Chapter 273 Driving You Back
"Look at your university life now, it's truly vibrant and colorful! Back then, I never had the chance to step into the gates of a university, which was a great regret of mine. You are now living in such a wonderful era, so you must cherish your time, study diligently during your university years, and you will surely achieve great things and make a name for yourselves in the future!"
Everyone sat around the dining table, enjoying the delicious food and chatting enthusiastically.
The wine glasses clinked together from time to time, producing a crisp and pleasant sound, which intertwined with the rising and falling laughter to create a joyful melody.
Before we knew it, the two bottles of Moutai on the table had been completely empty.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they all stood up and volunteered to help clear the table.
Ye Wentao deftly stacked the dishes on the table and was about to turn to the kitchen to wash them when Xu Shuhui quickly stopped him, saying with a smile:
"Young man, go and take a rest! You've worked so hard today, we'll take care of washing the dishes."
As she spoke, she took the bowl and plate from Ye Wentao's hands.
At this moment, the three sisters, Zhao Laidi, Zhao Nana, and Zhao Yina, quickly followed and helped to clear away the remaining dishes. In no time, the previously messy dining table became neat and clean.
Afterwards, everyone went into the main room, quickly set up two tables, and prepared to start playing cards.
Li Bin enthusiastically suggested:
"Zhao Zhaodi, if you don't have anything to do tonight, why don't we set up another table and play with Grandpa and Uncle?"
Zhao Yuan laughed and chimed in, "Haha, it's fine for us to just watch the show from the sidelines."
At this moment, Li Bin turned to look at Ye Wentao, patted his forehead, and said:
"Oh dear, cousin, I'll have to trouble you tonight. I really can't hold my liquor, and I'm feeling a bit dizzy right now."
Immediately afterwards, Yan Meili also said coquettishly:
"That's right, I've had a bit too much to drink, and my head isn't quite clear anymore. Zhao Zhaodi, why don't you go upstairs and play for me?"
So Wang Bin's group remained the same, while Li Bin's table was changed to Ye Wentao, and Zhu Jing faced Zhao Zhaodi and Kong Hui.
Let's continue playing the upgrade game.
Time slipped by unnoticed, and it was already 11 p.m.
Everyone was still immersed in the joyful atmosphere, but Ye Wentao glanced at his watch and realized it was getting late, so he suggested:
"How about we call it a day? It's getting late!"
At this moment, Zhao Yuan continued:
“Zhao Di, let’s take these four female students home. It’s so late now, it’s not safe for them to ride their bikes home by themselves. We male students don’t mind, we can just ride our bikes.”
Zhao Zhaodi nodded in agreement after listening, and then said to the female classmates:
"Okay, Zhu Jing, Meili, Muli, and Shanshan, how about this, we'll drive you back, and you can pick up your bicycles tomorrow."
However, Yan Meili declined somewhat shyly:
"Oh, there's no need for that. There shouldn't be any danger."
But Zhao Yuan insisted:
"That won't do, safety comes first! I'll feel more at ease if Zhao Zhaodi and I take you back."
After a brief discussion, everyone ultimately decided to follow Zhao Yuan's arrangements.
So, Zhao Yuan and Zhao Zhaodi, along with four female classmates, got into the car and drove away slowly, while the other male classmates got on their bicycles and rode off in the direction of their respective homes.
Since that day we parted, everyone has been busy making various careful preparations for the upcoming New Year.
Some families are busy giving their houses a thorough cleaning, sweeping away all the dust that has accumulated over the past year;
Some families are happily buying all kinds of New Year's goods, filling their homes to the brim;
In some other households, elders skilled in calligraphy are writing auspicious Spring Festival couplets, while children happily help them put them up.
In addition, skillful housewives cut out exquisite paper-cut window decorations and carefully pasted them on the windows, adding a festive atmosphere to their homes.
The whole city was filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year, and people were looking forward to the new year bringing more happiness and good fortune.
After the lively and festive New Year celebrations, everyone returned to their busy lives.
During this period, Ye Wentao and Zhao Zhaodi unexpectedly ran into each other several times.
With each chance encounter, their relationship gradually became more and more familiar.
Sometimes, they would meet in a quiet library.
On one occasion, Zhao Zhaodi curiously picked up the computer books that Ye Wentao had placed on the table and started flipping through them.
She became increasingly engrossed in what she was looking at, and a strong interest in computer science began to well up within her.
However, when she had a deeper conversation with Ye Wentao, she was surprised to learn that the mathematics department also has broad application prospects in the future.
Therefore, Zhao Zhaodi decided to ask Ye Wentao for help, requesting that he borrow some relevant books from his classmates in the mathematics department.
After some reading and reflection, Zhao Zhaodi was pleasantly surprised to find that she was actually more interested in mathematics.
Therefore, she resolutely decided to transfer to the mathematics department in her second year of university.
At this moment, Ye Wentao reminded him:
"Zhao Zhaodi, if you want to successfully transfer to the mathematics department in your second year, you must complete all the first-year mathematics courses during this winter break and next semester. Otherwise, you may have to repeat a year."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhaodi nodded without hesitation:
"Okay, I'll go borrow books from my classmates right away. There's still plenty of time during winter break, plus the time after school starts, that should be enough for me to catch up on these courses!"
"Our Computer Science and Mathematics departments share some common general education courses, but there are some differences in our specialized courses! But that's okay, don't worry about borrowing books, just leave it to me!"
Ye Wentao patted his chest confidently and volunteered.
"Thank you so much, Ye Wentao!"
Zhao Zhaodi smiled sweetly as she spoke.
The next morning, sunlight shone through the thin clouds and fell softly on the earth.
Ye Wentao got up early, ate breakfast, neatly placed a thick stack of books on the back of his bicycle, then straddled the seat, pedaled hard, and sped off toward Zhao Zhaodi's house.
Before long, Ye Wentao arrived at Zhao Zhaodi's house.
He lightly jumped off his bicycle, parked it steadily, walked quickly to the gate, raised his hand, and gently knocked on the gate.
