Chapter 42 It Was So Awkward

“Yiyi, you don’t look happy since yesterday. What happened?” Yun Wang asked concernedly. “My sister had a relapse yesterday and then we met two scummy people. My mood was totally ruined. But you know what is the consequence of pissing me off. I think they are in jail now.” Yiyi said. “What? In jail?” Her friends’ curiosity was aroused. “What happened? Tell us.” They love to listen to this kind of stories. “Yesterday was a bad day. When my sister had relapse, my mom called an ambulance immediately. Then, out of nowhere, an old man appeared. He said he is a doctor and he can cure my sister’s disease. How ridiculous is that! My sister’s disease wasn’t even cured when we sent her to a hospital in America, and how could he, a self-claimed doctor who doesn’t even have work permit, could cure the disease? We knew he is a fraud and we gave him some money, but he didn’t take it.” Yiyi laughed. “What happened then?” “Then his accomplice arrived, who is a young man and quite good-looking, but he also claimed that he can cure my sister. Of course we wouldn’t let them touch my sister. But then, my sister’s condition deteriorated, and my mom was so anxious that she said if anyone could help my sister, she would award him with ten thousand dollars. The moment she finished, these two jerks began pricking my sister with a needle, without even trying to figure out what was wrong with my sister. I was so frightened. It was lucky that my sister was alright in the end, or I will have to destroy these two jerks!” “How did they go to jail?” Yun Wang asked. “They should never mess with my family. My uncle is the director of Health Department. They have no work permits, and they tried to cheat money, and they almost killed my sister. So they would spend at least three years in prison.” Yiyi said. “I never imagined this kind of people exists in Jingan District. I wonder whether your sister is gonna show some other symptoms later because of what they did?” Qianqian said fearfully. She was a girl sitting beside Yun Wang. “Who knows. She is still in hospital for physical examinations. But my mom called and said my sister is now in a stable condition. Maybe she can leave hospital in another two days.” Yiyi said. She thought the hospital should take credit for her sister’s recovery. Her mom didn’t tell her what happened later, because that was too embarrassing. “Alright, stop being mad. It’s not worth it. We will never have anything to do with this kind of person. Let’s talk about something relaxing, like what kind of boys will Jing Zhang’s boyfriend bring to this date, I mean, party. Sorry about that.” Yun Wang said smilingly. “Jing Zhang’s boyfriend is quite nice. His family is rich, and he is handsome. Most importantly, he is so tall.” Qianqian said. “I think his roommates are also good, or Jiang Zhang wouldn’t introduce them to us, right?” “They will be here soon. If these boys are good, we should be decisive and take them. We will soon graduate and we don’t have much time left. We can’t set our standard so high all the time.” Yun Wang said. Soon, the boys they were waiting for arrived. Victor went to the bathroom, and Jing Zhang took the other three boys to her friends. She first introduced the boys to her friends, and then she walked to Yiyi and began introducing the girls. “These are all my good friends. This is Yiyi, the most beautiful girl in the first class of Art School. This is Qianqian, and this is Yun Wang. They are all beautiful girls.” Jing Zhang then noticed her friends showed no interest in Kai Lin and Xiaojin. They were obviously very disappointed. Look at them, One was dressed in a sportswear for an occasion like this, as if he was demonstrating that it is his only cloth. And the other was dressed in a suit like a manger, but he stilled looked like a loser from head to toe. “Oh, I noticed you were talking about something. What was it?” Gu Li tried to start a conversation when he noticed everyone lapsed into awkward silence. He felt terrible that his roommates were looked down upon . He is the oldest one in the dorm and he felt he had the responsibility to protect his brothers’ ego. As the ones who started this party, he and Jing Zhang should take the responsibility to keep the atmosphere lively. “Oh, Yiyi was talking about the two frauds she met yesterday. But now they are in prison.” Yun Wang then retold that story and everyone laughed. “There are so many kinds of people in this society. How poor do they need to be to do something like this?” Kai Lin said. They talked about it for a while. Then Gu Li began arranging the seats. She put Kai Lin beside Qianqian, and Xiaojin beside Yun Wang. And the seat beside Yiyi was saved for Victor. Whatever the outcome would be, He, as a roommate, had indeed tried his best. He couldn’t possibly share his family’s wealth with them so that they can also be rich. He is not that unselfish. But for Kai Lin and Xiaojin, that was a very good opportunity and they appreciated it a lot. But it was the first time they were with beautiful girls, so they were very nervous and awkward. They just laughed dryly, for they couldn’t think of anything to say. Yiyi got impatient. She asked Gu Li: “Didn’t you tell me there is a loyal lover in your dorm? Where is he? He doesn’t want to know me?” “Of course he wants to know you. Victor is in the bathroom. He will be here soon.” Soon, Victor walked out of the bathroom, dried his hands, and walked towards them. But he stopped walking after taking only one step, because he noticed Yiyi, who was only a few meters away from him, and obviously Yiyi also noticed him. They looked at each other. Then Yiyi burst into laughter. She pointed at Victor and asked Gu Li: “So, this is the man you want me to know?”
