Chapter 706: Youth. Zeal

her heart pounding in her chest. 。And from their several encounters, she found her mother wasn't as frightening as people said, at least for now, she was quite amiable. 。Cheng Zhimin nodded in agreem...After the enrollment procedures were over, military training started right away. With that, Tian Lan's life finally got back on track. Every day was divided into segments, each filled with activities. Coupled with the grueling and tiring nature of military training, she didn't have the energy to dwell on past events anymore. Her demeanor gradually became more positive and lively.

In September, Senzhou's weather was still very hot. Every time she went to military training, she ran with her face bare. Lin Zhixuan observed her for two days and finally couldn't help himself. He pressed her down on a chair and applied a thick layer of sunscreen to her face, neck, and other parts.

"Shushu, even if your natural conditions are good, you can't mistreat them like this. You must do a good job of sun protection, otherwise, you'll have spots on your face and cry about it."

Lin Zhihao was applying sunscreen to her while feeling a mix of envy and admiration. Her skin was so good! He'd never seen her do any skincare, just slapping on some basic lotion every day, but her skin was fair and supple, like the legendary mutton fat jade.

People are really pissing me off!

"Shushu, if I were a boy, I would definitely pursue you."

When someone praised her so directly, Tinglan could only smile foolishly: "It's not that exaggerated."

"It's not an exaggeration at all, you are the most natural beauty I've ever seen. And you should smile more, you look beautiful when you smile."

"You look good too."

"This is all done with makeup, a kind of plastic surgery-like effect." Lin Zhihao was honest. Her beauty comes from makeup, her figure, and her temperament, all combined to make her look good, unlike Ting Lan's pure natural beauty."

Tinglan laughed again. She found that she really liked Lin Zhi's personality. Being with her, one felt very relaxed and smiled more unconsciously.

"Well well, thank you."

After military training, when Lan wanted to check on their mother at the rented apartment, they called and learned that their mother had found a job as an accountant in a factory on the outskirts of Senzhou. The job came with accommodation and meals, so she gave up the apartment.

He could hear the whispers but remained unconcerned. After all, his mother was an accountant by trade, and finding a similar position in Senzhou shouldn't be difficult.

"Mom, can you send me the address of your company I want to go and see you." She said on the phone.

"No need, it's a bit far from your school here. When Mom has a day off, I'll go to your school and see you."

"Okay then, Mom, take care of yourself."

"Understood, you too. Study hard in school."

"Good."

Tinglan hung up the phone, knowing that her mother was also settled down and relaxed.

This weekend, everyone in the dorm was doing their own thing. Gao Gao on the opposite side had already rushed home last night, Tong Tong was lying in her bed chatting with her boyfriend who's studying at university back home, and Lin Zhixuan was laughing and crying while reading a novel.

Listening to the waves alone, suddenly remembered that since he came to Senzhou, he hadn't contacted Cheng Chen, so he hurriedly opened his account which he hadn't logged into for a long time.

As soon as she opened it, hundreds of messages flooded in. She didn't know who had added her to the high school group, but everyone was sharing about their college life.

Lu Kuò was the most active, @ing her and several other classmates many times in the group, saying that they were all from Senzhou and could contact each other.

She glanced at it and silently quit the group.

There are still dozens of messages left, half from Lu Kuo and half from Cheng Chen.

She opened Cheng Chen's information first.

Tinglan, Tinglan, have you arrived in Senzhou

How is university life treating you

Are you guys hard to get along with

Why aren't you replying to my messages

Once you're online, leave me a message and send me your phone number from Senzhou.

I will keep it confidential and won't give your phone number to anyone.

Tinglan, I miss you.

Seeing Cheng Chen's message, Ting Lan felt very guilty and quickly replied. She briefly told her current situation and also sent her new phone number to Cheng Chen.

After finishing the reply, I will go to open Lu Kuo's chat window.

Lu Kuo sent several crying emojis.

Tinglan, where did you go

Please give me your new phone number.

I miss you guys. Will you be back to Qining during the holiday I'm going to Qining to see Chengchen, will you be there too

Tinglan finished reading the comments without replying and silently added Lu Kuo to her blacklist.

She had no opinion on Lu Kuo, nor any feelings, so she didn't want to contact anyone from before. She deleted it casually, this one was left for Cheng Chen only.

Lu Kuo had a great time in university, he was very content and it could be said that this was the happiest time of his more than ten years of studying. If you ask if there was anything regrettable

Of course.

Besides Chen Cheng, who is not often seen, it's Zhu Yu An.

He and Zhuo Yu'an grew up together since they were little, never having been apart. However, Zhuo Yu'an left without a word, not even saying goodbye to him, and went abroad to study. He was so angry that he hadn't taken the initiative to contact him for a long time.

But Zhuo Yu'an, that stubborn man, didn't take the initiative to contact him and he wouldn't take the initiative to contact Zhuo Yu'an either. If it wasn't for fear that Zhuo Yu'an would die in a foreign country, he wouldn't even bother to pay attention.

Lu Kuo cursed inwardly, but he was the one who reached out first.

"Are you alive"

That was two months after the disappearance.

"Mm." Zhuo Yu'an replied quickly.

Lu Kuo glanced at the time. According to the time difference, it should be midnight in Zhuo Yu'an's place.

"What are you doing up at night"

"Read a book."

Lu Kuo was speechless, but this was very much in line with Zhuo Yu'an's character.

"How come you all went MIA one by one You vanished without a trace to study abroad, and Tinglan just disappeared completely. Each of you is too much!"

Lu Kuo has already seen that Tinglan deleted him.

After complaining to Zhuo Yu'an, I didn't get a reply for a long time.

It wasn't until a full week had passed, one afternoon, that I suddenly received a message from Zhuo Yu'an.

"Isn't she at Senzhou University"

Lu Kuò: "Your reaction time could circle the Earth."

Zhu Yu'an didn't reply again.

Lu Kuo ignored him anymore.

Although they grew up together, Zhuo Yu'an has always been more introverted and doesn't put everything on display. So sometimes he doesn't really know Zhuo Yu'an that well.

For example, does he really like listening to Lan

For example, the sudden reason he made up his mind to study abroad.

Later, Lu Kuo stopped dwelling on the issue. He thought, perhaps this is what youth is all about—full of randomness.

Zhu Yu'an had a tough time when he first arrived abroad. He left without consulting his family, which angered the old man who strictly forbade them from giving him any living expenses. He refused to back down and supported himself with scholarships and part-time work at a tech company.

At that time, he was renting in a Chinese family near the school. The hostess, Cui Jie, took good care of him. He shared the house with his classmate Wang Yan. They were both majoring in the same field, so they had some common topics to talk about. Otherwise, he was mostly silent.

Oh, and there's Wen Jian. He only found out after a week of classes that Wen Jian had also applied to this school and this major. She and her mom live in the next neighborhood over.r themselves. 。"No discussion, of course I'll stay, please save my mother..." Her voice choked up as she spoke, her eyes red with tears. 。Mother has suffered so much in her life. 。Since her father's...
