Chapter 16: Eating Soft Rice



The night passed quietly, and the morning sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, exuding a hint of laziness.

At this moment, Zhu Wei's phone rang, and his loud voice came through the receiver: "Let's go, let's go eat. Xu Qian and Meng Xi have classes this morning, so don't dawdle."

I rubbed my sleepy eyes and replied, "Okay."

The noise also woke Mengxi up. She opened her eyes drowsily, her voice still thick with sleepiness as she asked, "What time is it?"

"It's half past seven, and there's still an hour and a half left."

Meng Xi sobered up a lot when she heard this. She quickly sat up and rubbed her head while saying, "Then I have to go wash up quickly. I drank so much wine yesterday that I felt really bad. I won't drink again, even if you kill me."

Seeing her annoyed look, I couldn't help but smile and jokingly said, "Do you remember what you said last night?"

Meng Xi scratched her head with a bewildered look on her face and asked doubtfully, "What did you say? I'm so dizzy from drinking that I don't remember anything."

I approached her and said with a smile, "You said you like me."

Mengxi's face flushed instantly. She glared at me angrily, then hurried off the bed and headed to the bathroom, mumbling, "You're the only one who remembers it clearly, huh."

I quickly packed up and went to the breakfast shop.

After finishing their breakfast in a hurry, they hailed a taxi on the roadside and headed towards the campus.

When we arrived at school, I first accompanied Mengxi to deliver the clothes we bought yesterday to the downstairs of her dormitory. After she and Xu Qian went upstairs and put their things away, I hurriedly went with Zhu Wei to send them downstairs to the teaching building.

"I didn't even have time to change clothes."

Xu Qian was quite open-minded: "It's okay, I can change it after class. It won't affect anything anyway."

Mengxi smiled sweetly, waved at me, and said, "Then I'll go to class first. See you in the evening."

"Well, see you tonight."

Zhu Wei and I were walking along the path in the campus. Halfway through the walk, Zhu Wei suddenly put his arm around my shoulders.

He raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "Of course, now you can afford to wear Youngor's suits, which are not cheap. Hey, look at you wearing nice clothes now, don't you have to return my thousand yuan?"

"Mengxi bought this. Where did I get the money? You know how wealthy I am."

"Oh, she's a wealthy woman, and she's so pretty. You're so lucky, kid."

When I heard his increasingly nonsensical words, I immediately flew into a rage and yelled at him, "Fuck you, are you going to talk properly?"

Seeing that I was annoyed, Zhu Wei took off running for a few steps, looking back and shouting loudly as he ran: "If you want to eat soft rice, you have to force it, hahahaha."

I was so furious that I dropped the bag and ran after him, shouting, "I'm going to shut your mouth first. See if you dare to say anything more!"

We chased each other like this for a long time, and finally we were exhausted and out of breath. Finally, we couldn't run anymore, so we sat down on the lawn next to us, gasping for breath.

"That's great! This girl has a good personality, is pretty, and is interested in you. You must cherish her."

"I felt a little inferior and nervous when I was with him."

"Why are you so nervous? There's nothing to be ashamed of."

I sat up, tugging at the grass on the lawn, and said with a worried look on my face, "I'm afraid I'm not worthy of her. You know, her family looks quite well-off, while mine is just ordinary. I'm afraid I won't be able to give her the life she wants, and that she'll have to suffer with me."

Zhu Wei suddenly sat up straight, his eyes wide open, and said with a look of disappointment: "You idiot, why do you think so much! Be brave in love, don't be afraid of anything. If you hesitate and miss such a good girl, it will be too late to regret it. Brother, I will be by your side to support you. If you have any difficulties, we can find a way to solve them together. Don't think about it here by yourself." After that, he patted my shoulder vigorously.

After listening to Zhu Wei's passionate and supportive words, I was so moved that my eyes were slightly red.

Taking advantage of this enthusiasm, I thought about it and said, "Think of that thousand as your support for my fund."

Zhu Wei was still immersed in that heroic mood at the time. He waved his hand and said in a particularly heroic manner: "It's okay, spend it as you like. I have plenty of money. As long as you can win that girl, this little money is nothing." But as soon as he said this, he seemed to come to his senses. His eyes widened immediately, and he jumped up and shouted at me: "Your uncle, give me back my money, and stop fooling around here."

When I saw his reaction, I couldn't help but burst out laughing and ran away, turning back and shouting, "I can't pay it back recently. I'm so poor now."

Zhu Wei was chasing me from behind, shouting at the top of his voice, "Who asked you to pay it back recently? Just give it to me when you make money in the future. Don't cheat me." I listened to his shouting and ran faster. I felt warm in my heart, thinking that I was lucky to have such a good brother by my side.

"I understand. I will repay you tenfold in the future."

“Who wants ten times as much from you?”

"So you don't want it? Then don't remember it."

"Of course I do."

Not long after, Zhu Wei and I returned to the dormitory. As soon as we opened the door, we felt that the atmosphere was not right.

Xia Jie and Yang Bin had bruises all over their faces, with blood still lingering at the corners of their mouths. They looked extremely miserable.
