190: You deserve to die!
After exchanging the tea set and the Qing Dynasty banknote for 168,000 at Bowen Antique Shop, Ye Su chatted with Wan Yuanliang for a few more minutes and took advantage of the opportunity to mooch a few cups of tea before leaving Bowen Antique Shop.
"It's eleven o'clock. Time to head back to school for lunch."
After getting into the car, Ye Su thought for a moment, picked up his phone, and sent a message in the [305 Are All Handsome Guys] group chat.
[Guys, wait for your dude to get back so we can eat lunch together.]
[Second Handsome Guy: Yo, 5/20 just passed, and now you remember your bros?]
[Fourth Handsome Guy: Someone who abandoned his bros on 5/20 to spend the night out alone doesn't deserve to show up in our Dorm 305!]
[Third handsomest guy: Fourth is right!]
Handling these three adopted sons was absolute child's play for Ye Su.
Seeing the sky-high resentment in the group chat, as if it were about to crack the screen, Ye Su's fingers flew as he sent a message.
[I'll pick up some KFC on the way back, we'll all eat together at noon.]
[Fourth Handsome Guy retracted a message]
[Second Handsome Guy retracted a message]
[Third handsomest guy retracted a message]
[Fourth Handsome Guy: I was just saying, no matter what, the most handsome guy in Dorm 305 has to be our Boss Ye!]
[Second Handsome Guy: Only a beautiful and generous woman like our sister-in-law is worthy of our Boss Ye!]
[Third handsomest guy: Nothing more to say. You don't need to attend any of the remaining classes this semester; just go have fun with your girlfriend. I'll take care of all the attendance. Even if I have to skip class myself, I'll make sure to get you marked present!]
[What did you guys just retract? I was typing a message and didn't see it.]
[Fourth Handsome Guy: Nothing, just a slip of the finger.]
[Third handsomest guy: +1]
[Second Handsome Guy: +10086]
Watching the performance of the three in the group chat, Ye Su couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He then chose a KFC, placed an order on his phone for four burgers, original recipe chicken, and other main courses, and added snacks like sweet and spicy chicken racks, fries, corn on the cob, and four large colas.
"That's a lot, should be enough, right?"
After placing the order based on his knowledge of the three roommates and estimating it would be enough, Ye Su made the payment.
He waited outside the KFC for a bit, picked up the meal, and returned to the dorm.
"Deng deng deng, deng deng deng deng—" "Deng deng deng, deng deng deng deng—"
As soon as he pushed open the dorm door, Jiang Zhibin and the other two, as if they had rehearsed it, used their mouths to hum the entrance BGM of the God of Gamblers.
Ye Su played along by making the Peter Ho version of the [Lu Bu's Pride] meme face, holding two large bags of KFC in his hands, and strutted into the dorm in slow motion.
But before he could take a few steps, Fang Zewei couldn't help but urge him: "Hurry up, I can't [deng] anymore!"
"Oh, oh, oh!"
Ye Su then quickened his pace and placed the items on the small desk that the three of them had already pushed together in the middle of the aisle.
The other three weren't idle either; they jumped in to help Ye Su take the things out.
"As expected of Boss Ye, you bought so much. You really spent a fortune."
"How could I dare to let you three starve? Just don't go running to my bed to take a dump while I'm away later."
"The two of us aren't Jiang Zhibin; why would we do something like that?"
"Yeah." Fang Zewei nodded in agreement.
Jiang Zhibin was once again under concentrated fire and was about to throw the mud back, but then he noticed the watch on Ye Su's wrist.
"Huh, this blue balloon of yours is a pretty good imitation."
As he spoke, Jiang Zhibin grabbed Ye Su's hand and examined it curiously: "Holy crap, it looks exactly like the real thing. Guangzhou specialties really have a reputation for a reason."
Fang Zewei was only interested in peripherals like mechanical keyboards and mice and had never been into watches, so he didn't join in the fun, just honestly taking the remaining items to the table.
Lin Jingjie was also attracted by the watch and curiously leaned in: "This classic designer model is actually pretty good-looking. Where did you get this knockoff? I'll go get one later to show off too."
Ye Su swatted away their prying hands: "What knockoff? This is a huge investment my girlfriend gave me yesterday. It's a genuine, authentic product, okay? I haven't even thrown away the receipt yet."
"This is authentic!"
"I remember this watch costs nearly sixty thousand!"
"You really are the worst!"
Upon hearing that what Ye Su was wearing was a genuine blue balloon worth nearly sixty thousand, even Fang Zewei, who had the least interest in watches, stared at Ye Su's wrist in shock.
Although in the comment sections of major short video platforms, a fifty or sixty thousand watch is considered trash, and everyone starts with a Rolex.
But in the eyes of these three ordinary college students, a watch worth over fifty thousand was undoubtedly an astronomical price they had never imagined.
As a public undergraduate institution, the annual tuition at Lingnan Institute of Engineering was only a little over six thousand, plus fifteen hundred for a four-person dorm room, totaling only eight thousand.
Adding in monthly living expenses, the total cost for the three of them to attend college for these three years was less than fifty thousand.
Even adding in expenses like buying computers, the money they spent in three years of college barely equaled this watch in Ye Su's hand.
It was no wonder they had such a big reaction to Ye Su wearing a genuine blue balloon.
After the shock, Jiang Zhibin was the first to react, reaching out to stop the other two: "When we eat later, we have to stay away from him. Don't let anything splash onto his watch; we can't afford to pay for that!"
Lin Jingjie and the other nodded in agreement: "Makes sense!"
"Whoosh—"
Seeing the three of them teasing him about the watch, Ye Su dramatically thrust the watch toward them.
"Ah!"
Jiang Zhibin and the other two cooperated very well, retreating in an extremely exaggerated manner, like zombies hit by a gossip mirror.
No wonder they say men remain boys until they die.
Looking at this scene, it's hard to believe that the four of them add up to ten years old.
"Alright, stop messing around, the ice in the colas will melt soon."
"Oh, right!"
Hearing Ye Su bring up such a serious matter, the three didn't dare to mess around anymore; they jumped in to finish setting everything up, and the four prepared to eat.
Fang Zewei had specifically bought a monitor for gaming, so the four of them used his computer to play the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" to watch while eating.
B-Site has always been relatively lenient in its review process for classic movies like "Titanic" and "Exiled," allowing some users to upload uncensored versions.
As a representative work for heritage status, "Let the Bullets Fly" naturally enjoys this treatment.
Coincidentally, the resource Fang Zewei found on B-Site was also the uncensored version.
This led to the four sharp-eyed guys letting out a collective [Wow] when the movie reached a certain scene.
While eating, Ye Su took off his watch to avoid it interfering with his competing for food with the three hungry wolves.
So after the food was finished, while watching the movie, the three took turns picking up Ye Su's watch and looking it over from all angles.
They wanted to know what the difference was between a watch worth over fifty thousand and those mechanical watches worth over five hundred.
It wasn't until nearly 1:30 in the afternoon, when Ye Su and Lin Jingjie were getting ready to leave for class, that Jiang Zhibin reluctantly handed the watch back to Ye Su.
