Chapter 296 -242 Cola_2
Several people were flattering so extravagantly that anyone with half a brain knew they were just sucking up, and it was nauseating to listen to, but Qi Tianheng, the recipient of the flattery, was exceptionally pleased.
No matter if their praise was genuine or fake, they were still flattering him, after all!
Comfortable, awesome!
Qi Tianheng couldn’t help but feel elated, and he declared,
“Brothers, it’s about time. Let’s have some fun with Zhang Chi later.”
He had a grudge with Zhang Chi for over a month. Previously, he had kept a low profile, wary of Zhang Chi, who must think he had forgotten about it by now.
He hadn’t forgotten. He had been delaying it until now due to various considerations to avoid startling the snake.
Thinking of the humiliation that time, Qi Tianheng was filled with rage, his eyes glinting like those of a venomous snake.
A boy burst out laughing, “I knew Brother Tian wouldn’t let him off. As the saying goes, a biting dog doesn’t bark!”
Zhao Xiaofeng had a strange expression on his face; then suddenly, he slapped the boy on the crown of his head,
“If you can’t talk properly, then keep your mouth shut.”
…
Upstairs, the examination hall.
Dan Kaiquan had just finished the questions. He was sitting back with his legs crossed, mockingly observing his classmates.
The others were still buried in their work, while Dan Kaiquan was exceedingly smug, having easily completed his test earlier.
At that moment, he even felt as if he were above everyone else, and Dan Kaiquan murmured,
“How come everyone is still not done? I’m getting sleepy.”
He felt superior to the surrounding classmates. After all, for the next test, he would go to the examination halls on the first floor.
And he would widen the gap between him and the students in this hall!
Never again would they be able to catch up with his advancing steps.
No one in the examination hall had handed in their papers early, but Dan Kaiquan raised his hand to signify he was done.
After the teacher agreed, he walked out of the examination hall with a disdainful stride.
Once downstairs, he took out his phone to check the time and realized he had come out early.
He was supposed to meet up with Ma Shicheng, Guo Kunnan, and Yan Tianpeng for some braised chicken. There were still five minutes to go until the agreed time.
‘Should I head to the restaurant and wait?’
As Dan Kaiquan was contemplating, he suddenly saw two figures, one tall and one short, coming down the stairs.
The shorter one was Guo Kunnan, who wasn’t really that short at 178cm tall, but next to Yan Tianpeng, who was over 190cm tall and built like a bear, he looked smaller.
Once the two reached the bottom of the stairs, Dan Kaiquan saw that Zhang Chi from their class was following Yan Tianpeng.
Dan Kaiquan was puzzled, “What’s going on here?”
Guo Kunnan explained, “Brother Peng is treating Zhang Chi to braised chicken.”
Upon hearing this, Dan Kaiquan was skeptical. Yan Tianpeng might have a big build, but in terms of stinginess, he was one of the most miserly people Dan Kaiquan had ever met.
Zhang Chi was all smiles; having copied answers for Tianpeng during the test, he felt entitled to a free meal.
After another minute, Ma Shicheng also came out.
“Let’s hurry up, or it’ll get crowded at the restaurant later,” Dan Kaiquan urged. They had handed in their papers early and there weren’t many students around yet. Otherwise, once the restaurant got crowded, they might not find a place to sit.
The group made their way toward the school entrance, and halfway there, they ran into Lu Qiqi from their class.
Yan Tianpeng, upon seeing his crush, hurriedly struck up a conversation,
“Qiqi, have you finished the exam?”
“Yeah,” Lu Qiqi had poorer grades and today’s subject was tough for her. She completed what little she knew hastily and handed in her paper early to head back to her rented place.
Yan Tianpeng looked at Lu Qiqi and offered, “Qiqi, I’ll treat you to some braised chicken to make up for it.”
Lu Qiqi’s eyes flickered, hesitant, she said, ƒreewebɳovel.com
“I didn’t bring any money, what should I do?”
Yan Tianpeng scolded her, “Look at you, so careless. Then I guess I’ll have to go eat by myself.”
After that, Yan Tianpeng walked away with Dan Kaiquan and the others.
Lu Qiqi stood there stunned. Is there something wrong with his brain?
…
Zhang Chi had been paying attention to their conversation and was slightly worried that if Yan Tianpeng invited Lu Qiqi to eat, he might not have enough to treat Zhang Chi too.
But now he dismissed the thought. After walking a distance, Zhang Chi complimented him,
“Brother Peng, you’ve got serious brotherhood!”
To think that for the sake of his brother, he’d forsaken a girl—Zhang Chi felt moved.
Yan Tianpeng laughed heartily, “I, Old Peng, am all about loyalty.”
Zhang Chi echoed, praising him a few more times.
Ma Shicheng fiddled with his cellphone.
Upon arriving at the braised chicken restaurant, Dan Kaiquan pushed open the door and looked around, spotting Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong sitting across from him.
“Jiang Ning, finished with your exam this early?” Dan Kaiquan inquired, under the impression that good students should be the ones who stay until the end of the exam.
Jiang Ning replied, “I had finished writing. It was boring to stay.”
After hearing this, Dan Kaiquan further asked, “Haven’t seen you guys eating at the school gate for a while.”
“Can’t be bothered to cook back home.” In reality, it was Xue Yuantong who had depleted his energy playing badminton and felt hungry. Not wanting to wait to eat at home, they had decided to eat outside.
Xue Yuantong popped open a can of cola, drinking with pleasure.
Dan Kaiquan didn’t say much more. Looking at the large portion of braised chicken on Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong’s table, he felt a bit envious—not of the large size but of the experience of sharing a portion with someone.
Whenever he came here, he could only afford the 16-yuan small portion.
‘Soon, soon, after the exam and the sports meet, I will be worthy of Bai Yuxia, and then I will confess to her,’ Dan Kaiquan encouraged himself. By then, he could also come out to eat with someone.
Ma Shicheng also greeted them and then went to the counter to order a portion of braised chicken and a bottle of green tea.
The group of five needed a place to sit, but the tables at the restaurant were made for four. After pondering for a moment, Ma Shicheng headed to an adjacent empty table.
He took the initiative, “You guys sit, I’ll go over here.”
Dan Kaiquan and Guo Kunnan glanced at Zhang Chi. They had originally agreed to meet as four, and Zhang Chi was the extra one, so it was not right to make Brother Ma sit alone.
However, after hearing the suggestion, Zhang Chi pretended to be clueless.
