To Our Pure Little Beauty

Chapter 38

The music was then replaced by a slow, lyrical song, someone was singing “The Most Romantic Thing”, but because I’ve just been lectured by Xue Jing regarding ‘computers’ so when the line, ‘The most romantic thing that I can think of, is to grow old with you.’ was sung, I heard it as, ‘The most romantic thing that I can think of, is to sell computers with you.’ Woe is me………The beef noodles soon arrived. The table was so low that I might as well squat on the floor. So I was eating while chatting about some trivial matters with Xue Jing. Xue Jing said that she didn’t work as a doctor after they’ve graduated, but instead became a medical representative, and had just resigned recently. When the topic regarding doing some small business came up, she asked me, “What can I sell that doesn’t need much funding and can reap huge profits in just a short term? You think such a business exists?”

I sucked a mouthful of noodles, “There is.”

“What is it?” Her eyes sparkled.

“Selling the flesh.”

Right as I was done speaking, Jungkook pushed my head, almost planting it inside the bowl of noodles. I rubbed my head feeling aggrieved and said, “Yi Shu said, if I don’t sell my youthfulness, it will just pass by anyway.”  [T/N : Popular Hong Kong writer ]

Xue Jing was panting with rage, “Then you sell!”

I looked down to gauge myself, “My youthfulness is left with just its tail, if I were to sell it, I can only sell it at a large discount in a clearance sale rack, really low in price, it’s no good.”

Xue Jing followed suit, gauging herself up as well. In the end, she lamented, “In any case, you’ve used your tail to roll up a strip of long-term meal stub, my tail can only be sold in clearance sale racks.” 

Just when we were endlessly being sentimental about the loss of our youth, Jungkook kicked me on the back with his toes, “Eat quickly, your noodles have turned into mush.”

I swallowed a few more mouthful of noodles then pleaded, “I’m full.”

Sitting next to Xue Jing, Big Fatty Lee moved over closely then said, “It’s a pity there’s so much left so I came over to eat.”

Jungkook grabbed the bowl of noodles, “I didn’t have dinner.”

Big Fatty Lee heaved a big sigh of disappointment, “If you haven’t eaten dinner, why didn’t you order for yourself?”

Xue Jing backed him up, “If you wanted to eat, why didn’t you order for yourself?”

“I’m on a diet.”

…….

Jungkook downed the noodles in two, three mouthfuls, right when he placed the bowl on the table, I suddenly remembered, “Don’t you hate coriander?”

He pulled me back to sit on the couch, “Have you gotten into a habit of squatting?”

I laughed mischievously, “When you asked that only then did I feel the numbness in my legs.”

In the middle of our conversation, Big Senior came out from the washroom. He was practically beaming, like he was skipping on a flowery path towards us. Probably from mingling with junior students these past few years, his face has truly become both beautiful and youthful.

His long legs passed by, then stopped between Xue Jing and I. He demanded, pointing his chin at us, “You two, move some space out for this big uncle.”

Xue Jing and I both inwardly agreed to just ignore him.

“You two, watch me use my butt to flatten you both into specimen samples!” He yelled, turning his back on us then jumping to sit down.
