Chapter 6

Every girl has many romantic speculations about her first kiss.

I didn’t even have time to speculate before it happened.

The feeling…

Utterly disgusting.

Du Hongting looked me straight in the eye without any shame and said, “Meng Qiqi, your boyfriend can only be me.”

Excuse me, young man,

Do you know that only good-looking people have the right to say this?

Ugly people who have girlfriends are not qualified.

Goodbye, scumbag fat guy.

From then on, I was completely deflated, and my roommate thought I had just gone through a breakup.

After learning about the situation, my senior sister educated me as someone who had been through it before, “You should be smarter. When a man is good to you, usually he has only one purpose, which is to get in your pants.”

I understood the logic, but the key was–

“I never saw him as a man in the first place!”

Senior sister asked, “Is he your male best friend?”

It wasn’t that either.

My relationship with Du Hongting could only be considered an acquaintance.

Senior sister asked, “Is he very ugly?”

I touched my conscience and said, “He’s not bad looking.”

Senior sister asked, “Show me his picture.”

I searched the internet and found a photo of him at a math competition award ceremony.

My senior sister understood after looking at it: “Fat people have no gender.”

I was speechless. 

Just because I didn’t see him as a man doesn’t mean that was the issue.

Because the fat man always acted so serious, I never dared to think of him in that way…

However, it was shameful that–

If it weren’t for those “sister-in-laws”–

I might have really fallen for him.

However, 

What I saw with my own eyes later on, any remaining feelings I had for him were completely erased.

After school, I went to the bookstore to buy textbooks, and on the way back, I passed by the Grand Hyatt Hotel and saw a familiar fat figure.

Unconsciously, I stopped and looked over.

Hmm, it really is him.

He was surrounded by two blonde girls, one on each side. It was obvious what they were there for at this time – a threesome.

Du Hongting,

I’ve decided on my birthday wish this year: I wish you would get AIDS soon.

I don’t know if my wish came true, but right before the final exams, I heard from someone else that Du Hongting, the math genius from the neighboring university, had rejected a full scholarship from MIT and hadn’t been seen for over a month.

I was secretly shocked: did I accidentally blabber about it?

After asking my dad, I found out that the fat guy was fine.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

But things were still not good.

His father had liver cancer and passed away.

Because of the exams, I didn’t attend his father’s funeral.

In reality, I didn’t dare to go.

Putting myself in his shoes, I couldn’t imagine how I would handle it if my parents died. I would definitely not be able to cope and would die alongside them.

Thankfully, I didn’t go.

My mom told me that Du Hongting looked so pitiful that day. His mother was there, as well as her new husband and daughter.

One was a happy family of three, while the other was a lonely individual.

It was too tragic.

After the funeral, no one saw the plump guy again.

In other words, who would bother with him when they had nothing better to do?

His dad’s trading company was in a mess, and nobody was willing to take over.

Everyone was avoiding the hot potato that was the fat guy.

This is where I really admire my dad.

He has a strong sense of humanity.

With the Lunar New Year coming up, he thought of bringing the fat guy back home for a lively celebration, so that he wouldn’t have to face the scrutiny of his relatives in his hometown and be reminded of his sorrowful past.

The task of bringing the fat guy back home fell on my shoulders, and it was quite challenging.

But when I thought about it, personal grudges seemed insignificant in the face of life and death.

I resolutely embarked on the journey to find the plump guy.

My dad had asked around with his relatives and the trading company, but nobody knew where he was.

I was more familiar with the school, but it was almost winter break and it was not easy to find him. I kept asking around until I met Shen Cheng.

Shen Cheng said, “You are the only person he wants to see right now.”

I smiled bitterly, “Misunderstanding, misunderstanding.”

“You are the misunderstanding, not him. He cares about you a lot,” Shen Cheng said. “Remember when Fatty passed out and had to go to the hospital, and I said you were responsible for it?”

I nodded.

Shen Cheng continued, “Actually, everyone knows about Du Hongting’s physical condition. He is the main player of the team and cannot afford to make mistakes at critical moments. But for you, he has been breaking his rules and risking his life just to make you happy. That’s why we all looked unhappy when you came last time. To help you develop the app, he also faced a lot of criticism from others, and he was responsible for catching up with the delayed progress alone. How could he not be tired and get sick? He’s so foolish…”

Oh my.

You don’t have to say anything else. My eyes are sore, I thought in my heart.

I still smiled bitterly, “Does he treat other girls like this too?”

Shen Cheng slapped the back of my head, “Are you stupid?”

I got angry and spilled the beans about what happened with the two sisters-in-law, skipping the second sister-in-law. I still have some emotional intelligence.

Unexpectedly, Shen Cheng laughed after listening, “First, the girl with a Taiwanese accent is a member of the research group. When you rang the doorbell, the entire group was present. Du Hongting went downstairs because he didn’t want us to see you and feel embarrassed.”

I: “…”

“Second, the girl you met in the haunted house is my sister. As for why Du Hongting was willing to accompany her to play, it was completely because I threatened him,” Shen Cheng said.

I asked, “Can you really threaten him with his size?”

I said it casually, but I felt a subtle panic in my heart.

Shen Cheng laughed again, “Don’t you think it’s a bit unrealistic to win a silver 64G iPhone 5 with just a few packs of instant noodles?”

I: ! ! !
