Rebirth 1979: Hunting wild boars and saving educated youth

Chen Feng frowned, his expression darkening instantly. He grabbed Xu Xue's wrist tightly and said, "Don't eat yet."

His eyes were as cold as ice, piercing straight at Wang Feng.

Wang Feng lowered his head, like an eggplant hit by frost, not even daring to breathe.

The air around them seemed to freeze. Others also noticed that the atmosphere was not right. They cast puzzled glances and asked in unison, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Chen Feng turned to look at Xiao Hai and gestured to him: "Tell everyone exactly what you heard from the waiter just now."

Xiao Hai swallowed his saliva and nervously repeated what the waiter said: "The waiter said that she saw Wang Feng spitting into the sea cucumber and stirring it with his hands..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed instantly, and it was a wonderful scene.

Wan Juan had just eaten half a sea cucumber. When she heard this, she dropped her chopsticks on the table, turned around abruptly and retched towards the wall.

Xie Hong's forehead was throbbing with anger, and he roared, "Wang Feng, what do you mean by that? You're spitting in the food, and you're planning on letting Xu Xue and my boyfriend eat it? If you have something against me, just say it directly, don't resort to such despicable tactics!"

Wang Feng's face turned pale as he flatly denied it: "What are you talking about? How could I do such a thing? The waiter must have framed me!"

Bao Jianguo sneered, "Did the waitress know you? Did she frame you for no reason? Or did you abandon her after having an affair with her, getting her pregnant and refusing to admit it, and now she's coming after you?"

"Bao Jianguo, keep your mouth shut!" Wang Feng was anxious.

"I didn't spit in the food, so I don't know who has a dirty mouth!" Bao Jianguo laughed.

Deng Yongliang said, "Wang Feng, is this true? If the waitress misunderstood you, I'll help you talk to her about it; but if it's true, be a man and don't dare to admit it?"

"I admit it? What do I admit?" Wang Feng's voice rose eight degrees. "You all don't believe me, right? Okay, I won't eat this meal!" After saying that, he threw down his chopsticks and was about to leave.

"Stop!" Chen Feng shouted, "You did something like this at the dinner I invited you to, and you want to just walk away?"

Wang Feng was frightened when he saw Xiao Hai and several others surrounding him. He quickly said, "Seventh Brother, do you believe me? Can I do this?"

Chen Feng had a blank expression on his face: "Xiao Hai, call the waitress over and let her speak."

After a while, the waitress came in and explained the whole thing in detail.

Everyone understood the waiter's words were true. You can't fake a lie; your expression and tone will reveal it. Furthermore, the waiter and Wang Feng were clearly strangers, so there was no reason to wrongly accuse him.

For a moment, everyone felt very uncomfortable and thought: How could there be such a person in the dormitory?

Chen Feng stared straight at Wang Feng, his eyes like a knife, piercing his heart: "Wang Feng, do you have anything else to say now?"

Wang Feng wanted to say something at first, but when he saw Chen Feng's oppressive gaze, he immediately backed off and managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Okay, I did it."

"Why?" Chen Feng asked.

Wang Feng kept his mouth tightly shut, not saying a word, intending to get through it with silence.

But the silence didn't last long. He suddenly exploded, his voice filled with shame and anger: "What's the matter? I can just pay for this plate of sea cucumber! If you have the guts, call the police to arrest me!"

When Chen Feng heard this, a sneer appeared on his lips: "You pay? Okay, then I'll give you this opportunity." As he said that, he waved to call the waiter over and pointed to the price list.

Wang Feng took the price list, glanced at it, and his expression changed instantly.

That plate of ordinary-looking sea cucumbers actually costs sixty-six yuan!

He exclaimed, "So expensive? Isn't this a rip-off?"

At this time, Xiao Hai stood up, his voice not loud but every word fierce: "Waiter, bring him tonight's sales list and let him see if every plate is priced this way. If not, I'll show you the purchase order for sea cucumbers as well."

Xiao Hai's words sounded quite calm, but Wang Feng felt scared when he heard them.

He knew clearly that the few dozen dollars in his passbook could not even buy half of the plate of sea cucumbers.

"Can...can I wait for two days?" Wang Feng's tone softened, with a hint of pleading.

Chen Feng thought for a moment and said slowly, "Since we're roommates, I won't make things difficult for you. Take out your passbook and I'll give you whatever's in it. This plate of sea cucumbers is yours."

After saying that, he turned to look at Xiao Hai: "Help him eat the sea cucumber."

Xiao Hai responded, and then went forward with a few people, held Wang Feng, and forced the plate of sea cucumbers into his mouth.

The people around were stunned and muttered to themselves that Chen Feng usually looked very low-key, but he was unexpectedly so ruthless when something happened.

Wan Juan took one look and immediately grabbed the wine bottle on the table. Without hesitation, she rushed over and poured it on Wang Feng's head: "Eating sea cucumber? I'll give you some more wine!"

Chen Feng watched this scene and patted Xie Hong's shoulder gently: "Brother, cherish her well, Wan Juan has a good personality."

Xie Hong smiled bitterly: "Seventh Brother, please stop joking with me."

"I'm telling the truth." Chen Feng stared at him seriously. "Wan Juan really deserves your good treatment."

Xu Xue next to him was unhappy and interrupted, "What about me? Am I not good enough?"

Chen Feng laughed heartily: "Hello, of course you are the best!"

The meal was really disappointing. After the meal, Chen Feng did not return to the dormitory. He was thinking about asking someone to help him put away his clothes.

He sent Xu Xue home directly, and then walked back slowly alone.

The house was quiet and deserted, with only him at home.

He wondered whether he should call his mother, but when he looked at the time, it was already so late, and he was afraid of disturbing the old man's rest, so he decided not to.

He didn't know how, but he turned and walked to Ning Yao's room.

When I opened the door, the room was quiet, with only the occasional sound of wind coming from outside the window.

He lay down on Ning Yao's bed, smelled the familiar scent on the quilt, and suddenly felt very at ease.

The smell of Ning Yao made him feel warm inside, but at the same time he began to miss her.

I don’t know where she is now. I guess she is with Governor Ning. Do you want to go over and see her?

He lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, feeling undecided.

After a long pause, he sighed and thought, forget it. He was about to go abroad, and there was no point in meeting her now, just in case things got unpleasant. It would be better to give them some time and space, which would be good for both of them.

But he really missed her in his heart. He hadn't seen her for several months and it seemed that time passed very slowly.

Now I have to go to the United States for another year, which seems like a long time just thinking about it.

But it’s okay. A year is enough time for both of them to calm down and think carefully about this relationship.

He just lay in bed, his mind full of thoughts.

As he thought about it, his eyelids began to droop, and before he knew it, he had fallen asleep on Ning Yao's bed. In his dream, he seemed to see Ning Yao's smiling face again and hear her voice...
