As the patrol car drove off, Xiao Shen sighed and walked back to the dorms. As it was getting late, there were many people who were either playing around on their phones, studying for a rest or doing an assignment. Some rooms had loud cheers coming out of them as the roommates within were competing on some online game.
Xiao Shen walked through the corridors and greeted the people around with a nod. After all, they stayed in the same dormitory and could be considered acquaintances.
Upon getting to his own room, he opened the door and crashed on his bed. "Aaah."
It felt soooo nice to lie on his bed again!
"Ew, gay! Quit moaning like a girl, Xiao Shen!" A lean fellow who had an athletic build frowned upon seeing him.
This fellow was called Kevin.
Kevin was called Kevin, but was, infact, not named Kevin. This name came about when he applied for the American Olympics team.
His original name was Xue Waoming, but, due to the interviewer being unable to pronounced it, he was nicknamed Kevin.
He may have spectacularly lost the spot, but the name had stuck. Thus, Kevin.
"Ah, you wouldn't believe the day I've had!" Xiao Shen sighed comfortably and rolled over. "It's feels so good to lie on a bed once again! The police station's chairs are too hard..."
"Police station... Ah, you're Gas guy!" Kevin smiled and clicked his fingers.
"Gas guy?" Xiao Shen raised a brow and tilted his head slightly in confusion.
"Haven't you gone on Weibo today? It's one of the top trending hashtags!" Kevin said with a chuckle. Then he frowned. "Wait... F*ck! You're Gas Guy! Hey don't kill me, man!"
"....." Xiao Shen was speechless.
He quietly reached into his pocket for his phone...
F*ck! His phone was gone alongside his original clothes!
Xiao Shen had the corners of his lips twitch as he stood up and walked over to his computer. These small actions made Kevin flinch. He looked nervous and seemed ready to flee the room at any moment.
Xiao Shen ignored him and typed up the words 'Gas-guy' on Baidu.
In a millisecond, several results were brought up.
# Shocking! Several students confirmed unconscious after terrorist attack!
# Gas Guy 2026! What pushes youth to attack fellow students with poison gas?
Xiao Shen had the corners of his lips twitch once more.
"Xiao Shen, you're not thinking of gassing me too, right?" Kevin said nervously. He was a young fellow gifted with a godly sculpted body that was naturally good for sports, but, unfortunately, it seemed like the cells needed to make such a body had been substituted from his brain...
"What do you think?..." Xiao Shen replied with a sinister smile.
"Ah!" The dumb fellow seemed ready to flee once again.
Xiao Shen could not help but facepalm. "Fool, would I be here if I really was a terrorist gasser?!"
"... Really?" Kevin pursed his lips and thought things through.
Indeed, Xiao Shen had been arrested for gassing several students earlier today. That was a serious offence and could even get the president or other big shots involved.
Why, then, was Xiao Shen leisurely sitting opposite him?
"There was never even any gas in the first place!" Xiao Shen said with a sigh.
This was a stain on his reputation that would be difficult to remove!
Kevin seemed at ease now and had the chance to properly look Xiao Shen up and down. Earlier, he had been so busy with his computer that he had not noticed until Xiao Shen came in.
"Whoa, bro. Are you coming from an interview or something? What's the deal with the fancy western suit?"
"Hmm. Yes, I am coming from an interview." Xiao Shen nodded his head.
"Wow. How did you get the money to afford such a costly suit?" Kevin had lived with his older sister abroad for several years before coming back home and entering the university. Thus, he knew a lot about western clothing.
"Eh? It is?" Xiao Shen looked down at his suit. It really was something else as, despite running at high speeds, it did not tear!
"Um, yeah. My sister gifted it to me." Xiao Shen lied through his teeth like it was nothing. He was not a chronic liar, but simply lived in a world where people preferred delusions more than the truth.
After all, an average looking sister would often be told she was pretty, while a skinny bro who just went to the gym for the first time would be told that he would be as buff as the gym instructor after a single month.
Those were lies, yes.
But were they not useful and convenient?
Xiao Shen was a convenient liar!
He pinched the material slightly and raised a brow at it's toughness. "How much would it cost?"
"Ah, at least $500. That's quite a bit if you ask me." Kevin replied with a slight frown while nodding his head.
"Five hundred? That's about...." Xiao Shen frowned and mumbled in calculation.
One dollar was about seven or so yen.
Thus, five hundred dollars was equal to some three thousand, five hundred plus yen!
The thought of selling the off the suit briefly flashed through his mind, but he quickly drowned the thought.
It was a gift from one of the existences 'viewing' him, and he had no idea whether or not they'd be okay with it.
Besides, he still owed them some five or six requests that he had yet to complete!
"Dong Wang hasn't returned from the hospital?" Xiao Shen sighed and shook his head.
"Nah, he called and said that he had bruises and concussions from falling. He's going to sleep over there." Kevin said with a shrug.
"Hmm. I'll go pay him a visit, then." Xiao Shen nodded his head. He stood up and walked out of the room, only to come back in a second.
"Hey, Waoming. Bro, lend me some forty yen so I can buy fruits..."
All his money had been given to the Taxi Driver uncle!
"No problem. But you'll definitely allow this brother to borrow your suit and impress girls!"
Xue Waoming could be considered slightly above average in looks, but was unable to get a girlfriend because he was just too f*cking dumb in many aspects!
