Chapter 678: Men and First Love
After dinner, as they left the restaurant, Sun Hao smiled and suggested taking a stroll around the campus.
However, the girls said they had already toured the campus in the afternoon.
Su Qing suddenly spoke up, "It's getting late, why don't we call it a day?"
So everyone had to part ways.
Wu Di caught up and said he wanted to talk to Su Qing privately.
Su Qing spoke briefly with her roommates, then left with Wu Di.
Seeing this, Luo Wenjie hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to approach Liu Qianqian, wanting to chat with her alone.
Liu Qianqian considered it for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Finally, Lu Wei, Sun Min, and Song Linlin took a car and left first.
Chen Fan, Ma Xiaoshuai, Sun Hao, and Han Xu crossed the street and entered the campus.
Looking at the couples walking around the campus, Sun Hao let out a drunken hiccup.
"Sigh, I regret it more and more now. Why didn't I just prepare for another year back then?"
Ma Xiaoshuai laughed, "If you regret it so much, why don't you come back? Find a job in Yunhai, at least we brothers can see each other often."
Sun Hao was tempted but ultimately shook his head.
"Forget it. My girlfriend wouldn't agree."
"She longs for life in a big city and wants to settle down in a big city in the future."
"Sigh, but with my abilities, I doubt I'll be able to afford a house in Pudong in this lifetime."
The four of them walked to the lakeside, and Sun Hao suddenly said with a smile, "Remember our last gathering before graduation? We stood right here, all of us peeing into the lake together..."
"Damn. You still remember that?"
"What do you say? Want to do it again?"
Fearing that these guys might actually take off their pants and do it again, Chen Fan quickly spoke up.
"Don't mess around. If we do it again, the fish in this lake will probably all taste like baijiu."
The four found some steps to sit on casually in the campus, each with a cigarette in his mouth.
Sun Hao kept staring intently at the passing female students.
"Hey, you have to admit, the girls in school now are really getting better with each new year. Their dressing style is becoming more and more revealing."
"Brother Hao, when we were in school, you used to have a pure and faithful image. How come you're becoming more and more like Brother Jie now?"
Sun Hao glared, "Come on. Can't I even look?"
"These beauties spend so much time dressing up so beautifully, isn't it for people to appreciate?"
"If there weren't any eyes to appreciate them, wouldn't they be heartbroken?"
Chen Fan laughed and cursed, "I think you should be careful not to get corrupted by the bright lights and nightlife of the big city in the future."
Just then, Ma Xiaoshuai suddenly spoke up, "What do you guys think... how did the talk between Brother Di and Su Qing go this time?"
Chen Fan didn't say anything, but Sun Hao analyzed, "To be honest, I'm not very optimistic."
"Although Brother Di is handsome, Su Qing gives the impression of being very strong-willed. She's not the type to easily change her mind."
Ma Xiaoshuai nodded, clearly agreeing with this view.
"But compared to Brother Di, what's the deal with Brother Jie? Why did he ask to talk to Liu Qianqian alone?"
"Could it be that Brother Jie wants to eat old grass again?"
Just as they were gossiping, Ma Xiaoshuai's phone rang.
It was Wu Di calling.
"Where are you?"
Ma Xiaoshuai gave him a location.
"I'll be there soon."
Chen Fan also received a call from Luo Wenjie, and Chen Fan gave him the address as well.
Soon after, these two actually came back together.
Seeing shopping bags in their hands, Ma Xiaoshuai couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"
Brother Jie shrugged, "Brother Di asked us to buy these."
Wu Di shouted, "Let's go find a place to continue drinking. Tonight, everyone has to drink with me until we're wasted."
Chen Fan looked at Luo Wenjie, who said in a low voice, "It seems his talk with Su Qing didn't go well."
Indeed.
"Where should we drink?" Ma Xiaoshuai asked.
Chen Fan was about to suggest going to his teacher's apartment, but Wu Di said to go to the sports field.
So the six of them went to the sports field.
Sitting on the steps of the bleachers surrounding the field, the six lined up in a row. Wu Di took out beers and distributed one to each person.
"No one's allowed to slack off, we must all get drunk tonight."
Chen Fan took the beer and took a small sip before asking, "Tell us, what's going on?"
Wu Di gulped down a can of beer in one go, lowering his head as if he had lost his soul.
After a few seconds, he spoke with some fatigue.
"Su Qing said she wants to break up with me."
Sun Hao snapped his fingers, "As expected."
"This is indeed Su Qing's style."
Ma Xiaoshuai asked, "Didn't you talk it through properly?"
Wu Di shook his head, "We said everything that needed to be said, it was useless."
"Her attitude was very firm, break up."
Ma Xiaoshuai: "Are you very sad?"
"In my opinion, after what happened last time, you should have anticipated this scene."
Wu Di looked up at Ma Xiaoshuai, then lowered his head and sighed.
"I just didn't expect... she would take the initiative to break up with me."
Chen Fan understood that Su Qing's initiative to break up had hurt Wu Di's pride.
During their school days, Wu Di was very confident, confident in his looks, height, and all aspects of his conditions.
Indeed, during school, there were quite a few girls who pursued him, but Wu Di ultimately fell in love with Su Qing.
Perhaps, what hurt Wu Di wasn't that Su Qing proposed to break up tonight.
But that Su Qing's proposal to break up had hurt his pride.
Chen Fan raised his hand and patted Wu Di.
"When two proud people collide, one is bound to compromise. If neither can compromise, it's better to separate."
"And in my opinion, you had already made your choice long ago."
Wu Di sighed, "I actually understand her proposing to break up with me, but I still... feel very upset."
Ma Xiaoshuai sneered, "In my view, you're just wanting to have your cake and eat it too. Su Qing has the right to make her own choice..."
Fearing that these two might start arguing again, Chen Fan turned to look at Luo Wenjie, who was quietly drinking.
"How about you, Brother Jie? What did you talk about with Liu Qianqian?"
Sun Hao was also curious, "Yeah, Brother Jie, you're not planning to pursue Liu Qianqian again, are you?"
Luo Wenjie smiled, "I'm different from Brother Di, I have no intention of starting over with Liu Qianqian."
"Then why did you ask to talk to her alone?"
"I just asked her how she's been doing lately, how her work is, if there's anything I can help with... just showing concern between friends."
Chen Fan suddenly smiled and asked, "Do you still have feelings for Liu Qianqian?"
The smile on Luo Wenjie's face suddenly froze, then his whole body went limp like a deflated balloon.
"It would be a lie to say I don't. But to actually be together... I understand that's impossible."
"Since that's the case, it's better not to invite trouble for myself, just wish her happiness."
Chen Fan gave a thumbs up, "You're enlightened."
Luo Wenjie smiled bitterly, "Just putting on a brave face."
"After all, she was my first love."
"Bullshit! I remember when we first started school, you said you had breakup sex with your high school girlfriend before you split up," Ma Xiaoshuai mercilessly exposed.
Luo Wenjie glared, "What did I know about love in high school?"
"Besides, once I got to university, Liu Qianqian became my first love."
At this point, Wu Di suddenly spoke up, "Su Qing was my first love too."
Sun Hao interjected with a smile, "Don't you think, for guys, their first love always holds a very special place in their emotions throughout their lives?"
This statement made everyone fall silent.
Indeed, which man hasn't experienced a few deeply emotional loves in his life?
But if you really ask them to recall, the position of their first love in their hearts is definitely the most special.
Wu Di finished another can of beer, clearly starting to feel the effects.
He casually threw the empty can down and laughed self-mockingly.
"What is first love? It's just a joke!"
"My four years of first love in university, apart from holding hands and hugging, I got nothing..."
Now everyone understood. Perhaps Wu Di wasn't regretting that Su Qing said she wanted to break up, but regretting that he had persisted for four years, only to end up with nothing in the end.
Chen Fan leaned back on the steps with a cigarette in his mouth, looking at the distant sports field, and slowly said,
"First love is just like that."
"It's loving without obtaining, obtaining without cherishing, letting go without releasing, abandoning without resignation. For half a lifetime..."
"Full of regrets."
