Chapter 4, Graduation Outing (Part 1)
Sister Xia, Wang Fang has changed so much, it seems like she wasn't very active before?" Zhou Hong secretly tugged at Xiao Xia's sleeve
Central Park covers a vast area, almost constructed in the style of ancient gardens, with a large artificial lake in the center. "Xia, would you be interested in going boating?" Since returning from the world of Fullmetal Alchemist, life has seemed quite dull for the past few days. Wang Fang has found himself losing interest in everything, struggling to lift his spirits. His days are spent either browsing novels online or watching anime, with only the constant experimentation of alchemy in the real world to occupy him. However, at this moment, having a beautiful woman by his side to enjoy the scenery would also be quite nice, providing a change to his routine.
Today's activities are quite simple. During the day, we will engage in activities in this park, and for lunch, we will prepare our own meals. In the evening, we have made a reservation at a hotel where everyone will contribute to enjoy a lavish feast. Regardless of whether one can drink or not, tonight, we shall indulge until we are thoroughly intoxicated
As Wang Fang approached, Xiao Xia suddenly said: "Everyone is here telling jokes. Although I didn't hear the last joke, judging by everyone's reactions, it must have been very funny. Why don't you tell one too? As long as it's not worse than the last one, I'll go rowing with you"
"If I unleash my power, I must warn you in advance. If you can't eat lunch after hearing my joke today, don't blame me." "With your mediocre skills? Go ahead, I'm waiting for you." The one who is stirring up trouble at the back is a close friend of Zhang Fenglan, also from the same locality. However, this person always speaks as if he is the brother, saying how brother is going to do this and that, generally speaking, he has probably played too much of the game 'True Three'.
The next day, Wang Bo returned, and Wang Fang stayed in his small nest for two days without going out. His appetite gradually recovered, and with the assistance of alchemy, in just two short days, Wang Fang's body was almost fully restored. Therefore, early in the morning, after receiving a phone call, he went to school, collected his graduation certificate and degree certificate, then hurriedly took a few photos in a borrowed bachelor's gown, and rushed to Central Park without stopping. The other classmates had already completed everything the day before, and now, it was said that more than thirty people in the class were waiting for him alone.
It hasn't been long since we last met, and the changes are quite significant. I remember in the past, you weren't much of a talker.
With only a few snippets overheard and knowing who the joker was, Wang Fang easily guessed the nature of the joke. The joker was Li Banshan, the chubby boy in the class, who was famously a two-dimensional Loli enthusiast. Therefore, the jokes he told were mostly related to Loli, revolving around the same few themes, yet they were still considered classic. The one he just told was a story about a little girl buying a set.
"Brother Fang, the beautiful lady has spoken, why not hurry and serve the gentlemen?" The chubby guy who just told a joke shouted. "Yes, it's the first time for the beautiful Xiao to give someone a chance, Brother Fang, why not put in more effort?" This was Wang Baoqiang, also a person of the crowd, highly skilled in the art of language. Just take his previous sentence for example; in that sentence, there were two emphatic points in his voice: 'first time' and 'put in more effort.' With just one sentence, he made Xiao Xia's face turn completely red and left the eyes of the surrounding friends wide open.
"Smooth talker." Xiao Xia shot a glance at Wang Fang, who, without a moment's hesitation, replied, "You haven't tried..." Then he abruptly stopped, wearing a strange expression. Although he did not finish his sentence, the phrase had already spread widely, so there was no need to elaborate; everyone understood the implication, and Xiao Xia's face instantly turned crimson.
Once upon a time, a little girl came to a health supplement store with a backpack and said to the salesperson, "Auntie, I want to buy a cover." The salesperson looked at the little girl with a strange expression, thinking to herself, could it be that her parents sent her to buy this? So she handed the girl a cover. The little girl held it in her hands and compared it, saying, "Auntie, it's too small. Do you have a larger one?" Upon hearing this, the salesperson found it even more peculiar, wondering how the girl knew so much about sizes. Haha, she then took a medium-sized cover. The little girl compared it again and said, "Auntie, it's still small." The salesperson thought to herself: no way, it's still small? Could her father be a foreigner? But she didn't look like one. Nevertheless, she took out another cover for the little girl. The little girl held it in her hands and compared it, saying, "Auntie, it's too small. Do you have a larger one?" The salesperson found it even more bizarre, wondering how the girl was so knowledgeable about sizes. Haha, she then took out a large cover. The little girl compared it and said, "Auntie, it's still too small." The salesperson thought: no way, it's still small? Could her father be a foreigner? But she didn't look like one. However, she still took out the largest cover. The little girl compared it and then put it on her head. The little girl compared it and said, "Auntie, it's still too small." The salesperson couldn't help but glance at the large black artificial phallus hanging on the wall of the store, realizing that this was what it was about. So she handed the largest cover to the little girl. The little girl picked up the cover, compared it, and then put it on her head. The salesperson was curious, wondering how one could wear a cover on their head: "Little friend, why do you want to buy a cover?" The little girl replied honestly, "The Children's Day is coming, and the teacher organized us to perform a show, and I have to act." "What does your teacher want you to act as?" "The teacher told me, you act as a few babs."
When it reached 10 o'clock, those who could come had arrived, and the final count was merely 19 people, which was less than half of the class. Most of those who could not attend had likely gone home or had other pressing matters to attend to, which is understandable. After confirming the number of attendees, today's event finally commenced officially. Such collective activities had been organized numerous times in previous years, all hosted by Xiao Xia, and this time was no different. However, this might be their last collective activity, as university classmates are not like those from middle or high school; everyone comes from different places, and after graduation, they will scatter in various directions, making future gatherings difficult.
Seeing the glorious results of the battle, Wang Fang proudly said to Xiao Xia: "So, Xiao Xia, the beautiful lady said, 'Eight horses cannot chase after you'? Shall we board the boat together?" "Wang Fang, you are truly too mischievous," Xiao Xia seemed to be enduring quite a struggle, taking a long time to catch her breath. Suddenly, a strange voice came from the side: "Shall we board the boat together?" It was Wang Baoqiang again, this time he showcased his superb linguistic artistry, like a finishing touch, ambiguously placing the strong tone on the boat.

The entire crowd erupted with laughter, each person covering their mouth, and the whole province began to shake with mirth. Everyone cast strange glances at the two brothers, Ye and Ge. Zhang Fenglan and Zhao Bao, upon hearing the joke, especially the line repeated by Wang Fang, felt a mix of anger, amusement, and nausea. Finally, they could not hold back any longer and vomited, covering the ground. "This phlegm is just too sticky; no matter how you bite it, you can't break it apart," Wang Fang said to the two brothers, prompting them to vomit again, nearly bringing up the meal they had eaten days before. Seeing the two brothers vomit, the earlier mentioned Wang Baoqiang also finally succumbed and began to vomit.
Indeed, tomorrow we will be separated, yet I feel nothing. It seems that my heart cannot stir any waves. Wang Fang squinted his eyes, raised his hand to touch his face, only to find nothing there; it turned out that there were no glasses on his nose. "So, Wang Fang, now that you have graduated from university, what are your plans?"
Oh, our vegetative state patient has arrived, haha, and they came so early, their recovery is quite good. The voice, as crisp as a wind chime, belongs to the beautiful Xiaoxia. "The beautiful Xiaoxia invites me to die tomorrow, so I must get out of bed today, even if I am late."
There had always been no reason for it, but one day, Zhao Gang revealed a flaw. At that time, Wang Fangzheng and Li Qian were together, and Zhao Gang's girlfriend was Li Qian's close friend. Zhao Gang, in his carelessness, ended up getting his girlfriend pregnant, and ultimately refused to take responsibility. As a result, it was Li Qian who helped to borrow money for the abortion. Zhao Gang's behavior of starting something and then abandoning it was truly contemptible. One night, a group of men and women cornered him in an alley, with Wang Fang being one of them. He fiercely stomped on Zhao Gang's face twice, and Zhao Gang was surrounded and beaten by the group. However, no one used excessive force, and Zhao Gang did not suffer any serious injuries. The only significant injury he sustained was from Wang Fang's two kicks, which knocked out one of his front teeth.
"You can't even call out to you on weekdays? Your beauty has run away, and only then did you notice my presence." Xiao Xia said with a teasing expression. At this moment, a group of people around him burst into loud laughter, and two girls turned beet red. Although Xiao Xia had heard the first half and knew it was a risqué joke, he couldn't quite catch what was funny about it.
Alright, let's not discuss such a heavy topic anymore. What we want today is happiness, and tomorrow we will be worlds apart. Oh, Teacher Liu is here, let's talk later. Xiao Xia waved her hands and ran towards Counselor Teacher Liu.
Oh, so the tiger doesn't show its power and thinks I'm just a sick cat, expecting me to serve you? Not only can I serve you well, but I can also serve you until you vomit. Do you believe it? Hmph, a tiger, huh? I rarely hear you roar on ordinary days, but today, I want to see how a tiger shows its might. Just don't let me hear a cat's meow instead. The one speaking is Zhang Fenglan from Beijing, with a strong Beijing accent, always using words like 'today' and 'I'.
The beautiful woman was furious: "You, Wang Baoqiang, weren't you just not sick enough? Do you want me to repeat what Wang Fang said earlier?" "That's enough, that's enough," Wang Baoqiang quickly pleaded for mercy. However, once Wang Fang and Xiao Xia had walked far away, he shouted from behind, "On the ship, a moment is worth a thousand gold pieces." "Wang Baoqiang, just wait, when you eat at noon today, I will come to deal with you again," came Xiao Xia's voice from a distance. Wang Baoqiang's face instantly turned green.
Zhao Gang, on the other hand, is purely an enemy. This Zhao Gang, with his pretentious demeanor, is indeed a hypocrite, a type of person that Wang Fang finds most intolerable. Of course, his disdain may also be related to Zhao Gang's good looks, as he is certainly more handsome than Wang Fang. You find me displeasing, and I cannot even look at you; the principle of force is mutual. Zhao Gang often sets traps for Wang Fang, always trying to make things difficult for him, though these are merely trivial matters. Naturally, Wang Fang also seeks to retaliate.

As a delinquent student who moved out of school in his freshman year, Wang Fang, despite having studied for four years, could hardly name more than ten people in his class. However, he was very familiar with the two individuals before him. The beautiful Xiaoxia was someone he had pursued in the past, though it led to no outcome. With only five girls among the forty students in the class, the competition was fierce, not to mention the outsiders trying to make their moves. Perhaps due to the protective nature of the classmates or other reasons, Wang Fang had not seen Xiaoxia with any other boys throughout the four years, nor had he heard any rumors suggesting otherwise. Thus, even now, the beautiful Xiaoxia remained single, her cold heart likely having frozen the hearts of many innocent young men.
The speaker is Zhao Gang, who does not know when he arrived behind Wang Fang. "Plans, what plans can there be? Anyway, I will not work and be exploited by the capitalists of the socialist society. It seems that my four years of university education have been in vain. Staying at home won't allow me to engage in national trade, haha." After Wang Fang finished speaking, he ignored Zhao Gang and went directly to the newsstand to buy water.
Before it was even 9:30, Wang Fang had already arrived at Central Park. "No way, weren't there supposed to be over thirty people waiting for me?" Wang Fang counted and found only about ten people scattered around, among whom only two were familiar faces: one was the stunning beauty Xiao Xia, who was among the best-looking in the entire department, and the other was Zhao Gang, the vice president of the student council, who was an adversary.
Zhao Gang looked at Wang Fang, who surprisingly could not respond. After all, they had been "old friends" for many years. How could Wang Fang not know much about him? Wang Fang had heard yesterday that Zhao Gang was hired by the Yuanda Group, which was recruiting. The Yuanda Group, yet another Fortune Global 500 company. Fortune Global 500, to hell with the Fortune Global 500. I have alchemy, which is stronger than anything else.
At that time, the night was dark and windy, the alley was deep, and there were many people. Zhao Gang could not clearly identify who had acted, and knowing he was in the wrong, the matter ultimately ended without resolution. After this incident, Zhao Gang seemed to have become much more honest, and thereafter, there were no further grievances.
"Listen carefully." Wang Fang walked to the center of the crowd and began to speak: "There were two people from our place who went traveling to another city. At night, they stayed in a hotel. The weather was hot, and the air conditioning was not working well, so neither of them could sleep. Bored, A said to B, 'It's so boring, why don't we make a bet?' B replied, 'Sure, what kind of bet?' A said, 'Whoever loses the bet has to take a sip from that spittoon over there, how about that?' B looked over and agreed. So the two made a bet, and as it turned out, A lost. B forced A to drink, and A picked up the spittoon, hesitated for a long time, then steeled himself, and gulped down a sip. " At this point, Wang Fang looked at Zhang Fenglan with a strange smile. "They bet again, but this time A won, so it was B's turn to drink. B picked up the spittoon, looked at A, and downed it in one go, gulp, gulp, gulp, and surprisingly finished it all. Then they made another bet, and A lost again, so B forced A to drink. A picked up the spittoon, hesitated for a long time, then steeled himself, and gulped down a sip. " At this point, Wang Fang looked at Zhang Fenglan with a strange smile. "They bet again, but this time A won, so it was B's turn to drink. B picked up the spittoon, looked at A, and downed it in one go, gulp, gulp, gulp, and surprisingly finished it all. A was puzzled and said to B, 'Brother, you only lost a sip, how did you finish all the phlegm in the spittoon?' B wiped his mouth with his sleeve and replied, 'It's not that I wanted to finish it all in one go, it's just that the phlegm was too sticky, no matter how I bit it, I couldn't break it.' After saying this, B spat it out. " Wang Fang smiled as he looked at Zhang Fenglan and his close friend Zhao Bao, repeating once more. A was puzzled and said to B, 'Brother, you only lost a sip, how did you finish all the phlegm in the spittoon?' B wiped his mouth with his sleeve and replied, 'It's not that I wanted to finish it all in one go, it's just that the phlegm was too sticky, no matter how I bit it, I couldn't break it.' After saying this, B spat it out. " Wang Fang smiled as he looked at Zhang Fenglan and his close friend Zhao Bao, repeating once more. "This phlegm is really too sticky, no matter how I bite it, I couldn't break it."
