Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 184 - 184 181 Feeling Relaxed All Over

Chapter 184: Chapter 181: Feeling Relaxed All Over Chapter 184: Chapter 181: Feeling Relaxed All Over Because she’d swung too hard, Song Jiawen’s entire arm had gone numb after delivering that slap, making her feel rather hard done by.

She’d hurt her own hand smacking a jerk.

She turned and quickly grabbed the coffee and small plate from her desk, first splashing the remaining half-cup of coffee onto Zhou Zihao’s face, then raising the plate high and “smashing” it down onto his head, shattering it instantly, all the while muttering, “You pervert, take that for being a pervert…”

The struck Zhou Zihao hadn’t even managed to react yet, his head spinning, seeing nothing but Song Jiawen’s exquisitely beautiful face and the crisp sound of her fair hand striking his face. Beyond that, he heard nothing.

Seeing this spectacle, the other patrons of the café cast strange looks at Zhou Zihao.

There was no helping it, looks were everything. With Song Jiawen’s face, if she called someone a pervert, then they undoubtedly were one. As for why they were sitting at different tables and acting inappropriately… that wasn’t important!

As the sound of the plate smashing on his head echoed once more, Ding Yuanyuan and Sha Yali snapped out of their daze. Seeing that their coffee and plates had also disappeared, now broken over Zhou Zihao’s head, they hurriedly got up in a panic, each grabbing one of Song Jiawen’s arms.

This was serious, were you trying to kill someone?

“Calm down, Jiajia…”

“Calm down, Jiajia…”

The plate was too small; Song Jiawen hadn’t felt satisfied with her smashing. There wasn’t even blood on his head, could this even count as hitting someone?

By this time, Zhou Zihao had come to his senses as well. He first felt his half-face that was burning from the slap and wiped the coffee off his face. Then, as fury surged through him with shards of the broken plate still on his head, he stood up, glaring at Song Jiawen, “You’re crazy…”

“Smack!”

Liang Yujun immediately stood up and delivered a slap to him as well, her eyes behind her glasses piercing with rage, wishing she could tear him to pieces.

Having his left cheek slapped twice in short succession, Zhou Zihao was even more enraged. It wasn’t just about the pain anymore, it was about his pride! He lifted his hand, intending to hit back, but Ding Yuanyuan let out a low exclamation and quickly let go of Song Jiawen, ready to come help.

Suddenly, two guys stepped forward. One of them grabbed Zhou Zihao’s raised arm, while the other stood beside Liang Yujun and Song Jiawen, tilting his head to ask, “Do you need help, junior?”

Zhou Zihao:…..

Haven’t you already helped? And, hey, look carefully, I’m the one being hit.

Unexpectedly, Song Jiawen nodded emphatically, “Yes!”

She then pointed at Zhou Zihao, “He used chasing after my roommate as an excuse, then borrowed money from her and never paid it back. Just now, he was harassing me… senior, how should we handle this?”

She looked at Yang Boran’s face, finding it very familiar—she had seen him before, but couldn’t remember his name.

But that didn’t matter, ‘senior’ was a universal title.

Yang Boran’s roommate looked disdainfully at Zhou Zihao while holding his arm.

No wonder their department’s junior girl was going mad smashing him with plates. Turns out this bastard was both greedy and despicable, ptui! What a disgrace to their male students.

“Borrowing and not returning is fraud. Add in the harassment, and send him to the school’s disciplinary office.”

Before Yang Boran could speak, a chubby boy next to him sneered at Zhou Zihao, “A person like this doesn’t deserve to be in our university, he’s a disgrace to Beijing University. The school should expel him.”

A Beijing University student harassing someone in broad daylight, this couldn’t stand!

Zhou Zihao’s face turned beet red with rage, and just as he was about to say something, he was drowned out by the students seated in the café, chanting “Expel him.” Seeing the guy holding him seemingly intent on dragging him to the disciplinary office, he hurriedly protested loudly, “I’m not from Beijing University, I’m from the University of Technology, you have no right…”

“Damn! You’re from the University of Technology and you came to our Beijing University to harass someone?”

“Then what’s there to discuss, beat him up!”

Zhou Zihao was dumbfounded…

Just then, Yang Boran raised his hand, and the clamorous voices fell silent in an instant.

He said, “Let’s not be led astray by him; don’t forget what our junior just said—he still hasn’t returned the borrowed money. Whether we beat him up or whatever, shouldn’t we first make him pay back the money?”

“Right, right, right, pay back the money first. Pay it back first.”

“Pah! Swindling money from girls, have you no shame?”

….

In the end, under the intimidation of Yang Boran and a few other boys, Zhou Zihao grudgingly paid for the broken dishes and cups in the café and then took out all the cash he had on him, which totaled 502 yuan.

“Junior sister, how much does he owe you?”

By this point, events had far exceeded expectations. When Yang Boran asked this, Liang Yujun blurted out a number in a daze.

Swindling money in exact and odd amounts, what a scumbag!

“Call your roommate or counselor, and have them bring the money over.”

“Right, otherwise don’t even think about leaving.”

Under the scornful gaze of his peers at Beijing University, Zhou Zihao had no choice but to make a phone call.

The café owner and staff enjoyed the gossip without a hint of stopping the show.

However, perhaps due to Zhou Zihao’s usually poor behavior, not a single roommate or classmate was willing to bring money for him. One of them even shouted over the phone, “1200 yuan? Zhou Zihao, are you crazy? You still haven’t paid back the 500 you borrowed from me, and now you’re borrowing over a thousand… haha, Zhou Zihao, I suggest you give up. She’s a school beauty and a rich girl; you’re out of your league.”

The voice was so loud that Yang Boran and the others standing nearby heard every word clearly.

So he was pretending to be good with their junior sister and then swindled her money to chase after girls at his own school?

This damn…

Seeing no classmates agreeing to bring him money, they glared fiercely at him, “Call your counselor, or we’ll have our school teachers call for you—or we can also call the police. Swindling money and playing the rogue, that’s enough to get you detained.”

Zhou Zihao dared not refuse to call.

An hour later, the counselor from University of Technology arrived with 1200 yuan, handed the money to Liang Yujun, and took Zhou Zihao away.

As for what happened to Zhou Zihao after he left, whether his parents were called or whatnot, that was no longer their concern.

Song Jiawen and the others thanked Yang Boran and the senior students before leaving the café.

Back at school, walking across the campus, Liang Yujun and her friends were still in a daze.

Was the matter… really resolved just like that?

Not only did they make Zhou Zihao repay the money, they also gave him a beating?

Ding Yuanyuan scratched her head, “That’s… Jiajia, how did you start fighting so quickly? I didn’t even catch on.”

Song Jiawen blinked, “When he was talking nonsense to Yujun, should I have just stood by and waited for the New Year? As for reacting quickly, maybe because I’ve been in a fight before.”

Been in a fight?

The kind that smashing dishes alone won’t satisfy?

The others looked at her incredulously, skipping over this topic, and then asked, “But how did you think of shouting ‘playing the rogue’? We weren’t even sitting at the same table. Weren’t you afraid others wouldn’t believe you?”

“Oh, that? I learned it from novels. But they shout ‘indecent assault’ there. Our scene didn’t fit, so I changed it to ‘playing the rogue’. How was it? Effective, right? You saw the seniors believed it.”

Learned from novels?

The three of them twitched their mouths, Ding Yuanyuan sighed, “Effective, but don’t do it again.”

Sha Yali turned to whisper to Liang Yujun, “Next time Zhu Jin comes to our dorm, don’t forget to remind her, let’s stop lending romance novels to Jiajia.”

Liang Yujun nodded decisively, “Don’t worry, I’ll remind her.”

But… she really did feel utterly satisfied now!
