The girls were strolling along the way. They were used to walking hand in hand, and gathered together to pick out small bracelets and other things. The two pretty girls in the front were close to each other and seemed to be very good friends, talking and laughing.
Wang Bing whispered, "That girl is Jiang Yuan, my deskmate, and she's also our class study committee member and the most beautiful girl in the class!" He said to Mi Yang happily, then looked Mi Yang up and down warily and told him, "Let me make a promise first, you can't snatch her from me."
Mi Yang nodded and said, "No."
He was still looking in the direction of the girls. Wang Bing looked in the direction and said, "Are you attracted to the girl with a ponytail next to Jiang Yuan? It's useless. Her name is Yang Liuqing. She's number one in the school. She has good grades and is pretty. She's very proud."
As they were talking, several girls came over to them. When they got closer, Wang Bing spoke first: "Hey, Jiang Yuanyuan!"
The girl with pigtails was shy and said to him, "Don't yell."
When Wang Bing heard her nickname that time, he always liked to call her that, as if the two of them were particularly close. With a little thought of his own, he felt sweet in his heart when he called her by that repeated nickname.
A few girls nearby came over to talk quietly and laughed for a while. Jiang Yuan angrily chased them and hit them twice, blushing and saying, "What are you talking about? I'm not friends with him!"
Wang Bing only heard the last few words and asked, "What? Who's good?"
Jiang Yuan said: "Everyone is good, except you."
Wang Bing was thick-skinned and had already squeezed through without a care. He walked side by side with Jiang Yuan and the other girls, protecting them while asking, "Hey, what are you buying today? I saw some new song tapes over there. Didn't you say you wanted to listen to some music last time? Can I take you there?"
Jiang Yuan said: "Well, is there any by Richie Jen? He is my favorite."
Wang Bing said: "Are you kidding me? Richie Jen is so ugly!!"
Jiang Yuan angrily said: "You are ugly, you are not allowed to insult my idol!"
Wang Bing said: "Okay, actually I also think Richie Jen is okay, I even learned a song of his, I'll sing it to you! I want you to accompany me and watch the turtle swimming in the water~"
"It's ugly! You are not allowed to sing Xiao Qi's songs!"
"Crawling slowly on the beach, counting the waves~~"
…
Jiang Yuan was pretty nice to this deskmate. Mi Yang was listening on the side. She was asking Wang Bing how much homework he had done and whether he had finished the test paper.
Wang Bing always felt overwhelmed when talking about studying, but now he actually listened carefully without his mother having to force him to learn. He even recited an English composition to Jiang Yuan.
Mi Yang was amazed by what he saw. The power of love is indeed great.
The other girls saw Mi Yang following them all the way and were curious about him. Yang Liuqing was walking beside Jiang Yuan. The two of them were originally walking arm in arm, but when Wang Bing passed by, he squeezed to the other side to be next to Jiang Yuan, and she and Mi Yang walked side by side.
She looked at Mi Yang with some curiosity and asked him, "Are you also a student of our school, a transfer student?"
Mi Yang shook his head and said, "No, my grandma's house is here, and I came here to spend the summer vacation."
Yang Liuqing nodded, and whispered to him for a few more words, introducing each other. Seeing Mi Yang staring at her, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you also think my reputation is strange?"
Mi Yang said: "Hmm?"
Yang Liuqing sighed and said, "I didn't mean to be poetic. My father works at the Yangliuqing New Year woodcut painting shop in Jinshi, and his last name just happened to be Yang, so he gave me this name."
As cheerful and down-to-earth as before, Mi Yang laughed when he heard it.
He and Yang Liuqing said the same thing when they first met, but they were classmates at the time and had a better relationship. Miss Yang rolled her eyes and said it to him, word for word, complaining about her father the whole time, saying that the name didn't match her personality at all. Her personality and temper haven't changed at all over the years, she is a bit smart, but also very impetuous and aggressive.
Mi Yang remembered that she went to the city to study in high school, and her grades were still good, but she made the most common mistake for a little girl. She fell in love with a boy and wrote him a subtle love letter. She didn't sign her name, but only drew a heart. But she handed it to the boy she liked in person, solemnly handing over her first little love. But the boy was not a good guy. He showed off the letter from the boys' dormitory to the teacher. The school held a meeting to criticize premature love by name, read the letter in front of all the teachers and students in the school, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Please trouble this 'loving' student to go to the teaching office for another punishment. You have lost the face of the school!"
Yang Liuqing sat in the classroom, her pretty face drained of all color, and she felt that she had lost all face.
The boy was afraid of being punished, so he wrote a self-criticism in the dormitory, trying to completely shirk his responsibility.
Mi Yang couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he stopped him and said that he wrote it.
The truth is no longer important. The school just wants to set rules and ask someone to come out and admit his mistake.
Mi Yang admitted her mistake.
Jiang Yuan could not drop out of school. Her family was actually not well off, and she lived with only her father. She was also very proud and arrogant. Such an incident could completely overwhelm a teenage girl and make her unable to raise her head. Public opinion alone made it impossible for her to stay in school.
Mi Yang has many cousins in his family, and he has always been taught by his elders to take care of girls. He believes that all girls should be respected, so he stood up and helped her.
As a result, he was given a minor demerit and had to write a 5,000-word self-criticism. When the disciplinary office asked him the girl's name, Mi Yang refused to tell them. When asked how long they had been dating, Mi Yang just scratched his chin and said vaguely, "About a week?"
Although it was not mentioned, many people knew that it was related to Yang Liuqing. The boyfriend who had been dating for a week thought that he could not continue to be in the same class with her, so Mi Yang was transferred to another class. Then, in that class, he met Bai Luochuan.
Young Master Bai had just transferred here at that time and had only studied in high school in Shanhai Town for more than a year. He stayed here because Old Master Bai was in poor health and he came here specifically to keep the old man company.
As soon as Mi Yang transferred to that class, he was targeted by Bai Luochuan.
…
Thinking of this, Mi Yang's expression became complicated when he looked at Yang Liuqing. He had some feelings for this smart and beautiful girl, but only as a classmate. Mi Yang took the blame and became her "boyfriend" for just a week. When she graduated from high school, she half-jokingly said that if she was not married by the time she was 30, she would just live with Mi Yang.
Mi Yang just smiled at the time. This kind of sad literature was popular in those years, and there were a lot of young girls who said such things. He didn't take it to heart at all.
After he graduated, he returned to Lu City. They met once when Yang Liuqing went home to visit relatives. They simply drank a cup of coffee, chatted for a few minutes about their recent life, and then went their separate ways.
When we met again, it was at Bai Luochuan's "engagement" party.
Mi Yang felt a little uncomfortable.
When Yang Liuqing was talking to him, he lost interest in answering. He just nodded vaguely a few times and said to Wang Bing, "I don't think there are any books here. I'll go back first."
Wang Bing couldn't tell that he wanted to leave, so he pulled him and said, "Come together, there is strength in numbers, we will help you find it together."
Wang Bing said this and went to chat with Jiang Yuan again. He was learning Cantonese songs with great enthusiasm. His voice was completely hoarse due to his voice change period, which made Jiang Yuan and the other girls laugh.
Boys at this age can do silly things just to get a girl's attention.
Zhao Haisheng finished watching the circus, bought some things and squeezed over. Seeing Wang Bing being as attentive as a clown, he said in a low voice, "Poor, poor, but you still show off."
Mi Yang: “Hmm?”
Zhao Haisheng stuttered a little and tried to say, "I was looking at her. I fell in love with her and wanted to chase her, but I couldn't catch up with her." He concluded, "He could do all kinds of stupid things, like playing with monkeys."
Zhao Haisheng followed him and said with sympathy: "It's better to be honest and speak directly."
Mi Yang looked at Wang Bing, who was smiling and raising his eyebrows in anger. Something seemed to flash through his mind, but it was too fast and he didn't catch it.
At this time, a car horn sounded from the main street ahead. It was very short, just to remind the other party, mixed with bursts of muffled vibrations from car engines. Just by listening to the noise, one could tell the embarrassment of the car being trapped on the street and unable to move.
Wang Bing said, "Who is stupid..." Jiang Yuan looked at him and he changed his words carefully, "A stupid person drove the car here today. The traffic here is very bad. The main street is wide but there are many people. It took more than half an hour to drive away."
Mi Yang looked up and saw a familiar black Mercedes-Benz moving slowly like a turtle. Even from a distance, he could imagine the frowning face of Master Bai, who must have been unable to hold back his anger.
Mi Yang wanted to go over, but when he looked at Yang Liuqing in front of him with curious eyes, he stopped.
Mi Yang just stood there and suddenly thought of a question - the person Bai Luochuan likes is her, right
At the beginning, Bai Shao was engaged to her.
Mi Yang stopped and stood there without moving.
He didn't leave, and Zhao Haisheng next to him almost bumped into him, exclaimed "Ouch", and asked, "What, what happened?"
When Wang Bing heard this, he turned around and put his arm around Mi Yang's shoulder, acting like a good brother to him. He was probably in a good mood after chatting with Jiang Yuan, and said with a smile: "Hey, what are you looking at? You haven't moved for a long time, let me take a look too."
Mi Yang looked down at a row of clay figurines placed on the wooden table next to him and said casually, "This one looks interesting." He picked one up and looked at it carefully, not planning to leave.
Wang Bing also moved closer and said, "Let me take a look. It seems pretty good. Do you think girls like this? How about this little rabbit? There's a flower on its head..."
Before he finished speaking, the rabbit in his hand was taken away. Bai Luochuan stood aside and said, "I bought it."
Wang Bing was about to curse, but he looked at the girl not far away and held back, rolling his eyes and saying, "There are so many on the table, why did you have to buy the one in my hand?"
Bai Luochuan took out his wallet from his pocket, pulled out two large bills, and said, "I want all of these."
Mi Yang subconsciously wanted to hold down the person next to him, but Wang Bing couldn't hold him down anymore. He stiffened his neck and cursed, "It's not a big deal to be rich!"
Bai Luochuan raised his eyes to look at him and said indifferently, "Not bad."
The boss was happy to do business, and had already packed it in a large cardboard box for him, and also gave him a particularly sturdy bag for easy carrying. Bai Luochuan followed Mi Yang with the bag, and whenever Mi Yang stopped, he would buy anything he touched with a cold face, so that Mi Yang didn't dare to stay at the stall for too long, but when he left, Master Bai would follow with a dark face.
Bai Luochuan didn't speak, and Mi Yang didn't dare to speak either.
The two of them were as silent as saw-mouthed gourds, especially Young Master Bai, who looked unhappy. The boys and girls around them didn't dare to ask questions casually, and the atmosphere became a little cold for a while.
Bai Luochuan walked with them all the way. It was not known whether it was because there were too many people on the street or because he walked too fast, but in just a few steps he had pushed aside the people around Mi Yang and walked side by side with Mi Yang. He even held Mi Yang's shoulder while avoiding the crowd and walked two quick steps together. He brought Mi Yang close to him without leaving any trace, separating him from the young people next to him.
Wang Bing was not happy about this, so he caught up with him and asked, "What do you mean?"
Bai Luochuan grabbed Mi Yang's wrist and said in a deep voice, "Ignore him."
Wang Bing was delighted and said, "I'm talking to you!"
Bai Luochuan said, "I have nothing to talk to you about." He saw Mi Yang slow down and immediately grabbed his wrist and threatened, "How many days have you not come to see me? Think about it yourself."
Mi Yang was a little timid: "A little busy."
Bai Luochuan sneered and said unceremoniously: "I called you several times, and each time you said you were busy. I thought you had something important to do. But when I went to your grandma's house this time, I found out that you were busy shopping with someone else."
Wang Bing was dissatisfied: "How can it be considered a serious matter to come out shopping with us? Mi Yang, tell me yourself, do you want to play with us?"
Mi Yang was a little hesitant, Bai Luochuan grabbed his hand tightly, lowered his voice and said angrily: "Be good and don't make me angry."
Wang Bing sneered at the side: "Yes, the young master came up and put pressure on others, isn't it his usual method?"
Mi Yang asked tentatively: "Have you two met before?"
Bai Luochuan said briefly, not even bothering to look at Wang Bing: "They have bad character."
"You are the one with bad character!" Wang Bing exploded. "Who are you talking about? If you have the guts, go out and fight. Whoever doesn't come is a grandson!"
Bai Luochuan sneered, "You guys didn't learn your lesson from the beating you got last time, right?"
As soon as the two met, they started arguing with each other, neither of them giving in, and it seemed that they were about to fight.
Mi Yang stood in the middle and heard something. He frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Bai Luochuan refused to say anything and insisted that he go with him first.
Mi Yang looked at Wang Bing's face flushed with shame after hearing his words, and felt a little sympathetic. He hesitated and said, "I'll wait a while before leaving."
Bai Luochuan was so angry that his face turned black.
Wang Bing felt that Mi Yang had saved his face again, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He found that as long as he provoked Mi Yang, the young master Bai, who never lost in anything, would easily get angry. He immediately stretched out his hand on Mi Yang's shoulder and said, "Yes, we are good brothers, so you are allowed to be friends with Mi Yang? To be honest, my family is a distant relative of Grandma Cheng's family, so what are you!"
Bai Luochuan pursed his lips and looked at Mi Yang: "Really not leaving?"
Mi Yang said: "I'll come to see you this afternoon."
Bai Luochuan left without looking back.
Mi Yang felt a little uncomfortable watching his back. Wang Bing even whistled to make trouble. As soon as he whistled once, Mi Yang hit him in the stomach with his elbow. He even got a stitch in the side. Mi Yang frowned and said, "That's enough."
Wang Bing hummed a song and said, "You don't know, he used to be so arrogant, it was simply..." He raised his head to see the girls choosing trinkets on the other side, and then lowered his voice and said, "He is simply ten Yang Liuqings, no, ten school beauties put together are not as arrogant as him, so annoying!"
Mi Yang felt something was wrong and asked Wang Bing, "What happened to you guys before?"
Wang Bing said: "What else can it be? He is the young master who looks down on others and bullies us country bumpkins!"
Mi Yang shook his head and said, "Impossible, he is not that kind of person, there must be a reason."
Wang Bing said impatiently: "There don't need to be so many reasons. He was already bullying us when I went there. We said a few words to him and he even accused us of stealing. His attitude was very bad. How could we steal his things? There hasn't been a thief in Shanhai Town for many years. Everyone knows each other." Wang Bing's face was not looking good either.
Mi Yang frowned, thinking that this was just one-sided. In his heart, he still trusted Bai Luochuan more, but Bai Luochuan had never told him about these things, which made him a little unsure. After hesitating for a moment, he immediately said, "I'll go for a while, you guys go shopping."
Wang Bing saw the girls also heading towards the intersection, and immediately said, "I'll go out with you and take you home."
Mi Yang walked through the crowd with big strides, and the more he thought about it, the more strange it seemed.
He came out of the crowd with Wang Bing and his men. As soon as they reached the intersection, they saw Bai Luochuan's car.
Mi Yang hesitated for a moment, went over and knocked on the car window. Young Master Bai rolled down the window and looked up at him, and it was obvious that he was still angry.
Bai Luochuan said stiffly: "You come back with me today, and I'll take you to the city tomorrow. Grandpa is going to see a calligraphy and painting exhibition, so take us with you."
Mi Yang's heart softened. Master Bai still remembered that he liked calligraphy. His eyes softened a lot and he whispered, "I'll go over there in a while. I have to tell grandma first..."
Wang Bing came over and said carelessly: "Mi Yang, didn't Grandma Cheng tell us to take you to the mountains to play? Don't you want to go fishing? I'll take you. It's better to do it today than tomorrow!"
Bai Luochuan's eyes turned cold, and he looked at the curve on his lips that had just risen and then retracted it: "You want to go play with them?"
Mi Yang felt a severe headache, and just as he was about to explain, he saw Bai Luochuan take out a box from the car, open it, take out a new mobile phone from it, and put it in his hand, saying: "Here, didn't we all rank among the top five in the school in the last high school entrance examination? This is a reward."
Mi Yang was stunned for a moment and said, "No, my phone is still usable."
Bai Luochuan said, "Your Aunt Cheng has been using it for several years. Besides, there is no game on the phone. This one can be used for skiing and surfing the Internet. Take it."
Mi Yang didn't take it, and refused, "I can't accept this."
Bai Luochuan had held out his hand for a long time, and he became impatient. He stuffed it into his hand and said, "It's just a broken phone, just take it. Why are you being so stubborn with me?"
Mi Yang's soft heart just now was shattered in front of this phone. He closed his eyes and tried to make his tone more stable, "Really, no need, really, I have a phone."
Bai Luochuan didn't listen to his explanation, stuffed the phone into his hand, and urged him to get in the car. Mi Yang took two steps forward and threw the phone onto the seat through the car window. Bai Luochuan was so angry that he wanted to push the door open to get out, but the rear door was locked. He was so angry that he hammered it twice and said to the driver, "Open the door!"
By the time the driver locked the car door, Mi Yang had already left without even turning his head or looking at him.
Bai Luochuan rubbed his brows, holding back his anger and not getting out of the car to chase after him. He said to the driver in a cold voice, "Let's go back to the old house."
The driver responded and drove away tremblingly.
Bai Luochuan felt that he had already exceeded his bottom line in treating Mi Yang, and he had been tolerant of her again and again.
He sat in the car with headphones in his ears, silent, his brows furrowed for a while. The cell phone that was thrown in was still lying on the seat, and he didn't even touch it.
After getting off the bus, Master Bai took two steps, then turned back and took out the identical phone in his pocket, took out the card, threw the new phone in the same place, and said to the driver: "I don't want them anymore, you throw them away."
After saying that, he turned and left.
The driver stood there in a daze for a moment, then turned his head to look at the two mobile phones, both of which were the latest models, with a market value of two to three thousand. He hesitated for a moment, still put the two mobile phones in a box and sent them in together with several large bags of miscellaneous gadgets bought on the street.
On the other side, Mi Yang still took Wang Bing's bicycle and went back with them.
Wang Bing probably saw Mi Yang reject Bai Luochuan's expensive gift and gave him a thumbs up, repeatedly indicating that their small group accepted him.
Wang Bing said, "We didn't get along with this young master at first. He looked down on us. We even had a fight with him. You don't know how powerful this young master is. He can even make a dead person come alive. He just saw that we were poor and lied to us, saying that we stole something and deliberately bullied us..."
Mi Yang immediately denied it behind him: "Impossible."
Wang Bing said, "What's impossible? The man he bullied was Zhao Haisheng's cousin. How honest is Zhao Haisheng? You haven't seen his cousin, right? He's as honest and simple-minded as he is. It's impossible for him to steal someone's things!"
Mi Yang said: "Bring that person with you, and we will confront him face to face."
Wang Bing felt embarrassed: "This is not good, he is my brother's younger brother..."
Mi Yang said seriously: "If you don't go, I will tell others that you smoke fake cigarettes."
Wang Bing: “!!”
Wang Bing said angrily: "Didn't you say before that you wouldn't tell anyone?"
Mi Yang was also angry: "You didn't tell me that you had a fight with him!"
Wang Bing was even angrier, and couldn't even ride his bike steadily, bumping and banging forward: "Is that a fight? Several of us almost had our arms broken by him. You don't know how insidious that Bai is. It would have been fine if he'd just kicked me in the back, but when he used his fists he specifically hit me in the face. When I got home I had to say I fell off a mountain and hit my face on a rock!" He was indignant and still holds a grudge to this day, "I didn't dare go out for half a month because of the beating, and my face was swollen!!"
Mi Yang narrowed his eyes and said, "How many of you want to beat him together?"
Wang Bing was a little embarrassed, and said with his neck stiff, "It was one-on-one at the beginning. He said so himself. Let's do it together."
Mi Yang sneered: "You two are going to fight together?"
Wang Bing said: "No, we took turns."
Mi Yang: “…”
Round-robin battle, shameless.
Wang Bing asked cautiously: "Are you cursing me in your heart?"
Mi Yang rubbed his brows, and after a long while he let out a breath, saying: "Anyway, you call the person out, I will call Bai Luochuan out too, and explain it to him face to face. He is not that kind of person, and I am not just saying that you stole things, there must be an explanation. Do you still want to be wronged like this for the rest of your life?"
Although Wang Bing was not very happy, he could only reluctantly say, "Okay."
