Chapter 40 Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
After the party,
Yu Sheng picked up his phone and called Gangzi. His voice was serious and steady: "Please take good care of the people leading the riot in Jiaobei. If you can appease the others, use money. If you can't appease them, you know what to do... You only have three days."
"Okay, Brother Yu." Gangzi replied loyally.
At night, I was alone in the villa when my phone suddenly rang. It was a text message from He Qingyun: "Qianqian, I want to meet you."
Seeing this message, tears immediately flowed uncontrollably. I quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes, then, with trembling hands, typed a reply on the screen: "There's no need for us to meet anymore, Qingyun. You'd better stay away from Gu Yucheng." After typing this, I hesitated for a moment, finally deleting the reminder to be careful of Gu Yucheng at the end, and sent it.
Because I was afraid that he would misunderstand that I still cared about him, and that our relationship had reached the point where it had to be completely severed. I couldn't let He Qingyun be hurt by Yu Sheng because of me.
Soon, He Qingyun sent another message: "Qianqian, I'm sorry, it's all my fault that I didn't protect you well."
I looked at the message quietly for a long time without replying, then silently clicked the delete key. Tears filled my eyes again, blurring my vision.
The next day, during physical education class, the sun was shining brightly. Gu Yucheng, Xu Fei, and Hu Xin were sweating profusely on the basketball court, showcasing their nimble physiques. Their every move attracted the attention of many girls, including Chen Xue and Wang Chenxi, two young admirers. Their faces were filled with happy smiles, their eyes sparkling with admiration for their boyfriends.
I sat alone on the grass, drawing circles out of boredom. I kept thinking about He Qingyun's ever-gentle smile, a stark contrast to Yu Sheng's quick temper.
I couldn't help but fall into deep thought, thinking that when I take the postgraduate entrance examination and apply to a university farther away, I can stay away from the devil Yu Sheng and start my life anew.
At this time, a tall boy came over and handed me a letter and a box of chocolates with a red face.
Before I could react, he stuffed the letter and chocolate into my arms and ran away.
Wang Chenxi said loudly: "Qianqian, he seems to like you!"
"Who is he?" I looked at the letter and chocolate in my arms in confusion.
Chen Xue said, "He seems to be from the class next door, his name is... Lu Wan."
"Qianqian, you are so beautiful and attractive, it's normal for someone to like you." Wang Chenxi came over and wanted to check my chocolate.
"Do you know him? Please return the letter and chocolate to him for me. I...I can't have a boyfriend."
With a determined expression, I gave the letter and chocolate to Wang Chenxi.
"Don't reject me so bluntly. Lu Wan is the president of our school's student union and is a very good student. Take a look at the letter first. After all, he is very sincere!" Wang Chenxi said as he threw the letter to me again.
"No, he and I are not suitable." I lowered my eyes and refused directly.
When I heard the word "good at studying", the face of He Qingyun came to my mind.
"Qianqian, you have someone you like! Stop arguing with her and return this letter and chocolate to Lu Wan." Chen Xue pulled Wang Chenxi away.
I had a rare moment of quiet time, and when I looked up, I saw Gu Yucheng staring at me.
Why does he always look at me?
I was just thinking about it when my cell phone rang.
Yu Sheng sent me a WeChat message: "I can't pick you up today. Assistant Liu has other plans. You can take a taxi home tonight. I will be home later."
He then transferred money to me: 888 yuan.
"Take the money and buy something you want to eat."
"I understand! Thank you!" I clicked to receive the red envelope.
Chen Xue came over and asked, "Qianqian, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Are you free tonight? I want to invite you and Wang Chenxi to dinner." Mainly because I don't want to go back to the villa alone.
"Okay! I have time. Can I ask Xu Fei to come along?" Chen Xue asked with a red face.
"Okay, then let Wang Chenxi call Hu Xin too!" I said to Chen Xue.
…
In a small WeChat group of six people.
"Meet at Shengcheng Yerenshan BBQ Restaurant in the evening..." Wang Chenxi sent it directly in the group.
Hu Xin quickly replied: OK, wife.
Xu Fei replied: OK
Chen Xue replied: OK.
I stared at my phone and fell into deep thought, wondering if Gu Yucheng would go.
Gu Yucheng replied: Let’s split the bill together. I don’t like being treated by others.
Everyone replied together.
I picked up my phone and sent a WeChat message to Yu Sheng. "I'm having dinner with my classmates tonight. I'll be back after dinner."
Yu Sheng has never replied to me...Except when he is busy with work, he usually replies to me within seconds.
We want a private room at the Savage Mountain BBQ restaurant.
We sat together, eating barbecue and chatting. Hu Xin and Wang Chenxi were especially funny and livened up the atmosphere.
Xu Fei and Chen Xue were also very sweet. Gu Yucheng and I were silent and ate the barbecue in silence.
"Qianqian, I returned the letter and chocolate to Lu Wan. He was very sad... He also asked me to ask why I rejected him?" Wang Chenxi looked at me and said.
Chen Xue coughed and said, "If you don't like the relationship, you can't force it."
"I don't want to be in love," I explained, picking up the beef skewers and eating them.
Gu Yucheng was concentrating on eating the skewers.
Xu Fei sensed the awkwardness and quickly changed the subject. "It's almost the end of the year. Where are you planning to celebrate the New Year?"
Everyone started chatting lively again.
"I'm going to the bathroom." I said with a smile.
"I'm going too." Chen Xue also stood up with me and smiled.
As soon as we walked out, I saw Zhao Yan and her eight sisters eating barbecue and drinking outside the private room.
She saw that Chen Xue and I were obviously unhappy.
We both walked into the bathroom. Chen Xue said, "I saw Zhao Yan."
"I saw her too. She looked at us in an unfriendly way. Did she want to fight again?" I asked.
Chen Xue pondered, "No way! She still wants to fight. Wasn't the lesson she learned last time enough?"
"What lesson?"
"After you left last time, her mother found out that she had offended your uncle Yu Sheng, so she slapped her twice in the office." Chen Xue said in a low voice.
"Anyway, she looked at us in an unfriendly way," I said.
"Let's go back first. I'll go talk to Xu Fei." Chen Xue took my hand and walked out.
As soon as we walked out of the bathroom, Zhao Yan and her eight little sisters blocked our way.
Zhao Yan's face flushed from the wine she'd been drinking. "Meeting you two again, it's truly a narrow road for enemies to cross!"
Chen Xue asked loudly: "Zhao Yan, what else do you want to do?"
"I just can't stand you two. One of you is a dog relying on the power of others, and the other is a toad trying to eat swan meat." Zhao Yan cursed us without thinking.
"Who are you scolding? You are so mean-spirited, are you suffering from uremia?" I scolded back in dissatisfaction.
As a result, she got angry again and started to attack us first, picking up a beer bottle and trying to hit us.
We both stepped back and dodged.
The wine bottle hit the ground and glass fragments fell all over the floor.
