Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 429 - 429 424 Really Disgusting

Chapter 429: Chapter 424 Really Disgusting Chapter 429: Chapter 424 Really Disgusting After Labor Day, time flew by, and before we knew it, the semester was about to end.

After the exams, Mu Jiawen and her dormmates went out for a dinner party.

All the girls liked hot pot, so they ended up at the usual place.

They bumped into Dai Lei, Jin Dapang, and Tian Xiaohui at the school gate, and both groups stopped to say hi.

Jin Dapang said to Ding Yuanyuan, “How about we head back next Tuesday? I’ve been busy these past two days, sorting out the computers that the graduates sent to old Dai.”

“Sure, I can take the chance to shop around and buy some local specialties to bring back.”

“Buy away, no matter how much you buy, the car can handle it.”

Ding Yuanyuan rolled her eyes, “How much can I buy? Do I look as rich as you, dummy?”

Jin Dapang let out a silly chuckle. His triple chin had slimmed down to a double chin, and because he’d been running back and forth moving computers lately, he also started controlling his portions at meals. In three months, he had surprisingly lost forty pounds.

He didn’t know if others had noticed the change, but he was aware that his pants had become loose, his thighs no longer rubbed against each other when he walked, and he didn’t feel out of breath when he squatted anymore. In short, without those forty pounds, he felt comfortable everywhere.

This encouraged him, and he decided to keep going and lose another forty pounds.

After the three guys left, everyone but Mu Jiawen failed to notice anything unusual, but Liang Yujun and Sha Yali both turned their gaze to Ding Yuanyuan.

“What?”

Ding Yuanyuan was puzzled and didn’t forget to urge them, “Let’s move quickly so we don’t lose the good spots.”

As vacation was approaching, many students went out to dine, especially at places like hot pot and barbecue restaurants, where one could easily wait for an hour if they were a step late.

Liang Yujun adjusted her glasses on the bridge of her nose and cleared her throat, “Yuanyuan, the way you and Dapang talk to each other is so natural.”

“Shouldn’t it be?” Ding Yuanyuan looked confused. “Even if we weren’t from the same hometown, we all know each other so well. Should I be nervous talking to him? It’s not like he’s Andy Lau.”

Well… that seemed to make sense.

But Liang Yujun and Sha Yali still felt something was off. It was like… Yes, Ding Yuanyuan’s tone and demeanor when she put down Dapang was similar to how their mothers would scold their fathers!

Right, that was the feeling.

But it was clear that neither of them had noticed this peculiarity, perhaps they were also unaware of their own attitudes toward each other.

The girls exchanged glances, but they couldn’t be sure whether their guess was right or not. After all, they hadn’t been in a serious relationship before, no experience, right?

As for the one among them with experience… they glanced at Mu Jiawen, who was ahead, discussing what dishes to order with Ding Yuanyuan. Forget it, asking her would be as good as not asking at all.

….

Meanwhile, Dai Lei and the other two guys just grabbed a simple bowl of noodles and then headed to the repair department.

Once they were there, they saw a bunch of students with their computers waiting at the door.

Some were graduates wanting to sell their computers, others had just found the time to come for repairs. In short, the three of them got busy right away and didn’t stop until two hours later when they took a break.

Dai Lei grabbed a bottle of mineral water and gulped down most of it in one go. No sooner had he put the bottle down than his phone rang.

He pulled it out and, seeing the caller ID, couldn’t help frowning.

“Her again?”

Tian Xiaohui knew by his expression that the woman had started looking for him again, and with ill intent, he extended his hand. “Don’t want to take it, huh? I can take it for you.”

Dai Lei gave him a scornful look and stood up with the phone to go outside.

“Hello?”

“Dai Lei, have you finished your exams yet?”

“Yeah, they’re over.”

“Then are you coming home in the next couple of days? I was thinking… we should meet up.”

If this had been last year, Dai Lei would have been eager to rush back. But now, he simply didn’t want to.

“I’ve got stuff to do here, can’t go back for now.”

There was silence on the other end, and after a long while, the voice asked, “Dai Lei, are you mad at me?”

Truth be told, among all of Jiang Yan’s friends that Dai Lei knew, he was the most patient one, and he had a good temperament and personality too. But now, facing an old classmate, someone he once fancied, his face couldn’t hide a hint of impatience.

“Haven’t I already told you? I’m not mad at you, I’m genuinely busy.”

“So the reason you aren’t sending me stamps anymore is also because you don’t have time?”

There it was again.

Dai Lei restrained his temper and explained, “Du Fei, collecting stamps is your hobby, not mine. I’m not obligated to keep buying stamps for you, understand?”

“…Sorry, my bad.”

“Is there anything else? If not, I’m hanging up.”

There was no more sound from the other end, but the call wasn’t disconnected either. Dai Lei was running out of patience and was about to hang up when Du Fei spoke again, “Did you hear about that thing?”

Dai Lei: “???”

“Gao Jie is right here in Beijing at the School of Communication. You two must have seen each other, right? You know that Gao Jie asked me to give you a letter, but I never did, you found out about it, didn’t you?”

Dai Lei opened his mouth, feeling a rush of emotions, yet in the end, he kept his silence, saying nothing at all.

And the more he stayed silent, the more Du Fei thought he knew everything, so she just went ahead and spilled the beans in an act of abandon.

“Gao Jie has a crush on you. She asked me to give you a letter on the day our college entrance exams ended. It was a love letter, and she wrote it exceptionally well. She managed to express her feelings in just a few sentences, but still quoted classics and used all kinds of literary devices. All I can say is, truly fitting for a humanities prodigy. But the pity was, I burned the letter after reading it. Though I told her I had given it to you, the next day, I went to the movie theater on Wattz Street and saw her standing at the entrance alone, waiting for you. Of course, you never showed up, and seeing the look of disappointment on Gao Jie’s face, I was thrilled…”

Dai Lei was almost nauseated hearing this. He finally understood why, even though she had no interest in him, she still called repeatedly after he stopped sending her stamps. The questions weren’t for a response but to continue flaunting in front of Gao Jie.

Every time he mailed them, she probably bragged to Gao Jie, blatantly telling her, look, the guy you like has a crush on me, and I’m not interested in him, but he still shamelessly sends me stamps, what can I do about it?

Thinking of this, a fire surged in Dai Lei’s heart. He interrupted Du Fei coldly, “Everyone thought you and Gao Jie were good friends, but you… you’re just disgusting. Du Fei, as a person, you couldn’t even compare to the tip of Gao Jie’s pinky.”

After saying this, Dai Lei hung up the call and deleted the number from his contacts.

Having done this, he let out a heavy sigh. What the hell was this all about?

Turning back to the repair shop, Tian Xiaohui and Jin Dapang were squeezed in front of the desktop computer, looking at something. Strangely enough, both their faces were slightly red, their eyes wide open, filled with both excitement and a tinge of shyness, and they kept sneakily glancing towards the door. Upon seeing him enter, Tian Xiaohui’s first reaction was to put his hand on the mouse.

Damn it, those two bastards were looking at that website again.
