On his way to class at Building 12, Xiangyang passed by that open space and sent Qin Gang another message, saying that their school was going to build a large shopping mall, which would probably have a lot of snacks.
After sending the message, Xiangyang didn't expect a reply, put his phone in his pocket, and went to class.
For two consecutive days, Qin Gang did not send any more messages.
Xiangyang felt completely lost about this matter.
"Is that shopping mall really going to be built?" a student whispered in the back row before the lecturer entered the classroom.
"Have you... seen their contractor?" one of the girls asked hesitantly.
"A contractor?" another girl asked, puzzled. "Why do you care about a contractor?"
"Oh dear!" The girl started looking through her phone. "I secretly took a picture when I passed by. Look at it!"
"Wow..." The girl got excited after seeing it. "He... works on construction sites? Wow! Look at the tattoos on his arms! Even with that construction helmet, I feel like he's involved in organized crime."
"What are you looking at! What are you looking at!" The others were drawn in and crowded around.
Holy crap! Holy crap!
"Who's this guy on a mission at the school? Is he here to bomb us?!"
Many people were amused by this childish remark.
"He's so handsome! But he doesn't seem like a good person!"
"When I was secretly taking a picture of him, he glanced at me out of the corner of his eye, and I was so scared that my legs went weak!"
Send it to me! Send it to me!
"I want one too! I want one too!"
The commotion was so loud that Xiangyang couldn't help but notice it. When a girl walked past him with a photo in her hand, he couldn't help but glance at it.
Just one glance.
In the photo, the man is smoking, looking burly and languid.
He seemed to realize someone was secretly filming him. He glanced at the camera out of the corner of his eye, his gaze relaxed, yet it sent chills down one's spine.
Xiangyang stood up with a "whoosh."
At this moment, the lecturer entered.
Wang Xin quickly tugged at him, "The teacher's coming! The teacher's coming!"
Xiangyang could only sit down.
Zhang Yu asked him quietly, "What's wrong?"
Xiangyang shook his head.
Secretly sending a message from inside my book bag: Uncle Qin, you're at school?
Qin Gang did not reply.
Xiangyang: Let's go to the cafeteria together after class.
This time, Qin Gang answered with a single word: Okay.
Xiangyang clutched his chest, utterly incredulous, and said to Xiaoguai, "Xiaoguai, Qin Gang has started a legitimate business!"
Xiao Guai: "...Yeah."
Xiangyang also couldn't understand why Qin Gang had suddenly come to his senses.
As soon as get out of class ended, Xiangyang grabbed his schoolbag and rushed out, startling the lecturer who was tidying up his handouts, causing the things in his hands to fall apart.
Xiangyang carried his schoolbag and ran all the way to the construction site. He was covered in sweat and his face was flushed.
Zhu Erliang would steal glances at Qin Gang every now and then, watching him take off his construction hat and put it back on, and also glancing at his phone every now and then.
Zhu Erliang walked over: "Brother Qin, are you not used to wearing this helmet?"
The person most surprised by Qin Gang's career change was Zhu Erliang.
Back then, Zhu Erliang followed Qin Gang out to the big city to make a living, and they've been doing it for 14 years now. Who would have thought that Qin Gang would want to change careers again?
Zhu Erliang was quite happy, after all, he was getting a bit old and wanted to settle down.
He just didn't understand why Qin Gang had suddenly had this idea.
Zhu Erliang then said, "Brother Qin, it's almost lunchtime, let's go out to eat."
"Uncle Qin—"
Qin Gang turned around with a "whoosh," quickly took off his safety helmet, his cold, hard face stiff.
Seeing Xiang Yang rushing up excitedly, Zhu Erliang subconsciously took a step back.
Xiangyang, carrying his schoolbag and laughing, rushed straight into Qin Gang's arms, hugging his neck and hanging on him.
Qin Gang caught him steadily.
The students passing by all turned their heads to look.
"He's the new contractor? Wow, this gangster looks way more real than in the photos!"
Who is the boy in his arms?
"He...is probably his younger brother. If he weren't his biological brother, who would dare to get close to him!"
"He's so loving towards his younger brother! It melts my heart just watching him!"
"Yes! Yes!"
Qin Gang, his body stiff, hugged Xiang Yang. He suddenly realized that doing something so ridiculous was actually quite funny.
Long time no see, kid.
[Ding! Qin Gang's Antisocial Index: 10.0%!]
When Xiangyang heard the notification tone, he was happy but also felt a little strange.
Why did the data drop at this time? Shouldn't it have happened when Qin Gang decided to change careers?
Is the information delayed?
Xiangyang was too happy to care about anything else.
He struggled for a moment before Qin Gang reluctantly let go.
Xiangyang jumped off him, then saw the helmet in his hand, snatched it, put it on his head, and stepped back, giving him a quick look.
He exclaimed, "So handsome!"
After saying that, Xiangyang took Qin Gang to eat at the school's three meals a day.
Zhu Erliang, who remained: "..."
Others came over and asked Zhu Erliang, "Who is this student? Why is he so friendly with our Brother Qin?"
Another person said, "Why does his voice sound so familiar?"
"The one who made the phone call!" someone else exclaimed, slapping their thigh as if remembering.
Xiangyang pulled Qin Gang toward the cafeteria, and the other students followed them, also heading toward the cafeteria.
Some people only realized where they were after they had already arrived at their destination.
The restaurant was packed for all three meals. Xiangyang held Qin Gang's wrist and searched back and forth among the rows of seats. Finally, he found a long table where only one student was eating, so Xiangyang arranged for Qin Gang to sit down there.
The boy who was eating was so startled that he picked up his plate.
Xiangyang asked the boy, "Is someone already taken?"
The boy shook his head, "No..."
Xiangyang then realized that Qin Gang had frightened him, so he quickly pulled Qin Gang up and said, "Let's not eat here, let's pack it up and go back to my dorm to eat!"
Xiangyang wasn't embarrassed at all; he was quite excited.
Xiangyang got two meals and two large chicken drumsticks. When it was time to go out for the three meals, Xiangyang gave the food to Qin Gang and went to the small fruit shop inside the three meals area to buy two large slices of watermelon.
When Xiangyang returned to the dormitory, the dormitory supervisor, who was picking pomegranates in front of the pomegranate trees at the entrance, didn't dare to stop him when she saw him trying to bring him into the dormitory.
But who knew, Xiangyang pulled Qin Gang back and headed towards those pomegranate trees as well.
The pomegranate trees planted at the school have almost been picked clean by the dormitory supervisors and students, leaving only a few tall ones still hanging on them.
