Chapter 5: An Encounter in the Morning



Today, I got up early for a rare occasion, thinking about the guitar my father sent me. He called me last night to tell me that it had arrived.

I sat up from the bed, stretched myself, and yelled at the top of my lungs, "Damn it! Today is a very energetic day!"

At this moment, Zhu Wei was woken up by my shouting. He peeked out from under the covers with sleepy eyes and raised his head impatiently and shouted at me: "Lin Yu, what the hell is wrong with you? You have nothing to do today, why are you getting up so early?"

I chuckled and replied, "I'm going to have breakfast, do you want to join me?"

After hearing this, Zhu Wei frowned and struggled to get up from the bed, muttering, "I don't want to eat buns anymore. This is a crappy school and there's not even anything delicious to eat." After saying that, he yawned and slowly began to look for clothes to wear.

Yang Bin and Xia Jie seemed to be glued to the bed and said in unison that they would not go. They muttered that they would sleep until noon, covered their heads with the quilt, and fell asleep again.

Zhu Wei and I finished washing up and walked out of the dormitory in high spirits.

As soon as Zhu Wei walked out the door, he grabbed my arm, his eyes shining, and yelled, "Let's go, go somewhere far away, and eat beef noodles in town. The ones around the school don't taste that good!"

When I heard that, I stopped in my tracks, feeling very reluctant. It was so early in the morning, and the town was not close. It would probably take most of the day to go back and forth.

But Zhu Wei didn't care. He held me tightly with his hands like a pair of pliers, muttering, "Just trust me this time. The one in town is absolutely authentic. Eat one bowl and I guarantee you won't forget it."

I couldn't resist his brute force and greed, so I sighed and followed him to the street. We spotted two shared electric bikes, scanned the codes, and unlocked them in one go.

Zhu Wei twisted the handlebars and rushed out first, turning back and shouting at me as he rode: "Come on, I can't hold it any longer!"

"Then you can pull it, you can't help it!"

I got on the bike and followed slowly in the cool morning breeze.

"Ah Wei, if this beef noodle doesn't taste good today, I'll fight you to the death!" Originally everyone called him "Wei Ge", but he himself was unwilling to do so.

"Don't worry! I'm known as the know-it-all in this city. I was craving this before, and I drove half an hour to come here to eat it. This place is very famous in our city, and I guarantee you'll eat it to your heart's content!"

Soon, with the shared electric car braking with a "squeak", we stopped steadily in front of the store door.

Looking up, the sign of "xx beef noodles" was eye-catching. Zhu Wei couldn't wait and rushed in hurriedly, and I followed him.

"Boss, give me two bowls of beef noodles, and add thirty more pieces of beef!"

The loud voice made my ears ring, and I kept wondering, "It's just breakfast, is there any need to be so extravagant?" Just as I was about to speak, before the words came out of my mouth, my eyes were suddenly drawn to a beautiful figure in the corner.

It was her! The girl who had so much to do with me that night, she happened to be looking at me at that moment. The moment our eyes met, she lowered her head in panic like a frightened deer, reached out to grab the girl across from her who was still slurping noodles, and stood up to leave.

"I haven't finished eating yet. We came all the way here."

But she ignored it all, hurried along, and pulled her friend along, just wanting to leave as soon as possible.

I stood there in shock, my mind went blank for a moment, and countless memories flooded into my heart like a tide. All the madness of that night and the loss after waking up in the morning came back to me all at once.

When I came to my senses, they had already walked to the door and were about to disappear around the corner of the street. But I was still standing there in a daze, not knowing whether I should chase them and ask them clearly, or pretend I didn't see it and let this unexpected episode pass.

I gritted my teeth, and the stubbornness in my heart suddenly came up. Without thinking, I raised my legs and chased after him.

I looked left and right on the street, anxiously searching for her, but there were too many people coming and going, and after searching for a long time, she had disappeared without a trace.

I felt a sense of loss and sighed helplessly. I stood on the street with my head hung down, feeling full of regret.

At this moment, Lin Mengxi's familiar figure suddenly came into view, and there was another girl beside her.

Lin Mengxi saw me and smiled, her lips slightly raised. She walked over and asked with a smile: "What are you looking for? Lin Yu?"

"Nothing... nothing."

Lin Mengxi didn't ask any more questions, and said with a smile: "You got up quite early, are you like me? You just finished military training and you're exhausted, so you want to go out for a walk and get some fresh air."

I quickly changed the subject: "Have you had breakfast?"

Lin Mengxi shook her head slightly and said, "Not yet. My friend and I are planning to go there to eat. I heard from others that it's quite famous."

"Let's go over there. My friend and I are eating there too."

After a few of us walked into the store chatting and laughing, we found that the woman who had left in a hurry before was now hiding in a boutique not far away on the street.

She looked through the window glass in the direction we left, with anger in her eyes.

"All men are really bad!"

We walked into the store and as soon as we entered, we saw Zhu Wei sitting there enjoying his meal. When he saw me come back, he asked vaguely, "Where... have you been?"

As soon as I said this, I caught sight of two beauties following behind me. I immediately started coughing violently as if I was choking, and my face turned red.

He quickly turned around, frantically wiped his mouth with a tissue, straightened his clothes, and immediately put on a smile on his face. He said to the two women seriously, "Hello, my name is Zhu Wei. You can call me Xiao Zhu or Brother Zhu, but please don't call me Brother Wei. It's awkward."
