“Haoyuan, where did you go? How come you were gone for so long and didn’t pick up my phone? Did you pick up some girl again? Which bar?”
As soon as Wu Haoyuan walked into the room, a man who had ordinary looks but dressed luxuriously and acted frivolously, put his arm around Wu Haoyuan’s shoulders and made a big fuss.
“Nothing, just b.u.mped into an acquaintance and drank a few cups together. It was noisy so I didn’t hear your call.” Wu Haoyuan had told these people about Sun Yiyi before. He showed off to them that he got her, but in the end, Sun Yiyi ditched him. Obviously, Wu Haoyuan won’t accept this, so he told his friends that he was bored with her and threw her away.
Things like this weren’t rare in their circle and no one really cared. But did Wu Haoyuan really have to tell them that he didn’t even touch Sun Yiyi’s hands and was ditched?
That person didn’t think that Wu Haoyuan was lying. Seeing that his face was stern, he said:
“Don’t tell me you b.u.mped into that girl you saw your father with? You look like your father just got you a stepmother, and you f.u.c.ked with that girl?”
Everyone in the room laughed teasingly. Wu Haoyuan threw a kick and swore loudly: “You are the one who f.u.c.ked with your father’s mistress!”
“Well, it’s unavoidable if I’m always doing this sort of thing. Hahaha, dude, I really had this girl who hooked up with my Dad. I straight up introduced her to my Dad and which position she was the best at……”
Everyone laughed impudently. Even Wu Haoyuan, who had a stern face, couldn’t help it but to raise his gla.s.s at him: “You win!”
“Of course! Cheers!”
After a while, Wu Haoyuan used headache as a reason and left first. Before he left, he purposely went to the bar Shi Lei was at and saw that they were drinking the soup Sun Yiyi brought. He swore and left furiously.
When Wu Haoyuan was in front of his house, he still felt that he couldn’t contain his anger, he called a girl and asked her to come to the hotel. He was so harsh with her that the girl rolled her eyes and asked if he took pills or not, which made Wu Haoyuan rage even more and slapped her. Hearing the girl call him ‘crazy’ gave him another sort of pleasure and he finally ended the night from the girl’s initial swearing to begging.
He left 20,000 yuan with the girl for her to go to the hospital, but when he left the hotel, he was still angry.
He called a friend who was part of the student council and he was addressed as Bao Dating by the students, who was a great helper to Wo Haoyuan.
They found a restaurant for supper and Wu Haoyuan asked: “Our department, in the same year as us, there’s a fatty, the really fat one, local student, do you have any impressions on him?”
Bao Dating had a small and sharp face which made him look cunning, he rolled his small eyes and remember a person, then asked: “Are you talking about Zhang Mo? Tall, but fat, but not too bloated and looks agile?”
Wu Haoyuan nodded and said: “I think so, and there are two idiots who look r.e.t.a.r.ded in his dorm, and another one who’s not that tall but looks decent.”
“That’s definitely Zhang Mo. The two r.e.t.a.r.ded idiots you mentioned are Xu Yi and Luo Ming. The not so tall one is Shi Lei, they call him s.h.i.tou.”
“How’s Shi Lei’s family background? Tell me about it!”
Bao Dating glanced at Wu Haoyuan in surprise and tried to recall everything about Shi Lei: “Why are you interested in him all of a sudden? That guy has no sense of presence but he looks okay. In our second year, the girls were bored and ranked the boys in our department. I think he made it into top three or top five. Oh, of course, you are the first, you are this handsome……”
Wu Haoyuan laughed and swore: “Don’t try to flatter me. Talk about that Shi Lei.”
Bao Dating glanced at Shi Lei in surprise again, and said: “That guy really has no sense of presence. His marks just met the pa.s.sing line. After he came to the school, he didn’t talk much. Average grades, average social life. Except for those people in his dorm, he isn’t particularly close to anyone else. But he never offended anyone either. Usually if people offend him, he won’t say anything either. I’ve never seen him with any girls in the last three years either. Although when the girls ranked the boys, a few girls had some feelings for him, but I heard that from the girls in the student council. In the end, he didn’t take the hints and hid from them. If it wasn’t for that rank thing, Zhang Mo who was annoying and had some problems with me, and Shi Lei that just happened to be in his dorm, I won’t remember that a person like him existed.”
Wu Haoyuan ate a mouthful of food and nodded: “That’s not important. What’s his family background like?”
“Family? Not sure about that. But it should be ordinary, otherwise it was impossible for him to be so silent in the past three years. Bro, you are really making my life harder. That guy really has no sense of presence. I only saw him a few times when I go to cla.s.s, never even greeted him before and I don’t really know him. Bro, how did he p.i.s.s you off? Do you want me to give him some trouble?”
“Don’t bother with your useless tricks. They would only work for first and second years, but a fourth-year student? If he ignores you, it’s useless, but if he didn’t, it’s hard for you to even stay safe till graduation right now.”
Bao Dating laughed in embarra.s.sment, scratched his head and asked: “How did he p.i.s.s you off?”
There was no way that Wu Haoyuan would tell others about Sun Yiyi, including Bao Dating. So, he said: “Nothing much, just thought that he’s pretty active recently. I just saw him at the bar.”
Bao Dating remembered something and slapped his thigh: “Now that you mentioned it, that guy really seem to be more active. I always saw that d.a.m.ned fatty eating with them outside and I was a bit surprised. Once or twice is fine, but it was already the end of the month yet they still went out a lot. Last time I b.u.mped into them, oh, just last week, they were talking about lobsters and abalones. I thought they were boasting. People like them, I would believe it they said they were having boiled fish or crayfish.”
Wu Haoyuan noticed something and said: “So they don’t have much money?”
“They are just ordinary and live on the living expenses their families provide. Occasionally, they do tutoring as part-time job, but they don’t have much money!”
“That’s weird!” Wu Haoyuan told himself.
“What’s weird?” Bao Dating asked.
Wu Haoyuan snapped back and waved his hands: “Nothing, I was just thinking how they are going to the bar if they don’t have much money. They even got a half room.”
“Probably did some part-time jobs recently and earned some money. If you saw them at the bar, eating lobsters and abalones must be true then. Doesn’t this make you angry? Even people like them can make money.”
Wu Haoyuan knew that he couldn’t get anything more out of Bao Dating, he waved his hand and said: “Ok. Are you full? I’m leaving first!”
“Bro, don’t worry. I haven’t eaten much, I’ll eat some and go.”
Wu Haoyuan patted his shoulder as he stood up and left alone.
