Chapter 45 The Consequence of Being Loyal to Your Bro (1/2)
”Li Qingshi donated a thousand yuan right off!”
”Fang Qiu made a speech in front of everyone. The general idea is when we see a schoolmate suffering for illness, we should not just pitch in some money. What matters is that we should work harder to become good doctors, to save this student, save many other patients who are also suffering, because we are students of a Chinese Medicine university! That's the long and short of it, based on my understanding. The speech Fang Qiu made is truly motivating! I'm abashed!”
”Li Qingshi jeered at Fang Qiu, accused him 'nicely said than done' and actually had no money to donate.”
”Fang Qiu is scanning the QR code to make a donation. How much will it be?”
”The staff announced! Twenty-nine thousand yuan!”
”Impressive, my bro. This is an astronomical figure for us students! If anyone dares to accuse Fang Qiu can only do empty talk and pretend to be sympathetic, I will duel him! Well, I'm done updating. I now need to study! Don't disturb me!”
…
The text live broadcast finished, but the viewers were still choked up with emotions.
”Is it true?”
”Fang Qiu donated twenty-nine thousand yuan?”
Bellow the post was a pile of comments about the viewers' doubts and opinions on this incident.
”Seriously? Fang Qiu really can play all the musical instruments? And the most crucial question is whether Fang Qiu really donated twenty-nine thousand yuan.”
”Twenty-nine thousand yuan is the amount of my living expenses for four semesters. He simply gave it away? Oh, rich people do act willfully...”
”Who knows Fang Qiu's family status? Please tell me, is Fang Qiu a silver-spoon child?”
”The upstair, since he has learned so many kinds of musical instruments and donated so much money, I say he is a silver-spoon child, right?”
”You guys, stop guessing Fang Qiu's identity and background. The point is Fang Qiu's words are right. We are all studying medicine, but we can't help even when our schoolmate is ill. Aren't we ashamed? At least I am!”
”Yeah! He is more good-looking than you guys, more talented and wealthier. Above all, he holds a much greater aspiration than all of you. He simply leaves no chance for us to compete with him!”
”And the thing that terrifies me most is that even though he is better than us by all standards, he is still working harder than us. I'm done goofing around. Now, it's study time!”
”I'm kicking myself to go for study. I won't check the BBS in three mouths or get distracted by any gossips! This post is my promise! Please supervise me!”
”Goodbye, the upstair!”
”I've done a little check. Now, Fang Qiu is already a campus celebrity only second to the mysterious man. His popular index has surpassed that of the campus belle Jiang Miaoyu. At present, the top one, Mysterious Man (martial arts expert), index 41879; the second place, Fang Qiu, index 40230; the third place, Jiang Miaoyu, index 37920. So, Fang Qiu is the strongest competitor for the Campus Celebrity of the Year. I really can't find any other person who is more talented than Fang Qiu.”
”To a personal level, I'm very interested in the grudge between Fang Qiu and Li Qingshi. Begging for more details!”
……
Such comments and opinions were too many to enumerate.
Apart from the mysterious man, Fang Qiu had become the most eye-catching celebrity among all the freshmen.
Or to be more specific, Fang Qiu had become the hottest guy among the freshmen on the surface.
Many people were extremely envious. But they could do nothing about it—Fang Qiu was too powerful to incur jealousy, for others knew all they could do was revere him.
Fang Qiu went back to his dormitory to study, while his three roommates were still flipping through the leaflets of assorted associations and discussing something in whispers.
As to Fang Qiu, they did not want to persuade him anymore.
He was such a diligent student. Perhaps he might join a study group or so, but those jumbled associations probably would not appeal him.
Moreover, they were afraid that Fang Qiu might reveal some other talent of his.
”He is already nature-defiant now. If he has more...”
Well, their hearts could not take more!
Thus, they decided to leave Fang Qiu in books and let him ”run his own course”!
Now, the task of getting girlfriends was all up to them!
After discussing for more than ten minutes, the three dashed out of the dormitory and headed straight to the sports ground.
Twenty minutes later, the three returned with excitement.
Zhu Benzheng and Sun Hao looked quite thrilled, but Zhou Xiaotian's cheerful face suddenly turned glum at the sight the Fang Qiu.
Zhou Xiaotian slumped in the chair beside Fang Qiu and gingerly voiced his proposal, ”The youngest, will you go get Li Qingshi once more?”
”What are you suggesting?”
This proposal of Zhou Xiaotian gave Fang Qiu quite a turn. Seeing that Zhou Xiaotian's face was close enough to press against his, he hastened to draw back and asked, ”Do you hate Li Qingshi?”
”Hahahaha...”
Beside them, Zhu Benzheng and Sun Hao could not bear it anymore and burst into complacent laughter.
Their laughter bemused Fang Qiu, while Zhou Xiaotian's face grew increasingly darker. At last, he snapped, ”I don't care! You just have to challenge one more guy in public. If not Li Qingshi, you can try Wang Qingshi or any random person!”
”Anyway, you just have to challenge one more guy today!”
Fang Qiu looked at the babbling Zhou Xiaotian, then at Zhu Benzheng and Sun Hao who were roaring with laughter, and asked, ”What's wrong with him? And what happened to you two?”
”Haha...Actually, the thing is... Well, as you just battled against Li Qingshi, we all stuck up for you, didn't we?”
Breaking off from laughing, Sun Hao answered.
”Yes? What's the matter?” Fang Qiu inquired.
”Since we stepped forward with no fear for the powerful and scolded Li Qingshi, our upright images have won over a lot of girls. As we went to the sports ground, a flock of girls came to us and friended us on Wechat!”
Saying so, Sun Hao pointed at the sad-faced Zhou Xiaotian and continued with pride, ”When we were done, we found out that the oldest and I got most of the befriending requests, and Xiao Tian got the least.”
”Then we did a bit analysis. It might be the fact that the oldest and I did fiercely denounce Li Qingshi while the fifth oldest did not say a word but only stepped out and pointed at Li Qingshi. Accordingly, our valiant images are more impressive than Xiao Tian's. He almost served as a foil for us, hahaha...”
As he said so, he began to laugh gloatingly again.
Zhou Xiaotian shot a furious look at Sun Hao, then turned to Fang Qiu. He implored, ”The youngest, no, Brother Qiu, I beg you to pick another fight against someone, will you?”
”No!”
Replied Fang Qiu, rather embarrassed.
”He should do this for such a ridiculous reason.”
”I did befriend the wrong guy!”
”Then, you must let me tag along when you challenge someone in the future!”
Said Zhou Xiaotian imploringly.
At this time, a message alert of Zhu Benzheng's Wechat app rang.
Zhu Benzheng opened it and immediately cursed.
”Holy shit!”
But before the others could ask him, Sun Hao's Wechat also rang. As he checked the message, his smile instantly froze.
”Holy shit!”
