Chapter 56

On the way.

Zhao Yaya suddenly asked, "Shuhang, the two boys just now, I didn't see them when I brought you to the university town at the beginning of last semester, right? How could they know me?"

Song Shuhang blinked his eyes: "Haha, I think they must have heard about you from Tubo and the others, and then got your photo through some means, right?"

"Lying, it's too fake." Zhao Yaya huffed: "And from their expressions and the conversation just now, it's clear that they had just met your 'sister' not long ago. Moreover, when you introduced me, the other boy next to them looked very surprised, obviously seeing me for the first time. So... tell the truth. Are the 'sister' those two boys mentioned your girlfriend? Could it be that she is older than you, and you are embarrassed to introduce her to us?"

Sister Zhao is still so impartial, always like a detective, mercilessly exposing Song Shuhang's lies.

"There's nothing to it, that really isn't my girlfriend. Sister, you must believe me," Song Shuhang immediately replied seriously.

"Hmm, it's the truth. But... did you indeed have a 'sister' who left the boys' dormitory with you not long ago?" Zhao Yaya squinted her eyes: "How about it, have you considered developing a relationship beyond friendship? Sister-brother relationships are quite popular these days, and if you get married, someone a few years older would know how to take care of you. I'm sure Aunt and Uncle wouldn't object."

Damn, I was so easily tricked. Song Shuhang felt dejected—why does a girlfriend have to be related to marriage? Can't there be a pure college relationship without involving such a heavy topic?

"I'm not teasing you, but if you really get a girlfriend, you must tell me the good news. I'll go first." Zhao Yaya patted Shuhang hard, then quickly walked forward, stopped a taxi, and left with a smile.

Song Shuhang waved, secretly relieved.

He really can't lie in front of Zhao Yaya because she knows him too well, and it's easy for her to see through his lies.

Fortunately, she didn't notice anything about his involvement with 'cultivation'... after all, 'cultivation' is something that ordinary people consider a beautiful fantasy. Under normal circumstances, no one would associate reality with cultivation.

In any case, before he decides to reveal the 'cultivator' thing to her, he must keep this secret and not let her guess anything, to avoid bringing disaster to himself and his family.

Song Shuhang thought to himself.

Beiheshan had just warned him, and he dare not play with his loved ones' lives.

Thinking of this, he also remembered the person who was investigating him.

One should not have the heart to harm others, but one must be cautious!

...

...

It was six o'clock in the evening.

In the house Yang De rented.

When Song Shuhang arrived, Lin Tubo and Gao Moumou were already drunk. The two were hugging each other, and Gao Moumou occasionally cried out, looking very sad.

Lin Tubo was hugging him and loudly comforting him, patting his chest and making promises.

They were clearly speaking Chinese, but Shuhang couldn't understand a word. Who knows how these two drunks were communicating?

Li Yangde had a bitter smile on his face. After opening the door for Shuhang, he immediately asked, "Shuhang, do you know what happened to Gao Moumou? He came over looking like he was about to die, dragging Tubo to drink. After drinking for a while, he started wailing about being 'defiled,' 'unclean,' and 'not living'—all sorts of nonsense. Honestly... a grown man crying about being 'defiled' is a bit creepy."

"This matter, I happen to know!" Song Shuhang chuckled.

Song Shuhang detailed the scene he saw in the dormitory to Li Yangde, of course, omitting the part about Zhuge Yue saying someone was following him. Song Shuhang didn't want to drag his three roommates into some mysterious dangerous situation.

Li Yangde's face showed a look of helplessness after hearing this.

"Speaking of Zhuge Yue, I do have an impression. She is a key member of the school's news department, and as for gender, she should be female, right?" Li Yangde pinched his chin in thought, as he had once had some 'needs' and hacked into the school's news department to check some information, gaining some understanding of the main members.

"But when I asked Gao Moumou if the person was male, he turned pale and shook his head sadly. Then I asked if it was a girl, and his face turned even worse, but he still shook his head sadly. I asked if it was a hermaphrodite or a transvestite, and he cried, saying it was something I wouldn't understand," Shuhang said.

"Then there is only one possibility... the person is a transgender?" Li Yangde guessed.

"Indeed, it seems that's the only possibility left," Song Shuhang nodded.

Looking at Gao Moumou again, the two of them had a look of pity in their eyes.

Yangde: "Let's let Old Gao get drunk tonight?"

Song Shuhang nodded: "That's right."

Originally, the roommates were planning to go out for dinner, but Gao Moumou's miserable state would have been embarrassing to take out. So Li Yangde wisely ordered takeout, and the drinks were also delivered.

Tubo and Gao Moumou just drank, not eating much food. Now they were almost completely drunk, almost lying like corpses.

Song Shuhang and Li Yangde sat down and enjoyed the delicious dinner.

"By the way, Yangde, our school is going to have a sports meet? How come I didn't know about it?" Song Shuhang asked.

"You wouldn't know... because our class was notified at noon today. At that time, you were being dragged away by that strange companion," Li Yangde said, then showed a mysterious smile: "By the way, Shuhang, when you didn't come to class in the afternoon, a female classmate named Lu Fei specially came to ask us about your whereabouts."

"Huh?" Song Shuhang was stunned, not knowing how to respond.

That girl Lu Fei, he had only sat next to her for a few classes, and they hadn't even spoken a word. How could he respond now?

"Hehe." Li Yangde chuckled and continued: "Also... there's an interesting story about the sports meet registration. There's a miserable 5000-meter long-distance race for men, which is exhausting. No one in our class volunteered to participate. So, after much pushing and shoving, it ended up on someone who was absent from class that day. Hint: this person's surname is Song."

"Can I swear?" Song Shuhang felt the veins on his forehead bulging. What a pitfall, 5000 meters, it could kill someone!

What bad luck!

Wait, hold on. His brain just didn't catch up. If it were two days ago, he might have died, but now... a mere 5000 meters, perhaps it's not a big deal?

"Don't even think about swearing. Even if you go berserk, it won't help. The list for the sports meet has already been submitted. On June 7th, you'll have to run the 5000 meters. Whether you like it or not, someone will carry you there. Cheer up, if you win, you'll get extra credits," Li Yangde said with a mischievous smile.

"Alright, a mere 5000 meters. I, Song Shuhang, will definitely get those extra credits," Song Shuhang said with a bold demeanor.

"Great spirit, cheers!" Li Yangde raised his glass.

"Cheers!" Suddenly, the drunk Lin Tubo chuckled and raised his glass. His eyes were clear, showing no signs of drunkenness.

Damn, he was just fooling Gao Moumou?

Poor Gao Moumou, now he was lying there. Who knows how many secrets he revealed while being drunk by that scoundrel Tubo?

Song Shuhang raised his glass and chuckled: "Cheers."

No matter for Zhao Yaya or these three good-for-nothings, he must be on guard.
