Reckless Youth of Delinquency - Text Chapter 875, My MP3
Gu Long said it right, where there are people, there are grievances, and where there are grievances, there are rivers and lakes. No matter how outstanding students are, when tens of thousands of students come together, they can still find some fucked-up students. Some of them were doing well in the past and came here hoping to continue to be kings and hegemons; some were unsatisfactory in the past and came here and decided to get involved.
After the morning class, everyone returned to the dormitory after dinner, and unexpectedly met Sun Kai and others on the way. Yu Qiang asked Sun Kai about brother Xiaomi, and Sun Kai said: “Xiaomi is too busy, running for the student union president of his department. I told him to come over tonight to deal with this matter. You will all be waiting then. Ah, I will follow you too.”
Yu Qiang quickly said thank you, and others also followed suit. I stood behind and said nothing. Back in the dormitory, everyone seemed very happy, and Zheng Fei was in a high mood. After all, Brother Xiaomi is just a gangster from the Department of Business and Industry, while Sun Kai is the boss of our entire department! It would definitely be appropriate to suppress him. I thought it was good. Sun Kai took the money to do practical things, which was actually quite good. Everyone was imagining the scene that night. Brother Xiaomi was apologizing and apologizing. It would be better to compensate for medical expenses and the like. No one thought about hitting Brother Xiaomi. After all, he was a sophomore, so it was better to resolve enemies than to end them.
Later, Huang Xin also came back. He was taking a lunch break as usual, but the people in the dormitory deliberately made him angry. Led by Roudan, they sang loudly, chatted, and played cards in the dormitory, leaving Huang Xin helpless. But this time Huang Xin didn’t talk meanly, but lay silently on the bed without saying a word. Because of their trouble, I couldn’t sleep either. I went out, called Brick, and then called Xia Xue and asked her and Tao Zi to come out. After a few people came out, they asked me what I wanted to do, and I said to buy MP3 players. MP3s were still a rarity, and neither Xia Xue nor Tao Zi had them, so they were quite happy, so we left the school together.
Xinda is not in the downtown area. The better the university is, the farther away it is from the downtown area. This allows students to study with more peace of mind. The world-famous White Deer Academy was located on the mountain. Xia Xue and Tao Zi were already familiar with the road, so they immediately took a taxi and headed straight to the nearest digital city. When I came inside, after careful selection, I bought four MP3 players of different styles and colors. At that time, the maximum size of MP3 was 512M, and the price was already nearly 1,000 yuan! The 512M model can store more than 200 songs, but the sound quality is really not good. The boss is responsible for storing songs for us, including all the latest popular songs, which is enough for us to listen to for a long time.
When I got back to school, it was still early for class, so I went back to the dormitory. I took my MP3 player and went to bed to listen to music. Zheng Fei was the first to notice because he and I were head-to-head. Zheng Fei said: “Yeah, you changed to an MP3 player?” At that time when single players and CD players were the dominant player, MP3 players were indeed a rarity. Everyone except Huang Xin gathered around and were envious of my MP3 player. In their eyes, in current terms, I am already equivalent to a wealthy person. From not participating in military training at the beginning, to treating everyone to dinner on the first day, to using the most popular mobile phones and buying the most expensive MP3s, their eyes were indeed full of envy.
During class in the afternoon, I would listen to music with my MP3 player. I don’t like studying if there is no pressure. When I was in junior high school, I wanted to escape from Zou Yang’s clutches; when I was in high school, I wanted to get into the same university as Xia Xue. As for now, I have no pressure at all, so I have no motivation to study. I put the MP3 on the table so that it would be easier to cut songs. The boss put all kinds of songs in it, including “The Sloppy King”. As soon as the MP3 player appeared, it attracted a lot of attention. At that time, one-third of the class had mobile phones. They bought them because their families were worried about it. Generally, people are still accustomed to using IC cards to make phone calls, but only those with MP3 players Four or five, mine is the most beautiful, pure white with an LCD screen.
When get out of class was over, everyone gathered in a group to chat, but I continued to listen to MP3. There are more than two hundred songs, each song lasts four to five minutes, and it will take more than ten hours to listen to them all! While I was listening, I suddenly noticed someone sitting in front of me. I looked up and saw that it was Li Na, with her friends sitting on both sides. Even though we are said to be friends, I feel like I am almost becoming her subordinate. I took off my headphones and looked at Li Na strangely. Li Na said: “The MP3 player is very beautiful. How much did it cost?”
I said honestly: “More than eight hundred.”
Li Na looked very shocked, and then said calmly: “Can you let me listen to it?”
There was no discussion at all, it seemed like an order. It felt like it was my honor to borrow my MP3! I think she has such an attitude because she is used to being praised by others. She thought that if she talked to me, I would be in trouble. Beautiful women generally have this attitude towards diaosi (of course, there was no word diaosi at that time). I really don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Which of my daughters-in-law is not prettier than you, and she pretends to be so cool in front of me?
What’s more, we just had a fight yesterday. Damn it, how shameless is this woman? Do you think she can make all men pamper her just because of her good looks?
So I said calmly: “No.”
Li Na was very shocked, probably because she didn’t expect that I would refuse, and asked, “What did you say?”
“I said no.” I said these four words seriously.
“Stingy.” Li Na snorted, stood up and left. The other two also glared at me.
I really couldn’t laugh or cry. What’s wrong with your mother? No one has dared to talk to me like this for how many years. I shook my head, smiled bitterly, and was about to continue listening to the song. Yu Qiang suddenly sat over and asked me what happened just now. I told him exactly what happened. Yu Qiang said with an embarrassed look on his face: “Mouse, can you lend her the MP3?”
I was stunned for a moment, looking at Yu Qiang’s pleading face, I really couldn’t bear it. Yu Qiang added: “It’s alright, we are going to have a date with her, and we will both find someone by then.”
I smiled and said, “I don’t like any of them sleeping together.”
“Hey, you do have a beautiful friend, but she’s not your partner.” Yu Qiang shook my arm: “Hurry up, lend her the MP3, just think of it as lending it to me, okay? Just think of it as a favor. Can we go away from being single?”
Yu Qiang said so many nice things, I had no choice but to give him the MP3. Yu Qiang took the MP3 and went to give it to Li Na. Looking at Li Na again, she still looked proud and was a little lukewarm towards Yu Qiang. Yu Qiang accompanied him with a smile, looking like a loser, and there was nothing he could do about it. There was no word for diaosi at that time, but now it can only be described with this word.
After borrowing the MP3, I had nothing to listen to and spent the whole afternoon doing nothing. When get out of class was about to end, Brick came to me and said he wanted to have dinner together. I told Yu Qiang and left with Brick. Xia Xue and Tao Zi were waiting under the teaching building, and then the four of us walked towards the cafeteria together. This time we came to the second floor. I planned to eat all the food in the cafeteria these days to see which place is delicious. After eating at South School, I will go to North School. I have already made my own plan.
After eating, the four of us sat together, and we clearly felt that the people around us were always looking at us. There is no way, Xia Xue and Tao Zi are too eye-catching, the flowers we tied are quite powerful. Xia Xue asked me how I felt after spending two days with the people in the dormitory. I told the truth, and we got into two fights before anything happened. The guys in the dormitory were all just talking.
Xia Xue and Taozi are not afraid that Brick and I will be bullied. They are only afraid that Brick and I will bully others. Xia Xue said: “If you can, just leave it alone. Don’t break it. Xinda is very strict about this.”
I said, “Is this still strict? You haven’t seen how arrogant that Xiaomi brother is.”
Xia Xue said: “Oh, what’s the difference? When you have power, you can cover the sky with one hand. Xiaomi has many friends and has a good relationship with the school teachers, so the higher-ups just turn a blind eye. “Xia Xue is still the same as before, knowing everything about the school. She has a bad heart, but she doesn’t have the skills or courage. Zhou Mo and Bai Qing have them, and they are very vicious when they fight.
During the meal, I asked Xia Xue and Tao Zi when they were going to Arabia with me. Xia Xue smiled and said, “If you can figure out my mother, then let me go to Arabia with you.”
I said bravely: “Isn’t that just a matter of minutes?”
Taozi said: “Be serious. I still want to finish college. It won’t be easy to get into SNU, right?”
Xia Xue said: “Me too.”
Seeing how insistent they were, I didn’t say anything. It takes four years to finish college! Alas, my Arabian dream.
Next, we talked about MP3 for a while. Everyone generally said that the sound quality of MP3 is not very good. In the final analysis, it is not as good as the genuine CD. But it’s also quite cool. It’s even cooler when you take it out to kill everyone instantly during class than taking out a mobile phone. After all, the mobile phones at that time were very crude, with either a black screen or a blue screen, and there was no sense of beauty at all. They asked me where my MP3 was. I said I lent it to my roommate and didn’t mention anything about Li Na.
Just as I was talking, my cell phone rang. Yu Qiang called me. He said, “Mouse, come back quickly. Brother Xiaomi will be here soon.”
I just remembered what Sun Kai said at noon that Brother Xiaomi would come to our dormitory in the evening. Such a big event naturally requires everyone to be present. I said yes, then hurriedly finished my meal and hurried back to the dormitory alone. There are no classes in the evenings at SMU, so you can take self-study classes if you want to. Of course, most people still take them. But there was something going on in our dormitory at night, so everyone came back, including Huang Xin, although we felt that he was just watching the fun.
Before Brother Xiaomi came, Yu Qiang held a meeting for us and said that he should try not to talk for a while and let Sun Kai do the talking. I am used to being the boss in the dormitory, but now the boss is suddenly replaced by someone else, and I am just a soldier who obeys orders. This feeling is quite strange.
