CHAPTER 7 : ADDICTED

“Can you lend it to me?” Zhang Yang held the book close tohim, and looked up to the girl.

“What.. The …?” Zhang Yang saw the girls face, his wholebody jumped in fierce like a spring, before the girl could react, his figurehad disappeared up in the stairs. “My book! My book…! d.a.m.n you perverted,peeping maniac!”

Fleeing from the scene to the fifth floor, Zhang Yang couldfeel his heart in his hand, beating violently, and with the sound of the girlyelling from downstairs, he realized that he was still holding the math book.Naturally, Zhang Yang did not dare to go below the stairs because he knew thatgirl, she was his greatest enemy at school. Among the hundreds of photographthat he had uploaded before, more than half of the pictures were of that girl,and furthermore there were several pictures that revealed a lot.

Allegedly that girl had once ruthlessly said that, as longas she gets the hold of Zhang Yang, she would torture him to death.

The girl was not from an ordinary background, her name wasXiao Yirin, a well-known family name. She had no parents, she only had abrother whom she could depend upon. Rumor had it that the brother has quite a relationshipwith the underground forces of the C city. Zhang Yang wasn’t quite sure whetherit was true or not but at any rate the students and his surrounding circlebelieves in it so he was quite concerned that the brother would come find himin the school.

After climbing the fifth floor Zhang Yang quickly closed thedoor, the dormitory was still very quiet, some of the roommates were stillsleeping inside plus the room had a sweet fragrant. He could hear the “bang”“bang” sound of his heart beating while he lay down on his bed. It took him alot of time to recover from this panic attack. The girl’s brother was too muchof a pressure to him, his legend itself was more than enough to make peopletremble with fear. All those information concluded that Xiao Yirin’s brother wasa ruthless guy.

“d.a.m.n it! I will not take a step out of school, I don’tstill believe that you can come to school to kill…” After calming down for abit, his spirit came to life again, “A dead pig doesn’t fear scalding water”.Zhang Yang thought of the math book, he was still holding it in his hands. Thebook emitted a faint smell of ink, it was new, as he opened the t.i.tle page andhe could see Xiao’s signature and the purchase date,” Actually bought a newbook in August! Please take good care of her.” Looking at the book, all of asudden, the fear that Zhang Yang had was casted away and a strong urge to readthe book took all the troubles away from him.

In a matter of time, Zhang Yang was indulged in thewonderful world of mathematics, needless to say, it was a very good book. Theentire field of Mathematics, its basic concepts along with the methods made aprofound as well as a clear explanation in the book. The time was elapsingslowly, Zhang Yang could not help but pick up a pen and started to write anddraw, a number of iconic symbols, and occasionally writing his own ideas andsome several methods of mathematical operations on the blank pages. He’dcompletely forgot about the owner of the book. The time was flowing in analarming rate, Zhang yang did not notice any of his roommate’s entry or exits.He was completely drowned in this world of numbers, where, he was the master ofall, he was the general existence of G.o.d!

“Zhang Yang! Are you reading a novel? Common, eatsomething!” One of his roommates entered with a lunchbox.

Astonishingly, an extreme sense of fatigue and hunger hithis heart, a sweet aroma overflowed from the lunchbox and pulled him out of theaddictive mathematical world at once. Zhang Yang felt like pa.s.sing out due toweakness. “What time is it? I have not had any breakfast yet.” Zhang Yangremembered that he’d actually forgotten to eat breakfast after he met XiaoYirin. “Breakfast?” his roommate looked surprised” Is this a time to havebreakfast? I’m already having dinner”. “” Ah. Dinner?” Zhang Yang jumped out ofthe bed, picked up the lunchbox and rushed to the dining hall.(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

To one’s surprise he was unconsciously lying on the bed forthe entire day with the book, without eating anything till dinner time, “d.a.m.nit! From when did I became fond of learning?”

“Let’s take a look, what kind of erotic novel was ourpeeping prince looking at…….. ‘The basicconcept and ideas’……. When did this kid started to learn, was he actuallylooking at such profound Mathematics book all day?”The second Zhang Yang went,the roommate picked up the book on the bed to read.

“Let me see.” The other roommate who was resting on anotherbed took the book and turned a page. “Come here, take a look at this, he’s intothis girl, do you not see, the signature in the book is of Xian Yirin, and itwas bought in August…. Strange, strange…. “How?” “That guy and Xiao Yirin aresworn enemies, when did they ever meet up? And this book was bought at the endof August and now it is in Zhang Yang’s hand, you say, isn’t this surprising?”

“As a matter of fact, Zhyang Yang vanished for the entiresummer, he’d been working in the C city and living in school for three years ofsummer vacation.”

“Well, it’s quite weird…” “Could it be … Is it possible thattheir relationship transcended from enemy to a friend…? Is Zhang Yang notafraid of Xiao’s brother slicing him up??” “Over the past three years I haven’t seen a single person who dares tochase after Xiao Yiran.”

Their dry gossip, literally raised from the problems ofMathematic books to Zhyang Yang and Xiao Yirin’s ambiguous relationship.

These gossips were making false statements, meanwhile ZhangYang was running towards the dining hall with the lunch box in his hand, butonly to run half way as he forcibly stopped as e remembered that he didn’t havehis wallet, the rice coupon was gone too, and most importantly, his ATM cardwas also in the wallet.

“Should I look for the girl from the train?”

“Or find someone to solve my life’s problem first?”

After a little thought, Zhang Yang finally made a decision,then went to the dormitory not to find the junior girl but to find Liu Biao tosolve his life’s problem first.

Liu Biao was the only friend he had in school, good fornothing, arrogant and despotic, often found fooling around with the gangstersoutside the school, in addition to chasing after girls. Everyone was weirdedout with the bizarre combination of Zhang Yang, a cowardly timid introvert andthen an orangutan mixed together.

Zhang yang had an eccentric personality, more likely aloner, Although sometimes, he’d talk with others for borrowing money for meals,but still he would rather try to find Liu Biao to open up and unwilling toapproach the roommates and cla.s.smates.

In the three years of University, if Zhang Yang hadn’t shockedthe entire nation with his greatest involvement on the peeping event, theentire XX College if Art and Sciences, it was unlikely that not more than 50people would recognize him, in fact Zhang Yang’s cla.s.s itself had more thanforty students.

Even if Zhang Yang’s social circle appeared small, in thethree years duration of University, along with normal school work, he wouldslash his head to find some part time jobs in the C city even in Sat.u.r.days andthe Sundays. If there was nothing else to do, he would spend his time lingeringin the Internet Café outside the campus grounds.

Addicted to the network, this is where he made a connectionwith the gatekeeper Uncle w.a.n.g.

“Uncle w.a.n.g, please lend me a phone call”. Zhang yangslipped into the doorman’s room, with a whole hearted facial expression. Therewere no cell phone in the entire school, except with few and Zhang Yang wasprecisely one of them.
