People say that returning home in glory is a noble act, but in the end, it just means doing well outside and then going home in fine clothes to visit your family. Is that really a glorious return? No matter how rich or successful you are outside, no one will recognize you.
But it's different when you go home. Everyone's saying, "Hey, isn't that so-and-so from so-and-so's family?"
Look how well they've done!
Isn't that so-and-so from the east end of the village? Look, he's driving back in a Mercedes! And look at you! You good-for-nothing...
...
Returning home in glory doesn't seem to mean going back on your own, but rather returning with a lot of heavy burdens. Ultimately, it's about those indelible memories.
Humans have their own complexes. For example, when a man and a woman are together, the man will always remember whether his wife was a virgin, whether she had undergone hymenoplasty, or whether she wasn't a virgin at all. This is the virginity complex. But if you think about it carefully, is it really meaningful? We are all naive and ignorant in our youth; even saints make mistakes. But was the man's first time with someone else? Was he inherently pure?
Furthermore, does it mean that being with this woman is necessarily the right choice, while being with someone else is wrong...?
...
The opposite of virginity complex is homesickness. Going home is, in essence, about missing someone, or perhaps even more intense than that is the desire to show off, to let the villagers see, to let the streets see, to let old classmates see, to flaunt one's achievements and nobility—it's all about showing off...
...
Chen Chu also has his own obsessions, besides this virginity obsession... Of course, he'll sleep with women who aren't virgins too, he just does it to make up the numbers. When he sees a pretty woman, he gets itchy inside. Another obsession is with his classmates.
His elementary and middle school classmates were all beautiful women in everyone's eyes, the kind of women everyone could only dream of, like Zhu Na and Liu He. Chen Chu getting them was seen as proof that he was awesome.
At this moment, that's exactly what Chen Chu was thinking.
Liu He struggled with all her might, crying and screaming, but she was no match for Chen Chu's strength.
Pressed down by Chen Chu, who kissed her lips fiercely, Chen Chu felt it was so wonderful, while Liu He felt it was a huge humiliation. In the end, she could not resist Chen Chu's attack, and her pearly teeth were finally pried open, and Chen Chu's tongue powerfully probed inside.
He stirred her fragrant lips and little tongue, savoring the saliva in her mouth.
Wang He suddenly stopped moving, letting Chen Chu kiss her. Chen Chu thought she had given up, so he relaxed and stroked her shoulders with his hands, then moved down to touch her breasts.
Liu He trembled. She felt that her breasts, which no man had ever touched before, were about to be grabbed by Chen Chu. His hand had already lifted her bra and touched her fair breasts, and two fingers were about to pinch her nipples.
Suddenly, Liu He's eyes widened, and she bit down hard. Chen Chu sensed something was wrong and quickly withdrew his tongue. However, Liu He's pearly teeth still bit down hard on Chen Chu's lips.
"Ouch..." Chen Chu cried out, jumping off the bed in pain and rushing to the window to shine the light on his mouth.
His lips were bleeding from being bitten, a long line of blood.
At this moment, Liu He jumped off the bed, quickly put on his shorts, and then started to put on his shirt.
Chen Chu raised his hand in anger.
Liu He glared at him and cried loudly, "Hit me! Hit me if you want!" Liu He leaned closer, her face streaked with tears, and bit her lip as she said fiercely, "Chen Chu! I'm telling you, today, even if you touch me, even if you rape me, I... I'll jump off this building..."
Chen Chu laughed: "Look at the third floor, you won't die even if you jump..."
"I...I'll jump headfirst!" Liu He was already sobbing uncontrollably; she was extremely emotional.
Chen Chu frowned, suddenly remembering what Old Zhang had said: Liu He had a stubborn temper, unlike Zhu Na, who was more materialistic. He thought that if Chen Chu became rich in the future, she might change her opinion of him.
If you have no money... she might really look down on you for the rest of her life, but if you really force yourself on her, Liu He, she might really commit suicide.
Remembering Old Man Zhang's words, Chen Chu couldn't help but reconsider the pros and cons of this matter. If he didn't go up now, it would be easy to take down Liu He. No matter what means he used, whether it was with needles or by going directly, he could do it.
But every time Old Zhang told him something, it came true. And today he even cast a divination for himself, which turned out to be very bad.
Did he foresee that he would use force against Liu He, that he would end up with her, and that Liu He would commit suicide by jumping off the building? Even if he didn't die from the fall, breaking his leg on the third floor would make him feel guilty for the rest of his life.
Ultimately, Liu He was his classmate in elementary and middle school, and he had liked her and Zhu Na for so many years; he had deep feelings for them.
If anything happens to Liu He, he will never have peace of mind, especially if something happens to him...
"Hoo hoo... Liu He, don't get agitated, listen to me..." Chen Chu exhaled and calmed down.
He had calmed down, but Liu He hadn't. He was already dressed and wearing shoes: "Chen Chu, you're just a toad, dreaming of becoming swan meat! Keep dreaming! Let me tell you the truth, you're nothing, you're inferior to everyone, you're even inferior to Ma Huaqiang, do you know that?"
"I..." Chen Chu didn't argue, and just chuckled.
Liu He continued, "Although Ma Huaqiang is a scoundrel, he still has greenhouses, and the vegetables in his greenhouses can bring in a considerable income every year. He also has a van and a motorcycle. What do you have? Your beat-up motorcycle was given to you by Jin Xing! You have nothing! I just look down on you!"
Chen Chu nodded, then scratched his head and chuckled, "Yes, you're right, and I'm a toad trying to eat swan meat, right? Hehe... Keep cursing."
"Hmph!" Liu He snorted coldly and said, "Chen Chu, I can't even be bothered to curse you. I only came today because of all these people, and that's because of Fang Yangyang and the others. If it were you, Chen Chu, ptooey! I would never have come in my life. Do you know how much I hate you? I wish I could run into you the next day, and witness you being hit by a car and killed, then run over and crushed to death..."
Chen Chu chuckled. Although he was unhappy, he was no longer the immature boy he was a few months ago. If it were before, he would have been furious. But in the past two months, he had been fighting and doing a lot of things to build up his courage, and at the same time, he had become more shrewd.
He could be said to have a thick skin to back up his insults...
"Chen Chu! You're nothing! You're not even human! You sneaked into my room in the middle of the night! Pui!" Liu He shoved Chen Chu hard, then rubbed his arm against his lips and spat repeatedly, as if trying to rub off a layer of skin from his lips.
Chen Chu smiled and said, "I...I'm not sick. I just kissed you a few times! Why are you making such a fuss?"
"It's absolutely necessary! It's fucking necessary! Chen Chu, your hand is a dog's paw! It's a tortoise's paw!"
Liu He cursed, then ran to the bathroom, slammed the door shut, plugged it in, and then turned on the shower. He didn't know if it was hot or cold water, but he took off his clothes and started washing himself.
Logically speaking, Chen Chu knew that Liu He was taking a bath inside, and since he was aroused, he should have rushed in and taken advantage of her.
However, Chen Chu sat on the sofa next to him with a sigh, deep in thought.
It wasn't just because Old Zhang said that Liu He was a woman who brought bad luck to her husbands, but also because Liu He's words had stirred his thoughts even more.
I couldn't help but think, "Yes! I'm really not good enough. My family still lives in a mud-brick house, and I don't have much money."
Of course, he's still a student, only sixteen or seventeen years old. Earning money is something for the future; he should focus on his studies now. But upon closer reflection, that's not the right way to think. What does it mean that it's not time to earn money yet? What does it mean that he's a student now? No!
I am a man, a man with hands and feet, who should be able to support himself. I used to cheat on women, which is understandable, as it was always consensual. But a man should have his own career, and now I have accomplished nothing.
If we have to bring up age, let's talk about Shao Xiaodong. Regardless of whether what he did was right or wrong, he was already in the sex industry when he was sixteen or seventeen, with more than ten prostitutes under his command, earning hundreds or thousands of yuan every day.
When Ji Yang was sixteen or seventeen, he started his gang and became Fatty Yin's henchman. He always charged forward recklessly in fights and made a lot of money.
None of these are legitimate ways to make money, but the money earned through legitimate means can be substantial. Liu Nan isn't much older than me, and he can earn two or three hundred yuan a day selling mobile phones... As for me, I just drift through life, and although I have tens of thousands of yuan on hand, it's either from Xiao Qing or from Ji Yang last time...
"Damn it!" Chen Chu rubbed his head, suddenly realizing that Liu He was right. His words had woken him from his slumber, and he deserved to be looked down upon.
Twenty minutes later, Chen Chu laughed and said loudly, "Liu He, stop washing! You'll wash your skin raw if you keep going! I'm not that dirty..."
"Pah! You're filthy! Get out of here! I don't want to hear your voice or see your shadow. Get far away from me, or I'll kill myself..."
"What does your life or death have to do with me? I have no responsibility if you commit suicide!" Chen Chu was startled after saying this, thinking to himself, "Am I crazy?!" Liu He is a fiery woman, and he provoked her. If she really commits suicide, he really won't be able to escape responsibility...
Suddenly, the sound from inside the bathroom disappeared. Just as Chen Chu was about to kick open the door to rescue the person, the door suddenly opened, and Liu He, who had already washed herself clean, walked out.
Its clean appearance is like a lotus flower emerging from the water.
Chen Chu chuckled and said, "You...you're not dead..."
Liu He snorted coldly: "Chen Chu, you're dreaming! You want me to die? Fine, I'll find someone to take me down with me before I die. I'll write a blood oath on the wall before I die, recounting everything that happened. You forced me to die..."
"Hey, hey, no, no, my dear grandma, Liu He, I'm so sorry, I was wrong, please don't do this!"
"Get out!" Liu He shoved him hard and walked coldly toward the door.
"Hey, where are you going? It's the middle of the night!"
"It's none of your business!"
Liu He shouted loudly, then opened the door and slammed it shut. Chen Chu wanted to chase after him, but suddenly realized he was only wearing his underwear. He quickly ran back to his room to get dressed and then opened the door to leave.
Then they saw Liu He, dressed neatly, knocking on Ji Yang's door.
Chen Chu let out a sigh, shook his head with a wry smile, and thought to himself, "Liu He just likes Ji Yang, damn it! Anyway, I've tried my best, but there's nothing I can do..."
