"No!" Brick said decisively, "I won't marry her!"
I asked again, "Don't you like her?" Brick answered without even thinking, "Of course not!" I said seriously, "You'd better think about it carefully before answering this question." Brick stopped talking and seemed to be lost in thought, but in less than ten seconds, he immediately turned over on the bed, sat cross-legged, clasped his hands together, and silently chanted "Amitabha".
I looked at the other people in the dormitory and we all nodded at the same time, finalizing our battle plan for the evening.
Xu Xiaokai, who was sleeping on the lower bunk of Brick, said, "Brother Brick, how about we switch beds tonight? I want to try what it feels like to be on the upper bunk." This was not an excessive request, so Brick readily agreed and went to the lower bunk wrapped in a quilt.
Late at night, everything was quiet, the dormitory was dark, and Brick's snoring was rhythmic. I stretched out my hand, snapped my fingers in the air, then sat up, put on my shoes and went downstairs. At the same time, Lei Yu and the others also put on their shoes and went downstairs, and everyone gathered in front of Brick's bed quietly. At a gesture from me, everyone rushed forward and held Brick down with all their hands and feet. Brick woke up immediately and shouted in fear: "What are you doing?!" Although he struggled hard, he still couldn't move.
I took the champion robe and, with the cooperation of everyone, slowly put it on Brick. Brick looked at his clothes in horror and continued to shout: "What are you doing? Why do you want me to wear this?" I lowered my voice and said: "We are entrusted by the country to take a time machine back to the Ming Dynasty to do something. You are a champion, don't let it be exposed!"
After hearing what we said, Brick was silent for a while, and let us put clothes on him. Then he said, "Wang Hao, do you think I'm stupid?" I said, "You're not stupid, you're very smart. You have to worship tomorrow, whether you want to or not!" Then I took the thick hemp rope that I had prepared in advance and tied Brick's hands and feet tightly. Then everyone went back to bed to rest. Brick lay on the bed and yelled, saying that we were a bunch of conscienceless people who would be punished by God. He kept talking and talking, making it impossible for us to sleep. I stood up again, took out a sock from under Brick's pillow, and shook it in front of his face: "Brother Brick, if you keep talking, I'll put this thing in your mouth." Brick stopped talking immediately and lay on the bed very obediently.
I went back to bed to rest. After a while, I heard Brick snoring, so I guess he was fast asleep.
The next morning, we carried the brick to the classroom. We met many students along the way, all of whom looked stunned. We didn't care about other people's eyes, and carried the brick tied up and wearing the red robe of the champion through the campus. Anyway, we were not embarrassed. The weather today was not very good, the temperature suddenly dropped a lot, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, as if a heavy snow was brewing.
But the weather couldn't affect our mood. When we got to the classroom, I asked Brick to sit behind Ye Zhan, then I took out Brick's smelly socks, shook them in front of him, and said, "Don't make a fuss, or you know the consequences." Brick's expression was rather dull, he didn't feel angry, nor did he feel happy, probably because he couldn't react to the current situation.
Since the beginning of morning self-study, people have been coming to visit Brick, including Wang Hai, Zhou Qiangqiang, Cao Hongbin, and Yang Mengying's little sisters. As soon as they came into the classroom, they surrounded Brick and looked at him non-stop. They all had smiles on their faces and kept saying, "Congratulations to the groom, congratulations to the groom." Brick didn't dare to say anything. He glared at these people, using his eyes to express his will to resist.
I told them to come after the second class, and that it must be lively by then. Everyone said no problem, and then they dispersed. After the second class, everyone really came, including Zhou Mo and Bai Qing. Everyone was talking about it, and someone asked, "Where is the bride? Why hasn't she come yet?" The scorpion girl said, "She's still upstairs putting on makeup. She will be down soon."
This sentence made everyone laugh. In everyone's opinion, this was just a harmless joke and farce, but everyone thought it was quite interesting to see Yang Mengying putting on makeup so seriously and Brick being tied up and looking angry.
Zhou Mo looked out the window and said, "What a pity, the weather is bad. It might snow soon."
I said, "It's good to have snow. After Brick and Yang Mengying have finished their wedding ceremony, they can go outside and walk in the snow. This symbolizes the meaning of 'living together till old age'!" As soon as this suggestion was made, everyone applauded and said that this was the way to go. But Brick's face became even uglier, and he fell headfirst onto the table, which made everyone laugh again.
While we were waiting for Yang Mengying, another incident was happening in the school's infirmary...
Hou Shengshuo woke up slowly, his vision was still a little blurry, and he vaguely saw a fat figure sitting beside the bed, peeling an apple with a fruit knife, and the long apple peel almost touched the ground. Hou Shengshuo sighed softly and looked up at the white ceiling above his head. Hearing the sigh, He Juan hurriedly said, "Boss, are you awake?"
Hou Shengshuo nodded and asked, "How long have I been unconscious?" This time, he felt that he had slept for a very long time. In his dream, Brick was always holding a brick, coming from all directions. He had no way to retreat or hide, and could only accept the beating of bricks one by one. In his dream, Brick had become a complete nightmare.
"One day and one night." He Juan answered his question, and then said: "But the doctor said don't worry, there won't be any sequelae. Brick was very measured in his actions. After all, he has been playing with this thing for many years."
