Chapter Seventy-Three: Brothers for Life

  ♂?,,

  I took a look at her and jokingly said, "Right, aren't you heartbroken for him?" As soon as I finished speaking, I felt that my mouth was quite deserving of a slap. This joke was really not timely, especially at such a sensitive moment, it's truly deserving of death.

  Xia Xue was indeed unhappy: "Liu Zihong, get out of here. This class I want to sit with Wang Hao together."

  Liu Zihong left obediently. Xia Xue sat down and said seriously: "What did Wang Hao mean?"

  I knew I had misspoken, but still stubbornly said: "Isn't it to get along with him? Now that I haven't listened, and we're at odds again, I reckon he's quite unhappy."

  "I'm quite unhappy," Xia Xue said. "But it's not that I care about him, it's just... Wang Hao, even now, don't you understand my feelings? Is it fun to fight every day because of this?"

  I naturally understood Xia Xue's intention and stopped talking. However, Xia Xue took the initiative to hold my hand and asked with concern: "Wang Hao, how confident are you in fighting Su Xiao Bai? Do you need to use it, do you need to use it..."

  "Don't go looking for him." I grasped her hand tightly and said solemnly, "I've never done anything without being sure of it, so you can rest assured. Su Xiaobai is indeed very powerful, but I'm not afraid of him."

  "Hmm..." Xia Xue leaned on the table, looking at me sideways. Our hands under the table naturally didn't let go of each other anymore.

  Although neither of us said we'd get back together, we spent the whole morning sitting together, holding hands without letting go. Maybe we've already tacitly agreed on something... Peaches have their own advantages, and Xiaoxue has her own advantages too. At noon when school was dismissed, I prepared to send Xiaoxue home. As soon as I stood up, Xiaoxue said: "What's the matter?" I hesitated for a moment before saying: "I'm sending you back home."

  "I'm not going home." Xia Xue giggled and said: "For the next few days, I'll be eating in the cafeteria with you guys."

  "Why?" I asked in surprise: "Don't Mom and Dad cook anymore?"

  "They both went traveling and won't be back for over half a month."

  "They just leave their lovely daughter at home like this?" I said in surprise: "Aren't they afraid of wolves entering the house? How dangerous!"

  Xia Xue's small fist hit my waist, not only didn't hurt but felt numb and tingling. "Cut it out," Xia Xue chuckled and said: "Being on guard is enough, even if you're the number one big pervert in the world."

  This sentence makes me feel itchy in my heart, I grab her hand and say: "I'm the big bad wolf, sleep at home tonight?"

  "How lovely!" Xia Xue hummed a tune, her face showing no signs of displeasure, giggling as she ran out of the classroom, as beautiful as a butterfly. I was drawn to this butterfly, entranced by it, and took off after her in pursuit.

  I walked hand in hand with Xia Xue happily on campus, this behavior is absolutely taboo in a key high school, and any teacher who sees it will be educated, seriously, may even be taken to the teaching office. But we don't care, wantonly proclaiming the beauty of youth. Neither of us mentioned what happened before, and Xia Xue didn't force me to make a choice again.

  The Four Heavenly Kings followed behind me, and after following me for so long, they slowly gained the aura of a legendary mixed-blood. Every move they made was still quite stylish. At this time, there were more students walking around, and many people stared at me, with some voices floating over: "Look, that's Wang Hao!" "Is he the one who kicked open the doors of the sophomore and junior dorms last night?" "I heard he declared war on Su Xiaobai, saying whoever helps Su Xiaobai will be dealt with!" "Not to mention anything else, his girlfriend is pretty good-looking!"

  I knew that the plan to break the net last night was a great success, and now I really hope to have a face-to-face encounter with Su Xiaobai to see what his expression is like. When we arrived at the cafeteria, we finished our meal and sat down, only to suddenly realize that there was no one around us for several meters, and the people who were originally sitting nearby had also moved far away. I couldn't help but shake my head and smile wryly when I thought of the time when Mai Zi ate in a similar "vacuum" state.

  Xia Xue was very pleased with herself, using her elbow to nudge me, and laughed saying: "Not bad, you really do have some of the air of an elder now!"

  Just as they were eating, Lin Song led a group of four or five rascals over. "Hey, Hao Ge!" Lin Song called out happily.

  We quickly gathered around a table and Lin Song said: "Hao Ge, the news has spread, no one should dare to help Su Xiao Bai now."

  I nodded, this was to be expected. Su Xiaobai should be safe for a while now. As long as he doesn't bother me, I won't go looking for trouble with him either. Hit him? I'd rather not dirty my hands. Lin Song continued: "Hao Ge, you're now the top figure in the city's underground fighting scene, on par with Lao Gou and Brickhead. We're all proud of you! From now on, we can rely on your influence in the city's underworld. Heh heh, no need to fight alone like before, we're part of an organization now."

  I chuckled and said, "Don't say that, we're all brothers, it's only right that we help each other out when there's trouble."

  After dinner, I let the Four Heavenly Kings and Lin Song go back to their dormitory first, while I accompanied Xia Xue for a walk around the campus. Actually, the rest time in the afternoon was quite long, and I originally wanted to go to Xia Xue's home to play for a while. As a result, Xia Xue said: "Don't go, don't go, it will be troublesome." I pretended to be a little unhappy, and Xia Xue said again: "Go in the evening, what's the hurry?" My heart was excited, looking forward to tonight.

  In the afternoon, Hu Jianmin and Dai Zude came to me one after another, telling me about the current situation in school. What they said was similar to what Lin Song had told me, which was that my reputation has now caught up with Lao Gou and Zhu Tou, and absolutely no one dares to help Su Xiaobai.

  Until the second class, Ye Zhan didn't come to find me. I was a bit puzzled, after all, we slept together last night, this guy wouldn't wear pants and not recognize people, would he? Anyway, it's nothing, so I took Xia Xue to find Ye Zhan to play. As soon as we entered their class, I saw Ye Zhan and Su Wan sitting together intimately. This scene was really nothing special, but I quickly took Xia Xue to turn around and leave. Because Su Wan is a straightforward person, when she sees me and Xia Xue together, who knows what unpleasant things she might say?

  But Ye Zhan and Xia Xue didn't think of that. One said, "Where's the mouse going? Come in quickly." The other said, "How can you leave just after arriving?" I looked at Xia Xue speechlessly, so I lied that my stomach hurt and wanted to go to the toilet. Xia Xue then said, "Then go, I'll wait inside. I haven't really talked to Ye Zhan yet, he's our school's heartthrob." And she skipped away happily.

  I was speechless, hiding in the toilet to smoke a cigarette, thinking that Su Wan was straightforward and quick-witted, but Xia Xue wasn't easy to deal with either. If I weren't there, the two of them would have gotten into an even bigger fight, and I didn't know if Ye Zhan could handle it, so I extinguished my cigarette and returned to Ye Zhan's class.

  As soon as I sat down, I felt that the atmosphere was not quite right. Su Wan and Xia Xue were both icy-faced and didn't look at each other, ignoring each other. Ye Zhan had a worried expression on his face, but when he saw me come in, he hastily said: "Ah, Haoszi is back, sit down quickly."

  I took one look at this situation and knew things weren't quite right. I clutched my stomach again, saying: "It hurts a bit more, I'll have to go once more."

  It turned out that Ye Zhan was also holding his stomach and said, "I'm sure it's because of what we ate last night, I'm a bit uncomfortable too." He followed me out. After entering the bathroom, neither of us went to the toilet, both with worried expressions. I handed him a cigarette: "Tell me what happened, although I've already guessed." Ye Zhan sighed and said: "As soon as Xia Xue sat down, Su Wan asked in a strange tone, 'What's your relationship with Wang Hao?' Xia Xue immediately replied, 'What's the point of asking about our relationship?' I just remembered that Su Wan is in the same dormitory as Taozi, and bringing Xia Xue over wasn't purely to cause trouble, was it?"

  I was even more speechless and said: "As soon as I entered the door, I saw Su Wan, and I immediately wanted to turn around and leave, but she foolishly let me in."

  "Back then, I couldn't think of that many things. This is all because of being too fickle-minded, eating from the bowl while looking at the pot, can't you be more focused like me? Now, how are you going to wrap this up, have you decided to be with Xia Xue?"

  "I don't know if it's confirmed or not." I said honestly, "Neither of us has mentioned getting back together, but judging from the situation, we should be together. Since we are together, I'll prepare myself to focus on this and stop thinking about other messy things."

  Ye Zhan nodded and said, "Actually, that girl Taozi is not bad either. But since we've already made up our minds, let's just do it this way. In the future, don't be wishy-washy anymore. If you take care of one thing but also want to take care of another, isn't that like a bear trying to grasp two handfuls of millet at once? You'll drop one while picking up the other."

  "Alright, I know." I said: "Go in and help me call Xia Xue out. Just say that I'm waiting for her at the door."

  "Alright." Ye Zhan had just taken two steps when he turned back and said: "By the way, about Su Xiaobai..."

  "I already know," I said: "I've heard it over a dozen times today, hurry up and go help me call Xia Xue out."

  Ye Zhan chuckled and said, "Haozi, that broken net plan was pretty awesome. I didn't think Su Xiaobai would be taken care of so easily. Now I'm thinking what other problems in this world can stump me, how did I tolerate it for so long in junior high?"

  I shook my head and said, "It's different. Now and then are not the same. Whether it's the flour plan or the broken net plan, someone needs to help me out. I alone can't accomplish great things. In middle school... My voice dropped: "I didn't have a single friend... So..." By the end of my words, I couldn't speak anymore, and my heart felt like it was being pierced by an awl.

  Ye Zhan suddenly walked back and opened his arms to hug me.

  "Haozi, don't worry." Ye Zhan's voice was firm and powerful: "We are friends for a lifetime, brothers for a lifetime!"

  As I heard this, my nose turned sour and tears almost fell. Nobody knows how touching it is for a person who has been excluded and bullied for three years to hear these words. I also stretched out my arms, tightly hugged Ye Zhan, and said heavily: "Good!"
