Chapter Forty-Three: Xu Long's Reversal

  Zhang Kun saw me coming in and immediately smiled.

  "What's so funny?" I stared at Zhang Kun with a straight face.

  "These past few days, I've been dreaming of us living together, and now it's finally come true." Zhang Kun looked at me with a hint of a smile. "Li Jie, this move is quite ruthless."

  "You think you're ruthless? I can be more ruthless than you." I frowned and said.

  "Li Jie, you're getting more and more interesting. You're the first person to fool me and also the first person to put me in the hospital." Zhang Kun said coldly, "Li Jie, you've fully enraged me."

  "What's it to you if I'm angry?" I said disdainfully. "Do you want to eat me up or something?"

  "No, no, no, I won't eat you, but I'll let you taste the feeling of being worse off than dead," Zhang Kun said with a cold smile.

  "Bring it on then, I've never tried it before and was just about to give it a shot," I said provocatively, not intimidated by Zhang Kun's threat at all.

  "Hmm, Li Jie, your tough talk won't last long. Your nickname 'Turtle' has already spread throughout the campus. Even if you manage to rally now, no one will want to associate with someone like you. Once something happens, not even the school will dare to take you back." Zhang Kun sneered and said "When I return to campus, I'll make sure to suppress you completely"

  "If you have the ability, come on over! What's the point of bragging to me now? I'm a patient right now, don't keep making noise. If you continue to brag, I'll switch rooms right now." I originally didn't want to live in the same ward as this Zhang Kun, it's just that I was afraid this kid would cling to me and not let go.

  "Don't go, it's so boring without you. Later my brothers will come to see me, and then I'll see if your brothers dare to come in and see you." Zhang Kun said with a laugh.

  "You're really despicable, this is what you've been planning" I furrowed my brow, it turned out that Zhang Kun had arranged for me to be in the same hospital room as him, and this was his true intention.

  "From today on, I will spend every minute and every second thinking of you." Zhang Kun said coldly, staring at me "I will make you feel like you are in a living hell, and dare not step in again."

  "Stop bragging, okay? If you continue to blow your own horn, I'll really think about going over there and giving you a good scolding. You're just a weak scholar, how can you boast without feeling ashamed?" I disdainfully glanced at Zhang Kun "Do you really think you're the King of Hell? Who dies or lives is up to you? I know you hate me now, but I'm not afraid of you. Trying to intimidate me won't work."

  "It's just making me feel sick"

  After school, Gao Tianwei, Wang Dong and others came as expected, bringing beer and snacks. He Shuai carried a foldable table.

  Zhang Kun and others started drinking, completely ignoring my existence. After half a drink, Wang Dong, who was drunk, began to provoke me again. "I said, Jie Ge, do you want to come down and have a drink with us?"

  I didn't bother with him, I knew he had just been beaten by Qiang Ge today and must be quite resentful of me.

  "Li Jie, what's with the sudden interest in visiting this hospital room?" Gao Tianwei laughed and said with a hint of disdain in his eyes. "It can't be because of that joke Zhang Kun made, could it?"

  "Right, Brother Kun was just joking, look at how scared this kid is," said Chen Guang, the last of the Golden Fighters.

  "Hey, I advise you to get out of here quickly, otherwise when we brothers get drunk later, we can't control our hands and feet."

  "Yes, I'm also afraid of accidentally hitting someone again!"

  "You can try it out with your own hands!" At this time, San Jie's clear voice floated in from the doorway.

  "If anyone dares to touch a single finger of my brother in the hospital, I'll find someone to break his arm!" The third sister looked at Gao Tianwei and others with a serious expression.

  "Third sister, Wei Ge and I were just joking with Li Jie!" Wang Dong mediated, "Even if we had a grudge against Li Jie, we wouldn't dare make a move in the hospital."

  "You don't dare to make a move in the hospital, I do! If I find out you're bullying my brother in the hospital, I'll never let you off! Don't forget, this hospital is just one street away from the internet cafe!"

  The Internet cafe street is said to be under Brother Qiang's protection.

  "Third sister, even if you don't say it, we know that this is not far from the internet cafe street." Gaotianwei chuckled and said "However, this hospital seems to be close to the city that never sleeps too!" The city that never sleeps is also a prosperous area of our city. There's a guy named Huamei who controls that place. He's actually a distant cousin of Gaotianwei, and can be considered his backer. Because Huamei relies on women to get ahead, Strong Brother has always looked down on him. The two men have always been like fire and water, but their abilities are about the same, so neither can do anything to the other.

  This is also what I heard from San Jie later on.

  Gao Tianwei's words were meant to use the flower boy to suppress Da Ge, and San Jie immediately took offense. "Gao Tianwei, what do you mean by this? Are you provoking my brother?"

  "Third sister, how dare I provoke Strong Brother?" Gaotianwei immediately smiled "I was just casually saying it, Third Sister misunderstood my meaning."

  "Hehe" San Jie thought that she still had to negotiate with Gao Tianwei over the weekend, so she didn't continue arguing.

  After a while, the fat man came and bought a roasted chicken. The fat man saw Gao Tianwei's people eating and drinking, feeling very unhappy, immediately took out money to ask Liu Shuai to go to the restaurant outside to stir-fry some dishes and bring them back. I don't know where San Jie got the magical power from, but he actually brought a small square table from the hospital, and the four of us started eating and drinking too.

  Zhang Kun's wishful thinking was once again disappointed. With San Jie here, those who came to see me no longer had any reservations.

  What I didn't expect was that Xu Long had arrived.

  I believe that with Xu Long's abilities, he should know that Zhang Kun and I are living in the same ward. I really didn't think he could come, but since he can, it means he is telling Gao Tianwei that I, Li Jie, am his friend Xu Long.

  I didn't expect Xulon to stand on my side at such a critical moment, which makes me feel a little moved and also a bit unexpected.

  I've always felt that something was off, after all I've known Xu Long for so long, he's always been cautious and worldly, but this time he gave me a weird feeling.

  "Huh, Dragon Brother, how did you come?" Wang Dong saw Xu Long coming in and immediately stood up to greet Xu Long. "You're here to see Zhang Kun, right? This is too polite! And you even brought a gift!"

  Actually, Wang Dong knew that Xu Long wasn't there to see Zhang Kun, he just wanted to make it impossible for Xu Long to back down. Since Wang Dong had welcomed Xu Long so warmly, if Xu Long were to refuse now, wouldn't that be a huge loss of face?

  Not only did he slap Wang Dong in the face, but also made Zhang Kun feel like he couldn't show his face.

  Xu Long smiled slightly "Sorry, Wang Dong, you misunderstood me. I came to see my brother Li Jie, didn't expect Zhang Kun was also hospitalized. Next time I'm free, I'll bring a gift and visit him again."

  Wang Dong's face turned black all of a sudden.

  Even Gao Tianwei was somewhat angry.

  "Xu Long, did I just hear that wrong? You said you came to see your brother? When did Li Jie become your brother, Xu Long?" asked Gao Tianwei, turning his head and looking at Xu Long indifferently.

  "Haha, we've already paid our respects a few days ago, but Li Jie is a low-key person and didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so it was done very privately. Wei Ge, you don't need to interfere with this kind of thing, do you?" Xu Long said with a chuckle.

  "This is a private matter, I don't care about it naturally. But Li Jie has raised the flag and you have also raised the flag. You two won't be forming an alliance or something, will you? I absolutely do not allow that." Gao Tianwei said with a light smile "I've already said it when I was fighting against the senior of high school, we can't form any messy alliances"

  "What about the Four Great Golden Arhats?" Xu Long's face turned cold as he asked, "Do the Four Great Golden Arhats count as an alliance?"
