Chapter 36 (1/2)

They met other boys from the same class in the small restaurant. Wang Xiang was very hospitable. He gathered everyone and drunk together.

Lin Wenxi didn’t want to drink at all. Shu Xiaoman was quite into it and Zhang An’an took a few drinks and asked Wang Xiang to pay the bills. Xin Wenxi was watching the waiter change the plates for Zhang An’an one after another. The plates were full of the broken shells of spicy shrimps, the bone of chicken feet, the fishbone of sweet and sour fish, the shell of clams and snails, the fat from pork belly and the scraps from tofu. Zhang An’an was using her chubby hands to slowly open a crab shell and sucked the butter in it.

Shu Xiaoman persuaded Zhang An’an, “The crab is cold-natured, don’t eat too much.” She handed a dish of shredded ginger and said, “I know you don’t like the taste of ginger, but you should eat some.” Zhang An’an didn’t respond. Shu Xiaoman was used to this. She saw the snacks Zhang An’an brought back after the military training and predicted that Wang Xiang would go bankrupt someday.

Wang Xiang felt upset on his way back. He felt sorry for the money he just spent. Zhang An’an starred at him and said, “You invited them. Of course, you’ll pay for them. We just took advantage of it.”

“No, you need to make me understand. Tell me what’s wrong. You are angry, I can tell.” Wang Xiang wouldn’t give up.

When Lin Wenxi and Zhang An’an went back to their own dormitory, Wang Xiang was still asking about what was going on.

“You are so stupid! How great if everyone knows each other and could have a good time chatting. Did you see Wenxi barely talk? He was really shy. Xiaoman hasn’t seen him for so long. They must have lots to say to each other.”

“You’re right. But Do you always wish Wenxi can date with Brother Yuan? Why do you set him and Xiaoman up?”

“From the biology aspect as Zheng Kai said, men, are two-timers.” Zhang An’an laughed.

“I don’t want to hear to this, don’t want to listen to Zheng Kai, don’t want to know about biology… I am not a two-timer… I am… I don’t think other people are worthy, just because of An’an!”

“Looks like you think I’m worthy?” Zhang An’an smiled slightly.

“The beauty of whom I think is somewhere about the water. The modest, retiring, virtuous, young lady, for our prince a good mate she.” Wang Xiang looked at Zhang An’an, provokingly.

“I’m not retiring.”

“In the Tang Dynasty, they believed chubby as beauty…”

“This is modern society now.”

“Ugly An’an, me, Wang Xiang, want to chase you.” Wang Xiang finally stop being elegant and saying poems.

Zhang An’an was about to hit him before her body had been lifted in the air by Wang Xiang. He waddled to the girl’s dormitory and dropped her down. They immediately attracted a lot of onlookers.

“I, like you.” Wang Xiang stretched his hand and rubbed Zhang An’an’s cheek slightly, and then he turned and swayed away.

Zhang An’an frowned with blushed cheeks. She looked at the back of Wang Xiang and said, “Finally act like a real man.” Later, she was still worried about him. So she went to the 24-hour pharmacy and bought sober-up tea. She took it to the boys’ dormitory and asked Lin Wenxi to hand it over to Wang Xiang. Then she finally set her mind at rest.

It was again a few days of military training. Lin Wenxi, as a platoon leader, won much attention from lecturing military theory and organizing military songs. Shu Xiaoman occasionally heard Lin Wenxi’s hearty laughter. It was difficult to believe that he used to be silence and shy. But anyway, she thought that Lin Wenxi was really good-looking when he laughed. She didn’t expect that the training could change him so much.

Chen Wanxin became more active when she came back from home and was really nice to the new roommate, Zhou Nannan. The whole room was united and harmony. Life like this seemed to be really nice. Shu Xiaoman was very satisfied, so did Zhang An’an.

“Report! Class ten has been assembled! Please indicate!” Lin Wenxi saluted standardly and asked loudly.
