401 I Was Your Fiance
Su Mo's sudden speech immediately caused the originally lively atmosphere to fall into a brief state of silence, and Wang Shiqing's indignation gradually appeared on her face - after all, this is a real questioning the authenticity of his diploma!
"My male vote... My male vote didn't say he was from California Polytechnic, right?" Wang Shiqing's tone was a little emotional, but Su Mo's reaction was still quite calm:
"University of California, alone, generally refers to a university administrative system composed of ten public universities, such as the famous Bercourley University in California, which used to be the University of California, Bercourley. But now, the University of California generally refers to the California Institute of Technology in China. Or... the University of California, you are talking about Bercourley?"
"I……"
Su Mo in front of him was obviously very familiar with the university system in California. Wang Shiqing felt a little guilty when she heard this, so she stung her boyfriend Qiao Bin, who was not talking to her.
"California...California Polytechnic has only opened the Department of Philosophy in recent years. Maybe you don't know?" Qiao Bin smiled.
"Oh, so that's it. Maybe I remembered it wrong," Su Mo nodded with a smile. "Then according to this, the Department of Philosophy should be assigned to the Department of Literature, right?"
"Yes, our department is a new major derived from the Department of Literature, and we are studying Thales' ancient simple materialism..."
"But... Caltech doesn't have a department of literature at all?"
Su Mo said slowly.
"ah?!"
Qiao Bin was stunned and looked at Su Mo with shock. He kept hesitating in cold sweat. His calm demeanor and elegant conversation were gone. He could not give Su Mo a complete answer. At this moment, Wang Shiqing suddenly broke out.
"Second leader, what does it mean to call this companion... do you come here to tear down my desk on purpose? Since it is a class reunion, can't everyone happily talk about the beautiful memories of the past? Do you have to make each other unhappy?"
Jiang Yueling stared at Wang Shiqing, who was almost about to cry, and she didn't expect that she could say such words with shamelessness. "If you insist on saying something, we have no good memories before, right?"
"Look! I knew you were still holding a grudge against me! Do you always think that I instigated others to do the people in the class who used notes to scold you, wrote big words on the blackboard, stole your test papers, and scribbling your notes!"
When Wang Shiqing didn't have an attack, she was still a gentle lady. When she had an attack, she was like a self-destructing grenade, which shocked all the other students who wanted to persuade the two to sit down and chat with each other. The scene became very ugly for a while.
It was only at this time that Su Mo realized that Yue Ling had been bullied like this before, and he was silently feeling distressed for Yue Ling.
Just as the atmosphere on the scene was about to break out and was about to collapse, Jiang Yueling smiled slightly at this time, "I... don't think so. I am indeed a very annoying class monitor in high school."
Everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Yueling's body. She lowered her head slightly, cutting the steak on the plate and eating it while saying:
"When I was in high school, I never let go of homework checking and memorizing, nor did I borrow others to copy homework. When I was in charge of discipline, I would remember my name as long as anyone said something. Anyone in the class brought a mobile phone and would report it to the class teacher as soon as possible. Never watch anyone cheat in the exam..."
"I know that everyone has said a lot of bad things from behind my back. Looking back from the current perspective, some of them are really stupid... because I was only thinking about the responsibilities of the class monitor. Since I became the class monitor, I had the obligation to be responsible to the people in the class so that everyone could maintain a good classroom discipline... and so on."
"However, I suddenly told you about this today, and I didn't want to apologize to you, because I never felt that I had done something wrong."
Jiang Yueling cleared her throat, then shouted loudly, "If you are ridiculed and despised for doing your job well, it is definitely not my problem, but your problem, it is this world, there is a problem in itself!"
As Jiang Yueling was talking, she put her hands on Su Mo's thigh and pinched her, as if she wanted to gain courage in this way. After Jiang Yueling gave her speech, Su Mo was the first to applaud, and then everyone clapped one after another. Some people even cheered, "It's the world's fault." The atmosphere suddenly became happy and enthusiastic. Wang Shiqing did not understand the current situation, but just looked at the food on the plate and ignored her. Qiao Bin on the side talked to her and she didn't pay much attention.
As for Jiang Yueling, after delivering these speeches, she suddenly felt extremely ashamed and shrank into a ball. Su Mo talked to her and she just shook her head. Now she wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.
Me, I...what am I talking about? Hello!
What exactly am I talking about before I suddenly talk about such a topic!!!
Jiang Yueling was ashamed of that for a long time, and finally came to her senses. She grabbed Su Mo's windbreaker cuff and pointed to the plate on the table. Su Mo quickly cut the steak and delivered it to her mouth.
"You were very brave just now...that's what you said, right?"
Jiang Yueling nodded and hummed in a low voice with a little pride, "It's super cool!"
The boycott that Yue Ling suffered in high school seemed to be nothing extraordinary to her at that time. She also realized that she was resisting, so these classmates, and even Wang Shiqing, did not cause any psychological shadow or harm to her.
But what to say...
After the class reunion, Su Mo and Jiang Yueling had just left the restaurant door when they were suddenly stopped from behind.
The one who called them was a little girl, and Yue Ling's high school classmate.
"Teacher, there were too many people just now and I couldn't tell you anything, but... what I want to tell you is that I've always been grateful for what you did in high school. At that time, my deskmate always cheated in the exam, and he would show off in the class every time he copied a good grade.
"I was very angry and felt very unfair. What I thought in my mind was that if she kept showing off like this, although the true nature of the college entrance examination would be revealed, she would have a high school life recognized by everyone. Teachers like her and classmates respect her. She would have many friends. Even if she failed the college entrance examination, everyone just felt that she performed abnormally..."
"But... but I don't dare to tell the teacher, for fear that the teacher thinks I am jealous of others and will scold me for asking me to take care of my own affairs, because my grades are not good..."
"But at that time, you stood up," the girl said, holding Jiang Yueling's hand, "Fortunately, you stood up at that time... Otherwise, I would have been bothered by this matter throughout my senior year!"
On the way back to school, Yue Ling's face was almost engraved with the words "Happy" in capital letters. Su Mo could even hear her humming a little song while holding hands with her.
"Is it so worth being thanked?"
"Then...then!" Jiang Yueling said excitedly, "I thought I was always a terrier whom I hated when I was in high school."
"Who dares to say that to you, I'll beat him up."
"Forget it... I will definitely be the one who was beaten up at that time, and I will take care of you at that time." Jiang Yueling smiled, "I will feel a little uncomfortable because of high school."
Jiang Yueling is not afraid of the threat from the enemy. What she is afraid of and uncomfortable is just not understood. This is also an important reason why she suddenly becomes autistic when she goes to college.
So, Su Mo suddenly realized that someone had come forward to support her, so this feeling was naturally something that Su Mo could not understand.
"How is it... Is it really rewarding to participate in the class reunion?"
"Well..." Jiang Yueling nodded with a smile, "But I shouldn't go in the future."
"Why, are you afraid of embarrassment?"
"Not..."
Jiang Yueling jumped and turned to Su Mo, and pinched Su Mo's cheek.
"I'm mainly worried. When I go there later, I don't know if you would use fiancé or use a strange name to describe the relationship between us..."
"If you insist on saying it, I was your fiancé... You forgot that your mother lied to me to sign a marriage agreement-"
"No! Let me mention it again! That thing!"
Whether everything that Yue Ling has experienced in her previous life is nothing that Su Mo knows is that Yili has experienced in her previous life. In Su Mo's impression, Yili rarely mentions her past before high school in her previous life, and the only friend that can catch her eye is Xiao Yingzi.
Now Su Mo, Xiaorou and Yueling's high school classmate Su Mo, have roughly known each other. In addition to Yaoyili, Xiaorou and Yueling's high school life seems to be not smooth. Considering that Yaoyili is the opposite of Yili in his previous life, Su Mo can roughly imagine Yili's past experience in his previous life.
There must be some bullying, and it was because of the bullying she was brought up after she stood up for injustice. In addition, no one gave her support or help.
Originally, Su Mo could not imagine the image that Yili stood up for others in her previous life, but Su Mo had already seen Xiaorou perform in her senior year, so he would not have such a strong sense of incongruity.
Yili...
Su Mo took a deep breath, quickly caught up with Jiang Yueling who was strode in front, and hugged her from behind.
"Hey! Why are you doing... Are you embarrassed to do this suddenly on the street?"
Jiang Yueling pushed Su Mo hard, but Su Mo refused to let go.
"Let me hug you for a while, I won't be able to hug you during the Chinese New Year."
"Who said I couldn't hold you back then...I'm here for the New Year." Jiang Yueling said softly, "I will go to Baimei County during the New Year to see you."
"Really! Your family has agreed?"
"I just said to visit Yili's house, and I didn't say anything else..."
"That's pretty good too!"
Su Mo seemed very happy and hugged Yue Ling tighter.
"Hey... don't forget the serious things! I went to your house just to meet the parents. You have to tell me what your parents like, and I'll take them there at that time..."
"This, it doesn't matter if you don't specifically agree with the parents..." Su Mo said quietly, "Isn't your identity Yili's classmate? It won't be a bit strange to send things to my house."
"Ah... it's right," Jiang Yueling suddenly said a little lonely, "Yili is your girlfriend... I don't even have a big fuck."
"You're not so bad... Don't belittle yourself!"
"Then what you mean is that I'm a big deal!" Jiang Yueling suddenly became even more angry after being comforted.
However, this time the two did not quarrel over this time, but looked at each other, and then... they burst into laughter.
This year, Su Mo and the others went home much more than last year, because Xiaorou had no academic pressure in her senior year. However, before going home, Xiaorou specially asked Su Mo to visit the mall with her. She was a senior high school student last year, and it was reasonable to go home empty-handed. This year, she is already a college student. With a certain amount of time and ability to be independent, Xiaorou plans to prepare some gifts for Su’s parents and mothers.
"I said... Xiaorou, don't I really have to pay today?"
"No, I saved a lot of money, just to use it at this time..." Lu Xiaorou showed Su Mo his small wallet filled with stuffed, "And, the money in it is basically from Brother Su Mo."
Although Xiaorou was still as sensible as ever, Su Mo was not very happy. On the contrary, he seemed very unhappy.
"What you mean is that you didn't spend much on the living expenses I usually give you, right?"
"No, that's..." Xiaorou explained hesitantly, "It's because she usually eats with Brother Su Mo, and Brother Su Mo always helps me swipe my card... Also, Sister Yue Ling and Sister Xiao Rou will also buy things for me, so in the end there is no chance to spend money on their own. At least if I buy a gift this time, I want to pay for it myself."
"I always feel like I have encountered such a scene several times..." Su Mo stared at Xiaorou for a long time. Xiaorou was still pretending to be calm, pursing her lips, staring at Su Mo with a serious look on her face.
"Okay...then it's up to you. But you are not allowed to buy wool ball knitted gloves or scarves. Although that can show your feelings, it takes more time."
"Isn't it possible?" Lu Xiaorou looked very aggrieved. It was obvious that the hand fabric was considered by Xiaorou.
"Of course not. If you spend time knitting things, you won't have time to accompany me."
Su Mo smiled and said, "You leave more time for me and stay by my side, that is the best gift for me."
Lu Xiaorou looked at Su Mo with a blushing face for a while, then turned around and looked at the dazzling array of shelves.
Xiaorou is now financially limited, and the things she can buy are some gadgets in boutique stores. On the one hand, she cannot support her financially, and on the other hand, she is worried that she will not taste enough, so she doesn't think much about it for the time being.
"However, uncles and aunts may not like these things in the boutique... Apart from hand fabrics, I really can't think of anything particularly good for my elders."
"Not necessarily. Look at these hats, clutches and so on, won't it work?"
"These are things that young girls can buy, and my aunt probably won't like them."
"Is that so? I think there should be no age limit for this..."
"However, you can also take a look at the boutique..." Lu Xiaorou smiled, "I don't just want to bring gifts to my uncles and aunts, but also gifts from others."
"And... other people's?"
