Han Junche remained unfazed by the teasing from the crowd.
Chi Xia's face flushed, and she angrily stomped on his foot under the table.
Han Junche remained unmoved, as if Chi Xia wasn't stepping on his foot at all. He didn't even budge, which angered Chi Xia so much that she stomped on his foot even harder.
Until he suddenly turned his head, looked at her with gentle, deep eyes, and murmured, "Stop fooling around."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chi Xia blushed and withdrew her foot.
After finishing their meal, everyone played together for a while. This time they didn't play cards, but just chatted and laughed. Somehow, they started talking about funny things from their childhood.
With Lin Yi, his childhood friend, around, Han Junche was practically sold out. Fortunately, he didn't have many embarrassing moments; most of the time, it was about how cool and aloof he was, how he didn't cherish women, and how he broke the hearts of a bunch of girls.
Lin Yi got more and more excited as she talked. At first, she was talking about her elementary and middle school years, but then she started talking about university.
"You guys don't know, back in our sophomore year, a junior, who was also the school beauty, put aside her pride and pursued our idol. She brought him breakfast every day, rain or shine, and even brought him an umbrella when it rained. Our idol actually accepted her. Just when we thought he was finally going to find a girlfriend, that girl never showed up again. Do you know why?"
Han Junche's face turned slightly pale, while Chi Xia smiled brightly and asked, "Why?"
At first, everyone listened with great interest, but when they saw Han Junche and Chi Xia's expressions, their eyes darted around and they fell silent.
Lin Yi was completely unaware; the alcohol was starting to take effect, and he was incredibly excited: "Because that girl thought she'd already won over the boss after all this time, she dressed up nicely that day and came to confess her feelings to him. But the boss just said, 'Who are you?'"
"The school beauty was stunned. She said she was the one who brought him breakfast. The boss nodded very primly and said, 'Your breakfast is pretty good. I was just about to talk to you about a monthly subscription.' After saying that, he infuriated her by handing over a few hundred yuan and asking, 'Is this enough?'"
"The school beauty was furious. She cursed him as a bastard on the spot and then never showed up again."
Lin Yi was very eloquent and spoke vividly: "Don't you think the boss is too ruthless?"
Chi Xia smiled and said, "How can you call that ruthless? Didn't he accept breakfast from others for more than half a month?"
Lin Yi's head was spinning and her reactions were slow. Hearing this, she laughed and said, "That's right. Thinking about it that way, the boss is quite chivalrous. To avoid upsetting the school beauty, he even accepted her breakfast and umbrella."
He had barely finished speaking when he belatedly noticed the sympathetic looks from the crowd.
Lin Yi blinked: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"It's nothing," Chi Xia said with a smile. "They just think what you said is really good."
Really?
"More real than pearls."
Lin Yi proudly raised her head: "That's right, I was the first speaker in the school debate back then, so my eloquence is naturally excellent!"
"Hehe." Qin Zhao smiled at him sympathetically: "I hope you say the same thing tomorrow morning."
Han Junche suddenly spoke up: "No, he has no chance."
Lin Yi looked bewildered: "Why?"
Han Junche looked at him with a sinister gaze and said, "Because you want to hang yourself from a tree in the southeast."
Of course, Lin Yi did not hang himself in the end. Instead, Han Junche dragged him out of bed before dawn to clean the roads in their neighborhood.
Lin Yi held a large broom, shivering in the biting cold wind.
