Chapter 47 (1/2)

As Chen Wanxin’s dancing team and Zhao Yuan’s basketball team had been built up, Chen Wanxin invited all her team members and all the members of Zhao Yuan’s team to have a party tonight. Everybody was excited upon hearing this suggestion and readily agreed. The three boys from Dorm No.216 enjoyed singing and drinking and could not wait to start the party and impress everyone. Zhao Yuan managed to invite another person to this party. He believed that this person’s coming would pleasantly surprise everyone.

Despite the complicated relationships between the guys of Dorm No.216 and the girls of Dorm No. 213, they never felt awkward playing together. All the girls of Dorm No. 213 would go to the party. Zhao Yuan also dragged Lin Wenxi, who was not on his basketball team, out of their dorm to join this party.

Zhao Yuan said, “You should go out to play. You read that piano score every day. If you continue to do that, you’ll get moss growing on you.” Lin Wenxi said, “I won’t join any contest unless the trophy is a piano.”

Zhao Yuan found this hilarious and sighed secretly, “This Lin Wenxi is indeed childish. Credits are much more valuable than a piano.” He said, “Fuck the piano. Forget about it now. I’ll buy you a piano in the future!”

Lin Wenxi clapped his hands and asked gleefully, “When?” Zhao Yuan replied with a smile, “When you get married.” Lin Wenxi grumpily turned his face away.

Gu Xi happened to hear that. He pettishly shook Zheng Kai’s arm and said in a sweet voice, “Kaikai, I want a piano too.”

Zheng Kai was rendered speechless and used his thumb to poke Gu Xi’s head. He sighed, “Alas, can you just try to act normally?”

“I’m acting normally now. Haven’t you gotten used to me? Don’t they say that living things can always manage to adapt themselves to circumstances?” Gu Xi blinked his eyes and said smilingly.

“Living things can change the circumstances as well,” said Zheng Kai.

“Come on, let’s see whether you can change me. Change me now! Big Xixi, come join me!” Gu Xi grabbed Zheng Kai’s thick arm and pulled himself up. Some substitutes of the basketball team sneered at him, but he did not care about it at all.

Zheng Kai felt really helpless.

Back in the Green Fields Military Academy, Zheng Kai had always been a silent boy, except at the monthly parties of the school. One night, when he walked past a public washroom, he happened to see a group of boys bully a good-looking boy. That boy just refused to back down no matter how the other boys abused him. Such a thing could be seen from time to time in the Green Field Military Academy, and most people in this school, including Zheng Kai, would never interfere in such a situation. Nevertheless, he was tipsy that day and somehow decided to help the good-looking boy out. He quickly knocked all the bad guys down and saved that boy. That boy was Gu Xi. At that time, he was the top chef of his class, and the boys loved his dishes very much and wanted him to cook for them privately. Gu Xi did not want to defy the school rules and refused them. As such, they dragged him into the public washroom to pour cold water and even urine on him.

Since that night, those bad boys had held a grudge against Zheng Kai. Althought they could not defeat him in a fight, they could make all kinds of troubles for him. At such times, Gu Xi would always step forward bravely to help Zheng Kai. Despite that, most of the time, both of them would still get framed by the bad boys and punished by the school. As Zheng Kai worked diligently day and night and had to receive harsh physical training every day, he fell ill and did not have a good appetite. Gu Xi, who was younger that Zheng Kai but was in a higher grade, decided to stay down this year to take care of Zheng Kai. He lived together with Zheng Kai in the school hospital and prepared medicine and food for him every day for three consecutive months. Gu Xi was tired out and fell ill during these three months, but he never stopped taking care of Zheng Kai.
