Chapter 53: Saving the Third Fatty

  "What's the hurry to knock on the door? You're going blind!" Zhang Wei said as she walked up, fumbling for her keys and opening the door. After pushing it open a small crack, she quickly slipped inside, afraid that the spring light in their dorm room would leak out again. After closing the door, you could clearly hear some small commotion coming from inside, but after a moment, everything returned to quiet. Zhang Wei opened the door and walked back out.

  "You could say she doesn't want to see you." Zhang Wei said helplessly to me.

  "Tell her I have something to say to her." I said with some excitement.

  "She said there's nothing more to say to you. And if you try to force your way in with those thug-like methods, she'll yell for the auntie downstairs!"

  "Qin Kaiyi! Come out and listen to me make things clear! Don't be so ambiguous!!" I shouted loudly while banging on the door.

  "Kang Jian! You're crazy! Your big fuss has let the whole world know! Go back first! But you also know that stubborn temper of yours. Maybe it'll be fine in a few days!" Zhang Wei pushed me while hinting at me with her eyes, so I turned my head to look around and found many girls standing in the corridor staring at me, due to the public figure effect, among whom were people who knew me, so I calmed down my excited emotions.

  "You go back first! I think Ke Yi is still in a bad mood, I'll help you coax her, and you can come find her again in two days!" Zhang Wei said to me after seeing that I had regained my composure, just as the phone suddenly rang.

  "Hey! Kang Jian! Where are you?" The voice of San Bao Zi came from the phone.

  "It should be in the dormitory!"

  "Alright! Come quickly to Sanpin Checkpoint at the train station, I'm being held up here!" San Baozi said anxiously over the phone.

  "What are you doing at the three-product inspection station?"

  "Don't worry about it for now, it's hard to explain! Hurry up and come over! Oh, don't forget to bring 200 yuan!" San Baozi said before hastily hanging up the phone. So I quickly told Zhang Wei a few words and then took a taxi to rush to the train station.

  When I arrived at the Sanpin checkpoint, San Baozi and a boy were sitting in a room laughing and chatting. Seeing my arrival was like the villagers welcoming the Red Army, and after their excitement, they told me about his experience at Harbin Station this time.

  After a period of weight loss efforts, San Pangzi finally saw some results and proudly announced in the dormitory that from now on, he would thoroughly get rid of his nickname "San Pangzi" and throw it into the Pacific Ocean. However, San Pangzi's emotional attachment was still not effectively resolved. After painful reflection with Lao Er, they both believed that the reason for this was that they had not established a good view of love, which led to today's situation. Under Lao Er's persuasion, San Pangzi borrowed my old laptop and the pornographic videos I had accumulated over the years. Lao Er's reasoning was to let San Pangzi learn from the primitive way of loving --- starting from scratch, then gradually transitioning to modern fashionable views on love. He repeatedly claimed that borrowing these things was purely for learning purposes, without any emotional involvement. When San Pangzi went back home this week, he didn't forget to bring the pornographic videos back to his beloved hometown.

  It's possible that the relevant departments have realized the serious problems with the quality of pirated DVDs circulating on the market recently, and so they started to crack down heavily on the channels for spreading pirated DVDs, and San Bao Zi was unfortunately caught.

  When Daisuke Sanpei handed over the fine to the prosecutor, I could clearly hear my heart crying. It wasn't that I felt sorry for Daisuke Sanpei's fine, but rather that I felt sorry for the classic pubic hair that I had accumulated over the years being paid out like this.

  "College students should have the appearance of college students, watching these obscene and pornographic things every day, how can they have the energy to study!" The stationmaster at the checkpoint not only took the money I handed over but also didn't forget to kick a man who was already down.

  I often ask myself, a person can have the right to scold others, can have the right to be fat, can have the right to look ugly, why not have the right to watch porn? When this webmaster, who is already a father, learned that now in all Chinese universities, including Tsinghua and Peking University, porn has become an indispensable element of life for male students, what would he think. I don't despise those who don't watch or look at porn, I despise those who say "vulgar" and "obscene" but enjoy watching it (most of these people are female). While we criticize the negative impact of porn, we should also affirm its positive side - it's the timely appearance, the hard work of actors and staff behind the scenes that filled a field that China's education system has long been ashamed to touch but is very meaningful - sex education. It allowed me to learn essential knowledge that I couldn't learn in school while appreciating it. Also, because of porn and some foreign sex magazines, I learned that ** (a physical exercise beneficial for the body and preventing premature ejaculation) is not as harmful as middle school textbooks say, and many Chinese men avoided developmental problems due to the misinformation in textbooks. I don't know if the educators who compiled these textbooks are ignorant or shameless, I'd rather believe they're ignorant.

  "Hey, buddy! Don't you have any more money? Lend me 100 and get this guy out too, he doesn't have much cash on him either!" San Baozi fully demonstrated the friendship of the class, saying to me. After completing the fine and procedures, the three of us walked out of the checkpoint.

  "Thanks, buddy! Let's grab a drink together sometime!" The guy said with a flourish as he walked out of the checkpoint, shaking my hand.

  "No big deal! By the way, which school are you from? Why were you also detained?" I asked curiously.

  "I'm a science student! I was stopped just because I brought a few copies of 'xxx Girl'!"

  "Is that so! You're really unlucky!" I sympathetically said to him, in my memory, this was a very popular comic book when I was in high school, and apart from several naked girls dancing, there were no other explicit scenes.

  "By the way, I forgot to ask which school you guys are from! If it's on the way, let's take a taxi back together!"

  "We are from Hainan."

  "Hah? Never heard of it!" To this kind of reaction that we're used to, San Baozi and I can face it very calmly, and are even grateful that he didn't take another step and ask "Which college in Harbin?" like many others do.

  "Dude! You're a freshman, right?"

  "How did you know?!" The boy asked in a surprised tone.

  "Because of your school, almost all male students above sophomore year know our school!"

  "Huh? Why?" The boy asked curiously.

  "This is determined by the environment of your own campus. It's normal for freshmen not to have heard of our school, but after you've searched hard for girls on campus and gained little, you'll naturally expand your search scope, choose to rush out of campus, and go to other schools. During this time, you'll discover a girl like Yun, named Hua Yuan, from a school not too far from yours."

  "Really? Fake?" a male voice asked in a suspicious tone.

  "Many people in your school have solved their single problem in our school, and also because of the arrival of surplus boys from your school, they have well solved some social contradictions brought by surplus girls in our school. If you don't believe me, you can ask your senior brother."

  "Oh! Is that so? Then we must keep in touch often!" The boy said excitedly, grasping my hand as if he had found his organization like an underground party.

  "It's okay, we've got it covered." San Pangzi said with full confidence, making me wonder if he had already solved his own problem, why was he so confident.

  On the way back by car, San Baozi and that man talked endlessly about their respective "study" results over the past few days, while I stared blankly at the scenery outside the window, thinking constantly of Qin Ke Yi.

  "Hey! Your phone is ringing!" San Baozi nudged me, pulling me out of my daze. I snapped back to attention and picked up the phone.

  "Hey! Kang Jian! There's a dance party on Thursday, are you going?" Zhang Wei's voice came from the phone.

  "Dance party!? What dance party? Not going! You also know that I, who have always been low-key, rarely show up in such occasions!"

  "Don't blame me for not reminding you! This is a dance party organized by our department, but you can go when the time comes!"
