Chapter 15: I'd rather see you eat it raw!

The incident happened so quickly that the bespectacled man couldn't do anything to help. He could only watch helplessly as the boss's son fell to the floor along with the collapsing bed frame.

Due to the complete lack of preparation, Liang Tao's head hit the metal bed frame used to support the wooden board, and he saw stars, his mind going blank.

Instinctively, he reached out to touch his head, relieved to find no blood.

Secretary Zhao was truly frightened, his voice trembling as he asked anxiously, "Liang Tao, are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

He had been ordered to escort the boss's son to Nan University. On the first day of enrollment, such an accident occurred. Although this matter had nothing to do with him, the boss wouldn't blame his son, right? Ultimately, it was his incompetence.

Liang Tao finally regained his composure and glared at Tang Chong, saying, "You knew about this, didn't you?"

"Yes," Tang Chong nodded. "I saw two screws were missing when I was wiping the bed. I was planning to buy some and fix it later—didn't expect you to insist on switching beds with me."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Liang Tao wished he could punch Tang Chong's large black-rimmed glasses.

He knew he had been tricked by this seemingly loyal guy.

"You didn't ask," Tang Chong said.

"Kid, you're ruthless," Liang Tao pointed at Tang Chong. "I'll remember this."

His pride was completely shattered. How could he have the face to fix the bed himself or ask the secretary for help?

He didn't mention switching beds again. The bed annoyed him just by looking at it. He threw his luggage on the upper bunk by the door and stormed out.

Secretary Zhao gave Tang Chong a venomous look and quickly followed.

Hua Ming, who had watched the entire scene, gave Tang Chong a thumbs up and said, "Impressive. Really impressive. Several floors high."

Tang Chong smiled and said, "I saw the bed was broken and never sat on it. Didn't expect him to be so eager—"

He didn't want to have a conflict with his classmates on the first day of enrollment, especially with someone he would be living with for several years. They would see each other every day. He just didn't tell him about the missing screws. It wasn't like he was deliberately provoking a conflict, right?

"Hehe, some people think they're the best just because they have money—LV clothes, bags, belts, wallets, like a mobile LV display. Are they really that unsophisticated?"

"Being unsophisticated requires capital," Tang Chong laughed. "I'm going to buy some things. Do you want to come?"

Hua Ming looked at his rabbit eating carrot strips and said, "Sure, why not? I brought mostly things for Xiao Shuai. I only brought a few changes of clothes for myself—basins, toothbrushes, water bottles, all need to be bought."

"Let's go together then," Tang Chong said. He looked up at Li Yu, who was sitting on the upper bunk, and asked, "Li Yu, do you want to come?"

"No," Li Yu, with headphones in his ears, was engrossed in a book and didn't even look up to answer.

Tang Chong smiled, not minding, and went to find the campus supermarket with Hua Ming, who was carrying a rabbit.

Tang Chong underestimated the charm of the little rabbit. As they walked, countless girls exclaimed, "Wow, what a cute rabbit—"

"Rabbit? You're the rabbits," Tang Chong thought angrily. He regretted bringing Hua Ming along. In the future, he wouldn't go out with him. Otherwise, people might think they were the 'rabbits.'

"How about it? High attention rate, right?" Hua Ming said proudly. "Isn't it great to be with me?"

"Yes," Tang Chong nodded with a smile. "If only that rabbit wasn't there."

All the attention went to the rabbit. How could he feel accomplished? They, two living people, were less noticed than a rabbit. The first thing those girls saw was—wow, what a cute rabbit.

Was this a compliment to them?

Tang Chong couldn't understand where Hua Ming's sense of accomplishment came from.

"Hehe, if it weren't for Xiao Shuai, would those girls even look at us?" Hua Ming chuckled. "We need to enhance our value. Like that LV display, though it looks unsophisticated, it's not as elegant as playing with a rabbit, but many women fall for it—he's my rival."

"——" Tang Chong felt sad, thinking he had been brought down to the same level as Hua Ming. He had always felt he was much more handsome.

Was that cross-dressing stylist, Aken, really that good? A few touches and he turned him into a genuine, fake **s man?

Even more tragically, Hua Ming said Liang Tao was his rival, meaning—Tang Chong wasn't good enough.

Tang Chong was furious.

Very angry.

He wanted to point at his nose and say to this guy, "Look at my face, look at my face, do I look like Tang Xin from the Butterfly Duo? Yes, I am her real brother."

The campus supermarket was good at attracting business, with signs at the entrance of each dormitory building, making it easy for new students to find the supermarket.

When Tang Chong and Hua Ming arrived, the supermarket was already crowded. Countless students and their parents were queuing to pay for items like basins, toothbrushes, towels, and toilet paper. Two cash registers were open, but the queue still moved slowly.

"Too many people. Let's come back in the afternoon," Tang Chong said.

"No way," Hua Ming, holding the rabbit in one hand and grabbing Tang Chong's arm with the other, said. "More people, more attention, right?"

He pulled Tang Chong into the supermarket.

Sure enough, the girls shopping in the supermarket looked at Hua Ming's rabbit with surprise or curiosity—of course, this was for the rabbit.

Hua Ming gave Tang Chong a flirtatious look, meaning, "See, see how great I am."

Tang Chong was embarrassed to look at him and shopped with his head down, holding a shopping basket.

When he left Hateshan Prison, he only brought a few changes of clothes. After being evaluated by Bai Su and Aken, they threw out all his clothes.

Who wears high school uniforms in college?

All the clothes he was wearing were bought by Bai Su, simple and comfortable. Most importantly, they were low-key.

Tang Chong ignored him, but Hua Ming kept moving closer, saying, "Tang Chong, buy whatever you buy for me too."

He was holding the rabbit and couldn't carry a basket.

Tang Chong, helpless, had to take an extra of everything he was buying.

"Hmph," someone blocked Tang Chong's path.

Tang Chong moved left, she moved left.

Tang Chong moved right, she moved right.

Tang Chong looked up and saw a pair of charming—no, bright—big eyes.

Double eyelids, long lashes, black eyes like ink, white eyes like snow, clear and pure, without any impurities.

Therefore, Tang Chong drew these conclusions:

First, this girl's eyes were very beautiful. Extremely beautiful.

Second, this girl was very healthy. At least her liver was healthy.

Third, she was a bit silly.

How did he know the third point?

Not by looking, but by feeling.

Tang Chong recognized her as the girl who was showing off her doll at the school gate. He smiled and asked, "Is there something you need?"

"Why do I keep running into you?" the girl frowned, her face slightly raised, proud like a little princess.

"——It's because you're blocking my way, right?" Tang Chong said.

"At the school gate, I didn't block your way, but you appeared. When paying, Uncle Wang also said he saw you—now I come to the supermarket to buy things, and you appear again." The girl's face turned red with anger. "Are you deliberately following me?"

"——" Tang Chong thought, is this girl's self-esteem too high?

"Okay," Tang Chong's smile disappeared, and he took a deep breath, looking serious. "Since you've noticed, I have to tell you the truth—"

"No, you can't say it," the girl's face turned even redder, her skin like a layer of red mist. The midday sun shone through the transparent glass window, making her face glow, giving her a holy, almost unapproachable look. "Saying it won't help. I won't listen."

"Why can't I say it?" Tang Chong looked at her in surprise.

"——Just can't say it," the girl stomped her foot in anger.

"I have to say it."

"No, you can't."

"Even if you can't, I have to say it, or I'll suffocate."

"Then suffocate. If you suffocate, you won't have to say it."

"——" He didn't realize this little girl was so fierce.

"I want to say—"

"I said you can't say it."

"I want to say—you're overthinking it," Tang Chong said. "I bumped into you by accident. Where did your mind go?"

"Uh——" The girl's face turned pale and then red, her eyes glaring at Tang Chong, and the doll in her arms started to lose fur.

Then, her eyes welled up, and she started to cry. This girl was like Lin Daiyu, crying at the drop of a hat. And her tears were big, like South Sea pearls.

"Hey, classmate, which department are you in? Are you a new student? How can you bully a girl like this? That's going too far, right?" A hero came to the rescue.

To Tang Chong's horror, it was—Hua Ming.

Seeing Tang Chong speechless, he secretly made a gesture to him, then turned to the crying girl and showed what he thought was his sweetest, cutest smile, saying, "Little sister, don't cry. I've already scolded the bad guy. He won't bully you again. If he does, I'll beat him up. Look, what a cute little sister, just like my rabbit Xiao Shuai. Crying isn't cute—"

"You're the one who looks like a rabbit. You're a dead rabbit," the girl, unexpectedly, was not grateful and vented her anger on Hua Ming. "A big man carrying a white rabbit around, isn't that disgusting? Just trying to attract girls, how vulgar? I'd rather see you eat it raw—"

"——"

PS: I've wanted to write about college life for a long time. Since Lao Liu has been graduated for half a year, I was worried that if I didn't start writing, I would lose that feeling and mindset. These stories are a mix of fiction and Lao Liu's real experiences. You'll have to figure out which are real.

I really like this story and hope you will too!
