Chapter 66: A Chance Encounter at the Crossroads
Chapter 66: A Chance Encounter at the Crossroads
Lin Bei had just walked up to Lao Gao when the man saw him, punched him on the shoulder, and said excitedly:
"I posted the link to your North Wind Shop three times in our guild group yesterday, and not only did the group owner scold me, but he also kicked me out."
"Hurry up and buy me something to drink to comfort my fragile heart."
"Okay, I'll buy you a bottle of Wahaha later." Lin Bei rubbed his shoulders. "Then I'll switch to another group and keep sending messages."
Old Gao held up two fingers: "I want to drink two bottles."
Lin Bei was speechless: "Look at your pathetic self."
Not far away, Su Qianqian stood in the shadow of the gatehouse porch.
Today she wore a white short-sleeved shirt and a dark blue pleated skirt, the hem of which just above her knees.
Her hair was still not tied up, but was naturally draped over her shoulders.
Several boys were standing nearby, waiting to receive their acceptance letters, but not one of them dared to stand within three steps of her.
She saw Song Qingning walking over and nodded slightly.
Then his gaze fell on Lin Bei, who was following behind, and he nodded to him.
Su Qianqian said softly, "The notification letter hasn't arrived yet. They said it would be delivered in batches, so it should take about ten more minutes."
Song Qingning smiled sweetly, took Su Qianqian's arm, and the two stood side by side under the shade of the tree.
Song Qingning asked, "Qianqian, which school did you apply to?"
Su Qianqian nodded: "The 985 university in S City, the School of Finance."
Song Qingning's eyes lit up. "It's very close!"
"Our schools are in the same city, only a ten-minute walk apart."
She hugged Su Qianqian's arm and gently shook it a few times: "From now on, we can see each other more often when we have time off."
"Hmm." Su Qianqian's lips curved slightly after hearing this.
"Then we can have dinner together on weekends from now on."
"Of course!" Song Qingning laughed, "We're best friends for life, we'll never be apart!"
……
Lin Bei and Lao Gao were chatting under the locust tree.
Old Gao took out a crumpled pack of cigarettes from his pocket and pulled out two cigarettes.
He first handed one to Lin Bei, then took one for himself.
Lin Bei took the cigarette but didn't light it; instead, he tucked it behind his ear.
At this moment, Lao Gao leaned close to Lin Bei and whispered, "Lao Lin, going to get your feet washed again?"
Ok? !
Lin Bei looked up at Lao Gao and said speechlessly, "Still want to go?"
"Aren't you afraid of being chased by the police and having to climb over the wall to escape, like last time?"
Old Gao chuckled twice but didn't respond to the comment.
Clearly, the scene that day still haunted him.
"Old Lin, I saw that sexy lingerie you recently bought, it looks pretty good."
"Could you send me a link? I'd like to study it carefully."
"Of course, it's not for the purpose of buying, but to help you conduct market research."
Lin Bei glanced at him and chuckled, "The browser won't open again, huh?"
"Hehe..." Old Gao chuckled again.
A few minutes later, the notification arrived.
A teacher from the Academic Affairs Office walked out of the office building carrying a cardboard box.
Inside the box were rows of light yellow envelopes, each with the school's emblem and name printed on the front.
The students who were waiting under the shade of the tree suddenly swarmed around them.
The teacher waved her hand, telling everyone to line up and come one by one to receive it.
Lin Bei's homeroom teacher stood at the office door, waving at them with a rare smile on his face.
Song Qingning pulled Su Qianqian along, walking in front, with Lin Bei and Lao Gao following behind.
The air conditioning was on in the office, and the cool breeze felt nice on my face.
The homeroom teacher was a middle-aged man in his early fifties with a receding hairline. He had been teaching Chinese for over twenty years and had taught more than a dozen graduating classes of senior high school students.
He smiled even more broadly as he watched Su Qianqian and Song Qingning push the door open and enter.
The homeroom teacher picked up the two top envelopes from the table and handed them over with both hands.
"Qianqian, Qingning, you two really bring honor to our class."
"One was in the top 20 in the city, and the other was in the top 3 in the class. Both of them got into 985 universities in S City."
"As the homeroom teacher, I walk with a swagger among the teachers of the same grade."
The homeroom teachers from several other classes nearby looked over with obvious envy and jealousy.
One of them even came over and asked Su Qianqian, "Su, what major did you choose?"
Su Qianqian nodded softly: "It's financial management."
The homeroom teacher nodded: "That's right, this major has excellent job prospects in the future."
Song Qingning opened the envelope, took out the notice, and immediately looked past the text to find the school's name.
Then I laughed.
The school was her first choice.
Song Qingning stuck the notice to her chest and turned to look at Su Qianqian as she opened the envelope.
Su Qianqian opened the envelope much more slowly than her, carefully tearing it open along the edge of the seal.
Take out the notice and unfold it, looking from the top left corner to the bottom right corner.
"You've been accepted."
Song Qingning leaned closer to look at Su Qianqian's school name.
Then, he grabbed Su Qianqian's wrist and shook it: "Qianqian, our schools really are on the same street."
"It's only a ten-minute bike ride away, so we can see each other more often in the future."
At this moment, the homeroom teacher took out two more envelopes from the box, her expression slightly calmer than before.
But a smile still lingered on his lips.
He looked at Lin Bei and Gao Da: "You two are doing well. Although you can't compare to Su Qianqian and Song Qingning, you still managed to get into a decent second-tier university."
"Work hard in the future, find a good job after graduation, and you'll still be successful."
He handed the two envelopes to Lin Bei and Gao Da respectively.
Lin Bei took the envelope: "Thank you, teacher."
When Gao Da received the envelope, his hands were trembling. After opening it, he looked at it again and again, and his mouth grew wider and wider.
Finally, clutching the notification letter, he patted Lin Bei on the shoulder.
"I'll be a college student someday too."
Song Qingning suddenly snatched the notification letter from Lin Bei's hand.
She opened the envelope faster than she opened her own.
When you pull out the admission notice, just look at the school section.
Then, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Song Qingning looked down at the school address on the admission notice, then looked up at Lin Bei, her lips almost curling up to her ears.
Because Lin Bei's school is on the same street as her school, just across an intersection.
Lin Bei took the notification letter back, folded it, and put it back in the envelope, his expression unchanged.
For him, it doesn't matter where he goes.
Song Qingning looked up at Lin Bei and said, "We can take the train together to university in the future, it will be safer that way."
Su Qianqian glanced at Lin Bei, then lowered her head and remained silent in thought.
Then, she turned to look at Lao Gao.
"Gundam, where is your school?"
