Chapter 8: Attack on the Road
The piano music for the next night's self-study slowly sounded, Lin Wan put down the pen in her hand, looked at the draft full of several pages, and still couldn't solve the questions in the exercise book.
She shrugged her head in frustration, and her mind was still the "intersection" and "union" that the teacher said during the day, densely entangled in her mind, and she still couldn't open her mind.
Lin Wan is very biased, and she has a perfect score of 2 points in English in the high school entrance examination, but she has just passed the math line, otherwise she should be sitting in the classroom next door now.
"Let's go first, Lin Wan. Xiao Qi's voice came from the side.
"Well, you go first, I'll wait for Chen Xue. Lin Wan sat in the classroom as usual and waited for Chen Xue to go home together.
"Don't wait, their student council will stay to discuss things, and it won't be over in a while. Let's go first, my dad is waiting for me outside. β
After Xiao Qi left, Lin Wan took out the scratch paper and began to scribble on it. She has had a habit since she was a child, and when she is in a bad mood, she will imitate the protagonist in the Japanese comic to draw character portraits.
After a while, a piece of paper was already full of anime faces, but each face had a pair of cold and sharp eyes.
She tore off the scratch paper with some irritability, looked out of the classroom, there was still no shadow of Chen Xue, she picked up her schoolbag and left the classroom.
The autumn breeze is blowing, the cool breeze is blowing, the waning moon is not full and the moon is dim, shrouding the quiet night, and the pond behind the campus rockery occasionally makes a few frog calls, adding a bit of weird color to this silent night.
Lin Wan has been feeling that someone is following her since she walked out of the classroom, and she can't help but feel nervous and quicken her pace with her high vigilance.
Walking to the school gate, with the help of the bright light of the gate, she turned around and found that there was no one behind her, and she was secretly relieved.
The school gate leads to the bus stop through a dark path, and in front of the low tiled houses on both sides stands a crumbling street lamp, like a century-old man, barely breathing.
Every time she passed by with Chen Xue, Chen Xue would kick the lamp pole with her foot, and the dust that drifted down from the lampshade was like snowflakes scattered in the sky in the dim light. Whenever she saw Lin Wan's fair face covered with a layer of ash, Chen Xue would laugh so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist.
Lin Wan somehow wanted to kick the lamp pole like Chen Xue today, maybe she was annoyed by the nasty math problem tonight, maybe she had seen someone's heart speed up uncontrollably recently, she hated this strange feeling.
Before she could lift her feet, Lin Wan's hair was grabbed from behind and pulled back.
She felt her scalp being torn hard, and for a moment she felt like her hair was being ripped off.
Before she could see the person behind her, a strong force hit her ear, and the sudden force made her lose her center of gravity and fall to the ground, instantly her ears ringed for a few seconds, and the thick smell of blood spread in her mouth.
Before she could recover her senses, the man stepped forward and grabbed her hair again, and seeing that another slap was about to be thrown at her, she stopped the hand that was about to continue to exert force on her face, and now she finally saw the person who cameβ
It turned out to be the class leader of their class, Cuckoo.
The person in front of her was no longer her familiar appearance, his face was twisted with anger, and his slender eyebrows were like a sharp knife at the moment, sharp, fierce, and brutal.
Behind her were a few scantily clad little sisters, sneering condescendingly.
Not far away, I could vaguely see a few boys leaning against the wall and smoking, and the little red light coming out of the darkness was like a vicious dog with hungry red eyes, grinning at her.
Du Juan, whose hand was amputated, dragged Lin Wan's hair fiercely, and kept repeating in her mouth, "It's you, it's you, you dare to sue me!"
Lin Wan felt that her scalp was numb with pain, and the tears that had already gushed out in front of her due to the pain became blurred, and cold sweats continued to break out all over her body.
In an instant, a trace of ruthlessness suddenly flashed under her misty eyes, and she slammed her four fingers straight into the soft underbelly of the cuckoo, grabbed her ribs and pulled them up, and the cuckoo suddenly let go of his hand in pain.
Unexpectedly, the anti-wolf technique that I learned from my father Lin Ye on weekdays came in handy here.
Lin Wan stood up straight, straightened her torn hair, put her hand in her pocket, and quietly pressed the shortcut key......
Her eyes stared at the cuckoo deadly, and there was a fierceness in her clear eyes, and the cuckoo on the other side was stunned for a while.
"I didn't expect this chick to be quite powerful, looking at the soft and weak who dared to resist!" The boy not far away walked over, and the little sister behind him also came over and restrained Lin Wan.
"Do you know how strong Cheng Yu's family background is? Just your malnourished poor sour appearance, your whole body is not as expensive as his pair of shoes, and you deserve to mention his name together!" The cuckoo leaned over towards Lin Wan, and a sharp voice sounded in Lin Wan's ears.
Lin Wan's faint willow eyebrows twisted, it turned out that the most important thing was Cheng Yu.
"I don't have anything to do with him. Lin Wan looked up at the cuckoo, there was no trace of cowardice on her pale face, and there was a hint of sharpness in her eyes.
"It's best if it doesn't matter, let me hear what you have with him again, today it's not as simple as pulling your hair and slapping you. Also, you are not allowed to talk about today's affairs, and if you do, you will wait for you to be treated the same as you at the same table!"
Lin Wan bent down to pick up the schoolbag that was thrown on the ground, and patted the dust one by one.
After a while, she saw Chen Xue riding a bicycle and driving towards her quickly.
Chen Xue threw down the car and ran over quickly, quickly checked the injuries on Lin Wan's body, and insisted on raising her slightly lowered head - the big slap marks on her fair face were clearly visible, and the slightly swollen face was still left with the faint blood stains left after wiping the corners of her mouth, and her appearance looked particularly miserable.
Chen Xue's eyes turned red instantly, and she yelled excitedly, "Damn, what about them!"
"Just left. Lin Wan's voice was surprisingly calm, and her eyes showed a calmness that didn't match her appearance at all, "Did you record it?"
"Don't worry, I received a phone call, and as soon as I heard something wrong, I immediately recorded it, I still have this awareness, and it is not in vain that I have learned reconnaissance techniques from Uncle Lin since I was a child. Chen Xue raised the mobile phone in her hand, and released it as she spoke.
"I don't have anything to do with him. β
"It's best if it doesn't matter, let me hear what you have with him again, today it's not as simple as pulling your hair and slapping you. Also, you are not allowed to talk about today's affairs, and if you do, you will wait for you to be treated the same as you at the same table!"
"It turns out that it's still a triangular dispute, who is this male protagonist, such a scumbag, dragged out and beaten up!" A joking male voice sounded, as if trying to break the dull atmosphere.
Only then did Lin Wan notice that there were two boys standing behind Chen Xue, hidden in the dark.
The boy who spoke just now was the boy he met in the cafeteria at that time, Li Zhongyi, who was looking at them with a playful face at the moment.
But what he didn't know was that the scumbag he was talking about was standing behind him at this time, with his hands in his pockets, and the look on his face was obscure.
Chen Xue glanced at Li Zhongyi, took Lin Wan's hand and explained, "They are my classmates, and they are also from the student union. β
After Chen Xue finished speaking, his eyes glanced at the person behind Li Zhongyi, who was calmly straddle the bicycle at this moment, with his always calm and cold expression on his face.
She remembered what he looked like just now after hearing that Lin Wan had an accident, that was the first time she knew that he who was so calm would be like this, flustered.
"Next, what should I do, do you want to hand it over to the teacher?" Li Zhongyi suddenly became serious.
Lin Wan's eyes drifted back from a distance, and her voice sounded faintly, "Don't worry, let's go home first." β
That night, Chen Xue had been babbling in front of her to explain how Lin Wan would deal with the wound and how to reduce the swelling when she went back, or she would go to her house for one night, so as not to worry Aunt Lu.
Not far behind him were two bicycles riding side by side, and from time to time a voice came from behind, "Alas, I just found out, my house is not in this direction?"
"Alas, you said that we will arrest that scumbag tomorrow and make a little angry for Chen Xue, how about it?"
"Hey, Ah Yu, you're not going to fall asleep, are you?
"Squeak. β
Lin Wan suddenly burst out laughing, and when she turned her head, she just met a pair of dark and deep eyes, I don't know if it was her illusion, she actually saw the red ears behind the shallow raised corners of her mouth.
She suddenly felt that the late autumn night was no longer so cold, and even the broken moon had a strange beauty at the moment, and the breeze blew gently, which seemed to blow away all the depression in her heart.
This night, fortunately, with them, she is no longer afraid, no longer lonely.
So, every night in the future, such a conversation can be heard on the road leading to the community.
"Hey, Chen Xue, hurry up! the one who loses is responsible for tomorrow's breakfast!"
"Alas, you also carry such a big person to compare with me, although there is no sow to look at Shen, but it also has the weight of a piglet. β
Lin Wan, who was still smiling in the back seat, immediately scratched her hand at Chen Xue's waist when she heard this, and kept threatening in her mouth, "Who is the piglet, who is the piglet......
Behind them was unhurriedly followed by a bicycle, the boy on the bike had dark eyes, but the smile on his lips could no longer be hidden.
The late autumn wind, the quiet night, some people are accompanied by words, and the throbbing heart is waiting in the youth.
"Jingle bells, jingle bells......"
"That's all for today, class!" On the podium, the Chinese teacher's voice stopped abruptly at the moment when the bell rang for the end of class.
"To go?" Xiao Qi touched Lin Wan's arm, and Lin Wan immediately understood that he would follow.
The school toilets are the best place for girls to exchange gossip, and almost all the news comes out of here and flows here.
"Alas, Lin Wan, I heard that you have been quite close to the top class next door recently. β
"I'm just going home with Chen Xue, they might drop by. β
"Come on, does Cheng Yu like you, I don't think he talks to other girls, why is it an exception when he comes to you?"
"He never said a word to me. β
"No, it's not what I thought. Alas, I'm fine, I'll be waiting for you at the door. β
When Lin Wan finished washing her hands and was about to walk out, she was pulled back by a strong force and pressed her against the wall, "What I said, it seems that you didn't listen to it!" The cuckoo pulled Lin Wan's hair angrily and said viciously.
Lin Wan didn't speak, a layer of coldness floated in her clear eyes, she quickly turned around, turned upside down with her backhand, and pressed the cuckoo's tiger mouth, and the cuckoo let go of the hand that was pulling Lin Wan's hair after eating the pain.
"I'm not going to do the same move twice. Lin Wan pushed away the other girl who was blocking the door of the toilet, turned her head and chuckled, "I forgot to say, my father is a policeman." β
After that day, the cuckoo never came to Lin Wan again.
thought that the matter would pass like this, but suddenly one day Lin Wan saw Xiao Qi's red and swollen face and accidentally exposed arms, which were covered with dense and terrible scars.
She was angry, and for the first time she knew that there were some people who would not come to provoke you if you didn't provoke them.
She turned her head to look at the back of the classroom, where the cuckoo sat on the table and showed her a victorious smile.
