Qin Boyan raised an eyebrow.
"I'm not as skilled as you, so I admit defeat. Do whatever you want with me!"
There's always someone better, and Brother Li isn't stupid; he understands this. Besides, if he were truly brainless, he wouldn't have gotten into high school. Therefore, he clearly understands that he underestimated Qin Boyan's abilities.
He wanted to rebel, but it was too difficult to do so. He could only bite the bullet and blurt out this sentence to prove that he was a man, so as not to be ridiculed by Qin Boyan.
But on the other hand, while saving face was one thing, Li Dahai was also somewhat uneasy.
He was afraid that Qin Boyan would really beat him up badly, which would inevitably require spending money at the clinic and would also frighten his grandmother... However, it was a fact that he was not as skilled as Qin Boyan, and since he had started the trouble, if Qin Boyan decided to teach him a lesson later, he would have no choice but to endure it.
—We can't beat them, and we can't fight back.
To put it simply, we are at their mercy, like fish on a chopping board!
"Do you think I'm like you, arrogant and conceited just because I'm big and have some mediocre skills? I pick fights with people whenever I don't like them?"
Qin Boyan patted Li Dahai's face lightly twice, then released him, stood up, straightened his military green jacket, took his canvas backpack from the handlebars and hung it around his neck, steadied the handlebars with his feet on the kickstand, and said:
"No matter what your reason is for picking a fight with me, I'll let you off the hook for now. But if you offend me again, I won't hesitate to settle all the old and new scores together."
Hearing the warning in Qin Boyan's words, Li Dahai pursed his lips and did not respond.
However, Qin Boyan didn't care at all. He straddled the car seat and called to Qin Yaxin, "Let's go home."
Qin Yaxin responded and quickly sat on the back of the bicycle.
"Second Brother, are we just going to let that bad boy go like this?"
"Civilized people don't resort to violence easily."
With his foot on the pedal, Qin Boyan rode his bicycle forward two or three zhang in an instant.
"All you do is pat yourself on the back!"
Qin Yaxin pouted and said, "Back in Beijing, you were a notorious troublemaker at school. Fighting was like an everyday occurrence for you. How dare you call yourself a 'civilized person' now!"
"Haven't you heard of the saying 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river'?"
Qin Boyan casually gave a suggestion.
Are you still trying to say that a prodigal son's return is more precious than gold?
Are you just endlessly patting yourself on the back? So narcissistic, ugh!
Qin Boyan: "Is this a mockery of me?"
Qin Yaxin: "Actually, you could have used a declarative sentence."
"Taunts have no effect on me."
As long as he's thick-skinned enough, he can mock me all he wants; it won't hurt him.
"I know your skin is as thick as a city wall," Qin Yaxin said, then paused and steered the conversation toward Li Dahai, adding, "That bad boy caused you trouble, and you suspect he was acting on someone's orders?"
You're overthinking it.
Qin Boyan responded.
"Are you sure I'm overthinking this, or that you have some doubts?"
With a slight frown, Qin Yaxin sensed that something was amiss.
"I just found it strange, so I casually tricked the other person."
This was the truth. Qin Boyan knew very well that he had no grudge against Li Dahai. Although they were classmates, they rarely had any contact. But in the past two days, Li Dahai suddenly seemed to have his eye on him, always picking fights and making trouble for him. He even blocked him on his way home from school today. He couldn't help but think about it.
"He seems like a scoundrel to me, you'd better stay away from him in the future!"
Qin Yaxin offered advice.
"Have I been talking to a brick wall?" Qin Boyan said with a hint of disdain. "I clearly told you that it was Li Dahai who was causing trouble for me these past few days. It wasn't me who went to him hoping to do something."
"Second brother, you'd better speak properly! I'm just concerned about you, and you're saying hurtful things to me. Don't you know your place?"
What kind of person is she? Is it wrong for her to care about him?
"Alright, it's my fault for being uncultured. Please forgive me, I'm a magnanimous person!"
Qin Boyan admitted his mistake.
"If you keep talking like this, you might never find a wife!"
Qin Yaxin swung her legs and said, "Boys should be mature and steady like Big Brother and Brother Wu, but Second Brother, you are obviously a bit frivolous. If I were looking for a partner, I definitely wouldn't choose someone like you."
"You know too much about saving people!"
Qin Boyan did not refute, but his tone was clearly tinged with personal emotion.
"You're right! I wouldn't say I'm an omniscient person, but I certainly know a lot!"
Qin Yaxin was a little smug.
Qin Boyan scoffed and said, "You say I'm patting myself on the back? I think you're just as good."
"..."
Qin Yaxin was speechless for a moment, and at the same time felt a little guilty.
-
Li Dahai got up from the ground and stared intently as Qin Boyan drove Qin Yaxin away. For a long time, he did not look away.
"Brother, it's getting late, let's head back."
Wang Pengchang walked over to Li Dahai, helped him brush the dirt off his clothes, and whispered something.
I underestimated him!
As the music faded, Li Dahai turned around and strode forward.
He looked like a wilted eggplant, listless and dejected. Wang Pengchang followed closely behind, carrying both of their schoolbags.
"Actually, Qin Boyan is not bad, brother, why don't you just..."
"Alright, you don't need to say anything more, I know what to do."
Interrupting Wang Pengchang made Li Dahai very annoyed.
Upon reaching the main street of the town, Wang Pengchang bid farewell to Li Dahai, handing him his schoolbag. Li Dahai took it without saying a word, then turned onto another street and headed towards his home.
"Hello!"
Suddenly, Li Dahai heard a somewhat familiar female voice. He looked up at the source of the voice and saw the woman who had approached him two days ago standing on the street not far ahead, staring straight at him.
Li Dahai paused for a moment, then walked towards the other person.
"How's it going?"
"Um."
"Don't lie to me!"
"If I'm paid to do something, I certainly won't cheat you."
"That's good."
"You're busy, I'm going home."
"Why are you in such a hurry? We agreed that you would teach those siblings a lesson for a whole week. It's only been two or three days. Don't let me find out you've cut corners."
"rest assured."
After giving his response, Li Dahai continued walking home.
The woman he was talking to was dressed plainly, with a dark purple scarf around her neck, which covered her mouth and nose, making it difficult to see her face.
He's just a petty thug, what's there to be arrogant about?
Watching Li Dahai's retreating figure, the woman felt quite dissatisfied. She felt that Li Dahai had taken fifty yuan from her but did not respect her as his employer, which was extremely rude!
After a short while, seeing that no one was deliberately looking at her, the woman turned and walked towards the main street. She had taken leave to come to town, and it was getting late. She had to get back to the brigade before sunset.
She didn't want to come here, but she was worried that the man named Li Dahai would take the money and not do the job, so she couldn't help but ask for half a day off.
Song Lan, you bitch!
