Chapter 236: Chapter 237: Zhang Dagou
“This…” Xiao Han was dumbfounded and said awkwardly, “Senior, I… I’ve just arrived at school and am not familiar with the surroundings yet. How about… you decide!”
“Alright!” Li Ruobing nodded and said, “How about tonight? Let’s go to Yujian Restaurant at the school entrance.”
“Sure!” Xiao Han immediately agreed upon hearing this.
It just so happened that he wanted to have a general understanding of the surroundings and then try to see if he could open a branch of Hanmen Restaurant nearby. If the environment was suitable and the place was popular, then it would indeed be worth a try.
“Then it’s settled!” Li Ruobing looked at Xiao Han with delight.
“Hmm!” Xiao Han nodded.
Li Ruobing left happily, and Xiao Han turned around to head back to the dormitory.
Liu Bin, this guy, was lying on the mat topless, leaning against a pillow, with his legs crossed and was hungrily devouring a novel. He seemed to be really into it. Seeing Xiao Han return, he curiously asked, “Eh, you’re back already?”
“Where else should I go?” Xiao Han asked curiously.
“Hehe…” Liu Bin grinned and said, “Weren’t you supposed to be going on a date with Li Ruobing?”
“Date?” Xiao Han was startled and said awkwardly, “I’m not that familiar with her, we just met today.”
Liu Bin stared at Xiao Han in disbelief and said, “Men only use that kind of reason and excuse with ugly women. Li Ruobing is the ‘flower’ of the Foreign Languages Department. You wouldn’t be that averse to her, would you?”
“What are you even talking about?” Xiao Han said, deadpan, then continued, “I just met Li Ruobing today. Even if I liked her, it wouldn’t mean we’d start dating right away, would it?”
“Hehe, you should strike while the iron is hot,” Liu Bin said, a sly smile curving up his mouth.
“Haha…” Xiao Han laughed but did not continue the conversation.
Seeing that Xiao Han was not talking, Liu Bin also chose not to continue and instead wrapped himself up with the novel once again.
Before long, a brawny man who stood at 1.9 meters tall entered, wearing a straw hat on his head with a dark complexion, carrying a camouflage woven bag. He held some cotton and toiletries in his hands, looking like he was covered with various items all over.
Whoosh…
Liu Bin quickly climbed up from the bed, alarmed by the sudden entrance of a brawny man with a face full of fierce muscles. For someone as skinny as him that would definitely be scary. There had been some terrifying attacks on campuses recently, where dormitories were annihilated in incidents. It would make anyone panic.
Xiao Han looked at the newcomer curiously and asked, “Excuse me, you are…?”
“I’m Zhang Dagou,” the sturdy man grinned at Xiao Han, revealing a row of white, even teeth. He wiped the sweat with the towel hanging around his neck and said, “I’m from Yantai, Shandong. Physical Education Department.”
“Hello.” Xiao Han approached and said, “My name is Xiao Han, this is our roommate Liu Bin, welcome to Dormitory 101.”
“Hehe, thanks!” Zhang Dagou chuckled.
Just as the words fell, a girl’s voice resounded from outside, “Zhang Dagou, you bastard, don’t think I wouldn’t dare to come in just because you’re hiding inside.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dagou’s face instantly darkened.
“What… what’s this about?” Xiao Han asked, puzzled.
“Nothing… nothing,” Zhang Dagou hurriedly shook his head, then said, “Just… just some crazy woman ranting outside.”
“Seems like she’s calling for you!” Liu Bin said quickly.
“Ignore her,” Zhang Dagou shook his head and said, “It’s just 200 yuan I owe her, and she chased me all the way to the school.”
Snicker…
Liu Bin immediately burst into laughter, promptly asking, “You owe someone 200 yuan? And she chased you all the way here from Yantai, Shandong?”
“I…” Zhang Dagou himself seemed a bit embarrassed. Blushing, he nodded and said, “Yes, that’s exactly what happened!”
“Zhang Dagou, come out here!” the voice outside continued, saying, “After taking advantage of me, did you think it would be that easy to get rid of me?”
The moment these words were heard, the whole dormitory building was shocked, and all the students residing within came out of their rooms, curious to see the girl downstairs. She was wearing a floral dress, had a shapely figure, a typical tall girl from Shandong, with a slightly plump face and not bad features. Although she wasn’t a top-grade girl, she could still be considered a pretty girl.
“Uh…” Liu Bin was stunned, “Big guy Dagou, you… you took advantage of her?”
“I…” Despite Zhang Dagou’s burly appearance and rough features, at that moment, he was flustered, “All I did was drink a little at the graduation party and then… then…”
He never did say it out loud.
Liu Bin had a sudden realization and said, “I get it now, at graduation when you were drunk, did you just… with the girl? Hehe… Now she’s followed you to Shuimu University, you’re done for.”
“No, no…” Zhang Dagou panicked, his face as red as purple, his dark skin flushed to a hue like soy sauce. He quickly said, “Don’t talk nonsense… I myself don’t even know if it happened or not, all I know is that I woke up the next day naked, I…”
“Damn, if that didn’t happen, what does happen?” Liu Bin urgently said, “I’m telling you, Zhang Dagou, you have to take responsibility for the girl!”
“But, I wasn’t mentally prepared!” Zhang Dagou said urgently, “I… I came here to study, not to pursue love, and I still want to take the postgraduate entrance exam.”
“You’re a PE major, what grad school are you thinking about?” Liu Bin replied irritably, “Hurry up and go explain things to the girl.”
“How should I explain?” Zhang Dagou said anxiously.
“This…” Liu Bin hesitated for a moment, “Let me ask you, do you like her?”
“Like her!” Zhang Dagou nodded eagerly.
“Well then, that’s settled,” Liu Bin replied irritably, “Since you like her, just tell her that you’ll marry her.”
“But…” Zhang Dagou was embarrassed, “But she insists that I be with her right now. This… this is like wasting her precious youth.”
“That’s pretty good too,” Liu Bin said urgently, “if you don’t have a romance in university, then it’s like you never went to college. So, with a girl knocking on your door, you’d better just agree to it. With your looks, your chances… actively pursuing a girl will be rather troublesome.”
“Zhang Dagou, come out here right now, or I’m coming in,” the girl shouted loudly from outside.
“Dagou, if you like her, go and make it clear, don’t let her feel cold,” Xiao Han advised, “If you don’t like her, then I’ll go and make it clear for you, to cut it off once and for all, to save you the hassle.”
Zhang Dagou hesitated for a moment, finally nodded: “Alright, then I’ll go and make things clear.”
Afterward, Zhang Dagou walked out.
The girl in the floral dress had been staring at the dorm the whole time, and when she saw Zhang Dagou coming out, her eyes lit up. She was dying to rush into the gate. Zhang Dagou hurried out of the gate. The girl in the floral dress said hastily, “Zhang Dagou, you finally decided to come out. Today, I must make things clear with you, whether you want me or not!”
Ha ha…
In the dormitory building, five stories high, more than a hundred people were watching.
“Together, together, together!”
Many people started shouting, and soon, a hundred people joined in the chant, creating a huge wave of noise. Although Zhang Dagou was big and burly, he was shy at heart. Faced with such a loud outcry, he shrank back, too intimidated to speak.
“Enough, all of you shut up!” The girl suddenly shouted at the people upstairs.
The previously boisterous scene quieted down in an instant.
Zhang Dagou’s face turned bright red as he said, “Xiao Mei, I…”
“What ‘I’? Are you a man or not!” Zhang Xiaomei clenched her fists tightly, and although she was a forthright girl, when it came to love, every girl was very shy and reserved. Knowing this, and if she didn’t take the initiative today, she might regret it for the rest of her life. She had shared a class with Zhang Dagou for three years and clearly understood what kind of person he was. It was precisely because of this that Zhang Xiaomei liked Zhang Dagou. Zhang Xiaomei said through gritted teeth, “If you are a man, then just quickly give me an answer. If you don’t like me, I’ll turn around and leave right now and go back to my own school.”
“Xiao Mei, I…” Zhang Dagou, face red, stammered for a long time, awkwardly saying, “Could we not discuss this in front of so many people, we…”
“No way!” Zhang Xiaomei said firmly, biting her teeth as if angry at his indecisiveness. She continued, “Can’t you be a bit more spirited? Just make it clear in front of everyone, so I also know what kind of person I am to you!”
“Alright, I’ll say it!” Zhang Dagou nodded and then said, “I… I like you. But, I… I want to focus on my university studies, I’m planning on taking the postgraduate entrance exam. Later on, I want to find a high-paying job. Otherwise, my mom’s illness… I want to lighten the load on my family.”
“I…” Zhang Xiaomei listened and said, “Being with me means you can’t take the grad school exam?”
“Dating wouldn’t distract you from studying?” Zhang Dagou said awkwardly.
“Of course not!” Zhang Xiaomei snorted lightly and said, “Don’t worry, I promise that I will only come to see you on weekends. I definitely won’t disturb your studies during the week, okay?”
“Really?” Zhang Dagou looked at her curiously.
“Of course, it’s true!” Zhang Xiaomei nodded and asked, “So with that said, do you still want me?”
“Want, want, I’m really into you,” Zhang Dagou grinned as he scratched his head, without giving any concrete response.
Ha ha…
There was a burst of laughter from the building. Zhang Dagou grew even more embarrassed, his head almost drooping to the ground.
