Leng Nuan turned around and glanced at Lu Benlai. Without bothering to respond to him, she turned her head back and continued packing her things.
However, Lu Benlai was as stubborn as a cockroach. Undaunted, he continued poking Leng Nuan’s back, “I really have a stomachache over here. There’s nothing I can do when nature calls. As a fellow human, you can’t leave me in the lurch like this. It’s just a packet of tissue, are you really going to…”
Before Lu Benlai could finish his piece, a packet of tissue landed on his table. It was accompanied by Leng Nuan’s wintry voice, “Can you please shut up?”
Lu Benlai picked up the packet of tissue as a smile spread wide across his face, “Thank you.”
Leng Nuan ignored him.
However, Lu Benlai was unfazed by the fact that he was being ignored. He persistently prattled on, “Hey, how much is one packet of tissue? I will pay you.”
There was still no response.
Lu Benlai, “I don’t like to owe others things. If you don’t accept my money, it will be eating on my conscience and cause me mental distress. When I feel distressed, I won’t be able to sleep well, eat well, and study well. If this were to go on, how can I face my parents…”
Leng Nuan: “Fifty cents!”
Lu Benlai swiftly rummaged through his pockets before saying, “I forgot to bring my wallet, can I transfer the money to you through WeChat instead?”
Noticing a lack of response from Leng Nuan, Lu Benlai proposed an alternative, “If WeChat isn’t convenient for you, how about AliPay?”
“If that doesn’t work either, how about bank transfer? Which one is more convenient for you? Can you hurry up? My stomach is hurting, I can’t hold…”
Just like before, Lu Benlai was cut off before he could finish his sentence. Without any warning, Leng Nuan had turned around and shoved her handphone in his face.
Her AliPay account QR code was projected on the screen.
Lu Benbai hurriedly whipped out his handphone swiftly and scanned the QR code, “I will transfer the money to you right now…”
As he chattered on, he had already keyed in the amount to transfer and his password. The transaction went through successfully.
“I have transferred you fifty-two cents. One cent is to express my gratitude and the other is interest on the debt…”
Before Lu Benlai could finish his sentence, Leng Nuan had already finished packing and left the classroom.
Her movements were quick. It didn’t take her long to catch up with Shi Yao, who had left the classroom the earliest.
Soon after, He Tiantian and Jiang Yue followed suit and left the classroom too.
After the girls left, Lu Benlai tore his hands away from his stomach and sat back down on his chair. He waved the packet of tissue in his hand triumphantly as he said, “Did you see that? My wife gave me a token of love!”
Xia Shangzhou, who had witnessed the exchange between Lu Benlai and Leng Nuan earlier, eyed him with disdain, “Tsk! You only got that through shameless, underhanded trickery!”
Lu Benlai, “So what if I got it through some shameless, underhanded trickery? If you are that great, why don’t you try to get one too? At the very least, I still have a wife who would give me things. What about you two?”
It was just a second after recovering from Shi Yao’s beration did Lin Jiage catch wind of Lu Benlai’s triumphant bragging, and a deep furrow emerged between his eyebrows. He reached into his pocket for his wallet and pulled out a strip of paper, saying, “I do.”
This was the note which Shi Yao had passed to him back when he was serving as an invigilator for the examination on Marxism.
If Lu Benlai’s packet of tissue paper is considered a token of love, then his note must be the token of love of all tokens of love!
With such thoughts in mind, Lin Jiage threw a sharp dagger over, “Shi Yao gave this to me on her own accord.”
Lu Benlai immediately regretted his words. He should not have brought Lin Jiage into it. He quickly corrected his mistakes and concentrated his attacks on Xia Shangzhou, “Fine. Boss has a token of love from Little Junior, and I have a token of love from my wife. Old Xia, what about you? What do you have?”
