Chapter 18: The Bad Guy Chen Xiaozheng
Wang Yue often came here to eat, but he always paid. At first, they refused to accept his money, but Wang Yue insisted, saying he wanted to keep a low profile. After repeatedly asking them to keep it a secret, Zheng Wei generously took the money and gave him his change.
Through this steamed bun shop, Wang Yue became familiar with the people in Zheng Wei's dormitory, especially Zhu Xiaobei. Ever since she saw Wang Yue's spectacular basketball skills, she had completely transformed into his little fan girl.
Actually, Wang Yue knew clearly that this little girl, who was a bit too concerned about her image, just didn't know how to express her gratitude.
Wang Yue only heard about it occasionally when chatting with Zhu Xiaonan. She mentioned that ever since her sister was ridiculed in middle school, she generally kept her distance from outsiders.
After several years, Zhu Xiaobei called out to her sister affectionately in front of her classmates for the first time. Zhu Xiaonan was so happy that she secretly cried.
Wang Yue didn't know how to comfort her. This Zhu Xiaobei had been educated quite well by her sister. Apart from being a little too concerned about her image, she was otherwise a truly wonderful friend.
Zheng Wei wasn't as diligent about her part-time job as Zhu Xiaobei and Ruan Wan. She would often take time off, but everyone knew her personality and didn't say anything.
As for Wang Yue, who was essentially a hands-off manager, he wouldn't say anything either. He was currently troubled by the money that had just arrived in his account. Tens of thousands more had been added, and he couldn't just leave it there.
Wang Yue agonized for a few days, but thanks to Xiao Nai's excellent expression management, no one noticed his distress. After all, Wang Yue always gave off a cold and aloof impression. Only those who knew him well were aware of his true personality.
Zheng Wei always said he was a strange person, giving off a feeling of being hot and cold, sometimes diligent and sometimes lazy, a complete contradiction.
After Zheng Wei started working, Xu Kaiyang still tried to use his old methods to lure Zheng Wei into spending time with him, but it wasn't as easy as before. Zhang Kai also couldn't see Ruan Wan, whom he longed for day and night.
The discussion topics in Xu Kaiyang's dormitory were mostly about Zheng Wei and Ruan Wan. Chen Xiaozheng, on the other hand, seemed to live in his own world.
Recently, although their topic was still about the girls, there was a hint of melancholy. Chen Xiaozheng never participated in these discussions. Perhaps in Chen Xiaozheng's eyes, there was only studying and making money.
One day, they specifically looked up the course schedule for the first-year civil engineering department and found that they had no classes in the afternoon. They quickly invited Zheng Wei to their dormitory to watch a movie.
Zheng Wei had been busy for so long and had long wanted to relax. Coincidentally, Zhang Kai's invitation came just in time. However, Ruan Wan refused to go with her, so Zheng Wei happily set off.
When she arrived at Xu Kaiyang's dormitory, Xu Kaiyang had gone to other dormitories in their building to retrieve his own DVD player. The others were also coincidentally out. She then saw a model in the dormitory...
Wang Yue heard about Zheng Wei's experience that afternoon when he was at the steamed bun shop in the evening.
"Wang Yue, do you think that Chen Xiaozheng is particularly unmanly!" Zheng Wei was complaining to Ruan Wan and Zhu Xiaobei. When she looked up and saw Wang Yue and a few of his roommates eating wontons at a small table by the door, she decided to pull someone else in to share her grievances. She had never encountered such a situation before in her life.
"Mm, you're right!" Wang Yue quickly agreed, seeing her expression that clearly indicated she wouldn't play with him if he didn't agree. Besides, who was Chen Xiaozheng? He didn't know him anyway.
Seeing his reaction and noticing that Wang Yue's roommates were all the same, Zheng Wei quickly recounted what had happened that afternoon.
Zhang Yang, Han Wen, and Liu Lei acted like sycophants, even helping to denounce Chen Xiaozheng.
"You're not even defending me!" Zheng Wei, who had been feeling quite comforted, suddenly became unhappy when she saw that Wang Yue hadn't spoken up for her! Her aggrieved big eyes silently protested.
"Didn't Xu Kaiyang say it? That was something they ate, and you smashed their livelihood, and then you expected them to apologize!" Wang Yue shook his head.
"But he said it directly, why did he push me! He's just too uncaring towards women!" Zheng Wei wasn't unreasonable, she just hadn't been treated like this since she was a child and was momentarily upset.
"Do you know the origin of 'cherishing the fragile and pitying the beautiful'?" Wang Yue asked helplessly.
"How would I know? Ruan Ruan, do you know?" Zheng Wei turned and asked.
"Jin An Shou, two spring hearts should understand, cherishing the fragile and pitying the beautiful, turning the phoenix and embracing the dragon, people in the brocade alley." Ruan Wan answered after a moment of thought.
"See, right after 'cherishing the fragile and pitying the beautiful' comes 'turning the phoenix and embracing the dragon'. The ancients already told you, those who love to cherish the fragile and pity the beautiful are definitely lusting after your body!" Wang Yue said with certainty.
Then Wang Yue added, "The ancients also said that the poor don't pick their wives, and after getting enough to eat and warm, they think of lust. Chen Xiaozheng is currently in the stage of escaping poverty. Wait until he gets past this first stage, and he'll definitely take the initiative to apologize to you. I think you should be very confident in your appearance."
"How long will that take?" Zheng Wei's focus was slightly different.
"Hmm, wait until he graduates from university. After all, he'll be working. With his diligent study habits, he'll definitely be a white-collar worker in the future," Wang Yue gave his own answer.
Ruan Wan and Zhu Xiaobei watched them from the side, secretly giggling. They both felt that Wang Yue's crooked logic and strange theories actually had some merit. Zhang Yang and the other two were dumbfounded, never expecting their Boss to be so impressive.
"That long? By the time he graduates, we'll be scattered all over the country. If he wants to apologize, I won't even receive it!" Zheng Wei was very dejected.
"That's simple, just don't give him the chance to apologize. Let him regret missing the opportunity to interact with a beauty in the future," Wang Yue still had the air of acting for her own good.
"Mm, with his personality, he'll definitely not find a girlfriend!" Zheng Wei proudly raised her small face and waved her little fist.
"Right, he won't even find a boyfriend!" Before Wang Yue could finish speaking, he heard someone behind him burst out laughing.
Wang Yue looked and saw it was Zhang Kai, Xu Kaiyang, and Gong Cheng. Wang Yue was determined not to feel awkward; as long as he remained steady, the awkward one wouldn't be him.
Seeing the three of them arrive together, Zheng Wei immediately noticed Chen Xiaozheng wasn't there and happily said to Xu Kaiyang, "Xu Kaiyang, well done! Don't be friends with him!"
This made the male students roar with laughter. Ruan Wan and Zhu Xiaobei also covered their mouths and giggled, while Zheng Wei looked completely bewildered.
Her silly appearance directly touched some people's hearts. Only Zhang Kai was secretly watching Ruan Wan's blushing face, her heart warming up.
Wang Yue also felt an involuntary itch in his heart. Girls like this were rare in Wang Yue's era. Some girls understood things that made Wang Yue feel far behind.
This era is truly good! Youth is truly good!
Xu Kaiyang had originally felt that inviting Zheng Wei to watch a movie had led to such an unpleasant incident, and he had come to apologize. However, seeing that Zheng Wei seemed to be in a better mood now, he felt relieved. But the name Wang Yue, for the first time, made him remember.
