Chapter 23: A Great Change After Three Days of Separation

  "Thunder Brother, where are you going?"

  A classmate who was sleeping with a towel on his head until the middle of the afternoon shouted, still dazed, and when he saw Lei Dapeng's eyes lit up, the sleepiness was instantly dispelled by Tianlei Ge's outfit.

  "Go listen to a philosophy lecture."

  Lei Dapeng was so cool, he snapped his fingers and didn't even turn around. The hand that had just snapped his fingers naturally adjusted his suit, revealing Lei's suit to be crisp, his leather shoes shiny, and his hair gleaming with oil, making Simu Xian, who was following behind him, look like a beggar in comparison.

  Now it belongs to this more fearful situation, Shanyu had a nightmare one night and shouted "Sister, you are so beautiful!", while shouting and making mouth noises. In the middle of the night, people were frightened by the sound, and both of them couldn't sleep well. Leida Peng was also abnormal, he was used to being casual, but occasionally being formal like this made others unbearable. From the dormitory door to the stairs, there were three or four greetings, and from the stairs to the building entrance, there were seven or eight more greetings, all teasing Leida Peng about his attire that was comparable to a new groom's. Leida Peng was annoyed, sometimes too lazy to respond, and Simu Xian was immediately questioned by curious classmates, but this matter couldn't be helped, Simu Xian could only muddle through.

  Out of the building, several people from the sports department, including Lao Bao and Chou Jiao, were carrying a ball, apparently preparing to go to the playground to kick it. Originally, Lei Dapeng had already become a stranger, and they weren't speaking to each other, but seeing Lei Dapeng's pretentious appearance, he stopped again. Three or five people looked at each other, Bao Tiegang asked in surprise: "What... are you going to do?"

  "Right? The principal of Luan Institute hasn't changed yet, has he? Rushing to take office?" Stinky feet also chimed in, this guy loves to mock Lei Dapeng.

  "Are you annoyed or not, so many people asking me where I'm going? Tell you, can you understand?" Lei Da Peng was really annoyed, not pretending to be annoyed. He pointed at several people who in his opinion only knew how to kick the ball and didn't understand anything else: "Tell you, philosophy, which one of you understands? Go play by yourselves."

  One sentence that shocked all the brothers in the sports department, everyone knows that Le Dapeng's IQ is only enough to count the money in his own pocket, and when did he become elegant.

  Not only was it elegant, but also awesome. As the voice fell, Lei Ge had an attitude of "I'm going, no matter what". With a flick of his neck, he strode away, leaving everyone in awe. This made him seem like a big shot, and even intimidated the sports department guys. Si Mu Xian lowered his head, trying to leave quickly, but was caught by Lao Bao's iron grip. Looking around in surprise, they were all wearing shorts, so even if Lei Ge wanted to show off, it wouldn't make sense for him to wear a thick suit on such a hot day. So he asked Si Mu Xian quietly: "Old Three, do you think Lei Ge has gone crazy or something? Why is he becoming more and more abnormal?"

  "I'm telling you, you guys really don't get it, he's really obsessed with philosophy. Don't believe me? Go to our dorm tonight and take a look, today he bought several hundred yuan worth of philosophy books. And guess what? He only picked out Feuerbach and Plato, I can barely understand them." Si Mu Xian whispered back, lowering his head, snickering as he walked away, leaving behind a group of stunned guys who couldn't comprehend Lei Da Peng's transformation.

  What's going on, of course, is because of Wang Huating. However, Si Mu Xian knew that rather than saying Le Ge had fallen in love, it would be better to say Le Ge was infatuated with philosophy. Compared to the former, the latter was slightly more acceptable. Laughing, he caught up with Le Da Peng who was walking ahead. Le Ge had already been pretending for a few minutes and his true nature was starting to show. He pulled out a lollipop from his suit pocket, held it in one hand, and sucked on it while humming in appreciation: "So tender!"

  "What are you eating? Can't tell the difference between sweet and tender?" Si Mu Xian smiled and said, men and women have similar symptoms after falling in love, all silly and lovely, Lei Da Peng obviously has a similar tendency.

  "You silly hat, I'm talking about that thigh." Lei Da Peng's eyes were blurry and drooling, his gaze hinting at the girls' dormitory entrance.

  Si Mu Xian took a glance, got it, and knew where the tenderness was. These few days, with the rising temperature, many girls in short skirts and shorts were going in and out of the dormitory. Those plump, white thighs, weren't they tender enough to make people drool? Si Mu Xian looked at Lei Ge who was standing there foolishly, clearly showing signs of spring fever. Lowering his voice, he asked: "Second Brother, I still don't understand how Wang Hua Ting could accept... that, and Second Brother, you?"

  I dare not speak directly, can't say why Wang Huating this party flower likes Er Ge so much, you this pile of cow dung. Lei Dapeng smiled slyly, mysterious and unfathomable. Si Mu Xian still wanted to ask questions, but was interrupted.

  A MINI car with a fiery red color drove in from the south, and a beautiful woman was driving. Lei Dapeng also saw it, as if he had spotted prey and his heart was filled with joy. He suddenly pointed to his mouth and was about to whistle, but forgot that there was still sugar in his mouth. When he blew, the sugar "popped" out and flew straight towards the car window, hitting it with a loud "thud". The window opened, and a girl with yellow hair and a pretty face stuck her head out, laughing at Lei Dapeng and asking: "What's wrong, silly Lei? Are you standing under the girls' dorm again, pining for love? You spat on my car, are you looking for excitement?"

  It's Song Siying, very trendy and beautiful dressing, scolding is laughing, if talking about reputation, in school and Lei Dapeng are not inferior, it is said that there is a relative relationship with a certain leader of the school. Ci Mu Xian knows a little about this MINI-driving girl, don't underestimate her, it's said that someone who doesn't like to see her, turned around and spent over 10,000 yuan to ask the physical education department to be a thug to vent, awesome, not only did she vent, but also got the nickname of "Kuan Jie".

  But Lei Dapeng was not afraid, and smiled slyly: "You think I'm infatuated with spring, but I think you still look pregnant?"

  Lei Dapeng suddenly shouted loudly, and the few girls walking by covered their noses and laughed as they quickly walked away. Song Siyun was instantly stunned, but in this public setting, she didn't dare to call him out. She pointed her finger and shouted: "You... you, wait for me, I'll settle accounts with you later."

  Lei Dapeng sneered and pointed at him, shouting: "Brother is a dead pig who doesn't fear boiling water, what's he afraid of you settling accounts?"

  With a snort of disdain, Song Siying was enraged and got up to drive away, ignoring Lei Dapeng, the idiot. It's really not worth arguing with this kind of person, and I have something important to attend to anyway.

  For someone he didn't like, Lei Dapeng's eyes had no distinction between men and women, especially for someone as arrogant as Song Siyun. Lei Dapeng wouldn't mind provoking her a bit. With a smug expression, he turned his head and said, "What's wrong, Brother Lei, why are you scolding me?"

  "I didn't vomit, I was just going to whistle and tease this little white girl, just like Egg Brother did." Lei Dapeng explained, making a whistling shape with his mouth and blowing hard, trying to prove that he had high moral character and was misunderstood.

  But unexpectedly, the whistle didn't sound. Ah!?, Si Mu Xian shouted and wiped his face in a fluster. Le Ge's whistle didn't make a sound, but saliva came out instead, spitting directly onto Xiandi's face, stunning Le Dapeng. Si Mu Xian wiped his face, so angry he couldn't say a word. Le Dapeng quickly extended his sleeve: "Let me wipe it for you, I'll practice blowing the whistle again later and blow one for you to hear. I really was going to blow a whistle, not spit on you."

  "You... are suffocating me!" Si Mu Xian stomped his feet and pointed, this fire was so pent up that it had nowhere to vent, he was so angry that he walked away by himself. Lei Da Peng chased after him for a couple of steps, while trying to persuade him, but not giving up, he turned his head to look in the direction of the dormitory building. As soon as he saw Wang Hua Ting and others coming out, he stopped persuading Si Mu Xian. He forgot about his brother when he saw the girl, and his desires were stirred up, so he abandoned Si Mu Xian and went to greet the school flower instead.

  When he rushed to Wang Huating with a silly look, it made Wang Huating and the girls who came together laugh. With this outfit, even if his eyes didn't look good, he could still be recognized as being lovesick, and even if his nose wasn't good, he could still be choked by the scent of Le Dapeng's perfume. The few girls who followed were not envious or sympathetic, but ridiculed him, each pushing to go ahead one step at a time. When Le Dapeng weakly squeezed beside Wang Huating and walked together, Wang Huating seemed very calm, smiling and asking: "You came early?"

  "Not early, just arrived."

  "You go to the tiered classroom first, and we students will meet Professor Zuo at the front of the building."

  "I'll go with you."

  "Da Peng, this is no good, you're not even in the student union."

  "Then I'll be under the leadership of the student union, and if not, then under your leadership? Isn't it just welcoming a professor? Don't take it too seriously, that old man is an old glutton, acting shamelessly. Our Egg Brother cooked that turtle egg soup, and that old man ate it with his mouth watering..."

  Lei Dapeng kept talking about his disjointed story, not caring whether others understood or not. Wang Huating looked embarrassed, originally she had some intention to curry favor with Lei Dapeng, thinking that with Lei's reputation, he could stir up trouble among the students, after all, with Lei leading the way, there would be many people following, just to watch the excitement, and the effect was very obvious. Now the whole school is crazy about spreading jokes about Lei Dapeng chasing Party Flower, and Lei Dapeng has already risen to the top of the school's heartthrob rankings. The incident with Lisi has been downplayed instead. But what's hard to say is that this guy is even more annoying than imagined, and it's hard to get rid of him no matter how hard you try.

  "Da Peng, listen to me... this..."

  Wang Hua-ting saw the student union members coming out, standing still under the school's shaded road, just about to give Lei Da-peng a serious lecture, but unexpectedly, her words were interrupted. The reason was that the corner of her eye caught sight of a familiar person, and Lei Da-peng also saw him, excitedly waving his hand, followed by several short, flirtatious whistles. Both of them clearly saw that it was Shan Yong who had returned, with someone behind him. Not only they, but also the student union members were stunned.

  It was a woman, with long legs stretched out in the back seat, her toes curled up in a beautiful arc. At this moment, Lei Dapeng had even forgotten to whistle, and he didn't snap out of it until Dan Yong slammed on the brakes at the side of the road, still looking shocked. Not just him, but also Wang Huating was petrified by the scene before her eyes. The students from the student union who were not far away were so shocked that they dared not breathe a word, and it wasn't until after a while that someone quietly pointed and whispered.

  This momentum, how shocking, Dan Yong riding an electric bicycle is like driving a luxury car, no, it's even more enviable than driving a luxury car into the school.

  It was that woman, the one who recorded DV at Professor Zuo's lecture, a warm, gentle and amiable woman, who had been subject to many speculations by students attending the lecture. She is now sitting on the back of Dan Yong's electric motorcycle. Everyone would have welcomed her appearance, but it seemed a bit unreasonable for her to appear like this. Moreover, she was dressed in a pure and beautiful student outfit, as if she wanted to add a touch of scenery to this school. Wherever she passed by, people turned their heads with a 100% rate.

  Shan Yong naturally enjoyed the envy, jealousy and hatred of others. He looked at Lei Da Peng and Wang Hua Ting, as well as the student union gang who were fooled by Lei, and smiled smugly.

  Instead, it was Xī Yǐng on the back seat who smiled and waved: "Hey... Dà Péng, why don't you recognize me?"

  "Th-th-this... th-th-that..." Lei Dapeng's lips trembled, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He looked at Zuo Xiying again, wearing a white shirt, green striped pants, and a stylish hairstyle, exuding an indescribable elegance and beauty, as if she were a young girl who hadn't graduated from this school yet. Lei Dapeng wasn't blinded by her stunning looks, but he couldn't understand how the sun had risen in the east and set in the west, pointing at Zuo Xiying and then at Egg Brother, only managing to stammer out one word after a long time, his mouth still agape with shock.

  Shan Yong turned back with a smile and said: "Zuo Jie, this is Lei Da Peng and his girlfriend."

  "Oh, hello. I remember you, you were there at the first lecture." Zuo Xiying stretched out her hand and shook hands with Wang Huating, who was taken aback by the sudden gesture, looking at Zuo Xiying's surprised eyes made her feel embarrassed, they exchanged a smile, but then gave Shan Yong a sideways glance, Shan Yong had a mischievous grin on his face.

  Although Wang Huating is indeed a beauty in the school, she was clearly overshadowed by Zuo Xiying when they stood together. She was slightly shorter, her skin tone was a bit darker, and her speech was not as refined. Single Yong thought that no matter what, she was just a little worse off than Zuo Xiying. However, after exchanging a few words, the two women seemed to have a good impression of each other. Zuo Xiying leaned slightly towards Single Yong and walked with him in the direction of the library. Lei Dapeng reacted slowly, biting his finger, and took half a day to come out of his shock. It was Wang Huating who urged him somewhat angrily: "Let's go, what are you staring at? Pervert."

  "I wish I could be so lucky." Lei Dapeng sighed, chasing after Wang Huating and asking: "I... didn't my eyes deceive me, is this really Professor Zuo's daughter? This level is not ordinary at all, how did you hook up with her? This morning we were all talking about it, thinking it was just bragging, damn, now beautiful women are all blind, only looking for guys like Egghead who are poor and unrefined."

  Although he's a buddy, Lei Dapeng felt that compared to Shan Yong, he had a bit of an advantage in terms of emotional intelligence. Wang Huating couldn't bear to listen anymore and tried to interrupt Lei Dapeng several times, but unexpectedly, this guy was very self-aware and got deeply absorbed in his own thoughts, completely disregarding others' feelings. He walked a few steps in a daze and only realized something was wrong when he reached the group of whispering classmates, where Wang Huating saw the shocked gazes of everyone else. It turned out that she had absent-mindedly pulled Lei Dapeng into the welcoming crowd while thinking about the woman they had just met.

  The more afraid of trouble, the more trouble there is. Leiguo not only came but also doesn't seem to be leaving. Everyone looked at each other in dismay, fearing that this guy would affect the city's appearance and further tarnish the already poor reputation of Luan Institute. They whispered among themselves and pushed out Ding Yizhi, the class leader of Class 2. Ding Yizhi asked Le Dapeng with concern: "Dapeng, why have you come?"

  "Mind your own business? I love being wherever I want." Lei Dapeng got annoyed when he saw Ding Yizhi's serious face, which was just like those teachers in primary and secondary school who misled students. However, Ding Yizhi didn't dare to argue with him, and instead turned around to whisper something to the other department heads, including those from the English, math, and politics departments, all of whom were chosen by their respective directors. The leaders of the school and departments also came out of the White Building, and the bespectacled head of the math department advised Lei Dapeng, "Lei, this is a school-organized event, and our student union just came to make an appearance... We're here to receive Professor Zuo, what can we do if you intervene?"

  Lei Dapeng didn't think he was wrong, looking at the leaders and then at the student union crowd, and again at Wang Huating who was speechless with a difficult expression, as if he had become the public enemy. He pulled up his sleeves and said disdainfully: "Is it any of your business? Whoever wants to pick someone up can come and do it themselves, I'm just doing this voluntarily, what's it got to do with you student union people... Don't think that just because you're in charge of something, you're also part of the organization. Do you understand? Your student union is equivalent to a street office in terms of establishment, but you can't even manage your own people; and in terms of function, it's like a letters and visits office, but you can't do anything about it. If you have the ability, then stop me from picking him up!"

  Lei stopped, at this critical moment, the school leaders and department leaders came with smiles, two or three cars drove in, and the leading car was that very cool stretched BMW from the hotel. The students who had seen this scene were a bit stunned, but there was something even more stunning: Lei Dapeng ignored everyone's attention, trying to show off, rushed straight to the parking lot of the BMW, and got ahead of the leaders to pick up Professor Zuo Nanxia.

  It's all over... Wang Huating rushed to hide behind the crowd, wailing in despair.

  It's gone wrong...... The student union cadres were at a loss, neither stopping nor not stopping, looking at each other in dismay, no one took the lead, and they all followed forward.

  It's gone... Dean Wang Hengbin was also startled, took two quick steps and then slowed down. Lei Dapeng pulled the car door open and had already taken care of everything.

  Nothing's wrong, the car door opens, and Xi Nan comes out with a big smile, waving at everyone. He gives Lei Da Peng a warm hug and asks in a slightly strange tone: "Hey, why is it you?"

  "They're slower than me." Lei Da Peng grinned foolishly, pointing at a group of students and teachers behind him.

  "Really!? Hehe... Oh, right! I was worried about it. Seeing you made me think of the best candidate. Bring my DV over." Zuo Nan turned around and handed the DV camcorder to Da Peng, saying politely: "Help me record the scene, this is a rare opportunity for me to get on stage in my lifetime."

  "Well, can't just do it for nothing."

  Under the gaze of everyone, Lei Dapeng opened his mouth to ask for compensation. When everyone was staring at each other in surprise, Zuo Nanxia burst out laughing and said: "That's a given! Last time I ate your Golden Jade Full Hall... Tonight, I'll be the host, borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, at the Kayue Hotel, how about inviting you guys? This meal is one that doesn't distinguish between old and young, I might even ask for your advice!"

  "Oh, old man, you're saying... we'd be embarrassed if we didn't take advantage of this, no problem, no problem..." Lei Dapeng heard there was a chance to get something for free and eagerly agreed.

  Everyone saw that the old and young, as if they were really grandfather and grandson, one silly and one kind. The old man pulled the little one and said something, and then it was time to chat with the school leaders and department heads. However, the person closest to Zuo Nanxia was Professor Song, a friend of the same age. These two old men got along well with Lei Ge, chatting and laughing together, and couldn't help but burst into loud laughter. As for the student union members who came to pick them up, they just briefly said thank you and ended it, and the group went straight to the classroom on the stairs.

  This time, the student union gang was stunned again. With a puzzled expression, they followed the crowd and secretly cursed that it's no wonder philosophy is declining, with someone like Lei Dapeng supporting it, philosophy can't help but decline.

  Wang Hua Ting, who was following the crowd, also felt dizzy. She looked at Da Peng, who was chatting with Zuo Nan Xia, and couldn't understand a thing. Then she turned her head to look in the direction of the library, and suddenly felt uneasy, as if Dan Yong's behavior with Zuo Xi Ying had made her feel uncomfortable. After thinking for a moment, she slowed down slightly and followed the crowd into the teaching building...
