Chapter 10

From the heart of Yang Xinyuan, Yu Yue inquired about the time and place of the group of people who were trying to fight Ji Rang.

As soon as school was over, he went to class 2-2 to pick up Qi Ying. As a result, Yue Li took Qi Ying and said, “We’re going to go shopping at Silver Elephant City.”

Silver Elephant City was a bustling wholesale market in the early years. There were many kinds of cheap things, and it had evolved into a variety of small commodity streets. There were a series of low-end entertainment venues such as ktv, arcades, billard halls, etc., For a high school student, it was a go-to for shopping.

Alright, just walk that way. Anyway, there was more than an hour before the meet-up. Yu Yue followed them with his schoolbag. At the beginning, he only carried his bag on one shoulder. He didn’t know what happened but he became a hanger with three bags hanging from his body.

There was a lot of homework for weekends, the three bags were packed with textbooks and was heavy to death.

This shopping was just torture, it would be better to just have him run with such a heavy load.

Yue Li saw he was tired and kindly said, “Would you like to go to the tea shop and wait for us? If you go across the front, there’s a milk tea shop. We’ll stop there after a while.”

Yu Yue had been pardoned, “I’ll go!”

Three people cut through alley after alley.

There were many old houses nearby, the cables were tangled intricately, and they were full of sparrows pooping everywhere. Long bamboo poles stretched out of windows and brightly colored underwear fluttered in the wind.

There were so many alleys that if one didn’t pay attention, they would go in the wrong direction. Yue Li led the way and said, “Sister will invite you to drink milk tea.”

Yu Yue: “Dwarves aren’t qualified to call themselves big sister.”

Yue Li turned around and walked backwards, raising her middle finger at him: “You have offended me twice. Once, you scolded me for thick legs and now, scolded me for being short.”

Yu Yue: “…”

Was she so vengeful?

Talking as they rounded the corner, there stood six or seven people under the telephone poles in the deep alley.

One of them was lying face down on the ground and because the hair on the back of his head was being dragged by a squatting teenager, he had to raise his head slightly.

The squatting boy was still twitching his lips, and he seemed careless but his voice was dark: “The last time I warned you, if you entangled Lao Tzu again, it would more than just bleeding.”

He stood with his hands up, stepped on the face of the man with one foot, and asked in a low voice: “Remember?”

The man cried and nodded.

He smiled in satisfaction, raised his head, and saw the three people standing at the end of the alley.

His face suddenly changed.

Yue Li’s legs trembled a little and she said, “He… he won’t come to kill us right?”

Yu Yue: “…”

Yang Xinyuan, you unreliable thing! Said Zhang Daqing was leading someone to Ji Rang? What he saw was Ji Rang pressing Zhang Daqing on the ground!!!

but…

He tilted his head and looked at Qi Ying.

By accident, letting Qi Ying see Ji Rang’s bad side was also considered to be completed?

Don’t even need to think about it, seeing Ji Rang like that, he was also afraid.

Yue Li yanked his sleeves and almost cried: “He’s coming… he’s here… I can’t move. Oh my god, oh, my legs are so soft. Mom, sorry, daughter has to go one step ahead of you. Oh, oh…”

Yu Yue summoned his courage and stayed still.

Ji Rang walked in front of him.

His eyes moved and fell on Qi Ying who was standing quietly behind Yu Yue.

Did she see?

She saw it all. He was so fierce and bad.

She would be afraid of him too.

Fuck.

Yu Yue tried to straighten his waist but sadly found that he was still a few centimeters shorter than Ji Rang. He reached out to protect the two girls behind him, alertly: “What are you doing? We’re just passing by.”

Yue Li next to him nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: “Yes, yes, we didn’t see anything.”

The two looked at him like he was a murderer.

Qi Ying looked at him and smiled.

It was that joyful and gentle look every time she saw him.

In those crescent-like eyes, there was no fear or disgust like in his imagination. Nothing at all.

Yu Yue pulled Qi Ying in one hand and dragged Yue Li in the other, three bags hung on his body, and tried to run.

Ji Rang suddenly said, “Don’t go to this kind of place in the future.” He glanced at Yu Yue, his face expressionless, “It’s unsafe.”

The words fell away and he turned back. His fingers hooked and the group of fierce teenagers next to the telephone pole followed him obediently, leaving only Zhang Daqing who was still on the ground.

Yue Li’s legs were weak and she almost sat down. She asked Yu Yue, “Should we call the police?”

Yu Yue stared at Ji Rang’s back and slowly shook his head. “That person asked for it, let’s go.”

Coco Milk Tea Shop was across the alley.

When Yue Li arrived at the store, she was paralyzed, her legs so weak that Qi Ying had to accompany her and Yu Yue went to buy milk tea.

When he came back, he heard Yue Li crying and wailing: “How does Ying Ying look so calm? I was scared to death just now.”

Yu Yue also felt it was strange. After sitting down, he took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat to Qi Ying: Sister, aren’t you afraid?

Qi Ying bit a straw: What are you afraid of?

Yu Yue: Didn’t you see how Ji Rang hit that person just now? It was too brutal.

Qi Ying: Some has to give punishment for good and evil.

Yue Yue: ???

Wait, Sister, did you use the wrong idiom?

Qi Ying drank milk tea and thought, is it strange that you’re so afraid?

At the same age, the General had nothing but a training camp where people retired to after returning to Beijing. During this time, people in Beijing would shudder and detour when they saw him.

It wasn’t until he led the army again that many unscrupulous uncles finally dared to take to the streets.

She heard that there were still people waiting for the General to set off firecrackers at the door of her home to celebrate.

*I think this means that he was really fierce in training so people were scared of him and didn’t dare to fool around under he had gone off to war.

Yu Yue who was poking at a pearl with his straw was inexplicably glanced at by his sister.

After this episode, Yue Li had no intention to go shopping, and took a taxi after saying goodbye at the intersection. Yu Yue originally planned to lead Qi Ying to take the bus. His hands itched when they passed the billiards hall.

Since school was over for the day, the billiard hall was very lively. Many people with good skills would show at this time. Yu Yue’s billiards was learned from these people.

But most of them were boys, dirty. He looked around. There was an exquisitely decorated cafe downstairs. He took Qi Ying over and asked for her favorite strawberry ice cream.

Sent WeChat: Sister, I’m going to play pool. Wait for me.

Qi Ying nodded.

Yu Yue threw his schoolbag to her and ran away.

Qi Ying obediently sat and ate ice cream. There was no one in the cafe and the clerk only thought that she was an ordinary customer. She was bored, sitting at the bar and playing with her mobile phone waiting for the next costumer to enter the store.

After a while, two girls came in laughing.

One of them saw Qi Ying and elbowed the one next to her.

He Jing followed the signal and smiled.

The two looked at each other and He Jing took out her mobile phone and set a text to Xue Manqing. She soon received a reply: Bring her over.

He Jing walked in front of Qi Ying with a three-point smile on her face and handed her the screen: Classmate Qi Ying, I belong to the class next door to you. We have a few classmates playing in the ktv next door and invite you to come.

After reading the content, Qi Ying looked at her face and shook her head. She was wary, not as easily deceived as she seemed.

He Jing looked at her for a long time, stopped smiling, and suddenly reached out to take the two schoolbags resting on the sofa. Then, she turned around and went out.

Qi Ying was startled, shouting silently, saw her go out the door and could only try to catch up.

He Jing and her companion walked fast with the schoolbags. Qi Ying chased after them for a long time but still couldn’t catch up. She stopped and took out her mobile phone to send Yu Yue a message: Our schoolbags were snatched!

He Jing saw her stop and shook the schoolbags with a smile, meaning, you don’t want them?

She took two steps forward and He Jing ran two more steps.

Qi Ying was about to cry.

He Jing smiled and said, “Doesn’t it look like we’re walking a dog?”

As soon as her voice fell, her arm was twisted back and almost dislocated, and the schoolbag was snatched away. The two screamed and looked back to see Ji Rang behind him, their cries were stuck in their throats.

He wore a white t-shirt with the blood of other people stained on the edges, standing there with a schoolbag in each hand, his lips still hooked up and asked them “very nicely”: “What?”

He Jing was so scared that she couldn’t say anything.

After a long time, she stammered and explained, “We… fun…”

Ji Rang didn’t speak, just looked at her coldly.

He Jing burst into tears, “We were helping the new classmate carry her schoolbag… the bag was too heavy, we were helping her… ”

Ji Rang finally said: “The schoolbags are full of homework. Since you like it so much, you might as well do all the homework you grabbed.”

He set the two schoolbags on the white porcelain flower bed next to him, and coldly ordered: “Open.”

He Jing and her companion did not dare to hesitate and walked forward without hesitation, squatting down to open the schoolbag.

Haicheng No. 1 High School required students to use a special notebook to record weekly homework. Qi Ying and Yu Yue’s homework notebooks were in the outermost pocket.

He Ying took out Qi Ying’s test papers that were supposed to be done over the weekend and heard Ji Rang say, “Squat here, finish writing.”

They didn’t dare to not listen, took out their pens and books, crouched beside the flower bed and cried while writing.

Ji Rang said, “No question is allowed to be wrong.”

They cried even harder.

He turned around and Qi Ying stood obediently behind him. The redness in her eyes had not faded and it was strangely distressing. He glanced left and right, no sleeved, so he passed her the corner of his clothing, slightly raised his chin and said, “I’ll take you to eat.”

Qi Ying obediently followed.

Around the corned was a dessert shop. He bought her a box of strawberry pudding and sat down opposite her.

Qi Ying hadn’t eaten pudding before. She took a a bite, sweet and glutinous, and it melted in her mouth. She took a glance at Ji Rang and took another bite.

Ji Rang supposed his chin with one hand and asked quietly, “Why did your brother throw you away again?”

She pushed the pudding towards him a little and her big, beautiful eyes blinked.

He laughed: “I don’t like sweets.”

But her sweetness was difficult to refuse.

He picked up the spoon next to him and dug a piece into his mouth.

Qi Ying looked at him with anticipation.

Ji Rang: Why is this so sweet?

Then Qi Ying nodded.

She laughed happily.

After eating the dessert, the two returned to the place where they left the schoolbags. He Jing and her friend were still squatting there. They didn’t dare to get up. When they saw him coming back, He Jing voiced out a cry and whispered: “Can we go now?”

Ji Rang whispered: “You are not allowed to leave until you finish writing.”

The tears that He Jing had stopped suddenly shed again: “My math scores are bad, I can’t do this math homework…”
