Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Revenge.
Ji Maili ran out of the dilapidated teaching building and looked back. It turned out that Chen Lu, that bastard, didn't even chase him out! Break up with him, jerk!
He kicked the stone at his feet and said, "Just stay in the haunted building by yourself. I'll scare you to death!"
I had just taken a few steps outside when three high school students came towards me.
Ji Maili thought he had seen a ghost. Normally no one would come to this haunted place, but today they were all running here!
Zhou Bingcheng was a problem figure in school when he was in the first year of high school. In his second year, everyone gave him a nice nickname, the school bully. Now that he is in his third year, he doesn't even take others seriously.
Last semester, Ji Maili had caused quite a stir by forming a clique to oppose Chen Lu. As the school bully, Zhou Bingcheng hated being upstaged the most. But back then, Ji Maili was the mayor's son, so he couldn't afford to offend him. But now...
"Isn't this our mayor's son? Why is he here alone?" Zhou Bingcheng pretended to knock his head. "Look at my memory. I actually forgot that your father was arrested for corruption and is now in jail."
The two people following Zhou Bingcheng joined in the laughter.
Ji Maili had heard such words too many times and was too lazy to pay attention to them.
Zhou Bingcheng stopped him and said, "Where are you going, Master Ji? Let's have a meal together."
Ji Maili: "No."
Zhou Bingcheng grabbed his arm and said, "You don't want to eat? You just don't want to eat?"
Chen Lu came out from the crack of the door while biting a piece of chocolate and saw Ji Maili hit Zhou Bingcheng's nose like a hungry tiger, and then he was lifted up by the two people next to him and beaten to the ground.
Shen Lu bit the chocolate into pieces with a crunch, and it was impossible not to look at it.
He put the remaining half of the chocolate in his pocket and pushed up his glasses. "Zhou Bingcheng, Wu Le, Li He, Class 3, Senior 3, have you finished cleaning the back building?"
Zhou Bingcheng failed to dodge Ji Maili's attack, and his nose was still sore.
Seeing Shen Lu, Zhou Bingcheng cursed, “Where the hell did you come from?”
Shen Lu walked over and said, "The school arranged for the student union to inspect the old building. What are you doing here?"
Ji Maili lay on the ground motionless.
Chen Lu knew him too well. He probably felt embarrassed to be seen by him and was hiding like an ostrich.
Ji Maili cursed madly in his heart: Damn it, this is so embarrassing, my image is completely ruined!
Zhou Bingcheng glanced at Ji Maili who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, took a step forward, and kicked him on the wrist.
Shen Lu frowned, "If I'm not mistaken, you are fighting?"
Zhou Bingcheng said shamelessly: "I said you are mistaken."
Shen Lu nodded, "Okay, since I was wrong, I won't inform the director. Clean up the warehouse in the back building and the men's restroom in the teaching building after school and then leave."
I'd rather fight with that nerdy student union guy than with anyone else. Zhou Bingcheng shook his neck and said, "It's just cleaning. I'm giving you a favor."
Zhou Bingcheng and the other three walked away, and Ji Maili, who was lying on the ground, moved slightly.
Just as Shen Lu was about to help him, he heard him say with a nasal voice: "You go too."
Shen Lu reached out to grab his arm, but Ji Maili shook his arm vigorously and yelled at him, "Get out!"
Ji Maili felt his waist tighten, and his whole body suddenly flew into the air. When his feet landed on the ground, he was already standing on the steps of the old building.
Ji Maili was shocked at how strong he became, and how he could actually carry him so far. But when he thought about how he told him to get out but he didn't, Young Master Ji got angry again: "You fucking——"
Shen Lu reached out and wiped his nose, and the blood from his nose rubbed his hand.
Shen Lu: "Paper towel."
Ji Maili touched his pocket and yelled at him, "The last one is for you!"
Chen Lu took out the paper ball that Ji Maili had thrown on the ground after he had just wiped his eyes from his trouser pocket and prepared to wipe it on Ji Maili's nose.
Ji Maili stared at his hand with wide eyes, "Chen Lu, do you want to die?"
Shen Lu paused with his outstretched hand.
The young master was a mysophobe, and Shen Lu was afraid that if this paper really rubbed his face, Master Ji would perform a live explosion for him on the spot.
Shen Lu threw away the paper and wiped the blood under his nose with the sleeve of his school uniform.
Ji Maili frowned and looked at his sleeves: "Your clothes are dirty too. You just rolled around in the curtains for a long time."
Shen Lu thought he was troublesome, "Then will you wipe it?"
Ji Maili groaned, "You've already wiped it, and you're asking now."
Ji Maili looked up at Shen Lu and threatened him without much force, "If you dare to laugh, you're done."
Chen Lu said, "What are you laughing at? Are you laughing at you cowering there and getting beaten?"
Ji Maili said loudly: "Then you didn't see that I was the first to attack."
"You won't get beaten if you don't fight." Shen Lu really wanted to know if his IQ had dropped again compared to two years ago.
Ji Maili picked up the paper towel on the ground and spread it out on the steps, then sat down with a limp. "You nerd, you know shit. I'm not as cowardly as you."
Shen Lu stood by and watched him.
His clothes were covered with footprints, and he didn't forget to put a piece of paper under himself when he sat down.
Problem!
Shen Lu: "Get up and follow me to the infirmary."
Ji Maili sat there motionless, "I'm not going."
Shen Lu stared at him for a while, really wanting to carry him away, "Is your arm okay?"
Ji Maili pressed his wrist, grimacing in pain: "Next time I will definitely twist his arm off."
Shen Lu felt a headache when he heard him speak: "Do you know that you can't fight?"
Ji Maili retorted loudly: "Bullshit, from childhood to adulthood, when was there ever a time when you were bullied that I didn't stand up for you? Now you say I can't fight? Have you forgotten who helped you beat up the fat kid in the next class in the third grade?"
Shen Lu nodded, "Yeah, you beat him, but he turned out to be fine, so you took a week of sick leave."
Ji Maili: “…”
It turns out that they are not good friends anymore. Good friends would not tear him down like this.
Shen Lu sat down next to him and took out half a piece of chocolate from his pocket. "Or?"
Ji Maili took a look and wanted to cry even more: "You've already eaten and you're still asking me?"
Shen Lu: "I broke it."
Ji Maili pointed at the tooth marks and asked, "Was this caused by a dog?"
Chen Lu bit the piece with the tooth mark, broke it down with his hand, and handed the remaining small section to him.
Ji Maili took it and put it in his mouth and chewed it, "It's not tasty."
Shen Lu said, "Just eat it. This is cheap. The ones you ate before were too expensive."
This sounded like a reminder of his family's bankruptcy. Ji Maili lowered his head and said, "You don't need to remind me. I know my family is bankrupt."
Chen Lu didn't mean that, but he knew that no matter how he denied it, Ji Maili would be very sensitive at this time. Chen Lu looked at him for a while and suddenly stood up.
Ji Maili looked up, "Where are you going?"
Shen Lu patted his pants and said, "Lunch break is not as long as you think."
Ji Maili whispered, "Nerd."
Shen Lu looked at him, "Aren't you going to eat?"
Ji Maili: "No."
Shen Lu: "Then you stay here, I'm leaving."
Shen Lu really left. Seeing him walk away without looking back, Ji Maili's nose felt sore again.
He picked up the chocolate wrapper on the ground and said aggrievedly: "Can't you give me the whole piece? Such a small amount is not enough for anyone to eat. You are so stingy."
After school in the evening, most of the teaching building was empty, and Shen Lu carried his schoolbag to the men's restroom.
Zhou Bingcheng was mopping the floor with a mop in one hand and a cigarette in the other. When he saw Shen Lu coming, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it. "President Shen is here to inspect our work?"
Shen Lu walked to the partition and said, “It’s not clean here.”
Zhou Bingcheng came over with a mop, "Where?"
Shen Lu pointed, "There, there's a cigarette butt."
Zhou Bingcheng propped the mop against the door and walked in to pick up the cigarette butt when the surroundings suddenly darkened. He turned around and looked at the closed door: "Are you fucking sick?"
Shen Lu used a mop to hold the partition door closed. "It depends on how others interpret it. Generally speaking, my behavior is called revenge. It has nothing to do with whether I'm sick or not."
Zhou Bingcheng was in no hurry to leave. "Revenge? For Ji Maili?"
Chen Lu didn't say anything. After a while, Zhou Bingcheng seemed to hear the sound of a metal lighter, opening and closing frequently one after another.
He was sure it was a lighter.
But why would a nerd carry a lighter?
...He doesn't want to burn down the teaching building, does he?!
Zhou Bingcheng asked: "What do you want to do?"
Shen Lu played with the lighter in his hand, "I probably want to break one of your arms."
Zhou Bingcheng laughed. "Just because I kicked Ji Maili, you want my arm? You two have a bad relationship, don't you? He's always giving you trouble, and I'm doing you a favor. You don't thank me, but you're picking on me. Are you okay?"
Chen Lu: "Perhaps I prefer to do it myself?"
Zhou Bingcheng thought the nerd's train of thought was amazing. "You're quite interesting. What's the matter? No one else can touch him unless you do something?"
Shen Lu spoke slowly and calmly: "You shouldn't have troubled him today."
Zhou Bingcheng was not afraid: "I found it, what can you do about it?"
Shen Lu took out the key and said, "It's not good. I'll let you reflect on it here for one night."
Zhou Bingcheng kicked the toilet door and asked, "Are you fucking crazy?"
Shen Lu passed the cigarettes and lighter in from under the door, "To cheer you up."
Shen Lu left and locked the bathroom door.
There are not many people attending evening self-study classes at night. Even if this floor is locked, there are other toilets available, so no one will notice whether there is someone inside.
......
In the back building warehouse, Shen Lu kicked Wu Le and Li He down one by one, and the old tables and chairs collapsed to the ground. Shen Lu picked up his schoolbag and patted it, his tone as calm as when the student union president was giving instructions: "Clean up before leaving."
Wu Le and Li He were both stunned. Chen Lu came over and beat them up without saying a word. After the fight, he actually asked them to clean up the battlefield?
Shen Lu turned around and saw a figure hiding behind the door. When he walked over, the person had already run away.
At the gate, Zhou Luyang was stopped by Shen Lu as soon as he left the school gate. Zhou Luyang turned around and was about to run away, but Shen Lu grabbed his schoolbag and said, "I'll buy you some milk tea."
Zhou Luyang shook his head and gestured, "No, no, no, I'm trying to stop breastfeeding recently."
Zhou Luyang, who was weaning off milk, was pinned down in a milk tea shop next to the school. There were a lot of people coming and going here, and he thought Shen Lu wouldn't beat him up here.
Besides, he didn't do anything to get beaten.
Zhou Luyang swallowed in fear, and suddenly a cup of milk tea was placed in front of him. Zhou Luyang turned around and saw Shen Lu standing behind him, drinking the same cup in his hand.
Shen Lu sat down opposite him: "Yam Bobo, I don't know what you like to drink, so I bought what I like."
Zhou Luyang nodded quickly: "I love to drink, I love to drink."
Zhou Luyang picked up the straw and tried to insert it into the milk tea, but failed after several attempts.
Shen Lu: "Did you see everything?"
With a click, the straw was finally inserted.
Zhou Luyang shook his head desperately, "I didn't see anything."
Chen Lu put his glasses back on, looking gentle and refined again, but Zhou Luyang could not forget the scene where he had just knocked down two senior high school students by himself. The action was so clean and neat.
Shen Lu said, "If they really didn't see anything, when they hear me ask this, they will usually ask, 'What did you see?' instead of 'I didn't see anything.'"
Zhou Luyang: “….”
Can you please stop trying to trick me, Mr. Academic?
Shen Lu took a sip of milk tea: “Do me a favor.”
Zhou Luyang had a bad feeling: "How can I not help?"
"What do you think?" Shen Lu raised his eyebrows, his expression not quite in line with his usual image. "You are in the same class as Ji Maili, right?"
Zhou Luyang felt that this job was not an easy one, "...Yeah."
Shen Lu: "I won't let you do anything else, just help me watch him. I want to know when he goes to class every day, when he skips class, where he goes, who he meets, and who he fights with."
Zhou Luyang was going crazy, "How could I possibly know where he went and who he met and who he fought with!"
Chen Lu tilted his head in confusion. "Huh? Aren't you a know-it-all? I heard that there's nothing you don't know about school."
Bai Xiaosheng was the name Zhou Luyang gave himself. Few people in the class knew it. He looked at Shen Lu in surprise, "Am I really that famous?"
Shen Lu nodded in defiance of his conscience, "Well, so you should be able to do what I ask, right?"
If that were the case, Zhou Luyang really had no excuse to refuse. He took a sip of milk tea and said, "To be honest, Ji Maili and I haven't spoken much. It's impossible for him to tell me where he's going to meet someone."
This Chen Lu understood him better than he did. He said, "He has a bad temper and is a bit of a hedgehog, but he's not too difficult to approach. At most, his words are a bit harsh. You give it a try. I think you can do it."
Zhou Luyang felt that even giving him Yunnan Baiyao might not be effective at this time, so there was no need for any inspirational talk.
Zhou Luyang asked Shen Lu, "How do you know him so well?"
Shen Lu: "Have you never heard of knowing yourself and knowing your enemy?"
Zhou Luyang's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, they've gone bankrupt, what else do you want to do?
Shen Lu kindly reminded, “Don’t tell him what I said to you today, otherwise I’m afraid he won’t be able to find me and will beat you first.”
Zhou Luyang: “…”
No, are you sure you don't want to use Ji Maili to silence me?
