Zheng Kai had been distraught recently.
Because his father asked him to give up the recommendation he got after he became the first in the cross-country race of Jifu University and exchange it for a scholarship. However, his father never said a single word about the use of the money. Zheng Kai had thought that if there was no hope for him to be with Chen Wanxin, it was also an excellent choice for him to go abroad as an exchange student once his soph.o.m.ore year began. Everything might become different when he returned gloriously from the United States.
But his mother told Zheng Kai on the phone with her nose running and tears coming out that his father might get in trouble outside. After spending all the money saved up for Zheng Kai to take a wife in the future, he also borrowed money here and there and even floated the idea of selling their house in the town.
Zheng Kai had to ask for a leave to go home.
"This is the life-saving money for emergencies! I prepared it for my brother! How many more f.u.c.king times do I have to tell you?" Facing his father who screamed hysterically and almost lost his senses, Zheng Kai had to hold his mother Guo Ciyun in his arms and patted her thin shoulder gently. Zheng Kai gathered less and separated more with his parents since his childhood, but he still remembered that he enjoyed his mother"s tenderness the most when his harsh father treated him that way, even though he no longer needed such a touching love and comfort from his mother since his early youth.
Zheng Kai compromised.
"He never paid the slightest attention to us, and he treated you heartlessly as if you were not his son! In his eyes, there is only his brother. So many years, A"kai, I feel so bitter in my heart, so bitter! When you settle down into a marriage, I will, I will tell you everything... Www..." Zheng Kai firmly remembered the words his mother said while crying. In Zheng Kai"s memory, his mother never cried so hysterically. She cried like her grievances and sadness of these years all broke out at the moment.
Maybe w.a.n.g Xiang was right that energy was conserved so no one would always be unlucky. After Zheng Kai solemnly confirmed that he would give up the recommendation, he transferred all the money to his father. In a drunken night, someone held him into her arms with a pair of tender hands. For the first time in his life, he was lying in the arms of a woman other than his mother. Her soft and bulging b.r.e.a.s.t.s, as well as her smooth skin, awoke Zheng Kai"s burning desire over the years. That night, he lingered on that woman"s body and indulged himself in an orgy of the flesh.
At first, Zheng Kai only wanted to enjoy one night of s.e.x. Seeing that the girl also made love with him out of her willingness, he considered nothing else but s.e.x. But he suddenly remembered the warmth Gu Xi left on his lips that night. Henceforth, Zheng Kai had a new girlfriend, Lu Sisi.
This day, Dorm No.216 was finally empty. Zheng Kai went to play basketball early. In some corner, w.a.n.g Xiang was loitering. And in the evening, Lin Wenxi usually would go to study. Zhao Yuan had taken a few days off. And carrying with cleaning cloth and cleaning b.a.l.l.s, Gu Xi opened the door with his key, and he thought that he would begin to clean the bottom of Zheng Kai"s bed.
Gu Xi used to come to Dorm No. 216 and did the cleaning, which had formed a habit of him. In his eyes, although Dorm No. 216 of the four boys was in order, it did not mean that the room was clean enough. For example, occasionally, some toothpaste would adhere to the wash basin. Sometimes, the wind would blow the socks hanging on the window to the ground. All those things were the reasons why Gu Xi, who was a Virgo, frowned.
Not to mention that he was already a member of the dorm now.
Gu Xi saw that some spider webs piled up in the corners of the dorm, and there were also some faint shoe prints on the floor. Moreover, the floor of the washroom did not seem to be very clean either. Thus, he planned to take this opportunity and gave a surprise to all the people in the dorm.
The door opened, and a girl inside the room stopped while looking at Gu Xi in surprise. She was precisely Zheng Kai"s new girlfriend, Lu Sisi. Holding a rag in her hand, she also wanted to help Zheng Kai do the cleanup.
With his left hand full of cleaning products, Gu Xi flushed a little and said, "It"s you, my sister-in-law. I happened to return the things I have borrowed from Wenxi."
Lu Sisi smiled coldly and said, "I have heard about the thing that you have been sending breakfast to this dorm. I also know that you often come here to clean. But I find it very strange. Shouldn"t a boy think more about the things boys always do instead of worrying about the things that girls usually do?"
Gu Xi opened his mouth and tried to say something. But finally, he swallowed the words on his lips, turned his head, and walked away. It was just then that he b.u.mped into the bare-chested Zheng Kai who was sweating and happened to come back.
"Help me to get some hot water. I need to take a shower," Zheng Kai said casually. He was stunned upon seeing Gu Xi. "Shouldn"t he be studying with Lin Wenxi at this time?"
"I... won"t bother," Gu Xi said. Then he slightly bowed his head and walked out of the dorm silently.
Tonight, there was no moonlight, and it was very dark outside. It seemed that a thick black coffin board had blocked the clear and bright Milky Way. Gu Xi felt that he had no other place to go, so he went to the study room to look for Lin Wenxi. They had their seats there, and they had taken a lot of books to occupy their places there. It was a privilege Zhao Yuan got for Lin Wenxi and Gu Xi as the chairman of the student union. Even Chen Wanxin could not enjoy the privilege.
But Lin Wenxi was not there.
"Undoubtedly, he should be studying here. But where is he now? Where should I go?"
Gu Xi felt that there was no need for him to enter this dorm again.
The girl who brought the meals to Zheng Kai was very attentive. Almost everyone in the dorm benefited from her a lot. w.a.n.g Xiang called her sister-in-law at her left and then called her again, sweetly at her right. If Zheng Kai bullied him, she could offer shelter for him.
Of course, Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi had no reason to stop Zheng Kai from officially being in a relationship with the girl, and so they were also very polite to her. The girl had already become a member of Dorm No. 216. Although Chen Wanxin sometimes might pop up in the dorm and embarra.s.sed her, she could justifiably appear at any party Zheng Kai attended. At the party, she could help Zheng Kai decline the wine others urged him to drink in time. She could hand a cup of water to Zheng Kai and carry his clothes when he played basketball. Hand in hand, she could also go for a walk with Zheng Kai on the playground and meet the admiring gazes proudly from others—what kind of women could become the girlfriend of Zheng Kai who had got the first place in the cross-country race of Jifu University?
Gu Xi knew that he had no more excuses always to pester Zheng Kai now because Lu Sisi had even taken away his extremely humble little wishes to do anything that he could do for Zheng Kai like cleaning his dorm, taking extra care of Zheng Kai"s tabletop and bed. He had not played around with Zheng Kai for a long time since she had already occupied him fully.
If there was one excuse for Gu Xi to stay, it would be Lin Wenxi. Gu Xi always believed that he and Lin Wenxi were two of a kind that they would fall in love with boys. Gu Xi always felt grateful that Lin Wenxi had shared with him lots of the words which he didn"t want to talk to Zhao Yuan.
"Even Wenxi has covered something to me. Going to study in the evening has already become our unshakeable habit. If he doesn"t go to study, he will tell me the reason and even discuss it with me."
Gu Xi did not know that Lin Wenxi at the moment had the same mixed feelings as his.
"Something happened to Zhao Yuan." On Lin Wenxi"s way to study, Chen Wanxin left quickly after she casually said the sentence to him. Lin Wenxi had no choice but to follow closely behind her.
