Chapter 49: A Declaration of Love That's Beyond Laughter and Tears (2)

  Wang Hua Ting was stunned, foolish and dazed, staring at Lei Da Peng with a dumbfounded expression, this time it's really gone too far.

  Lei Ge was probably 100% convinced that the tall, handsome and talented class leader was his love rival. The girl he had a crush on had been hiding it from him for so long, making him feel both regretful and nostalgic, and even with great tolerance, there was a hint of resentment.

  After a long silence, Lei Ge couldn't hold it in anymore and said directly: "You're wondering how I knew, right? I stole his diary and read it. His diary said that he was tossing and turning, thinking of you until he was...until he was confused about what's real and what's not? No, this phrase doesn't sound quite right."

  "You're out of your mind, you idiot." Wang Huating's tone was displeased.

  "Really, your soul is upside down, huh? You know that?" Lei Dapeng said in surprise. Wang Huating was about to storm off with a huff, her explanation unexplainable. This sulky appearance made it seem like she was angry at being exposed, and she retorted:

  "He said you're the violet in his dreams, didn't you tell him your ideal is to become a female diplomat? So you worked hard learning foreign languages, and he followed suit, even translating half of 'Jaws' together... He said he asked you out to our school's Thinker Square that day, and was so excited he couldn't sleep all night... What the heck? Every day eating plain rice balls with salted vegetables in the cafeteria, too stingy to eat 8-yuan meat dishes, can't even fill his pockets with 10 yuan, yet he's trying to pick up chicks, and it's even the chick I like..."

  Lei Da Peng was furious, scolding himself for his views on the class monitor, which were unexpectedly discovered by the four people sleeping in one room. This secret could be considered the longest-kept secret he had ever kept. Since discovering this secret, he knew that his nature couldn't compare to this rival in love, and of course, he didn't mind ruining the class monitor's reputation with a bunch of bad words.

  But Wang Hua-ting, wanted to correct but didn't dare to correct. Wanted to interrupt, but couldn't get a word in edgewise, and could only listen with a red face and ears, then turned pale again. She had actually had some good feelings towards that rule-abiding class monitor, but the two of them were limited to interacting during study sessions and student union work, sometimes chatting about their ideals and future together. But after Le Da-peng's words, it seemed like they really did have an illicit relationship. The more she listened, the more unbearable it became, and the former proud team leader shouted:

  "Never mind."

  One sentence stopped him, and the correct name almost slipped out, but fortunately he restrained himself, turned to Lei Dapeng and scolded: "How can you be like this? Sneaking a peek at other people's privacy, how immoral?"

  "What's wrong with peeking at a diary? We've even seen the girls' dorm changing clothes." Lei Dapeng retorted, Wang Huating was so angry that she wanted to kick him. Lei Dapeng didn't know how to take care of others' emotions and added, "Really, I saw your dorm too?"

  "What? You've seen our dorm?! Wang Huating was stunned, thinking that her own dorm 105 and 222 were diagonally opposite each other, and she got a fright."

  "Ah, Egg Brother's binoculars have the highest magnification, aren't you sleeping on the upper berth? The flowers embroidered on your curtains are clearly visible to all of us." Lei Dapeng said, unable to hide a few hints of complacency.

  Since she could see the pattern on the curtains, what else could she see? Wang Huating didn't dare to ask anymore. She was furious, dizzy and stared at Lei Dapeng with anger, face to face, and spat out a sentence: "Shameless, despicable... how dare you say that."

  He turned his head and ran back to school, leaving Le Ge frustrated on the spot.

  "What's obscene about it? We guys in the dorm always have binoculars on hand."

  After a while, Lei Ge muttered to himself, really couldn't understand why he was so honest, but nobody understood him, and even treated him poorly.

  ………………

  ………………

  After a long time, Wang Huating hurried back, and Shan Yong stopped in his tracks on the playground. He didn't dare to shout or intercept her. From afar, Wang Huating also saw him, but she was still angry and didn't give him a good look. She glared at him and rushed back to the dormitory.

  Yo, stupid Lenny?

  Shan Yong was a bit worried, afraid that the goods would not open, looking like this, it's likely that they knew the truth, and hurriedly ran out of the school gate. Not far from running, at this time, the sky was still not late, but around the village, Lei Dapeng could not be found. He went back to call his superior, Mu Xian, without saying anything, and the two accompanied each other out the door to find Lei Dapeng. However, as soon as they left the door, the sky had just turned dark, and Lei Ge returned with a black face. When asked where he was going, he muttered that he went to pick apples, crunching on the green apples in his pocket, with an evil look on his face, estimated to be venting with food. He followed them back to the dormitory, and Lei Dapeng, like countless times before when he lost love, heavily threw himself onto the bed, making a loud noise, sighing and scolding his mother.

  Si Mu Xian and Shan Yong didn't dare to make a sound when they entered the door. At this time, they didn't know the truth and had no way to ask Wang Hua Ting. The two of them looked at each other, with guilty consciences, and it was better for Lei Da Peng to scold his mother so frankly. Shan Yong waited for that moment, and he had already thought of many excuses in his heart. No matter how deceitful or shameless, even if he didn't want to save face, he had to deny any connection with Wang Hua Ting.

  Two men sat on the edge of the bed, unexpectedly Leida Peng suddenly sat up like a madman, one arm around his younger brother and the other hugging Egg Brother. He sighed: "Brothers, it's still good to be brothers... Women are unreliable, but brothers are good, I've figured that out. Although my brother is ugly, he has some backbone, some pride. If she doesn't like us, we don't look up to her either... What's the big deal about a beauty? It's nonsense, nightclubs have groups of pretty girls, their worth isn't even as much as a donkey's whip."

  Si Mu Xian was shocked, Shan Yong was confused, this is indeed a lost love, but it seems to have deviated from the expected.

  "Lei Ge, you think that's right, a big man has nothing to worry about, right?" Si Mu Xian asked cautiously, glancing at Yun Yi, and then asked tactfully: "Is Zhu Shu in love with someone? Did she tell you?"

  "Don't tell me, I already know." Lei Dapeng said, his face twitching with a fierce expression, which scared Dan Yong for a moment, but unexpectedly, Lei pointed to the side of the road: "I've seen it early on, and it's just this bastard."

  Si Mu Xian was stunned, looked at Shan Yong, and hadn't reacted yet. Lei Ge scolded him for peeking at the diary, and it turned out that the class monitor had been made a scapegoat. Si Mu Xian couldn't help but burst out laughing, while Shan Yong's face turned red, but who knows how long this would go on.

  After nagging for a while, Lei Dapeng let go of the two and got up again. He found the package he brought back today, pulled out a cigarette, and handed it to Dan Yong, saying: "Look, Egg Brother, I still have something good to show you... Don't think that I've forgotten about you just because my mom scolds you. Actually, she knows we're best friends, and although she scolds you in front of others, behind your back, she says you're not bad. At least she didn't abandon me."

  He handed it over to Shanyong, but when he took a look, it turned out to be his graduation thesis. Shanyong's eyes lit up, one was "The Image of the Abnormal People in Zhuangzi and its Ideological Connotation", and the other was "The Scene Description of Fables in Zhuangzi". It seemed that he had prepared two graduation papers for Shanyong. He patted Simu Xian on the back and said: "Xian, you don't need to do it anymore, your paper is more difficult than giving birth to a child, it's been a year since you started writing!"

  Xiao Xian smiled, not arguing about this, and was actually happy to see that the three of them hadn't fallen out. But what he didn't expect was that Lei Dapeng would be so thoughtful, which moved him deeply. He felt so touched that he almost wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into... However, it only took an instant for Lei Dapeng's show-off to continue. Shan Yong flipped through the paper hastily, his eyes widening as he discovered something was off. Immediately, he furiously asked: "Dumb Lei, where did this paper come from?"

  "It's bought." Lei Da Peng said turning his head back.

  "Where did you buy it?" Dan Yong scolded.

  "What's wrong? I bought it on Taobao, 300 yuan, buy one get one free." Lei Dapeng raised his finger, thinking he had gotten a good deal, but didn't know what was wrong with it.

  Bang! The paper was thrown into Lei Dapeng's arms. Suddenly, Shan Yong pointed at him and scolded: "You fool, can't you see that the two copies are identical?"

  "It's different, I've seen it." Lei Dapeng didn't believe him.

  "Yeah, except for the title and keywords being different, everything else is the same. You're treating the teacher like an idiot," Dan Yong scolded, this guy often meant well but caused trouble, since getting to know him, he had never accomplished anything proper."

  Lei Dapeng took a closer look and indeed, from the second page onwards, it was almost identical. He got so angry that he slapped his thigh and exclaimed: "Oh no, I've been cheated! I knew it, you get what you pay for. This is terrible, even people selling essays are scammers!"

  Another heartbreak, another scam buying a paper, this depression is huge, and he's lying in bed again, kicking his legs and scolding his mother. Brother Yong comforted him that he could use it anyway, but he had to think of a way himself. However, at that time, they had to ask each other, so as not to make fools of themselves by buying the same thing twice. While comforting him, he was also encouraging Lei Ge, and at this moment, Brother Yong really looked like an older brother.

  But have to admit, brothers are sometimes more useful than women. Just as Leida Peng was comforting him, a stirring sentence came up, and Simu Xian and others hurried for a while before slowly saying: "No need, I've prepared it for you."

  "What?" Lei Dapeng sat up with a start, and Shan Yong was also shocked.

  Xian Shen smiled mysteriously, moved Lei Dapeng's laptop to the bed, and flipped through two papers that had already been formatted. One was "The Hazy Beauty of Li Shangyin's Poetry" and the other was "A Comparative Study of Plato and Confucius' Artistic Thoughts". Both Lei Dapeng and Shan Yong knew Xian Shen's handwriting, and they both fell silent, their eyes welling up with tears. Shan Yong hugged Xian Shen tightly, while Lei Dapeng wanted to kiss him, causing Xian Shen to almost jump under the bed in fright.

  "When did you start preparing for this? It's not easy to spend so much time and effort." Dan Yong flipped through it, three people's papers were all done by one person, and the topics were all different, which was naturally not a small difficulty.

  "This semester I've been preparing, you two are just eating and playing, I'm afraid that when the time comes, you'll be anxious if you can't keep up. I also wanted to stimulate you to write one yourself, but it seems like the two brothers still want to take a shortcut, then why not use what I prepared for you? At least it's original, definitely no duplicates. This thing is best not bought, selling papers to sell to new students at Lü Institute, that would be embarrassing." Si Mu Xian said, looks like he had already thought of an escape route for his brothers.

  "It's still you who have a heart, I was worried about this matter. Wrote something that even I'm not satisfied with." said Shan Yong.

  "Nima, this is what brothers are for, what was it again? Brothers are more useful than women... I want the Plato one, having a foreign name sounds cool. Hey, younger brother, you didn't get it wrong, can Plato be mentioned together with Confucius?" Lei Dapeng shouted and laughed, but then added: "Younger brother, I think Confucius and Zhuangzi are not impressive, why don't you write about Laozi and Plato having a base? The name 'Laozi' is cool."

  So, Simu Xian laughed, and Lei Dapeng knew he was laughing at himself for being uneducated and scolded Simu Xian: "You laugh, laugh your ass off, you sour goods, why didn't you say so earlier, it cost me several hundred."

  The three of them laughed, but in San Yong's laughter, apart from the relief, there was also a hint of awkwardness. The two classmates, the two brothers who had been on top and bottom bunks for so many years, always intentionally or unintentionally thinking about each other, while he himself seemed to have committed some kind of mistake, always having an inexplicable sense of guilt that couldn't be shaken off...
