"Oh." I nodded and said, "If you don't want to sit, I will. If we stand like this, we will be exhausted all the way."
I don't have time to chat with him. This place is more than 100 kilometers away from Xixing Mountain. I have to find a place to sit down and rest for a while.
"..." The boy next to me looked at me with sympathy, as if he had predicted my frustrated expression.
So, I came to the seat next to Chen Weier in full view of everyone: "Can I sit here?"
"Hmm?" Chen Weier looked up at me, then immediately lowered her head, and her face turned red.
"If you want to sit, sit down... Why are you asking me..." Chen Weier played with the corner of her clothes and whispered. The voice was sweet.
Everyone in the car stared at our direction in surprise, some were confused, some were suspicious, and of course the most were jealous. Chen Weier, a cold beauty who always ignored any boys, was actually shy in front of this boy!
I completely ignored everyone's expressions and sat down next to Chen Weier. "Why did you join this winter camp?" I asked Chen Wei'er curiously.
"I... Can't I join?" Chen Wei'er didn't know how to answer for a moment. She didn't want to join the winter camp when she saw the notice, but for some reason, she signed up unconsciously when she thought that Liu Lei might go back. Although Chen Wei'er comforted herself in her heart that he didn't like her and she couldn't like him, she still came after all. Just when he was talking to her just now, she was secretly happy for a while.
"Miss Chen Wei'er, the first in the senior year, can of course join. Who dares to stop me!" I joked.
"Hate! You are mocking me. You study much better than me." Chen Wei'er snorted.
"What am I good about? I skip classes all day long. It's good that I wasn't expelled." I told the truth.
"Hmph, you did it on purpose! You can get such a good score without attending classes. Does that mean I'm too stupid?" Chen Wei'er said with a squint at me.
"How can I compare with Wei'er, who is both good in character and in study!" I flattered.
"That's more like it!" Chen Wei'er breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"Hehe..." Along the way, I chatted with Chen Wei'er in a random manner under the thorny eyes of everyone. Later, I was really a little sleepy and fell asleep in a daze. I have been lacking sleep recently. I don't know if my parents did it on purpose, but I think this thing must have been premeditated!
Since my mother found out that Zhao Yanyan and I had a super-friendly relationship, my mother often called Zhao Yanyan for various reasons, under the pretext of discussing things between women, and Zhao Yanyan gradually became a frequent visitor to my home.
There was even a weekend when I was sleeping in bed without knowing it, and suddenly a smooth body got into my quilt. I was startled and woke up immediately, and found that the person in front of me was Zhao Yanyan, staring at me with a smile naked.
The following events went smoothly. After Zhao Yanyan and I made love, we put on our clothes and went to the kitchen to eat breakfast. I found that my mother was staring at me with an unfathomable and weird look on her face, which made my whole body go numb.
What made me faint the most was that my mother said something that almost made me swallow my chopsticks. My mother said to me, Yanyan is still a little girl, can she bear it for so long?
Zhao Yanyan and I almost found a crack in the ground to crawl into after hearing that. The little girl screamed in excitement when she climaxed just now, and my mother must have heard it with ulterior motives at the door.
I could only laugh awkwardly. I certainly couldn't say that it was actually Zhao Yanyan who kept insisting and demanding from me.
And later on, there were more and more coincidences. My mother even specially gave the little girl a key to my house so that she could come and go freely. In short, my mother had already regarded Zhao Yanyan as her future daughter-in-law, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was extremely harmonious.
Not only that, my mother and father would call the little girl before going out every time to tell her that they would not be back at night. I felt that this was a hint, but I was still helpless about my mother's behavior.
Take the past few days after the exam as an example. My mother and my father seemed to have made an appointment to go out at night frequently, causing me to be seriously lacking in sleep during this period. So much so that I fell asleep in a daze in the car just now.
When I woke up, I found myself leaning on something soft. When I opened my eyes, I actually lay my head in Chen Weier's arms. Chen Weier was looking at me helplessly, her little face flushed, how embarrassing and embarrassing it was. The worst thing was that my saliva actually flowed out, and it wet a piece of Chen Weier's sweater on her chest.
I quickly stood up and sat up straight, smiling embarrassedly: "Sorry, I just fell asleep."
"No... It's okay." Chen Wei'er lowered her head and dared not look at me, and said in a low voice.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" I wiped the saliva on my mouth, took out a pack of tissues from my pocket, and took one out to help Chen Wei'er wipe the saliva I left on her chest.
"I'd better do it myself." As soon as my hand touched Chen Wei'er's soft chest, she hurriedly pushed my hand away as if she had been electrocuted. I realized that my unintentional behavior just now could be understood as hooliganism. Although I was indeed in the mood to help at the time, I had become a model of perverts in the eyes of many boys. But I can use my life to assure my brother Yan Wang that all the actions I did were natural instincts, and there were no other improper pornographic factors in it. The army of Wei'er pursuers who had seen me sleeping in Chen Wei'er's arms had long wanted to be angry, and now they had a chance to show off. They were eager to try, just waiting for Chen Wei'er to call out "pervert" and then attack me and beat me to a pulp.
But the facts disappointed them. Chen Wei'er had no other extreme behavior except a shy expression. As a result, after wiping her clothes with the toilet paper I handed over, she actually said to me softly: "I was afraid of waking you up, so I didn't dare to disturb your sleep."
Chen Wei'er's words completely surprised Wei'er's pursuers. It turned out that Chen Wei'er also had a gentle side, but what they couldn't tolerate the most was that Chen Wei'er actually had an extremely ambiguous attitude towards the boy in front of her who seemed to have nothing special!
However, how could they easily see the special thing? I would not tell anyone that I was reborn.
These people's gazes reminded me of when I first became Zhao Yanyan's deskmate in the first year of high school. They all thought I was a toad dreaming of eating swan meat, but later, Zhao Yanyan became my wife, and they had no choice but to accept reality. It was the same situation now. From the moment I sat next to Chen Wei'er, they were all waiting for me to embarrass myself. They finally got the chance, but it didn't play out as they expected.
Just as I was feeling smug, Li Shaojie could no longer hold back his anger. He rushed over, pointing at me and shouting, "Kid, how dare you flirt with Chen Wei'er in front of everyone? Do you think we don't exist?"
Chen Wei'er and I both stared in surprise at this so-called hero rushing to our defense.
Li Shaojie was clenching his fists tightly, glaring at me with fury, as if he were ready to unleash a dramatic "angry hair standing up" moment if he had long hair.
"I... I... didn't... that is..." Before I could speak, Chen Wei'er, with a red face, cut in. Clearly, she found the word "flirt" too crude, so she substituted it with "that."
"Wei'er, don't be scared! Did this bad guy force you? It's okay, just tell us. With so many of us here, do you think we'll let him get away with it?" Li Shaojie said, his voice full of righteous anger.
"That's right! We can't just stand by and do nothing!"
"We can't let this pervert get away with it!"
"Yeah! We're not afraid of him..."
Once someone takes the lead and fans the flames, a group of people will immediately follow suit. No one will miss the chance to kick someone when they're down.
"Look, you there! Are you the world's police officer or some kind of superhero? Even if I'm a rogue, you don't need to stand up and point fingers, do you?" I said disdainfully.
"Doing what's right is every citizen's duty, don't you think!?" Li Shaojie turned to his supporters and shouted.
"Yes! We all support you!" said those standing behind Li Shaojie.
"Wow, now you all seem to be united in purpose?" I said, feeling confused. They all seemed to be at odds just moments ago, but now they were so aligned.
"Hmph! What's the matter? Are you scared? If you are, then stay away from Chen Wei'er!" Li Shaojie said, his eyes full of hatred.
"Hey, what's going on with you students? Do you not want to go to the winter camp? If you don't want to go, just say it, and you can get off the bus right now!" Han Bingfeng, who had been dozing in the front passenger seat, finally heard the tension in the air and immediately stood up to scold them.
"Director Han!" Li Shaojie quickly became respectful when he saw the head of the department had arrived.
"Hmph! You guys are all 'good students,' huh? Is being in the top ten that impressive? Does being in the top ten give you the right to fight and argue? Care to explain what's going on?" Han Bingfeng glared at Li Shaojie and said.
"Uh..." Li Shaojie didn't know how to respond. How could he explain to the Dean that he was arguing with the person sitting next to him out of jealousy?
"Enough with the excuses! I don't have time to listen to this nonsense. You guys better get your act together, or I'll have you get off the bus immediately!" Han Bingfeng said, throwing a sideways glance at me. His gaze clearly said, "You're no angel either, so you better watch yourself!"
"Understood, Director Han," Li Shaojie quickly nodded, silently fuming. He was annoyed that the pervert had gotten away with it.
Throughout the rest of the ride, I chatted with Chen Wei'er while Li Shaojie and the others glared at me with disgust.
"Wei'er, let me tell you a joke!" I said with a mischievous grin.
"I don't want to hear it!" Chen Wei'er responded instinctively. After the last time I told her a joke with a slightly inappropriate twist, she immediately rejected any future offers to hear my jokes.
"This one is definitely clean! I swear to King Yama!" I said solemnly.
"Pfft—" Chen Wei'er couldn't help but laugh. "You're so weird. Everyone else swears to gods or immortals, but I've never heard anyone swear to King Yama before!"
"Heh, well, you don't get it. King Yama controls life and death. By swearing to him, it's like swearing on my own life!" I explained. Actually, I was pretty confident swearing by King Yama, knowing he wouldn't do anything to me. If I swore by other gods, though, I could end up in real trouble.
"Oh, okay, go ahead," Chen Wei'er said, believing my explanation.
"Once upon a time, there was a child. He went to bed early, woke up early, studied hard, and worked toward progress every day..." I paused dramatically.
"What happened next?" Chen Wei'er asked eagerly.
"He died," I said flatly.
"He died? How did he die?" Chen Wei'er asked, puzzled.
"Yeah, the joke is: Once upon a time, there was a child who went to bed early, woke up early, studied hard, and worked toward progress every day... and then he died," I said, with a completely serious expression.
"Haha... you call that a joke? Hahaha... there's no cause and effect in that! You just made me laugh to death!" Chen Wei'er finally understood the punchline and burst into laughter, her body shaking with it.
At that time, cold jokes were not popular. I had unknowingly repeated one I had seen online in my previous life. The humor of the joke didn't lie in its meaning, but rather in the twist at the end, where it said, "And then he died," which had absolutely no cause-and-effect relationship with the earlier part of the sentence!
"Do you still want to hear it?" I pressed on, trying to keep the momentum going. Back in those days, winning a girl's favor was surprisingly easy. A few casual words were enough to make her smile. It wasn't like a few years later when the internet became widespread, and every girl had grown sharp as a tack, like an ancient ginseng root—so clever.
"Well, then tell me another one! But if it's like that, I'm not listening!" Chen Wei'er said. When she mentioned "like that," her face couldn't help but turn red, and she quickly lowered her head.
"Hehe, alright..." I proceeded to tell her more jokes I'd heard in my past life. The jokes about the mouse marrying the bat to become a pilot for its kids, or the frog marrying the turtle so their children could live longer. Chen Wei'er covered her mouth, laughing nonstop, complaining about where I had picked up so many strange jokes.
I knew that Li Shaojie was glaring at me from not far away, grinding his teeth, and that other suitors of Wei'er were fuming as well. But honestly, I didn't care.
The car slowly made its way to the West Star Mountain ski resort and stopped in front of a hotel. It seemed the school was really willing to spend money. A standard room in this type of hotel would cost at least 300 yuan per night, and now it was the peak season for skiing!
"Everyone, get off the bus! Boys and girls, pair up on your own. There will be two people per room!" Han Bingfeng ordered as he got out of the vehicle.
