Chapter 15: Creditor at the Door

Chapter 15: Creditor at the Door

Entertainment activities for boarding students were limited, especially after 10 PM when the dormitory gates closed and they could only stay in their rooms.

Huang Haibao came from a well-off family and had his parents buy him an Alienware laptop, claiming it was needed for studying.

Fortunately, his parents didn't know much about laptop models. If they had known this was a gaming laptop, they wouldn't have bought it for him no matter what.

Usually at this time, Huang Haibao would either be gaming on his Alienware or organizing internal chat sessions in room 503.

But due to the class beauty incident, plus Li Zhanpeng's earlier provocation, he had no interest in anything and kept sighing.

"Old Huang, can you shut the hell up?"

Shen Yuan wanted to have a good sleep, but Old Huang kept sighing non-stop. Those who didn't know might think something had happened to his family.

"Third, I can't sleep, and I bet you can't either. Let's chat."

"No chatting! I can sleep just fine!" Shen Yuan couldn't be bothered with him.

"Old Huang, if you're not using your computer, lend it to me for a couple rounds of LoL. I'm in my promotion series."

Cao Shunjin walked up to Huang Haibao, speaking carelessly.

"Get lost!"

Huang Haibao snapped: "I'm heartbroken here, and you still have the mood to play games?"

"Damn, you being heartbroken doesn't mean I'm heartbroken."

"..."

Shen Yuan's sleepiness was completely disrupted by these two. He sighed and sat up on his bed: "Old Huang, what do you want to talk about? Let's talk."

Huang Haibao thought for a moment, then said meaningfully: "Actually, I don't have anything specific to talk about, but these past few days all I can think about are women."

"Can't your dirty mind contain anything other than games and women?"

Shen Yuan looked down on him somewhat.

Huang Haibao spat at him: "Stop pretending, Third. We're all the same."

Cao Shunjin, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke up: "To be honest, except for Third, neither of us has touched a woman. Third, tell us about it, what does it actually feel like?"

The after-lights-out chat sessions were always Cao Shunjin's most anticipated program, especially when researching female physiology.

His throat moved as he swallowed, feeling somewhat expectant.

This question immediately stirred up Old Huang's emotions too. He had wanted to argue back, but he had only been to foot massage parlors and such places, which didn't count as really touching a woman.

So he was also curious to hear Shen Yuan's real experience, what was it actually like?

"Hmm..."

"How should I put it..."

Shen Yuan pondered. This kind of thing was really hard to describe.

"Let me put it this way..."

"Third, just say it already!"

Huang Haibao's appetite was whetted to his throat, and he couldn't help but urge him on.

"Third, just tell us. It's only the three of us here, we won't tell anyone else."

Cao Shunjin's heart was itching, and he added his own plea.

"Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."

"Holy shit, you'll be struck by divine punishment for this! Do you believe Old Cao will violate your ass?"

Old Huang was clearly losing emotional control.

"I don't believe it."

Shen Yuan initially thought they were just talking, but unexpectedly Cao Shunjin actually started groping toward him.

"Holy shit, Old Cao, are you serious?"

"That's for keeping us in suspense, you bastard!"

Of course, the ass violation wouldn't actually happen. Under Shen Yuan's desperate resistance, Old Cao and Old Huang didn't succeed.

After the battle subsided, Huang Haibao still seemed unsatisfied. His eyes gleamed in the darkness: "Hey, Old Cao, didn't you get that website last time? Send it to me."

"Sure, but I get to borrow your computer for a day tomorrow."

"Damn, you're really good at business!"

That brief chat had ignited Huang Haibao's restlessness. But when Huang Haibao put on his headphones and stared lewdly at the constantly fluctuating computer screen in the darkness, room 503 finally returned to peace.

Good, finally he could get a good night's sleep!

Shen Yuan fell asleep with a smile on his lips.

The next day was Friday, with a morning class on "International Business Communication and Negotiation."

However, the teacher for this course was a little old man who lectured very boringly. Since going would just mean sleeping in class anyway, Shen Yuan simply slept through it.

Cao Shunjin had originally planned to attend class, but when he got up at 8 AM and saw that both Shen Yuan and Old Huang were still curled up in their blankets, he cursed them as lazy bastards and went back to sleep himself.

After getting up, Shen Yuan checked his phone and found three WeChat messages.

Two were from Fang Minhui.

"Good morning" "Why didn't you come to class?"

"Overslept. Helpless.JPG" Shen Yuan replied.

There was also one from Zhou Wanting. It seemed she had removed him from her blacklist.

"Didn't your family go bankrupt? Where did you get the money?"

Zhou Wanting was still hung up on this matter. Shen Yuan couldn't be bothered to reply and promptly added her to his blacklist.

After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Shen Yuan saw that Huang Haibao and Cao Shunjin were still fast asleep. He didn't have the heart to wake them, after all, they had watched Japanese adult films for so long last night, they must have expended quite a bit of vital essence.

He prepared to go downstairs to the cafeteria to find food by himself, but thinking that today was Friday and he had no afternoon classes anyway, he decided to just go home to eat.

Half an hour later.

Shen Yuan pushed open the door to go home as usual. Just as he was about to greet everyone, he unexpectedly saw a relative sitting on the living room sofa.

It was his cousin uncle, Shen Yaode.

Shen Yuan had a deep impression of this cousin uncle because he often came to visit during holidays, always carrying large and small packages.

It was said that Old Shen had helped this cousin uncle before.

Back then, Shen Yaode had no money but wanted to open a car wash. Old Shen had lent him 300,000 yuan at the time.

Later, Shen Yaode's car wash business did quite well. Over two years, he gradually paid back the loan.

With that car wash, he managed to buy a house in Star City and got himself a BMW 5 Series, completely transforming his life.

Then later, when Old Shen's travel agency was about to go bankrupt, he had asked Shen Yaode to lend him 200,000 yuan, which he had indeed lent to Old Shen.

So Shen Yuan had a pretty good impression of this cousin uncle, at least he was a relative who knew how to repay kindness.

Unlike some relatives who used to visit frequently when the family was doing well.

Now after the bankruptcy, they all kept their distance, afraid of being asked for loans.

"Little Yuan is back."

Shen Yaode greeted him kindly.

"Hello, Cousin Uncle." Shen Yuan replied politely.

"Shen Yuan, go wait in your sister's room for a while. We need to discuss something with your cousin uncle," Shen Heping said.

"Okay."

Shen Yuan didn't know what confidential matter they needed to discuss that required him to avoid it, but he still had to listen to Old Shen. Shen Yuan walked straight toward Shen Xuan's room.

Just as he was about to enter, he heard his cousin uncle's earnest words: "Brother, I know you're having difficulties too, but everyone's having difficulties in this economic climate. If I wasn't having cash flow problems myself, I wouldn't be asking you for money."

Shen Yuan instinctively turned to look and saw Li Hongjuan frowning with an unpleasant expression.

Old Shen's expression didn't show much change as he smiled and said: "Little brother, you have your difficulties, I understand. But give me a bit more time, I have a shipment that should bring in payment soon, and I can pay you back part of it then."

"Brother, a partial payment definitely won't be enough. My car wash's cash flow right now..."

Shen Yuan finally understood. He had thought it was something else, but this cousin uncle had come to collect a debt. And judging by Lady Li's temper, he must have come at least four or five times.

Otherwise, his mother wouldn't look so displeased.

This Shen Yaode was indeed somewhat unreasonable. When Old Shen had lent him that 300,000 yuan, it took him two years to pay it back, and Old Shen had never pressured him during that time.

Now Old Shen had only borrowed from him for a few months, and he was already eager to get the money back.

So much for Shen Yuan's good impression of him.

"Shen Yaode, that's not how you should behave. Do you still remember who lent you 300,000 yuan when you had no money to open your car wash?"

Li Hongjuan suddenly stood up and scolded: "Now we've only borrowed 200,000 from you, and you keep coming to demand payment, what's the meaning of this? Besides, it's not like we're not going to pay you back."

Li Hongjuan got emotional and spoke without restraint.

Normally, when facing a creditor, one shouldn't lose their temper like this no matter what.

But this Shen Yaode had originally been just an ordinary worker, without Old Shen's kindness, how would he have what he has today? She was really too angry to bear it.

Shen Heping tugged at Li Hongjuan's arm, trying to calm her: "Alright, alright, say less. Little brother has his own difficulties too."

"Whether he has difficulties or not, he knows in his own heart!"

Li Hongjuan turned and walked into the room, slamming the door with a "bang."
