Chapter 1: Are you sick?

  "It's unfair to others," said Lu Junzhuo. "Those who can enter the audit stage, which one doesn't have a strong background? Why do we exclude them?"

  "Some people can't do things, but they won't mess things up either," Su Shan said. "The young lady of the Qiu family is that kind of person. The ones you mentioned who didn't pass the assessment, they can get things done, but they're more likely to mess things up - that's why we refuse to let them in. Do you understand?"

  "I understand." Lu Junzhuo said. Ambition is not about age, and evil deeds are not about longevity. It's also hard to deny that some people rely on their family background to do things that can be said to be universally condemned. If they were found, it would indeed be possible to take action against them. However, their ability to cause destruction seems to be even more impressive. This is the reason why they are rejected by the Red Eagles.

  He acknowledges such a decision. Because he also doesn't want to ruin a good soup because of a few old mice.

  For a woman with obsessive-compulsive disorder and perfectionism, it is even more so.

  "Our time is pressing," Su Shan said. "I have only one year left."

  "What about after one year?"

  "Lu Junzhuo, you're thinking too far ahead," Su Shan said. Then he sighed faintly: "In a year, I'll be graduating."

  "But there is a wider sky waiting for you." The man's eyes sparkled with spirit. "I look forward to seeing how high and far the red eagle in your hand can fly ----"

  "I won't let you down." Su Shan said confidently. "After I leave, I'll hand over the development and audit of Nanda's members to you - go ahead and take care of it. I'm busy too."

  "What are you busy with?" Lu Junzhuo asked.

  "I'm fishing." Su Shan said matter-of-factly, with a happy expression on his face.

  Then she picked up the green thumb-thick bamboo pole and swung the red line tail into the lake water ---- it was a small yellow flower.

  Lu Junzhuo saw a group of fish playing with flowers for a while, then turned and left.

  Tang Chong had just walked to the entrance of the third canteen when he heard Hua Ming's loud voice shouting: "Old Two, Old Two. Over here."

  A group of people looked towards the entrance, searching for 'Lao Er's' figure. Tang Chong hastily turned his face away, pretending not to know them.

  Hua Ming rushed over with a "swoosh" and grabbed Tang Chong's shoulder, saying: "Second brother, I'm calling you. Didn't you hear? Come quickly! The brothers are all waiting for you. The pancake is already cooked. Fried chicken wings are best when freshly bought."

  Tang Chong had no choice but to follow Hua Mingchao to the table where they were sitting.

  "Second brother, it's here." Liang Tao pushed over a bowl wrapped tightly in plastic wrap with a pancake inside and said, "If you don't come soon, it'll get cold."

  "What about Li Yu?" Tang Chong asked.

  "Ah." Liang Tao pointed to the second window. "He's gone to buy you chicken wings."

  Tang Zhong stopped talking and opened his bag to eat some flatbread.

  Although the media has repeatedly reported that plastic bags are made of various types of garbage, highly toxic substances, and it is unhealthy to use them to hold scalding hot food ----- but what can people do about it? Even if you go buy a golden bowl, it's still filled with gutter oil.

  "Has the old principal been looking for you?" Hua Ming chuckled. "Did he scold you?"

  "That's my teacher." Tang Zhong corrected his address. "Don't scold me."

  "How could he not scold you?" Hua Ming said in disappointment. "I thought he would scold you until your face was covered in blood."

  "It's really disappointing." Liang Tao also echoed.

  Tang Zhong raised his head and looked at these two guys, saying: "It seems that I didn't scold you and you're not happy?"

  "Of course. We bet Li Yu twenty chicken legs-" Hua Ming didn't notice that Liang Tao had been giving him eye signals, and he said it out unintentionally.

  Tang Zhongcai didn't sympathize with them and said to Li Yu, who was holding two hot fried chicken wings: "You won the chicken legs, half of which belong to me."

  "Good." Li Yu smiled shyly.

  The three of them had already finished dinner and were actually waiting for Tang Chong to come over.

  Tang Chong quickly finished his meal and then the four of them walked back to their dormitory together.

  After taking a bath, his hair was still wet, so Tang Chong lay on the bed reading a book.

  Li Yuzheng got Tang Zhong's permission and sat in front of his Apple computer playing games.

  Hua Ming was chopping bok choy for his rabbit, Xiao Guai. He grasped the knife and chopped it a few times, and the leaves fell apart. He looked like a gangster, but had the temperament of a master chef.

  Liang Tao was leaning on the balcony making a phone call. Judging from his sly smile, the person on the other end of the line must be a woman.

  Such an easy and interesting university life is what Tang Chong has always been looking forward to.

  He thought of the beautiful woman he met at Huxinting this afternoon. He didn't ask her name ----- because he knew, she wouldn't say even if he asked.

  Moreover, if Tang wants to know, there should be many people who can provide his information.

  Thinking of this, Tang Chong asked Hua Ming, who was looking at the rabbit Xiao Qi eating vegetables with a loving face: "Hua Ming, do you know who the girl on the cover of the admission letter is?"

  "Su Shan." Hua Ming replied without lifting her head. "The school flower of Nanda, no, should say the three-year school flower of Nanda - she's a junior now. Has been the school flower for three consecutive years. And even, not a single competitor. I was staring at her all along, that's why I didn't notice the school motto printed on the notice - otherwise, do you think I couldn't answer such a simple question? Others must be the same as me. Otherwise, President Jiao's student wouldn't have fallen to you."

  "What's with San?" Tang pondered for a moment. "Which San?"

  "The mountain and water have a destined encounter." Hua Ming said. "What? You know her?"

  "I don't know." Tang Zhong shook his head. He had seen her mention a girl named 'Su San' many times in Tang Xin's notebook. It seemed, however, that this 'San' was not the same as that 'Shan'.

  "I think so too." Hua Ming gently fed the vegetable into Xiao Guai's mouth and said, "She is very famous, but she is also extremely mysterious. Her classmates rarely see her, let alone us outsiders..."

  "How could her photo be printed on the cover of the admission notice?" Tang Chong asked with a smile. If she was really low-key, she wouldn't have done something so 'high-profile'.

  "Haha, you really asked the right person. Now all top universities are competing for students, you should know this. Although Nandaxue is a century-old university in Huaxia country, it's not the only one. Moreover, universities from Hong Kong and Taiwan have started recruiting students domestically, and more students choose to study abroad in Europe and America... How many high school top scorers are willing to stay in the country for college? All the excellent talents have been snatched away, these famous schools feel ashamed."

  "What does this have to do with printing a beautiful woman's photo on the admission notice?" Tang Chong became even more perplexed.

  "It doesn't matter." Hua Ming said straightforwardly. "Just tell those freshmen that our school has beauties. You guys hurry over, and who knows, you might even have a chance to win the heart of one of them."

  "It's said that the principal personally went to find Su Shan to negotiate, and only then did Su San reluctantly agree-----heh heh, this move was still quite effective. Originally I had planned to stay in Yanjing to attend university. That place is familiar. Later I gritted my teeth and came to Nan Da. It's all because of the beautiful woman on the admission notice."

  "I'm the same." Liang Tao hung up the phone and walked into the house, saying: "Oh my god. I fell in love with this woman at first sight. She's a heavenly beauty! My mom said she'd take me to Europe for a trip before school starts, but I told her I wouldn't go anywhere, I just wanted to go to school - wishes are beautiful, reality is cruel. I thought that once I entered Nanda, with my good looks and talent, maybe I could even have a romantic encounter with this woman. But after arriving, I realized the school was so big, I didn't even have a chance to meet her. As for romance, that's just a fantasy."

  Tang Da laughed loudly and shouted: "Li Yu, you're not here for the beautiful woman on the admission notice either, are you?"

  "I'm here to study psychology." Li Yutou said without turning his head. The monster he was operating and another group of monsters were in the midst of a fierce battle, leaving no room for distraction.

  "Hua Ming, how did you know so much?" Tang Chong asked.

  "School BBS," said Hua Ming. "Someone exposed it on the forum. And I also asked some seniors."

  "Have you heard of Mount Su?"

  "Not really. I asked about the school beauty rankings. They kept telling me about Su Shan," said Hua Ming. "I thought Nan Da would be like those written in the middle, with a first, second, third and tenth place campus belle, but they chose only one Su Shan - it's as if all the other beauties were being sold off cheaply."

  Tang Chong smiled, it seems this girl is still a legendary figure in school.

  Thinking of her using a small yellow flower to fish, I think she indeed deserves such an evaluation.

  He thought he was the only one who had a crush on her, but it turns out that all these guys have also had a crush on her at some point ----- in that case, this crush is actually quite promiscuous.

  No wonder she was so indifferent to herself. If it were another woman-----

  Tang Chong thought of his own black-framed glasses and oily messy hair, thinking that other women would probably be quite cold too.

  After chatting with them for a while, Tang Zhong's hair had also dried up. Just as he was about to fall asleep after closing the magazine, his mobile phone on the table rang.

  Tang Chong picked up his mobile phone and found it was a strange number.

  "Hello." Tong Chong pressed the answer button.

  "Tang Chong, hurry back home. Something big has happened at home. It's extremely urgent." Zhang Heben's voice came through the receiver, trembling with shock.

  Tang Chong didn't expect Zhang Heben to call him. He remembered that she and Lin Huiyin had never memorized his phone number.

  Tang Chong couldn't help but burst out laughing at the thought of that girl's expression when she spoke, and asked: "Is there a huge rat in your house again?"

  "Of course not." Zhang He seemed to have missed the sarcasm in Tang's words and seriously retorted, "If it were a big rat, I would have been scared out of my wits and run downstairs already. Anyway, you'd better hurry back. If you don't come back soon, the sky will fall."

  (PS: If you don't vote now, the sky will collapse-----)
