Chapter 4: The Revolution is Inviting Guests to Dinner Part 1

After two more days, school was about to begin choosing cla.s.ses. Even though this break was so long, from June to August, when I saw it was about to end, I felt very reluctant. After I finished purchasing some household items with my dormmates, I decided to eat and drink well to celebrate marrying into a wealthy family [1]. But when the time came, my dormmates’ parents still hadn’t left. I was embarra.s.sed to drag people around to eat with me. The more important part was that I hadn’t seen Xiao Xi for two days. How could I create an opportunity for me and Xiao Xi to eat together? Inviting him alone would definitely show that I was immodest. I calculated with the abacus in my heart, grabbed the opportunity, and I found the name of the person I dubbed the “Cruel Killer”. On the other end, some very beautiful music drifted over. That really made one forget oneself due to its extravagance. Paying money for such a beautiful ringtone for someone to enjoy. That song played to halfway, and Fang Yu Ke still hadn’t answered the phone. I hung up and could only lie on the bed for an afternoon nap, with nothing else to do.

I didn’t know how long I had slept when I was suddenly woken up by hunger. I grabbed my cell phone to see the time, and saw that four calls from the “Cold Killer” had been unanswered. I just thought of calling him back, when my phone rang. I glanced at the name, and it was still “Cold Killer”. I answered it: “h.e.l.lo? What is the matter that you are so anxious to get ahold of me?” The other side was silent for a while: “Are you a pig? I called you so many times, you didn’t even hear it!” I felt a little confused: “What? I was just sleeping? If you have things to say, quickly say them. If you need to fart, quickly fart. I still need to go to the bathroom.”

“What’s the matter? Isn’t it you who called me? Idiot.”

I paused, recalling what I had done before going to sleep that I had actually called this person. The person at the other end was impatient: “I can’t stand you anymore. I’m hanging up.”

“Wait, I thought of it, I thought of it. I want to bring you out for a meal.”

There was a moment of silence. I thought the signal wasn’t good. “h.e.l.lo, can you hear me? I said I want to treat you for a meal. Give me some face big senior brother~”

“Where are we going to eat?”

F**k, I had invited him out for dinner, but his att.i.tude was still just as cold. “The place is hard to find. We haven’t been here for a few days, and I’m not familiar with the area. What about this, you can ask Xiao Xi to come along too. I also have to thank him for his help these past few days. Incidentally, we can also let him be a guide for us and introduce a place to eat.” I held the cell phone with one hand, regretfully unable to make some applause for myself with the other hand. My IQ was definitely over 150. How could I be so smart? These words were much more reasonable and full of restraint! The other end paused for again, and said: “I will do my best.” He didn’t wait for me to speak when he hung up the phone. You brat. If you have to save energy for the power bill, then don’t keep pausing when you speak. Really! But when I thought of eating dinner with Xiao Xi I made a triumphant gesture: Oh yeah! After I finished speaking, I looked even more silly as I had a lion’s head, going to the bathroom to wash my face.

Very early in the morning of the next day, I received a short text from Fang Yu Ke, it was so thick (to the point), that it couldn’t have been thicker: Guolin Restaurant, 7:00 pm, meet at the entrance. F**k, sending a telegram, and he was even personal messaging me! I replied: Ok, is he going? I waited for n minutes. The brat didn’t even reply to me again. I estimated he had begun his love affair with his girlfriend.

I hadn’t seen Xiao Xi in the previous days. My heart was about to pop out of its chest. Now we were finally about to meet, and I was a little fl.u.s.tered. Oh, unless liking a person was always like this? Worried, uneasy? I turned my head towards the window, and thought about what Xiao Xi was doing now? Maybe he was sleeping? No, he probably wasn’t able to sleep as well as I could; reading? Probably. What book? Comic books? No, that was what I read. Textbook? No, too boring. He was definitely reading a very deep book, completely English- the mysteries of the universe or the a.n.a.lysis of global financial trends. Where he was not satisfied with the author’s explanation, he would definitely use a pencil to write his own point of view. As for where the author’s point of view was especially brilliant, he would would definitely draw a large wavy line. Mm, right, he would use a clean slender finger, to flip the page, one by one. Then, he would immerse himself completely in the book.

“What are you thinking about? That beautiful?” w.a.n.g Jie’s beautiful legs stepped over and broke my line of thinking. Everyone was a young person. Not after too long, did we mix together like a family. I laughed: “I’m thinking of my husband.”

“Oh, what family’s Gong Zi is it? Introduce him, introduce him.” w.a.n.g Jie’s gossip ears had already perked up.

“The secret cannot be revealed.” I laughed. “I should still wait until we get to the husband stage, if there is an opportunity, I’ll introduce him to you.”

“Are you guys being warm or is it your one-sided thoughts. Seeing you laughing like □□, I’m guessing it’s your own thoughts.”

“Hey, what are you saying? Why is it that it’s one sided thinkings just because I laugh like □□? How do you smile mysteriously?”

“You won’t understand this. This mysterious smile is absolutely shy, you have to look soft yet deep and far. I’ll perform it for you.” When she finished, w.a.n.g Jie pretended to be a wise and virtuous woman.

I laughed, “You are acting Lin Dai Yu.”

“It’s just like your female beauty exceeds that of the whole world. Just now, I saw you looking like your saliva was about to fall onto the ground.” w.a.n.g Jie laughed.

“Oh, you really have portrayed it accurately. I really am having a crush. The other person doesn’t know my thoughts. Look at you and your boyfriend, calling each other until a coc.o.o.n could form in your ear. Aren’t I helping you spread the phone call weight around? Maybe not after too long, this dormitory’s calls will come to me.”

“Can you laugh a little more unrestrained?” w.a.n.g Jie pushed me, “Look at yourself, you’ve fallen in love for the first time right?”

“Expert, a definite expert. How did you know?”

“When I was dating, you were still behind me. Alas, love is a little complicated. If it doesn’t play out correctly, it can range from a sad heart to heavy self-mutilation.”

“Pooey, pooey. How can it not work out?! Even if it doesn’t work out it has to! My mom said, my first mission is to find a boyfriend in this place. How can I live up to my mother’s beautiful expectations?”[1] celebrating marrying into a wealthy family: To Lin Lin this refers to getting into the highly prestigious university, Peking University. Thus, she is celebrating her union with Peking University as she officially becomes a student at one of the “richest” academic atmospheres of all time.
