Chapter 33 Roll on
Ge Dongxu watched the internal struggle of the two, nodding to himself. He had just heard them speak of turning over a new leaf, so he watched their expressions closely and realized that though their actions were arrogant, their true nature didn't seem inherently bad. Now, seeing them wrestling with their inner conflicts further proved that their innate goodness had not been extinguished.
"Since you haven't rotten to the core," Ge Dongxu said, "today I will persuade you to be virtuous, as an act of kindness and a benefit to society."
Ge Dongxu thought to himself and spoke again, "The path of life is one's own choice, and what path you choose determines what kind of life you will lead. I can tell you now that if you continue on this path, the only future awaiting you will definitely be imprisonment!"
For youth like Lin Kun and Yue Ting, who were of a certain age and born with a silver spoon, spoiled and indulged, it was almost impossible for them to listen to others, not even their own parents. However, the words of this young man from the mountains, Ge Dongxu, struck them like the sound of the morning bell and the evening drum, suddenly awakening the kindness ingrained in their bones.
"Thank you, Brother Dongxu, for your guidance. We are willing to swear," they said to each other with serious faces after exchanging glances.
"Swear then," said Ge Dongxu with a nod, a flicker of relief in his eyes.
Upon seeing Ge Dongxu's nod, the two seriously took an oath never to do evil again.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Seeing them take the oath, Ge Dongxu's gaze softened considerably when he looked at them. But when his gaze shifted to Chen Zihao, it was laced with undisguised disgust.
Last time, Lin Kun and Yue Ting caused trouble at Ge Dongxu's family's farm because Yue Ting's Chanel clothes got splashed with vegetable juice. Without that incident, they would not have caused a scene. Essentially, they behaved like spoiled children because of the power and money of their families, arrogantly unreasonable.
Chen Zihao was completely different from Lin Kun and Yue Ting. At only nineteen, he dared to "abduct a civilian girl" in broad daylight, which showed an extremely vile nature. Plainly speaking, he had bad roots! Furthermore, because Ge Dongxu truly detested Chen Zihao, he had no intention of persuading him to be good.
"Brother Dongxu, please have mercy. I won't dare to do it again, I really won't!" Chen Zihao was startled when he saw Ge Dongxu looking at him and quickly crawled to the front of the table, his face pale as he begged for mercy.
"Next time, will there even be a next time?" questioned Lin Kun as he slapped Chen Zihao on the head upon hearing this. Their previous oath was about not doing the kind of evil that took advantage of their position to bully good people, but it didn't mean they couldn't hit a scumbag like Chen Zihao.
"No more, no more, Brother Kun!" Chen Zihao quickly responded with a face full of dismay.
"What's the use of telling me there's no more? You should be telling this to Brother Dongxu!" Lin Kun said, slapping Chen Zihao on the head again. He could tell that Ge Dongxu was very disgusted by Chen Zihao, so naturally, he would not be polite to him. What's more, because of Chen Zihao, he almost got struck by five thunderbolts from heaven!
"Yes, yes, Brother Dongxu, it's all my fault, I was blind and didn't see Mount Tai, I was ignorant. Please have great mercy and spare me!" Chen Zihao said, continuously slapping his already bruised and swollen face.
"You're a smart man, so I think you should know how to get along with Dong Yuxin from now on, and how to ensure she is completely assured that you will no longer bother her, right?" Ge Dongxu wasn't someone with a heart of stone or ruthlessness, and seeing Chen Zihao's face swollen like a pig's head, his heart softened in the end, and he waved his hand, speaking indifferently.
"Thank you, Brother Dongxu, I understand, I really do. Rest assured, from now on, whenever I see Dong Yuxin, I will definitely stay far away and never tell her about what happened today," Chen Zihao, seeing Ge Dongxu relent, was overcome with joy, hastily bowing profusely.
He was truly scared by the beating today!
"Get lost!" Ge Dongxu didn't want to see Chen Zihao anymore, and seeing that he understood, he waved his hand dismissively, speaking as if he were shooing away a dog.
"Yes, yes." Chen Zihao felt as if he had been granted amnesty, bowing repeatedly, then turned toward Lin Kun and Yue Ting, tentatively saying, "Brother Kun, Sister Ting..."
"Why are you looking at us? Didn't you hear Dongxu telling you to scram? Remember, from now on you have nothing to do with me, don't come looking for me if there's an issue!" Lin Kun glared and said.
"The same goes for me!" said Yue Ting.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zihao's heart ached, knowing that today he had been officially kicked out of this circle!
But Chen Zihao didn't dare say anything, nodded his head, and then limped out of the private room, not daring to look back.
After Chen Zihao left, Lin Kun played the role of host, walking over to Ge Dongxu with a flattering smile on his face, and cautiously asked, "Brother Dongxu, would you like me to call over some girls to chat with you, have a drink, and sing some songs?"
Lin Kun's suggestion made Ge Dongxu involuntarily recall the two scantily clad women he had seen at the elevator entrance, which startled him, and he quickly glared at Lin Kun, saying, "Are you sick in the head? I'm still a student!"
When Ge Dongxu scolded him, Lin Kun suddenly remembered that Dongxu was still just a high school student, realizing that his flattery had missed the mark, he began to stutter, not knowing what to do.
Indeed, in this sort of place, if you don't call for girls to accompany you for drinks and singing, what else could you possibly do? Lin Kun really couldn't come up with anything.
"Yeah, you really are dumb, Brother Dongxu. What kind of person do you take him for? Can he mingle with those girls here? Dongxu, I'll drink and sing with you! What would you like to drink? Liquor or beer?" Seeing Lin Kun at a loss, Yue Ting rolled her eyes at him and then turned to Ge Dongxu with a seductive smile, saying.
However, Yue Ting's appearance today, from her clothing to her makeup, was hardly different from that of a rough girl—not only were her clothes tattered, adorned with shiny metal ornaments and printed with many crude English slogans, but her face was also thickly made up with smoky eyes that normally looked nice. She had sweated a bit during the fight with Chen Zihao, and later, Dongxu's fright had brought her to tears, making her face now look like a "Ghost Drawing Talisman," with her crimson lips, it was more of a ghoulish grin than a seductive smile, which gave Ge Dongxu quite a start.
"I've already said I'm a student. Why would I drink?" Ge Dongxu glared at Yue Ting, annoyed. Although he could hold his liquor well, he only drank with his master and never in front of others, and today was no exception.
"Yes, yes, look at me getting all muddled too. Then I'll sing with Dongxu. Do you sing any songs? How about Zhang Xinzhe's 'Love is like a tide'? It's quite popular lately." Seeing Ge Dongxu glare at her, Yue Ting wasn't angry, but continued with a face full of "seductive smiles," trying to please him.
