Chapter 10: Disgusting Things "Brother He is a straight man, he...
"Shangshang, I'm here. Sorry, sorry, there was a traffic jam today and I kept you waiting for so long."
Lin Zhuoran closed the car door and hurriedly walked to Shi Shang.
"No, I just arrived too." Shi Shang answered softly.
"Let's go." Lin Zhuoran squeezed his friend's delicate arm and said jokingly, "Let's buy some painting supplies first, and then pick out gifts this afternoon. Our schedule is packed today."
Shi Shang: "Okay."
Their profession consumes a lot of painting materials. Lin Zhuoran is fickle and loves to try new painting tools. Whenever he has time, he goes shopping at the nearby art mall.
Shi Shang had almost used up her painting supplies, so she took advantage of the weekend to come here with Lin Zhuoran, and then went to a nearby shopping mall to pick out gifts in the afternoon.
This mall is affiliated with the largest shopping mall in City A. The art materials here are of high quality and expensive. Even a piece of ordinary sketch paper is priced much higher than outside.
Shi Shang, who has always been frugal, did not worry too much about the price. She rarely spent money lavishly and spent three to five days' part-time job expenses just to buy a few cans of imported white paint.
After walking around for a few rounds, Lin Zhuoran also gained a lot and paid with his card quickly and efficiently.
The mall provides delivery service. The two people picked out what they needed, filled in the address, and left empty-handed.
Five hundred yuan slipped away from the balance in a flash, leaving only three hundred yuan for Lu Tinghe's gift budget.
Shi Shang touched the balance of her savings with a painful feeling, and planned to eat only the cheapest vegetable salad for lunch.
Lin Zhuoran saw the heartache in his friend's eyes, said nothing, and took his friend to a roadside stall.
Two large servings of fried noodles, without meat, eggs or vegetables, only cost 20 yuan in total.
They originally wanted to take the subway to another nearby shopping mall to choose gifts, but the weather was not good and it suddenly started raining halfway.
The rain was pouring down heavily, and the taxi was too crowded. The two of them didn't bring an umbrella, so they had to take shelter under the glass plank road.
Bean-sized raindrops fell on the transparent glass top, making a ticking sound.
After Lin Zhuoran finished his lunch, he cleaned up the garbage. He caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye and suddenly touched Shi Shang's elbow.
"Shangshang, look quickly! That's Lu's branch in City A. It's the tallest and largest building."
He winked at Shi Shang and said, "It's worth it for us to be able to go to the same university with Prince Lu."
"Hmm," Shi Shang didn't understand and followed Lin Zhuoran's gaze.
A gigantic behemoth came into view, standing proudly in the center of the business district, visibly dozens of stories taller than the surrounding buildings.
"Lu family"? Lu——
Lu Tinghe.
Shi Shang's eyes suddenly widened as she looked back at Lin Zhuoran, "Are you talking about Senior Lu?"
"That's right," Lin Zhuoran raised his eyebrows and continued, "Haicheng Lu Group is China's leading top group, with businesses covering multiple sectors in the country."
Lin Zhuoran looked at the tall buildings in the distance with envy. "It is said that since Grandpa Lu Tinghe's generation, the Lu family has been a wealthy family among wealthy families..."
Shi Shang was a little surprised. He only knew that Lu Tinghe came from a wealthy family, but he didn't expect that not only was his family wealthy, but it was also so prominent.
Lu Tinghe always gives people the impression of being gentle and easy-going, like a spring breeze.
It seems that no matter what mistakes others make, he will not get angry, and he does not have the temper or arrogance of a young master at all.
Lin Zhuoran: "Plus, Mr. Lu and his wife are in a free relationship, which is rare among wealthy families. There haven't been any scandals in all these years. Mr. Lu's wife was also a very famous star in the past. Um... what was her name?"
He pondered for a while, then helplessly spread his hands. "It's been too long, I can't remember. I only know that after she married Mr. Lu, she faded out of the entertainment industry. She should be living a happy life now."
The sound of the rain grew louder and louder, and Shi Shang's thoughts drifted away.
I couldn't help but happily count Lu Tinghe's advantages.
He has outstanding abilities, comes from a prominent family, is easy-going, kind and enthusiastic.
A gifted child like Lu Tinghe is simply perfect.
High quality and delicious, worthy of being the SSS carefully selected by Succubus.
Half an hour later, the rain finally stopped and the two rushed to their destination.
After shopping in the mall for a long time, Shi Shang finally picked out a satisfactory gift in a chain brand store.
Lin Zhuoran looked at what he was carrying, frowned hesitantly, and asked, "Shangshang, are you sure you want to give this to Senior Lu?"
"Well," Shi Shang glanced at the things in her hand, then looked at Lin Zhuoran and asked confusedly, "Is there any problem?"
"It's okay...as long as you feel it's good." Thinking of the last gift that made Shi Shang satisfied, Lin Zhuoran felt extremely complicated.
Compared to custom banners, at least it's... practical, right?
What if the Prince Lu is so simple and unpretentious in private?
*
After the weekend, Lu Tinghe still did not accept his friend request.
Shi Shang then placed the wrapped gift on the table, intending to give it to Lu Tinghe together with the shirt later.
On Monday, Shi Shang had no classes in the evening and no part-time shifts in the cafeteria, so she returned to the dormitory at five o'clock.
After finishing the copying assignment for the part-time job group, Shi Shang stretched, lay on the table, took out her mobile phone and checked the Notes APP.
Big data still hasn't been properly adjusted. The colorful videos are of poor quality. The more you watch them, the more boring they become. It's hard to arouse the appetite of a succubus.
My chest was filled with an indescribable irritability, stuffy and a little bloated.
Shi Shang thought he was just watching too many videos and was feeling sick, so she put down her phone to charge and went to wash up first.
I got a change of clothes and just as I was putting my slippers back on from the last step, the dormitory door suddenly opened from the outside.
Shi Shang looked up and saw Jiang Yao and Wen Cong coming in one after another.
His two roommates were students in the school's base class. Not only were their coursework heavy, but the experimental requirements were also very high. They often returned to the dormitory very late because they were too busy.
But it was just past seven o'clock, which was too early compared to their usual return time.
As soon as Jiang Yao entered the door, he noticed Shi Shang's gaze. He raised the bag in his hand and laughed.
"Come on, come on, eat my skewers. My experiment was a great success today, so I have to celebrate. Hahahaha."
He strode to his desk, opened the plastic bag, and the smell of barbecued skewers immediately filled the entire dormitory.
Shi Shang's eyes lit up immediately. She put down the clothes in her hands and took out a small basket from her drawer.
The basket is filled with various small bags of snacks such as jelly, spicy strips, potato chips, etc., which cannot fill my stomach and can only satisfy my cravings occasionally.
Shi Shang placed the snack basket on Jiang Yao's desk and said in a soft voice, "Congratulations, senior! These are the snacks I bought. Let's eat them together."
Jiang Yao was deeply moved. He covered his heart with his hand and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Look, this is a good roommate in China, this is true roommate friendship!"
Wen Cong snorted, not wanting to look at him, and continued to unwrap Shi Shang's snacks.
Jiang Yao took out another plastic bag from his black backpack, which contained two bottles of ice-cold beer. Due to the high temperature outside, a layer of ice had condensed on the bottles.
He patted his beer bottle with a grin, "It's worth it that I brought the bag with me today. I managed to hide it from the dorm manager downstairs."
Taking out a bottle opener from the drawer, Jiang Yao skillfully opened the beer bottle and poured the beer into two glasses.
Jiang Yao: "Wen Xiao and I will have a few drinks. Shi Shang, you can't drink, so we won't pour you any."
Shi Shang waved her hands repeatedly: "Yeah, senior, don't worry about me."
The grilled squid in the cafeteria was delicious, fresh, and big in size. Shi Shang had a small mouth, so she took small bites of it, and her cheeks were bulging from eating so much.
After downing the ice-cold beer, Jiang Yao let out a hearty "ah" and opened up his mouth, pouring out his grievances to the two of them. "After three whole months, my thesis is finally getting some progress. Do you know how much illegal work I did for Chen Baopi?"
"I have to get up early and go to bed late every day, and even have to take care of his son's third-grade homework! Do I have it easy?"
Wen Cong said calmly: "At least there is one benefit."
Jiang Yao asked curiously: "What?"
Wen Cong: "There is one more person on the blacklist of master's and doctoral supervisors."
Jiang Yao was speechless: "...Haha, thank you."
Shi Shang sat quietly in her seat, eating while listening to the conversation between her two roommates, and was amused from time to time.
With these two around, you don’t have to spend money to listen to crosstalk.
Jiang Yao took a sip of beer and suddenly said with emotion, "This time it went so smoothly, thanks to Brother He's help."
"If Brother He hadn't gone on a business trip to City S, I would have paid a small fortune to treat everyone to a good meal."
Catching the key words, Shi Shang paused in his eating, put the skewer back on the plate, and took out a tissue to wipe the oil stains from the corners of his mouth.
A clear and gentle voice asked curiously, "Senior, are you familiar with Senior Lu?"
Jiang Yao said uncertainly: "It's okay, I think it's cooked."
"You know, Brother He is one of the most talented people in University A. We can only talk to him because we are roommates."
"But we have indeed received a lot of favors from Brother He." Jiang Yao said with a grin.
"Shi Shang, you just got here and you don't know. Every holiday, we in 508 receive the most anonymous gifts. There are so many that they can be piled up into a small hill. Flowers, grass, chocolates, etc. Brother He won't accept them, and we can't find anyone to return them."
"Besides, it would be a shame to throw away such a kind gift. In the end, we had no choice but to keep it and eat it ourselves."
Jiang Yao frowned and said, "Have you seen those pots of succulents on the balcony? They were all given to us by others. Wen Cong and I take good care of them."
Ah...really?
Shi Shang was stunned by the trick.
Wen Cong held his forehead with his hand, knowing that Jiang Yao was starting to act drunken again.
He cleared his cough and said, "Brother He is a very good person."
Because of the alcohol, Wen Cong, who has always been taciturn, also began to want to talk.
Wen Cong took a sip of his wine and said slowly, "During the first semester of my sophomore year, I formed a team and planned to compete in the WIO National Competition. Halfway through the competition, someone in the team decided to withdraw from the competition."
"The project was at a critical stage at the time. Everyone had a heavy workload and there was no replacement. I was ready to give up. But in the end, I couldn't give up and tried to contact Brother He."
Wen Cong's eyes were filled with sincere gratitude and admiration. "To be honest, I didn't hold out much hope myself. Our dorm had just been reorganized, and I wasn't familiar with He Ge."
"Besides, although there is some overlap between computer science and finance, our topic doesn't involve finance. I didn't expect Brother He to know how to do this, and he even sent me the processed data so quickly."
He sighed, "Maybe this is what genius is. Our group won the provincial gold medal in that national competition. If it weren't for Brother He, I'm afraid the project would have died halfway."
Shi Shang was amazed. Lu Tinghe was indeed a great man among thousands.
It seems that I will be able to make good friends with him easily.
His eyes became brighter and brighter, as if he was looking at a thin-muscled young man with angel wings, who was smiling and waving at him.
Holding onto the edge of the chair with both hands, Shi Shang suppressed her inner excitement, blinked her big eyes, and humbly asked: "Actually, Senior Lu helped me a lot before, and I also want to thank him."
"Is there anything that Senior Lu particularly likes or dislikes?"
The mentor said that only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
Only by treating the disease with the right medicine can you achieve success.
Jiang Yao: "Brother He is not the kind of person who cares about trivial matters. If you really want to thank him, please treat him to a meal."
"As for the things I hate, you've really stumped me." Jiang Yao held his chin and thought for a moment, deep in thought, "Let me think about it."
Wen Cong glanced at him and said coldly, "Last semester, you were in the classroom working on your paper. You stayed up late and forgot to bring your access card. You called me and woke me up that night."
"Oh oh oh, I remember!" Jiang Yao clasped his hands together.
His expression instantly turned serious, and he coughed twice and said, "Brother He probably really has something he hates. As far as I can remember, Brother He only had a cold face in public that time."
Shi Shang leaned forward, leaning against the back of the chair, without blinking, and asked curiously, "What is it?"
Jiang Yao paused for two seconds and spoke word by word:
"Brother He is a straight man, he is homophobic."
The author has something to say:
----------------------
Later, Shi Shang listed Lu Tinghe's shortcomings in her little notebook:
① The frequency is high, and the demon will continue to eat until it is full, without considering the demon's body
② I spent too much money, and several times I suddenly got scared when I was outside.
③ He is very strong and can be picked up with one hand like a little chicken.
It's obviously thin muscle, he chose it on purpose, it shouldn't be like this...
It was followed by a sharp linking sentence, "Baby, try it more and you will know."
It's the end of the month, can readers give me some nutrient solution [Please][Pity][Please]
