They both turned their heads at the same time, and the first person they saw was Chen Zhirui, and then Zhou Xiaonan who was standing next to him.
Chen Zhirui and Zhou Xiaonan stood together, one big and one small, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, the two formed a sharp contrast. Although Chen Zhirui has lost a lot of weight, he still looks very big when standing next to Zhou Xiaonan.
Zhou Xiaonan stepped forward and asked, "Sister Xi, did you call my name just now?"
Gu Chenxi said: "I was just praising you."
"Huh?" Zhou Xiaonan asked in surprise, "What did you praise me for?"
This time, before Gu Chenxi could speak, Kong Liu said, "She said that you are good at both gaming and studying, and you have set high ideals and goals since freshman year."
"Really? But..." Zhou Xiaonan looked at the two of them suspiciously, thought for a moment and said, "Why do I feel like I heard you saying that I'm bad at playing games?"
"Uh... No, you heard it wrong!" Gu Chenxi said immediately, "We are just praising you, praising your self-discipline, preparing to study for a bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree and then return to your hometown to become a university teacher."
When Zhou Xiaonan heard this, he immediately covered his face and said with a smile: "I will be shy if you praise me like this!"
After listening to Gu Chenxi's words, Chen Zhirui frowned slightly. He asked Zhou Xiaonan seriously: "Are you still planning to pursue a doctorate degree?"
"Yeah." Zhou Xiaonan nodded and said without hesitation, "I've already taken the postgraduate entrance examination. If I can switch to a doctorate later, I must study for a master's and doctoral degree simultaneously. Otherwise, I might as well graduate early and find a job."
"It seems... that's right..."
Chen Zhirui nodded slightly, thinking about something thoughtfully.
The four of them left the library together. After sending Gu Chenxi back to the girls' dormitory, Kong Liu and Chen Zhirui also walked towards the boys' dormitory.
On the way back to the dormitory, Chen Zhirui suddenly asked Kong Liu: "Brother Kong, how many years does it take to study for a master's or doctoral degree?"
Gong Yoo thought for a moment and said, "About five years, two years for a master's degree and three years for a doctorate."
Gong Yoo’s grandfather had talked about this matter with Gong Yoo before.
After his father Kong Cheng completed his master's degree, he was busy helping his family expand overseas business and did not continue his doctoral studies.
It was for this reason that Kong Cheng met Liu Mengya, who was studying for a doctorate in Europe when he was expanding his overseas markets. It was also because of this encounter that the gears of their fate began to turn.
Chen Zhirui asked again: "Is the doctoral entrance exam more difficult than the postgraduate entrance exam?"
Gong Liu nodded and said, "Of course. It's so difficult to pass the master's exam, so it must be even harder to pass the doctoral exam."
"Oh……"
Chen Zhirui agreed and said nothing more, but the sadness in his eyes was particularly strong.
Gong Liu looked at Chen Zhirui's appearance and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you asking this question suddenly? Is it... because of Zhou Xiaonan?"
"Forget it...let it go."
In fact, Chen Zhirui didn’t quite understand the relationship between him and Zhou Xiaonan.
Zhou Xiaonan is an extrovert, enthusiastic, generous and talkative person. When he meets new friends, he can quickly start a lively conversation with them.
In contrast, Chen Zhirui is a dull guy. He doesn't dare to look girls in the eye when walking on the street and he is not good at speaking.
The two people's personalities are very complementary, but when they get along with each other normally, they are like buddies, calling each other brothers, and there is no ambiguous atmosphere between lovers at all.
In fact, there are two reasons for this.
One reason is that both of them are love idiots and have no experience in relationships.
Chen Zhirui would not express his love for Zhou Xiaonan, just like when he was losing weight, he would just keep his head down and work hard.
Zhou Xiaonan had been focusing entirely on studying since childhood, so she had no idea that Chen Zhirui liked her and even treated him as a "good buddy".
In addition, there is a more important reason, which is that the two people seem to have somewhat different ideas about the future.
Chen Zhirui's family is well-off. Although they are not as omnipotent as the Kong family in Zhonghai, they are still a well-off family. In Guangzhou, he can live a good life with the savings left by his family even if he does nothing all his life.
But Zhou Xiaonan is different. Her family is not that wealthy, and her parents cannot unconditionally support their daughter in studying for a master's or doctoral degree. For an ordinary family, the pressure of raising a college student is really great. They hope that Zhou Xiaonan can come out and make money earlier.
Seeing Chen Zhirui's hesitation, Kong Liu asked, "Did you feel stressed when you heard that Zhou Xiaonan wanted to study for a bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree? Are you worried that you can't keep up with him?"
"Yes!" Kong Liu's words hit Chen Zhirui's heart directly and touched his heart.
Chen Zhirui scratched his hair and said irritably, "I'm worried that I can't catch up with Xiaonan, and I'm very conflicted inside. After all, I'm not even her boyfriend, so I don't know what I'm conflicted about. This conflicting emotion makes me feel very painful and flustered."
"Why do you have to think so much?" Gong Liu smiled and patted Chen Zhirui on the shoulder. He said, "In fact, love is similar to losing weight. Losing weight is not something that can be achieved in one or two days. It is a long-term and continuous thing. The same is true for love. If you are not sure about your feelings for her, don't think about it yet. Time will give you the answer."
"call……"
After listening to Kong Liu's words, Chen Zhirui suddenly became enlightened, as if he had figured out something in an instant. He held Kong Liu's hand and said, "Brother Kong, it's you who have experienced it who can see through things. I can really learn a lot from chatting with you!"
Gong Liu looked at his happy face and said with a smile: "Silly boy."
The two of them walked into the boys' dormitory together, and when they reached the entrance of the corridor on the second floor, they could hear Wang Qi's voice from a long distance away.
"Fuck, you don't know that those who signed up for the school team are all tall and strong, as strong as bulls. My physique is just average among them."
"What are you talking about so happily?" Gong Liu pushed the door open and walked in, saying, "I can hear you talking in the corridor on the second floor."
Du Hongyuan was brushing up on the test questions for Subject 1 while saying, "Lao Wang was talking to me about his interview with the school team tonight."
Chen Zhirui blinked twice, looked at Wang Qi and asked, "Brother Wang, have you really signed up for the school team's recruitment?"
Wang Qi patted his chest and said, "Of course I will. I always keep my word. If I say I will sign up, I will sign up. I play for real!"
Gong Yoo only cares about one question: "So, were you chosen?"
Wang Qi spread his hands and said, "I don't know if I was selected or not, because the results will be announced on Monday."
Gong Liu thought for a moment and said, "Considering your level, you should be considered pretty good among amateurs."
Wang Qi nodded, then shook his head. He said, "My performance tonight was not bad, but everyone who signed up tonight is tall and strong. I don't have much of an advantage in terms of size when standing next to them, so it's a mystery whether I can be selected."
Du Hongyuan gave a thumbs up and said, "Lao Wang, believe in yourself, you are the best!"
