Shi Lei finished drinking the delicious soup while standing in the middle of a small pathway in the school. But Sun Yiyi didn’t seem to be too happy but rather she seemed as she was wronged, and left Wu Dong university with the thermal container.
Sun Yiyi was someone who sticks to her words and she was the real man amongst all the girls. The second day, she came back with another container of soup.
When Shi Lei was drinking the soup, Sun Yiyi took the chance and took the piece of paper again and shoved it into Shi Lei’s pockets.
Although Shi Lei didn’t think that he was a gentleman, but he definitely was not someone who took advantage of others of their difficulties. Plus, what generation is it already, slavery agreement? It sounded like the remaining dregs from the old and conservative society. As a university student of the new generation, Shi Lei naturally tried to prevent Sun Yiyi’s plot righteously.
But after the third time Shi Lei rejected Sun Yiyi’s Agreement, Sun Yiyi cried. In the quiet campus, it attracted many people’s attention instantly and Shi Lei didn"t know what to do.
“Yiyi, stop crying. You were fine before, why are you crying again? Your soup is tasty, and I didn’t say it’s not nice. Plus, I finished drinking it every single time. Although I did say you shouldn’t come tomorrow, but that’s only because I think your Mum needs your care and attention right now and you shouldn’t be wasting your time here.” Shi Lei was clumsy, but he was also bad at words.
Sun Yiyi’s eyes were red from crying and Shi Lei just realised that this girl probably cried a lot these two days.
He suddenly thought that he might’ve missed something. Don’t tell me Sun Yiyi’s mother’s sickness was unstable? He asked in a hurry: “Yiyi, is it that aunt’s surgery wasn’t too successful? It’s ok, if it didn’t work this time, we can do it again. Don’t worry about money, I’ll think of something!”
After hearing this, Sun Yiyi cried even more and Shi Lei became more panicked and bewildered.
Quite a few students had already moved silently towards him. Although their steps were slow, but obviously if they found out that Shi Lei was a pervert teasing a girl, they would punch him mercilessly. The interactions between them in the student era was this straightforward and violent.
“Yiyi, stop crying. At least, you need to tell me what happened?” Sun Yiyi raised her head. She felt wronged and glared at Shi Lei furiously. She opened her mouth a few times but only sobs came out and she couldn’t speak in full sentences. She really felt wronged.
As a girl, she didn’t even know how many times she wrote that Agreement to perfect it. She thought that Shi Lei would accept it pleasantly, but she never thought that Shi Lei would repeatedly reject her.
Sun Yiyi was a rather simple minded girl. If she could think of something like the Agreement, she wouldn’t think that there was anything wrong with it so she was incapable of understand Shi Lei’s action of rejecting her.
From her point of view, there was only one reason of why Shi Lei rejected her and that was because he thinks that she’s a bad girl. After all, she did think of getting the money for her mother’s medical fees through satisfying Wu Haoyuan.
In the past two days, Sun Yiyi finally thought about it clearly. The thing with Wu Haoyuan, on the surface, it was to be his girlfriend, but in reality, she would have sold herself for a few thousand of surgery fees. Using a trendy word, it would be ‘sugar daddy’. Sun Yiyi felt extremely regretful. Although there was nothing she could do, and indeed, she didn’t think too clearly about it before as she thought that agreeing to be Wu Haoyuan’s girlfriend wasn’t too bad and did not overthink it, but if she really took Wu Haoyuan’s money, the result would be the same.
So, Sun Yiyi felt like Shi Lei definitely looked down on her and hence, he would not accept her Agreement.
But it just happened that Sun Yiyi wrote that Agreement after mustering up her courage multiple times and was full of determination to do it, it was only natural for her to feel wronged.
Sun Yiyi screamed internally: s.h.i.tou ge, I’m not the shameless type of girl, why are you looking down on me? Are you starting to dislike me?
If she said that aloud, the misunderstanding would be solved. But the action of pa.s.sing the Agreement to Shi Lei used up all her courage and it was impossible for her to express what she wanted to say.
“Hey, is he teasing you?” A boy few meters away from them crossed his arms and asked her.
Sun Yiyi didn’t think that someone would talk to him as she continued to sob. But Shi Lei jumped and quickly said: “No, no, don’t misunderstand. We are a couple. I don’t know why she suddenly started crying and she won’t tell me even if I asked……”
“Hmm, I’m afraid it’s because you are taking advantage of her, right? Which faculty are you from? How do we have students like this in our school?!” That person talked again and the glance he casted towards Shi Lei was rather unkind. The two people next to him also took a step forward, as if wanting to pressure Shi Lei.
Shi Lei touched his forehead speechlessly, thinking, how come so many people like to play the game of saving the beauty nowadays?
“Yiyi, can you please them that I’m not bullying you?” Shi Lei asked Sun Yiyi helplessly. Sun Yiyi raised her head and looked at the three boys. She wanted to open her mouth to explain for Shi Lei, but she couldn’t even say a word as she struggled to breathe from her constant sobs.
“Stop pretending. Obviously, you are bullying her……”
The three of them gradually surrounded them but a loud yell sounded from far away: “s.h.i.tou…….” Then, they turned their heads around as the floor seemed to be shaking. A fatty about 100kg was sprinting towards them and he was rather fast, which was not in ratio to his body.
In an instant, Zhang Mo appeared in front of Shi Lei. He glanced at those three and swore with squinted eyes: “Xiao Si, what are you doing here? Hurry and up and f.u.c.k off! You are jigging school again!”
Shi Lei was relieved as it seemed like Zhang Mo knew about those three. Although he still didn"t know why Sun Yiyi was crying, but at least nothing bad will happen.
One of the three’s face turned red and said to Zhang Mo: “He’s bullying a female student, we are……”
Zhang raised his palm, which was like a meatball, and slapped his head: “Are you planning to save the beauty? Go back and save your sister, yeah? I’ll say it one more time, f.u.c.k off, don’t wait for me to slap you! This is my bro!”
That person shrank his neck and back off while mumbling: “You already slapped……” As he saw Zhang Mo glaring at him, he turned around and ran off. The other two saw that the situation was bad and also chased after him.
Zhang Mo finally turned around to Shi Lei and said: “What’s the situation? How did you make this beauty cry?” Shi Lei could almost imagine what kind of things this fatty was thinking about from his teasing tone. Zhang Mo probably thought that he ditched this girl because he was a fuerdai.
“She was my neighbour before, we grew up together and we were chatting. I don’t know why but she suddenly started crying…… Yiyi, why are you crying? You need to explain. Look, even my friend thinks I’m a pervert.”
Sun Yiyi was embarra.s.sed and was in panic. She couldn’t even say what she wanted to Shi Lei before, how could she say it now that there’s another stranger here?
She couldn’t care about anything else. Sun Yiyi shoved the Agreement in Shi Lei’s hands with all her might and ran off.
Shi Lei did not expect this. He held the paper and stared in shock as Sun Yiyi disappeared from his view. He wanted to chase after her but Zhang Mo wrapped his arms around his neck and teased: “Explain, what’s up? Who is that girl? She’s really pretty. Shi Lei, aren’t you hiding a bit too much? Since when did you have such a pretty fiancé? How could you not tell us? That beauty just gave you a paper slip, that’s pretty cla.s.sic aye, love letter?”
“f.u.c.k off!” Shi Lei kicked and sent the fatty flying through the air. Although he didn’t have any temper against Sun Yiyi, but it didn’t mean that he wouldn’t have any towards Zhang Mo.
