"Then you must be under more pressure," Liu Wangxue ate one skewer herself, while holding the other one up to feed Xu Qingsong, "Why haven't I seen you go crazy before?"
Tao Huayu was flipping the skewers and laughed out loud: "He's crazy? Even if the world is ending, it's impossible! He has always been very calm since he was a child. I've never seen him angry."
Du Yunkai held a glass of juice and nodded: "Indeed, no matter what he faces, he is as steady as an old dog."
Xu Qingsong squinted at him: "No, are you praising or scolding me?"
Liu Wangxue recalled the photo he saw at Tao Huayu's house when they were digging lotus roots in the summer. He drew a bamboo stick between him and Xu Qingsong and said, "No, you two had a fight in the lotus field because of your secret crush on that school beauty."
Several employees who came to get the skewers heard it and immediately started to make a noise: "Oh, the boss has a crush on her!"
"She's still the school beauty!"
"Sister-in-law, you know the truth, can you tell us?"
The one in Xu Qingsong's hand was vegetarian and already roasted, so he stuffed them all in front of them: "Go, go, go, wait for your roast suckling pig."
A few people booed, took the skewers, took the drinks and left.
Wenxi reminded Liu Wangxue: "You remembered it wrong. She is not the school beauty, but the class beauty."
Liu Wangxue: "Oh, the class beauty, yes."
"And I was the one who started the fight," Tao Huayu smiled, and turned to ask Xu Qingsong, "We've been friends for so many years, and I've always been curious about what kind of thing could make you so furious?"
Xu Qingsong took another handful and grilled them: "You also said that I am emotionally stable. People with stable emotions generally don't get angry."
Tao Huayu looked disappointed.
Li Yu gnawed on the chicken wings with an admiring look on his face: "Brother Qingsong, I want to learn from you! How can I control my temper?"
Wenxi stuffed a glass of juice into his hand: "Do you still need to control your temper? I think what you need is not control, but flammability and explosion."
Tao Huayu divided the roasted ones in his hand, and Du Yunkai picked up a skewer and handed it to Wenxi: "Don't lead the children astray."
Liu Wangxue took two skewers and held one up to Xu Qingsong, saying, "I also don't think you need to control yourself. Xiaoyu, your temper is as soft as cotton candy."
Li Yu sighed: "No, I had a fight at school last week..."
"Huh?" Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Li Yu. It was really hard to imagine that such a weak little carp would one day fight with others.
Tao Huayu felt that it must not be Li Yu's fault: "Who hit you? Tell me and I'll find someone to beat him up. I guarantee he won't be able to get out of bed for three days."
Li Yu held the cup and scratched his cheek with the other hand holding the bamboo stick: "Was it a fight, or was I the first to start it?"
Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong looked at each other. They had never expected this.
Wenxi patted his head. She was protective. Although the cause was unknown, she felt that it was definitely not Li Yu's fault, and she appreciated Li Yu's behavior: "That's good. Our Xiaoyu has made progress!"
Du Yunkai took her hand away and asked Li Yu: "What exactly is it about?"
Tao Huayu brought over a bunch of raw meat skewers and put them hard on the grill: "Tell me, I'll support you. Why didn't you tell me earlier when you were bullied?"
Li Yu hesitated a little: "That's it, Chi Yiming."
Tao Huayu knew this person: "Ha, it's him! I told you at the beginning that this kind of person must be taught a lesson. I told you to call the police but you were too soft-hearted. If I had known earlier, I should have found someone to beat him up and make him behave himself. Let's see if he dares to mess with you again."
"Who is it?" Liu Wangxue and the others asked together.
Tao Huayu said: "The miniature landscape model that Xiaoyu made for the landscape design competition last year was destroyed. It was this guy who did it."
The destruction of the miniature landscape was not discovered until the day of the competition. Since the competition was important, Li Yu had to rush to the stadium. Tao Huayu found out about it after the competition. He advised Li Yu to call the police directly or report it to the school and ask the teachers to help him investigate. Li Yu nodded and agreed, but within two days, he told him that he wanted to forget it and would not pursue the matter.
It was easy to find out who had tampered with the miniature landscape. Professor Zhou, Li Yu's instructor at the time of the competition and now his graduate project instructor, set his sights on several of his roommates from the beginning, and talked to them one by one. After a few harsh words, the "culprit" could not withstand the psychological pressure and revealed his true colors.
It was Li Yu's lower bunk bedder, his name was Chi Yiming, and he had a pretty good relationship with Li Yu on a daily basis.
Professor Zhou seems gentle, but he is a man who cannot tolerate any sand in his eyes. He called Li Yu over and suggested calling the police, but how to deal with it in the end depends on Li Yu himself.
Then the matter somehow spread like wildfire and even reached the ears of the college leaders. For the sake of the college's "reputation", the leaders advised Li Yu to settle the matter privately.
Li Yu and Chi Yiming can be considered friends. Chi Yiming's grades are also good. The two often go to the library to study together. Because of their similar family situations, they also have a sense of sympathy and mutual understanding.
After the incident, Chi Yiming privately begged Li Yu to let him go, saying that he had no choice but to do it. Li Yu immediately understood that he was being instigated, but he refused to say anything when asked: "No, no, it was me who did it. I was jealous of you and I was obsessed with it. Li Yu, please let me go, I really know I was wrong. If you call the police, the school will record it and my life will be ruined! I still have to take the postgraduate entrance examination..."
Li Yu softened his heart and went to Professor Zhou, saying that they should just forget about it: "He is quite pitiful. Something happened in his family some time ago. His sister had a car accident and had to have her leg amputated. The follow-up treatment will also cost money. I guess..."
Professor Zhou understood what was left unsaid. He sighed, "The misfortunes in life are not a reason to do bad things. Since you have made a mistake, you should be punished accordingly. Alas, Xiaoyu, you are too soft-hearted and you are the one who suffers."
This matter did not end up being unresolved. For the sake of "fairness", the hospital leaders gave Chi Yiming a warning.
Wenxi was so angry after hearing this that he poked Li Yu on the forehead and said, "Look, your teacher has made it so clear, why did you let him go?" Can you please not be so saintly!
Du Yunkai took her hand away again: "Be gentle."
Liu Wangxue suddenly thought of a possibility: "Xiaoyu, the miniature landscape you gave me, could it be the entry for the competition?"
Everyone looked at Li Yu: "Really?"
Tao Huayu answered for him: "What else can we do? It's so well made, we can't just throw it away, right?"
Li Yu scratched his face embarrassedly: "Sister Xuxu, you don't mind, right? I just thought it was a pity to throw it away, so after the game I repaired a part of it and kept it at home. At that time, I thought it would look good at your place..."
Liu Wangxue hugged him and said, "Silly Xiaoyu, why should I mind? I like it very much, really!"
Li Yu felt even more embarrassed and a little guilty. This was not a perfect work. He just wanted to make the best use of it and gave it away casually. He did not expect that he would have so many interactions with Liu Wangxue and Wenxi later. At that time, Liu Wangxue transferred 3,000 yuan to him and directly transferred it to his bank card. He felt that he should not accept it, but he did not know how to refuse, so he asked Tao Huayu, but Tao Huayu asked him to accept it...
Liu Wangxue threw the bamboo stick into the trash can and changed the subject: "Then why did you fight with him last week? What happened again?"
Xu Qingsong then asked: "Do you know who ordered him to do this?"
Li Yu nodded: "It was Fu Lei who ordered him to do so."
Tao Huayu also knew this person. Li Yu had a conflict with him before going to Country Y and told Tao Huayu about it during their conversation.
Tao Huayu then explained to everyone: "He is also a classmate of his. Since freshman year, he has regarded Xiaoyu as an imaginary enemy. He is not a good person."
Then he said to Li Yu: "When you told me that, I felt that the miniature landscape thing was probably related to this kid." (End of this chapter)
