[Past Events Like Rain, Love Like Wind] My Chapter Two: Unlucky Years, No Sex Scenes, Pure Story

Jiang Ting's answer made me uneasy. From the moment I met her, I felt this girl was too mysterious. She was beautiful, had a great figure, was first in the entire grade, and came from a wealthy family, but few people pursued her, and she seemed to have never been in a relationship. She preferred to listen when communicating with people, and was very secretive about her own affairs; no one knew about her family situation.
She seemed particularly attentive to me, but she didn't want to be too intimate with me, yet she let me have sex with her, but then she kicked me aside after using me.
My thoughts were in turmoil. Had I fallen into some kind of trap? The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, to the point that I was trembling all over. I must be overthinking it, it must be like this, no doubt about it! Thinking about it
, I fell asleep. The next day, I was woken up by the alarm clock. I rolled over and looked at the time; it was already past six. I felt completely drained. Although yesterday's exercise was extensive in every way, it felt like elementary school level to me, less strenuous than practicing throwing techniques for half a day.
What truly exhausted me was a night of nonsensical dreams, the most troubling of which was that I dreamt I was carrying Jiang Ting on my back. She was holding a pole with a pair of lace panties hanging from one end. Jiang Ting was waving the pole in front of me, trying to seduce me, and cheerfully shouting, "Hurry up, Ah Qiong, we're almost there!" To get the panties, I didn't care that my feet were bleeding profusely; I was running like a madman on an endless highway, braying like a donkey!
This dream made me uneasy; my instinct was to stay away from Jiang Ting. Damn it! How could this be? She tells me to come and go as she pleases? Does she think I'm a dog? Go to hell! Damn, my whole body aches; I really don't want to get out of bed. Maybe I should take the day off. No, no, no, I have to find this little bitch and get to the bottom of this. I can't let her make a fool of me.
I forced myself to get up despite feeling unwell, quickly washed up, and went downstairs. I cautiously walked past my mom's room, peeking inside. She wasn't home yet. I checked the refrigerator—tsk tsk, since Dad went back to his hometown in Shandong, Mom hasn't even cooked! Leftovers are out of the question
! I can't go without food, so I'll have to buy some! I swaggered over to the fish tank, bowed to the auspicious fish, and said, "Daughters of the Dragon King, you've been in my house for over two years, and I've treated you to the best food and drink. Today, I'm short of money for food, so I'm asking you gentlemen to contribute a few. Please don't be offended!" Then I rolled up my sleeves, reached into the bathtub, and dug away the sand at the bottom
, revealing a waterproof bag. Heh, back when it was my dad's birthday, my mom offered to buy him a motorcycle, but the old man refused, saying the house was too quiet and he wanted some pets. I suggested a cat, and my dad slapped me, insisting on keeping fish! I immediately suspected something was fishy. Who was this old man? He killed a 30-year-old macaw. He killed a 30-year-old red-eared slider. When I was nine months old, he couldn't find his bottle, so he used a condom to make formula, cut a hole in the end, and fed me! If my mom hadn't discovered it early, it would have been only a matter of time before he killed me. But that's beside the point.
This old man, who could kill any animal, somehow kept dozens of auspicious fish alive. I became even more suspicious. So I decided to test it out. When the old man was home, I would linger near the fish tank for a long time, glancing sideways at his reaction. Haha, I gave myself away! Whenever I appeared in the tank, the old man would become tense, his eyes would dart around, his movements would stiffen, and he would stutter.
This was so damn funny! Once, when Dad was changing a light bulb on the ladder, I deliberately yelled, "Dad, this fish, fish, fish!" The old man immediately tumbled off the ladder, not even feeling the pain. He rushed out of the bedroom, covered in sweat, "What happened to this fish?!" I stood there with my hands behind my back, stammering for a while, before finally blurting out, "This fish got fat." Hahahaha, a few fish made him panic like that, there's only one possibility!
At this moment, I pulled out that black waterproof bag from the bottom of the drawer and took out the red bills inside. Oh dear, Dad, I'm so sorry. Dad saved up three thousand yuan for two years, and today his precious son took it all! Fate is cruel, fate is cruel, [this is called the mantis stalking the cicada!] I happily counted the bills, humming a little tune, ready to go to school. Who knew that turning around like this would lead me face-to-face with Mom! My mom waited for me with her bloodshot eyes, uttering through her fine teeth, "Heh, this is called 'the oriole unaware of the oriole behind'!"
When I came to my senses, I was already on my way to school. Damn it, every year the goose hunts the geese, but this year the goose pecked my eye! The thief got intercepted by bandits! I pulled out the last three hundred yuan from my pocket. Luckily, I was smart; I immediately confessed to my mom that my dad was dishonest, hiding money, and that I couldn't bear to see my mom working so hard, so I was taking this ill-gotten gain to give to her! My mom was very satisfied, taking two thousand seven hundred and leaving me three hundred as pocket money. I declared that if I ever found my dad's hidden money again, I would raid his lair and confiscate all his wealth to give to my mother! Heh, how clever I am! Damn it, I got a tithe from that old hag today! I'm furious,
but there's nothing I can do; a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. I touched the back of my neck; the sweat was still wet! I needed to hurry before she realized what was happening and chased after me, then I'd be in big trouble. So I walked faster and faster, wanting to get to school before seven o'clock, and preferably find that little bitch Jiang Ting and get some answers. If she dared to play me, I'd take her down with me! With that thought in mind, I started running. Just then, a student from No. 4 Middle School rode past me on his bike. I recognized him; he was a senior from a certain class in the second year of high school. I sped up to catch up with him and said, "Senior, I'm also a student from No. 4 Middle School, from Class 14 in the first year of high school. I'm afraid I'll be late, can you give me a ride?" The senior was very generous and offered me a seat on the back. I said, "Senior, I'll give you a ride! Look how strong I am, I can ride fast!" The senior didn't say anything, got off his bike and let me ride him. Heh, what a kind and friendly senior. I got on the bike and pedaled with all my might! The bicycle shot off like a wild donkey that had gone out of control! Behind me, I heard my senior's exclamation, "Junior, I haven't even gotten on yet..." Before he could finish the word "bike," my beloved senior had already disappeared from sight. I'm sorry, senior, riding alone is faster; tears welled up in my eyes.
Thanks to my senior's bicycle, the journey that normally takes 20 minutes was completed in just 5 minutes. I sped into the school parking lot, tossed my beloved senior's bicycle aside, and rushed towards Class 2. It was 6:40, 20 minutes before morning reading started—I still had time! Like a restless, rutting cat, I paced back and forth in front of Class 2 four or five times, only managing a quick glance each time, but I didn't see Jiang Ting at all! Time ticked by, and morning reading was about to begin. I had no choice but to take out a pen and paper from my bag and write, "Has Jiang Ting arrived? I need to talk to her." I crumpled the paper into a ball and tossed it through the back door onto the desk of the student in the last row by the window. The student looked at the note, glanced around, scribbled a few words, and tossed it back to me. I opened the note; it read, "[Didn't see her, probably asked for leave.]" Damn it!
I came all this way to see you, and you gave me leave! Just then, the 7 o'clock bell rang, and morning reading officially began. Like a lost soul, I stumbled back to Class 14. Only when I reached the classroom door did I remember that it was our homeroom teacher's turn to be on duty. I forced a "[Report!]" The teacher, without even looking up, said, "[Stand at the door!]" At that moment, everyone's eyes turned to me, including Liu Yu, who frowned, her eyes filled with confusion. I was speechless. Today was going to be a bad day. Whatever, I'll stand there as punishment!
I stood with my back to the classroom, facing the playground, my mind a jumble of emotions. I desperately wanted to call Jiang Ting right now, to ask if she was alright, why she hadn't come today, and whether she didn't want to see me. I reached into my pocket for my phone, but gritted my teeth, suppressing the urge. I wanted to ask her, but I was terrified of her answer! Damn it, why the hell are you torturing me like this! Listening to the monotonous morning reading from the classroom, like monks chanting scriptures, my mood worsened.
After morning reading, I got a scolding from the homeroom teacher, but he wasn't really in the mood for me. He just hoped that this troublemaker would behave for a while; once we were divided into classes, I'd probably be saying goodbye to him. Heh, I couldn't be happier.
Walking to the last row, several of the class's elite students straightened up as soon as they saw their leader arrive. Xun Hui offered him a seat. "Big brother, sit here!" I sat down next to him, tossing my backpack onto the table. I said, "I don't think you should call me big brother. I remember you were born in August, and I was born in December." Xun Hui chuckled. "You can call me big brother if you want, but I don't have the ability to save you from a thousand troops!" I didn't know whether to agree or not.
The incident at the West Gate last night had spread throughout the school. Some students from No. 4 Middle School had stood in Bald Kun's group yesterday, making the story even more fantastical.
"It's true! You can't disbelieve me, that ghostly man was wielding a big black cleaver, throwing people like stones, his voice was terrifying like a bear's howl, and he was chanting incantations while hacking down about a hundred people like watermelons!"
"Really! Really!" "Biaozi from Class 7 even sparred with him a couple of times. Seriously, he's 1.85 meters tall, huge and strong, just like... just like a poor guy!" The person who said this pointed at me, and suddenly everyone in the last row stared at me with strange looks. I ignored them, straightened my backpack, piled it higher, and lay down on the desk to catch up on sleep.
Just then, my phone received a text message. I hurriedly took out my phone to check it. Damn, it was that bitch Liu Yu! I instinctively realized that there might be trouble coming, and I had to be very careful with my words.
Liu Yu: "Where did you go yesterday? I waited for you in the park for an hour! (⊙︿⊙)"
Me: "I went to earn money yesterday, otherwise how would I support my dear wife? (p≧w≦q)" Damn, I almost threw up!
Liu Yu: "I sent you so many messages yesterday, why didn't you reply? [○?｀д′? ○]"
Me: "My boss requires us not to bring our phones to work. I saw the messages after midnight, and I didn't want to disturb your rest, so I didn't reply."
Liu Yu: "Were you in a fight yesterday? Was that guy in Chengxi Gate dressed as Sun Wukong you?" Huh? Sun Wukong?
Me: "Absolutely not! I'm a good kid. I've been working on a construction site lately, carrying bricks. Look at my build, I'm a natural bricklayer!"
I even gave a concluding speech: "I'm sorry, my love, earning money is a responsibility a man must bear. I can't hug you while carrying bricks, but I can't support you when I put down the bricks! I l??????"
Liu Yu seemed very touched. She turned to look at me, then sent me a heart emoji on her phone before focusing on the lesson. Suddenly struck by a thought, I turned to Xun Hui and asked, "Dog, do you think if I became a gigolo, would any rich woman keep me?"
Xun Hui thought for a moment, then said seriously, "Probably a hundred!"
I couldn't concentrate on the lesson; my mind was on Jiang Ting. I took out my phone and texted her. I'm a coward; I didn't dare ask about our relationship again, afraid she'd reject me, which would be worse than death. I could only ask her trivial things, like, "Did you have fun yesterday?" Haha, how could that be?
I asked her, "What are you doing? Why didn't you come to school today?" She quickly replied, "The weather's nice today, I'm going shopping in the city! How about you? Did your mom catch you red-handed yesterday?" Great, finally some news! This was the most comforting thing that happened to me today, as if the gloom in my heart had been blown away!
I replied, "Not so good. I stole my dad's secret stash of money today, and my mom robbed me!" Jiang Ting replied, "Your family is so funny! I'm here, I can't chat with you anymore, bye!" Wait, say a few more words to me! Damn! Xun Hui, watching me from the side, asked, "Big brother, you're all smiles one minute and downcast the next, who are you chatting with?"
I asked, "Dog, which one do you think is more suitable for me, Liu Yu or Jiang Ting?" Xun Hui looked around, then buried his head under the table and said, "What's there to hesitate about? That bitch Liu Yu kicks you aside like a dog, while Sister Ting treats you like a precious gem. If you let Sister Ting down, you're a complete idiot!"
Ah Hui, Ah Hui, how I wish what you said was true!
I whispered to him, "What would you think if I told you that Liu Yu is my real girlfriend?" Xun Hui, startled, jerked his head up so hard it hit the bottom of the table with a loud thud. The math teacher, who had been lecturing with spittle flying from his lips, was furious. He slammed his textbook on the table and pointed at the two of us, yelling, "You two, go stand in the corner as punishment!" Ha, what a bad day.
Xun Hui and I stood side by side at the classroom door, listening to the teacher's spittle-flecked lecture. I sighed and asked Xun Hui, "You look so worried today, something's on your mind?" Xun Hui replied, "Sigh, it's about food! I'm not going to stay out of school anymore, I need to find a way to earn some extra money. The income from my grandma's little shop is barely enough to make ends meet, and the school charges 1100 yuan a year for tuition." I patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, "Don't worry, you'll have your bread ."
I hadn't checked the almanac before leaving home today. Since entering the school gate, I've only been sitting in my seat for 10 minutes, and I've been standing outside the classroom door as punishment until nine o'clock. There's a saying, "Misfortunes never come singly." During break, I went to the toilet, and the second-year students blocked my way. Why? Because of their bicycles! The unlucky senior and his classmates cornered me at the toilet door, looking like they wanted to devour me.
"Junior! I saw you were going to be late today, so I kindly gave you a ride. Not only did you steal my bike, but you also threw it into the ditch! Tell me, how are we going to settle this score?!" I don't think I threw it into the ditch, right? But I was in the wrong first, so I didn't argue too much and directly apologized to the senior. "I'm sorry, senior, I was being unreasonable. What do you want me to do?" The senior started counting on his fingers, "Both wheels are deformed, the derailleur is broken, and the chain is broken. I bought this bike at Giant for 1200 yuan. You either fix it for me or buy me a new one!" There was also a henchman shouting, "If you don't pay, I'll beat you up!" I wanted to laugh, but before I could reply, I heard a sharp shout from the side, "Who do you want to hit?!"
I looked in the direction of the voice, and guess who it was? It was Wu Mengya! This girl walked towards me with her hands on her hips and her almond-shaped eyes wide open. Fang Miao followed behind her in a coquettish voice, not daring to make a sound. Wu Mengya and Fang Miao stood in front of the group of upperclassmen, separating me from them. They seemed very scared and were trembling, but they showed no sign of backing down. In the sunlight, the two girls' slender figures cast giant shadows, making the mice in front of them appear exceptionally small!
I was grateful to Mengya and Miao Miao, but this really wasn't their place to interfere. I decided to stop them before the situation escalated further. Before the upperclassmen could react, I pulled the two girls aside and said to them, "I need to say a few words to them, seniors. I promise I won't run away." The upperclassmen didn't intend to argue with two little girls and gestured for me to have a minute.
I said to Mengya, "What are you doing here? Go back now!" Mengya replied, "How much money do you owe them? We'll make it up for you!"
I said, "I appreciate your kindness, but please go back now." Yes, you underestimate me. In this world, besides my mother, who dares to take my money!
Miao Miao: "What if they beat you up? Just hold on for a bit, I'll go get the teacher!" Damn, you guys should stay! I said, "Don't call the teacher. If you're worried, stay. Watch how I deal with them." I winked at them, then went back into the "circle" of senior students.
I said, "It was my fault for damaging the senior's car, I definitely have to take responsibility, but I'm a poor student, how could I possibly come up with 1200 yuan!"
Senior: "I know you can't come up with that much money, and I don't want to be the bad guy. How about this, a flat rate of 800 yuan!"
I shrugged. "No, I can't afford it."
The senior was speechless. "Then give me 600 yuan!"
I said, "I don't have that much."
Senior: "Damn, how much do you have?"
I pulled out some change from another pocket. "Hmm, four yuan and fifty cents."
The senior was about to collapse. [Then what do you suggest!]
I said, "[Senior, look how strong I am, why don't you beat me up to vent your anger?]
" Mengya panicked, "[Don't do it, we'll pay you back!]" I quickly raised my hand to signal them not to interrupt.
The seniors present were instantly petrified. One of them, a burly guy, grabbed my collar, "[You fucking want to get beaten up? We'll each punch you, and you'll still be a flat-chested mess after you're healed!]"
I pretended to be scared, "[Senior, if beating me will vent your anger, then hit me as hard as you want!]"
The seniors present fell silent, exchanging strange glances and whispering amongst themselves. Finally, the victim stepped forward, looking miserable, and said, "[Brother, you'd better pay a little, my mom just bought me this bicycle, and it broke after only two days. My mom will skin me alive!] We were just bluffing you, we wouldn't dare really hit you!"
After listening to my senior's complaints, I resolutely said, "No, you have to hit me. If someone like me isn't taught a lesson, it's a violation of public order and morality. Hit me, as long as you don't make me pay, I'll take whatever it takes!" With that,
I knelt down with a thud!
Seeing me kneel, my senior knelt down too, tears welling in his eyes, "Brother, even if you don't have money, at least help me fix my car, okay? So I can go home with an explanation!" He then burst into tears. I squeezed out a few fake tears as well.
The buddies my senior had brought to vent their anger were incredibly embarrassed by this scene, unsure whether to hit him or scold him. They could only mutter a few words and slink away dejectedly. Seeing the henchmen leave, I stood up, dusted off my knees, and said, "Senior, if you don't have anything else to tell me, I'm going to class." With that, I left my stunned senior behind and pulled the dumbfounded little rabbit along with me.
What had just happened was beyond the comprehension of the two girls. Mengya kept muttering, "How could this be? How could this be?" Miaomiao seemed to have caught on first, saying coolly, "You're such a sly fox!"
I remained noncommittal.
From the morning, my world felt shrouded in mist, the air so heavy I could hardly breathe. Suddenly, Mengya and Miaomiao shone into my life like two bright beams of light. They showed me that even the weakest person has the courage to never back down! I will always remember their kindness. To express my gratitude for their rescue, I escorted them back to their classrooms one by one. When I parted with Mengya, she asked, "Do you have time after school today? Treat me to dinner."
I replied that I had no fancy dishes, but plenty of scrambled eggs with tomatoes!
Just then, the bell rang. I yelled "Oh no!" and rushed towards Class 14. Damn it, the next two periods were both taught by our homeroom teacher! I arrived at the door too late. The homeroom teacher said it was too much of a hardship for me to attend class and made me stand at the door for two periods! The other students were speechless. Coming from home and being late? Going to the bathroom and being late? The top students in the last row, seeing my pathetic state, laughed so hard they almost fell off the table! That bastard! I raised my hand: [Teacher, Xun Hui gave me the middle finger!] [You get out of here too!!]
I came to school, not to be your doorman! Getting angry was useless; after all, he's the cat, and I'm the mouse. Just then, my phone vibrated. I glanced back at the homeroom teacher who was lecturing, and secretly checked my phone. Could it be her? Ha, it was Liu Yu. [Serves you right for being punished (*σ′?`)σ] I was even more annoyed. I said: [Xun Hui!] Xun, whom I had tricked, was very unhappy with me. He didn't want to talk to me at first, but when he heard me call him by his real name, he paused for a moment. "What's wrong, bro?" I said. "The fourth period is PE, I don't want to go, let's skip class!" Xun Hui asked. "Where to?" I looked at the playground. "Do you know what season it is now?" Xun Hui frowned, looking puzzled. I turned to look at him. "This is harvest season!"
After the second period, there was a break for exercises, a total of half an hour. I didn't do the exercises, but instead climbed over the wall and ran as fast as I could to Coco, which was three blocks away from the school. When I returned to school with red bean milk tea, the break for exercises had just ended. I waited for Niu Mengmeng, the physics representative of Jiang Ting's class, at the door of her classroom. I saw her, called her to a less crowded place, and offered to buy her milk tea. Seeing how attentive I was, the chubby girl immediately took a liking to me. While sipping her milk tea, she said, "Oh, handsome, you're so nice, but I'm still young and not planning on dating right now." I chuckled and said, "That's such a pity. A woman as intelligent as you, any man who gets your favor is truly lucky. You're Jiang Ting's elementary school classmate, right? I want to ask you some questions about her." Hearing that it wasn't directed at her, Niu Mengmeng's face immediately fell. She said, "That's true, but that was a long time ago. You see, I'm busy studying every day, and if I don't replenish my sugar regularly, my brainpower isn't enough, and I can't remember things." Hehe, what a straightforward woman, I like her.
In the end, I used the voucher for ten cups of milk tea to get the following information about Jiang Ting:
1. Jiang Ting is not used to initiating conversations with others.
2. Jiang Ting has always had excellent grades.
3. Jiang Ting comes from a well-off family.
4. No one has ever seen Jiang Ting's parents; her uncle attended parent-teacher conferences on her behalf
. 5. Jiang Ting has always been very low-key .
Most importantly, Jiang Ting has been behaving strangely for the past two months, including saying inexplicable things, becoming more generous by frequently treating classmates to meals, not bringing books to class, reading extracurricular books during class, frequently taking leave, and ignoring teachers' advice.
Well, that's all I know. I wrote down the information Niu Mengmeng revealed in my notebook, thanked her, and was about to leave when she called out to me, "Hey, you haven't given me hush money yet. If Jiang Ting asks, I won't keep your secret!" I laughed and said, "If you'd known her since childhood, you definitely wouldn't dare tell her. You're afraid of her, right?" I ignored the stunned Niu Mengmeng and turned back to the classroom. I couldn't be late again. I finally sat down before class started. Just in time, the bell rang as soon as my bottom touched the bench. Yay! Just as I was gloating over not being punished by standing in the corner, I noticed everyone around me laughing at me. Confused, I saw my homeroom teacher saunter in, teacup in one hand and bag in the other, and immediately spot me. [Hey, didn't I tell you to stand for two periods? Get out!]
I stood at the door, reflecting on my day: being robbed by my mom, surrounded by upperclassmen, punished by the teacher, mocked by classmates, and endlessly strung along by that damn Jiang Ting! Is this life? Damn it! [Hey, I've had a blast this morning. Tell me something to cheer me up.] Xun Hui, standing nearby, thought for a moment. [Hmm, look how nice the weather is, how fresh the air is!] I interrupted him. [Forget it, please stop.] Xun Hui: [Bro, you really know how to tease me. Something to cheer me up? My life's practically black and white already, and you're trying to make me happy!] I said, "[You need to think more positively. Although life is tough now, just think about how tough things will be in the future, and you'll realize how lucky you are now!]" Xun Hui replied, "[Bro, shut up! I'm about to cry!]" Yeah, Xun Hui's been depressed lately, and I need to find a way to cheer him up. Just then, our teacher poked his head out and roared, "You sons of bitches, even standing in the corner can't shut you up! Go run laps! Run until the end of class!" I said to Xun Hui, "[See? Happiness is relative. Compared to now, weren't you...happy?]"
During the fourth period of PE, Xun Hui and I slipped out. I hailed a taxi, "Driver, to Sitong Driving School!" On the way, Xun Hui kept nagging like a broken record. First, he asked if I was really dating Liu Yu. After I confirmed, he kept telling me how much of a slut Liu Yu was, how much better Jiang Ting was, and to dump Liu Yu and be with Jiang Ting. He went on and on about how good Jiang Ting was at studying, how gentle she was, how caring she was, and how rich her family was—as if he knew Jiang Ting really well. It sounded nice, but it was all nonsense. If Jiang Ting were willing to accept me, I wouldn't need his rambling; I'd be in her arms by now!
I told Xun Hui, "Gouzi, thanks for your concern, but I like Jiang Ting too, though she doesn't like me." Xun Hui was confused. "How could that be? She slept with you!"
I gestured for him to lower his voice and said, "I don't know what she's thinking. She's... really strange!"
After chatting like this for a while, we arrived. After getting out of the car, I told Xun Hui, "I only brought you here because I don't consider you an outsider. Don't make a sound or tell anyone." Xun Hui said not to worry, so I took him into the driving school and found my senior brother at the convenience store. After confirming that Xun Hui was one of us, my senior brother told us to sit wherever we wanted. I didn't have time for small talk, so I cut to the chase and asked, "How's business?" My senior colleague replied happily, "Great, of course! This driving school owner is incredibly stingy. They only have three cars for 100 students. They can only drive once or twice a day. While waiting to get in a car, most of the students spend their time here, making almost a thousand yuan a day!" I sensed something in his words, so I picked up where he left off, "But?" My senior colleague said, "You're smart, junior. I have some bad news and some good news to tell you." What bad news could there be? I interrupted him, "The bad news is that the cops found out. The fact that you haven't been arrested yet means the cops are negotiable." I wasn't in the mood for further conversation and blurted out everything he wanted to say. I asked him again, "What percentage did he say he wanted?" My senior said, "It's so easy talking to smart people. He's not greedy, he only wants 20%. But don't worry, junior, I'll give him my share." I didn't say anything. "Then thank you very much, senior. I'm here to settle the bill." My senior said, "No problem! I'll do the math for you now. Before that, there are a few expenses to deduct." He picked up a pen and scribbled on the paper, muttering to himself, "My wife is watching the machine now, so the monthly labor cost is 800, electricity is 200, and the room that's freed up for the machine is 400 in rent." This bastard started doing the math for me. Xun Hui couldn't stand it anymore and gestured to me with his lip. I shook my head, signaling him to be quiet. I just stared calmly at this shrewd businessman. My senior also noticed that I was staring at him. He started talking less and less, but sweat poured down his forehead. As he continued calculating, he couldn't take it anymore. I slammed my pen on the table. "How dare you haggle with the boss over such a small amount of money? I just wanted to say that it's not easy for us workers to earn money." Haha, you know what's good for you. My senior colleague reported this month's performance to me: 36,480 yuan. I can get 14,600 yuan. Then he said to me, "Ah Qiong, now that we have partners, you don't need to worry about us getting shut down. I'll just give you the money directly. Cigarettes aren't something you can just get whenever you want." I said, "No way, give me the cigarettes. What we agreed on is what we'll do now. I don't care where you get them." My senior colleague had no choice but to start looking for cigarettes for me. He shoved a whole bag full of them—soft Zhonghua, hard Zhonghua, Yuxi, Hongtashan, Huanghelou—all sorts of brands.
While I was getting a cigarette, I chatted with my senior brother for a bit. I asked him about Master Wu's recent situation. He replied, "Master Wu doesn't run the martial arts school anymore. He's selling pork at the market now, fighting with people every day for a spot. Damn, who can beat him? He gets the best spot in the market every day and earns more than before!" I almost laughed, feeling a mix of emotions. Master Wu used to be quite nice to me; I'll visit him sometime. My senior brother then asked about my dad, "Hey, when is Master coming back? He hasn't opened the school for a week." I said, "How would I know? This time he hid some money, and it caused quite a stir. I guess he won't be back for a while." My senior brother snorted, "You think it's about the hidden money? Looks like you don't know." This piqued my interest. "What happened?" My senior brother gestured towards Xun Hui, who glanced at me and wisely went outside to smoke. My senior brother spoke up, "Junior brother, how should I explain this to you? Just consider it my sharp tongue!" I didn't say anything, and he continued, "Did you know that our eldest sister also went to Shandong?" His use of the word "also" was brilliant; I immediately understood what he meant. But fearing I might misunderstand, I asked, "What do you mean?" "What do you mean? That's what I mean!" He didn't say it explicitly, but instead made a circle with one hand and moved the index finger of the other hand back and forth inside the circle. My heart skipped a beat, and I asked again, "How long has it been?" My senior brother said, "At least a few years. Sigh, Master's wife is so beautiful and so good to Master, how could she..." Before he could finish speaking, he saw me glancing at him, shuddered in fright, and lowered his head to pack his cigarettes. I called Xun Hui in to help pack the cigarettes. After we finished, I took out a pack of cigarettes, opened it, took out five packs and put them in my bag. I gave the remaining half pack to my senior brother, saying, "Here, take this half pack. When our partner comes over, we can't be stingy, right?" My senior brother happily accepted the cigarettes, and I carried the bag out of the convenience store. I said to Xun Hui, "Let's go find Grandma!"
On the way, Xun Hui asked me, puzzled, "We have a cop protecting us, why not just take the money directly?" I smiled, "Foolish little brother, there's no cop, he made it up. You don't know, the profit split I initially proposed was 60% for him and 40% for me, but this bastard doesn't trust me and is afraid I'll propose a different split someday, so he made up a fake cop to split the money, making it 40/40/20. That way, I can't take his money. If the police don't find out, he can take his 60% without worry. If we get caught, he'll demand that we each give him 10% as a bribe." So it became 532. The ridiculous thing is that I never intended to split it again. In the end, I gave him half a pack of cigarettes so he would think he had tricked me. Xun Hui exclaimed that he had been fooled, and asked in confusion, "Then why did he insist on giving you cash?"
I replied, "He wanted to tie me to his boat. Think about it, everyone in the driving school buys cigarettes from him. They smoke while fishing. How many cigarettes do they need a day? Can't he afford to supply us with this little bit of cigarettes? If you knew that his brother works at the tobacco company, you wouldn't be surprised. As long as his surveillance cameras capture me taking his money, I will be his accomplice. Even if it's too late to save him, at least he can take someone down with him!" Xun Hui cursed, "That bastard!" As we were talking, we arrived. Before getting out of the car, I suddenly realized that I had said a lot of things I shouldn't have said in the car, so I patted the driver on the shoulder and asked, "Sir, was what I said just now reasonable?" The driver was smart. "What did you just say? I was thinking about something and didn't hear you." I nodded, gave him double the money and a pack of cigarettes, and got out of the car. Xun Hui led me to the entrance of his family's small shop, where we met his grandmother. Xun Hui introduced me, his sworn brother, to her. I knelt down and kowtowed to the old woman, calling out, "Grandma!"
After exchanging pleasantries with her for a while, I handed her my spoils, instructing her not to sell to strangers, and even to acquaintances who weren't heavy smokers. I told her to sell all the cigarettes at a 10% discount, keeping 10% for Xun Hui's tuition. We couldn't stay long, so after saying goodbye to the grandmother, I led the bewildered Xun Hui out of the neighborhood. I patted Xun Hui on the shoulder, "Look, here's some bread!"
When we returned to school, the fourth period had just ended. Xun Hui said, "Let's go to the cafeteria." I refused, "I'm not going, even if you kill me. Have you forgotten about Apan?" Poor Apan ordered braised pig's head at the cafeteria, found a bright yellow pig tooth in his food, and swallowed his anger. Then, he found a shard of glass in his rice, his mouth bleeding profusely—all in the time it takes to eat a meal!
We grabbed a quick stir-fry at the school gate, and I sent Xun Hui back to class first. I had some things to do; it was time to collect the rent from the game consoles I'd rented out last time. I ran around the front and back buildings, working hard, but in harvest season, what farmer would complain about being tired? My ideal was grand, but reality was harsh. My money-making plan had its first problem. A month ago, I'd only collected 1200 yuan in rent for four of the game consoles I'd rented out. What about the remaining six? They were confiscated. According to the agreement, I should be compensated 200 yuan for the confiscated consoles, making it 1200 yuan. The students whose consoles were confiscated apologized and readily paid the compensation. Holding the money in my hand, I suddenly realized I'd made a stupid mistake: I'd set the compensation too low. Playing for a month cost 300 yuan, but since they'd swallowed my consoles, I only needed to pay 200 yuan—essentially a one-time buyout at a lower price! Realizing what had happened, I was filled with regret. All I could do was try to reason with them, "It's okay, I've confiscated it, but if I see you playing video games again, even if you bought them yourself, it's no good. If I find out, you'll be in for a beating." I hoped they would behave themselves.
With the 300 yuan from the morning, holding 3000 yuan in my hand, I suddenly felt like a rich person, walking with a swagger! I ran all the way back to the classroom just before class started. Having sat in the last row for so long, for the first time I felt my chair was actually quite cute. If it hadn't been rubbed against so many butts, I really wanted to kiss it before sitting down.
The afternoon was the last class of the week, and everyone went home afterward, so the class was unusually restless. I was the one who stood out. I took my Nokia 5233 out of my bag, removed the SIM card, and carefully used the newly bought SIM card cutter to remove the phone chip. The designer of the iPhone 4 must have had a brain full of shit to come up with such a despicable design. I cut off the excess edge of the SIM card, took out the phone Jiang Ting had given me, and inserted the chip. Now my new phone could work.
Xun Hui next to me saw my new phone and his eyes almost popped out of his head. He begged me to let him play with it for a while. Playing was out of the question, but looking at it was fine. Xun Hui fiddled with the phone and asked, "Why is there a password?" I smiled mysteriously and said, "Hehe, there are some secrets inside that I can't show you." Everyone's attention was drawn to me. I ignored them and focused on my 5233, deleting all the old call logs and text messages. I figured I could probably sell them for a good price. After I finished, I asked Xun Hui for my phone. Xun Hui shrugged, "[They sent it to the front.]"
My scalp tingled instantly. I was so angry I just wanted to grab that bastard and beat him up. Where did it go? I hope it's not lost! The nude photos inside are my only possessions! I frantically looked around, and suddenly my eyes met Liu Yu's. That bitch turned around and looked at me smugly, waving my phone around. My heart sank.
Liu Yu had someone pass me a note with the words "Tell me the password?" written on it. No, absolutely not. If I told her, Jiang Ting's nude photos would be exposed. I'm not a good person to begin with, but if Jiang Ting is called a whore because of me, I'd rather die a thousand deaths! But if I don't tell Liu Yu the password, she'll definitely doubt my loyalty to her, and our relationship might fall apart. The cooked duck would really fly away! Weighing the pros and cons... fuck you, there's no point in weighing them. I have to protect Jiang Ting!
I wrote on the note, "You bitch, give me back my phone right now, or I'll throw it off the second floor!" I made up my mind, crumpled the note into a ball, and thought, "Oh well, what's done is done!" Just then, Xun Hui, for some reason, suddenly burst into laughter. The English teacher, who was writing on the blackboard, heard the laughter, turned around, and angrily demanded, "Who was laughing just now?!"
Xun Hui raised his hand. "Teacher, it was Zhang Qiong!" Teacher: "Get out of here! Laugh all you want!" Ah Hui, you're truly my savior. Of all the times I've been punished by standing, this was the only time I willingly went out. My steps were light, as if I were going to receive an award! As I passed Liu Yu, I gave her a helpless look; she could only watch helplessly.
Standing at the door, I started to worry again. This was just a temporary reprieve; after class, Liu Yu would smell it and confront me. What should I do then? Unexpectedly, Xun Hui helped me again. After class, Liu Yu called me aside to a secluded spot, shoved my phone into my hand, and said, "Xun Hui told me this is stolen property. You even bought a stolen phone? Here you go!" Damn, that was a perfect excuse. I fawned, "It's cheap, but it needs to be hacked to work. Yu, I'll buy you one too." Liu Yu said sweetly, "I don't want stolen property, I want a new one!" I really wanted to slap myself then. Zhang Qiong, Zhang Qiong, how could you be so shameless! How much does a new phone cost?!
Liu Yu seemed to sense my hesitation, raising an eyebrow slightly. "What, you're reluctant? Then forget it. A phone is so expensive, and our relationship isn't that far yet. Asking you for such an expensive gift is a bit shameless." Although she said it casually, she had actually pushed me to the edge. This question was unavoidable, and there was only one correct answer.
I suppressed my anger. "It's not expensive, it's not expensive. I'll sell my blood to buy it for you if you like it!" Liu Yu was overjoyed to receive my promise. "Silly dog! I won't let you do anything stupid. I didn't say I wanted it now. Your intention is enough!" Looking at her shy and cute appearance, I couldn't help but hug her. Liu Yu hurriedly pushed me away, blushing and scolding me coquettishly, "What are you doing! We're still at school!" There's a chance!! When
Xun Hui saw me return, he immediately raised his eyebrows, as if to gloat. I sat down and bumped fists with him to celebrate. He asked, "How did it go?"
I said, "The duck is still in the pot!"
The duck is safe, but I have to hurry. Liu Yu's birthday is on the 5th of next month. If I have to get her into bed before then, otherwise I'll have to spend money to buy her a phone to show my loyalty. I have 3,000 yuan in hand, and another 1,000 or 2,000 in my bank account. That should be enough, but not enough for my sisters' expenses. I need to slowly sell my cigarettes; a distant solution won't solve my immediate problem. Are there any new ways to make money? Dad! Dad's secret stash! He must have hidden a lot of money somewhere else! That bastard betrayed Mom. He teaches me every day to be upright and honest, yet he and my senior sister actually had sex in bed. I will represent justice and righteousness to judge him.
The hardest part is the last class. Five minutes before the end, the class is already buzzing with excitement. I know that as soon as the bell rings, the class's elite will sprint to the nearest internet cafe, wasting their youth. I asked Liu Yu for leave, saying I needed to go home early and couldn't see her off. Liu Yu understood. I then said to Xun Hui, "Hey Gouzi, I'm having dinner with a pretty girl later, wanna hang out at the table?" Xun Hui thought I was going on a date with Liu Yu and said, "No, Grandma's made dinner, I have to go home." I didn't press him, but said, "When you get back, tell Grandma to be careful selling cigarettes. If someone reports you, a fine is one thing, but having your cigarette sales license revoked would be terrible!" Xun Hui said he remembered. I gave him another 600 yuan and said, "After class, run fast to Class 3 of Grade 11 and find Xu Liang. Tell him Zhang Qiong is sorry and ask him to fix his bicycle." After saying that, I thought about it for a long time and reluctantly added another 200 yuan.
After school, I picked up my bag and left the school gate, heading home. Finding no other students around, I took another route back. Reaching the back gate, I offered a cigarette to Old Liu, the gatekeeper, and started chatting. Old Liu was a widower, seemingly connected to the principal, and had been assigned to guard the gate. Since he arrived, skipping class had become much harder; students could only enter, not leave. I figured if I could win him over, it would be like gaining another privilege at school! After
about the time it takes to smoke a cigarette, Mengya, carrying her schoolbag, skipped over from the other end of the alley. She grabbed my hand and said, "Were you waiting impatiently?" I stroked her hair. "That depends on who you're waiting for. If you're willing to wait a lifetime." Hehe, my words were getting sweeter and sweeter.
Mengya poked me with her finger. "Such sweet talk, you must have ulterior motives." Her poke made me even happier. Old Liu sighed beside me, "Youth is so wonderful, sigh." I was a little carried away and forgot about the lone cop next to me. To avoid reminding him of the situation, I shoved the remaining cigarettes into his hand. "Uncle Liu, I can't keep you company any longer. Here, take these!" Old Liu was a little flattered. "Kid, how can I accept this? Keep them for yourself." I said, "Don't bother, I don't smoke. I'm just carrying them as a token of my respect!" Seeing that Old Liu had taken the cigarettes, I said goodbye and pulled Mengya away. Mengya asked, "Why are you being so polite to a doorman?" I said, "Respect him. We'll be relying on him in the future."
Huh? It seems like someone's missing. I asked her, "Where's Miaomiao?" She said, "I took her to her music lesson. I'll pick her up at eight."
I guessed what was going on, but still asked her, "Are you her nanny?" Mengya elbowed me. "Go to hell! She's my cousin, my blood cousin. Her mom is my aunt."

Oh, I thought to myself. A chilling voice came from behind me, "Zhang!" I thought, "I'm doomed, I'm doomed," but I still forced myself to turn around.

There was Liu Yu, carrying her textbooks, jogging over from a short distance and stopping in front of Mengya and me. She asked in a very polite tone,
"Eh! Is this your girlfriend?"
Her eyes were icy cold.
