Chapter 158: Brothers in the Dormitory
The outside was silent for a while, and in the end, they didn't dare to kick the door, but just said: "Let Da Bin out." It seems that Lei Yu has some prestige in this grade. Lei Yu, with a cigarette in his mouth, squatted down in front of Da Bin and patted his face with his hand.
"Do you know whose dorm this is?"
Period.
"Will you come again in the future?"
"Not coming."
Lei Yu finally stood up: "Fourth, open the door and throw Da Bin out." The door opened, and a group of people were standing outside, but no one dared to come in. Da Bin and the two students were all thrown out, and the waiting students quickly "picked" them up.
The dormitory door closed again, and I rushed to Lei Yu and said, "Thanks."
"Thanks for nothing, I just want to play cards in peace." Lei Yu sat back down at the table and called out to his dorm-mates to come and play cards.
I knew it was just his excuse, so I took a deep breath and asked: "Why help me?"
"Cut the crap!" Lei Yu said impatiently, "This is my dorm room, they just barge in and start fighting, do we have any face left?" The others had already sat back down, reshuffling and dealing cards, entering a new round of gaming.
"But earlier in the classroom, you all wanted to gang up on me." I decided to get things clear: "I thought you all disliked me, and it was already good that you didn't kick me while I was down. Instead, you even lent a hand to help me, which really surprised me."
With a "slap", Lei Yu put down the card on the table and said seriously, "Alright, since we've brought up this matter, let's have a good talk. How long has it been since you came to Beiqi?"
I don't know why Lei Yu asked this question, but I still replied: "More than ten days."
"It's been over a dozen days." Lei Yu hummed: "Over a dozen days ago, when we found out that a new roommate was moving in, everyone was very happy and excited, because we were going to have another brother. Being able to live in the same dorm is what makes us brothers, it's something I always say. Because everyone treats each other as brothers, our dorm is more united than others, and also more difficult to mess with. It's because we all know that no matter who gets bullied or loses face, it's actually the entire dorm that loses face."
I nodded. Lei Yu's words were simple, but easy to understand. The power of an individual is weak, but the power of a whole dormitory is very strong, just like that ancient story, one chopstick is easily broken, ten pairs of chopsticks are not easily broken.
"Although we've only been living together for a few months, the concept of 'one dormitory is one brotherhood' has already taken root in our minds." Lei Yu continued: "On the first day we moved in, we decided to give a warm welcome and prepared white wine and small dishes. But, he didn't show up at all. No big deal, maybe he was busy on the first day, so we put away the wine and small dishes and waited for the next day. As a result, on the second, third, fourth... days, he still didn't show up, and that plate of small dishes went bad. In desperation, we had no choice but to throw it in the trash can."
After listening to Lei Yu's account, my face slightly flushed as I said: "We meet every day in class, why didn't you tell me?"
"What's the point of talking?!" Lei Yu hummed again, "Not even willing to come to the dormitory, what can we talk about? It seems like we're trying to curry favor or something. At least we know our new roommate is called Wang Hao, probably doesn't even know our names."
My face was not only hot, but also red, and I couldn't say a word. Lei Yu said again: "That Lu Xiang bullies us every day, and we can't bear it. To be honest, as long as you come to the dormitory once and chat with everyone, we will help deal with Lu Xiang without saying anything. But if you don't even touch the door of the dormitory, are we going to take the initiative to help because we have nothing better to do?"
"Later, we took in Lu Xiang." Lei Yu continued to say: "The means are old and the momentum is fierce. I said why he didn't bother to come and go with us, it turned out that his own strength was very strong, and he didn't need these brothers at all. So I couldn't help but decide to bring these brothers to teach him a lesson. But Zhou Mo revealed his true identity, and we only knew that it was indeed the legendary Wang Hao from Cheng Gao. Then I let go of my grudge, if it was really Wang Hao, looking down on us is normal, then everyone will not come and go in the future. As a result, he came to live tonight, and someone found trouble, how can we say that we are in the same dormitory? Even if he looks down on us, we can't just watch him get beaten..."
My heart warmed up, I opened my mouth and said: "Let's wait!" Then I turned around and left the dormitory, came to the small shop under the dormitory building. It was rare that it was still open so late, probably because they knew that business was better now. I searched for many snacks that could go with wine, such as peanuts, spicy bars and so on. I also bought two packs of cigarettes, holding a plastic bag and went upstairs.
After entering the dormitory, I put these things on the table and said: "Where is the white wine you guys prepared? Don't tell me you've already secretly drunk it, that's for welcoming me!" Lei Yu laughed and took out a bottle of white wine from under the bed.
I happily said: "Thank you, brothers, for looking up to me. I haven't been back to the dormitory these days because I've been staying at my girlfriend's place all the time. And I'm not good at socializing, which has disappointed everyone's kindness, it's my fault, and I hope you can forgive me! From now on, I will definitely stay in the dormitory often and strive to be a part of this dormitory!"
Everyone's emotions were high, and one by one they said: "Good! Good!" Lei Yu took out the wine cups again, unexpectedly finding that there was still a lot of liquor here. I poured wine for everyone, picked up my cup first and said: "I'll drink first to show respect and apologize to everyone!" After drinking, the crowd raised their cups and drank together. My heart felt warm and fuzzy, thinking that I was really lucky to have come to Beiqi and made such good brothers. In City High, my relationship with my dorm-mates was very shallow, and I envied the relationships of Shi Dong and his friends. Unexpectedly, this regret was made up for in Beiqi.
I downed three cups in a row, and everyone else followed suit. My alcohol tolerance is average, but after two liang of liquor, I started to feel my face burning and my ears getting hot. However, the excitement in my heart was genuine, and I couldn't stop smiling, feeling nothing but joy.
The dormitory can accommodate eight people, and before I came, two beds were empty. Now with me, there are seven people. One bottle of wine is not enough to drink, so Lei Yu took out two more bottles from under his bed, making me wonder how many more he had hidden underneath. After three rounds of drinking, everyone started talking more, and they asked about my experience at Chengdu High School. I told them everything without hiding anything, correcting some exaggerated rumors and telling them what really happened.
When it comes to Shi Dong's affairs, Lao Gou's affairs, everyone is a little tired of talking about it. Some say Shi Dong is a sentimental fool, others say Lao Gou is not a good thing, and some scold Su Xiao Bai as the most despicable person among the despicable people.
Later, talking about Su Xiaobai's affairs, someone asked: "Wang Hao, taking more than 200 thugs to beat up Su Xiaobai, is that true?"
I said: "It's true. But when I beat Su Xiaobai, I was the only one who took action."
Then did he kick one of his balls?
"Yes." I said: "Almost got jailed because of this, fortunately there was a nobleman who helped me, so I escaped the disaster of going to jail."
Everyone applauded and cheered, saying that good people have good rewards, which made me feel a bit embarrassed. This drink lasted until very late, and everyone had a great time chatting. Later, Lei Yu said: "Wang Hao, although you are a big shot in Cheng Gao and have created countless legends, it may not be the same when you come to Bei Qi. Mainly because your reputation is too loud, whoever wants to come and challenge you. Tonight, apart from Da Bin, at least a dozen people came to find you, but they all left after not seeing you. I estimate that there will be more trouble in the future, if you look down on brothers, then follow us in Bei Qi in the future, it's good for each other to take care of each other."
I smiled and said, "Then I'll have to rely on you brothers even more!" My heart was delighted, not just a little bit.
Everyone went to bed very late, and the next day they collectively skipped morning self-study. This is unimaginable in Chenggao, usually only I skip morning self-study, others are like thunder that can't move, getting up at 6 o'clock on time, just like Riri's rooster crowing in the morning. For the first time, I found a sense of home in Beiqi. It turned out that this school didn't reject me, but instead opened its arms and took me in.
This sleep was very solid, and no administrator came to check the dorm. The entire life of Beiqi is very casual, more lively than Chenggao High School. To put it bluntly, the school atmosphere is not strict, which is very suitable for our kind of mixed living.
It wasn't until the music of the eighth set of broadcast gymnastics came on after the second class that everyone opened their sleepy eyes, some getting out of bed, some washing up, and others staring blankly. Lei Yu and I sat facing each other, and I handed him a cigarette. Just as I was about to light it for him, he used a match instead. This reminded me of last night when we were drinking and he did the same thing, so I couldn't help but ask: "Why do you always use matches to light your cigarettes?"
"Don't you think it's cool like this?" Lei Yu lit a cigarette and puffed out smoke leisurely.
"Dare you tell the truth?"
"Okay," Lei Yu said: "When I was a kid, the first time I used a lighter, it exploded in my hand." Lei Yu spread out his hand for me to see, and indeed there was a shocking scar on it. "Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the rope. From then on, I didn't dare use lighters again. At first, even looking at one made me shudder all over, now it's much better, but I still can't touch it with my hand or put it in my pocket, otherwise my body would start shaking and I wouldn't be able to stand steadily." This kind of thing, no matter who it is, will be deeply buried in their heart. I didn't expect Lei Yu to be so frank with me, which moved me a lot.
"Hey, is there any wound you don't want others to expose?" Lei Yu asked me.
I fell silent for a moment before speaking up: "During my three years in junior high, I was the boy who got bullied the most in class. Lu Xiang wasn't lying, everything he said was true."
