Brothers, Beat Him Up!

After watching Tang Enqi leave, Xu Xiaojia pouted and couldn't help but ask, "Little Luo Ye, do you know this White Lotus?"

"White Lotus?"

Luo Ye looked at Xu Xiaojia, a little confused.

Was Tang Enqi being called a White Lotus?

Even though he didn't like her anymore, whether she was a White Lotus... he really didn't know.

But whether she was or not, it didn't matter to Luo Ye anymore.

"Yeah, you don't like this White Lotus, do you?"

"No, I used to." Luo Ye replied truthfully, very frankly.

Xu Xiaojia gave him a speechless look and sighed, "You're so honest, you'll get tricked."

Hearing this, Luo Ye smiled and said, "My aunt said the same thing, which is why I became a novelist. As long as I don't have to interact with people, I won't get tricked."

Xu Xiaojia: ...

"Oh right, where were we? Ah, the Class Monitor! Is the Class Monitor still sad? How about... we invite him out for dinner tonight?"

Seeing the petite girl suddenly become cautious, Luo Ye hesitated, "That's probably not good, they haven't broken up yet."

"What?? They haven't broken up? Oh right, you just said they were about to break up. Which scumbag is playing with the Class Monitor's feelings?"

Xu Xiaojia's tiny frame showed a face full of anger. Luo Ye looked in the direction of the third canteen and pointed.

"Him... the one who just walked past, Liu Bingxin."

"What???"

Xu Xiaojia looked shocked.

Come to think of it, she, Liu Bingxin, and Tang Enqi were roommates.

So, being on bad terms with these two, she essentially had no friends. After all, more than half of university life was spent in the dorm, and social circles were almost centered around the dorm.

"It's that little vixen."

Hearing this, Luo Ye showed a shocked expression and said, "What indecent things are you saying?"

"Oh, I forgot there's a guy here."

Xu Xiaojia stared at Luo Ye with dead fish eyes and said calmly, "Tell me when they break up."

After learning that Li Haoyang's girlfriend was Liu Bingxin, Xu Xiaojia seemed to have lost her soul.

You had to admit, this girl's emotions changed too quickly. Crying one moment, laughing the next. If the Coach got together with this one, his future days would likely be anything but peaceful.

Xu Xiaojia went to the canteen to eat.

Luo Ye bought a bottle of energy drink at a nearby convenience store and then returned to his dorm to lie down for a bit before class.

Dorm 515 was very quiet.

Since there were no classes in the first period, most people chose to sleep in. If there were no classes all morning, most people would sleep until noon.

If it weren't for Fairy Senior Sister's habit of morning runs, Luo Ye would have been one of those majority.

He bought breakfast for the whole dorm. After returning, he looked at his roommates' sleeping faces and felt a strange sensation.

It was like a father who woke up early to work, looking at his children still fast asleep.

It gave him a sense of accomplishment.

He coughed lightly, just about to wake his roommates for breakfast.

Suddenly.

A panda appeared in front of Luo Ye, meeting his gaze.

Luo Ye was startled. Upon closer inspection, he realized it wasn't a panda, but Li Haoyang.

"Coach? Are you... are you still alive?"

Li Haoyang's eyes were vacant, his dark circles looking like they were painted on with a brush, thick and dark.

"Huh?"

Li Haoyang looked listlessly at Luo Ye, saying blankly, "Am I still alive?"

"I'm asking you."

"I don't know."

"..."

Was he so overcome with grief that his brain had short-circuited?

Seeing Li Haoyang's state, Luo Ye remembered the day after graduating high school when he received his admission letter from Jiang University.

If he got into Jiang University, he could be with Tang Enqi.

So, he shared the news immediately.

But Tang Enqi didn't reply.

He didn't come back the first day, nor the second.

He didn't come back for the entire summer vacation.

At first, like Li Haoyang, he felt like his life had lost its drive, that going to college was meaningless.

But in the end, life is lived for oneself. One cannot stay in the shadows forever.

Luo Ye patted Li Haoyang on the shoulder and said solemnly, "Coach, want to grab a drink tonight?"

In Dorm 515, Shen Qiao and Luo Ye could drink eleven-tenths of the alcohol, while Wang Dachui and Li Haoyang were in debt by one-tenth.

However, Luo Ye still invited the coach.

Hearing the word "drink," Li Haoyang seemed to regain some energy. His eyes became spirited, as if he had found a spiritual anchor.

Being sad isn't scary.

What's scary is having to be sad alone.

But the coach, and his father, were here.

"We're having an extra evening study session today, "Current Affairs and Policy." The administrative teacher is taking leave tomorrow."

After the second class of the afternoon ended, everyone heard this announcement from the Study Committee Member.

Immediately, a chorus of miserable groans erupted throughout the classroom.

Li Haoyang, as the Class Monitor, had slept through the entire day, having pulled an all-nighter.

During this time, Liu Bingxin had come to see him, but finding him unwakeable, she could only leave.

Even now, no one had told Liu Bingxin why Li Haoyang had suddenly become like this.

But it didn't matter, because the senior who had been very close to Liu Bingxin these past few days appeared at the door of their classroom after this class ended.

Third-year senior, Shuai Kun.

When he was first pursuing Tang Enqi, he used to wait by the girls' dorm entrance for a date. Now that he had a new target, he used the same method, waiting by Liu Bingxin's classroom door.

Shuai Kun, true to his name, was handsome, possessing about a third of Shen Qiao's looks. He wore overalls and had a middle part.

Luo Ye had seen this person before. He told his three roommates about this senior.

Instantly, the demeanor of the four people in Dorm 515 changed.

Li Haoyang transformed into an awakened lion, Shen Qiao's eyes narrowed, like a cool campus heartthrob, and even Wang Dachui looked like a bared-teeth teddy bear.

Soon, most of the class had left, leaving only the four from Dorm 515, along with Tang Enqi and Liu Bingxin.

Seeing that the class was mostly empty, Shuai Kun walked right in and headed towards Liu Bingxin.

A hint of panic appeared on her face. She hadn't expected this senior to be so bold as to wait for her at her classroom door.

Her boyfriend was right here.

"Junior Bingxin, want to go to dinner together?" Shuai Kun sat down next to Liu Bingxin with a smile.

Liu Bingxin shook her head. While she wasn't a saint, she wasn't so shameless as to accept a dinner invitation from her admirer in front of her boyfriend.

But she also didn't want Shuai Kun to know she had a boyfriend.

Just as she was about to refuse, she heard a violent slam on a table.

Li Haoyang stood up, slamming his hand on the table.

The muscle definition on his arm was clearly visible, looking particularly intimidating.

Seeing this, Luo Ye, Wang Dachui, and Shen Qiao also stood up.

"Eat your damn dinner!"

"Brothers, let's get him!"

As soon as the words fell, the four of them charged forward, dragging Shuai Kun to a blind spot away from the cameras, and proceeded to beat him up.
