Being interrupted by Du Yan, Zhang Jing completely forgot the topic of puppy love just now, and the two started fighting at the school gate.
Not long after, Du Yan saw Shi An and his mother sharply. Sure enough, his mother asked Shi An a few words and left in a hurry, probably rushing to work.
Shi An stood at the school gate, looking around with a dazed look on his face, as if he was looking for someone.
"Shian! This way!"
Du Yan raised his voice to say hello.
Shi An's eyes lit up slightly, and he walked over quickly. He smiled and said, "You are waiting for me."
Du Yan nodded: "I guessed that after Aunt Tan took you to report, I will rush back to work."
Shi An thought of something again, and said regretfully, "Du Yan, why didn't you share Zhang Jing and me in the same class? What a pity."
Du Yan didn't care very much, he spread his hands and said, "It's random. I said why do you follow you Zhang Xiao old man, don't you just go up and down the stairs? Don't say it as if you are separated by 108,000 miles."
Seeing that Shi An's face was also a little unhappy, Du Yan rolled his eyes and felt that he probably guessed the other party's mind: "Are you afraid of being bullied by that stupid gang?"
Shi An was stunned, but did not answer.
Du Yan consciously guessed it right, patted his chest and said, "What are you afraid of? Even if you are not in the same class, if someone bullies you, just say it, brother will cover you like a brother. I used to be able to handle it across schools, it's trivial to cross a class! "
Shi An smiled and said, "But is the protection fee still unavoidable?"
Du Yan raised his eyebrows and said confidently: "Of course, this is the rule of the Tao."
This is Du Yan's behavior in the past few years, and he will never help Shi An for free.
After helping, he always had to collect some payment from Shi An. In Du Yan's eyes, this is a fair deal. It can prevent Shi An from turning to Zhang Jing for help, nor can Shi An owe him Du Yan. Then, there will be no unnecessary troubles.
The junior high school careers of the three little friends began from this point. Although the situation was somewhat different from what Zhang Jing originally predicted, it was barely considered to be running smoothly on the right track.
However, this smooth-running junior high school train shifted slightly a year later.
In the first year, everything was as Zhang Jing had guessed.
Shi An, who looks good but looks weak and easy to bully, becomes the first target of the school gang. The rotten Shi An cooperated with Du Yan, causing those arrogant and domineering campus gangs to suffer a big loss, and Zhang Jing was naturally the one who cleaned up the aftermath.
It didn't take long for that group of people to be docile and obedient by Du Yan, and they didn't dare to make trouble again, and they disappeared from the campus.
Right now, it is already the second year that Du Yan Xiaobawang has unified the junior high school arena.
Du Yan is very different from the previous campus cancer. He never takes the initiative to cause trouble, and even truancy, skipping classes and failing the exams, which are the necessary qualities of school bullies, will never appear on him.
Du Yan's life is quite regular. He goes to school with Zhang Jing Shi'an every day. After school, he either goes to play ball or goes home with Zhang Jing.
There will be one less Shi An after school, because Shi An will go to help where his mother works after school.
For example, today is the same process.
Zhang Jing stayed in the classroom and sorted out his notes. Today, Du Yan has no plans to play and should be down soon. He quickened his speed, and the next few lines were scribbled, just to get everything done before Du Yan arrived.
When Zhang Jing finished writing the last stroke, the person he was waiting for appeared at the door of the classroom.
Du Yan carried a schoolbag in his hand, and walked to Zhang Jing while tossing it in an unorthodox manner. After he stopped, he took out a heart-shaped letter from his pocket and threw it on Zhang Jing's table.
"Our class Wang Luni gave it to you."
Zhang Jing didn't even look at the letter, and took the book on the table to himself: "I said I wouldn't accept these letters. Just return it to her."
Du Yan shrugged: "I said you wouldn't accept it, but people threw this thing on me and ran away."
He squeezed his eyebrows: "Wang Luni is pretty cute, many boys in our class have a crush on her, do you think about it?"
Zhang Jing glanced at him: "How about you?"
"Ah?" Du Yan didn't understand what Zhang Jing meant.
"You also have a crush on her?"
Du Yan said: "What are you thinking, I want to have a crush on her and can I help bring the letter? Well, I'll just say it straight, I can only say a few words of kindness about what she gave me to eat."
"Look at your success." Zhang Jing's brows relaxed slightly.
"Okay, do you really see it?"
Zhang Jing glanced at the letter on the table: "You throw it in the trash, I won't read it."
Du Yan ignored him: "You have to do this kind of wicked person yourself. I don't want to do this kind of thing that spoils other people's minds. You are very skilled anyway."
When Zhang Jing heard Du Yan's words, he frowned again and said, "Then if you encounter a girl who confesses to you, are you ready to accept the other party in order not to spoil your heart?"
Du Yan seemed to be overwhelmed by the questioning, scratching his head and thinking for a long time without coming up with a result.
When he couldn't talk about Zhang Jing, Du Yan's general strategy was to cheat: "Oh, you don't always make up some things that are not there. You can see that since the first year of school, no girl has the courage to come to me and confess. , someone like me with a fierce reputation, when people see me, they can't wait to turn around and leave, the situation you assumed doesn't exist."
This year, what Zhang Jing was worried about has never happened.
On the contrary, he often confesses or receives love letters, and Zhang Jing is also very clear about the reason why Du Yan is not interested. After all, Du Yan, the school bully that everyone is afraid of, gave him a bruised nose and a swollen face, and then he managed to escape the punishment.
Since then, Du Yan has become famous throughout the junior high school. No matter how good his face looks, those girls are always a little insensitive to a guy like Du Yan who likes to fight.
Zhang Jing packed up his schoolbag and stuffed the love letter on the table into his pocket. It wasn't too much to throw it at school, but after returning home, he threw it in the trash can at the door of the house.
Du Yan looked at Zhang Jing and threw the letter in his hand into the trash, and suddenly said, "I almost forgot to tell you something. I won't go home with you from tomorrow."
Zhang Jing turned back and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Du Yan just smiled, and answered perfunctorily, "Something is wrong."
Zhang Jing, however, pursued the root cause, pressing him step by step: "What's the matter?"
Du Yan was a little speechless when asked by Zhang Jing, and finally he could only say impatiently: "Okay, Zhang Xiaojing, do you really consider yourself my parent? Even my father, I have the right to keep privacy. Bar."
Only then did Zhang Jing realize that his attitude seemed a little aggressive, he fell silent, and finally said, "I'm sorry."
Du Yan was not someone who cared about such trivial matters. He patted Zhang Jing on the shoulder and turned around and walked into the gate of his own courtyard.
As the sun went down, the golden sunlight stretched Zhang Jing's shadow long. He looked down at his lonely shadow. It was the quietness and solitude that he enjoyed most, but now he felt the resistance and unaccustomedness rising from the bottom of his heart.
Du Yan is indeed a man of words, even in this respect. Since that day, Du Yan still accompanied Zhang Jing when he went to school, but when he came home from school, only Zhang Jing was left.
Zhang Jing once went up to the second floor to find Du Yan several times after the last class in the afternoon, only to find that the other person had long since disappeared.
After fluttering again, Zhang Jing finally stopped a person who looked familiar and asked, "Hello, does Du Yan leave after class these days?"
Zhang Jing is a famous campus celebrity, and almost everyone knows this face. The classmate said directly, "Ah, Zhang Jing, doesn't Du Yan come to you every day after class?"
Today Zhang Jing still came home alone, but unexpectedly, after he walked into the yard, he saw Shi An.
"Why are you so early today?" Although he was in a bad mood, Zhang Jing still said hello at the same time.
When Shi Anping went to help his mother, he usually didn't come back until around eight o'clock.
When Shi An saw Zhang Jing finished speaking, he didn't care about his answer and wanted to go back to his house, and quickly said, "I saw Du Yan yesterday, after school."
Zhang Jing's footsteps stopped instantly. He turned around and sat down beside Shi An, and asked directly, "Where did you see it?"
Shi An replied: "Isn't there a famous dessert shop next to the shop where my mother works? I saw Du Yan and a girl eating there yesterday."
Zhang Jing frowned and asked again, "Girl, from our school?"
Shi An nodded and said, "Yes, it seems to be the senior sister of the third year of junior high school, the school girl named Zhao Yuqi..."
Zhang Jing put his hand under the table and clenched it into a fist silently. He thought about it and asked, "You read that right? Are you sure it's Du Yan?"
Although Zhang Jing hoped that Shi An had mistaken the person, but he remembered Du Yan's mysterious appearance and the line of action that disappeared after school, and his mood became worse than ever.
Seeing Zhang Jing's expression, Shi An suddenly asked, "How about we secretly follow Du Yan to confirm after school tomorrow?"
Zhang Jing glanced at Shi An with a serious expression: "That's Du Yan's privacy, I advise you not to do this kind of thing."
"But, but now he hangs out with that girl all day long and ignores us."
Zhang Jing's thoughts did not show on his face at all: "Du Yan and we are just friends, and we have no right to interfere with his friendship. Shi An, don't worry too much."
a day later.
The current situation may be the most embarrassing moment for Zhang Jing in the past ten years. He looked at Shi An in front of him and didn't know what to say.
The two looked at each other and averted their eyes. Zhang Jing was out of embarrassment, and Shi An was out of guilt.
In the end, the two tacitly did not mention the previous conversation, but continued to pay close attention to Du Yan not far away.
