Chapter 138: Chapter 138 Zhang Xiaolei’s Gift

"Investments always involve risks. If you’re feeling uneasy about it, how about I take 60% of the sales revenue?"

Xiao Fei waved his hand dismissively. Investing in a small indie game wasn’t going to cost much anyway.

If Wu Zitao could succeed with this project, Xiao Fei would also reap some decent rewards.

Wu Zitao hesitated repeatedly, then finally gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I did some rough calculations before. If I outsource the parts I’m not good at, like hiring an artist, it’ll take around a hundred thousand or so..."

"I’ll invest three hundred thousand in you. Get better contractors."

"That’s too much!"

Wu Zitao rejected outright without hesitation.

"Brother Xiao, this feels like I’m taking advantage of you. I can’t let that happen."

"Then I’ll take 70% of future revenue."

"Uh..."

Wu Zitao frowned deeply.

He didn’t have much confidence in his indie game—it was hard to even estimate how much it could earn at the end.

Looking at Xiao Fei, Wu Zitao eventually nodded.

"Alright, you’ll take 70%. Also, if your investment ends up going to waste, I’ll try my best to pay you back some of it."

Xiao Fei couldn’t help but laugh at Wu Zitao’s remark.

"Nobody does business like you."

"You keep this up, and once you hit the real world, you’re bound to get eaten alive."

Wu Zitao grinned sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head, "Other people are other people; Brother Xiao, you’re you. We’re dorm brothers—I’d never take advantage of you."

"Alright, since you’ve put it like that, I can’t take advantage of you either. Let’s stick with 60%. Forget 70%."

Xiao Fei glanced around and spotted that Liu Chao had left his computer in the dorm room.

He immediately called Liu Chao, asking if he could borrow the computer.

Liu Chao was thrilled upon hearing that Xiao Fei had returned and casually told him to use it however he liked.

After hanging up, Xiao Fei raised his eyebrows.

"Since it’s rare for us all to be back, how about we fire up a game? The three of us, squad up?"

"Let’s go, let’s go! I’m in!"

"Brother Xiao, has your gaming skill gotten rusty or what?"

Zhang Bo and Wu Zitao jumped into action. Xiao Fei borrowed Liu Chao’s computer and launched the game.

Their battles in the canyon saw them triumph in the end, with Xiao Fei leading his two dormmates and two random teammates to victory.

"Looks like I haven’t lost my touch, huh."

Closing the game triumphantly, Xiao Fei checked the time—it was about time for their class reunion.

The three left the dorm and walked toward the hotpot restaurant that the class representative had announced in the class’s group chat.

Just the thought of hotpot made Xiao Fei purse his lips in distaste.

As a native of Sichuan Province, he was utterly sick of hotpot. Besides, ever since leaving Sichuan Province, apart from the flavor he could find in Mountain City, the hotpot elsewhere just didn’t satisfy him.

Even though Shanghai was an international metropolis, which naturally had authentic chefs from Sichuan Province, for some reason the local Sichuan cuisine still lacked that proper taste—maybe due to differences in water quality or environment.

Nevertheless, classmates from other regions were brimming with enthusiasm.

Liu Yue had reserved seating in the hotpot restaurant’s main hall; after all, with thirty or forty people attending, there was no way a private room could accommodate everyone.

Upon entering the hall with Zhang Bo and Wu Zitao, Xiao Fei immediately heard Liu Yue’s voice: "Handsome Xiao, over here!"

Liu Yue, a bit on the heavier side, always wore a warm and welcoming smile.

Following Liu Yue’s shout, many classmates turned their heads. Upon seeing Xiao Fei, a wave of playful jeering erupted.

"The real winner of our class has finally arrived, huh?"

"Long time no see!"

"Brother Xiao, why didn’t you bring Teacher Tang along?"

Taking a seat at an empty spot, Xiao Fei replied, "She’s busy at home watching the kid. Usually, I look after them, but since we’re all here, someone’s got to babysit!"

Liu Yue immediately grew curious.

"Didn’t you hire a nanny?"

"It’s more reassuring to handle it personally."

The others nodded in vague understanding, though, being students themselves, they didn’t have much of an emotional connection to such matters.

At that moment, Xiao Fei noticed something odd.

Zhang Bo kept sneaking glances at Liu Yue.

"Taozi, what’s the deal with Zhang Bo? Doesn’t he have a girlfriend?"

He’d heard from Liu Chao and Wu Zitao that Zhang Bo was dating someone, and Xiao Fei had been meaning to arrange a casual gathering so he could meet her. But that chance hadn’t materialized.

Wu Zitao chuckled knowingly.

"You’re out of the loop—this is a real rollercoaster ride..."

As Wu Zitao laid things out, Xiao Fei finally understood what had happened.

Turns out Zhang Bo’s girlfriend had been caught being someone else’s mistress.

It was Liu Yue who uncovered the situation.

As the class rep, and out of responsibility toward her classmates, Liu Yue didn’t let her anger cloud her judgment.

Rather than confronting Zhang Bo directly about it—which could cause hostility—she guided him subtly, step by step, to discover the truth about his girlfriend on his own.

In the end, Zhang Bo broke up with his girlfriend and sank into a slump for several days. During that time, it was Liu Yue who kept him company.

Yet surprisingly, after Zhang Bo got over the heartbreak, he developed romantic feelings for Liu Yue, a slightly chubby girl.

The revelation left Xiao Fei stunned.

"Bozi’s still conflicted—wants to confess but doesn’t dare, scared of getting rejected by our class rep."

"So lately, he’s been helping the class rep with anything and everything. The class rep just thinks Bozi had some sudden epiphany about serving his classmates, ha-ha-ha..."

Wu Zitao chuckled helplessly.

Objectively speaking, Liu Yue wasn’t conventionally attractive.

But her personality was truly exceptional.

Whether as a friend or girlfriend, she was undoubtedly a great choice.

"This is something Bozi needs to figure out himself; we shouldn’t interfere."

Xiao Fei shook his head. "But isn’t Bozi’s family pretty loaded? Why’d his ex end up being someone’s mistress? What was she thinking?"

"Who knows?"

"Honestly, seeing all this messy drama has made me afraid of relationships. Too scary."

Wu Zitao gulped down a mouthful of beer.

At that moment, a timid voice suddenly spoke from behind Xiao Fei.

"Xiao... Xiao Fei..."

Turning his head, Xiao Fei saw none other than Zhang Xiaolei—the girl who had received donations last time.

"What’s up?"

"Um... Xiao Fei, thank you for your help earlier. This is something my grandma wanted me to give you..."

She shyly handed Xiao Fei a small bag.

After a moment’s thought, Xiao Fei decided he’d better accept it—otherwise, Zhang Xiaolei, being rather stubborn, might cause unforeseen issues.

So he smiled and took the gift, opening it to find some homemade dried fruits.

Zhang Xiaolei had prepared these long ago, but Xiao Fei hadn’t returned to school in a while.

She hadn’t wanted to bother him with a special trip just to give him such a small token, which was why she’d waited until today.

"These aren’t anything fancy... Please don’t mind it, Xiao Fei... I’m working hard now, and soon I’ll..."

"Didn’t I tell you?"

Xiao Fei interrupted her. "No rush in paying me back. Just wait till you graduate and find a steady job, then we’ll talk. Your dad’s better now, right?"

"Yes, my dad’s doing much better and is working again."

Bringing this up made Zhang Xiaolei smile brightly.
