Chapter 508: Farewell to That Summer, That Campus
As the saying goes: A friend is someone who can give you a hand, a girlfriend is someone who can give you several hands.
That night, due to Su Ruochu's sudden initiative, the two were like breeding rabbits on the Australian plains, turning everywhere from the bathroom to the living room, from the sofa to the bedroom... into a battlefield.
Lying on the bed, Chen Fan unconsciously reached for the cigarettes on the bedside table.
After picking them up, he realized Su Ruochu was still lying next to him, so he prepared to quietly put them back.
"Go ahead and smoke. I don't mind," Su Ruochu said softly.
Chen Fan smiled, shook his head, and put the cigarettes back.
"You know, I don't usually smoke much. It's just that after... ahem, I instinctively wanted to smoke to relieve some fatigue."
Su Ruochu smiled as she sat up, gently grabbing the sheet to cover her chest.
"Do all men like to smoke after doing this kind of thing?"
Chen Fan laughed, "Where did you hear that from?"
Su Ruochu felt a bit embarrassed, "My second sister in the dorm bought a few romance novels. I occasionally flip through a couple of pages when I'm tired of studying. I saw that the male and female leads... like to smoke after that."
Chen Fan teased, "That's clearly not a proper book. You're not allowed to read those anymore."
Su Ruochu let out a light hum with a slightly coquettish tone.
"You still haven't answered me."
Chen Fan nodded, "I suppose so."
"Why? Just to relieve fatigue?"
"That's only one aspect of it."
Chen Fan thought for a moment and gave his answer: "I think the main reason is the feeling of conquest and achievement."
"When men smoke at times like this, they often have a sense of achievement after conquering a woman."
"Especially taking a puff of a cigarette, that sense of achievement will be infinitely magnified."
Su Ruochu gently lay on top of Chen Fan.
"Do you want to smoke then? I really don't mind."
Chen Fan smiled and shook his head.
"No need. It's not good for your health."
"You should also supervise me in the future. I'll smoke less too."
"Mm-hmm."
"Chen Fan..."
"Yes?"
"I suddenly regret something."
Su Ruochu spoke softly, "I regret signing up for the postgraduate entrance exam."
"If I wasn't going for postgraduate studies, I could be with you every day."
"Now I still have to go for graduate school, and we'll be in a long-distance relationship for at least three more years. It's not fair to you."
Su Ruochu looked up at him.
"Am I being too selfish?"
Chen Fan looked at the perfect face so close to him and smiled, pinching her nose.
"Silly girl, how could you think that?"
"I support you in taking the postgraduate exam. It's not because I want you to have a higher degree or make great achievements in the future, but because learning is a continuous accumulation process. During this process, your horizons will broaden, and your thinking will become more mature..."
"I like the more cultured you."
Su Ruochu clung to Chen Fan's arm somewhat dependently.
"Let's get married?"
"Hm?"
Su Ruochu said seriously, "Before, I always thought I was still young and didn't want to get married too early."
"But now, I've changed my mind. You're becoming more and more excellent, and I feel less and less confident in front of you."
"I'm afraid... I'm afraid something unexpected might happen in the future, especially since I'm going to graduate school, and we'll be in a long-distance relationship..."
Su Ruochu nervously gripped Chen Fan's arm, "Let's get married, or... at least have our parents meet for a meal first."
Chen Fan had a look of mixed amusement and exasperation.
"Silly girl. How could you think like that?"
"You have no idea how beautiful and excellent you are."
"You've already spoiled my standards. I won't even look at other women, let alone consider them."
Su Ruochu was a bit nervous, "But... there are always more beautiful women in the world."
Chen Fan smiled reassuringly, "There may be three thousand weak waters, but I'll only take one scoop!"
"I'm very content to have met you in this life."
"If you're willing, when we go back in a while, we can discuss it with our families first."
"Whether it's just a meal or to set the marriage, it's all up to you."
Su Ruochu gently rested her head on Chen Fan's shoulder.
"Thank you."
Chen Fan smiled as he looked at Su Ruochu's perfect face, feeling both amused and helpless inside.
In this reborn life, because of his rapid development, he had instead made Su Ruochu feel insecure.
This girl actually thought she wasn't good enough for him.
Silly girl.
Don't you know that in the previous life, there was a poor boy named Chen Fan who had nothing? Yet you were willing to share his joys and sorrows, treating each other with respect.
In the previous life, you had already proved your excellence.
In this life, I thank heaven for sending you to my side again.
You don't need to prove anything. I, Chen Fan, firmly believe that in this life, I will marry only you.
After quietly cuddling for a few minutes, Chen Fan suddenly leaned close to Su Ruochu's ear and whispered.
"Wife, actually just now... wasn't my real level of performance."
"How about giving me another chance to prove myself?"
Su Ruochu couldn't help but giggle, curling up under the sheets.
...
The next day, Chen Fan didn't accompany Su Ruochu but stayed in the dorm with his brothers.
On the last day, the five of them originally planned to visit Brother Jie, but unfortunately, it wasn't a visitation day.
They had to give up on that idea.
So the five of them toured the campus together, visiting the familiar sights they often passed by, and even sat in the classrooms where they usually had classes.
Lunch was at their favorite Third Canteen in the cafeteria.
In the afternoon, the five stayed in the dorm playing cards all afternoon.
In the evening, they bought groceries from outside and carried back several boxes of beer to the dorm.
Everything seemed to have returned to how it was when they first entered college.
That night, they drank, chatted, boasted, reminisced about the scenes from when they first entered school, and also imagined the future together...
The wine didn't intoxicate them, but they intoxicated themselves.
By the end, all five were a bit drunk.
Beer bottles were scattered all over the floor, tilting this way and that. No one cleaned up, no one washed up. They just flopped onto the beds and started a bedtime talk.
Even though they saw each other every day, it seemed like they still had endless things to talk about.
That night, they chatted until dawn.
Outside in the corridor, they could occasionally hear singing or shouting from other dorms.
It seemed it wasn't just dorm 519, everyone was the same, spending their last night at school in their own way.
The next morning, as usual, Sun Hao and Han Xu woke up early.
As they did every day, after washing up, they took the broom and swept the dorm once.
They even wiped every nook and cranny clean.
Then they went out to buy breakfast.
The five brothers ate their last breakfast together.
Standing shirtless in the dorm, they took a group photo.
Han Xu and Sun Hao's train was this morning, while Wu Di and Ma Xiaoshuai's was at noon.
So they first went to see off Sun Hao and Han Xu.
Dragging their two suitcases, standing at the bottom of the dorm building, Sun Hao and Han Xu turned to look at the location of dorm 519 behind them.
"Let's go."
Ma Xiaoshuai drove, with the others squeezed in the back seat.
As the car slowly drove out of the school gates, Sun Hao, who was usually introverted and calm, could no longer hold back and started to cry.
"Brothers, we must keep in touch often..."
Wu Di patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, you'll always live in our hearts."
"F**k!" Sun Hao cursed with a laugh.
"I'm not dead yet."
