Yanling took his meal card to the cafeteria and, upon learning that it contained 200 yuan, quickly came up with what he considered a brilliant idea.
If he treats his underlings to meals for a few days, will they follow him again? Those people initially felt ashamed to have a leader like him who received a student grant, so they all abandoned him, leaving him as a lone leader at school.
Once he becomes the school bully again, he can just go around collecting protection money from students. Will he ever have to worry about not having money to spend?
Zhang Dan thinks she can make me submit? Keep dreaming!
However, the reality was completely different from what he had imagined. The food in the cafeteria was cheap and plentiful, and he could eat his fill for just over ten yuan a day. But these other people always chose the more expensive dishes, and in just three days, he had spent all the money on his meal card.
Zhang Dan hadn't come to see him these past few days, and Yan Ling assumed that what she said that day was just casual talk and he hadn't taken it to heart. Or rather, he didn't believe that Zhang Dan could do anything to him.
After they found out he was broke, his freeloaders ran away again, and Yanling's money-making plan fell through. He tried to freeload like the others, but everyone kept their distance from him, avoiding him like the plague. Even the people who had eaten with him a few days ago ignored him.
He was so hungry that he drank cold water all day. By nightfall, his stomach was rumbling. Only then did Yanling realize how unbearable hunger could feel.
The next morning, he went to find Zhang Dan. He thought that Zhang Dan would give him his meal card again, just like last time. He stood at the door of Class 2, Grade 11 and waited for her. But when Zhang Dan saw him, she just glanced at him coldly and walked past him without saying a word.
Yanling hurriedly grabbed her arm, pulled her aside, and questioned, "What are you doing? You promised to help me, do you know I was starving all day yesterday!"
Zhang Dan lazily raised her eyes and looked at him: "What does your hunger have to do with me?"
"Didn't you say...?"
"What I meant was, you have to listen to me obediently, did you?"
"You didn't come looking for me, how am I supposed to know what to do!"
"Do I really need to teach you this? Just do exactly what the maids in TV dramas do."
Yan Ling's face instantly darkened, becoming extremely ugly. He growled in a low voice, "You actually want me to be your maid?!"
"What else? Otherwise, why would I help you? You don't think it's because of love, do you?"
"But......"
"There are no buts, and no obligations. If you are unwilling, I will not force you."
Zhang Dan said she wouldn't force him, but in her heart she was thinking about how to make him submit. She liked taming blindly confident people the most and destroying their self-confidence. It was a very fulfilling thing.
Yan Ling turned and left angrily. He didn't believe he couldn't live without Zhang Dan. She dared to humiliate him like this today, and he would make her pay the price!
He found the girls who had bullied Zhang Dan before and asked them to continue tormenting her. The girls looked strange and waved their hands in refusal. Yan Ling asked curiously, "Don't you dislike Zhang Dan? I won't interfere in her affairs anymore. You can continue to bully her."
Upon hearing Zhang Dan's name, they trembled as if they had heard a taboo word, muttering, "We won't dare again, we won't dare again, please let us go."
Yan Ling's curiosity grew, and he tentatively asked, "What did Zhang Dan do to you? You can tell me, and I'll help you get revenge!"
"Let me tell you, they've become my friends now, don't you think?"
Zhang Dan's voice was sweet, but to the girls, it sounded like a devil's call. They fled in panic, leaving Yan Ling alone to face Zhang Dan.
She stared at Yanling with a gentle smile: "It seems I've been too lenient with you, which has made you fail to recognize your own position."
"Who do you think you are! You think you can make me your maid? You're dreaming!"
Yan Ling turned and strode away. He didn't go back to the classroom, but skipped class to sell his cell phone. He had only bought the phone less than a month ago, so he could probably make some money from it. Zhang Dan actually wanted him to be her servant, to be at her beck and call. This was a great humiliation to him.
He found a mobile phone shop outside, but the shopkeeper offered a very low price, only willing to buy it back for 800. Yanling was not satisfied with such a low price, so he planned to find another shop to appraise it.
When he arrived at the store, he realized his phone was missing. He was furious and wanted to yell at the store, but he didn't even know when he had lost it. He could only leave the store dejectedly.
Yanling didn't go back to school. Instead, he went to his uncle's house. He waited outside for a while until a stranger appeared. The stranger looked at him warily and asked him what he wanted.
Yan Ling yelled at him, "This is my uncle's house!"
The renter was a man in his forties. He didn't take Yanling's yelling seriously. He had heard about the man's bad behavior recently. If it were his son, he would have hung him up and beaten him long ago.
“Your uncle rented the house to me. Also, your uncle’s house is not your house. I hope you can understand the difference.”
After saying that, he took out his key, opened the door, and went inside, leaving Yanling outside.
Yanling couldn't understand how her uncle could be so heartless, suddenly renting out the house and not answering her calls. Did he really not want her anymore?
By the time he got back to school it was already afternoon. Having not eaten all day and all morning, Yanling was so hungry his eyes were practically green. He had no choice but to go find Zhang Dan again.
When Zhang Dan met him, she only said that she would treat him to dinner that night, and Yan Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
But when it was time for lunch in the afternoon, Yanling couldn't sit still. He never expected that Zhang Dan's invitation to dinner meant giving him her leftovers!
She stood beside him, smiling broadly: "Eat up, why aren't you eating? You're lucky to have leftovers. Look at you, you're so unpopular at school. Nobody wants to give you leftovers except me. They'd rather throw them away than give them to you."
Yan Ling's face was full of humiliation. He never expected Zhang Dan to humiliate him like this. He felt that his dignity had been trampled on by her, and he wanted to make her disappear!
