Young people are easily happy, and their emotions can easily soar. Don't be fooled by their bookworm appearances in classrooms and libraries, especially those studying Astrophysics like Qinglan, An Shaojie, and Xu Wen. Other liberal arts students think they know nothing but studying. They don't know how to have fun, understand life, or arrange their lives.
However, when it comes to having fun, they are not behind anyone else and can really show off their skills.
Hu Jiao'er is a prime example; singing and dancing are her strengths. Even Jiang Liuying, who usually presents herself as a serious woman, performed a heartfelt rendition of "Tomorrow's Smile" by Liang Jingru for Mosen, her soft voice captivating everyone present.
Xu Wen is even more impressive. Many already know he is talented—not just in singing but also in playing the piano and guitar. He is meticulous in organizing activities and considering every detail, leaving no room for criticism. Although he didn't sing or showcase any talents that night, he took care of everyone's food and entertainment like an older brother, earning the admiration of everyone there.
In group activities, he always plays this warm role.
What surprised everyone even more was An Shaojie, who usually appears with a cold demeanor and never shows off in front of many people. That night, he sang "Forget Love Potion" by Andy Lau with deep emotion and style.
"I didn't expect it; Brother Shaojie is not just a bookworm. His rendition of Andy Lau's song felt even more heartfelt than the original," Simple remarked sincerely.
"Yeah, I didn't know Class Leader had this skill," Hu Jiao'er chimed in.
"Simple finally said something normal," Qinglan quietly praised Simple, keeping her voice low because her comment indirectly complimented An Shaojie, so she didn't want to be too loud.
Taking advantage of the dim lighting, she boldly glanced at him. He seemed to have heard her words; after putting down the microphone, he dared not look up and just lowered his head to sip his tea.
In the private room, everyone's spirits were high except for him; he sat alone in an inconspicuous corner.
Of course, he always sits alone in some corner because he cannot connect with anyone. He is not accustomed to anyone's socializing or handling methods. He wraps himself tightly in his rigorous lifestyle, leaving no gaps for air to seep through.
"Hey! Brother Shaojie, what were you trying to forget with that song 'Forget Love Potion'?"
Many people cannot handle compliments, and Simple is one of those individuals.
Qinglan just half-heartedly praised her, and she immediately became overly pleased with herself, causing an awkward situation for several people while simultaneously drawing everyone's attention to An Shaojie.
"Our class leader is truly pitiful; even when he wants some peace and quiet, it's impossible. No matter where he hides, even in a dark corner, he will be dug out and become the center of attention," Jiang Liuying, who is also not one to hold back, chimed in at the right moment after hearing Simple's words.
It seems she is similar to Simple, someone who won't rest until they stir the pot.
"Oh dear, An Shaojie is so pitiful, caught in the crossfire," Shen Xiaomeng said while leaning on Hao Chuanze's shoulder. She often takes a defensive approach, subtly targeting others in a way that doesn't appear malicious.
Others might think she was sympathizing with An Shaojie, but little do they know she also finds it unsatisfying not to tease others. However, her method of teasing is neither as unintentional as Simple's nor as direct as Jiang Liuying's; she uses a roundabout way and even pretends to be kind. After teasing someone, if called out, she would feign innocence and say:
"Oh dear, I was just trying to be nice, and you misunderstood me."
Qinglan understands the personalities of the three of them well enough to simply remain silent.
Hu Jiao'er couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Shen Xiaomeng, isn't showing off your affection with Hao Chuanze enough?"
Hu Jiao'er's words were laced with barbs, intentionally poking at Shen Xiaomeng while also warning and expressing concern for her. With her keen eye, she had already noticed that Yao Mengni, who was having a great time in the center of the room, liked Hao Chuanze.
In addition to Yao Mengni in the center of the room, there were also Mosen and Zhou Xiaochuan. They were both very sociable individuals. Especially Mosen; although it was his first time meeting many people and others weren't very familiar with him either, he quickly blended into the crowd and could easily chat and play with everyone.
However, the two main characters had yet to make a grand entrance.
In one corner of the sofa, Lin Xi had been quietly conversing with Lu Chenyu.
The two of them occasionally gazed deeply into each other's eyes, oblivious to their surroundings.
Every action they took was observed by An Shaojie, whose eyes revealed the pain and sorrow that were also noticed by Qinglan, who sat quietly nearby.
Later, a group of people spent the night eating, drinking, and having fun, almost pulling an all-nighter. Others decided to call it a night since it was the weekend and they didn't have classes the next day, allowing them to sleep beautifully for a whole day.
Only Lu Chenyu, Chen Yang, and Yao Mengni had taken a train for over ten hours to reach Beijing without resting. During the middle of their fun, Lin Xi suggested that the three of them take a break.
Chen Yang was unwilling to leave Simple, so he naturally ignored Lin Xi's suggestion to rest, insisting that he would just take a short nap on the sofa.
As for Yao Mengni, ever since her unexpected reunion with Hao Chuanze, his figure had never left her mind. Even though watching him with Shen Xiaomeng made her heart ache, she was still willing to endure that pain while observing him.
She glanced at Lin Xi and said, "You take Lu Chenyu to rest. I have plenty of time to rest tomorrow."
Lin Xi had no choice but to comply and took Lu Chenyu to rest first.
Once Lin Xi and Lu Chenyu left, An Shaojie seemed to collapse entirely. He suddenly grabbed a bottle of beer from the table and gulped it down.
Then he picked up another bottle, took a couple of swigs, and left his seat to head outside.
Having already consumed quite a bit during dinner and now downing another bottle, his walking was somewhat unsteady. With Lin Xi taking Lu Chenyu away, he had no reason to stay any longer. He staggered to the door, paused for a moment, and then continued walking outside.
