On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

After Chen Mo sat down, Zhao Yuanyuan gave him a grateful look.

Her thanks were to Chen Mo for making Lin Yu'an a better person and for bringing Lin Yu'an to her side.

Although Lin Yu'an's family background wasn't great, he was very attentive, considerate, and gentle towards the people he liked. This alone made Zhao Yuanyuan realize that she hadn't chosen the wrong person.

As everyone took their seats, the familiar lively atmosphere quickly returned.

Huang Mao and Zhao Yueyue, this lively duo, naturally took charge of creating a lively atmosphere, and couldn't wait to start sharing their experiences of studying at a local university.

"Let me tell you, the male-to-female ratio at our engineering school is seriously imbalanced!" Huang Mao said with a laugh. "Walking down the street, all you see are plaid shirts and glasses! My three roommates now think even a female cat is pretty!"

His words elicited a helpless smile from everyone; this wasn't just a problem in one school, the whole country was out of balance.

Zhao Yueyue immediately chimed in, "Come on! Stop playing the victim. Last time I went to your school to find you, didn't a pretty girl ask you for directions? You were grinning so hard you were showing your teeth!"

Huang Mao immediately protested his innocence: "I was just trying to help others! Yueyue, you can't wrong me! I only have you in my heart... and the circuit boards in our department!"

He deliberately took a detour at the end, which made Zhao Yueyue playfully punch him. The two of them bickered and teased each other, just like the bickering couple from high school, only with a touch more intimacy between lovers in their interactions.

Zhou Hao and Qu Danwan also shared their recent updates.

Zhou Hao surprisingly got into a police academy. His daily training was tough, but he enjoyed it.

"Not bad, Haozi, you actually got in," Chen Mo praised.

"It's all thanks to you and Danwan for helping me catch up in the second half of the semester, otherwise I wouldn't have had this opportunity."

The main reason was that Zhou Hao's mindset underwent a huge change after he was publicly commended by the principal for catching the wanted criminal.

He discovered that eliminating harm for the people was a very great and glorious cause, which gave him the idea and belief to fight for it.

With this belief, and with the help of Chen Mo and Qu Danwan, he finally had the possibility of making progress!

"Although I've already been accepted, the academic courses in university are still a bit of a headache." He scratched his head, looked at Qu Danwan beside him, and said with a hint of dependence, "Thanks to Danwan, she helps me with my studies on her days off."

Qu Danwan smiled and said gently, "It's because you've worked hard enough. I'm just helping you organize the key points."

She was admitted to a good university near Zhou Hao's university.

They rented a small house off-campus and started living together. Although they initially used the excuse of encouraging each other to study, everyone knew what they actually did most of the time.

However, they weren't just using each other as an excuse to live together. They did support each other, and you can glean some insight from the warmth and happiness they showed in their conversations about their time living together.

Lin Yu'an and Zhao Yuanyuan were still relatively quiet, but the atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious.

When asked about his university life, Lin Yu'an smiled and said that he did quite well in computer science and even teamed up with classmates to participate in a small programming competition, where they achieved a good ranking. For the first time, a sense of confidence shone through his face as he spoke about his experiences, a stark contrast to his previous timid demeanor when discussing his grades.

Zhao Yuanyuan listened quietly from the side, occasionally adding a few words, her eyes filled with appreciation and encouragement as she looked at Lin Yu'an.

When Huang Mao teased them and asked how they got together, Zhao Yuanyuan readily admitted that she was the one who pursued Lin Yu'an. This was the first time they had talked about who pursued whom in public.

Hearing that Zhao Yuanyuan didn't care about such things at all, Lin Yu'an blushed and secretly held her hand tightly under the table, everything was understood without words.

Their feelings for each other flowed like a stream in early spring, clear, slow, and beautiful.

After everyone had talked about their own university experiences, they naturally asked about Chen Mo and Su Yuqing's life at Xiangchuan Medical College.

"Is your eight-year program incredibly busy?" Huang Mao clicked his tongue in amazement.

"It's alright, you'll get used to it." Chen Mo said casually, but everyone could see the hardships medical students faced from the occasional glances he and Su Yuqing exchanged.

Su Yuqing nodded in agreement and added, "The academic pressure is indeed considerable, but there are also many unforgettable experiences. For example, we met a group of very interesting new friends, and we went camping together in a place called Yunxijian. Watching the stars around the campfire at night was a wonderful experience."

She briefly described the campfire, the stream, and the tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of camping, which made everyone yearn for it.

“Next time there’s a national holiday, remember to contact us and take us with you!” Zhao Yueyue said quickly.

The others standing nearby also seemed somewhat expectant and echoed this sentiment.

"Sure, I'll contact you next time," Chen Mo replied with a smile.

"By the way, Brother Mo," Zhao Yueyue suddenly leaned closer as if she remembered something and asked curiously, "Yuqing told me that during the previous dorm social event, she met a super handsome guy who is your roommate. Can you show me what he looks like? Yuqing said she didn't want to reveal his privacy and wouldn't let me see."

Chen Mo couldn't help but chuckle, and took out his phone with a smile: "His name is Shen Xinghe, and he's... well, he's really outstanding in appearance. He's a model, so I'm not afraid to show you, but it's not really appropriate to post his private photos. I'll just show you what he looks like in magazines."

He found an inside page photo of Shen Xinghe in the magazine "Youth Charm"—the young man in the picture had features so exquisite that they transcended gender boundaries, with a cool and aloof gaze and an upright posture, showing a highly impactful androgynous beauty under the professional lens.

"Do you eat so well at university?!" Zhao Yueyue said enviously. "Why can't I get such good grades? I really want to go to your university too."

"Then you can still go back and repeat your senior year of high school," Chen Mo joked.

Zhao Yueyue immediately stuck out her tongue and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "Spare me! One experience of the hellish senior year is enough!"

As they chatted, they inevitably reminisced about their high school days.

Those days and nights spent struggling together, the laughter at birthday parties, and those innocent yet sincere feelings, the wonderful times of playing together—all of that is gone forever… Now we are scattered in different cities, walking different paths, but when we meet again, the friendship we shared as classmates remains as strong as ever.

"Time flies." While chatting and drinking, Zhao Yueyue suddenly put down her drink, rested her chin on her hand, and became unusually sentimental, her eyes slightly dreamy. "It feels like just yesterday we were wearing those ugly school uniforms, and in the blink of an eye, everyone has changed, growing up so suddenly." (End of Chapter)
