Chapter 32 - In the Name of Er'jie

As soon as Shi Lei returned to the dorm, Zhang Mo and the others surrounded him. 

"Shitou, where's your laptop?" Zhang Mo asked in astonishment as he saw Shi Lei with empty hands. 

Shi Lei had been running around for the whole day and was exhausted. He did not have a good sleep last night either and he was not in the mood to pay attention them. He flopped down on the bed and finally felt that his body belonged to him again. 

"I'm asking you, where's your laptop?" Xu Ming chucked a pillow at him. 

Shi Lei threw the pillow on the floor and said impatiently: "I gave it away!" 

"What the hell? You gave away that sick ass laptop? You should've at least let us play on it for a few days first?" Luo Yi was extremely unpleasant. 

"It's my laptop. I can give it away whenever I want. If I let you play on it for a few days, people will see that it's second-hand. How can I give it away like that?" 

"Who did you give it to? As expected of a fuerdai, giving away an 80,000 yuan laptop so casually." Xu Ming sighed. 

"A guy or a girl? I'm guessing a girl, otherwise our gaofushuai(1)……. Uh, not that tall, and not that handsome, but definitely rich! It's definitely a girl, right?" Luo Yi said. 

Xu Ming immediately followed up: "Obviously it has to be a girl. Do you even need to ask this? Giving away an 80,000 yuan laptop to a guy? Unless there's something wrong with Shitou's sexual orientation." 

But Zhang Mo frowned and asked: "Shitou, you left first when we were at the bar last night, but you came back later than us. No way, don't tell me that you met a girl at the bar and gave it to her?" 

Xu Ming and Luo Yi yelled together: "Shitou, don't get scammed! Sure, you can play around with the girls from the bar, and you don't care about the money. But eating and drinking is fine, how can you give away an 80,000 yuan laptop so casually?" 

Shi Lei was annoyed and yelled loudly: "No, no, no! It's a girl, alright, but she's a friend whom I grew up with and has nothing to do with the bar. Can you stop being so noisy? Can you let me sleep for a while?" 

The three of them looked at each other, nodded at the same time and said: "Girlfriend, innocent playmates. Tsk tsk, there's nothing more we can say then. Shitou, when are you gonna show her to us?" 

"Fuck off, I need to sleep." 

"Nope, you have to explain it clearly. Everyone in our dorm is single. University is about to come to an end yet none of us is in a relationship. Now that you finally have something going on, you have to tell us in detail." The three made a fuss. 

Shi Lei covered his head with the blanket but he could not resist them working together. He sat up helplessly and called: "If you can let me sleep for two hours, I'll treat you guys dinner!" 

The three of them exchanged glances again and devious smiles on their faces. They opened their mouths together in synergy: "Bar after dinner and continue from last night!" 

Shi Lei only wanted to have a good sleep. Plus, after selling the laptop, he only gave Sun Yiyi 60,000 yuan and still had over 10,000 yuan on him so naturally, he did not care about spending more money. 

"Fine, I'm begging you, just let me sleep for a bit!" 

The three of them finally left and Shi Lei fell asleep. 

When he woke up, it was already past seven. Shi Lei looked at the time and was surprised that Zhang Mo and the others did not wake him up. 

"It's already seven, why didn't you wake me up?"

"You were sleeping too soundly so we didn't want to wake you up. We don't really care about dinner, and it's a bit too early to go to the bar right now." 

Shi Lei swore and stuck up his middle finger at them. 

The four single men left the dorm together and had some random food near the school gate. Zhang Mo and the others' interest in the bar was much greater than having dinner and they didn't rip Shi Lei off for food. They only ordered a stir-fried chicken and a few bowls of noodles. After that, they were making a big fuss while going to the bar. 

It was the same bar as last night. The waiter saw that they seemed a bit familiar, he remembered that they were the four from last night, and hurried up and led them to the room again. 

The traffic lights had sharp eyes and saw Shi Lei. Without knowing why, ever since that time, they were rather scared of Shi Lei. Although they did not want to come in contact with Shi Lei, but since they saw him, they braced themselves to toast to Shi Lei. They even called the waiter and gave them a discount.  

Zhang Mo and the others were rather curious. Initially, they saw three flashy guys come over and thought they were picking a fight, but they did not think that they came over to toast and give them a discount. 

Shi Lei could only make up a story: "Do you think everyone's blind like you? We've been in the same dorm for three years and none of you realised that I'm a fuerdai with no parallel. This is because my presence is too dazzling that it cannot be hidden anymore. I can't control it but my imperial presence overflew and even the gangsters are serving at my feet……" 

To this, Zhang Mo and the others could only respond to this with three middle fingers, and said a four-letter english word together to express their anger. 

The music was quick-tempoed. The three guys had already found their target and whether they were slim or fat, all swung their hips as they moved onto the dance floor hitting up on the girls. Shi Lei looked at Zhang Mo, who weighed more than 100kg, thinking that although this fatty always pants after a few steps, but he did have a distinctive style when he danced. 

Whilst Shi Lei was drinking wine and eating fruit, once again, he saw another silhouette who seemed familiar just like last night. 

As he had the experience of running upstairs but unable to find the person and encountered Sun Yiyi, he knew that it won't happen again today so he did not bother chasing this time. 

After a moment of pondering, Shi Lei waved towards red light, who was drinking and smoking at the same time. 

Red light was shocked as he saw that. He stared at Shi Lei in disbelief, pointed at himself, meaning, you want to see me? 

Shi Lei nodded. Red light hesitated for a second but walked over. 

"Bro, what's the matter?" Red light asked politely. 

Shi Lei picked up the cigarette on the table and passed him one. Feeling flattered, red light accepted and said: "That's good quality cigarette, Jiu Wu Zhi Zun(2), one case is 110 yuan!" 

Shi Lei threw the entire case of cigar to him and said: "I need to ask you something!" 

Red light pocketed the cigarette in delight, patted his chest and said: "Ask me anything, I promise I'll tell you if it's something I know. Do you have your eyes on some girl? I can call her over for you?" 

"It's actually about a girl. The one who just went upstairs with highlights of different colours in her hair, about…… Hmm, around the same height as you, a rather thin girl. I saw her last night too, she should be a frequent visitor here……" 

Red light recalled with a frown, then slapped his thigh and said: "Bro, the person you are talking about is Er'jie, right?!" 

Shi Lei was on the verge of breakdown. It was really her, and this girl wasn't only called 'Er'jie' on WeChat, but they all called her that outside too! 

"Yeah, that's her." 

"What about it? Bro is interested in her? It isn't easy to hook up with that girl. Last time, I had a bro who fell for her, but she kicked him in the balls and almost made him disabled. It even involved the police. Her family has a law firm and was close with the police. In the end, that bro almost became a eunuch and was even kept in the police's custody for 15 days for public harassment." 

Shi Lei was shocked after listening to this and thought that Zhang Liangliang was an odd girl. Although she was rather rebellious, but she could at least distinguish what she can do and what she cannot. 

"I know her." Shi Lei explained and continued to ask: "To be precise, I know her family. I saw her yesterday and thought it was only my imagination, but I ended up encountering my younger sister. Does she usually hang around on the second floor?" 

"Er'jie is rich, although not like those women…..." Red light pointed towards the girls in rather exposed clothing, hinting that he was looking down on them, "But she's willing to treat others and she has a gang of bros with her. I wanted to go and join the fun but she rejected me because she said I'm ugly!"

Chapter 33 - Masochism

Translator: Lav

Editor: Levs

If it was like this, he did not see the wrong person last night. 

But Shi Lei just called Zhang Mei Mei yesterday and she took Shi Lei's advice so today would be the day they're spending time together. Why was Zhang Liangliang at the bar then? 

Although it had nothing to do with Shi Lei as he was only her tutor, but he decided to check on her. 

"You know which room they are in, right?" Shi Lei asked. 

Red light led Shi Lei upstairs without a word. He pointed at a door and told Shi Lei that Zhang Liangliang was inside. 

Shi Lei thanked red light and he was rather flustered as he watched Shi Lei pushed the door open. 

Shi Lei couldn't help but notice that the room was very soundproof. Before he opened the door, the floor was shaking from the heavy beats of the music, but as soon as the door was opened, the wailing voices in the room immediately buried the heavy music from downstairs, as if a wave of sound prevented Shi Lei from taking a step into the room. 

"What are you doing?" Another little girl dressed in punk style raised her eyes at Shi Lei and asked rather impatiently. 

Shi Lei ignored her and glanced over her head towards Zhang Liangliang, who had her back against him, shouting along to a song which Shi Lei could not recognize the tune.

"Hey, I'm asking you!" Seeing that Shi Lei did not only ignore her, but walked into the room, a boy about 20 years old with excessive hair gel on his head blocked Shi Lei's way and stretched his hand out, wanting to push him. 

Shi Lei frowned and pointed towards Zhang Liangliang: "I'm looking for her." 

"Heaps of people want to see Er'jie, who are you? We are not taking in any newbies today, hurry up and……." Shi Lei pushed him aside without waiting for him to finish his sentence and walked towards Zhang Liangliang, who turned around as she noticed the fuss. 

"Hey, how dare you push me!" The boy was in a bad mood and grabbed Shi Lei's shoulders. 

But at this time, Zhang Liangliang already saw who the person was. She froze on the spot and subconsciously called: "Mr. Shi."

As the microphone was still next to her mouth and it was loud, everyone in the room heard her clearly. 

Shi Lei turned his head around and looked at the boy who grabbed his shoulders. The boy pulled back in embarrassment as Shi Lei's glance fell on his hand and murmured: "What the hell, why would a teacher come here?" He thought that Zhang Liangliang wouldn't pay attention to Shi Lei, but he didn't dare to offend him either as Zhang Liangliang was the one who pays all the bills for their consumptions here. 

"I remember you agreeing to some things I said." Shi Lei walked next to Zhang Liangliang and grabbed the microphone off of her. Then, he carried Zhang Liangliang by her collar and dragged her out of the room like this in front of everyone. 

Since Zhang Liangliang was known in the name of Er'jie, which indicated that her existence was of a little devil's, but the key point was that she was rich and business places like this definitely won't offend this kind of consumers. 

So people who guarded the place like the traffic lights were rather polite to Zhang Liangliang too. Plus, things happened in the past and the person who kicked was fine, but the person who were kicked in the balls was detained, so no one dared to offend her. 

But today, everyone in the room was in a whole new world. A man walked in without a particular reason and he didn't seem to be special, but he grabbed Zhang Liangliang by the collar and dragged her out of the room. The weird thing was that Zhang Liangliang didn't even dare to resist and it left everyone stupefied. 

Red light was also in astonishment as Shi Lei pulled Er'jie out of the room. He secretly gave Shi Lei a thumbs up and thought to himself that thank god he didn't offend him. He tried to achieve his goal at all costs and was even able to subdue a devil like Er'jie, obviously he was a winner who could take both white and black sides. 

Zhang Liangliang felt ashamed. She complained in a low voice: "Let go of me, I can walk by myself!" 

Shi Lei stopped in his track and looked at Zhang Liangliang coldly: "Now you know it's embarrassing? Such a good girl and you made yourself look like this and wasn't shameful of it?" 

Zhang Liangliang's temper shot up. She didn't care about the favourable impression she had on Shi Lei and raged like a feral cat: "Why do you care? Just who do you think you are? Aren't you just a home tutor? Why are you trying to look after me! I can do whatever I like!" 

Hearing the big fuss outside, all the people from the room came out. They heard Zhang Liangliang's words and suddenly realised that it wasn't a teacher, but a home tutor. He looked like a university student and this bunch of youngsters who were clearly bad at studying became arrogant. 

"What the hell? I thought you were some teacher. You are only a tutor, our Er'jie drove away more than ten tutors in just a year, you should talk after you finish these two weeks. Holy shit, I've never seen such an arrogant tutor!" 

"You……" 

Only one person finished speaking. The other person had only said one word when red light tilted his shoulders and walked over with his eyes slanted, and pushed the guy who was standing nearest Shi Lei, causing him to stumble back. 

"Is there any room for you to talk here? You all need to shut the fuck up! If you say anything more, I'll kill you!" 

This bunch of people often hung out here and obviously knew that red light was one of the keepers here. Seeing that red light spoke up for the sake of Shi Lei, they were intimidated. 

They were only some bad kids who hated studying and came out to play. Although they fought a few times, but they didn't have the guts to offend real gangsters. 

Shi Lei looked at red light and said softly: "This is none of your business, I'll take care of it myself." 

Red light retreated to the side without hesitation, but pointed at those people, indicating that they need to restrain themselves more and it magnified Shi Lei's position even more. 

The bunch of people thought, there's no way that Shi Lei was the head of a mafia gang, right? He's way too young. Plus, what's a mafia head doing as a home tutor! Isn't this teasing them? 

As Zhang Liangliang watched this scene, of course she knew who red light was and it was unavoidable for her to have the same misunderstandings and think that he was some big brother in the mafia. 

Usually when girls misunderstood this, even if they don't think that they should stay away from him, but they definitely won't take the initiative and get closer to him. 

But Zhang Liangliang was different. The more she misunderstood, the more her eyes shone brightly from excitement. 

Just by chance, Shi Lei said to her: "Do you want me to press you under the tap and wash these damn colors off, or do you want to do it yourself?" 

Zhang Liangliang's eyes lit up and small stars appeared in her eyes. Not only was she not angry at Shi Lei's tone, but she was extremely excited: "I'll wash myself……. Oh, no, you can press me under the tap and wash it off!" 

Shi Lei was astonished, as well as everyone else. Isn't…... Isn't this slightly masochistic? We can let it pass if you just listen to him and wash it off, but why are you insisting him to press you under the tap? 

"Hurry, hurry, hurry up and take me to wash this off! I know you like girls who are fresh and pure right?!" Zhang Liangliang grabbed Shi Lei's arm in excitement and pulled him towards the washroom. 

Shi Lei was stupefied. This Er'jie didn't seem to be an ordinary person. What the hell is going on inside her mind?

Only red light looked at Shi Lei admiringly, thinking as expected of this big brother. This is probably the 'teaching' he hears about, right? Red light didn't know if Shi Lei would accept him as an apprentice. If Shi Lei did, red light really wanted to sign up for it.  

As Zhang Liangliang saw Shi Lei standing there, frozen, she thought that he was embarrassed as there were too many people looking at them. She immediately cursed in rage: "What are you all looking at?! Go back to singing! I have more than 100 songs in the queue, no one can leave without finishing singing!"
