Chapter 107 The Harder You Try, the More Unfortunate You Are
Putting the whole thing together, Chu Shi realized belatedly that something was wrong, and after living for more than 20 years, he was speechless for the first time in his life.
"No, his foot was injured, so it was inconvenient for him to come to eat." Chu Shi took out a meal card from his pocket, and hurriedly explained, "It was the money in his meal card that was spent."
So it should be reasonable to bring food to Shen Zhi...right?
Chu Shi looked at Song Hengyang and Fang Hao who were sitting there, trying to find convincing evidence.
Obviously, to no avail.
He was not sure whether his explanation would have the desired effect, but now he did not want to stay here any longer. Chu Shi tried his best to maintain his last bit of dignity and nodded as calmly as possible, "I'm leaving first."
The phone rang out of nowhere, "You look really crazy when you try so hard to explain..."
Chu Shi: ...
Song Hengyang: …
Fang Hao: ...
The stagnant air condensed among the three people.
The first one to react was Fang Hao. When he realized that it was his rebellious son making the noise, his eyes widened like bells.
Fang Hao frantically took out his phone and turned off the screen, then frantically apologized to Chu Shi, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. The ringtone is built-in and has nothing to do with me. Brother Chu, I'm so sorry."
"It's okay," Chu Shi squeezed out these two words from his throat. Fang Hao's overreaction seemed to be an indirect confirmation of something.
It made him look like a suitor who coveted Shen Zhi, a man who threatened his good brother to exclude him, and then secretly showed his courtesy and scheming.
Now the self-destructing werewolf has been ruthlessly exposed, and one of his little brothers is frantically covering up for him to save his face.
Chu Shi couldn't help but explain further.
His meal card was damaged by Shen Zhi, and Chu Shi didn't go to get a replacement because he thought it was troublesome and he didn't eat at school often.
He didn't go out to eat today and planned to get something at school, but then he remembered that his meal card was broken, so he took the meal card that Shen Zhi had left on the table.
After Shen Zhi broke his meal card, he gave him his own meal card and asked him to use his own card before applying for an additional card. Chu Shi took it without thinking too much.
When he arrived at the restaurant, he originally planned to buy a dish and leave, but he remembered how Shen Zhi bit his lips until they turned white yesterday because of the pain in his feet, so he bought one more portion. After all, it was someone else's money that he spent, so it wouldn't matter if he took a meal with him.
Chu Shi went to the first floor, but lost his appetite after seeing the mediocre home-cooked meals. He then went to the most expensive restaurant in the school and bought two fillet steaks. He did not use Shen Zhi's money because Shen Zhi did not have enough money on his meal card.
He used his own.
But there is no need to tell Song Hengyang and the others the last sentence.
"I don't have a good impression of Shen Zhi, and I brought him lunch out of friendship," Chu Shi explained coldly.
Fang Hao nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice, and quickly agreed: "I understand, I understand, I understand everything."
Chu Shi: ...
Fang Hao's three fatal attacks made it seem as if he was trying to cover up his crime.
After Chu Shi realized this, he decisively shut up.
The warning left by our ancestors, "the more you speak, the more mistakes you make", was fully demonstrated in him today.
"I'm leaving," Chu Shi couldn't stay any longer. This place made him feel like sitting on pins and needles.
"Hey, okay, take care, Brother Chu." Fang Hao stood up and watched Chu Shi leave. He wanted to make up for the embarrassing situation just now, so he smiled very flatteringly, "The food will not taste good if it gets cold."
Chu Shi, who was about to reach the door, paused slightly, and then fled at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After saying this, Fang Hao wanted to bite off his tongue.
Fang Hao covered his mouth in horror and said something sinful again.
Fang Hao looked at Song Hengyang opposite him as if asking for help. God wanted to force him to death by making him a socially phobic person.
"I will forget it completely," Song Hengyang said considerately to comfort Fang Hao who was full of despair.
Fang Hao clutched his phone and smiled bitterly. What was going on? He wanted to slap himself in the face.
Fang Hao rubbed his face, let out a breath, and sat alone in his seat.
Song Hengyang glanced at the door for a second longer. The scene of Chu Shi's escape was still vivid in his mind. He rarely saw his brother, who was two years older than him, behave in such an unexpected manner.
Song Hengyang looked at the macaroni on the plate that had not been touched much, and raised his hand to order another portion of fillet.
A message popped up on Song Hengyang's phone, "Junior, there's a student gathering tonight, come and play?"
"No, thank you," Song Hengyang looked at the unfamiliar contact on his phone and thought that it should be the senior from the Student Union whom he had added during rehearsal.
"Come on, our president is coming tonight too, it's hard to invite him. Before you, he was the most handsome guy in Yuchuan, I'll introduce him to you. Don't you want to join the student union?" The senior student opposite me kept persuading me, and then sent several emoticons, "You should think about it."
Song Hengyang stroked the screen of his phone with his fingertips. "I'll think about it carefully."
Song Hengyang sent it over, and the other party immediately sent the location, "We estimate that the show will end at midnight, so you can come any time you want."
Song Hengyang checked the location and exited the chat interface. No new friends popped up in the address book. The teacher of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition asked Senior Shen to add him.
He has not received any friend requests yet.
Probably he forgot. Song Hengyang sent a message to someone unknown, received a string of numbers, copied and pasted the request, and then hung up his phone.
After the fillet was ready and Song Hengyang finished eating, Fang Hao slowly came over.
"Brother Chu should have gone far away," Fang Hao's eyes were dull and filled with numbness caused by the pressure of life's drama.
Song Hengyang glanced at his watch and nodded: "We should be at the dormitory by now."
Chu Shi arrived at the dormitory and placed the packed steak on Shen Zhi's desk. "I took your meal card. When I went to buy food, I found that there was no money in the card, so I bought an extra portion and brought it back to you."
Chu Shi explained.
Shen Zhi's eyes trembled slightly as he looked at the beautifully packaged bag in front of him, his fingers slightly curled.
I couldn't help but wonder what Chu Shi meant. Did he see that he was pretending to be rich, or was he just saying it casually?
Shen Zhi's self-esteem got the better of him and he was always suspicious. He suffered a lot because of this matter.
Shen Zhi tried hard to control his sensitive expression and thought of the best side. Rich people don't necessarily have to spend money on their meal cards.
For example, Qin Dingzhuo didn't have much money in his meal card.
Shen Zhi looked at Chu Shi naturally, his maple-syrup eyes hiding his shameful meanness, and smiled and said thank you, "Thank you, I'll treat you next time."
Chu Shi held his chin, glanced at Shen Zhi, and nodded silently.
Shen Zhi opened the lunch box and ate the cut steak with a fork. He couldn't actually tell the quality of the steak, nor did he understand why such a small piece of steak cost three figures.
Fortunately, this time the steak was cooked through, and there was no blood to make him feel uncomfortable.
Shen Zhi's phone vibrated. It was a friend request.
Shen Zhi didn't care.
It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon when Shen Zhi found some new clothes to change into.
Chu Shi, who was wearing headphones, glanced at Shen Zhi unintentionally, and happened to see the two narrow and naturally smooth waistlines after Shen Zhi took off his white shirt. Chu Shi's eyes seemed to be pricked by needles, and he quickly looked away.
There is one bad thing about people: they always go over the things they don't want to think about over and over again in their minds.
The embarrassing experience this afternoon was still lingering in Chu Shi's mind, causing him to feel a little weird when he saw Shen Zhi's half-naked body.
Shen Zhi put on a short-sleeved shirt and tidied up his messy hair, looking more energetic than usual.
The different attires attracted Chu Shi to take a closer look.
Shen Zhi turned around and met Chu Shi's gaze. The corners of his thin eyes raised, and his pupils were filled with doubt. Then he smiled and said tentatively: "I'll leave first, and I'll be back after ten o'clock."
As if reporting to Chu Shi.
Chu Shi nodded, turned his head, closed his eyes and continued listening to the song.
I don’t know if it was Shen Zhi’s mistake, but Chu Shi paid too much attention to him today. Maybe he was afraid that he would come back too late and disturb his rest?
Shen Zhi thought about telling Chu Shi the time he would be back, which was an hour earlier than Chu Shi's normal rest time. After he said that, Chu Shi ignored him and Shen Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, she was afraid of disturbing his rest.
Shen Zhi arrived at their gathering place at around seven o'clock, just as the party was about to begin.
Ruan Zhu was wearing a halterneck green miniskirt, revealing a pair of white and slender legs, making her look tall and youthful.
She held up her wine glass and complained to the girl sitting next to her: "Lulu, why didn't you tell me? I've already asked Senior Shen. This is so embarrassing."
Ji Shilu hugged Ruan Zhu and comforted her, "It's not a big deal. Just ask more. What if your long-cherished Song wants to come?"
Ruan Zhu was disappointed that she didn't invite Song Hengyang, so she complained to her best friend.
Ji Shilu was a person of straightforward temper. She controlled her temper and didn't tell Ruan Zhu until the time of the party. She had invited Song Hengyang again, and who knew for sure whether Song Hengyang would come.
Ruan Zhu only then realized that Ji Shilu had asked Song Hengyang again, and quickly told her that she had asked Song Hengyang through Senior Shen before and was rejected.
Ruan Zhu felt that she had asked the president and was rejected. Now she went to find the person involved. If he really agreed, it would be embarrassing for the president who rejected him on behalf of others. If he was rejected again, it would be too embarrassing for her. In short, it was inappropriate.
Ruan Zhu couldn't be happy, as if she didn't believe the president.
Ji Shilu coaxed her, "Don't pout like a little duck. I'm not using your name, and if anything goes wrong, it's me who's to blame. You like Song Hengyang, and if you don't fight for him, I have to work harder for you, otherwise if he's snatched away, you'll cry to me for days."
Ruan Zhu forced a smile and said hesitantly, "Will the president be unhappy if he knows?"
Ji Shilu actually didn't like Shen Zhi very much. "It doesn't matter whether he's happy or not. He said he and Song Hengyang are good friends. Song Hengyang has only been here for a few days. Maybe Shen Zhi doesn't know him at all and rejected him."
Ruan Zhu felt that what she said made some sense, but she still tried to dissuade her, "Don't say that."
Ji Shilu shut up obediently. She just wanted to see that the senior that everyone liked was acting so fake.
"Senior, you're here?" Ruan Zhu had just finished listening to her bestie complaining about Shen Zhi when she saw the person involved. She didn't know if the person had heard their conversation, as she looked a little embarrassed.
Shen Zhi's eyes naturally passed over the girl next to Ruan Zhu, and he smiled, "I just got here not long ago too."
Ruan Zhu heard this and blinked subconsciously, thinking it was good that he didn't hear it.
She likes Senior Shen very much. He is gentle and polite.
However, Senior Shen seemed to be in a bad mood and drank a lot of alcohol today.
"Senior, is there anyone to pick you up today?" Ruan Zhu asked hurriedly when he saw that Shen Zhi's eyes were watery and he was not quite sober.
Shen Zhi shook his head, and the phone in his hand lit up faintly.
This is a friend request.
