The Taming of the Ruffian Hero

Chapter 36 (Zhao Yuan Is the Second) The King Returned to Reunite

They met other boys from the same class in the small restaurant. Wang Xiang was very hospitable. He gathered everyone and drunk together.

Lin Wenxi didn’t want to drink at all. Shu Xiaoman was quite into it and Zhang An’an took a few drinks and asked Wang Xiang to pay the bills. Xin Wenxi was watching the waiter change the plates for Zhang An’an one after another. The plates were full of the broken shells of spicy shrimps, the bone of chicken feet, the fishbone of sweet and sour fish, the shell of clams and snails, the fat from pork belly and the scraps from tofu. Zhang An’an was using her chubby hands to slowly open a crab shell and sucked the butter in it.

Shu Xiaoman persuaded Zhang An’an, “The crab is cold-natured, don’t eat too much.” She handed a dish of shredded ginger and said, “I know you don’t like the taste of ginger, but you should eat some.” Zhang An’an didn’t respond. Shu Xiaoman was used to this. She saw the snacks Zhang An’an brought back after the military training and predicted that Wang Xiang would go bankrupt someday.

Wang Xiang felt upset on his way back. He felt sorry for the money he just spent. Zhang An’an starred at him and said, “You invited them. Of course, you’ll pay for them. We just took advantage of it.”

“No, you need to make me understand. Tell me what’s wrong. You are angry, I can tell.” Wang Xiang wouldn’t give up.

When Lin Wenxi and Zhang An’an went back to their own dormitory, Wang Xiang was still asking about what was going on.

“You are so stupid! How great if everyone knows each other and could have a good time chatting. Did you see Wenxi barely talk? He was really shy. Xiaoman hasn’t seen him for so long. They must have lots to say to each other.”

“You’re right. But Do you always wish Wenxi can date with Brother Yuan? Why do you set him and Xiaoman up?”

“From the biology aspect as Zheng Kai said, men, are two-timers.” Zhang An’an laughed.

“I don’t want to hear to this, don’t want to listen to Zheng Kai, don’t want to know about biology... I am not a two-timer... I am... I don’t think other people are worthy, just because of An’an!”

“Looks like you think I’m worthy?” Zhang An’an smiled slightly.

“The beauty of whom I think is somewhere about the water. The modest, retiring, virtuous, young lady, for our prince a good mate she.” Wang Xiang looked at Zhang An’an, provokingly.

“I’m not retiring.”

“In the Tang Dynasty, they believed chubby as beauty...”

“This is modern society now.”

“Ugly An’an, me, Wang Xiang, want to chase you.” Wang Xiang finally stop being elegant and saying poems.

Zhang An’an was about to hit him before her body had been lifted in the air by Wang Xiang. He waddled to the girl’s dormitory and dropped her down. They immediately attracted a lot of onlookers.

“I, like you.” Wang Xiang stretched his hand and rubbed Zhang An’an’s cheek slightly, and then he turned and swayed away.

Zhang An’an frowned with blushed cheeks. She looked at the back of Wang Xiang and said, “Finally act like a real man.” Later, she was still worried about him. So she went to the 24-hour pharmacy and bought sober-up tea. She took it to the boys’ dormitory and asked Lin Wenxi to hand it over to Wang Xiang. Then she finally set her mind at rest.

It was again a few days of military training. Lin Wenxi, as a platoon leader, won much attention from lecturing military theory and organizing military songs. Shu Xiaoman occasionally heard Lin Wenxi’s hearty laughter. It was difficult to believe that he used to be silence and shy. But anyway, she thought that Lin Wenxi was really good-looking when he laughed. She didn’t expect that the training could change him so much.

Chen Wanxin became more active when she came back from home and was really nice to the new roommate, Zhou Nannan. The whole room was united and harmony. Life like this seemed to be really nice. Shu Xiaoman was very satisfied, so did Zhang An’an.

“Report! Class ten has been assembled! Please indicate!” Lin Wenxi saluted standardly and asked loudly.

“At ease! Today’s mission is...” Zhang Dong explained. Afterward, he stood in the distance to watch Lin Wenxi lead the mission.

Zhang Dong also noticed that Lin Wenxi would walk back along after the military training. Lin Wenxi was the brother to everyone on the field. But he had never been very close to anyone. Occasionally, only one girl named Shu Xiaoman would stick with him like sticky candy. Zhang Dong slightly frowned.

Lin Wenxi went to the bathhouse to fetch water. Zhang Dong was also following him, in the distance and silently. Lin Wenxin held a few water bottles by himself. He was very struggling but walked upstairs very steady.

Lin Wenxi and Zhang Dong, after training, only politely said hello to each other if they met. Sometimes he would suddenly smile at him, like remind something. It was like what? It was like completing a task.

Until Zhao Yuan came back.

Yes, Zhao Yuan. They came back, very high-profile return with success. The college held a very grand welcome ceremony for them. Even Zhang Dong, who was used to the grand scene, couldn’t help but recall the grand occasion of the day.

The top two people of the cross-country training in boys team were taken by the computer school class ten, namely Zheng Kai and Zhao Yuan. Cross-country training girls team, first place, computer school, Wang Zhengjuan.

The treatment of the top three was naturally different. They took a military helicopter and landed slowly on the podium. In the roar of the helicopter and the sparkle light of the firework, three boys and three girls, wearing gold, silver and copper metal, walked off the plane.

The first one walked off was Zheng Kai. He wore a dark green camouflage hat and a pair of military radar sunglasses. He smiled very well and kept sending kisses to his classmates on the field. Then there was Wang Zhengjuan, a short-haired and capable girl who had a pair of dashing eyebrows. Then it was Zhao Yuan, wearing a camouflage hat. Exhaustion could be seen from his eyes but a shining smile was still on his face. When he got off the plane, he looked around the field and his eyes fell on Lin Wenxi, who was staring at him too. They were far apart but they smiled at each other.

After everyone left the helicopter, they took a bow to the people on the field. Then they took photos with the leaders before they got off the stage.

The School of Computer had swept the board with the boys’ championship and the girls’ championship. It was said that it was the most brilliant moment in the short history of the college. The dean announced that the corresponding rewards remained unchanged, and the entire college suddenly boiled. The crowds formed by the girls surrounded all six of them, and the boys had to stay outside and sighed.

All the heroes who came back with honor were asked to give a speech.

Zhao Yuan only said one sentence, “Thank you!” The girls on the field suddenly boiled and shouted loudly, “Who is it? Say the name! We’ll make sure not to kill her!” He slowly searched in the crowd for the person whom he hadn’t seen in a few days. Even though he didn’t find her, Zhao Yuan believed that she must be hiding in a quiet corner, soundlessly, just like himself at the moment. So he was very calm. At the moment, Chen Wanxin hugged her hands around her chest and stood side by side with her roommates to talk about the brutal competition that Wang Xiang had heard at the last stop.

“Who do you think he’s talking about?” Chen Wanxin asked with a smile.

Zhang An’an read her face and smiled, “Must be you!”

Shu Xiaoman wanted to say it was Lin Wenxi, and when the words came to her lips, she only said, “I agree.”

“Really? You all know that Zhao Yuan was not talking about me, right? Who was he talking about?” Chen Wanxin said coolly.

“Not me anyway.” Zhang An’an kept shaking her head.

“Not me,” Shu Xiaoman said softly.

“Who is it then?” Chen Wanxin kept asking.

“Chen Wanxin!” The girls were shocked by the voice which came from the podium. They all looked up at the same time.
