"Let's go, change our clothes and hurry home, Mom and Dad are coming back today."
"Um."
The two rode their bikes side by side along the way, not saying much. Song Lang's gaze kept drifting towards Shen Zhifei, and seeing the other's relaxed expression only made his unease grow stronger.
Who could possibly stir such worldly desires in his brother, such an introverted person?
Cheerful and always smiling, careless and impatient, yet also gives a sense of security, and damn well, he's a guy...
Damn, could it be that bastard Meng Fanxing?!
The guy surnamed Meng is a silly guy who laughs non-stop and has a thicker skin than me. As for a sense of security... does Feifei mean a safe appearance?
That certainly fits.
Holy crap, could it really be him?!
Although Shen Zhifei told him that he didn't know the person he liked, he might just be lying to him.
No, Song Lang decided to ask.
"Feifei?" Song Lang called out to Shen Zhifei as they rode their bikes to the apartment building. "Um...you don't have a crush on Xingzi, do you?"
Shen Zhifei turned to look at him, but didn't say anything.
Song Lang's heart skipped a beat: "Let me tell you, he's straight, and you're so pretty, his ugly face doesn't do you any good."
Shen Zhifei smiled genuinely this time, her eyes crinkling into crescents, making the whole world seem softer.
"Guess! If you guess right, I'll give you a lollipop."
Song Lang was extremely depressed.
They all seemed listless and preoccupied at the dinner table.
Shen Lingyu asked him if he was in a relationship. Song Lang subconsciously glanced at Shen Zhifei, who was also staring at him intently.
Song Lang choked for a moment, then quickly shook his head: "No."
This was a very sensible answer on his part, because he received a breakup text message from Anru that very night.
With final exams just two weeks away, even Song Lang, who was at the bottom of his class, would only study for two symbolic days to show respect to the teachers. He was preoccupied with Shen Zhifei's matter and didn't reply to An Ru at all.
School starts next Monday. As soon as he entered the classroom, all his buddies looked at him with pity, bowed deeply to him, and said, "How are you, Brother Lang?" Song Lang looked completely bewildered.
He didn't understand what was going on until he saw Anru walking to the classroom door arm in arm with another boy.
Everyone in the classroom was secretly observing the three people. Everyone knew that Anru's new boyfriend, Gu Fengkai, was Song Lang's mortal enemy.
This is going to be interesting.
Song Lang's face darkened as expected. He tried to ignore Gu Fengkai's smug smile and said to An Ru, "Are you serious?"
Anru walked straight past him without saying a word, and their eyes did not even meet for a moment.
Gu Fengkai walked into the classroom with his hands in his pockets, stood face to face with Song Lang at his desk in the back row, and grinned at him with a cheeky look, "Sorry, buddy."
After saying that, he whistled and walked away, bumping Song Lang's shoulder lightly, and then kicked open the back door of the classroom without any politeness and walked out.
The quiet classroom instantly erupted into chaos. Zhou Sen and Yu Mingtao ran around the desks and chairs, grabbing Song Lang's shoulders on either side, and asked in unison, "Shouldn't we teach that bastard a lesson? How dare he openly cheat on you!"
Song Lang glanced at An Ru's retreating figure, then looked away after a moment and shook his head: "No need."
But just because he wasn't looking to cause trouble didn't mean the other party would let go of this excellent opportunity to show off.
That day, their class and Gu Fengkai's class had the same physical education class. Gu Fengkai and his two henchmen cornered Song Lang alone in the men's restroom on the second floor of the gymnasium.
"You're usually so arrogant, why are you so down today?" Gu Fengkai glanced at Song Lang's crotch and pretended to realize something, "Oh, did you find out you're not up to par and are in a bad mood?"
Song Lang's tone was unfriendly: "What the hell do you mean?"
Gu Fengkai and his two henchmen exchanged glances, then laughed even more unrestrainedly: "It means you're fucking stupid."
Song Lang's handsome brows furrowed, a prelude to his anger.
Gu Fengkai wasn't afraid of him and continued to mock him in a cheeky manner: "What are you pretending for? Someone saw you going to a hotel with Anru last Friday, and what happened? Anru slept with me on Saturday. What does that mean? Big Fatty, you answer that."
The henchman, nicknamed "Big Fatty," grinned, his face trembling with fat: "So that means Brother Kai's skills in bed are way better than some pretentious show-off, huh? Hehehehe..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Fengkai and another henchman burst into laughter, their gazes toward Song Lang clearly filled with provocation and contempt.
Song Lang's face was so gloomy it could drip water.
Gu Fengkai felt offended by Song Lang's sharp gaze. He put one hand in his pocket and stepped forward to stand in front of Song Lang. The two were very close, almost face to face.
He deliberately lowered his voice and said, "You have no idea, Anru was so turned on by me that she cried. She kept clinging to me and wouldn't let go. Tsk tsk, I really feel sorry for you for missing out on such a gem."
Song Lang couldn't listen anymore.
He landed a hook punch on Gu Fengkai's chin, and Gu Fengkai staggered back two steps in pain. Before he could dodge Song Lang's front kick, Song Lang's leg came flying towards his face.
"Damn it, just because you have a penis you think you're so great, huh? You think it's something to be proud of, huh?! Fuck your grandpa!"
Song Lang delivered two swift, consecutive kicks, slamming Gu Fengkai to the ground, unable to get up. His two lackeys were rather cowardly; seeing that Gu Fengkai had no chance to retaliate, they dared not attack, crouching to the side with their heads in their hands, not daring to utter a sound.
Song Lang, still angry, kicked the fat man, straightened his clothes, and went outside.
He had only taken a couple of steps out of the restroom when he suddenly stopped.
