Chapter 4, Enchanting and Bewitching
At that moment, Shi Shi was momentarily stunned. I failed to hold him back, and he had already jumped into the flower bed beside him, grabbing a short-handled iron shovel. Like a rabbit, he sprang up, and without saying a word, he kicked the man aside from behind, then struck him on the head with the shovel. I closed my eyes, thinking it was over; I wouldn't be able to go to the Workers' Stadium, and I might even have to make a trip to the district police station.
Since the day Shishi met Tianhong, she has changed. Initially, when she first arrived, she would call and write to Lanzi every day, but gradually she stopped both and would just drag me to wander aimlessly under the girls' dormitory. At that time, Shishi was so infatuated that it was almost outrageous. To put it this way, she even bought a particularly stylish outfit, and the first thing she did upon returning to the dormitory was to change into the new clothes and drag me to show off under the girls' dormitory. Eventually, I got annoyed and said, "Why do you always drag me along?" Shishi maliciously told me it was for comparison, so that I could better highlight her handsome and extraordinary demeanor.
To discuss why Shi Shi has become the lewd and depraved person she is today, Tian Hong is undoubtedly the main culprit. In my opinion, charging her with inciting juvenile delinquency would not be excessive.
Tian Hong is one grade above both Shi Shi and me. By the time we entered the school, she was already the most prominent figure in the entire school, the most beautiful girl, the one with the most rumors surrounding her, and the one who was the subject of the most gossip.
I believe Shishi has already fallen deeply into it, to use Maodou's words: trapped in the unfathomable depths between Tianhong's legs.
Then, gazing at the enchanting background of the female demon, Shi Shi murmured to herself, sincerely exclaiming, "This is what a woman is, with countless emotions reflected in her eyes!"
If Shishi does not behave this way, his expression will immediately become extremely indifferent, and he will feel completely devoid of any breath. This does not mean that he will instantly turn as cold as an iceberg; icebergs are not truly frightening. Shishi will genuinely become like a stone, devoid of emotion, temperature, and sensation, and he will never melt. I often ponder in my heart, what kind of hatred must one harbor to reach such a state of animosity.

All efforts seemed to have gone to waste. Later, I inadvertently learned a shocking piece of news: Tian Hong did not actually live in the dormitory at all; instead, he had rented a place nearby off-campus.
Mr. San once expressed a view that I consider to be extremely classic. In his words, a man should not even think about beautiful women before he has a few million in assets; it is futile to do so. Even if he occasionally encounters one or two beautiful girls who unwittingly fall into his arms, he is merely nurturing them for someone else, ultimately ending up with nothing in both wealth and love.
After failing to attract Tian Hong's attention during a week of consecutive fashion shows, Shi Shi changed his strategy. He began sending flowers to Tian Hong's dormitory, choosing the most expensive ones available, such as the blue roses that were the priciest in the flower shop. At that time, the owner of the nearby flower shop priced them at over one hundred for a single stem, and Shi Shi sent six dozen over the course of a week. This has become a legendary story at our school. It is said that now, every Valentine's Day, those girls tell their boyfriends, "What does nine hundred and ninety-nine roses mean? If you have the ability, learn from him and send nine hundred and ninety-nine blue roses!" The direct effect of this event was to boost the business of the flower shops around our school. By the time we graduated, the flower shop owner had already replaced his Cherokee with an Audi A6.
Fortunately, the main gate of our school is close to the football field, and the boys in our school are quite chivalrous. Whenever they see someone bullying a student from our school at the entrance, regardless of whether they know them or not, a dozen or so rush out in a flurry, causing the bully to flee with their hands over their heads.
I believe that the influence of male hormones should not be underestimated
At that moment, upon hearing this statement, our group nearly laughed ourselves to death
Of course, I cannot bring this up with Shishi, because I know that even now, Shishi still has feelings for Tian Hong. It is said that women often have a special affection for the man they first slept with; in fact, men feel the same way.
At that time, there were only three people who could still hold on, including myself, Shishi, and a guy from the same dormitory next to us.
The person who said this is also a remarkable individual from our university, and at that time, he was the brother sleeping in the upper bunk above me. He is a typical southerner, adept at navigating social situations and skilled in budgeting. In terms of appearance, he belongs to the petite category. Therefore, we affectionately referred to him as Comrade Edamame. Additionally, due to his position as the third in our dormitory, we all fondly called him Third Master.
Upon seeing someone run away, Shishi immediately jumped up from Tianhong's embrace. He directed everyone to the school infirmary to provide aid and then flagged down a car, taking Tianhong to the hospital.
In fact, many years later, when I think back to the enthusiasm with which Shishi pursued Tianhong, I find that this kid was truly foolish. For a woman like Tianhong, if Shishi had simply saved the money he spent on flowers and clothes and directly presented it to her, he could have won her over immediately. I have no doubt about the feasibility of this approach.
That night, Shi Shi did not return to the dormitory, but instead stayed at Tian Hong's house off-campus. The next day, Shi Shi announced that he had taken Tian Hong. On the third day, Shi Shi helped Tian Hong pay a year's rent.
The first time I saw Tian Hong was during a noon visit to the cafeteria shortly after the school year began. From a distance, I spotted a woman dressed in an exceptionally alluring manner approaching us, her serpentine waist captivating all of us. What was most frustrating was that, despite her strikingly seductive attire, those vibrant colors somehow did not appear vulgar on her. Her figure could indeed be described as devilishly attractive. Even years later, after a casual encounter with Lan Zi, as we whispered sweet nothings to each other, Lan Zi asked me if the most beautiful woman in my eyes was her. I pondered for a moment and told her the truth: Yes, the most beautiful woman is you, but that is when you are dressed. If you were to undress, you would definitely not compare to Tian Hong.
Alright, let's not digress.
If he were to say such things to me now, I would be willing to risk everything. However, the truth is that I did not look good at that time; I had a face that could only rely on others for support. In ancient times, I would have been described by storytellers as having eyebrows that were beautifully arched and eyes that resembled bright stars, yet I was unfortunately as thin as a bamboo pole, with fists that, when clenched, resembled chicken claws. In winter, I could still swagger around the campus in a thick cotton coat, pretending to be a handsome guy.

Dressed in a short-sleeved shirt, I looked like a clothes hanger, easily swaying in the wind.
Including myself and Maodou, none of us are a match for the remaining two. Shishi was already kicked down into Tianhong's arms by the opponent and has not gotten up since. I was retreating while defending myself.
It is said that she broke up with her hometown boyfriend as soon as she entered the school, and immediately fell into the arms of a senior who was the president of the student union in his fourth year. Leveraging her relationship with her lover, she secured a position in the student union, wielding considerable power. Anyone who has attended university knows the countless benefits of holding a position in the student union for future employment after graduation. After that president graduated, she spent a short summer vacation in Sanlitun, where she hooked up with a wealthy IT young man. She then worked at his company for a summer, earning nearly 10,000 yuan.

Upon the start of the new semester, she was choosing between the current student union president and the captain of the school football team for her next boyfriend.
Looking back at the time when we were all grown up, recalling the words of Mao Dou, I can't help but feel that those principles were indeed profoundly true. My admiration for San Ye has increased even more. It is worth noting that when we were just a bunch of kids, Mao Dou had already seen through the worldly affairs.
The turning point in the relationship between Shishi and Tianhong occurred on a weekend afternoon. The two of us, along with Uncle Maodou, managed to get three tickets to watch Team A at the Workers' Stadium. However, when we reached the school gate, we saw Tianhong being held between two men by the roadside, with one man viciously slapping her face.
Generally speaking, when one person hates another, the most they might do is glare and grit their teeth
At the beginning, Shishi tucked a small note into the flowers, and later added a love letter. When there was still no response, in a fit of anxiety, he even attached his own photo. At that moment, I couldn't help but marvel at the immeasurable enthusiasm that male animals exhibit during courtship.
I know that Shi Shi has never truly hated anyone in her life, but the only person she harbors hatred for is Tian Hong. Whenever this person is inadvertently mentioned, Shi Shi's expression becomes extremely frightening.
The guy next to me immediately chimed in, "It's unfathomable between the legs!"
At that moment, when we saw such a timeless, enchanting goddess approach, we, a group of young boys, were utterly mesmerized. Tian Hong cast a flirtatious glance at us, lightly snorted through her nose, and continued to sway her hips as she walked by. Any boy who was met with her gaze turned beet red, nearly to the point of bleeding.
