Chapter 197 The Other Shore
"You have no self-respect!"
Xie Hong yelled, "A man who always lets a woman spend money, how can he have a strong backbone? The day before yesterday at dinner, she gave me the cold shoulder, asking me what I planned to do after graduation. Would I just wait for a job, earn a dozen yuan a month, have a child, suffer for decades, and then wait for an apartment? She said, what's the point of such a life?"
"Listen, talking about the meaning of life, is this something a woman should say?" Xie Hong covered her face.
Bao Jianguo listened, nodded, and said, "I think she makes sense. Such a life really has no meaning."
Xie Hong glared at him and said, "Xiao Bao, don't talk nonsense. Find a partner first!"
When Bao Jianguo heard this, he immediately shut up.
Chen Feng grinned and wanted to tease his roommates, but then he thought, forget it, his emotional life was also a mess and not much better than theirs.
He became extremely angry whenever he thought of Liu Hongni.
Several times, he wanted to withdraw the funds he invested in her to let her know how powerful he was.
But then he changed his mind and realized that doing so would make him look very uncultured.
Moreover, Ladies' Street is now well-known. Even if he withdraws his investment, Liu Hongni can quickly find new investors, so it has no practical significance.
But he really couldn't think of any other way to deal with this woman.
Liu Hongni comes from a wealthy family, and Old Man Liu's influence cannot be underestimated. He is also an ally of Old Man Geng, which makes him even more helpless.
Finally, Chen Feng decided to just ignore her so as not to be bothered.
In the following days, he plunged into the department's projects and devoted himself to the research and development of computer operating systems.
He and his classmates spend the entire day in the department, truly treating it as their home.
Eating, sleeping, working on the computer, holding meetings, assigning tasks, and solving problems—this is their daily routine.
At night, the lounge next to the computer room is their dormitory, where they can fall asleep right away.
In the past, this lounge was clearly divided according to gender.
But after he actually moved in, he found that the programmers didn't care about these things at all, and they all seemed genderless.
Sometimes, when he was sleeping soundly, he vaguely felt that there was someone next to him. When he opened his eyes, Senior Brother Zhao had already pulled out the folding sofa and lay down, lying close to him.
Chen Feng thought to himself, this Senior Brother Zhao is really something, he didn’t even say hello.
But the next morning, when he got up, he saw that the person lying on the sofa was actually his senior sister Liu Dongdong.
His eyes widened, wondering why the lounge was so open now?
There are obviously enough sofa beds, why are everyone squeezing into one?
Actually, he had been busy with other things recently and hadn't noticed that the Computer Science Department had changed drastically. With new students arriving one after another, and with the addition of senior students transferring from the Mathematics Department, the number of students had more than doubled.
This lounge is no longer just for their project team, but has become a lounge for all students in the Computer Science Department.
The most shocking time for Chen Feng was when he was sleeping soundly and suddenly felt something moving next to him.
He suddenly opened his eyes and looked carefully, and it was Mo Zhaodi!
This girl's hair was a mess like a bird's coop, and she was wearing a T-shirt and shorts, with her arms and calves exposed. She just lay beside him carelessly and even fought with him for the blanket!
Chen Feng was so shocked by this scene that he almost jumped up. He gasped and asked Mo Zhaodi what was going on. But Mo Zhaodi said with a righteous look on her face, "There's no place to sleep! We are from the same class and on the same project team. If I don't squeeze with you, why should I squeeze with other junior students? Besides, this blanket is not yours, why can't I use it?"
Chen Feng was left in a state of confusion by her words. He shook his head helplessly, thinking that this girl was quite direct.
However, since there were so many people in the department and so few beds, there was nothing that could be done about it. So, he didn't bother to argue, turned over, and went back to sleep.
The next day, he bought a batch of new sofa beds with his own money and asked Professor Chi for a room to use as a lounge, which barely solved the problem.
However, because they were so focused on the project, they made rapid progress.
Chen Feng's programming skills improved by leaps and bounds, and he became more and more important in the project team, and finally became a core figure.
After all, he was the only one who had seen the Windows operating system, so whenever everyone was confused, he could always give the clearest direction.
Just when Chen Feng was fully busy with the project, Ning Yao boarded a plane to the other side of the ocean to study economics at the University of California, Los Angeles.
We have to thank Professor Chang, Ning Hezhong's senior, for this. He introduced Ning Yao to a big name in the economics world - Professor Leonid Hurwich as a mentor.
Although the professor was over 60 years old, he had just started teaching at the University of Los Angeles, and Ning Yao became one of his first students.
Ning Hezhong studied economics back then, so he naturally knew Mr. Leonid. His teacher at Peking University had debated with Leonid in an academic journal!
Ning Hezhong was very satisfied that his daughter could become his student.
According to Ning Hezhong, since his daughter has gone to the other side of the ocean, it would be best for her not to come back. After all, the trend in the country is really scary.
Ning Yao sat on the plane, his eyes fixed on Ninghai outside the window. At this moment, the blue sky of Ninghai seemed particularly precious.
Her heart felt like it was being pulled by something, and the feeling of reluctance surged like a tide, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
She really never thought that one day she would leave here and embark on a journey alone to a foreign country.
Everything here carries too much of her laughter and tears, but now, she has to leave it all and go to a distant and unfamiliar place to start a new life.
The trajectory of life seems to be rewritten in an instant.
She had imagined countless times the future, always closely connected with Chen Feng. She thought that after Chen Feng graduated from university, they would get married, and then they would settle down in this city together and live a simple and happy life.
But now everything has changed. She doesn't know what this choice will bring her, let alone what her future will be like.
The plane slowly taxied on the runway, and Ning Yao's thoughts seemed to be carried away and drifted back to the past.
The days I spent with Chen Feng flashed through my mind like a movie.
They planted chicken mushrooms together, ate together, took walks together, laughed together... every little thing was full of warmth and sweetness.
But now, these have become memories.
Her eyes couldn't help but turn red again, and she tried hard to control her emotions, but the reluctance and nostalgia surged like a tide, making her unable to extricate herself.
She didn't know if she and Chen Feng would ever see each other again in this lifetime. Even if they did, how would she feel? Excitement? Embarrassment? Or a sense of regret that things had changed?
She didn't dare to think about it, nor did she want to think about it.
She only knew that at this moment, she really missed Chen Feng.
