Chapter 42
The Single-Minded Boyfriend (5)
Jiang Zhes changes during this period of time were most obvious to his roommates.
They were no longer awakened by his phone ringing in the middle of the night or a mans weirdly accented comforting voice.
On the contrary, Jiang Zhe became even more disciplined than them, getting up and sleeping on time.
It was another regular afternoon. Jiang Zhe had just eaten his takeout meal, and was just about to go back to work when someone walked up behind him.
Jiang Zhe looked back. It turned out to be his roommate, Li Fei, nicknamed Airplane.
Li Fei was unprepared when their eyes met. He felt slightly uncomfortable and shifted his eyes away, quietly saying, Jiang, Jiang Zhe.
Jiang Zhe: "Yes?"
Li Fei: "I heard that you sold a piece of software a few days ago."
Jiang Zhe raised his eyebrows. He didnt expect this piece of news to spread so fast.
He was very low-key when he sold that software.
In fact, Jiang Zhe misunderstood. That day, Li Fei coincidentally saw him and a man wearing a western suit walking out of the caf, talking and laughing. His heart felt that it was suspicious, and after listening to his friends in the computer science field, he found out that recently, someone sold a piece of software in their field and earned big bucks.
On top of that, Jiang Zhe had been staying in the dorm during this period of time, busily typing away on his computer. With this connection, he inferred this conclusion with around 80% confidence.
Asking Jiang Zhe today, is only to gain more confirmation. He had already thought it through. If Jiang Zhe denied it, how should he rebut, however
Jiang Zhe was unexpectedly happy, nodding: "Yes, I sold it."
Li Fei: "You don't have to wait, what did you just say?"
Jiang Zhe: "I said that I sold a piece of software a few days ago. Is there any problem?"
Li Fei: !!!
He waved his hand and said quickly: "No, no."
After a while, he seemed to be talking to himself, but at the same time, he seemed to be deliberately saying it for Jiang Zhe to hear.
Li Fei: "Weve already been roommates for three years, yet I never knew you were so amazing. I couldnt tell previously, haha."
Jiang Zhes fingers continued typing furiously, while saying carelessly, "I used to be confused and couldnt tell what was important. Not to mention my dropping grades, I almost lost my girlfriend. His voice trailed off at the end, bringing a sense of self-mockery and unconsciously making others believe his words.
Li Fei was stunned. Looking at the atmosphere getting colder, he gave a haha and avoided the topic.
Li Fei: "Aish, its not too late to change now. Look, youve been self-studying these past few months, yet you can compete against people whove studied for two to three years. This talent is simply unmatchable."
Jiang Zhe smiled and didn't answer.
Only the sound of his keyboard typing reverberated around the room. Li Fei glanced at Jiang Zhe. The other party didnt even have any superfluous movement. He rubbed his nose in embarrassment and left.
Jiang Zhe was left alone in the bedroom. He stopped typing and rubbed his forehead.
He doesnt know why, but theres this persistent feeling that this matter isnt over yet.
Just as the holidays were approaching, the school held a social gathering. Jiang Zhe wasnt interested, but Pei Yuns roommates wanted to go. Helplessly, she went along.
Even his girlfriend had gone for it, could Jiang Zhe just sit there?
Probably, he would have to carry this accusation around forever.
Giant abuse.
Jiang Zhe begged for mercy in a low voice, "APei, I was wrong. I will not dare to do so in the future. "
Pei Yun: "Hmph ^"
Jiang Zhe: "In the future, Ill leave the money matters to you. Without money, itll impossible for me to give things to people."
Pei Yun thought about it, and found it true, "Then, Ill let you off for now."
No one expected that this social gathering would end with this farce.
Pei Yuns roommates were quite apologetic; after all, they were the ones who pulled Pei Yun into going.
To apologise, the three girls cosplayed as spies, and went around finding out why Lin Yue and her friends chose the day of the social gathering to make trouble.
The situation had blown up rather big, and the three girls didnt need to spend too much effort to find out. However, the results stunned them.
In the dorm.
The four girls gathered, ate snacks and drank coca cola while gossiping.
I thought of many possibilities previously, but not once did I think the trouble occurred because of Jiang Zhe selling his software.
Pei Yun: "Why do you say that?"
This news started spreading from the computer science field. At the start, it only said that Jiang Zhe earned a few tens of thousands, but afterwards it became just above a hundred thousand. Passing on and on, in the end, it actually became that Jiang Zhe earned a few hundred thousand from it, enough for a down payment for a house. That was the key point, having sufficient for a housing down payment without even stepping into society."
"Yours cant compare to how outrageous the one I heard was, actually hearing that Jiang Zhe earned up to a million. Isnt that a joke?"
Pei Yun lowered her head guiltily, took a piece of potato chip and slowly ate it.
"Lin Yue that group originally didnt want to pay any attention to Jiang Zhe. However, after hearing those evil gossip spread by others, and seeing how our APei is living so well, they instantly believed it. Aiyo, do they not use their brains? There are so many people in the computer science field. If anyone could make a piece of software and sell it for a million, then those large company bosses must be fools.
"Yeah, but then again, normal people arent able to do such things. Despite knowing that the guy already has a girlfriend, they repeatedly tried to hold on to him in public."
"Exactly. APei, dont become distant from Jiang Zhe because of this incident, otherwise only you will hurt, and your enemies will rejoice."
Pei Yun laughed helplessly: "How can it be as exaggerated as you said?"
"No exaggeration, no exaggeration. In fact, strictly speaking, this trouble arose because of us. If we didnt drag you along, you wouldnt have gone, and you wouldnt have lost face.
Her three roommates stood up, APei, sorry.
Pei Yun didnt know how to react, and could only stand up with them, You all, aish. Really, Ive never placed it in my heart. Youre making things so serious, even Im starting to feel embarrassed."
Ok, ok, not serious, not serious. Lets chat about something relaxing.
The holidays start tomorrow. Are you going straight back home or staying in school for some time?"
"Im going home. My mom called a few times. She said she misses me a lot, hehe.
"My dad also nags on the phone, saying how hell prepare this and that good food for me to eat when I go home. You also know that I cant resist the temptation of food!"
The few people quickly started chatting about different topics. Pei Yun looked at them chatting excitedly, her heart moved, and she sneakily sent Jiang Zhe a message.
[When are you going home? ]
