Stop giving me bad reviews, or I'll become the richest person in the world!

"Wake up, you're not allowed to sleep here!"

Wang Aiguo showed little empathy and splashed the ice-cold beer directly onto Da Lian's face, instantly sobering him up. Luckily, Ye Liangliang was a girl, so she didn't hit him too hard.

After waking up, Da Lian looked at Ye Liangliang with a blank expression.

"What just happened?"

"Don't ask. I'm afraid it will upset you. Losing to a girl is really not honorable. Alright, alright, stop talking and let Ye Liangliang continue."

Wang Aiguo interrupted Da Lian. Da Lian looked confused, not understanding what he meant, but still listened to Wang Aiguo. Ye Liangliang quickly continued speaking.

"High school days went by quickly, and two years flew by. Two years later, as expected, I didn't get into any of the top universities, but he did. He got into 211. And on the very day he got into 211, he came to confess his feelings to me."

Upon hearing this, Li Wenwen's eyes lit up again.

"How romantic! So you agreed, right? Wait, if you agreed, why are you here fooling around with me?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Liangliang glared at Li Wenwen.

"What do you mean by 'foying around with you'? Can't you use a more elegant word?"

Li Wenwen shrank her neck, looking a little embarrassed.

"I didn't agree, or rather, I couldn't agree. I know what kind of person I am. He's a graduate of a second-rate university with a bright future. How could he be with me?"

Who am I? You all know me, a "spoiled brat," bad at school and useless. Being around him wouldn't help him at all; it would only subject him to strange looks from others.

As they were talking, Ye Liangliang suddenly became excited. But just then, Wang Aiguo waved his hand and said to her.

"Maybe you used to be, but you're not anymore. Aren't you working steadily here with me now? Isn't that great? You're not some kind of 'exotic girl' anymore. You dress normally, you don't steal or rob, you live and earn your own living with your own hands. What's shameful about that?"

After Wang Aiguo said that, Ye Liangliang fell silent. After a long while, he finally spoke.

"But this is me now, not the me back then. Back then, I felt I wasn't good enough for him, so I rejected him. But he didn't give up; he said he would be with me no matter what."

Then I made a deal with him: I said if he graduated and still wanted to be with me, he shouldn't call or notify me; all he should do was hang a yellow handkerchief on his door when he got home.

Upon hearing the words "yellow handkerchief," Wang Aiguo suddenly recalled a film he had seen before, a film about ordinary life. Although the country depicted in "Little Days" was flawed, the film had still left a deep impression on him. He hadn't expected Ye Liangliang to use such a yellow handkerchief to decide his fate, which piqued Wang Aiguo's interest. This story was wonderful, so interesting.

Thinking of this, Wang Aiguo raised his glass and clinked it against Ye Liangliang's.

"No wonder. So he graduated this year? He's coming back? You're worried he's forgotten you, aren't you?"

Ye Liangliang remained silent, offering no answer. But her trembling hands told everyone the truth.

Seeing this, Wang Aiguo couldn't help but get excited.

"What else is there to say? Let's go, brothers! Let's eat and drink well tonight, and tomorrow we'll set off to take Ye Liangliang home!"

Before Ye Liangliang could react to Wang Aiguo's words, Li Wenwen and Da Lian excitedly raised their glasses.

"That's right, that's right, we'll go home with you!"

Seeing how excited the three of them were, Ye Liangliang quickly waved his hand.

"No, no, no, what if he rejects me? I...I..."

Ye Liangliang, usually a very outgoing girl, suddenly became shy and hesitant, even stuttering as she spoke. But the more she acted this way, the more determined everyone became to accompany her back home.

Wang Aiguo looked at Ye Liangliang firmly and said.

"You can doubt yourself, but I don't think you should doubt this guy. You should know that he didn't confess to you in high school, but chose to confess to you after he got into college, which means that he was mentally prepared and even knew everything about you."

And I believe this feeling won't be worn away by four years of schooling. Many people in society today have a strange idea: to study hard, leave their hometown, and go to a better city. When did our country's education system become about helping students escape their families of origin, their impoverished hometowns, and even their partners?

I believe in him. I believe he will still remember you after he finishes his studies. I even believe he is studying hard for you, and he is building a bright future for you both.

Wang Aiguo spoke with great passion, igniting a fire in Ye Liangliang's heart. At this moment, Li Wenwen also nodded in agreement.

"That's right, you have to believe in him. So go back and see, even if you lose, it's okay, we'll be with you. See, you still have us, don't you?"

At that moment, Ye Liangliang suddenly felt a lump in her throat. She really hadn't expected to meet a group of friends here who were like family.

Thank you!

Ye Liangliang raised her glass with red eyes, and the other three happily raised their glasses to clink with her.

Ye Liangliang slept terribly that night, his mood was very complicated. But the other three slept very well. The next day, when Ye Liangliang came downstairs with dark circles under his eyes, he saw Wang Aiguo and the other two carrying large bags and small packages.

As soon as Ye Liangliang came downstairs, Da Lian brought him a red hat and put it on Ye Liangliang's head.

Upon seeing the red hat, Ye Liangliang was taken aback. Then, turning his head, he discovered that Wang Aiguo and the other two were also wearing red hats, and Wang Aiguo was even holding a small red flag used by tour guides.

"Alright, tourists heading to Ye Liangliang's hometown, please note, we're about to depart!"

Ye Liangliang was completely bewildered by the sight of the three incredibly excited people.

"Why are you all so agitated about me going home?"

"It's not that I'm excited, it's just that it's a rare opportunity to travel. I'll pay for it, and it's nice for everyone to relax in a different place for a couple of days. As for you, don't put too much pressure on yourself. We're just going back to visit, and if it doesn't work out, we can treat it as a vacation. We can also visit your grandma and tell her that you have a stable job now, with room and board included."

After Wang Aiguo finished speaking, Ye Liangliang thought for a moment and finally nodded.

Soon the four of them arrived outside, and as soon as they got outside, they saw a very large business SUV parked at the door.

Without saying a word, Wang Aiguo pressed the remote control, and the SUV immediately flashed its lights.

Upon seeing this, Big Face exclaimed in surprise.

"Boss, you have a car? And such a big one at that?"

"Yes, I bought it last month. I think it would be more convenient to have a big vehicle if I occasionally have to travel long distances."

"You have such a nice car? Then you usually drive an electric scooter, living a nomadic life like a food delivery driver?"

"What do you know? This is called keeping your wealth hidden. Besides, gas prices are so high these days, and my car is all gas; every time I drive it, it's expensive!"

After saying that, Wang Aiguo walked to the back seat, opened the car door, and then gestured for Ye Liangliang to enter.

"Come on, our protagonist, please get in the car!"
