Part 3: A Day At The Supermarket

Today, MoZhaHim and KO are at the supermarket when a voluptuous woman passes them with a breeze of fragrance.  MoZhaHim’s gaze follows her and the gorgeous woman actually smiles back.

MoZhaHim truly enjoyed the moment, so he can’t help but turn his head to take a few more glances at her.  KO says impassively, “Stop looking.  I’m better than her.”

MoZhaHim says with disgust, “Which part of you is better than her?  Just look at the shape of her body!”

“I’m better.”

“Holy, in what way?”

KO says casually, “Last night, you said it was too big.”

MoZhaHim almost thought he heard wrong.  When he finally registers what KO has just said, he says angrily, “Get lost!  When have I ever said that?”

KO glances at him.

Okay……alright, he really did say it, but……MoZhaHim scoffs, “Was that a compliment on your body figure?”

“It’s the most important part of the body.”

“……!!!” MoZhaHim is lost without words, so he could only fight to deny it, “I never said anything.”

“You didn’t say it, you screamed.”

“…..You, you, you!  If I said I didn’t, I didn’t!”

“Okay, let’s do it again tonight.”

MoZhaHim’s ears are completely red, yet he pretends it’s nothing by looking left and right.  He sees another pretty woman walk by.  Just to make a certain person mad, he purposely takes a few glances at the woman and even murmurs a few compliments.

“Not bad, not bad.  You can tell she’s the smart type.  Focusing only on someone’s body is too shallow.  Inner qualities are more important.”

KO also takes a look and comments, “The vegetables she’s buying are over-ripe.  She doesn’t know how to cook.”

“Her fingernails are too long.  She doesn’t use the computer much, so she can’t play online games with you, or help you hack into your favorite female celeb’s computer to download their personal photos.”

Did I ask you to go hack their computers?  Did I?  I only said that she was pretty and then you went and did it yourself.  Furthermore, they were all photos of her without makeup and no photoshop, shattering my image of her……

“Her waist is too small, and she’s too skinny.  She doesn’t have the strength to help you rub your back or carry a bag of rice.”

Waist?!  MoZhaHim is outraged, “Where are your eyes looking to?!  Who let you look into such detail!  Get your eyes back here right now!”

KO, “……”

Part 2: A Thing or Two That Happened With The Great Master and Wei Wei

Time: MoK have just started living together, and before they have gone a step further.

One day, MoZhaHim says to Wei Wei secretly, “Junior classmate, I finally found out how much KO’s salary is.”

Wei Wei asks full of curiosity, “How much?”

MoZhaHim answers angrily, “Damn it!  It’s more than me.”

Wei Wei stares at him in silence, thinking that isn’t it normal?

MoZhaHim feels insulted, “Why are you staring at me like that?!”

Wei Wei clears her throat, “Haha, no, nothing.  Oh right, Senior, how did you find out what his salary is?”

MoZhaHim explains proudly, “He wanted to pay me rent, sigh, I already told him he didn’t have to.  Am I, Big Brother Mei, someone who fusses over such little things?  But he insisted on paying rent, as well as food expenses and other things, so he left me with his bank card, hahaha.”

A certain someone is getting carried away and laughs at Wei Wei, “Junior classmate, all your internship payout is still with Third Brother, isn’t it?”

“……” Wei Wei turns her head to him, “Oh Senior~~ Is it really something to be proud of for a man to keep another man’s bank card safe?”

MoZhaHim freezes.

Wei Wei drifts away.


Time: Not long after living together.

A strange thing about Zhi Yi’s office is that there is no reception counter.  There used to be one, but because the poor reception boy’s spot is always occupied by others, it gradually became an administrative and reception counter.

Who has been taking over the spot?  Zhi Yi’s programmers.  This bad habit was started by MoZhaHim and the others.  Every time he has a hard time writing a program and is stuck, he likes going to the front counter and stand in different poses to find his inspiration.  This eventually spread to the others, so when the whole team comes to a bottleneck, the front counter will be surrounded by a number of handsome men……making it quite a view.

Wei Wei has come to visit Xiao Nai, and she spots MoZhaHim at standing at the front counter again.  She says in surprise, “Senior, you’ve gained weight!”

“……” MoZhaHim shakes his head feeling depressed, “This is what happens when you live off of someone.”

Eh?  Wei Wei sweats, “Senior, didn’t you just move into a new apartment?  Who are you living off of?”

MoZhaHim explains dispiritedly, “I am living off of someone in my own apartment.”

Wei Wei compliments in admiration, “Senior, you’re able to pull off something so difficult?  You are incredible!”

MoZhaHim thinks deeply, “It really does seem like so.  I’m provided with food, drinks, and even his bank card.  Mm.”

Wei Wei is also caught in her own thoughts.  She says uncertainly after a long while, “Senior, I’ve also given my bank card to the Great Master, so does it count as the Great Master living off of me?”


Time: after MoK have slept together a few times.

One day, MoZhaHim complains to Wei Wei, “Third Brother is going too far.  Hurry and go tell him to stop giving so many things to KO to do.  Holy, he almost doesn’t even have time to cook dinner for me.”

Wei Wei answers, “Huh?  Oh, okay.”

Therefore, when Wei Wei goes on a date with Xiao Nai, she tells him about what MoZhaHim said.  But she feels weird afterward, “Eh, it’s so weird……Why isn’t KO telling you this himself, yet it’s Senior Beauty who told me instead?”

Xiao Nai says as a matter of fact, “That’s very normal.  This is the so-called socializing between wives.”

Wei Wei, “……”

A Beauty’s Smile is Also Charming (BL)

Characters:

MoZhaHim (DontHitHim): Real name is Hao Mei.  Due to its pronunciation sounding like “Very Beautiful,” his nicknames are Senior Beauty and Beautiful Senior.  He is Xiao Nai’s roommate, a member of the Computer Science basketball team, an employee of Zhi Yi Technology, and one of the top masters of programming.

KO: His real name is unknown.  He is a well-known hacker who is currently an employee at Zhi Yi.  He is also one of the top masters of programming.

YuGongClimbsAMountain: His real name is Yu Ben Shan.  He is Xiao Nai’s roommate, a member of the Computer Science basketball team, and an employee of Zhi Yi.

Bei Wei Wei: She is Great Master Xiao Nai’s wife, and a top beauty of University A.  Her favorite game is “Dream Voyage in Rivers and Lakes.”

Xiao Nai:  He is Wei Wei’s husband, one of the most handsome guys of University A, and is a genius in all areas.  During his University years, he started his own company called, “Zhi Yi Technology (Devoted Technology),” and collaborated with Feng Teng corporation to create “Dream Voyage in Rivers and Lakes 2.”  His nickname is Third Brother.

Part 1: Living Together

YuGong has been living in the same dorm room with MoZhaHim for four years, and it’s not until today that he found out that he’s actually rich.

It all starts when YuGong goes to MoZhaHim’s office looking for some snacks.  MoZhaHim is in the middle of something, so he says, “There are cookies in the drawer.  Go help yourself.”

When YuGong opens the drawer, he doesn’t find any cookies, but instead, he sees a home buying contract laying on the very top.  YuGong eyes almost pop out; he takes it out and gasps.  Holy!  There are actually two!  The top one is for a newly built home, about 180 square meters duplex, and the closing date is a year after.  The second contract is a resale home with furniture included, about 100 square meters, has two bedrooms, a dining and a living room, in a good location, and has luxurious decor.

These two homes add up close to ten million RMB, yet they are paid in full.  The buyer’s signature at the very bottom is no other than MoZhaHim——Hao Mei.

Maybe because YuGong’s expression is too dramatic, so it attracts other staff members who are passing by.  Therefore, one of them comes over and takes a peek.  Whoa!  That person is also in shock too.

As a result, all single men at the company are thunderstruck; MoZhaHim immediately becomes the most hated person at the company.  YuGong shakes MoZhaHim’s body full of heartache, “Big Brother Mei, why?  Why didn’t you bring me along when you robbed the bank?!”

All their other colleagues are also upset, “Beautiful Brother Mei, do you have any spare change from your lotto winnings?  Buy us an apartment too, will you?”

“Beautiful Brother Mei, what is a wealthy man like you doing with a group of broke people like us?!”

YuGong is beginning to feel furious, “Yet you pretended to be poor during our days in University.  You even asked to borrow fifty dollars from me several times!”

“You think I really wanted to?  I’m also very poor!” MoZhaHim is getting dizzy from YuGong shaking him, so he struggles away from him, “I secretly applied for University A’s computer science department and didn’t apply for the University Z’s business program that my old dad wanted me to.  My old dad only gave me six hundred dollars to cover living expenses.  Shit!  I even regretted it.  If I knew Beijing had dust storms and Third Brother, I wouldn’t have bothered coming!”

Xiao Nai was going to dismiss the crowd before he heard himself being compared to dust storms.  Therefore, he stops his footsteps, leans on the wall, takes out his cell phone and starts broadcasting the event live to Wei Wei.

MoZhaHim is now being cornered by the worked up crowd, so he screams, “Stop pushing me!  I’ll treat you guys to dinner!  I’ll treat you guys to dinner!”

After work, Big Brother Mei carries his little wallet full of resentment as he brings everyone to a seafood restaurant.  Other than Xiao Nai not coming, everyone else is here, making them a very large group.  When they start eating, MoZhaHim explains honestly, “You know my mom and dad came last week, right?  I didn’t want to go back to my hometown, so they bought me an apartment as a gift for marriage before they left.”

It would have been better if he didn’t explain.  Now that he has, the anger that has been dispersed from eating seafood has risen again.

“Hell!  Why are you buying two then?  Are you planning to marry two women!?”

MoZhaHim -_-|||

Seeing that he is about to be beaten up by the crowd, MoZhaHim quickly comes up with a scheming plan for them to fight over themselves.  He pretends that he has just thought of something, “Oh yeah, I almost forgot.  I have a spare room at my current apartment, would any of you like to live in it?  I won’t charge rent.”

After recovering from the shock, everyone immediately shouts, “ME!!!”

Their voices are so loud that it almost shook the oyster out of MoZhaHim’s chopsticks, “The room is a bit small, so it’ll only fit one of you.  If you all……”

He pretends to give them a troubled look.

MonkeyWine, who’s also here to eat a free dinner after hearing the news, grabs MoZhaHim’s hand and says, “Brother, we’ve been roommates for four years.  You can’t dump me now.”

YuGong shoves him away, “Get lost!  You’re a graduate student who can live at the dorm.  I’ve even bathed with Big Brother Mei before.  Can you even compare?!”

Co-worker A says, “YuGong, you should think carefully.  When you have a girlfriend in the future, and you bring her back home, man!  Wouldn’t she get win over by Big Brother Mei’s apartment?”

YuGong says shamelessly, “That’s even better.  My wife and I will tie ourselves to Big Brother Mei for life.”

Everyone is struck dumb, “You’ve got quite the nerve!”

Someone from the art department says mockingly, “Just look at this messy relationship!  Beautiful Brother Mei, how many times have you cheated on KO?”

Thinking about Beautiful Brother Mei and KO’s relationship as a “married” couple, everybody turns to look at KO in unison, but only sees him sitting in the corner quietly cracking his crab’s shell without lifting his eyes up to look at them.

MoZhaHim clears his throat to bring everyone’s attention back to him, “Anyhow, we’re all brothers, so I’ll feel bad no matter whom I let to live in the apartment~~~sigh, why don’t you guys discuss among yourselves and just let me know your final decision.”

Everybody’s gaze immediately leaves KO to fight for the apartment.  Instead of the crowd attacking MoZhaHim, they are now attacking each other, thus, MoZhaHim is delighted and takes the opportunity to gulp down the table of food.

They finish dinner amid all the nonsense.  When it’s time to pay, the waitress stands beside MoZhaHim and smiles, “Thank you for coming, it comes to……dollars.”

Everybody is in shock, “That expensive?!”

Seafood is expensive without a doubt, but they didn’t think it would be this expensive.  MoZhaHim was the one who brought them here, so they didn’t know the price range for the food at this place.

While everyone is donning an expression of regret, MoZhaHim casually swipes his credit card, signs his signature, and sighs, “I’ve been keeping a low profile for too long.  Old man here has already forgotten the feeling of spending money lavishly.”

The feeling of regret disappears right away as everyone is struck dumb by his statement.  Of course, there are exceptions; a male colleague stares at Beautiful Brother Mei with heart-shaped eyes, “So generous!  That card-swiping pose!  That’s not Big Brother Mei, that’s Prince Mei!”

After their seafood meal, Prince Mei brings them to karaoke.  They enjoy themselves until midnight before leaving.


It’s Saturday the next day.  MoZhaHim originally planned to sleep until noon, but who knew that someone would ring his doorbell at 9am.  MoZhaHim grumbles and drags his footsteps to open the door.  Who could it be?  Security?  His neighbour?  But he just moved in and no one knows that he’s here.

Once he opens the door, the person he sees standing behind it is actually——

KO?

“KO?” MoZhaHim asks in surprise, “What are you doing here?”

KO raises his right arm expressionlessly to show two bags full of stuff, “I’m here to use the backdoor.”

“Huh?” MoZhaHim stares blankly at the fish tail that is poking out of the bag.  KO walks pass him, goes directly to the kitchen, takes a look around and comes out again.

“You don’t have anything in your kitchen.”

“Big Brother, I just moved in a couple of days ago.”

KO walks to the living room without a word.  He turns on the computer, opens Word, and starts typing.  After a while, he prints out a sheet of paper.

KO gives it to MoZhaHim, “Go get changed.  Go to the supermarket and buy the things listed on this sheet.”

MoZhaHim looks down and reads the items on the piece of paper——a wok, a saucepan, a rice cooker, a clay pot, a spatula, an oven, a microwave, an electric baking pan, soy sauce, chicken powder……etcetera, etcetera.

MoZhaHim swallows, raises head, and looks at KO as if he’s an alien from outer space.

“You know how to cook?”

KO says confidently, “A master chef.”

MoZhaHim is in awe.

“I go?”

KO nods.

“What about you?”

“Wash the vegetables.”

“Oh, okay,” MoZhaHim stares at the list in silence for a while and then asks, “What is an electric baking pan?  What shape do I buy for a spatula?  Do I buy a wooden one, a metal one, or a stainless steel one?”

“……” KO decides, “I’ll go with you.”

Therefore, MoZhaHim carries his little wallet and heads to the supermarket with KO.  Buying things is a breeze with KO beside him, so they end up requesting for delivery.

After everything has been delivered.

“The cooking and eating utensils need to be washed before use, so dinner will take a bit longer today,” KO glances at his wristwatch, “I’m going to play online.  It’ll be ready in two hours.”

MoZhaHim decides to take a nap instead as he watches KO’s back disappear into the kitchen.  Maybe KO will be gone when he wakes up again; and this is all a dream.

Although it feels like he’s dreaming, when two hours have passed, MoZhaHim shows up at the dining table and is drooling over the cooked dishes that seem to have magically appeared.

Fish in fiery sauce, stir fried horsehair crab with rice cakes, steamed chicken wings in salted egg yolk sauce, stir fried green peppers with shredded potatoes, and fried eggplant pockets……they are all his favorite dishes!  MoZhaHim is about to pounce for the food without any dignity when KO comes out wearing an apron holding two bowls of rice and says, “Wash your hands.”

MoZhaHim leaves reluctantly to go wash his hands.  He rinses them quickly and comes back.  He takes a seat at the table and has already gobbled down two wings in a blink of an eye.  KO asks, “Is it good?”

“Goad!  Thay’re quite goad!” MoZhaHim mumbles with his mouth full.  He reaches for half a horsehair crab, “KO, you’re too virtuous.  I can’t believe you know how to cook.”

“Before working at the company, I worked as a cook.”

MoZhaHim freezes in the middle of biting a piece of the crab leg and looks at him puzzled.

A cook?  He suddenly remembers that the person in front of him was once a top hacker.  Does this mean that he was a cook during the day and a hacker at night?!

Does he have to be so legendary?!

MoZhaHim’s once almighty self-pride has been hurt seriously again ever since meeting Xiao Nai, “Wh-Which university did you graduate from?”

Damn it!  He has no choice but to find his self-pride back in the education area.  There can’t be another University that is rated higher than University A.

“Nine years of compulsory education.”

Huh?

KO glances at MoZhaHim’s confused expression and says calmly, “When I was fourteen, there was nobody left in the family.  I didn’t have money, so I couldn’t continue school.”

MoZhaHim feels bad for asking something that he shouldn’t have.  He wants to console him, but he’s really not good at it, so he says sincerely, “You’re very good now.  You’re even better than the rest of us who have graduated from brand named universities.  Although you’ve lost to Third Brother before, it’s definitely not because you don’t have the skills to beat him, it’s because you’ve got a better character ==”

KO looks at him in silence for a while and then says, “I know.”

MoZhaHim==is dumbstruck.  Seriously, I’m just being nice, so there’s really no need for you to be all serious about it!

Half an hour later, all the dishes are empty.  MoZhaHim caresses his big full stomach leaning on the back of the chair.  He burps in satisfaction.

“I’ve decided to live here,” says KO who is sitting across the table.

“Huh? Buuuuuurp~~~” MoZhaHim’s concentration is on his stomach, so his brain clearly doesn’t know how to react.

“I’ll cook.”

“……”

“I’ll wash the dishes.”

“……”

“I’ll mop the floor.”

“……”

“I’ll do the laundry.”

“……”

“I’ll do anything.”

KO glances at a certain someone who is in a daze, and then asks purposely, “Do you want me to live here?”

MoZhaHim cries, “Yes.”

The first round of negotiation ends!  KO nods and goes to the kitchen to wash the dishes.


Not long later on one night, MoZhaHim is pressed down on his bed, stripped naked, and is devoured by someone.  When he scorns while rubbing his bottom afterwards, Brother KO inhales his cigarette calmly and says, “I told you the first day I came, and you didn’t object to it.”

MoZhaHim says angrily, “When did you say it?!”

KO asks, “Do you remember the first thing I said that day?”

“Who the hell would remember……” although he denies it, as a top student of University A, his brain is not just for show, so when MoZhaHim quickly recalls what happened that day, he remembers.

He remembers when he opened the door, he asked, “What are you doing here?”

KO………

seems to have answered, “I’m here to use the backdoor.”

Holy!!!

“You remember now?” KO stubs the cigarette into the ashtray by his bedside, “I said it again afterwards.”

MoZhaHim really can’t recall another time, “When did you say it again?”

“I said~ cooking, mopping, laundry……I’ll do anything,” KO says slowly while staring at him with his eyes that seem like they are burning with black flames.

MoZhaHim’s body is stiff from his stare, and he immediately become outraged, “What’s wrong with that sentence?!!!”

KO, whose expression is completely the opposite of his, says serenely, “I’ll do anything, including you.”

“……”

MoZhaHim tightens his bottom and his face is full of tears.

Side Story 2: Ranking of the Great Master’s Dorm

Only after dating for the first time in his life does Xiao Nai get to know that, if you get a girlfriend, you must treat her roommates to a meal. Of course, he’s very happy to treat them. Moreover, after he has treated them, he even comes up with the idea that he should treat his own roommates. As a result, YuGong and the others have a chance to eat and drink for free. As a result, Student Wei Wei meets the real YuGong and the others for the first time… Read more

Side Story 1: University A’s Beauty Ranking

It’s the night before graduation, and Xiao Nai is staying overnight at the school.

They’ll be bidding farewell to school and joining the workforce the next morning, so everyone at the dorm is feeling emotional and restless.  Therefore, YuGong drags two friends over to make up the headcount for playing a table of mahjong as well as a table for leveling up (gaming).  There are beer and snacks available while they play and chat together. Read more

Part 48: Ending

It’s another year in June.

The summer seems to have come a lot sooner this year.  It was already starting to feel warm in May, and now it feels like a hot summer in June.  Er Xi, who’s helping Wei Wei to carry her bamboo mat (cool mat), thumps her footsteps up the stairs while complaining, “Wei Wei, isn’t this supposed to be a high end condo?  How can the elevators be out of service?”

“What high end?  More like high priced,” Wei Wei is also out of energy; she is carrying even more stuff than Er Xi.  She’s holding two bags full of stuff in her hands and two pillows under her arms. Read more

Part 47: The Never Setting Sun

Wei Wei didn’t think she would see RealWaterIsScentless again; and at University A, her own school, to add to that.

The day when Wei Wei went to the library to return some books, she bumped into a few of her male classmates; they greeted each other by nodding, and that was when she saw RealWaterIsScentless standing beside one of her classmates in shock.

Wei Wei also nodded towards him, and walked passed him.

She could hear her classmates talking behind her, “Did you see?  We also have pretty girls at University A.  She is our department’s number one beauty.  Not bad compared to your school’s top beauty, right?…..”

Part 46: The “Perfect” Vacation

Two days later, a finger-pointing scene appeared at Beijing airport. A gorgeous and alluring woman panting (causing spectators) and dragging a huge suitcase forward, while a tall refined man walks leisurely next to her, empty handed.

Numerous pairs of eyes look at Xiao Nai with destain.

But what kind of person is Xiao Nai? That calm expression of his causes all men who work like a horse to become jealous to death.

Read more

Part 45: Let Me Be Your Follower

After that day, ButterflyDreams called Wei Wei to apologize.  Wei Wei told her politely that it was okay.  She was able to tell her “it was okay” so easily because Wei Wei will not consider her as a friend anymore.

Perhaps she had a reason; something she could not explain to her.  But friends shouldn’t deceive and use each other like that.

ButterflyDreams seemed to realize this and can only let out a sigh.  She never contacted Wei Wei again.

 

Wei Wei continues to be a lively little intern.  She has become more and more familiar with the employees at Zhi Yi, but there is a downside to knowing each other too well.  For example, just the day before, when she suggested some recommendations for the family simulation content at the creativity brainstorming meeting, although everyone applauded the idea, they quickly went awry. Read more

Part 44: Radiance

It’s a brief moment of silence before the atmosphere is light up in enthusiasm.  ButterflyDreams finally finds back the feeling of being the center of attention.  She smiles, “Let’s introduce ourselves.”

“I’m BlueDreams.  Wow, ReedWeiWei (HumbleReed), I can’t believe how pretty you are!” a girl wearing a purple t-shirt introduces herself first.

“SandWashingLargeWaves.  We fought the Dragon King of Lake Tai together.”

“Tobacco.”

“Hi, I’m DeepPupils.”

“Tony here.”

“I’m StopAndGo.”

“LordOfVibratingDuck, haha”……

Those who spoke are the players who have interacted with Wei Wei before.  The following two are new members of the guild after Wei Wei left.

“My name is a bit hard to pronounce.  You can just call me Albus.”

“Beautiful, you can call me BlueWaterLake.”

 

There are four to five other people who have not spoken yet.  The guy beside LittleRainYaoYao (LittleRainEnchantress) looks as if he wants to say something, but he stops abruptly after saying “I–.”

The man beside ButterflyDreams stands up.  Just from the way he looks and dresses, it’s apparent that he has already joined the workforce.  He holds up his glass to gesture a toast towards Wei Wei, “Reed, I’m BattleTheWorld.  We’ve had some unhappy moments in the game, but now that we’re here, let’s put the past behind us.”

“Of course,” Wei Wei says generously.

It’s clear that BattleTheWorld’s words are not only meant for Wei Wei, but also for the LittleRain clan.  LittleRainYaoYao says elegantly, “I’m LittleRainYaoYao.  ReedWeiWei, it’s nice to finally meet you.”

Although LittleRainYaoYao is polite in her speech, but her words make others uncomfortable; everyone in the room feels cold sweat running down their backs.  Wei Wei obviously knows the deeper meaning of her words, but even though she possesses a sharp tongue, she has no interest to entertain her.  She shines a smile and says gracefully, “Hello.”

The young man beside her attempts to speak again.  He’s finally able to look at Wei Wei directly, “I’m RealWaterIsScentless.”

The two girls on the other side of LittleRainYaoYao stare at each other for a moment and say reluctantly, “LittleRainQingQing (LittleRainForeverYoung).”

“LittleRainMianMian (ContinuousLittleRain).”

 

After the introductions, everyone can’t help but circle their inquisitive gazes between Wei Wei, RealWaterIsScentless, and LittleRainYaoYao.  Everyone finally stops when LittleRainYaoYao starts to look irritated.

RealWaterIsScentless stands up to call for a waiter.  He orders a few more bottles of expensive red wine and says imposingly, “It’s my treat today.  Please help yourself.”

“This is too expensive, isn’t it?”

“RealWater, you’re so rich.”

Everyone is in awe of the price of the red wine.

BattleTheWorld smiles, “If it weren’t for RealWater treating us, we wouldn’t be eating here.  Each dish costs three digits.”

LittleRainYaoYao smiles politely, “I was the one who brought up this gathering, so of course he needs to treat everyone.”

Watching her talk like she’s the queen at the table, ButterflyDreams sneers in annoyance.  She turns to Wei Wei and comments deliberately, “Wei Wei, your dress is really nice.  It suits your body so well.  How much did you buy it for?”

Wei Wei glances at her, shifts her gaze away, and says, “I just bought it randomly.  I don’t remember.”

Everybody’s attention is on Wei Wei again.  They start talking enthusiastically to her.

Albus asks, “ReedWeiWei, how should we address you?”

She’s probably asking for her real name.  Wei Wei doesn’t know her well, so she pretends that she doesn’t get it, “Just call me Reed.”

“Wei Wei, I remember that you’re a student.  Which school do you go to?”

This is BlueDreams asking.  Wei Wei knows her a bit better, but her question has put her on a tough spot.  If she doesn’t answer or try to be vague, it’ll make her embarrassed, but she doesn’t want to tell them the truth.  Wei Wei has always been protective of her privacy to avoid any problems.  There is no way that she’ll reveal her true information under this circumstance.  Therefore, she thinks for a moment and smiles, “The food at our school is delicious.”

She is speaking the truth; the food at University A is indeed quite delicious.  However, the following saying is widely spread among students of City B: University A for the brand name, University X for the gossip, E for the beauties, and H for the men……

BlueDreams has indeed misunderstood her words as she says, “So you’re from University X.  Which program are you in?”

Wei Wei skips over the first question and answers, “Computer Science.”

“I’m also in Computer Science at University X!” an excited voice suddenly interrupts.  The player named, Tobacco, stares at Wei Wei in full of surprise, but he immediately questions, “But how come I haven’t seen you before?”

The rest of the table also stares at Wei Wei suspiciously.

 

Can there be such a coincidence?

Wei Wei is struck dumb inside her heart, but her face is still calm.  Just as she is about to speak, LittleRainQingQing chuckles and says sarcastically, “I heard that there are some working women who likes to say that they are University students.”

No one was expecting her to say something like this, so everyone is stunned.

Wei Wei is raging with fire inside.  Her eyes turn cold as she directs her gaze at her and scorns, “How come a young girl like you have a mind that is full of dirty thoughts?”

Wei Wei, who’s gorgeous to begin with, is now donning a sullen face, which actually makes her look condescending; not only for LittleRainQingQing, but also for everyone else at the table.

LittleRainQingQing is startled by her gaze; she subconsciously shifts and avoids eye-contact.

Wei Wei’s disgust for her is growing by the minute just from looking at her.  She turns her head away steadily and asks Tobacco, “Which campus are you in?”

The reason why Wei Wei chooses to mask herself as a student of University X is because she has accompanied Er Xi once to meet up with some computer science students at University X.  Therefore, she knows quite a bit about University X’s Computer Science department.

Tobacco answers, “The Quan Shan campus.”
“You can’t move to the main campus until the third year, right?” Wei Wei asks prudently.

Tobacco is suddenly enlightened, “You’re a Senior from the main campus?  No wonder I haven’t seen you before, but you don’t look older than me at all.”

Wei Wei smiles and doesn’t comment.

Although Wei Wei is pulchritudinous, her gaze is pure and decorous; definitely doesn’t suggest one to think otherwise.  The group already thinks that LittleRainQingQing is stupid for what she said, and after hearing Wei Wei’s “explanation,” they’re even more convinced that LittleRainQingQing has no manners and that her mind is indeed full of dirty thoughts.

 

LittleRainQingQing’s arrogance has been completely obliterated by Wei Wei.  Although she’s loath, she backs down and turns to LittleRainYaoYao to say something.

The atmosphere is a little awkward after the commotion she has caused.  ButterflyDreams, feeling satisfied in her heart, takes the initiative to dissipate the conflict, bringing life back to the table.

Wei Wei has already decided to leave early, but she doesn’t show it.  Whenever someone glances at her, she takes a bite of her food calmly.

 

A few streaks of lightning suddenly appear outside of the window, followed with thunder.  After a brief moment, it starts to rain, capturing everyone’s attention.

“Why does it keep raining these days?”

“It’s okay.  We’re going for karaoke right after and it’s just right beside here anyway, so we won’t get wet.”

Wei Wei’s cell phone rings amid the discussion.  She pulls it out from her bag; it’s Xiao Nai as she has expected.  Since Wei Wei is sitting on the inner side of the room, it would be too obvious if she gets up and walks outside, so she picks it up from where she is.

“It’s raining.  I’ll come get you.”

“Mm,” Wei Wei answers seeing that everybody is about done with their meals, “you can come over now.”

“Okay.”

Xiao Nai knows the place, so he hangs up without further ado.

 

The chattering has come to a stop and all eyes are on Wei Wei.  BlueDreams asks curiously, “Wei Wei, is it your boyfriend?”

Wei Wei nods without hesitation.

ButterflyDreams takes a peek at RealWaterIsScentless and LittleRainYaoYao’s reactions and says quickly, “Wei Wei, why are you in a hurry to leave?  We’re going for karaoke right after, why don’t you join us?”

Another person sitting on the side cheers, “Yeah!  Let us hear the beautiful girl sing.”

“Ask your boyfriend to come with us.”

“My singing is very average,” Wei Wei smiles politely, “and I have something else to do later, so sorry, I cannot go.”

The crowd doesn’t give up, but Wei Wei doesn’t sway as she has already made up her mind.  They finish their meals soon after and RealWaterIsScentless generously pays for everyone with his credit card.  Everyone starts to make their way to the entrance.

 

Wei Wei stands at the front doors to wait for Xiao Nai.  Everyone else also stands with her with no intentions to leave; they tease that they want to see what a beautiful girl’s boyfriend looks like.

Wei Wei is a bit annoyed, but since the place isn’t hers, she can’t say anything to chase them away.

LittleRainYaoYao is also standing at the front doors.  Although her expression shows that she is simply following the crowd, she is also curious to see what ReedWeiWei’s boyfriend looks like.  She feels victorious just for the fact that RealWaterIsScentless is handsome and rich, which is a rare catch.

 

The rain gets heavier.

A sedan slows as it comes near through the rain.  The crowd can tell that it must be Wei Wei’s boyfriend just from her gaze; they can’t help but feel excited.

LittleRainQingQing says condescendingly, “This car isn’t anything spectacular.  It’s not as nice as what RealWater drives, right, YaoYao?”

LittleRainYaoYao glances at Wei Wei while holding onto RealWaterIsScentless’s hand to announce her possession.  RealWaterIsScentless’s eyes flick towards Wei Wei subconsciously, but see that she isn’t looking his way at all because her focus has been completely drawn away by the car coming near.  He feels a bit of bitterness in his heart.

 

In the night, the car slowly stops at the bottom of the steps.  The car door opens, and a tall and straight silhouette holding an umbrella in the rain walks up to the restaurant.

Under the pouring rain, regardless of whether or not people walking on the streets are holding umbrellas, they all seem drenched and in a hurry.  The silhouette is also walking quickly, yet it’s taking steady strides.  It’s as if everyone else has suddenly turned into the lifeless background of a painting and he alone is walking with his umbrella in it.

He gradually makes his way up the stairs, and his facial features become clearer under the light.  Xiao Nai has always been good looking, but his strong personality often overshadows this.  However, under the glowing neon signs right now, his dashing figure and charming good looks captivates everyone in a heartbeat.

LittleRainQingQing and the rest are completely stunned by his radiance.

 

Wei Wei doesn’t like the gazes of LittleRainQingQing and the others; she doesn’t wait for Xiao Nai to come all the way before she bids goodbye to ButterflyDreams and the rest, “Enjoy the rest of the evening, everyone.  I’m leaving now.”

ButterflyDreams attempts to persuade her to stay again, “Wei Wei, why not ask your boyfriend to come join us too?”

“No, it’s okay,” Wei Wei gives a slight smile and declines firmly, “He’s rather shy and doesn’t like to be around strangers.”

There is clearly an underlying meaning to her words, making ButterflyDreams unable to say anything more.

Xiao Nai has already made it to Wei Wei while she was talking.  Wei Wei walks into his umbrella.

“Let’s go.”

Xiao Nai knows that Wei Wei was supposed to meet with ButterflyDreams only.  But seeing the crowd standing together, it’s obvious that things turned out differently, yet he doesn’t ask about it.  He’s used to being arrogant, so he doesn’t bother saying hi or even glancing at them; he leads Wei Wei down the stairs to leave.

 

Everyone silently watches them walk away.  Just as the two beautiful silhouettes holding an umbrella are about to disappear into the rain, LittleRainQingQing bites her lips and suddenly shouts, “Hey!  Your girlfriend has gotten married to a couple of guys in the game already, did you know?”

Wei Wei stops her footsteps in bewilderment. She turns to look at her full of thought.  They haven’t walked too far, so she can capture LittleRainQingQing’s expression fully; her face is twisted and her eyes are blazing with the intent to kill.

“She has cheated in her relationships in the game.  She has bad reputation, and everybody here knows that.  A handsome guy like you shouldn’t be fooled by her.”

Wei Wei has grown up in a pure and innocent world; it’s really her first time meeting someone as obnoxious as LittleRainQingQing.  She can’t even find words to describe her.  Disgust overflows in Wei Wei’s heart.  Her eyes turn glacial as she is about to speak, but Xiao Nai stops her.

Wei Wei glances at him, thinking that he’s going to reveal himself as ASmileNaiHe, but he suddenly shows a despondent face.  He stares at her as he says the words softly with deep emotional love, “As long as she is willing to be with me, I won’t mind these things.”

 

Their car is miles away now, but just from thinking about LittleRainQingQing’s grimace back at the restaurant, Wei Wei can’t contain her laughter, causing her shoulders to shake.

LittleRainQingQing probably wanted to break up her and the Great Master, but who knew that the Great Master would be unbothered by the possibility of her cheating.  He displayed true devotion to her regardless.  This probably makes LittleRainQingQing even more begrudged and agitated.

Wei Wei can’t agree more that the Great Master is better than her more than just a bit in terms of offending and making others angry.

Xiao Nai continues driving impassively.

After absorbing herself in glee for a moment, Wei Wei suddenly asks Xiao Nai, “If I really do cheat on you, would you mind?”

“No,” Xiao Nai answers nonchalantly.

Eh?  Wei Wei stares at him in shock; she thought he would be angry enough to kill.

Noticing her dubious gaze, Xiao Nai chuckles.  He stops the car on a red light, and turns to look at her, “At most, if you try to climb over the wall one inch, I’ll layer it up an inch.  If you try to walk a meter away, I’ll follow you a meter.” (I’ll do anything to stop you from cheating)

Although his voice is soft, his words shudders Wei Wei’s heart; there’s a tinge of feeling inside that she cannot explain.
