Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Which One to Use After All?_1
"Ha, even he thinks he's made a fool of himself, just took off running." Wang Shuai said mockingly.
"Didn't you hear him say he's going to pick someone up? Are you deaf or something?" Li Xingwang's fiery temper flared up instantly.
Jing Haichuan chimed in immediately, "Keep yapping, and I'll make sure you won't be able to use your condoms back home."
With his remark, laughter erupted once more in the cafeteria, while Liu Qianqian turned red with embarrassment. These boys were always talking about condoms without the slightest shame!
"Come on, I'll wait a few minutes for him. Let's see if he dares to come back." Wang Shuai said nonchalantly as he settled into a nearby chair, his face filled with disdain.
"Keep stirring up trouble and I'll report you to your head teacher right now," said Liu Qianqian, looking at Wang Shuai.
"Qian Qian, I'm just trying to show you what that guy is really like. Just a spineless good-for-nothing. He's not worth another word from you," Wang Shuai continued.
...
At the entrance of the cafeteria, Mu Huanqing, seated in a wheelchair, guarded three boxes of "Items of Devotion" with her hands, her beautiful eyes sweeping around.
Passing boys couldn't help but take a few extra glances at her face, with many wanting to approach her to offer help, as she looked so delicate in her wheelchair.
"Which department's beauty is this? How come we've never seen her before?"
"Damn, how would I know? She's got even more class than Liu Qianqian. If I could be her boyfriend..."
"What immortal beauty! I can't miss this chance! Guys, I'm charging in first, do as you please."
"Stop, stop, stop! Bro! Don't forget you have a girlfriend! Just last night you were telling that little girl that you'd love her for ten thousand years!"
As the crowd whispered among themselves, several courageous boys began to jog towards Mu Huanqing, but before they'd gone far, they suddenly saw the beauty in the wheelchair waving towards someone in the distance.
When the crowd turned to look, they saw a boy with a joyful smile on his face and waving his hand, running quickly towards her.
Seeing this, the boys who'd been about to approach her suddenly gave up on the idea. She had a boyfriend already, so why cause a fuss?
"Sister Hui Qing, why did you suddenly come here?" Fang Ren squatted in front of her, smiling, "Did that grouchy old man not make you lunch? Eat with me first, and I'll give him a beating when I go back."
"No, I came out here on my own very early," Mu Huanqing couldn't help but smile when she saw him.
"Haven't had lunch yet?"
"Not yet."
"Let's go, I'll take you to eat here."
With that, Fang Ren circled to her back and started pushing her into the cafeteria.
Feeling the envious, jealous, and resentful stares all around him, Fang Ren couldn't deny that he felt quite proud at that moment, satisfying a small vein of vanity.
He usually kept such a low profile, let him be high profile about this at least.
As for the school conflicts, he didn't think they could affect Sister Hui Qing. After all, Uncle Han's previous position was as a high-ranking Earth official, and if such a small matter couldn't be settled, then he'd truly be a good-for-nothing old man.
Fang Ren pushed her into the cafeteria, chatting with her, completely ignoring Wang Shuai over there.
As Fang Ren entered the cafeteria, the onlookers immediately turned their heads back, but no one expected that upon turning around, their chopsticks would fall on the table and they'd forget to swallow their food.
The air suddenly grew much quieter, almost as if one could hear the sound of petrification.
"Who is this girl? Who is she! What immortal beauty... what the hell kind of immortal beauty is this?!
That's just unfair! Referee!"
"Damn it! It's the feeling of being smitten..."
"Mommy! I saw a fairy!"
"No wonder! If I had such a top-notch beauty waiting for me, even if someone punched me, I wouldn't hit back and would rush out instead."
"What's the relationship between these two? Isn't this kid chasing Liu Qianqian? Where did this goddess spring from?"
Jing Haichuan and Li Xingwang were also stunned, even going so far as to rub their eyes with their own "pig's trotters" to make sure they weren't seeing things.
"I'll be damned, this kid..."
"I was wondering why this kid was sulking today. Turns out he was troubled with choosing!"
Wang Shuai was even more shocked. Fang Ren really went out to pick someone up and brought back such an indescribable goddess.
"Shall I introduce you to my two friends?" Fang Ren asked her, looking down.
"Sure."
Mu Huanqing nodded, her hands still tightly clutched around the "Items of Devotion."
As he pushed Mu Huanqing towards the dining table, Li Xingwang and Jing Haichuan gave Wang Shuai a look of smug satisfaction, while Wang Shuai bit his lip and let out a cold sneer.
Meanwhile, Liu Qianqian was somewhat stunned as she watched Fang Ren, feeling suddenly complicated within.
He'd moved on so quickly...?
Li Xinyue, Liu Qianqian's close friend, frowned even more. As far as she was concerned, any guy who gave up on a girl so quickly and switched affections was beneath her contempt.
"Is this... your younger sister?"
Li Xingwang immediately hopped to Fang Ren's side, poking his waist with a finger and grinning mischievously.
"Brother, need a condom? I've got free ones," Jing Haichuan said to him with a lewd gesture.
"Stop it," Fang Ren suddenly felt like punching this condom seller to death. Why couldn't he speak more euphemistically?
Seeing this, Wang Shuai immediately straightened his collar, stepped forward with a smile, and said to Mu Hui, "Miss, I advise you to interact less with this person. He just started pursuing that girl not long ago and is now making moves on you.
He's completely a philanderer; don't believe his nonsense."
"Where the hell do you get off spouting so much crap! Looking for a smack?" Li Xingwang blurted out angrily.
Mu Hui glanced at Wang Shuai, then at Liu Qianqian beside her, and finally turned her gaze to Fang Ren, "Who is he?"
"No idea, just some fool who suddenly showed up to cause trouble," Fang Ren said with a laugh.
"Oh." Mu Hui nodded, ignored Wang Shuai, looked at Liu Qianqian, and continued, "Then who is she?"
Fang Ren awkwardly bit his lip and chuckled, "The one I failed to confess to."
"Oh." Mu Hui nodded again, paying no mind to Liu Qianqian: "Aren't you taking me out to eat?"
"Yeah, you wait here, I'll go buy for you." Fang Ren said, also ignoring Wang Shuai, ready to head to the dining area.
"By the way, Ah Ran, our stuff is broken," Mu Hui suddenly spoke up, frowning slightly.
Fang Ren suddenly turned back, seeing the faint furrow in her brows, and felt as if she was saying, "Ah Ran, our child is sick," with such a heart-wrenching tone.
"What stuff?" asked Fang Ren.
Wang Shuai, seeing that Mu Hui was ignoring him, couldn't hold back and interjected, "Miss, please take my advice. This person is not as good as he appears on the surface. He's just unprincipled and only knows how to sweet-talk..."
Mu Hui wasn't about to pay him any mind. Ah Ran said he was a fool, so treat him as one.
She carefully cradled the "Items of Devotion" in one hand, while her other hand pulled out the crushed condom from the pocket of her skirt from the night before.
"It's this," Mu Hui said with a pained expression.
"Gah!?"
Upon seeing the object, Fang Ren was utterly stunned, and all the hairs on his body stood on end.
Jing Haichuan and Li Xingwang immediately took a step back, unintentionally hugging each other, looking incredulously at Fang Ren. They hadn't expected the usually unremarkable Ranzi to have already done the deed with this beauty!
Wang Shuai, who was in the middle of slandering Fang Ren, was abruptly rendered speechless, nearly biting off his own tongue.
Whoosh—
The appearance of the condom caused a commotion in the crowd.
"Holy shit! Is Fang Ren a beast? Making the girl go buy condoms!"
"Worse than a beast! He's chasing the campus belle while banging a girl even prettier than her on the side!"
"Ah! How could that be possible? How could there be someone so shameless!"
"Don't hold me back! I'm going to kill him!"
"Dude! Hey, dude! Stay calm! Your sister-in-law is right behind you, careful she doesn't give you her 280-pound body massage!"
"Damn it! Wife... I'm sorry..."
"What's wrong?"
Mu Hui, seeing Fang Ren standing there stunned, thought he might be upset, so she immediately took out three more boxes of "Items of Devotion" she had bought and said, "It's okay, I bought three more boxes. Look, which one do you like? We'll just use that one."
Her words were so innocent, but to the ears of the audience, it sounded like she was seductively asking Fang Ren, "Which one shall we use tonight?"
"Heavens!"
"Earth!"
"Mommy!"
"Beast!"
"Are they even human? Showing off love in school is enough! And now they're flaunting condoms at school!"
Fang Ren immediately snatched the four boxes of condoms from Mu Hui's hand and stuffed them into his pocket, a look of embarrassment on his face, as he pushed Mu Hui and ran outside.
Internally, he was screaming, I shouldn't have lied to her last night!
"Showing off and then running away?"
"Damn it! Guys, grab your weapons! I can't stand others having prettier girlfriends than mine!"
"Dude! Calm down! Your sister-in-law is untouchable! No one surpasses her in this world!"
Fang Ren swiftly pushed Mu Hui and escaped the dining hall, as that was no place to stay any longer; if they stayed, where could he ever place his old face again?
Meanwhile, inside the dining hall, Li Xingwang and Jing Haichuan were hugging each other, with tears in their eyes, saying:
"Ranzi... he has finally grown up!"
"He's finally... taken that step!"
As they spoke, the two hugged each other tightly, nearly bursting into tears, as though Fang Ren had just died on the spot.
Liu Qianqian turned on her heel without a word and left, not saying another sentence, followed by Li Xinyue.
"Qian Qian, you should see through him for who he is now, right?"
Seeing his initial target unresponsive, Wang Shuai immediately shifted his focus back to Liu Qianqian.
"Hey Qian Qian, wait for me, I'm the one who truly likes you sincerely!"
"Wang Shuai, please stop bothering me," Liu Qianqian said.
