49: Lies don't hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife!
At this moment, Yuan Gang and Hong Hao were observing the boys' dormitory with binoculars.
"Hmph! As expected of the Baili Group's young master, distributing Rolexes room by room—truly a display of immense wealth!" Hong Hao exclaimed.
"Not bad, not bad. It's truly rare and commendable that a few guys can resist the temptation of money."
Yuan Gang saw the reactions of Lin Qi Ye, Cao Yuan, Shen Qingzhu, and others, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
Meanwhile, Bai Li Pang Pang wasn't giving up. This time, he came up with a backpack filled not only with Rolexes but also various types of jewelry.
However, Lin Qi Ye didn't give him a chance and once again righteously refused him.
"Alright! It seems you genuinely don't like these!"
A dejected Bai Li Pang Pang walked to the next room, "Then I'll go deliver warmth to other comrades!"
"Hello!" Bai Li Pang Pang, following his habit, walked to the next doorway. Just as he greeted, he froze.
"This? No door?"
The spot where the entrance door should have been was blocked by a solid concrete wall. If not for the gaps at the edges, Bai Li Pang Pang would have thought he had gone to the wrong place.
"Comrade! Open up, I'm Bai Li Pang Pang, here to deliver warmth."
Bai Li Pang Pang shouted, but there was no response.
Just as he was about to shout again, the concrete slab at the doorway suddenly fell straight down.
Bai Li Pang Pang quickly retreated several steps. "What's going on? I'm just delivering warmth, why am I being hit by a concrete slab?"
Song Zhong walked out of the room and immediately saw the suspicious Bai Li Pang Pang with his backpack.
Before Song Zhong could speak, Bai Li Pang Pang, as if performing magic, suddenly produced a Rolex box in his hand.
"Haha, Comrade, my name is Bai Li Pang Pang. It's our first meeting, and this is a small local specialty from my hometown, please accept it."
"Oh! So, what is the purpose of what you're doing?" Song Zhong asked, looking at Bai Li Pang Pang.
Bai Li Pang Pang scratched his head. "Ah? No purpose! I just want to build good relationships with everyone and make friends!"
Song Zhong sized up Bai Li Pang Pang. "You probably don't have any friends, do you?"
Bai Li Pang Pang: (;´Д`)ゞ
How rude!
"You're talking nonsense! This young master has plenty of friends!"
Bai Li Pang Pang's chubby face flushed slightly.
Nonsense, how could someone as low-key and friendly as himself not have friends?
Normally, when he went out, wasn't he always surrounded by people?
If anyone were to say they had no friends, he would be the least likely person in this world to have no friends.
"Look, why are you getting agitated?" Song Zhong asked with a smile, "Do your friends truly like you, or do they like the gifts you give them?"
"Of course, it's me!"
"Oh! Then how can you be sure these are true friends? Or, let's rephrase the question: what is your definition of a friend?"
"Friends...friends are...friends are..." Bai Li Pang Pang's voice gradually faded. "Friends are people who can share with each other, I guess!"
"Alright!" Song Zhong continued, picking up on Bai Li Pang Pang's words, "People who can share, right? How's your Chinese language score?"
Bai Li Pang Pang was momentarily stunned. "Do I need to check my Chinese language score to make friends?"
Song Zhong shook his head. "The word 'share' is bidirectional! It's not a one-sided giving. Putting everything else aside, look at those new recruits who just accepted your gifts—did anyone share their gifts with you?"
"I..." Bai Li Pang Pang was speechless for a moment.
In fact, it wasn't just those new recruits; even in Guangzhou-Shenzhen, only those second-generation heirs from equally prominent families had ever returned gifts to Bai Li Pang Pang.
And even then, it was more out of basic courtesy.
"Shh!" Song Zhong made a shushing gesture. "I'm not finished yet!"
"Think carefully, Bai Li Pang Pang. Are those people truly your friends, or is it just your wishful thinking?"
Bai Li Pang Pang's face was beet red. "Stop talking, don't say another word!"
"Hehehe, Bai Li Pang Pang, though you seem a bit silly, you're not stupid at all. You actually know everything; you're just deceiving yourself. Was it intentional? Or accidental?"
Bai Li Pang Pang covered his ears with both hands and shouted loudly, "I'm not listening, I'm not listening, I'm not listening!"
"Bai Li Pang Pang, lies don't hurt people; the truth is a sharp blade!"
Song Zhong looked at Bai Li Pang Pang, who was squatting on the ground, a smile spreading across his face.
"Why? Why did you have to expose it!"
Bai Li Pang Pang's shouts attracted the attention of others.
As everyone walked into the corridor, they saw Bai Li Pang Pang squatting on the ground with red-rimmed eyes, and Mu Dong standing stiffly like a block of wood.
"What happened? Brother Bai Li, why are you squatting on the ground crying?" A new recruit who had just accepted a Rolex stepped forward.
But Bai Li Pang Pang remained squatting on the ground, unresponsive.
"Did you just bully him?" the new recruit asked.
Song Zhong rubbed his nose. "You could say that!"
"We're all comrades attending the Training Camp together. Don't you think what you did was a bit excessive?"
Facing the new recruit's questioning, Song Zhong smiled slightly. "So, are you going to stand up for him? And in what capacity? As Bai Li Pang Pang's friend? Or simply because you feel bad after accepting his gift?"
Song Zhong pointed at the shining Rolex on the new recruit's wrist as he spoke.
"No matter what, it's wrong to bully someone like this!" The new recruit was a bit flustered. Indeed, he wasn't familiar with Bai Li Pang Pang.
However, since he had accepted the watch and was wearing it, he felt it would be wrong not to step forward and uphold some fairness.
"So you're going to stand up for him? Are you his friend? Are you very familiar with him?" Song Zhong continued to retort.
"I..."
The new recruit found it difficult to answer. To say they were friends was a stretch; they had only known each other for a day, so how could they be familiar?
"See, Bai Li Pang Pang, you gave things away, but you didn't gain a friend!" Song Zhong squatted down and pulled away one of his hands covering his ears.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed Song Zhong's hand.
"Friend, you've gone a bit too far!"
Song Zhong looked up and saw it was Lin Qi Ye.
"Oh? Are you his friend?"
Lin Qi Ye nodded. "I am his friend!"
Bai Li Pang Pang looked up, surprisingly gazing at the young man who had refused his gift.
Song Zhong chuckled, "Haha, well, I've already bullied him. What can you do?"
Lin Qi Ye's brow furrowed. He knew the other party wanted to fight.
"Let's spar. If you lose, apologize! If I lose, I'll walk around you whenever I see you from now on!"
"Hehehe, alright!"
Song Zhong stood up. "How about a fistfight without using Forbidden Territory?"
Lin Qi Ye also didn't want to cause a big commotion, so he nodded in agreement.
"Tomato Night Watcher, Mu Dong!"
"Cangnan City Night Watcher, Lin Qi Ye!"
PS: Bai Li Pang Pang is suffering a bit now, so it won't be as painful when his father dies later!
