271: Chapter 271 The Most Vulnerable Moment

In the restroom, the sound of the three men's farts was like a string of firecrackers, earth-shattering.

Mixed within it was an indescribable, foul stench.

In just two short minutes, everyone else in the other restroom stalls had been fumigated away.

Fortunately, the stalls had doors, so no one knew who was who.

But soon, they discovered an even more serious matter!

There was no paper in the restroom!

"Brother Lin, what do we do! I'm a grown man, I don't have the habit of carrying paper when I go out!" Zhang Xiaofu was practically on the verge of tears.

"I don't have any paper either. My girlfriend usually carries it when we go out, so I never worry about these trivial things." Yang Yong, on the other side, was no better off, but amidst his complaints, he didn't forget to show off a bit.

Zhang Xiaofu got angry upon hearing this. "What do you mean by trivial? Do you still think it's a trivial matter now?"

Yang Yong fell silent. Indeed, looking at it now, it didn't seem like a trivial matter at all.

Just at this moment, they suddenly heard the sound of plastic rubbing together from the stall next to them.

"Brother Lin! Do you have paper?" Zhang Xiaofu's tone was full of hope.

Lin Xiao looked at the pack of tissues in his hand, completely unfazed.

However, he just slowly pulled out one sheet and said with difficulty, "I do have some, but there's only one sheet left. What should we do?"

"Split it with me! Brother Lin, I'll take you out for a big meal when we get out!" Zhang Xiaofu said urgently.

"Split, split some with me, I beg you!" Yang Yong had no choice but to compromise at a time like this.

Lin Xiao sighed softly and feigned generosity. "Sigh, seeing as the three of us are going through this together, I'll give you each half of this sheet."

"Huh? Then what about you?" Zhang Xiaofu was still quite loyal.

"It's fine, I'll take the loss and just use my socks to wipe."

As Lin Xiao spoke, he tore the tissue in half. He handed one piece each to Zhang Xiaofu and Yang Yong.

Seeing this, the two were so moved they were about to cry. What kind of bond could be heavier than this?

Zhang Xiaofu was very happy looking at the paper. Because the restroom smelled too strong, he rolled up the tissue and stuffed it into his nose.

Ten minutes later, the three of them had finally finished their business.

Suddenly, Yang Yong let out an exclamation: "Oh no! I sweated too much earlier, the tissue is soaked and can't be used!"

"Hahahaha!" Zhang Xiaofu couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Look at you, what a loser. Then just keep squatting there, hahaha..."

However, his laughter came to an abrupt halt. Because he had sneezed the tissue out of his nose, and it fell directly into the toilet bowl, completely ruined.

"My paper! Yang Yong, it's all your fault!" Zhang Xiaofu was furious.

Although Yang Yong didn't know what happened on Zhang Xiaofu's side, he could tell that Zhang Xiaofu was also out of paper, so he started laughing too. "That's what you get for laughing at me! Serves you right!"

"Yang Yong, you bastard!" "..."

Listening to the two of them arguing, Lin Xiao glanced at the remaining tissues in his hand. His heart wavered for a fleeting moment.

He still couldn't bear to part with them. His stomach was hurting so much; he definitely wouldn't have enough paper with just this little bit.

After thinking for a moment, he suggested, "You two, why don't you use your socks?"

Zhang Xiaofu was practically crying. "No way! I have athlete's foot. If I wipe with my socks, I'm afraid I'll get an infection!"

"What about you?" Lin Xiao tapped on the partition to Yang Yong's side.

"I... I'm not wearing socks." Yang Yong whispered.

Fine. Since that was the case, he couldn't blame anyone else. The tiny bit of guilt in Lin Xiao's heart vanished instantly.

Zhang Xiaofu gritted his teeth. "How about we use our jackets! Anyway, the one I'm wearing today isn't expensive! I'll just throw it away after using it!"

For the first time, Yang Yong agreed with Zhang Xiaofu's point of view. "Good idea. I'm wearing a club uniform, and there's a whole pile of them in the club room."

Zhang Xiaofu quickly took off his jacket, but then there was no movement for a long time.

"No, it's too disgusting. How about we trade?" "Okay!"

Yang Yong also felt that using his own jacket to wipe feces was truly unbearable. After agreeing, the two tossed their jackets over the partition to each other.

Lin Xiao watched all this from the middle, looking as if he wanted to say something but held back.

Soon, he heard two screams. "Chrysanthemum withered, injuries all over the ground..."

"Why is it so spicy!" "Damn it! Why is there chili oil on your jacket?"

"There's some on your jacket too!" "You did this on purpose to harm me!" "It was clearly you who harmed me!" "..."

The two started cursing at each other again. Lin Xiao was trembling in the middle. Naturally, he was laughing.

He thought he was holding it in well, but unexpectedly, his inner voice leaked out.

[Brothers, don't blame me, I didn't do it on purpose.] [Who knew we'd get diarrhea?] [Heh, anyway, it's not my fault!] [And I didn't intentionally refuse to share my tissues with you; I only have one pack, and I really don't have enough myself!] ...

Upon hearing this voice, Zhang Xiaofu was stunned for a moment.

Immediately after, he stood up abruptly and climbed up along the partition. He struggled to poke his head over to Lin Xiao's side and clearly saw the pack of tissues clutched in Lin Xiao's hand!

"Lin Xiao!" This was probably the first time Zhang Xiaofu had called him by his full name. "I treated you as a brother, and you treated me like an idiot! You have a whole pack of paper in your hand, and you weren't even willing to share one sheet with me!"

"What?" On the other side, Yang Yong also forced himself to stand up, despite his legs being numb from squatting. He climbed up to the top of the stall and also saw the tissues in Lin Xiao's hand.

"Lin Xiao, you—you're actually this kind of person!" Yang Yong said, trembling while feeling the stinging pain in his chrysanthemum.

Lin Xiao looked up and was met with those two faces stuck above the partition. He awkwardly rubbed the tissues in his hand and said sheepishly, "It's just... I didn't have much stock left..."

"Brother Lin! If you don't share the tissues with us, we're going to rush over and grab them!" Zhang Xiaofu's eyes were red from the spice.

Yang Yong didn't speak, clearly tacitly agreeing. Lin Xiao panicked. He couldn't even imagine what kind of scene it would be for three grown men to be fighting over tissues in the same stall with their bare bottoms exposed!
