The person next to Xu Yingcai nudged him with his elbow, "Hey? Are we going to Chunmai Noodle Shop for lunch too? I really didn't know it was owned by Fu Linchuan before, he's really amazing."
Xu Yingcai felt nauseous. "I'm not going. I don't like to eat there."
"Didn't you say it was delicious before? Why don't you like it now?"
Xu Yingcai frowned. "I just don't like to eat it right now."
The classmate didn't say anything more and went to ask others if they wanted to go eat together.
Xu Yingcai's classmates leaned over and said, "Xu Yingcai, it's really great that you share a dorm with someone like Fu Linchuan. I even want to switch dorms with you. It's really not easy to make friends with someone like that. Xu Yingcai, you're so lucky to be assigned to the same dorm as Fu Linchuan."
Xu Yingcai clenched his fists tightly.
All he could hear were the words "Fu Linchuan," which made him extremely irritable.
He endured the long lunch break until get out of class ended, but he still didn't know where to go.
He didn't want to go back to the dormitory and see Fu Linchuan.
He was also afraid that the police would come looking for him.
I'm even more afraid he'll be expelled from school.
Zhao Guangjie caught up with him, "Xu Yingcai, didn't you sleep last night? Why are you so absent-minded today?"
Xu Yingcai didn't know how to tell Zhao Yingjie about his situation.
It's best if no one knows about this.
However, he is now unsure whether Fu Linchuan truly knows.
"I had a nightmare last night and couldn't fall asleep after that," Xu Yingcai explained.
Zhao Guangjie said, "Were you scared by Fu Linchuan? He's really arrogant. I don't know how he got there, but the newspaper actually went to an orphanage to interview him and even gave him some free meat to report on it extensively. What's so interesting about such a trivial matter?"
“Yes, yes,” Xu Yingcai echoed, “You could say he was just lucky.”
Zhao Guangjie said, "I think so too. Yesterday I heard that someone got sick from eating at his shop, and I thought his shop was going to close down. I didn't expect it to come back to life. This kind of luck is not something ordinary people have."
Xu Yingcai held the book without saying a word.
"Where are you going to eat? They all said they wanted to eat noodles," Zhao Guangjie asked.
Xu Yingcai thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the cafeteria. It's cheaper. We don't have that much money to eat noodles."
Especially the braised pork noodles and pork chop noodles, I wanted to eat them as soon as I went there, but they were so expensive, I couldn't afford them.
After finishing their meal at the cafeteria, Zhao Guangjie and Xu Yingcai did not return to their dormitory.
Xu Yingcai made an excuse, saying he needed to buy ink for fountain pens, and the two of them headed out.
As Zhao Guangjie walked, he saw a military vehicle parked by the roadside, and an older soldier was talking to Fu Linchuan with a smile.
He tugged at Xu Yingcai's sleeve. "Xu Yingcai, look."
Xu Yingcai looked in the direction Zhao Guangjie was pointing and squinted his eyes as well.
"That soldier is so old, he must be a high-ranking officer, right?" Zhao Guangjie muttered. "Why does he seem to know Fu Linchuan so well?"
Xu Yingcai couldn't resist his curiosity, so he and Zhao Guangjie found a place to hide.
Fan Xinli came here today specifically to see Fu Linchuan.
Seeing that no one was around, he brought up the matter of wanting to get refrigerated trucks with Fu Linchuan.
Fu Linchuan recalled that refrigerated trucks were quite common in his previous life.
"Uncle Fan, this is feasible. Your idea is really excellent."
Fan Xinli smiled and said, "I was inspired by you. I think this might be feasible, so I came to ask you. If you also think it's a good idea, see when you have time, I'll come pick you up, and we can discuss it together."
Fu Linchuan thought about his schedule and said, "Uncle Fan, how about the day after tomorrow at noon? I don't have any classes the afternoon after tomorrow."
"Okay, it's settled then. I'll pick you up the day after tomorrow at noon."
Xu Yingcai and Zhao Guangjie both heard clearly that Fu Linchuan called this officer "Uncle".
Watching Fu Linchuan leave, Xu Yingcai leaned against a tree, looking even more listless.
Zhao Guangjie exclaimed repeatedly, "My God, what is Fu Linchuan's background? It seems that his cooperation with the military last year was real; he has someone behind him."
Xu Yingcai now realizes that he was incredibly stupid.
He prided himself on being a smart person, but when he came to university, he misjudged people and offended someone like Fu Linchuan.
He now firmly believes one thing: with Fu Linchuan's background, finding out that he had contact with Chen Fa would be incredibly easy.
"Xu Yingcai, it seems we need to cultivate a good relationship with Fu Linchuan from now on. His background is truly extraordinary. Even if we are assigned jobs after graduation, Fu Linchuan will definitely be a valuable connection for us."
Zhao Guangjie was muttering to himself, but Xu Yingcai was too exhausted to respond.
"Xu Yingcai, why aren't you saying anything?"
Xu Yingcai twitched the corners of his mouth. He wished he could turn back time, then he would definitely not have done those things.
He must have tried to build a good relationship with Fu Linchuan from the very first day of school.
Look at the other people in the dorm; see how much they've benefited.
He now understood why someone with Luo Jingtong's background could get along so well with Fu Linchuan; they were simply kindred spirits.
He's the real clown.
"It's nothing, I just feel like I was too stupid before."
Zhao Guangjie advised, "It's okay, there are still three years of university left, what's the big deal? We can just get along well with Fu Linchuan in the future, I don't think he's a petty person."
Xu Yingcai remained silent for a moment before following Zhao Guangjie.
He wondered if he should apologize to Fu Linchuan now, would there still be room for maneuver?
After buying my things, I had to go back to my dorm.
When Xu Yingcai returned, he found that Fu Linchuan had not come back yet, and he didn't know where he had gone.
Xu Yingcai didn't say anything and just came out of the dormitory.
He waited at the dormitory entrance, pacing back and forth, until he finally saw Fu Linchuan walking this way.
Without thinking, Xu Yingcai walked over and said, "Fu Linchuan, I...I have something to say to you."
Fu Linchuan raised an eyebrow. "If you want to talk to me about bribing Chen Fa to kill me, then there's no need to mention it. I don't accept your apology."
Xu Yingcai was dumbfounded, "Why...why?"
Fu Linchuan had accepted apologies from others before.
"Xu Yingcai, you're too shrewd. You don't even realize you've done anything wrong. I've forgiven you this time, but next time you'll be resentful and try to harm me again. Do you think I'm crazy for not pursuing this matter this time, only to wait for you to screw me over again next time? Besides, with your character, you don't deserve to be at Tsinghua or Peking University!"
