Chapter 58: I am studying the economic structure of an ant society
Yu Wei had just returned to his dormitory at noon when Ni Jin, who had just come back from outside, told him that someone was looking for him downstairs. Yu Wei asked in surprise, "Who's looking for me?"
Ni Jin, his face full of admiration, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Yu Wei, saying, "Brother, you're amazing! I'm truly impressed!"
Yu Wei was somewhat puzzled: "What do you admire about me?"
"He already has a girlfriend on his very first day here. You can't argue with that! Being handsome has its advantages." Ni Jin said with a hint of envy.
Yu Wei was even more confused. What? A girlfriend? When did I get a girlfriend? How come I didn't know?
Seeing Yu Wei's bewildered expression, Ni Jin asked, "Then why did the girl downstairs who was looking for you say she was your girlfriend?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Wei immediately ran to the window and peered downstairs. Good heavens! The short guy with the bun from this morning was smiling broadly and waving at him!
"It's like a persistent ghost!" That was Yu Wei's first thought.
Then she started blaming Huang Xiaochuan: "Huang, you bastard! If you hadn't told this girl with the bun all my secrets, how could she have come looking for me so quickly? You wait, I'm not finished with you!"
However, Yu Wei resolutely refused to go downstairs. Tang Yuan downstairs saw Yu Wei's head twitch and then shrink back, and then disappear from sight. He guessed that Yu Wei was too scared to go downstairs.
It's okay, I'll see if you can come down later.
"Yu Wei...! Yu Wei...! If you don't come down, I'll tell everyone you're a heartless man who abandoned his lover after starting a relationship!" Tang Yuan shouted from downstairs.
Well, now almost every dormitory window has a head sticking out – what a huge sight!
This was outrageous! Yu Wei could no longer sit still! If he didn't go downstairs soon, his lifelong reputation would be ruined by this girl with the bun hairstyle.
He rushed out the door, looking as if his backside was on fire. Ni Jin followed behind, glanced at him, and couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head speechlessly.
Seeing Yu Wei running down in a panic, Tang Yuan wore a smug look on his face. "Little brat, you think I can't handle you?"
The first thing Yu Wei said to Tang Yuan upon meeting her was, "Who's your girlfriend?"
Tang Yuan just stood there, looking at Yu Wei with a sly expression without saying a word.
Suddenly, Yu Wei realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly corrected himself: "I don't have a girlfriend. Don't spread rumors about me. Who are you? I don't even know you."
Unfortunately, Yu Wei ran into Tang Yuan, who cheered and clapped her hands, saying, "You don't have a girlfriend? That's great! How about I be your girlfriend?"
By this time, a large crowd of onlookers had gathered around them. Yu Wei's face turned bright red, and after a long pause, he blurted out, "Oh no!"
Unfortunately, this had no effect whatsoever, and Tang Yuan then asked, "Then will you be my boyfriend?"
He even encouraged the onlookers, saying, "What do you think?"
The onlookers, always eager for a good show, were naturally happy to do him a favor.
"good!"
"Okay!"
"Brother, you're really lucky with the ladies! Hurry up and agree, don't act like a girl and embarrass us men."
"Classmate, if I were to encounter such a good thing, I would immediately burn incense, pray to Buddha, and fast for three months."
"Bro, just go for it! You won't lose out!"
Is it really that hard to say "okay"? You're being way too slow!
Yu Wei had never seen anything like this before. He was so frustrated that he almost burst into tears. He finally managed to escape by pretending to need to urinate. He ran outside the school and found a public phone to call Huang Xiaochuan, still in shock.
After Yu Wei recounted the events over the phone, Huang Xiaochuan, holding his mobile phone, laughed so hard he could barely stand up straight. He simply squatted down to answer the call, mentally giving Tang Yuan a thumbs-up—his sister-in-law was awesome!
Hearing Huang Xiaochuan laughing uncontrollably on the other end of the phone, Yu Wei became furious and embarrassed.
"Are you just going to stand by and watch me get bullied by this little brat? Are you even my brother?"
"I don't think they bullied you. They made it very clear that they want to be your girlfriend or you can be their boyfriend. You're both single and they're both unmarried, so it's a perfect match!" Huang Xiaochuan was clearly leaning towards his sister-in-law Tang Yuan.
Yu Wei said, feeling aggrieved, "You bastard, you lied to me! You said there would be a whole forest waiting for me in college. Damn it, look at how many trees there are in our school! This is a forest? Now there's a short tree stump forcing me to hang myself on it. Am I getting ripped off?!"
The more excited Yu Wei got, the more Huang Xiaochuan laughed uncontrollably.
After finally calming down, Huang Xiaochuan patiently advised Yu Wei: "Anyway, you don't have a girlfriend right now, and you're just killing time, why don't you give this girl a try? If you don't get along after spending some time together, just break up with her, and she probably won't bother you anymore then."
Yu Wei almost jumped up: "You gave me this lousy idea? Weren't you usually against me dating?"
"Hey! Can't you speak properly? Be careful or I'll sue you for defamation! I'm against you dating Jiang Tian, not against you dating this Tang Yuan. If your parents and sister hear this, how can I face them?" Huang Xiaochuan immediately protested.
"I knew I'd ask you for a solution, but it's pointless. You're no better off than me. I'm hanging up!" Yu Wei angrily slammed down the phone.
Huang Xiaochuan stood up, turned off his mobile phone, and stuffed it into his satchel. His legs were so numb from squatting that he needed to lean against the wall to catch his breath.
Sang Weihong, who had just escorted the new students to their dormitories, happened to see them. She quickly went to Huang Xiaochuan and asked with concern, "Junior Huang, what's wrong? Do you want me to take you to the infirmary?"
Huang Xiaochuan also recognized Sang Weihong; after all, good-looking people tend to leave a deeper impression.
"It's okay, it's okay. I was squatting on the ground for a while, and my legs went numb. I'll be fine after resting for a bit. Senior, you can go ahead and do what you need to do. Don't worry about me."
Sang Weihong asked curiously, "What were you doing squatting on the ground just now?"
Huang Xiaochuan spouts nonsense without hesitation: "I'm researching whether ant colonies also have an economic structure system."
Sang Weihong: "??????"
Huang Xiaochuan had already limped away. Sang Weihong shook her head helplessly as she watched Huang Xiaochuan's back. This junior has quite a few ideas!
Just as Sang Weihong was about to leave, Huang Xiaochuan unexpectedly turned back.
"Senior, senior."
"What's up?"
"Senior, do you know where I can buy a used bicycle?"
"I actually know that. Come find me tomorrow morning; I'll still be at the welcome point."
"Okay! I'll come find you tomorrow." With that, Huang Xiaochuan left.
When Huang Xiaochuan returned to the dormitory, the family of three was no longer there, so he casually asked, "Where are our new roommates?"
Wu Duo blurted out, "From what they said, it seems like they went off-campus to look for a place to rent."
Zhang Gaolei asked in confusion, "Didn't they say that students aren't allowed to stay overnight off-campus during university?"
After saying that, he took out the newly issued student handbook, turned to this entry, and showed it to the group.
Huang Xiaochuan didn't offer his opinion, he just chuckled.
