Kyoto CBD, Chang'an Street, Building 438, Room 438:
"Yesterday I was still considering giving you a raise, and today you come to resign? The post-80s generation is a lost generation, and I see you post-90s as a generation that has already collapsed. The post-80s refuse to work overtime, and the post-90s refuse to work at all. You just graduated! Lufeng, I've always had high hopes for you. Why do you want to resign?"
The speaker was Wu De, the boss of Lufeng, a big man with a thick neck, and his attire clearly indicated he was wealthy rather than just an employee. A month ago, Lufeng had mentioned wanting to resign, but Wu De thought it was just casual talk and didn’t take it seriously.
"To be precise, I graduated today. I have my dreams; I want to do what I truly want to do. I'm here to hand over my responsibilities."
Time flies; four years of college have come to an end. All along, Lufeng had been secretly working full-time while attending school. Now that he has graduated, he feels less burdened and wants to pursue what he loves.
"It's good for young people to have dreams, but after working for so long, you should know that reality can be harsh. This society is fraught with dangers and complexities; it's not as simple as you think."
Wu De tried to reason with him emotionally; he had observed Lufeng’s various performances and found him reliable and easy to manage.
"I'm sorry, but I don't want to continue drifting here." No matter how much Wu De tried to persuade him, Lufeng insisted on following his own path.
"Drifting? It seems you're determined to leave. After working your whole life, you'll realize that drifting is just part of life; don’t let the days pass by aimlessly."
Wu De shook his head and gave a sly smile to his secretary beside him: "Xiao Liu, take him for the handover."
...
Lufeng is an orphan who grew up in Beihai Orphanage, raised by Director Hu. He knows nothing about his origins; whenever he asked Director Hu, there were always various excuses. Gradually, Lufeng stopped inquiring about his background, firmly believing that one day the truth would come out...
"Men can indulge without guilt; even the strongest have the right to seek comfort. If behind a smile only heartbreak remains, why live so desperately?"
Today is the last day at school. Lufeng dragged his weary body back and forth to dorm 408, clutching brand new textbooks and humming an incoherent song.
"Bang bang!"
Distractedly knocking on the dorm door, Lufeng's mind echoed with Wu De's words, feeling as if he had wasted four years without attending a single complete class.
"Room check?" Inside, two guys sitting by the computer looked pale; one turned off the main unit while the other shut down the monitor with lightning speed. Another lay motionless under the covers, which rose and fell with his body’s shivering.
"You two sneaky guys, aren't you just watching Teacher Aoi interpret the true essence of humanity? Is there really a need to be this scared?"
Seeing the tent softening between their legs, Lufeng could guess that these two were watching Teacher Aoi's adult films. One was named Gao Chao, and the other Qin Shou. They were quite the pair, often analyzing Teacher Aoi's classic moves in Lufeng's ear, which was quite annoying.
"I was originally Teacher Aoi's ultimate fan, my dear big brother. Can you please go easy next time? I almost lost it... Let's enjoy it together; this is Teacher Aoi's latest work," Qin Shou said with a dreamy expression, drooling as if he were under Aoi's spell.
Lufeng felt ashamed and glanced at Qiu Han, who was buried under the covers, sighing deeply: "This Fourth, really reckless again, another night of Dota."
"Tsk tsk... Teacher Aoi's 'Extraordinary 6+1' is truly shocking. 'Beast', close the door; we need to continue our studies," Gao Chao said, closing his legs and pressing the console.
"Four years have passed; how much longer are you going to waste your time? We need to find jobs tomorrow. It's one thing if you don't prepare, but still being obsessed with Teacher Aoi? Are you planning to make a movie with her?"
Having been called big brother for four years, Lufeng couldn't just watch his classmates waste their time like this. They had already played for four years, and now they were about to enter the workforce while still being so carefree.
"If she asks me to make a movie, I'd gladly accept. Stop nagging; things will work out naturally. We are college graduates; why should we worry about finding jobs? If worse comes to worst, I'll just call my dad's company tomorrow."
Gao Chao was unconcerned because he was a rich second generation. He spoke confidently, having dated numerous girlfriends during college. Due to his playboy nature, he was now single again, with every woman he had been with cursing him as a 'scoundrel'.
"Hehe, then thank you very much, Second Brother," Qin Shou shamelessly expressed his gratitude.
"Hey! Don't call me Second Brother," Gao Chao laughed and cursed.
"Yes, Second Brother!" Qin Shou grinned and pulled up the still dreaming Qiu Han: "Fourth, don't worry about work tomorrow; tonight is the public test of Wen Tian..."
"What the hell! A sudden downpour!" Qin Shou exclaimed in shock, forgetting that he wanted to mention going to the public test together.
Qiu Han, groggily pulled out of bed, happened to see Gao Chao playing 'Extraordinary 6+1'. His body jolted, and he accidentally shot onto the computer screen. If it weren't for Gao Chao dodging quickly, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Instant release!"
"What the hell! Why are you sleeping naked? Just seeing something gets you excited? Where's your dignity? You almost ruined your reputation! If that had hit my mouth, I might as well jump off a building," Gao Chao cursed loudly, his face changing color but not enough to turn against him.
“Sky Blue Vast Wilderness Don't mess around with me! Kwan Hei, Zong Rui, you can't keep up. Not only did you break their 12-second record, but you also set a new Guinness record. You guys are truly talented, I admire you!” Lufeng gave a thumbs up. It’s worth noting that Qiu Han was two meters away from the computer screen, which definitely broke the record.
“Oh? Is that so? I'll sleep a bit more.” Qiu Han pulled out the underwear from under his pillow, put it on, and immediately went back to sleep.
……
That evening, the four Buddies of 408: the leader Lufeng, Second Brother Gao Chao, Qin Shou, and Fourth Qiu Han arrived at the nearby Jingsheng Grand Hotel. In Lufeng's words, they were there to enjoy themselves.
That night, all four of them drank until they were dizzy and lost interest in karaoke, heading straight home instead.
Shameless Gao Chao, driven by impulse, opened his computer as soon as they got back. If it weren't for the fact that he had spent all his money on this meal and couldn't bring himself to borrow from Lufeng, he would probably have gone looking for girls.
“You... you bandits! You ate half a month's living expenses in one meal. What kind of game is this?” As soon as Gao Chao opened his computer, the public beta window for Wen Tian popped up.
“That’s Wen Tian, just a new game. Don’t pay attention to it; we’ve been playing for four years already. What game haven’t we played enough? Let’s sleep; we have to look for jobs tomorrow. Life is a long road, and we’re always getting lost~” Qiu Han seemed to have an epiphany on graduation day.
“Ah? It’s already in public beta? Oh my god, how did I forget about this?” Qin Shou looked distraught, clearly having fallen into obsession.
“Forget about it! The biggest regret in life is easily giving up what shouldn’t be given up and stubbornly holding onto what shouldn’t be held onto. If you keep wasting your days like this, one day you’ll realize that life has passed you by. Qiu Han! Turn off the lights and go to sleep.” Lufeng was genuinely angry. Until now, Qin Shou was still immersed in the virtual world, and as their leader, he felt guilty for not being able to help them.
Lufeng rarely got angry, but this time he truly was…
