CHAPTER 999: CHAPTER 575: STILL GOING OR NOT? (PART 2)

At this moment, he was settling the bill for a female student.

Currently, mobile payments weren’t popular, it was all cash, so when giving change, physical contact was common.

Dong Qingfeng clearly saw that the man took the chance while giving change to discreetly touch the female student’s hand, startling the girl who quickly withdrew her hand, as frightened as a little quail.

The male shop assistant’s face showed a hint of smug satisfaction.

Physical contact was inevitable when giving change, so taking advantage of it was hard to pinpoint, he didn’t face any trouble at all.

’You’re despicable, despicable!’ Dong Qingfeng was furious, wishing he could slap the man.

Finished taking advantage of the girl, the male shop assistant continued his work. He didn’t take advantage of just anyone but specifically chose those slightly above-average, seemingly very honest girls, one touch was a sure hit.

Having witnessed the scene firsthand, Dong Qingfeng, who swore to protect all beautiful girls in the world, was provoked:

’You have chosen the path to your death!’

If he had high combat power, Dong Qingfeng guaranteed he would have dragged the man out from behind the counter and taught him a lesson, too bad!

At this moment, he began to envy Jiang Ning. If Jiang Ning saw this scene and was willing to act, he would definitely beat the guy up so badly he’d be looking for his teeth on the ground.

Dong Qingfeng secretly decided that once he returned to the class, he would report to the homeroom teacher and deal with this vile, despicable man, making him pay the price.

Dong Qingfeng couldn’t bear to watch anymore; for him, this was no less than a torture.

He turned his head and walked toward the supermarket door, Jiang Yanan urged: "Don’t rush, let’s wait for Zhao Qianqian!"

Dong Qingfeng was skeptical: "What’s he going to do?"

Lu Qiqi crossed her arms, posing as if watching a show, "Just watch."

Thus, Dong Qingfeng stopped, found a spot, and observed the situation.

In sight, Zhao Qianqian bought a black hairpin and walked up to the male shop assistant.

When encountering male classmates, the shop assistant acted professionally, swiftly giving Zhao Qianqian her change.

At that moment, Zhao Qianqian extended his hand, grabbed the shop assistant’s hand, earnestly kneading it, and even lightly brushed her pinky in his palm, releasing a teasing signal.

Dong Qingfeng swore he saw the male shop assistant’s face turn green.

Beside him, Lu Qiqi laughed hysterically.

The male shop assistant broke free from Zhao Qianqian’s hand, his face filled with shock, then met Zhao Qianqian’s subtle coquettish glances.

...

Ten minutes later, on the way back to class, Dong Qingfeng, carrying a bag of snacks, distanced himself by several paces from Zhao Qianqian.

To torture the male shop assistant, Zhao Qianqian bought one item at a time, checked out with him each time, and eventually, the shop assistant, his face green, took the day off.

Only then did Zhao Qianqian stop.

Jiang Yanan awkwardly said: "Zhao Qianqian, you’re really, you’re really so..."

She faltered several times, ultimately unable to find a word to describe Zhao Qianqian.

Lu Qiqi: "You’re too bold!"

Zhao Qianqian, stretching his sharp voice: "Let’s see if he dares to show up for work tomorrow!"

Dong Qingfeng remained silent, guessing that the shop assistant had been traumatized by Zhao Qianqian.

...

Close to class time, Duan Shigang was pondering how to warn his greened comrade.

At that moment, Meng Zi Yun and Cao Kun walked past his seat, casting him a sympathetic glance, full of pity.

Duan Shigang found it strange, damn, why are they looking at me with that expression?

A while later, Yang Sheng, chewing gum, also passed by, giving him a similar pitiful glance, and said in contrast to others:

"I’ll assign you more tasks today, numb yourself."

Duan Shigang: ’Damn, what the hell is going on?’

Soon, he learned the truth because many classmates were gossiping about his girlfriend running off with someone else.

Not only gossiping, but they also occasionally glanced back at him.

Duan Shigang unwilling: ’Damn it, where the hell did I get a girlfriend!’

...

Nighttime, Sister Ma’s Barbecue.

Duan Shigang, small merchant Shen Xu, sly Ge Hao, good sister Gong Xuan, rebellious girl Qiu Die, good brother Deng Xiang, gathered here.

In November, the weather was cool, and eating barbecue outdoors was a pleasure.

During dinner, Deng Xiang occasionally glanced at Pei Yujing in a school uniform, helping with serving not far away.

She was still so pretty, with a cold face, a figure like a willow, long hair fluttering, hanging down to a slim waist.

The little rebel Deng Xiang once dated was far off in terms of temperament compared to a girl like Pei Yujing from the experimental class.

"Brother Xiang, stop looking, you’ve lost your soul." teased Qiu Die, with dyed yellow hair.

Deng Xiang withdrew his gaze, his demeanor slightly depressed, now wasn’t the compulsory education stage of middle school; back then, however tough you were, if I, Deng Xiang, fancied you, I could still approach you shamelessly and have you wrapped around my finger.

Back in Iron Middle School, Xue Yuantong excelled in academics, yet still obediently helped write assignments for his subordinate, Qiu Die, right?

Dare to resist a little, see what happens?

Deng Xiang had all the means to deal with it.

But now it’s different, high school had thresholds, and they could even expel students.

At Yu Zhou Fourth Middle School now, what mattered was grades, looks, and money, not just fooling around.

At the start of school that time, Deng Xiang led people to charge Class 8, only to be brutally beaten by Jiang Ning, more than a year has passed now, he hasn’t dared to take revenge.

’Times have changed, my era has ended...’

The arrogance and unruliness back in Iron Middle School were all gone, only compromise remained.

Last time, Deng Xiang discussed with the brothers how to pursue Pei Yujing, deciding to follow the now-popular method of asking for QQ, first chatting online, then launching an offensive.

But before he could even finish speaking, he was rejected outright.

Deng Xiang was gloomy for several days, but today, his mood was much better, he raised a glass of beer, looking at Duan Shigang:

"Gangzi, we’ve heard about your thing, I can only say, my condolences!"

Beside him, Ge Hao also raised his glass: "My condolences! Don’t be sad over a woman, as they say, ’When you’re down, she won’t accompany, when you rise again, who will she be!’"

Duan Shigang’s mouth twitched, defending: "Guys, I really haven’t been greened!"

Saying this, he glanced several times at Shen Xu.

Shen Xu drank his beer: "Gangzi, I know you’re not feeling well about this, it’s not something you air publicly, let’s not talk about it today, words are all in the drink!"

"Tonight, I’ll treat everyone to karaoke!" he waved his hand.

Even though Shen Xu’s mobile phone rental empire was shut down by the school, he firmly believed he would have the chance to rise again sooner or later.

He had savings, a karaoke session didn’t mean much.

Qiu Die clapped: "Brother Xu is chivalrous!"

Duan Shigang looked at the ambitious Shen Xu, hesitated to speak.

Shen Xu comforted: "Gangzi, I’m telling you, women, once you have money, they won’t be lacking, just like my current girlfriend, to be honest, I think her figure is average."

Despite the words, Shen Xu felt quite self-satisfied inside; his girlfriend was an unreachable experimental class student!

He usually took great care of her; back when Miao Zhe from Class 8 bumped into his girlfriend, Shen Xu would rather give up the Class 8 market than fight Miao Zhe over it.

He continued boasting, loudly: "Hey, to be honest, I’m tired of dating my girlfriend, planning to switch to another soon."

Duan Shigang caught onto this statement and immediately said: "Really?"

"Could it be fake?" Shen Xu took another lamb skewer.

Duan Shigang stopped hesitating, he started speaking: "Good for you to have that realization, just today, I saw her holding hands with another guy, didn’t know how to bring it up with you."

He lit up his screen, opened the photo gallery: "Here, I specifically took pictures of her holding hands with someone else."

Shen Xu saw the photo and froze instantly.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, Ge Hao said: "Brother Xu, don’t be upset, ’When you’re down, she won’t accompany, when you rise again, who will she be!’"

Deng Xiang: "Hang in there, brother, hang in there!"

The double blow of career and love was unbearable for anyone, yet in his heart, there was a sense of schadenfreude, after all, Shen Xu had repeatedly flaunted his experimental class girlfriend before.

Only Gong Xuan, who hadn’t participated in the chat, with a butterfly tattoo on her arm and wearing shell earrings, weakly asked:

"Well... are we still going to karaoke later?"
