Su Di was stunned by Liu Manman"s refusal and looked a little guilty.Liu Manman frowned at him, "Su Di, I"ve been paying your tuition all these years. If you need money, I will give it to you. Why did you get me this? I have already told you that even if you are poor, you must have higher aspirations. I can"t accept this necklace. If you borrowed the money, then give it back to your cla.s.smates! If it is stolen… I will come with you to the police station and explain everything clearly."
When Su Di heard this, he understood she was worried about the source of the necklace.
Relieved, he suddenly stepped forward and hugged her.
"You misunderstood me. I took a part-time job especially to buy you your birthday present. It"s my fault; I wanted it to be a surprise, so I didn"t tell you about it. Think about it. I haven"t been avoiding you lately, it"s because I"ve been working. Besides, the real reason I was late tonight is because I just got my last paycheck, not because I went to evening cla.s.ses."
Liu Manman looked up at Su Di and said in a quaking voice, "Is that true?"
"Absolutely!" Su Di solemnly said.
Liu Manman couldn"t hold back anymore as tears welled up in her eyes. She threw herself at Su Di, crying loudly.
Clap-clap-clap!
Witnessing this brief drama play out, the other girls were moved to tears as well and began softly applauding.
Especially Mu Cheng, Chu Mo and Murong.
Those three were hooked on Korean dramas, but never thought they"d get to witness a story like that play out right in front of them. They were even a bit jealous - why couldn"t they find a good man like that…?
Only Ye Fei was still sitting in the corner with his eyes half-closed, not drawing any attention from anyone.
When he saw Liu Manman crying on Su Di"s chest, he finally stood up and headed for the door.
Earlier, Ye Fei had run out with that ugly girl, leaving Lin Qingwan alone in the cafeteria, and Lin Qingwan was still a little angsty about it. She ignored him the whole evening, but now, when everyone was so moved and excited, Ye Fei was ruining the charm of the scene by walking out.
She grabbed his shoulder. "Ye Fei, where are you going?"
He glanced at her. "To the toilet."
"Why are you so standoffish?" she berated him, "Don"t you see everyone is happy for Manman? How can you do this?"
Ye Fei frowned and glanced at the women behind him. Their expressions told him that even Chu Mo and Murong felt he was a being little inconsiderate.
He sighed helplessly, "I don"t want to ruin your cutesy moment, so I have to go."
Ye Fei"s words confused the women, who looked at each other questioningly. That made no sense. Was he drunk?
Because of the commotion at the door, Su Di turned around and saw Ye Fei.
As soon as he saw his face, Su Di started quickly backing away until he was firmly pressed against the wall, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
Ye Fei smiled bitterly. As soon as Su Di entered the room, he recognized this so-called student as the young man he met in front of the toilet.
Su Di wore the gaudy clothes and flirted with the older women, and he was very arrogant, almost burning Ye Fei"s trousers with his cigarette b.u.t.t.
Ye Fei wasn"t expecting to see him again after just half an hour, wearing the guise of a completely different person.
At the moment, Su Di really looked like a college student.
If not for Ye Fei"s sharp eyes quickly catching Su Di"s unnatural expression, even he would have wondered whether the two were just twins or doppelgangers. However, seeing Su Di"s pale face, Ye Fei knew he was right.
Su Di was that young man in the corridor.
Ye Fei had even seen the aquamarine necklace on the neck of one of the middle-aged women.
Now he was absolutely sure: Su Di was sc.u.m.
At first, Ye Fei wasn"t going to call out Su Di for who he really was. He just wanted to sneak out and stay out of it.
After all, he had nothing to do with Liu Manman.
Even now, Ye Fei didn"t want to call him out. After Liu Manman told him about her life, he felt some compa.s.sion for her and didn"t want to tear apart her love dream.
But... everyone had to wake up sometime.
"Oh well, guess I"ll have to be the bad guy…"
Ye Fei strode across the room and put his hand on Su Di"s shoulder, pinning him to the wall.
"You..." Su Di had never antic.i.p.ated this turn of bad luck. One of Liu Manman"s friends actually saw him flirting with a bunch of other chicks! He was utterly busted.
He guiltily lowered his head and didn"t dare to say a word, just waiting for the first opportunity to get the h.e.l.l out of there.
Liu Manman started screaming, "Ye Fei, what are you doing?! Why are you hitting my boyfriend?! Are you drunk?"
Ye Fei looked over his shoulder at Liu Manman and coldly said, "Who is your boyfriend?"
"Of course it is Su..." she blurted out, but suddenly remembered she had offered Ye Fei to be her boyfriend after the call from Fire Dragon. But she never thought Ye Fei would actually make her own up to it!
"Say it. Who is your boyfriend?" Ye Fei said in a louder, rougher voice.
Liu Manman was silent for a while. She looked apologetically at Su Di, not knowing what to say.
Su Di was confused. Was this man Liu Manman"s boyfriend too? Was she dating two men at the same time?
Su Di wanted to argue with him, but Ye Fei suddenly grabbed his collar and snarled, "Boy, I am her boyfriend. My name is Ye Fei. If you are smart, you"ll stay away from Manman, or... I will kill you."
