Chapter 1672: Holding a Class Meeting

~14 min read 2,673 words

Summer mornings are always very lively because it gets too hot once the sky is bright and the sun rises.

So, when dawn was about to break, taking advantage of the coolness, the elderly who were idle and couldn't sleep came out to stroll, walk their dogs, exercise, and get some air. There were also people who liked to exercise who specifically avoided the high temperatures and got up early to run and train.

Undoubtedly, the university playground was very popular. The first choice for exercise for people nearby must be a university with a perfect playground track.

Xiao Haiyang climbed up when the alarm went off, dressed neatly, and went downstairs to the playground to run.

He used to be very fat, but after years of unremitting effort, he successfully lost weight and became what he was now. The habit of exercise remained, so he persisted in getting up early to train.

By the time he reached the playground, it was already bustling with noise and excitement. It was the first choice for activities within a one-kilometer radius, and the scene was quite lively.

Xiao Haiyang stretched and started running. After running more than half a lap, he saw Wang Yan practicing boxing in the corner.

He stopped and went over to greet him: "You know martial arts too?"

"I can play around a bit."

"Do you have a master?"

"No, I learned it by myself following books and watching videos." Wang Yan didn't stop his movements, gesturing with every move and stance.

Xiao Haiyang didn't understand martial arts, but he could see that Wang Yan's movements were proficient, comfortable and natural between punches and kicks, with a hint of harmonious Daoist charm flowing.

"Then you really practice well. Maybe you are that one-in-a-million martial arts genius."

"It's just been a long time, that's all. When I was a kid, I watched those martial arts TV series and anime. You've seen 'Chinese Boy', right? At that time, I wanted to practice a set of martial arts and be able to jump high and fly around. As a result, I didn't practice any internal Qi, but I remembered these routines, and the more I practiced, the more proficient I became. You said my muscles look good, right? It's all from practicing persistently for so many years."

"Then you are also quite impressive. Being self-disciplined for so many years, ordinary people can't do what you do."

Wang Yan laughed: "If you treat self-discipline as something impressive, then this self-discipline is meaningless."

"What you said is also true. After all, you discipline yourself, not for others to see." Xiao Haiyang nodded thoughtfully, then smiled brightly and said, "You keep practicing, I'm going to run."

Wang Yan waved his hand and continued to practice boxing on his own.

It wasn't quiet on his side either; there were still a few old men nearby who practiced Tai Chi with him as friends through martial arts, chatting with him while practicing.

After practicing two rounds of boxing like this and playing on the horizontal and parallel bars for a while, he greeted Xiao Haiyang and left to go to the cafeteria for breakfast.

Just as he reached the entrance of the cafeteria, he saw a female student waving at him. She had a ponytail, wore loose sportswear, and her face looked a bit baby-faced.

Wang Yan stopped and waited for her to approach, puzzled: "Do you need something?"

"Are you Wang Yan from the TV photography major! My name is Gu Yixin, we are classmates, very happy to meet you."

Gu Yixin reached out her hand, and Wang Yan shook it.

Only to hear her say: "Are you very curious about how I knew your name is Wang Yan, and how I knew you were in the TV photography major? As long as you treat me to breakfast, I'll tell you the answer."

Wang Yan revealed a standard smile showing eight teeth, then turned and walked into the cafeteria.

"Hey, aren't you curious? Don't you want to know? Or do you already know? No, say something!"

Gu Yixin chased after Wang Yan and started chanting.

"Do you know what the worst thing is? It's that you clearly can speak, yet you use cold violence against a girl like me who took the initiative to strike up a conversation with you. You're not a gentleman at all. Say something!"

She followed Wang Yan all the way to the breakfast stall, also holding a tray and following behind Wang Yan, persistently harassing him.

Seeing Wang Yan order a pile of steamed buns, soy milk, tofu pudding, tea eggs, and pickles: "Ordering so much, can you finish it?"

The cafeteria aunt calculated the number and waited for Wang Yan to swipe his card. Wang Yan turned his head to look at Gu Yixin: "Want to know why I'm not curious? If you want to know, treat me to breakfast and I'll tell you."

"I don't want to know at all."

"Are you sure? Just this one chance. From now on, no matter what you say, I won't tell you. You will never think of this answer in your whole life, living in the pain of craving the answer for the rest of your life. Classmate Gu Yixin, as your good classmate, I sincerely suggest you grasp this opportunity."

Gu Yixin glared at Wang Yan: "In your dreams! Let me tell you, wanting me to spend money, ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE!" She said it through gritted teeth.

"Hurry up, people behind are waiting."

At this time, the people queuing behind to pay started urging impatiently.

Wang Yan smiled at Gu Yixin, and under her gaze, took out his meal card from his pocket to pay, then carried his tray to find a seat and sat down, eating big mouthfuls.

Gu Yixin followed closely and sat opposite him: "Wasting food is shameful."

Wang Yan ate half a bun in one bite, a whole bun in two bites, stirring the tofu pudding and ignoring Gu Yixin.

"You can't be so impolite! No matter what, we are classmates, we see each other every day, what deep hatred can't be explained clearly? Cold violence is wrong!"

Wang Yan placed his iPhone 5s on the table to watch the morning news, eating and drinking big mouthfuls, feeling carefree.

"Wang Yan! Don't go too far!" Gu Yixin clenched her fists, wishing she could glare Wang Yan to death.

However, Wang Yan still kept his head down, ignoring her at all.

Gu Yixin suppressed the distortion in her heart, enduring the itchiness of urgently wanting to know or complete something, staring at Wang Yan eating breakfast fiercely, as if she wanted to bite Wang Yan to pieces.

"Look at your hair, it's all matted, sloppy..."

Wang Yan glanced at her: "Getting desperate and starting personal attacks."

"It was you who first..."

"And now you're shifting the blame and being unreasonable."

"I just..."

"And now you're pretending to be innocent after brushing off your impoliteness."

"No, why are you..."

"Personal attack again."

Gu Yixin adjusted her breathing, calmed down the mood of wanting to hack Wang Yan to death, and said with a solemn expression: "I was wrong, I'm sorry, I apologize to you. I shouldn't have asked you to treat me to a meal when we first met as strangers."

Wang Yan looked up at her until she was at a loss, then nodded and said "Hmm": "We will still be good classmates in the future."

"Then good classmate, can you tell your good classmate me why you aren't curious?"

"That's another matter. I've already told you, there was only that one chance before. But you didn't grasp it, so guess for yourself."

Gu Yixin really wanted to die. People with strong curiosity are like this; if their curiosity isn't satisfied, they will be restless, as if there are ten thousand ants crawling in their hearts, making people itch but unable to scratch.

Even if this matter is very small, negligible, she will still feel very uncomfortable.

In this regard, Yu Hao, who loves gossip, is also like this; if his curiosity isn't satisfied, he can't sleep at night either.

"How can you be like this?" Gu Yixin glared at Wang Yan. In her eyes, Wang Yan had already died countless times.

"How am I like this? I already clearly told you before, and sincerely hoped you would grasp the opportunity. As a result, you didn't grasp the opportunity, so what else is there to say? Do you want to say you already apologized?

You apologized because of your impoliteness, and you brought this on yourself. I don't want to know your 'why', and you don't know my 'why', isn't that great."

Wang Yan peeled the egg, put it in his mouth in one bite, suddenly said "Oh", and then, facing Gu Yixin's gaze, paused for a few seconds, then shook his head, and continued watching the news.

"What are you 'Oh'-ing about? Say something! Can you not be like this? Wang Yan! Good classmate!"

Gu Yixin was already a bit broken, sometimes softening, sometimes requesting, sometimes whispering blessings to Wang Yan.

But after witnessing Wang Yan's appetite, she still couldn't get a satisfactory answer.

Although she knew that the fact that she knew the class list in advance and matched the people wasn't a big deal, and that Wang Yan knew she knew wasn't a big deal either, the series of things that happened between the two sides made her uncomfortable.

Watching Wang Yan leave swaying, Gu Yixin said "Glutton", and helplessly ate her own meal...

Today is the deadline for reporting, so those who haven't come have also arrived one after another.

The other two people in the 618 dormitory both came in the morning.

One was named Luan Mengyu, a local, and the other was a repressed, nerdy little fatty who wore glasses. He was also a gear-head; just like Wang Yan, he brought a whole suitcase of equipment and claimed that wasn't even everything—he had plenty of old cameras back home because he loved collecting gear. He even told Wang Yan they should pool their money to buy a large dehumidifying cabinet to keep in the dorm to prevent their lenses from getting moldy.

The other is named Ma Chi, a native of Beijing, over 1.7 meters tall, neither fat nor thin, with long hair full of artistic flair, a person with an air of "all four seas are brothers," and also a smoker. As soon as he came in, he distributed cigarettes to everyone.

And it wasn't until the two of them arrived that Jiang Yunming woke up; he only got up after the little fatty's parents left.

"Oh, my head," Jiang Yunming took the cigarette and said to Ma Chi, "Thanks. But Old Wang and I have already agreed, we'll just smoke in the room for these two days of reporting, and after that, we'll go to the restroom to smoke."

"Sure," Ma Chi didn't have any extra words, nodding in approval. "The little fatty doesn't smoke, we have to take care of him, right."

"Actually, I'm fine," Luan Mengyu pushed his glasses and said somewhat embarrassedly.

"But we can't let the room get yellow with smoke, and the quilts all smell like it," Wang Yan looked at Jiang Yunming with a smile. "You really are 'a thousand cups and you won't get drunk'."

"I'm not drunk!" Jiang Yunming said decisively. "I came all the way from Henan, how hard was the journey? As a result, when I arrived, I had to clean up, buy things. The few bottles of beer I drank last night were just to help me sleep, letting me have a comfortable sleep. I feel relaxed all over now. Take another puff of smoke, hey, it's simply heavenly..."

Everyone heard that Jiang Yunming was finding excuses; otherwise, his reaction shouldn't have been so big.

Seeming to see the disbelief of the three, as well as the unspoken banter in their eyes.

Jiang Yunming said: "To celebrate our acquaintance, on such a significant day, I think we need to drink to celebrate. I saw the notice in the freshman group saying there's a class meeting at six tonight. After the class meeting, we'll buy vegetables and wine and go back to the dorm. Today, there's only one goal: to determine the king of 'a thousand cups and won't get drunk' in our dorm!"

"Sure, I have no opinion. Without telling lies, I've never feared anyone when it comes to drinking." Ma Chi's words were frivolous, as if he wasn't convinced by Jiang Yunming's drinking capacity.

"I'll be at the bottom, I can't drink," Luan Mengyu smiled honestly.

Wang Yan took over: "It's fine, I can't drink either. The two of us will record for them, so we don't forget the battle results tomorrow."

"What battle?"

At this time, Yu Hao walked in, fanning his nose with a look of disgust. "You're all here? Hello everyone, I'm Yu Hao, I live next door to you, we are all in the same class."

After a simple introduction, they were considered familiar, but it would still take some time to truly get to know each other.

At the same time, Yu Hao also learned about the drinking plan for the evening, saying directly that he would join in the fun and chat in the evening.

"A new one also came to our dorm, named Lu Qiaochuan. You don't know, he used two packs of my paper when he went to the restroom earlier; I don't understand how he used it."

Yu Hao had a big mouth and didn't hide anything. He said "Oh" and continued, "You don't know, this person might have some problems. He stared straight at Xiao Haiyang and me, and even touched our heads with his hands, making me feel creepy."

"Then he might really have some big illness, be careful, when you sleep at night..." Jiang Yunming laughed, looking like he was gloating.

"Oh, annoying, shut up, you're making it sound so creepy." Yu Hao turned and ran away, going back to observe if Lu Qiaochuan was a normal person...

Not waiting until the evening to buy, the four people in the 618 dormitory went to the cafeteria for lunch together, then went to buy wine and cooked food, and waited until the evening to buy other food.

Time flew by, and by evening, the sunset was still hanging in the sky. The school teachers all worked overtime to hold a class meeting for the new students to explain some things.

When Wang Yan and the four of them came over, there were already some people in the class. Yu Hao was chatting with people there, Lu Qiaochuan was touching people's heads one by one, and Xiao Haiyang was quietly observing Zhong Bai.

Glancing at a quiet little girl with bangs and a ponytail sitting there, boredly fiddling with her fingers, Wang Yan walked straight over and sat down beside her.

He heard Jiang Yunming and the others jeering, but the quiet girl didn't care. She looked at Wang Yan seriously: "Hello, someone is already sitting here."

"It's fine, I'll leave when she comes back." Wang Yan introduced his name and hometown to her with a smile.

"My name is Li Shuci, 'Shu' from special, 'Ci' from poetry. I come from Chengdu. Hmm..." Li Shuci hesitated for a moment and said seriously, "I like Zhang Fengyi."

"Oh, do you like his movies and TV series, or are you watching his variety shows recently?"

"Both." Li Shuci started chanting about Zhang Fengyi's affairs.

Wang Yan listened very patiently.

Just at this moment, the two who were chatting happily were covered by a shadow.

"Hey, this is my seat! Please get up and find another seat."

Gu Yixin's tone was quite bad; seeing Wang Yan made her liver ache...
