85 Tons of Injuries (2/2)

Xiao Luo responded with a non-response and hung up the phone.

Challenge! Space!

It was obvious that Chu Yunxiong was hinting at something specific, but Xiao Luo could not figure out what it was. It was as if there were a thinly veiled sheet of paper separating him from a room. In the candlelight, only the room's blurry image could be seen. That is to say, Xiao Luo already knew what it was that Chu Yunxiong wanted, but he had yet to understand it completely. The not knowing gave him a real itch, and he knew that he simply had to check it out.

”Does he really know what I'm thinking?” Xiao Luo wondered, mumbling to himself. He wanted nothing more than freedom without governance and a career that would challenge him.

”Forget it. I will go and check it out tomorrow!”

After making up his mind, he walked down the stairs. The English Department students were waiting for him to guide the choir. The competition was tomorrow.

They were still all gathered on the lawn behind the school, in the pavilion with the strong scent of books.

”Xiao Luo is here. Everyone, get into your positions!”

Once Huang Ruoran saw Xiao Luo, she shooed the girls chatting on the lawn and prompted them to stand in position at once.

The girls got into position quickly and welcomed Xiao Luo with smiles.

When Xiao Luo had first said that they were going to defeat the Measurement and Control Department, the girls had seriously doubted him. However, over the past few days, under Xiao Luo's guidance, their singing standards had improved dramatically. Just yesterday, when Qiu Liang from the Measurement and Control Department had heard them singing 'Yellow River' only once, he'd gone into shock. They had completely changed their singing technique.

After hearing the girls sing, Qiu Liang had asked the team leader from the Measurement and Control Department, Zhao Shijie, to request a cancelation of the bets that they had placed. Just hearing about this gave the girls a huge confidence boost accompanied by a wave of relief.

It could now be said Xiao Luo commanded almost as much respect in their class as Huang Ruoran.

”Brother Luo, my dearest Brother Luo, what took you so long? Everyone has been waiting for you for half a day already,” Zhu Xiaofei complained.

Immediately, the girls in the class began to roast him.

”Hero Luo can arrive whenever he pleases! It's none of your business, you stupid pig!”

”Exactly, this stupid pig is just here to give Hero Luo attitude.”

”This stupid pig is so rude. So, so rude.”

…

Zhu Xiaofei looked so bad in front of the girls that he may as well have just eaten feces. All he had done was voice a small complaint, so how had he angered this entire group of girls?

Ding Kai glanced at him and said, ”Don't look at me! Who the f*ck knows what's happening in your brain. Out of everybody here, you choose to whine about Brother Luo. You can't blame anyone for your own stupidity and foolishness.”

”Kaizi, don't you feel like that's a bit unfair? After all, the three of us are considered the class' national treasures. So, why is there such a vast difference in the way we are all treated?” Zhu Xiaofei lamented.

Ding Kai chuckled proudly and said, ”Hehe! It's all thanks to Brother Luo that I'm also on Huaye's forum's hot searches list. Recently, I managed to win the heart of this junior I've been crushing on. Since last time, the difference between us has grown really huge.”

What?!

Zhu Xiaofei opened his eyes in disbelief, and he was unable to believe what he had just heard. He and Ding Kai, as the skinny and fat ones, had been given the joint title of ”Ugly Duo” in the English Faculty. So long as everybody was single together, everything was fine. But what was happening now? Ding Kai had a girlfriend, and yet Zhu Xiaofei didn't. The amount of pain Zhu Xiaofei felt was unbearable.

It was really a lot of misery!
