CH 5

Zhou Kai is like a toy with its battery unplugged. The card machine is in place on the spot.

He covered the back of his head and just opened his mouth.

Those who play basketball with Lu Xiao are basically from the school basketball team.

A group of burly boys gathered around and surrounded Zhou Kai with five other people.

Zhou Kai was visibly embarrassed and stammered, “Xiao, Brother Xiao … how can you …”

He retreated with a conditioned reflex, but he bumped into Jiang Jin who came forward.

Lu Xiao put the basketball on his index finger and casually turned it twice, just like playing.

The tone of voice is calm and unassuming. “When did this become your territory?”

Jiang Jin jostled him with his shoulder, with a fierce expression: “You don’t exist as a fucking brother and you are collecting protection money from people in our class? Is your brain stuck with shit?”

Ye Cheng was stunned. He hadn’t told anyone about this, but somehow it spread.

In fact, it can be seen from the melon group that the Thirteen High School gang has a strong sense of territory.

On the face of issue, these people didn’t want to help him, they just didn’t want to give up.

“Brother Xiao, Brother Jin, this is really none of my business, not my idea!” Zhou Kai hurriedly defended.

That attitude is completely different from his actions just now.

Lu Xiao casually threw the basketball to the person behind him and walked in front of him.

He was nearly half a head taller than Zhou Kai, and looked at him condescendingly, like he was looking at an ant.

Zhou Kai’s calf trembled uncontrollably, his face twisted.

“If it’s not your idea, then it’s Zhang Qi’s.” Lu Xiao sneered, “Tell Zhang Qi come to me by himself, and don’t do something fucking stealthily. Next time I meet you, I’ll break your dog leg first. ”

Ye Cheng’s eyelids jumped twice quickly.

Zhou Kai shivered and said, “I,I know. Brother Xiao, if there’s nothing else … I’ll go first.”

He was eager to get away, but he was held on his shoulder.

“Stop.”

Lu Xiao’s malicious voice directly made his legs soft.

“… Brother Xiao, is there anything else?” Zhou Kai looked back with nervousness, and his expression almost collapsed.

Lu Xiao picked his eyebrows. “How are you going to pay me back for the last punch?”

Ye Cheng’s heart thumped.

Sure enough, he knew that this man’s vengeful spirit would be rewarded.

In the past, Lu Xiao was tricked by his partner once, but later he gave him a serial conspiracy, forcing the man to almost jump off the building.

He eats fast and recites Buddha on weekdays, and Ye Cheng has repeatedly advised him to control his temper.

At that time, however, Ye Cheng was carried away by feelings, and always helped him to put in a good word and cover in front of the old man.

Until one time, the opposite family was in a hurry and asked someone to hit their car on the highway.

After that, Lu Xiao finally calmed down.

It turns out that his violent temper is traceable, and he has been so violent since he was a child.

Zhou Kai was about to cry, he begged for mercy with his hands folded. “I apologize. I really didn’t mean it. It won’t happen again …”

Jiang Jin and the others bursted out laughing.

“If apologizing is useful, what is the use of the police? You beat Brother Xiao and ran away without saying a word. Now you think of apologizing? I can go to your mother to force it. ”

Lu Xiao made a sign, and everyone was quiet.

“I’m too lazy to fight you.” He raised his lips and Zhou Kai’s eyes lit up.

But then, he couldn’t laugh.

“Well, stand in the middle of the playground with this basketball, and stand until school is over.”

Everyone laughed wildly, and Jiang Jin booed and whistled.

This afternoon, there were several joint classes in physical education class. Zhou Kai stood on the playground with the ball, which undoubtedly made him lose face in the science class.

Five people behind him looked at each other, which was worse than beating him up.

Sudden humiliation made Zhou Kai clenched his fist and his eyes trembled with red.

Jiang Jin patted him on the face and said, “Isn’t it arrogant to collect protection money? Let your master take it out on you.”

Lu Xiao said coldly, “If you don’t obey, you know what the consequences will be.”

Zhou Kai’s pupils tightened, as if thinking of something even more terrible.

A few seconds later, he hung his head and picked up the basketball thrown on the ground, drooped his shoulders, turned and walked towards the playground.

“Hahaha, trash, a bunch of cowards.”

“That’s it, do you still want to rule No. 13 High School?You don’t even ask who your father is.”

[T/N:Calling yourself someone’s father or grandfather is being arrogant or belittling someone.]

A group of people made a noise and left in droves.

Lu Xiao passed by Ye Cheng with his hands in his pocket, and was stopped when he was about to walk past.

Ye Cheng looked at him and said, “Thanks.”

Lu Xiao didn’t say a few words to him at all, at most he was a classmate who he was acquainted with. He didn’t even know where Ye Cheng came from.

He nodded at random and started to go.

Ye Cheng added, “Can you, not fight with that Zhang Qi?”

Lu Xiao looked sideways at him, Ye Cheng was about the height of his eyebrows. When they stood face to face, they could basically look at each other head-on.

The person in front of him had the tone of a proud and good student, and lectured him in a straight-forward manner.

This posture is not like thanking him, but like looking for something.

Lu Xiao felt extremely ridiculous, and even laughed angrily: “It’s none of your business.”

He looked at Ye Cheng badly and strode away.

Ye Cheng couldn’t help thinking, Shit, he’s really rebellious.

It’s difficult.

After the physical education class, Ye Cheng was called to the office by Xu Chao.

At first, he thought it was something that had spread to the teacher, but it turned out that Xu Chao just asked him to find someone to publish the blackboard newspaper together.

“This issue of blackboard newspaper is going to participate in the selection. You’d better get it out today.” Xu Chao said, “I think your handwriting is very beautiful. Have you practiced calligraphy?”

Ye Cheng nod absently: “I studied for several years when I was a child.”

Xu Chao patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, and said, “That’s very kind of you. Ask Jiang Jin to join you. He is an art student studying fine arts, and the two of you will get it done soon.”

The last class in the afternoon was a computer class. The two of them took the privilege from Xu Chao and stayed in the classroom to publish a blackboard newspaper.

Jiang Jin was very keen on skipping classes and happily brought paints and brushes.

While drawing the first draft on the paper, he chatted with Ye Cheng: “I didn’t notice before but you are quite capable in fighting. I heard that you knocked Zhu Kai’s heels over in the toilet.”

Ye Cheng took out his glasses from his school bag and put them on. He is nearsighted for more than 100 degrees, and he basically doesn’t need to wear glasses at ordinary times.

For the convenience of writing chalk words and reading manuscripts later, he put them on in advance.

He replied casually, “Fighting is not the only way to measure ability, nor can it solve any contradictions.”

Jiang Jin sneered disapprovingly, “You’re staying here to take care of politics and governance. I thought you were bloody, but you replied like you came out of the monastery.”

Ye Cheng snorted softly: “If you are really kind to Lu Xiao, you should persuade him not to fight with Zhang Qi.”

He thought Jiang Jin would be dismissive, but he saw him put down his pen and said with a straight face, “What do you know? Don’t speak if you don’t know, ok?”

If someone else talks to him in this way, Ye Cheng probably won’t bother him again.

But he was a little curious. What’s the position of Zhang Qi?

“Then you give me some more information?” he said to Jiang Jin.

Jiang Jin looked at him warily: “Why, do you care so much, do you want to join us? However, you are really good at fighting, and tough enough when things happen. No wonder Brother Xiao didn’t embarrass you. ”

Ye Cheng suddenly had an idea.

Perhaps, the best way to defuse the enemy is to integrate into the enemy.

He tried to pose as a senior high school student and seriously asked, “Do you still accept people? Do you have to pay the protection fee first?”

Jiang Jin choked, coughed and said, “What the hell, you think we are Lao Qi’s group? Brother Xiao doesn’t charge protection money.”

“How can I join?” Ye Cheng asks persistently.

Jiang Jin got stuck on the question for a while, he scratched his hair and simply showed his cards on the table: “What do you want?” I don’t think you are a person who likes to mix with society. ”

Ye Cheng put the back of his hand against his chin and said frankly, “I want to know more about your little brother Xiao, and I’m curious about what’s wrong with him and Zhang Qi.”

Jiang Jin’s cheeks twitched, he always felt something was strange about the first half of his sentence .

“Do you want to know this? In fact,it is not a secret.”

After hesitating for a moment, he said, “Brother Xiao used to have a very good friend who was a boring person. Later, he was bullied by Zhang Qi and Zhou Kai, and he couldn’t stand it and then transferred.”

He paused, and then said, “When I was in Grade One, Zhang Qi and others were so crazy that they even collected the protection money for Grade Three, and some people dropped out of school. Later, after the stuffy person left, Brother Xiao became completely angry, and Zhang Qi was beaten to lie in the hospital for two months. Since then, everyone has started to call him first brother. ”

“Do you know why they are all afraid of Brother Xiao, but no one told the teacher that he was not good? Because without Brother Xiao, No.13 High School would be messy. ” Jiang Jin said seriously.

The current Siyuan Building is divided into Building 1 and Building 2. Building 1 is Zhang Qi’s site, and Building 2 is covered by Lu Xiao

Ye Cheng listened quietly. As he said, Lu Xiao was very popular in the class.

Whether it’s the United school grass voting , voting for him, or physical education class, everyone obeys him, you can see it.

Many people are afraid of him, and many like him.

It turns out that there are so many love-hate relationships in Lu Xiao’s life that he never participated in.

He vaguely remembers Lu Xiao mentioning that he knew a brother who studied very well in high school. He could have helped him make up his lessons, but he later transferred to another school.

Lu Xiao was joking at that time, saying that if only the buddy didn’t leave, maybe he could be admitted to a university with him. Then, he will catch up with Ye Cheng in college.

Ye Cheng thinks he’s bragging, mocking that even if he concentrates on studying, he can’t be admitted to A University, so he should just try in the next life.

Now he has heard these “past events” with his own ears, and unconsciously, he has a strange feeling.

While speaking, a figure came in through the back door.

Jiang Jin looked over and almost didn’t bite off his tongue.

Speaking of the devil, Lu Xiao lazily walked into the classroom, glanced at them and threw the computer book on the table.

“Brother Xiao … aren’t you going to class?” Jiang Jin said something about him behind his back and looked at him guiltily.

Lu Xiao leaned back in the chair, he rubbed his neck and said, “I’m so bored.”

Jiang Jin shrugged his shoulders and agreed, “It’s quite boring, and you can’t play games.”

After a while, he put the finished manuscript on the back table and began to publish the blackboard newspaper with Ye Cheng.

Two people standing on the chair, first draw a line with chalk, and then dip the paint with a brush.

Because of the large area to be painted, Ye Cheng also picked up the brush to help him paint.

Jiang Jin has the bottom line of art students. He would rather get dirty than make his paintings dirty.

Then twenty minutes later, their hands were covered with colorful pigments, and the whole table was ruined.

Lu Xiao sat across the chair in reverse, facing them playing games with switch.

From time to time, he looks up and comments on Jiang Jin’s paintings, where the chroma is not enough and where the shadow is too heavy.

Jiang Jin took a breath, jumped down from the chair and said to Ye Cheng, “I’m going to change the basin of water, and you can paint it first.”

As soon as he left, Lu Xiao stopped talking and played games quietly.

Ye Cheng painted with his back to him, and neither of them paid attention to anyone.

Outside the window, the unknown fragrance of flowers floated up and down in the empty seats, turning the pages from time to time with the breeze.

Ye Cheng suddenly turned around and said, “Lu Xiao, can you help me with my glasses?”

He called himself by his first name for the first time, which was quite bold.

The lips pouted slightly, the tip of the tongue pressed against the upper jaw, and two unfamiliar words easily slipped out of the throat.

It was like something practiced for thousands of times , he even though it felt a little too natural.

Lu Xiao raised his eyes and saw his silver-rimmed glasses hanging on the upturned tip of the nose, which was about to fall down.

He frowned for a while and grumpily said, “Are we familiar?”

It’s not that Lu Xiao is unreasonable, but that he really doesn’t understand what’s wrong with this transfer student.

He has only met him a few times, but every time he speaks in a tone that he has known for 800 years.

Besides, he always makes some demands that he thinks are a little out of line.

He looks careless on the surface, but he actually rejects physical contact with strangers.

Not to mention pushing glasses, it sounds like it’s going to be “intimate”.

Ye Cheng has paint in his hands. In order to keep the glasses from falling off, he can only slightly raise her head without looking at Lu Xiao.

He answered honestly, “Not familiar.”

At least, I don’t know him well at the age of seventeen.

From Lu Xiao’s point of view, he just faced his delicate chin and a small raised Adam’s apple.

Because of the upward movement, Ye Orange’s lips are slightly open and you can vaguely catch a glimpse of the tongue tip that flashes by.

Lu Xiao suddenly felt breathless, and impatiently replied, “Are you challenging my patience?”

He doesn’t quite understand the throbbing feeling from this image, but he just feels that he wants to beat this transfer student.

Too annoying.

Ye Cheng’s face is sweating, and his glasses are slipping more and more.

He said motionless, “No.”

Lu Xiao: “… then don’t say a word”

Ye Cheng said helplessly, “But my glasses are about to fall off.”

His voice was somewhat anxious and aggrieved.

But it might just be an illusion, and he probably won’t feel anxious and aggrieved.

However, this sentence was like a soft thorn attached to a rose vine, and it scratched Lu Xiao’s chest.

He was silent for a moment, and finally stood up and walked towards Ye Cheng with a grumpy face.

The author has something to say:

First Brother: No one has ever made such a request to me. Your mother is ridiculous. This transfer student is seriously ill.
