Chapter 57: Just passing through.
Hu Pang's plan to patrol the building was stopped by Zuo Kuan's voice, and because he saved half of the young couples, Zuo Kuan became known as the "Moon Warrior" in the South City Seven Schools.
Zhu Xu, as a token of his gratitude, managed to feed him breakfast for a week.
Of course, he paid for it. Hu Pang took him to task for all the infractions he had committed, gave him a demerit, and ordered him to write a 3,000-word review to be read at next week's flag-raising ceremony.
And so on Monday, Zuo Kuan's deliberately drawn-out tones rang through the school--
"...... So I review, I shouldn't have skipped class, shouldn't have smoked in school, and even more shouldn't have yelled at Director Hu when he was arresting people," spilled over two thousand words, Zuo Kuan winked, and the words changed, "but I I don't think Director Hu should have pinched my ear either, that kind of twisting honestly hurts quite a bit and makes me lose face. I was planning to get my ears pierced last weekend, but in the end I didn't make it-"
There was a short, sharp murmur from the stereo, and then the Zuo Kuan microphone was turned off, and Hu Pang touched the top of his head and stormed up to the podium in a rage.
Hu Pang has been teaching for many years, and his voice is so thick that he can be heard without a microphone: "Why do you have your ears pierced as a big boy? Do you want to be penalized?"
Zuo Kuan : "Come on! It's cooler for guys to fight!"
The sleepy fishing students under the podium froze for a moment, then let out a burst of laughter.
Wang Luan laughed his ass off, "Damn, why is he so flirty. Is he really going to get his ears pierced or is he saying it on purpose to piss off Fat Tiger?"
Yu Fan lowered his head and yawned, exuding a strong sense of sleepiness, "I don't know."
"Hey, you didn't see the situation at that time, it was too funny. Zuo Kuan saw that you have not been back, so I wanted to go to find you a smoke, but the result of the two of us just slipped out of the playground to see the fat tiger with people sneaking towards the experimental building. Zuo Kuan saw that the situation was not right and roared before Fat Tiger went upstairs, directly scaring Fat Tiger to the point of shaking hahahahaha!"
Speaking of that day, Wang Luan remembered something and asked, "But where did you go to smoke that night? Zuo Kuan and I waited in the classroom for half a day but didn't see you come back, and Zhu Xu said you were with the school bully?"
Yu Fan 揣在兜里的手指蜷了一下,眼底瞬间清明了点,过了两秒才开口:"......随便找了一个角落,抽完出来撞上了。"
"Oh, that's a shame, didn't get to see that wonderful scene." Wang Luan was too focused on watching Zuo Kuan get yelled at on stage to notice his brother's obvious discomfort at the moment, and turned his head back when he finished.
All three grades were gathered in the playground, standing naturally crowded with basically half a step between each one.
Yu Fan smelled the light minty flavor in the back, and thought slowly, Average.
It's not a shame either.
When his shoulder was slapped coldly, Yu Fan raised his eyelids and turned his head, subconsciously glancing at the person behind him first, and then paused after meeting Chen Jingshen's eyes, before inclining his head to look at Zhuang Fangqin, who had given him a slap in the face.
"Stand up straight and see what your posture looks like. Stick your hands out of your pockets." Zhuang Fangqin wrinkled his eyebrows and whispered, "Can't you learn from other people's Chen Jingshen?"
Zhuang Fangqin had already prepared to be talked back to after he said that, but I didn't expect Yu Fan to be silent, skimming back his face and standing up straight lazily.
She was frozen, when the Class 8 teacher leaned toward her, "Alright Mr. Zhuang, Yu Fan has been doing so well lately, standing crooked is fine, much better than the one in my class who stood up on the podium."
Zhuang Fangqin laughed a little, "I heard Zuo Kuan gave Director Hu a fright last week?"
The two chatted in whispers. The other shrugged and said, "Who knows, I wasn't there either. By the way, I heard that the director arrested two pairs of early lovers that night, were there any from your class?"
Zhuang Fangqin said, "No."
"We don't have any in our class either, I guess they've run away. Why don't you tell me, the director made too big a fuss that night, and it's not necessary to go to so much trouble to catch early love. At this age, children's hearts are so restless that they can't even be pushed down, I can tell at a glance." The other party said slowly.
"The ones who help with homework, the two who wander the school paths after class when there's nothing else to do, the ones who help carry books and chairs, the ones who pass little notes in class ...... It's so obvious."
The flag-raising was over and the team was dismissed. It wasn't until they were back in the classroom, with all eyes on the blackboard and the physics teacher, that Yu Fan stretched his chin and counted in his head.
Grass, that was close, almost got it all ......
His arm was suddenly poked by a pen, and Yu Fan's eyes rolled around as his deskmate pressed something under his pen-clamped fingers and pushed it to the edge of his desk without a word.
The hand loosened, revealing the small note underneath.
Yu Fan was expressionlessly confused for a moment.
He stared at the neatly folded note at the edges for a moment, then looked up at the cold face of his tablemate, and repeated the process three times before taking the small note into his hands.
"......" Well, hit them all.
Yu Fan opened the note with a taut face.
"Let's go to the movies this weekend?"
Chen Jingshen was looking down to memorize a wrong question when the note briefly flew through the air, smashing against his thumb before falling next to the tip of his pen.
He unwrapped it, a clean note already oohed and ahhed by his boyfriend -
"What kind of note are you passing sitting right next to me with no mouth?" After writing it, it was rudely scratched out, just not cleanly, barely recognizable.
"Don't pass me notes." Ditto.
"What movie?" Ditto.
At the end of the day, underneath the myriad of messy scratches, all that was left was a sketchy, jumbled, "Oh"
-
The temperature in the South City is pushing 40 degrees these days. Yu Fan doesn't like to turn on the fan when she sleeps and wakes up with a thin sweat on her forehead.
So at noon on Saturday, Yu Fan woke up and took a shower, then wiped her hair and stood at her desk scrolling through her cell phone messages.
There was a lot of chatting in the WeChat discussion group as usual, and when he clicked on it, he saw Wang Luan matching answers with others.
Final exams are scheduled for the seventh of next month, and they just took their last monthly exam of the semester yesterday.
Wang Luan: What? I don't believe it! I don't believe you!
[Zhang Xianjing: Do you think the school bully will pay attention to you?]
Zhang Xianjing: Give up, I just asked Baby Ting, she chose C like me.
Wang Luan: What did Yu Fan pick?
[Zhu Xu : ...... In my lifetime I can actually see people asking Yu Fan what answers to choose for the exam. [Bunny a few surprised jpg]]
Zuo Kuan: Zhu Xu, don't post your girlfriend's fucking emoticons, they don't suit you.
Zuo Kuan: You group of seven classes almost have to, learning a fart of Xi, the group's atmosphere are going to be brought down by you. Come out and play billiards. All of you.
[s: C.]
Seeing Chen Jingshen's avatar appear in the group, Yu Fan slowed down the movement of rubbing his hair. The next second, a private chat message popped up on his WeChat.
[s: Watch this? [pics]]
Yu Fan clicked on the movie's opening time and replied "Oh" without even looking at the title.
After negotiating a meeting time with Chen Jingshen, Yu Fan threw away his towel and went to sit on the balcony to dry his hair.
Yu Fan sits in the hot afternoon air and wonders if this counts as a date.
He leaned against the security fence and scratched and tapped at his phone screen half a dozen times, but he still couldn't resist tapping into the search engine and hammering out the words - What should I look for in a movie with my boyfriend?
...... I have a disease? What's so noteworthy about watching a movie? It's not just sitting side by side watching the screen, how is it any different than a class.
Yu Fan coldly cursed himself twice, but still clicked in to read it.
When he saw "The surveillance cameras in the movie theater can see very clearly, don't make love to your boyfriend in the movie theater", Yu Fan subconsciously touched the cigarette case next to him, and then after a pause, he looked for a stick of chewing gum and threw it into his mouth.
The final exam is coming soon, these days the teachers of various subjects send down a lot of papers, you have to stay up until one o'clock in the middle of the night to finish writing. Coupled with the monthly exams, he hasn't spent much time alone with Chen Jingshen this week.
Not even in the movie theater.
Yu Fan Fan thought idly and continued to scratch down the page, and after reading a large paragraph of nonsense, the concluding words of this post were, "Finally, be careful not to get lipstick on your teeth, and it's best to wear nice clothes~"
Yu Fan frowned in confusion before realizing that she had searched for "boyfriend" and that the respondent had defaulted to a woman.
Grass ...... white dry.
Drying his hair, Yu Fan went inside, picked out an outfit from his pathetically empty closet, and headed out the door with his gum.
There were not many people on the bus at noon. Yu Fan sat alone in the last row by the window, playing with his cell phone with his legs open.
He opened Chen Jingshen's dialog box and took another look at the ticket purchase chart that he hadn't looked at closely earlier.
The movie starts at 3:00 p.m. Now it's 1:40, almost. He went over to play Snake for a while and broke Chen Jingshen's highest record first.
The movie is called Summer, the Full Moon and You, and it premiered today, with a poster featuring Yu Fan, a familiar but unnamed star who is supposed to be quite popular.
The seats are in the couples' room, seats 520A, 520B--
"......"
[-:?
[s:?
Who the fuck allowed you to buy a couple--
Yu Fan typed out these words and silently deleted them.
Oh, he's in a relationship with Chen Jingshen.
Yu Fan typed with a wooden face: [What do you want to eat? Popcorn or cool potatoes.
Chen Jingshen bought the movie tickets, and of course he came for the food.
[s: Coconut chicken soup.]
[-: I'll set a table for you inside?]
[S: Watch and go eat.]
[-: ...... Oh.]
When we got off the bus, Yu Fan was still searching for a store nearby that had coconut chicken soup.
He picked a store with the highest praise, cut a screen, clicked on WeChat just to send Chen Jingshen, Wang Luan's phone suddenly came in.
WeChat has a voice function, and Wang Luan seldom makes serious phone calls to him.
Yu Fan's eyelids jumped, stopping his march into the mall to pick up--
"Yu Fan, where are you? There's something fucking wrong!!!" Wang Luan's voice was heavy and urgent, as anxious as Yu Fan had been when he'd been blocked by the guys from the next school with knives, "Zuo Kuan got surrounded by a dozen or so fucking guys at the pool hall!!!"
-
Before Chen Jingshen went out, Fanfan circled around him countless times.
He hooked his fingers in Fanfan's collar and moved him back a little, sitting down on a stone bench in the small garden to consult with him, "I'll ask Auntie to come and take you out later."
Fanfan, obviously reluctant, whimpered pitifully towards him.
"I don't have time to accompany you today." Chen Jingshen patted its face and said, "Be good."
After calming the dog, Chen Jingshen was just about to get up when his cell phone suddenly rang.
[-: Something came up and I couldn't go, next time.]
Chen Jingshen His eyes lingered on the screen for a moment before he sat back and typed, [What is it?
The opposite side tapped and typed for almost ten minutes.
[-: Little sister upstairs at home alone, afraid.]
[s: When is the next time.]
Another few minutes passed.
[-: Anything but today.]
[s: tomorrow?
The old little park behind the pool hall was a chaotic scene of two dozen boys fighting.
Yu Fan Maki threw the man's collar against the wall, elbowed him hard against the other's back, and held up his cell phone in the other side of a pained scream and hurriedly returned a "good" word.
Zuo Kuan asked Wang Luan to come to the pool hall to play today. The guy at the next table was bored and asked him to bet on two games.
Zuo Kuan This person can't study, but all the things he doesn't do are played very well, the other party lost him a lot of games in a row, a little bit annoyed, and said a few words of shade when he gave the money.
Zuo Kuan where to swallow this breath, open mouth is a "people vegetables addiction", think about adding a "vegetable dog do not bark", and finally add a "can not afford to play roll".
Wang Luan saw the situation and quickly called for someone.
Zhu Xu had brought a team of gym students with him, and Yu Fan met up with them when they arrived. By the time they arrived at the park, Zuo Kuan and Wang Luan, the two idiots, had already gotten their asses kicked.
After they arrived, the situation was immediately reversed. Although the other side has more people, but this side is full of seventeen and eighteen year old sports students, the only one who is not a sports student is also a thief can fight, after ten minutes or so, the gang turned and ran.
Zuo Kuan, with his face full of wounds, as if he were an emperor in triumph, waved his hand and said he would treat everyone to milk tea.
In the milk tea store. Zuo Kuan crosses his legs and curses, "What the fuck, when he can't afford to lose at the end, he says I've committed a foul, and he's got a bad taste in his mouth, can I put up with him?"
"Big brother, can you look at the situation? There were only two of us!" Wang Luan said.
Zuo Kuan Innocent said, "...... So I can know he's got a dozen brothers sitting outside?"
Wang Luan, who was kicked in the calf and is still in pain, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, consider myself unlucky to see the news of your group's ball date on this fine Saturday."
"......"
Wang Luan Yu Guang glanced over and saw another brother beside him sitting leaning against the wall, cold-faced and holding his cell phone, wondering what he was fuming about.
"Yu Fan, are you hurt anywhere?" Wang Luan asked.
Yu Fan shook his head.
The pool hall gang just relied on their numbers to hold up the floor, and shouldn't usually fight much, barely touching him. If I had to say, the side of his face hurt a bit.
"Is there a mirror?" Yu Fan asked, glancing over.
Wang Luan froze, "No. Do you want the front camera of your cell phone? I'll hold it up for you."
Half a minute later, Yu Fan looked at the two scrapes on his face and mentally cursed.
What's the point of hitting a guy in the face?
Can we still go tomorrow? If he says he fell, will Chen Jingshen believe him.
What's Chen Jingshen doing now? Watching a movie? Or did you return the ticket?
Seeing his face getting more and more sullen, Wang Luan immediately consoled him, "It's fine, it's nothing compared to your previous injuries, you'll be fine in a week."
Yu Fan, distracted by what he was hearing, leaned back, "Shut up."
Zuo Kuan went to buy a few packs of cigarettes and gave one to each person. Yu Fan didn't take it, but took a stick of gum out of his pocket and threw it into his mouth, chewing hard.
The boys complimented each other on the wonderful maneuvers they had just done in the fight, and then the conversation turned to where they were going to play next.
Zhu Xu's cell phone rang while he was chatting happily. He glanced at the caller ID and immediately made a nervous "shh" gesture to everyone.
"Hey, baby, what's wrong?" After the surroundings quieted down, Zhu Xu answered the phone, "I'm not doing anything, why didn't I answer your message ...... I just put my cell phone on silent, I didn't hear you, hey hey hey don't be mad, I really didn't hear you, where am I? I'm surfing the net with Zuo Kuan and the others ......."
Zhu Xu As soon as the phone hung up, the boys all burst out laughing.
"Zhu Xu, are you a fucking coward? You had to coax her for half an hour when she didn't respond to a message?"
"Meaty as hell you two."
"Why are you still lying, just say it, we didn't lose the fight."
"That won't work, she knows I fight, she will definitely be angry with me." Zhu Xu was dismayed, "Last time I didn't pass the test in order to help Yu Fan, she almost broke up with me, but luckily she made up the test later ...... Hey, when you go to school you guys can't mention this today in front of her, or I'm finished."
The others laughed and smiled, and at the words they all nodded to reassure him, promising not to mention it.
"And don't tell Chen Jing ......," the person sitting in the corner suddenly spoke out coldly, and then changed his mouth in the middle of his words, "And don't tell the people in our class."
Everyone looked around at the sound and was stunned.
"What do you mean? People don't dare to say anything until Zhu Xu has a girlfriend in the class, why don't you dare to say anything?" Wang Luan asked without understanding.
"It's not that I don't dare." Yu Fan wrinkled his eyebrows in annoyance, "Don't say anything when I tell you not to."
"What, Yu Fan has a girlfriend too?" Another person asked.
"No." Yu Fan said, "Shut up."
"Hiss ...... that what, Yu Fan," Zuo Kuan, who was sitting in front of the store, froze, shook the cell phone in his hand, and said, "I was kinda trying to keep it a secret, but you're a little late. "
Yu Fan: "?"
"I've been graphically broadcasting it in the group, mainly to show Zhang Xianjing and the others, and asked them if they wanted to come over and play later." Zuo Kuan coughed, "But don't worry, I've been talking in our little group, elsewhere I--"
"Schoolboy?" Wang Luan yelped in surprise as he swept toward the front of the store.
Yu Fan's chewing gum froze. I can't, can I?
It took several seconds before he slowly turned his head toward the door.
Then get eye-to-eye with Chen Jingshen.
Chen Jingshen stood outside the store in silence, looking at him with little expression. Then very faintly he lowered his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the several wounds on his cheeks.
...... Yu Fan The pain on his face seemed to magnify a little instantly.
Lying is not a burden for Yu Fan. He thinks he is a person with little education, what he says or does is based on his mood, Zhuang Fangqin and Hu Pang have heard many of his bullshit words, even if the other party doesn't believe in him or directly expose him, Yu Fan will not have any emotion, typical of a dead pig that is not afraid of being burned by hot water.
But at this moment, a bit of inexplicable weakness came up like a tidal wave, splashing his brain a bit cold.
Yu Fan's lips moved and he didn't know what to say, so he remained silent for half a day.
Wang Luan: "School Master, why are you here? Did Yu Fan ask you to come here to play?"
Chen Jingshen faintly withdrew his eyes.
"No, just passing through." He said, "Gone."
Saw Chen Jingshen walk out of a section, Wang Luan baffled: "This can pass by, but also too coincidental ......."
A gust of wind whooshed past his face, and before he could react, Yu Fan had already gotten up and flew out after him, disappearing in a flash.
