Hu Lai was just a young man who had graduated a few years ago, and he stayed on at the university as a counselor.
Therefore, he was particularly close to his students, such as Su Wu, and they got along like friends.
Hearing Miao Renfeng's stomach rumbling, his composed face immediately fell.
"You guys are really something. Even if you're working part-time to support your studies, you still need to eat. How about this, I'll treat you to dinner today."
Upon hearing this, the four exchanged glances and simultaneously revealed a smug smile.
This was a plan they had devised on their way here.
Old Hu is a warm-hearted person, and he has always been like that when interacting with these students.
The group left the school and went to a small restaurant nearby.
It's already dinner time, and how can we eat without drinking?
An hour later, the table was a mess of cups and plates, with rows of empty beer bottles.
Hu Lai's face was flushed, and even as he hiccuped from drinking, he didn't forget to lecture the others.
"You guys are usually pretty clever, how come you ended up losing your tuition fees chasing a thief?"
The culprit, Li Zhi, blushed, whether from embarrassment or from drinking too much.
He shook his head and said, "We didn't want to either. That kid was just unlucky; he got hit by a farm vehicle. If we weren't worried about his family causing trouble at the school, we wouldn't have paid any compensation."
"Damn it, if this happened back in my school days, I'd be dead for sure, sigh..."
Hu Lai couldn't help but sigh, his eyes filled with sympathy.
After a few more burps, he took a cigarette from Ma Shangfeng, took a drag, and was filled with emotion.
“You guys are all famous now. I don’t know who spread the word that you got caught getting a foot massage. If I didn’t know you, I would have believed it myself.”
Upon hearing this, Su Wu almost spat out the beer he was drinking.
However, Miao Renfeng was very accommodating and sprayed it directly, instantly filling the wine glass that had just been put down to half full.
"Damn it, who the hell is spreading this rumor? Even if they get caught, they can't just forfeit their tuition fees! At most, it'll be 2000!" Ma Shangfeng exclaimed.
He shouldn't have said anything, because his words made everyone forget their disgust and all look at him.
This guy knows the market way too well.
Ma Shangfeng became awkward under their gaze and quickly waved his hand.
"No, I heard it from a taxi driver. Taxi drivers in Tianjin are all know-it-alls."
Hu Lai rolled his eyes and waved his hand.
"You mustn't go astray. Like I said, working is fine, but don't let it interfere with your studies. And you need to behave well at school too, otherwise your reputation will suffer..."
After Miao Renfeng's wonderful performance, they couldn't eat anymore, and the slightly tipsy group simply left.
They had just stepped out of the restaurant when they ran into a group of people.
These guys were all tall and burly, with a smaller, thinner guy clustered around them.
Su Wu glanced at it and narrowed his eyes; it was actually Liu Fang.
Before they could speak, Liu Fang spoke first.
"Hey, isn't this Teacher Hu? What are you doing here with those scoundrels from your class, all full and ready to get a foot massage?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Lai looked up and frowned.
Nanjing University is so big that he can only know a limited number of students, and he doesn't know Liu Fang and others.
He asked doubtfully, "You're students from Nanjing University, right? It's not appropriate to joke around with teachers like that."
Liu Fang chuckled and said, "Teacher Hu, I'm not joking. These four guys are infamous now. I'm just reminding you."
"Which department and class are you in?" Hu Lai's face immediately darkened.
He can say whatever he wants about his students, but not about others.
At this moment, Liu Fang and the others were also reeking of alcohol, and the atmosphere immediately became somewhat tense.
However, Hu Lai was, after all, the instructor, and Liu Fang and the others were not foolish enough to fight him.
Li Zhi stepped in front of Hu Lai and sneered, "Liu Fang, watch your words."
“Li Zhi, your whole dorm can’t even pay your tuition, how am I supposed to keep an eye on you? You all know what you’ve been doing.”
Liu Fang had a roguish air about him. Although he didn't dare to make a move, he didn't take the counselor seriously either.
At that moment, both Li Zhi and Su Wu had the same thought: this rumor was very likely spread by this guy.
Liu Fang's gaze bypassed the crowd and landed on Su Wu.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Su Wu, right? You're quite the hider. I've been looking for you for days. Let's have a chat!"
Upon hearing this, Su Wu curled his lip, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
Liu Fang, being a local and having both money and power, is probably a local tyrant at Nanjing University.
If this were in his previous life, he would definitely have kept his distance.
However, in this life, he had no intention of bowing down to anyone; otherwise, he wouldn't have offended the other party on the first day of school.
Hu Lai, who was a little tipsy, was somewhat bewildered by what he heard.
"You two know each other, but that doesn't mean you can make jokes like that."
He thought he was too drunk to understand Liu Fang's provocative tone.
Ma Shangfeng and Miao Renfeng were also unaware of the previous story and were somewhat bewildered at the moment.
Su Wu winked at Li Zhi, "You two take Lao Hu back, I'll have a chat with them."
“I’ll go with you. The second and fourth brothers can take Lao Hu back.” Li Zhi shook his head.
Not long after, Hu Lai, who was quite drunk, left with the help of Ma Shangfeng and Miao Renfeng.
Liu Fang was eager for Hu Lai to disappear quickly, so naturally he wouldn't cause trouble at this time.
Once Hu Lai had completely left, he looked at the two of them with a cold smile.
He said to Li Zhi, "Li Zhi, this has nothing to do with you. You can leave now."
"Hmph, Su Wu is my brother, do you think it doesn't matter?" Li Zhi said, sticking out his neck.
