CH 8

After Lin Dongyang returned to the dormitory, Zhu Wenbo got up and started washing his face. Putting his medicine down, Lin Dongyang walked towards Fatty Han’s bedside with a cold air. When he caught him, he shook him like a storm, making the bed frame creak.

“Aiyo, aiyo, aiyo——”  Fatty Han was shaken to the point of doubting his life. Wailing, reluctant to wake up from his dream, he squinted his small eyes and looked at Lin Dongyang mournfully. 

“Swindler, look what you did!” Lin Dongyang didn’t wait for him to recover before yelling in his face.

“What? It’s still early in the morning, have you not woken up from being drunk yet?”

Fatty Han was sitting on a 1-3-meter-wide bed, holding the quilt and rubbing his eyes. His folded legs occupied the entire width of the bed and Lin Dongyang really doubted how he wasn’t squished into a meatloaf last night. The narrow bed was unexpectedly small but had somehow managed to magically hold both him and Fatty Han.

“Explain it.” Lin Dongyang sat down by the bed, shoving the phone directly in Fatty Han’s face, with a cold tone and an expression of ‘I’ll make your face look good later’. 

Fatty Han took away the mobile phone that was pasted to his face, and then he saw clearly what was on it. He was suddenly excited, and at last his drowsiness was scared away. He vaguely recalled that he had done a very shrewd thing last night…

Fatty Han laughed as he moved back unconsciously, clinging to the quilt to find a sense of security. He always felt that his alcohol tolerance wasn’t bad. He wouldn’t make a fuss when he was drunk, however, he might be unable to control his shrewd behaviour. As for the extent of his shrewdness, he would only know afterwards.

“Think of a way, or I’ll have to drag you down with me when I die.” Lin Dongyang took back his mobile phone, and only had to look at Fatty Han’s expression to know that it was really this guy who did it.

In ancient times, he could suffer a major setback due to negligence, but now he could lose his life due to carelessness.

Fatty Han immediately threw off the quilt and tried to open his eyes wide and express his sincerity, “I was wrong, Yang-ge, really, I shouldn’t have talked to junior brother Qiao.”

He thought Lin Dongyang was just angry because of the measurements he sent, he was completely unaware of the other reasons.

Looking at Fatty Han’s appearance, Lin Dongyang didn’t get angry. But the bad thing had already happened. If he could be saved by a single beating, Lin Dongyang would definitely beat him ten times.

After Qiao Yichen arrived at the campus he went directly to the infirmary, and the half-pouch of liquid medicine in the infusion room hadn’t been removed yet. He touched the sapphire blue watch on his wrist and smiled. He couldn’t tell what he was laughing at, but there was a feeling of victory in it. 

“We’ll see each other soon.”

When he took the delivery back he cut the tape with a utility knife, opened the outermost cardboard box, and plucked away layers of collision-proof foam, revealing a dark purple corner.

Fatty Han, who liked to join in on the fun the most, came around and asked, “What did you buy? The packaging is so good.”

Lin Dongyang shook his head and said he didn’t know. Maybe his parents sent it? He took out the gift box. A gold ribbon was wrapped around the high-end dark purple gift box. The packaging staff carefully tied the ribbon into a beautiful bowknot, and the front of the gift box was covered with a gold logo.

“F*ck, it’s O&D again! Yang-zi, after sleeping in the same room as you for three years, we didn’t know you were an invisible tycoon.” Fatty Han began to talk endlessly when he saw the golden logo. 

Lin Dongyang was also dumbfounded. He only knew of this luxury brand after Fatty Han had given him that lesson. For a moment, Lin Dongyang had a very inflated thought: Are my parents rich?! They kept it from me just to let me experience the life of ordinary children, but I am actually a rich second generation!

With an excited heart, Lin Dongyang opened the dark purple gift box with a trembling hand. As a result…

F*ck the rich second generation!

The item in the gift box instantly broke Lin Dongyang’s rich second generation dream. This was definitely not sent by his parents, because it turned out to be a sparkling woman’s dress! 

“Sh*t hahaha, Yang-zi, since when do you have this hobby? Do you want to be a boss at cross-dressing?” Fatty Han covered his stomach and laughed so straightforwardly that his deafening voice was louder than that of others speaking with a loudspeaker. Lin Dongyang’s face turned red.

Li Wei and Zhu Wenbo weren’t much better. Tears of laughter came out as they slapped the table with a ‘clang, clang’. When the laughter dissipated, the three men began to surround Lin Dongyang and looked him up and down. They took the skirt and put it on him, as if admiring some strange species.

After his roommates questioned him about whether he was a homos*xual, Lin Dongyang was once again questioned by his roommates for being a boss at cross-dressing. Since then, his life had been stamped with two shameful labels. This was simply a provocation to him as a straight man!

“There is still a message for this.” Zhu Wenbo took out a piece of paper at the bottom of the gift box, and praised it: worthy of being luxury goods, even a piece of paper had the brand face. A sentence was written on the paper in the same color as the gift box, and Zhu Wenbo read it with intonation: “Happy birthday senior sister.” 

“Aiyo, it turned out to be sent by your little boyfriend ah. The clothes are not cheap. You can wait for me to search.” Fatty Han clicked on the standby laptop, and then entered the official O&D website page, comparing the real thing and checking it one by one in the dress column.

“Why can’t I find it ah, it’s strange, don’t tell me it’s a counterfeit product?” Fatty Han looked at it carefully again, but still couldn’t find the same model, not even a similar one.

The other three people were all waiting for his results, and Lin Dongyang was also interested in knowing how much this dress was worth. Although it wouldn’t be cheap with this logo, luxury goods weren’t the most expensive, but only more expensive.

After checking all the women’s clothing, Fatty Han clicked on the ‘Spring Limited’ column on the page navigation. After the link jumped in, only one product was displayed on the entire page. 

A white gauze skirt, with very specific detailing. The white skirt was covered with layers of tulle, giving people an elegant fluffy feeling. The skirt had a hand-embroidered, blue feather pattern. Every stitch and thread was done carefully, and no extra thread could be found, which was enough to shock the senses. At the waist was a blue jewel chain belt, the color of which reflected the embroidered feathers on the skirt, which set off the model’s slim waist. The high open V-neck and sleeveless design set off all the nobility and elegance of the woman.

After reading the introduction on the page, Fatty Han turned his head to look at the dress his roommate was holding at the moment, as if he saw his roommate holding a lot of RMB.

He stood up, folded his hands on his abdomen, and bowed to Lin Dongyang at ninety degrees. “Yang-ge, these brothers will count on you to take care of them in the future.”

The three people were confused by Fatty Han’s movements, so they asked, “What’s going on?” 

Fatty Han coughed twice, the corners of his lips rose 45 degrees to maintain a standard smile, and his usual careless movements began to be restrained. He pulled out his chair gracefully with small steps and embodied a formal posture that invited him to sit down as he whispered, “Yang-ge, please take a seat.”

“Speak straight.” Lin Dongyang couldn’t stand his dawdling. Imagine a man who ate from a basin and drinks from a bowl suddenly pretended to be reserved. Who could bear the contrast?

“Okay, Yang-ge asked me to say it, so I will just say it, this dress in your hand… is very expensive.” Fatty Han’s expression looked like a submissive lackey.

“…” The roommates were extremely speechless. They also knew that it was expensive, but what they cared about was how expensive it was. 

Fatty Han snapped his fingers and counted, “One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand hundred thousand. That’s right, you heard me right, it was a hundred thousand.”

The three people were surprised, thinking that Fatty Han was joking. They believed in tens of thousands of yuan, but a hundred thousand? How could a dress have such a sky-high price? So they shook their heads and didn’t believe it.

Fatty Han saw that the result he gave was questioned, and the pretend gentleman’s attitude was immediately beaten back to the original, rudely dragging Li Wei to let him go and see for himself.

“If you still don’t believe it, look at the official website for the price. The spring limited edition, that belt is all real gems!” 

The four people gathered around the laptop, all silently counting the number of digits on the marked price, over and over again.

“Yang-zi, you’ve found a great boyfriend. Does he have any friends to introduce to me?”

Lin Dongyang frowned at Fatty Han’s joke and looked worried. He didn’t feel as happy as he should have when he received the gift. He even thought about how to return it. He didn’t dare to accept it, not to mention that it was so expensive. Even if he accepted it, he couldn’t wear it.

Since knowing the price, none of the three roommates dared to touch the dress for fear of damaging it. If they did then they could only make a living by picking up junk for the rest of their lives. 

Lin Dongyang repackaged the sky-high priced dress and put it on the table. Then he took off his shoes and coat, climbed up his bed, and threw himself on the soft bedding. His roommates had happily turned the topic to the absurd point of ‘When can Yang-zi marry into a rich family’, and he wondered if the follow-up would be even more outrageous.

He rolled over a few times in bed. Because of the worry about the dress, he didn’t feel sleepy during his daily lunch break. He took out his mobile phone and sent a message, the note of ‘Little Boyfriend’ had already been changed to ‘Qiao Yichen’.

[You have money] With a questioning tone, Lin Dongyang felt a little angry at Qiao Yichen’s willful behavior.

He was a child of an ordinary family, and after 23 years, his outlook on life and values had been deeply ingrained. According to the monthly living expenses of 2,000 yuan, this 100,000 was really not a small sum. His father taught him from an early age that he would not be rewarded for nothing. He felt really uneasy about receiving such valuable things in vain. As if it seemed to tell him that he was wrong, but it was the other party’s willfulness that caused him trouble, so why did he feel a little guilty instead? 

D*mn it!

[Have]

A simple word was enough to show the momentum of the rich.
