In June 2000, there was the only grove outside the gate of a very ordinary middle school in a county in North China.

It's lunch break now, and there are a lot of male and female junior high school students sitting together in twos and threes in the woods, chatting leisurely with each other.

At this time, the sun is extremely hot, and the heat is unbearable. But for this group of children who are about to go apart and may never see each other again in their lives, napping is obviously not important.

There is still more than half a month to go before the high school entrance examination, and at the first crossroads of their lives, they will usher in various turns.

Some people will go to high school to continue their studies, some people will casually mix in secondary school and enter society early, and some people will go directly to society, after all, the nine-year compulsory education has ended.

In a corner of the grove, a pair of boys and girls were sitting quietly, they were preparing for high school and good friends.

"Which high school do you think we should apply for?" The girl was sitting on a long branch, holding the trunk with both hands, shaking her feet, and calmly looking not far ahead.

As far as she could see, there was a pair of chirping birds in the trees over there.

The boy who was asked did not see any birds, because he was now intently looking at the girl who was talking.

The girl has a standard shoulder-length student head, a round face, and wears a white half-sleeve. Under the speckled sunlight that passes through the trees, it looks so pure and lovely!

The boy is a man who is not very expressive. Although I have had a crush on the girl for a long time, I have never dared to confess. Just looking at her like this, my heart is already very happy, and there is no other luxury, just that kind of pure love.

Hearing the girl's question, the boy was busy for a moment, grabbed his hair and smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, I don't know about this." Whatever, it's the same everywhere anyway. It's not that hard to get into high school now. ”

The girl frowned, turned her head to look at the boy, pouted and said, "How can it be the same? Our county No. 1 middle school is one of the top three high schools in the city, so of course the No. 1 middle school is given priority." None of the others are very good! Oh, by the way, I've heard that other high schools are messy. There's a phrase that sums up what those middle schools say, it's like one middle school, two middle school, three middle school, four or something..."

The girl kept muttering about it, tickling her cheeks with her cute little hands.

The boy was intoxicated by the girl's serious appearance.

With each change in the girl's expression, the boy's heart trembled. She is so cute and so pretty!

Seeing that I am about to take the high school entrance examination, I may not necessarily be admitted to the same school in the future. Even if you can be admitted to the same school, you may not be able to get into the same class.

Hey, will it become a luxury to be able to look at her quietly like this in the future? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

"Duan Qing!" Suddenly, an ugly roar came from afar, which made all this warmth change its taste. This sound startled the two of them, and they were quickly pulled back to reality.

The girl raised her head sharply, looked around in panic, and asked softly, "Who is calling me?" Guan Jiajie, did you hear me?"

The boy next to her also turned his head to look at the source of the sound, and what he had just heard seemed to be coming from the entrance to the grove across the road.

Sure enough, two people came from that side. With a cigarette in his mouth, he shook his way up, and his arrogant appearance looked like a gangster.

Both of them looked very old, less than twenty.

The boy who walked in front was not tall and belonged to the short stature, but he had long hair that covered his eyes, which looked very unsuitable. There is a pair of glasses on the bridge of the nose, and the face is full of pimples, and the overall feeling is unkempt, and it is annoying at first glance.

The boy who walked behind was taller than the former, and his thin face was skeletal as if he had been born malnourished.

The two of them giggled and walked towards the two of them, looking like they were walking with the wind.

When he was about to get closer, the person in front of him looked at the girl in a daze, and said with a big grin: "Sister Duan Qing, you will be admitted to the high school entrance examination soon." What are your plans after the exam? Brother is waiting for you for this long vacation, and I thank you for all the flowers you have been waiting for. Hahaha"

The boy in the back also cooperated with his friend, smiling and smoking, his eyes constantly scanning the girl. When I saw the girl's breasts, I instinctively grew my mouth and stopped all movements.

Duan Qing saw the person clearly, his eyes suddenly widened, and he jumped to the ground. glared at the two of them who looked like little gangsters, and said fiercely: "I don't know you well, I don't want to talk to you." Then he grabbed the corner of the boy's clothes behind him and said, "Guan Jiajie, let's go, ignore him." ”

Guan Jiajie is the boy next to the girl, he is 1.75 meters tall, but he is relatively thin.

Guan Jiajie saw the two people who came clearly and recognized them as seniors who were one year higher than him, who graduated last year. When he was in junior high school, they weren't very famous, plus he was a good student and didn't care much about the gangsters. I didn't know their names, and I didn't speak.

At this time, he felt Duan Qing's pull, so he also stood up.

Unexpectedly, before others could stand firmly, they were grabbed by the collar by the leading thug who had rushed to them.

"You stinky boy, what are you doing here, don't you see me talking to my sister?" the thug glared at him, although he looked up a little due to the difference in height, but it did not affect his ferocity in the slightest.

Guan Jiajie's heart trembled, and he hurriedly lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "I'm sorry, that... Then I'll go first. After saying that, he hurriedly turned around. At this time, he just wanted to leave as soon as possible, and after staying for a long time, he was afraid that his legs would be weak and he would not be able to walk for a while.

He was a very timid person, but because of his good academic performance, those bad students did not bully him because of the teacher's face, and sometimes the need to study.

Just now, after he accidentally looked at the fierce eyes of the little gangster, his heart kept pounding, and his body seemed to be shaking.

Duan Qing's little hand clasped his clothes, stomped his feet and shouted, "Guan Jiajie, don't be afraid of him, let's go together." ”

The little gangster stretched out a hand to block between the two, turned his head to look at Duan Qing, and said with a smile: "Sister Qing, what are you doing here?" Then his expression changed, "Huh, don't you like this cowardly boy? Believe it or not. As he spoke, he immediately raised his hand and threw it on Guan Jiajie's face very casually.

It was really casual! Because the little thug didn't even look at him the whole time.

Guan Jiajie has never been in a fight, and naturally he has never been beaten. At this time, I was already trembling with fear, and after receiving this slap, I didn't dare to speak, so I closed my eyes in fright, afraid that people would beat me again. At this time, he only felt that the fire on his face was very hot, but it did not hurt.

"See? hahaha" The little thug turned his head to look at his partner behind him, and the two laughed even more presumptuously.

"Ah!" Duan Qing roared, jumping to his feet angrily and shouting: "Lu Fan, you have the ability to fight Guan Jiajie alone, do you dare?"

The thug was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to have heard an extremely funny joke. Looking back at their companions, the two of them laughed out loud like a "haha", leaning back and closing their smiles, and there was a tendency to pull over if they were not careful.

Then the little gangster patted Guan Jiajie's face with the back of his hand, and shouted arrogantly: "Boy, did you hear me? My sister said, go it alone, do you dare?" still didn't look at him the whole time, but kept scanning Duan Qing's body up and down.

Duan Qing shook Guan Jiajie's arm vigorously, glared at him with tears in her eyes, and encouraged: "Guan Jiajie, it's okay, he's not as tall as you." Don't be afraid of him, hit him, quick!"

Guan Jiajie secretly raised his head and glanced at the boy in front of him. As Duan Qing said, the disgusting boy in front of him is indeed half a head shorter than himself, and if he really fights, maybe...

But he didn't know why, he just didn't dare to do it. I was still thinking that I could escape from this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, so I muttered, "Big brother, you can let us go." ”

Hahaha....

The wild laughter at this time attracted almost all the eyes in the grove.

Guan Jiajie's face felt even hotter, but it didn't hurt.

"Guan Jiajie, you, you, why are you so cowardly?" Duan Qing's anxious little eyes were red and he was about to cry, and he pointed at him tremblingly, unable to speak, shook off the corners of his clothes, turned around, and ran away.

Her girlish heart has completely seen through the cowardice in front of her, maybe it was just out of her own quality that she didn't open her mouth to scold him.

"Sister Qing, look at you, what are you running!" The little gangster named Lu Fan probably didn't expect the little girl to run away, and complained softly.

Then he turned around, and at the same time motioned for his companion to chase after him, and just took two steps.

"Stop!" Guan Jiajie didn't know where he got the courage and yelled.

His head was suddenly blank at this moment, and this roar was extremely ugly, not like a human voice, but a bit like the roar of a wild beast, I really don't know how he did it.

The two thugs hurriedly stopped, as if they were really startled, and hurriedly looked back behind them, and there was no one else here.

The nearest person was also more than twenty steps away, so there was only one person who could make such a deafening roar and scare them so much, and that was Guan Jiajie.

The cowardly boy who stood there with his fists clenched and glared at them, and didn't dare to bite when he was slapped in the face.

Lu Fan's eyes widened, as if he could breathe fire, and his anger was in full swing, and his teeth were clucking. He threw away the cigarette butt in his hand fiercely, and shouted and scolded as he walked back: "You yelled at your mother, I grass!"

"Smack!"

A loud slap was thrown in Guan Jiajie's face, followed by a kick that knocked him to the ground. Another thug also rushed up and kicked him twice, shouting, "Fuck you, it's really not okay if I don't hit you." ”

As soon as the two stopped, Guan Jiajie, who was lying on the ground, quickly stood up and took a step back. Now he felt his face hotter, but it still didn't hurt.

He clenched his teeth, stared at the two of them, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "I will take revenge!"
