"You won't leave until I tell her?" That was quite the devotion to this weird endeavour. Xue Yang snorted, then just shrugged. "Okay then. You can come with me until I tell the girl."
He didn't have Mei's number, as far as he knew. Whatever. He could just bide his time a bit and watch Meng Yao some more. It was fascinating. "I've gotta say, you're so different than I thought you were. Always figured you'd just end up some pathetic corporate slave, but look at you now. You've got balls."
Not that he could literally see them. Only one of them was naked.
"Okay. Tonight. We're going to find her." Meng Yao reluctantly relinquished the clothes and held them out to Xue Yang, his face going red because he was looking at another man's giant dick. He didn't want to but it was right there. He had never seen another guys dick people. Not for this long and this much.
He let Xue Yang take his clothes and pointedly looked away. "Of course you did. You don't think much of me but what you do think isn't nice, is it? I'm just a weirdo pervert that's too scared to tell you that you're a jerk. Even though you are a jerk."
And he wasn't scared this time. He could finally say it. He didn't have to smile politely and cower when they beat him up to try and appease them. It was his dream. "Your friends suck too."
"M-hm. I am a jerk." Xue Yang didn't argue the point. They obviously were. He put on his underwear, then the shirt. Then he ran his fingers through his hair, making a face. He glanced at the mirror, wishing his hair was longer. He couldn't wait to not have to adhere to the school's rules for his appearance any more.
"And my friends do suck." He didn't disagree with that either. "But, yeah, I figured you're scared. But you are scared of nothing today, are you? Maybe I should take you to a doctor."
"I am scared, I just want justice more. I don't want to get beat up but I want the truth to be known." He shoved his hands in his pockets and waited for Xue Yang to be fully dressed - he looked so different right how. He was younger, he had shorter hair and less earrings. It didn't make him seem softer though, he was still an intimidating jerk. "There's very little justice in the world or you'd be unhappy too."
That's how it felt when he had to slave away for his father while Xue Yang lazed around making tons of a bunch of likely cheap, crappy knives. "Are you ready to go find her?"
"There's absolutely no justice in the world. You've just gotta make sure that you make it fair for yourself." That was how he dealt with it, anyway. He didn't exactly look happy for a moment there, as he finished dressing himself, a deep frown on his face that he wasn't aware of. By the time he had straightened up to look at Meng Yao again, he had forgotten what they'd even been talking about. "Huh. Find who?"
"Mei! We're going to find Mei, you jerk. Come on!" Meng Yao huffed and grabbed Xue Yang by the arm, pulling him along with him. He didn't have her number and he didn't know where she was but it wasn't his job to work this out. It was Xue Yang's job. "You have to find here, you're closer to her so you'll know where she is."
Meng Yao didn't. He had no clue where any of the kids at this school went to have fun. He always went home to his little apartment and studied. He graduated with amazing grades - not that it mattered. "Where do the other kids... go?"
"'The other kids'?" Xue Yang mimicked him, clearly amused. "How old are you, grandpa?"
He chuckled and walked with Meng Yao, letting himself get dragged along willingly. He was curious to see where this would go, after all. More and more of Meng Yao's personality was coming through and it was deeply entertaining. "We can go to the coffeeshop, the girls like that one. The one with the hot boys."
He knew all about that. "Mei might go there after school. Loads of the girls do."
"Fine, we'll go have coffee or whatever." He usually didn't have money for that sort of thing but for once, he had cash in his pocket. His father wasn't underpaying him yet and he had a rich brother so life was not so bad. He quite liked this dream. "I don't know what people do. I never went out after school. I came to school, I studied and then I went home and studied more. I had to have at least 90% on every exam on my final scores or my father wouldn't take me for a job."
He exhaled tiredly and let go of Xue Yang as they headed for the exit. "I wasted my youth." He had worked through his teenager years just to do it again as an adult.
