Chapter 162: 162 – Men Who Get Drunk are Not to be Messed With_1
Wenya seemed to see it too and immediately shot back at Jiang Jiaying.
“Back in high school, we were all just youngsters, none of us knew what love was. It was the beginning of puppy love, at most we had some passing affection for one another. It was like children playing house, anyone who took it seriously was a fool.”
Jiang Jiaying, being of a rather rebellious nature, and wanting to show off in front of Ding Yinuo, naturally refused to back down.
“Miss Wen, your words are clearly filled with envy. Can’t blame you though. Back in high school, no boy was willing to pursue you. Although it was just the start of young love, one can’t deny that a first love is the sweetest emotion, making it unforgettable for a lifetime.”
Wenya lost her temper,
“Who said no one chased after me in high school?”
“Oh really? Name them. If you can’t, it proves that you’re just trying to save face.”
Jiang Jiaying’s words really hit a sore point with Wenya.
During high school, Wenya used to sport a pixie-cut and often favored androgynous clothes, never bothering to doll herself up.
Among a group of girls, she was always the tomboy, which is why no boys chased after her. She didn’t even receive any love letters.
I was about to step in when I was surprised to see, Su Peisheng had come to her rescue,
“Who said she had no suitors? I was one.”
Jiang Jiaying didn’t expect Su Peisheng to speak up and immediately retorted,
“I was talking about high school, not now!”
Su Peisheng took a glance at Wenya,
“I was talking about high school too.”
“Were you two classmates in high school?”
“Sort of, we weren’t in the same class!”
“Fine, you win!”
Even though Jiang Jiaying had no comeback, she would not admit defeat and suspected that Su Peisheng was lying and tried to catch him out.
“I’m very curious, you’re not bad looking, why would you like a woman like Wenya?”
Beneath her words, lay a strong undercurrent of disparagement.
Su Peisheng laughed, “Your question is so strange! To me, she is much better than you! If someone can like a person like you, why can’t anyone like her?”
Jiang Jiaying was obviously upset with Su Peisheng’s comment and pointed at him and cursed,
“Can you watch your words? What do you mean by ‘a person like me’? What’s wrong with me?!”
Su Peisheng didn’t intend to offend Jiang Jiaying initially, but when he noticed that Ding Yinuo wasn’t interested in her, he felt no need to hold back.
Perhaps, in his eyes, Wenya had become an important person. Therefore, he was willing to fight with Jiang Jiaying without hesitation.
“From what I know, during our high school times, you were a troublemaker, not good at studies and loved to bully classmates. You were not much different from a gangster. Why would any boy like a girl like you? On the other hand, our Wenya is gentle, kind, beautiful, and academically outstanding. She used to win at reading contests frequently. She’s intelligent, curvaceous, and was considered goddess-like by us boys. Isn’t she a hundred times better than you?”
As soon as Su Peisheng finished his sentence, Jiang Jiaying dropped her chopsticks with a thud and said, “I’m not eating anymore!”
Having said this, she grabbed her bag and stormed out.
After pondering momentarily, Su Peisheng gave Ding Yinuo a nudge,
“Seems like I’ve offended someone. Could you chase after her and make up for me?”
Ding Yinuo brushed him off,
“If you want to chase after her, go. What does your mess have to do with me?”
“But she is your boss! Aren’t you afraid she’ll cause trouble for you afterwards?”
“Forget it, let’s drink!”
Ding Yinuo then lifted his glass and began to drink with the others. I didn’t stop him and continued to sit quietly.
However, it was clear that Su Peisheng’s intervention had salvaged the situation for Wenya, she seemed rather pleased.
Although she didn’t mention it, she picked out a drumstick for Su Peisheng using her chopsticks.
“Su Peisheng, did you really go to the same school as me?”
“I was bluffing, you actually believed me?”
Wenya gritted her teeth, “You mentioned the reading contests, I did participate in them often and even won.”
“That must be a coincidence!”
Su Peisheng winked and did not provide any further explanation.
This seemed to relieve the tense atmosphere between them.
That round of drinks was over.
Su Peisheng voluntarily offered to send Wenya home, which she did not refuse.
When everyone had finished eating and we paid the bill, it was already late into the night.
Ding Yinuo was slightly drunk, swaying as he walked.
“Shall I drive you home?”
“You’re driving me? I drove here myself too.”
Under the streetlights, I could distinctly see the blush on his cheeks and even his eyes seemed red.
There was a strong smell of alcohol on him.
“Did Su Peisheng really like Wenya back then?”
Curious, I asked him. After all, although I barely know Su Peisheng, he and Ding Yinuo have known each other since they were kids.
He would know Su Peisheng better.
“Actually, the past doesn’t matter, what’s important is the present, right?”
His speech was slightly slurred as he spoke.
I helped him walk to his car.
“By the way, Ding Yinuo, why did you dislike me so much back then?”
“When did I ever dislike you?”
Suddenly, he spun around, leaning so close to me that I was forced to lean against the car.
Then he spread out his arms, bent down, and pinned me against the car. We were practically pressed against each other.
“Do you really want to know?”
He tilted his head slightly, almost touching my cheek. I could feel his warm breath.
“Of course, I want to know. Tell me…”
I had been targeted by him for so many years and had never understood why. I was naturally curious.
“Back in the eleventh grade… did you barge into the boys’ shower room?”
Eleventh grade, boys’ shower room?
I racked my brain trying to recall, but I just couldn’t remember such an incident.
“You’re bullshitting, how could I enter the boys’ shower room! Are you sure you didn’t mistake me for someone else?”
He seemed a bit angry, his entire body pressing against mine, he said in a deep voice.
“No mistake, it was you!”
“Huh?”
“That weekend, I played a basketball match for an hour. I was all sweaty and went to take a shower. You intentionally barged in! You saw me in all my glory and even made some derogatory comments. Because of those words, I….. began to loathe you!”
As he kept on repeating this, my memory started to clear up, but it wasn’t quite the story he had told.
“Ding Yinuo, stand steady, open the car door, let’s sit inside and I’ll explain to you slowly. Things are not how you imagine them to be.”
“So, the person who barged in that day, it was you, correct? I didn’t get it wrong did I?”
“Yes, it was me, but I promise you, I didn’t do it on purpose!”
