~14 min read 2,764 words

After taking the cigarette handed over by Wang Yan, Ye Jiping said with his characteristic accent: "Wang Yan, why don't you go ride a motorcycle? Aren't you and Gu Yixin friends? At this time, you two are entangled, how nice."

"There's nothing to ride on a motorcycle, the speed isn't fast, the route isn't long, it's not interesting. As for being entangled, there are too many times to be entangled, so it's no big deal to miss this one. It also saves us from eating dust on that dirt road; it's all quiet."

"Exactly, Old Wang is right." Yu Hao stood upwind to avoid the secondhand smoke, "And the sun is not small; riding two laps will tan people, it's too ugly. Teacher Ye, you've been here several times, and you haven't told us to explain, to deny this proposal and change to another one."

Ye Jiping laughed: "You are all like this, basically choosing these three, all choosing the one in the middle, and then you are not very satisfied after coming. Actually, I have also been to the one you chose that has the best reputation, and it's not much better than here, but the consumption is much higher. Comprehensively speaking, this one has the highest cost-performance ratio.

I know your family conditions are good and you don't lack money, but you should save where you should save and spend where you should spend. Even if you go to another one, you will still be dissatisfied. Since that's the case, why not choose this one and spend less money."

Wang Yan echoed: "Teacher Ye sees it clearly."

"I don't see it clearly either; I just went to school a few years earlier than you, stayed to teach, and watched freshmen for two more years." Ye Jiping waved his hand modestly and comforted Yu Hao, "Actually, you don't have to worry; there will be many activities in the future. After all, you are studying photography, and you will inevitably go to other places to participate in exhibitions in the future, as well as other activities, and you will have to take photos and intern. If you want to participate, there will be more than you can handle."

Ye Jiping is right; the most common thing in this world is activities. It is to build small circles, fool little fools, maintain mystery, maintain authority, and expand the market.

So if you want to participate in activities, big or small, serious or unserious, there are plenty of activities to participate in. For example, big and small film exhibitions, messy evaluations, other activities in the name of public welfare...

Ye Jiping turned and asked: "Wang Yan, I heard you opened a studio at the north gate of the school?"

Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "I'm homeless, wherever I am is home, isn't this just wanting to have a nest here."

"Waste of money." Ye Jiping shook his head repeatedly, "If you had told me earlier, I definitely wouldn't have let you open this studio. You know, our school has staff dormitories, and I'll leave when the holiday comes; you can just go live in my dormitory.

Look at you opening a shop now, rent, renovation, furniture, I'm afraid it cost 200,000, and that's a low estimate. In the future, the annual rent will be 300,000 to 400,000. Yes, you open a studio, you can take some jobs like portraits and weddings, but you are unfamiliar with the place, and it's too difficult to develop business. When the time comes, you will support people, and you will have to buy a lot of equipment, and another few hundred thousand will be gone.

Ah, yes, look, this is heading towards one million, and that's just the money for these two years. With this money, you could buy a two-bedroom house near our school; it might be old, but the economic situation is good now, and it will definitely increase in price. When you graduate from university, you can sell it without big taxes. I know you have money, but you can't be so wasteful. You are confused, Wang Yan!

Why don't you stop while you haven't spent too much, don't throw money into it. Just live like this for a year, stop the loss in time..."

Ye Jiping was heartbroken and earnest, really afraid that Wang Yan would spend himself poor and have no future. He knew that Wang Yan might be more mature, but because the two sides communicated less, it was inevitable to treat Wang Yan as a child. After all, whether one is mature or not is not distinguished by age, but by the understanding of the world, the perception of life, and the undertaking of responsibility.

Watching Yu Hao run to the side to be vain, Wang Yan still chose to give this relatively responsible teacher peace of mind.

"Old Ye, you said residential houses can increase in price, our location is so good, shops should also increase, right?"

"Definitely, although the north side is not as good as the south side, but also..." Ye Jiping was stunned for a moment, finally reacted, and widened his eyes, "You bought that shop?"

Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "I was afraid that classmates would spread it everywhere, making it known throughout the school, and making it a big deal. So I said it was rented, and this has already caused a big stir; if I said I bought it, wouldn't it be even more restless? Teacher Ye, you must keep it secret for me. If I wasn't afraid that you would be worried and unable to sleep, I definitely wouldn't have told you."

"Then I thank you, allowing me to sleep well."

Ye Jiping felt the shock from wealth and was speechless.

He is also an art student, and later took the postgraduate entrance examination and stayed to teach. It can be said that he has money and resources, and his family conditions are also excellent. But even so, he had a new understanding of Wang Yan's wealth.

After all, a shop with an area of more than 800 square meters on three floors, and in such a location, the house price must be more than 10 million. Obviously, it is impossible for Wang Yan to buy it with a loan, and he paid the full amount in cash...

He might be even less able to sleep.

He feels uncomfortable when he is poor and can't bear to see it, but Wang Yan is too rich, and this kind of person who can be called a "tycoon" is an eighteen-year-old student under his own command, which is another feeling...

He flicked the cigarette ash and said to Wang Yan: "Don't worry, I will definitely keep it secret for you."

They smoked, chatted, ate fruit, and ate melon seeds comfortably, and other classmates also returned one after another.

The first to return was Zhong Bai, dragging a trail of dust, parked the motorcycle, and walked to the side alone to sulk.

"What's wrong?" Ye Jiping was confused, "It was fine when you went out, why are you angry when you came back?"

"It's so obvious, Teacher Ye, troubled by love." Yu Hao ate melon seeds, like an old sister-in-law, and popularized the things between Xiao Haiyang, Lu Qiaochuan, Zhong Bai, and Lin Luoxue to Ye Jiping.

But it was only a rough introduction, and he didn't say much in detail. After all, it's enough to know what's going on, and there's no need to know so many details.

Not long after Zhong Bai returned, others returned one after another.

Gu Yixin and Li Shuci returned together. They walked to Wang Yan's side, and Yu Hao hurriedly asked: "Yixin, is there anything that happened that we don't know?"

"I don't need to say it; you'll understand when you see it in a while." Gu Yixin also smiled as she ate the melon.

Not long after, they saw Xiao Haiyang and Bi Shisan riding back slowly together. Not far behind them were Lu Qiaochuan and Lin Luoxue, who were riding together even more slowly.

"Oh~" Yu Hao let out a long "oh", "I knew it would be like this. From the beginning of school until now, it's been more than two months, and I don't know when it will end."

Xiao Haiyang walked over and hugged Yu Hao's neck: "Can you please say a little less."

Because Yu Hao's voice was not low, the scene became a bit awkward.

"Really, you manage the sky and the earth, and you also manage people telling the truth. Hurry up and let go, you messed up my hairstyle, annoying!"

"Alright, alright, stop making trouble, it's almost time, let's go back, we can start the barbecue. Today we eat well and drink well, and don't return until we are drunk." Ye Jiping greeted, which relieved the small embarrassment, and everyone laughed and went back to the big courtyard.

At this time, the barbecue rack was already prepared, and various meat skewers were marinated by the boss a day in advance and skewered today, which was still quite fresh.

After it was decided to start the barbecue, the shop owner brought other hot dishes and cold dishes, and boxes of iced beer and drinks were brought up, and everyone started to get lively.

As a person who loves to contribute, Wang Yan took the initiative to serve the classmates, put on gloves, and guarded the oven to start the barbecue.

Mainly, the craftsmanship of these teachers and classmates didn't even need to be tasted to know it must be terrible. He never made things difficult for himself in eating and drinking; if he could eat well, he would never eat poorly, so he could only do it himself.

"Delicious!"

"Old Wang, thank you for your hard work."

"Old Wang, roast more squid, I want to eat squid!"

"Come, Old Wang, drink one, drink one. This villa is not very good, but your barbecue skills are impeccable. With today's barbecue, this trip can be considered a pass."

Everyone was enthusiastic, fooling the little fool to work hard.

Wang Yan was very comfortable, guarding the barbecue box, roasting and eating himself, holding a beer bottle and drinking comfortably, very dashing.

"Old Wang, I didn't expect you to know how to barbecue, and it's so delicious." Gu Yixin ate with her mouth full of oil.

"No way, my parents left early. Although they left enough money, there are always inconvenient times. I learned this specifically by working as a small worker in a barbecue shop when I was idle."

"You are really diligent for a bite of food." Gu Yixin clicked her tongue in admiration, "So you can also cook?"

"I've also worked in a restaurant." Wang Yan nodded with a smile.

The two were laughing and talking here, while at the long table over there, everyone was laughing and joking. Just next to Wang Yan, Xiao Haiyang and the others were sitting there gloomily.

Because Zhong Bai was drinking alone and not talking, Xiao Haiyang followed her gloomily. Lu Qiaochuan looked at Zhong Bai throwing a tantrum and seemed confused, and didn't say much. Lin Luoxue, who was sitting next to him, was smiling, with some detachment, as if she was a character watching the excitement, if she wasn't looking at Bi Shisan.

And Bi Shisan and Li Shuci were already gloomy, so they couldn't count on them to liven up the atmosphere. Yu Hao knew the relationship, but he didn't have the idea of adjusting for them and went to be lively with Jiang Yunming and others.

So the long table was half gloomy and half noisy, and the contrast was obvious.

"Old Wang, Old Wang, is my squid ready?" Yu Hao leaned over with a beer bottle.

Wang Yan picked up the squid and looked at it, then used a knife to make the squid bloom: "Two minutes."

"Really good, who would have thought that we could even have a master chef specifically. Old Wang, you have worked hard, the organization will not forget you."

"Then this is really organized." Gu Yixin even mocked.

Wang Yan raised the beer bottle: "Drink, drink."

"Look at them..." Yu Hao smiled, gloating, "I feel awkward just looking at them."

This kind of awkwardness lasted until everyone was drunk, and it was considered over, because everyone else was already howling and acting crazy, and Zhong Bai and the others were also drunk from drinking, so they scattered to chat...

"Bi Shisan, come with me, I have something I want to tell you."

Lin Luoxue, who had been quiet for a long time, stood up. At this moment, her face was already flushed from drinking, and she went straight to find Bi Shisan.

Frowning at Lin Luoxue, who was about to cry, Bi Shisan thought for a while and still got up to follow. He thought that calling someone out to talk should make sense.

Lin Luoxue looked at Wang Yan, who was still barbecuing, gave Wang Yan a smile, let out a long breath, followed Bi Shisan, walked away, and went to a place where no one was to talk in a low voice.

"Give me some more lamb skewers, and beef skewers, Li Shuci also wants to eat." Bi Shisan walked silently to Wang Yan.

Wang Yan casually took a plate from the side, picked up the meat skewers and put them on the plate: "Eat more, there are still many."

Bi Shisan nodded silently, carried the plate back to sit down, and enjoyed the food with Li Shuci...

"Shisan, where is Luoxue?" Lu Qiaochuan asked.

Bi Shisan tilted his head: "I don't know, I came back first."

Lu Qiaochuan nodded, sat for less than five minutes, and after making eye contact with Zhong Bai again, he got up and left the table...

After ten minutes, Lu Qiaochuan returned, sitting there drinking in a daze.

After another ten minutes, Lin Luoxue walked back, saw that there was no one beside Wang Yan, and sat over with wine.

"Where is Gu Yixin?"

"Went back to sleep." Wang Yan turned his head to look at her red and swollen eyes, and took a chili pepper for her: "This chili is particularly spicy."

"No need." Lin Luoxue shook her head repeatedly, "I deserve it, I brought it on myself."

So Wang Yan looked up and ate a whole chili pepper, then raised the beer bottle: "Then you should drink more wine, one drunk relieves a thousand worries."

Lin Luoxue looked up and drank it all, then took a lamb skewer and ate it bit by bit.

"You are still so dashing and comfortable, not thinking about anything."

"In a bad mood, so you want to say something literary and talk about some life principles?" Wang Yan ate a beef skewer, "We are all only eighteen years old, how mature can we be? Eighty? In the grave?"

Lin Luoxue choked, couldn't help but pat him: "Youthful worries, why do they sound so bad in your mouth."

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, now you are the one stirring up the thoughts of four people, making everyone restless; you should be quite happy."

"Which five?"

"Lu Qiaochuan, Zhong Bai, Xiao Haiyang, Ren Yifan. The last time we drank in the ancient town, it was Ren Yifan who proposed it."

"I know, he also looked for me privately, asking me to let go of Lu Qiaochuan." Lin Luoxue chuckled, and drank wine again.

"Aren't you just showing kindness and letting go of Lu Qiaochuan."

"Actually, I really don't care about these, but at that time Ren Yifan said I just wanted to play with Lu Qiaochuan's feelings, gain a sense of superiority, and never treated Lu Qiaochuan as a friend. In those few seconds after he finished confessing to me, my mind flashed back like a revolving lantern. Speaking of which, I really don't have many friends, so I should cherish them."

Lin Luoxue sighed, "I know we can't be friends in the future, but it's better than a destined breakup, which would be even worse. At least now we can maintain it, don't you think?"

"As long as you think so, drink."

Beer bottles collided, Lin Luoxue sighed: "What a terrible day..."

After saying that, she drank wine again, not stopping until she was drunk.

And at this time, Jiang Yunming started singing over there.

I know, she doesn't love me~
