Chapter 38: Youth Campus Chapter 11

  On the day of the school anniversary, Yan Yu woke up very early and wanted to sleep a little longer, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter what, so he simply got up.

  After washing his face and brushing his teeth, he shaved his beard, then opened the wardrobe, faced a row of suits, but was again in trouble about which one to wear.

  The satin surface looks frivolous and lacks dignity.

  Pure black is too rigid and lacks vitality.

  The dark stripes are okay, but the brand is too loud, afraid of being suspected of showing off wealth.

  This retro-style one is good-looking, but it's a bit too showy.

  Oh no! Which one should I wear?! Why didn't I think of having a custom-made set earlier?!

  What to do without clothes! So pitiful!

  Yan Yu rolled back onto the bed and turned over.

  Forget it, we're not relying on clothes, if you have a face, you have a figure, wearing anything can kill instantly. After figuring it out, he finally took out a set of business attire and changed into it, then struck several poses in front of the mirror with satisfaction, and swaggered out the door.

  He didn't catch much of the meeting that morning, for the first time he felt that the heads of various departments were so garrulous, every question had to be repeatedly entangled for a long time, and it was not good manners to pat his butt and leave, so he could only patiently listen. Finally, after all the agenda items had been gone through, it was already 12 o'clock in the afternoon.

  "Dismissed!"

  After announcing the end with a sigh of relief, seeing that several principals seemed to want to discuss further, he hurriedly winked at the secretary and slipped away quickly.

  You stay here, I'll be right back.

  The secretary nodded and walked towards those few people.

  "Hey, Monkey, I'm on my way, I'll be there soon. Where are you guys?" He gave his good buddy Monkey a call on the road.

  "Hey, my old classmates! I'll come find you guys in a bit. Remember, Class 3(1) is on the fourth floor of Wenhua Building, all the way to the east. My youth was spent there, bro. Alright, that's it, gotta go drive."

  The monkey returned to F city after graduation and became the sales manager of a certain company with his three-inch tongue, mixing quite well. The two would often make an appointment to drink some wine and play cards, so their relationship was still very close.

  The original iron quadrangle was left with only the two of them, and thinking about it is a bit sad. Shi Tou joined the army and rarely came back, Pang Zi was never seen, he and Hou Zi saw each other relatively often, but when it was his turn to invite, every time there were all sorts of reasons why they couldn't make it, after graduation until now, the number of times they've met can be counted on one hand.

  Oh, right, now the fatty can't be called fatty anymore. He's got eight-pack abs and a physique that rivals a fitness coach, plus he's originally tall and looks good. I heard many people say he has the potential to be a male model. Monkey gets jealous every time this is brought up, saying that back in the day, he was at least the second most handsome guy in their little group (Stone Face had acne, Fatty had extra meat), but now one of them lost weight and the other's skin improved, becoming the beloved Brother Soldier, while he remained unchanged and became the bottom of the barrel.

  It's also proved the popular saying "fat guys are potential stocks". In recent years, Xiao Han, also known as fat guy, not only lost weight but also surprised many friends with his career success. A software he developed in college was sold at a good price, and with this entrepreneurial fund, he founded an internet company with several friends, then expanded into online gaming and e-commerce, making a fortune. Even outsiders like me often hear about him, which shows his ability and status in the industry.

  Fewer and fewer people call him "Fatty", most of them respectfully address him as "Director Xiao".

  But it's not clear if he had offended him somewhere, as they were still very close during the first and second years of high school. Starting from the second semester of sophomore year, however, Fatty seemed to be intentionally avoiding him, although on the surface they remained polite and courteous. When asked, Monkey said that he was probably just being paranoid, but he didn't dare ask directly, and always felt like there was some kind of rift between them. These past few years, they had also kept missing each other due to various reasons, with Monkey jokingly referring to them as "Wang not seeing Wang".

  Park the car and glance at the flowers on the back seat. It's probably not suitable to take them out now, so just leave them there for the time being.

  Although in a city, these years busy with studies and career, this is still the first time back after graduation.

  The overall campus has not changed much. The basketball court where we used to practice hard, the wall that my brothers and I climbed over at midnight, the teaching buildings and dormitories that we ran in and out of every day, even the auntie who sold snacks in the small shop, are all still the same.

  Along the stairs, all the way is a familiar scene, but the faces coming and going around me are all strangers.

  Those wearing school uniforms, radiating youthful energy, are students in school. Their faces reflect the pure innocence and freedom of their age. Some even enthusiastically greet you with a "Hello, senior".

  Wearing suits and leather shoes, their eyes are filled with emotions and nostalgia. They should be fellow alumni returning to school like him. When they brush past each other, everyone would smile and nod in greeting.

  At the end of the corridor, footsteps suddenly became heavy and couldn't move forward, maybe it's the fear of returning home.

  The sign on the door has been changed and it is no longer Class 3 (1). Year after year, I don't know how many children have spent their youth here.

  This building is also quite old, it should have been renovated, but the years of wear and tear are still visible. Why not take some time, spend some money, and build another one for the kids?

  "Yan Shuai, you're here, why don't you come in? Everyone is thinking of you!" A voice that had not appeared in his memory for a long time suddenly interrupted his contemplation. Taking a closer look, oh my god! Isn't this Baozi? The man who used to be so masculine now has big wavy hair and is wearing seductive makeup.

  "What's wrong, don't you recognize me? It's just a change of style, not plastic surgery. Do you all have to react like this? You look like you've seen a ghost! Fine, I admit it, I got breast implants."

  "Ah! Finally admitted it, I said so, even if development is late, it's not possible to change from A to C after 18 years old!"

  "Are you looking for death, dead monkey!"

  "Haha!" "You're done for, Monkey." "I'm just curious which man made you change so much. When are you going to bring out that mouth of yours and show it off to everyone?" "Be careful not to knock over the textbooks of your junior classmates!"

  Everyone burst out laughing and joking around, as if they had suddenly gone back seven years. Yan Yu also couldn't help but laugh.

  Hugged and shook hands with everyone, except for the common monkeys.

  After searching again and again, it was finally confirmed that Sulolo was not inside.

  It's also, with her current identity, not suitable for appearing here, this afternoon, should be able to see.

  "What's the matter, Zhou Xiaomeng didn't come. I heard she went abroad for an academic exchange with her husband. A bookworm is a bookworm after all, and I heard they're both Ph.D.s now. But since they're already married, you shouldn't have any hopes either." The monkey saw him looking around and thought he was searching for Zhou Xiaomeng.

  Yan Yu knew he was misunderstood, but didn't explain and just smiled. As for Zhou Xiaomeng, he had really let go, but because he had been single all these years, his friends around him thought he couldn't forget his old love, and from time to time they would advise him, making him very helpless, and it wasn't good to explain, anyway, explaining wouldn't make anyone believe.

  As for Su Luo, he himself was unclear about what kind of emotions and feelings he had towards her, only knowing that he would always be checking on her news, wanting to see her yet fearing to see her.

  "Children, all come back! Let the teacher take a good look!" Suddenly, a figure appeared at the door, it was their class teacher, Li, who had just finished receiving other students.

  "Teacher Li!" Everyone rushed over together.

  "You've all grown up! It's great, really great! Seeing you all so successful, I'm truly delighted!" Ms. Li was momentarily overcome with emotion, her eyes reddening as she hastily removed her glasses to wipe them clean, not wanting to lose composure in front of everyone. Having taught many classes over the years, each one had been dear to her, but this particular class left a particularly deep impression. Apart from producing Yan Yu, Xiao Han, and Su Luo Luo, who were all extremely successful and well-known in their respective fields, students like Zhou Xiaomeng, Chen Jinsong, and Wang Xiaojun (Houzi) were also outstanding, and her pride. Especially after that incident, it had a profound impact on her educational philosophy, making it unforgettable for the rest of her life.

  "The time is almost up, let's go to the grand auditorium, the outstanding alumni speech is about to begin. Our class has Xiao Han and Yan Yu, the teachers are all basking in your glory." After chatting with the old friends, Teacher Li remembered the main event.

  "Isn't Su Luo here? I really want to see her, our whole family is now a fan of hers, she's the pride of our school and also the pride of F city." A classmate said excitedly, asking exactly what Yan Yu wanted to ask.

  "Yeah, I was just about to say that, where's Su Luo Luo? This time I even brought a task with me, I heard that I and Goddess Su were high school classmates, many people around me asked me for autographs, can't push them away."

  "It's like this, the school leader had an emergency meeting yesterday and decided to cancel Luo Luo's speech this afternoon. Because they didn't do a good job of keeping it confidential beforehand, the news that she was coming back to her alma mater got spread around, and apparently many fans were planning on coming to 'cheer her on'. Since the school is completely open to the outside today, out of safety considerations, they had no choice but to abandon this arrangement."

  Upon hearing the news, not just Yan Yu, but many people felt a great sense of loss. Over the years, that former classmate who had been with them for three years, day in and day out, had become increasingly distant in their world, to the point where they had all forgotten about his past misdeeds, leaving only admiration and reverence. They had originally thought that this time they would be able to exchange a few words or even take a photo together, so that when they returned home, they could boast to their friends and family.

  "Don't be discouraged, everyone. The evening's cultural performance will go on as usual. As long as you have a ticket to enter, we won't have to worry about outsiders sneaking in. Then, we'll get to see Luo Luo." The class teacher announced this news, seeing that everyone was feeling down, and indeed, everyone's mood lifted a bit.

  It's okay, it's okay. Yan Wei let out a sigh of relief, if not for this school anniversary celebration, he was afraid that he would never have the courage to see Su Luo again. Heaven, no, should say is the school leadership, after all did not thoroughly cut off his thoughts, if missed this opportunity, really do not know if there will be another chance in the future.

  He really wanted to see her! At this moment, his emotions had reached a boiling point, so strong that he himself was a little scared.
