King of Kings, start with a perfect record and strive for the top spot.

On the way back, dark clouds completely covered the sky. Jiangcheng, which hadn't seen rain for more than two months, suddenly started to drizzle.

Large raindrops pattered against the Bentley's exterior, making a dull thud.

Ye Lan turned on the windshield wipers and began to slow down the car.

Driving in such heavy rain makes accidents very easy, so slowing down can effectively avoid injury after an accident.

The group eventually returned to the villa without any major incidents.

Ye Lan returned to her bedroom, changed out of her suit, and went back to the living room. Uncle Lin and her parents were gathered around the dining table, seemingly discussing something.

Ye Lan asked curiously, "Mom and Dad, what are you talking about?"

Zhang Fengxia, who was flipping through the old almanac, looked up and gave Ye Lan a reproachful look.

"You're used to being a hands-off husband. You're getting married soon, shouldn't you find an auspicious day?"

Ye Lan shrugged indifferently, "Why be so superstitious? Just pick any day to get married, isn't that enough?"

"No way!" Ms. Zhang Fengxia raised her voice several octaves. "How can marriage be treated so lightly?"

"Besides, Lin Xueyao calls me Mom. Whether it's for your sake or for hers, I should take care of this."

Ye Hao looked up and asked, "By the way, who are you planning to invite to your wedding?"

"Xu Zhiqiang, Wang Qianqian, Zhou Ting, Ning Caicai, senior company staff, and some partners, that should be it."

Ye Lan counted on her fingers; there weren't many people whose names she could name.

Of course, he also extends invitations to game streamers and professional players with whom he has a good relationship, but it's unclear whether they will come.

After all, everyone is very busy in this fast-paced society.

I might not have time to attend his wedding.

"What about your high school classmates? Aren't you going to invite them to your wedding?" Ms. Zhang Fengxia asked curiously.

"My high school classmates, we haven't been in touch since graduation. It feels weird to invite them to my wedding now." Ye Lan felt it was unnecessary.

After all, the people who can attend the wedding are all relatives and friends of both sides.

It's best to avoid people you're not familiar with.

In high school, everyone has their own clique. You might think you have a good relationship with someone, but they might be talking about you behind your back.

Ye Lan had seen this kind of thing many times, so she found it boring.

The saying "It's not about having many friends, but about having quality ones" is so true.

"You should still invite them in the group. Maybe some people are just not good at expressing themselves, but they still consider you a friend," my mom nagged endlessly.

Ye Lan nodded, indicating that she understood.

He took out his phone, tapped the penguin icon on the screen, and entered the group chat where the last time he chatted was during the Chinese New Year, when everyone was sending a string of "Happy New Year" messages like a broken record.

Relationships during student days are very fragile.

Because the time people spend together is usually very short.

Take Ye Lan herself as an example. In the first year of high school, she was divided into arts and sciences classes after half a year, and at the end of the second year, she was divided into the advanced class.

For those who are introverted and have finally made a friend, being separated from their partner is like breaking up a couple.

Ye Lan thought for a moment, then used her usual opening line, "Brothers, what have you been up to lately?"

As soon as he finished posting, a new link appeared in the group chat offering a discount on Pinduoduo.

Qi Rundong: "@Ye Lan, good brother, help me cut a knife."

Ye Lan rolled her eyes, then transferred all 1.42 yuan from her Penguin Wallet to the other party.

"This is all the money I have. I'll give it all to you. Please take the link back."

Qi Rundong retracted a message.

Qi Rundong snatched your red envelope in 5 seconds, making him the luckiest person in this round.

Then a new emoji appeared in the chat box, showing someone kowtowing and thanking someone.

[Group Owner] Li Rong: "What else can I do on Monday? Go to school, of course. I just got out of class, I'm exhausted."

Ye Lan: "Didn't they say that university students only have two classes in the morning?"

Li Rong: "Nobody ever told me that a university class is 90 minutes long, which is equivalent to two high school classes. It's true that you only have two classes in the morning, but two classes take up the whole morning. [bitter.jpg]"

Zhang Yu: "You can play with the golden shovel during class. One shovel for one class period, four shovels back to the dormitory. The teacher's class is prepared for Lao Ba."

Li Rong: "I have final exams coming up soon, so I'd better listen to it. I don't want to fail."

Li Rong was the class monitor of Class 7 in the third year of high school, where Ye Lan was. She was not tall, had a baby face, and her smile was very infectious.

That's why she's so popular.

During the election, she became class monitor with an overwhelming majority.

Li Rong: "By the way, when does everyone get their holiday? @All members"

June 25th.

June 28th.

July 1st

"Our school hasn't given us any notification yet. ┭┮﹏┭┮"

"I'm worse off than you all. My school's already out for break, but I haven't been able to buy a ticket home. *crying*"

.........

Just as Ye Lan was considering whether or not to announce her upcoming marriage.

A familiar ID came into his view.

Zheng Xueling: "It seems like everyone is on holiday around this time. My boyfriend is thinking of treating everyone to dinner on July 5th. Would you like to join us?"

Li Rong: "Isn't your boyfriend Ye Lan? (Confused.jpg)"

Ye Lan was taken aback. "We broke up."

Li Rong: "......."

Li Rong: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you two had broken up."

Zheng Xueling: "Breaking up is normal. With Ye Lan's salary of less than two thousand a month, how could she be worthy of me?"

Qi Jian: "@Ye Lan, is this for real? I make 6,000 a month working in the factory!"

Ye Lan smiled and replied, "That's right, that's right."

At that time, my live streaming business was in a slump, and the game boosting and gaming services business was also not doing well.

My monthly income hovers around two thousand.

I have enough to live on, but wanting to be in a relationship is really unrealistic.

Later, he did get tired of Zheng Xueling's pretentious behavior and took the initiative to break up with her.

It seems Zheng Xueling is doing quite well this year; she's hooked up with a rich guy and can afford to say something like treating the whole class to dinner.

The flattery below made Zheng Xueling beam with delight.

"Waqu, Xueling, what does your boyfriend do? He's amazing!"

Zheng Xueling didn't say anything, but kept it a secret, saying, "You'll find out when the time comes."

"Since Xue Ling's boyfriend is so generous, I'll send out a form. Those who want to go can fill in their names."

After Li Rong finished speaking, she sent an Excel spreadsheet titled "Dinner Registration Form".

Ye Lan opened the spreadsheet and found that there were already more than a dozen names in the first column.

"Brother Ye, shall we go?"

Just as Ye Lan was about to enter her name, Xu Zhiqiang sent her a message.

"why are you not going?"

"Because Huang Yuting is also going."

Ye Lan then noticed Huang Yuting's name in the form.

He immediately understood why Xu Zhiqiang was conflicted.

After all, he was someone I once loved deeply. Even after so long, seeing that name again still makes me feel a little uneasy.

"If you feel uncomfortable, bring Wang Qianqian along too."
