The morning passed quickly. At noon, they gathered in front of the newspaper stand as usual. Wen Liang waited for Liu Zhihe to come over and asked, "How was it yesterday? No one was hurt, right?"
"No, I scared him after a few words. What are you talking about the Four Heavenly Kings? Bah! With the trash like No. 19 Middle School, they were able to fight No. 1 Middle School for so many years. It's shameful, it's shameful for us!"
Wen Liang was speechless. They were comparing academic performance. Did they really think they were the Hongxing and Tungxing gangs in Young and Dangerous, competing with you in a fighting match
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Zhihe, how is your relationship with that girl going?"
Liu Zhihe acted confident and said, "Yesterday's appearance was too impressive. I have to be cool these two days. It's not good to chase a girl too closely. How does the saying go? One by one... one by one..."
"Relaxation and tension are the way of civil and martial arts!"
Ren Yi smiled and poked his head out from behind Wen Liang to help Liu Zhihe complete the sentence.
"Yes, you are very cultured, Ren Yi. What happened yesterday must have left a deep impression on her. She thought I would continue to pester her. Maybe she has already made up her mind to show me her displeasure. Okay, I will fight back, fight back..."
His eyes turned to Ren Yi again, and Ren Yi quickly said, "Do the opposite!"
"That's the truth! No matter how much you look forward to it, I just won't show up. This back and forth will cause her a serious psychological gap. I'm sure her impression of me, Lao Liu, will be even deeper. When a girl has your shadow in her mind, whether it's positive or negative, your chance will come..."
Everyone was amazed by what he said. Ji Su and Meng Ke were stunned. They pouted and moved to the side, as if they would be taken advantage of by Liu Zhihe if they stood too close to him. Ren Yi had just broken up with his lover, so his eyes lit up. Looking at his expression, he wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Liu Zhihe to teach him how to pick up girls.
Wen Liang praised: "First, he bluffed, then retreated to advance, then lured you into a trap, and finally it came naturally, and he made peace. It's just chasing a girl, is it necessary to use military tactics?"
Liu Zhihe laughed: "We are different. I enjoy the process of chasing. The result is not important."
Wen Liang had to raise his middle finger again and said, "Domineering!"
They had lunch at the same place as before. Wen Liang paid the bill out of his own pocket without plotting against Liu Zhihe. After that, he asked them to go back to school and went to the soy milk shop alone.
When Wen Liang pushed open the door of the operation room and came in, Xie Yan was cleaning up the dishes. Seeing Wen Liang, her hands trembled violently, and then she walked over with a look of trepidation. She was very tall, almost reaching Wen Liang's ears. The two were very close, and could smell the faint fragrance coming from each other's bodies. Xie Yan lowered her head, her hands hanging by her legs, her chin almost touching her bulging chest, and said in a very low voice: "I came here to work as soon as school was over yesterday afternoon. When I knew Meng Fei and others were blocking the school gate, I rushed over and you had already left... Yes, I'm sorry..."
Seeing her timid look, Wen Liang suddenly became mischievous and deliberately kept a cold face without saying anything. Xie Yan waited for a while but didn't hear a response, so he quietly raised his head and took a peek. His face immediately turned red and white, and he tightly grasped the bottom of his clothes with both hands, twisting his body slightly in uneasiness.
Wen Liang regretted it immediately when he saw her like this. After all, Xie Yan was not like Xu Yao and the others, who knew him inside out. This joke was obviously a bit too much.
He smiled slightly: "Okay, why apologize? It's not your fault! In fact, I should apologize to you. I'm really sorry for making you quarrel with your friends!"
"No, I should be the one to apologize."
Xie Yan explained hurriedly, his eyes meeting Wen Liang’s casually. The boy’s eyes were gentle yet deep. His heart skipped a beat for some reason, and he quickly turned his head away, his face a little red.
"Am I scary? Why do you always look like you're afraid of me?" Wen Liang teased with interest.
Xie Yan heard Wen Liang's smile and breathed a sigh of relief, calming his violently beating heart. Then he raised his head bravely, stared into Wen Liang's eyes, and said seriously: "I'm not afraid of you! Yes, I'm not afraid of anyone. But only when facing you, I will be afraid that I will do something wrong, I will be afraid that I will look stupid and stupid, and I will be afraid that you will think that I am good for nothing except trouble!"
Wen Liang was silent for a moment, then said softly, "You are you, and you don't need to care about what others think of you. We are friends, so we will learn to appreciate each other's strengths and accept each other's weaknesses. If we worry about these things every time we meet, not only will you feel pressured, but I will also feel pressured. Friends should be unrestrained and happy when they get along with each other. Everyone should sing and laugh together, without any grudges, and be free and easy. This is what friends do, right?"
Wen Liang continued, "Do you know that yesterday, in this store, a classmate from No. 19 Middle School who I had never met told me in an unquestionable voice that Xie Yan is the pride of No. 19 Middle School! I believe what he said, and please believe me, you are not only their pride, but also your own pride!"
When you are sixteen or seventeen years old, when a boy with bright eyes, a dazzling smile, and the gentlest voice in the world, whispers in your ear that you are your own pride!
No girl could resist this huge wave that surged and hit her heart. Xie Yan's eyes gradually became moist, but she finally managed not to cry. She bit her lower lip and nodded desperately.
Wen Liang also breathed a sigh of relief. He had already noticed something was wrong yesterday. Xie Yan always felt hesitant in front of him. Although he had felt this way before, it became even stronger after the misunderstanding. This feeling might have come from Wen Liang's unusual experience of meeting her. Whether it was the harsh lesson he gave Bai Huan or the tough conflict with Lin Zhen, it was not something a 17 or 18-year-old girl could bear. As a result, her feelings towards Wen Liang became extremely complicated, a combination of gratitude, admiration, admiration and fear. To her, Wen Liang was both the warm embrace in despair and the mountain-like back kneeling on the ground. Sometimes he looked like a handsome young man who talked and laughed and pointed out the world, and sometimes he looked like a respectful, polite, indifferent and gentle gentleman. His complexity, his mystery, and the slightly extraordinary smile on his ordinary face deeply attracted Xie Yan.
Of course, this kind of attraction is the sudden liking between men and women when they are ignorant, which will disappear inexplicably at any time. It cannot be considered as liking, let alone love, but it is enough to make a girl who does not understand what love is worried and uneasy.
This was not the result Wen Liang wanted, but it didn't matter. In half a year, the girl would be admitted to university and start her own life. Perhaps many years later, she would remember that there was a boy, a person who would not only forgive the girl's mistakes with a smile, but also be gentle enough.
The afternoon exams ended quickly. When the bell for the last exam rang, the students who filed out screamed like wolves. No matter how well they did, no one cared about their grades at this moment. They were just cheering for the upcoming two-day vacation. Wen Liang went downstairs early and leaned on the newspaper rack thinking about what he had to do tonight. Although it was not the best time, since Zuo Yuxi insisted, it didn't matter if he met Yang Yihang. After all, Yishan would be handed over to this person in the future, so it would be good to get familiar with him earlier.
Just as I was thinking about how to communicate with Yang and his group to a limited extent, Liu Zhihe hurried over with a gloomy face: "Boss, I heard that the useless people in No. 19 Middle School have gathered people, and the first and third grade students have united to block us for revenge."
Wen Liang was a little confused at first, but then he suddenly realized. The freshmen must be here for Yang Yang, and the seniors should be Meng Fei's group. Well, it's just an exam, but they have mobilized two grades. Could it be that No. 1 Middle School and No. 19 Middle School really have a conflict
Wen Liang didn't seem to mind and said with a smile, "It's a big deal, what do you want to do?"
Liu Zhihe narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Of course we will do the opposite! This concerns the reputation of our school. If we back down, we will be ashamed to face the people of Jiangdong."
"Oh, that's progress. We don't need Ren Yi to be the reminder this time?"
"I was just teasing him, he really thought I didn't understand anything."
Wen Liang laughed: "He was just teasing you! Well, it's not impossible to fight, but do you have enough men? In a group fight, the first thing to look at is the number of heads, and the second is the momentum. If there are too few people and the momentum is not good enough, then the reputation of No. 1 Middle School will be lost..."
"We have enough people, but we can't have any less. But a few ruthless ones are not here, so it's hard to predict who will win if we really fight. Damn, we must fight, otherwise we will run back in disgrace, how can we survive in No. 1 Middle School in the future." Liu Zhihe spitted, with a hint of cruelty on his face, "Boss, please be careful, this is the first battle of our new representatives, we must be foolproof and win the first battle."
Seeing Liu Zhihe's passionate and generous song, Wen Liang felt annoyed. He sighed and said, "Just pretend. If it wasn't for Yang Yang, would you be so irrational and have to fight in a group on someone else's land?"
"Hey, I knew I couldn't hide it from Boss Wen! I had no choice but to do this. If Yang Yang knew about this, I would be scared and scared. How would I have the nerve to chase her in the future? If I don't chase her, how can you have a brother-in-law? Without a brother-in-law, when will you have a godson? Without a godson, you won't be satisfied as a godfather..."
Wen Liang was so confused by him that he said helplessly, "Stop, okay, you just want me to go over there, so let's go. It's my duty to help my brother pick up girls. But let's do it quickly, I have something else to do tonight!"
Liu Zhihe was overjoyed. Wen Liang's fighting ability was obvious to all. The key was that he was ruthless and full of momentum. Wouldn't he defeat No. 19 Middle School with this move
If Wen Liang knew that Fatty Liu was slandering him like this, he would have kicked him away long ago. When Ji Su and Meng Ke came out, he told them to leave first. Ren Yi seemed to know the news as well and refused to leave, so Wen Liang had no choice but to take him with him.
The two sides met at the entrance of an alley outside the school. After a brief negotiation, the battlefield moved to a deserted place not far away. Many spectators came one after another, and the scene immediately became spectacular.
