Chapter 97: It's Just Too Good!

Li Erhu, who had just finished brushing his teeth and slicked back his hair with some hair oil, was about to go out when he saw Li Dabao, who had gone out before him, run back in and burst into tears on the bed. For a moment, Li Erhu was completely at a loss, standing there in confusion.

"What's up with Dabao? Why did he turn into this state just by turning around?" Li Erhu scratched his head, thinking to himself.

"Could it be that someone is making fun of Dabao for looking like Zhong Kui again? But that can't be right, we already beat up the person who said that last time."

Li Erhu, in the duty room, couldn't figure out what could have caused such a heavy blow to Zhao Dabao in an instant.

Just as he was racking his brains, Lei Zi, who had just come back from his shift, walked into the duty room. Li Erhu quickly grabbed his hand and walked to the door, whispering to Lei Zi.

"Lei Zi, tell me what's going on? Dabao was so happy just a moment ago, why is he crying now?"

"Ah... heartbreak, it's hard to heal. I'm going to sleep, don't ask me anymore." Lei Zi shook his head, looking depressed as he prepared to go to sleep.

Li Erhu had a rather ugly face, and Lei Zi usually avoided talking to him face-to-face for fear of scaring himself.

"Don't stop there, you can't just say half of it. What do you mean by 'heartbreak is hard to heal'? Explain it clearly!" Seeing that Lei Zi was shaking his head and didn't want to talk, Li Erhu was not pleased.

Either you don't say it at all, or you say it all. You can't just say half of it and leave people wondering. Besides, he and Zhao Dabao were good friends, and seeing Dabao so devastated, he felt he had to comfort him.

Li Erhu thought to himself.

"You're really annoying, fine, fine! I'll tell you." Seeing that Li Erhu had grabbed his arm and wouldn't let go, the security guard named Lei Zi said with a sigh.

"Just now, a tough guy walked into the school holding Xie Chensyan's hand. I guess he's her boyfriend. This time, we who secretly admired her are going to be heartbroken. I really don't know what charm that guy has to make Xie Chensyan like him."

Shaking his head, Lei Zi looked depressed as he pushed Li Erhu away and walked into the inner room. It seemed that not only Zhao Dabao but Lei Zi himself was one of Xie Chensyan's secret admirers.

"Xie... Xie Chensyan has a boyfriend? Impossible!" Hearing Lei Zi's words, Li Erhu was stunned for a long time before he finally shouted.

This Yucheng University only had one main gate, and Xie Chensyan often walked out to take the bus. In over a year, except for the time when Ye Huang and his brother moved, he hadn't seen any other boys with Xie Chensyan. Suddenly hearing that Xie Chensyan had a boyfriend, Li Erhu found it hard to believe.

Rubbing his almost closed eyes, Li Erhu walked out of the room and returned a few minutes later, his face showing a mix of emotions—some regret, but more relief.

The regret was because his good friend would no longer have a secret crush, but the relief was that Xie Chensyan had a boyfriend and not his own secret crush, Qin Yue. Otherwise, he would have to find a place to cry.

"Who would have thought that Xie Chensyan, the great beauty, also likes underground work and kept her boyfriend a secret. Poor Dabao."

Shaking his head and sighing, Li Erhu walked into the inner room and patted Zhao Dabao, who was still sobbing on the bed, to comfort him.

"Dabao, since it's a fact, you should accept it and move on."

"Move on my ass! My family isn't dead, who are you cursing?" As soon as Li Erhu finished speaking, Zhao Dabao, who had been lying there, turned over and shouted at him, his eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.

"Ah, damn! Look at my mouth, what the hell am I saying." Zhao Dabao's sudden outburst made Li Erhu realize he had said the wrong thing. He had intended to comfort Zhao Dabao, but his words ended up insulting him.

"Dabao, I didn't mean it that way, look at my mouth." Slapping himself, Li Erhu continued.

"Dabao, just think about it. Xie Chensyan is a goddess, out of reach for us commoners. We can only look, not pursue."

"There's a saying: 'Where in the world is there no grass, why must it be found by your side? There's not much to begin with, and the quality isn't good.'"

Li Erhu tilted his head and thought for a moment, struggling to repeat a phrase he had read in a magazine a few days ago. He felt quite proud of himself, as he hadn't finished primary school and it was hard for him to say such a well-structured sentence.

Li Erhu was quite pleased with himself, but Zhao Dabao was about to cry.

Damn this idiot, he's not here to comfort me, he's here to upset me! What do you mean 'where in the world is there no grass'? It should be 'where in the world is there no fragrant grass'? What do you mean 'there's not much to begin with, and the quality isn't good'?

Are you blind? Xie Chensyan's quality is not good? It's just too good!

Zhao Dabao felt incredibly miserable but couldn't argue with Li Erhu anymore. If he kept going, Li Erhu might say something that would make him want to vomit.

"Ye Lao Da, Ye Lao Da, you're really not a good person. You said you wouldn't make a move on Xie Chensyan, but you did. You betrayed your brother..."

Thinking about how Xie Chensyan had been taken away by Ye Huang, Zhao Dabao's heart felt cold.

Zhao Dabao was miserable, but Li Erhu, who had been scolded by Zhao Dabao, was secretly happy. He could still see his Qin Yue every day.
