Chapter 494: I, Chen Fan, Live Only for Three Words in This Life
Perhaps due to the approaching graduation, Chen Fan encountered several breakup scenes in the past couple of days.
Every night, there would be heartbroken male students on the balcony of the dormitory building, howling drunkenly over their lost love.
Once, when Chen Fan was walking Su Ruochu back to her dormitory, he saw a male student standing below the female dormitory building, crying loudly on the phone.
"Why? Why are you doing this to me?"
"Is it just because you got admitted and I didn't?"
"Does our four-year relationship mean nothing to you?"
"Tell me, what do I mean to you? What do I mean?"
As this guy shouted and yelled, many students gathered around to watch the commotion.
After hanging up the phone, the guy sat on the steps and sobbed, loudly telling the surrounding students about his love story with his girlfriend.
They had been dating for three years, during which he had been devoted and hardworking. His girlfriend was a big spender and loved to dress up, so he spent almost all of his monthly living expenses on her.
To buy cosmetics and bags for his girlfriend, he borrowed money from his dormmates, lied to his family to borrow money, and even worked part-time jobs alone...
In these three years, he had spent at least 10,000 yuan on her.
However, now that she had been admitted to graduate school, she broke up with him without hesitation and cut off all contact.
She wouldn't even agree to meet him one last time.
The male student cried miserably, and among the onlookers, some were amused, while others looked sympathetic.
"Brother, stand up. That kind of girl isn't worth it!"
"Hang in there, man. You'll meet someone better in the future..."
People from the crowd shouted words of encouragement.
Su Ruochu stood with Chen Fan on the outskirts of the crowd, watching the scene for a while. She then looked at Chen Fan with some concern.
"I suddenly don't want to take the provincial exam anymore."
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Su Ruochu's nervous expression, Chen Fan smiled and held her small hand.
"Were you affected by this?"
Su Ruochu lowered her head: "I... I don't want to take the provincial exam anymore. I don't want to pursue a master's degree either..."
Su Ruochu gripped Chen Fan's hand tightly, as if afraid of losing him someday.
"I just want to stay by your side."
"In this life, I don't ask for luxury. I just want to be with you and live our simple life together."
Chen Fan smiled and reached out to pat Su Ruochu's head.
"Silly girl, what are you thinking about?"
"We're different from them. We won't break up."
Su Ruochu stared at Chen Fan with her big eyes: "Why is it impossible?"
Chen Fan grinned: "Because you're already my woman."
Su Ruochu's cheeks turned red. "But... what if we're in a long-distance relationship in the future, and you... you fall for another woman?"
Chen Fan shook his head with a smile.
"That won't happen."
"In my past life, this life, and the next life, I will never fall for another woman."
"Remember that rainy night before the college entrance exam?"
"From the moment you agreed to be my girlfriend, I will never like anyone else in this life."
"I want to marry you in grand style. Let you become my woman openly and proudly."
Chen Fan cupped Su Ruochu's face with both hands and gently kissed her forehead.
"Remember one thing, I, Chen Fan, live only for three words in this life."
"Su — Ruo — Chu!"
These words were more touching than any love poem. Su Ruochu gently nestled in Chen Fan's arms.
Her gaze turned towards the crying man in the crowd.
By now, he had stood up and was preparing to leave.
Until the very end, he didn't see the girl he had loved for three years come down from the dormitory.
"Su Ruochu, you are very lucky and very happy," Su Ruochu silently said to herself.
......
At the end of April, Chen Fan accompanied Su Ruochu to take the provincial exam.
When they came out, Su Ruochu stuck out her tongue at Chen Fan.
"The questions were so difficult this year, I probably didn't make it."
Chen Fan smiled and comforted her: "If you didn't make it, then you didn't. The important thing is the experience."
Su Ruochu pouted: "You're not very sincere with your words of comfort."
Chen Fan laughed.
"I'm never sincere, I only think with my lower half!"
"Wife, you've finally finished the exam today, can we relax a bit tonight?"
"How about we have some fun?"
Su Ruochu glared at Chen Fan.
"You're always thinking about these messy things."
"How can these be considered messy things?" Chen Fan explained seriously: "This is the inevitable result of human evolution."
"For example, when I look at you, I subconsciously want to look at your chest, this is male instinct."
Su Ruochu pouted: "Pervert."
"Miss Su Ruochu, you're mistaken," Chen Fan said.
"This isn't being a pervert, this is the sacred genetic instinct passed down through thousands of years of human reproduction."
"It's because of this instinct that males pursue females, that men chase women."
"A newborn baby wants to drink breast milk as soon as it's born, and even when grown up, men want to take a look at a beautiful woman's chest... these are all instincts encoded in our genes."
"It's because of breast milk that humans can reproduce and continue from generation to generation."
Su Ruochu was amused.
"You should be the one taking the provincial exam, you're much better at talking than I am."
Chen Fan laughed.
"If I went, I might actually pass. But what can I do? I just don't like it. I'd rather leave the position for comrades who need it more."
Su Ruochu giggled and quickly pulled Chen Fan away, afraid he would continue to embarrass himself here.
However, with Chen Fan's jokes, her gloomy mood from leaving the exam room earlier had completely disappeared.
......
As May arrived, time seemed to speed up as if someone had pressed the fast-forward button.
Graduation was getting closer and closer.
As graduating students, everyone became busier.
Busy preparing theses, busy with farewell dinners, busy with breakups, busy confessing to girls they had secretly liked for a long time, busy making one last crazy attempt to grasp the tail of their youth.
This month, Chen Fan and Su Ruochu received two pieces of good news and one piece of bad news.
The bad news was that Su Ruochu missed passing the provincial exam written test by just three points.
The good news was that Su Ruochu passed the second round of interviews for graduate school. If she wanted, she could become a graduate student at Beijing Media University in the future.
Of course, there was another piece of good news.
Chen Fan's paper was actually published in a major domestic journal.
As soon as the paper was published, it caused a huge sensation. Big names in the fields of economics, internet, and business were all discussing Chen Fan's paper.
Some said the paper was full of nonsense and unfounded claims, and that the author must be a complete novice who knew nothing.
Others said the paper was detailed and well-argued. Although the predictions about the future were a bit exaggerated, they were not groundless.
This paper had extremely high research and discussion value.
It might have a very significant inspirational effect on the development of the internet in China over the next ten to twenty years.
The two camps argued fiercely online, in forums, and even on media programs.
Professor Chen, the first author of the paper, became famous overnight and an undisputed hot topic.
As for the original author of the paper, Chen Fan didn't care about this at all.
Even when Professor Chen called him excitedly to inform him that the paper had been published and was now causing a very heated discussion, Chen Fan remained indifferent.
Because at this moment, all his heart and mind were focused on Su Ruochu.
Su Ruochu had been in a bad mood these past few days, clearly affected by the approaching graduation.
Failing the provincial exam meant she wouldn't be able to work in the province and stay with Chen Fan.
If she went to Beijing for graduate school, they would be in a long-distance relationship for three years.
These days, they had encountered too many couples breaking up on campus, which had obviously affected her mood.
Chen Fan noticed this and tried to comfort her several times, but it didn't help much.
So Chen Fan had been secretly considering.
Whether he should create a huge, unforgettable surprise for Su Ruochu before graduation.
To draw a perfect ending to their youth and love story, even if only temporarily.
