There are always one or two weird people in every class, and Huo Changfeng from their class is one of them.
He has a strange personality and keeps to himself every day, as if he has endless sleep. He falls asleep as soon as he arrives at the classroom and never greets or communicates with anyone.
I didn't expect him to be so good at fighting.
Gu An and Nuan Nuan chased after him and asked excitedly - "I can't believe that you, who look skinny, are so good at fighting. Hey, don't walk so fast. We are classmates after all, can't you talk to me?"
Huo Changfeng's voice was cold and a little impatient - "There's nothing much to say. We are not the same kind of people. You should leave now."
Gu An——"What do you mean we are not the same kind of people? Aren't they all human beings?"
Nuannuan followed her brother closely, and it took a while before she realized that they were both still holding the bricks.
"Brother, brother, bricks."
Gu An said, "Give it to me, put it here."
Gu An found a place to put down the bricks and continued to follow Huo Changfeng.
The two saw that he did not go home, but walked into a fruit shop.
"Xiao Huo is here."
The fruit shop owner was greeting customers - "That's great, we're busy right now, go change your clothes."
"Um."
Huo Changfeng left. Gu An scratched his head. From the name he gave, this place didn't seem like Huo Changfeng's home.
"Are you two here to buy some fruit? See if you need anything."
The fruit shop owner greeted them warmly.
Gu An waved his hands - "No, we are Huo Changfeng's classmates."
"Hey, you are Xiao Huo's classmates?"
Gu An nodded - "Let's have some fruit, what do you want to eat, sister?"
"Lychees, cantaloupe, cherries, mangosteens..."
The fruits in this fruit shop are all very fresh. Nuannuan selected several kinds of fruits, and Gu An bought a lot of them at once.
The shop owner was immediately delighted and started chatting with them about Huo Changfeng unconsciously.
"Xiao Huo is a good kid, but he has bad luck. He has a gambler father. Besides his unreliable gambler father, there is only an elderly grandmother at home. Xiao Huo has to go out to work at such a young age to support not only himself but also his grandmother..."
Gu An and Nuan Nuan frowned when they heard this. They didn't expect the situation in Huo Changfeng's family to be like this.
"boss."
A thin boy wearing a dark apron walked out, with bruises and scars on his face, probably from the fight with those bad boys.
"You go ahead and do your work. I'll take care of them."
The boss smiled and nodded, then left to greet other people. Huo Changfeng stared at the two of them with his dark eyes, and weighed and packaged the things with quick movements of his hands.
"Three hundred and seventy-four dollars in total."
Gu An said "oh" and took out his mobile phone to scan the payment QR code.
"Well, we won't bother you anymore."
Huo Changfeng nodded calmly - "Goodbye."
Nuannuan stopped when she was walking through a pharmacy and tugged at her brother's clothes.
"Brother, wait a minute. I'll go in and buy some Band-Aids and alcohol."
As soon as Gu An heard it, he knew who she bought it for.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
In Gu An's opinion, since Huo Changfeng is a member of their Class 7, he should be taken good care of. After all, he is his brother, and he is a very loyal man.
After buying the things, the brother and sister went back to the fruit shop but didn't see Huo Changfeng, so she handed the things to the store manager and asked him to help pass them on.
The store manager said, "Don't worry, I'll give it to him right away. He's packing some fruit inside now. How about you guys go in and take a look?"
Nuan Nuan waved her hand - "No need, we won't bother Student Huo."
After saying that, he left with his brother.
Carrying so many things back, Gu An scratched his head - "I didn't expect Huo Tongxue's family situation to be like this."
Nuan Nuan kicked the pebbles on the road - "He goes to sleep in the classroom every day, maybe because he has so much work to do every day."
Gu An nodded - "I will help him more if I can in the future."
On the other side, in the fruit shop, after there were not so many people buying fruits outside, he went to find Huo Changfeng with the medicine.
"These were given to you by your two classmates. They may have seen the wound on your face. Changfeng, you'd better stop fighting. Otherwise, your grandma will be worried if she sees you."
Huo Changfeng pursed his lips and silently took the medicine from the plastic bag without saying a word.
"Well, just be careful. Okay."
Huo Changfeng didn't expect that they would go to buy medicine for him.
He squeezed the bag tightly in his hand.
The brother and sister carried the fruits home. Although these fruits were not as delicious as those from Nuannuan Farm, they still tasted very good and were very cheap.
The next day when school started, Huo Changfeng arrived at school on time again. There were dark circles under his eyes, and he fell asleep as soon as he sat down in the back.
He woke up after morning self-study class, and then came to Nuannuan and the others with a dozen dollars.
"Thank you for yesterday's medicine."
He still had a Band-Aid on his face.
"You don't have to pay. Those things are worthless. We are classmates and I just bought some medicine for you."
Huo Changfeng didn't say anything, he just stubbornly put the money down and left.
Nuannuan looked at the dozen or so dollars with a sad face.
As someone who had experienced poverty, she knew how important these seemingly simple dozen dollars were to him.
After Gu An came back and found out, he patted his chest and said, "That's nothing. Just look at me."
Having said that, he took the dozen yuan and left. After the break, he and several male classmates came to the classroom carrying large and small bags of things.
"I'm treating you all today. Thank you for your support. Come and get whatever you want to eat."
Everyone in Class 7 cheered immediately.
"Long live the squad leader!"
"Except for Huo Changfeng who was sleeping on the table and didn't respond, everyone else was here."
Afterwards, Gu An brought some bread, ham, and a bottle of milk and placed them on his table.
Huo Changfeng woke up and looked at him expressionlessly.
Gu An had a big smile on his face.
"Brother, these are all yours. Everyone in the class has them, so you can't get any special treatment."
With that he left.
Huo Changfeng looked at the things on the table and didn't put them back. He didn't have breakfast and was very hungry, so he just tore open a piece of bread and started eating.
Gu An returned to his seat and raised his chin to his sister. "How about brother, you are awesome, right?"
Nuannuan gave her brother a thumbs up.
"Brother is so awesome!"
Gu An was even happier.
