Guo Miao was a little dazed from being hit by Yu Qin. While dodging, he shouted, "Xiao Qin, I was wrong. I just had a bad temper. Please stop hitting me."

As he spoke, he quickly ran to another table and circled around it to avoid Yu Qin.

Chen Xiumei looked at the two helplessly and quickly went over to stop them, saying, "Alright, alright, stop fooling around. You're both grown up."

"Sit down and eat, everyone. Don't let this little thing spoil everyone's mood."

After listening to Chen Xiumei's words, everyone returned to their seats.

Chu Mengran was still a little curious about just how bad her cooking was.

So she picked up her chopsticks and tasted the tomato and egg stir-fry she had made herself.

As soon as she put it in her mouth, Chu Mengran frowned and muttered, "Why does it taste so awful..."

Chen Dong quickly encouraged her, "Mengran, don't be discouraged. Cooking skills are accumulated through practice. You'll definitely be able to make delicious dishes next time."

After listening to Chen Dong's words, Yu Qin hesitated for a moment before tasting the stir-fried potato shreds she had made.

The moment she put it in her mouth, she almost threw up, and then she understood why Guo Miao had reacted so strongly.

Seeing Yu Qin's expression, Guo Miao added in a simple and honest way, "Xiao Qin, this taste is something that not just anyone can make."

Yu Qin was speechless after what he said, and could only lower her head, her face full of embarrassment.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Chen Xiumei said helplessly, "Mengran, Xiaoqin, don't take it too seriously."

"Everyone is like this when they first start cooking; I've been through this stage too."

After saying that, she stood up, took away the unpalatable dishes the two of them had made, and said, "Alright, let's eat the good food."

After a while, Chen Xiumei called out to everyone, "Everyone, come and try it! It's all delicious, don't be shy."

Upon hearing this, everyone started eating.

During the meal, the conversation naturally turned to aspirations.

With bright, hopeful eyes, Yu Qin said, "I want to study teacher training at Tsinghua or Peking University and become a teacher in the future."

Upon hearing this, Chu Mengran said with some longing, "I also really want to go to Tsinghua or Peking University. I feel that there are many opportunities there, I can learn a lot, and I can also make many outstanding classmates."

After listening to their words, Chen Dong pondered for a moment.

Actually, he preferred to go to Nanjing University.

Because Nanjing University is a top-tier university in the south, and I don't plan to go into politics but rather into business, especially in the south.

Nanjing University's assistance will actually be greater than that of Tsinghua and Peking University.

After all, it's a job that matches my major.

But seeing Chu Mengran's expectant eyes, Chen Dong didn't want to disappoint her, so he said, "Mengran wants to go to Tsinghua or Peking University, that's great."

"Anyway, Tsinghua and Peking University are both top-tier universities, excellent in every aspect, so it doesn't really matter where you study."

Guo Miao casually said, "I don't really have any thoughts. As long as we can all go to the same university, that's fine, so we can continue to hang out together in the future."

Everyone enjoyed the delicious food while chatting happily, their laughter echoing throughout the Hunan restaurant.

After dinner, Chen Dong took Chu Mengran home.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them, outlining a warm silhouette, like a beautiful painting.

Guo Miao also escorted Yu Qin home. Along the way, the two bickered and laughed, their youthful energy filling the air.

......

A few days later, on the morning of the day I was to go to school, it was just getting light.

As dawn broke through the thin clouds, the sunlight fell gently on the earth, casting a hazy golden veil over the entire city.

Chen Dong got up early, washed up quickly, and went out in high spirits.

The familiar bus was already quietly waiting in front of his house.

Driver Zhang stood tall beside the car. When he saw Chen Dong come out, he immediately went forward and respectfully opened the car door.

With a broad smile on his face, he called out, "Dongzi, get in the car."

Chen Dong nodded slightly in response, then nimbly got into the car.

The car started and sped towards Sanxi Village.

The purpose of this trip is to pick up Shen Yue and then go to Nanjiang No.1 Middle School together.

Along the way, Chen Dong looked at the scenery rushing past the window, feeling both nostalgia for campus life and anticipation for his future university life, and a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

Before long, the car came to a smooth stop in front of Shen Yue's house.

As always, Master Zhang went to knock on the door quickly and respectfully, explained his purpose, and led Shen Yue to the car.

Shen Yue wore an elegant dress today, her hair flowing smoothly over her shoulders.

But her brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes revealed a hint of displeasure, as if she was in a bad mood.

Mr. Zhang also opened the car door for her with the same courtesy, and said softly, "Miss Shen, please get in the car."

Shen Yue got into the car and sat next to Chen Dong. The car started moving again, heading towards the school.

The atmosphere inside the car was somewhat subdued. Chen Dong glanced at her, and since he was in a good mood today, he casually asked out of curiosity, "Shen Yue, what's wrong? You seem a little unhappy?"

Shen Yue snorted coldly, turned her head away, and did not answer.

Seeing this, Chen Dong shrugged indifferently.

However, not long after, perhaps because the journey in the car was too boring, Shen Yue spoke up.

However, what he actually said was a curious inquiry about Chen Dong and the others' grades.

Chen Dong smiled, knowing that this venomous woman was driven by jealousy and was shamelessly telling Shen Yue about their achievements.

As expected, Shen Yue was instantly devastated.

Upon arriving at the school gate, the car slowly came to a stop.

Master Zhang quickly got out of the car, opened the door for Chen Dong, and said, "Young Master, we've arrived."

Then he quickly walked to the other side and opened the car door for Shen Yue, saying, "Miss Shen, watch your step."

Chen Dong and Shen Yue got out of the car and walked together toward Class Six.

Upon entering the classroom, Chu Mengran, Guo Miao, Yu Qin, Wang Xia, and Yu Juan were already there.

The classroom was bustling with activity as the students, reunited after a long separation, excitedly shared their holiday stories.

Chen Dong spotted Chu Mengran sitting in her seat at a glance.

She was like a blooming blue lotus, pure and refined.

Chen Dong smiled and nodded to his girlfriend and Chu Mengran, who was sitting at the same table.

Chu Mengran returned a sweet and innocent smile.

That smile seemed to dispel all gloom.

Shen Yue, with a sullen face, went to her seat without saying a word.

The students around her could clearly feel the oppressive atmosphere emanating from her.

Wang Xia, who sits to Shen Yue's left, is a lively and cheerful person with a very curious personality.

She turned her head first, blinking her big eyes and asking, "Shen Yue, what's wrong?"
