"You're accompanying me to participate in a school performance. There should be a limit to spoiling me."

On the playground of a university in South Korea, Shirley and Chen Chen were walking in the night like a campus couple.

"I'm not here to watch the girls perform at the school. I'm here to experience the school performance." Chen Chen couldn't hide his excitement. "The university campus, the large-scale performance, the participation of many students, and the hidden guests, do you know how attractive these things are to me, who has never been to college?!"

"You Chinese seem to be obsessed with going to college. Is it my illusion? It seems that many Chinese people I meet are pursuing this."

Shirley nudged Chen Chen with her arm and asked curiously.

"It's not an illusion, I do have an obsession." Chen Chen suddenly sighed, "Everything is inferior except for reading. This is an ancient poem that has been passed down for thousands of years. Until now, it is still one of the most correct sentences in the hearts of Chinese people."

"And universities are considered top institutions of learning by most people. Do you think there can be no obsession?"

"Actually, it's the same in South Korea. People are working very hard to get into college." Chen Chen said with a smile, "I've seen many examples like this in the past few years."

"In fact, further study is just one path. Unfortunately, in South Korea, every path is competitive." Shirley pointed out some differences. "Here we start making social choices in high school, which is a little different."

"That's right." Chen Chen nodded and lost interest in the topic. He turned to look at Shirley and excitedly changed the topic, "Who do you think will be the mysterious guest tonight?"

"Who do you think it is?" Shirley asked back.

"If I knew, why would I ask you?" Chen Chen answered the rhetorical question with a counter-question, "I'm asking you because I don't know!"

"It's your baby girl group Integrate." Sulli was really speechless. "For a purely entertainment purpose, they definitely wouldn't invite some big names to give speeches. The ones going on stage must be entertainers. If we talk about the popularity in the industry recently, who can beat your girl group?!"

"Hey, don't say that. It makes Integrate seem like it's not your girl group!" Chen Chen blew his beard and glared at me. "You're trying to play that on me, right?!"

People passing by who heard this conversation thought they were two hysterical patients and walked away with disgust on their faces.

Integrate is our own, what are you talking about? It’s mine, it’s mine!
"Do you want to get a university diploma? You are the boss of a big company now, so it would be better if you get rid of this weakness." Shirley ignored Chen Chen's fierce reaction and suddenly thought of this, "With your status and position, you can get a very good diploma."

"Then the whole world will know that this diploma is given by my status and position, and it is useless." Chen Chen did not value this. "If I had obtained it when I was down and out, it would still be very valuable. Now it is really useless."

"It is something that is produced based on my status and position, so it is of no use to me."

"It's unlikely that someone will point at me and yell 'You're an illiterate boss who never went to college,'" Chen Chen couldn't help but laugh. "When someone really says something like that, he doesn't really care whether I went to college or not."

"Besides, if they can attack me so directly, they must have a better angle to step on me instead of using something so innocuous." Chen Chen looked at Shirley, "Does my analysis make sense?"

"You're talking too much nonsense." Shirley rolled her eyes. "Just do it if I tell you to. I'm not going to kill you! It's just something that comes to my mind!"

"Hehe, I have too many emotions today." Chen Chen scratched his head and said awkwardly: "Then let's make one. If there is a chance, make a good one."

……

The campus, the stage, the students, the performances, the wonderful university is indeed beautiful, and university life is indeed good.

Chen Chen was a little depressed, and he was depressed all the way back. "No, buddy, why is the response to "La Vie en Rose" so much better than that of "I AM"?!"

"If you like it, then you like it. There are people who like their own works. Maybe the next group of fans will like "I AM." Sulli has long been accustomed to it. "There are many cases in the industry where songs that you thought would never become popular become popular, and works that you thought were very good fail. It's nothing strange."

"Except you, of course." Shirley added: "You only distinguish between big fire and small fire."

"It's not like that anymore." Chen Chen shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Now in everyone's eyes, I am like a big fire equals a small fire, and a small fire equals putting it out. It's very exciting."

"You have nothing to be afraid of when you have the girls to support you." Shirley yawned and said nonchalantly, "At worst, I can just write songs for the girls in the future. Whatever they sing will become a hit."

"Your self-confidence is also starting to swell, right?" Chen Chen sighed, "It would be interesting if we get beaten up by Stupid Company at the end of the year."

"If he really could get hit and bleed, it wouldn't be just the idiot who had already confirmed his return schedule that he would get hit. No, it was clearly you who accelerated from behind and rear-ended him!" Shirley snorted in dissatisfaction. "If you ask me, wouldn't it be more shocking if several people suddenly appeared and stepped on Integrate? For such an opportunity to happen, it must be the three major ones coming together!"

"But there is a prerequisite for this matter, the prerequisite is that you can really hit it."

"It's not hard to step on Integrate. The question is whether he is willing to stroke your tiger's whiskers."

"Everyone knows that you, Chen Chen, are so precious to me. Doing this on purpose is just looking for excitement."

"If it's a fair fight, to be honest, no one knows for sure."

"Newcomers have their own unique bonuses, not to mention that Integrate is a first-rate newcomer."

"So the final result is that all comebacks that collide with Integrate will become proper comebacks. Winning is winning, losing is losing, and no one will be dissatisfied." Shirley sighed, "In a sense, it's a good thing for the circle. The circle has become more and more chaotic in the past two years."

Then Shirley looked at Chen Chen and couldn't help but sigh.

"But all this is based on the premise that you, Chen Chen, remain standing."

"Sometimes I feel a little sorry for you, carrying everything on your shoulders alone." Shirley put her hand on Chen Chen's with heartache, "I fully understand your idea of ​​wanting to retire at the age of 30. It's really too tiring."

Ah? Chen Chen, who was secretly touching Shirley's thigh, was suddenly stunned. So this is how he could explain his buddy's decision to retire at the age of 30 because he had run out of ideas?! Shirley, you are really a genius!
But Chen Chen was also somewhat touched.

A casual word from me could actually cause this woman to extend her feelings to this extent, and in the end the topic even turned to her feeling sorry for me. This is not something every woman can do for you.

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Chen slapped her thigh, quietly feeling the elastic flesh that kept rising and falling in accordance with his palm, and his heart actually felt a lot more at ease.

"I have my own fun."
