Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 361 - 243: Not Really...

Shen Qiushan looked at Lin Moxuan with an expression of speechlessness, as the latter beat around the bush and involved him in the matter, for just this?

Indeed, among men, Little Blue Bottle is the true hard currency!

"What’s Little Blue Bottle?"

Lin Jiayu looked at her dad and brother-in-law, Shen Qiushan, with suspicion.

Meanwhile, Chen Qingzhu and Lin Xiamo, mother and daughter, quietly bowed their heads and started eating.

"Kids shouldn’t ask randomly."

Lin Moxuan replied with a straight face.

"I’m already 20 years old."

"I’m not a kid anymore!"

Lin Jiayu slightly pursed her lips.

Of course, Lin Moxuan wouldn’t explain this matter to his daughter. He turned to Shen Qiushan: "Any problems?"

"Hmm, up to three bottles."

Shen Qiushan hasn’t been drawing prizes much lately, and his inventory is limited, so he needs to conserve a bit.

"Alright, deal!"

Lin Moxuan nodded immediately. Actually, he was just trying his luck, and even though he didn’t agree with Lin Xiamo resigning, the decision was made, and it couldn’t be changed.

Moreover, Lin Xiamo had gotten the chance to perform on the Spring Festival Gala stage, which was quite a glory for the family!

Red Rose Tavern.

Even though the weather has become quite cold.

The visitors coming to check-in were endless, and a long queue was still at the waiting area outside.

Back for winter break in Sanjiang, Luo Yao had arranged to meet her high school friend Liu Meiyu, the latter having entered Sanjiang Music College. Last time when Lu Xingchen had a concert in Sanjiang, due to Shen Yixiao appearing on the big screen, the two even had some interaction.

"Never thought it was still this popular!"

"Do we wait in line?"

Looking at the long queue, Liu Meiyu frowned.

"Yeah, might as well, we’re already here."

Luo Yao had two purposes for coming to the Red Rose Tavern this time, one was to mend her relationship with Shen Yanran, and the other was to see if there was any chance of getting back together with Shen Yixiao.

After returning to Sanjiang for winter break, her mother had fiercely scolded her.

After all, Luo Yao was just a step away from marrying into wealth!

And Luo Yao herself was of course filled with regret, breaking up with Shen Yixiao, and seeing the "future father-in-law" Shen Qiushan becoming more and more impressive.

She didn’t even dare imagine how much he had earned and how terrifying his current net worth would be.

"How about I give Yanran a call?"

"Seeing her social media, she seems to be helping out at the tavern lately."

Liu Meiyu knew Shen Yanran too; during high school, she, Luo Yao, and Shen Yanran were friends.

Just that back then Shen Yanran’s relationship with Luo Yao was a bit closer.

"Hmm, that works too."

Luo Yao nodded, having been blocked by Shen Yanran on all contact, making it impossible to reach her.

Liu Meiyu immediately dialed Shen Yanran’s number.

After waiting for quite a while, the call finally connected: "Meiyu, what’s up?"

"Yanran, are you at the Red Rose Tavern?"

"Yeah, I’m here!" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"I’m waiting outside, mind if I cut in line?"

Liu Meiyu asked cheerfully.

"Huh?"

"You’re outside?"

"I’ll come out now!"

Even though Shen Yanran had broken ties with Luo Yao, she still cherished her high school friends.

"Yanran said she’s coming out now."

"You didn’t tell her I’m here?"

"Didn’t have time to go into detail, Yanran hung up as soon as she heard me."

Liu Meiyu shrugged.

And just as they were talking, Shen Yanran, wearing an apron with the "Red Rose Tavern" logo, came rushing out of the store.

She glanced at the crowded queue and quickly spotted Liu Meiyu and Luo Yao.

Shen Yanran slightly raised her brows, evidently surprised to see Luo Yao as well.

However, she was already out and couldn’t ignore Liu Meiyu just because of Luo Yao’s presence.

"Yanran, over here!"

Liu Meiyu waved with a big smile at Shen Yanran.

Shen Yanran took a deep breath and quickly walked over.

"Yanran, long time no see."

Luo Yao initiated the conversation.

"Yeah, long time no see."

Shen Yanran nodded slightly; when she had blocked Luo Yao, she was also amidst a fit of anger.

In hindsight, it wasn’t really necessary to be so drastic. After all, they were once friends; just cooling off a bit would have sufficed.

Kids are the ones who act on impulse!

Adults’ farewells often come silently.

A once-close friend, you find yourselves contacting each other less and less, one month, two months...

Then one day, you suddenly realize, you haven’t contacted each other in one or two years; amid quiet years, your once-friendly ties slowly drift apart.

"Yanran, I hope our relationship won’t be affected by my breakup with Shen Yixiao."

"If what I did has hurt you, I apologize now!"

Luo Yao said earnestly.

"Let’s talk inside."

Shen Yanran waved her hand casually; she knew the relationship with Luo Yao could never return to what it was.

However, as classmates, opportunities to meet would still occur, like this winter break’s class reunion.

Before the vacation even started, class president Zhou Yu was already organizing the reunion in the class group.

The chubby guy who once pursued Shen Yanran for three years had gone to Hu City University, and despite being separated by distance, he was still quite keen.

Occasionally he would still send Shen Yanran messages on WeChat, and this time organizing the winter class reunion could be seen as having other intentions besides just the get-together.

Knowing the unlikelihood of getting Shen Yanran to meet alone, he organized the class reunion.

It’s quite normal for such high school reunions to happen, especially in the first couple of years after entering university.

Every time it’s break, someone would organize a high school reunion.
