Chapter 618: Xiao Jingrun (5)
As the morning light breaks, sunlight shines through the mottled window frames into the dilapidated courtyard building.
The walls, which originally looked dilapidated and gray, seemed to be repainted under the light, shining with a faint golden glow.
Wherever there is light, there is always a vibrant vitality.
Xiao Jingrun was wearing a neat college uniform. The moment he opened the door, a beam of light shone on the boy's face, which looked a little immature but full of vitality.
Jiang Zhiyue pushed open the door at the same time, caught off guard, and the two people bumped into each other.
Xiao Jingrun's eyes deepened for a moment, and then his expression remained as gentle as jade, and he said, "Good morning."
There is a huge difference between the uniforms of boys' schools and girls' schools. The uniforms of boys' schools are designed to better fit the tall and energetic bodies of adolescent boys.
The uniform of the girls' school consists of a shirt and a knee-length skirt. The pure white skirt has turned slightly white after being washed many times, but it still exudes a sense of purity.
Xiao Jingrun smelled the fragrant scent from last night again, and couldn't help but think of the scene last night.
He needed to remind her that the curtains didn't block out the light, but before Xiao Jingrun could say anything, the girl hurried away with her schoolbag on her back.
The canvas shoes stepped on the bluestone steps, making a rapid sound.
She seemed to dislike him a little?
Xiao Jingrun didn't know what he had done to make her so wary? Was it because of the love letter?
But she did not help her friend give him the love letter.
Fortunately, matters of love are not what Xiao Jingrun cares about.
He followed closely behind her. Although Jiang Zhiyue ran fast, she had not gone far before she was blocked by someone at the end of the alley.
"Hey, hey, you little mute?" A few hooligans were leaning against the wall, wearing vests, dyed yellow hair, and looking nonchalant.
"Brother Niu, you're wrong. This girl is not mute, her mother is." Several people nearby interrupted.
"This girl is a famous beauty in our Central City. Wow, she's really..."
Naked eyes, looking without any concealment.
I don’t know if it was the stench coming from the nearby sewer, or the playful looks from the thugs across the street.
"Little sister, do you want us brothers to protect you in this area? Brother Niu recently bought a new motorcycle, it's really cool, how about taking you for a ride?"
"Hey, little sister, don't act so noble. No matter how fast you run, don't think we can't catch you."
Jiang Zhiyue's way was blocked, and it was difficult to tell whether this was normal or not. At least Xiao Jingrun lagged behind by a few steps, and looking at Jiang Zhiyue's calm reaction, he was certain that this was normal.
This area is a mixed bag with all kinds of people. The only difference from the chaotic downtown and slums is that there is a police station here. This chaotic place has a subtle sense of order.
"Girl, you didn't become dumb like your dumb mom did you? I don't like playing with dumb people. They can't make any sound and it's not fun at all."
The man called "Brother Niu" was big and strong and very impatient.
He flicked the cigarette butt on the ground, walked over in slippers, and touched the girl's face.
Jiang Zhiyue dodged the first time and tried to escape when she found an opportunity, but someone grabbed the shoulder strap of her schoolbag tightly.
"Fuck, we came all the way to see you, don't drink for me!"
This is the norm in Midtown.
When Grandpa Xiao was president, young Xiao Jingrun often haunted the study. He would hide under the desk and eavesdrop on the conversations between his grandfather and his subordinates.
He had heard about the cover-up of data falsification, the disguise of the chaotic conditions in various urban areas, and some people even said bluntly that they would abandon the people in the downtown area and slums, while managing the central city while allowing the people to fight among themselves.
Because they are busy fighting among the same class, they have no time to care about other things and lose the motivation to move up.
The scene that appeared in Xiao Jingrun's eyes at this moment confirmed the plan of his staff. He kept watching, treating their interaction as a field observation of political science.
But in the end, Jiang Zhiyue struggled to push the man in front of her away. The man was furious and raised his big palm like a palm fan. When he was about to slap her in the face, the girl grabbed the man's big hand even faster.
He is tall and looks young, but his unique sense of strength is unquestionable.
"There was a murder in this building last month. There have been patrolling police nearby. If you don't want to make a big deal out of it, get out of here." His voice sounded oppressive, which was not in line with his age.
He grabbed the man's wrist. It didn't seem like he used much strength, but the man's face was distorted with pain. "Where did you come from, little brat!? Do you think the police will mind their business here?"
"Quick, let me go!!"
"Where did you come from, you bastard? Let our boss go!" Several thugs shouted fiercely and wanted to fight with Xiao Jingrun without saying a word.
Jiang Zhiyue quickly pulled the hem of Xiao Jingrun's clothes. Xiao Jingrun immediately understood what she meant, glanced at her, and then quickly let go of her hand.
The girl took his hand and they both fled the scene in a hurry.
A few thugs chased them, running wildly through the alleys, and in the blink of an eye, the two men disappeared.
In the dark alley, the dilapidated high wall blocked the sunlight. Jiang Zhiyue leaned against the wall and panted, "Thank you."
"You should let me teach these hooligans a lesson. When they are hurt, they won't dare to cause trouble again." In fact, Xiao Jingrun didn't like to run away. He inherited the ferocity of his politician family in his bones, and his gentle appearance was a complete illusion.
"You punished this gang of hooligans today. There are countless hooligans in this area. You can't teach them all a lesson. On the contrary, you will make enemies with others. It will be troublesome if they come to you." Jiang Zhiyue calmed down and said, "Those gangsters just now were all strangers. I have never seen them before."
Xiao Jingrun felt that something was wrong with these words, so he lowered his eyes and looked at her, his gaze slowly moving downwards.
She had just run away holding his hand, and the two of them ran so fast, with the thugs chasing them so relentlessly, that they momentarily ignored each other's tightly clasped hands.
The girl's hands were so soft that even her fingertips were warm.
The boy's hand with distinct knuckles wrapped around the back of her hand. They leaned against the wall and breathed secretly. The school uniforms set them off. If you didn't know better, you would think they were a couple secretly dating.
For a moment, this felt even stranger.
Xiao Jingrun subconsciously pulled his hand back. Jiang Zhiyue realized something and let go of his hand as if she had been electrocuted. A blush appeared on her face, so red that a faint pink appeared on the tips of her ears.
She whispered sorry.
Xiao Jingrun pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
Jiang Zhiyue told him that every area has a boss, and the area where she lives also has a leader.
