By June, it was once again the annual graduation season. Wang Shu, who was sleeping soundly in his hotel, was awakened by a barrage of phone calls early in the morning.
The caller was his college roommate, Chen Pi, asking if he planned to return to school for the graduation ceremony.
Wang Shu's university was not far from Modu; it was located in Jiangchuan City, next door to Modu. Therefore, he didn't refuse and casually agreed.
Afterward, he packed his things and bought a train ticket to school.
Wang Shu didn't remember much of his college memories, but he had a deep impression of his roommates.
Since they left school in their third year, their contact had gradually decreased over the year, as they were all busy with internships and other matters.
Therefore, Wang Shu wanted to take this opportunity to understand more about the original owner's life in this world.
After a journey of about an hour, Wang Shu arrived in Jiangchuan City. As soon as he got off the train, he saw his roommate Chen Minghao, nicknamed Chen Pi, waiting for him outside the station.
According to his memory, Chen Minghao was one of Wang Shu's few good friends in college, and they were almost inseparable during their university years.
Seeing Wang Shu walk out of the station, Chen Minghao strode forward and threw an arm around Wang Shu's neck.
"Wang Shu, what happened to you these past six months? It's like you disappeared! Why haven't you ever replied to my messages or calls?" Chen Minghao asked loudly.
"What good can come from you sending me messages?" Wang Shu rolled his eyes at the guy, slapped his arm off his neck, and said, "It's so hot, aren't you hot?"
"Not at all. After hearing what you just said, my heart has gone completely cold," Chen Minghao said, feigning a wronged expression at Wang Shu.
Wang Shu was utterly speechless at his incorrigible roommate. If he could channel this kind of charm into wooing girls, he might have a harem by now.
Unfortunately, this guy's greatest hobby in life was watching adult films, a complete waste of his tall stature and good looks.
Afterward, the two of them took a taxi straight to Jiangchuan University.
Because it was the graduation ceremony for the seniors today, Jiangchuan University was exceptionally lively compared to usual.
There were people gathered in almost every corner, with seniors in academic gowns taking photos and freshmen rushing to class with books in hand.
Everywhere he looked, he saw flashes of fair legs.
"Youth is good, isn't it? Ever since I left campus last year, I feel like I've aged several years," Chen Minghao couldn't help but sigh, looking at the pretty freshmen in JK skirts and black stockings hurrying past.
"Yeah, I can tell too. Have you been experiencing memory loss, slow reactions, insomnia at night, oversleeping during the day, weakness, lower back pain, and significant hair loss lately?" Wang Shu asked with a slight smile, patting Chen Minghao's shoulder meaningfully.
"Yes! How did you know? Wang Shu, is something really wrong with me? You have to help me!" Chen Minghao trembled upon hearing Wang Shu's words, freezing in place. His gaze shifted from the JK freshman to Wang Shu's face, and he asked in surprise.
"Alas! I can't help you with this matter!" Wang Shu shook his head helplessly, looking at Chen Minghao with a sigh.
"You can only control yourself more. Don't ruin your brother at such a young age." Wang Shu said to Chen Minghao earnestly, then walked ahead towards the university's auditorium with his hands behind his back.
Chen Minghao was left standing there, dumbfounded. After a few seconds, he suddenly realized what Wang Shu meant.
Upon arriving at the auditorium, Wang Shu found his seat in the Journalism Department.
As the graduation ceremony was about to begin, Wang Shu noticed some of his classmates arriving as soon as he sat down.
Of course, these people were not friends to Wang Shu; they were merely classmates who were thrown together during college.
Everyone had their own social circles, and Wang Shu had little interaction with most of them during his time at university, let alone any contact after leaving.
"Wang Shu, I didn't expect you to come back!" A man with slicked-back hair, a middle part, lipstick, and dressed head-to-toe in designer brands said to Wang Shu in surprise.
Wang Shu looked up and realized it was Tian Fen, the class monitor.
Wang Shu quickly searched his memory for information about this class monitor, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't recall any interaction he had with him.
"We're having a farewell dinner after the graduation ceremony. Do you want to join? It's my treat!" Tian Fen added, smiling at Wang Shu.
"Yes! We'll definitely go!" Before Wang Shu could reply, Chen Pi, who had arrived late, panted and said.
"Then it's settled. Room 250 at Jinwei Ju outside the school! Be sure to come!" After speaking, Tian Fen turned to the group of female classmates behind him and emphasized again.
"You're too quick to speak. How did this guy get so rich?" Wang Shu was exasperated with Chen Minghao, wondering if he had any principles at all, mooching off a meal.
"You don't know that Tian Fen is pursuing a career in the entertainment industry? He's even going to perform as a representative of the graduates later!" Chen Minghao explained to Wang Shu.
"Pursuing a career in entertainment? Becoming a star?" Wang Shu was slightly surprised. No wonder the young girls around him were looking at him with adoration, eager to pounce on him.
"He's not exactly a star, but he joined an idol group and played the second male lead in a web drama. Of course, it's not something we can compare to," Chen Minghao continued.
Based on Chen Minghao's description, Wang Shu had a general understanding of his class monitor's situation.
He was surprised that a journalism major could venture into the entertainment industry; it certainly showed some talent.
As expected, during the subsequent graduation performance, Class Monitor Tian put on a show that combined sports and dance.
The main props were overalls and a basketball, and Wang Shu's perception was completely reshaped by this performance.
Wearing overalls, Tian Fen showcased various skills like dribbling and crossing over on stage. He then threw the basketball towards the audience.
He began to flaunt his dance moves and charm, eliciting cheers and screams from the female audience members.
"Fenfen! Go!"
"Fenfen, I love you!"
"Fenfen! I want to have your babies!"
The male audience members below were stunned. Even Wang Shu was so embarrassed that he could have picked his socks apart with his toes.
