“Sigh, I am finally back.” Chu Yang entered the dorm and headed straight to his bed.
“What’s wrong? Why do you look like you’ve been put through the wringer?” Chu Yang’s roommate, Qin Feng, asked curiously.
“Sigh, don’t mention it. On my way back today, an auntie asked to borrow my phone to make a call. Then I lent it to her.”
“And she invited you to her house?” Chu Yang’s another roommate, Xu Qian, winked at him.
“If that’s the case, then why am I so depressed?” Chu Yang was a little speechless.
“It was fine initially, but later on, she’s nowhere to be found. Then I realized that I was tricked.”
“I had no choice. Hence, I went to the police station nearby to make a report. The police said that it was a syndicate operation. Recently, a lot of people in that area were cheated of their cell phones.”
“I didn’t have any money with me after my cell phone was stolen. I could only walk back from there. Can I not get tired?” Chu Yang laid on the bed, feeling hopeless as he talked about his encounter this morning.
“You’re so pity.” Chu Yang’s roommate said sympathetically after hearing his series of unfortunate events.
“Sigh, let’s not talk about it anymore. Everything goes wrong recently, so there are a lot of unfortunate incidents. Fatty, can I borrow your phone? I’m meeting Wei’er for lunch,” Chu Yang sat up and said to Xu Qian.
“Chu Yang, I have some bad news to tell you.” When Xu Qian heard Chu Yang’s words, his expression became somewhat solemn.
“Fatty, don’t tell me that your phone has run out of credit. I saw that you just credited $100 a few days ago. Quickly bring your phone over. I’m in a hurry to have lunch with my wife.”
Seeing Fatty’s silent expression, Chu Yang thought that he was worried about the phone credit, hence the teasing.
“Young master, do I look like I’m the kind of person who worries about the phone credit? It’s your girlfriend, Li Wei, who came just now.” Xu Qian heard Chu Yang’s teasing and said to him grumpily.
“Wei’er just came? She must be here to have lunch with me. Fatty, quickly pass me your phone. I want to contact her. I can’t have her waiting too long.”
Chu Yang was anxious after hearing Xu Qian said that his girlfriend had come over to look for him.
“Chu Yang, Li Wei was here to break up with you.” Although Qin Feng couldn’t bear to see Chu Yang like this, he still had to tell him the truth.
“What did you say?” Chu Yang, who was originally a little anxious, suddenly froze on the spot.
“It’s true. Li Wei came to the dormitory just now but she couldn’t find you, so she asked us to tell you.” Seeing Chu Yang’s face, Fatty couldn’t bear to confirm the truth.
“Boom!”
Chu Yang felt as if he was struck by lightning. His mind went blank and he couldn’t believe the news at all.
“Why? Why is this happening? I treat her so well. I even planned to work part-time this weekend, and then save money to bring her shopping.”
“Chu Yang, wake up. Li Wei is only with you so that you can be her meal ticket.” Qin Feng looked at Chu Yang’s expression and couldn’t bear to be harsh on him.
“No, brother. Wei’er isn’t that kind of person.” Chu Yang immediately refuted him.
“Are you still dreaming? Li Wei and the silver-spooned kid, Shi Ming are eating on the second floor of the cafeteria. If you don’t believe me, you can go and take a look.” Seeing that Chu Yang was still in denial, Qin Feng couldn’t help but say to him.
“No, I don’t believe you.” Although Chu Yang said he didn’t believe Qin Feng, he still rushed out to the cafeteria.
When they reached the cafeteria, just as Qin Feng said, Li Wei and Shi Ming were lovey-dovey, eating together.
“Wei’er, why?!” Chu Yang stood behind the two of them and shouted.
“Chu Yang? What do you mean why? Just like what you see, I don’t want you anymore.” Li Wei replied in a matter-of-fact tone, although she was a little surprised by Chu Yang’s sudden appearance.
“Why?”
“Because you’re poor. Is that a sufficient reason? I don’t want to have to scrimp and save money every month to go shopping.”
“Look at this designer bag in my hand. You can’t afford it even if you work part-time for a month.”
“Wei’er, tell me this isn’t true.” Hearing Li Wei’s words, he couldn’t believe that his girlfriend had changed.
“Friend, accept the reality. Be a rich man in your next life.” Seeing Chu Yang like this, Shi Ming hugged Li Wei and said that to his face before leaving.
“Go back, Chu Yang.” Qin Feng was a little worried when Chu Yang rushed out of the dormitory, so he followed him and saw the scene unfolded in front of him.
“Chu Yang, are you okay?” Xu Qian also looked at Chu Yang from the side.
“I’m fine, brothers. I’m fine.” Chu Yang looked at his two good friends and forced himself to appear fine, pretending as if nothing had happened.
“Haha, that’s right. Let me tell you, there are plenty of good women around. Why should you care about this vain and shallow woman?” Xu Qian comforted him when he saw that Chu Yang was opening up.
“Haha, Fatty, you’re right.” Chu Yang smiled at him, and the three of them returned to the dormitory with their arms on each other’s shoulders.
“Chu Yang, what are you thinking about? Don’t tell me you’re still thinking about that woman?” Fatty asked Chu Yang when he saw that Chu Yang did not speak much after he returned to the dormitory.
“No, I’m thinking about buying a phone. I lose my phone, didn’t I? But I don’t have enough money to get a new one.” Hearing Fatty’s words, he said what he was thinking about.
As for Li Wei, those who abandoned me, I will leave them behind like yesterday. Chu Yang thought it through. One day, he would make Li Wei regret it.
“You can take a look at the trading market next to the school. It’s quite popular recently. You should be able to find a good phone to use in the meantime. When you have enough money, you can exchange it for a new one.” Qin Feng suggested.
Qin Feng planned to give Chu Yang the money directly, but thinking of Chu Yang’s independent character, he changed his mind and gave him the suggestion instead.
“Okay, I’ll go and take a look now before it closes for the day. It seems to be closing soon.” Upon Qin Feng’s suggestion, Chu Yang took into consideration the second-hand trading market next to his school. He left for the market after saying the words..
