Chapter 59

Liu Meng stared wide-eyed at the microphone being passed to him and at Gu Pan, whose eyes sparkled mischievously. He had never seen such an expression on her face before.

Everyone looked at Liu Meng with sympathy, and a bit of envy. Ah, to be tormented by a goddess, what a kind of happiness that is.

"Are you going to take it or not?!" Gu Pan's eyes shone with excitement, ready to play a prank. She had already thought of how to punish this annoying guy.

A man may lose face, but not his dignity. How could he not take it? Now, his skin was thick enough. Liu Meng liked to play with everyone, and when he played, he let loose. If it was just the same old moves from before, there was nothing to worry about.

He walked up calmly, chose a song, and picked Chen Yisheng's "Ten Years."

A simple, melancholic melody played. Listening to this familiar rhythm, it touched Liu Meng's heart. The last time he sang this song was in 2014, recalling 2004. Now, he had returned to 2004, reminiscing about 2014.

The world is truly mysterious and capricious!

At this moment, his emotions surged, and he began to sing along with the lyrics.

"If those two words didn't tremble, I wouldn't have realized how sad I was. How could I say it, it's just a breakup. If there were no demands for tomorrow, holding hands would be like a trip. Among thousands of doors, someone has to leave first. Since the embrace can't linger, why not enjoy it while shedding tears."

"Ten years ago, I didn't know you, you didn't belong to me. We were still the same, accompanying a stranger, walking through the streets that gradually became familiar..."

"Ten years later, we are friends, still able to greet each other. But that kind of tenderness, there's no reason to embrace. In the end, we inevitably become friends, only then do I realize my tears are not just for you, but for others too..."

After the song, Liu Meng opened his eyes and looked at Gu Pan, who was staring at him. Their eyes met.

Liu Meng's heart was like a storm, filled with deep emotions.

In 2014, Zhao Linlin was by his side. Ten years ago, they didn't know each other, separated by thousands of miles. Those who left marks in his life, the guys in the dorm, Jiang Xiaoyu, and Gu Pan, were now friends, or not even friends. Liu Meng still shed tears for Zhao Linlin, but who were they shedding tears for?

Returning to 2004, the guys in the dorm were now right beside him, staring with wide eyes, clapping hard. Gu Pan also watched him, her expression sly. Thinking about ten years later, where would these people who shared his wild youth be?

At this moment, ten years ago, ten years later, Liu Meng understood a lot. His mindset suddenly rose to a new level, his mind becoming clear, a profound transformation from the depths of his soul.

No longer bound by the trivialities of the world, he sought only freedom and authenticity.

He, Liu Meng, was not a saint. He had ambitions. Born into poverty, he always yearned to stand out, to be admired by all, to stand tall, unafraid of the cold winds, proud and alone.

He was a man, not a man of unyielding virtue. Watching porn still made him excited, and if a beautiful woman offered herself, he would pounce like a beast. Love? Affection? No man would not want more.

It was just a matter of whether he had the ability!

In life, what one seeks is nothing more than a clear conscience. Only with a clear conscience can one do anything!

With courage and passion, he would face the long road ahead, welcoming the trials of life, the wind unable to wash away his wildness.

Gu Pan's eyes sparkled, a mix of shock and curiosity. She had thought his singing would be terrible, but he sang "Ten Years" quite well, the emotions conveyed beautifully, making her think of the wild youth of ten years later.

It was a mix of nostalgia, regret, and loss, making her heart ache.

95 points! A very high score, but the technique was still lacking.

Standing calmly in front of Gu Pan, he looked at her.

Gu Pan looked at the man in front of her, feeling as if he were a towering mountain, solid as a rock, unshakable. This was a man who would no longer hesitate!

"What do you want me to do?" Liu Meng's face remained calm and smiling.

Looking at him like this made her nervous. The prank she had planned was hard to say, and she stammered, "I... I..."

Gu Pan was annoyed with herself for being so flustered. A surge of pride arose, and she said angrily, "Cross-dress as a woman and do the sexiest, most alluring move. It must satisfy everyone to pass."

"Do you have to be so harsh?" This was far beyond Liu Meng's expectations. Cross-dressing and making alluring moves made him extremely awkward.

"Can't handle it? Humph," Gu Pan was very pleased, finally getting back at him for his earlier weakness, feeling very happy.

When you play, you must be ready to pay. How could he not handle it? He threw himself into the role, transforming into "Furong Sister," and made a few S-shaped poses, making everyone laugh.

Liu Meng, with a bitter face, said, "Brothers, can I pass now?"

"No, no!"

"How can you just get away with it?"

"Another set, please."

...

Everyone laughed, not letting him pass. Liu Meng couldn't leave, feeling quite awkward. Gu Pan was even more pleased, her eyes watering with laughter, leaning back and forth, very ungracefully. Zheng Wen was also very happy, whispering in her ear, "I knew you would deliberately mess with him, but I didn't expect it to be so satisfying, hahaha..."

This couldn't go on. Frowning, Liu Meng thought of a way, "Whoever doesn't let me pass next, it will be their turn!"

Threats! Liu Meng had scored 95 points, and picking anyone would be tough. The guys, who were having a good time, quieted down. Even Zheng Wen didn't think she could win and stopped.

Seeing everyone quiet down, Gu Pan was unhappy. Letting Liu Meng pass so easily was not satisfying.

"Ha ha ha..." Liu Meng laughed at Gu Pan.

...

The group laughed and played until after midnight. The girls had to go back, and some of the guys still felt unsatisfied, so the leader took them to the internet cafe for an all-night session.

Guo Yu followed Zheng Wen and Gu Pan, being attentive, and said in a loud voice, "A few guys will take Bai Jingjing and Meng Meng back to the dorm. Jiang Weixin and Li Yue, I'll leave to you. I'll take Zheng Wen and Gu Pan home."

"No need, we'll wait at the West Gate. My family will pick us up," Gu Pan politely declined.

"No problem, I'll take you to the West Gate," Guo Yu insisted, chuckling.

"Go do your own thing. As the life committee member, Liu Meng, you take us to the West Gate," Zheng Wen called out.

Seeing no chance, Guo Yu quickly offered to take Bai Jingjing and Meng Meng. Yuan Chaohui glared, "No need to trouble the class leader, I'll take them back."

Damn, getting nothing, Guo Yu cursed in his heart, angrily returning to the dorm, thinking, "A bunch of bastards, wait until the results come out, and you'll see how awesome I am."

Hmph, Liu Meng is just a piece of shit, good at math, that's all. I did well in math this time, maybe even better than him.

Deng Jinyao is a bastard, can't even speak Mandarin properly, acting all high and mighty in the northeast.

Yuan Chaohui is a fool, from the capital, acting all superior? I'll go to the capital after graduation, and I'll be a capital person too, what's so great about it.

As Guo Yu walked, he cursed those he disliked and those who opposed him. Jiang Weixin and Li Yue were walking ahead, and he could see Jiang Weixin's hands sliding from Li Yue's waist to her buttocks, and Li Yue playfully hitting his hand, only to repeat it again.

Seeing this, he felt even more frustrated and followed them. When he saw them enter a hotel, he realized they weren't heading back to school and cursed.

Walking back to school, Guo Yu made a firm decision to find a girlfriend as soon as possible, and she had to be prettier than Li Yue, prettier than Zheng Wen, and prettier than Gu Pan... well, about the same as Gu Pan. As a top student, he couldn't fall behind in grades or in relationships in college.

Liu Meng took the two girls to the West Gate. Zheng Wen teased, "Liu Meng, you're quite sexy, I didn't expect that. If you were a woman, you might be quite a seductress."

Liu Meng rolled his eyes and replied, "Too bad, if you were a man, then..."

"What? If I were a man, would I be handsome and brave, with many girls falling for me?" Zheng Wen said, pleased with herself.

Giggling, Gu Pan also laughed, enjoying the banter. She was in a good mood tonight.

"If you were a man, you'd be picking up soap every day!" Liu Meng laughed.

Zheng Wen was confused and asked, "Why pick up so much soap?"

Liu Meng didn't know how to explain this profound issue in front of two girls, and joked, "To wash clothes, you need soap, right?"

Nonsense, Zheng Wen was still puzzled. Boys usually have good clothes and are lazy to change, do they need so much soap to wash clothes?

"Hmph, shameless!" Gu Pan suddenly remembered a TV show she had seen recently and understood Liu Meng's meaning, spitting it out.

Liu Meng was quite embarrassed!

Fortunately, Gu Pan's car arrived, and the two girls walked over. The front window rolled down, and Gu Pan exclaimed, "Mom, it's so late, why are you here? Didn't you ask Uncle Guang to pick us up?"

Zheng Wen called out, "Aunt!"

Liu Meng also walked up and greeted, "Aunt, it's been a long time, you still look so beautiful."

Zheng Yuxiu nodded at Liu Meng, her face showing a faint smile, but it was too formal to show any real emotion.

The two girls got in the car, and Zheng Wen whispered to Gu Pan, asking why she had called Liu Meng shameless. Gu Pan explained based on her guess, and the little girl's face turned red, scolding, "Boys are all shameless."

First, they dropped off Zheng Wen. Then, Zheng Yuxiu and Gu Pan headed home. Gu Pan leaned back, playing with her phone, and said casually, "Just the two of us now, say what you want. It's not good to hold it in. You haven't said a word the whole way. Who upset you?"

Zheng Yuxiu finally put away her faint smile and asked angrily, "Why are you hanging out with that poor boy again, and so late? If it weren't for Uncle Guang having an emergency, I wouldn't have known. You're getting more capable."
