Chapter 30 Change
Chi Jinjin was doing her homework, but her pen ran out of ink. She rummaged through her pencil case and found that she had no pens left.
She left the classroom and went downstairs to buy water from the store, but found Song Ci coming downstairs.
Chi Jinjin quickly slowed down and walked slowly behind him, praying that he would not look back and see her.
Suddenly, several boys were chasing and playing in the corridor, and one of them accidentally bumped into Song Ci who was in front of him.
It's over.
Chi Jinjin thought to herself.
Sure enough, Song Ci was about to start cursing, "You fucking..."
But he seemed to have thought of something and actually said to the boy, "Be careful."
The boy looked incredulous.
Song Ci patted his shoulder and said, "You can't chase and fight in the corridor. It not only endangers the safety of others, but also your own safety. Don't do it next time, okay?"
"Okay... okay..." The boy nodded in fear.
"Let's go." Song Ci smiled slightly.
The boy walked away tremblingly.
Chi Jinjin was shocked and wondered if Song Ci had taken the wrong medicine or what, why did he become so easy to talk to and good-tempered today?
It's like he's become a completely different person.
Song Ci turned and looked at Chi Jinjin.
Chi Jinjin was startled and turned around to go back.
"Chi Jinjin!" Song Ci called her.
Chi Jinjin slowly turned around, smiled awkwardly, and asked, "Senior, is there anything?"
Song Ci said, "Please tell Tang Shi that I really don't know how it feels to be isolated, but I... I am willing to change myself. I promise that I will never lose my temper or bully my classmates again."
"Ah? Oh, okay, okay." Chi Jinjin was shocked and wondered if she had heard it all. This arrogant little bully actually said that he would change himself?
It seems that he really likes Tang poetry.
"Did he really say that?" Tang Shi was completely in disbelief when she heard Chi Jinjin tell her what she had seen during the day.
Chi Jinjin nodded very confidently, "I heard it very clearly, he really said that."
"I don't believe it," Tang Shi said. "He must be pretending. As someone said, mountains cannot be moved, and nature cannot be changed."
Chi Jinjin didn't understand what she wanted to say for a moment. After thinking about her words for a while, he suddenly realized, "You mean to say that it's easy to change the country, but it's hard to change one's nature."
"Yes, that's right!" Tang Shi said firmly, "I don't believe that little bully can control his temper and stop bullying others."
But Chi Jinjin felt that Song Ci seemed serious, because she saw sincerity in his eyes that she had never seen before.
On the weekend, Chi Jinjin went to the library in the afternoon to preview his homework and borrow books.
She went to the bookshelf, looking for the book she wanted. After searching for a long time, she finally found the book she wanted on the shelf.
Chi Jinjin stepped forward and stretched out her hand to take the book, but just as her hand touched the book, it was suddenly snatched away by the person opposite her.
Chi Jinjin was stunned, her hand still holding the book. She looked through the gap and saw that the person opposite her was Nan Xuqiu!
"Senior?" Chi Jinjin said in surprise.
Nan Xuqiu smiled at her, then walked around to her and said, "You want to read this book too? How about I show it to you first?"
"No, no, no." Chi Jinjin said hurriedly, "Senior, you can take a look at the one you got first. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
"Well... okay." Nan Xuqiu said, "Anyway, I only have a few pages left to read, so how about..."
Nan Xuqiu asked, "Wait a minute over there, I'll give it to you after I'm done reading it."
"That's fine." Chi Jinjin said eagerly, "I also need to review my homework, so let's sit over there."
"Okay." Nan Xuqiu walked to where she pointed, pulled out a wooden chair from under the table and let Chi Jinjin sit down first.
Chi Jinjin watched him sit down opposite her and read the book seriously and attentively.
But Chi Jinjin couldn't concentrate. She always subconsciously wanted to look at him, but was afraid of being discovered by him, just like her thoughts.
She could only force herself to read the questions carefully, but as she read, her eyes moved to the ground beside her.
The sunlight shone in from the window, reflecting the table and the two of them on the white ground.
Even if she just looked at his shadow, Chi Jinjin felt very happy in her heart.
She quietly stretched her hand forward a little bit, and her shadow touched him, as if her shadow was caressing his head.
He read the book quietly and didn't say anything to her, but she felt that she had been waiting for this for a long time.
The shadow before her eyes was like an illustration. She wanted to cut it out, keep it for herself, and treasure it forever.
"Why do you want to read this book?" Nan Xuqiu suddenly asked.
Chi Jinjin came back to his senses and quickly replied, "Because I feel my English is too poor and I want to make up for it."
Nan Xuqiu looked at the thing under her hand and asked, "Can you show me your test paper?"
"Of course." Chi Jinjin nodded immediately and handed him the test paper.
Nan Xuqiu took it and flipped through it, then said, "Your English is not bad, but it does have some minor shortcomings. I suggest that if you want to make up for your shortcomings, instead of reading this book, you might as well try another one that will be more useful to you."
"Which book?" Chi Jinjin asked.
Nan Xuqiu stood up and took a book from the bookshelf with familiarity, pushed it in front of her and said, "This book is more suitable to make up for your current situation."
Although Chi Jinjin didn't know why he said this book was more suitable for her, she felt that what Nan Xuqiu said was not wrong.
So she said happily, "Thank you, senior."
"You're welcome." Nan Xuqiu on the opposite side replied.
Chi Jinjin glanced at him secretly while opening the book.
Nan Xuqiu suddenly stood up and said, "Xiao Chi, I'm going to the bathroom. Can you watch my things for me?"
"Yes, senior, you go ahead. I will keep a good eye on it for you." Chi Jinjin replied.
Nan Xuqiu put his phone on the table and walked towards the bathroom.
Chi Jinjin lowered her head and started reading, but after a while, the desktop seemed to vibrate. She looked up and saw that it was Nan Xuqiu's cell phone calling.
The three big words "Lin Shuya" appeared on the phone screen.
The phone kept ringing. Chi Jinjin looked back at the bathroom, but Nan Xuqiu still hadn't come out.
Looking at the vibrating phone, Chi Jinjin wondered whether she should help answer it.
But this is someone else's phone, and it doesn't seem appropriate to answer the call for someone else.
Chi Jinjin thought, let Senior Nan pick it up himself.
But the person named Lin Shuya was very persistent. After not answering the call the first time, she called again, and again, and again, and again, and again.
The phone finally stopped ringing, and Nan Xuqiu just came back from the bathroom.
He sat down and continued reading.
Chi Jinjin said, "Senior, someone has been calling you just now."
"Really?" Nan Xuqiu took the phone and took a look at it. His expression was calm and he didn't seem surprised. He thanked Chi Jinjin.
At this time, the phone rang again.
Chi Jinjin saw his finger hesitate on the screen, then slid up and answered the call.
I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone.
But Chi Jinjin vaguely heard a voice that seemed to be a girl's.
Nan Xuqiu replied calmly, "I just went to the bathroom and didn't bring my phone with me."
"The school library."
"Okay, got it."
He hung up the phone and said to Chi Jinjin, "Xiao Chi, I have something to do. I'm leaving now. You can prepare slowly."
"Okay." Chi Jinjin nodded.
But when I looked back and saw his back as he left, I suddenly felt empty in my heart, and my mood suddenly became depressed again.
Don’t think about it, don’t think about it!
Chi Jinjin patted his forehead.
"Read your books carefully, and don't let down the books that senior picked for you."
Chi Jinjin muttered to herself as she opened the book and began to read it carefully.
Tang Shi came out of the Internet cafe in the evening and was about to go back, but when he walked into the alley, he was suddenly blocked by several boys, all of whom were wearing the school uniform of No. 3 High School.
"Hey, little sister, lend us some money using Huabei." Seeing that Tang Shi was wearing the uniform of No. 1 High School, the boys blackmailed her even more arrogantly. In their eyes, the students of No. 1 High School were a bunch of weak nerds.
Tang Shi said angrily, "No, get out of here!"
"How dare you tell us to get out?" Several boys were a little surprised. One of them grabbed Tang Shi's shoulder and threatened, "How dare you not give us face? Why don't you ask who is protecting this road? It seems you don't want to get out of this road intact."
Although Tang Shi was brave, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous when facing so many people.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind, "Let go of your dirty hands!"
Everyone looked and found that it was Song poetry.
He walked over, pushed away the person who was holding Tang Shi's shoulders, pulled Tang Shi behind him, and said, "Do you want to die? This is my woman!"
"Your woman?" The boy sneered, "Who are you? Who do you think you are?"
Song Ci didn't say anything, but grabbed the collar of the boy who questioned her and swung his hand to punch him.
But he suddenly remembered Tang Shi's words and stopped just as he was about to throw a punch.
He glanced at Tang Shi beside him, let go of the boy, and said, "Get out of here right now!"
"You're the one who should get out!"
Unexpectedly, the next second, the boy punched Song Ci in the face.
Seeing this, Tang Shi was about to go over to help, but was stopped by the two men.
Song Ci pushed the man against the wall with his backhand, raised his fist to hit him, but put his hand down.
But the next moment, he was punched back, and the other two hit Song Ci together.
Tang Shi was restrained by two other boys.
"Don't touch her, you bastard!" Song Ci yelled.
The two men pressed his head against the wall.
I don't understand Tang poetry. Song poetry is obviously good at fighting, so why is it so weak today and doesn't even fight back?
Suddenly, applause broke out at the end of the alley.
Several people looked in the direction of the sound and saw Nan Xuqiu appear at the end of the alley. He leaned against the wall and said to them lazily, "It's really exciting."
"Big brother, it seems to be Nan Xuqiu!"
One of them immediately panicked and said, and the others realized something, quickly let go of Song Ci, and ran away in a panic.
"Hey! Song Ci, are you okay?" Tang Shi hurriedly asked Song Ci.
I saw that the corner of his mouth was injured and blood was flowing from his forehead.
He actually smiled and said, "I'm fine."
"It's alright!" Tang Shi hurriedly said to Nan Xuqiu, "Senior Nan, it's injured. Take it to the hospital right away."
"No." Nan Xuqiu said calmly, "I have an important appointment to keep. I'd like to trouble you, Tang Xuemei, to take more care of it."
Tang Shi didn't expect that Nan Xuqiu actually rejected him.
"No, senior, your brother is injured. Is it really okay for you to just ignore him?" Tang Shi said.
Nan Xuqiu smiled and said nonchalantly, "If I'm injured, it's not me."
After saying that, he left without even looking back.
Tang Shi really couldn't understand the friendship between these boys. If Jin Jin was injured, she would definitely be worried to death.
"It's just a minor injury, there's no need to go to the hospital. It will heal on its own in a while..." Song Ci said to Tang Shi.
Tang Shi turned around and said, "No, don't you know that many people have died because of these minor wounds that were not taken seriously?"
"Let's take you to the hospital. Even if you don't want to go, you have to go to the clinic." Tang Shi grabbed Song Cidao's arm through his clothes and pulled him out of the alley.
The hospital was too far away, so Tang Shi took Song Ci to a nearby clinic to treat the wound first.
"The wound is not serious, just apply some medicine yourself." The doctor in the clinic took a look and prescribed some ointment for them.
Song Ci opened the medicine bottle and rubbed it clumsily in front of the mirror.
Tang Shi couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he grabbed the medicine and said, "I'll rub it on you, don't move around."
Song Ci actually obeyed and didn't move.
His well-behaved appearance really made Tang Shi stunned, and he questioned whether the person in front of him was Song Ci.
Tang Shi dipped some medicine on a cotton swab and applied it to his wound.
"Hiss~" Song Ci said immediately, "Can you be gentler?"
"No!" Tang Shi said disdainfully, "You're a grown man, and you're afraid of pain. You're not ashamed of it. Can't you just bear it?"
"I..." Song Ci wanted to refute something, but in the end he didn't say it out loud. He muttered a little aggrievedly, "What's wrong with being a man? Men are not flesh and blood, so they can't feel pain..."
Tang Shi felt that what he said seemed to make sense.
"Hey, they hit you, why didn't you fight back?" Tang Shi couldn't help but ask.
Song Ci stammered, "I... didn't I tell you... that I would never bully others again..."
Tang Shi's hand suddenly stopped applying the medicine. She thought he was just talking casually, but she didn't expect him to be serious. No wonder she could see that he was so angry, his fists were clenched and the veins were bulging, but he still didn't hit him.
It turned out that it was all because of her words that he repeatedly restrained himself. He had a hot temper, but even though she hurt him, he didn't get angry.
"Are you stupid? I told you not to bully others, but I also didn't let you be bullied by others." Tang Shi said speechlessly, but her hand that applied the medicine became lighter and slower. She had never applied medicine so patiently and gently to anyone other than Chi Jinjin.
