"
Speaking of this, Liang Shuang smiled and said:
"By the way, do you think my personality has improved a lot in the past year?"
"yes!"
Hearing Liang Shuang say that his personality has improved a lot in the past year, Jiang Xiaoguo and Luo Yan both smiled, and Luo Yan even laughed out loud:
"Whenever we mentioned your name before, I trembled all over!"
"Is it as exaggerated as you say?"
"Yes, if you don't believe me, you can ask Xiaoguo or Dabao!"
…
Listening to the laughter between Liang Shuang and Luo Yan, Jiang Xiaoguo lay on the bed, looked up at Duan Jiabao who had been quiet all the time and smiled:
"Baby, why don't you say anything? Are you still going to be a manager?"
“I don’t know yet!”
Hearing Jiang Xiaoguo's question, Duan Jiabao lay on his back on the bed, looking at the ceiling above his head and said calmly:
"I just want to relax for a while!"
"You have the capital, so you can keep it short for as long as you want!"
Luo Yan smiled.
"Oh, I just haven't figured out what I want to do yet, so I signed up for a charity organization to be a volunteer!"
Duan Jiabao said with a smile.
"Um?"
"Huh?"
"What's going on?"
Jiang Xiaoguo, Luo Yan, and Liang Shuang were very surprised to hear that Duan Jiabao had signed up to be a volunteer at a charity organization. They sat up from the bed. They had never expected that Duan Jiabao, who was usually very low-key, would have such a high level of ideological awareness. Luo Yan looked at Duan Jiabao and asked:
"Dabao, what are you going to volunteer for?"
"Oh, I participated in an activity organized by them before, and I thought it was very meaningful, so I wanted to experience it again, go to the mountains to teach those children to read, and sort myself out at the same time!"
“That’s good too!”
Looking at Duan Jiabao, Jiang Xiaoguo asked:
"Then you and Big Bear..."
Before Jiang Xiaoguo could finish, Duan Jiabao interrupted her and said:
"Hey, I've made it clear to Daxiong. Although he's a good person and treats me well, he's really not my type. When I'm with him, I don't feel any excitement at all. I'm a complete face control, you all know that, right?"
"That big bear is so pitiful!"
After hearing that Duan Jiabao had explained everything to Daxiong, Luo Yan asked with a smile:
"By the way, how is he now? Is he still a chef?"
"No, he resigned and went to Huawei, still working as a software engineer!"
"I told you, he became a chef purely on impulse, turning his hobby into a job, so he's definitely not going to last long!"
Liang Shuang smiled.
"Stone!"
"Um?"
Looking at the fair-skinned Luo Yan with long hair, Jiang Xiaoguo smiled and said:
"They both have their own goals. What about you? Are you still going to study in the UK?"
"Me?"
Hearing Jiang Xiaoguo's question, Luo Yan thought for a moment and said:
"Actually I don't want to study in the UK, nor do I want to continue my studies. I want to go to Disney, escape rooms, team building planning, or work for a company that provides customized private travel!"
“Everything is fine!”
Jiang Xiaoguo smiled and said:
"I used to think you were a little too easy-going, but now I think it's right to listen to my heart!"
"I think so too!"
Luo Yan smiled.
"Xiao Guo, what about you?"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo, Duan Jiabao smiled and said:
"You used to say that you wanted to work at Pulin Capital every day. It didn't matter if you had a good reputation or not, as long as you could make a lot of money. So why don't you go now?"
Hearing Duan Jiabao teasing her, Jiang Xiaoguo immediately fought back with a smile:
"Oh, when you were a freshman, you, Duan Jiabao, were a crazy fan. All you did was eat, drink and have fun all day long!"
"Then, why don't you talk about stones?"
Duan Jiabao rolled his eyes at Jiang Xiaoguo and said coquettishly:
"Shitou, since she was a freshman, she just lay on her bed and played games and her phone, and she often hid from her mother!"
“Isn’t this little fruit the same?”
Hearing Duan Jiabao talking about the embarrassing things he liked to do when he was a freshman, Luo Yan laughed and said:
"At that time, she was still in that financial field every day, and she still hated Zhao Dachuan!"
"Haha, did Zhao Dachuan contact you again later?"
"No, he saw how well I was doing, with all the big houses and Tesla electric cars I posted on my Moments, how could he have the nerve to contact me?"
"That's right, let him regret it, let him regret it to death, haha!"
…
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo, Duan Jiabao, and Luo Yan who were talking and laughing, Liang Shuang couldn't help but interrupt and said with a smile:
"Well, what about me?"
"Yo~~"
Looking at Liang Shuang who was pouting, Luo Yan laughed at her:
"At that time, we didn't even dare to mention your name, Liang Shuang. We just knew it was half past ten every day, Jiang Xiaoguo... turn off the lights!"
“Turn off the lights!”
Jiang Xiaoguo also shouted along with Luo Yan, and then the four girls laughed together. Jiang Xiaoguo lay down on the bed and sighed:
"You know what, time flies by so fast. We have been through so much in these four years at university. People around us come and go, and even we are almost gone!"
As soon as the voice fell, the atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly became quiet. Seeing that no one was talking, Jiang Xiaoguo climbed up from the bed and laughed:
"Don't mention it, I suddenly remembered it!"
"What do you remember?"
Luo Yan said.
"In these four years of college, I have never slept in the same bed with Liangzi. No, I must sleep with her today!"
"Huh?"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo lift the quilt, get up from the bed, and prepare to sleep with him, Liang Shuang quickly refused with a look of disgust on his face:
"No, don't come over here!"
"Liangzi, here I come!"
"No, help!"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo and Liang Shuang laughing, Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan also got up from the bed and joined in the fun, laughing:
"Me neither, I want to sleep with Liangzi too!"
"I want one too, I want one too, wait for me, I'm coming!"
"Liangzi, you are so beautiful!"
"Who? Who touched me?"
"It's not me!"
"It's not me!"
"It's not me either!"
"Who is that?"
"It's Yuan Xudong!"
"Bah, don't mention the scumbag!"
"Yes, yes, don't mention the scumbag!"
"Let me sleep, help!"
“Haha~~”
…
A night passed, and the next morning, Jiang Xiaoguo, Duan Jiabao, Liang Shuang, and Luo Yan got up early, washed their faces and brushed their teeth, put on loose clothes, and then went to the lecture hall with the materials they had prepared for the defense. Jiang Xiaoguo also brought a laptop computer specifically for watching TV series, as she has recently become fond of TV series about mothers and babies.
Especially the scene where the heroine is pregnant and the domineering president chases his wife to the crematorium. Every time she sees the heroine abusing the hero, she automatically puts herself and Yuan Xudong in the shoes of the hero. Looking at the heroic heroine and the hero begging for the heroine's forgiveness, she feels very comfortable and happy both physically and mentally.
Entering the lecture hall from the back door, Luo Yan chose the second to last row. She sat at the outermost position, close to the aisle. Duan Jiabao, Jiang Xiaoguo, and Liang Shuang sat in the same row with her, and sat in turn closer to the inside. The gray-haired graduation thesis instructor wrote the words "School of Economics and Management Defense Guidance" on the blackboard and said with a smile:
"Okay, let's start the class. Before the class starts, let's take a roll call. This may be the last roll call of this class!"
"Liang Shuang!"
"arrive!"
"Luo Yan!"
"arrive!"
"Li Yue!"
"arrive!"
…
"Then, I will call the roll. Congratulations to those whose names are called. This means that your graduation thesis has passed the preliminary review . We will then proceed to the group defense through roll call. Students whose names are not called do not need to be nervous. I will give you a week to revise your work. Roll call will begin now!"
"Liang Shuang!"
"arrive!"
"Luo Yan!"
"arrive!"
…
At the back door of the lecture hall, three women crouched down, tiptoed in, and sat in the last row. Looking at Liang Shuang, who had a delicate and tender face sitting in the front row, Wang Manni couldn't help but take out her phone and took two photos of her. After hearing two "clicks", Liang Shuang couldn't help but frowned and looked back. Wang Manni quickly put away her phone and said embarrassedly :
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
After looking at Wang Manni, as well as Zhong Xiaoqin and Gu Jia who were sitting next to her, Liang Shuang turned around to look at Jiang Xiaoguo, Duan Jiabao, and Luo Yan, and whispered in surprise:
“You’re not my fan, are you?”
"Did you come here specially to watch your defense?"
After secretly glancing at Wang Manni and the other two sitting in the back row, Duan Jiabao looked at Liang Shuang and whispered:
"The main thing is that you are famous now, Liang Shuang, aren't you nervous?"
"I'm nervous, but I'm even more nervous about the photo shoot on your birthday party!"
"Oh, please stop talking. I feel a little desperate now when I think about getting another year older!"
"You're only 22 years old, are you serious?"
After taking a look at Duan Jiabao, Jiang Xiaoguo said while watching the drama:
"Then how can you expect the people who are 25 or 30 years old to survive?"
"That's true!"
"Haven't you heard of it?"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo and Duan Jiabao, Liang Shuang interrupted:
"After the age of 25, a person's face goes downhill like a roller coaster. If I take good care of my skin now, what will I do if I become an old lady in my 30s?"
…
In the last row of the lecture hall, looking at Liang Shuang, Jiang Xiaoguo, Duan Jiabao, and Luo Yan who were playing games in the front row, Zhong Xiaoqin looked at Gu Jia and said with slightly wide eyes:
“Does thirty make me an old aunt?”
"yes!"
Looking at Zhong Xiaoqin, who looked like a child and had a baby face, Gu Jia smiled and said:
"People like me who are married and have children are just old aunts in their eyes. But don't worry, you look so young, just like a girl in her early twenties. You will always be a pretty girl!"
"Where is that?"
Hearing her good sister Gu Jia say this, Zhong Xiaoqin blushed shyly and said:
"You're laughing at me!"
“Hey, the post-2000s are really different!”
After taking a look at Zhong Xiaoqin and Gu Jia, Wang Manni smiled and said:
"Look at the girl with the ponytail in front. I just saw her face. Her makeup was so delicate that she looked like a porcelain doll. I thought she was some anchor. And she was about to defend her thesis, but she was still calmly putting on makeup. Amazing!"
"excellent!"
Gu Jia smiled.
"She is pretty, and the other girls look like students. However, they..."
After taking a look at Liang Shuang, Jiang Xiaoguo, and Luo Yan, who were slightly pregnant, Zhong Xiaoqin was not sure:
"Are they pregnant?"
"That shouldn't be possible, right?"
Wang Manni looked at Zhong Xiaoqin and smiled:
"When I was 22, I also thought about buying a full set of skin care products every day. The more expensive the better. But when I was 30, I realized that love is the best skin care product for women!"
Hearing Wang Manni say this, Zhong Xiaoqin and Gu Jia couldn't help but laugh, and Gu Jia even joked with her:
"I see, you're not talking about love, but about men, right?"
"It's all the same, all the same!"
Wang Manni said with a smile. Seeing her senior rotten girl look, Zhong Xiaoqin and Gu Jia couldn't help laughing out loud. The laughter instantly spread throughout the lecture hall. The students who were in class turned around to look over. The instructor who was calling the roll on the podium also looked at the last row and frowned slightly.
"What's going on?"
Seeing that they were in trouble, Zhong Xiaoqin, Wang Manni, and Gu Jia quickly shrank their necks, like ostriches, trying to hide. Looking at the three of them, the instructor said in a serious voice:
"Let me talk about you, the three behind you. You don't seem to be from our school, right?"
“I’m sorry!”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”
“I’m sorry!”
Seeing that they were discovered by the instructor, Gu Jia, Wang Manni, and Zhong Xiaoqin quickly stood up to apologize, and then fled in the eyes of the whole class. After watching the three of them leave from the back door of the lecture hall, the instructor continued to call out their names:
"Okay, let's continue with the roll call. Brigade Management Class 2, Duan Jiabao!"
"arrive!"
…
After running out of the lecture hall in one breath, Gu Jia, Wang Manni, and Zhong Xiaoqin walked to the stands of the school playground. Looking at the teachers and students running around the playground in groups of three or four, Wang Manni looked at Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin and smiled:
"Gu Jia, Xiao Qin, I'm going to the supermarket over there to buy two popsicles. I'll be back soon. You guys just wait for me here!"
"OK!"
The school supermarket is right next to the playground. Because there is an iron fence blocking the way, Wang Manni walked around half a circle, left the playground from the nearest exit, and then walked along the concrete road in the campus to the supermarket. The supermarket of South China University of Finance and Economics is built underground, just like a subway station underground. There is a staircase leading to the underground supermarket.
Looking at the cement stairs in front of her, Wang Manni lifted her hair and walked down the stairs in a pair of black high heels. At the same time, Yuan Xudong came out of the printing shop next to the underground supermarket to print the materials needed for the defense. The two met in the middle of the stairs and looked at each other. Looking at Wang Manni who was so close, Yuan Xudong slightly widened his eyes and said in surprise:
"Nini?"
