Chickens and dogs fly in chaos and rebirth

Chapter 125

Just as they were having fun, a few girls walked over and asked in surprise, "Li Changsheng?" Several boys stood up and greeted them as well.

Shanglin looked closely and realized that there was someone he knew.

The most beautiful girl in the English department, known for her sharp tongue at the ball, stood out prominently among the crowd, surrounded by admirers.

When tables and benches are moved together, and a beautiful, unclaimed woman arrives, people naturally flock to her.

Changsheng chatted and laughed with the fat man, but the beautiful girl insisted on sitting next to him. Shanglin, annoyed by Changsheng's loud voice, had deliberately found a quieter spot, which ended up benefiting the department's most beautiful girl. The person who had offered the seat hesitated slightly, glanced at Shanglin, and, seeing the department's most beautiful girl's angry expression, he couldn't care less and had to let her sit down next to Changsheng.

The campus belle is knowledgeable about both ancient and modern times, and is especially interested in sports and e-sports. She can always chime in on whatever Changsheng and others are talking about.

He then boldly pulled Changsheng into a drinking contest, and gradually even the fat man noticed something was wrong, his gaze constantly sweeping over Shang Lin.

Shang Lin smiled, pursing his lips. Who doesn't love watching a show? The beautiful woman's performance was exaggerated and dramatic, a rare sight indeed.

Xia Lin scurried over to his sister, squatted down, and asked, "Sis, aren't you jealous?"

Shanglin asked with a smile, "Does your brother know her?"

Xia Lin was taken aback, observed carefully, and suddenly realized, "No wonder you weren't angry!" He then went back to drink and eat meat with peace of mind.

Li Changsheng didn't recognize her at all. He chatted with some people and drank with others. He probably thought the beautiful woman was someone's girlfriend!

After drinking, his reaction time becomes incredibly slow. Even if a beautiful woman falls on him, he can still gentlemanly help her up and earnestly advise her to be careful, as breaking an arm or leg is no joke.

The most beautiful girl in the department played a few rounds of rock-paper-scissors with the boys, eager to cause trouble. She set her sights on Qiu Shanglin, who was sitting quietly, chatting absentmindedly with the person next to her.

Holding his wine glass, he walked up to her and said, "You're Qiu Shanglin, right? I'm Liu XX from the English Department..."

Shang Lin feigned annoyance, saying, "Ah, hello, hello." A car had just passed by, making a lot of noise, and he couldn't hear Liu's name clearly.

Liu Xihua filled her beer mug with beer, raised it generously, and said, "I toast you!" She then downed it in one gulp. The boys cheered, and the girls who came with her knew what she was thinking and cheered sweetly, all of them having taken a liking to Lin Xihua.

Shanglin doesn't like drinking beer.

That doesn't mean she doesn't like drinking.

She had a good capacity for alcohol, not as much as Changsheng, but better than Xialin. However, she disliked beer the most, firstly because she hated the taste of it, and secondly because it made her bloated. On the other hand, she could drink a little bit of baijiu, red wine, or champagne.

She had already drunk quite a bit and didn't really want to drink anymore. But not drinking would be disrespectful to Liu Xihua. Disrespecting her wasn't the main issue; the problem was that the other woman was eyeing her intently, as if not drinking would make her a loser.

Shanglin smiled, picked up his wine glass, returned the toast, and drank it all in one gulp.

The boys cheered even louder.

Liu Xihua got excited, poured herself another glass, and stared straight at Shang Lin: "I heard you're Changsheng's girlfriend, I toast you!" She tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp.

Shanglin was unhappy.

What do you mean by "heard of"? What is my relationship with Li Changsheng? Do you need to show me respect?

Giving you face is one thing, but if you keep going on and on, I'm not going to put up with your madness. Beer isn't a tonic, why should I deprive myself of my own stomach to feel guilty about your childish thoughts?

He didn't say anything at the moment, just smiled and ate sunflower seeds, neither refusing nor picking up a wine glass.

Liu Xihua waited for a long time with an empty cup, but there was no response. Furong felt a little embarrassed and asked, "Aren't you going to give me face?"

Shanglin laughed. "I gave you a chance, but you didn't seize it."

He beckoned: "Longevity."

Li Changsheng had been watching this side, and upon hearing this, he came over, moved a small stool and sat down next to her, snatching a handful of melon seeds from her palm and cracking them open.

Liu Xihua's expression darkened further.

Shanglin thought to himself, "Compared to Sun Yihan, your cultivation is far inferior. Even if I could attain immortality, I wouldn't know who you are."

He nudged Li Changsheng: "Your friend, have a drink with him."

Changsheng didn't mind. He just drank it. He picked up her cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Liu Xihua's eyes twitched with anger: "I won't drink with you, I'll drink with Qiu Shanglin—if you don't drink, you're disrespecting me!"

They're getting serious now.

I gave her a disgusted look; I utterly despise people like her who have no sense of propriety. Does she really think she's something special?

He continued eating sunflower seeds slowly and deliberately, without saying a word.

Changsheng was eight-tenths drunk, and he lingered around Shanglin, insisting that she peel melon seeds for him.

Shanglin also had a show in mind, so she deliberately peeled a handful of melon seeds and put them to his mouth. Changsheng took them and ate them, then leaned his head on her shoulder and mumbled in a coquettish tone, "Shanglin, they bullied me. Make them drink, make them drink until they pass out!"

Liu Xihua has never seen anything like this before!

Li Changsheng never acted coquettishly in front of them, let alone this cloying and cringe-worthy intimacy! Her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

Seeing that things were getting out of hand, someone who knew both sides quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Come on, let me toast you. Come on, let's go drink together." He pulled the most beautiful girl in the department who had been standing there for a while away.

Finally, a way out was available, and the most beautiful girl in the department wasn't stupid; she took the opportunity to back down, but she was still unwilling to give up and deliberately said, "What a piece of trash! Acting all high and mighty in front of me—everyone knows you're rotten to the core!"

Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and many people heard it. They all stopped what they were doing and looked at her.

Shanglin asked, "Classmate, what have I done to offend you? You need to have evidence to support your claims, or I'll sue you for defamation."

Before the most beautiful girl in the department could retort, one of the girls who came with her couldn't hold back any longer. With a fiery temper, she kicked over her stool, stood up, and shouted, "Slander my ass! Who do you think you are—you want evidence, huh? Let me tell you, don't think you can hide the despicable things you've done. We've all seen the cars and men waiting for you outside the school every day; it's not just us, all the girls in the school know—you act like a pure, innocent saint in front of the boys, but who knows how many sugar daddies you've had! Your family is from the countryside, your parents don't work, your food and supplies aren't cheap, and look at all those expensive clothes in your closet—do you think we're all fools?!"

Shanglin laughed and nudged Changsheng's head: "Hey, how many sugar daddies do I have?"

Changsheng smiled and, reeking of alcohol, counted on his fingers: "Let me count, one, two, three, four, five... what comes after five?"

Shang Lin raised an eyebrow and looked at the girl who spoke: "Did you hear that? He doesn't mind that I have too many sugar daddies."

The most beautiful girl in the department was furious at his lack of self-respect and rushed up to push Li Changsheng, saying, "Li Changsheng, how can you be so spineless—she's not worth your willing devotion!"

With red eyes, she glared at Shang Lin: "Don't think you can charm everyone!"

Xia Lin swayed and approached, passing in front of the department's most beautiful girl and raising his hand as if to strike her. The girl trembled in fright, but he didn't actually strike. Instead, he dodged and touched his nose.

"Sis, can I borrow your phone?"

Seemingly oblivious to the chaotic situation before him, he grabbed Shanglin's bag and rummaged through it, but couldn't find anything. Changsheng squinted at him, annoyed by his incompetence, snatched the bag away, and with the bottom hanging off, all the contents tumbled to the ground. He then kicked a book to Qiu Xialin's feet.

He pretended to be surprised and picked up a book to flip through it:

"Sis, you've been reading this book on human resource management economics for a month and you still haven't finished it? Oh, what's the author's name again?"

Changsheng answered quickly: "Edward Lazier!"

Xia Lin clapped his hands: "Ding-dong, congratulations on answering correctly!"

Their disregard for the situation infuriated the most beautiful girl in the department and the other girl.

Xia Lin turned around, waved the book, opened the pages, and held up the densely filled notes to the department's most beautiful girl: "Edward Lazier, do you know who he is?"

Facing the crowd, he gave a loud speech: "Edward Lazier, who has been a senior researcher at the Hoover Institution for War, Revolution and Peace since 1985, and also teaches human resources, management and economics at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, has received—" He paused and asked, "Miss, how do you pronounce this English? I'm not educated."

The most beautiful girl in the department stared at him as he leaned closer, dumbfounded by the dense English characters on the book.

Shang Lin said lazily, "He received the Jack Steel Parker Professorship of Honor and Disgrace. He served as the executive editor of the journal 'Labor Economics' and was the president of the Labor Economics Society. He is a leading figure in the field of human resource management—Qiu Xia Lin. I have said before that we should not be obsessed with legends. Some of the content in his book does not conform to the Chinese national conditions and should only be used as a reference."

Xia Lin, having learned a thing or two, looked at the book pages, which were entirely in English after the cover was removed: "You're an English major, right? You can understand this?"

Liu Xihua's face turned bright red from holding back her anger.

He scoffed, "My sister was learning English from the radio before she even started elementary school, and she was earning money to buy me new clothes when she was six. Who do you think you are, questioning whether my sister has any improper income?"

Changsheng seemed to have just woken up from a dream. He suddenly raised his hand and mumbled, "I can testify! Qiu Shanglin has oppressed my brother and me since we were little. I've carried her bags and set up her stall to collect money countless times. She kept saying she'd pay me, but she still hasn't paid me!"

Shanglin grabbed him impatiently: "Go to sleep!"

Xia Lin pressed on, pointing at the most beautiful girl in the department: "My sister has never spent a penny of our family's money since elementary school. My tuition has been paid entirely by my sister since junior high school. Have you ever earned even a single cent on your own? What makes you think she's so worthless? She earns her own money, whether she eats, drinks, plays, or throws it away to watch the show, it's none of your business."

"I eat my sister's food, drink my sister's water, and will support my sister in the future. Where did you guys come from, you short, ugly wretches?"

Shanglin shouted at him, "No personal attacks allowed!"

It turns out the girl who was standing and cursing Shanglin was very short.

The department's most beautiful girl was filled with shame and indignation. She pointed at Xia Lin and couldn't utter a single word for a long time before tears welled up in her eyes, and she ran away sobbing.

As soon as she ran, the other girls who had come with her also tried to run. The girl who had been cursing, "Dandelion," cried out and fell to the ground. She glared fiercely at the fat man and ran away through gritted teeth.

Everyone turned their curious gazes toward the fat man, who shrugged and casually withdrew his foot.

Xia Lin softened her sharp edge and stuck her tongue out at her sister, while Shang Lin smiled indulgently: "Don't always bully the kids. They're young and don't understand."

Xia Lin spat, "I'm even younger!"

In terms of age, none of the people present can compare to him.

Changsheng got drunk and insisted on going home, so Shanglin helped him walk ahead.

Once downstairs, she refused to go back up, afraid that if a lone man and woman saw them, people would gossip. Changsheng rested his head on her shoulder, rubbed against her a few times, and sighed, "It's hard to be a person, it's hard to be a woman, and it's even harder to be a successful woman!"

Shanglin chuckled. She had plagiarized those words, and Changsheng was plagiarism upon plagiarism.

She nudged him: "You know how tough things are for me, and you just stand by and watch me get bullied?"
