Aside from asking questions, Xiao Jian never dared to talk to his teacher about anything else, because he always had a sense of respect for teachers. So, whenever he sold pancakes to his teacher, he always added extra toppings.
This time, instead of him going to the teacher, the teacher came to him, and not even to buy pancakes! Oh well, what can he do when he's so unlucky? We poor kids can't afford to mess with those rich kids. From now on, stay out of this mess, focus on finishing your remaining two years of school, and as for other things, even if Martians invade, it's none of our business!
"I admit defeat this time. Fine, I'll go find the teacher!" Xiao Jian mustered his courage and went to find the old professor after class.
After half an hour of baptism and lecturing, the old professor finally forgave Xiao Jian, but new troubles arose.
"Professor...do we really have to go...go to Li Muqing to apologize? I...I..."
"Xiao Jian, do you know the story of the old man carrying thorns to apologize? Back then..." Actually, this story had nothing to do with Xiao Jian's apology. Who told the old man to be so old and confused? And so, another half hour passed.
"Do you understand?" the old professor asked.
"Okay... I'll go apologize..." Xiao Jian's head was about to explode. He had met many people who could talk, but he had never met anyone of the professor's caliber before.
Just consider it bad luck! It's just an apology! What's the big deal? Fine, I'll go!
Xiao Jian, who is usually a bit slow-witted, actually remembered that Li Muqing had given her address during class: Room 802, Building 1, Student Apartment.
When Xiao Jian arrived at the student dormitory building, he realized that the place looked somewhat familiar.
"It seems like I was just here recently..." Xiao Jian thought to himself as he walked into the building.
The elevator is broken.
Ah! He remembered, this Li Muqing was the one who ordered takeout and ran away!
Why did it take you so long to remember? Didn't I just say so? Xiao Jian has always been rather slow-witted; it's perfectly normal that he can't remember!
When he reached the door of room 802, Xiao Jian hesitated again. Sigh! How could he apologize? It wasn't even his fault! Actually, Xiao Jian hadn't considered that even if he didn't apologize, the old professor wouldn't notice. Did the old man really go and ask Li Muqing? So, Xiao Jian had always been rather slow-witted.
With a heavy heart, Xiao Jian pressed the doorbell.
"Who is it? Open it yourself, the door isn't locked!" It was Li Muqing's voice coming from inside.
"Sorry to bother you..." Xiao Jian nervously pushed open the door and went inside.
Wow! It's incredibly clean! Xiao Jian exclaimed. He had assumed that this single apartment, where one person lived, would be as dirty and messy as his eight-person dormitory. He never expected that Li Muqing, who looked so slovenly, would live in such a clean place!
But... where is he? Just as Xiao Jian was about to call out, Li Muqing walked out of the bathroom wearing very sexy briefs.
"Oh? It's you! You've come to argue with me?" Li Muqing glanced disdainfully at the man sitting on her sofa, thinking to herself, "This dirty man, don't think that just because I'm interested in you you can mess with my things. My interest in you is only based on pranks, I have no other intentions at all, so please don't push your luck!"
"I...I'm here to apologize..." Xiao Jian saw Li Muqing's disdainful look, and he became even more uneasy. Sigh, he couldn't think of anything wrong, so why was he so nervous?
Oh! Xiao Jian suddenly realized! So he was nervous because he couldn't bear to look at Li Muqing's nearly naked body! How strange! They're both men! But why is Li Muqing so tall and slender, while he's so broad? Is his waist even two feet? Those two thin legs, so white! Although he's not as tall as him, the feeling he gives off is just so good! Those two pink nipples on her chest, I really want to…
"My God!!" Upon thinking of this, Xiao Jian stood up like a madman: "I...I'm sorry! I apologize, I have to go now!" Then, as if he had seen a ghost, he rushed out of Li Muqing's room.
As Li Muqing dried her hair, she watched Xiao Jian's retreating figure and couldn't help but laugh to herself, "Is this guy crazy? He just ran away after saying sorry. I'm not a demon, am I going to eat him? How fucking hilarious!"
Xiao Jian didn't wake up from the nightmare until the next day. By the time he realized what had happened, he had already lost his second job.
Yeah, that takeout order has been sitting here all day. It'll probably go bad by the time I deliver it. It would be a miracle if I didn't lose my job... What a waste of that premium beef set meal. Oh well... I'll just wait until things calm down and then stick to selling my pancakes properly!
Xiao Jian walked to class, sighing to himself as he tried to cheer himself up. Just then, Li Muqing and Wang Youai walked towards him from the opposite direction. Wang Youai saw Xiao Jian's dirty, black face and said with a smile, "Hey! Li Muqing number two, where are you going?"
When Xiao Jian looked up, he saw Wang Youai making fun of him with a grin. He didn't say anything, but when he saw Li Muqing smiling beside him, his face flushed red. He quickly lowered his head and walked away, ignoring everyone.
"This old girl is really concerned about her image, but logically speaking, how could someone who cares about their image not wash their face?" Wang Youai sighed. "I've been in the same dorm with her for two years, and I've never seen her face clean. Damn, it's disgusting to look at! But this old girl has a habit of doing morning exercises every day, getting up at five o'clock every day. That's fucking amazing. Not many people can stick to it for that long!"
Li Muqing didn't respond to Wang Youai's question, but asked instead, "What's her name?"
"Xiao Jian."
Finally, Xiao Jian waited until the industrial and commercial administration personnel left, and he could set up his stall again. Ah, he had been waiting for this for so long, and finally, his wish had come true! Xiao Jian couldn't wait until tomorrow morning to set up his stall; his living expenses were his biggest problem! So, after school that day, Xiao Jian secretly washed his face, put on a mask and a white coat, pushed his cart, and went to the school gate to sell his pancakes.
Wow! Business is really good today! It seems that his regular customers are also looking forward to his pancakes. Xiao Jian smiled happily as he made pancakes for customers, thinking that he could finally make up for some of his losses this time!
Just as he was feeling pleased, the business administration officials suddenly appeared. He didn't even have time to escape before he was caught red-handed.
Seeing that things were not going well, the other customers had already left. For a while, Xiao Jian's pancake stall was left with only him and two people from the Administration for Industry and Commerce.
"Don't you know that setting up stalls is not allowed here?" the construction manager snorted.
"I...I know," Xiao Jian replied nervously.
“Show us your ID card,” another construction manager said.
Xiao Jian handed him his ID card, and then heard him say, "Take off your mask. How can we compare faces like that?"
Xiao Jian had no choice but to show his face.
"You don't have a business license, do you? Well then, we'll confiscate these things!" With that, the construction manager started to move them away.
"No! No!" Xiao Jian was both anxious and scared. He grabbed the foreman's hand, trying to stop them from moving the equipment. "Brothers, please...please give me another chance. I...I won't do it again..." Xiao Jian was usually a man of few words, and in his anxiety, he couldn't say anything nice.
"What? Obstructing justice? Believe me or not, I'll arrest you!" Even a construction supervisor got angry.
"What's going on?" At that moment, a voice came from behind Xiao Jian.
Xiao Jian turned around and saw that it was indeed that person.
Li Muqing.
