Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Who did he think Lu Beixiao was?
He came from a long line of military personnel and was brought up in a family with a lack of belief in the existence of gods or spiritual beings. He was not even afraid of death. In fact, the rune of exorcism on his forehead came as a huge disgrace to him, which Da Sha had not given much thought about.
“Da Sha! You’re an idiot!” Lu Beixiao was already gnashing his teeth in rage. The echo of his voice still lingered in the dorm. Swiftly, he jumped out of his bed and removed the rune that set the geyser of his rage.
Da Sha had incautiously suffered a kick from Lu Beixiao before he could even begin chanting his incantations; he was like a thoughtless child who deserved to be punished.
The funny interaction between the two clowns had Ye Cheng chuckling away.
Lu Beixiao was not planning on letting Da Sha go unscathed, but Da Sha had already fled for his life. “Lu, you’re questioning me again! My runes are highly efficacious.”
“Of course it works! Stop hiding from me! Come here!”
Da Sha gazed at Lu Beixiao with a terrified look in his eyes as he stood by the bunk bed and shook his head in denial. It would be up to Lu Beixiao to catch him since Da Sha refused to move. They ran in circles around the bunk bed before Lu Beixiao finally caught Da Sha by the collar.
“Run! Run some more!”
“Lu, I was only trying to help you!”
“Damn! If you keep playing these sorts of tricks in our quarters, I’m going to report you.”
“Please don’t! Lu, I’ll not do it again! Never again!” Da Sha slowly cried out for mercy.
His life would be over once the Political Commissar was involved as he would be removed from the military at once.
Lu Beixiao found him both hilarious and annoying at the same time. He gave him a beating before throwing him out from the dormitory. The silly guy deserved to sleep with the mosquitoes tonight.
“What are you laughing at?” Lu Beixiao pulled a long face when he noticed that Ye Cheng was still shrieking with laughter.
Ye Cheng paused for a moment, but It was difficult for him to keep a straight face at the ludicrously improbable situation. He began laughing uncontrollably again at the thought of Lu Beixiao and his unfortunate rite of exorcism.
Lu Beixiao diverted his attention to the pager as soon as he walked to his bed. He read the message that she had left behind for him again.
“Bro, what does ‘mwah’ mean?” He roared in Ye Cheng’s face. He had never dated any girls, so there was no way he could understand the common slang used by people in relationships. Therefore, he decided to stop and ask.
Ye Cheng was his best shot. That guy was a player in matters of love.
“What?” Ye Cheng came forward.
“Mwah,” Lu Beixiao answered with an emphasis on its pronunciation.

“Mua?” Ye Cheng repeated uncannily, for he could not possibly have understood the internet slang that would only be created in the 21st century.

“She’s trying to flirt with you,” Ye Cheng tried to tease Lu Beixiao, the boy who was as innocent as a lamb when it came to relationships.

…
As soon as her father was discharged from the hospital, the next thing that Ye Qiao did when she got home was to install a telephone in the house. Her house was the second private property in the area that had ever owned the modern device of telecommunication. Her intention was simple – she wanted to stay in touch with her family after her return to J City.
It only took a moment for the telephone to be installed. The technician who came to place the device happened to be her cousin.
About ten years from now, this cousin of hers would suffer from an unfortunate incident while fixing a wire pole, which would leave him paralyzed from the waist down. The lack of a safety harness would be the very reason for the accident. His wife would then divorce him because of his physical disability.
With the lesson drawn from his past mistake, she had to warn him to be more careful about working from heights, in the hope that he would be able to protect himself from the potential mishap.
When the telephone was well installed, the first number that she planned to call was the paging center.
