Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Regret?

Wang Xiaohua was stunned for a moment.

He had never thought about regret before.

Naturally, he hasn't thought about regret now either.

But he has to admit that the relationship between him and Li Jianjia has undergone an earth-shattering change compared to when they first confirmed their relationship.

Back then he could distinctly feel happiness; every day was flavorful and full of anticipation, even though, same as now, he was living a dull three-points-and-a-line life at school!

But now, interacting with Li Jianjia, he constantly needs to comfort her, constantly give her a sense of security, repeatedly express that he truly loves her, and only then will her heart gain a sliver of peace.

Over time he felt pressure, and that original happiness gradually faded along with this pressure.

This is also why he sighed after finishing the phone call with Li Jianjia.

He knew he should be understanding toward Li Jianjia; Li Jianjia's depression has never fully healed, it's perfectly normal for Li Jianjia to think random wild thoughts, sometimes she can't even control the wild thoughts in her own head.

But it cannot be denied that, for him, this is truly a kind of consumption.

"Regret what! I've never regretted anything! Since I chose this road, naturally I must persist in walking it!"

After a moment of stunned silence, Wang Xiaohua wore a look of determination and said this to Wei Qian.

Wei Qian laughed and said:

"You subconsciously hesitated for a beat; hesitation is regret."

"No, how can you say that?" Wang Xiaohua was speechless.

Wei Qian earnestly advised him:

"Xiao Hua, not that I'm saying this to you, but if you truly regret it, then hurry up and break up; if you're married but haven't had kids, there's still room to maneuver; once a kid is born, there's truly no room left — after all, a child born cannot be stuffed back in!"

When Wang Xiaohua was on the phone with Li Jianjia, Wei Qian had been listening with ears pricked, so he knew about Li Jianjia urging Wang Xiaohua to have a child.

"Come on, Wei Qian, you're acting like a bound-footed woman?" Wen Lingyun couldn't stand watching and accused Wei Qian.

"How am I a bound-footed woman?" Wei Qian was speechless. "I'm doing this for Xiao Hua's own good!"

Wen Lingyun said:

"Only women would advise a best friend to break up; us men, we all advise brothers to make it work if they can!"

Wei Qian rolled his eyes:

"I'm not an ordinary man, okay? I'm a rational relationship expert!"

Wen Lingyun asked:

"You better not tell me you've switched girlfriends again!"

Wei Qian grinned: "You even guessed this! Let me show you a photo of my new girlfriend — Beijing University of the Arts, pretty, right!"

Wen Lingyun sighed:

"Since breaking up with Yun Shu, how many girlfriends have you gone through?"

"Not many, just 7 so far."

Wei Qian laughed carefreely:

"I've fully awakened — more awakened than Wang Yangming at Longchang. In university we should play when it's time to play, date as many girlfriends as we should; once we enter society, we won't have such good resources anymore! When you can eat more, you must eat a few more bites!"

Wen Lingyun sneered at Wei Qian's theory:

"You're wasting your youth, okay! As a Tsinghua person, I feel ashamed to share a dorm with you!"

Wei Qian chuckled:

"Young Master Wen, how about later I have my new girlfriend introduce a Beijing University of the Arts girl for you to meet?"

Wen Lingyun froze, then hardened his mouth:

"I don't want it; I still have to research hydrogen energy vehicles!"

Right at this moment, Wan Zhiyuan returned to the dorm.

He wore a smile on his face:

"Everyone, just now someone called me claiming to be from BYD; they said their company wants to buy my patent, and also wants me to work at their company after graduation, saying they can give an annual salary of over 1 million!"

"Holy shit, Wan Ge, you're awesome!"

Wei Qian immediately exclaimed, then flattered:

"Wan Ge, take me under your wing later; BYD is a big company, I've got nowhere to go, you gotta let them take me in!"

Wei Qian was obviously joking; his family had long since arranged everything perfectly for him, so how could he have nowhere to go?

Wen Lingyun said at this time:

"If it were me, I definitely wouldn't sell the patent; as for working at their company, unless they provide me a personal laboratory, I definitely wouldn't go!"

Wen Lingyun had already secured admission to study at Japan's University of Tokyo; he's going to Japan in the second half of the year to follow a hydrogen energy vehicle big-shot supervisor there and further research hydrogen energy vehicles!

Wan Zhiyuan said: "I feel working at their company isn't out of the question either; after all, this is the nation's largest new energy vehicle company, but I'm still waiting for Tesla's response to see what attitude they have toward me!"

Listening to their conversation, Wang Xiaohua only felt the distance between him and them growing farther and farther.

Looking back, when everyone first entered Tsinghua, they were all ignorant teenagers.

Now Wen Lingyun and Wan Zhiyuan determined their research directions early on and have achieved good results in their respective fields; Wei Qian changes girlfriends one after another, and although he hasn't achieved accomplishments in academics, he hasn't come to this university in vain either.

It seems only he, Wang Xiaohua, has been treading water in place all along.

Ever since dating Li Jianjia, he hasn't followed Wan Zhiyuan to do research anymore.

Even his exam scores showed a slight sign of regression.

Although with his current GPA, recommended admission for graduate study at his own university was definitely no problem.

But he always felt he had lost something.

Perhaps his competitive nature made him subconsciously feel he ought to be stronger.

But he also comforted himself in his heart: even if he truly put all his time into his studies, he might not be able to become as outstanding as Wen Lingyun and Wan Zhiyuan.

At least in academic research, he really did not have that aptitude.

At Tsinghua University, one must learn to accept mediocrity!

After all, everyone here is a pride of heaven!

Actually, for someone like Xiao Hua, who tested in by overperforming on the college entrance exam, not ending up at the bottom and failing courses already counts as not bad.

Xiao Hua's current grades, being able to rank at the middle level of the class, really is already good enough.

It's just that he has two excessively outstanding roommates, causing him to have a certain psychological gap.

"Xiao Hua, aren't you going to express an opinion?"

Xiao Hua was sighing inwardly with emotion when Wan Zhiyuan suddenly spoke up to ask him a question.

"Me?" Xiao Hua came back to his senses, couldn't help but be stunned, "What opinion can I express?"

Xiao Hua gave a bitter laugh.

Wan Zhiyuan then said:

"Aren't you going to take the civil service exam? You've read so much political news, give me an analysis — BYD and Tesla, which one will develop better in the future?"

Xiao Hua thought seriously for a moment, then said:

"Our country will definitely protect domestic enterprises, especially enterprises like BYD that can drive upstream and downstream development! But introducing Tesla will definitely also receive policy support, after all this enterprise was originally introduced to invigorate our country's new energy market, not to mention the location where Tesla settled is the city of Shanghai."

Wan Zhiyuan nodded slowly, feeling Xiao Hua's analysis had a certain principle, and continued to press:

"Then which one do you say is better?"

Xiao Hua said: "Each has its own pros and cons. If you want to contribute to the development of domestic enterprises, then go to BYD. If you purely just want a better research environment, then naturally going to Tesla is a bit better."
