Chapter 425 Fermentation
"I will first wield the Qinggang sword, then the Dilu horse, and then... shoot all the arrows at once."
In a corner of the cafeteria, Kong Runlong was playing Three Kingdoms with his classmates at a table.
"I'm out of blood." Tian Xiaoyu screamed.
"You little brat, you act so badly, they must be targeting you to kill you, is there anyone who wants to save her?"
The boy named Tang Shaoguang in the class looked up and everyone waved their hands, only Kong Runlong hesitated.
"No more, it's my turn."
"Tang Shaoguang you bad guy~"
Tian Xiaoyu complained in a pinched voice and twisted Tang Shaoguang's arm a few times with an angry look.
"Who told you to play so badly, making something out of nothing..."
"Well, let me ask you something."
Just when everyone thought the game was about to continue, Kong Runlong suddenly took out a peach from his hand and asked with a sacrificial breath.
"If I use this peach card, can I save Tian Xiaoyu?"
"Yes." Tang Shaoguang glanced at Kong Runlong who was sitting in the corner, "Peach can be used to save people. Why, you want to give it to her?"
Tang Shaoguang looked at Kong Runlong and asked.
Compared to Tang Shaoguang's powerful voice, Kong Runlong's voice sounds weak.
"Ah? No...Is it not possible?"
“No one said no.”
Tang Shaoguang laughed, and Tian Xiaoyu also glanced at Kong Runlong, her face not looking very good, and the atmosphere at the card table became a little awkward.
"Then I will save you."
Under the gaze of everyone, Kong Runlong felt a little nervous and embarrassed, and put the cards in the middle of the table.
Tian Xiaoyu was successfully resurrected, but her expression did not seem as happy as before, and she did not seem grateful to Kong Runlong at all. She just played a few cards perfunctorily and ended her life again.
"No one is going to save you, right? That guy, will you save him this time?"
"I, I don't have any peach cards anymore."
Kong Runlong touched his head and replied.
He was not very good at playing this game called Three Kingdoms Kill, but he just passed by while eating, and Tian Xiaoyu said that they were short of people, so he called him over to join the team.
Kong Runlong studied very hard.
In fact, he cherished the opportunity to play games with Tian Xiaoyu this time, and secretly hoped that if he could play better, maybe Tian Xiaoyu would ask him to play together next time.
After playing a few more hands, it was almost time for class. They cleaned up the card table while chatting and laughing, and formed a small circle with Tian Xiaoyu and Tang Shaoguang as the center.
Kong Runlong was suddenly pushed to the edge, and seemed to have no sense of existence at all.
In the center of the crowd, several people were talking in low voices.
"Tian Xiaoyu, who are you looking for? They say you are a traitor, but you still want to save me."
"That's what I mean."
"Isn't it that I have a crush on you?"
Tian Xiaoyu was unhappy when she heard this and quickly glanced at Tang Shaoguang's expression beside her.
"What nonsense are you talking about."
"It's just a guess, why are you so angry?"
"What are you guessing? Who wants to be secretly in love with someone like this? Kong Runlong just follows Xu Cheng all day long, like he's a lapdog. He does whatever Xu Cheng says and has no opinions of his own. I don't like people like this."
"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down." Several people with more easygoing personalities advised, "We are all classmates, don't make it too embarrassing for everyone."
"whispering sound."
Tian Xiaoyu had a look of disdain on her face and felt a little regretful in her heart. Although she disliked Kong Runlong, he was quite useful sometimes. It was not good to offend him like this, which was not in line with her principle of being good at dealing with people.
She turned around and looked at Kong Runlong at the back of the crowd. She searched for a long time before she saw him. He had his head down and was silent. He seemed as sullen as usual. He probably didn't hear what she said just now. Only then did she turn around with relief.
Kong Runlong just kept his head down.
His hands were stuffed into his pockets and clenched tightly, and his mind was a little confused.
Xu Cheng's pug...
Is this how Tian Xiaoyu has always viewed him?
The tip of the boy's nose felt a little sour, and a deep sense of inferiority lingered around him, lingering. His pace became slower and slower, and he gradually distanced himself from the tight circle of people in front of him.
"Let's just play by ourselves from now on. Don't invite those random people to play cards next time."
"I see. This time it's because Li Feng disappeared that we can't get together."
Tang Shaoguang and Tian Xiaoyu were whispering to each other.
While they were talking, Tian Xiaoyu suddenly saw a figure in front of him, walking and fiddling with his cell phone with his head down. When he looked closely, it was the Li Feng he had just mentioned.
"Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Li Feng, where were you doing at noon?"
Tian Xiaoyu jumped over and patted Li Feng on the back. Li Feng turned his head and saw that it was Tian Xiaoyu and the others. His face suddenly became excited.
“It’s you!”
Tian Xiaoyu smiled and said, "What's wrong? Are you so excited to see us?"
"I'm not excited to see you guys." Li Feng thought of something and asked tentatively, "Don't you know about that thing yet?"
"That thing?"
Tian Xiaoyu was stunned. "What's the matter? I asked you to play Three Kingdoms at noon, but I couldn't even find you."
"It's about Xu Cheng!"
Li Feng said more excitedly than before, "Hey, you didn't check QQ or our class group all afternoon."
"What's wrong."
Tian Xiaoyu looked at Li Feng in confusion, "We have been playing Three Kingdoms Kill all afternoon, what happened in the group?"
Upon hearing this, the people around took out their mobile phones one after another, and Li Feng also explained in a hurried tone.
"You would never imagine that this morning, the chairman of Qingzhou came to our school to hold a presentation."
"Qingzhou? The Qingzhou company on Weibo? Just open it if you want. It's no big deal. Many big companies from our school have come here."
"That's not the point. Listen to me. Guess who the chairman of Qingzhou is."
"Who is it?"
"Xu Cheng!"
“…”
Everyone was stunned, looking at the people around them
Tang Shaoguang asked with a frown.
"Who are you talking about?"
"Xu Cheng." Li Feng said excitedly, "It's Xu Cheng, the monitor of our class. He is the chairman of Qingzhou..."
Rumble.
It was a sunny day, but everyone felt as if a bolt of thunder had fallen from the sky, striking them to pieces, leaving them burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
Even though they had already finished the game of Three Kingdoms, they felt as if they had drawn the judgment cards of spades 2 to 9, and 3 drops of their blood were deducted by the lightning card.
"Zhang Feng, are you sure you're not kidding us?"
"It's true. Someone has already taken photos and posted them in the class group."
"Let me see."
"The squad leader hid it too well..."
"Fuck, I'm in the same class as Boss Qingzhou. I'm going to post on Weibo to show off."
"Hey, isn't Kong Runlong Xu Cheng's roommate?"
"Where are the people?"
"Old Kong, you already knew this a long time ago."
“What is it like to live in the same dormitory with a big boss?”
Kong Runlong felt his head was a little confused.
He was alone just now, but suddenly he was surrounded by people, as if he had become the focus of everyone's attention.
However, what shocked him even more was the news that Li Feng had just told him.
boss?
Is it the dormitory head?
This is too incredible!
Tang Shaoguang just stood there.
There was no one around, no one was paying attention to him.
And under his gaze, Tian Xiaoyu moved closer to Kong Runlong.
"Kong Runlong~ Tell me~ You and Xu Cheng have a very good relationship~"
…
"nice shot."
As the basketball entered the net , Peng Hongfei, who was closest to the player, caught the ball.
Dribble and shoot.
The ball neither touches the board, the basket, nor even the net, which is the legendary three-no-touch.
“Ah~~~~”
There was a burst of boos from the surroundings, but Peng Hongfei just relaxed his shoulders without changing his expression.
"Why are you yelling? I forgot about the time when I beat you up."
"Lao Peng, why are you playing basketball so badly recently? It doesn't look like you are at the same level as before."
"I'm just letting you off. I'm afraid you'll cry if I abuse you. How come you don't understand my good intentions as a father?"
Peng Hongfei tried hard to control the discomfort in his body, sat down on the sidelines with a smile, picked up someone's water bottle and gulped down a few gulps.
"Damn it, Old Peng, be civilized and drink my water."
"No need to talk back, we are all grown men, what's the big deal, don't be a sissy, how much loss can you suffer?"
"Damn it, I have a girlfriend and you don't, who do you think is at a disadvantage?"
There was a burst of laughter from the sidelines. Peng Hongfei sat on the ground, looking up at the court in front of him.
The sunlight was golden and somewhat scorching. The golden light reflected on the ground made it difficult for him to open his eyes. All around him came the sound of basketballs hitting the ground and the rim.
“That’s great.”
Peng Hongfei supported himself on the ground with his hands, looked up at the sky, and spoke to himself.
The cell phone suddenly vibrated, and Peng Hongfei took out the discarded cell phone her mother had used from her pocket.
"Hello, Mom."
"Son, are you in class?"
"No, I'm still resting. What's wrong?"
"It's okay. My right eyelid has been twitching recently. I felt like something was wrong, so I thought of calling you to ask."
"…I'm fine. Everything is fine."
Peng Hongfei's throat was choked with sobs, and he tried to suppress his emotions and said into the phone, "Don't worry about it. What could possibly happen?"
"Okay, okay, you're just like your dad. I'm the one worrying about you all the time. Do you have enough living expenses? You left before I even gave you the money for this semester."
"That's enough. Didn't I tell you that I didn't spend all my living expenses last semester?"
"Mom, I'll transfer another 500 yuan to you. I heard that the cost of living in Shanghai is high. Although we don't have to compete with our classmates, we all go to school outside. You should buy yourself two new clothes. You've been wearing that short-sleeved shirt for many years."
"Why give me money? My second and third children need money to go to school. My dad uses expensive medicine. You don't need to give me money. This piece of clothing was given to me by my brother Qiangqiang. It's Metersbonwe. It's a famous brand. The quality is good and it's durable. It's not embarrassing to wear it."
"I'm just stubborn. What's wrong with all the demons? If you don't dress neatly, people will think you're shabby when you walk on the street. Besides, mom is still waiting for you to find a partner or something."
"I, I just want to study hard now, why would I date someone? Mom, I'm about to go to class, so I won't talk to you for now."
"Ouch, that's enough. I'll hang up now."
"Um."
Peng Hongfei agreed, but couldn't help but say, "Well, Mom, wait a minute."
"What's wrong?"
"Mom... I'm such a loser... If I'm gone someday... Don't be too sad..."
"What's gone? What happened to you, son?"
"No, it's okay." Peng Hongfei said hurriedly, "I just... feel useless... unworthy of being your son."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The voice on the other end of the phone became excited. "Everyone in this area knows that my son goes to a prestigious university. Do you know how proud I am?"
"I know, mom."
"Son...are you heartbroken? I tell you, that girl is blind. My son is so outstanding, there are many girls who want him."
“No, no.”
Peng Hongfei said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Okay, mom. I'm going to hang up first."
"OK."
Peng Hongfei pressed his finger on the hang-up button, hesitated for a few seconds, then leaned over to the phone and spoke quickly.
"Mom, I love you."
After saying that, she hung up the phone with a blushing face and a pounding heart. She looked more nervous than after running several thousand meters, and was afraid that someone would discover her shy appearance at this moment.
"Lao Peng, Lao Peng..."
But some blind people came up to me.
Peng Hongfei raised his head in annoyance, "What's wrong? It's like calling a ghost."
"Old Peng, do you know about Xu Cheng's situation?"
…
In the library.
Wu Shiming found an empty seat and sat down.
After a summer of reflection, he felt that since he was so outstanding, it was time for him to make an effort in his sophomore year, so that everyone in the class could see his true strength, and also give a little shock to Xu Cheng, who had occupied the first place for the entire semester.
I just wasn’t serious during my freshman year. If I had been serious, you, Xu Cheng, and Lin Wanzhou wouldn’t have had any impact on me.
Wu Shiming raised his head and glanced at the empty seats around him.
“What a pity.”
"We are all college students, but we are so unmotivated."
Of course, you should make good use of the lunch break to study.
Wu Shiming took out the textbooks from his schoolbag and placed them on the table one by one.
After thinking for a while, he put on his headphones again, picked up an English song to play, glanced at the textbook, then glanced at the mobile phone next to the book, and his hand decisively reached out for the phone.
"Well, let's get into the state first..."
Just now when I was in class, I had only read half of the novel when school was dismissed. I will finish reading the part where Luo Feng fights the Iron-Armored Dragon first.
Five minutes later.
"Fuck, this guy actually killed him. Never mind, let's see if Luo Feng can be caught by this couple..."
Ten minutes later.
"We have to see him become number one in the training camp..."
The whole afternoon passed like this.
With a sense of guilt, Wu Shiming closed the novel interface.
never mind.
Anyway, Xu Cheng must not have studied at noon today.
This means that the gap between them is not that big.
He casually opened QQ and saw 99+ messages in his class group.
"What's going on?"
Wait for a few seconds, then click Open.
One minute later.
Student Xiao Wu sat in his seat with his chin in his hand.
His eyes looked somewhat empty.
It's like doubting life...
