On the other side.
In Lusha City, at a night market barbecue stall.
"Huh?"
Lu Lianxue exclaimed in confusion.
She looked again in the direction Zhang Wei was looking, back and forth, her face full of bewilderment. "Watching Kamen Rider? Where? Zhang Wei, are you seeing things? I don't see any Kamen Rider."
Zhang Wei smiled. He couldn't explain the reason, so he casually made up an excuse: "Probably just my eyes playing tricks on me."
Lu Lianxue chuckled, her smile radiant, and teased, "That's what I said, staying up late is bad for your health. Look, you're even hallucinating. Why don't you follow Zhang Chao while he's still around? It's a good time to get a check-up at the hospital. I suspect you have kidney deficiency."
Zhang Wei replied, "Class monitor, you actually said I have kidney deficiency? I'm shattered, my mental state has collapsed, I'm going to be depressed."
"Haha, not to that extent, not to that extent," Lu Lianxue responded with a laugh.
Zhang Wei said slowly, "It is to that extent. Class monitor, you need to know how much damage it does when a girl, especially a pretty girl, tells a guy he has kidney deficiency. You can say we men have less hair or are short, but you can't say we have kidney deficiency. That's our male dignity."
Lu Lianxue's eyes curved into crescent moons as she laughed, her smile radiant. "Pretty girl? Can I take that as you calling me pretty?"
Zhang Wei replied, "No, how could I be praising you? Lu Lianxue, the flower of class 3, the department flower, and the campus belle of Lusha University, please be more reserved."
Lu Lianxue's smile grew even brighter, and she playfully hit Zhang Wei. "As Xiao Lin said, you're really good with your words."
As soon as she said that.
Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, then nodded solemnly. "Yes, I admit that. My verbal skills are very impressive."
Lu Lianxue laughed. "Although we use the same words and characters, why do I feel like we're not talking about the same topic? Zhang Wei, I suspect you're being suggestive. The tire marks on my face are evidence."
Zhang Wei smiled, then curiously asked, "By the way, class monitor, you're still chatting with Xiao Man... I mean, Xiao Lin? Since when? Why didn't Xiao Lin tell me?"
He didn't know.
At the last anime convention, Lu Lianxue and Qiu Xiaolin, both being anime fans, not only chatted enthusiastically at the convention but also added each other as friends afterward and often discussed anime and other topics.
When Zhang Wei mentioned Qiu Xiaolin, Lu Lianxue's beautiful eyes blinked, and she smiled playfully. "What's this? You're interested when Xiao Lin is mentioned? But I won't tell you what we talked about. Girls' private conversations are for girls only, boys can't ask, da me yo~"
As she spoke.
Lu Lianxue suddenly recalled her conversations with Qiu Xiaolin and the others.
Because she became good friends with Qiu Xiaolin, Qiu Xiaolin pulled Lu Lianxue into their dorm's four-person sister chat group. Zhang Ya and the others often teased Qiu Xiaolin about Zhang Wei, and one time they even discussed Zhang Wei.
That time.
Zhang Ya instigated in the group chat, asking Qiu Xiaolin about her first time with Zhang Wei. Qiu Xiaolin, unable to resist Zhang Ya and the others' teasing, replied, "It was nothing much, just soft persuasion and gymnastics," but was then hounded by Zhang Ya and the others for details about their first time, which happened after eating seven yuan worth of spicy hot pot...
Thinking of this.
Lu Lianxue couldn't help but blush, secretly glancing at Zhang Wei, and murmured softly, "I didn't expect you to be so adventurous."
"Hmm? What did you say, class monitor?" Zhang Wei, not hearing clearly, turned back to ask.
"Nothing," Lu Lianxue dodged Zhang Wei's gaze, her face flushed.
Zhang Wei, not understanding, thought Lu Lianxue was speaking ill of him and habitually made a suggestive joke. "Class monitor, you don't really think I have kidney deficiency, do you? Just kidding, I don't have kidney deficiency. If you don't believe me, I'll treat you to seven yuan worth of spicy hot pot another day, so you can see how good my kidney function is."
*Swish!*
As soon as he said that.
Lu Lianxue's face instantly turned red, her mind flooded with imagined scenes of her and Zhang Wei performing a duet of gymnastics, just as Qiu Xiaolin had described, with all sorts of difficult gymnastic moves.
Fortunately, as they were chatting, they had already arrived downstairs at the apartment building.
"I'm home, Zhang Wei. I'm going back to sleep. You should get some sleep early too," Lu Lianxue said, covering her face to hide her blush.
Zhang Wei heard this and continued to tease her. "Okay, remember to dream of me, class monitor, hahaha."
"Dream of your head! You're making suggestive jokes again. I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going back." Lu Lianxue felt her face getting hotter and quickly dropped a sentence and hurried upstairs.
Zhang Wei, not understanding, smiled and watched Lu Lianxue go upstairs before turning to leave.
He didn't notice.
Not long after he walked away.
A small head peeked out from under the apartment building. It was Lu Lianxue, her beautiful eyes sparkling, her small face flushed as she secretly watched Zhang Wei leave.
On the other side.
Zhang Wei walked on the road, stroking his chin and muttering, "I have been staying up late a lot these days. I wonder if I have kidney deficiency. Calculating the time, it's been a while since I had a health check-up."
Having died once in his previous life.
Zhang Wei paid more attention to his health than others and went for regular check-ups at the hospital.
Now, calculating the time, it was almost time for his regular check-up.
"Zhang Chao and Wunian are at the hospital. I'll go find them after I wake up and get a physical examination at the same time."
Zhang Wei muttered to himself, picking up his phone to call Zhang Chao and the others, to tell them not to bother looking for him after they finished, he would find them later.
Just as he opened WeChat.
*Ding dong.*
A WeChat notification sounded.
Someone had sent him a WeChat message.
Swiping to check the message, the sender was "Idiot Dad."
"Dad?"
Zhang Wei was stunned. He hadn't expected his dad to send a message.
[Idiot Dad]: Son, do you know what day it is tomorrow?
Looking at the message.
Zhang Wei opened his calendar and realized it was his dad's birthday tomorrow. Zhang Wei suddenly understood, no wonder his dad sent a message, it was his birthday.
Immediately.
Zhang Wei typed a message.
[Zhang Wei]: I know, Dad, it's your birthday.
[Idiot Dad]: If you know, shouldn't you show some appreciation? *Implied look.jpg*
[Zhang Wei]: Dad, happy birthday.
[Idiot Dad]: That's it? Just happy birthday?
[Zhang Wei]: How about I say it again? Dad, happy birthday.
[Idiot Dad]: Happy your mom, damn it! You don't even have money, what's there to be happy about.
[Zhang Wei]: Dad, money, I just transferred it to you via Alipay. Didn't you receive it?
As soon as the message was sent.
The next second.
[Idiot Dad]: Hehe, my son is the best. Dad loves you. When are you coming back, son?
[Idiot Dad]: Son, I checked Alipay, but I didn't receive anything. Did you really send it?
[Zhang Wei]: Oh, I transferred it to the wrong person, I sent it to Mom.
[Idiot Dad]: Then it really is happy your mom.
[Idiot Dad]: You unfilial son!!
