Chapter 300: If Winter Comes, Can Spring Be Far Behind?

Li Gang?

Why does that name sound so familiar?

Oh!

Right! It’s the same name as that Li Gang from the infamous “son-screws-over-dad” incident a few years back!

Could this Li Shuang be another one of those types who brings trouble to his father?

The crowd of onlookers watched Li Shuang, who was still sprawled on the ground with a savage look on his face, their gazes turning a little peculiar.

Meanwhile, Gu Yifan was giving Li Shuang a look one might reserve for a complete moron.

Everyone has their limits!

‘This dumbass actually dared to insult my parents. I don’t give a damn who your dad is. Even if the emperor himself showed up, I’d still beat you first and ask questions later!’

“You lot… very good! Real tough! Well done!”

“If you’ve got the guts, don’t you run!”

“You just wait for me!”

Li Shuang snarled at Gu Yifan and his friends, his face contorted with rage.

Then, he struggled to his feet.

Gu Yifan glanced at him, then chose to ignore him.

A pathetic clown, nothing more.

“Sao Man, talk. What happened here?”

Gu Yifan asked calmly, looking at Peng Shaoqiang.

“Brother Fan!”

“Well…”

Peng Shaoqiang stammered.

Gu Yifan’s brow furrowed, and he watched Peng Shaoqiang in silence.

Peng Shaoqiang looked sheepish, unsure how to begin.

“Brother Fan, uh, why don’t I explain,”

Young Master B Wang Shouyi chimed in, saving Peng Shaoqiang.

“Alright, you tell me.”

Gu Yifan said casually, turning to Young Master B Wang Shouyi.

“Brother Fan, it’s like this. You know how I got together with Xiaomeng, right? Well, this guy Sao Man was full of envy, jealousy, and hate, so he went and started hitting on a girl himself.”

Young Master B Wang Shouyi said this, then glanced at Peng Shaoqiang and paused.

Gu Yifan also turned to look at Peng Shaoqiang.

The guy was looking a little shy and awkward.

Gu Yifan never thought this shameless guy could have a shy side.

“These past few days, Sao Man and the girl have been getting really close!”

Young Master B Wang Shouyi paused, muttering to himself.

Gu Yifan glanced at Peng Shaoqiang again and saw that he was now blushing bright red!

A big, burly guy from Lu Province, blushing shyly.

What a sight…

Tsk tsk tsk…

So beautiful it’s painful to watch…

Then, Young Master B Wang Shouyi continued.

“Just now, on our way back from the cafeteria after dinner, Sao Man was non-stop texting that girl, looking completely love-struck the whole time…”

“Completely love-struck…”

Gu Yifan: “…”

Peng Shaoqiang shot Young Master B Wang Shouyi a glare.

Young Master B Wang Shouyi chose to ignore him.

“Maybe Sao Man felt that texting wasn’t enough to express himself, so he decided to call the girl.”

“Then Sao Man stepped away from us and went into the hallway to make the call.”

“To be honest, I’m not clear on what happened after that!”

“Dongdong and I were in the dorm playing games when we suddenly heard arguing outside. I went out and saw Sao Man arguing with someone…”

“I saw it was getting more and more heated and was worried a fight would break out, so I had Dongdong call you…”

After speaking, Young Master B Wang Shouyi spread his hands, indicating that was all he knew.

Gu Yifan turned to Peng Shaoqiang, waiting for his explanation.

Peng Shaoqiang saw Gu Yifan and the others looking at him, waiting for him to speak.

“I was in the hallway on the phone with Qiqi. This bastard walked past, heard me, and called me a fucking sissy!”

“At first, I couldn’t be bothered with him!”

“But then, when the bastard came back, he said it again!”

“And the fucking dickhead even started mimicking me!”

“Goddammit, I was just talking a little quietly, and he calls me a sissy for it?!”

“I was focused on my call at the time, so I let it slide!”

“But then, after I finished my call, that asshole actually came over to mock me again!”

“FUCK!!!”

“How could I possibly tolerate that?!”

Peng Shaoqiang said, his face full of indignation.

After hearing Peng Shaoqiang’s explanation, it finally dawned on Gu Yifan and the others!

Gu Yifan and his friends glanced at Li Shuang, who was a short distance away, and felt a sense of speechlessness.

‘So this asshole just has a foul mouth!’

‘Damn it, no man could put up with that!’

When Li Shuang saw Gu Yifan and the others looking at him, he lifted his head, his face a mask of utter contempt for them!

‘How dare they fucking lay a hand on me!’

‘These turtle-grandsons… just you wait. I won’t be able to rest until I make them get on their knees and call me grandpa!’

Li Shuang thought viciously, clutching his chest, which was still throbbing with pain.

Gu Yifan gave Peng Shaoqiang a complicated look.

‘To think this guy managed to hook up with a girl too!’

‘Then again, it makes sense. Peng Shaoqiang is over 1.8 meters tall. While not classically handsome, he isn’t ugly either. He’s got that tall, sunny, looks-like-he-plays-basketball vibe that should be pretty popular with girls!’

‘Of course, compared to me, Gu Yifan, he doesn’t even come close. There’s no comparison!’

‘But compared to a normal person, he’s not bad at all!’

Gu Yifan shook his head at the thought.

As for Li Shuang, who was over there looking like he wanted to murder them, Gu Yifan paid him no mind whatsoever.

Just another idiot.

‘His mouth is just so damn foul!’

Gu Yifan had never met someone who ran their mouth so much!

‘The guy was just minding his own business on the phone, and he just had to stick his nose in it!’

‘Once wasn’t enough; he had to do it again and again!’

‘Getting beaten up was his own damn fault!’

And since they were in the right, Gu Yifan had nothing more to say about it.

Besides, even if they had been in the wrong!

‘Damn it, just for the fact that he insulted my brother and then me.’

‘The fact that he hadn’t crippled him already spoke to Gu Yifan’s kind-heartedness!’

If it weren’t for the fact that it was the end of the semester, and that he’d already caused that whole incident with the drill instructor at the start of the term, Gu Yifan wouldn’t have been bothered to stir up more trouble. Otherwise, that guy wouldn’t be walking away today without a few broken ribs!

As for the consequences?

Who among Gu Yifan’s roommates came from a family that lacked money?

If they needed money, they had money!

If they needed connections, not to mention Gu Yifan could ask the vice-principal, Sun Lingming, for help.

Besides, wasn’t there also Young Master B Wang Shouyi!

Young Master B Wang Shouyi’s family had connections in the military!

What the hell was there to be afraid of?!

Just do it!

After that, the group ignored Li Shuang’s murderous gaze.

Young Master B Wang Shouyi and the others started teasing Peng Shaoqiang.

“Not bad, Sao Man!”

“Tsk tsk tsk, you hooked up with her so fast? Tell us about Qiqi!”

He Dongdong said to Peng Shaoqiang in his not-so-standard Mandarin.

“Hey, what do you mean, ‘hooked up’?!”

“Qiqi and I fell in love at first sight!”

“Love at first sight, you get me?”

“Hmph, you single dog!”

Peng Shaoqiang rolled his eyes at He Dongdong and said with a smug, triumphant look on his face.

“Er…”

He Dongdong was left speechless by the comeback!

‘Damn it, is it my fault I’m single?!’

Gu Yifan looked at Peng Shaoqiang’s current state, his face brimming with triumph!

To put it in Young Master B Wang Shouyi’s words:

He looked completely love-struck!!!

“Sigh, it’s already winter, and yet spring has arrived for our dear classmate Peng Shaoqiang…”

Young Master B Wang Shouyi said, shaking his head and sighing.

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?”

“What they teach in the textbooks really is true!”

He Dongdong chimed in from the side.

Sao Man Peng Shaoqiang: “…”
