Chapter Twenty-Three: A Storm
When Chen Wenhai went to the toilet to relieve his hands, he suddenly heard someone discussing:
"I heard that Chen Wenhai almost fainted just now, do you know why?"
"I don't know."
"Let me tell you, Chen Wenhai went to pester Zhang Xuemei again, was scolded by Zhang Xuemei, and slapped him twice! When the principal found out, he threatened to expel him! β
"I see!"
"It's deserved! Who called him so shameless! β
When Chen Wenhai heard this, his lungs were about to explode, "How can these people be so good at spreading rumors, this rumor is too bizarre!" β
Back in the single dormitory, Chen Wenhai said angrily to Hu Zhanyong:
"You go and call Zhang Xuemei to me, I have something to say to her!"
"Hasn't she ignored you already? What else are you looking for her for? β
"I'm going to ask her face to face: Where did those rumors come from?"
"What did you just hear again?"
"I won't tell you, I want to talk to Zhang Xuemei!" Chen Wenhai shouted loudly:
"Hu Zhanyong, go quickly! Did you hear that? β
Seeing Chen Wenhai like this, Xie Rundong couldn't help laughing.
After laughing enough, Xie Rundong said to him in a sarcastic tone:
"Chen Wenhai, do you love Zhang Xuemei and go crazy? What does Zhang Xuemei have to love? Isn't it just pretty? Is it also worth your madness for her so much? It's really not a bit of a good thing! β
"I'm just looking for her, can you handle it?"
"Then you shouldn't be so yelling! Not afraid of other people's jokes? If you continue to mess around like this, I'll send you to the police station!" β
"What? Send me to the police station! Chen Wenhai couldn't stop laughing.
Suddenly, he stopped laughing wildly, and said in a loud and righteous voice:
"Xie Rundong, and Hu Zhanyong, both of you listen to me: I love Zhang Xuemei, and Zhang Xuemei loves me, this is an ironclad fact that no one can change! If anyone dares to pour dirty water on both of us again, I will die with them! β
"I think you're really crazy!" Xie Rundong yelled at Chen Wenhai,
Then, he said to Hu Zhanyong:
"If you let him continue to make trouble like this, the impact will be too bad!"
"Who's to say it isn't!" Hu Zhanyong pointed at Chen Wenhai, adding fuel to the fire:
"It's a good thing he's not a woman, otherwise others would have thought he was a shrew!"
"You mouth squirting fellow!" Chen Wenhai was furious, "I really want to beat you up!" β
"You're going to beat me up?" Hu Zhanyong smiled, "People like you deserve to be singles for the rest of your life!" No wonder Wang Zhiyuan looks down on you, you don't have a bit of manhood! Let's tell you the truth! Wang Zhiyuan has already shaken off your old bottom, Zhang Xuemei is ashamed of herself! She said to others: She fell for you last night! She hates you for setting a trap to trap her! She's seen your rogue face now! β
Speaking of which, Wang Zhiyuan and Zhu Zhenhua came.
"You're not dead yet, are you?" Wang Zhiyuan said viciously to Chen Wenhai:
"I thought that Zhang Xuemei would ignore you anymore, you would not be able to think about it, and you would go to the rails to commit suicide!"
"He's not going to commit suicide?" Zhu Zhenhua said to Wang Zhiyuan:
"You don't know that his skin is thicker than the bark of a tree! That year, in Shanghai, you stared at him and warned him: 'If you dare to steal apples, I will make you unclosing!' He hadn't stolen the rotten apples from the fruit stand back to his house! He's just a guy who doesn't know shame! β
"Wang Zhiyuan, I don't share the sky with you!" Chen Wenhai looked up to the sky and laughed, "How can there be a bad person like you in this world?" And you-" Chen Wenhai pointed at Zhu Zhenhua angrily, "You guy who helps dogs eat!" β
"Good scolding!" Zhu Zhenhua said viciously: "Today, we all watched a free show, and no matter how much you scold, you can't save your bad reputation!" Your life is completely finished, from now on, what girl will be willing to fall in love with you? You picked up a big bargain last night, so that Zhang Xuemei, who is like a flower, fell in love with you all night! You should be content! Don't pretend to be crazy and stupid here! Do you think that if you make such a fuss, Zhang Xuemei will be afraid of you! You're going to die of this heart! Zhang Xuemei doesn't care about you making such a fuss at all! The more you make trouble, the more she looks down on you! β
"Have you said enough?" Chen Wenhai snorted from his nostrils, "I despise you!" You're going to use this kind of indiscriminate tactics to intimidate me! I wasn't intimidated by you! You said such a lot of nonsense, just to prove that you have taken down Zhang Xuemei, thinking that she will definitely go with you obediently! Then he pointed at Wang Zhiyuan and Zhu Zhenhua and said to everyone: "These two self-righteous guys don't know where they came from, they are full of trains, you must not easily believe their nonsense!" Chen Wenhai took a breath, calmed down his excitement, and said to everyone with a smile: "Do you want to hear me tell a story?" I came from Shanghai to Northwest Hubei Province, and I had to work so hard all the way! I don't know how I got over the past 20 years! Then, Chen Wenhai talked endlessly, telling everyone how he met Zhang Peony, and under what circumstances he fell into the emotional entanglement with the three girls Zhang Peony, Zhang Huifang, and Cao Xiaoyan!
Chen Wenhai said a lot, and suddenly felt a dry mouth, so he said to Xie Rundong:
"Pour me a glass of water, my throat is about to smoke!"
Xie Rundong smiled, and then said to Hu Zhanyong:
"You go and see if there is any water in the hot water bottle, if so, please pour a cup and let Chen Wenhai moisten his throat!"
"I'm here to help!" Hu Zhanyong gave a military salute with his legs, then ran to the table to take the hot water bottle, uncorked it, poured a glass of water, and respectfully brought it to Chen Wenhai.
Chen Wenhai took the teacup and said "thank you".
"Didn't you say your throat was about to smoke? Now that I've brought the water to you, why don't you drink it quickly? Hu Zhanyong said to Chen Wenhai with a smile: "Who made you say so much? I thought you were a nerd, but I didn't expect you to be an amorous species! Are you tired of being caught up in this emotional entanglement? β
"I'm not afraid of being tired, what I'm afraid of is that some people have no brains and are willing to be led by the nose by guys with ulterior motives! I feel very sad right now! I thought that Zhang Xuemei would follow the advice of her old classmates and get along with me amicably, but I didn't expect her to be so unkind, and she changed her face after only one night! Is she a bone spirit? β
"She's not a bone spirit, it's you who are too naΓ―ve!"
"Am I naΓ―ve? I don't think so! Chen Wenhai shook his head helplessly, "I can only blame me for being too unlucky!" In addition, blame me for being too weak to withstand the toss! Zhang Xuemei betrayed me so quickly, I was not mentally prepared at all! Last night, the two of us talked so passionately, and only one night later, she was so cold to me, no one could stand it! β
"If you can't stand it, you have to take it!" Xie Rundong smiled, "You're still too young, you don't know girls at all!" After a pause, he smiled and said to Chen Wenhai, "What are you going to do in the future?" In my opinion, you still forgot about Zhang Xuemei! She's just a watery poplar girl, and it's not worth your grief for her at all! β
"The two of us work in the same unit, and we don't see him when we look down, how can we easily forget him?" Chen Wenhai smiled, "You said it too lightly!" β
"You can't think so!" Xie Rundong turned to Hu Zhanyong and said:
"Can you go find Zhang Xuemei and see if she is free now? If she's willing to come to me, I'll have to talk to her! In my opinion, you should hurry up and call Zhang Xuemei and let me enlighten her well! Maybe after my enlightenment, she will change her mind, reconcile with Chen Wenhai, shake hands and say goodbye! β
"You're so confident?"
"It's not me who brags, Zhang Xuemei still listens to me!"
After Hu Zhanyong left, Xie Rundong said to Chen Wenhai with a smile:
"When Zhang Xuemei comes, you can't shout like this anymore. If Zhang Xuemei really loves you, she will be disappointed when she sees you like this, will she continue to love you? True love should stand any test. If the two of you really love each other sincerely, you don't have to be afraid of what people say! β
After a while, Hu Zhanyong returned, and he told Xie Rundong:
"Zhang Xuemei is not here."
"What's not there, don't lie to people!" Chen Wenhai hit the nail on the head and said: "You didn't go to her at all, you didn't dare to go to her at all!" You're all in this together! Chen Wenhai sighed and said with a heavy heart, "Actually, I know very well in my heart that you don't want to see me and Zhang Xuemei sincerely love each other, because: in your eyes, I am not qualified to love Zhang Xuemei at all, and I am not worthy of Zhang Xuemei at all!" β
"Don't think about it, okay?" Xie Rundong said to Chen Wenhai: "Actually, we all hope that Zhang Xuemei can marry you!" What do you think, you are so talented, what reason do we have to oppose Zhang Xuemei marrying you? Now the question is: the relationship between the two of you is not yet hot. If the relationship between the two of you develops further, I think: Zhang Xuemei will definitely marry you willingly! β
"I know this better than you do!" Chen Wenhai's expression became grim, "Of course I know that the relationship between the two of us is still not hot, and it can even be said that the relationship between the two of us is still in its infancy!" Now the crux of the matter is: there are people who don't want to see this and try to strangle our love in the cradle! β
"How can there be such a person? Unless they are your and Zhang Xuemei's enemies! Xie Rundong smiled, and then said seriously: "In our school, the teachers are your brothers and sisters, and there is no reason for them to want to stifle your love!" Now, I finally figured it out, you really love Zhang Xuemei, and Zhang Xuemei has occupied a big place in your heart! β
"If only you understood!" Chen Wenhai laughed happily.
"Are you really in love with Zhang Xuemei?" Hu Zhanyong asked with a smile.
"Why, you only understand now?"
"I admire your courage and frankness!" Hu Zhanyong held Chen Wenhai's hand tightly with both hands, and then shook it vigorously, "You dare to love a girl so boldly, it takes courage!" If it were me, I wouldn't have been able to do it! Now, people have mixed reviews of Zhang Xuemei, many people are talking about her, and you dare to love her boldly in this situation, not everyone can do it! β
At this time, a young governess came in, and she introduced herself:
"My name is Zhang Xiuying, and I just transferred from Shaanxi."
"It turns out that you are Zhang Xiuying!" Chen Wenhai said to her: "A while ago, I heard that our school was going to have a middle school Chinese teacher, but I didn't expect you to come so soon!" β
"Just now, Principal Qu found me and asked me to persuade you not to abandon your career for the sake of a woman, a manly husband should put his career first!"
"What else did he say?"
"He also said: Zhang Xuemei already has a partner, don't have any hope for her!" Zhang Xiuying smiled, "Principal Qu also wants you to pay attention to the impact, and don't shout in the office in the future!" β
"What else is he shitting?" Chen Wenhai angrily rebuked loudly: "Does he still have a little human touch? I was so miserable, and he didn't even let me go! β
"Don't get excited! Now you need to be calm, and don't think about the impossible anymore! β
Hearing what Zhang Xiuying said, Chen Wenhai was very unhappy, and he said to Zhang Xiuying coldly:
"You just came here and don't understand the situation, don't follow the nonsense! You're a good lobbyist! In the future, Qu Ying will definitely promote you! β
Hearing Chen Wenhai say this, Zhang Xiuying had no choice but to say goodbye.
