Chapter 35: Don't you dare ignore me.

On the way home, Chen Jingshen estimated the time and took out his cell phone to send a message to Yu Fan. Chen Jingshen estimated the time, took out his cell phone and sent a message to Yu Fan.

[s: Can we still video at night.]

Successfully sent.

Didn't get pulled.

Auntie had already made dinner when she arrived home. The middle aged woman grabbed her apron with both hands and wiped it, greeted with a dry smile, "Back ...... I have already made dinner, eat it while it is hot?"

Even though she'd been cooking for the family for over a year, the kids-or rather the family-were rather cold and got along in a strange way. So she was still a little rattled whenever she conversed with them.

After all, in all her years of doing this job, it's the first time she's seen a home with so many monitors in the house, in almost every room but the bathroom, that she comes to work with trepidation.

Maybe that's what rich people do.

"Uh-huh." The teenager gave her the usual sweeping look, and said, "Just put it on the table, you can go back."

After dinner, Chen Jingshen took a shower, and when he came out, there were still no messages on his cell phone.

Instead, the discussion group is hot and heavy with chatter.

[-: A couple of guys come by at nine to play a game.]

[Wang Luan:?

Zuo Kuan: Am I reading this right, that this is the future No. 1 of the South Side 7th grade meeting in person? I'll do it.

[Wang Luan: Then I'll barely play for a while.]

Zuo Kuan: @- Where is he? It's five minutes to 9:00, and you disappeared from your own appointment?

......

Yu Fan threw in the towel and never bubbled again, looking as if he didn't really want to play the game, but rather figured out a way to tell someone that I wasn't coming at nine.

Chen Jingshen stared at the sentence several times, opened the drawer to get his notebook, and Yu Guang glanced at the notebook that was placed in the bottom.

He wiped his hair with a motion. After a long moment, he got up, picked up a nearby black cloth and threw it easily over the door of the room, skillfully covering the camera above.

Chen Jingshen returned to his desk and drew out the black leather notebook, flipping through it at random.

Several clipped notes unfolded.

Rectangles, roughly cut at the edges, two with broken corners.

But compared to the words on it, everything else seems less tattered.

Because the writing on it is just ugly.

The handwriting is written in pencil, crooked, with words and pinyin, like a spring worm and a fall snake, which is considered the most obsolete group among elementary school students. If you show it to other people, there are probably ten out of ten people who can't understand what is written on it.

But Chen Jingshen understands.

For the man who gave him this piece of paper was on his knees and sprawled on the ground, and his mouth was full of words as he wrote--

"How do you spell strong charm, mushy charm, don't cry charm, brave charm ...... brave brave? Chen Jingshen?"

Chen Jingshen told him, and then said that the pinyin of the other character was also misspelled, and that it was awesome not mushy.

"You're the one who's wrong, it's just mushy, my teacher taught me that."

The dirty little boy who had just gotten out of a fight solemnly corrected him, then shoved the pieces of paper into his hand, rubbing his nose and holding his head high.

"Don't cry, it's just that the peace talisman was torn by them. Take these talismans with you, I'll bless you from now on."

Chen Jingshen did not make a move until a long time later. He twisted the "talisman paper" very lightly with his fingers and silently put it back together.

Yu Fan sat on the balcony leaning against the iron rail and drank two cans of cold beer in a row with the wind blowing, and his heart was still beating heavily.

Chen Jingshen It's not the first or second time this kind of raid has been done ......

How the fuck does it get hotter and hotter every time?

He took another sip and stared at the yellow light next door, feeling as if the sun was setting behind Chen Jingshen.

"Brother." A crisp call came from downstairs.

Yu Fan cocked his head and looked down, "Speak."

It was the little girl who lived upstairs from him and was tilting her head back to stare at him from the first floor stairway.

She wasn't so afraid of him after the last time she ate his ravioli.

She asked, "Brother, your face is so red, are you drunk?"

"......"

Yu Fan was expressionless: "Yes, I like to beat up kids when I'm drunk, so wait down here."

The little girl stared in shock, then turned and stomped off.

Yu Fan ended up playing a game.

What's said is done, and he's ready to renege on his debt by nine o'clock, but his three brothers are already waiting for him on the game line.

And he thought for a moment that instead of sitting on the balcony in the cool and under fire, he should get on the game and kill people to vent his anger.

He lay on his back and fought absentmindedly, landing dead and regretting it all at once.

Might as well be a blowout.

The next second he became a box, he slid the screen to exit to check the time, and then looked at WeChat.

No news.

He stared at a certain avatar and mentally gritted his teeth and cursed.

What do you mean. Just giving a hint and really not playing the video?

Why didn't you listen to me when I told you not to confess?

Selective obedience, huh?

I'm in need of a beating.

Yu Fan tensed his eyelids, raised his fist at the dog avatar in annoyance, and was just about to go back to the game-

The avatar suddenly jumped to the top of the list, and Du Binquan had a "1" at the top right.

Chen Jingshen sent over a video of the lecture.

Yu Fan cuts back to the game while the other three brothers are still fighting.

Seeing him back, Wang Luan said, "I grass Yu Fan Why did you just go out, did not see my God of Heaven descended to kill a mess ......."

"You guys play, I'm going."

"?" Zuo Kuan says, "You called us here, and you're leaving after a handful of fights? Why go?"

Yu Fan: "Watch the dog."

Yu Fan exits the game and sits down at the table to click on the video.

The moment Chen Jingshen's voice rang out, Yu Fan subconsciously raised his cell phone a bit.

"......"

Realizing that his face would not appear in the screen, Yu Fan rubbed his nose hard, reddened his ears again in embarrassment, and smothered his head as he began to read the questions.

At 7:30 a.m. on an early Saturday morning, a group of hangdog boys gathered in front of the milk tea store.

The boss's wife looked at her cell phone repeatedly to make sure it was the right day off.

Zuo Kuan desperately smoked to refresh himself: "You really don't want to have one? Aren't you sleepy?"

Yu Fan played with his cell phone and lazily said, "No smoking. Hurry up and finish this one and go inside."

"I know ......" Zuo Kuan glanced to the side and let out a sigh, moving his elbow to touch the person next to him, "The schoolteacher is here."

Yu Fan abruptly raised his eyes.

The South Side is hot in the summer and cool in the winter, and in May it's already warmer than many other cities.

Chen Jingshen's school jacket has finally been completely removed. With his long arms and legs, he always looks sharper in summer uniforms than before.

Before Chen Jingshen heard the voice and looked over, Yu Fan had already quickly lowered his head again.

Zuo Kuan felt much better about the school bully in the past two days, he asked, "School bully, can I copy you later?"

Chen Jingshen glanced at the person next to him and said faintly, "I can't."

"......"

You should at least try to say as much as you can.

There was no movement next to him, so Zuo Kuan turned his head and said again, "Hey, your tablemate is here."

Yu Fan : "Come as you are, what's it got to do with me? Report to me, my ass."

"......"

Didn't you have a good time with someone before? How come it doesn't matter overnight?

Yu Fan said and lowered his head back down, not looking at Chen Jingshen again.

He said before that Chen Jingshen would never talk to him again in his life if he dared to say those two words again.

The most important thing a man can do is keep his word.

"Holy shit!" Someone nearby suddenly yelled, "Hu Pang is coming over!"

A couple of the boys quickly put out their cigarettes!

Hu Pang wasn't wearing his glasses and couldn't see what they were doing.

So he stood at the school entrance squinting and cursing, "The exam starts in twenty minutes, what are you guys still standing here for? Hurry up and get your asses over here-- Jingshen, you hold on tight too."

The group followed Hu Pang towards the experimental building and saw Chen Jingshen at the front and Yu Fan simply at the back.

So much so that when he entered the classroom, the only seat left was the one in front of Hu Pang.

Next to Chen Jingshen.

He mentally tsked and sat down with an expressionless face.

In the exam room sat a dozen age hangers-on and a grade one.

Hu Pang scanned the circle, feeling quite emotional inside.

There are still ten minutes from the start of the exam, he held the test paper in both hands, against the desk to organize a bit, said, "This time, the test paper for your make-up exam is different from the other students, the difficulty is slightly higher, there is no way, the temporary make-up exam can only be like this. I'll make it clear to you first, don't give me the thought of sleeping during the exam, don't try to cheat with your cell phone, and don't try to peek at Chen Jingshen's classmates' test papers."

As he said this, his eyes flicked over the two students to the left and right of Chen Jingshen.

Yu Fan played with the pen with his chin in his hand, thinking with a foul face who cares about copying.

"Director, Ding Xiao is not coming to make up the test today?" Zuo Kuan sat at the back and asked with an impish face.

"Spit out your gum to me!" Hu Pang said, "His family asked me to take a leave of ...... absence, this matter I said I will deal with it, and I will have a good talk with him when I go to school on Monday. I warn you first ah, don't think to cause any trouble, everything is left to the school to deal with."

The last few lines Hu Pang said were directed at Yu Fan.

He had approved too many of Yu Fan's disciplinary slips, and knew roughly what kind of character he had.

People don't mess with him, he doesn't mess with people, people want to mess with him, then he can't sleep at night if he doesn't return the favor.

The party in question really didn't sleep well last night.

But not because of Ding Xiao.

Yu Fan didn't understand what had happened to him this time, he was actually quite angry when he was blocked, but then he suddenly put it behind him. If it wasn't for Wang Luan and the others who kept mentioning it, he would have forgotten about this person.

Hu Pang still talking overhead, Yu Fan yawns, then unconsciously glances to the side.

After looking over at it himself he first stared.

What am I looking at him for?

Yu Fan was just about to withdraw his gaze when he saw Chen Jingshen suddenly reach for the mineral water bottle by the table and raised his hand to unscrew it.

Twisted it the first time, didn't budge.

Chen Jingshen wearing a short-sleeved school uniform today, the hand injury exposed, bruises subsided most of the time, the wound did not put a band-aid, there is a dark red scab.

Maybe he's hurt or something, Chen Jingshen wrinkles his nose a little.

The second time, it didn't twist again.

Chen Jingshen was just about to try a third time when the water bottle was jerked away.

He tilted his head to see his cohort looking expressionlessly in the other direction, carrying his mineral water bottle in his hand with a twist that opened it easily.

Then his tablemate screwed it back on, put it on his desk with a thud, and turned his head back to his seat.

Hu Pang, who was startled by someone who suddenly stood up in the middle of his speech : "......"

He was just about to say What kind of attitude is this! Then he saw Chen Jingshen pick up the water with a calm face, tilted his head and took a sip.

Make-up exams begin.

Yu Fan has to admit that Chen Jingshen is really a master of betting.

Previously, he couldn't even understand the questions, he actually recognized many of them this time, of course, he still didn't know most of them, but it was very, very rare to be able to reach this level in more than a week's time.

Thirty minutes after the test started, the rest of the classroom was already looking at the scenery and playing with their pens.

Only two are still doing it.

Hu Pang was dumbfounded, passing by Yu Fan several times with his hands behind his back, his whole body in a state of disbelief.

The bell rings, Hu Pang gives the order, and the rolls are passed from back to front.

Zuo Kuan was sitting behind Yu Fan, and while handing him the test papers, he asked in a low voice if he wanted to go around to the next school to catch someone.

The technical school next door had dormitories, and most of the students were from the following cities and counties or from out of town, and many of them lived at the school all semester and didn't go home.

On weekends when no one is in charge, the punks prefer to hang out instead.

Yu Fan closed the lid of his pen and was just about to say something when the sound of a chair pulling away came from beside him.

Chen Jingshen gets up and hands the paper to Hu Pang.

"How did you do, was the paper difficult?" Hu Pang asked smoothly.

"It's okay." Chen Jingshen paused for a moment and suddenly said, "Thank you, Director, for this opportunity to make up the test."

"This time is also an exception, this is not an emergency. You have to remember the lesson, there are not so many times in life that you can start over," Hu Pang said, thinking of something, raised his eyebrows in a conspiratorial manner, "but this time you can make up for the exam, you guys have to be thankful for the metaphorical- "

Bang!

A bunch of test papers were thrown in front of him, cutting Hu Pang's words back.

Hu Pang stared, and before he could say, "Yu Fan, you've got some guts, don't you?", Yu Fan raised his arm--

One hooked Chen Jingshen's neck.

"See you, Director."

Throwing down this sentence coldly, Yu Fan directly pinched Chen Jingshen and walked towards the outside of the classroom.

Chen Jingshen was a little taller than Yu Fan, and he bent his head to let his opponent lead him.

Yu Fan's footsteps were fast, and he didn't stop until he felt that Hu Pang An couldn't catch up with him on all eight legs.

Gee, Hu Pang, what's with the big mouth? How rare is it that you have to bring it up after one night?

Nearly finished ......

Yu Fan's heart palpitates before he realizes that he has taken the man under the school's century-old banyan tree.

"Yu Fan." Chen Jingshen's voice fell.

Yu Fan cursed him in his heart, thinking, "If you hand in the paper, hand it in properly, then hurry up and leave to talk to Hu Pang," but he didn't intend to talk to Chen Jingshen. But he didn't intend to talk to Chen Jingshen, so he offered a cold whooshing look and raised his eyes to let Chen Jingshen realize---

With a twist of his head, he stopped a few centimeters from Chen Jingshen's cheek.

The two were face to face, so close that they could have touched.

The sunlight was cut into pieces by the layers of leaves, hitting the top of Chen Jingshen's hair sporadically.

Yu Fan forgot that he was holding someone in a circle, and didn't realize how close they were.

He looked at Chen Jingshen's cold frown and was slightly stunned, just about to let go of his hand.

"I was so happy to know I could make up the test that I didn't hold back. Only then did I say I liked you."

Chen Jingshen Dropped her eyelids and consulted with him in a low voice, "Just don't ignore me."

The wind whipped from behind and the leaves rustled.

Yu Fan held his breath. The heartbeat that had calmed down last night after two bottles of wine, a game, three hours of puzzles, and another night's sleep suddenly rushed back to his ears.
