New Century Anime Warrior

Si Hua's mind was a bit blank; the three pillars of the instant noodle army had all stayed up all night yesterday to prepare for the college entrance exam.

He also brought along a dozen or so former Lexus classmates who hadn't yet returned to their hometowns and who were usually well-behaved.

Seeing the lively atmosphere, the wealthy Lin Lin simply booked a high-end internet cafe, just like President Pei's "Slacking Off" internet cafe, which was even closer to the emerging clubhouse.

There are bar booths, e-sports rooms, a casual cinema, a buffet, and massage showers...

She also brought along her group of girlfriends from her liberal arts class.

They were all dressed in their finest clothes.

Although it initially made the boys and girls in the Lexus class a little hesitant, they had been neighbors for three years, and many of them already knew each other, just not very well.

On the eve of their impending separation, a group of young people put aside all their worries and had a blast.

High-end internet cafes are unfamiliar places for a group of impoverished students, but these top students are not timid. For them at this age, there is no difference between people.

"Freedom!"

Perhaps tired from playing games, the young men and women, still energetic late into the night, gathered in the lobby to watch a Hollywood blockbuster together.

After much deliberation, and at the strong suggestion of the female students in the humanities class, we watched "Braveheart" together.

This ten-year-old film is actually not considered old for China's nascent film market.

Especially the male protagonist's final shout, which is indeed very impactful for young people whose passion has not yet cooled.

"By the way, Si Hua, wasn't the theme song for your movie 'Crossroads' adapted from a song from Wallace's hometown?"

Mathematics representative Qin Haojie suddenly posed a question that seemed to have puzzled him for some time.

This guy is quite something. He was born in a small coastal county, and he's a bit like the Tanka girl in "Crossroads".

He helped his family fish from a young age, enduring wind and sun, which gave him dark and rough skin, and also tempered his exceptionally calm temperament.

When Si Hua first saw this person, dressed in an old white shirt, looking and dressed like a thirty-six-year-old despite being only sixteen, he almost mistook him for a parent and called him "Uncle."

Qin Haojie lived up to his reputation as a mathematics representative, becoming the top mathematics student in Guangnan Province that year, and achieving an absurd perfect score in mathematics.

If I remember correctly, I eventually got into Tsinghua or Peking University to study mechanical engineering, and also earned a double degree in vehicle engineering. After graduating with my bachelor's degree, I went straight to Mercedes-Benz.

Although he didn't achieve any particularly remarkable success, he ultimately became a pillar of society.

"It's not exactly my hometown. The movie is about Scottish independence, and the original song for Crossroads is called 'Londonderry Ballad,' which is from Ireland."

Si Hua explained, "As you can see, this tiny Great Britain has been turned into a dog's brain by fighting, so I can't really say whether it can be considered my hometown."

Everyone suddenly realized.

"I remember that song was sung by Lin Lin, right?"

A girl from a humanities class had eyes that lit up like light bulbs, clearly eager for gossip. "Are you only writing songs for her from now on?!"

"..." Damn it, this question is so love-struck, I have absolutely no desire to answer it.

Lin Lin stepped in to speak up: "It's definitely not going to be all me singing. Some songs require different interpretations. He can't exactly make me sing 'Heroes' Song, can he?"

"Oh...Is there still a chance for my Linlin Qihua to reunite?" The girl was clearly very disappointed.

No, what the heck is "琳琳其华"? Is it a couple name?

Why does he have the air of an old scholar?

"Hehe." Lin Lin wasn't surprised at all when she heard the girl mention Linlin Qihua; instead, she giggled foolishly.

Hmm? Could it be that Lin Lin came up with the CP name herself? She's even shipping her own CP?

But it seems like something she'd actually do...

"Speaking of which, Si Hua, does that mean you've already completed the special admission process as long as you meet the undergraduate admission line?" A boy who wasn't very familiar with Si Hua interrupted the question about college application, which everyone was concerned about.

Si Hua nodded: "Actually, I don't need to reach the undergraduate admission line, but to prevent any mishaps and to avoid gossip, I still want to try my best to get a higher score."

"That's great! I don't have to worry about admission anymore. Yesterday, as soon as I left the exam hall, I started thinking about how many points I could get and which school and major I could apply for."

"Yes, yes, me too..."

As expected, at this time, everyone is most concerned about the topic of college application.

Suddenly, the internet cafe lobby was filled with chatter, even waking up students who were too tired to stay up and had already lain down, who then joined in the lively discussion.

While getting drinks and snacks, the four giants of the instant noodle army gathered in a booth and chatted amongst themselves.

Tons.

Zhou Zhe started by grabbing a can of soda: "Ahua and I have already decided on our schools, so our majors shouldn't be any surprises. What about you two?"

He knew the grades of these two typical top students; getting into university wouldn't be a problem. It was just a matter of where they wanted to study and what major they wanted to choose.

Chen Yu spoke first: "Since you and Ahua both went to Beijing, I'll go too. The China University of Political Science and Law is also in Beijing..."

"Hey," Si Hua interrupted his childhood friend, "why don't you switch your major?"

"For example, economics?"

"Economics?" This was a major Chen Yu had never considered.

His father works for the Dongliu Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference and has always wanted him to study political science or law so that he could return to Guangnan as a civil servant after graduation.

Chen Yu, who has always been easygoing, has always regarded the University of Political Science and Law as his first goal... In fact, his grades have far exceeded the admission line of the University of Political Science and Law.

As long as he doesn't drink that damn milk tea.

This thing made me feel guilty for a long time in my past life. If it weren't for my craving, which caused both of us to fail to get into our first-choice universities, it would have been very painful.

"Yes, although you have good grades, it seems you're still a bit short of getting into Tsinghua or Peking University. Why don't you study economics at Renmin University? If I remember correctly, Renmin University's economics program is ranked first in the country, which is better than Tsinghua and Peking University."

Si Hua always wanted to make up for his brother's regret.

"That seems okay, the score should be fine... right?" Chen Yu rubbed his chin. "I'll have to check later."

Lin Lin looked around at everyone and suddenly felt very happy.

Since becoming acquainted with Si Hua a year ago, my campus life has undergone tremendous changes, with all sorts of joys coming one after another.

In particular, Si Hua even mentored me in making animations!

He even wrote songs for himself to sing!

Two happy things happened at the same time!

He has me in his heart!

I'm so happy!

The huge void in his social circle caused by his best friend going abroad was filled by Si Hua, and his friends.

I am not alone...

May our friendship last forever!

May our love last forever!

whee.

"What are you thinking about?" Si Hua interrupted Lin Lin's reverie. "Everyone is waiting for you to speak."

"I'm thinking about our forever..."

Before he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Lin, and the expressions on their faces were a mixed bag, as chaotic as the situation in northwestern Shanxi.

Shock, ecstasy, grief and indignation... the list goes on.

Si Hua's eyes widened in surprise.

He had a look of utter shock on his face.

No, I haven't even used a basic attack yet, how come you've already used your ultimate?

Where do you ever get asked if you want to play Dou Dizhu (a card game), and you immediately throw out your royal flush?

Do you carry two kings with you at all times?!

My cards haven't been dealt yet?!

"Wow!!!"

The gasps of more than twenty people nearly blew the roof off the internet cafe.

Linlin Qihua, my Linlin Qihua is real!

The seasoned critics immediately posted the explosive scene on the Linlinqihua forum.

"Ladies! This is a huge scoop!"

"Who came to report?"

"I have an aunt! She said Linbao confessed her feelings to Andy Lau!"

"Huh? A girl confessing her feelings to a boy? That can't be real!"

"Really, I was there!"

"?"

"I meant my aunt was there; they were having a meal together at the club!"

"Does your aunt work at the club?"

"That's not the point, and we didn't go to that kind of club!"

"You? Who exactly are you? Are you your aunt, or just yourself?"

"Gu, just kill me!"
