Back to the prime of life

Chapter 27 National Day
The military training lasts for two weeks. A week after it ends, National Day is coming soon.

Lu Changge lay in bed and thought about this chaotic month. Most of his memories were of military training, and the rest were of him eating many meals in the cafeteria with Secretary Yin.

Now everyone who knows them knows that they have a special relationship.

However, Lu Changge never confessed his feelings. Although there was a drastic change from high school to college, in terms of time, it had only been more than three months since the college entrance examination.

Three months ago, he was still deeply in love with Li Ruoqi.

Now he suddenly showed how much he liked Yin Anyan, and he was worried that Yin Anyan would think he was a frivolous person.

Apart from that, there is the matter of the factory.

Two days have passed and Zhou Chunjin still hasn't called him.

He decided to wait.

On September 9, Zhu Xingyu called him and asked if he had succeeded in pursuing Yin Anyan, and also said that he had succeeded in pursuing Fu Wenqian.

This kid is here to show off.

Another thing is to ask him to come home and play.

Lu Changge had no choice but to not reply this time.

At the end of the conversation, Zhu Xingyu told him that he heard from Yin Anyan’s good friend that Yin Anyan cried one night during military training.

It wasn't that someone bullied her, but she missed home and cried on the phone to her mother.

He really didn't know about this.

Although he also knew that many children who suddenly left home to go to college would be like this.

But he still wanted to comfort Secretary Yin, especially since she never showed any of this in front of him.

Lu Changge thanked Zhu Xingyu.

Then that night I asked Secretary Yin to go for a walk in the playground.

Yin Anyan's smile was bright and pure, making her lovable. The tight jeans accentuated her long and straight legs, and the jeans also made her hips look round.

For Lu Changge, there is an indescribable beauty in walking around the plastic track with the delicate and beautiful little girl in the evening when the sun sets.

"Are you going home for National Day?" the girl walked beside him, her steps brisk. She probably wanted to talk to someone she knew, someone who could ease her homesickness.

"No, didn't it just come out?"

"Ah, don't you miss home?"

"Yes," Lu Changge said truthfully. "When I came here for the first part of the semester, my dad told me that my mom cried because she couldn't bear to leave me. Now a month has passed, and she's probably just getting used to it. This time I go back, she'll cry again when I leave."

This also touched her a little, but she must have been deliberately hiding some of her emotions and changed the subject, saying, "Okay. Actually, it's my mom. She blamed me when school started. So let me ask you, if you go back together, come with me."

"Your mother again?"

"That's what she called."

"Okay." Lu Changge didn't ask any further questions.

"Then what can you do here?"

Lu Changge thought about what happened at Xingshan Station, but he couldn't tell anyone about it.

"I have an aunt who is also in Jiangzhou. She has called me many times since she learned that I came to this school. I will go visit my relatives during the National Day holiday."

"Why would relatives leave..."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Um, Secretary Yin, do you think the food in the school cafeteria is too bad? I'm craving Huaishui salted duck eggs. Can you go home and bring me some?"

Yin Anyan agreed readily after hearing this, "Okay, I know there's a place in the south of the city that sells delicious salted duck eggs."

"That's great. Also, if you see Zhu Xingyu, tell him that I'm working on what he told me."

She immediately became curious, "What's going on?"

"Just tell him so, and he'll understand."

"Still playing secretive? Are you sure you don't want to tell me?"

Lu Changge smiled meaningfully, but still didn't say anything.

Yin Anyan snorted softly, "Forget it if you don't want to talk about it."

But she finally said goodbye seriously, through QQ, and she said something very heartfelt, but she might have been embarrassed to say it in person.

She said: "It's great to meet you in college. At least I won't be so scared. Thank you."

Lu Changge replied seriously: "Companionship is always mutual. I am also very grateful to continue to meet you at Jiangzhou University of Science and Technology. I heard that meeting people is like meeting flowers. You don't need too many. Just one flower blooming in your heart is enough."

After reading it, Yin Anyan felt her face getting hot. Was this describing the relationship between friends? She felt that it was, and she shouldn't let her imagination run wild!

October 1st is here soon. Today is the first day of the holiday, but many people actually left yesterday afternoon.

So does Yin Anyan.

In dormitory 308, Lu Changge was the last to leave. He took a carton of milk and a bag of oranges to the school gate to wait for the bus. He really had to go visit relatives; his father had told him to, and his aunt had also called a few times to ask him to come.

At the bus stop, he met a half-familiar person, senior student Yu Na.

Yu Na contacted him several times but nothing happened, but she was generous and didn't care about those trivial matters. When they met, she still greeted him openly.

There was only one bench under the bus stop. Lu Changge sat there first. Yu Na arrived later and sat next to him after she found him.

"I see you didn't bring your suitcase, aren't you going back home?"

"Isn't it the same for you?"

Yu Na said: "My home is in Jiujiang District."

Lu Changge remembered, "Oh, yes, you are from Jiangzhou."

"You are so forgetful." Yu Na rolled her eyes at him and continued, "I saw you in the library recently. You were quite serious."

"Thank you for the compliment, Senior Sister. I have read some books on programming, but either my IQ is low or the people who wrote the books have low IQ, so I don't quite understand many parts." Lu Changge deliberately concealed the fact that he was looking for books on success.

In fact, he also needs to look at computer technology himself. He can't rely on stock trading forever.

Yu Na said, "Self-study is inherently difficult. Computers have a different set of logical language systems, so it's normal to feel uncomfortable. If you have any questions, you can come to me."

Lu Changge was a little skeptical and thought to himself, you are just a sophomore.

But it’s nice to have someone to ask, too much oil won’t ruin the food.

Thinking of this, he took out an orange from his bag and said, "Waiting is just like waiting, so let's eat an orange."

Yu Na gave him a sly look and said, "I felt you were a thief the first time I saw you. If I hadn't told you that you needed me for something, I really wouldn't have been able to eat your oranges today."

"Just keep this in mind."

"Haha. But you're giving this away as a gift, right? It's okay if I eat it?"

"It's okay, it won't be noticeable if there are two missing."

After that, the two of them sat next to each other and peeled the oranges and ate them.

"Oh, by the way, what club are you joining? Student Union?"

"I'm not interested in any of them." Lu Changge rejected them all.

"You're not interested?" Yu Na was surprised and started laughing at him. "Why do you look like an old man?"

Lu Changge did not deny it.

"Then you know that the school rule is that a student must join at least two clubs?"

"Rules are fixed, but people are alive. Senior, why don't you recommend two clubs where I only need to be a member, not actually be a member?"

Yu Na was convinced, "I shouldn't have eaten your orange."

"But you've already eaten."

"Of course, you, a junior, are playing with a senior." She pinched her waist to show her proud capital.

Lu Changge's eyes flashed, and he felt something was wrong.

Yu Na immediately realized her gaffe, coughed twice, and said, "Well, I'll ask you later if there's such a club."

Seeing him being humiliated, Lu Changge laughed, and she laughed too, and the embarrassment just now was swept away.

"Route 58, this is the bus I take," he said.

"Oh, I'm on bus 124. Bye, junior."

Yu Na watched him get into the car. After a few minutes, she sent a QQ message to Lu Changge, asking: The oranges are delicious. Where did you buy them?

Lu Changge replied: I didn’t buy it, it was given to me by a fellow villager from Huaishui County.

I thought it was over here. Unexpectedly, she continued to post: Junior Lu, did you get that girl from the School of Economics and Management?

School of Economics and Management? She must be talking about Yin Anyan.

Lu Changge: Not yet.

Yu Na: Let me know when you catch him.

Lu Changge: Okay.

Yu Na sighed helplessly when she saw the message. She didn't want to reply anything else. She just looked out of the bus, letting the street scene recede into the distance.
