Parallel Lines of Rebirth

Chapter 158: Hiking

Views:

Both sides of the path in front of the laboratory building are lined with evergreen holly trees. In the rectangular flowerbeds surrounded by the holly trees are a variety of flowers that bloom only in this season, including camellia, chrysanthemum, nasturtium, cyclamen, poinsettia, etc. The red, orange, yellow and green colors, along with the bleak autumn wind, embellish the beautiful No. 1 Middle School campus. The two came down from the rooftop, stood beside the holly tree and smiled at each other, then walked along the path to the cafeteria in two different ways, like underground workers. With Ji Su's personality, she didn't care about other people's gossip, but she also knew that Wen Liang was doing it for her own good. After taking a few steps, she suddenly turned around, smiled sweetly at Wen Liang's back, and said loudly: "See you in the afternoon, new deskmate!"

Wen Liang was not used to this title for a while. He stopped and paused for a moment. Then, with a smile on his face, he raised his right hand and waved, then strode forward without looking back.

New deskmate, this is a good name.

Ren Yi was found in the cafeteria, talking to Liu Zhihe with great excitement. After this period of contact, Ren Yi no longer had the deep respect for the former godfather of Minghua Middle School. He could occasionally make a few jokes, but of course, the intensity and scale could not be compared with when he was insulting Wen Liang. Wen Liang quietly walked over with his bowl in hand, listened with his ears perked up, and immediately frowned, not knowing what to say.

"… Do you know what I said at that time? I said, Brother Wen, a stunning beauty has stretched out her arms waiting for your embrace. If you hide your head in your crotch again, it will be a crime against the people, a subversion of socialism, and a blasphemy against communism. I will express my protest and dissatisfaction to you on behalf of all the male students in Class 3…"

Liu Zhihe expressed his disbelief: "Just forgive that old pervert, if there is such a good opportunity, why wouldn't he jump on it immediately? Why would you have to persuade him so earnestly?"

"So, from ancient times to the present, those who have been the boss are all hypocritical. Look at how many emperors have refused three times before ascending the throne, as if if you let me be the emperor, I will get hemorrhoids!"

Liu Zhihe nodded in agreement, and recalled the past: "When I was in junior high school, many people came to me and said, Boss, you must not do it. If we are caught, we will all be expelled. I was not hypocritical at all. I immediately said that if we won the money, each of us would get 50 ice creams. Then everyone changed their tone and supported me immediately."

Ren Yi was busy flattering him, reminiscing about the past, and the two of them were talking happily, saliva flying everywhere. Liu Zhihe looked far away, and his tone was full of profound philosophy: "So I was recruited by Boss Wen. In the final analysis, I am still not as hypocritical as him..."

Wen Liang felt that if he continued to listen, he would either have a mental breakdown or strangle these two guys to death. MB, you guys don't forget to criticize me even when you're having a meal, you're really a failure as a boss.

Boom! Wen Liang sat down next to Ren Yi in a carefree manner and said expressionlessly, "Brother Ren, Teacher Ye seems to have forced me to submit a class situation investigation report recently. Do you think she will be curious about the strange review materials in someone's drawer? Brother Liu, I just met Director Liu yesterday. He didn't look very happy. I heard that his biggest hobbies are catching gamblers, investigating prostitution, and beating his son. I wonder if it's true or not?"

In fact, Ren Yi and Liu Zhihe had already seen Wen Liang hiding and eavesdropping secretly, but Wen Liang had caught them in a weak spot, so they did not dare to go too far and forced themselves to hold back their laughter and make jokes in an attempt to fool the person.

Wen Liang looked at the two of them with a squinting eye and said, "What kind of beauty threw herself into my arms? How come I didn't know about it?"

Liu Zhihe smiled and said, "He was talking about you and Ji Su, your deskmate..."

"It's just a matter of changing seats. Brother Ren, you can say such dirty and vulgar things. It's obvious that it's not me who is evil, but your thoughts."

Ren Yi said disdainfully: "You are a typical idealist. People's thoughts are just a reflection of objective existence. Only when you do obscene things can I see the obscene life."

Wen Liang and Liu Zhihe laughed at the same time. Wen Liang praised: "Brother Ren, it seems that you have read a lot of books recently. As the saying goes, a person with a wealth of knowledge is naturally elegant. I wonder how many beautiful girls you will charm in the future."

Ren Yi was overjoyed and very proud.

Liu Zhihe slapped him on the back of the head and said, "Go and have fun with your little sister. I have something to talk to Brother Wen about."

Ren Yi knew that it was not appropriate for him to get involved in what was happening next, and he had no interest in it. He took a piece of pork belly from Wen Liang's bowl, humming a little tune as he walked away.

In high school, only pure people like Ren Yi can truly learn happily and have fun. Wen Liang can't do it, Liu Zhihe can't do it, Gu Wenyuan can't do it, and even Ji Su, Xu Yao and Ning Xiaoning can't do it.

Liu Zhihe chuckled and said, "Why didn't I realize this guy was so interesting when I was in junior high school?"

Wen Liang ignored him. Just looking at his usual behavior, he could tell that when he was in Minghua Junior High School, he had his eyes in the sky and would not even look at a small character like Ren Yi.

Therefore, relationships between people are built through interactions, and this is true in schools as well as in official circles.

"What's going on recently? My dad hasn't been home for almost half a month, and my mom is getting suspicious..."

Liu Zhihe's eyes narrowed into a slit, and his chubby face was filled with worry. Wen Liang understood that Liu Zhihe had asked a question, so he had to give an answer. He hesitated for a moment and said, "If I say I don't know, you won't believe me, and it will hurt our brotherly feelings. But I really can't tell you too much about this matter. Anyway, it has nothing to do with our school... Well, maybe it has a little relationship..."

He thought of Gu Wenyuan. With the situation developing to this point, with the influence of the Gu family in Qingzhou, it would be easy to find out all the unknown details of this massive war. As long as Mu Zechen had enough intelligence, he would definitely warn Gu Wenyuan not to act recklessly. Although he didn't know his role in it, he could understand the great contributions that Ji Zheng made in Xu Fuyan's overall layout.

Based on this point alone, when Xu Fuyan was about to control the absolute power of Qingzhou, allowing Gu Wenyuan to touch Ji Su was undoubtedly an idiotic act of mental retardation and brain damage.

During this period, Wen Liang focused all his energy on the changes in the city, but he never relaxed his vigilance against Gu Wenyuan. With Master Gu's vindictive face, it was difficult for Wen Liang to not retaliate against Ji Su, who was determined to get him.

Just the humiliation and loss of face alone were enough to drive Gu Wenyuan crazy, not to mention that a beautiful woman was taken away by someone!

But fortunately, this period of time has passed safely without any regrets. Now that the dust has settled, Mu Zechen should know what to do!

Even though, as the outside world sarcastically said, Mu Zechen was Gu Shitong's servant, he would use all means to stop Gu Wenyuan from doing anything wrong in such matters.

Wen Liang could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Well, it should be a matter of the city." Liu Zhihe was so smart that he immediately grasped the essence and asked anxiously: "Is it a success or a failure?"

Wen Liang had long been accustomed to the awesome side of this awesome fat man, and said lazily, "It's almost done. It won't be long before you, the son of the deputy director, become the son of the director!"

Liu Zhihe slammed the table with a silly "bang". Regardless of the surprised or contemptuous looks from the people around him, he smiled and said, "Things have changed. This year it's my turn. I can finally bully men and women and be a dandy boy."

Wen Liang lowered his head and silently said, "I don't know you." He vaguely heard the sound of a handsome guy with a side-parted hair spitting behind him:

MB, you have been one for a long time, okay

Although he knew Liu Zhihe would not say anything nonsense, Wen Liang still gave him a few words of advice, saying: "If we hadn't talked about this today, I would have almost forgotten. You should behave yourself recently, don't cause any trouble, keep a low profile, and withdraw your little followers who are yelling and shouting. Report to me at noon every day, go home early after school, don't go out and fool around, and be smart on the road..." Liu Tianlai should have warned his son, but he was so busy that he was not at home all day, and he might not have thought of this. If something happened to his son when Liu Tianlai was arranging to protect other people, it would be a big joke.

Liu Zhihe nodded and whispered, "I understand!"

Wen Liang comforted her, "But just in case, it shouldn't be a problem. Just be smart..."

"Don't worry, look at my appearance. If you are Tom, I am Jerry, smart and unique!"

Wen Liang looked at his narrowed eyes and couldn't help laughing.

When he returned to the classroom, many people had come over one after another. As he walked along the road, he could already hear people talking about him and Ji Su's deskmate affairs, and how they had sex, as if they had seen it in person. Wen Liang sat down with a wry smile, wondering why he hadn't realized in his previous life that the gossip industry in 1995 was so developed, and the speed of its spread was comparable to that of online gossip clubs in the future, leaving the East China Sea in the morning and staying in Cangwu in the evening.

Soon Ji Su and Meng Ke came in arm in arm. The history of girls holding hands is unknown, but the two beauties standing so close to each other created a pleasing picture effect to a certain extent. They separated when they reached the desk. Ji Su sat down, tilted his head and smiled, "You came so early, you look more and more like a good student, right?"

Wen Liang smiled and said, "I have always been a good student. I have developed in all aspects of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor, and I have all the five virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. Do you remember the first rule of the "Secondary School Student Code"? I love my country, my people, support the Communist Party of China, study hard, and am ready to contribute to the modernization of socialism - this is me!"

If anyone else had said such words, Ji Su's only reaction would have been to walk away with a cold face, but when she heard it from Wen Liang, she couldn't help laughing and just thought it was so funny.

It can be imagined that in the days to come, with Wen Liang by my side, it will be hard not to smile.

An afternoon passed quickly. When school was about to end, Ye Yuting walked up to the podium and said, "This weekend, which is the day after tomorrow, the school will arrange a patriotic quality education activity. We will organize all the first-year high school students to visit the Comrade Kong Puzhou Memorial Hall in Yishan County. Please be prepared in the next two days and wear more clothes..."
