Chapter 51: Even If You Have Complaints, Endure It

After finishing breakfast.

Linda went to the company.

Xu Shaochen drove to the school.

He didn’t head to the classroom first, but instead went straight to the dormitory.

This was because at this hour, Zhou Fan and the other two probably weren’t up yet.

“Bang!”

Xu Shaochen lifted his foot and kicked the dormitory door open, then shouted at the top of his lungs: “Earthquake! Run for your lives!”

He then grabbed the bed and began shaking it vigorously.

“Damn it! What’s going on? How’s there an earthquake? Stop sleeping, get up now! My bed’s shaking! The dorm is collapsing!”

“Run! Old Zhou, I hid five hundred bucks in my closet. Grab it for me!”

“Damn…”

In the blink of an eye, the previously quiet dorm turned into utter chaos. Zhou Fan, Li Qi, and Liu Chao jumped out of bed in such a rush they didn’t even bother with pants.

“Hell, don’t you have anything better to do?”

Seeing Xu Shaochen, all three of them were left speechless. They immediately knew they had been pranked.

“Is that how you talk to your dad? Do you still want your crab dumplings or not?”

Xu Shaochen raised an eyebrow, showing off the breakfast he specifically brought for these three “sons” of his.

“Oh, Dad, it’s all a misunderstanding!”

The three who had just been glaring at Xu Shaochen instantly put on fawning expressions, calling him “Dad” and quickly snatching the crab dumplings from his hands.

They started eating while still in their boxers, as if starved. They nearly came to blows over the crab dumplings.

“You didn’t come back to the dorm the whole weekend. Where’d you go? Share some stories of that luxurious life of yours and let us envy you.” Zhou Fan sat on the edge of his bed, munching on a dumpling as he asked.

“Yeah, and hey, why are you rummaging through the closet? Looking for something?” Liu Chao pressed on, his mouth so full he could barely speak but still kept shoving more food in.

Xu Shaochen glanced at Liu Chao and smiled: “Didn’t you just say you hid 500 bucks in the closet? I figured our lunch today is settled.”

“Oh, hell no! That’s my life savings!” Liu Chao’s face changed instantly, and he lunged forward.

But Zhou Fan and Li Qi were quicker and pinned him down on the bed. They looked at Xu Shaochen and said, “Hurry up and find it! Damn, who knew this guy had a secret stash?”

“Damn… you animals, you’re all animals!” Liu Chao let out a desperate howl as his secret stash was ruthlessly exposed.

In the end, after a unanimous decision by the Dormitory Committee, Liu Chao’s 500 bucks would be used to improve the dining quality for all dorm members.

During the meeting, Comrade Liu Chao gave a significant speech, strongly opposing the decision, but was overruled 3-1.

“By the way, Shaochen, don’t wander off tonight. There’s a dorm mixer.” Zhou Fan said with his mouth full of toothpaste as he brushed his teeth.

Xu Shaochen paused, “A mixer? With which dorm?”

While they called it a dorm mixer, it was essentially a blind date.

“Hehe… All thanks to me. It’s with the music department’s dorm. Four beauties, no less.” Li Qi grinned sleazily, winking at Xu Shaochen.

Xu Shaochen nodded, not particularly surprised. After all, Li Qi always focused on women and usually succeeded. You could say it’s a skill of his.

“Oh yeah, and make sure you don’t wear your branded suit tonight. Otherwise, we three would look like total losers compared to you.” Liu Chao added, looking at Xu Shaochen.

Xu Shaochen was confused, “Is that really necessary?”

“Absolutely!” The three said in unison.

After some more bantering, the four headed off to the classroom.

………

As Xu Shaochen walked into the classroom,

everyone’s eyes were on him.

After all, Xu Shaochen was now something of a celebrity in the class, especially with Goddess Xie being all over him.

There was only one person, Zhang Qingsong, who gritted his teeth, wishing he could swallow Xu Shaochen whole.

Back then, he was the star of the class, thanks to his looks and his position as the vice president of the Student Council.

Everyone thought that Xie Wei might end up with him.

But now? Xu Shaochen had replaced him, becoming the new class star.

What’s more, even Xie Wei, whom he had chased after for so long, ended up in Xu Shaochen’s bed.

This made him hate Xu Shaochen to the bone, but for now, he couldn’t think of a way to take revenge.

“Why are you all staring at me? I know I’m handsome, but why are you guys staring? It’s making me nervous, like I’m getting a chill down… there.”

Xu Shaochen spread his hands, showing a helpless expression.

“Hahaha…”

The classroom, which had been relatively quiet, suddenly erupted in laughter. Praising yourself so shamelessly? Not many people could do that.

“Hmph, show-off!”

Zhang Qingsong snorted disdainfully.

Instantly, the classroom fell silent again, and everyone’s eyes shifted between Xu Shaochen and Zhang Qingsong.

Xu Shaochen walked up to Zhang Qingsong, looked at him with his head tilted, and smiled calmly: “Do you have a problem with me?”

“I…”

“Do you or don’t you?” Before Zhang Qingsong could finish, Xu Shaochen cut him off.

Zhang Qingsong gritted his teeth and said coldly, “So what if I do?”

“If you have a problem, you damn well better keep it to yourself. Don’t act out. If you piss me off, I’ll make you even more miserable. Got it?” As soon as Zhang Qingsong finished speaking, Xu Shaochen shot back.

Zhang Qingsong’s face turned green and then white as he glared at Xu Shaochen, gritting his teeth, “Just because you have a bit of money doesn’t mean you can be so arrogant!”

Xu Shaochen sneered, grabbing Zhang Qingsong by the collar and pulling him close, “Too bad you don’t even have that little bit of money. So why do you think you can be arrogant in front of me? Let me ask, who the hell are you?”

Zhang Qingsong’s face darkened so much it looked like water might start dripping off of him. He didn’t expect Xu Shaochen to have changed so much. In the past, if Zhang Qingsong mocked him, Xu Shaochen would just pretend not to hear.

But today, Xu Shaochen was confronting him head-on, making it hard for him to back down.

“Shaochen.”

At that moment, Xie Wei walked into the classroom, just in time to see the confrontation.

“I’m done talking to you. Waste of time. I’m going to go spend time with my woman.” Xu Shaochen smiled at Zhang Qingsong, gave him a teasing blow of air, and let him go.

Xie Wei glanced at Zhang Qingsong, then looked at Xu Shaochen, “What’s going on?”

“Nothing much, just joking around with Vice President Zhang.” Xu Shaochen pulled her into his arms and sat down.

Zhang Qingsong’s face turned even darker as he watched. Inside, he kept raging and vowed to get his revenge on Xu Shaochen, to make him crawl and beg at his feet.

A bastard who he used to mock and humiliate suddenly got some money and started treating him like he was nothing. It was outrageous!

Unknowingly, his fists were clenched so tight that his knuckles turned white.
