I'm a sophomore in college, what the heck is this "male god cultivation system"?

Chapter 11 Chen Sen
Wanning Mall, fourth floor, self-service barbecue restaurant.

When Chen Yan was about twenty meters away from the restaurant, he saw Ding Yang standing at the entrance, looking around, clearly waiting for someone.

"Ding Yang, over here!" Gao Zhuang called out first, his heavy voice immediately attracting Ding Yang's attention.

The next second, Ding Yang turned his head and looked at the two of them, then took a few steps and ran over quickly.

"Consider it a farewell gift." Chen Yan took out a box containing the model from his bag and handed it to Ding Yang.

"Brother Yan is so generous." Ding Yang accepted the gift without any formalities, and then complained, "Brother Yan is the best. Gao Zhuang gave me a sex toy, and my mom almost saw it. Damn it, Gao Zhuang, you're a jerk."

Although he was scolded, Gao Zhuang wasn't angry at all; instead, he laughed heartily.

After scolding Gao Zhuang, Ding Yang turned to look at Chen Yan, about to say something, when he suddenly paused, then said with some doubt:

"Brother Yan, have you become more handsome? You seem to be in much better shape now than you were in high school."

As soon as Ding Yang brought up the topic, Gao Zhuang chimed in, "Indeed, I thought my memory was playing tricks on me. You look much better, Brother Yan, and you've lost weight too."

"I started exercising and taking care of my skin this semester, and my overall condition has improved."

"That's not right. I remember you were quite thin in high school, and your skin was pretty good, but you didn't look as handsome as you do now... Maybe I remembered wrong. I'll go back and look at my graduation photo again."

The three of them talked as they walked toward their seats.

……

Aside from a few people who couldn't attend for various reasons, there were eight people present today.

Although they hadn't seen each other for a while, Ding Yang was really good at creating a lively atmosphere. He casually picked a few topics, and in less than ten minutes, the conversation became quite warm.

As for the topics of conversation, they were nothing more than things from high school, plus the various situations they encountered after going to university.

They ate and chatted, and the meal lasted for more than an hour.

After dinner, Ding Yang originally wanted to organize a karaoke session, but most people present said they wanted to go home, so the suggestion had to be abandoned.

……

"Yan-ge, Da-zhuang, I specifically asked you two before, are you both free tonight? Let's go have some fun again."

As soon as they stepped out of the restaurant, Ding Yang grabbed Chen Yan with one hand and Gao Zhuang with the other, preventing the two from leaving.

"Sure, I don't mind. You can ask Brother Yan."

As soon as Gao Zhuang finished speaking, Chen Yan saw Ding Yang staring at him expectantly.

Chen Yan nodded and said, "Okay, but I don't want to go to internet cafes or karaoke bars."

"No, let's go to the arcade on the third floor. Let's have a blast this time." Ding Yang rubbed his hands together, his voice full of excitement.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan's memories flooded back.

"No, that arcade is still open. I thought it had closed down." Chen Yan was a little surprised. In his memory, the arcade had almost no customers a couple of years ago.

It's been two years now, and it's really absurd that they're still alive.

"Yeah, I thought it had closed down too, but when I came up here today, it was still open." Ding Yang urged, "Let's go, let's go, don't delay, let's get going."

"Hey, hey, don't push me, I can walk by myself..." Chen Yan and Gao Zhuang were pushed by Ding Yang towards the elevator.

……

On their way to the elevator, the three passed a hot pot restaurant when Gao Zhuang suddenly spoke up:

"Ding Yang, stop pushing it, wait a minute, just a minute..."

Although he didn't know what Gao Zhuang was going to do, Ding Yang still withdrew his hand and asked, "What's going on?"

Chen Yan was also a little confused, but before he could speak, Gao Zhuang lowered his voice and said, "Brother Yan, look to the right, that..."

Halfway through his sentence, Gao Zhuang suddenly shut his mouth, only gesturing with his eyes for Chen Yan to look to the right.

Confused, Chen Yan subconsciously looked to his right, then froze for a moment.

Turning around, they saw a family eating at a table opposite them, separated only by a transparent glass barrier.

One of the women, who looked to be around thirty-five or thirty-six, and a girl who looked to be seventeen or eighteen, sat on one side, while on the other side sat a refined-looking man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

It's clearly a picture of a family of three enjoying hot pot together.

Although only the profiles of the three people could be seen... or rather, two, as the woman's profile was almost completely obscured by the girl sitting further inside, anyone with normal eyesight could clearly sense that the man and Chen Yan bore a resemblance.

When Gao Zhuang was in junior high and high school, he often came to Chen Yan's house to play, so he naturally recognized that man...

"Brother Yan..." Gao Zhuang's tone was somewhat uneasy, and he was even annoyed that he had spoken too quickly. He should have pretended not to have seen it.

However, Chen Yan didn't care much. Although his parents were divorced, their dedication to him hadn't diminished at all. Now that his father was able to have a second spring, it was a good thing from a certain perspective.

After glancing at her, Chen Yan was about to leave when, before he could turn around, perhaps because his gaze had been too direct, or perhaps because the girl sitting by the glass wall was particularly sensitive to eye contact, she suddenly turned her head and looked over.

Their eyes met through a glass wall.

Chen Yan's eyes widened slightly. Although he could tell from her profile that the girl was definitely not ugly, a thought still popped into his mind when he saw her face.

She's so beautiful it's almost otherworldly.

The young woman possessed a cool and aloof air, and judging from her facial features, she was a striking beauty with exceptional bone structure. Her eyebrows and eyes were exquisitely beautiful, and her willow-leaf eyes exuded a melancholic charm, with slightly upturned corners, conveying a sense of detachment mixed with a touch of fragility.

In that instant when their eyes met, the other person reminded Chen Yan of a Hong Kong and Taiwan star from the 90s—Ye Quanzhen.

Although they differ considerably in appearance, they share a striking resemblance in temperament, both possessing a cool and aloof demeanor, and a fragile yet resilient quality.

After exchanging glances for a moment, Chen Yan looked away and walked towards the elevator with Gao Zhuang and Ding Yang.

……

"Zhixi, did you see anyone you knew just now?" Lin's mother noticed Lin Zhixi's actions and asked casually.

"No, I was just spacing out." Lin Zhixi shook her head and casually made up an excuse, glancing at Chen Sen sitting opposite her without making a sound, before continuing to eat her food.

Although she only glanced at him, she still recognized him... after all, Uncle Chen's WeChat Moments background was a photo of him and the other person.

The boy in the photo looked a bit green, but the figure from just now gave her a gentle and peaceful feeling.
