Chapter 82
Huang Lei came back from outside and saw Kuang Yumin looking at a map at the table with a cup of steaming tea next to him.
"I've been freezing outside all day and am almost freezing to death, and you're just drinking hot tea comfortably."
Kuang Yumin said, "I'm studying the terrain in that area and formulating an action plan."
Huang Lei angrily said, "Action, action! What action do you have in mind? You said you wanted to do something big, but in the end, you're just doing small chores and getting into trouble."
Kuang Yumin lowered his voice and said, "Be quiet, don't let anyone hear."
"No matter what you hear, you can't escape even if I die."
Huang Lei has always been a timid person, and his voice was much lowered.
Huang Lei and Kuang Yumin used to be best friends, but later he felt that he had been deceived by Kuang Yumin. Now their relationship is very strained, but due to arrangements from above, they cannot live without each other.
They are at the bottom of the social ladder and receive limited funding.
In times of material shortage, although they weren't starving, they were barely able to get by. The room they rented only had one bed, and Huang Lei and Kuang Yumin were already at odds, yet they still wanted two grown men to share a bed.
At night, Huang Lei tossed and turned, unable to sleep, reciting the Shanglin Fu in his mind. He could now recite it backwards. Whenever he felt overwhelmed, he would recite the Shanglin Fu silently in his mind to ease the pain.
Bai Aiyan had originally promised him that she would date him once he could recite the "Shanglin Fu." By then, he had memorized it, truly memorized it. Happiness was within reach, yet it was just a tiny bit missing.
It's all over. I can't go back to school, I can't see the person I like, I have completely cut off contact with my family, and I live a life like a ghost.
Huang Lei couldn't help crying. He was the son of a wealthy family, so why did he have to live such a miserable life? His parents must be so worried without any news of him. Bai Aiyan must be so heartbroken to see him leave without saying goodbye.
They met at the bookstore that day. Lai Xiujin said excitedly, "I found Wang Jiazhi."
Everyone else was indifferent, only Kuang Yumin's eyes lit up.
Kuang Yumin said, "There's hope for the Yi connection."
Huang Lei said disdainfully: "Meng Shunying is dead, how can she do it?"
Lai Xiujin said, "Meng Shunying is a lady from a wealthy family, so of course she can't do it. Wang Jiazhi is different. She's so wild, so maybe she has a better chance than Meng Shunying."
Huang Lei said, "Wang Jiazhi's looks are far inferior to Meng Shunying's. Even if she is more attractive, she may not be able to seduce the Yi family."
Kuang Yumin said, "But this is our only hope right now. When they were in Hong Kong, that Yi guy was willing to ask her out, so it seems he still has some feelings for her."
Ouyang said, "But Wang Jiazhi will definitely not agree. She is not a fool. Would she do something so dangerous?"
Lai Xiujin said, "She's having a miserable life now. Her aunt treats her very badly. We lied to her and told her that we'd give her a large sum of money if we succeeded. She'd definitely agree."
Ouyang said: "Don't be silly. She has already fallen out with us, she won't believe it."
Lai Xiujin said, "You can tell her that after the matter is settled, she can go to England to find her father. When I lived with her, she often wrote letters to her father."
Liang Runsheng said, "But what if she finds out she can't go to England and starts making a fuss?"
Huang Lei felt hopeful after hearing what they said. He said, "That's fine. She's in the same boat with us. Who else can she turn to? Unless she doesn't want to live anymore. We all did this together. We're in such a miserable situation now. Why should she live a peaceful life?"
Lai Xiujin said, "That's right. She has suffered several years less than us. She should have been in the same situation as us."
In fact, they all knew that this situation had nothing to do with the original incident, and it was all because Kuang Yumin had caused another incident and dragged everyone into it. But now everyone said this, trying to deceive themselves and others, saying that it was Wang Jiazhi's own fault and had nothing to do with them.
