Chapter 45: The Farewell Dinner

  After several hours, Su Qingchen slowly opened her eyes, stretched lazily and looked out the window. Unintentionally, the sky had already darkened, and she sighed that time passed quickly while cultivating.

  Su Qingchen spat out a mouthful of turbid air, rubbed his slightly concave belly, and stood up to walk towards the door. Just as he was about to open it, he found that the dormitory's large door was rushing towards him. In a state of urgency, Su Qingchen's right hand forcefully pushed forward, and the door closed again along its original trajectory.

  Bang

  A muffled sound was followed by two extremely lewd laughs from outside the door.

  Su Qingchen rolled her eyes, cautiously opened the dormitory door, and when she saw Liu Yun covering his nose with his hand, those pitiful eyes made Su Qingchen a bit embarrassed. To comfort Liu Yun and make herself feel better, Su Qingchen waved at Wang Xing and Zhu Ming who were laughing loudly.

  Wang Xing and Zhu Ming saw Su Qingchen calling them, instantly stopped smiling, stunned for a moment, and walked over. When they reached the door and hadn't had time to ask Su Qingchen what was going on, the door rushed towards them again.

  Su Qingchen opened the door without hearing any laughter outside, and Wang Xing and Zhu Ming's bright red noses made Su Qingchen feel a little relieved, with a desire to laugh. When he saw Liu Yun's bright red nose and his wronged face, Su Qingchen looked down at his already bright red fat hand, sighed, patted Liu Yun's shoulder, shook his head, and didn't say anything.

  After the three people's red marks on their noses disappeared, Su Qingchen slowly opened his mouth and said: "Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner, as compensation for you."

  Wang Xing let out a sigh, looked at Su Qingchen with a resentful face, and nodded reluctantly.

  Su Qingchen walked behind Wang Xing and the others, constantly observing them. He was puzzled in his heart, wondering why they came back so late and their clothes were so dirty. If Liu Yun was a bit sloppy, then Wang Xing, who was extremely clean, must have been doing something unusual earlier. Su Qingchen decided to ask them about it during dinner.

  A moment later, the four of them arrived at a small wine house opposite the college and sat down around a small square table. Liu Yun patted the wooden table with his hand and shouted loudly: "Boss, bring us your best dishes and your best wine." After finishing speaking, he smiled at Su Qingchen, and then that fat little hand knocked on the table, as if he was the one who invited everyone to dinner today, and he didn't care about the money.

  Wang Xing stared at Su Qingchen's expressionless face, then turned his head to shout to the boss who was about to enter the house: "Add another 10 kilograms of sauce beef!" As Wang Xing spoke, he thought for a moment with a pouted mouth, and then waved his hand at the boss. "Just order these first, if it's not enough, we'll call out again." After finishing, he smiled slightly at Su Qingchen.

  After hearing Wang Xing finish speaking, Zhu Ming and Liu Yun gave Wang Xing a nod of approval with their eyes, as if to say that his points were very good.

  Su Qingchen's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a look of confusion appeared on his face. In his heart, he couldn't help but think that these guys hadn't eaten for months, and they weren't afraid of bursting their stomachs with ten kilograms of sauce beef. And then there was Liu Yun, the dead fatty, who directly ordered the best dish, as if waiting to be slaughtered.

  Su Qingchen looked up at the three people in front of her, and when she saw their lewd smiles, Su Qingchen took a deep breath to calm down her excited emotions and quietly waited for the boss to serve the dishes.

  After a while, the dishes started to come up one after another. Su Qingchen politely let them eat first, but Wang Xing and others directly brought the dishes in front of themselves, sweeping away a meal in an instant. In just a few seconds, the plates were already sparkling clean.

  In the midst of Su Qingchen's silence, Wang Xing and the others devoured dozens of dishes like hungry wolves, not leaving even a single scrap for Su Qingchen. This made Su Qingchen feel depressed while also confirming that Wang Xing and the others were absolutely being bullied and oppressed.

  Su Qingchen rubbed his nose, looking at the boss who walked over with a shocked face, his face slightly red, sitting with this group of hungry wolves, today was really embarrassing.

  The landlady looked at the empty plates on the table, stunned for a moment before revealing a hint of joy, quickly clearing the plates and bringing out a large iron basin from behind the kitchen.

  Bang

  The landlady put ten kilograms of braised beef on the table. Wang Xing and his two companions, who had already devoured dozens of dishes, lit up when they saw the braised beef. The landlady, seeing their expressions, curled her lip and said, "You can eat slowly, I'll call for more if it's not enough." She then smiled awkwardly and turned to leave.

  Su Qingchen saw the situation was not in his favor, so he quickly stretched out his hand to block the iron plate. In an instant, his hand hurt and there were six greasy pig trotters on his hand. Su Qingchen glared at Wang Xing and the others, cleared his throat, and said in a low voice: "You guys should pay attention to your image, after all, you are students of Stanford Academy. Can't you not lose face for our commoner class? Even if we don't mention this, can't you not lose face for me, your leader?"

  Wang Xing and a few others curled their lips, looking at Su Qingchen with an unusual gaze, as if to say that the last sentence was what he really wanted to say. The three of them simultaneously showed disdain in their eyes.

  Su Qingchen let out a helpless sigh, flung off the six greasy pig trotters, and with a serious expression, said: "I invited you all to dinner today because I have something to say. Take a look at yourselves, I've only been away for a few days and you're already in this state. Are you going to pretend not to know me when we go out from now on?"

  Wang Xing's eyes rolled around and he felt something was off. He smiled and said: "Boss, what do you want us for?"

  Su Qingchen rubbed his head and looked up at Wang Xing: "What's going on with you guys lately, can you tell me what's going on?"

  Su Qingchen had just finished speaking when Liu Yun slapped the table and immediately opened his mouth in anger: "Boss, I'm telling you, actually..."

  Liu Yun opened his mouth to speak, and Wang Xing quickly reached out to grab Liu Yun's arm, giving him a warning look. Liu Yun pouted and swallowed the words he was about to say. He then picked up a piece of braised beef with his hand and started devouring it in big bites, as if trying to vent all his anger on the meat.

  With Pong Zi Liu Yun leading the way, Wang Xing and Zhu Ming also got moving, and the three continued their frantic state from earlier.

  Su Qingchen let out a sigh, stretched out her hand and slapped the table hard, "Bang", a crisp sound, leaving five fingerprints on the table, as if telling others that she was angry.

  As Su Qingchen's crisp slapping sound on the table, Wang Xing and the other two stopped their movements, staring at Su Qingchen in a daze. A inexplicable feeling, inviting someone to eat but also scaring them, is this how one should behave as an elder?

  "I know you guys have something going on, if you still plan to keep deceiving me, then this meal will be our farewell dinner, from now on, no one knows anyone." Su Qingchen said with a face full of anger.
