CHAPTER 941: CHAPTER 547: NO REGRETS

Time flies like a white steed flitting past a crevice, a week slips away quietly.

October 15th, the bell rings to end the evening self-study session.

Right Protector Yang Sheng, from his seat, summons his slaves, commanding them to clean.

Duan Shigang and Liu Chuandao curse under their breath.

At the same time.

Dan Kaiquan stands at the back row, looking at his classmates, and calls out:

"Brother Nan, Brother Ma, Longlong, Cui Yu, Meng Gui, Yu Zhu... we can leave now."

He calls out to many people, surprisingly even including the temperamental Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi, looking excited because Dan Kaiquan promised to buy him dinner, responds eagerly: "Let’s go, let’s go!"

Dan Kaiquan waves his hand, "The restaurant is booked, let’s move!"

He acts rather ostentatiously in front of the whole class, stealing the spotlight.

This draws the attention of Yu Wen, Jiang Yanan, and Meng Zi Yun, who all turn around with odd expressions.

Dan Kaiquan keeps his gaze straight, and after gathering everyone, he leads them out of the school like a swarm.

He organized a dinner tonight to discuss important matters and enlist his brothers for help.

Cui Yu and Meng Gui walk arm in arm, lagging behind, and when they reach the door, they bump into Chai Wei, who looks as troubled as ever.

It only takes a week to turn a spirited youth into a gloomy young man.

Facing the narrow classroom door, Chai Wei rushes out first.

But then Cui Yu says: "Ah Wei, you’re blessed without knowing it!"

A lot happened this week, such as Chai Wei’s involvement in the ’Little Dining Table’ plan, living a ’young master’s’ life with ’concubines’ serving him three meals a day.

"Ah, truly enviable!" Cui Yu clicks his tongue.

Every time he goes to the small dining table to eat, Cui Yu sees that scene and his appetite improves by comparison!

Hearing this, Chai Wei thinks of his hellish days surrounded by Jin Hua since joining the small dining table plan, and his eye twitches as his face grows gloomier.

He tried to struggle, but after struggling, he only received even more overwhelming ’love’!

The weight of that love is too much for his life to bear.

He walks away silently, appearing calm.

But inside, he’s boiling, and the terrifying thought rises again.

...

Outside the school, at Er Pang Restaurant.

In the private room, the large round table is covered with dishes like chicken pot, beef with cabbage, braised eel, pickled fish, and various barbecues.

"Down it, down it!" the youths raise their beer glasses.

After a few drinks, the atmosphere warms up, even Zhang Chi and Yan Tianpeng feel like everyone’s good brothers now.

After three rounds of drinks, Guo Kunnan says: "Brother Quan, since you’re treating today, say a few words?"

Everyone’s eyes turn to Dan Kaiquan.

He’s the one paying for this meal, so everyone gives him some face.

Cui Yu says: "Brother Quan, just say what you need."

Yan Tianpeng, picking up a piece of beef and patting his chest like a bear: "Brother Quan, whatever you need, ol’ Yan here is strong as an ox!"

Zhang Chi: "Go ahead, say it."

Huang Yuzhu doesn’t speak but looks at Dan Kaiquan silently; he’s just there to make up the numbers.

Dan Kaiquan asks: "Longlong, tomorrow afternoon’s third period, our class and the first grade class 16, we don’t have class, right?"

Wang Longlong: "You can put a hundred minds at ease, I checked, no class."

"Director Wang will be at the field too, right?" he asks again.

"Yes, tomorrow he’s in charge of training the third-year sports students."

After understanding this, Dan Kaiquan nods: "Tomorrow, I need you guys to help me with something, it’s a bit risky, but after..."

He looks at everyone: "Fifty bucks each!"

"Hiss~" Zhang Chi takes a breath, fifty bucks!

He toils at the construction site, working hard for half a day, to earn fifty bucks, covered in grime.

Zhang Chi: "I’m in!"

Seeing that Yan Tianpeng hasn’t responded yet, he quickly says: "Tianpeng, if you’re not doing it, your share goes to me!"

Yan Tianpeng: "Screw you, I’m in, Brother Quan, just say the word!"

So, Dan Kaiquan reveals his plan.

...

Half an hour later, while others are eating and drinking in the private room, Guo Kunnan and Dan Kaiquan step out of the restaurant and stand by the roadside.

Guo Kunnan looks at the distant streetlights, the dim night sky above, with the lights scattering faintly and insignificantly, just like him.

Suddenly, Guo Kunnan speaks: "Quanzi, do you regret it?"

He knows that Kaiquan spent nearly three thousand yuan for this confession, draining the money he earned working as a game booster during the summer, plus his living expenses, and even borrowing five hundred from him.

Three thousand yuan!

A flagship phone now costs only 1999 yuan, wouldn’t it be better to spend the money on a new phone and play games every day?

Dan Kaiquan shakes his head: "There’s no such thing as worth or not."

He steps on an empty can at his feet, crushing it flat.

Guo Kunnan: "Do you really like her?"

He’s referring to Lan Zichen, whom Dan Kaiquan has only known for a month, yet he’s already prepared to confess.

Are feelings really that intense for him to go this far for her?

"Yeah, I like her, otherwise, there wouldn’t be this dinner tonight." Dan Kaiquan says.

Lan Zichen is very pretty with good temperament, the only downside may be her height which is only about 1.55 meters, but Dan Kaiquan doesn’t mind.

Guo Kunnan feels like his good brother is a bit dazed, so he asks again:

"Do you know what liking someone means?"

After half a minute, Dan Kaiquan says: "I used to have a dog, every time I came home, the little dog would run to lick my hand."

Guo Kunnan smiles, as a country boy himself, he can relate to his good brother’s words, although it seems a bit off-topic.
