Insufficient balance

  "Get out. Go cook your meal." Xiao Xiao kicked Wu Er's butt and he obediently returned to the kitchen.

  "Haha." The crowd erupted into chaos.

  Lan Miao hastily asked Xiao Xiao if Xiaolian really liked him, and there was a hint of jealousy in her eyes.

  "Don't listen to his nonsense, I failed. He succeeded. That's just how things are, some things are just destined." Xiao Xiao smiled faintly.

  "Meow meow." Lan Miao Miao clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Too good, too good!"

  Hua Jun proposed that when school starts, Xiao Xiao should sit in his car and go to Tianjing together, and he guaranteed that with his driving skills, they would arrive within three hours.

  "No." Xiao Xiao sat up, "Next week I'll ride a bike, who's going with me?"

  "Meow meow." Lan Miao Miao blinked her eyes, praising him for being so awesome. She had already become Xiao Xiao's number one fan, with infinite admiration for him in her heart.

  Lei Tian naturally also approved of Xiao Xiao, only thinking that riding a bike from Chang Hai to Tian Jing for over 500 kilometers was a bit long. But then he thought about the reputation of the little demon, and it wasn't called in vain.

  "Turtle, what's wrong with you? Still riding a bike at this hour." Huajun pointed at Xiao Xiao's head and scolded him for acting like a lone hero.

  "Otherwise, how about it? What's your trick?" Xiao Xiao was taken aback.

  Hua Jun patted his shoulder and told him to ditch the bicycle from today on, get a driver's license for himself, and start learning how to drive and drift.

  "No car." Xiao Xiao smiled awkwardly.

  Hua Jun pointed to the Audi A4 and BMW 5 series outside and let Xiao Xiao choose for herself.

  "Give it to me." Xiao Xiao said.

  "It's good that you're even willing to start." Hua Jun smiled.

  "Uh, guide me then?" Xiao Xiao thought it was somewhat interesting.

  Hua Jun saw Xiao Mo Guai wanting to be his master and was very excited, asking him which one he wanted to learn: racing, picking up girls, or drifting?

  "Haha, spare some time and let me experience it." Xiao Xiao laughed.

  "Let's talk about it in Tianjing," said Hua Jun, putting down his wine glass and lighting a cigarette. He talked about the two racing organizations in Tianjing, one called Tiandi Huo and the other Longcheng Yizhuang. Both had many members and often held street racing events, whether on the mountain roads of Longcheng Mountain or the coastal highway of Tianjing City. The scene was quite impressive. In a crowd of people, as soon as you stopped your car, a group of beautiful girls would immediately follow you.

  "This is so awesome. I've never seen it before." Xiao Xiao was overjoyed.

  "I've never seen one," said Hua Jun, somewhat discouraged. "But I'll know once I get there. In my four years of college, I have no other dreams. One is to participate in 10,000 drag racing competitions, and the other is to hook up with 10,000 chicks."

  "My god."

  "Right," Hu Xuan lit a cigarette with her well-manicured fingers, "Hua Jun, you have to do what I asked of you."

  "What's up?" Huajun spat out smoke.

  Hu Xiang got very angry and thought to herself, "Just the other day I told him this, but he's already forgotten today." She immediately scolded him, saying that people who only think about chasing girls are brainless due to a lack of essence, and their weak kidneys make them always forgetful. It was really unbelievable.

  Hua Jun saw that she was angry and couldn't get a word in edgewise against her scolding, so he hastily apologized and asked her to repeat herself, saying that this time he would remember even if he were beaten to death.

  Hu Shan puffed on his cigarette and said seriously: "I want to set up a high-end online shopping platform in Tianjing, and when the time comes, I'll use your company's express delivery service. Give me a discount, half price."

  Hua Jun waved his hand and shouted, "It's nothing, no problem at all. Everything will be mailed freely, all for free."

  Hu Shan immediately declined and said: "No way, half price. Doing business, one code for one code. By the way, when will your family's express foreign line open?"

  It's rare to see her so serious.

  Hua Jun didn't care about his family business at all, and even said he didn't know, which was quicker. He only thought about how to speed up after arriving in Tianjing.

  "Great," Lei Tian praised, "Little Fox is really something. As expected of a student from the University of Economics and Trade, she's already doing business as soon as school starts, and she's heading in the direction of becoming a young rich woman."

  "That's it, I've spent four years and can't just stare at textbooks in the classroom, I have to make a few million somehow." Hu Xiang thought of her own future and smiled contentedly.

  Lei Tian was puzzled: "Is Hu Shan's family really just a jewelry store owner? And they're still short of tens of millions?"

  "That was my parents', I myself must also get some business, experience the feeling of entrepreneurship." Hu Shan gazed at the white clouds in the sky, sipping hot vegetable soup, with a few beads of sweat seeping from her cheeks.

  "I didn't have such a big wish." Lei Tian took out a large, bright red shrimp, "I graduated and went to Tianjing to open a gym or something. At that time, take a look around, the whole field is full of strong men. Everyone lines up, puts their thick arms on the water tank, absolutely no one dares to provoke them. How cool! Xiao Ge, you have to help me with this, be my fitness coach."

  Sighing and taking a sip of wine, he loudly shouted "I won't do it! I won't do it!"

  "Xiao Xiao, how have you been since arriving at Tianjing Agricultural University?" Wang Zixun's eyes sparkled as he looked at him.

  "How to spend? Spend day by day."

  The prince heard his response, not without worry, and was concerned about his fiery temper. He told him that at present, Tianjing University has been infiltrated by some organizations, which specialize in luring college students into doing all sorts of bad things such as ice skating, prostitution, fighting, and other miscellaneous evils.

  "What's there to worry about? I'm not doing anything bad." Xiao Xiao was puzzled. "I just go to school and that's it."

  The prince smiled wryly and said, "If you can control your temper, it's no problem. But what if you can't? In Tianjing City, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. The complex web of relationships is intertwined, and one misstep could lead to chaos. Organizations like the Black Fish Society and the Heavenly Way Hall have a notorious reputation and are not to be trifled with. Lei Tian has gone to Jiangjing. As for himself, he's stuck in military school with strict rules and can't just leave at will. Hu Shan and Miao Miao are both girls who need protection. Even though they're all in Tianjing, only Hua Jun is left to hang out with him regularly.

  "Hei Yu Hui, Tiandao Hall?" Xiao Xiao had never heard of it before. He didn't seem to be intimidated by these legendary organizations.

  Hua Jun heard the name of the gang and loudly said "Nothing's wrong, what could be wrong?"

  "Hey." Wang Zixu looked at Hua Jun, also a bit worried. "Besides playing with cars, it's all about chasing girls. When playing with cars, be extremely careful and never hit innocent people. As for chasing girls, you have to be careful too, don't blindly chase after them, or you might end up getting into trouble by messing with someone else's girl. I think, with your two million goals, you won't even have time to find Xiao Xiao."

  What's Hua Jun being cautious about? There are some mischievous monsters around, and they'll destroy whoever they see. Besides, in the worst-case scenario, we can just transfer troops from Changhai to Tianjing. Inter-provincial fights aren't impossible. Although there are fewer people in Changhai City, it's still possible to put up a good fight.

  Wangzi Xun told Hua Jun, "Distant water won't quench present thirst," and he's afraid that before the reinforcements arrive, they'll be wiped out. When you're in a foreign land, you can't help but be on guard. He only hopes that everyone has a smooth and happy university life. As for other things, don't take the initiative to provoke trouble. But if something happens, he won't be afraid either.

  "Right." Everyone agreed.

  "Lei Ge, I've brought you some delicious food."

  Wu Er came out of the kitchen with a large tray, placed it in front of Lei Tian, on which were several strings of sharp iron wire threaded with tender meat.

  Lei Tian took a string and ate it, praising: "Delicious, what is this? So awesome"

  "Awesome?" Wu Er smiled and said.

  Lei Tian nodded: "Awesome, what's up?"

  "It's awesome." Wu Er said.

  Lei Tiandao: "Damn it, I know it's awesome, but what exactly is it?"

  "It's awesome." Wu Er frowned and said.

  Lei Tiandao: "Yes, I know you're awesome, but what's with the old cow? What is this? Ah? Wait a minute." He suddenly stopped, his eyes wooden, "Why does this conversation feel so familiar?" Suddenly waking up, he asked Wu Er: "Is this not awesome?"

  Wu Er raised his thumb, "Yes, you're really smart to say that, Lei Ge."

  "But then, why does it taste different?" Lei Tian wondered.

  "This is a snail." Wu Er smiled and said.

  Lei Tian almost fainted when he heard this.

  "Haha."

  "Lei Ge," Wu Er suddenly became serious, "You know what? It's you who sparked my creative desire. From today on, I've decided to retreat and focus on research. By the time I emerge, our Tianwai Mountain Villa will launch a new, uniquely-made brand dish that will dominate Changhai City."

  Lei Tian was shocked to hear that his energy was so great and excitedly asked Wu Er what dish he had created.

  "The Bull Series." Wu Er was over the moon, full of expectation, "From now on, our Tianwai Manor menu will add Gongbao Bull, Fish-flavored Bull, Plum Blossom Bull, Tomato Stew Bull, Pickled Mustard Green Bull. This dish series is sure to be a hit, Lei Ge, my dear brother." Wu Er excitedly grasped Lei Tian's hand, "Thanks so much for your creativity. How are you so awesome? From now on, our Tianwai Manor will have a share for you, come over during Chinese New Year to collect your dividend. Just remember, you must come!"

  "Uh, I'm your elder brother, aren't I Wu Da? Xiao Lian, Xiao Lian." Lei Tian was completely stunned by his enthusiasm.

  Everyone wakes up Lei Tian, Xiao Xiao lets Wu Er go back to entertain other guests, so that Lei Tian won't faint again.

  "By the way, I'll let you all know that I'm reporting to Tianjing Military Academy tomorrow." Wang Zixun broke the silence and stood up, his voice calm.

  Everyone was shocked and did not expect him to start school so early.

  "As soon as you enter the school, you'll be enlisted. As soon as you step through the school gate, military training begins. The militarized management is strict, with no mercy for anyone. Today, in this desolate wilderness, it's like a farewell banquet." Wang Zixun took a sip of beer.

  Everyone felt sorry for him suffering so much and from then on they didn't dare drink freely and enjoy themselves.

  The prince smiled calmly, "I'm just fine with this way, nothing difficult to say. Otherwise, I wouldn't have applied for the military academy."

  "After graduation, where will you be?" Xiao Xiao didn't know why he asked this question. He thought he was someone who didn't care about the future, yet he asked about his future.

  "Bustling metropolis, coastal frontier, snowy highlands, wherever needs me, I'll go there." Prince Xun's face was stern and calm.

  Everyone suddenly felt that Wang Zixun's future was uncertain, like a fallen autumn leaf, and no one knew where the dust would eventually settle. They all felt a little desolate, and gradually fell silent, sinking into silence.

  "Wait, you haven't asked me what I want to do for the next four years of university yet, meow." Lan Miao Miao argued anxiously.

  "What?"

  "Marry the little monster, meow."

  "Good." Everyone applauded in surprise. Since that night of the graduation ceremony, she really opened up her heart as a girl.

  "I was the first to support you, but you have to work hard! Meow meow." Xiao Xiao smiled at her and pulled out a recorder from his pocket, saying: "Just now everyone talked about their dreams in college, I recorded it all with this recorder. Now I'll put this recorder into a time capsule." He took out a small box from under the seat, opened it, and took out a large capsule that was waterproof, shockproof, and anticorrosive. He put the recorder into the capsule and sealed it tightly.

  "After we graduate from college, let's open the capsule again and see if our dreams have come true?" Xiaoxiao said with a wave of her hand, throwing the time capsule into the pond.

  The capsule pierced through the water surface and fell into the muddy pool. The ripples left on the water surface, circle by circle, quietly and continuously spreading out.
