64 Impending Storm (1/2)

Because Xiao Luo was against her, Huang Ruoran had always despised him. She wished that he was not even in the class at all. However, when this loathsome boy had appeared at her most desperate moment and rescued her like some sort of savior, Huang Ruoran's hatred for him crumbled in an instant.

She had a fair complexion, refined facial features, and slender, arched eyebrows. Then there were those cynical, dark eyes…

Huang Ruoran was sitting in the backseat on the passenger's side and staring blankly at the man in the front seat. Her heart was unable to settle.

”What's your name, pretty lady?” Zhang Dashan asked with a smile while looking at Huang Ruoran in the car's rearview mirror.

”Huang Ruoran.”

”Oh. Ruoran. My name is Zhang Dashan. I'm Xiao Luo's trusty old partner. My nickname is Cannon, but you can call me by my real name, Dashan. Although Cannon also works!” Zhang Dashan giggled, attempting to lighten up the atmosphere.

Huang Ruoran could not understand his sense of humor, so she didn't give him any response. She just sat on her seat without saying a word. The fear she had just experienced still lingered in her mind. The ambiance inside the car instantly plunged into an awkward silence.

Zhang Dashan wasn't giving up. He didn't believe that he couldn't liven things up. After a couple of dry coughs, he said, ”Ruoran, let me tell you a joke. A monkey is sitting in a tree. When a big truck passes beneath the tree, it stops. Guess why?”

Seriously? Such an old school joke?

Xiao Luo couldn't help but shake his head. He refused to believe that this was the first time Huang Ruoran heard this joke. He glanced at the back seat out of the corner of his eyes. As expected, Huang Ruoran remained indifferent. She was in a daze as if in some faraway land.

Zhang Dashan continued, ”Because the truck driver thought that the monkey's a*s was a red light! Don't you think he's stupid? He's really stupid, right? Hahaha…”

As he finished telling the joke, he cracked himself up and even teared up.

After only four or five seconds, he discovered that Huang Ruoran wasn't reacting to his punchline at all. Beside him, Xiao Luo studied him expressionlessly.

”I—isn't it funny?” Zhang Dashan asked.

”Not at all,” Xiao Luo said, not mincing his words.

Zhang Dashan spread his hands and retracted his neck. ”Well, awkward!”

”Just focus on driving. Don't go the wrong way again,” Xiao Luo exhorted.

Zhang Dashan became agitated and raised the pitch of his voice as he said, ”F*cker, if I go the wrong way again, I swear I won't touch another girl ever again in my life!”

Half an hour later, they were finally back at Huaye.

Although Huang Ruoran was still badly shaken, she refused Zhang Dashan's offer to drop her directly at her dorm. When she got out of the car, she bowed deeply to Xiao Luo and Zhang Dashan and said, ”Thank you.”

Then, she turned around and returned to school.

Xiao Luo understood her very well. She had a strong personality. Unlike the other girls, she wouldn't so readily accept help and affection from boys.

”That girl isn't bad, you know. Look at how small the crack is between her legs. I think she's still a virgin! Xiao Luo, hurry up and take her down,” chuckled Zhang Dashan while looking at Huang Ruoran's back.

”Do you have anything else inside your brain besides that one thing?” Xiao Luo said directly.

”C'mon bro. Our ancestors used to say that the desire for food and sex is part of human nature. Can you not be so uptight? In our society today, wolves are abundant, and meat is scarce. So, if you don't bang a pretty girl, someone else will, sooner or later. Why not take the good stuff for yourself? You shouldn't restrain yourself too much. YOLO!” Zhang Dashan preached earnestly.

”Dubious nonsense.”

Xiao Luo rubbed his nose, then shifted the topic of conversation. ”Oh yeah? Are you really gonna go wh*ring later?”

Go wh*ring?

Zhang Dashan's expression changed immediately. ”The heck? How can you say that and still look so dignified? Don't you feel ashamed?”
