I'm a junior in college this year, and I've linked my fishing check-in system.

Dai Zhenli's geography grades were not ideal.

……

On Saturday afternoon, Jiang Qian and Dai Zhenli's date began at Wenyuan Talent Apartment.

It ended at 4 PM.

Jiang Qian stared at the dessert shop in front of him. He had spent the entire afternoon trying to comfort his directionally challenged senior, but...

"So you mean, my senior," Jiang Qian looked at the dessert shop in front of him speechlessly, "you ride around on an electric bike, passing by your own home three times without going in."

"We set off at 2 PM, and you didn't arrive until almost 5 PM... To be honest, it should only be an hour's ride here..."

Dai Zhenli stuck out his tongue and chuckled.

She may be a little bad at directions, but she's not this bad at directions; she's clearly been hugged around the waist and her brain has shut down.

But she dared not say this to Jiang Qian, for if she did, she would lose the initiative and could only accept her identity as someone who had no sense of direction.

"Let's go eat hot pot."

There are no dessert buffets around now. Although there's a long queue at Zhang Fuji at this time, it's still Lao Li's friend's shop, so you can just ask and get in.

Zhang Fuji is a hot pot restaurant similar to Haidilao. Last time, the pet hospital owner, Sun Dafu, invited them to go, but they couldn't make it. Now, they finally have the chance to come.

When Jiang Qian arrived at the door, he found himself running into several acquaintances.

"Holy crap..."

He silently thought to himself, "What a coincidence!"

I was just saying that I couldn't possibly run into someone I knew, but I actually did.

—Why is the BYD research group being refreshed here?

Jiang Qian didn't really care. He looked around for a moment and found that Yang Wensu wasn't there. Although the other members of the research group would obviously follow Yang Wensu on the surface, those who know, those research groups are like husband and wife teams. The more disgusting the teacher is, the more united the students are. In reality, the only one who really goes along with Yang Wensu is probably Li Jing...

He said with a smile, "It's been a long time, everyone."

How have you been lately?

"Is my data useful?"

He was being sarcastic, of course. He knew Yang Wensu didn't like queuing and was probably up to no good somewhere right now, so he was just trying to disgust her by shouting.

As Wang Shixiong went up to talk to Jiang Qian, Dai Zhenli stood to the side, looking at Jiang Qian with a gentle expression.

Several members of the research group were somewhat envious.

As they listened to Jiang Qian recount his experiences over the past two days and looked at the people around him, they felt a pang of envy.

She's so beautiful.

Normally, Dai Zhenli would deliberately conceal her appearance at school, but at this moment, she looked absolutely stunning.

But at this moment, she was actually with Jiang Qian. Women dress up for those they love, and they could all see what was going on. Several people felt a little envious.

After finishing their conversation, Senior Brother Wang remained silent for a moment, then looked at Jiang Qian and then at Dai Zhenli, and said sincerely, "The two of you are really a perfect match."

Jiang Qian and Dai Zhenli avoided eye contact, both blushing slightly.

Looking at their expressions, Senior Brother Wang smiled slightly and said, "Alright, alright, I won't disturb your date any longer."

Both of them blushed slightly. Jiang Qian decided to take direct action, grabbing Dai Zhenli's long sleeve with one hand and pulling her inside!

But just then, he heard a voice call out, "Jiang Qian?"

Jiang Qian was stunned, turned around and exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

Isn't this Brother Wang from the day we fished for the Yangtze giant softshell turtle?

[AAA Reagent Brother Wang], ever since he caught the Yangtze giant softshell turtle, he hasn't dared to brag to me anymore. But you know, men have four great bonds of friendship: fighting side by side, crossing rivers together, studying together, and so on...

Brother Wang laughed heartily and said, "You finally have a moment where you look like a college student!"

He was referring, of course, to Jiang Qian and Dai Zhenli's youthful appearance. Dai Zhenli's face turned even redder, and Brother Wang chuckled:

"Your girlfriend?"

Jiang Qian stood there stunned, watching his malfunctioning state. Brother Wang was very satisfied:

"Yes, yes, that's the expression! That's it!"

The research group members were stunned and looked at Jiang Qian's actions. Senior Brother Wang was even more surprised.

But Jiang Qian didn't notice and asked:

"Brother Wang? What are you doing here?"

"I came to find my colleague after get off work, but he's already inside. This place is owned by Sun Dafu, so we just eat here. That guy's a nouveau riche with too much money..."

How did you know I ate fourteen pounds of black carp this morning?

"Who asked you?"

Jiang Qian spoke casually, but on the other side, he gave the research group a little shock.

Brother Wang!

What is this term?

The senior doctors present had sharp eyes.

The man in the black hoodie was clearly one of the shareholders of Alerned Pharmaceuticals, a true industry bigwig.

They never expected that Jiang Qian could chat and laugh with this person so easily!

If that's the case, then Jiang Qian's status would be similar to this person's...

The senior PhDs were still somewhat shaken, thankful that they hadn't bullied Jiang Qian back then.

But why did Jiang Qian work so diligently in the research group for a year before?

Could it be?

The group exchanged glances, and they all understood!

At the same time, I felt a deep sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a complex emotion encompassing both emotion and feeling), realizing that it was only a couple of days before Lao Yang was completely purged...

Yang Wensu arrived quickly in the private room. Before she arrived, most people didn't dare to start eating; they only dared to order after seeing her.

She didn't feel uncomfortable anywhere, muttering, "They got seats so quickly today?" as she sat down. The others, however, looked at her with suspicion and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Has something happened?"

Dare not say.

The group exchanged glances, hesitant to speak. Li Jing stood up and said, "It's nothing..."

Yang Wensu shook his head, "It's nothing, so forget it."

"Come on, let's continue."

Senior Brother Wang glanced at the arrogant and domineering Yang Wensu, and then thought of Jiang Qian and Dai Zhenli from earlier. They both pretended to be experienced, but in reality, they blushed when teased.

Suddenly, I realized how wonderful it is to be young, and I thought to myself, "Good people really do get good rewards."

"I never imagined that Junior Brother Jiang would have such abilities."

"I hope Junior Brother Jiang can find his own happiness."

Upon learning that President Wang was nearby, Yang Wensu urged him to take the lead in offering toasts. He thought about his own life; he didn't feel it was particularly difficult. He stood up and offered the toasts.

"Mr. Wang, thank you so much for your support in publishing this article in the major journal. Let me toast you!"

Brother Wang was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Oh, you're being too polite!"

"There's no need to be so formal. After all, I'm also Jiang Qian's friend, and I'm not much older than you. If you keep this up, it'll make our relationship awkward."

Senior Brother Wang was stunned.

……

And the two-seater by the window.

Jiang Qian and Dai Zhenli were each eating hot pot on one side, ordering their broth. Dai Zhenli asked, "What kind of broth do you want?"

Jiang Qian thought to himself, how could he lose his manly prowess at a time like this? He knew Dai Zhenli was from Sichuan, so he said, "I'll eat whatever you eat!"

Dai Zhenli chuckled, "This shop has couples."

"I'd like a mushroom hot pot, please."
