Chapter 32: Youth Campus Chapter 5

  That night, n132 partied all night long.

  Good food, fine wine, and poker are enough to make these young men forget themselves and rock the world.

  As a gourmet and foodie monkey, he finally gained recognition from everyone for the first time, feeling that he was really thoughtful and had great taste. Although it's unclear how these things were obtained, with vague and mysterious words, but nobody cared, as long as there was something to eat.

  Everything was eaten to the last bit, and the wine was drunk to the last drop. Everyone was stumbling around preparing for bed. The monkey's intoxication took hold, and he suddenly remembered the miserable scene of Su Luo being refused a gift earlier. He couldn't help but blurt out what was on his mind.

  "Yan Shuai, I think Su Luo Luo is quite good, although her grades are not great, but she has a pretty face and a good figure. The key is that she treats you well. Look, she not only prepared gifts but also brought so many things to eat and drink. Why don't you just accept it? In this day and age, it's hard to find such a considerate girl who doesn't ask the boy to buy this or that for her. You're being unappreciative of your good fortune..."

  The monkey was speaking with a bitter tone and repeated words, but Yan Yun's face became increasingly ugly.

  "...Actually, being a good girl has its advantages, and even a bad student like me has her own strengths..."

  "As long as my girlfriend is considerate and good-looking, nothing else matters..."

  "...if you two get together, won't we have good food every day..."

  Bang!

  Yan Yun finally couldn't bear it anymore, and with one kick, the chair that had been pieced together was kicked upside down, and the unfinished rice boxes and soup were all scattered on the ground.

  This kick was so loud that everyone's wine was shaken awake, and the monkey only realized what he had said, hurriedly opening his mouth to explain: "General Yan, I meant..."

  "What are you talking about! Are you saying that all these things weren't bought by you, but by Suoluo instead? You clearly know I'm not interested in her, yet you're still doing this. What do you want me to do in the future? Aren't you tired of annoying me?" He kicked the chair again as he spoke.

  He never wanted to have anything to do with Suoluo, and now that he had confirmed his feelings for Zhou Xiaomeng, he needed to distance himself from her even more. But good brother was pulling him back, how could he not be angry?

  "Sorry, I didn't think that much of it, just thought she looked quite pitiful too... already bought it..." The monkey knew he was in the wrong and spoke in a sheepish tone.

  "Never mind, I'll return the money to her tomorrow. Let's go to sleep." It had come to this, and there was nothing else to be done. Yan Yu kicked off his shoes, climbed into bed, pulled the covers over his head, and fell silent. The others also quietly retreated into their own beds, leaving behind a messy room and a house full of food smells.

  The monkey rubbed his nose awkwardly, thinking to himself, "Sulolo, you've really gotten me killed. The saying 'beautiful women bring calamity' is indeed true." Afterwards, he couldn't resist the feeling of sleepiness and went to bed to meet Lord Zhou.

  The next day, Su Luo hadn't even finished her breakfast when she received a text message from Yan Yu, asking her to wait for him at the entrance of the cafeteria. Her mood, which had been gloomy since yesterday's gift-giving rejection, suddenly lifted up.

  "Alright, I'll be right there, don't leave without me (*≧▽≦*)" Her fingers flew quickly over the keyboard, responding in seconds with a cute emoticon added on.

  Yan Yu looked at the reply, extremely annoyed, and scratched his head. Why was this girl so persistent? He had rejected her many times, but she still wouldn't give up, like a cockroach that couldn't be killed. Sometimes he really wanted to ask her, what did she like about him? Could he change for her sake?!

  "Master, I want two meat buns, a tea egg, and a bottle of milk. Make it hot, I'm in a hurry, please make it quick! Please! Please!" Thinking that Yan Yu hadn't eaten breakfast, he didn't even have time to finish his own leftovers, and rushed to the window to order another portion according to his usual habit.

  "Hey, how dare you cut in line!" The people who were originally waiting in line saw a woman suddenly rush out and brazenly insert herself at the front of everyone, becoming the first one. They were furious. What kind of nerve does she have? Everyone is in a hurry in the morning, and the cafeteria isn't her own home, how can she be so arrogant?!

  "Sorry, sorry, sorry! I really have an emergency." Su Luo apologized repeatedly, knowing that cutting in line was not good, but she didn't want to miss the opportunity to show off in front of her crush, and was afraid that he would leave first, so she had no choice but to resort to this tactic. "I'll put my meal card with the teacher, everyone can use mine for now, consider it my apology. Thank you! Thank you everyone!" She clasped her hands together, making a pitiful yet cute gesture, batting her eyelashes.

  "Never mind, never mind. Master, you go ahead and give her the change." Seeing her attitude was so sincere, it wasn't worth arguing over two buns' worth of money, everyone thought maybe she really did have an emergency, and they all waved their hands to indicate they didn't mind.

  Su Luo was unwilling to go, insisted on treating him to a meal, took out the portion he had given to Yan Yu, and turned around to run.

  "Master, I'll come back for the card at noon, don't lose it!" Then he disappeared in a flash.

  Master Fu and everyone else looked at her running back with a black line on their faces.

  Which class is this student from? He's really something, throwing dozens of punches!

  The cafeteria entrance was crowded with students buying breakfast, Su Luo rushed out with a burst of laughter, and saw Yan Yu at a glance, his height of 1.8 meters stood out among the group of immature junior high school students.

  "Yan Yu, I'm here! Have you had breakfast? I bought you buns, milk and eggs." She proudly waved the steaming hot breakfast in front of Yan Yu. Although the title "male god" was enough to express her liking for Yan Yu, Yan Yu didn't like being called that, so she could only secretly call him that in her heart.

  Yan Yun rolled her eyes inwardly, here we go again! She was too lazy to open her mouth to refuse, so she directly chose to ignore him.

  Fortunately, he had taken some cash from home last week and since there was no place to spend it at school, more than a thousand yuan remained until today. He took out his wallet from his pocket and pulled out a small stack of one hundred yuan bills:

  "Here's the money for what you ate yesterday, not enough? I'll make up the difference. And please don't do this again in the future, it really bothers me. One more thing, I'm being serious, I'm really not interested in you, can you please keep a distance from me? Please, I'm begging you!" He said, shoving the money into Suoluo's hand, which was still holding onto her bag, without even looking at her, and turned to head towards the classroom. He didn't plan on eating breakfast either, anyway he had no appetite.

  Su Luo's originally cheerful expression instantly froze on her face, awkwardly at a loss.

  Am I really this annoying?

  Her small face scrunched up like a bitter melon, her mouth pouting, looking wronged to the point of tears.

  It's not the first time I've been rejected by Yan Yu, I thought I was used to it, but apparently not.

  If it were someone else, she might have punched him in the face. But it was Yan Yu, so she didn't dare to, nor did she want to scare him off or leave a bad impression on him.

  The steamed buns in his hand gradually lost their heat, and the people around him who were buying breakfast also dispersed one after another.

  The school bell rang loudly.

  Su Luo furiously picked up the bun in her hand and took big bites, "Damn Yan Yu! Rotten Yan Yu! You're a big scoundrel!!" She muttered unclearly while eating, but repeated the same few sentences over and over. (Uncultured, how frightening!) The tea egg wasn't even peeled clean, still with some eggshell on it, she stuffed it into her mouth, and the milk was gulped down loudly...

  I've finally finished getting rid of everything and feel a bit relieved. I wiped my mouth and got ready to head back to the classroom.

  He hadn't taken two steps when his stomach churned violently, "Ugh——!"

  I'm full, I've eaten too much, it's stuffed.

  Just as she thought the campus was going to be polluted, a trash can with an angelic halo appeared in the distance, and she rushed over with her mouth covered, vomiting loudly.

  "Oh no——oh no——"

  As I vomited, tears also fell down with it.

  This isn't crying, it's just a normal physiological reaction, her stomach hurts too much. Hmm! She comforted herself like this.

  ……

  After that day, Su Luo calmed down for a long time, and Yan Yu also felt that the world had become much quieter.

  Major exams, minor exams, mid-term and final exams. Such are the days of a student's life.

  After a brief winter break, it's another new semester.

  This year's New Year's Day is early, and by Valentine's Day, it's already the second week after school starts. Although there are no holidays, seemingly unrelated to their age group, many students are still eager for this day to arrive, such as Yan Yu.

  He was going to do something earth-shattering under the encouragement of his buddies, and formally confess to Zhou Xiaomeng, whom he had secretly liked for several months.

  "Is this really going to work? I feel like it's kind of stupid." Yan Yu asked uncertainly, turning to his group of friends. He had no experience in chasing girls, as in the past, girls would always take the initiative to approach him, so this time he could only gather the collective wisdom of the crowd, hoping to win over Zhou Xiaomeng with one move.

  "Believe me, it's true! My brother-in-law did statistics in college and this is absolutely the most successful way to confess ever, no exception. Many guys have won over their goddesses with this move, let alone someone as handsome as you, if it doesn't work, it's unjust." Dog Head Military Advisor Shi guaranteed with conviction. Influenced by the girls, they now also call Yan Yu "Commander Yan".

  "Yes, girls all like romance, candles, roses, so sentimental! Zhou Xiaomeng will definitely not be able to withstand such an attack." The monkey also expressed agreement.

  "Alright then, I'll trust you this once." Anyway, there's no better way out of this.

  "What about the dorm manager?" Fatso was always the most down-to-earth and thoughtful one.

  "Right, and there's this old man too, you didn't mention him or I would have almost forgotten, otherwise..."

  "No, no......"

  "I think it's still..."

  “……”

  A few words from you and a few words from me, we finally nailed down the plan of action, just waiting for nightfall.

  "Zhou Xiaomeng...! I like you...! Be my girlfriend...! I'll be good to you...!" With the strong support of his brothers, Yan Yu bought flowers and prepared gifts. Under the flickering candlelight, he cleared his throat and began his first confession in life.

  "Wow!!!!! Who is this guy? He's got a lot of guts and he's so handsome too!"

  "Yan Yu from Class 1 of Senior High School Year 2, you don't even recognize the school's heartthrob, that's too outrageous!"

  "He's Yan Yu, no wonder so many girls in our class have a crush on him!"

  "Yan Shuai is really powerful, worthy of being a model for us men, and can be recorded in the annals of F City No. 1 Middle School!"

  "I told you earlier that Yan Shuai had a crush on our class monitor, but you didn't believe me. Now look at this!"

  "I really envy Zhou Xiaomeng, so happy, so romantic!"

  "Extra! Extra! Big news! Someone is publicly confessing their love under the girls' dormitory! Hurry up and come watch, don't miss it if you're passing by!"

  “……”

  In the first month of Taisho, except for a few bookworms, who can really calm down and study well. Just as soon as an eighteen gossip came, it caused a sensational effect in no time. Classmates were like flash mobs, except for those following Zhou Xiaomeng, they occupied advantageous positions on the balcony, while others rushed from all directions, surrounding Yan Yu layer by layer.

  Although I had long been mentally prepared to be surrounded, who would have thought that the situation would be so exaggerated and terrifying. Yan Yu's intestines were now green with regret, but he couldn't back down, and had no choice but to continue calling out Zhou Xiaomeng's name. At this point, if he retreated, not only would he be laughed at, but more importantly, if Zhou Xiaomeng misunderstood that he had given up, the joke would be huge. So he could only grit his teeth, even though everyone around him was a fool, and just lose face. He could only hope that Zhou Xiaomeng would come out soon, to end this farce.

  "Zhou Xiaomeng! Be my girlfriend! ……" He continued to shout, this is the first time he has ever been so embarrassed in his life, and from now on he will never believe those few rascals' nonsense again.

  What about the female lead? Why hasn't she appeared yet? Didn't you hear?

  It's impossible. Zhou Xiaomeng lives on the second floor, and Yan Yu is standing right in front of her door, only a few meters away, plus the commotion around here is so big that even a deaf person would have felt it.

  In fact, when Yan Yu appeared for the first time, some classmates had already informed Zhou Xiaomeng.

  Although being confessed to had become routine for her and she was very experienced in handling it, this time was different. Because that person was Yan Yu, the white prince charming in the hearts of countless girls, and also the type of man she would secretly admire when watching movies occasionally. Although she complained "how could he do this" with her mouth, her heart was sweet, a little shy and happy, plus the tone of envy or jealousy from people around her, and a bit of pride that satisfied her vanity.

  "Xiao Meng, why don't you go out and take a look? If you keep shouting like this, the teacher might come over." A girl advised her.

  "Yes, otherwise you'd better agree. That's Yan Yu, not only is he handsome, but it's said that his family is particularly wealthy, just look at what he wears every day." Another girl also came to persuade her.

  "If you can marry him in the future, it's also considered marrying into a wealthy family. Don't forget about us at that time!"

  "Am I that superficial? What does it have to do with me if he has money?" Zhou Xiaomeng originally still had some misgivings, but after being spoken to like this by the two of them, as if she had been deeply insulted, immediately put down her face and made a decision.

  She got up and pulled out a basin from under the bed, then walked out of the room.

  Yan Yu saw her coming out and quickly raised his voice: "Zhou Xiaomeng, I like you, did you hear that?"

  "Waaaah——!" "Waaaah——!"

  "Zhou Xiaomeng, agree with him!" "Zhou Xiaomeng, agree with him!"

  The people around him cheered even more enthusiastically, with whistles rising and falling in waves.

  Zhou Xiaomeng, however, seemed to have not heard anything and walked straight into the bathroom. She turned on the faucet, filled a large basin with water, and then carried it back out while holding her face basin.

  Yan Yu looked at Zhou Xiaomeng again and turned back, thinking that she was moved by her sincerity, and quickly took a few more steps forward, looking up expectantly at her, waiting for her response.

  Can't help but say, Yan Yu is too naive. If it were in the online environment of later generations, people who have seen some jokes would understand the joke of being rejected after confessing, but now these inexperienced high school students don't know and just think Zhou Xiaomeng is preparing to wash up.

  "Whoosh!" Zhou Xiaomeng didn't say a word, and under Yan Yu's unguarded circumstances, she stretched out the entire basin of water from the corridor, drenching him to the bone.

  Sorry, it's not intentional, you're just too high-profile. I have to make my position clear, otherwise everyone will think that I'm being ambiguous with you because of your good looks or rich family background. Moreover, I need to study hard and prepare for the college entrance exam. Sorry, hope you can forgive my difficulties!

  She explained with a guilty conscience.
