Chapter 1: What Happened Before the Crossing

In July, the sultry season, on the eighth day of the first month, before you know it, the clock has gone to half past twelve.

Han Lie is staying at home alone, this year is the twentieth wedding anniversary of his parents, and a few days ago, the last day of June was the porcelain wedding anniversary.

So two days before Han Lie went home from vacation, his parents had already flown directly to Southeast Asia for their honeymoon.

These days, Han Lie's eating and drinking problems are all solved by himself, either by going to a restaurant, or directly buying something and going home.

Today is no exception.

He went into the kitchen, washed rice, cooked rice, washed and chopped vegetables, and prepared a hot and sour shredded potatoes and tomato egg soup for lunch.

Han Lie's craftsmanship is not bad, this kind of ordinary home-cooked food is still very quick to pick up, and the taste is barely okay.

This is all because when he was a child, his parents often couldn't take care of his home because of work, and he didn't have time to cook for him, so he slowly exercised like this, probably after the third year of junior high school, Han Lie was often responsible for lunch at home.

In about half an hour, one dish and one soup had been prepared, and the rice was cooked, and when Han Lie was about to start eating, the door suddenly "knocked".

Han Lie had no choice but to put down the dishes and chopsticks, walked to the security door with doubts, and asked as he opened the door, "Who?" Running in the middle of the day. ”

He had been at home for more than a week since he returned, and this was the first time anyone had knocked on his door.

When I opened the door, a beautiful figure popped out from the side, but it was a beautiful girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old, young and beautiful, with a ponytail, looking cute and charming.

She stretched out her hand to push Han Lie away, pushed the door in, and shouted at Han Lie with a coquettish snort in her mouth: "Han Lie, let me ask you, are you still my cousin!" ”

Han Lie suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and after closing the door, he turned around and said helplessly: "Rong Rong, I haven't seen you for a few months, why are you running here this time to go crazy?" I don't remember how I've provoked you lately, but if there's anything you want to do, what are you going to do? ”

It turned out that this girl was Han Lie's cousin, that is, the only daughter of his aunt, named Ji Rongrong.

Han Lie's mother has four brothers and sisters in her generation, his mother is the second, and his uncle has a son, who is older than Han Lie and is his cousin; The aunt has a son and a daughter, both of whom are a little younger than Han Lie; And my aunt got married a little late, and only gave birth to a daughter, Ji Rongrong, five years younger than Han Lie, and is studying in the first year of high school in the urban and provincial key middle schools this year.

Because she is the youngest girl in her generation, Ji Rongrong has been cared for by her elders since she was a child.

Especially Han Lie's mother, when he was a child, often said that he wanted a daughter, so he doted on Ji Rongrong very much, according to Ji Rongrong's own words: "Auntie, you are better than my own mother to me, I just love you to death." ”

Therefore, Han Lie never dared to offend his little cousin lightly, and he was helpless about her naughty nature.

He has suffered a lot, but it was not until he was admitted to the university and stayed away from his hometown for a long time that he could get rid of Ji Rongrong's clutches.

Unexpectedly, she came directly to the door when she went home.

Ji Rongrong showed an expression that counted your acquaintance, and then said with some gritted teeth: "Your cousin, I was bullied!" I want you to help me beat him! ”

Han Lie said in disbelief, "Did I hear me right? Since I was a child, it seems that you are the only one who bullies others, why are you also being bullied by others today? Who is so bold, and who is so capable of bullying you? Are you really looking for death...... Haha......" As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh a little.

Ji Rongrong's pretty face collapsed, and her clear eyes glared at Han Lie and said, "Han Lie, you are really not my cousin!" Make no mistake, I'm your sister! I was bullied outside! If you don't comfort me, forget it, and gloat! You bastard, I'm going to find my aunt to sue you! You actually bullied me too! Wait, you wait for your aunt to come back and see how she cleans you up......"

After saying that, she was furious, turned around and was about to slam the door and leave.

How dare Han Lie just let her go, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her arm and coaxed: "Rong Rong, good Rong Rong, my good sister, my brother is wrong, it's really wrong, you say, what the hell is going on, who dares to bully my little sister, say it, see if I don't go over and beat him to death!" ”

was pulled like this, and when she heard Han Lie's shameless flattery, Ji Rongrong didn't break free, and explained: "It's a little sister in my school class, named Lin Xinyan, who instructed her boyfriend to beat me and push me to the ground because her father was a policeman, you see... You see, here's the proof, my arms are still green......"

As she spoke, Ji Rongrong pulled up the sleeve of her shirt on her left arm, revealing a slightly green fingerprint on her forearm.

The girl's delicate skin looked white and red, looking at her pretty face with resentment and unwillingness, the wonderful touch of the tips of his fingers made Han Lie suddenly realize that his little cousin seemed to have grown up, he couldn't help but subconsciously let go of the palm that grabbed her, and felt some inexplicable strange feelings in his heart, a little rippling and ashamed.

Calming down, listening to what Ji Rongrong said seemed to be very aggrieved, Han Lie didn't dare to believe her words like that, stared at her, and stood silent.

Under Han Lie's gaze, Ji Rongrong had no choice but to shout impatiently: "Okay, okay, I admit it, it was my hand that moved first, and the thing started because I slapped her." But who called her is so hateful! Cousin, do you know, since I entered the school, she has been at odds with me, and I was ranked higher than her in the final exam, so she was not convinced, and ran to me to deliberately find fault, but scolded me and said that I was a wild seed raised by my mother without my father, and I was really angry that I beat her. Who knew that after school, she would take her boyfriend to block me outside the school! ”

Han Lie frowned when he heard this, his sister-in-law, that is, Ji Rongrong's father, died in a car accident as early as when she was three years old.

Sighing, he shook his head, gently stroked Ji Rongrong's long hair, and said, "That classmate of yours is indeed a bit excessive, I'll go to school with you in the afternoon and talk to the teacher." ”

Ji Rongrong said hatefully: "If it weren't for Lin Xinyan's boyfriend who learned taekwondo, I wouldn't have been able to beat him, and I wouldn't have come to you." You are not allowed to talk to the teacher, if you still treat me as your sister, you will go and beat her boyfriend for me, he not only pinched my arm so much that it hurts, but also pushed me on the ground to let others see jokes, I hate him to death! ”

After a pause, she waved her hand again and said, "That Lin Xinyan doesn't need you to deal with it, I can handle this little slut myself, I hate it most about men meddling in things between women!" ”

Han Lie smacked his lips and couldn't help but raise his hand to support his forehead, helpless by her extremely serious appearance and serious speech.

Seeing that Han Lie didn't answer, Ji Rongrong looked him up and down very impatiently, and said suspiciously: "If you can't do it, just talk, if you can't do it, if you can't talk about it, if you want to promise me, you have to make sure that you can beat Lin Xinyan's boyfriend!" Not only did he learn taekwondo, but he was also on the school basketball team, and he was over 1.8 meters tall. ”

Han Lie had no choice but to reply, "OK! ok! Then I'll take a look, and if he doesn't apologize, I'll teach him a lesson, and treat it as an outpouring of anger for you, which will always do. ”

Ji Rongrong stopped and said: "Talking is counted, you go over and wait outside in the afternoon, and after I call people out, you come over again, so as not to scare people away." That's how it was decided, I haven't eaten yet, I'll go home first, and you wait for my call. ”

Han Lie said: "Why are you going home, just eat here with me." ”

Ji Rongrong walked outside the door, turned around and grimaced, stuck out her tongue and said, "Who wants to eat your five-point vegetable and five-point oil craftsmanship, I don't want to become a fat girl!" ”

Han Lie smiled, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go, I won't hear a good word come out of your mouth!" ”

After going downstairs, Ji Rongrong's shout came up again: "Remember not to turn off the phone, listen to the phone!" ”

……

At four o'clock in the afternoon, in the city No. 1 Middle School, in the small bamboo forest on the west side of the playground.

Han Lie stood behind Ji Rongrong with his hands outstretched, and there was a gray-faced boy wearing a T-shirt and shorts lying on the ground, with a little shame and fear on his slightly thin face.

Behind the boy was a tall girl with short black hair and an expression of anger and fear.

The beautiful girl in front of her who has a slightly stiff facial line, but does not lose her feminine charm, is Ji Rongrong's classmate and opponent, Lin Xinyan.

She was dressed with a bit of ruffianism, but after being frightened at this time, she still looked unruly, glanced at Han Lie, and then glanced at the boy who was still lying on the ground rubbing her shoulders, Lin Xinyan forced herself to keep her composure, and asked Ji Rongrong: "Okay!" I'll admit that your boyfriend is very skilled! So what do you want to do now? ”

Ji Rongrong stepped forward, approached Lin Xinyan's face, and raised her hand to fight.

Lin Xinyan closed her eyes involuntarily, but she didn't dodge, just stood there, and after a while, she didn't feel the slap falling, and opened her eyes with some confusion.

saw Ji Rongrong clapping her hands, pursing her lips and disdainfully: "Do you think I'm the same as you?" Hmph, it's not right for you to talk nonsense and scold me, but I also hit you, this guy bullied me, but he was also taught a lesson by my cousin. I sue you, don't always look for men to support you, we women's own affairs, just solve them by ourselves! ”

Lin Xinyan looked at Han Lie with some surprise: "He's not your boyfriend?" Is it your cousin? ”

Ji Rongrong pursed her lips and said helplessly: "Are you stupid, of course he is my brother, you think everyone is like you, always looking for some boyfriends who don't know the so-called, it's inexplicable, it's less than a year after entering school, I saw you change three boyfriends, it's purely sick." ”

Lin Xinyan's face flushed slightly, and she replied with some shame: "Yes!" It's like a block of ice like you normally do, right? It's a sophomore year of high school and I haven't spoken to a boy yet! ”

Ji Rongrong was angry, a little indignant: "What do you have to say to those stinky boys!" You idiot! ”

Lin Xinyan retorted angrily: "You are a neurotic, what kind of noble and glamorous pretend, purely an autistic patient!" ”

Seeing that the two girls were about to start fighting again, Han Lie lost the mind to watch the show, and immediately stepped forward, separated the two, and said to Ji Rongrong: "Okay, Rongrong, don't argue." ”

Then, he swept Lin Xinyan up and down, and said with a smile: "Lin Xinyan, right, I'm Ji Rongrong's cousin Han Lie, I don't want to mix the contradictions between you, but I hope you try not to hurt people in the future." Rong Rong's personality may be more introverted, this is because of the accident at home when she was a child, not because she was born like that, I say this, can you understand? ”

Ji Rongrong shouted unhappily: "Hey! What are you doing with her! Just go back if it's okay, you won't be needed here. ”

Han Lie smiled bitterly and waved his hand, so he had to compromise: "Okay, okay, then I'll go back first, and you can call me if you have something." ”

Raising his foot and about to leave, Han Lie suddenly turned around and said to the boy on the ground: "I didn't use any real strength, you just broke a little skin, just get up and rub some medicine if it's okay." If you know that it hurts, don't do it to girls casually in the future, you know? ”

The boy nodded hurriedly and replied with some cringe: "Know...... Got it...... I won't bully Ji Rongrong again in the future. ”

Although this boy looks tall and strong, he is just an ordinary middle school student with a relatively strong physique, where is Han Lie's opponent.

Admitted to the university for more than two years, Han Lie didn't learn anything else, but followed the president of the school's martial arts club, but practiced a good kung fu, the president practiced the family heirloom five-form boxing, it is said that the ancestor and the famous Nan Shaolin had something to do with it.

In modern society, martial arts are in decline, and the view of the portal has long been put aside, seeing that Han Lie really wants to learn, the president taught him the true biography, Han Lie is also talented, plus long-term diligent practice.

Now his level, according to the president, put it a hundred years ago, he was a disciple who could support the door, and he pressed the boy to the ground with two random strokes.

But this kind of expression, in the eyes of Lin Xinyan on the side, is a proof of the boy's incompetence.

So she went straight away, and her suppressed feelings couldn't help but pop up, and she shouted angrily at the boy: "Cheng Jiaming, you are really useless!" Don't talk to me again, we'll blow it! ”

After finishing speaking, she turned around and ran away directly, ignoring Ji Rongrong and Han Lie on the side.

The poor boy on the ground hurriedly got up, called her name, and chased after her.

Han Lie shook his head and thought to himself, "It's still a group of students, just children who haven't grown up, it's a wonderful age, it's a pity that I will never be able to go back." ”

At this time, the class bell rang, and Han Lie nodded to Ji Rongrong and said, "Okay, it's done, I'll leave first, you go back to class." ”

Ji Rongrong said "um": "Cousin, thank you." ”

Han Lie laughed and rubbed Ji Rongrong's hair: "My family, say thank you, I know that you are definitely not as lively as at home at school, but if possible, let's make more friends, I think this Lin Xinyan is not bad, like you, the little girl is actually not bad in her heart." ”

Ji Rongrong's face froze, and then she became angry: "Who is the same as her!" You don't talk nonsense, don't worry about my nosy, I won't look for her if I make friends with anyone! Let's go! ”

Han Lie smiled: "Okay, okay, I'll leave now, but I'll still build you, try it according to what I said, try to get to know others, let others understand you, maybe, you will gain a very precious friendship!" Okay, that's it, you go to class, I'll go back, I'll call again if there's something, bye-bye. ”

Looking at Han Lie's fading back, Ji Rongrong bit her lip, frowned and turned around and walked towards the teaching building......
