"Damn it!"
Jin Xing was speechless for a moment, then glanced at Chen Chu, grinned, and said, "Brother, are you sure you can handle it! You want both? Okay, then let's do it this way. Let's go drink first, then go have some fun. I'll slip some drugs into the karaoke bar, then we'll go down to a hotel. You're going to have a King and two Twos today, let's see if these two are virgins..."
Chen Chu felt dizzy, thinking that Jin Xing might do this all the time, otherwise he wouldn't be so skilled at it. If Liu He or Fang Yangyang were to be treated so roughly by him, there would really be nothing they could do but suffer the consequences. If this got out, they really wouldn't be able to live in the countryside, and their lives would be tainted.
"Brother Jin, let's talk about it later!" Chen Chu was still a little timid. After all, he usually did it secretly, and he had never done it like this before, so he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Jin Xing curled her lip and said, "Damn, all that lewdness makes you cowardly. Ji Yang is bold, but he's a damn hypocrite now..."
At this moment, Ma Huaqiang and his gang arrived. Ma Huaqiang was wearing a red suit, a tie, red pants, and damn red leather shoes.
Behind him followed Huang Mao, Duan Hongxing, Huang Pizi, and Xiao Zhi, and behind them was a little guy who was almost 1.8 meters tall, with sword-like eyebrows and big eyes, a cold face, a grayish complexion, a short buzz cut, and clothes that were also gray and ill-fitting.
This person gives off a somewhat repressive first impression, with a rather unfocused gaze.
"Damn! Ma Huaqiang, you've come at just the right time. I was just about to go for a drink, come on over. Damn, you're even wearing a red outfit, are you getting married or something?" Jin Xing patted Ma Huaqiang on the shoulder with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Hehe, Brother Jin, why would I get married? Hehe, everyone says I look good in red!" Ma Huaqiang said, taking out a pair of black sunglasses from his suit jacket pocket and putting them on. With the round lenses on, he looked just like a traitor.
Jin Xing and Chen Chu both chuckled. Ma Huaqiang quickly said, "Oh, Brother Chu is here too. Let me introduce you. This is my brother, Cao Yunfei... just, just got back."
Jin Xing glanced at Cao Yunfei and said, "Get the hell out of here!"
Everyone was stunned. Cao Yunfei stared wide-eyed. Jin Xing came over and tried to kick Cao Yunfei in the stomach, but only kicked his clothes.
Ma Huaqiang and others quickly intervened, asking, "What happened to Brother Jin?"
At that moment, a man from the inner room rushed out carrying a machete and cursed, "Fuck you, Cao Yunfei, you still recognize me, you son of a bitch!"
After everyone pulled Xiao Wu aside and made a ruckus for a while, they learned that Cao Yunfei had beaten Xiao Wu three years ago, and later stabbed someone and went to jail. He spent three years in a juvenile detention center and is now eighteen years old. However, he looks mature and is calm, like a strong man in his mid-twenties.
Cao Yunfei was kicked twice, but he brushed the dust off his legs without showing any expression. At this moment, Ji Yang, who was playing ball on the side, also came over.
Ji Yang is 1.85 meters tall, a bit taller than Cao Yunfei, but he looks rather thin.
As soon as Ji Yang arrived, everyone dispersed. Ma Huaqiang stammered, "Brother Ji, I... I didn't know he had a grudge against Brother Jin..."
Ji Yang waved his hand, took a puff of his cigarette, and said, "Cao Yunfei, right?"
"Hmm, hello Brother Ji..." Cao Yunfei said, his head drooping.
Jin Xing was about to rush over again, but the two of them grabbed him. Jin Xing cursed, "Look at his damn behavior!"
Ji Yang waved his hand, and Jin Xing stopped. Although Jin Xing sometimes said bad things about Ji Yang, he would support whatever Ji Yang said at times like this and would listen to him.
"Cao Yunfei, since you're here today, you've come with sincerity. I know a bit about what happened before. You broke several of Xiao Wu's ribs, damn it, that was pretty brutal! Later, I didn't see you, and when I finally found out, you'd gotten yourself into trouble again, Cao Yunfei! I don't care if you're a dragon or a tiger, in front of me, Ji Yang, even if you're a dragon, you have to coil up for me; even if you're a tiger, you have to lie down for me. If you're a wolf, I'll eat meat and you can only watch! Understand…"
Ji Yang stared intently at him, his shirt unbuttoned at the top, revealing his bulging muscles. He flicked away his cigarette, put his hands in his pockets, and his casual demeanor silenced the entire billiard hall.
Cao Yunfei grunted, "Brother Ji, I understand. I apologize. It was my fault. I'll stick with the brothers from now on..."
"Alright!" Ji Yang waved his hand. "Let's give Brother Chu some face today, after all, Chen Chu is Ma Huaqiang's boss. I'm not in this game anymore, and I don't want to be anymore. If I were still a gangster, Cao Yunfei, I'd stab you right now! Damn it..."
Ji Yang shook his head, and Xiao Wu and Jin Xing put away their equipment. Everyone continued playing ball, and Ma Huaqiang and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Ma Huaqiang then introduced Cao Yunfei to Chen Chu. Cao Yunfei gave Chen Chu a rare smile and said that he would follow him from now on.
Chen Chu chuckled and said, "I'm a student, and I don't want to mess around. It's nice to eat, drink, and have fun together. That's how I'll do it."
Chen Chu's first impression of Cao Yunfei was that he was similar to Yan San, both having come from prison. One was a masked bandit, and the other was a thug who chopped people up. They were both desperate criminals. Damn, why were his eyes so cold?
Chen Chu let out a breath and went outside to urinate. He heard Ma Huaqiang talking to Cao Yunfei while smoking behind the house.
"Brother Cao, Brother Chu is a good man. He has taken matters into his own hands many times and made the brothers do it instead. I admire him. I don't care whether you admire him or not, but giving Brother Chu face is giving me face."
"Hmm..." Cao Yunfei grunted, then said, "Chen Chu is alright, I think he's quite decent. It's just that Ji Yang, he's nobody..."
Ma Huaqiang was startled and quickly said, "Alright, stop talking nonsense. We're all brothers, let's not fight amongst ourselves..."
...
"Damn it..." Chen Chu exhaled, thinking to himself that this kid was really underhanded, saying one thing to your face and another behind your back. He should warn Jin Xing and Ji Yang to be careful of this kid.
As soon as he entered the house, Jin Xing took a swig of beer, looking dejected. Then he called Chen Chu into the small room and said with a grin, "Brother Chu, I just talked to them, and Xiao Wu also spoke up for you. That... that Fang Yangyang seems to have a thing for you! He said you're not simple at all. You even took down the director of the Education Bureau today. Did that director give you a business card and ask you to go to a key high school in Chuncheng? Wow! That's awesome!"
Chen Chu chuckled: "Brother Jin, it's nothing. By the way, how did Fang Yangyang find out?"
"Damn! What a trivial matter? The whole school knows about it, saying you managed to shut up the old experts with your couplet. Impressive, brother, you're a talent. I didn't realize you were so good with women, and a potential university student!"
...
As the two were talking, Chen Chu saw through the somewhat blurry glass window that Liu He and Fang Yangyang were standing in the hall outside, their four long white legs crossed, still watching Ji Yang play ball.
Fang Yangyang looked up at him, as if she really had a crush on him. Chen Chu couldn't help but recall the time a few days ago when this girl called him a country bumpkin. She meant the same thing as Zhu Na: even if all the men in the world died, she would never like him.
It's only been a few days, and everything has changed. It seems you really can't trust women's words, and they're very materialistic, only seeing immediate gains...
The deputy director of the Education Bureau gave him special treatment, allowing him to directly enter the key high school in Chuncheng. This was unprecedented, not to mention the entire town's middle school, even the No. 3 Middle School. Chen Chu thought to himself, "Are all these little girls in the town's middle school dreaming of such things?"
And do those girls from No. 3 Middle School have a thing for me too? Damn! Can I go and harvest all those rows of big, white asses?! Spread their legs wide, pry open their fiery red bottoms, and let me fuck them? Damn! Being famous is fucking great…
Chen Chu chuckled, then asked, "Brother Jin, um..."
"You mean your classmate Liu He? I guess you have no chance. Xiao Wu introduced you to someone, saying you're interested in her, but this girl just said she's not interested in you and directly said that the person she likes is Ji Yang..."
Chen Chu nodded, let out a breath, and thought that if all else failed, he would give up on Liu He. Although he was itching to get closer to her, she liked Ji Yang, who was also his brother. It wouldn't be good to do this. Besides, Old Man Zhang said that this girl was a jinx to her husbands, and any man who was with her would be unlucky. However, Chen Chu didn't believe in this and just took it as a consolation.
"By the way, Brother Chu, from now on you can keep in touch with Ma Huaqiang and the others, but don't associate with Cao Yunfei. That damn kid is a wolf!"
Chen Chu nodded, wanting to tell Jin Xing what Cao Yunfei had just said, but then thought better of it. With Jin Xing's temper, if he told her, she would just come over and beat him up.
At this moment, Ji Yang finished his shot and called to Jin Xing to go eat and drink.
Jin Xing rushed out to find a car, and Ma Huaqiang said that he had a van at home that could seat several people, and Jin Xing also had a van, so that would be enough.
When Wang Wei saw that these people were going to eat and drink, he shrank back in fear, not wanting to go. Chen Chu kicked him in the butt and said, "Whatever! Even Liu He, a girl, didn't say she wasn't going. Go if you want, don't go if you don't!"
"You're treating? How much money do you have?"
Wang Wei pulled out two crumpled hundred-yuan bills from his pocket. Chen Chu was taken aback, thinking that this guy really had some money. He used to not even have ten-yuan bills in his pocket.
Chen Chu chuckled and said, "You should keep it! These people's food, drinks, and entertainment will probably cost at least six or seven hundred each. Your little bit won't be enough..."
Ma Huaqiang also tried to host a dinner party, but Jin Xing and Ji Yang both knew that this guy didn't have much money, and who knew how long he had saved up those five or six hundred yuan in his pocket.
In the end, Jin Xing waved her hand and said, "Yang Zi, don't argue anymore. Here, you can't possibly treat me to a meal..."
Jin Xing's business has been doing well lately, and he's made some money. However, the good business is mainly due to Ji Yang. These guys only come to play for him because of Ji Yang's reputation.
As everyone was leaving, Jin Xing whispered in Chen Chu's ear, "Give Ji Yang 10,000 of the 50,000 yuan he asked Shao Xiaodong for last time. Keep 20,000 for himself. He felt a little embarrassed to take the 10,000 yuan, so he's treating everyone this time..."
When everyone got on the bus, Jin Xing deliberately seated Chen Chu and Fang Yangyang together. With so many people and limited space, Jin Xing chuckled and said, "Yangyang, why don't you just sit on Brother Chu's lap? He's a college prospect, and he's doing pretty well in Xiaoyangshu Village. You can sit on his lap and see how hard he really is..."
