Chapter 300: Chapter 304 Boasting Through the Roof (5)

Since Xiaochuan entered, the wide-open dormitory door did nothing to insulate against noise.

The sounds from dormitory 403 quickly spread out.

At this time, the boys’ dormitory was at its liveliest, with many playing online games, watching movies, or livestreams.

Added to this were the hoots and hollers of Cui Jian and Wu Yifan, which immediately caught the attention of the entire building.

Many of the boys, wearing slippers and shorts, came out of their dorms to see what was going on.

The entrance of 403 was crowded, with everyone straining their necks to peer inside.

Xiaochuan, usually busy working part-time jobs to earn money, didn’t have much to do with his classmates, let alone a close friend at the university.

And now, the disadvantages of that were apparent.

His face bruised and swollen from Xin Yue’s beating, there were many spectators, but none willing to step in and stop it.

It was Xin Yue himself who felt it was enough and stopped.

Because of the commotion, the dorm became a complete mess.

Xin Yue was accustomed to certain standards and this environment was too much of a compromise for him to spend the night.

Straightening his clothes, Xin Yue stood up and waved his arm grandly, "Let’s go, let’s team up at the internet café outside... Anyone who wants to come, I’m treating."

Cui Jian and Wu Yifan happily raised their hands first.

The smell emanating from Xiaochuan’s bed was unbearably foul, and they did not want to spend their night in the dormitory smelling it.

The other classmates, who were just enjoying the gossip, had their attention instantly captured by Xin Yue’s invitation.

After all, boys are more passionate about gaming.

Xiaochuan, lying on the ground limp like a dead dog, was soon ignored by everyone.

Gasping for air, he lay flat on his back in the shape of a "big character," bearing the pain all over his body, pulling out an old-fashioned senior citizen’s phone from his pocket.

After turning it over in his hands a few times, the number he knew by heart was still not dialed.

Although his girlfriend was the person he missed the most at the moment, after thinking it over, he chose not to worry her.

Gathering enough strength to get up from the floor, seeing that his bed had been deliberately trashed, he realized it was impossible to sleep on it.

Thinking that the people from his dorm wouldn’t be back for the night, Xiaochuan closed the door and simply lay on the floor for the night.

Early the next morning, without any classes, he still had to rush to a part-time job.

Despite feeling terrible, he dared not call out sick; otherwise, his source of income for the month would be gone.

Xiaochuan was unaware that last night’s argument had already become a hot topic on University City’s BBS.

It was unknown which classmate had spiced up the gossip between Xiaochuan and Xin Yue and written it up there.

Due to Zihan and Xin Yue being well-known not only in their own university but also in several nearby ones,

Zihan was famed for her beauty. Although she attended a second-tier university, her beauty ranked her among the top beauties in University City, tied for the third place with the belle of the Music Academy on the University City Beauty List.

And Xin Yue was popular purely because he was extravagant and generous.

He was willing to spend money and was especially considerate towards girls.

He also loved hosting parties, and his band of friends extended from his own school to other institutions, with quite a following.

The boys admired his generosity, while the girls were captivated by his show of wealth.

The entanglement between such characters was inherently interesting to watch, not to mention the addition of a poor boy who had nothing but his looks.

Human curiosity is endless; as soon as the post went up, all of Wang Xiaochuan’s personal information was dug up thoroughly.

They had expected him to be some impressive character involved with Zihan and Xin Yue, but were utterly disappointed when they actually looked into it.

But none of this stopped people from discussing Wang Xiaochuan.

Among them, some couldn’t resist stirring the pot, and before long, Wang Xiaochuan was known as Bullshit King to everyone who frequented the Internet.

In fact, if you really thought about it, the nickname "Bullshit King" was only slightly distasteful; at worst people teased him playfully and that was it.

But with certain individuals constantly bringing it up, it inevitably tarnished Wang Xiaochuan’s reputation.

And the impact of this incident was far from over.

When Wang Xiaochuan routinely went to his employer’s house to tutor his young son in mathematics, he had barely stepped through the door when he received a thin red envelope from the employer.

"Xiao Chuan, I’ve seen significant improvement in Xiao Zhi’s math lately... You’ve worked hard these past days, and after discussing it with his Daddy, we’ve decided to forgo hiring a tutor for the time being."

Clutching this month’s salary in his hand, as well as a one hundred yuan red envelope, Wang Xiaochuan stood dazed in the corridor, unable to process what had happened.

The dark bruise at the corner of his mouth had faded quite a bit, but it still hurt, though not as much as the chill in his heart.

Everything had been fine, and he couldn’t understand what had gone wrong.

Xiao Zhi’s mother had been extremely satisfied with him just the day before yesterday; Xiao Zhi’s grades had improved a lot, yet there were still many weak areas. He had even compiled those areas into a booklet, which he was ready to give Xiao Zhi tonight.

As long as Xiao Zhi mastered the topics he had compiled, improving to the next level in mathematics wouldn’t be a problem at all.

But unexpectedly...

"Good thing my nephew reminded me, you really can’t judge a book by its cover. Who knew that Wang Xiaochuan, who seems honest and reliable, could actually be so full of hot air."

"When he told us his math score on his college entrance exam was quite good, that’s why I was willing to hire him to teach our Xiao Zhi. Now that I think about it, it could all have been bluster. If his grades were really that good, why did he only attend a second-tier university?"

Through the door, Wang Xiaochuan could still faintly hear Xiao Zhi’s mother speaking loudly inside the room.

"Maybe it’s a misunderstanding. I saw that my son’s recent test results have greatly improved, which proves Wang Xiaochuan is a good teacher."

When her husband objected, Xiao Zhi’s mother, unrelenting, retorted, "My nephew mentioned that the whole school’s forum is buzzing with it. Everyone knows about Wang Xiaochuan’s nickname as Bullshit King... We only have one son, what if he picks up his bad habits... how would we deal with that..."

Seeing his wife getting a bit angry, Xiao Zhi’s father didn’t want to upset her over an unrelated person and quickly placated her with a smile, "Right, right, we’ve decided to let him go, and we’ll find a better tutor for our son tomorrow."

"Mhm, we must be more careful this time. I would rather pay more than hire someone with bad character."

Listening to the conversation slipping through the door’s crack, Wang Xiaochuan left with heavy steps.

He wondered how it had all come to this point where he was seen as someone with bad character.

Thoughtfully considering, he questioned what heinous act he had committed or whose interests he had possibly harmed.
