“Lingling, forget about that kid from Guci!”
Mei Zimin swore that if he had known that Mei Lingling would fall head over heels for Xie Guci…
He wouldn’t have let the two meet.
Now, his daughter was pining after him, but Xie Guci only saw her as a little sister.
Seeing Mei Lingling’s constant dog-like behavior, Mei Zimin felt uncomfortable.
Mei Zimin said earnestly, “You’ll understand later, love isn’t important compared to other things.”
Mei Lingling clenched her fists, saying nothing.
Seeing this, Mei Zimin sighed deeply.
He knew Mei Lingling wouldn’t listen.
Girls in love are hopeless.
“Go back to your room.”
In the end, those were the only words he could muster.
Mei Zimin left, leaving Mei Lingling alone.
A few tears fell to the floor, Mei Lingling felt helpless.
She knew her feelings would happen, but she couldn’t stop them.
She knew that from now on, she couldn’t leave the Mei family.
Because the secret of her love was something that absolutely couldn’t be revealed.
“Brother Xie… what should I do?”
Mei Lingling hugged her knees, crouching on the ground, sobbing softly.
The sudden change left the girl at a loss.
…
“Cheers!!!”
At a barbecue restaurant in Xizhou, Su Jiang and his friends were happily toasting.
An Rou also had a little drink, her face flushed.
Fugui was lying nearby, nibbling on chicken wings.
Life was good.
The chicken wings were much better than the ones An Rou made.
“Hey, by the way, do you guys know about Su Jiang’s high school dark history?”
Xie Guci, eating grilled meat, suddenly brought it up.
“Xie Guci, shut up, no one’s treating you like a mute!”
As soon as he said that, Su Jiang immediately became anxious.
“You guys don’t know about the great feats Su Jiang accomplished back then, do you?”
Xie Guci completely ignored Su Jiang’s threats.
An Rou and Li Cai’s eyes lit up with interest, looking at Xie Guci.
“What dark history? Tell us, tell us!”
“Hee hee hee.” Xie Guci smiled mysteriously, glanced at Su Jiang, and then said, “We were in the same class back then, I was the class monitor, and Su Jiang was the vice monitor.”
“Hmm, then what?”
Shangguan Lu was also interested, looking at Xie Guci curiously.
Everyone except Su Jiang, who was burying his head in the grilled meat, seemed to have resigned himself to his fate.
“Then, to seize power, he got rid of the “vice” and volunteered to join the Student Disciplinary Committee, which was the busiest at the time.”
At this point, Xie Guci held back a smile and continued, “This guy, he smoked three cigarettes in a row before infiltrating our school’s smoking group, and as soon as he got in, he betrayed them.”
“Because he cracked the biggest smoking group in the school at the time, this little guy, in order to be an excellent class leader, even took over my position and became the class monitor.”
“Because of that incident, our stupid principal even publicly praised him and held a school anti-smoking event, burning cigarettes on the spot.”
“Tsk tsk tsk, that day, smoke filled the whole school, many people were choked, and they didn’t come to school the next day.”
“Our principal was also fired because of it.”
Xie Guci finished speaking, pointing at Su Jiang, “This kid, with one action back then, directly triggered a butterfly effect, causing the entire high school education in Jiangdu to be reformed.”
As soon as he said this, everyone’s eyes focused on Su Jiang.
Especially Li Cai and An Rou, they lived in Jiangdu, and as soon as Xie Guci brought up the incident, memories came flooding back.
“So, the anti-smoking incident back then, it was actually you who started it?”
Li Cai’s mouth twitched, he hadn’t forgotten that the Jiangdu Three Great Families were investigated by the Inspectorate because of the incident.
Because the smoke was so thick, it almost made people think they were burning some kind of banned substance.
The Three Great Families were immediately considered suspects.
They were finally cleared when it was found out that they were burning cigarettes.
Unexpectedly, the source of such a big incident that shook Jiangdu City back then was just because Su Jiang wanted to be class monitor?
“Bullshit, what does it have to do with me?”
Su Jiang, with his mouth full of meat, argued, “Back then, one of those smokers didn’t like me, and said he would ambush me after school.”
“So?”
“So… when I cracked their group, I just said he was the leader.”
Su Jiang swallowed the meat, nonchalantly, “I heard he was expelled later.”
Like you could have done something like that.
“What happened afterward? Wasn’t Su Jiang chased down?”
An Rou asked curiously, doing something like that would probably get you revenge, right?
Before Xie Guci could speak, Su Jiang confessed himself.
“Of course I was chased down, but I made an appointment to fight them beforehand, and then secretly called the police, and they were all caught.”
An Rou gave him a thumbs up.
That’s our guy.
The atmosphere was already heated, and everyone took another drink.
“Su Jiang, how about we go to Xizhou University tomorrow?”
Xie Guci suggested: “The national competition is being held at Xizhou University. You should go there to get a feel for it beforehand.”
“To avoid losing to me and blaming the unfamiliar environment.”
“That’s ridiculous.” Su Jiang snorted coldly, tilted his head and looked at Xie Guci, saying: “When have I ever lost to you?”
What Su Jiang said was true.
Because every time they took a math test, they both got full marks, making it impossible to tell who was better.
But privately, they both knew each other’s strength well. Their math skills were almost equal.
“Uh… I think we should put friendship first, and competition second.”
Shangguan Lu tried to smooth things over.
Unexpectedly, Su Jiang and Xie Guci shook their heads in unison.
“Friendship first, competition second, those are just excuses for the weak.” Su Jiang said.
“Exactly, the winner should ruthlessly humiliate the second-place finisher!” Xie Guci nodded in agreement.
Everyone covered their faces.
They now understood why these two could be best friends.
“Birds of a feather flock together.”
In the end, Xie Guci, as the host, paid the bill while going to the restroom.
This made An Rou and Li Cai feel a little embarrassed.
Because Su Jiang… ate way too much.
The barbecue cost 700 yuan, and Su Jiang alone ate at least 500 yuan worth.
“You’ve got a big appetite now, haven’t you?” Xie Guci asked curiously.
He remembered that Su Jiang didn’t eat much before.
An Rou also looked at Su Jiang, puzzled.
She couldn’t understand how Su Jiang could eat so much and still not gain weight.
She was a little envious.
“Hehehe, it’s a rare occasion for you to treat us, I have to eat my fill!”
Su Jiang laughed, and then at the entrance of the barbecue restaurant, the three of them and the cat said goodbye to Xie Guci.
They also made plans to visit Xi Zhou University with Xie Guci the next day.
“Su Jiang, carry me!”
After Xie Guci and Shangguan Lu left, An Rou directly lay on Su Jiang’s back.
“My head is a little dizzy…”
Hearing An Rou’s voice, which sounded a bit off, Su Jiang turned around and his mouth twitched.
She was… drunk?
