Saturday
It was a beautiful holiday. Even though he had stayed up late playing video games, Su Cheng still woke up early.
Because he had a busy schedule today.
Since it was a new day, his confession count had reset.
To avoid wasting today's chances, he decided to go to the International Mall to look for potential confession targets and buy some things to bring back.
In the afternoon, he still had to attend the class gathering.
Zhao Yan had contacted him last night, saying they would meet at the school gate for today's afternoon gathering.
He hesitated for a moment but ultimately agreed.
After all, he would be spending three years with these classmates, so it was necessary to interact with them appropriately.
Su Cheng leaned against the elevator, closing his eyes to think about his plans.
Currently, he had 13 cigarettes left.
Moreover, he would be joining the Archery Club on Monday, and he didn't know how much money that would cost, so he needed to be prepared financially.
"Ding dong" - the elevator arrived.
Su Cheng walked out of the elevator, heading towards the parking lot to ride his bicycle there.
For him, saving money wherever possible was important, and riding a bicycle was also enjoyable.
The bicycle he bought yesterday was quite cheap.
Just a few hundred yuan.
Although he could have bought a better one, he couldn't take his eyes off the dusty bicycle in the corner, because his intuition told him:
This bicycle would become an important companion.
This was a transmigrator's intuition.
Although he also wanted to criticize the protagonist's intuition at various auctions and roadside stalls,
He still subconsciously believed it and felt that this bicycle must be extraordinary.
At the very least, it must be a heavenly-grade magical treasure... yeah right!
Okay, he actually just wanted a bargain.
Soon, he arrived at the parking lot. After finding his parking space, what he saw made it difficult for him to control his emotions.
His bicycle had been carelessly thrown to the side on the ground.
And his parking space was still occupied by that black luxury car.
Having transmigrated for so long, this was the first time he felt so angry. He couldn't help but rub his temples to calm himself down.
After regaining his composure,
He walked over.
He picked up the bicycle and inspected it.
He found that his newly bought bicycle already had scratches.
The other party had deliberately thrown his bicycle away roughly, as revenge for yesterday's incident.
"It's him!"
Just then, four or five people came down from the parking lot entrance. One of them was the car owner from yesterday, who shouted ferociously:
He looked as if he had been waiting for Su Cheng to appear.
"What gives you the right to occupy public resources with a bicycle?"
There was a smile on his face, as if he was already assured of victory.
Last night, he had contacted other residents who hadn't purchased parking spaces, planning to criticize and suppress Su Cheng's behavior of occupying space without using it.
He had inquired and found out that this kid only lived by himself.
For such a country bumpkin who came to Flame City alone, what they feared most was trouble. A little pressure would be enough to scare him into submission, and he would have to swallow his anger. In the end, he could freeload a parking space.
Even if the other party became angry out of shame, it didn't matter. They had more people. If he dared to make a move, he would just lie on the ground and call the police to arrest him. Even if Su Cheng was in the right, striking first would put him at fault, and he could also take the opportunity to extort some money.
This was the perfect revenge plan he had come up with.
For this purpose, he had specially invited a few residents who also hadn't bought parking spaces for dinner and drinks last night, complaining to them. This immediately aroused their dissatisfaction.
After all, this matter also concerned their interests.
Even if they were unreasonable, when it came to matters of personal interest, they naturally united against a common enemy.
"Whose child are you? How can you be so ignorant of the rules!"
One of the middle-aged women pointed at Su Cheng's nose and scolded, her face full of anger.
"What are we supposed to do with our cars?"
"You really have no manners!"
The group of residents berated him, talking over each other.
"That's right, if everyone did what you're doing, wouldn't the parking lot be in chaos?"
"Exactly, how can you be so selfish?"
They all condemned Su Cheng.
"Do you know that what you're doing is illegal?"
At this point, yesterday's car owner also pointed at him, intending to intimidate Su Cheng with this statement.
...
Su Cheng didn't speak.
A wave of inexplicable anger surged to his head, but also because he had never encountered something so disgusting before, he felt that something was off, which instead made him calm down.
He began to observe their expressions.
Guessing their psychological activities.
Soon he understood the car owner's purpose.
"This is my parking space. Even if I just put a pair of shoes here, it's none of your business."
Su Cheng retorted without any courtesy.
"You..."
Yesterday's car owner was stunned for a moment, not expecting this kid to be able to say such words in this situation.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"Fuck your mother, just because it's your parking space you can annoy people as you like?"
"You could easily park your bicycle anywhere, but you insist on wasting resources, causing us to get fined for parking outside, is that it?"
"You son of a bitch!"
"If you're not using it, why don't you let someone who needs it use it!?"
"This isn't about you parking your bicycle, it's about you deliberately annoying us!"
Fortunately, the other residents were even more shameless than him and spoke up one after another, each filled with righteous indignation, as if Su Cheng had committed some unforgivable crime.
"Child, I know you've just entered society and there are some things you don't understand. We can empathize with that, but listen to auntie's advice."
At this moment, the middle-aged woman wore an expression of concern for Su Cheng and earnestly advised him: "You can park your bicycle in the corner of the parking lot. There's really no need to occupy a parking space. Just apologize and it'll be over. Be more mindful in the future."
At this point, everyone was coldly staring at Su Cheng.
Watching to see if he would compromise.
Especially yesterday's car owner, who wore an expectant expression. But what he didn't expect was that Su Cheng's face instead took on a disdainful look.
"The level of shamelessness in your words is enough to make history."
Su Cheng, with an impatient expression, pointed at the middle-aged woman's nose: "I'm talking about you, you old hag. Are you pretending to be a good person? I'm deliberately annoying you all, so what?"
He could only be more 'overbearing' than these people who were bullying him with their numbers.
"You..."
Hearing his words, everyone was stunned, not expecting Su Cheng to be so arrogant in the face of so many people.
"How can someone who looks so clean and proper say such things?"
"Call your parents. I want to see who raised you to be like this!"
The middle-aged woman directly rolled up her sleeves, ready to teach Su Cheng a lesson, but fortunately, she was held back by the people beside her.
"I'm talking about you, you filial dog!"
"And you, have you lived so long that you've become a dog?"
Su Cheng wasn't afraid at all, instead pointing at yesterday's car owner without mercy and saying: "Who do you think you are, bringing a few dogs over and thinking you can rely on them? Even elementary school kids don't play such stupid tricks!"
"Damn it, I must educate you properly today on behalf of your family, you little brat who doesn't understand the rules!"
The car owner exploded with anger, immediately rolling up his sleeves and rushing forward.
"Don't be rash!"
One of the men hurriedly stopped him.
"Look at the dog getting agitated. Do you think you alone can stop a full-grown dog?"
Su Cheng pointed at the young man who had stopped the car owner, hands on his hips, looking at him with disdain. Then he continued: "He just doesn't dare to come over, he's all talk. Let go of the leash, and see if this bully dares to come over!"
After saying this, Su Cheng directly launched into a tirade against the crowd: "Can't afford a parking space so you try every means to freeload off others. I'm truly ashamed for you all. You've lost all sense of shame. When you die, are you going to try to freeload a coffin too? Ptui."
Su Cheng's words could be said to have thoroughly insulted all of them. Filial, classic, agitated - truly brilliant.
Without a doubt, the three-character milestones of internet confrontation were equally effective in reality.
People like this generally have unsatisfactory lives, are radical, easily angered, and have formed a set of incorrect judgment standards.
So with Su Cheng's few sentences, the others also became furious, hurling abuse at Su Cheng.
They used the most offensive language they could think of, all kinds of vulgar words.
Especially that middle-aged woman, who tilted her head back and cursed, her voice hoarse and penetrating to the bone. As she cursed, she even started jumping up and down, just short of performing an exorcism to send Su Cheng away.
But still, no one dared to actually lay a hand on him.
Because once physical contact was made, the legal nature of the situation would change.
"What's wrong? Now that no one's holding you back, you want to make a move, you dog?"
Su Cheng raised his middle finger and beckoned to the car owner from yesterday, his face full of disdain.
"F***, you little brat, you're too arrogant. I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"
He was truly enraged, not caring about his image or demeanor anymore. All he wanted was to teach Su Cheng a lesson.
Seeing this, Su Cheng feigned fear and took several steps back. "I know you're in a hurry, but please don't. Let's talk this through."
Hearing this, the crowd thought he was backing down, and they all relaxed. The car owner stopped in his tracks, glaring at Su Cheng with fury.
"Apologize to us!"
"Now you're scared?"
"You must apologize and compensate!"
"Mental compensation fee!"
However, Su Cheng's next words shattered everyone's fantasies.
With one hand on his hip and the other pointing at the crowd, he looked down on them with an arrogant expression, enunciating each word clearly: "Listen to me, you're just a bunch of drama queens!"
…………………………
At the entrance of the apartment building,
Two girls dressed in heavy layers were constantly looking around. One of them, Xuan Ying, was full of doubts because they had seen Su Cheng go down to the parking lot a long time ago but hadn't come back up, and a large group of people were rushing to the parking lot.
"Why hasn't he come up yet?"
Xuan Ying, wearing a mask and a hat, was worried and couldn't help but ask Zhao Yan beside her.
Zhao Yan, similarly dressed, frowned slightly but didn't speak. She continued to wait, her expression still calm.
They had dressed like this to protect Su Cheng after learning he was going out in the morning. Although they had changed clothes, their noble aura was still evident, attracting frequent glances from passersby.
However, they paid no attention and just stood at the entrance waiting for Su Cheng.
At that moment, a voice came from the intercom in the security room: "There's a fierce conflict between owners in the parking lot due to parking space issues. Please send someone quickly."
Hearing this news, Xuan Ying and Zhao Yan were both stunned.
"A conflict between owners in the parking lot?"
Zhao Yan's face changed slightly, her heart skipping a beat.
The security personnel in the room rushed to the basement, leaving only an old man to guard the entrance.
"Let's hurry over!"
Xuan Ying immediately grabbed Zhao Yan's arm and, before the old man could react, they dashed towards the parking lot.
They ran quickly and soon arrived at the underground parking lot.
It being Saturday, they found a large crowd already gathered there, watching the commotion. Pushing through, they saw Su Cheng surrounded by a group of people shouting angrily, the scene extremely chaotic.
Seeing Su Cheng surrounded by so many people, Zhao Yan's face grew grim.
Fortunately, the property management and security arrived in time to separate the crowd, or Su Cheng would have definitely been at a disadvantage.
"What's going on here?"
Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying approached the onlookers and asked.
A young man, seeing two girls, immediately pointed inside and explained, "I just got out of my car and saw a group of people chasing and yelling at that boy. It seems the boy bought a parking space but only parked a bicycle, causing dissatisfaction among others."
"What does it matter to them what he parks in his own space?"
Xuan Ying's eyes widened in anger.
"Probably thinking he's young and easy to bully,"
The young man shook his head, showing his disdain for such behavior.
Seeing the group of people still cursing at Su Cheng even under the control of security and property management, the two girls felt a surge of anger.
Especially seeing Su Cheng standing there alone with his head down, it reminded them of the last time he was scolded.
Enduring the scolding silently, he was clearly a well-behaved, civilized child who didn't know how to fight back. This situation made them even more heartbroken, wanting to tear those people apart.
"Why should he be scolded when he's not wrong? Why doesn't he fight back?!"
Xuan Ying said indignantly, tears almost falling. She was about to rush forward to protect Su Cheng.
"Stay calm."
Zhao Yan quickly stopped Xuan Ying, urging, "Let's see how the property management handles it first."
"I can't calm down!"
Xuan Ying stomped her foot in frustration. She couldn't stand this, especially seeing Su Cheng's pitiful and helpless appearance, which only fueled her sense of justice.
She looked at Su Cheng's lonely back, her beautiful eyes filled with intense anger: "How can there be such disgusting people!"
Zhao Yan, seeing Xuan Ying's anger, also had a dark expression. She understood Xuan Ying's anger, but if they went out, not only would they expose their following of Su Cheng, but it would also be useless.
It was better to stay calm and think of a way to teach those people a lesson.
"I have a way to teach them a lesson!"
She took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and said calmly, then pulled Xuan Ying aside to watch the situation from a distance.
"What way?!"
"I noticed the property management and those scolding Su Cheng were exchanging glances. The handling method definitely won't favor Su Cheng. If we record it and send it to Wang Guancong, that should be enough."
Meanwhile, Su Cheng still stood there motionless, enduring the scolding without any reaction, as if he hadn't heard anything.
"Son, you see, why park just a bicycle? It's no wonder people dislike you,"
One of the leading property management staff sighed at Su Cheng: "Just apologize to them first. I promise they won't park in your space after you buy a car."
"So I have to apologize for parking my own things in my own space?"
"You can't say it like that, ignoring the facts..."
Before the property management could continue to persuade Su Cheng, he suddenly raised his head and nodded slightly.
Su Cheng had seen this person interact with the car owner from yesterday when he first arrived.
They had both glanced at their phones and exchanged looks when they met up close.
There was no doubt they were colluding.
Thinking of this, he beckoned for the property management to come closer.
Seeing this, the property management thought Su Cheng was shy and didn't want to say it in front of so many people, so he quickly leaned in.
Su Cheng then spoke slowly and clearly in his ear, "Go f*** yourself!"
Hearing this, the property management's face changed dramatically. He immediately looked around, realizing why those owners, who were clearly in the wrong, were so furious.
Who could stand that?!
