"Fourth, wake up!"

"Old four! Old four!"

"Fourth, wake up quickly, you're going to be late!"

"Old four? Wake up, don't sleep!"

In a daze, Lu Yi was shaken awake and a sound penetrated his ears.

My head hurts so much, who's calling me?

Lu Yi opened his eyes in a daze, the first love of the school flower in his eyes It was a boy's face and he blurted out, "Big Liu?!"

Liu Hong frowned and said, "Fourth, have you been working hard all night on your thesis? Are you feeling overwhelmed?"

The line of sight is completely clear.

Looking at the young face in front of him, Lu Yi was startled and suddenly stood up, but immediately his legs softened and he fell down.

Liu Hong quickly held onto Lu Yi and said, "My legs are numb!"

Lu Yi nodded and then showed an incredible excitement: "Da Liu, is it really you?"

Lu Yi couldn't believe it.

Liu Hong, his college classmate and roommate.

What's going on?

Didn't I stay up late at the company programming last night?

How could Big Liu appear in front of him, and he still looks so young.

Wait!

This is

Two iron beds with upper and lower bunks, and two tables pieced together in the middle aisle

Not a company!

This is the dormitory!

University dormitory!

Lu Yi showed a deep look of shock.

"Yes, it's me, Big Liu, Liu Hong!"

"Fourth, what's wrong with you?"

"Did you really rush all night to finish your paper, feeling overwhelmed?"

Liu Hong frowned and looked at Lu Yi, lost in thought.

What's wrong with Lu Yi?

How did you see yourself so surprised?

Lu Yi's mind crashed for a moment just now, and a guess faintly appeared in his heart.

"Da Liu, what year is it today?" Lu Yi asked with trembling lips.

Liu Hong touched Lu Yi's forehead and said, "I don't have a fever! It seems you're really asleep. Today is February 9th, 2003, the first day of school!"

Lu Yi ignored Liu Hong's last sentence directly, his eyes slightly lost, and he murmured, "February 9th, 2003... February 9th, 2003..."

"Alright, stop nagging and go wash up quickly."

"Professor Hu checked the progress of our paper today and requested to be present at 8:30. It's already 8:10 now, if we don't hurry up, we'll be late."

"You are aware of Professor Hu's temper, and he will be easily scolded."

Liu Hong urged him to put toothpaste, toothbrush, and soap into the basin, then stuffed the basin into Lu Yi's hand and pushed him out of the bedroom door.

Lu Yi held the basin and instinctively headed towards the restroom.

"Fourth, hurry up, we're going to be late."

"Fourth, here, warm up the kettle!"

Corridor.

Encountering Zhang Hai, the second dormitory member who had already been washed up, and Han Feng, the third dormitory member, they looked at Lu Yi, who was lost in thought, and urged him.

The two of them returned to the dormitory.

"Boss, why do I think there's something wrong with Fourth Brother?" Zhang Hai said.

Just now in the hallway, he saw that Lu Yi was a bit restless, still muttering words, but he didn't respond to him or Han Feng.

Liu Hong said, "I think his mind is a bit confused, after all, he had to finish his paper all night last night."

Zhang Hai nodded and said, "The fourth student was also caught off guard by Professor Hu. Who would have thought that on the first day of school, we would have to check the progress of our paper. The fourth student had a winter break and had to work overtime last night to catch up."

Han Feng interjected and said, "Hey, it's easy to talk about the paper, but the work..."

Both Liu Hong and Zhang Hai understood the following words, so their expressions suddenly became heavy.

A year ago, the foam was punctured, and the Internet entered the cold winter, and countless Internet companies went bankrupt every day.

And what they happen to learn is computer science.

When I first entered the university, I was excited to look forward to entering the Internet factory after graduation, earning thousands of yuan, and becoming a highly paid coder envied by other industries.

But reality dealt them a heavy blow.

A large number of Internet companies went bankrupt, making the number of unemployed farmers in the market numerous and frantically competing for jobs with their graduates.

So much so that they, who were supposed to have found satisfactory jobs during the autumn recruitment last year, have now been ignored.

Worry!

They were supposed to be in high demand, but now they are doing well and have become a neglected nest.

"If I had known it would be like this, I shouldn't have applied for computer science back then," Zhang Hai sighed.

Liu Hong nodded: "Yes. In 1998, the computer profession was very popular. At that time, the salary of other industries was only more than 1000, and code farmers could get 3000 or 4000, and there were still no people to recruit. It was because I was optimistic about this industry that I applied for the computer. What's more, we haven't graduated yet. The Internet winter is coming, who can argue with!"

Han Feng said with a wry smile, "The cold winter of the Internet is over. Now, those farmers who graduated first have to compete with us. It's not bullying. We have no work experience, how can we compete with these experienced seniors!"

Zhang Hai let out a long sigh and said, "Life is out of time!"

In February, the temperature in Sucheng was only five or six degrees, very cold.

Everyone else received cold water and poured hot water into the basin.

Lu Yi turned on the faucet directly, and cold water hit his face. The piercing cold calmed him a little.

"Lu Yi, I still have hot water in my thermos."

A boy in the same class next to him saw Lu Yi washing his face with cold water and pushed the thermos over directly.

Lu Yidao said, "Thank you, no need. I stayed up late last night to finish my paper, and my mind was a bit confused. I need to use cold water to stimulate my consciousness."

"Professor Hu came up with such a trick, and I don't know how many people in our class stayed up late like you last night to finish their papers. Alright, I'll wash it up and withdraw first," the boy smiled and left the restroom with a basin in his hand.
