"Don't you think that you should go to take a shower first? You've changed from a lovely Young Pioneer into an ugly, dirty nestling from the desert." Someone sneered behind Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxi turned around and saw Zhang Dong standing on the withered grass. It was late autumn, but Zhang Dong just wore a red vest and black shorts.
Lin Wenxi looked down at himself and discovered that his olive green camouflage suit was smeared all over with his sweat and the mud that Zhang Dong had poured onto him. He thought to himself, "Wow, it has turned a muddy colour. It's indeed suitable for concealment in the desert.
He stood upright and slightly lifted his chest while saying, "Well, you should say, 'You've changed from a marine into a desert eagle.'"
"Stop showing off your flat pecs. Don't embarrass yourself." Zhang Dong smiled teasingly and added, "You haven't had a good rest for days! Go to take a sho
After talking with Shu Xiaoman on the phone, Lin Wenxi heaved a sigh of relief, and then he thought of his father. "My father asked me be ranked among the top ten. I've let him down this time. How am I going to explain this to him? Anyhow, I've tried my best. He'll at most punish me by asking me to recite a few more books. Well, he often asks me to read boring books, such as those on laws and civil service exams. He probably wants me to take the civil service exam in the future. "What's so great about being an official? My father worked hard his whole life, and even now when he serves as the deputy mayor of this city, he still can't let his family live a good life. My mother has to work day and night at the desk, sorting out her investigation notes and writing, and I have to be strict with myself all the time since my childhood and never be allowed to gain any benefit from my father's job. Back in my highschool, those schoolmates whose parents were officials were su
They met other boys from the same class in the small restaurant. Wang Xiang was very hospitable. He gathered everyone and drunk together. Lin Wenxi didn't want to drink at all. Shu Xiaoman was quite into it and Zhang An'an took a few drinks and asked Wang Xiang to pay the bills. Xin Wenxi was watching the waiter change the plates for Zhang An'an one after another. The plates were full of the broken shells of spicy shrimps, the bone of chicken feet, the fishbone of sweet and sour fish, the shell of clams and snails, the fat from pork belly and the scraps from tofu. Zhang An'an was using her chubby hands to slowly open a crab shell and sucked the butter in it. Shu Xiaoman persuaded Zhang An'an, "The crab is cold-natured, don't eat too much." She handed a dish of shredded ginger and said, "I know you don't like the taste of ginger, but you should eat some." Zhang An'an didn't respond. Shu Xiaoman was used to this. She saw the snacks
Zheng Kai shouted, "You want me to take the first place, I got it!" In a screaming cheer, Chen Wanxin pulled her face down. "Boring!" She turned and left. Zhang An'an and Shu Xiaoman shook their heads at the same time. "Lovers." Zheng Kai didn't expect Chen Wanxin to have any response. For a long time, he didn't know what to say. Hence, he passed the microphone to the champion of the girls' team, Wang Zhengjuan. Wang Zhengjuan wore a baseball cap and a yellow short-sleeved T-shirt. It was worn in black crocodile leather trousers. On her feet, it was a pair of well-designed shoes tailored by famous designers. The look was simple and refreshing. She might be recognized as a fair-skinned man if it was not for her black horsetail and the curve of her body. "Zhou Nannan, I love you!" Wang Zhengjuan shouted toward the field. It was really interesting that the confess came one after another. It was only two m
Zhang An'an dragged up Wang Xiang and said to Chen Wanxin, "He is drunk. Don’t take it seriously. I will take him back and ask clearly." While saying, she was dragging Wang Xiang to the boys' dormitory. Chen Wanxin smiled and didn't move. Her face was hiding in the shade of the tree and couldn't be seen clearly in the shadow. The party continued. Even Lin Wenxi couldn't help but drink a few cups. After two cups with Zhou Nannan, who was newly introduced by Shu Xiaoman, he was already drunk. "Zhou Nannan, Wang Zhengjuan, you..." Lin Wenxi said hesitantly. "You don't like it?" Zhou Nannan smiled faintly. Lin Wenxi somehow thought of dandelion. "No, you're really good," he said loudly. Lin Wenxi was drunk and acted bravely. He didn't even know why he would support them. Zhou Nannan suddenly burst into tears and took a drink. She said to Lin Wenxi, gently, "In the future, this can be said quietly with me. Do
It was Shu Xiaoman that had just shouted to everyone. She stood in front of the railing nearby. She put her hands behind her back and held the railing to keep her balance. Faced with a crowd of faces, she felt nervous, and her legs got wobbly. Not long ago, she had received a call from Zhang An'an. Zhang An'an told her what Wang Xiang had said and warned her to keep an eye on Chen Wanxin and to stop her from doing something stupid. Chen Wanxin looked relaxed and kept drinking with the boys, as such Shu Xiaoman did not worry much about her in the beginning. She just had never expected Chen Wanxin to suddenly confess to Zhao Yuan. Upon seeing Chen Wanxin confess to Zhao Yuan, Lin Wenxi immediately walked away from the crowd to avoid them. Without Zhang An'an being around, Shu Xiaoman felt helpless and thus shouted to everyone, trying to stop Chan Wanxin. "Why does it have anything to do with you?" Chen Wanxin retorted, her face somber. Shu Xiaoman
The next morning, Zheng Kai got up early and asked Zhao Yuan, Wang Xiang and some other boys from some other dorms to play basketball together. Zhao Yuan wanted to ask Lin Wenxi to play together, but Lin Wenxi still lay on his bed and even covered his head with his quilt. Upon seeing that, Zhao Yuan thought, "It must've been difficult for him to fall asleep last night. He turned his flashlight on and seemed to be reading something throughout the night." Zhao Yuan did not sleep well either and could not help but rub his eyes. Upon seeing that, Zheng Kai teased, "What? Were you too excited to fall asleep last night after getting a pretty girlfriend and this jersey?" Wang Xiang put an arm around Zheng Kai's shoulders and asked, "Brother Kai. do you really don't mind it at all?" Zheng Kaizheng said solemnly, "Well, it's a fair competition. I can't put the blame on my friend because I'm not so skil
At noon, Zheng Kai, Wang Xiang and their new friends went to have lunch together. Among their new friends, there was a girl named Wang Zhengjuan. She was good at playing basketball and had outshone Wang Xiang in the game just now. To their disappointment, Zhao Yuan refused to join them. He bought some food and went back to their dorm again. "We'd better call Wenxi Baby Lin in the future." Wang Xiang twitched his mouth and said. "Are you jealous?" Wang Zhengjuan asked while swishing her ponytail. The boys found her very charming and looked at her. She said, "Why do you guys keep looking at me? Don't you know that I'm not available now." Upon hearing that, the boys all shifted their gazes toward something else. They all knew about the relationship between Wang Zhengjuan and Zhou Nannan. "What... why do I have to be jealous?" Wang Xiang stuttered. "Little Xiang'er, you know what. The biggest tragedy in one's life is
Zhao Yuan, Zheng Kai, Wang Xiang and their new friends kept playing basketball until the evening. They really enjoyed hanging out together and decided to go singing at a karaokea together tonight. They invited their friends to join them, thus all the girls of Dorm No. 213 and all the guys from Dorm No. 216 came to the karaokea, except Lin Wenxi. Shu Xiaoman was surprised that Lin Wenxi did not come and asked, "Where is Lin Wenxi?" "Now, he's a sleeping beauty in his bed," Zhao Yuan teased smilingly while thinking, "Lin Wenxi has really crossed the line this time. I'll continue ignoring him until I return to the dorm tonight to tell him everything." The guys and the girls had a good time singing, drinking and playing games at the karaokea. When the guys tipsily returned to their dorm late at night, they could not find Lin Wenxi anywhere or get through to him on the phone. Neither did they find any note left by him. Zheng Kai did not consider this a big dea
