Chapter 28

"Have you decided which school to apply to?"

Leaving home, Li Mu asked Zhao Kang on the way to school.

Zhao Kang frowned: "Oh, I forgot, let me check."

He took out the application form, and after looking at it, he said: "Yanjing Information Technology Vocational College, Computer Science major."

Li Mu didn't know what this school was about; he had never heard of it. However, a vocational college was probably a junior college, and choosing the Computer Science major was a good choice. With him around, it would definitely be a great help.

Zhao Kang added casually: "I checked the address of this school and compared it with a map of Yanjing. The school is less than two kilometers from Renmin University, so it's closer to you."

If it weren't for the fact that the concept of 'bromance' didn't exist in this era, Li Mu would have almost thought Zhao Kang had a bromance tendency.

The reason for choosing this university was actually to be closer to him...

At this moment, Zhao Kang said again: "I've thought about it. I don't have any special skills, and my studies are just average. Unlike you, who knows so much. So, as long as you still consider me a friend, you can just tell me what to do. I trust my judgment of people, and following you will definitely be the right choice."

Seeing that Zhao Kang wasn't joking, Li Mu was surprised by the courage of this 18-year-old boy to make such a decision. However, it was also a sign of trust in him.

With a heartfelt smile, Li Mu said: "Yanjing is a big city with many opportunities. Let's work hard together."

This year, going to Yanjing with Zhao Kang as a friend and Su Yinxue as a goddess, life shouldn't be too boring, right?

...

Li Mu was now a wealthy person, with at least 10,000 yuan in cash to spend. He treated Zhao Kang to a good meal, a Western buffet at the Haizhou Hotel, 100 yuan per person.

Spending 200 yuan on lunch for two people was a top-tier luxury in Haizhou at that time.

Li Mu originally wanted to give Zhao Kang some cash before selling "Stone Age Overlord" to make his life easier, but considering Zhao Kang's personality, he feared it would hurt his self-esteem, so he gave up.

After the meal, the two went to school together.

It was time to submit their applications. After completing this final task, everyone would officially end their high school days and go home to wait for their scores and admission notices.

At this time last life, Li Mu was particularly distressed. To avoid burdening his family and to graduate and earn money sooner, he had ruthlessly cut off his future.

In this life, he, Li Mu, was awesome. Filling in Renmin University on his application would shock his teachers, who might think he had gone crazy and was using the application to rebel against society.

As soon as they entered the school, someone called out to Li Mu from behind.

It was Su Yinxue.

Seeing Su Yinxue walking up from behind, Zhao Kang gave Li Mu a subtle look and whispered: "I'll go first."

Li Mu said: "Okay, our class has a gathering tonight. I'll call you tomorrow."

"Our class does too."

It seemed that all the classes had planned gatherings for today?

Li Mu smiled to himself. As Zhao Kang walked away, Su Yinxue came up to him.

Li Mu's eyes roamed over Su Yinxue without restraint. She wasn't dressed up today, but she still exuded a goddess-like aura, as one would say in the future.

Su Yinxue had excellent mental fortitude. Being stared at by various boys and men every day had honed her ability to remain unaffected. However, Li Mu's gaze still surprised her.

Li Mu's transformation had already amazed her on the day they estimated their scores. Before the college entrance exam, he would always shyly avoid her gaze, but after the exam, he seemed like a completely different person, suddenly very confident, making her even more puzzled about how the exam had affected him.

"Yinxue, is there something you need?" Li Mu unconsciously adopted a slightly perverted uncle's demeanor, but it wasn't his fault. Su Yinxue was just too beautiful, a dream he had been chasing for over a decade in his previous life, and now he was only getting more deeply entangled. At 27 or 28, she would be even more stunning, and her photos would be everywhere in the financial news, flawless.

Su Yinxue wasn't quite used to Li Mu's change. She looked at him: "Are you really going to apply to Renmin University?"

Li Mu raised an eyebrow, slightly frivolous: "Do you think I was just saying it?"

"No." Su Yinxue hesitated for a moment, her eyes showing a hint of concern as she softly said: "But, are you sure? I'm afraid you'll waste your time..."

"Are you afraid I won't get in?" Li Mu suddenly smiled. It was quite amusing. In his previous life, their relationship had basically ended here. Su Yinxue went to Yanjing, and he went to Jinling. Four years later, he took a hard-seat train for a day and a night to Yanjing, while she flew to America.

Even thinking about it now, he found it both funny and helpless, with a touch of self-mockery. But she was his dream back then.

Reborn, shouldn't he do what he thought he couldn't do in his previous life?

In his previous life, he didn't reach the first-tier university line, but in this life, he had filled in Renmin University on his application. His parents had suffered and aged for him, but he had earned several years' worth of their salary with one song. He still had "Stone Age Overlord," which was already popular among players, and the future internet and mobile internet eras...

So, wasn't it reasonable for him to have designs on Su Yinxue now?

Su Yinxue was indeed afraid Li Mu wouldn't get in, but she also feared he would misunderstand her intentions. She explained: "I just don't want you to regret it. What if you don't get in?"

"You're right," Li Mu nodded and smiled. "I'm also afraid of that."

Su Yinxue thought Li Mu would say more, but he stopped there. Anxiously, she blurted out: "Then what? How did you fill out your application?"

Li Mu said: "Of course, I filled in what I'm 100% sure about."

Hearing this, Su Yinxue felt relieved but then a bit disappointed: "Oh, which university did you apply to?"

At that moment, Su Yinxue had a faint hope that Li Mu would apply to a university in Yanjing.

Li Mu took the folded application form from his pocket and handed it to her, smiling: "You can look yourself."

Su Yinxue took the form suspiciously, opened it, and was stunned.

First choice: Renmin University, and only the first choice!

"This..." Even with an estimated score of 650, Su Yinxue didn't dare to be 100% sure, so she had filled in Yanjing University of Technology as her second choice.

"Are you really sure?"

"Of course."

"What if you don't get in?"

"Then I'll retake the exam next year and apply to Renmin University again."

"Really?"

"Of course!"

Su Yinxue seemed to become serious, her clear eyes staring at Li Mu: "Then it's a deal!"

Li Mu felt as if his soul was being drawn by those eyes but then frowned and asked: "What do you mean, Su Yinxue? Are you so sure I won't get in?"

"No, no." Su Yinxue chuckled, handed the form back to Li Mu, and walked ahead, saying: "Before you submit it, fill in Yanjing University of Technology as your second choice. The code is 10007."

"No way!" Li Mu pouted and put the form back in his pocket.

Su Yinxue turned around, looking at Li Mu, her cheeks flushed and her eyes bright: "I filled it in because I'm not 100% sure I can get into Renmin University."

Li Mu smiled, a bright but slightly mischievous smile: "You can do it."
