Chapter 301

Inside the dormitory on the base.

Huang Qimin was deep in thought while eating his steamed bun. “Don’t you feel that Rugui has been acting strange lately?”Zhou Yan ran different experiments from Wen Rugui and had yet to be able to take any time off.He was still being dumped for the time being.His face was covered in stubbles, looking extremely haggard. “A little bit. It really started a while ago. I’ve asked him about it in the past, but he wouldn’t divulge anything.”Huang Qimin analyzed it like a relationship expert. “Rugui had been taking a lot of time off lately and mailing out a lot of letters. On top of that, he has been receiving packages from time to time.”“Most importantly, just look at the brisk way that he walks. He has been so good-spirited. He was a lot like me when I first met my girlfriend!”Zhou Yan burst out laughing when he heard that. “Oh, c’mon. There’s no way that Rugui has a girlfriend.”Huang Qimin raised his eyebrows at him. “Why can’t he have a girlfriend? Look at what he has to offer! Many girls want to skip dating and marry him immediately!”Zhou Yan gave him a you-don’t-get-it look. “Of course, I know that girls want to marry him. Problem is that he can’t tell them apart. As such, it’s impossible for him to have a girlfriend!”Thus, an argument about Wen Rugui’s love life started.Huang Qimin said, “I am telling you that he has a girlfriend now. If I am wrong, I’ll circle the base once while imitating a dog!”That piqued Zhou Yan’s interest. “Oh, alright. Then I’ll wager that Rugui does not have a girlfriend. If he does have one, I’ll eat poop while doing a handstand and drink the water that I washed my feet with!”As soon as he had finished saying that, Wen Rugui appeared at the door and said, “I have a girlfriend.”Huang Qimin, “……”Zhou Yan, “……”The dormitory went silent for a few seconds.Both Huang Qimin and Zhou Yan looked at Wen Rugui in a daze.Zhou Yan, in particular, looked like someone had slapped him with the bottom of a shoe. He was in shock for a very long time.When Wen Rugui saw that, he decided to return to his own dormitory room.Huang Qimin recollected himself right away and grabbed Wen Rugui by his hand. “Are you serious, Rugui? You have a girlfriend?”“Yes.”Wen Rugui still looked nonchalant. But an observant person would notice that his eyes were bright like stars in the sky when he talked about Tong Xuelu.Zhou Yan leaped into the air. “That is impossible! How could you have a girlfriend! Rugui, tell us the truth. You don’t really have a girlfriend, right?”Zhou Yan refused to believe it!If Wen Rugui, too, had a girlfriend, then he would be the only one of the three musketeers that was single?Most importantly, he wanted to smack himself for what he had just said!Wen Rugui, “……”Huang Qimin, too, remembered their wager, and his eyes beamed. “Don’t try to weasel your way out of our wager that way, Zhou Yan. I told you that Rugui had a girlfriend! Ahahahaha. It’s showtime now. Don’t forget that you are going to eat poop while doing a handstand and drinking water that you used to wash your feet!”The corners of Zhou Yan’s lips twitched. “……”Zhou Yan pretended that he did not hear what Huang Qimin said. “When did you get yourself a girlfriend, Rugui? How come you never mentioned it to us?”Wen Rugui’s heart softened when he thought about Tong Xuelu. “She was not my girlfriend in the past. We just became official yesterday.”Zhou Yan suddenly let out a loud cry. He pointed at Wen Rugui in shock. “I remember now. You asked me last time about a friend of yours wasn’t sure whether he was in love. So you were talking about yourself all along!"Wen-the-usually-rigid-faced-except-in-front-of-his-girlfriend-Rugui blushed. “……”What Zhou Yan didn’t know was that, in the future world, whenever someone started with “I have a friend who……”, they were usually talking about themselves.Huang Qimin circled back to the previous topic. “Oh buddy, don’t try to play dumb. Say, when can we expect your performances?”Zhou Yan pleaded with a sad look. “Bro, I will admit that I was wrong, alright? I’ll take you two to the government-operated restaurant tomorrow alright?”Huang Qimin smacked his lips. “That’s not good enough. You need to treat us to the government-operated restaurant at least twice. Once for eating poop while doing a handstand and another for drinking the water that you have washed your feet with!”Zhou Yan wanted to cry. “……”He was the one who said those words. Now, he had to own up to them.
