Otherwise, come to my place.

After settling the bill, he didn't return, but went straight downstairs.

Chen Xiao didn't care; in this life, he had long seen through Tan Cheng's true nature.

Saying she was a sycophant might be too strong, but it wasn't far off.

He went to the bar, grabbed a toothpick, and strolled back, picking his teeth.

He got a free meal, and it was even Tan Cheng's treat.

Although the ingredients weren't great, it felt incredibly satisfying to eat.

Returning to the dorm, a round of gossip was inevitable, but Chen Xiao casually brushed them off, and no one pressed him.

After all, everyone had things to do, like Xiao Ji's game and Liu Xin's stocks.

Chen Xiao smoked a cigarette and stood behind Liu Xin, watching; with 5,000 yuan in capital, he now had 3,000 left.

"Sigh."

He couldn't help but sigh; without some special ability, was this something ordinary people could touch?

Liu Xin said discontentedly, "Damn, what are you sighing about? Don't look at me losing money now, I'm not scared at all."

"Oh?" Chen Xiao was surprised, "How so? Do you think you can earn it back?"

Liu Xin had a confident expression, "No, I've already found a part-time job. I can earn back the money I lost, so what's there to be scared of?"

Chen Xiao: "......"

"Awesome."

"Who is the most invincible person in the stock market? It has to be someone like you, who isn't afraid of death. Who can stand that?"

"Get lost, if I lose it all, so be it. Anyway, I've already tried."

Chen Xiao wasn't entirely teasing him; he was happy that Liu Xin had this mindset.

This bastard didn't even get a girlfriend until he was over 30 in his previous life.

His career was even more of a mess.

It seemed that if he had time next semester, he could proactively arrange his life.

"You idiot, I didn't expect you to have such good fortune," Chen Xiao said out of the blue.

Liu Xin looked at Chen Xiao with an expression like he was looking at an idiot, "Is your damn brain fried?"

"Fried your grandpa, quickly look, the stock you bought, there's negative news about it again!"

Liu Xin: "......"

"Ah--!"

"Heavens!"

Xiao Ji said without turning his head, "Damn it, stop yelling, I can't even hear the footsteps of the enemy!"

......

A moment later, Liu Xin was againlie on the table, pulling his hair.

Chen Xiao laughed:

"Hahaha, anyway, you're already stuck. Let's go play mahjong at Xuelin Yayuan."

"Damn it, I'm not in the mood, don't bother me!"

Less than half an hour later,

Mahjong sounds echoed in Shen Jiancheng and Wu Ling's small home.

Liu Xin, with a cigarette in his mouth, picked at his foot and yelled with a grin:

"Damn it! I won, hand me a cigarette! Hahaha, oh ye ye, oh la la......"

Looking at the excited Liu Xin, Chen Xiao couldn't help but sigh inwardly, what an idiot!

After an afternoon of mahjong, Chen Xiao was the biggest winner.

Liu Xin was unconvinced, "Bastard, whoever wins treats."

"Hahaha, okay, I'll treat tonight, let's go."

Wu Ling said, "Let's eat at home, I'll cook, it saves money."

Liu Xin shouted, "Ling Jie, Xiao Zi is out carousing every other day now, and even supercars and beauties are chasing him to school. This son isn't short on money, let's eat him out of house and home."

Wu Ling looked over with a questioning gaze, and Chen Xiao laughed, "My son understands his dad best. Don't worry, Ling Jie, I'm quite well-off lately."

"See? Let's go, Ling Jie, let's eat this bastard out of house and home," Liu Xin egged her on.

"Well, alright then."

Wu Ling finally nodded.

The four of them came to the barbecue restaurant at the community entrance, and Liu Xin waved his hand, "Boss, 100 yuan worth of lamb skewers and two cases of beer."

After speaking, he looked at Chen Xiao provocatively, meaning to make him feel the pinch.

Chen Xiao smiled; to make him feel the pinch, he would probably have to treat everyone in the city to a meal.

The few of them ate and chatted about the endless interesting stories from school.

Xiao Ji alone contributed fifty percent of the fun at the table.

Unknowingly, the four of them had consumed over 20 bottles of beer.

The conversation also began to diverge.

Liu Xin asked, "Ling Jie, are you going to Shen Jiancheng's house after graduation? Or is Shen Jiancheng going to your house?"

Shen Jiancheng smiled and said, "I'm going to Ling Jie's house to herd sheep."

"Hmm, you can go raise horses, I'll give you a yurt," Wu Ling retorted.

"Hahaha, why think so far ahead? Let's live for today. Come, let's drink one," Shen Jiancheng said.

Chen Xiao sighed to himself; in his previous life, he had never considered what he would do after graduation until just before he graduated.

It wasn't until the night before the campus recruitment fair began that he frantically printed his resume.

Now in their second year, most people still thought time was slow, college was long, and there was no need to think about it yet.

But they didn't know that when graduation day arrived, looking back, they would realize that these four years had almost passed in an instant, and many things that couldn't be done became forever impossible.

With regret and confusion, they hastily integrated into the great melting pot of society.

Decades in the mundane world, wearing down the youthful spirit and ambitions of yesteryear, finally growing old ordinarily, ending this life......

This is probably the ultimate fate for most people.

......

"Oh, Chen Xiao, you're here too."

Suddenly, a beautiful woman bounced over from the doorway and put her arm around Chen Xiao's neck, saying.

Liu Xin and the other two instantly sobered up halfway.

They stared blankly at the campus belle-level beauty.

Chen Xiao: "Cough cough, frie, friend......"

"This is Yu Mengqi."

"Mengqi, these are my friends, Liu Xin, Shen Jiancheng, Wu Ling."

"Hi, nice to meet you all," Yu Mengqi greeted enthusiastically.

Liu Xin and the other two responded blankly, "He, hello."

Yu Mengqi turned to look at Chen Xiao and said coquettishly, "Are you staying tonight?"

"Hmm, you go eat with your friends first, I'll pay the bill later."

"Mwah~~~"

Yu Mengqi kissed him on the cheek, and then happily went to order food with her two best friends.

Liu Xin put down the wine glass he had been holding for a long time, "Holy crap, Xiao Zi, you're...... amazing!"

"Awesome, quickly tell us what happened?" Shen Jiancheng said.

Wu Ling was also full of curiosity.

"What's going on, Xiao Zi?"

"Cough cough." Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said, "That day I came back from outside, and someone asked for my number at the school gate, and then we made plans."

The three clearly didn't believe him.

"If you don't want to say, then don't. Anyway, congratulations, Xiao Zi, on finding a girlfriend."

"Come on, congratulations, Xiao Zi, on finding a girlfriend."

"Boss, two more kidneys, my brother needs to replenish himself," Liu Xin shouted.

"Damn it, get lost," Chen Xiao cursed with a laugh.

Beside them, Yu Mengqi's pretty face instantly turned red.

Her two best friends teased, "Mengqi, should we get some for you too?"

"Hmph, if you want to replenish yourselves, do it yourselves!" Yu Mengqi pouted.

......

Liu Xin and the others were almost finished eating, but with a beauty beside them, the three, for Chen Xiao's happiness, insisted on opening a few more bottles and drank until she had also finished eating, before they all left together.

Not far from the restaurant, the three of them abandoned Chen Xiao and ran off on their own.

Yu Mengqi came over and supported Chen Xiao, "Are they all your classmates?"

"Hmm, but they all think I'm just an ordinary classmate, you understand, right?"

"Oh, I understand, I'll keep it a secret," Yu Mengqi said.

"Mengqi...... Then we're going back to school, see you tomorrow," Mengmeng said.

"Ah? No! Come to my place, we agreed to go shopping together tomorrow."

"Uh, this......"

The two were quite awkward; the last incident was still vivid in their minds......
