Chapter 864 - Back to Campus (2/2)

Knock, knock…

Just as he came to the dormitory door, Tang Xiu knocked on the door and found that it was left unlocked. There was no other sound except someone’s snore. After pushing the door and coming inside, he saw Yue Kai, Hu Qingsong, and Xue Chao still lying in bed and snoring loudly.

‘Did they have a drink last night?’

Tang Xiu glanced with a strange expression at many bottles disorderly discarded on the floor and the cupboard. Yue Kai and Hu Qingsong were normally lazy bums, but not Xue Chao, the diligent one! How come he…

A smile climbed up his face and while still carrying the breakfast boxes, he shouted loudly, “FIRE!!!”

“W-What? FIRE?!! Where is it?!!”

Hu Qingsong abruptly sat up from the bed and didn’t even see Tang Xiu as he straightly jumped from the bed in a rush. Yue Kai was better than him and desperately threw out the quilt with a stance that was about to run from the bed.

“Huh? Big Bro Tang?!”

Xue Chao, however, just took a slow motion to sit down, while his sleepiness instantly vanished upon seeing Tang Xiu’s face.

“Well, you three of you were truly inside dreamland, eh?” Tang Xiu chuckled and said, “Did something good happen to you or something? You should have had a great drink last night, right?”

“Shit…”

“Bastard…”

Hu Qingsong and Yue Kai straightly spat out the profanity after realizing that Tang Xiu had pranked them.

It’d been a long time since they got along together and, after the merriment, Tang Xiu knew why the trio drank so much alcohol. It turned out that the girl targeted by Hu Qingsong was snatched by a handsome rich fella who also had good academic grades.

“Hey, Old Hu, there are like tens of millions of girls in China, why should you bother to drown yourself over just one flower?” commented Tang Xiu with a smile. “Just ask these buddies of yours to help you by introducing you to a better one.”

“It’s not that I’m unhappy that she was pursued and snatched by this guy, mate,” smiled Hu Qingsong bitterly. “The thing is that damn bastard is way too unbridled. He relies on his wealth, and I admit that he’s richer than me, but it feels like he’s abusing me, you know. You don’t know him, Big Bro; that guy is nothing but a jerk and is also quite famous for being unfaithful and fickle in love in our campus, while he also has tons of chicks outside. That brat even stopped and violently beat someone outside the campus at the end of last year.”

“Eh?” Tang Xiu was amazed and asked, “To think that he even dares to fight outside the campus, does this guy have many resources and abilities?”

Yue Kai patted Hu Qingsong’s shoulder and said with a dry smile, “Well, he does have quite an impressive background, Big Bro. Rumors have it that he’s the son of a rich and powerful man in Haiqing Province. I admit that my family is quite well-off, but comparing to him, it’s like a chasm. Do you know how he pursued that girl Old Hu had been targeting? I never knew how that guy could do it, but he got a helicopter and landed it on open space behind our campus, then confidently showered her with roses and all kinds of gifts. That kind of spectacle …”

Tang Xiu couldn’t help but chuckle and said, “It’s no fun to nail girls who love material things, mate. Besides, just relax, Old Hu! Don’t give up the whole forest just for a tree.”

“I chased her for half a year and never once had I ever touched her, which got me depressed,” said Hu Qingsong helplessly. “Bah, forget it; please do not console me, alright? I won’t be bothered by that brat Miao if he’s no longer acting arrogant before me.”

A surname of Miao? And one from Haiqing Province?

Tang Xiu was quite surprised and interjected, “This fellow you told me, is he the son of the Big Boss of Miao Group in Haiqing Province?”

“Nah, he’s not. But I heard that the Miao Group’s Big Boss is his uncle, though.” Hu Qingsong shook his head.

“Ah, so it turns out that he’s Miao Wentang’s nephew! No wonder he acts so arrogantly since Miao Wentang does have the wealth and is a very powerful man, to begin with.” Tang Xiu smiled and said, “Anyways, let’s stop talking about this topic and take a bath, won’t you? I’ve brought you all breakfast and we’ll go to class after grabbing them.”

“We don’t have any class this morning, Big Bro Tang!” replied Yue Kai with round eyes.

“Say what?” Tang Xiu was surprised and spaced out. He hadn’t come to campus to attend class for a long time and thus didn’t expect that the schedule had been changed. Then he helplessly said, “Let’s just go outside and hang out since we have no class, then. I haven’t been on campus for a long time and feel kinda estranged now.”

“Well, I can’t go to sleep again anyway, so why don’t we come over to hear song rehearsals?” suggested Yue Kai all of a sudden.

“That’s a good idea! (Second that!).”

Hu Qingsong and Xue Chao nodded in agreement at the same time.

“Listening to song rehearsals? Where?” asked Tang Xiu, looking confused.

“It’s our class teacher, Big Bro. She’s just great, period,” said Yue Kai with a grin. “Well, let’s spare the explanation, shall we? Words are no proof; just wait and come with us. You’ll know it.”

The class teacher, Han Qingwu?

The revelation caused Tang Xiu to be confused. After the trio gorged down the meal, the group of four quickly left the dormitory.
