Chapter 32 - In the Name of Er’jie

As soon as s.h.i.+ Lei returned to the dorm, Zhang Mo and the others surrounded him. 

“s.h.i.+tou, where’s your laptop?” Zhang Mo asked in astonishment as he saw s.h.i.+ Lei with empty hands. 

s.h.i.+ Lei had been running around for the whole day and was exhausted. He did not have a good sleep last night either and he was not in the mood to pay attention them. He flopped down on the bed and finally felt that his body belonged to him again. 

“I’m asking you, where’s your laptop?” Xu Ming chucked a pillow at him. 

s.h.i.+ Lei threw the pillow on the floor and said impatiently: “I gave it away!” 

“What the h.e.l.l? You gave away that sick a.s.s laptop? You should’ve at least let us play on it for a few days first?” Luo Yi was extremely unpleasant. 

“It’s my laptop. I can give it away whenever I want. If I let you play on it for a few days, people will see that it’s second-hand. How can I give it away like that?” 

“Who did you give it to? As expected of a fuerdai, giving away an 80,000 yuan laptop so casually.” Xu Ming sighed. 

“A guy or a girl? I’m guessing a girl, otherwise our gaofushuai(1)……. Uh, not that tall, and not that handsome, but definitely rich! It’s definitely a girl, right?” Luo Yi said. 

Xu Ming immediately followed up: “Obviously it has to be a girl. Do you even need to ask this? Giving away an 80,000 yuan laptop to a guy? Unless there’s something wrong with s.h.i.+tou’s s.e.xual orientation.” 

But Zhang Mo frowned and asked: “s.h.i.+tou, you left first when we were at the bar last night, but you came back later than us. No way, don’t tell me that you met a girl at the bar and gave it to her?” 

Xu Ming and Luo Yi yelled together: “s.h.i.+tou, don’t get scammed! Sure, you can play around with the girls from the bar, and you don’t care about the money. But eating and drinking is fine, how can you give away an 80,000 yuan laptop so casually?” 

s.h.i.+ Lei was annoyed and yelled loudly: “No, no, no! It’s a girl, alright, but she’s a friend whom I grew up with and has nothing to do with the bar. Can you stop being so noisy? Can you let me sleep for a while?” 

The three of them looked at each other, nodded at the same time and said: “Girlfriend, innocent playmates. Tsk tsk, there’s nothing more we can say then. s.h.i.+tou, when are you gonna show her to us?” 

“f.u.c.k off, I need to sleep.” 

“Nope, you have to explain it clearly. Everyone in our dorm is single. University is about to come to an end yet none of us is in a relations.h.i.+p. Now that you finally have something going on, you have to tell us in detail.” The three made a fuss. 

s.h.i.+ Lei covered his head with the blanket but he could not resist them working together. He sat up helplessly and called: “If you can let me sleep for two hours, I’ll treat you guys dinner!” 

The three of them exchanged glances again and devious smiles on their faces. They opened their mouths together in synergy: “Bar after dinner and continue from last night!” 

s.h.i.+ Lei only wanted to have a good sleep. Plus, after selling the laptop, he only gave Sun Yiyi 60,000 yuan and still had over 10,000 yuan on him so naturally, he did not care about spending more money. 

“Fine, I’m begging you, just let me sleep for a bit!” 

The three of them finally left and s.h.i.+ Lei fell asleep. 

When he woke up, it was already past seven. s.h.i.+ Lei looked at the time and was surprised that Zhang Mo and the others did not wake him up. 

“It’s already seven, why didn’t you wake me up?”

“You were sleeping too soundly so we didn’t want to wake you up. We don’t really care about dinner, and it’s a bit too early to go to the bar right now.” 

s.h.i.+ Lei swore and stuck up his middle finger at them. 

The four single men left the dorm together and had some random food near the school gate. Zhang Mo and the others’ interest in the bar was much greater than having dinner and they didn’t rip s.h.i.+ Lei off for food. They only ordered a stir-fried chicken and a few bowls of noodles. After that, they were making a big fuss while going to the bar. 

It was the same bar as last night. The waiter saw that they seemed a bit familiar, he remembered that they were the four from last night, and hurried up and led them to the room again. 

The traffic lights had sharp eyes and saw s.h.i.+ Lei. Without knowing why, ever since that time, they were rather scared of s.h.i.+ Lei. Although they did not want to come in contact with s.h.i.+ Lei, but since they saw him, they braced themselves to toast to s.h.i.+ Lei. They even called the waiter and gave them a discount.  

Zhang Mo and the others were rather curious. Initially, they saw three flashy guys come over and thought they were picking a fight, but they did not think that they came over to toast and give them a discount. 

s.h.i.+ Lei could only make up a story: “Do you think everyone’s blind like you? We’ve been in the same dorm for three years and none of you realised that I’m a fuerdai with no parallel. This is because my presence is too dazzling that it cannot be hidden anymore. I can’t control it but my imperial presence overflew and even the gangsters are serving at my feet……” 

To this, Zhang Mo and the others could only respond to this with three middle fingers, and said a four-letter english word together to express their anger. 

The music was quick-tempoed. The three guys had already found their target and whether they were slim or fat, all swung their hips as they moved onto the dance floor hitting up on the girls. s.h.i.+ Lei looked at Zhang Mo, who weighed more than 100kg, thinking that although this fatty always pants after a few steps, but he did have a distinctive style when he danced. 

Whilst s.h.i.+ Lei was drinking wine and eating fruit, once again, he saw another silhouette who seemed familiar just like last night. 

As he had the experience of running upstairs but unable to find the person and encountered Sun Yiyi, he knew that it won’t happen again today so he did not bother chasing this time. 

After a moment of pondering, s.h.i.+ Lei waved towards red light, who was drinking and smoking at the same time. 

Red light was shocked as he saw that. He stared at s.h.i.+ Lei in disbelief, pointed at himself, meaning, you want to see me? 

s.h.i.+ Lei nodded. Red light hesitated for a second but walked over. 

“Bro, what’s the matter?” Red light asked politely. 

s.h.i.+ Lei picked up the cigarette on the table and pa.s.sed him one. Feeling flattered, red light accepted and said: “That’s good quality cigarette, Jiu Wu Zhi Zun(2), one case is 110 yuan!” 

s.h.i.+ Lei threw the entire case of cigar to him and said: “I need to ask you something!” 

Red light pocketed the cigarette in delight, patted his chest and said: “Ask me anything, I promise I’ll tell you if it’s something I know. Do you have your eyes on some girl? I can call her over for you?” 

“It’s actually about a girl. The one who just went upstairs with highlights of different colours in her hair, about…… Hmm, around the same height as you, a rather thin girl. I saw her last night too, she should be a frequent visitor here……” 

Red light recalled with a frown, then slapped his thigh and said: “Bro, the person you are talking about is Er’jie, right?!” 

s.h.i.+ Lei was on the verge of breakdown. It was really her, and this girl wasn’t only called ‘Er’jie’ on WeChat, but they all called her that outside too! 

“Yeah, that’s her.” 

“What about it? Bro is interested in her? It isn’t easy to hook up with that girl. Last time, I had a bro who fell for her, but she kicked him in the b.a.l.l.s and almost made him disabled. It even involved the police. Her family has a law firm and was close with the police. In the end, that bro almost became a eunuch and was even kept in the police’s custody for 15 days for public hara.s.sment.” 

s.h.i.+ Lei was shocked after listening to this and thought that Zhang Liangliang was an odd girl. Although she was rather rebellious, but she could at least distinguish what she can do and what she cannot. 

“I know her.” s.h.i.+ Lei explained and continued to ask: “To be precise, I know her family. I saw her yesterday and thought it was only my imagination, but I ended up encountering my younger sister. Does she usually hang around on the second floor?” 

“Er’jie is rich, although not like those women…...” Red light pointed towards the girls in rather exposed clothing, hinting that he was looking down on them, “But she’s willing to treat others and she has a gang of bros with her. I wanted to go and join the fun but she rejected me because she said I’m ugly!”
