Chapter 7 Party
The first person to react was Wu Xiaodi. Her face flushed redly: "Yin Dengan, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Then Yang Xingchen quickly followed, "Yin Dengan, you're a bit too mean. We're just classmates, what's the difference between being worthy and not worthy?"
"Okay, everyone is almost here, let's go in quickly!"
"Classmates, don't be unhappy. Let's go in and eat quickly. I'm starving!"
“…”
Although the people around him were trying to smooth things over, it was obvious that they looked at him differently.
In fact, just now, several classmates saw him get off the bus and were already very surprised. Yin Dengan's words undoubtedly aroused their curiosity, but they just couldn't ask in front of Zhou Yang.
After Yin Dengan was pushed away, Zhou Yang felt that the hostility towards him suddenly disappeared.
He actually has no connection with Yin Dengan.
Yin Dengan was the class's study committee member. Despite being a good student, he was a useless class leader. All the subject matters were handled by the class representatives, and the study committee member was essentially a figurehead.
There was no contact in class work, and Zhou Yang had never spoken more than five sentences to him. He didn't understand why the other party was so hostile towards him.
Nearly thirty people from the class entered the large private room they had reserved. One table definitely wouldn't fit them all, so the girls sat separately. Since there were fewer girls, they found a few boys to sit with them. To avoid further conflict, Yang Xingchen pulled Zhou Yang to sit at the girls' table.
Compared to the boys' urging to drink, the girls were obviously much gentler, especially in front of the male god Zhou Yang. Several girls were shy and timid, almost blinding everyone's eyes.
Straighthead Li Liangliang, after two drinks, started to speak without restraint: "I'm wondering why you girls are so quiet today. You weren't so reserved when you beat me up before! And the day before yesterday, I saw Xiao Ding running as fast as a rabbit in high heels, cursing, 'I'm going to dig up your family's ancestral graves!'"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole class laughed. The girl named Xiao Ding blushed. If she hadn't been sitting a little far away from Li Liangliang, she would have let him know why he still didn't have a girlfriend.
Qi Peng, who was standing by, noticed that Xiao Ding was secretly gritting her teeth, rubbing her hands, and was about to make a move. He adjusted his thick glasses and pulled him aside: "Eat yours, drink yours!"
"That won't do. We're old classmates getting together, how can we just eat and drink? We have to chat more!"
"Liangliang is right! I think it's boring to have two tables. Let's just put them together and chat while we eat."
“I agree!”
A few older boys who were strong pushed the two tables together and everyone sat down in turn.
They said they were eating and chatting, but in fact they were still urging each other to drink. Especially a few of them were from business circles. They were like walking drinking machines and would not stop until they had persuaded people to drink. Even the girls were urged to drink several glasses.
Zhou Yang is naturally one of them.
The security in foreign countries is not good, so Zhou Yang never drinks outside. This also leads to his poor alcohol tolerance and he gets drunk after drinking a little.
Li Liangliang, the big drinker, just leaned on Zhou Yang and refused to move. Zhou Yang inevitably drank some of the wine, and his face immediately turned red.
Yang Xingchen remembered that he hadn't drunk much at the graduation dinner, and seeing that his face was red, he quickly tried to smooth things over: "Liangliang, don't try to persuade him. How will he drive home drunk later?"
Zhou Yang: “I didn’t…”
Li Liangliang waved his hand nonchalantly: "Just call a designated driver!"
Yang Xingchen was speechless and made up an excuse: "They live in a high-end residential complex, and designated drivers are not allowed in!"
Zhou Yang: “I didn’t…”
"I think it wasn't the designated driver who was barred from the high-end residential complex, but him himself!"
The atmosphere was originally quite good, but Yin Dengan's words made the whole scene dull again.
Everyone looked at Zhou Yang, and Zhou Yang, who was drunk, stood there with a rosy face and a calm expression. However, his arm was held tightly by Yang Xingchen, so others did not notice his violent temper.
He hates people being sarcastic the most. If you have something to say, just say it directly and then fight. Isn't that straightforward?
The good-tempered Yang Xingchen was also angry now: "Yin Dengan, you are too harsh!"
"I'm being mean, but I think you're just eager to flatter me! But I guess your flattery is useless, you're just a bunch of idiot rich second generation!"
Li Liangliang was stunned and turned to look at Zhou Yang: "Isn't he already a rich second-generation? The luxury car he used to pick me up was worth millions..."
Give the squad leader some face. If that guy named An on the other side continues to be sarcastic, he will even drag his squad leader down with him, Zhou Yang thought expressionlessly.
"Why are we talking about this? Our good friendship has gone sour!" Wu Xiaodi quickly interrupted Li Liangliang's inquiry, "We haven't seen each other for several years. We should have a good drink."
Girls, especially pretty girls, were quite helpful when they talked. Everyone quickly shifted their focus and returned to eating and drinking. Of course, a few glances inevitably drifted towards Zhou Yang, making him feel uncomfortable.
"I'm going to the bathroom." He said to Yang Xingchen. He was afraid that if he sat down any longer, he would not be able to help but hit them on the head.
Yang Xingchen waved his hand and told him to go and come back quickly.
The restroom was at the end of the corridor, quite far from the box. It took a minute to walk there, but Zhou Yang walked for three minutes.
Of course, he didn't really want to go to the bathroom, but he leaned against the door frame and smoked a cigarette.
He has no smoking habit and rarely smokes once in ten days or half a month, but he believes that every man should have cigarettes, so he always carries a small box with him, and this box has been there for at least two months.
"Zhou Yang!"
He had just put the stubbed cigarette butt into the ashtray when he heard someone calling his name.
"Wu Xiaodi, what are you doing..." Zhou Yang turned around.
Wu Xiaodi looks fresh and energetic in the beige shirt and blue-green skirt she wears today.
The Chanel bag she'd bought yesterday was clearly worn out. This time, she'd bought a new one with a prominent logo, the latest GI model. Zhou Yang, though not familiar with the brand, could tell it was quite valuable. It seemed Yin Dengan wasn't completely talking nonsense.
Zhou Yang thought Wu Xiaodi was carrying his bag and had to leave for something.
"I... I came to find you!" Wu Xiaodi blushed and didn't dare to look up at him.
"Ah, what's the matter?" Zhou Yang tried to slow down his tone. He always felt that the little girl in front of him was afraid of him, otherwise why would she never look up when speaking in front of him.
Wu Xiaodi rummaged through his bag and pulled out a large envelope. The envelope was almost as big as his bag, and the things inside were so neatly packed that he couldn't make out what was inside, but it couldn't be... money, right?
"Zhou Yang, take this little money... first." Wu Xiaodi lowered his head, as if begging him to accept the money.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Yang was a little confused.
"Don't get me wrong, the money isn't for you!" Wu Xiaodi quickly retracted his hand, thinking something was wrong, and handed the envelope full of money over again. "I know you must have been in trouble recently. This isn't much money, so just think of it as... a loan from me. You can pay it back anytime!"
"Thank you!" Zhou Yang pushed the envelope forward. "But no need. I don't have any difficulties. I can solve it right away."
Wu Xiaodi clearly didn't believe it, and he almost put his hand to his chest, his tone anxious, even a little confused: "Don't be polite, this is not a gift, I will return it later, you helped me yesterday!"
"Really, no need. I found a new job." The smile on Zhou Yang's face became more sincere. He didn't expect that Wu Xiaodi was so loyal.
"Well... okay then." Wu Xiaodi withdrew his hand awkwardly.
Zhou Yang saw that the other person was a little disappointed, and then he said, "How about this, if I need money in the future, I will borrow from you?"
"Okay!" Wu Xiaodi was visibly happy.
In this day and age, are there still people begging others to borrow money? This girl is too honest!
"Okay, let's go back!" After this incident, Zhou Yang really regarded Wu Xiaodi as a friend, and his tone became much more casual.
Afraid that the gossips inside might spread rumors, Zhou Yang asked Wu Xiaodi to go into the box first. Two minutes later, Zhou Yang went in.
As soon as he pushed the door open, he felt that the atmosphere was even weirder than when he first arrived, and the gazes cast on him were more numerous and more naked.
Not knowing what had happened, Zhou Yang sat down without changing his expression.
Yang Xingchen quickly served Zhou Yang a bowl of rice: "You didn't eat much just now, eat a few bites to fill your stomach!"
Zhou Yang was about to take it when Yin Dengan's voice rang out.
"Squad leader, the food you served him is too hard! Don't you know that he is just a gigolo?"
The box was suddenly silent.
Zhou Yang paused after hearing this and did not take the bowl of white rice. Instead, he cleverly moved Yang Xingchen's wrist and the whole bowl of rice fell on the head and face of Yin Dengan who was opposite Yang Xingchen.
"The food we served just now was a little small." Zhou Yang said calmly.
"You fucking..." Yin Dengan stood up suddenly and was held tightly by the two boys sitting next to him, but he did not show any mercy.
Zhou Yang interrupted him: "Why the hell are you being so sarcastic?"
"I'm being sarcastic? If you dare to do it, don't be afraid of what others say. Whoever took the girl's money just now knows it. What's wrong with calling you a gigolo? You just rely on your face to make a living. Anyway, there are bootlickers to support you. What do you mean by rich second generation? Those who get rich by relying on their looks and live off gigolos are the second generation!" Yin Dengan's fighting power is average, but he speaks very loudly.
The girl next to him had already explained to Wu Xiaodi the photos that Yin Dengan had secretly taken. She was immediately shaking with anger: "Yin Dengan, don't talk nonsense. Zhou Yang didn't..."
"Bang", Zhou Yang rolled up his sleeves and punched Yin Dengan directly in the face across the table. The round face suddenly became three-dimensional and swollen like a pig.
"Don't fucking stop me! I'm going to beat him down today. I really don't understand what's so good about a guy like him who plagiarizes, lies, and is good for nothing? Give him any face!"
It was really inconvenient to sit across the table, so Zhou Yang walked around half of the table, grabbed Yin Dengan's collar tightly with one hand, and shot him a glare like a sword: "Who do you say plagiarized?"
The situation was tense and the boys nearby hurriedly stood up to try to stop the fight. Some of them pulled at Zhou Yang's clothes, while others held Yin Dengan's arms to prevent him from moving.
Yin Dengan stiffened his neck and refused to change. "Just tell me what's wrong with you? I'm telling you, your plagiarism has spread throughout the industry. Do you think An Xia still wants you?"
Zhou Yang's eyes were fierce. He broke free from Yang Xingchen's loose shackles with his right hand and punched Yin Dengan in the face again. This punch was harder than the previous one and Yin Dengan's nose immediately started bleeding.
"I want to call the police, I want to call the police!" Yin Dengan shouted.
"Go ahead and report it, and I'll punish you for defamation while I'm at it!"
Yin Dengan's momentum instantly weakened: "Just wait!"
Zhou Yang sneered, "I'll be waiting! Remember, record the sound of you accusing me of plagiarism and give it to the judge later!"
The class reunion had become so chaotic that it couldn't continue. Yang Xingchen asked two people to pay the bill, and the others came out together.
The sky had been a bit gloomy in the afternoon, but the forecast hadn't predicted rain. But now, it was pouring down, making it impossible to move without an umbrella.
Yin Dengan wanted to call an ambulance in a coquettish manner, but was persuaded by others who said it was not that serious and she could just take a taxi to the hospital.
Yang Xingchen put his arm around Zhou Yang's shoulder and whispered, "Wait a minute. I'll take you home after I've taken care of all the girls in the class."
A black Maybach was parked on the roadside right in front of the eaves where they were standing, honking its horn.
"Fuck, this car is so cool!" Li Liangliang exclaimed.
Everyone's eyes shifted.
Through the thick rain curtain, Zhou Yang saw his landlord, Mr. Lin Yuan, who suffers from social anxiety, roll down the car window.
The man's facial lines were firm and his handsome face showed no expression. After meeting Zhou Yang's gaze, he honked the horn twice.
Zhou Yang pulled up his trouser legs, turned around and said to Yang Xingchen, "No need, I'm leaving first!"
In full view of the crowd, Zhou Yang got into the back seat of a black Maybach, the window slowly closed, and the car moved forward, raising ripples on the ground.
"Yin Dengan, didn't you say he wasn't a rich second-generation?"
