Chapter 12 We Were Young (Revised)
The noisy cicadas outside the window blew and intermittently matched with the occasional wind blowing. The ceiling fan in the classroom was whizzing and whirling overhead, and the hot air blown out by the maximum fan was scattered and transpired.The students in school uniforms were all immersed in their studies, surrounded only by the occasional rattling of books and the sound of pens scratching on paper.
Li Jingxing sat by the window with his chin propped up, his face was soft and beautiful, his whole body was shrouded in the sunlight, gentle and quiet.
But it was just an appearance, he was chatting with Xiaoqianqian now.
Xiaoqianqian: "Boss, the target person in this world is your deskmate Beiyang, don't forget."
Li Jingxing: "Is he rich?"
"Beiyang's father is a gangster on the road."
"I'm asking if Beiyang has any money. Why are you mentioning his father?"
Xiaoqianqian was quiet for three seconds before answering: "Although Beiyang has no money, his half-brother is a rich second generation. The boss has promised his brother to help Beiyang improve his grades and take the college entrance examination, and wait for the completion of the task." After that, the boss will have 500 million as a reward."
"Understood, it's none of your business, let's escape." Anyway, as long as he knows that he can make money, as for other things, he didn't worry about it at all, and didn't think much about it.
Just as he disconnected from Xiaoqianqian, a figure fell in front of him. He looked up and saw that it was the head teacher.
The homeroom teacher glanced at the books on his desk, frowned slightly, and said with a smile, "Li Jingxing, in the sprint stage of the third year of high school, it's better for you to spend more time on yourself. As for Beiyang, you can just teach as you like."
"Well, I see." Li Jingxing nodded, put down his pen, closed the nearly brand-new book on the table, put it back on the empty seat on the right, and started reading with his own book.
The head teacher nodded in satisfaction, and returned to the podium with his hands behind his back.
As soon as the get out of class bell rang, the silent classroom was instantly bumped by tables and chairs, and the noise was filled.The girls picked up small fans to blow on their faces, and the boys shook their sweaty school uniforms to fan the wind, and tilted their chairs to pour water into their mouths.
Li Jingxing glanced at the timetable, the next period was physical education.With the college entrance examination approaching, the physical education class has also been changed to free activities, and students will not be forced to participate.Those who want to learn can continue to study in the classroom, and those who want to relax can go to the playground for activities.
After sitting in the classroom for a long time, even if he didn't go downstairs for activities, he could hardly stand the smell of sweat and feet left in the classroom.As soon as he stepped out of the classroom door, he stopped, then turned back to his seat, and grabbed two pens on the table with his left hand, one black and one red.Reaching into the stomach of the empty seat on the right with his right hand, he took out the book just now.
There is not much time left before the exam, for the sake of 500 million, we should work harder.
He walked down the teaching building with the book, and saw that the students in the class were already playing.There are badminton players, basketball players, shuttlecock kickers, volleyball players, and rope skippers. There are also a few students who play basketball and get into a fight, and they turn their arms to prepare for a fight.
Someone asked him to play with him, but Li Jingxing shook his head and declined.He didn't have time to do these useless tasks. He bought a bottle of water at the commissary and sat in a corner with few people.Open the book in his hand, pull off the cap of the red gel pen, and continue to draw key points on the book.
The sunlight shines on his body through the gaps among the dense leaves, and casts irregular spots of light.Xia Chan yelled long and short above his head.The sudden breeze lifted the hair on his forehead, and the long eyelashes were dappled and golden.
"Hey."
Li Jingxing stopped moving his hands and looked around, but he didn't see anyone.
The boy's lazy voice sounded again: "Behind you."
Li Jingxing turned his head and looked behind him, and saw a boy wearing the same school uniform as him, standing outside the school's railing.With his hands in his pockets, he stood under the sun and squinted at him.
His face was pale and reddish, with bruises from the fight at the corners of his mouth and on his browbones.He raised his chin towards Li Jingxing, and said to him: "Excellent student, do you have any money? Lend me some and pay it back later."
Li Jingxing shook his head.
"Really?" He raised his eyebrows impatiently, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"I don't have any money, but do you want to work harder?" Li Jingxing picked up the textbook in his hand and motioned to him with a sincere smile on his face.
He squinted his eyes and looked at Li Jingxing for two seconds, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Excellent student, you'd better go work on your own." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.
"Beiyang!" Li Jingxing called to stop him.
Beiyang stopped and turned to look at him.A bottle of water flew towards him in a parabola from the top of the iron fence, and he reached out to catch it.
"It's hot, be careful of heat stroke."
Beiyang unscrewed the bottle cap, poured water into his mouth, his throat kept rolling up and down.He drank the water in the bottle in one breath, wiped off the water stains at the corner of his mouth, threw the plastic bottle into the air, and made a volley with his left foot. in the trash.
He turned around and walked away, put his left hand back into his trouser pocket, raised his right arm and waved: "Thank you."
Li Jingxing watched Beiyang's back until he could no longer see him, then he turned his gaze away and continued to sit under the tree and draw on the textbook with a pen.
In summer, it gets dark late, and so do the street lights.
Li Jingxing returned home with his schoolbag on his back, carrying a notepad of vocabulary in his hand as he walked and memorized it.He walked across the road and turned into an old alley that he had to go home, when he saw a group of punks fighting in the corner.
The fiery sunset hangs in the sky, and the orange-red sunset gradually falls, blocked by the towering elevator apartment in the distance.The street lamps in the alley came on with a snap, and they were dim yellow.The cat squatting on the wall meowed lazily.
Surrounded by the punks, the teenager leaned against the wall, clenched his fists and vigilantly scanned the punks in front of him.It's a fucking bad time. Recently, his father's reselling items were detained by the police. Anyway, his father was an idiot and didn't get involved in the police, but he was sent to the hospital.
Right now the hospital and the outside of his home are blocked by debt collectors, he dare not go back, so he had to find a bridge hole to squat overnight to make do with it, but when he just found a place, he was picked on by a gangster, and naturally he beat him up.Then the little bastard called for help today and blocked him here.
The gangsters surrounding Beiyang all had wounds on their faces, and if they hadn't underestimated the enemy, they wouldn't have come to find fault with their bare hands.They don't dare to act rashly now, so they have to trap people here first, wait for their brothers to find someone who is easy to handle, and then give the arrogant kid in front of them a good beating!
Li Jingxing saw Beiyang surrounded by people at a glance, he thought for a while, put the notepad in his trouser pocket, and prepared to go up to help and make Beiyang owe him a favor.He doesn't know what kind of person Beiyang is, but since there is a gangster as a character, it must be based on friendship.
Raiders targets may have different personalities, but all principles are inseparable.That is, no matter what their personalities are, they can't do things that violate human ethics or kill and set fire.The reason why he was so sure was because Xiaoqianqian had guaranteed it.
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps from behind interrupted his thoughts, the man's footsteps were getting closer, and he howled, for fear that he would not be able to highlight his sense of existence: "Boss, I found the stick! "He also saw Li Jingxing when he ran over, but seeing Li Jingxing's attire is standard for a nerd, he never thought that he would get involved in this matter.
As for why he stood still and didn't move, he must have been frightened out of his wits!So he didn't care about Li Jingxing at all.
However, just as he was about to pass by Li Jingxing, Li Jingxing suddenly stretched out his foot and tripped him. The little bastard lost his balance and fell to the ground, the stick in his arms clanging to the ground.Li Jingxing walked forward slowly and glanced at the sticks, like an aunt picking vegetables in the market. He stopped his gaze, bent down, picked up one of the sticks, weighed it in his hand, swung it vigorously in front of him twice, and let out a Two whirring sounds.
The punks who were staring at Beiyang were attracted by the movement behind them, and Beiyang also turned his head to look over. When he saw Li Jingxing, his eyes flashed with surprise.
"Little brother, thank you for your stick." Li Jingxing lowered his eyes to look at the gangster lying on the ground, smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up, then picked up the stick and walked towards the gangsters surrounding Beiyang, "It's quite boring to read every day. Yes, it’s good to move your hands and feet occasionally.”
"You..." One of the gangsters couldn't hold back when he saw this, pointed at Li Jingxing and began to curse, but took advantage of Beiyang's loophole, kicked him in the chest, and slid half a meter on the ground before stopping.The group of gangsters reacted and greeted Beiyang, and then they were swung on the back with a stick, impartially, planning to hit them on the shoulder.
Taking advantage of the group of people being knocked into a daze by sticks, Beiyang slammed an uppercut into the face of the punk who was closest to him. The punk flipped around in the air, and a tooth fell out of his mouth.
After Li Jingxing gave the two gangsters a stick, he didn't do anything again. He put his hands on the sticks and watched Beiyang and the gangsters fight.Beiyang kicked the last gangster to the ground before turning his head to look at Li Jingxing who was standing not far away.
"Are you alright?" Li Jingxing stood quietly on the spot, scattered halo quietly sprinkled on him, brown eyes dotted with light, reflecting Beiyang's shadow.
"Thank you." Bei Yang leaned his back against the wall, squatted on the ground along the wall, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "I owe you a favor." Can't win.By then, he will be miserable.
Li Jingxing walked slowly in front of Beiyang, and stretched out a hand towards him; "Can you still get up?" Li Jingxing stood against the street lamp, the yellow halo of light quietly shone on him, and that thin and thin figure quietly moved Beiyang. The sun is caged in the shadows.
Xiaoqianqian's cold electronic voice suddenly sounded: "He is a lone wolf stuck in the dark night, walking aimlessly and slowly, thinking that only in this way can he find the light. Suddenly realized: the light is actually very close to him.”
Li Jingxing commented blankly: "Crazy."
