System: Master Your Life

Chapter 18: Yu Xinyan filled with vivid colors and unspoken words in her youth


The Zhe cuisine restaurant Xu Lin found is called West Lake Banquet, about four or five hundred meters away from the east gate of Jiangdu University.

After opening the map for navigation, Xu Lin led four girls together to the destination.

"This Zhe cuisine restaurant looks quite popular!"

Upon arriving at the destination, seeing quite a few people waiting outside, Li Weiyan was rather surprised.

Yan Caiyu said, "The long line at least proves that the Zhe cuisine here tastes good, it seems worth a try!"

Xu Lin scanned the QR code nearby to get a number.

He asked for a table for six, and there were two tables ahead of them in the queue.

Fairly quick.

They waited for fifteen minutes before it was their turn.

After ordering, within half an hour, five dishes and one soup were served successively.

While eating, Li Weiyan and Yan Caiyu, the two girls who talk comparatively more, started discussing future plans.

Yu Xinyan and the others finished their military training yesterday, today and during the weekend they could rest, and classes formally begin next week, marking the official start of school, making everyone inevitably imagine the future.

So, what to do in the future?

Li Weiyan spoke first, "My dad hopes I'll go into politics, but I'm not interested in politics. My mom hopes I'll become a university teacher; she's a professor at Kyoto University! She even wanted me to enroll at Kyoto University at first, but I've lived in the Capital City for 18 years and wanted a change, hence I came to Jiangdu. As for whether I'll stay in Jiangdu or the Capital City in the future, I haven't decided yet, and what I want to do in the future, I don't have a clear idea at the moment either. Being a university teacher is one of my options, but I'll decide this semester!"

Yan Caiyu said, "My family hopes for me to go back and inherit the family business, I don't quite understand, but I rather want to contribute to national construction in the future!"

"Caiyu has ambition!"

Li Weiyan asked Gu Qing, "Qing Qing, how about you?"

Gu Qing said indifferently, "I might go to the National Academy of Sciences."

Li Weiyan, "Right! Your grandfather is at the National Academy of Sciences!"

Li Weiyan proceeded to ask Yu Xinyan, "Yanyan, and you?"

"I haven't decided yet..."

Yu Xinyan looked at the others, then at Xu Lin.

In reality, Yu Xinyan didn't have big dreams or pursuits; she just thought that wherever Xu Lin was in the future, like if Xu Lin stayed in Jiangdu, she'd stay in Jiangdu for work, get married and have children, mutually supporting each other. That's Yu Xinyan's biggest expectation in life.

"I see..."

Li Weiyan looked at Xu Lin, who was drinking a cola, "Xu Lin, how about you?"

Xu Lin listened to the girls talking, he had already settled down.

Li Weiyan doesn't know what her family does, but her father hopes she'll go into politics, note the word "politics." Normal people would just say take the public exam to enter the system, politics has nothing to do with average people; once inside, it's just about working. Moreover, Li Weiyan's mom is a professor at Kyoto University, which makes her family not ordinary, at least that of an elite intellectual background. Besides, she's a native of the Capital City, a place where you could randomly hit someone important with a brick. Therefore, what they call politics is not the same as a typical person's public exam aspirations.

This family situation of Li Weiyan could include high-ranking officials but who knows.

Yan Caiyu will inherit the family business, we don't know what the family does, but having a business to inherit means definitely a wealthy family.

Gu Qing's grandfather is at the National Academy of Sciences, grandfather? Might be an academician?

So, what kind of dormitory is this?

Xu Lin wasn't one to show off, besides, however impressive you are here, you can't go overboard.

So Xu Lin straightforwardly settled down and didn't talk about any grand ambitions.

In this scene, even someone like Liu Longsheng pretending to be impressive would have to settle down.

Just said, "I'm likely to work in Jiangdu, but what exactly I'll do is still in planning."

"No matter what, let's all hope our futures can achieve our dreams!"

Li Weiyan raised her glass; no one was drinking alcohol, but all were drinking cola.

Li Weiyan said, "Everyone, let's toast!"

So everyone toasted.

Li Weiyan and Yan Caiyu were quite innocent, easy to talk to.

Xu Lin had heard that people from the Capital City tend to have a sense of pride since they are under the emperor's feet.

But in Li Weiyan, Xu Lin didn't feel that, instead finding her quite approachable.

Xu Lin chatted with them, learning that Li Weiyan was from the Capital City, Gu Qing from Su City, and Yan Caiyu from the provincial capital of Eastern Guangdong.

However, during the meal, it was mostly Li Weiyan and Yan Caiyu who talked more, Gu Qing barely said anything, sitting rather aloof.

Xu Lin didn't mind.

Full and satisfied.

Li Weiyan opened her phone, "Xu Lin, let's add each other!"

Yan Caiyu said too, "I'll add you too!"

"Okay!"

So Xu Lin scanned to add them.

The usually silent Gu Qing surprisingly took out her phone as well, Xu Lin also scanned her QR code, unsure if it was to just save face by adding her as a friend.

Full and satisfied, they took a walk for about twenty minutes, then Xu Lin separated from them.

"Xu Lin, goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

Li Weiyan and Yan Caiyu waved goodbye to Xu Lin.

"Goodbye, beautiful ladies!"

Xu Lin waved too.

Yu Xinyan was still following Xu Lin.

She hugged her backpack, following behind Xu Lin.

Yu Xinyan asked him, "Xu Lin, where are you staying tonight?"

It was already nine p.m., with it taking more than an hour to return to Finance University, it would be past ten.

"I should return to school!"

"Are you heading back soon?"

"Yeah."

Yu Xinyan felt a bit lost.

Finally seeing Xu Lin for a while, but after a few hours, they'd have to part again.
