Yu Ran tightly tied his trouser waist with one hand to prevent it from slipping off, and put the other hand into his pocket, pretending to be calm and unrestrained.
With so many people in front of him, he must not be able to beat him, so at least he must win in terms of temperament.
"What's your reason for fighting with me?" Yu Ran asked Cai Hanchuan, "Just because I put your head in Kung Pao Chicken last week?"
"You fucking dare to mention it." Cai Hanchuan's cheeks were already thin, and his eyes were slightly lowered to look fierce, "If you're a man, just talk honestly with your fists, don't fuck with those dirty tricks, it's embarrassing Now."
"It's embarrassing for you to fight over such a silly thing." Yu Ran couldn't help laughing, "Are you trying to show off in our freshman year? How funny... the prestige won by violence will one day It will be taken away by stronger violence, and if you don't get respect from others, you won't get it, don't waste your efforts."
Cai Hanchuan held back his seizures for the time being, tilted his head and asked with great interest, "Are you fucking here to educate me?"
"I'm here to ask you to apologize." Yu Ran remained calm, "You stained my friend's new clothes."
As soon as this remark came out, several people around laughed and called him "stupid" and "sick in the head" in a low voice. Cai Hanchuan laughed the most, his cheekbones almost rose to the eye sockets, and he tilted his head several times to express this novel feeling.
After he had laughed enough, he said to Ran: "Okay, you have a temper. Then I will give you the stage—you can choose one of us heads-up."
Without squinting, Yu Ran replied, "I don't fight, it's boring."
"Then what do you want?"
"If you admit your mistake, I will forgive you." Yu Ran said.
The smile faded from Cai Hanchuan's face, he stared at Yu Ran with his cloudy white eyes, and leaned towards him with clenched fists, "I really flattered you to make you dare to push your nose on your face like this..."
Before he finished speaking, he swung his right arm vigorously, and beat Yu Ran's head swiftly and straightly.
—Condensed into a heavy muffled sound.
…
When Fang Zhao ran out of the office and found Cai Hanchuan along the road, he saw Yu Ran leaning against the wall, supporting his precarious body with his arms, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, winding down his chin.
"Fuck!" Cai Hanchuan took another step forward and grabbed Yu Ran by the collar, almost lifting him up, forcing him to look at himself, "Why are you pretending to be dead? How dare you challenge me before? Damn it, fight back!" !"
The rust smell on the lips was very fishy, Yu Ran opened his mouth to pant slowly, and pursed his lips to wipe off the blood on the corners of his mouth. When he looked up at Cai Hanchuan with a stern face, he happened to find Fang Zhao at the entrance of the corridor.
Yu Ran looked away, continued to look directly at Cai Hanchuan's face, his Adam's apple rolled a few times: "I am... different from you."
Saying that, Yu Ran raised his hand to tightly strangle Cai Hanchuan's strong wrist, finally released his strength, and with difficulty broke the opponent's fist away from the collar of his school uniform. Even though he was still forced to look up at this moment, his eyes still contained bottomless contempt, and he fell into Cai Hanchuan's sight without reservation.
"Fight back?" Yu Ran sneered helplessly, but his eyes became brighter, "Fighting for the sake of face is the most humiliating thing... Even if I am beaten up by you ten thousand times, I will never let myself become as stupid as you."
Cai Hanchuan frowned several times, pinching the back of Yu Ran's neck furiously, trying to hit his head against the wall. But I don't know why Yu Ran gained so much strength, he just stuck his neck to resist Cai Hanchuan's brute force, and stood firmly in place.
From childhood to adulthood, Cai Hanchuan has beaten many people who pretended to be aggressive in front of him, but he has never met someone like Tai Ran who is so generous in order to pretend to be aggressive. Even though he was bleeding from the beating, he still held back and refused to fight back.
The force contest between boys is the most addictive thing for Cai Hanchuan. It can not only release his natural violent tendencies, but also satisfy his inner desire to conquer by frustrating the opponent's spirit. Bruises, blood, scars... He used to greedily and readily turn every high-spirited teenager into his own defeat.
But the premise that can make his blood boil is a fair duel. When his flesh and blood bear the fresh pain, this pain can be transformed into energy that stimulates his fighting spirit, thus becoming more fierce and brave, and invincible.
And hitting someone who doesn't fight back is a kind of humiliation to Cai Hanchuan.
But he also met such a deadly stubborn Yu Ran, who was willing to be beaten and not fight back, but he still wanted to stand on the commanding heights and despise him, pretending to say "I'm different from you" to divide the position. Cai Hanchuan had no choice but to gradually reduce the strength of his fist.
"You bastard..." Cai Hanchuan finally let go of his hand, "Are you fucking looking for death?"
Yu Ran felt a tearing pain when he pulled the corner of his mouth a little. He still insisted on laughing, raised his head slowly, looked over Cai Hanchuan's shoulder, and stared at Shang Fangzhao.
Maybe he really wanted to die... But since he said he would not fight over meaningless things, Yu Ran didn't want to lose to this promise.
"I told you everything, I'm here to make you apologize." Yu Ran straightened his back, his right fist finally gathered strength, and then roared in a low voice, "You fucking stained my friend's new clothes!"
In the blink of an eye, Yu Ran punched Cai Hanchuan hard in the face without hesitation, which caught Cai Hanchuan off guard, and he took half a step back, almost falling to the ground.
Fang Zhao stared blankly at the front, he saw Yu Ran's clenched right hand trembling under the reaction force, which showed how much effort was put into that fist.
Cai Hanchuan was dizzy and felt something buzzing in his head. Others rushed forward to help him deal with Yu Ran, but he raised his hand and stopped them.
He frowned, and gasped because of the pain on his face. In sight, Yu Ran touched the blood on his lower lip vigorously, but there was still a layer of light red solidified on his cheeks, which looked a bit funny.
"Yu Ran, I just want to ask you a question." Cai Hanchuan found that his mouth also smelled bloody, "Are you fucking pretending to be so forceful?"
Yu Ran raised the zipper of the school uniform jacket to the highest point, and the collar stood up, covering the lower half of his face. His hair is a bit disheveled, and the two tufts of hair that make up the hollow heart have been tilted out of shape.
"A real man's fists are only fighting for his beliefs. An ant like you won't understand." Yu Ran cleared his throat, and walked away with his pants tightly in his hands, leaving only Cai Hanchuan a handsome back view.
"Have you ever seen someone like Yu Ran..." Cai Hanchuan cast a blank and incomprehensible look at the people around him, "Is he such a shocking idiot?"
They all shook their heads, not knowing how to evaluate the fight just now.
The bell rang at the end of the big break, and Chengjun Middle School returned to calm.
"You really scared me to death. I thought you had been broken by him because you didn't fight back all the time... Are you okay? Let's go to the infirmary first."
Fang Zhao followed Yu Ran closely, and kept asking him where the wound was.
"It's okay, it's just a few times, it's not as good as a mosquito bite." Yu Ran waved his hand and didn't care, "Go back to class, who's in the third quarter?"
"Today is Monday, class meeting."
"Oh, it's over, the class teacher will find out." Only then did Yu Ran feel that something was wrong, "She won't punish me to write an inspection again, will she?"
"I don't think... probably not." Fang Zhao said, "I just went to the Academic Affairs Office and told the director about Cai Hanchuan. If Teacher Bai knew, he would definitely understand you."
Yu Ran nodded, and the two hurried back to the classroom. The head teacher is not here, so the whole class is doing self-study.
Chu Mian finished her homework, and now she is immersed in memorizing geography notes. He thought that the two people in the front seat disappeared for a long time to buy snacks, but he casually glanced at Yu Ran who was walking towards him, only to find that there was a shallow wound on the corner of the other's mouth, and there was also an indistinct blood stain on his chin.
But Yu Ran looks relaxed and cheerful as before, not like he just had a conflict with others. Chu Mian was distracted while holding the notebook, and suddenly realized that she had wasted a precious half a minute.
While continuing to review, Chu Mian heard the two people in front discussing what happened to them just now. Soon, Chu Mian picked out some key information from their words and pieced together a complete logic, understanding the general process.
In the final analysis, it turned out that the guy in front didn't fight back after being beaten.
"I told you earlier, I don't fight meaningless fights." Yu Ran rolled up his sleeves again, leaned back on the chair and talked to Fang Zhao, "Compared to being covered in scars, fighting back because you are angry is the biggest loser."
Chu Mian answered lightly from behind, "You can't beat me."
Yu Ran suddenly turned around and retorted: "This, there is nothing I can't beat, my biggest enemy is myself! I can't violate my belief!"
Faith or not... Chu Mian scoffed at this.
This is what he can't bear the most - his speech and deeds are out of tune all day, he keeps saying words that are full of disobedience in daily life, and he likes to call himself a "male protagonist". A Muggle like Yu Ran is chosen as the leading actor in the work? It's just too presumptuous.
"If you haven't fought, you haven't fought. You think that not fighting back is another way of winning, but in fact it's just a way of winning spiritually." Chu Mian couldn't help but finished speaking, and felt that Yi Ran's level of knowledge might not even know who Ah Q was. Do not know at all.
Yu Ran looked at Chu Mian, thought deeply, "Well, this is the difference between us."
When he spoke, it seemed that the corner of his mouth was pulled again, some blood oozed out, and he quickly took out a tissue to hold it down.
Chu Mian silently lowered his head to review, but after a while, he was still stuck on the same page of notes, unable to calm down and concentrate.
Perhaps it was because of the frequent contact with Yu Ran recently, Chu Mian's original bad feeling towards him gradually decreased, knowing that he had been beaten so many times in vain, she suddenly felt empathy, and couldn't help being a little annoyed.
However, the object of anger is not the person who beat Yu Ran, but Yu Ran himself—he can beg others to copy his homework, but he is foolishly allowed to be beaten and scolded when his body is injured. This is not driven by "faith", it is obvious It's a question of value selection.
The more Chu Mian thought about it, the more he hated that iron could not be made into steel. Fortunately, he has a strong ability to regulate emotions, and he didn't fall asleep directly because of anger.
He took a deep breath, turned around and took out a few band-aids from his schoolbag, and threw them forward vigorously. Due to frequent cataplexy and easy bumps and wounds, many medicines are indispensable for him.
Suddenly something flew onto the table, Yu Ran was startled. Seeing that it was a Band-Aid, his eyes immediately softened, and he turned to look at Chu Mian gratefully.
"Don't look at me." Chu Mian said impatiently without saying thank you, "Your stupidity is contagious."
Yu Ran didn't care about Chu Mian's tone, he just grinned because of Chu Mian's concern for him: "Why? You said I'm stupid and contagious, so why are you staring at someone who is pregnant... Hey, you're staring at me now! It's over! I'm pregnant with Chu Mian—"
Chu Mian immediately covered his mouth, forbidding him to speak nonsense loudly in class.
