The dining table is small, it is a table for four, it is impossible to sit another five.
Zhang Yao, a friend who dares to say this, is sure that everyone barely knows him, and he will not hit the smiling face with his hand.
But what everyone didn't expect was that Lu Zhihao was extremely tough. He put Shen Mei's hand on the table and said four words: "It's not convenient."
Old Comrade Lu was full of momentum, and the boys were startled, and their anger also rose a little. At this moment, the waiter who came out later brought out the small hot pot they ordered.
Four hot small hot pots with a fire underneath, plus a lot of shabu-shabu, the table was packed to the brim.
Just when they were interrupted, several basketball players seemed to have adjusted their emotions, and a boy started to smile at Shen Mei: "Xiaomei, let's have a meal together, let's order our own and not steal yours~"
As he spoke, he held a chair and squeezed between Shen Mei and Lu Zhihao.
Lin Zhaoxi walked behind the boy, took a sip of her drink, "Student, please let me go."
The boy moved away subconsciously, Lin Zhaoxi brushed past him, and sat down on the chair he had just placed.
The boy's face changed, but he still smiled: "Student~ Please get up, can't you see it, my buddy and others... you see, give someone a chance to sit together?"
Lin Zhaoxi glanced at Zhang Yao, who had a gloomy face and said nothing.
"But this is my position, why should I give it up to him?" Lin Zhaoxi said to the boy strangely.
"Isn't your place there?"
"Oh, that's right." Lin Zhaoxi stood up, picked up the empty chair, put it next to her seat, and then put schoolbags and everyone's coats on it, piled up like a hill.
"Student, you are losing face by doing this." The boy's voice dropped.
Lin Zhaoxi ignored him, but looked at Zhang Yao and said, "You are so boring."
In her memory, apart from showing his true nature when facing Lu Zhihao, Zhang Yao always restrained himself in front of Shen Mei, like a polite big brother.
But at this moment, I don't know what her words touched Zhang Yao's nerves, he stood up abruptly, kicked the hot pot table with a "bang", and yelled at Lin Zhaoxi: "You fucking meddle in your own business!" Is that enough?"
With this kick, the whole table slammed towards Lin Zhaoxi, and the hot hot pot instantly overturned.
Lin Zhaoxi backed away subconsciously, but the stove placed on the edge of the table in front of her fell down. In the nick of time, the instinctive reaction of human beings is to freeze. Lin Zhaoxi had no time to react. In the confusion, someone pulled her hard, and she fell to one side.
With a bang, the boiler and the iron pan on it hit the ground heavily.
There is a moment of tranquility in the small hot pot restaurant.
But then, screams sounded suddenly, Lin Zhaoxi's legs were so hot that Pei Zhi was the first to see.
Pei Zhi held her arm tightly, his expression serious and tense.
Just as Lin Zhaoxi was about to speak, Pei Zhi pulled her back a few steps. After standing still, she turned her head, and the ignited stove that was dropped just now barely landed on her toes.
The light blue solid alcohol in the stove spilled all over the floor and burned together with the fallen paper towels. The flames suddenly ignited, and the scene was extremely dangerous.
"Are you crazy?" Lin Zhaoxi finally regained consciousness and shouted at Zhang Yao.
Zhang Yao also seemed a little dazed, but when he heard this, he slapped him back.
At this moment, everything seemed to stand still.
Pei stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Yao's neck, grabbed Zhang Yao, and dragged him outside the shop.
After a few seconds.
The sound of his body colliding with the wall came from outside the store, Zhang Yao screamed, and the boy who followed him finally woke up like a dream, and rushed out like crazy.
The ground was in a mess, and the faces of the students staying in the store were still in shock. Lin Zhaoxi looked at the small hot pots burning on the other tables, and gradually calmed down.
Fighting in the store was too dangerous, so Pei Zhicai dragged people out, and it turned out to be Brother Pei who was extremely calm when beating up people.
She bent down, helped up the fallen stool, confirmed that the fire on the ground was extinguished, smoothed down the hair rope on her wrist, tied her hair into a small bun, and walked outside the store.
Long before her, Lu Zhihao had already rushed out of the store, but when she walked to the street, the wind blown her, and she felt that the surroundings were very quiet.
No fighting, no howling.
Zhang Yao and the other four boys had all fallen to the ground, and Pei Zhi looked down at them condescendingly. His lip was cut, and he was wiping away the oozing blood with the back of his hand.
— Unrestricted fighting requires the use of all means in the shortest time to knock down the opponent and make him lose his ability to resist.
Looking at the almost frozen picture in front of him, Lin Zhaoxi recalled the encyclopedia introduction he had seen when searching for keywords.
Across the astonished Lu Zhihao, Lin Zhaoxi looked at Pei Zhi.
The boy's eyes were calm but cold, which she had never seen before in her memory.
—
Anning City Wuchang Street Police Station.
Zhang Yao's behavior of kicking tables at a hot pot restaurant was vile, and customers called the police early on.
But they had no fighting experience. After Pei Zhi subdued them, they were still standing outside the shop, and the police from the police station took them back to the station together.
There is surveillance in the store, and the waiter also told the story of the incident. The police uncle asked about the whole process, which was very reasonable, and he didn't mean to hit 50 boards each.
Pei Zhi said very little from the beginning to the end, and at the end, even the policeman said: "You can't tell, young man, you are so gentle, you are so tough in a fight?"
Pei Zhi shook his head slightly, but said nothing.
The incandescent lamps were brightly lit, and the room was eerily quiet. Facing them, Zhang Yao and the others were all pale.
"Uncle policeman, when can we leave?" Lu Zhihao asked in a low voice.
"How do you go by yourself, the matter has not been resolved."
There were footsteps outside the door, the door swung open, and two men and two women appeared outside the door.
It looked like two couples, one of them Lin Zhaoxi knew each other, they were Lu Zhihao's parents.
"Dad, mom... Mom." Lu Zhihao stood up nervously.
Teacher Xu, Lu Zhihao's mother, had a tense face and said nothing.
Lu Zhihao's father yelled at his son, "Look at what you did, got into a fight and broke into the police station?"
"Dad... It's not me, they beat us." Lu Zhihao resisted obediently.
Another couple walked up to Shen Mei, who should be the girl's parents.
"what happened?"
Shen Mei's father is tall and burly, with a tight face, wearing a uniform, like a government official.
"Dad." The girl called out in a low voice, already panicking and not knowing what to do.
Seeing Shen's father and Shen Mei's reaction, Lin Zhaoxi probably guessed why Lu Zhihao had to keep their relationship a secret. Not all parents are like Lao Lin.
"Uncle and aunt, this matter has nothing to do with them. We were beaten when we were eating together." Lin Zhaoxi took a step forward and explained.
"Obviously you beat us!"
Father Shen found Zhang Yao standing in the corner early in the morning. Looking at Lu Zhihao and his daughter, his face darkened a few times, as if he had guessed something: "What's going on?"
"It has nothing to do with Shen Mei." Lin Zhaoxi said.
"It doesn't matter why, my buddy has liked Shen Mei for so many years, she turned around and fell in love with someone else!" the boy shouted, poking his neck.
"Shut up!" Zhang Yao yelled at his friend with veins on his forehead.
Hearing this, Father Shen turned his head and slapped Shen Mei with a "slap".
After the slap, the room was suddenly silent.
Shen Mei's eyes immediately filled with tears.
Lu Zhihao took a step forward: "Uncle, what are you doing?"
"Old Shen, don't be impulsive." Lu Zhihao's parents hurriedly advised.
"Hey, don't hit anyone, talk to the child if you have anything to say." The policeman also said.
"You are shameless and we want shame!" Father Shen scolded.
At this time, a few more parents came into the room, and after understanding the general situation, they also began to teach their children.
All of a sudden, the voices of insulting, persuading, and beating the children came one after another, and the room was in chaos. The voices of more than a dozen parents almost exploded into a ball.
Lin Zhaoxi got a headache from the noise, she tried to persuade her left and right, but from the corner of her eyes, she could only see Pei Zhi sitting quietly on the chair, as if she didn't care about everything that happened around her.
Lin Zhaoxi's heart tightened, all the parents of the students came, so what about Pei Zhi's
When she thought of this, she felt that suddenly, the whole room became quiet.
Someone is standing at the door.
It was a woman, with a printed silk scarf wrapped around her head and a loose gown because of chemotherapy. Even though she was so thin that only her skeleton was left, she still seriously put on makeup in order to go out.
Her lips were crimson red, but her high heels were completely black. Her eyes were cold and her aura was awe-inspiring. Everyone in the room was photographed by her aura, and they dared not show their air.
The chair rubbed against the ground, making a slight "squeak".
Pei Zhi stood up.
"I called your coach." Pei Zhi's mother's voice was very soft and weak.
Lin Zhaoxi came back to her senses, her heart tightened when she heard the words, she looked at Pei Zhi, but the boy just looked at his mother.
"What did the coach say?" Pei Zhi asked.
"The coach said that you had diarrhea during the exam today, and you didn't take it in the end, so you went to the hospital first."
Pei Zhi lowered his eyelashes and said nothing.
"But when I got the call, the police said you were fighting at the hot pot restaurant."
"And then?" Pei Zhi asked.
"Then I told your coach that something happened to you. If he hides it for you, I will let him die a miserable death."
Everyone's eyes fell on Pei Zhi, and everyone's expressions were full of doubts, as if they didn't know what was going on.
Pei Zhi looked up: "The coach is helping me lie."
"How about the jujitsu class on the weekend?"
"I've never been there."
"That's right, you're sweating profusely every time you come back, and you act like it."
She took a step, and her high heels hit the ground. She stood still in front of Pei Zhi and said, "Kneel down."
There was an uproar in the police station.
"Mother Pei, don't be angry, boy, it's normal to be suddenly angry."
"That's right, Pei Zhi's grades are so good..."
It was a scene of mother and child getting along that Lin Zhaoxi had never seen before. On one side were loud persuasive voices, and on the other side were mother and child who were extremely quiet.
Lin Zhaoxi finally knew what was the abnormality that Lao Lin noticed that night.
Next, everything is in slow motion.
She saw one of Pei Zhi's knees slightly bent, falling to the ground, then his hand, and the other knee. She saw the Pei Zhi she knew, under the watchful eyes of all the parents and classmates, standing in the police station like this In the hall, he landed on his knees and knelt down.
That was Pei Zhi, who was calm, peaceful, and always knew what he was going to do. She had liked Pei Zhi for many years.
Lin Zhaoxi looked at the boy's face and remained motionless.
"Great grades, a genius in Mathematical Olympiads, and I went to participate in the Mathematical League today, and it is very likely that I will enter the national winter camp and represent my country in the World Mathematical Olympiad?"
Pei Zhi's mother's voice was very soft, extremely weak, and there was no hint of anger in her voice, but every word and every word made people's hair stand on end.
"Such a child has been cheating on his seriously ill mother behind his back. Do you think you are worthy of other people's praise?"
"Not good enough."
"say sorry."
"sorry."
Pei Zhi knelt on the ground and said very calmly.
During the question and answer session, it was the most naked humiliation of a mother to her son. Everyone in the room showed their faces, and even Shen Mei's father, who had slapped his daughter with his backhand, was hesitant to say something.
"Our lawyers will handle the follow-up compensation matters on our behalf. I am very sorry about today's incident."
Mother Pei glanced coldly at everyone present, and then said to Pei Zhi: "Let's go."
Pei Zhi stood up and followed his mother.
The police chased after him.
Lu Zhihao woke up like a dream, and wanted to go forward frantically, but Lin Zhaoxi grabbed him.
"What are you doing?" Lu Zhihao yelled at her, "Lin Zhaoxi, his mother is crazy, help him!"
Lin Zhaoxi only felt that all the voices were buzzing in her ears, and she looked at Pei Zhi's leaving back.
Think of the boy looking at her calm eyes before leaving.
In fact, we have been together for a long time, and many words can be conveyed with a single look.
—Don't meddle, and tell Lu Zhihao not to meddle.
This was Pei Zhi's rare request to her, and his dignity probably wouldn't allow them to make a fuss over him.
She has to say yes.
"Mom, it's all for your own good."
In a trance, she seemed to hear someone say that.
