At that time, Xiao Ji was in the first grade of junior high school, and he was in the third grade. The two had been childhood sweethearts, and both sides' parents had a good relationship and got along very well with each other.
But because of schoolwork, Xu Jing was often so busy that he was dizzy. He was doing exercises every day and often had no contact with Xiao Ji.
Xu Jing was very happy to know that Xiao Ji went to the same key junior high school as him. Both sets of parents were also very happy and they even celebrated it specially.
The good times didn’t last long, as Xiao Ji became a loner and didn’t like to talk.
Moreover, he had just entered a key junior high school and had not yet changed his old habits. His grades dropped quickly, and he was targeted by teachers and classmates.
The teacher dislikes Xiao Ji because he is afraid that he will delay getting his bonus, and his classmates bully him simply because he is too easy to talk to.
Moreover, Xiao Ji's parents work outside all year round and are never at home, which gives them a reason to bully Xiao Ji.
At the beginning, he took the lead in targeting Xiao Ji, but Xiao Ji was a loner by nature and didn't take it seriously, so he continued to live his life as he pleased.
But they had no intention of letting Xiao Ji go. They snatched the living expenses given to Xiao Ji by his parents and pushed Xiao Ji around like a pet.
Xiao Ji didn't respond when they scolded him or hit him, and just let them bully him.
He was not talkative to begin with, and after being bullied he became even more taciturn and less talkative.
At that time, Xu Jing was very busy with his studies and didn't take it seriously.
Until a girl in the third grade of junior high school confessed to Xiao Ji and was rejected by Xiao Ji. It turned out that this girl had a complicated background and was in cahoots with the gangsters.
After being rejected, she became angry and humiliated, and then she exaggerated and said a lot of bad things about Xiao Ji, which made the gangster even angrier.
After Xiao Ji got out of school, they blocked the way and more than a dozen people beat up a boy who was as thin as a bean sprout.
It was just a coincidence that day. Xu Jing was supposed to go home early after school, but then he remembered that he had forgotten to bring something, so he went back to get it.
On the way back, Xu Jing saw a dozen people beating a boy.
It was a little hard to see at night, and based on the principle of less trouble is worse than more, he was about to leave when he saw Xiao Ji's profile.
Without saying a word, Xu Jing threw the things away without thinking and rushed over to hug Xiao Ji.
"Xu, Brother Xu?"
Xiao Ji was beaten black and blue. He looked for a long time under the light before he saw that it was Xu Jing who was protecting him.
He originally thought he was about to be beaten to death, and he wanted to just die like that.
He didn't expect that the older brother next door would come running to save him regardless of anything.
The others were about to attack Xu Jing, and even wanted to pull Xu Jing away, scolding him for meddling in other people's business.
At that time, Ji Xiaobing clearly remembered Xu Jing holding him tightly in his arms, his voice unusually firm.
"He's mine, I'm protecting him. I can't let you bully him."
Ji Xiaobing couldn't remember what happened next.
He only remembered that if Xu Jing had not stepped forward to protect him, he might have been beaten to death by the dozen or so of them.
The emotion in my heart is beyond words, and tears can't stop falling.
Ji Xiaobing thought, he didn't cry even when he was beaten by more than a dozen people, so why did he cry when someone protected him?
Later, Xu Jing scared off those thugs with some words.
He said the police would be here soon and told them to leave quickly if they knew what was good for them.
As if in response to what he said, a few thugs heard the sirens and saw the police cars getting closer and closer. They were so scared that they covered their heads and ran in all directions.
Xu Jing's heart finally relaxed. He held his hand, complaining as he pulled him back. "Next time you get bullied, tell me. Don't keep it all in your heart, okay?"
After returning home, Xu Jing fetched the medicine box from home and treated the wounds on his face and upper body.
The way he handled the matter carefully touched Ji Xiaobing's tear glands. He seemed to have found his soul. He hugged him tightly and cried loudly in his arms.
While comforting him, Xu Jing thought to himself that the medicine must have been applied in vain and he didn't know when these injuries would heal.
Xiao Ji's parents were not at home, so he acted as a half-parent and asked the teacher for leave, and let him go back to school after his wound was healed.
In order to prevent Xiao Ji from being bullied by those people, Xu Jing figured out a way to go to and from school with him every day.
He found out who Xiao Ji had offended, and anonymously found the girl's specific information. He wrote a letter of accusation, included the girl and several other thugs, and gave it to the dean of studies.
Xu Jing was afraid that the dean would not deal with this mess, so he copied a report and submitted it to the Education Bureau.
The principal really didn't take the fights between students seriously, but the Education Bureau was different. It happened to be a period of severe crackdowns, so the management was particularly strict.
Even though he was anonymous, Xu Jing's name was immediately found out, as well as his motives for doing these things.
People from the Education Bureau came and held a meeting with the principal, the dean of studies, and the class teacher, and also called the two little guys along.
The final result of the negotiation between the two parties was that the gangster from the ordinary class was expelled, and the girl who caused the incident was also expelled.
Xiao Ji's classmates who bullied him received punishments of varying degrees.
Xu Jing also suggested changing his class from a key class to an ordinary class.
Based on the principle of less trouble is worse than more, the head teacher of the original class was very happy for Xiao Ji to change classes, and Xiao Ji also agreed to change the environment.
After Xiao Ji transferred to a regular class, the learning environment was not as harsh as before.
The classmates are also friendly with each other. Although there are occasional bumps and conflicts, they are not serious. The atmosphere is better than that of the previous class.
Influenced by the environment, his academic performance got better and better, and he jumped from the middle level to the top.
At the end of the second half of the semester in the first year of junior high school, he was in the top ten in the grade.
This made the head teacher of the original class regretful to death. He tried to ask Xiao Ji to go back several times, but Xiao Ji refused every time.
After being lectured by Xu Jing, he learned to take responsibility for things on his own. He should refuse what he should refuse and not let others take advantage of him.
Xiao Ji originally regarded Xu Jing as an older brother. After this time together, an inexplicable feeling took root in his heart and reached its peak in the third year of junior high school.
He wanted to wait until Xu Jing was in his third year of high school, when he would be an adult and he would have the courage to confess his feelings.
But things didn't always go as planned. Xiao Ji finally got into a key high school and even prepared a love letter, but Xu Jing's family suffered a major blow and moved away.
Ji Xiaobing originally thought that as long as the person was fine, it would be fine. After all, his brother Xu was still very outstanding. They would meet in college and there would still be a chance for him to confess his love.
Later, Ji Xiaobing learned that Xu's father had kidney disease and needed a kidney transplant, and in order to provide Xu's father with a kidney, the Xu family sold everything they could.
Although Xu Jing was admitted to a key university, he dropped out after one year.
No one knew what he did after he dropped out of school. The affairs of the Xu family were getting further and further away from him, and he couldn't find out anything even if he tried to find out.
