Chapter 387: Do You Know What Decency Means?
Jiang Ran didn’t know what Pei Yang was thinking.
Jiang Ran also didn’t particularly want to know.
After everything that happened, the peak time at the store had passed, and they could leave.
"Brother Chen, there aren’t so many people right now, let’s go!"
Chen Bing quickly agreed to Jiang Ran’s words, "Okay, I’ll just give a quick word, and we’ll leave."
Chen Bing left quickly and returned just as fast.
Once Chen Bing returned, they all got up and walked out together.
As they went out, they were surprised to find that Xu Ruyun, who had left a while ago, hadn’t really left but was standing in a spot not visible from inside the store.
Xu Ruyun probably didn’t expect them to come out so soon, and she looked a bit embarrassed being caught like that.
But the embarrassment lasted only for a moment; she quickly composed herself and put on a gentle smile.
"Why did you all come out? Is there something going on?" Xu Ruyun said, touching her hair casually while asking, "By the way, where is Senior Brother?"
"My big brother is at home, he didn’t come," Pei Yang said with a straight face, his tone devoid of warmth.
He was so blunt; this girl should leave now, right?
But Pei Yang was wrong.
After hearing this, Xu Ruyun not only didn’t leave but also quickly walked towards them, looking at Pei Yang somewhat nervously.
"Why didn’t Senior Brother come?"
Pei Yang’s expression turned even colder, "What’s that got to do with you?"
Xu Ruyun opened her mouth, but nothing came out.
Seeing Pei Yang’s cold expression and the indifference on Jiang Ran’s face, Xu Ruyun realized she had said something wrong.
"We... all of us, the classmates, miss Senior Brother. He’s very talented; he shouldn’t be hidden away in a small place. He should come to Beishi to develop..."
"Enough!" Pei Yang directly interrupted Xu Ruyun.
"Stop calling him Senior Brother so intimately. Among the students at Beishi University in the same cohort as my big brother, there are at least hundreds, if not thousands, right? Why are you only calling my big brother Senior Brother and caring about where he should develop? What does it have to do with you? Even if he goes to university, he’s still my parents’ son, and it’s right for him to be close to them, even if that means farming at home. Why must he come to Beishi to develop?"
"Where my big brother lives depends on where my sister-in-law is, not on you."
"Don’t say it’s out of kindness. My big brother doesn’t need that kind of kindness from you. In our place, although there aren’t many college students, even girls who haven’t been to school in the village know to stay away from married men. It’s impossible to keep following a married man, talking nonsense in front of his wife and children, and calling him Senior Brother so intimately."
"My sister-in-law doesn’t say anything because she can’t be bothered with you, or do you really think you’re someone important?"
"I’m different from my sister-in-law. I’m my big brother’s real brother. I can’t stand by and watch my brother get caught up in rumors, or what if my sister-in-law decides to leave him?"
"If you’re really a college student, you should know what manners and integrity are, right?"
By the time Pei Yang finished, Xu Ruyun’s face had turned as pale as paper, her slim body slightly trembling.
