Chapter 16: Courage!
Yang Fan took Lan to enjoy a short but beautiful lunchtime, and on the way home, Lan on the side was chattering like a happy bird discussing what to eat at night. The carefree Lan seemed to infect Yang Fan, making him happy with his mood.
When he and Lan returned home, he didn't rush to the computer as usual, but sat on the sofa and began to think about his life.
It seems that because of the increase in intelligence, he is more sentimental and more thoughtful. For the first time, he began to think about his life.
There were too many negative book reviews, and he understood that he was still some way from signing a contract. At least he won't sign a contract for the short term, so it seems that he still has no income this month, although his mother said that he would give him living expenses, but thinking about his mother has not bought new clothes for a long time, there is always a sense of guilt in his heart. I have graduated from college, I should be independent, and I deserve to take my mother's money. And Brother Long supported himself so much, he was free of rent for a month, he didn't want to owe Brother Long. With the addition of Lan, a snack item, I became more and more shy.
"Lan, can you exchange points for money?" Thinking of the bridge of the golden finger novel in the usual novels, Yang Fan asked in a ghostly manner.
"Yes, but you have to be a two-star writer to start the points conversion system. Lan responded, then looked at Yang Fan cautiously and asked, "No money?"
"No, no, I'm just asking. "Yang Fan is now a 0-star author, and he is still 108,000 miles away from a two-star author. It seems that the method of exchanging points for money will not work.
"Then let's save a little... I'll eat less... Don't have any snacks in the future," Lan seemed to understand something, and she whispered like a little girl who had done something wrong.
"No, no, no, it's fine. Yang Fan looked at Lan like this, and felt uncomfortable, although he had only been in contact with Lan for a few days, Lan was irreplaceable in his heart.
He began to reflect on himself, if the work was written wonderfully, it has already been on the shelves now, if he was ruthless and reopened a book under Lan's suggestion, maybe the situation would be better, but life can't be repeated, getting a system is already an eye-opener, and it would be too greedy to want more.
It was already September, and it would be too late to wait for news if he went to look for a job, so he thought about it and decided to go out and see if there were any part-time jobs.
To be honest, he had thought about this kind of part-time job before, but in the end he gave up after holding on for less than a month. Not only because I was tired, but also because I couldn't stand the strange eyes of others.
He said hello to Lan, Lan pestered Yang Fan because of guilt, and swore that he would be able to give advice to Yang Fan, Yang Fan thought about it and agreed, so one big and one small, walked aimlessly on the bustling streets, looking for any odd jobs.
"Catch the thief. An anxious voice came.
Yang Fan turned his head to see that a fashionably dressed girl was calling for help, and a man with an obscene appearance and provocative ears was running towards Yang Fan with a snatched bag.
The thief had a shiny dagger stuck in his waist, and when he saw the dagger, most of the people who had heard the cry for help chose to retreat.
Yang Fan is naturally the kind of person who chooses to retreat, seeing that this kind of thing has nothing to do with his thin size, he lowered his head and prepared to make way for the thief with the murder weapon.
Lan opened his eyes wide, and asked loudly at Yang Fan's doubts, "Yang Fan, why don't you help catch the thief?"
Lan's questions echoed on the streets that had become quiet because of the thief's appearance, and countless eyes on the street stared at Yang Fan angrily. As if the thief was Yang Fan, Yang Fan felt the murderous gaze on the street, pulled Lan to signal him to calm down, and then prepared to flee with Lan.
"Please help me, he stole all the money from my store, and it's very important to me!" the woman's voice looked lonely and helpless. But no one stood up on the street, and countless stout men bowed their heads and pretended not to hear, ready to leave quietly.
"Hey, return the money to that young lady!" Lan easily broke free from Yang Fan, stuck his waist, and stood in front of the thief.
The thief looked carefully at the white-haired Lori in front of him, he grinned, no one dared to stand in front of him for a long time, and it was a little girl who looked fifteen or sixteen years old, but unfortunately, the thief took out a shiny dagger and said in the air.
"Little girl, don't get in the way, you think you're an anime character when you dye your hair white? Watch less cartoons, learn the rules of society, and don't meddle in things. ”
"Hmph, what kind of social rules, hurry up and return the money to that young lady. The noble Miss Lan does not tolerate such evil things happening. Lan said his second line seriously, which caused the thief to laugh wildly.
"Hahahaha, it seems that you have to leave a mark on your pretty little face, so that you can experience the sinister of society in advance. The thief man smirked, and the dagger in his hand moved closer to Lan's face.
"Fuck off. Yang Fan's roar came, only to see him struggling to lift the garbage can on the side of the road, and the garbage from the garbage can fell on Yang Fan without face, making him look graceless. He ran wildly towards the thief with a plastic trash can.
He screamed, and at this moment, the courage in his heart surpassed his own cowardice. He thought of all kinds of things about He Lan in his mind, his eyes became extremely firm, he only had Lan in his eyes, and he would never allow Lan to be hurt a little.
The thief was frightened by Yang Fan's move, Yang Fan took the trash can and desperately smashed the thief's head, he was very panicked, because the thief's dagger was still in his hand, in case the thief found the opportunity and stabbed himself, he might be brave and righteous. The panic and fear made him feel as if he was possessed by a strong man, and a mysterious force made the garbage can in his hand smash towards the thief more and more powerfully, and the thief was dizzy when he was smashed. The dagger in his hand was not held steadily, and fell to the ground.
Yang Fan didn't know how many times he smashed it, the plastic trash can in his hand had been smashed out of a big hole, leaving only the sound of the thief desperately begging for mercy, he stretched out his foot and kicked the dagger far away, and then put the trash can on the thief's head.
Then Yang Fan desperately pounced on Lan and hugged the white-haired little Lori tightly. Incoherently, he said with a crying voice, "It's okay." You okay. Did he hurt you, don't do this, don't let me worry about you. ”
The garbage covered in his body and his crying voice made Yang Fan look extremely embarrassed and funny, but no one on the street laughed.
Courage, no matter how he expresses it, he deserves everyone's respect, and there is no doubt that Yang Fan's courage deserves respect.
"Catch the thief. Several strong men saw that the thief had been smashed to a daze, and there was no murder weapon in their hands, under Yang Fan's ungraceful performance, it also aroused the courage and sense of justice that they had forgotten in their hearts, so four or five big men rushed up and pressed the thief under him.
"Hey, is it so embarrassing to catch a thief?" Lan said disdainfully, but her expression betrayed her, she let Yang Fan hold herself hard and did not resist, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "It's so stinky, it's really embarrassing." But I was impressed, a real man. ”
