The most obvious difference between university life and high school life is that university offers more autonomy. Whether it’s in studying or in life, there is no one pressuring you from behind. It all depends on how you arrange and decide things for yourself.
At the start of the new semester, as the only directing class among the freshmen year, the 26 male students in the class held some class committee elections and even specially elected a “class flower”. And this person they chose was none other than Yan Liben, the second older brother from Luo Xiao’s dorm. Of course, Yan Liben’s weak protests were simply ignored by the rest, who claimed that they couldn’t even hear them.
Due to the small number of students, and the fact that they were all straightforward big guys without too many petty concerns, the bond grew rapidly. In less than a week, they were all addressing each other as brothers.
Regarding this situation, their counselor and performance class teacher Wei Guolin remarked that it had saved him a lot of trouble.
Right after the semester started, they had a half-month military training. Before they could even attend many classes, the motherland’s birthday arrived, bringing a 7-day long holiday. It was perfect for the many students who were away from home for the first time to have some fun.
“Hey, what are you guys planning for the National Day holiday?” The second brother, Yan Liben, casually asked while lounging by the bed.
The eldest brother touched his short hair and smiled and said, “I’ll probably go visit the Forbidden City. I’ve always wanted to see the imperial palace since I was a child. Now that I’m studying here, I have to go take a look and tell my friends all about it when I get back.”
“Oh? And what about you, old scholar?” Yan Liben raised an eyebrow, “Don’t tell me you don’t plan to go out and play at all.”
Qiu Lu pushed up his glasses, nodded and then replied, “Well, I plan to stay in the library. I found several books there that I’ve been looking for a long time but couldn’t buy. I want to take advantage of this 7-day holiday to read them carefully.”
“Goodness, you’re really planning to spend it like this.” Yan Liben looked a bit defeated, then turned to Luo Xiao with pursed lips, “Then what about you, fourth brother? What are your plans?”
Luo Xiao paused his packing and smiled, “As for me, I’ll probably go hang out with my friends.”
“Huh? Your friend?” When Yan Liben heard this, he immediately came over with a sly smile and asked, “Is it a girl? What does she look like?”
Luo Xiao pushed his head away and directly rolled his eyes. “You’re overthinking it, it’s a guy.”
“Tsk, whatever, it’s actually a guy.” Yan Liben immediately shrank back, the disappointment on his face was extremely obvious.
Luo Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth. What’s wrong with a guy, do you have to treat the genders so differently?
“Fourth brother, don’t mind him, he’s just a tomcat in heat.” Third brother Qiu Lu looked at Yan Liben indifferently and then flipped a page of the book, saying directly, “Don’t lower your own standards because of him.”
“You old scholar, who are you talking about!” Yan Liben immediately flared up and shouted.
Qiu Lu did not answer. But after finishing a page, he calmly replied during the page turning, “Listen, isn’t he the only one in heat?”
“You!” Yan Liben was so angry that he was shivering, “None of you stop me, let me give this old scholar a good beating today!”
“…We’re not stopping you.” Luo Xiao paused and still couldn’t help but laugh.
Yan Liben looked around. Well, it’s like this again. He was so angry that he just turned his head, muttering to himself: What kind of brothers are these, there’s no brotherly love at all!
Of course, if you think the matter ends here, Luo Xiao, who has experience in watching the show, will tell you that you are wrong.
Sure enough, Qiu Lu said another sentence: “Getting sulky is really feminine…”
Okay, Yan Liben didn’t bother to get angry anymore. He just started arguing with him. Ke Zheng and Luo Xiao looked at each other. This, the atmosphere in the dormitory is really harmonious! Their relationship is really good!
Luo Xiao and Ye Lan were not in the same university, and the distance between their schools was not very close, so it was not very convenient for them to meet up. They could only go out and see each other on Saturdays and Sundays, but for Ye Lan, that time was far from enough! Why is it that after becoming couple, the time other people spent together is more than before, but for them it has become less? They even lost the most basic thing of going to and from school together, super unhappy!!
After nodding to the three people in the dormitory, Luo Xiao picked up his well-organized luggage and walked out of the school gate. He had to hurry home. Because if he got back late, Ye Lan, that stingy guy, would toss him hard again.
Because he knew that the future house prices in B City would rise rapidly like a rocket, he should buy a few properties while he had money now and the current house prices were relatively low, right? Of course, Ye Lan, that far-sighted guy, had already bought a few prime locations in advance. Sometimes, Luo Xiao looked at him and felt a bit ashamed. He bought these based on his past life experience, but the other party was a true business genius. But even so, it didn’t mater, he was still Luo Xiao’s man, hehe!
“Xiao Xiao, I miss you so much~” As soon as Luo Xiao opened the door and before he could put down the luggage in his hand, he was hugged tightly by Ye Lan, who then nuzzled his neck.
Luo Xiao patted his back and said with difficulty, “Yezi, if you don’t let go, I won’t be able to breathe.”
Ye Lan reluctantly let go after nuzzling a few more times, but still kept one arm around his shoulder, constantly complaining, “Xiao Xiao, look, we used to go to and from school together. But now, we only see each other once a week. What kind of couple is this! How about I transfer to your school?”
“Alright, don’t say that kind of thing again.” In fact, Luo Xiao also knew that Ye Lan’s talk of transferring schools was just a joke. He knew clearly that the other party really liked that feeling of “fighting” in the business world.
“By the way, do you have any plans for the National Day holiday?” Luo Xiao asked Ye Lan as he walked into the room and organized his things.
Ye Lan, the life idiot, knew he couldn’t help much, so he just leaned against the door and watched him organize. “Whatever you want, as long as I’m with you, these seven days will be fine.”
After organizing everything, Luo Xiao pulled him towards the living room. “Since that’s the case, let’s first solve our dinner problem and then make specific plans.”
“Okay, sure.” Ye Lan nodded nonchalantly.
Luo Xiao walked into the kitchen, looked at the things Ye Lan had bought, and decided what to have for dinner this night.
“Xiao Xiao, you have no idea, when I went to buy vegetables today, the market was so dirty!” Ye Lan hugged Luo Xiao’s waist and said coquettishly, “I don’t even want to go in there anymore!”
Okay, was he indirectly explaining why he only bought a few tomatoes? Luo Xiao nodded, indicating that he understood. After all, he also knew that Ye Lan was a neat freak. For him to actively go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables was quite rare.
But thinking about it this way, a thought flashed through Luo Xiao’s mind. After he boiled the noodles and had Ye Lan serve them on the table, he smiled and said to him: “If you don’t like going to the dirty market to buy vegetables, then go to a clean place instead.”
“Huh? A clean place?” Ye Lan tilted his head in confusion, “Where’s that?”
Luo Xiao pointed to the bowl in front of him. “Hurry up and eat, or the noodles will get soggy and won’t taste good. I’ll tell you after you’re done eating.”
Ye Lan nodded and began to eat the simple tomato and egg noodles. Hmm, although it was a simple dish, his Xiao Xiao’s cooking skills were definitely worth praising!
After finishing the noodles, Ye Lan actively washed the bowl. Hearing no sound of anything breaking in the kitchen, Luo Xiao heaved a small sigh of relief. You know, Ye Lan, this idiot in life skills, had broken or smashed countless bowls just from washing them alone. But he insisted on participating in housework, so washing dishes, sweeping the floor, and the like were all left to him. At least for now, the results were acceptable.
“Here, Xiao Xiao.” Ye Lan poured a cup of juice and handed it to Luo Xiao, then sat down next to him and asked, “Can you tell me now?”
“Of course.” Luo Xiao took a sip of the juice. “What I want to say is, we can set up a supermarket, a large supermarket.”
“Supermarket?” Ye Lan quickly reacted. This supermarket concept was not yet well known on the mainland, but in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and abroad, it already existed.
Under Luo Xiao’s explanation, Ye Lan’s eyes visibly lit up: Hmm, this supermarket can exist, it must exist! And the goal must be a chain, a global chain!
Although he had already established two companies under his name, the real estate sector had not yet reached its peak returns. It was still in the early stage of investing in buying and acquisition of land, so there were not many things to do. As for the network company, it was also just taking it slowly. Moreover, there was the capable worker Hao Ben, and Ye Lan expressed that he had the energy to do this supermarket business.
Ye Lan and Luo Xiao discussed the relevant matters in detail. Under Ye Lan’s insistence, Luo Xiao, as another shareholder, joined him in establishing this Luo Ye Food Co., Ltd. As for why it was called Luo Ye, the reason, hehe, everyone knows!
After discussing this matter, it was time for Ye Lan to do something that he had insisted on doing every day for the past four years–sleeping!
Now that they had become a couple, and there was no longer the meddlesome Mr. Huo, Ye Lan’s confidence in the success of this matter had greatly increased.
“Xiao Xiao, how about we do it together tonight~” Ye Lan hugged Luo Xiao’s waist from behind and tempted him in his ear, intentionally sticking out his tongue and licking it.
Luo Xiao’s ears were always a sensitive area. Being treated this way by Ye Lan, his whole body trembled. He forcefully broke free, covering his flushed right ear with his hand, and glared at Ye Lan with flushed face: “You! This matter, heh! Don’t even think about it!”
Watching Luo Xiao’s retreating back, Ye Lan licked his lips and stroked his chin, thinking to himself: Hmm, sure enough, I still need to be more demanding…
