Chapter Thirty-Four: Let's Go Play at My House

  Xie Wujie followed the mysterious man away, and no one knew where they went or what they did. Nor did anyone know how he would help Xie Wujie avenge himself against me.

  But if I were present at that time, I would be very surprised, because this mysterious man was the yellow-skinned person I had offended before.

  I didn't expect that after so many years have passed, he still remembers his hatred for me and wants revenge.

  Unfortunately, I wasn't here and didn't know about this matter.

  The next day, I came to school as usual and couldn't help but take a few more breaths of the fresh air.

  Arrived at the classroom, still chit-chatting and looking at my girlfriend. The teacher is lecturing with great enthusiasm, but I don't know if it's because I'm not born with a talent for English or because my patriotic heart is too strong, anyway, looking at the English textbook is like reading a heavenly book, very difficult to understand.

  Sometimes I also wonder why it was so easy for me to learn when I first entered junior high school, but now the difficulty of learning is so great.

  Finally I understood, it turned out to be because of a change in teacher.

  The man standing on the podium, spitting stars everywhere, has a drunken face, is stuttering, and speaks with a bit of a lisp. Due to my innate aesthetic sense, I don't want to listen to his lecture.

  And when I was in junior high school, the English teacher was a beautiful woman who had just graduated from university, with a slender figure and a charming fragrance, so under the support of masculine nature, I studied hard and naturally learned it.

  Comparing the two, I find that ancient people were very wise. They knew that men and women working together wouldn't get tired from work, let alone studying.

  Just as I was daydreaming, I suddenly saw a person through the window of the back door. It was Xie Wujie, who I had slapped three times yesterday. He was now smiling at me with a friendly face and waving his hand in greeting. This kid can't really be a dog, can he? A beating and he's already forgotten.

  I looked at him with a skeptical attitude, glanced at him several times, and found that he was smiling so brightly, laughing so sincerely. So I nodded to Wang Yu to take a look outside the window, and he also saw it.

  Someone whispered to me: "Floating life, what's wrong with this kid, why is he smiling so slyly?"

  "I don't know, maybe he's afraid we'll bother him again, so he came to apologize." I guessed.

  Seeing Xie Wuji wave his hand indicating me to go out, I stood up and raised my hand saying: "Teacher, sorry, I have a stomachache, need to go to the toilet."

  "Go ahead, next we will be explaining grammar..." The teacher said a sentence and continued with the lesson.

  I stood up and walked out of the front door, came outside and saw Xie Wuji standing there smiling at me.

  I rubbed my nose in confusion and walked up to him, saying: "Kid, what's wrong now? Don't tell me you're still not convinced, want to make a bet with me?"

  "What's the point, Brother Zhou? I've come to apologize. Yesterday, I was wrong to fight with you. If you want, you can hit me a couple of times to vent your anger, and in the future, I'll follow you." Xie Wujue said, flattering him.

  I took a closer look at him, then glanced at the sun outside to make sure it wasn't rising from the west. I'm not a troublemaker in school either, hanging out with me isn't messing around.

  "No, I'm not a rascal, nor do I want to take on an apprentice. You'd better find someone else. Never mind, I'll just go back to class." Just as I was about to leave, Xie Wujie grabbed my hand and said sincerely.

  "Brother Zhou, I'm genuinely willing to make amends with you and sincerely came to apologize to you, so please forgive me this time."

  I took my hand away from his, looking at him speaking as if it wasn't a lie. I lowered my head and thought for a moment before saying: "Alright, if you really want to play with us, after class I'll introduce you to someone and see if he's willing to take you along. If he is, then we can all play together from now on, how about it?"

  I want to introduce him to Wang Yu, although Wang Yu is not a leader, but he can be considered as the small head of a group. So if Wang Yu thinks it's okay, then let's play together.

  Not long after the class was dismissed, Wang Yu also rushed out and saw us two standing there. His fiery temper flared up and he shouted loudly: "What's wrong with you little brat? You're not satisfied even after being beaten once, are you coming to ask for another beating?"

  As Wang Yu spoke, a flash of cold light flickered in Xie Wuji's eyes, but it was gone in an instant, and neither I nor Wang Yu noticed.

  "Brother Wang, what are you talking about? I'm here to apologize and join in. I don't know if you'll accept me or not. I'm truly sincere in my apology and hope to get along with you all from now on." Xie Wuji raised his head, a smile spreading across his face as he spoke to Wang Yu.

  But seeing Xie Wuj's extremely sincere smile, even Wang Yu wanted to say something else, but it's not good to hit a smiling face, so he couldn't say anything.

  Then turned around and looked at me, I mean casually, but can't say that now.

  "By the way, what's your name? I only know that your surname is Xie, but I don't know what it is yet?" I turned back to ask Xie Wujie.

  "Thank you infinitely!"

  Then, facing Wang Yu, he said: "Xie Wujie wants to play with us together, take a look, if it's okay, just accept him, one more person doesn't matter."

  After finishing, I said to Xie Wujie: "This is the person I introduced to you, I suppose you also know his name, so I won't say more. If he nods, you can follow us, and yesterday's matter will be over, it's not a big deal. I'll go to the restroom, you guys chat."

  After finishing speaking, he turned around and went out to the toilet. This time it was really going to the toilet, not lying.

  When I came back, I saw them still chatting there, seemingly very happy.

  So I also smiled and went up, opening my mouth to say: "Looking at this situation, it seems we've become brothers, speaking so warmly!"

  "Hmm, from now on, let's all play together. This kid is alright, he talks quite brightly." Wang Yu said.

  Xie Wuji was standing aside, chuckling to himself.

  After saying a few more words, the bell rang and everyone went back to their classrooms for lessons.

  It was agreed that after class, everyone would go out and get to know each other, so they went back to their classroom.

  At noon when school was dismissed, I walked out with Sheng Yanqiu. I planned to see her off for a while. Just as we were about to leave the school gate, I saw Xie Wujie. He seemed to be waiting for someone.

  But I thought we were fine just this morning, so I walked up to him and said: "Why aren't you leaving? Who are you waiting for?"

  "Zhou Ge, I've been waiting for you. I want to formally apologize to you, sorry." After that, he bowed down and gave me a slight bow.

  I hastily said: "What's wrong with you, haven't you already apologized? Why are you still making a big deal out of this? Besides, from now on we're all going to be playing together as brothers. Don't bother with this useless stuff anymore. If there's something on your mind, just say it."

  "Hmm... Alright, I was thinking of inviting you guys to my place this weekend for a day of fun. My house has a big reservoir nearby, so we can swim and catch fish together. What do you think? We'll head back afterwards." Xie Wuji said, his eyes filled with expectation as he looked at me.

  As soon as I heard that we could go fishing and swimming, my heart was also moved a little. But I didn't know if my family would let me go or not. However, at this time, Sheng Yuanqiu next to me opened her mouth and said: "Husband, why don't we just play for a day? It's just right that I'll accompany you together, okay?"

  Seeing her looking at me with a face full of expectation, the two dimples on the corners of her mouth were so sweet, I couldn't say no either.

  So he had no choice but to turn his head and look at Xie Wuji, asking: "Who else are you planning to find to go with?"

  "I was going to look for Wang Yu and the others, isn't this the first place I came to find you? After that, I'll go find them." Xie Wuji replied immediately.

  When I heard that this kid came to me first, I still felt a little proud in my heart, knowing that he took me seriously and it feels good to be valued.

  But I'm not good at promising now, if there are fewer people going, it won't be fun, so I chose a compromise and said to him: "How about this? You go ask Wang Yu and the others what they mean, if they're going, I don't have anything to say, I'll also go. If there are few people going, then it's not fun, and I won't go either. How's that?"

  "Alright, I'll go ask them first, that's settled then, Brother Zhou?" Xie Wuji said, confirming once again.

  "Well, you go ask them first, I'm leaving." After saying that, he pulled Sheng Yanqiu's hand and left the school.

  Xie Wujie was still standing in place waiting for Wang Yu and the others, finally confirming that there were fifteen people going together, all of whom were good friends from our class and grade. They agreed to go to Xie Wujie's home this weekend to have fun.

  Sheng Yanqiu was also delighted and gave me a kiss on the cheek, shouting "husband" and almost electrocuted me.
