Chapter 315: Look Forward
Propping up the drunk Luo Wenjie as they walked on campus, this guy suddenly shouted that he wanted to go to the female dormitory to find Liu Qianqian.
Ma Xiaoshuai looked helpless.
"Brother, don't embarrass yourself. Going to the girls' dorm like this, are you looking to be laughed at?"
Chen Fan also chimed in amusingly, "You forgot Liu Qianqian and Li Jiao are roommates. Going there now, are you looking to die?"
But Luo Wenjie was insistent, yelling that he had to find Liu Qian, or he would throw a drunken tantrum if not allowed to go.
Seeing that he couldn't be restrained, Ma Xiaoshuai looked at Chen Fan with resignation.
"What do we do now?"
"Let him go. It's not us who will be embarrassed anyway."
So the two accompanied Luo Wenjie to the base of the female dormitory building.
Since exams were over, students had already started leaving school today.
Looking up from below, about a third of the dorm rooms still had their lights on, with many people still awake this late.
Luo Wenjie, however, didn't care about that and staggered over, taking out his phone to make a call when he arrived.
But the phone only rang once before being hung up.
Chen Fan and Ma Xiaoshuai couldn't help but laugh.
"She's clearly not willing to see you. Let's go back."
But Luo Wenjie refused to give up and kept dialing.
This time, it prompted that the other party had turned off their phone.
Annoyed, Luo Wenjie looked up unsteadily and began searching for Liu Qianqian's room.
"Liu Qianqian. Liu Qianqian from dorm 326, come down for a bit."
His shout echoed, and several dorm rooms on the upper floors had their lights turn on.
Not a few girls in thin sleepwear and nightgowns ran out to the balconies to watch the commotion.
Luo Wenjie standing below didn't care, straining his voice to call Liu Qianqian's name.
Then he started rambling drunkenly, self-criticizing that he was wrong, cursing himself for not being human, while begging for forgiveness and another chance.
After talking until he was too tired to stand, he ended up sitting on the ground, mumbling reminiscences about their past.
Chen Fan and Ma Xiaoshuai stood far away, ignoring this ridiculous behavior.
"Quick, look, fifth floor from the left, the third balcony over, there's a girl in a pink see-through lace nightgown, really hot!"
Ma Xiaoshuai was excitedly pulling Chen Fan's arm, pointing upwards.
"I bet she's wearing the Millennium Blue Lace Pure Cotton Classic from Dushi Lipu Underwear."
Chen Fan stood by, an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth, giving Ma Xiaoshuai a fist-and-palm salute.
"I'm impressed, I'm impressed. With this lighting, seeing that clearly from this distance. You really are an old mother cow that can't calve—utterly amazing."
Ma Xiaoshuai accepted Chen Fan's praise.
"Yeah, these years I've relied on these discerning eyes to discover life's beauty...Oh, look! Third floor, there's a girl who seems to be nude..."
Chen Fan suddenly spoke up, "Song Linlin's coming down."
Ma Xiaoshuai turned in fright, scanning everywhere, before realizing Chen Fan was tricking him.
Ma Xiaoshuai looked at Chen Fan with grievance, "Brother, you'll lose a friend this way."
Chen Fan grinned teasingly, "You and Song Linlin are so close, I trust you won't cheat on her, so why do you enjoy looking at beauties so much?"
"That's what you say."
"You mean you don't like looking?"
Ma Xiaoshuai glanced at Chen Fan: "Brother, it's a joy of life, you understand?"
"If you dare say you don't enjoy looking at beauties, then you're just a pure hypocrite."
Chen Fan pondered for two seconds, then nodded.
"You make a fair point."
Just as the two were squinting to scope out beauties, Song Linlin really did come down from upstairs.
Ma Xiaoshuai immediately trotted over.
"Why did you come down? You should have put on more clothes."
Saying that, he took off his jacket and draped it over Song Linlin.
Song Linlin looked at the two with some resignation.
"Why did you bring him here?"
Chen Fan shook his head wryly, pointing at Luo Wenjie who was sitting on the ground, head lowered and still mumbling to himself.
"Look at him, does it seem like he would listen to us?"
"But you still shouldn't let him shout nonsense here. Isn't that just causing trouble?"
Ma Xiaoshuai smiled sheepishly, holding his girlfriend's little hand.
"Dear, what's the situation in your room? You guys didn't get into a fight, did you?"
Song Linlin first glared at Ma Xiaoshuai, then angrily looked at Luo Wenjie beside them.
"We didn't actually come to blows."
"But the two-year friendship in our room is gone today."
"Li Jiao hasn't returned since finishing her exams. Ever since Qianqian came back from the boys' dorm this afternoon, she's been crying non-stop..."
"It's all his fault!"
Song Linlin glared fiercely at Luo Wenjie, then muttered vexedly again.
"And Li Jiao too, how could she do this?"
"How can we all live as roommates from now on?"
Chen Fan shook his head with a smile, "With this incident, I guess she won't be staying in the dorm anymore."
Song Linlin looked up doubtfully, "If not the dorm, where will she go? And if not the dorm, won't she be afraid of dorm inspections and deductions?"
Chen Fan: "It'll be our third year when we come back from summer break. Do you think they'll still inspect third-year dorms?"
Song Linlin froze for a moment, then huffed angrily, "Anyway, the four of us won't forgive Li Jiao for this."
Ma Xiaoshuai grinned wryly, pointing at Luo Wenjie beside them.
"Look at him now. Why don't...we have Liu Qianqian come down to see him?"
Song Linlin glanced upstairs, "Let him give up that thought. I came down to tell you, Qianqian said to hurry up and take him away. She never wants to see him again."
"I've delivered the message, I'm going back up now."
With that, she handed the clothes back to Ma Xiaoshuai and turned to go back to the dorm building.
Ma Xiaoshuai followed behind, calling out, "Hey dear, are you taking the morning train? I'll drive you..."
Chen Fan walked over and looked at the slumped Luo Wenjie, still mumbling away nonstop.
Chen Fan kicked his leg.
"Enough. Get up now. She said she doesn't want to see you."
"Let's go. No point staying here."
Luo Wenjie looked up at Chen Fan, his eyes seeming to have lost focus.
After a long while, he finally exhaled deeply, then rubbed his reddened eyes hard with both hands.
"I...I thought she would at least come down to see me."
"Even if we couldn't be lovers, we could still be friends. I never thought she would leave me, I never thought her heart could be so cruel."
Chen Fan scoffed. "You totally deserved this."
"You did something wrong yourself, yet you still hoped she would forgive you?"
"If I were Liu Qianqian, I would have stabbed you twice long ago."
Luo Wenjie pulled himself up from the ground, seeming to have sobered up considerably.
He looked up at the dorm building in front of him.
"I would rather she stab me twice..."
Seeing this guy leaving in such a lost daze, Chen Fan guessed Luo Wenjie's feelings for Liu Qianqian were not entirely gone.
It was just that Luo Wenjie never expected Liu Qianqian to cut him off so decisively and completely.
Not even giving him a chance to apologize.
"Ah well, things have come to this point, so we can only look forward."
