Chapter 5

Chen Mo arrived at school and took the final graduation exam. After four years of undergraduate studies, he had completed all his exams. The last subject was graded by the school, so as long as he passed all the previous exams, this one would not be a problem. He just needed to intern for half a year, then return to school to defend his graduation thesis, and he would basically be waiting to receive his diploma.

Looking at the university campus where he had lived for four years, Chen Mo suddenly felt a bit melancholic. When did he become such a literary youth?

"Smack!" Someone patted him on the shoulder from behind, disrupting his sentimental mood.

"Fourth, what are you doing here? Is there a beautiful girl?" It was Li Rui, the leader of the dormitory. He darted in front of Chen Mo, looked around for a while, and said disappointedly, "I don't see any beautiful girls. Why are you being so literary?"

"Hehe! I'm a bit reluctant to leave the place where I've lived for four years," Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Come on, come on, come on! Don't be so literary. Everyone is waiting for you. Hurry up and pack your things; we're going to have a good lunch," Li Rui said.

"By the way, do you know that Long Legs is coming for lunch today?" Li Rui asked, thinking of the person who was treating them. He knew about the issue between Chen Mo and Gong Hui, so he was a bit hesitant.

"Yes, Third told me. And, Leader! You don't need to worry about me. I've already said that my relationship with Gong Hui ended before it even began," Chen Mo said, shrugging his shoulders with a hint of helplessness. Everyone in the dormitory was worried about him, which was really frustrating. Actually, he didn't have any issues at all.

"OK! It's good that you can let it go. I was afraid you wouldn't be able to," Li Rui said with a smile, though he was still a bit worried inside. But seeing Chen Mo say this, he had no choice. For Chen Mo, everyone in the dormitory considered him to be someone who didn't talk much but was very diligent. He would get up at 4:30 every day to exercise, had part-time jobs throughout the four years, and was an excellent student, winning scholarships for four years and excelling in all his subjects. How could such a person not be diligent?

After meeting up with Zhao Guodong and Ma Yuan, the four of them walked to the预定的餐馆外边，正要进入餐馆的时候，一辆宝马730停在了路边。

Gong Hui and Wang Lisheng got out of the car. Wang Lisheng was a rich second-generation, a year ahead of Chen Mo, and not in the same major. However, he had a poor reputation at school, known for changing girlfriends as frequently as changing clothes. Everyone knew Wang Lisheng, but they didn't expect Gong Hui to come with him, and it seemed they were together.

Chen Mo hadn't expected Gong Hui and Wang Lisheng to be together either. Before Wang Lisheng, who Gong Hui had been with was unknown. But he was relieved that he didn't have to worry about it, as he had never been with Gong Hui. He was glad he had stopped himself in time, or he might have ended up with a green hat.

After getting out of the car, Wang Lisheng casually put his arm around Gong Hui's shoulder, and the two walked up to Li Rui and the others.

"Who among you is Chen Mo?" Wang Lisheng asked.

"I am!" Chen Mo replied.

"You're Chen Mo?" Wang Lisheng took off his sunglasses, looked at Chen Mo, and said with a somewhat sinister smile, "I thought you'd be someone special, but you're just like everyone else."

"Hehe! I guess I disappointed you," Chen Mo said, his heart unmoved. It seemed Wang Lisheng had heard about him from someone, but his attitude made it seem like Chen Mo owed him money, which was puzzling.

"Gong Hui, it looks like your taste wasn't so great before!" Wang Lisheng turned to Gong Hui and said.

"I have nothing with him, honey, you have to believe me," Gong Hui quickly hugged Wang Lisheng's arm and said in a coquettish tone.

"Alright, alright! It doesn't matter. We'll see how you perform tonight!" Wang Lisheng said with a lecherous grin, then turned to Chen Mo and said, "I heard from Gong Hui that you spent a lot of effort trying to win her over before?"

Chen Mo was taken aback and looked at Gong Hui with confusion, but she gave him a meaningful glance. He nodded slightly, thinking that he and Gong Hui still had some feelings, so he didn't contradict Wang Lisheng.

"Haha!" Seeing Chen Mo's silence, Wang Lisheng became even more arrogant and said with disdain, "Chasing girls is all about strength. What do you, a poor loser, have to offer? Besides playing some tricks and putting on a show, you have nothing to talk about. Look at this!"

Wang Lisheng gestured to the BMW behind him and said, "The most practical way to chase girls is to drive a nice car and give them designer bags. Then you can chase whoever you want!"

He jingled the car keys in his hand and said, "Let's go, Gong Hui, we're going in."

He walked into the restaurant with Gong Hui, looking quite arrogant.

Li Rui was about to confront Wang Lisheng, but Chen Mo held him back. Zhao Guodong and Ma Yuan were also stopped by Chen Mo's signal.

"Why did you stop me? Seeing him act like that makes me angry," Li Rui said, somewhat angrily.

"Right, why did you stop us? We are four against one; we can definitely make him shut up quietly," Zhao Guodong said, and Ma Yuan nodded in agreement.

"Just now, Gong Hui gave me a meaningful look, as if she was asking me not to say anything. We are all classmates, and we still have some feelings, so let him talk. It won't hurt us," Chen Mo said.

"She gave you a meaningful look?" Li Rui asked curiously, and the other two also looked at Chen Mo with interest.

"Ugh! Don't be so nosy, we're all grown men!" Chen Mo said, feeling a bit helpless. But the three of them surrounded him, ruffled his hair, and shouted, "Tell us!"

"Yes, maybe she has something she's hiding from Wang Lisheng and didn't tell him, so she used me as a scapegoat," Chen Mo speculated.

"I think that's right. Fourth, do you know something?" Li Rui asked.

Chen Mo suddenly darted out of the three's circle and ran into the restaurant, shouting as he ran, "I don't know."

The three of them looked at each other, certain that he was hiding something, but they didn't press him further. Seeing that Fourth didn't look upset, they didn't say anything more and followed him into the restaurant.

Actually, while watching Wang Lisheng's performance, Chen Mo felt a bit taken aback. He realized that Wang Lisheng didn't really know who Gong Hui was. Perhaps she was very good at hiding herself. During the four years, except for himself, he hadn't heard any rumors or gossip about Gong Hui. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he might have been the one wearing a green hat now. But thinking about it, even if he did, it wouldn't last long, just like Wang Lisheng, who didn't know how many others had been with Gong Hui.

Feeling a sense of clarity, he no longer cared about Wang Lisheng's mocking words. For someone who was so green, it was better to be forgiving and magnanimous. Besides, what was the point of arguing with someone like Wang Lisheng? If he crossed the line and made Chen Mo angry, he would let him taste the power of a sandbag punch!
