Red Balloon, Chapter 4: Going to the Bar
Xu Yang once again suffered from campus bullying. When he went to the toilet, he had several buckets of water poured on his body by those boys from last time. He was all wet and couldn't go to class.
While Li Xiang Wan didn't go to class, but he ran to the classroom where Xia Zhi Chen was in class. Xia Zhi Chen sat in the last row. He secretly pushed the back door of the classroom, called Xia Zhi Chen in a low voice, and Xia Zhi Chen was surprised to see him, he frowned, and tried to figure out what this guy was going to do, for fear of being seen by the teacher. Li Xiang Wan wrote a note on his desk, and then left.
Xia Zhi Chen opened the note as he looked at the teacher - See you at half past six p.m. at the door of the Student's Dining Room.
It turns out that we are going to have dinner together. Xia Zhi Chen suddenly realized it and put away the note.
Although Xu Yang is often bullied by his male classmates, he is very popular among girls. Seeing that Xu Yang didn't come to class, the monitor went to him immediately and found the men's room. When she knocked on the door, she asked, "Xu Yang, are you in there?"
“You don't mind me, go away!" roared Xu Yang He felt that he was so humiliated now that he didn't want anyone to see him.
Xia Zhi Chen came to the student's dining room as scheduled, and was about to make a meal when Li Xiang Wan grabbed him and said, "Why are you going to have a meal here?"
"Don't you want to have dinner together here?" Asked Xia Zhi Chen.
Li Xiang Wan suddenly thought that such a good student as Xia Zhi Chen was silly and laughed loudly: "Who wants to eat this crappy food? You don't know that the food cooked by the aunt in the canteen are very difficult..."
At this moment, Li Xiang Wan's mouth was covered by Xia Zhi Chen, who stared at him, "Keep it down!" But there was a smile in his eyes. He was very upset about Li Xiang Wan's open mouth.
Xia Zhi Chen never dreamed that Li Xiang Wan would take him to a bar. He is a good student who has never been there before.
When Xia Zhi Chen arrived at the dim bar, he felt like he couldn’t get used to it and asked, "Can we really enter there?"
“Yes!" Li Xiang Wan pulled him to the bar. Looking at the wall slowly, it was filled with all kinds of colorful alcohol, Xia Zhi Chen's eyes are all awed.
"What would you like to drink?" the bartender said warmly
"Long Island Iced Tea."
"Me?" Xia Zhi Chen hesitated. "Milk."
The bartender waved up a fruit knife and said to Xia Zhi Chen, "Say it again! What do you think this is, a children playground?"
Xia Zhi Chen was so scared that Li Xiang Wan teased him: "No one comes here to drink milk!"
“Then I will have tea!" Xia Zhi Chen retorted.
But the bartender was familiar with Li Xiang Wan, so he made an exception and poured him a glass of milk.
Looking at the lights, Xia Zhi Chen drank milk and asked Li Xiang Wan, "Do you come here often before?"
"I used to have a friend who would bring me." Li Xiang Wan stabbed the bottom of the cup with a straw oddly.
Li Xiang Wan ran to the bar and didn't know what to say to the tall man. Xia Zhi Chen turned to look the tall man on the stage sang a song, which was very good.
Xia Zhi Chen tried Li Xiang Wan's Long Island Iced Tea. Unexpectedly, it wasn't tea, but alcohol. He began to feel drunk.
"What do you think of this place?" Asked Li Xiang Wan, touching his shoulder.
"Not bad."
"It's just that it's not bad. I like it here. It's just that the smoke smells a little bad." When it comes to the smell of smoke, Li Xiang Wan frowned and huffed his nose hard.
"I thought you smoked."
"Of course not. The smell of smoke is so bad," Li Xiang Wan said narcissistically with a look of disgust. "I prefer my own fragrance. If you don't believe me, you to smell it."
With that, Xia Zhi Chen came close to him, ready to take off his clothes. Xia Zhi Chen pushed him and said with a smile, "Go away."
"What are you afraid of? You afraid I was going kiss you." Li Xiang Wan was happy with him. "Well, let’s go back."
When Xia Zhi Chen saw the time, he left in a hurry, still murmuring in his mouth. It's so late that he can't even rush to the door.
At this time, Li Xiang Wan rushed to him on his bicycle and winked his eyebrows. "Come on, what time do you expect to make it back if you have to run like this?"
Xia Zhi Chen was going to sit in the back seat when Li Xiang Wan rode forward. Xia Zhi Chen almost fell his butt in the air and got angry. "Li Xiang Wan, you are very childish."
When Xia Zhi Chen got on the bike, he grabbed Li Xiang Wan's bicycle seat and asked, "Where’s your car?"
"Borrowed it from the barman," he pulled Xia Zhi Chen's hand around his waist. "Hold on, let's go."
When Xia Zhi Chen's hand were put on Li Xiang Wan's waist, Xia Zhi Chen felt that his hands were heating up. It's clear however the cool wind blew all the time he kept feeling hot and hot. It may be the sequelae of just drinking wine. Xia Zhi Chen can only think of this reason as the most correct one.
The breeze blew all the way, and this moment may be the most relaxed one for Li Xiang Wan and Xia Zhi Chen for so many years.
"A-Ruo, our son's performance has been very good recently. He must have promising future. He has won many first places. You can rest assured." Xia Zhi Chen's father was paying respects to his wife's memorial tablet. He is always satisfied with his son's performance. He has an excellent character and studies hard and doesn't have to worry about anything.
Xia Zhi Chen was silent. He started to prepare food after wafting the incense for his mother. He goes home to see his father at the weekend. He knows that his father is often busy outside and has little chance to have a good meal with him.
Xia dad ate the delicious meal, but he said: "Didn't I tell you that a man should not go into the kitchen every day. It's so ugly!"
But after complaining, he kept picking up the food and exclaimed, “This dish is really good."
Xia Zhi Chen was very happy, "Right, Dad, I guessed you would like these dishes." These dishes are specially made according to Dad's favorite taste. He has studied them for a long time.
"What is your major in college?" Dad began to worry about his studies again.
"Law. I'm more interested in law."
"Studying the law, that’s fine," his father nodded, still more in favor of it. "I know you don't like me being a gangster. Since you decide to read the law, you must study it and reach the top."
"Well, what's your major in college?"
"Eergh..." Xia Zhi Chen looked at his father doubtfully, and answered awkwardly, "I just said it, I will study the law!"
His dad's eyes widened and he was shocked, "I... I just want to make sure. "
Xia Zhi Chen thought that his father had just forgotten a sentence, but he never thought that his father would not just be forgetful in a while.
Xu Yang's class leader told the Dean about his suffering from bullying on campus, so the Dean called Xu Yang and the boys who bullied him to the office.
Those male students insisted that they only splashed water for fun, and their attitude was not sincere at all when they were saying that.
"What with your attitude?! Believe it or not, I'll ask your parents to come?" The Dean roared, "Each of you remember these two warnings, and then go back and copy the school rules ten times! Go back to class. "
Seeing Xu Yang, who was depressed on one side, the director sighed and whispered, “You too, go back to class."
Xu Yang said, "Director, do you intend to punish them like this? It's too light. "
"Didn't I say they have the two warnings?" The Dean thought that Xu Yang was making a fuss and was sulking.
"But it's not the first time they've been punished. I didn't ask them to be punished badly, but I think there's always another way to stop it."
The school director despised Xu Yang's weak appearance and said: “This is why you are constantly bullied. Boys should be boys! You should also think about yourself. If you have something that people don't like fix it, go back to class first! "
Xu Yang had to leave first, his eyes full of anger.
