cover me

Chapter 21

Chen Yan grabbed the towel and soap to follow: "Hey, Lin Yanxing, I heard that there was a girl in junior high who made an appointment for you..."

He saw a figure out of the corner of his eye, and immediately cut off the conversation: "Yu Ming!"

Yu Ming just passed the locker room when he heard this and his whole body trembled.

"Taking a bath?" Chen Yan greeted, "Do you want to bring boiling water, and I will bring a pot back for you?"

Yu Ming was frightened: "Well...thank you..."

Chen Yan still wanted to talk, but was stopped by Lin Yanxing: "Let's go, I have to study by myself at night after dinner."

After they got dressed, they went straight outside. Lin Yanxing said hesitantly, "If you want to change the dormitory, I'll tell the teacher for you."

Chen Li was puzzled: "Who said I want to change the dormitory?"

"Your roommate Yu Ming, I think he's had a bad time recently." Lin Yanxing said, "I thought I was the only one who disliked him, but I didn't expect there to be so many people. It's strange, I didn't tell anyone about those things. Ah, why are they all acting like they want to vent their anger on me..."

In the blink of an eye, Chen Yan understood.

He understands one thing, and he understands everything!

He grabbed Lin Yanxing's wrist violently, raised his eyes and asked coldly: "Today, Yu Ming fell into the river in the botanical garden, did he slip by himself, or did someone push him down?"

Lin Yanxing said, "I don't know."

When he arrived, Yu Ming was already thrashing in the river.

"What's wrong with you?" He was puzzled by Chen Ren's reaction, her pale face was almost up to the white wall.

What else can Chen Li do?He hates school violence!

At that moment, he was terribly disappointed with Eleventh Middle School and Class 1 of Senior One. He felt that these children were hopeless. They used to bully themselves, but now they are Yu Ming. If they don’t bully others, they can’t live, right? !

He asked Lin Yanxing: "Did you hear what Gao Shan said?"

"Yeah." Lin Yanxing said, "I heard what he meant, and everyone didn't do anything to Yu Ming, they just made up two sentences behind the scenes."

Chen Yan sneered: It's not doing well now, and it might not be so if it continues to develop.

Fifteen years ago, he was also excluded from the beginning, then he was insulted and beaten in public, and finally he couldn't stay in school for a second.

"That's not right," he said.

"Isn't that right?" Lin Yanxing said, "Even if Yu Ming intends to harm others, the culprits are you and Teacher A. You two didn't respond, but the others were excited.

Chen Eun said nothing.

Lin Yanxing continued: "But they are right, Yu Ming is not authentic."

Chen Yan suddenly raised her voice: "There are a lot of dishonest people! When you grow up and look in the society, everyone is fucking dishonest! What kind of murder, arson, abduction, whoring, whore, a slut like Yu Ming It doesn't count!"

"Bullying a classmate is bullying a classmate. Don't say what flies don't bite seamless eggs, why don't you bully others but bully you, because you're not fucking decent! Fuck them, bullying is justified?! "

"I thought it was okay to scold a few times around, and it was okay to hit a couple of times, this fucking will harm people for the rest of their lives! Who the hell will let me give it a try next time? I hit them so hard that their mothers and fathers don't even know each other!!"

Lin Yanxing was shocked by him: "...Chen Yan, you..."

Chen Yan also knew that he had overreacted, no matter what, Lin Yanxing would never be able to participate in the bullying.

Although his grades are not outstanding, he belongs to the top group of students, and he does not need to bully his classmates to gain a sense of dominance and identity.He will never bully the weak, that is too low-level, he can't do it.

He might punch boys of similar strength, but that's not called bullying, it's called a fight, and it's called a fight if there are too many people involved.

I shouldn't have yelled at him...

"..." Chen Yan covered her mouth with trembling hands.

"Chen Yan," Lin Yanxing said in a low voice, "No matter what they do, I won't do that kind of thing!"

Chen Yan looked up at him with blood in her eyes: "I'm sorry, I was too loud."

Lin Yanxing said, "It's okay, you..."

Suddenly, Chen Yan walked back, her steps hurried.

Lin Yanxing chased after him, and he could easily catch up with his long legs, but he didn't have the guts to stand side by side with Chen Yan, and Chen Yan's series of mood swings scared him.

In his heart, Chen Yan is a very precocious person, and he can't see the flamboyance of ordinary adolescent boys at all.

Although Chen Li's dirty mouth often caused him to be spoiled, but that kind of transparency and indifference cannot be pretended.

But now Chen Lin is not indifferent, a bit chill.

Chen Yan turned her head and said, "Lin Yanxing, go eat first, I'll talk to Yu Ming about something."

"What's the matter?" Lin Yanxing asked stupidly.

"Wait for me for evening study." After Chen Yan finished speaking, she ran towards the bathroom.

Yu Ming huddled under the shower head in the corner by himself, the water boiled slightly.

Chen Yan deliberately knocked on the wooden partition, Yu Ming raised his head in panic.

"How do you..."

Chen Rin said, "I heard about it."

"Listen... what did you hear?"

Chen Rin said, "I'll give you a piece of advice - don't be afraid."

"……What's the meaning?"

"You know what it means." Chen Yan said, "This is a process that is getting more and more serious. The more you are afraid, the more arrogant the other party will be."

"I...I'm fine." Yu Ming refused to admit it.

Boys of this age are somewhat vain, and it is not honorable to be excluded.

Chen Li didn't expose it either: "Okay, it's fine, just pretend I'm listening to rumors."

He patted the partition to leave, but was stopped by Yu Ming.

"Chen Yan..." Yu Ming asked, "Am I annoying? Someone in school is spreading bad words about me."

Chen Eun said: "It's not likable anyway."

Yu Ming asked: "Then if you are not likable, what should you do?"

Chen Yan looked at him.

Fifteen years ago, Chen Rin was even more unlikable than this. He was introverted, shy, shy, sneaky when looking at people, sneaky when doing things, always stuck in his throat, and looked miserable when he laughed.

But there are too few people who are naturally likable, and there is only one Lin Yanxing in the eleventh middle school.

"What else can I do?" Chen Yan said lightly, "Don't you want to die?"

Yu Ming asked: "Then... I'll let them scold for a few days, and then the matter will be over, right?"

Chen Yan frowned: "Why do you have such a naive idea?"

He said: "Let me ask you a question, did you fall into the water in the botanical garden by yourself, or was it pushed by someone else?"

Yu Ming murmured: "At that time, I passed a small wooden plank road, and there were quite a lot of people around. It seemed that someone squeezed me..."

"who is it?"

"I don't see clearly..."

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and more than a dozen high school senior boys rushed into the bathroom to grab the faucet at the same time. They raced against the clock in everything they did, as if a few minutes wasted in the shower, and they had to lose a few points in the college entrance examination.

Both Chen Yan and Yu Ming were pushed aside by them, it was no longer convenient for them to talk, so Chen Yan withdrew.

During the evening self-study class, he saw Yu Ming going out to go to the bathroom, so he followed him and stopped him halfway, saying, "Drink less water in the future, and try not to go to the bathroom alone during class—especially at night."

"Why?" Yu Ming asked.

Because you may be slapped to the ground in the toilet!

"Have you ever been bullied at school?" Chen Yan asked.

"No," Yu Ming said, "I don't like to cause trouble."

"Then you've gotten into trouble now." Chen Yan said, "Let's go, I'll accompany you to the bathroom."

He guessed right, Gao Shan and the other boys were staying in the toilet, they didn't make a special trip to wait for Yu Ming, but came to smoke.

It was not uncommon for high school boys to smoke, especially back then.

Although the school expressly prohibits it, it can only control public places, such as classrooms, libraries, and cafeterias; other relatively hidden places, such as the roof of the teaching building, the corner of the playground, the men's toilet, etc., there are inevitably boys who secretly run away with cigarette cases and lighters. Go for fun.

The school turns a blind eye to this, especially for those boys aged [-] or [-] in the third year of high school, who think that if smoking can refresh them and relieve stress, then smoke it!

Gao Shan and the others squatted in the corner of the toilet, which was dubbed the "smoking corner".

Seeing Yu Ming coming in, Gao Shan let out a "hey".

Yu Ming was afraid of him at first, so he quickly retracted his feet.

Gao Shan then shouted: "Hey, don't leave, you are so depressed! You used to be a mouse spirit, but today you have evolved and become a water mouse spirit. So what special scenery is there underwater, can you share with me?"

As soon as the words fell, the boys who were smoking together burst into laughter.

At this moment, Chen Ren entered.

Gao Shan immediately stopped laughing.

He was a little jealous of Chen Yan, not because Chen Yan was so powerful, but because Lin Yanxing was too kind to this tablemate.

Lin Yanxing didn't hide it at all, he was kind to anyone, he was as good as heaven, even looking a little disgusting.If it wasn't for Chen Yan being a boy, Gao Shan would have doubted that Lin Yanxing liked him.

Chen Li walked to the urinal naturally, and Yu Ming followed suit.

After the two went out, someone said: "What is the mouse spirit thinking? It was only punished during the day, and it dared to come to the toilet at night. We used to clean up people in the men's toilet in junior high school."

Someone replied: "People have three urgencies, and mice also have three urgencies. It's not about peeing."

Gao Shan asked: "Who punished him during the day?"

"Just the guy from class 4." Someone said, "Teacher A is Zhao Sheng's future brother-in-law in class 4. He was supposed to get engaged to his sister last month, but he broke a bone and couldn't even handle the banquet. His sister was so angry crying at home!"

Gao Shan scolded: "Yu Ming, that rat is a murderer!"

Another person said: "It's a pity, if it weren't for someone nearby, I'd be the one named Yu!"

"Are you sick or not?"

"Not disgusting, but rat spirits are disgusting."

Gao Shan stomped out the cigarette butt: "I was wondering why Chen Yan was hanging out with him. You don't even know how badly Chen Yan was hurt during his military training!"

"By chance?" someone asked.

Gao Shan said, "I hope. If Chen Yan stops it, our rodent eradication operation will not go smoothly."

The others laughed: "Just that little guy surnamed Chen? How dare he!"

——He is a dwarf, but he has Lin Yanxing to back him up.Gao Shan didn't say that.

Chen Yan and Yu Ming went out of the toilet, and when they reached a deserted place, Chen Yan asked, "Did you see it?"

Yu Ming nodded.

"Be careful, and remember to place orders less and leave the classroom less." Chen Yan said, "Although they may be angry in the classroom, they don't dare to be too rampant under the teacher's nose, and it will be different outside. .”

When mentioning the teacher, Chen Yan said: "You also have to hand in the homework that the teacher should hand in, and the class that should be attended. Don't let the teacher reprimand you in public, it will add fuel to the flames."

Yu Ming said aggrievedly: "But I obviously handed in my homework, but I don't know who threw it for me. I found it several times, and I threw it in the classroom wastebasket..."

Chen Yan smiled coldly: "Really?"

He thought to himself that this group of dead children really only had these few tricks. In the past, his homework suffered, but now it is Yu Ming's.

"Then you hand it over to the teacher yourself."

Yu Ming said in shock: "I...I dare not!"

Chen Yan glared at him: "If you don't dare, you have to dare. You have to resist, you can't bear it, don't think they will let you go, you don't want to drop out of school, do you?"

"They want to force me to drop out of school? They can't do it!" Yu Ming exclaimed, "But... But Teacher A's broken leg was obviously an accident..."

Chen Lin interrupted impatiently: "When is it? Don't explain! The more you describe, the darker it becomes. To be honest, I don't even believe it."

"Since you don't believe me, why do you help me?" Yu Ming asked.

"I'm not helping you." Chen Yan said.

He was doing himself a favor, his 15-year-old self.

He thought he was quite strong in the second half of his life, not to mention coping with the ups and downs in life with ease, at least he was able to grit his teeth and bear it, and he didn't ask for help much.

He thought his heart was hard enough, but he still couldn't see it. The ridicule and insult he experienced when he was young was so unforgettable that he still broods on it to this day.

Although he seldom recalled the campus life when he grew up, and even laughed when he did, it was because he was separated from the school environment and the bystanders could see clearly.Isn't he back now?

During the second self-study class, he lay prone on the seat, not in a high mood.Lin Yanxing patted him on the shoulder when the teacher led the class went out, but he ignored it.

Lin Yanxing pinched his skinny and tender little melon-seeded face and forcibly turned around.

"Fuck!" he scolded in a low voice, "If my neck was a little stiffer, I'd be fucking broken by you!"

Lin Yanxing also whispered, "Where did you and Yu Ming go?"

"Accompany him to the bathroom." Chen Yan was annoyed.

"why?"

Chen Yan raised her body and glanced at Gao Shan's direction, then lowered her head again: "I don't know whether it was intentional or not, Gao Shan and those people are waiting in the men's room, if I don't go to Yu Ming, I will be miserable."

Lin Yanxing asked: "Why do you stand up for Yu Ming? You don't care about military training?"

Chen Eun said: "You have said this too - if I don't help him, no one will help him."

Lin Yanxing frowned, with complicated emotions in his eyes. The pale lights in the classroom were cast from top to bottom, casting shadows under his tall nose, making him look extremely serious.

Lin Yanxing didn't show a serious expression, he was mostly stupid.

"I haven't done some things, but I have seen them." He said softly, "Don't make it difficult for everyone."

The reason why children who are bullied become more and more isolated is because those who are willing to help will also be classified into another book. If Chen Ren and Yu Ming get too close, they will be affected soon.

"Worried about me?" Chen Yan asked, thinking that I have successfully grown up as a star, and my son knows that he loves his father.

"Nonsense," Lin Yanxing said, "I can't just sit and watch you get into trouble."

Chen Yan leaned on his arms and smiled, his eyelashes fluttered like a feather fan. He leaned into Lin Yanxing's ear and asked, "Do you know the difference between me and Yu Ming?"

"where?"

Chen Eun said, "I know how to blow stabs."

Lin Yanxing put on a straight face: "Don't mess around! You don't think about yourself, Gao Shan alone can beat you three!"

"Then let him come here," Chen Yan continued to laugh, "It's not that easy to deal with me."

"..."

Lin Yanxing suddenly twisted his face and twisted it back forcefully.

"I don't fucking want to look at you anymore, I'm angry at you for being disobedient!" he said angrily.

There was a pause.

"...Chen Yan, are you okay?"

"Really a twisted neck?"

"Does it hurt?"

"My hands are so strong?"

"Do you want to go to the infirmary?"

"My dad knows a bone-setting doctor, why don't we go there now?"
