Chapter 300: Chapter 300
Although it was seafood, Ye Ling had worked in a restaurant, and though she hadn’t cooked it, she had watched others do it. After trying it herself, the taste was quite good. Seafood by the sea was cheap, and she made a big plate of every kind. Just eating shrimp, they all got half full. After the meal, Ye Ling and Yang Hui took a walk near the house, while Sui Gang dragged Zhao Guodong to play with a game console he had dug out.
The seaside evening was not quiet. At this time, there were many people coming to the beach, so the two girls didn’t have to feel unsafe. However, the sea breeze at night was strong, blowing away the heat of the day. Ye Ling, having read books, prepared a jacket in advance and reminded Yang Hui when they left. Yang Hui didn’t bring one and only felt cold after walking a few steps. Ye Ling saw this and suggested they go back, but Yang Hui noticed Ye Ling hadn’t walked enough. She asked Ye Ling to wait, then ran back to get her clothes, as it was not far from the door.
Ye Ling promised not to wander around and looked at the distant seaside, listening to the sound of the waves. Her heart was unprecedentedly calm, but at such a good time, someone always broke the peace. Ye Ling heard footsteps and didn’t expect it would be Fu Lei approaching her. Coldly looking at the man coming near her, Ye Ling didn’t understand what face he had to approach her.
It was still that kind of smile, but it sent a chill to the bone.
"Ye Ling, I came to find you just to apologize. I know you won’t forgive me," Fu Lei said with a smile, looking at Ye Ling. "I’ve been observing all day, taking advantage of this opportunity to come find you."
"After doing such a thing, how can you still smile?" Ye Ling coldly looked at Fu Lei. "Fu Lei, whatever your purpose is, just say it directly. No need to beat around the bush. People like you, I couldn’t see through before, but this time I understand clearly. People who do nothing for nothing, that’s exactly you. Since you could take advantage of Yang Hui’s absence to come here, you must have been watching all day."
"I know my days at school won’t be easy. You’re a righteous person, and if anything happens, you’ll come directly, not act in the dark. If classmates ask about that matter, I hope you don’t answer."
Ye Ling looked up and down at Fu Lei, shaking her head, "You’re truly the most shameless person I’ve ever seen. Do you think by flattering me as a noble person, I will become one? You really make me sick. Now, I don’t want to hear you speak, you can leave."
"Ye Ling, talking like that lacks quality." Fu Lei’s smile remained unchanged. "In the half year I’ve interacted with you, you’ve always been a self-respecting girl, not a petty person."
"Shut up, what right do you have to pick on me? You better stop putting on airs, thinking you’re someone. Fu Lei, you should know what kind of person you are. A poor family isn’t scary and doesn’t deserve ridicule. What’s despicable is that he refuses to face his true self, pretending to be a sunny person, but is dark inside. You just use this facade to cover your darkness, even fooling yourself. Even when things turned out , you still cling to ridiculous fantasies, fooling others and yet wanting others to think you’re not wrong. You’re truly pathetic, just like a clown dominated by his illusions." Although Ye Ling is a college student, in her past life she wasn’t very cultured, but it’s different this time. She knows a lot since she’s read many books. Although she hasn’t encountered a freak like Fu Lei, she can see what kind of person he is through his actions and words in front of her. "Fu Lei, I don’t even remember people like you, let alone hate them. Hating only shows I still care about you, that you matter to me. So you can rest assured, I won’t hate. I always seek revenge on the spot."
Fu Lei’s face changed colors, "Who do you think you are? You think you really understand me? What do you know? Do you understand me? You’re just pitying me, sympathizing with me like those hateful people, pretending to care on the surface but mocking me behind my back. Do you really think I don’t know? What’s it like for me to spend New Year’s with your dad? Your dad doesn’t even look up to me. You just invite me to experience your family’s humiliation. Your dad is just an ordinary person. What right does he have to look down on me?" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveI-Fire.ɴet
The smile vanished from Fu Lei’s face, replaced by a menacing look as if he wanted to eat someone. "What can you bring me? Nothing at all. Look at Ma Yue, she likes me and she helps me, but what about you?"
"Shameless." Yang Hui rushed over, just in time to hear the last sentence, and immediately pulled Ye Ling behind her, glaring at Fu Lei. "You still dare to come to Ye Ling? Fu Lei, do you really think Ye Ling is so easy-going? If Ma Yue helps you, why don’t you leave with her? Besides, without Ma Yue, with your family’s condition, how could you possibly come to the beach? Relying on women for a living, Ma Yue is right, you’re just a pretty boy. If you don’t want me to call others over, you’d better leave immediately, or you know what Zhao Guodong’s fists are like."
"Birds of a feather flock together, the same kinds of people stick together." Fu Lei spat out the words and shot Ye Ling a fierce glance before leaving.
Yang Hui grit her teeth in anger, "He really knows how to find opportunities. Did he come just as I left? Could it be he’s been watching us all day?"
"He has indeed been watching us all day." Ye Ling smirked sarcastically, "It’s the first time I’ve seen such a shameless person."
She then recounted the whole incident to Yang Hui, who, after hearing it, unleashed a storm of curses and finally consoled Ye Ling, "Don’t worry, when we return to school, we can secretly give him trouble. But he’s really conceited, thinking he has charm to come and say those things to you."
"Let’s go back." After this incident, Ye Ling no longer had the mood for a walk.
Yang Hui understood, and when they returned to their accommodations, since Ye Ling told Yang Hui not to tell Zhao Guodong or Sui Gang, fearing they might go hit him, Yang Hui complied. However, from that day forward, Yang Hui often reminded them to think of ways to handle Fu Lei when they returned to school, naturally not in an obvious manner.
Sui Gang looked uncomfortable, "I won’t get involved. Anyway, without me, it doesn’t matter. You know my family has some ties with his. Not helping him is already helping you."
Ye Ling smiled, Sui Gang was straightforward, no wonder he was friends with Zhao Guodong and the others. This was typical of kids from the same courtyard, always able to stick together. They spent nearly a month by the sea and never ran into Ma Yue and her group again until they met Fu Lei when school started. Liu Zhiyuan and others only found out about Ye Ling’s matter after returning to school. Without asking Ye Ling, Zhao Guodong had already learned about the situation. (To be continued.
