Rebirth: Rewriting Youth

Chapter 132 Meaning
Shen Yu returned to the dormitory and found Chen Zhuojun smoking alone on the balcony, looking not very good.Xu Xiang and Cao Zhixin were sitting quietly at their desks reading books.

Shen Yu wondered if Chen Zhuojun had some conflict with Tang Wenjun, so he curiously walked to Cao Zhixin, pointed at Chen Zhuojun and asked, "What is this guy doing? Is he broken up in love?"

Cao Zhixin explained with a smile: "No, yesterday was not the school anniversary. Their student union asked them to be volunteers to receive students. That's it when they come back."

Shen Yu became even more confused when he heard this, and said, "Did you offend someone?"

Cao Zhixin said with a smile: "No, I must have been a little stimulated. I guess I want to be an outstanding alumnus in the future."

Shen Yu nodded. At this moment, Chen Zhuojun also walked in. Seeing Shen Yu and Cao Zhixin getting together, he smiled and asked, "What are you two talking about?"

Cao Zhixin returned with a smile: "I'm talking about you."

"Talk about me? Why are you talking about me?" Chen Zhuojun returned to his seat, took out his bench and sat down.

Shen Yu leaned on Cao Zhixin's desk and said, "Why are you so depressed when you attend a school anniversary?"

Chen Zhuojun sighed and said, "Do you know what I've been thinking about the most these days?"

Before the two of them could answer, Chen Zhuojun continued: "I'm thinking, ten or 20 years from now, when the school celebrates its anniversary, will we be qualified to come back, or will we have the courage and status to come back to participate in the school anniversary?"

Hearing this, Cao Zhixin said with a smile: "What's the point? Come back and play if you want. The security won't stop you."

Chen Zhuojun frowned and said, "You don't understand."

Cao Zhixin smiled and said nothing, and Shen Yu didn't interrupt either.

Chen Zhuojun continued: "The conference hall I was in was full of outstanding alumni of the school. Do you know what the standard of excellence is? I didn't know it before I went there, but I understood it later. The alumni who returned to school all scored a certain number. Students of all levels and those who are doing well are invited back by the school. They are mainly received by the teachers and leaders and go to the conference room to make reports. Others are just wandering around the school and finding students to entertain them."

Shen Yu said with a smile: "Isn't this what society is like? Let alone the school anniversary, when you graduate, your class reunion will be like this."

Cao Zhixin looked at Shen Yu in surprise. When Chen Zhuojun heard what Shen Yu said, he couldn't help sighing and said: "I have talked a lot with a senior who is staying in school these two days. To put it bluntly, after graduation, we will measure our success. It’s not about morality or character. It’s about how much money we have, how big an official we are, or whether we are famous.”

Chen Zhuojun kept talking all by himself, as if he had been holding back a lot of things and wanted to express them.

No one else in the dormitory interrupted. I don't know what other people thought. Anyway, Shen Yu didn't take it seriously, and he didn't care about Cao Zhixin, let alone Xu Xiang who didn't care about anything.

Shen Yu knew that this was the most realistic side of this society.Shen Yu, who had participated in a ten-year high school class reunion in his previous life, was insensitive to the phenomenon of doing all kinds of dirty things under the pretext of a so-called class reunion with ulterior motives.

Extending to distorted social phenomena, everyone is fighting.Fighting for interests, positions, and money.After all, people may be pursuing two things throughout their lives. The first is a sense of value, and the second is a sense of belonging.The sense of value comes from the recognition of society, which is the so-called face, and the sense of belonging comes from being loved.

If it were Shen Yu in his previous life, he would definitely agree with Chen Zhuojun's idea.But now Shen Yu thinks, why do we have to think about the meaning of life?As a person who has died once, Shen Yu feels that life may have no meaning. As long as he lives in what he likes, why should he care what other people think?
It seems that the Chinese are always pursuing the meaning of doing things, emphasizing guilt-based education, and even write down their thoughts after watching a movie.But not everything is meaningful. In life, you don’t have to do what the world thinks is meaningful. Meaning is given by yourself.Although one should achieve something in life, achievement does not necessarily mean having a nice car, a mansion, or being rich.

Shen Yu feels that people have to be more transparent throughout their lives. At least in today's high-pressure and anxious era, it would be good to be able to give yourself some relaxation and elegance, and give your loved ones some protection.

Chen Zhuojun was still immersed in his own world there, but Cao Zhixin said to Shen Yu with a smile: "I heard that the Dakeng Market is going to be demolished. I wonder if the tenderloin pancake you bought last time is still there. "

Shen Yu heard this and said curiously: "Is this going to be demolished? So soon?"

When Xu Xiang heard the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but turn around and ask: "Where are they going to move?" Cao Zhixin said: "Yes, some merchants have already started to move. I heard that they will move to Dacheng Trading and Go to the second-floor bay in Aishang Street."

Shen Yu said with a smile: "Then I have to go there more times in the past two days. After the move, I don't know if the food will still have the same taste."

Cao Zhixin also agreed and said: "Indeed, go shopping quickly, many stalls will be gone in the future."

Xu Xiang silently read the book again. Shen Yu nodded and said, "I haven't eaten the spicy chicken fried rice over there a few times." At this point, Shen Yu rubbed his chin and suddenly said, "Now It’s not even 10 o’clock, how about we go shopping now and get some midnight snacks?”

"What?"

Cao Zhixin and Chen Zhuojun raised their heads.

"Is it too late?" Cao Zhixin said.

"Why are you late? There is a car in Shenyu. It won't take a minute to hit the accelerator. Besides, this is a late night snack, so leave quickly." Chen Zhuojun suddenly became interested.

"Car?" Xu Xiang whispered in surprise.

"Okay, then let's go." Cao Zhixin couldn't help but nodded when he saw the two of them ready to make a move.

"Xu Xiang, stop looking at this. Let's go together." Shen Yu called to Xu Xiang who was reading a book at the side.

"I won't go, you can go." Xu Xiang refused.

"Let's go, let's go, I'll treat you to the dormitory activities." Shen Yu walked over with a smile and took Xu Xiang's arm.

Upon seeing this, Cao Zhixin also persuaded with a smile: "That's right, it's rare to be together, so we can go shopping together without eating."

Xu Xiang said hurriedly: "Wait, let me put on shoes first." After saying that, he put on his shoes and took out his wallet from the closet and took it with him.

Seeing that Xu Xiang agreed, Shen Yu said with a smile: "Hurry up. I'll wait for you at the door. I'll call Li Feifan." After that, he turned around and went to bed A.

The door of dormitory A was ajar, and the four people inside were quietly reading books or playing with their mobile phones at the desk.Shen Yu stood at the door and knocked on the door. He stuck his head in and said to Li Fanfa who was looking over: "Feifan, let's go out."

When Li Feifan heard this, he immediately closed his book in surprise. Without asking anything, he simply picked up his wallet and cell phone and went out.

Everyone chatted and laughed as they went downstairs, piled into Shen Yu's car and drove to Dakeng Market.
