Chapter 40 My mother gave birth to me as a shame
After Wang Xiaokai's birthday, Zhang Yunqi had no handheld devices to sell, and the 800 handheld devices he asked Wang Guibing to buy from Shenzhen had not arrived yet. Apart from studying every day, he would accompany Wang Xiaokai to lie on the corridor and comment on the girls passing by. His life was more leisurely than that of a prostitute.

After school, he would occasionally go to the game hall with Tian Zhuangzhuang and Yang Wei. After eating Wang Xiaokai's birthday dinner that day, he had no intention of going to the game hall, but Tian Zhuangzhuang insisted on dragging him there, and then he tortured the three roommates so much that he couldn't take care of himself and had incontinence. After that, the brothers would drag him to the game hall every now and then to teach him techniques.

During class, Zhang Yunqi would occasionally pay attention to Zou Zheng. After the backdoor incident, his classmates began to distance themselves from him. Zou Zheng was obviously lonely. He rarely went out to do activities. His roommates said that he always lay in bed and read martial arts novels day and night. Zhang Yunqi could only see him during class, and he looked unhappy.

After the last gathering, Wang Xiaokai, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Yang Wei, Lin Yueying and Yu Xiaorui became very close girls. They would get together after class and talk about all sorts of things. They soon became close friends. Zhang Yunqi was also among them, and it was sometimes quite interesting.

Youth is spent talking nonsense.

She was a little different when we first met. Although she was considered a member of this circle, she seldom joined in small talk. She often sat under the window reading a book. Her eyes were clear and clean. The sunlight shone on her white cotton skirt and skin, making them seem transparent.

One has to admit that this is indeed a girl who is so outstanding that she attracts a lot of attention. During every break, Zhang Yunqi could see boys from the next class hurriedly passing by and suddenly blushing when they first saw them.

The National Day holiday is coming soon.

On the afternoon of September 9, after the last self-study class, the students scattered with their bags. In less than ten minutes, Zhang Yunqi was the only one left in the classroom.

Zhang Yunqi had no plans to go home. He wanted to take advantage of the holiday to run some market rounds. To put it bluntly, he wanted to go to convenience stores to promote the game and build up sales channels for the Tetris handheld console.

The early 1990s were different from the later generations. Zhang Yunqi still remembers that in the early 21st century, most convenience stores on the street had Tetris handheld games for sale. At that time, a variety of handheld games had swept across China, and the price dropped to about ten yuan per game, and the cheapest ones were even five yuan. But in the early 1990s, Tetris handheld games were still a new thing for many people, and the price was not cheap, so it was not easy to sell them.

The cafeteria was closed at noon, so Zhang Yunqi had a quick meal at a small restaurant on the school street. When he returned to the dormitory and was about to take a nap, he was stopped at the door by the doorman, Old Man Liu, who told him that someone had left a number named Wang Guibing and asked him to call back quickly.

Zhang Yunqi called the number and Wang Guibing said on the phone that he and 800 handheld devices had arrived at the train station and asked them to come quickly to move the goods.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yunqi ran directly to the train station and found Wang Guibing at the agreed location. There were eight large bags of 800 Tetris handheld games. He called a tricycle and transported them to the dormitory with Wang Guibing. They were only placed here temporarily. It was not safe to leave so many handheld games in the dormitory, and they took up too much space. He planned to take time tomorrow to send them to his sister's house.

After placing the handheld device in place, Zhang Yunqi handed a bottle of water to Wang Guibing and asked him if he had eaten.

Wang Guibing said he had eaten on the way and wanted to go home.

Zhang Yunqi accompanied him to the school gate, and the two discussed the subsequent dividend distribution. He would be given a portion of the dividend on a regular basis every month, and the balance would be settled within three months.

After the discussion, Wang Guibing waved and left. Zhang Yunqi turned around and went back to the dormitory. When he passed the playground, he suddenly heard laughter. He turned around and saw Ji Ling.

Ji Ling is playing badminton with a little boy.

She was wearing a light blue shirt and a pair of denim shorts. She had fair skin and delicate features. She was wearing a pair of Nike sneakers, which were rare in that era. Her long legs were slender and straight. The most beautiful thing about her was her eyes, which were clean, clear and bright.

Zhang Yunqi also knew the little boy who played badminton with Ji Ling. He was the grandson of Old Man Liu, the doorman of the boys' dormitory. No one knew his real name, but everyone called him Liu Erpang. This guy was not very old, but he was very naughty and mischievous in the dormitory.

Being alone is shameful, and being lonely makes one's cock restless. Zhang Yunqi had nothing to do, so he walked over and said, "Let's play ball. How about I join in?"

Ji Ling was a little surprised to see Zhang Yunqi: "You didn't go home?"

Zhang Yunqi was probably the only one in the whole school who didn't go home during the National Day holiday. He smiled and said, "It's too far. It's not easy to go back. Besides, I have some things to do in the next two days. I won't go back."

Ji Ling said "Oh" and handed him the badminton racket: "I have been playing for a long time. If you want to play, play with this kid first. He has good skills."

Zhang Yunqi thought to himself, I ran over here in the scorching sun just to play ball with this seven or eight-year-old kid?
Am I mentally retarded or are you sick?
"He's too young, he's no match for me." Zhang Yunqi carried Liu Erpang aside, turned around and said to Ji Ling, "Let's have a competition."

Before the other party could answer, Liu Erpang's childish voice came from behind: "Uncle, do you want to pick up this sister?"

Zhang Yunqi reached out and patted Liu Erpang's head. Are these kids so precocious these days? And you're still talking nonsense about seniority. She's the elder sister and I'm the uncle?
Ji Ling narrowed her eyes and smiled. She returned the racket and badminton to Liu Erpang and pinched his little face. "It's not good for a child to have wild thoughts. He is my good friend. I have something else to do. I will play with you next time."

"Yeah!" Erpang nodded.

Ji Ling turned around and asked Zhang Yunqi to walk together. The two of them strolled side by side on the tree-lined path of the campus. The campus, which was usually noisy and bustling, was very quiet at this time. The girl next to him didn't talk much, and occasionally squinted her eyes to look at the sky, looking a little lonely.

He asked, "It's been so long since school, why don't you go home?"

"My parents are not at home, and it's boring to be alone."

"Then you can come and play with me during the National Day if you have nothing to do."

"play what?"

"You don't have to play anything with friends. It's good to just walk around like this."

"Where's the good?"

"I'm a good person."

"Well, I'm sorry, I really can't see any good in him, but I can see a lot of bad habits, such as he's ugly and likes to smell shameless..."

"Hey, hey, hey, stop it, sister. If you keep talking, I'm going to feel like it's a shame for my mom to have given birth to me."

"Please, please don't insult your aunt."
