Anyway, use whatever means you have, if they really want to persuade you to drop out, there’s nothing you can do.
Other majors would only be harder for him. For example, the computer science major he might be best at would involve discrete mathematics, probability theory, data structures, and so on, things that give him a headache just by looking at them.
Marketing doesn’t have those things, it’s a social science with more things to memorize.
If there’s a difficulty, it’s only some advanced mathematics that’s a bit of a hassle; even if there are mathematical parts, they’re relatively simple.
In any case, his expectation for attending university has been met; the rest is just trying his best to scrape by.
If he can’t scrape by, he’s also prepared an excuse, definitely won’t exit embarrassingly.
The only one who can embarrass him now is Xue Ning.
Speak of the devil.
Just as he lay in bed, Xue Ning sent him a message.
"Going home tomorrow..."
"Then shouldn’t you sleep well? What are you waiting for?"
"Waiting for a man."
"I’m in the dorm at school, the dorm is already closed, not allowed to go out."
"Haha, I’ve already inquired, the dorms don’t close in the first few days of school, there are students checking in even in the middle of the night."
"So..."
"So I had a bit to drink..."
Then Li Yang got out of bed and quickly left the dorm.
About half an hour later, he arrived at Xue Ning’s place.
When he entered Xue Ning’s room, he sniffed carefully, "You didn’t drink."
But Xue Ning was already clinging to him, saying, "When you’re here, I have a drink."
...
Anyway, Li Yang was woken up by a knocking sound the next day.
Xue Ning hurriedly came over and said, "Quick, get up... Come eat breakfast with us."
Li Yang’s drowsiness vanished instantly, and he quickly washed up.
When he came out, Li Likun and Wang Cuiping were quite surprised.
Xue Ning explained, "Yangyang came over early in the morning, saying he couldn’t sleep at the dorm, was bored, and wanted to have breakfast with us."
The excuse wasn’t perfect, but it worked well enough.
No one asked anything else.
Jiang Banxia also came quickly, had breakfast, and after sending everyone to the cars, he returned to school with Jiang Banxia.
There was no need to go to the West Station, they weren’t just one person, but six people.
Jiang Banxia noticed Li Yang wasn’t in a good mental state and said, "Is it uncomfortable living in the dorm? I asked around, 45A is a building from many years ago, and it has never been renovated. Although mine is also old, it has at least been repaired a bit..."
"Yeah, it’s not even as good as a high school dorm. But it’s just a dorm, doesn’t matter, as long as the living atmosphere is good."
Jiang Banxia said, "Does Master Li feel the atmosphere is good? I feel a bit tired, dealing with people seems really hard."
"Hmm? Did you encounter something?"
"Not really, but it feels like everyone is wearing a mask... I have to ponder for a long time before speaking, just afraid of issues arising. After all, life isn’t like data; mistakes can be corrected, losses can be made up later."
"You don’t need to worry too much about what others think, do what you should do, say what you need to say. We’re young anyway, what’s wrong with being a bit reckless? Being young and reckless isn’t a crime. Can what we say really break the law?"
"Hmm?"
"As long as it’s not illegal, you’re already a noble person; you don’t need to care so much about other things. Pleasing others may not even benefit us; we’re not dealing with leaders, we’re just students, just do what makes us happy..."
Li Yang walked past his dorm but didn’t go in, instead continued to walk a bit further with Jiang Banxia.
"Master Li, actually I have a thought..."
"Don’t think about anything, just do what you should do. What are others compared to us, anyway, if we’re not picky, even scallion can be eaten in one bite."
Li Yang knew Jiang Banxia probably was under some pressure.
After all, Liu Yuheng and those guys are always playing double acts in the group chat.
Jiang Banxia can analyze the stock market, so he can definitely see through those guys’ little tricks, right?
In the group, in the dorm, in the class, or even the whole school, one needs a strong social persona to adapt.
Jiang Banxia just broke through himself, and is still in the learning phase regarding how to interact with people.
"You’ve reached your dorm, better go back."
"Okay, sure."
When Jiang Banxia was leaving, he wrinkled his nose.
When Li Yang got back to his dorm, He Lewei was still in bed, while Chen Weixing and Tan Kai were already up.
There was quite a bit of work today, but all in the afternoon.
Li Yang opened the cabinet, grabbed the car keys and address, and took a cab to the community where the car was parked.
A community from ten years ago, compared to now, it indeed seemed a bit lacking in aesthetics, and the overall planning wasn’t that great.
But it still had elevators and an underground garage.
Li Yang went to the garage and saw a car covered with a car cover; lifting the cover, the glaring yellow came into view.
This was absolutely his dream car; meeting it roadside in a previous life, he would have approached to take a photo.
Opening the car door, getting in and experiencing it for a bit.
The seating was so-so, but the other buffs at this moment were fully stacked.
All said and done, likely a car costing nearly ten million, definitely not within his consideration this lifetime.
Sitting in the car, he messaged He Lewei, then said in the group chat, "Dropped my parents at the West Station, but can’t find a cab here, such a pain!"
He complained a bit.
After a while, He Lewei said, "Where are you? I’ll send a driver to pick you up."
