Chapter 1137: Chapter 493: It’s Been a While Since We Ate Together

After the golden week of October, life returned to how it used to be.

On the evening of October 8th, the freshman welcoming party took place as planned, with Zhou Yuwen as a special guest.

Speaking of special guests from the sophomore year, Zhou Yuwen might be the only one in the history of the school.

Zhou Yuwen’s participation was different from the average student; he arrived at the school auditorium at six-thirty. By this time, it was already packed with students outside, mostly freshmen. Most felt that such parties were uninteresting and even wondered why some queued up to watch it.

Yet, the reality was that there were people at the auditorium entrance, adamant about going in even without tickets.

They even told the student council members guarding the door, “I know so-and-so among you, call him and tell him I’m here, he’ll definitely let me in.”

Faced with such students, student council members also expressed difficulty.

They said, “We have rules here, one ticket per person. Without a ticket, even the principal can’t enter.”

Zhou Yuwen found this amusing as he walked over.

The student checking tickets was about to ask Zhou Yuwen for his ticket when he recognized him instantly and greeted him with a smile: “You’re here early.”

“Oh, I thought it started at six-thirty.” Zhou Yuwen knew this ticket checker, seemed to be from his class. During the military training period, there seemed to be a conflict with Chang Hao.

It had been a while since he last saw this classmate, and compared to freshman year, he indeed seemed more mature and steady.

Of course, his attitude towards Zhou Yuwen was exceptionally respectful.

He recalled that when he first started college, this classmate had a conflict with Chang Hao and had a bad attitude towards him as well.

Now, not only was he respectful, but he also seemed a bit eager to please.

This student was now considered a figure in the student council, and upon seeing Zhou Yuwen, he quickly passed the ticket-checking duty to the freshmen and led him inside himself.

Along the way, he chatted and laughed with Zhou Yuwen, and when people greeted him, he deliberately showed his close relationship with Zhou Yuwen, like a fox borrowing a tiger’s might, as if to say, “See, I know Zhou Yuwen!”

Zhou Yuwen, being over thirty, clearly understood these behaviors, but he said nothing, merely smiled.

The classmate had just commented that Zhou Yuwen was early; in fact, the auditorium was already packed, and the party officially started at 6:50. Twenty minutes were given for the audience to prepare.

The freshman welcoming party was primarily for the freshmen, but there were still sophomores who loved excitement and came to watch. Walking in, Zhou Yuwen ran into several acquaintances who greeted him.

The most familiar faces belonged to the only girls’ dormitory from the class.

The Ma Tian and Li Jing duo, they eagerly greeted Zhou Yuwen.

“Hey! Is that Zhou Yuwen?”

“Zhou Yuwen? Really Zhou Yuwen? Are you here to watch the party too?”

Ma Tian and Li Jing were very excited. After all, they were sophomores now, and compared to freshman year, they had changed a lot, at least in terms of wearing makeup. With the dim lighting at the auditorium, the two girls wore glowing Demon Horns that gave them a cute look.

They didn’t expect to see Zhou Yuwen here and were obviously very happy, enthusiastically inviting Zhou Yuwen to sit with them.

At this point, the student leading Zhou Yuwen smiled and said, “Haha, ladies, Zhou Yuwen’s seat is different. He’s sitting at the VIP section with the principal!”

Hearing this, Ma Tian and Li Jing widened their mouths in surprise and said, “VIP section? That’s amazing! Isn’t that where all the school leaders sit?”

“Zhou Yuwen, are you considered a school leader now? Don’t tell me you’ve bought the school!?”

These two girls were still somewhat naive.

Zhou Yuwen found their remarks amusing, saying that wasn’t the case.

“It’s just that the school leaders have shown me favor. By the way, why are just you two here? Didn’t Liu Yue come with you?”

From memory, where the two of them were, Liu Yue seemed to always be there too.

It felt odd for Zhou Yuwen not to see Liu Yue suddenly.

The girls seemed surprised at Zhou Yuwen’s continuing thought about Liu Yue.

“You mean her? Ah, she originally wanted to come with her boyfriend.”

“In the afternoon, she saw her boyfriend cuddling with a younger female student!”

The two spoke alternately, with a hint of schadenfreude in their words.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuwen also chuckled and said, “Has she been betrayed again?”

Hearing this, both girls burst into laughter.

“What do you mean again? Zhou Yuwen, why are you so focused on Liu Yue!”

“Exactly!”

Zhou Yuwen didn’t quite know how to reply, as the previous statement was blurted out unconsciously.

Oh well, this is what youth is like.

Zhou Yuwen didn’t dwell much on the topic, adding that Liu Yue should be used to it by now.

To which Ma Tian and Li Jing responded, isn’t it just a spat?

“Her boyfriend is trying to appease her, right?”

“Can she really be pacified?”

“That I don’t know.”

The three of them chatted for a while, and the student council member informed Zhou Yuwen that the party was about to start, asking if they should head over first?

Zhou Yuwen agreed.

So, he bid farewell to Ma Tian and Li Jing, and followed the classmate.

Zhou Yuwen’s seat was in the front row; walking over, he ran into many acquaintances, like Shen Yu, who was preparing on stage, wearing a long pink dress with exquisite makeup.
