Chapter 10 Enemies Are Bound To Meet

• It was already evening when Qin Ming got back to the university.
• He was thinking where to have his dinner, suddenly his dormmates called: “Ming, let's meet up at Man Fu Restaurant later. I'll introduce some beautiful girls from the business school to you.”
• “I'm not interested.” Qin Ming rejected them.
• But Zhao Liniu insisted, “Ming, out with the old, in with the new. It's time for you to move on. Li Meng shows off her fun times with Yang Wei in the WeChat group every day. She is so annoying. You can't let that bitch look down on you, right? Besides, it doesn't matter if you don't like your date, there's no obligation.”
• Qin Ming knew it was hard to turn them down. His buddies had been worrying about him and he shouldn't disappoint them. So he said, “Okay, I'll be right there.”
• Man Fu Restaurant.
• Qin Ming walked to the private dining room. As soon as he opened the door, he heard a familiar woman's voice talking loudly: “Let me tell you. A weirdo stole my breakfast today. I thought I only read about them online, but I met one myself and he really opened my eyes.”
• “Tsk, tsk. He is so poor that he has to steal other people's breakfast? Is he some stupid country bumpkin?”
• “He's the biggest piece of shit I've ever heard.”
• The girl said angrily, “Exactly. He ate it and he kept denying it, even someone from his class saw it. It's nothing wrong to be poor, but you can't steal and lie, right? He later wanted to pay me back but it turned out that he didn't even have 100 with him. Can you believe it?”
• “Hahaha, he's that weird? “The rest of the people laughed.
• Qin Ming saw from the gap of the door that the girl who's talking was Chen Muling from the business school, who he just met in the morning,
• Why is she here?
• Chen Muling pulled a girl's hand and said, “Hua, please don't introduce such guy to me. Or I'll go crazy.”
• Chen Muling was talking to Liang Shaoyong's girlfriend, Zhao Menghua, who was a senior in business school.
• Zhao Menghua quickly said, “Of course not. The guy Shaoyong is going to introduce you is a top student in the economics class. He has been ranking first in his class for the past three years.”
• Liang Shaoyong smiled and said, “Don't worry, Chen Muling. My buddy is a great person and he's very faithful to love.”
• Sun Zhipeng also chimed in, “I can assure you that. We have been good friends with him for three years. He comes from a humble background, but he is very hardworking and ambitious. He'll surely have a promising future after graduating from university.”
• Zhao Liniu patted his chest and said confidently, “Right, Ming is awesome. He gets the scholarship every year. But his girlfriend is too blind to see how amazing he is. She cheated on him and dumped him. Luckily, it's all over now. Ah, there he is.”
• Qin Ming had decided to leave because Chen Muling was there. He thought that it'd be very awkward if he went in.
• However, Zhao Liniu happened to look at his direction and saw him from the gap of the door.
• Qin Ming had no choice but to enter the room. It would be more embarrassing if he ran away at that moment.
• As soon as he walked in, Chen Muling immediately pointed at him and shouted, “Ah, it's you?”
• Qin Ming saw that there were seven people in the room. Besides his roommates, there were Liang Shaoyong's and Sun Zhipeng's girlfriends, Chen Muling and another girl.
• The atmosphere instantly turned strange.
• Zhao Menghua looked at Qin Ming and Chen Muling with confusion and asked, “Muling, you know him? That's good. We don't need to introduce you then.”
• Chen Muling replied with a scornful smile.
• She folded her arms over her chest and crossed her legs. With a disgusted expression on her face, she said, “Of course I know him. He is the loser who stole my cake.”
• “What?”
• Everyone was in shock. They had never expected that Qin Ming was the freak who they were joking about just now.
• It was an extremely awkward situation.
• They stared at each other, not knowing what to say to break the atmosphere.
• The other girls saw that Qin Ming was actually quite good-looking even though he was wearing cheap clothes. They didn't expect that he would be the dickhead who ate other people's cake.
• They had nothing but contempt for him. You really can't judge a person by his look. And they gazed at him with disdain.
• Qin Ming furrowed his brows. He was no stranger to that kind of disdainful and condescending look which had been weighing down on him like a mountain since he was a kid.
• Zhao Liniu scratched his head. He initially wanted to introduce a nice pretty girl to Qin Ming, hoping to help his buddy get over his breakup. Unexpectedly, Qin Ming and the girl had an unhappy episode before. As the leader of the dorm, he thought he needed to alleviate the awkward situation immediately.
• So he asked, “Ming, what happened?”
• Qin Ming explained, “It's a misunderstanding. Zhao Fugui put the cake on my desk. I thought someone gave it to me so I ate it. I was indeed too reckless.”
• Liang Shaoyong clenched his fist and said, “Zhao Fugui, that asshole! Qin Ming, I know you would never do such thing.” He then nudged his girlfriend.
• Zhao Menghua immediately took the hint. She didn't believe what Qin Ming said, but her boyfriend had so much faith in him. She had no choice but to quickly pacify her junior: “Muling, this is a misunderstanding. Someone set him up.”
• Chen Muling wasn't satisfied after hearing their explanation. Instead, she blew up.
• Springing up from her seat, she pointed her finger at Qin Ming and berated him, “These are all excuses. The cake only costs about 100. I don't care about the money. The problem is you keep denying it. Who do you think you are? Look at yourself. You look like a beggar. Why would anyone want to set you up with a cake? You think too highly of yourself. You're a real man if you admit it, but you keep denying it. Why is it so hard for you to realize your mistake? So what if you have good grades? You don't have integrity and you're a dickhead! Hua, I really appreciate your kindness. But seeing his face makes me sick. I can't stay here any longer. Besides, there are other guys who want to ask me out.”
• Chen Muling was really angry. She had been single for almost three years in university. But after seeing how sweet and happy Zhao Menghua was with her boyfriend, she suddenly desired for love.
• It just happened that Zhao Menghua mentioned about introducing them the top student in the economics class. Chen Muling thought that there was no harm to go socializing. If she really hit it off with the guy, maybe she could also taste the joy of love.
• Unexpectedly, the guy turned out to be the dickhead who stole her cake and he even licked the box. She was so disgusted at the thought of it.
• Chen Muling grabbed her bag and was about to leave, but the other girls stopped her.
• It would be more awkward if Chen Muling left.
• Qin Ming was grateful for his buddies' help, but he had spoiled everyone's mood and he couldn't embarrass them further.
• So he said, “Oh yah, I forgot I have to go to work. I'm off now. I'll treat you dinner next time. Bye.”
• Qin Ming left first in the end as he didn't want to put his buddies in a difficult position.
• Suddenly, his phone vibrated. Nie Haitang sent him a message: Qin Ming, do you still want your camera back? I'm waiting for you at the bamboo grove.
• After reading the text, Qin Ming knew that he wouldn't be able to eat his dinner tonight.
