Chapter 186: Chapter 167 They Are So Sad

Ma Shicheng was warm-hearted and eager to help, especially a coworker sitting in the back row. There was no way he’d just stand by and watch.

“I have my ways with girls,” Ma Shicheng boasted.

“With that confidence, Brother Ma, I’ll trust you this time.”

Guo Kunnan took out his phone and entered a four-digit password to unlock it.

He opened QQ and showed the chat window to Ma Shicheng.

The girl’s avatar was a cute cartoon cat, instantly likable.

“I am Manman.”

“Can I ask you something?”

This message was from her.

Guo Kunnan said, “What does she want with me?”

Ma Shicheng thought for a moment. “Let’s check out her space first.”

Guo Kunnan hesitated. “That’s not so nice.”

He wasn’t a prestigious Yellow Diamond user of QQ, and visiting someone else’s space would leave a visitor’s footprint.

“Just take a look,” urged Ma Shicheng.

“Alright then.” Guo Kunnan clicked in. In fact, he wanted to see too. Previously feeling alone, now with Ma Shicheng by his side, he felt reassured.

The girl’s QQ space was very fancy, filled with special effects, and the first things that caught his eye were several fashionable selfies posted as status updates.

“She looks okay, right?” Guo Kunnan remarked.

“Not bad.”

Guo Kunnan scrolled further.

Posts included her complaints about trivial matters, and one with a creepy picture attached claimed, ‘If you see this and don’t share, your entire family will die within three days.’

The girl’s posts typically had over one hundred likes, followed by a long string of comments.

Ma Shicheng usually referred to this type of girl as a “Web Princess.”

He clicked on her profile, which had some detailed information, including a phone number.

Years of online confrontations allowed Ma Shicheng to quickly memorize the number.

“Ask her what she wants,” Ma Shicheng suggested.

So Guo Kunnan replied to the girl, “Sorry, was a bit busy just now, what do you need to ask? (grinning)”

Adolescent boys, when facing pretty girls, often feel inherently inferior and subconsciously lower themselves, even aiming to please.

Manman replied, “Well, here it goes.”

“Can you give me the contact info of the guy who played basketball with you today on the playground, the really handsome one in a white jacket?”

“You surely know him (smile).”

Guo Kunnan’s face fell, a false hope dashed.

Ma Shicheng was equally speechless.

“Brother Ma, what should I reply?” Guo Kunnan asked weakly. Why was it always like this? Why did he always end up in such situations?

Ma Shicheng didn’t know what to say.

“Just handle it yourself.”

Guo Kunnan had no choice. He replied, “He’s our class leader, and yeah, quite handsome.”

“Can you give me his QQ then?” Manman asked.

Guo Kunnan voiced his confusion. “The class leader is a nice guy. Why don’t you ask him directly instead of asking me?”

Manman: “Hahaha, I saw your group, and you’re all dark and silly looking. I thought you wouldn’t say no.”

Guo Kunnan: “…”

Beside him, Ma Shicheng twitched his eye.

Sulking, Guo Kunnan conceded he might be a bit dark-skinned, but still decent looking. Why would she call him silly?

Manman: “You’re not mad, are you?”

“Boys should be a bit more generous, you know.”

Ma Shicheng’s eye twitched again.

Guo Kunnan had been a bit angry, but that comment deflated it, making him appear unmanly.

He replied, “And here I thought you were asking for my QQ because of me (grinning)”

Manman: “No way, no way (sweating).”

“So funny, dude, you’re thinking too much.”

Guo Kunnan: “Haha, guess I was.”

Manman: “Now can you give me his QQ?”

Before giving it, Guo Kunnan asked, “Do I really look silly to you?”

Manman: “A bit, you look kinda silly.”

“It’s mainly because you’re a bit too confident. That’s not good.”

Ma Shicheng clenched his fist.

Guo Kunnan: “I guess I’ll try to change.”

Growing impatient, Manman urged, “You keep trying, and can you give me your class leader’s QQ now?”

“I’ll send it over now.” Guo Kunnan went back to the list to find Huang Zhongfei’s QQ.

Beside him, Ma Shicheng asked, “Are you really going to give it?”

Guo Kunnan: “Yeah, I’m a man of my word.”

Ma Shicheng was dumbfounded, blurting out, “After all her belittling, you’re still giving her the QQ? Give her a smack!”

“If I hadn’t seen this chat, I couldn’t imagine there were men like you in real life. Aren’t you embarrassed? I’m embarrassed for you!”

“Look at what she’s said. What right does she have to look down on you?”

“She asks for help while acting all superior!”

“And she dares to say you’re too confident! I think she’s the overconfident one!”

Ma Shicheng’s words were loud and clear, leaving Guo Kunnan dumbfounded.

“Gimme that!”

Ma Shicheng grabbed Guo Kunnan’s phone with a shout.

“I’ll show you what a real man is!”

He replied to the girl, “You want the class leader’s QQ, right?”

“Yeah, yeah, send it quick, I’m about to leave.”

Ma Shicheng sneered internally, You leaving? Might as well be your funeral.

Many girls would use that line to pressure guys into doing what they wanted, lucky for her, she ran into Brother Ma.

“Alright, I won’t waste time, call me ‘bro’ and I’ll send you his QQ,” Ma Shicheng typed out a line.

“Huh?” Manman was taken aback.

“Go on, say it. I’ve already copied the class leader’s QQ.”

Manman: “Well…”

“Bro.”

Ma Shicheng: “Say it nicely, call me ‘good bro.'”

“You’re asking for too much,” Manman grew impatient.

“Just say it, will you?” Ma Shicheng asserted.

Manman: “Good bro, please give me the QQ now.”

Ma Shicheng gave Guo Kunnan a knowing look, proving that the girl was desperate enough to chase after others, confirming her eagerness.

But to settle the score for Guo Kunnan, he was far from done.

So Ma Shicheng continued, “Still not feeling it, call out in a voice message.”

Manman paused for ten seconds, then replied:

“?”

“Big brother, do you know what you’re saying?”

Guo Kunnan hurried over to grab the phone, “Brother Ma, she’s angry, she’s angry.”

Guo Kunnan was scared. A pretty girl getting angry was a big deal!

Ma Shicheng didn’t give him the phone, but said, “Trust me.”

He replied to the girl.

“I know, just call me once more and I’ll give it to you, one last time, and let me remind you again.”

“Our class leader has no girlfriend, and he usually doesn’t accept girls as friends. Once you call, I’ll speak to him on your behalf.”

Ma Shicheng confidently put down the phone.

Soon, a voice message came from the other side. Guo Kunnan excitedly opened it, and indeed, it was a sweet voice saying “big brother.”

Guo Kunnan said, “Should we give it to her now?”

“Yeah, it’s about time,” Ma Shicheng said.

He sent a string of QQ numbers over.

Guo Kunnan suddenly said, “Something’s off, this isn’t the class leader’s QQ.”

Ma Shicheng said, “Yeah, it’s my secondary account. I’ll send you the QQ password later. You can practice with it.”

“This girl is a bit of something; we can’t let her get close to the class leader,” he said.

“No, no,” Guo Kunnan, a righteous man, refused as he couldn’t participate in such shady business.

“Brother, opportunities to practice are rare. Are you sure you don’t want it?”

Ma Shicheng leaned in, “Only Heaven, Earth, you and I will know. Later you can chat with the girl secretly.”

“It’s not very nice to Huang Zhongfei.” Guo Kunnan still refused as he had his principles.

Ma Shicheng had no choice.

He took out his phone, closed all the background apps, logged onto QQ, switched to his secondary account, and indeed, there was a red dot in the contacts.

He clicked ‘accept.’

Guo Kunnan asked the girl in chat, “Did you add it?”

Manman: “Added, you’re such a good person.”

“I have to go out now, goodbye.”

Guo Kunnan: “Okay, okay, you’re busy, goodbye (bye).”

Just then, Ma Shicheng’s QQ received a few messages:

“Hello, you’re so handsome when you play basketball (shy).”

“I heard you don’t have a girlfriend.”

“So, are you missing a girlfriend?”

Guo Kunnan, seeing the messages on Ma Shicheng’s QQ, felt deceived.

He went to confront Manman, only to find out she had deleted him as a friend.

Ma Shicheng spread his hands, didn’t reply to the girl’s messages, but said:

“If you change your mind, I can send you the secondary account password anytime.”

…

February 22, Saturday.

The weather is clear, and the clouds leisurely.

At the river dam.

The mountain bike rides leisurely, the winter air warmed by the sun.

Xue Yuantong wore fingerless gloves, holding a bag of celery, the celery slightly overgrown, pale green leaves peeking out.

Xue Yuantong rubbed Jiang Ning’s cotton-padded coat, feeling the warmth with her fingertips.

“Jiang Ning, your clothes are warm from the sun!”

The sun today was exceptionally good. Xue Yuantong, rarely up at 8:30 AM, energetically went to the market with Jiang Ning to buy groceries, planning to cook herself as a treat for both Jiang Ning and herself at noon.

Halfway through, at the river dam lined with several people.

Xue Yuantong, still on the bike, spotted rabbits among the crowd, and quickly yelled,

“Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning, stop the bike, I see rabbits.”

Jiang Ning didn’t apply the brakes; the mountain bike slowed under the force of Spiritual Power.

Xue Yuantong, holding the celery, agilely jumped off the back seat.

She bounced a few steps to the edge of the river dam.

On the roadside, an old man dressed in a tattered cotton coat and an old-fashioned leather hat sat on a mat. In front of him were several rusty iron cages containing several white rabbits.

Next to the cages, a dirt-yellow hardened paper was placed, crookedly written with a line:

15 yuan each.

Xue Yuantong squatted in front of the cages, staring unblinkingly at the white rabbits, their ears fluffy and listless.

After staring for a while, she ran to the mountain bike on the other side of the dam, telling Jiang Ning:

“Jiang Ning, I want to raise a rabbit.”

She slightly raised her head, smiling brightly, eyes twinkling.

Jiang Ning glanced at Xue Yuantong without saying a word.

Xue Yuantong’s smile faded, feeling as if Jiang Ning was looking down on her.

She said, “What, you don’t believe in my ability?”

Jiang Ning chuckled, “Oh I believe, I believe in your ability to eat rabbits.”

Xue Yuantong felt slighted, realizing this was the image she had in Jiang Ning’s eyes.

“I’ve raised rabbits before, a black one even,” Xue Yuantong narrated her past.

“Black rabbit?”

Mostly white rabbits were available in the market, black ones being much less.

“Yeah, a black one. We had a wooden crate at home. When I was little, I often carried the crate with a sickle and came here to cut grass for my precious rabbit,” Xue Yuantong stated confidently.

“Oh, that’s impressive,” Jiang Ning responded nonchalantly.

“So, I’m not just rabbit-eating, I really can raise rabbits, you underestimated me,” Xue Yuantong wasn’t willing to only have the image of a rabbit-eater in Jiang Ning’s mind, she was a little genius at everything.

“Do you prefer black rabbits or white rabbits?” Jiang Ning asked her.

“Black rabbits,” Xue Yuantong said.

“Do black rabbits bite?”

“They do, I almost got bitten when I was little, but luckily I dodged fast.”

“Rabbits must be pretty fat, right?” Jiang Ning continued asking.

“Pretty fat, I can’t even lift them.”

Jiang Ning immediately asked, “Are rabbits cute?”

“Super cute.”

Jiang Ning quickly asked, “Are rabbits spicy?”

Xue Yuantong, without pausing, “Very spicy.”

She recalled her mother’s stir-fried spicy rabbit and unconsciously moistened her lips.

“…”

Realizing something, she incredulously looked at Jiang Ning, her expression indignant; he was trapping her with her own words!

Jiang Ning pushed the mountain bike, “I think we can leave now.”

Xue Yuantong, grasping the back seat of the mountain bike, turned her head, reluctantly looking at the rabbits in the cages, mumbling,

“Wuu, look how sad they are in the cages, just let me eat one of them.”
