Reborn in 1999: Starting as a black marketeer

When I got back to the dorm, it was already a little past six o'clock, which was dinnertime, and the hallway was quite lively.

Because Wang Feiyang returned late, he called Zhang Liang in advance to inform everyone that no one could cook while he was away, so everyone ate separately tonight and there was no group dinner.

Before he even reached his own door, he heard laughter coming from room 707 next door. Since the door was open, Wang Feiyang subconsciously turned his head to look, and then he was stunned.

He saw Hu Yang chatting and laughing with Guo Juan and Hu Xiaoyun in the room, looking quite happy.

When did this guy get involved with Guo Juan and Hu Xiaoyun...?

Guo Juan and Hu Xiaoyun probably didn't know what happened that night, since the conflict ended in just a few minutes. Guo Juan and Hu Xiaoyun were probably watching a movie at the time and probably didn't hear anything, since their doors were never opened.

It doesn't matter. Even if I don't get along with Hu Yang, I can't expect Zhang Liang, Guo Juan, Hu Xiaoyun, and the others to also be at odds with Hu Yang. I don't have that power.

However, Wang Feiyang still felt a little unhappy. He knew what kind of scum Hu Yang was, so he naturally didn't like his friend associating with such a person.

Shaking his head, Wang Feiyang turned around and went to his door, taking out his key to open it.

Just then, Liu Yingying came out of the kitchen carrying food. Seeing Wang Feiyang, she quickly waved and greeted him, "Feiyang, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"Not yet, I just got back from the company," Wang Feiyang replied, stopping in his tracks.

"Come eat here, I made a lot." Liu Yingying walked over quickly and said with a smile, showing Wang Feiyang the dishes she had just made.

One tomato and egg stir-fry, one onion and egg stir-fry...

Although the dishes are all very simple, being able to cook two dishes in one meal is already considered "unusual" among newly arrived international students!

Wang Feiyang didn't stand on ceremony and nodded with a smile, saying, "Alright then, let me change my clothes and wash my hands before I come over... By the way, is it convenient for you? How about we eat in my room?"

Liu Yingying doesn't live alone; she has Zhuzhu with her, which is why Wang Feiyang asked that question.

"It's okay, you know Zhuzhu, she won't mind. Come on over." With that, Liu Yingying went into her room.

Wang Feiyang had just opened the door and entered his room, and before he could close it, he heard footsteps. Guo Juan peeked out from the doorway and said with a grin, "Brother Feiyang, you're back! Haven't eaten yet? Why don't you come over to our place for a bite? We have a new friend here, and he cooked today. It looks pretty good, and it'll be more lively with more people."

She must have heard Wang Feiyang and Liu Yingying talking. As for the "new friend" she mentioned, it should be Hu Yang, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Wang Feiyang smiled and shook his head, saying, "Never mind, I just promised Yingying I'd go to her place for a meal. Maybe next time."

He didn't even ask Guo Juan how she met Hu Yang; there was no need. He wouldn't stay at school all the time anyway, and he didn't care about those petty squabbles between classmates.

Guo Juan's eyes darted around, and she said persistently, "Then... how about we invite Yingying too, so we can all eat together?"

"Don't do that. I saw that friend you just met when I passed by your room. He and Yingying have a bit of a history, so it's best not to force them together; it'll cause trouble." He didn't elaborate, nor did he mention that he and Hu Yang almost got into a fight...

Guo Juan's interest was piqued upon hearing this. Her eyes widened, and she lowered her voice, asking gossipy, "What's going on? That Hu Yang and Yingying..."

"It's not what you think. Hu Yang is pestering Yingying, but Yingying doesn't like him, so that's why there's a conflict," Wang Feiyang said with a shrug, not giving Hu Yang any face at all.

Guo Juan looked at Wang Feiyang with suspicion, seemingly a little disbelieving. "But... I think Hu Yang is a very helpful person. Today, when we came back from school, we were really grateful for his help. He took us to buy tickets and stuff."

Wang Feiyang was speechless and didn't know what else to say, otherwise he would seem like a petty person who gossips behind people's backs...

In the end, he politely declined Guo Juan's invitation. After Guo Juan left, he changed into comfortable clothes, washed his face, and went to Liu Yingying's room.

Liu Yingying and Zhuzhu were both waiting for him to come over for dinner. When he knocked on the door and came in, Liu Yingying happily went to greet him and helped him get bowls, chopsticks, and drinks. Zhuzhu was still a little shy. She just greeted Wang Feiyang and then sat there with her head down, not daring to say a word.

…………

Meanwhile, after Guo Juan returned home, Hu Xiaoyun asked with concern, "Is Feiyang coming over for dinner?"

Hu Yang sat to one side, his eyes darting around, seemingly lost in thought.

"He already promised Liu Yingying he'd eat there, so forget it, let's eat by ourselves." Guo Juan's tone was a little sour.

However, because of what Wang Feiyang had just said, she glanced at Hu Yang and thought to herself, "I didn't realize this guy was so brave. Looking like that, he still dares to pursue Liu Yingying..."

Perhaps because they had both been around, Guo Juan felt that she got along quite well with Hu Yang, and the two had common topics. Even though Wang Feiyang's tone indicated that he didn't like Hu Yang, it didn't affect her.

Today, she took the initiative to invite Hu Yang over for dinner, saying that since he had helped her, having dinner together would be like making another friend, and Hu Xiaoyun couldn't refuse.

"Liu Yingying... I know her, she's quite famous among the preparatory students," Hu Yang said casually.

"Oh? How did you become famous? Is it because you're pretty?" Guo Juan asked with genuine interest.

"Hehe, being pretty is one thing, but she's also quite shrewd. As soon as she arrived here, she had several guys fawning over her. I'm quite ashamed to admit that I was one of them back then..." Hu Yang said with a sigh.

This is actually a bit like throwing dirty water on Liu Yingying, but this kind of thing is hard to explain. It's true that quite a few boys are interested in Liu Yingying. After all, who doesn't like a beautiful woman? But what does this have to do with Liu Yingying herself?

In any case, different ways of saying things will evoke different feelings in people.

When Hu Yang heard this, Guo Juan and Hu Xiaoyun subconsciously assumed that Liu Yingying was the kind of cunning girl who was a "social butterfly".

"I knew it. As soon as we arrived, Liu Yingying saw that Brother Feiyang was handsome and immediately came over. She was so enthusiastic, tsk tsk..." Guo Juan said with a sneer.

Hu Xiaoyun was too embarrassed to speak ill of others behind their backs, so she simply held her small bowl and ate her food in small bites.

However, she also thought to herself that if Liu Yingying really was that kind of girl, she should find a chance to tell Wang Feiyang, lest he be deceived...
