Chapter 8
"Who exactly is this handsome man who descended from the sky and turned the tide of the battle?" Zheng Yanqing's loud voice made Yu Run's face stiffen for a moment, and the fish slice he was holding trembled slightly.
Now it is just the four of them, which means it is time for severe interrogation
That night, Kong Anhuai quietly checked on rock climbing
Among the four individuals, the most robustly built Zheng Yanqing's stomach suddenly began to rumble loudly, a sound that resonated throughout the already quiet and enclosed elevator, heard by everyone present
Is your younger brother also studying in City B? Which school? Just now, during dinner, due to the low pressure surrounding Yu Run, Zheng Yanqing held back and did not ask, forcing out the question with a fierce look, without any punctuation.
I have returned to my country," he said, "back to City H
During that era, there was very little information related to rock climbing in the country, and most of the search results from search engines regarding rock climbing were news about certain foreign athletes falling off cliffs while climbing
Kong Anhuai took a sip of beer and shifted the topic to another subject
Yu Ze and his twin brother do not seem to have a good relationship
The bedroom has quieted down
I am indeed hungry," Yu Ze murmured, "I just exerted an astonishing amount of energy during the exercise
Returning to the dormitory, the adrenaline from the earlier fight had not yet completely faded. The four girls closed the door and murmured among themselves for quite a while.
The Yu family is a scholarly lineage, with most of the male members being educators since the time of her great-grandfather. Yu Ze's father is a professor at University Z and is quite well-known in City H
Jiang Xiaoyi's eyes were still swollen and red, yet she smiled as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders
Are you not on good terms? At this moment, the perceptive Kong Anhuai is also holding a cushion, preparing to listen to the gossip
Zheng Yanqing, sipping on the milk and pickled fish soup, boldly declared that she would definitely land a punch on the scumbag's stomach, while Yu Ze insisted that the punch was actually aimed at her own body, and the two continued to bicker endlessly
When I was young, I truly did not understand why there were so many things worth laughing at
Kong Anhuai, chewing delicately on the tender fish slices, wore a broad smile, yet his eyes were fixed on Yu Run, who had remained silent.
Thus, she was taken aback when she saw the expression in Yu Run's photograph
Zheng Yanqing stubbornly leaned her head down a little more, half of her body hanging off the bed: "What money can students possibly have!"
"Fraternal twins!" Yu Ze seemed to have answered such questions countless times in his life. After responding, he would glare as if to threaten, "Do not ask me why I don't look alike, and do not ask me why there is such a height difference."
The future is entirely within her grasp, devoid of any surprises
She had never seen such intense desire in anyone's eyes, raw and completely animalistic, fixated on the pinnacle of desire
Yu Run took a sip of beer without showing any emotion, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and it was hard to tell if he was impatient. However, he only ate a few bites of the dish before putting down his chopsticks
"What a wonderful world this is," Zheng Yanqing concluded, and the other two nodded in agreement, feeling the same way.
Even a person as esteemed and well-mannered as his own father often gets so infuriated that he picks up a stool to smash it
However, she saw a photograph in which the man was drenched in sweat, his bronze skin exposed, with long arms and legs resembling a spider as he clung to the jagged rock wall, his gaze incredibly resolute
"Let's go eat." Kong Anhuai's tone also carried a hint of laughter
I just helped her steer the conversation in that direction because there was an outsider, Yu Run, present.
"Don't!" Zheng Yanqing made a gesture to stop, "Experiencing such a thing once in a lifetime is enough, I've even lost my button!"
Kong Anhuai scooped up another piece of fish fillet, and just as he was happily chewing with his eyes squinted, his gaze suddenly met Yu Run's.
Such matters, in the eyes of the Yu family, are considered improper work that involves speculation and gambling with one's life
"No, he hasn't studied." Yu Ze looked up at Zheng Yanqing, whose hair had already fallen in front of her, and sighed, "You're going to die; if it falls down, you'll really become completely foolish."
At that time, she had no other aspirations apart from studying. She consistently ranked first or second in her class, and it was only natural that she was admitted to the best university in the country, where she studied management. She thought to herself that if she did not pursue further studies abroad, she would likely find a position in a large enterprise and gradually work her way up to a senior executive role.
The topic inadvertently circled back to the thrilling scene of beating the scumbag, leading to a comparison of who had hit the scumbag more times.
Rewarding oneself while also celebrating Jiang Xiaoyi's farewell to a scumbag
The first to break into laughter was the victim Jiang Xiaoyi, who had been sorrowful and weeping. She had a gentle appearance, and when she smiled, her brows and eyes curved charmingly.
"Does your head still hurt?" Kong Anhuai asked Jiang Xiaoyi, but it immediately shifted everyone's attention.
This is not good! Zheng Yanqing hung her head down from the upper bunk, her face expressing disapproval. We had quite a lot to eat this meal, and I later added two more servings of crayfish.
During the New Year celebrations, as soon as Yu Run appears, the harmonious atmosphere will be completely ruined by him
Climbing rock walls everywhere, one can earn money by completing a route.
Originally, my father intended to have him become a student with a sports specialty, believing that with a bit more effort in his academic courses, he could at least attend university. However, starting from his second year of high school, he began skipping classes and nearly did not complete high school.
The call from Yu Run came in while Kong Anhuai was pouring himself a drink and had already consumed more than half a bottle of red wine. When Kong Anhuai answered, he felt that his tongue was somewhat stiff.
And today, the owner of that gaze finally received the honor he desired, yet he still did not gain the understanding of his family
Others also raised their glasses, and when they clinked together, Yu Ze's expression appeared somewhat unnatural
Sighing, Yu Ze pushed Zheng Yanqing, who was about to slide down from the upper bunk once again, back up and nodded: "He has been rebellious since childhood, did not perform well in studies, but excelled in sports."
"Ha, how can that be called work? It's just courting death." Yu Ze's expression turned cold, "He doesn't study properly, doesn't participate in sports as a special talent, and insists on engaging in extreme sports."
I am the twin brother. "Yu Ze waved his hand, "Yu Run.
"Indeed, I ordered a small portion of non-spicy pickled fish by myself." Kong Anhuai, who also opposes it because spicy food upsets his stomach, chimed in.
Jiang Xiaoyi raised his beer glass and clinked it with Yu Run, saying, "Thank you, otherwise today would have been a real disaster."
Everyone burst into laughter again
What? The other three people all looked up at her. Yu Ze was less than 1.6 meters tall, and the younger brother she mentioned was definitely over 1.9 meters tall. How could they be twins like this?
And that person is Yu Run, who rescued Yu Ze from the hands of a scoundrel during the day
"Rock climbing, have you heard of it? It's that activity where you climb cliffs with a rope and some nails. I broke my leg last year while doing it, and my mother cried every day, fearing that one day she would read in the newspaper about her son falling to his death from a cliff." By the end, he was gritting his teeth.
Both individuals were taken aback, and Yu Run was the first to look away.
Yu Ze hummed and glared at his gossipy roommates: "During dinner, An Huai changed the topic to avoid making me feel awkward. Why is it that all of you, one after another, are so oblivious and brought this up again?"
Inside the elevator, Jiang Xiaoyi was still shedding tears, while Yu Ze kept holding her. The others remained silent, and the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive
It seems that they do not want everyone to focus on Yu Run.
Kong Anhuai moved to Yu Ze's bed while holding a pillow and gently massaged Yu Ze's shoulders
Yu Ze shook his head: "No need, this meal is treated by Yu Run"
Therefore, no matter how good her relationship is with Kong Anhuai and the others, she has never actively mentioned that she has a twin brother, and even in their family, during festivals and holidays, they would rather not acknowledge the existence of this child.
"Did he work?" Jiang Xiaoyi responded with a slight embarrassment, "However, he really helped me a lot this time. I should have treated you all to a meal."
Remaining silent, Yu Ze no longer shifted the topic back to Yu Run.
He doesn't seem like that. Zheng Yanqing was taken aback; Yu Run appeared a bit aloof, sitting there with a somewhat unruly demeanor, yet he was clean and had an upright gaze, not resembling a rebellious child. Moreover, it is not easy to find a job in City B, so it is not simple for him to have found work here.
Yu Run remained silent, standing in the corner like a pillar. The corners of his mouth twitched as he watched his roommate's sister being protected like a hen by her own mother, and a smile began to appear in his eyes
After the great battle, everyone decided to have a good meal
Q University is quite difficult to get into, but for families like Yu Ze's, attending Q University seems to be a matter of course. Yet, unexpectedly, they ended up with a rebellious child who started engaging in extreme sports right after graduating from high school
Kong Anhuai did not even have time to retract the expression of inquiry he had just shown; his polite smile was only half-formed before he awkwardly withdrew it.
"This is the first time I've ever fought in my life..." Jiang Xiaoyi, who had already regained his composure, said in a soft and somewhat petty manner. After finishing his words, he smiled and added, "That felt great"
He is wealthy! Yu Ze waved his hand and lowered his head to start playing on his phone
Yu Ze felt that it was difficult to express in words and also felt embarrassed
After letting out a sigh of relief and having a hearty meal, Jiang Xiaoyi felt completely relaxed. After letting out a satisfied burp, he turned to Yu Ze and said: "You paid for the meal just now, right? How much was it in total? You can split it with me."
Zheng Yanqing let out a couple of chuckles, her body leaning forward slightly
In the dormitory, there is an unwritten rule that when going out to eat, it is generally the dormitory leader, Yu Ze, who pays first, and then the expenses are split among everyone.
So I chose a well-known pickled fish restaurant near the school and ordered a bunch of dishes with a flurry of excitement
"I lost a button on my clothes." Zheng Yanqing, who had made an awkward sound, suddenly exclaimed, "Damn it, my new clothes!"
"Indeed, I just saw that scoundrel crash particularly hard." Yu Ze quickly picked up the conversation.
Then, as if they could no longer hold back, the four girls burst into laughter together
