The delayed news felt like a stimulant, injecting excitement into everyone's hearts. The three of them walked out through the back door of the examination hall, smiles beaming on their faces.
Lin, Fatty Chen, and Lu Liang had all entered Wuyuan Star through special recruitment, which was the best outcome for everyone!
As they stepped outside, Lu Liang paused for a moment, then shrugged and asked, "What are you guys planning to do next?"
"Of course..."
Lin was about to answer "go home" without thinking, but before he could say anything, Fatty Chen interjected, "Of course we're going to celebrate!"
"After all our hard work over the years, what was it all for? Isn't it for this moment!"
Fatty Chen waved his arms excitedly, shouting, "Let's eat! Drink! Dance! Have a blast!"
"For the end of the Star League Examination! Let's celebrate!"
After the exams, students usually chose this time to celebrate because no one knew their scores and wouldn't be troubled by the results.
This was a release from years of pressure; over a decade of repression would be unleashed tonight!
Seeing Fatty Chen's body jiggling with excitement made Lin smile. He shook his head and echoed, "Alright then, let's celebrate tonight!"
With Lin's approval, both Fatty Chen and Lu Liang exchanged excited glances.
As long as Lin, this tough nut to crack, gave a nod, celebrating would pose no difficulty for them. They could eat whatever they wanted and do whatever they pleased.
With Lin around, everything would taste delicious and every activity would be enjoyable!
"Can we go to Starlight? It's the best restaurant in the whole city, absolutely five-star standard!"
"What restaurant! With my brother around, which chef can compare to him!"
"Oh! Right, Lin is still a Culinary God. Is his cooking really that good?"
"That's a joke. You haven't tasted it. I'm telling you, even a pile of crap, my brother can make it taste amazing!"
"Hey! Fat Black Man, can you not be so disgusting..."
Fatty Chen and Lu Liang walked shoulder to shoulder ahead, excitedly discussing what to eat for dinner. This meal had become the bond that brought the two closer together.
The three of them walked out of the exam hall, which was followed by a small square. At this time, there were not many people left in the square; most of the candidates had already left.
A few cats wandered around the empty square.
"Brother! We're over here!"
A sweet voice called out. In the spacious square, Lu Meimei and Qin Wei stood not far away, hiding in the shadows and waving at Lu Liang.
"Here!"
At the same time, a shout from Poverty Old Man echoed nearby. A Silver Sports Car was parked beside him, and the floral shirt he wore fluttered in the wind.
"I have some things to take care of; you guys wait for me."
"Okay, brother, go ahead!"
Lin turned to Fatty and the others and then walked over to Poverty Old Man.
In front of the Poverty Old Man, he smiled broadly at Lin, patted his arm, and asked, "So, how do you feel about the exam?"
"Not bad, I've already been accepted into the fourth-ranked academy, Wuyuan Star."
Lin Qing said casually, as if getting into a prestigious school was an easy feat for him.
The Poverty Old Man was momentarily taken aback, then his mouth broke into a wide grin as he kept patting Lin's arm, exclaiming, "Great! Well done! No wonder you're the son of Lin Zhongxun and Shuyao; you have a bright future ahead!"
Lin remained silent, simply smiling with his lips pressed together, sitting up straight like a soldier receiving an honor.
After some praise, the Poverty Old Man suddenly realized something. "Oh right, don't just stand there! Call Fatty; I'll take you all out for a nice meal!"
"Poverty Old Man, that might not work. I have some friends I want to be with... How about this: you come with me instead!" Lin said awkwardly.
"I see... then forget it. I won't trouble you young folks. You should have your own lives!"
The Poverty Old Man wasn't one to nag. Upon hearing that Lin already had plans, he patted Lin's arm and turned to walk towards the car.
Having lived for so long, the Poverty Old Man was quite perceptive. He could tell that Lin was in a difficult position; those friends must be important to him and not easily dismissed. Thus, he took the initiative to leave so as not to put Lin in a tough spot.
Once in the car, the Poverty Old Man rolled down the window and suddenly remembered something important to remind Lin. With a serious expression, he said, "Remember the Chef Assessment coming up; prepare well for it!"
"Sure! Don't worry, Poverty Old Man."
This did indeed remind Lin that he had another chef assessment ahead of him.
Although the Chef Assessment wouldn't be as nerve-wracking as today's exam for Lin, he still needed to prepare properly. It seemed he would need to review past exam questions when he got back.
After giving instructions about the Chef Assessment, the Poverty Old Man rolled up the car window.
The Silver Lightning Sports Car emitted a deep rumble and suddenly sped away, creating a powerful gust of wind that blew Lin's loose hair into the air.
Watching as the lightning gradually disappeared from view, Lin smiled and shook his head, muttering to himself, "Poverty Old Man, you really are young at heart..."
"Thank you for taking care of me all these years..."
With a dreamy look in his eyes, Lin stood there for a long time, gazing at the place where the Poverty Old Man had left, motionless.
...
"Lin?"
Lü Liang and the others had arrived behind Lin without him noticing. He called out to Lin, bringing him back to reality as Lin slowly withdrew his gaze.
Turning around, Lin saw familiar smiling faces, feeling a bit dazed.
In the sunlight, Fatty grinned widely, next to him was Lü Liang with a warm smile on his face. Qin Wei looked shyly at Lin, revealing an embarrassed smile, and there was Delinquent Girl Lu Meimei, crossing her arms and glancing at Lin from the side.
Unbeknownst to him, a group of such diverse personalities had gathered around him, their paths to friendship even somewhat extraordinary.
Life is indeed wonderful; who would have thought they would end up as friends?
"Lin? Why are you daydreaming today?"
Lü Liang waved his hand in front of Lin's eyes, asking curiously.
"Really? I might just be a bit tired."
Lin pushed aside the past and changed the subject, continuing, "I'm fine now. Have you decided where to go?"
"Brother! Let's have a barbecue! Your cooking skills are so good; everything you grill must be delicious!"
As soon as food was mentioned, Fatty quickly pushed Lu Liang behind him, excitedly bouncing around, and just like that, Fatty's mouth began to water.
"Yeah, a barbecue party on a summer night sounds great. Hmm, I heard your place has a nice environment. How about we do it in your yard?"
Lu Liang was not to be outdone and peeked out from behind Fatty.
"Alright, then we'll have a barbecue."
Lin smiled lightly, watching this group of kids who seemed as eager as if they were sharing candy.
"Awesome! Brother agreed again; you're the best today!"
Fatty immediately turned around excitedly and ran off to the side.
"Fat Black Man, what are you doing?" Lu Liang shouted urgently as he followed closely behind.
"There’s a big mall nearby. If we're having a barbecue, we naturally need to shop! Buy our own stuff, cook it ourselves, and grill it ourselves—that's what a summer barbecue party is all about!"
Fatty and Lu Liang gradually moved further away from each other.
"Liang, wait for me..."
"Brother! Don't run so fast!"
Qin Wei and Lu Meimei also hurried after them, their dresses fluttering in the wind, trailing gracefully behind them, with their smooth hair giving off an enchanting fragrance.
This is the breath of youth.
"No way! Can't you see that this Fatty is secretly competing with me?"
"Haha! You caught me! Let's see who gets to the mall entrance first!"
"Hmph! You're definitely going to lose, Fat Black Man!"
The two of them, like childish kids, gathered their energy and ran off into the distance, like two whirlwinds sweeping across the plaza.
Standing still, Lin looked up at them, laughing and playing, his eyes filled with warmth.
The afternoon sunlight was so warm, enveloping Lin, and even the occasional breeze carried a sense of comfort.
"Are they going to enter my life now?"
Lin's gaze became a bit dreamy as he thought this.
"But this feeling is nice; it reminds me of life in the orphanage... remembering those childhood companions, such pure friendship..."
The sunlight grew warmer, melting Lin's heart, like a hard candy revealing its soft milk center...
