Chapter 1030 The beauty of adulthood
Nighttime, the sinful corner of the Fourth Middle School—the small garden.
Faced with Zhang Chi's verbal threats, the pretty boy Luo Jun didn't dare to stop him anymore. The other party had a menacing look on his face, and if he intervened, he would definitely get a beating.
With the thought of "better to die than to die myself," Luo Jun smiled sheepishly and said, "I was just reminding you, that's enough, I've already drawn the Golden Legendary!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chi glanced at Gu Tai and saw that he had beaten him so badly that Gu Tai was drooling and probably seeing stars.
He then loosened his grip on Gu Tai's collar and said smugly, "My luck is just that good!"
Duan Shigang, standing to the side, said in surprise, "These two are the Black and White Duo from our school? They're quite famous, but is that all the backbone they have? They're nowhere near as good as my old underlings!"
Liu Chuanda touched his hair gelled head and urged, "Hurry up, I'm planning to go on a date with my junior!"
Zhang Chi looked at Gu Tai and Luo Jun again and said without any politeness, "What kind of bullshit Black and White Duo are you? I think you're just two stray dogs on the roadside!"
Gu Tai and Luo Jun were furious. The titles they had earned over a year had been trampled on!
They hated it, but dared not speak out.
"What's the password, damn it? Tell me now!" Zhang Chi asked, holding his phone.
“1818,” Gu Tai said reluctantly.
After unlocking the app, Zhang Chi skillfully entered the Tieba app and found traces of the deleted posts.
He began listing the crimes: "You have taken things out of context, maliciously distorted and spread false information, which constitutes spreading rumors and has affected Jiang Ning's reputation. Now you need to make compensation."
Luo Jun muttered, "Our post was deleted as soon as it was published; nobody saw it at all."
Zhang Chi grabbed his collar: "Then you're criminals too! Want to get beaten up?"
Luo Jun: "I'll pay, I'll pay! Don't slap me in the face!"
After discussion, Zhang Chi ordered the three of them to jointly compensate Jiang Ning 100 yuan for emotional distress.
Luo Jun, Gu Tai, and Shi Qianjin pooled their money and finally managed to raise 100 yuan.
Zhang Chi sarcastically remarked, "Poor bastard."
Gu Tai's forehead twitched, and he swallowed his anger. Just you wait!
After receiving compensation for emotional distress, Zhang Chi left the small garden with Duan Shigang and Liu Chuandao.
He walked through the campus at night; the breeze was cool, and the weather was perfect for a good meal.
That's 100 yuan! A high-end braised chicken with ham sausage and a can of iced cola only costs 20 yuan. 100 yuan is enough for five meals!
'Should we just swallow the money?' Zhang Chi had a bold idea.
He stopped and showed off the money in his hand: "Brothers, wanna grab some barbecue tonight?"
Duan Shigang: "You're not giving it to Jiang Ning?"
Zhang Chi said firmly, "We work so hard to get things done, what's wrong with spending a little money? As the saying goes, 'pluck a feather from a passing goose'!"
Then he looked at Liu Chuandao, whom he also considered a wicked man.
The thought of Jiang Ning setting Shi Qianjin on fire sent chills down Liu Chuanda's spine. He had used hairspray today, which is flammable!
It's clearly not worth offending Jiang Ning for a little money.
Liu Chuandao said expressionlessly, "Why are you looking at me? Don't be fooled by how strong I am, I'm not good enough."
"Gangzi?"
Duan Shigang uttered a few words: "Don't dream dreams that can't be realized!"
Zhang Chi was convinced and had no choice but to give up.
Meanwhile, in the small garden behind them.
The conspiratorial trio went from being full of enthusiasm to being completely demoralized in less than five minutes.
The rain didn't fall, but the atmosphere was tense. Shi Qianjin sensed the change in their hearts; without a doubt, it was a deep-seated hatred.
Shi Qianjin felt extremely embarrassed and wanted to leave.
Suddenly, Gu Tai raised his face. He was so happy to have won ten consecutive draws that his face turned pale, especially the corner of his mouth, which was bleeding.
In the darkness, there was a certain eeriness to it.
"Shi Qianjin, do you think we're incompetent?" Gu Tai asked in a gloomy tone.
Shi Qianjin's secret seemed to have been exposed, and he quickly explained, "Don't talk nonsense! I didn't! How could that be?"
"Hehe." The pretty boy laughed as well. Because his face was so pale, it reflected the moonlight in the darkness, giving it an eerie glow.
At this moment, Shi Qianjin finally understood why they were called the Black and White Duo.
"Hehe, do you want revenge?" Luo Jun asked quietly.
"Revenge?" Shi Qianjin asked, puzzled.
Jiang Ning, the main character, hasn't even made a move yet, and you've already been beaten to a pulp. How are you going to get revenge?
"Hehehe."
"Hehehe."
Gu Tai and Luo Jun sneered together, then chanted in unison, "The Black and White Duo, dead but not stiff!"
"Today, we'll show you why we're known as the Black and White Duo!"
Gu Tai began reciting: "Zhang Chi is a violent, greedy, and gambling man. He will set traps and harm people as long as they are offered benefits!"
Luo Jun: "Liu Chuandao is ugly and lecherous! Use a beauty trap to seduce him!"
Finally, the two recited together: "Duan Shigang is arrogant and power-hungry! He makes people his underlings, but betrays and kills them at crucial moments!"
They laid out all the three men's flaws: "Next time we meet, we'll take them in!"
Shi Qianjin was shocked: "You, you?"
Gu Tailuo smiled sinisterly. As the Black and White Duo, they only needed to make contact with each other once to discern each other's weaknesses, and then crush them with lightning speed!
Gu Tai pulled out a notebook: "The Book of Life and Death!"
Luo Jun pulled out a black pen: "The Soul-Snatching Pen!"
Then, Luo Jun picked up the pen and began to sketch in front of Shi Qianjin.
Shi Qianjin made a bizarre discovery: at this moment, he couldn't see Luo Jun's eyes clearly; he could only see a deathly pale face, which was extremely eerie!
A chill ran down his spine as he thought to himself, 'Liu Duanzhang, and Jiang Ning, you've probably offended someone very powerful!'
Luo Jun squinted as he finished writing down Liu Duanzhang's weaknesses. He sighed to himself, "I've been getting nearsighted lately, and the light is so bad at night. I guess I'll have to get a pair of glasses next time."
……
April 8th, after school in the afternoon.
There were people playing badminton in the plaza on the first floor, but today's protagonist was no longer Yun Tingting.
Principal Yu was in high spirits today and invited several teachers to play badminton. Director Yan was supposed to play, but he wasn't ready, so he gave the opportunity to Teacher An Chan.
Principal Yu, who is quite old, looked at the young teacher An Chan and said with a smile, "Teacher An, you don't need to go easy on me."
An Chan's father was arrested and imprisoned, and she had been in a bad mood lately, especially after hearing what Principal Yu said.
Young teachers often dislike the ways of the workplace, thinking to themselves, "You said it yourself!"
An Chan, who plays badminton quite often, immediately switched to serious mode.
Guo Ran was playing a match-3 game in her office when she suddenly noticed Director Yan walking in with a tennis racket. She greeted him, "Didn't you play tennis with the principal?"
Director Yan said sternly, "Go do your own thing."
Guo Ran continued playing the game. She fiddled with the mirror for a while and saw through the reflection that Director Yan was holding nail clippers and trimming the net strings of the racket.
Guo Ran was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly realized that if the principal made a smash, Director Yan's internet connection would be cut.
"Well done, Director Yan!" Guo Ran felt she had learned the ways of being an official.
Down in the plaza, An Chan thought she could easily crush the principal with her ball skills, but after a few rounds, she was surprised to find that she couldn't beat him at all!
Principal Yu is really good at playing ball!
After being beaten for a while, An Chan admitted that she was no match for him. Principal Yu laughed and said, "Young people these days should exercise more!"
"Our school's sports meet is coming up soon, you can't let yourselves down!"
When Yun Tingting saw Teacher An leave, she noticed the principal's arrogant demeanor and immediately shouted, "Principal, I'd like to play two rounds with you!"
Principal Yu agreed.
So Yun Tingting made her appearance, and she was still the true most popular girl at No. 4 Middle School. What was An Chan compared to her?
The students spread the word, and within a minute, the balconies on the second, third, and fourth floors were packed with students, most of the boys staring at Yun Tingting's shapely buttocks.
The badminton game is about to begin.
Xue Yuantong and Chen Siyu were playing games in the classroom when she asked, "Why is it so noisy outside?"
Judging from the noise, Chen Siyu figured it was Yun Tingting playing badminton.
"Why do so many boys watch Yun Tingting play basketball?" Xue Yuantong asked.
Chen Siyu thought for a moment and said, "Because a big fart makes all the poor scholars in the world happy."
Former squad leader Xin Youling was drinking water when he choked on it.
Chen Siyu: "What's wrong with you?"
Xin Youling's expression was strange: "I'm fine."
"It's alright, I thought you were overthinking it," Chen Siyu said deliberately.
Xue Yuantong stood up from his chair and said, "Siyu, what do you think of my badminton skills?"
Chen Siyu gave a thumbs up: "You're amazing! You're not very tall, but you're really incredible."
Xue Yuantong raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean by saying I'm not tall?"
The clever Chen Siyu translated: "It means he's not very tall."
The atmosphere was a bit tense.
Xin Youling thought for a moment. She was very good at comforting others and acting as a spiritual mentor.
After a brief moment of consideration, Xin Youling said earnestly, "Xue Yuantong, height is not the only standard for measuring personal value. Everyone has their own unique charm and value. What's important is your talent and kindness. Don't worry too much about your height; what's important is doing what you love."
She smiled, and the eye bags beneath her bright eyes made her incredibly approachable.
Sure enough, Xue Yuantong's expression softened after her words of comfort.
“Xin Youling, thank you. You really are a great class monitor,” she said.
Xin Youling, who had only casually offered comfort to others, felt her long-dormant heart beat again upon hearing the title of class monitor.
The longer she stayed in Class 8, the more she appreciated Xue Yuantong's talent.
If it were her, she would vote for me, speak up for me…
Overwhelmed with joy, Xin Youling blurted out, "It's alright, I was just saying something against my conscience once in a while. If you want to hear it, I can tell you."
After he finished speaking, the air fell silent.
Xue Yuantong stared in disbelief: "You?"
……
It's not as vibrant and diverse as Class 8.
After his phone exploded, Xiao Shaoxiong ran alone on the playground, lap after lap, until the brilliant sunset began to fade on the horizon.
it's getting dark.
Xiao Shaoxiong was tired. His mouth was dry. He leaned against the podium and looked out at the youthful and beautiful dance team on the playground.
I heard that the girl in the red dress leading the group is called Sister Ai, and she really is as passionate as a flame.
He could have taken photos of them with his prestigious dual-curved Samsung S6 and shared them with his classmates at the town's middle school, but unfortunately, his phone exploded.
Xiao Shaoxiong's backbone has thus become much more desolate.
He didn't even have enough money to buy a cell phone, let alone contact his sister to ask for some gold coins.
His eyes were slightly unfocused.
At that moment, a male student wearing an old school uniform and with a kind face appeared in front of him.
"Xiao Shaoxiong, have you been running on the playground all this time?" Shan Xiao asked.
Xiao Shaoxiong remembered him. He was exhausted, but his eyes seemed to hold the strength of a lion, unwilling to admit defeat: "Yeah, I ran more than ten laps, it's alright."
Dan Xiao wasn't shocked. He simply took out a bottle of Gatorade and said sincerely, "You must be thirsty."
Xiao Shaoxiong looked bewildered; it was the first time he had ever felt warmth in the cold Fourth Middle School.
"Thanks," he said, taking the Gatorade.
He unscrewed the cap, took a sip, and suddenly realized that the bottle didn't contain any energy drinks, but just ordinary purified water.
Xiao Shaoxiong was somewhat angry and dissatisfied. He angrily said, "Damn it, are you trying to fool me with water?"
Dan Xiao said somewhat apologetically, "Brother, my cup broke and I don't have money to buy a new one, so I've been filling it with water like this lately."
"Haha, you little rascal..." He laughed for a moment and then fell silent.
When Xiao Shaoxiong saw Shan Xiao's appearance, his anger suddenly disappeared. Then, he noticed the other's old school uniform and saw his weathered face, which revealed the greatest sincerity of humankind.
Xiao Shaoxiong was silently shocked; his scalp tingled.
He suddenly hated himself. He remembered that he used to fill water containers like this when he was a child. Why did he look down on himself now that he was grown up? What was wrong with him?
Why do we feel more awkward as we grow older, unable to stand up or lie down comfortably? It's like a beverage bottle that's been scalded with boiling water.
After reflecting on it, Xiao Shaoxiong forced a smile and put his arm around Shan Xiao's shoulder: "Thanks, bro, the water was delicious!"
At that moment, he let down his guard against Shan Xiao.
The two chatted by the podium. Shan Xiao, who was involved in many fields, told Xiao Shaoxiong some campus gossip, and the air was filled with men's laughter.
Near the end, Xiao Shaoxiong also talked about his current situation.
Dan Xiao's smile was sincere and honest. He rummaged through his pocket and pulled out a few crumpled banknotes and coins, managing to scrape together 37.5 yuan.
"Brother Xiao, take this money first. You live so far from home, you can't do without a cell phone. Can you scrape together some more money and ask Zhang Chi from our class to buy a used cell phone for now?"
Xiao Shaoxiong was deeply moved: "Thank you!"
Shan Xiao said earnestly, "I hope everything goes well for you."
……
Night self-study.
Xiao Shaoxiong had already replaced his SIM card. He went to Zhang Chi, intending to buy a new one, but he disliked secondhand phones and decided to rent one instead.
He'll go to his good-for-nothing sister tonight and ask her for money to buy a better phone.
Before that, he had one more thing to do.
He logged into QQ and found that his good friend Wu Tie had sent him many messages, asking why he hadn't replied.
Xiao Shaoxiong glanced at Zhang Zhaodi beside him, and a thought struck him.
He burned Zhang Zhaodi and hasn't paid her medical expenses yet. Lu Qiqi has been trying to get the money for her these past few days.
Xiao Shaoxiong had a sudden inspiration: if he could help Zhang Zhaodi and his good friend get back together, wouldn't he be able to save on medical expenses?
It's so great! Let's get started!
