Chapter 37 Xiaojue Protects His Shortcomings
At the entrance of Federal Central Primary School.
When Nangong Jue got out of his fully automatic luxury smart car, he happened to see Shen Jisui.
The old interstellar bus looked dilapidated and drove slowly, making clanging noises, as if it was about to fall apart at any time.
The carriage was packed with people and the temperature was as high as a sauna. The smell of sweat, cheap perfume, rotten fruits and vegetables, leftover food and other odors mixed together and made people feel sick.
This was the only car that could go directly from the slums to the center of Federal City.
Shen Jisui was also among them.
The boy was squeezed between the crowd. He stood on tiptoe with all his strength, and his white fingers tightly grasped the handle above his head, thus helping him to keep his balance.
The car arrived at the station.
The crowd rushed down, and Chen Jisui was pushed and shoved to get off the car.
Chen Jisui didn't know who tripped him, but he stumbled and fell heavily to the ground.
The young man remained expressionless and quickly stood up. He brushed the dust off his body and continued walking forward.
"Student Shen."
Chen Jisui turned around when he heard the sound, and Nangong Jue had already run to his side.
"What's the matter?" Shen Jisui asked calmly.
Although the two teenagers were in the same school and grade, they were not in the same class, so they were not very familiar with each other. Their only interaction was the tutoring class they had two days ago.
"Student Shen, do you have to take the bus here every day?"
Young friendships are always simple. Simply because Chen Jisui helped him two days ago, in Nangong Jue's heart, Chen Jisui was already half a friend of his.
Nangong Jue has always been loyal to his friends and is very loyal.
Shen Jisui said: “Yeah.”
"Aren't you tired of riding that car?"
Nangong Jue had never seen such a small and broken car. Just looking at it from the outside, he felt it was crowded, with people packed together and no place to stand.
"Not bad." Shen Jisui answered honestly.
The bus leaves from the slum bus station at six o'clock every morning. He has to get up at five o'clock in the morning and walk a kilometer to the bus station to catch the bus.
There were a few times when the driver started early and the bus had already left when he arrived at the bus stop, so he had to arrive early.
But the advantage is that the fare is cheap.
It’s okay once you get used to it.
"Or I'll let my driver pick you up next time. My car should be much more comfortable than the bus." Nangong Jue suggested kindly.
This way, Shen won’t have to squeeze into the bus every day.
Chen Jisui looked at Nangong Jue strangely, not quite understanding why he suddenly cared so much about him.
Then Shen Jisui politely declined: "Thank you, but no, it's not on the way."
It is indeed not on the way. Nangong's family is a wealthy area, and the slums are distributed at both ends of the federal city.
"oh."
Nangong Jue didn't force it, and went to the teaching building with Shen Jisui carrying his schoolbag.
Sudden.
Someone patted Nangong Jue on the shoulder: "Hey, Nangong Jue, good morning!"
Nangong Jue turned around and saw his classmate Zhao Xiaohang. Although they were in the same class, they didn't usually interact much.
Nangong Jue was a little uncomfortable with Zhao Xiaohang's sudden warmth towards him, but he still politely greeted him: "Good morning."
After receiving the response, Zhao Xiaohang put his hand on Nangong Jue's shoulder more wantonly, acting as if he was very familiar with Nangong Jue, and whispered in his ear with disdain: "Why are you walking with such a person?"
From a distance, it looked like Zhao Xiaohang was whispering to Nangong Jue, but he spoke very loudly, and it was obvious that he was deliberately speaking for Chen Jisui to hear.
"What?"
Nangong Jue didn’t understand what Zhao Xiaohang meant by this, and he quickly glanced at Shen Jisui’s expression.
The person involved, Chen Jisui, acted as if he hadn't heard what was said just now, and his face still had an indifferent expression.
"It's the guy next to you!" Zhao Xiaohang glanced at Chen Jisui with disdain. "Look at how tattered he is, and the smell of poverty is almost making me vomit! My mother says that such a poor guy might have some kind of disease! Master Jue should stay away from such a poor guy!"
Chen Jisui still didn't react when he heard this, as if Zhao Xiaohang wasn't scolding him.
But Young Master Nangong couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately shook off the hand that was hitting his shoulder, shouting: "Take your dirty hands away!"
"You...what do you mean?" Zhao Xiaohang was stunned, and for a moment he felt a little embarrassed. His face flushed red, "Aren't we good friends? You want to go against me for this poor guy?!
"Look at what he is wearing. I don't know where he picked up these clothes. They are so tacky! Look at me. This bag and shoes are the latest products released by Adidas! How can he compare to me? We are from the same world. A poor guy like him is not worthy of being your friend!" Zhao Xiaohang's tone was full of superiority.
Nangong Jue was so angry that he rolled his eyes at Zhao Xiaohang. His protective nature took over and he retorted bluntly: "Student Shen is better than you in every way! He can make his own money, can you?"
"I..." Zhao Xiaohang was stunned by what Nangong Jue said, and he stammered for a long time without being able to speak.
Nangong Jue didn't give him a chance to respond. "Besides showing off your family's money, what else can you do? You're a loser! Also, classmate Shen, did you get first place in the grade again on the quiz this time?"
"Yeah." Chen Jisui responded cooperatively.
"The last time I went to the homeroom teacher's office, I happened to see your grades. Mr. Zhao, I'm afraid your total score on this quiz isn't as high as Mr. Shen's score in one subject, right?"
After his lungs were punctured, Zhao Xiaohang immediately fell silent, his face turning blue and purple with anger.
"You...just wait for me! I'm going to make you pay!"
Zhao Xiaohang angrily threatened the two of them and ran away.
"Come if you want. Am I afraid of you?"
Apart from his biological sister and father, Nangong Jue has never been afraid of anyone since he was a child.
Nangong Jue glanced at Chen Jisui with a look of disappointment, "Aren't you quite smart? He just said that to you, why didn't you say anything back like a piece of wood?"
"No need." Shen Ji said calmly.
Nangong Jue was puzzled. "He said that about you, aren't you angry?"
He always has a sour face and doesn't look like someone who is easy to mess with.
Shen Jisui said calmly: "I'm not angry."
Because of his fate of being the unlucky star that brought disaster to his father and mother, he was not liked by others since he was a child. Shen Jisui was numb to the slander and curses against him.
Although he still cared a little at the beginning, he gradually realized that if he got angry for every word he said to him, he would have been angry to death.
So later, he just pretended not to hear it, but he didn't expect Nangong Jue's reaction to be even bigger than his.
Chen Jisui glanced sideways and asked, "Why are you speaking for me?"
He could have pretended not to see it, or just laughed it off, or even agreed with Zhao Xiaohang, but Nangong Jue chose the most offensive way.
