Chapter 154 The Dean's mouth is still as sharp as ever.
"Hey, Little White..."
Zhang Wei was shocked to hear this, after all, this behavior could be considered as deceiving the dean.
If the dean gets angry, they might not even have the courage to go home and visit their families. They'd be embarrassed just thinking about what they'd done!
However, Chen Xiaobai simply raised his hand to stop Zhang Wei from speaking, and continued on his own:
"Dean, actually, the purpose of these charity galas wasn't entirely pure; we had our own agenda too!"
"you......"
The dean's expression suddenly changed. He gave the two of them a complicated look, then sighed, "Alas, it seems you have also been corrupted by wealth and stained by the filth of society. But it's not your fault; it's all my fault for not teaching you well!"
"Children, go turn yourselves in. This old man can only try to persuade you..."
Chen Xiaobai and Zhang Wei exchanged a glance, suddenly feeling an urge to cry, then burst into silent laughter.
"Hahaha, Dean, what are you thinking? What I mean is, we have a friend who has suffered setbacks in her relationship. We've organized so many charity galas in the hope that she can find redemption and get out of her predicament!"
"Oh? What setback did she encounter?"
"Um...her boyfriend of many years suddenly broke up with her!"
"Oh, I've been abandoned!"
"Not entirely. I suddenly discovered a few days ago that her boyfriend has been married for a long time!"
"Oh, so she's a mistress, and a woman who got dumped!"
Two people: "......"
Zhang Wei chuckled awkwardly, "Years have passed, and the Dean's mouth is still as sharp as ever~ Haha~~~"
"So, this building really can't be donated, even though the celebrities at this party are all just extras!"
Chen Xiaobai revealed everything directly, and later added, "However, the test papers and exercises I donated before were all for the children. It was something I had planned for a long time. Including the donations these past few days, I have also taken on all the costs myself. I still have this little bit of money!"
Some people might ask, didn't Chen Xiaobai say before that he would split the cost equally? Why is he now saying he will take full responsibility?
That's because in the original drama, they actually made Zhang Wei pay for all of these expenses as a matter of course, including during the last Lei Feng Day.
Chen Xiaobai was angry just thinking about it, but then he thought about it again and realized that the money was just a small amount to him, and there was no need to bother everyone anymore.
They've realized in the last few days how much of a burden this money could place on them. Hopefully, they'll learn their lesson and stop trying to squeeze every last penny out of them!
Although they are all friends and don't care about these things, it depends on the person. People like Yu Mo and Chen Xiaobai definitely don't care about these things, but people like Hu Yifei, Guangu, and Zeng Xiaoxian would still feel a pang of pain if they had to spend this money.
As for the rest, needless to say, even if you sold him, you couldn't afford all that money.
Perhaps it's because Chen Xiaobai was also an orphan that he felt a strong connection with Zhang Wei.
He knew how difficult it was for an orphan to work hard in a big city and save up some money.
When Zhang Wei went to them because he was completely broke from hosting a banquet, he was simply pushed away...
......
The dean smiled, about to say something, when he suddenly looked up at the person behind Chen Xiaobai and asked, "The friend you mentioned, is it this lady?"
"What woman... Yu Mo?! When did you arrive?"
Chen Xiaobai was puzzled when he turned around and saw Yu Mo. He asked her awkwardly.
Yu Mo stared at Chen Xiaobai, her eyes filled with a myriad of emotions.
After a while, Yu Mo left without saying a word.
"this......"
Zhang Wei tried to stop her, but Chen Xiaobai quickly stopped him, saying, "Let her calm down. She won't listen to anything right now!"
Chen Xiaobai doesn't understand women, but he understands Lin Qingqing!
They also understood the compatriots of later generations who had been persecuted for so long.
When a woman gets angry, everything you do is wrong!
No matter who or what the reason is, the more you explain and reason with them, the less they will listen. In fact, if you talk too much, it will make them feel embarrassed and even angrier.
Even if you manage to appease them in the end, a thorn will remain in their heart. The next time you argue, they'll say, "And what about last time when you... you insisted on arguing with me? I don't even want to talk about it!"
So, don't go near them when they're very emotional; you'll just get yourself yelled at!
But we can't be too far apart, otherwise it'll just be the same old story: "And last time... you just ran away, leaving me all alone, I don't even want to talk about it..."
Of course, Yu Mo is not his girlfriend, just a friend, so there is no problem with doing this.
......
And then, the story begins to unfold, with the girl and boy putting on a heartfelt performance.
Chen Xiaobai had already prepared tissues and handed them to Lin Qingqing.
He ran away early, not wanting to be struck by lightning again!
This plot is so melodramatic!
I grabbed a bottle of wine, asked the bartender for a blanket, and slowly strolled to the small fountain outside the bar. I sat on a deck chair, poured myself a drink, took a sip, and casually called out to the empty surroundings, "Come out, I see you!"
After a long while, Yu Mo slowly emerged from the corner, hugging her chest and trembling, choking back tears as she said, "I hid very well, how did you see me?"
"Put your heart into it!"
Chen Xiaobai made up a story, secretly marveling at how resistant women were to the cold, considering that in the original story, it took much longer than when he found them!
He casually tossed the blanket over, jokingly saying, "I can't lend you my coat, or Qingqing will bite me to death when we get back. This blanket will have to do!"
"By the way, would you like a drink?"
"Puch~"
Yu Mo had initially intended to refuse, but Chen Xiaobai's humor ruined her composure! She burst out laughing, quickly stifled it, grabbed a blanket, draped it over herself, and sat down, saying softly, "Thank you, Xiaobai!"
"You're welcome!"
"I meant the charity gala!"
"Then you'll have many people to thank. Everyone in the apartment needs to be thanked. Go and thank them one by one later!"
"I don't......"
Just as Yu Mo was about to refuse, Chen Xiaobai interrupted her, "Are you trying to say that you don't want to go back to the apartment, that you want me to leave and not care about you, and that you don't deserve everyone doing this?!"
"How did you know?" Yu Mo asked in surprise as she picked up the wine that Chen Xiaobai had poured for her.
"That's how it's portrayed in TV dramas. You should really watch the play that Youyou rehearsed for you; it's even more convoluted than what I'm describing!"
Chen Xiaobai swirled his wine glass and casually said, "How about we skip all this? It's pretty cheesy, after all!"
"Puch~"
Yu Mo couldn't help but chuckle, then turned her head away so Chen Xiaobai wouldn't see, her eyes brimming with tears, "You've been holding so many bizarre charity galas all for me?"
"If you don't come back, this charity gala will continue indefinitely!"
"I... I'm not worth you doing this for!" Yu Mo sobbed uncontrollably.
"Is it worth it for you to become so depressed because of Richard?"
Instead of answering her question, Chen Xiaobai asked her in return, "You know, people often choose one mistake to avoid another. But since mistakes can't be avoided, why not face them? Why let one mistake ruin your life?"
"I...don't know what to do!" Yu Mo said hesitantly, her eyes filled with confusion.
