No matter what Chen Xi intended to do, for now, Chen Qinglin was still the man she couldn't have.
After saying goodbye to the wealthy young woman, Chen Qinglin headed straight for… another girls' dorm.
Since he was already there, he might as well bring Li Wanru to the gathering.
After all, Yun Tao’s tricks were all learned from Chen Qinglin.
So, what more needed to be said about Chen Gou's intentions?
Twenty minutes later, Li Wanru, with a charming smile, held Chen Qinglin’s arm.
“Is it really okay for me to go to your gathering?”
Chen Qinglin subtly rolled his eyes.
You, Miss, are already here, and you’re asking this now?
Heh heh, what a hypocritical woman.
“It’s fine, Old Bi also brought his girlfriend.”
“Hehe, alright then.”
Walking along the tree-lined path, Li Wanru was very happy, as she could finally declare her sovereignty.
Chen Qinglin was also very happy; after all, her waist was so slender… ahem, her dress was very beautiful.
Amidst their chatter and laughter, they arrived at the barbecue stall.
The moment they saw Li Wanru, the guys from 303 let out a collective wail.
“Sixth Brother, Old Bi isn’t human, and you’re a real dog.”
“Yeah, I wish I had known; I would’ve called my girlfriend too.”
“Sigh, you can still call now, but what about me?”
“Damn it, we have to get both of them drunk later.”
Among the guys from 303, Fifth Brother Deng Quan usually had the best temper, but this time he was also angry.
He pointed at Chen Qinglin and Yun Tao, deliberately emphasizing his words.
“Exactly, we must ‘really’ get them drunk.”
Li Wanru was still a bit too innocent; she didn't understand the dangers of society.
“Huh? Why do they say ‘really get them drunk’? Is there such a thing as fake drunkenness?”
In an instant, the gazes of the beasts from 303 towards Chen Qinglin were practically murderous.
What a beast! How could he lay a hand on such an innocent little white flower?
“Sixth Brother, you… I’m impressed.”
“Hiss… too despicable, too despicable.”
“Hehe, don’t mind them.”
Chen Qinglin had thick skin and didn't care about the guys' mockery.
“They’re just jealous that I have such a beautiful girlfriend.”
“Huh? You… don’t talk nonsense, there are other people here.”
A blush crept across Li Wanru’s face, and she lightly punched Chen Qinglin.
“If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll ignore you.”
The guys from 303??? Why did they feel a bit full?
To ensure the gathering went smoothly, Zhang Haiyang had no choice but to interrupt their public display of affection.
“Hehe, sister-in-law, what would you like to eat?”
“What do you want to eat?”
Li Wanru took the menu, and the first thing she did was look at Chen Qinglin.
“We’ll be drinking later, so how about I order you a roasted bun?”
“Hiss…”
Chen Xue, observing coldly, gasped.
Oh no, Chen Xi had met a true rival.
What man wouldn't be smitten by such a gentle and considerate girl?
If it were her, she would definitely choose Li Wanru.
Chen Xue was right.
Li Wanru’s words instantly made all the men present’s hearts ache.
This Chen Qinglin truly deserved to die.
Why do such good girls always encounter scumbag ?
Bang!
Sensing the awkwardness, Chen Qinglin quickly opened a beer.
He opened a bottle of beer and decisively changed the subject.
“Come on, brothers, let’s toast to our vibrant youth, embarking on a distant voyage through the mountain of books.”
The guys from 303 were still feeling down and ignored him completely.
But who was Chen Qinglin? When it came to encouraging drinking, he had practiced for over a decade in his past life.
How could such a small matter stump the sales champion?
Ignoring the few guys, Chen Qinglin chugged his beer.
“Come on, let’s toast to the morning classroom, where hope flows from our pen tips.”
“A third toast to the classroom lights, illuminating our quest for knowledge.”
After three beers, the expressions of the guys from 303 kept changing.
From initial disdain, to reminiscence, then to melancholy.
It was graduation season, and everyone sitting at the barbecue stall were students about to part ways.
Not only the guys from 303, but the other customers at the tables also gradually quieted down.
At the entire stall, only Chen Qinglin raised his glass again.
“Come on, brothers.”
“A fourth toast to the blackboard’s handwriting, filled with youthful dreams.”
“Cheers!”
Just like the young students, full of youthful vigor, commanding with passion.
The resounding roar, filled with momentum, made everyone’s blood boil.
Whether it was Li Wanru, Chen Xue, or anyone else, they were all equally infected.
Those who drank and those who didn't, all raised their glasses.
“Cheers!” * 30.
“Haha, that was invigorating.”
“Haha, brother, you’re awesome, you spoke right to my heart.”
“Awesome.”
After a few beers, Chen Qinglin finally felt young again.
Looking at his equally spirited classmates, he had only one thought.
To hell with work, to hell with making money.
I've been reborn, and I'm going to enjoy myself.
“Haha, come on, a fifth toast to standing shoulder to shoulder on the sports field, chasing the setting sun, cheers!”
“Cheers!” * 35.
“A sixth toast to the yellowing leaves, the years etched with poetry, cheers!”
“Cheers!” * 40.
“A seventh toast to the scratches on our desks, hiding youthful recklessness.”
“Cheers!” * 45.
“An eighth toast to the summer sports field, cicadas chirping with the scent of books.”
“Cheers!” * 50.
“A ninth toast to winter morning runs, our breath condensing into frost.”
“Cheers!” * 55.
Without Chen Qinglin even needing to call out, more and more people voluntarily joined the revelry.
After each toast, the sound of “Cheers!” grew louder and louder.
Soon, the cheers echoed through the sky.
Stimulated by the alcohol, Chen Qinglin became increasingly excited.
Suddenly, he pulled Li Wanru into his arms, laughing wildly with all his might.
“Haha, brothers.”
“A tenth toast to that girl, unforgettable for a lifetime.”
“Good…”
“Oh…”
“Cheers!” * 70.
We shall soar high, intercepting stars, holding the moon, chasing the sunlight.
At this moment, Chen Qinglin perfectly embodied what it meant to be young and full of spirit.
In Li Wanru’s eyes, this man was glowing.
A woman's adoring gaze is the most potent catalyst for a man's ambition.
At this moment, Chen Qinglin forgot what it meant to lie flat, forgot what it meant to be low-key.
He pounded on the table, roaring.
“Youth has its own wildness, a heart like the scorching sun, I’ll brave all difficulties and obstacles…”
“Today, I am the only young man…”
The tune was off, his voice hoarse, but it didn't diminish the song's infectious power in the slightest.
Gradually, the sound of banging on tables grew louder, and everyone started humming along.
By the time Chen Qinglin sang the second verse, the song no longer needed him.
The chorus of dozens of students was deafening… Ten minutes later, Chen Qinglin had had his fill of madness and finally deigned to sit down.
“Haha, that was invigorating.”
Seeing Chen Qinglin swaying slightly, Li Wanru, forgetting her shyness, directly put her arm around his shoulder.
“You… would you like to eat something?”
“Hehe, you feed me.”
“I… okay…”
On a beautiful night, flowers understand words, and with a raised hand, the wine glass overflows.
Such deep affection from a beauty, how could he let it down?
Taking advantage of Li Wanru helping him light a cigarette, Chen Qinglin gave her a fierce kiss.
“Little girl, will you follow your old man from now on?”
“Okay.”
Chen Qinglin looked at the girl carefully for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.
“Hahahaha, that’s right! Come on, brothers!”
“Another toast to the summer of graduation, tears wetting our shoulders.”
“Another toast to youth that never ages, stories forever bright.”
“Another toast to many years from now, still well and unharmed.”
