691 -312 The Last Day of 2013_2
From a distance, You Changjin looked dejected, standing there with his head hung low.
At first, it was just Li Qiang saying over there, “Hey, that person looks like our Teacher You.”
Chang Hao came over and realized it was You Changjin.
Seeing You Changjin, it seemed his mood was somewhat off.
Chang Hao called out, asking: “Teacher You, has something happened?”
“No, nothing.”
You Changjin was indeed downcast, but it was something he couldn’t share with his students.
According to Liu Jing’s wishes, he wasn’t allowed to bother Zhou Yuwen and Jiang Xinyi anymore.
In the end, Liu Jing laid bare all her thoughts to You Changjin.
Meaning, Jiang Xinyi might not end up with Zhou Yuwen.
But Jiang Xinyi will never be with you!
These words were indeed insulting.
But how did that matter, as You Changjin had no capacity even to fight back.
If there’s anyone to blame, blame You Changjin for messing with someone like Jiang Xinyi.
That day, You Changjin held back and didn’t share his problems with Chang Hao.
But he didn’t hold back for long.
That evening, You Changjin called Chang Hao, saying the teacher wants to invite you for drinks.
Chang Hao, clueless, brought Li Qiang with him.
Thus, the three of them, teacher and students, got dead drunk at a little barbecue stall outside the school.
You Changjin didn’t talk about Zhou Yuwen, only about Liu Jing.
Holding the liquor bottle and with flushed face, he said he truly liked Xinyi!
“But her mother, her mother looks down on me!”
As he got to this point, You Changjin burst into tears again!
Li Qiang was there, drinking with You Changjin.
While Chang Hao drank very little.
Having experienced what happened with Zheng Yanyan, Chang Hao really matured a lot.
The two drank past ten o’clock, with You Changjin still crying his heart out on the table.
Chang Hao went alone to settle the bill with the owner.
At this moment, outside there was a burly student speaking with a northern accent: “Hey, you’re Chang Hao, right?”
“Who are you?”
“I’m asking if you’re Chang Hao?” the person spoke aggressively.
Chang Hao, confused, replied: “Yes, I am.
What’s the matter?”
“Oh, Chang Hao,”
The person took out a photo, checked, and nodded.
Before Chang Hao could react, the fellow threw a fierce punch.
“Damn it, I’m hitting you, Chang Hao!
Cnm!”
With one punch, Chang Hao saw stars, and immediately three other men appeared out of nowhere, punching and kicking him.
Li Qiang wasn’t drunk yet; he had been chatting with You Changjin.
Seeing Chang Hao getting attacked, he was startled: “Hey!
Teacher!
Someone is beating up Chang Hao!”
After shouting this, Li Qiang, without a second thought and slightly inebriated, charged forward and grabbed someone from behind by the neck.
“Damn it, let go!”
By this time, law enforcement was already approaching.
Seeing things go south, the others scattered.
But one person was held tightly by Li Qiang.
In fact, the moment he was being hit, Chang Hao realized it must be Liu Shuo’s gang who had sent people to beat him up.
However, after entering the police station, in just one hour, Uncle Hat followed the confession and arrested Xu Bowen.
Seeing Xu Bowen, Chang Hao was indeed stunned for a moment.
But upon their reunion, Xu Bowen was defiant.
He sneered at Chang Hao: “I said, wait and see!”
The night Chang Hao was beaten, light snow started to drift through the darkness.
The snow fell for three days, and in Jinling, it wasn’t the overwhelming kind like in the north; it was the kind that disappears without a trace the moment it touches the ground.
Only on the city walls and roof ridges, a few traces of snow lingered.
The snowfall stretched from 2013 right into 2014.
And just like that, 2014 came around, nothing much of significance happened that year, apart from the last three days being bustling with activity, busy finalizing the renovation plans for the villa.
Busy planning student part-time jobs.
And busy with the date on the last day of December with Jiang Xinyi and Li Shiqi.
Because Jiang Xinyi’s piano performance was scheduled to start around seven in the evening.
So the time to watch a movie with Li Shiqi was moved to one in the afternoon.
Nothing special happened during these two dates; Li Shiqi didn’t actively lean into Zhou Yuwen, and Zhou Yuwen wasn’t eager to jump into a second relationship too soon either.
So, they simply watched a movie together, after which Zhou Yuwen would talk to Li Shiqi about things related to the film, such as how handsome young Leo was.
He’s not pulling it off these last couple of years, starting to look as chubby as a pig.
Li Shiqi didn’t understand these things, so she just quietly listened.
Actually, she wore a very clean dress today, slightly thin, but very pretty.
It was a pity that Zhou Yuwen did not pass any comment on it.
Zhou Yuwen, like a clod with low emotional intelligence, kept talking endlessly about the film’s plot.
It wasn’t until he was dropping Li Shiqi back at her dorm that Zhou Yuwen, as if suddenly realizing, asked, “Was everything I said really that boring?”
Li Shiqi shook her head, smiling, “No, not at all.”
“Uh, I thought you weren’t interested since you were so quiet.”
“Not at all, I actually enjoyed listening to you talk about these things.” Li Shiqi spoke in a very soft and gentle voice, and when she said this, her black eyes smiled at Zhou Yuwen.
Zhou Yuwen, being smiled at like this, was uncharacteristically a bit embarrassed.
In truth, as Zhou Yuwen was dropping off Li Shiqi at her dorm, he was already thinking about leaving to attend the next date.
But when the car stopped in front of Li Shiqi’s dormitory, she showed no signs of getting out, seemingly really wanting to listen to Zhou Yuwen talk about movies.
The problem was, Zhou Yuwen really didn’t know what else to say.
So they sat in the car with the heater blowing for ten minutes.
Li Shiqi seemed to realize that Zhou Yuwen had other matters to attend to, and hesitated before saying, “Should I go back then?”
“Oh, okay,” Zhou Yuwen said.
At this moment, Li Shiqi felt a twinge of sorrow at the tip of her nose, but she simply nodded her head.
As she got out of the car, Zhou Yuwen called her back.
He took a cardboard box out of the trunk and handed it to her, claiming it was a return gift for the scarf.
Seeing the box was so big, Li Shiqi, although not knowing what it was, was reluctant to accept it, saying that the scarf was just a token of thanks, and it was unnecessary.
But before Li Shiqi could finish speaking, Zhou Yuwen had already shoved the large box into her hands.
“I was struggling with how to say this in the car!
Don’t make it hard for me,” Zhou Yuwen said.
“?”
Upon hearing this, Li Shiqi looked up at Zhou Yuwen, a bit surprised.
Yet she saw Zhou Yuwen, awkwardly scratching his cheek and coughing twice, saying, “You’re really annoying; I’ve never seen a girl who doesn’t like to receive gifts before.
If you don’t want it, then I won’t come to find you anymore!”
After saying that, Zhou Yuwen, like a clumsy little boy who doesn’t know how to give gifts, quickly drove away.
He didn’t even say goodbye to Li Shiqi.
On the 31st, the snow lightly touched the grass by the roadside.
Li Shiqi watched Zhou Yuwen leave, thinking about his clumsy moment from before, and couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh, clutching the big box as she went back to her dormitory.
A few roommates, lying in the dormitory and seeing Li Shiqi return with such a large box, were naturally very curious, causing a commotion, wondering what kind of gift Zhou Yuwen would give?
Such a big box didn’t seem to be cosmetics or anything of the sort.
It wasn’t until Li Shiqi opened the box that everyone was taken aback.
They hadn’t expected it at all.
The gift from Zhou Yuwen turned out to be a down jacket.
It was from an obscure brand that no one in Li Shiqi’s dormitory had heard of, but it felt very good to the touch.
One of the roommates was somewhat speechless, muttering, “What kind of guy gives a girl a down jacket as a gift?”
“Exactly!”
To them, it might not be romantic enough.
But Li Shiqi was thrilled to see this down jacket; she really liked it.
So she sent Zhou Yuwen a message: I really like the gift, thank you (smile)
“Glad you like it.”
After replying to her, Zhou Yuwen checked the time, only to see it was almost four o’clock.
Sigh, he still had to go and watch the performance with Jiang Xinyi.
The last day of ’13 was indeed quite busy.
What a pity, neither of the two girls could get a good night’s sleep.
