The three of them discussed Chen Yekai for awhile. Yu Hao recalled the words that Chen Yekai had said to him. Perhaps this form teacher of his, who shone with the resplendence of a male god, was someone who knew what he wanted out of life a long time ago ba.

"But the academic circle is really messy too." Fu Liqun peeled his shrimp as he answered, "All those papers and plagiarism, teacher-student relationships, and they would even fight and scheme against one another."

"He's not that kind of person." Yu Hao said.

"Do you idolize him a lot?" Zhou Sheng scrutinized Yu Hao. Yu Hao quickly said, "No, I idolize you the most."

"Why does that sound so sarcastic?"

"No no, I truly meant it."

Yu Hao and the rest ate so much that they had to hold onto the wall for support as they walked out. He thought about where he should go next to find a part-time job - he needed to earn enough for his food and board expenses for the winter vacation, as well as the winter clothing he would need soon. Not long after the end of their final examinations, winter vacation would begin and everyone would be going home. Yu Hao didn't have a home he could return to, so he could only stay in the dormitory over the New Year.

It's good if everyone leaves anyway. It'll finally be peaceful, then it would be perfect for me to read some books to prepare for my next semester. Most shops lack staff at the end of the year, so it'll be easy for students to find a part-time job too. It's too cold to be a delivery man, frying fries at KFC seems like a better option.

They had just passed by the fourth floor of a shopping mall when the three of them suddenly saw Chen Yekai eating Western food with a couple.

"Who's that?" Zhou Sheng's interest was piqued. On the opposite side of Chen Yekai sat a middle-aged man around fifty years old, and a woman who looked like she was around forty. The woman looked very classy and wore pearl-shaped earrings.

"Don't look at them anymore." Yu Hao wanted to get Zhou Sheng to leave quickly. He thought that Chen Yekai didn't join them tonight because he needed to entertain some friends. He had his own circle, yet he also cared for them in his capacity as their form teacher, so it wouldn't be good if they constantly bothered him.

Zhou Sheng had even wanted to go over to greet Chen Yekai, but he was hauled away by Fu Liqun and Yu Hao. Yu Hao planned to return to his dormitory after their dinner, but the other two dragged him to the city center to watch the countdown. All three of them held an inflatable stick that they used to knock one another with.

"Aren't you guys going to accompany your girlfriends?" Yu Hao asked.

Fu Liqun was currently hitting them both with his inflatable stick, but he suddenly smiled, "Introduce one to your bro here?"

Zhou Sheng shot him a look, signaling Yu Hao to let it drop. Yu Hao thought, wah that's such big news, they broke up? Then he looked at Zhou Sheng again, and thought that Zhou Sheng probably didn't invite anyone out tonight because he wanted to accompany Fu Liqun and distract him. Yu Hao tactfully stopped asking further.

The large clock tower in the city center sounded. Yu Hao watched over his grandmother on New Year's Eve last year as the clock struck midnight. In retrospect, he felt like he experienced many things over the past year.

Balloons rose up into the sky one after the other - it was an incredibly spectacular scene, yet Yu Hao's thoughts suddenly turned to General. When they had bid farewell to each other, he was almost certain that General was human. He wondered if, at this moment, he was celebrating the New Year just like them.
