Chapter 297 Class Reunion
Seeing seven people suddenly gathered in the courtyard, each one young, handsome, and beautiful, Shen Li couldn't help but tease, "Goodness, this courtyard full of good-looking men and women is dazzling!"
Yan Xiangcheng looked at Ming Xiangyang beside him: "Shen Li praised you for being good-looking."
Xia Jiang: "Shen Li is complimenting us on how good-looking we are."
Yan Xiangcheng: A guy with no sense of propriety.
Lan smiled and teased back, "No matter how handsome or beautiful someone is, they can't compare to how dazzling you are."
Yao Fen, with her cheerful personality, rolled up her sleeves and headed to the kitchen: "Let's stop standing around talking, let's cook for ourselves!"
Everyone agreed and joined in the effort.
There weren't many people in Shen Li's courtyard, so everyone was happy to lend a hand in such a lively setting.
Xie Mei stood in the courtyard, looking at the trees covered in snow, with icicles still hanging from the branches, glistening in the sunlight. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Shen Li, your courtyard is so beautiful! I can't even imagine how happy you must be to live in a place like this."
"You'll definitely be able to live in a better place in the future," Shen Li said with a smile. "Now everyone's into apartment buildings. You might even be able to live in a big, single-level apartment someday, which will be more comfortable than my courtyard house."
Xie Mei sighed softly: "Buying a house? That'll be a long time coming."
"Work hard, you'll definitely have opportunities," Shen Li encouraged. "You're all chemistry majors, your future is bright."
Xie Mei's eyes lit up, and she moved closer to her, smiling, "Then I'll have to stick close to you, borrow your light, and let your light shine on me too."
"No problem," Shen Li replied with a smile.
She has always gotten along well with Xie Mei, and Xie Mei's professional achievements are considered excellent in the field. In the future, when she wants to establish her own beauty brand, Xie Mei is definitely a talent worth recruiting.
The snow stopped today, the sun was shining brightly, and the young people in the courtyard were chatting and laughing, exuding a vibrant energy.
Grandma Shen and Grandpa Yu stood at the archway in front, looking at the lively scene in the courtyard, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's so good to be young."
Grandpa Yu chimed in, "We were young once too. Every age has its advantages. We don't have to worry about this or that now, but they still have to work hard."
Grandma Shen smiled: "That's right."
Most of the people present were young people in their early twenties. Shen Li had someone boil some hot beer, and everyone drank a little to warm up and add to the atmosphere.
Lu Zhou and Lu Nan were also at home on the weekend, so they naturally joined in the fun.
Shen Li looked at the group of people in front of her, her heart filled with warmth.
Among these people, they were either top students from Peking University or Huazhong University of Science and Technology, while Yan Xiangcheng was the only one who graduated from an ordinary university.
But what does it matter?
The most important thing is that everyone gets along well and understands each other.
In a place like Beijing, it is especially rare to have such a group of friends who can get together often.
Shen Li cherished this friendship, and at the same time, it also reflected the boss's appreciation for talent—these young people were all promising prospects.
They all wanted to recruit them into their companies.
It sounds great!
Hahaha.......
Of course, no one knew what Shen Li was thinking.
Several familiar people sat together, their laughter filling the air.
The chill of winter was completely dispelled by this lively atmosphere, and even the air was filled with a warm and cozy feeling.
Shen Li was pregnant, so she naturally didn't drink alcohol. In front of her was only a glass of freshly squeezed juice with a faint fruity aroma.
Looking at the lively scene before her, a gentle smile played on her lips as she called out, "Xiao Nan, is my Polaroid camera with you?"
"I'm here!" Xiao Nan replied readily. "Wait here, I'll go get it right away, and bring some more negatives too!" With that, she turned and quickly left.
Xie Mei curiously peeked out: "What's a Polaroid camera?"
Shen Li patiently explained, "It's a type of camera that lets you get the photo immediately after pressing the shutter, without having to wait for it to be developed."
"Is it that amazing?" Yao Fen's eyes lit up.
"It was sent back from abroad by my friend," Shen Li added.
Lan Wei exclaimed with envy, "Wow, Li Li, you even have friends from overseas! That's so great!"
Shen Li smiled and looked at everyone: "Everyone is so happy today, I'll take some photos of you with a Polaroid camera later to keep as a memento."
Xia Jiang nodded repeatedly, his tone full of anticipation: "Great! It will definitely feel special to look back on this in ten or twenty years."
Zhang Wei chimed in, "Of course!"
Shen Li is reborn into a new life, and she loves taking photos even more than in her previous life.
In her previous life, she didn't even have any photos of herself before she turned twenty; all the images stored in her QQ space were from when she turned twenty.
When she was little, her skin was yellowish and she always felt that she didn't look good in photos, so she never wanted to have her picture taken.
But later I realized that without photos to carry the memories, many details would slowly fade, as if they had never really existed.
So in this life, she always likes to take pictures of things casually.
Not for anyone else to see, but simply to preserve every moment I've lived through.
Thirty or forty years from now, when we look at these photos, we can still clearly recall the scene and remember that we were once so young.
Not long after, Xiao Nan returned with a Polaroid camera and a stack of film.
She raised her camera and waved it, laughing as she said, "Everyone, just relax and don't worry about me. I'll take the photos! Sister Li said that candid shots are the most natural and the best-looking."
Lan Wei asked blankly, "What's a candid shot?"
Shen Li waved her hand: "Don't worry about her, just do what we need to do."
"Oh, I see!" Lan Wei nodded, seemingly understanding.
As they were talking, Yan Xiangcheng walked over with freshly grilled lamb skewers, the aroma instantly filling the air. "Here, try these. I specially prepared them; there's no gamey smell at all." His tone carried a hint of barely perceptible anticipation.
Lan Wei was the first to take a skewer, brought it close to her nose, and her eyes instantly lit up: "It really doesn't have a gamey smell! It smells so good!"
Yan Xiangcheng curled his lips into a smile, his eyes sparkling with amusement: "Right? Try it."
"Click—"
The crisp sound of a camera shutter rang out, and everyone instinctively looked towards Lu Nan.
She was looking down at the photos she had just spat out, her fingertips lightly brushing across the surface of the photographic paper.
A short while later, the image in the photo gradually became clearer. Yao Fen curiously leaned forward and whispered, "It's already typed out? That's incredibly fast!"
Lu Nan nodded and handed over the photo: "Yes, look."
Yao Fen took it and immediately exclaimed with a smile, "Wow, Weiwei, look at your smile, it's so sweet!"
Lan Wei quickly stood up and leaned closer: "Really? Let me see!"
"Look for yourself." Yao Fen handed the photo to her.
