"Why?" I pretended to be stupid and said, "Do we have to pay respect to the Kitchen God first?" I picked up another piece of beef and threw it on the floor behind me. "Then pay respect to the Kitchen God first and hope that he will 'say good things in heaven and keep us safe in the world below'!"
The people around me burst into laughter, but I guess they didn't laugh at my humor, but because they thought I was so stupid. As expected, mocking remarks came from different places: "Wang Hao, can you be any more stupid?" "Wang Hao, you must have read too much and become stupid." "Wang Hao, why don't you kneel on the ground and kowtow to the Kitchen God?" "I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen such a stupid person."
Li Shanman next to her also showed a look of contempt and snorted loudly from her nose.
"No rules at all!" The sports committee member glared at me fiercely. Zou Yang immediately said, "What are you doing? We are all classmates, and we are all equal. It doesn't matter who picks up the chopsticks first. Come on, eat!" Then he threw me a look, meaning that he would always "protect" me. I looked up at the other classmates and saw that Sun Dafei, Zhang Weining, and Jiang Zirui were all eating with their heads down, without saying a word. And Lu Xiang, huddled in the corner, didn't even dare to raise his head.
"Wang Hao, you are late. According to the rules, you have to drink three cups as a punishment!" The physical education committee member attacked me again.
Zou Yang said quickly, "I'll do it for you." He was about to get a cup. "No need." I reached out to stop him, poured myself some wine, and drank three cups in a row. One cup was one ounce, and I drank three ounces in one gulp. This amount of wine was actually nothing. Probably because I was in a bad mood, I felt very uncomfortable in my stomach, so I said, "I'll go wash my hands." I stood up and walked out the door.
I heard someone behind me say, "Brother Yang, why are you always protecting Wang Hao today?" Zou Yang sighed and said, "We are all classmates, don't always pick on him. I was ignorant before, but now I have grown up, and I hope you will also..." I didn't hear the rest of the words clearly because I had already opened the door and left. The VIP building is so big that I walked around twice but couldn't find the toilet. I was a little dizzy, so I had to ask the waiter in the corridor for help: "Where is the bathroom?"
The waiter pointed to the side, and I looked up. The bathroom was right in front of me. I really didn't know why I was going back and forth. I went inside to use the toilet, and came out to wash my hands by the sink. The handwashing area is for both men and women, and men and women kept passing by here. I not only washed my hands, but also my face. I felt so uncomfortable in my heart that I wanted to cry. I didn't know why I came here, knowing that no one was kind to me... Yes, I came to see Li Shanman. Thinking of Li Shanman's indifferent expression and the action of moving the chair to the side, I felt uncomfortable as if I was stabbed by several knives.
It turns out that I still care about her, I can't fool myself. I thought I was calm, but I hadn't started to feel sad yet. I don't think Li Shanman is that pretty, but I was subconsciously telling myself not to care about her so much.
Even if she just smiled at me politely, as long as she treated me the same as other boys, I would feel much better. Li Shanman's indifference was more terrible than the ridicule of other classmates. I no longer liked her, but the pain still existed. I threw the beef on the ground, saying that I wanted to offer it to the Kitchen God. It turned out that I was acting crazy and stupid to cover up the sadness in my heart. I washed my face desperately, pretending that my tears did not flow out.
I felt a little dizzy. It turns out that it is really easy to get drunk when drinking when you are in a bad mood. I punched the water, splashing water everywhere. I put my head under the water pipe and rinsed myself, trying to sober myself up. After rinsing for a long time, I raised my head and looked at the mirror in front of me. In the mirror, behind me, there was a person standing.
The girl with short burgundy hair was staring at me from behind.
I thought I was dazzled and rubbed my eyes hard, but the girl was still standing clearly in the mirror.
My body was a little stiff, and I slowly turned my head and saw Zhou Mo.
We just stared at each other quietly, and time seemed to last a century.
"Wang Hao, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Mo asked softly.
Bad Youth
