Chapter 37, Rupture

A few more days passed, and time flew by until it was the fifth day of December. Zhuang Jin and the other eight people gradually adapted to the new month of cultivation life.

In fact, compared with the non-closed management of martial artists, formal martial artists have much more freedom. Even Tang Wentao only comes for a stick of incense every morning and afternoon, answers some questions and then leaves. He does not take care of any unnecessary matters. It all depends on personal awareness, and there is no restriction on coming in and out.

If the training as a martial artist in the past was more like a closed-door high school, then the training for formal martial artists this month is probably equivalent to college.

Because he was not strictly managed, Jiao Kun had money again. In addition, he had not relaxed for many days, so this afternoon, he finally couldn't hold back and prepared to go out.

This time, he was not alone, Qian Wende was with him - originally, the two of them were a little estranged because of the money borrowing issue, but recently they didn't know how they got together again.

In the evening, Zhuang Jin and others came back from extra training in the martial arts field. At the dormitory door, they saw Jiao Kun and Qian Wende, who had also just returned, arm in arm, with satisfied looks on their faces.

Xiong Lei asked, "Kunzi, Dezi, what did you do today? We have an evaluation at the end of the month, so pay attention!"

"What?" Jiao Kun ignored the second half of the sentence and opened his mouth, but was a little embarrassed to speak.

Qian Wende winked and said, "Hey, today Brother Jiao and I went to eat meat."

Seeing Qian Wende's wretched appearance, Lin Hong immediately understood and said jokingly, "Dezi, please don't lead Brother Jiao astray."

"I led Jiao Kun astray, so why does he need me to guide him?"

Qian Wende was disdainful in his heart, but he would not say it out loud. After all, Jiao Kun was treating him today. He just said, "That can't be right! I did a good thing. I went out with Jiao Kun today and let Brother Jiao eat some good meat at a reasonable price. It's not like he got ripped off like last time..."

Xiong Lei only realized at this point that this "eating meat" was not the same as that "eating meat" and immediately cursed: "Fuck, aren't you afraid of getting sick?"

"Don't worry, it's safe. Even if we take a step back, we warriors are strong and healthy, so we are not afraid of this."

Qian Wende said, his eyes rolled, and he invited Xiong Lei: "Brother Xiong, you haven't had sex yet, right? Otherwise, next time Brother Jiao and I go out, will you come too?"

It is obvious that he is targeting Xiong Lei and wants him to treat him next time.

Xiong Lei didn't think about the treat, but was only focused on the idea of ​​'eating meat' itself. To be honest, for a moment he was really tempted, but he was a bit honest and soft-hearted, or to put it bluntly, indecisive. After hesitating for a while, he finally shook his head and said, "Forget it!"

"Boss, let's go together next time. I'll treat you." Jiao Kun said to Xiang Qichen here, probably because Xiang Qichen had lent him money and he wanted to repay the favor.

"I won't go." Xiang Qichen waved his hand. Although he was a little arrogant, he was a very upright person.

Jiao Kun looked at Lin Hong again and patted his shoulder: "What about Hongzi?"

He and Lin Hong came in on the same day, and they have a pretty good relationship.

A hint of disgust flashed across Lin Hong's face, and he calmly dodged the hand that was patting his shoulder. He obviously felt that Jiao Kun had touched something dirty, and he didn't say anything, just shook his head.

Zhuang Jin and Bi Kai watched this scene and also said nothing.

Although they lived in the same dormitory, there were differences in closeness and distance between them. For example, their small group had an average relationship with Jiao Kun... Well, the same was true for Wu Hao. The three of them avoided each other's invitations and also avoided refusing, and turned around to wash up.

……

After this day, a few days passed and it was the tenth day of December. Jiao Kun felt itchy again and decided to go out, but he didn't want to go alone, so he called Qian Wende. Qian Wende said in a flattering tone, "I want to go, but I have no money in my pocket." After Jiao Kun said he would treat him, Qian Wende happily agreed, and the two of them went out arm in arm.

In the evening, Zhuang Jin and others came back from extra practice and saw that Jiao Kun and Qian Wende had already returned. Qian Wende was still holding the set of teacups that Lin Hong had won by lottery and was drinking water.

Zhuang Jin glanced at the person beside him, and Lin Hong's expression changed immediately.

Living in the same dormitory, everyone knows that Lin Hong is a clean person, even a little bit of a mysophobia. They also know that Lin Hong likes this set of tea cups very much.

After all, it was a lucky draw. In Lin Hong's mind, this set of teacups was slightly different. Qian Wende, with his back to Lin Hong, didn't see his expression and smiled, "Brother Lin, I'll drink your water first and fill it up for you later."

Not only Zhuang Jin, but Xiang Qichen also noticed Lin Hong's expression. As the head of the dormitory, he naturally wouldn't let the situation escalate. He was still trying to calm it down: "Dezi, you know Hongzi likes cleanliness, and you drank other people's water without saying hello? Wait a minute, you have to wash the teacup a few more times..."

"no need."

Lin Hong stepped forward, picked up the teacup, and threw it to the ground with a snap. Tea splashed everywhere with the crisp sound of breaking.

The entire dormitory suddenly became extremely quiet.

At this time, Lin Hong's cold voice sounded again: "Who knows what his mouth has touched? This thing is dirty, and it will still be dirty even if you wash it!"

Qian Wende was stunned for a moment before he realized what had happened. Even though he was thick-skinned, his face turned purple and blue at this moment, looking very ugly: "What do you mean by this?"

How can it be so insulting?

He didn’t… well, maybe he did, but you can’t tell!

Jiao Kun also felt that he was being scolded, and his face was equally unhappy: "Hongzi, even if Dezi was wrong, I will compensate you with a new set of teacups. There is no need to say such harsh words, right?"

——Originally, Jiao Kun and Lin Hong came in on the same day, and their relationship was slightly closer than that with Xiong Lei. Lin Hong had repeatedly advised Jiao Kun in a tactful way, but at this moment, with Jiao Kun's words, it was obvious that he stood on Qian Wende's side, and the relationship between the two had obviously broken down!
"Yeah, we're all brothers. It's no big deal. Just buy another one." Xiong Lei also tried to smooth things over.

"Brother Xiong, please lend me some money and I will pay him back for the teacup!" Qian Wende said with a cold face.

Obviously, with his thick skin, he also felt insulted by Lin Hong and wanted to settle the matter with the other party and win back his face.

"Fuck!" Xiong Lei cursed with a laugh, but still took out a penny of silver, as if he wanted to use this joke to get away with it.

Seeing the situation gradually calm down, Xiang Qichen spoke again, subconsciously saying, "Is that right? So, Dezi, take the money and compensate Hongzi with a new set of teacups tomorrow. Hongzi, you apologize for those harsh words just now. We're still brothers, then!"

"What level are you? You want to imitate the yamen master and give each of us fifty lashes?" Lin Hong sneered when he heard this.

"you……"

"Do you think my words were harsh? How about we apologize to each other?"

Lore!

Xiang Qichen choked after being hit by his own boomerang, his face embarrassed. Finally, he said, "Okay, I'm just busy with my business because I'm full, okay? You took his kindness for granted. I don't care. Do whatever you want!"

The dormitory became quiet again.

Zhuang Jin stood at the door, watching everything coldly without saying a word.

He could see clearly that everyone in the dormitory had different personalities. If they were not destined to live in the same dormitory, they would never have gathered together. The meal at the end of last month barely brought everyone together, but it was extremely fragile. Now this conflict broke the fragile balance, highlighted the contradictions, and divided them.

Bi Kai lagged behind Zhuang Jin by half a step, also watching silently, without getting involved and saying a word.

Wu Hao wanted to say something, but because he was not good at speaking, he really didn't know how to say it. While he was still thinking, the matter ended.

After that, there was no conversation in the dormitory all night.
