Chapter 10: Self-defeating
Her straight hair swayed in the wind, and in the afterglow of the golden sunset, her slender figure lay diagonally on the pavement.
It was a while after school, and there were no students on campus except for the students on duty, and there was no other figure on the wide road leading to the school gate.
Lin An walked quickly to him and deliberately looked around, "Wait for me?"
Li Man closed the book he was reading, put it in his shoulder bag, and then raised his expressionless face and looked at Lin An.
The eyes were slightly narrow, and because of the tear mole at the corner of the eye, the eyes looked even colder.
Lin An coughed awkwardly, knowing that he and the other party were not "acquainted" at this time, but when he spoke, he unconsciously brought a hint of laughter, and he hurriedly asked again, "Are you looking for me?"
Li Man took out a coloring page magazine from his schoolbag and handed it to Lin An, his voice was cold, "I am the class leader, and I should ask for leave for the classmates in the class who are in a hurry." Moreover, that day I just told the teacher truthfully that you have no reason to skip class. ”
"Ahem~ Anyway, thank you very much. Lin An looked at the fashion magazine and persuaded, "I bought it all, I won't read it anyway." ”
Lin An's height soared for a period of time when he was tall, and now, his height is not much different from Li Man, standing on the low-lying ground, he only needs to look at it.
Li Manxiu frowned, looked at Lin An, and handed the magazine forward, "We are junior high school students and graduating students, do you think we should only focus on studying now!"
After a while, Lin An had to take the magazine.
"Next time, please don't do such a boring thing, instead of wasting time and money on messy things, it's better to review more, the high school entrance examination is not like relying on clever tricks to solve exercises. Li Man zipped up her schoolbag, her tone was calm as if she didn't have a little affection, she raised her head and glanced at Lin An with warning, then turned around and walked away, "If there is a note in the future, what ......?"
It's no wonder that Li Man thinks so, he only helps to ask for leave, and he graciously sends a "very expensive" magazine, simply saying that he is grateful, but Lin An himself doesn't believe it. However, in addition to this, he couldn't think of how he could "restore" the relationship with Li Man in his previous life, and originally thought that sending magazines was an opportunity to use the opportunity as an excuse to "get to know", after all, he was familiar with Li Man's preferences.
knew that Li Man had misunderstood, but he couldn't explain it. Lin An took a few steps behind, looking at the back of the ponytail hair swaying in the setting sun in front of him, he rolled the magazine in his hand in distress.
Walking out of the school gate, Lin An saw that Li Man was next to the stone pier in front of him, and was suddenly stopped by four boys. One of them was wearing the uniform of a neighboring town's middle school, and the other three were dressed in a flowing manner, looking a year or two older, and none of them were from the town.
In 2001, the wave of "Crazy Boys" set off by Hong Kong movies has not completely dissipated, and has become the object of imitation by many young people and even some students, which is also common in Lingshui Town.
It's okay during the day, especially at night for self-study, there are often a few idle young people squatting at the school gate, and there are also some students who have grievances in the school to find helpers to block each other.
There was also a period of time when "worshipping the son and forming brothers" was popular among the students, and several groups of people often dismantled the tables and stools to meet at the school gate after school in order to divide the mountain, and then discussed where to "fight".
The gangsters who come here to cause trouble are generally very discerning, know which students can be bullied and which students can't be provoked, and there have also been cases of being beaten by students uniting together.
Lin An didn't know about the other students, but he was sure that the entire Lingshui Town, whether it was a big gangster or a small gangster, would definitely not dare to provoke Li Man.
Last year, there was a town gangster who mixed well outside, came here to invite guests to dinner, drunk and dizzy, passing by the school gate and crashing into the school for evening self-study, he was drunk at the door, and he wanted to pull the girl with the intention of drinking, and the doorman came to stop him and was injured by three or two strokes.
Li Man happened to come out of school at that time, and when she saw her, others didn't see how she lifted her feet, and the gangster fell into the ditch next to her. The thug covered his legs in the ditch, climbed up while scolding, humming that he was going to call the little brother tomorrow to block people or something, but as soon as the person climbed up, he was kicked twice by her face, his front teeth were kicked out, and his mouth was bloody.
The next day, I didn't see the gangster who said he was going to take revenge, but I heard rumors from outsiders that the gangster crawled out of the ditch later, and as soon as he entered the town hospital, he was arrested by the police on the spot, including several gangsters who were involved with him, and they were all taken to the police station overnight to "attend classes".
Since then, it has been relatively rare for gangsters in society to come to the school gate to block people, and some exaggerated people have taken a detour intentionally or unintentionally when they see Li Man on the road. Lin An only learned many years later in his previous life that those people must have been warned. Li Man is so authoritative in the class, and it can be said that he has a little bit to do with this matter.
Therefore, Lin An was sure that such a blatant person who came to Li Manshi would definitely not be from Lingshui Town.
"Is that her?" stood in the middle of the road, a tall young man with dyed yellow hair. At this time, he had to wear a coat outside, and he raised the right cuff as if to show the tattoo on his arm. He shook his arm, turned his head and asked the boy in the school uniform standing at the end, and then turned back and said, "You are Li Man?! You know my brother, right?"
Li Man glanced over, and the boy in the school uniform opposite hurriedly avoided his gaze.
"Useless things!" The yellow-haired young man saw it, glared at the boy in the school uniform in annoyance, he then approached half a step and said loudly to Li Man, "My brother and his classmates came to Wan last time, just to get to know you and make friends with you, but he was pushed into the ditch by your school students, those people know you, and it's the same to find you! If you don't succeed, you can't do it, do you need to beat people?!What do you say you should do about this?"
Li Man waved his hand as if chasing flies, "Let me go, you're in my way." ”
The yellow-haired young man laughed angrily, he looked at the other two people who came with him, and turned to Li Man and said lightly, "That's it, we are the ones who came to push my brother on the day we came." You're a girl, and we won't embarrass you. Wait a minute, accompany us to dinner, apologize to my brother, forget about this matter, how about it?!"
Hearing the sound of footsteps behind her, Li Man saw that it was Lin An, and she frowned and turned her head again.
"Look at it, get out!" The yellow-haired young man saw Lin An approaching, he raised his fist in a threatening manner, and then went to pull Li Man's arm, "Don't let you suffer, I'll pay for the meal......"
Li Man took half a step back, shrunk her arm to avoid pulling, and saw Lin An, who didn't seem to hear the threat clearly, walking to her side, she glanced at it unexpectedly, and then looked at the yellow-haired young man with a cold gaze, "Do you want to die?"
Lin An stroked his tilted head and turned his back to Li Man to hold back a smile, and after a while, his shoulders shook and turned his head, seeing Li Man's expressionless side face, he couldn't help laughing.
This is Li Man's unchanging mantra for more than ten years. At first, when he heard this mantra, Lin An was startled, thinking that such a girl was too speechless, but after listening to it too much, he felt that such a girl had a bad personality, and when he got used to it later, when he heard this mantra again, it would only make him laugh.
A girl who looks soft and weak suddenly says something serious, anyone will be surprised, thinking that this is absolutely an illusion.
The four of them froze stupidly, looked at each other, and no one was sure if they had auditory hallucinations just now, and then Lin An next to them attracted their firepower.
"What are you laughing at, you T.M is sick?!What did I say just now, you didn't hear it!" Listening to Lin An's unbridled laughter, the yellow-haired young man's face turned purple, and he wanted to pull Li Man's hand again and turn to Lin An to grab it.
As soon as his hand was stretched out, he was pulled away by Lin An with a magazine rolled into a bucket, and the yellow-haired young man was in pain and replaced it with his other hand, but it was pulled away again, and the other two people standing in front of the boy in school uniform next to him rushed over together.
Lin An smashed the magazine into the face of the person who rushed first, and kicked his calf sideways, and when the second person rushed to him, he kicked the opponent's side leg with his toes.
The yellow-haired young man scolded, Lin An dodged sideways with elastic force, and when the yellow-haired young man's momentum couldn't contain his front, he grabbed the yellow-haired young man's wrist violently, and then clasped the elbow joint with his other hand and broke it down.
In the next second, the long-faced boy screamed in pain and half-knelt on the ground, being restrained by Lin An and unable to move.
From the yellow-haired young man doing it, to Lin An blocking one, putting one to one, and then easily subduing the yellow-haired youth, it was almost instantaneous, it looked like the two sides had rehearsed, and the scene was quiet.
The one who was kicked down limped up, and the other person also opened the magazine on his face and shouted at the boy in the school uniform.
Seeing this, Lin An's hand clasped the elbow joint, and the yellow-haired young man immediately screamed and fell to the ground softly, and the other hand slapped on the ground and begged for mercy, and the three people who wanted to rush up were stupid on the spot.
