Chapter 101 - Parents (1/2)

Many people saw Li Hao take the initiative to walk over and they all looked over.

Li Hao had already grown accustomed to this kind of attention and didn’t feel anything. He responded to Su Min’s words: “You’re welcome!”

He spoke in a very bold and straightforward tone. It was as if he was using a lot of strength when he said that, and Su Min even feared that his head would bleed again.

Fang Shu Juan tried to hold back his laughter.

He used to think that brother Hao would be like those from the underworld but right now he looked a little stupid and not savvy at all.

Su Min lightly coughed: “Do you need anything else?”

Li Hao scanned across the room. The people secretly watching their interaction quickly looked away.

He then turned back and lowered his voice: “At noon today, did you see who pushed me?”

Although he felt that something wasn’t right, his first conclusion was that it was something done by a human.

Su Min said: “No.”

Li Hao repeated himself: “You really didn’t see anything?”

Su Min thought seriously for a moment and replied: “It’s not that I didn’t see. I just didn’t see anyone push you.”

Li Hao said with frustration: “Isn’t that fucking the same thing?”

“Of course it’s different.” Fang Shu Juan who sat to the side advised him. “The meaning behind those two sentences are completely different.”

Su Min nodded, “Yes, that’s right.”

Li Hao wanted to ask how it was different but he then thought of how that could affect his image here so he only snorted a few times and returned to his seat.

He was extremely angry. He felt like he was being played with.

Zhang Jian whispered: “Brother Hao, did they do something?”

Li Hao glanced at him, “What could they do?”

“If they disrespected brother Hao,” Zhang Jian said: “Then we’ll teach them a lesson and let them know how powerful brother Hao is.”

Li Hao reached out and slapped his head.

Zhang Jian covered his head in grievance.

There were still a few more minutes until it was time to return to their rooms. Li Hao picked up his chopsticks and quickly finished off his remaining food while continuing to mull over today’s events.

What was the difference?

Li Hao didn’t have much education, so he wasn’t able to process it very quickly. He spent a long time thinking about it but nothing came to fruition.

When he was done eating, the speaker sounded.

All the prisoners returned to their rooms. One by one, they walked along like zombies repeatedly performing the same action every single day.

Li Hao walked ahead with a toothpick in his mouth.

When he was just about to reach his room, he suddenly snapped his toothpick in half and spat it out. His expression changed greatly.

He finally understood the meaning behind Su Min’s words.

A chill ran up his spine. It clung closely to his bones. It went all the way up his spine, to his neck and it suffocated him.

Li Hao was so shocked, he was speechless.

After taking a few more steps, he finally could gasp for air. He looked back and instantly saw Su Min and the others amongst the crowd.

They were chatting and weren’t looking over here.

Li Hao breathed in and out deeply a few times and turned back around. He entered his room with heavy steps and the door was locked again.

Seeing the same metal bars in the window, the incident at noon once again appeared in his mind. He fearfully took a few steps back.

His roommate who was in the same room didn’t understand what was happening and only looked at him in confusion.

………..

At the door to room 8.

The prison guard looked at Fang Shu Juan hesitantly. He scolded him: “What are you doing here instead of going back to your room?”

Because it was a different prison guard, he didn’t know about the social meetup last night.

Fang Shu Juan said: “I now live here.”

The prison guard said: “Hurry and move aside or I’ll use force.”

“I really live here.” Fang Shu Juan pulled Yin Ze over, “I had a social meetup with him yesterday, so I’ll live here from now on.”

As soon as those words were spoken, silence followed.

It was then followed by a loud jeers: “Social meetup!”

Such bold confessions were rare and, with the very limited fun and entertainment here, it easily led to a loud outburst from the other prisoners.

The prison guard asked Yin Ze: “Is this true?”

Yin Ze said stiffly: “yes.”

Fang Shu Juan said: “I’ll stay in this room in the future.”

The prison guard no longer wanted to look at them. He directly pushed Fang Shu Juan and Yin Ze into the room, “Hurry and get in.”

Su Min followed behind them.

The door was locked again.

After the prison guard disappeared in the distance, Yin Ze shook off Fang Shu Juan’s arm. His expression was stiff, and he clearly wasn’t happy about the earlier incident.

Fang Shu Juan on the other hand was acting the same as before. He didn’t seem to be affected by it at all.

Su Min had already grown accustomed to this.

No matter how dense he was, he had noticed it. What’s more, with all the strange things happening to them, they could be called the so-called “ill-fated pair”.

Only those uninvolved in something like this would be aware of it.

Su Min didn’t want to interfere with something like this, He just wanted to uncover the mystery, solve the case and then leave the movie and return to reality.

Every time he entered a movie, it was a very unique experience.

Su Min’s life until now had been too bland. In his memory, he was mostly studying. Because he was too self-disciplined, he didn’t dabble much with entertainment and games.

His same aged classmates were either immersed in the 2D world or living a very rich life involving basketball, club, dating etc……

The club Su Min was in was even a reading club.

He slowly sighed.

He sat back down onto his bed. Su Min’s eyes moved back over to the window. The corridor outside was filled with people’s voices. Prisoners at noon were always filled with energy.

From his bed, he could only see the room opposite and diagonally opposite. He couldn’t see brother Hao’s side at all and would need to go over to his window to see brother Hao’s room.
