(You Are Such a Devil!) Lin Wenxi's Sympathy Ploy Worked Again
← Ch.042 | Ch.044 → |
Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin walked together silently while carrying the books. Suddenly, Lin Wenxi and Gu Xi emerged from roadside shrubs and stood in front of them.
They were stunned upon seeing the two boys.
The moment Zhao Yuan saw Lin Wenxi, embarrassment quickly flicked across his face. He decided to ignore him and continued to walk ahead, while thinking, "Last night, I was too upset to tell him that I broke up with Chen Wanxin. Well, I think, I don't need to tell him about this now or in the future." When he was about to walk past the two boys, Gu Xi came up and asked smilingly, "Brother Yuan, may I help you? And this beautiful sister is..."
Chen Wanxin was glad to meet this pretty boy and said gleefully, "Are you a new student in this university? Look at you. You look even more slender than Wenxi."
Gu Xi and Chen Wanxin introduced themselves to each other. The next moment, they were surprised to find out that Lin Wenxi was gone.
"This little devil! Do you still think that you have a reason to be angry with me?" Zhao Yuan thought grumpily. He had just seen Lin Wenxi twitched his mouth toward him and left without saying a word.
This was their first lesson of this term. Zhang An'an and Shu Xiaoman sat in the last row, so did Wang Xiang, Zheng Kai and Gu Xi. Wang Xiang sat next to Zhang An'an. Zheng Kai was dozing in a corner of the lecture room while tilting his head to his left hand side. Upon seeing that, Gu Xi, who sat at Zheng Kai's left hand side, deliberately tilted his head to his right hand side. Like all the other good girls, Chen Wanxin sat in the front of the lecture room. Lin Wenxi sat between a wall and an empty seat. Upon seeing that, Zhao Yuan took the seat beside Lin Wenxi.
Lin Wenxi had refused to eat the breakfast food that Zhao Yuan had bought for him this morning.
Lin Wenxi refused to talk to him.
Now, Lin Wenxi even smiled at another boy who came to borrow a notebook.
Zhao Yuan felt irritated!
He managed to drive away all the four boys who sat around them. When they left with their belongings to find other seats, Zhao Yuan cheerfully sat beside Lin Wenxi again and enjoyed the peace.
When the class was over, Lin Wenxi picked up his textbook and wanted to leave. Zhao Yuan deliberately blocked his way. Lin Wenxi tried to push him aside but failed. He gritted his teeth and tried to stride over the desk. To his surprise, Zhao Yuan grabbed one of his feet and stopped him. Now Lin Wenxi was lying face down on the desk. He could neither get out nor retreat to his seat. He was embarrassed and blushed red.
After a moment, a teacher came in and saw them. She slightly pushed up her glasses and wanted to start this class. She felt that something was not quite right today and looked at the two boys again without saying a word. All the students in this lecture room shifted their gaze to the two boys. All of them knew Zhao Yuan, as he had seen him on the podium during the award ceremony of the military training.
The next moment, a piercing cry scared all the birds nearby away, and the two boys were asked to leave the lecture room. One of them still held some breakfast food in hand. In the room behind them, the teacher began to give her lecture.
"You've gone too far this time, Lin Wenxi!" Zhao Yuan complained while wiping a shoe print off his face.
"You're crazy!" said Lin Wenxi.
"You're crazy! You even refused to eat breakfast, " Zhao Yuan handed the breakfast food to Lin Wenxi.
Lin Wenxi turned his face to the other side to avoid the food. Gradually, beads of sweat began to form on his forehead and head, and his face became increasiningly pale. Upon seeing that, Zhao Yuan thought, "He doesn't look alright. Is he suffering from low blood sugar?" With this in mind, he put a straw into the soy milk bottle and fed it to Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxi kept stepping backward to avoid it until he fell to the ground.
"Don't you have to buy breakfast food for Chen Wanxin every day? Why do you still have time to take care of me?" Lin Wenxi said, his voice weak. Zhao Yuan was pleased upon hearing that. He rubbed his hands together and said."I'll tell you why when you finish your breakfast."
"No, I won't eat it."
"Come on, have a bite!"
"No, the food is cold now."
Lin Wenxi's face became as white as a piece of paper, and he started to sweat more profusely than before. Upon seeing that, Zhao Yuan felt anxious and ran away as fast as he could. After a while, he ran back to Lin Wenxi with warm sugar water and buns.
"It's still warm. You can eat now, " said Zhao Yuan.
"No, I can't eat unless you tell me why." Lin Wenxi held a stool to keep his balance and refused to eat again.
"Alright, alright. I broke up with Wanxin. She agreed and asked me to buy her breakfast every day for a month in return. That's why I buy breakfast for her every day!" Zhao Yuan sat dejectedly beside Lin Wenxi.
"But why?"
"I won't tell you anything unless you eat some food. You're such a devil!" Zhao Yuan suddenly stood up and said grumpily with his hands on his hips.
Lin Wenxi took a bite of a bun and asked, "Why did you break up with her?"
"Finish your breakfast first, " Zhao Yuan said and helplessly covered his face with his hand.
Lin Wenxi smiled and immediately drank up the soy milk. He was starving."I can listen to you while eating."
Upon hearing that, Zhao Yuan told him everything."She's just not the right girl for me."
"Then who is the right girl for you?" Lin Wenxi looked up at Zhao Yuan and asked with a smile.
Zhao Yuan touched his chin and said, "Uhm, I haven't met her yet."
"What did you say to those boys who sat around us? Why did they suddenly run away from us?" asked Lin Wenxi.
"I just threatened them by telling them that if they dare to get within one meter of you. I'll beat them up, " Zhao Yuan said proudly. Lin Wenxi frowned and said, "You can't do that anymore."
"Yes, Commander Wenxi." Zhao Yuan rubbed his hands together gleefully and added, "And you can't refuse to eat breakfast anymore."
"Why?" asked Lin Wenxi.
"If you don't eat breakfast, you'll have low blood sugar."
"Does that have anything to do with you?"
"Urg... when you have low blood sugar, I'll be scared and have high blood pressure."
"Pooh!"
The two of them sneaked back into the lecture room when the teacher did not pay much attention to them. They sat in the last row and beside Zhang An'an.
"Where's Zhou Nannan?" asked Lin Wenxi.
"Over there. She sits in the third row and near the right front corner together with Wang Zhengjuan. She still sits upright. Look at Wang Zhengjuan. She looks as if she was sticked to Zhou Nannan, " said Shu Xiaoman.
"You're really observant, " said Lin Wenxi.
"Don't disturb me. I'm chatting with Little Xixi, " Shu Xiaoman waved her hand to Lin Wenxi and said impatiently. Lin Wenxi was surprised and thought, "Little Xixi, that's his nickname we decied on yesterday. Why does he allow Shu Xiaoman to call him Little Xixi so quickly?"
Lin Wenxi had never expected Gu Xi to make friends with Zhang An'an and Shu Xiaoman so quickly. He told the two girls many things about himself.
In the beginning, Lin Wenxi could hardly believe that Gu Xi and Zheng Kai had been schoolmates since grade 7, as Gu Xi did not look like a Green Fields Military Academy graduate at all. After that, Gu Xi told them that Green Fields Military Academy also recruited students to study rear services and he was such a student."Students like me seldom received military training, and most of the time, we just learned something related to rear services, such as accounting, budget control and fire protection. When Zheng Kai graduated from the high school of the Green Field Military Academy, he chose to apply for Jifu University instead of continuing his studies in Green Fields Military Academy. As he got recruited by Jifu University, I also wanted to come here and applied for this university too." Jifu University had made an exception to recruit Gu Xi because he excelled in his high school and was exceptionally good at cooking and well-versed in the knowledge of budget management and the use of all kinds of financial software.
When the girls asked him about his relationship with Zheng Kai, Gu Xi said meaningfully, "That's a secret."
Upon hearing that, Lin Wenxi wondered, "What? 'That's a secret. ' The girls will think that he has admitted that there's something between Zheng Kai and him by saying that." Lin Wenxi could tell at a glance that the two girls were super interested in this pretty boy now.
He sighed secretly, "This Gu Xi is indeed a pure-minded boy. How can he tell someone that he has just met so many things about himself?"
When Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan went back to their dorm together in the evening, Wang Xiang watched Lin Wenxi alertly and then could not help but point a finger at him while saying, "Wenxi, you have this disease. Why do you conceal this fact from us? Do you know that... it's contagious."
Lin Wenxi was confused. He did not have any disease, except that he would occasionally catch a cold.
"Someone said, said that you have AIDS... Zhao Yuan, don't you know that?" Wang Xiang trembled and remained three steps away from Lin Wenxi.
"Do you know that?" Lin Wenxi took a step closer to Zhao Yuan.
"Zhao Yuan, be careful. It's not something trivial, " Wang Xiang said solemnly. He had never looked so serious before.
"That's alright. I hope, I hope to be infected, " Zhao Yuan raised his hands and chuckled.
"Are you crazy?" Wang Xiang shouted and then added in a low voice, "Wenxi, I'm sorry. I don't discriminate against you. I just think that you should tell us..."
"Zhao Yuan!" Lin Wenxi suddenly realized what Zhao Yuan had said to those boys sitting around them in the lecture room to drive them away. He picked up his pillow to slam Zhao Yuan's head. Zhao Yuan raised a hand, trying to stop Lin Wenxi, but he accidentally broke the pillow, shedding feathers throughout the room.
When the boys were engaged in the pillow fight, Chen Yuxin received a call.
"What? Still in the hospital?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I see. By the way, what about the background of Lin Wenxi?"
"He's from an ordinary working family in Yangzi County."
