Chapter 19: Indigo Summer
For Zhou Ke, this morning was undoubtedly bleak, with dim sunshine, dim city, and dim sky. Everything seemed to have lost its color, leaving only a single outline, sketched meaninglessly in her eyes.
After suffering a blow to her dignity and personality at the same time, she walked down the street in a trance, wandering aimlessly.
Suddenly, Zhou Ke's eyes fell on a convenience store on the side of the road.
I'm a little hungry, go get something to eat.
With that in mind, she walked into the convenience store.
The temperature in the store was a little cold, probably because the air conditioning was turned on too low.
Looking at the scattered customers in the store, Zhou Ke lowered his head and silently walked to the container where the food was placed.
She doesn't like to talk to people, she doesn't like to be in contact with people, and she doesn't even like to be seen by others. In fact, apart from her own parents, she just wants to live alone and die alone.
She's an outlier, and she's always known about that. And the problem is not with someone else, but with herself.
She is a problematic person, Zhou Ke always thinks so.
Because there is a problem, she will be out of place with the people around her, and because there is a problem, she will be excluded.
Zhou Ke has no friends, and people at school say she's a nerd.
The teacher thought her grades were excellent, but she had a communication barrier.
The strict parents only care if she gets a good grade on the test.
Gradually, she became what people expected her to be. Nerd, with excellent grades, but with a weird personality. There is no one who can say that he has a good relationship, not even a familiar classmate.
In this regard, Zhou Ke didn't feel anything bad, anyway, she was used to being alone.
A person can also live well, at least, she doesn't have to take care of other people's feelings anymore.
Casually took a bag of bread from the container, Zhou Ke was about to leave, but accidentally bumped into a person next to him.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
In front of Zhou Ke, three fancy-dressed girls frowned dissatisfiedly and said.
Looking at their appearance, Zhou Ke didn't want to be entangled, so he lowered his head and whispered, "Sorry, I didn't notice." β
With that, she was about to walk past the three of them.
But the next moment, the blonde girl, the leader of the three, turned sideways to block her way.
"Alas, an apology is over, my friend was almost injured by you, how do you have to make up for it?"
"What do you want to do?" Zhou Ke asked in a cold tone as he looked blankly at the three people who had surrounded him.
"Lose money. β
"I didn't bring any money. β
"Grass, what do you mean!?"
Hearing only a loud scolding, the blonde girl reached out and grabbed Zhou Ke's collar, and her face with good facial features became hideous.
"Entering the store without money, are you a fool to me?"
As for Zhou Ke, she always looked like she was resigned, as if she was not the one who was threatened.
"I really didn't have any money. β
"Didn't bring any money, okay. The blonde girl sneered angrily, lowered her head and put her face in front of Zhou Ke: "Wait until I strip you naked and throw you on the street, see if you bring any money." β
With that, she dragged Zhou Ke and walked towards the door.
Bad luck, isn't it?
Zhou Ke thought flatly in his heart.
She could almost have predicted what was going to happen next, she would be dragged into an alley, beaten badly, and then stripped naked and thrown on the side of the street somewhere.
But she didn't resist, because she knew that it was useless to resist, and it was better to be beaten obediently.
When they get tired, they will naturally leave.
Unfortunately, this time Zhou Ke still did not guess the direction of the development of the situation.
Before the blonde girl could lead her out of the store, another person had already stopped them.
"Guests, please wait a moment. You haven't checked out this item yet, have you?"
Looking at the voice, a few people found that it was an extremely handsome young man who spoke, and he was standing at the counter of the convenience store at this time, pointing to the bread in Zhou Ke's hand and said.
"If you want to take out the goods, can you pay first?"
This person, won't you look at the atmosphere?
This was the first thought in Zhou Ke's heart.
As for the blonde girl, when she saw the boy for the first time, she already showed a smile and leaned over to the counter and laughed.
"Little brother, why are you staying here alone, where are the adults in the family?"
At the same time, her gaze also wandered on Chu Yan's body recklessly.
Dad's, this face, this hand, this waist, why didn't you notice it when I entered the store just now, this is simply the best that my mother has never seen in her lifeΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
Thinking like this, the blonde girl's hand began to restless.
I saw that she slowly let go of Zhou Ke, and put her hand on the back of the young man's hand.
"My sister should still be working from home, and the boss is sleeping in the lounge. While answering the blonde's question, Chu Yan dodged her hand and walked out of the counter slowly.
"And, considering you're blackmailing other guests, I've called the police, and now the police should be on their way. β
As he spoke, he gestured to the phone on the counter that still showed communication.
"Attempted extortion shall be punished by a cash fine of not more than 2,000 yuan and not more than 300 yuan in accordance with the law, and depending on the seriousness of the circumstances, administrative detention of not less than 30 days but not more than 10 days. β
This is the information that Chu Yan consulted when he learned about common sense on the Internet, don't ask me why he found this, I don't know if you ask me.
"Now that you think about how you can confess your sins, you may be able to get some leniency. β
Standing calmly in front of the three thugs, Chu Yan thought that he had done everything well.
But he didn't take into account that the most striking characteristic of this kind of street gangster is that he likes to act impulsively.
So, after hearing that Chu Yan had called the police, the blonde woman's face turned red unexpectedly.
"Dad, you slut. β
She took a sharp step forward and punched Chu Yan in the cheek.
The other party's sudden attack was indeed something Chu Yan didn't expect.
But as a former professional MMA fighter, Chu Yan's ability to deal with emergencies cannot be ignored.
So much so, almost the next moment that the blonde threw her fist, he lowered his body, grabbed the opponent's wrist with his hand, and then turned around and threw her to the ground heavily.
"Hey. Calmly raising his legs in a long skirt, Chu Yan stepped on the blonde woman's body, then turned his head to look at Zhou Ke, turned his head sideways and said.
"Hide behind the counter and I'll take care of the rest. β
The summer breeze blew Chu Yan's hair, as well as the indigo skirt.
It is no exaggeration to say that at this moment, Zhou Ke feels that she has probably seen the color of this world again.
The color appeared on the young man's body, unassumingly, but cleanly blurring her vision.
It's like, an indigo wind.
Without any scruples, it woke her dreary summer.
