Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Admit your mistake.
From the middle class to the senior class of kindergarten, Ji Maili and Shen Lu had always been deskmates. When they entered elementary school, they entered the same school, but were not in the same class. Ji Maili was in Class 1 and Shen Lu was in Class 8.
Ji Maili was throwing a tantrum at home and asked Liang Lin to take over his shift. Ji Kai didn't want to use too many connections to cause trouble for his work, so he didn't agree.
Ji Maili refused to do so: "Then I will carry the table to Class 8 myself!"
Liang Lin laughed at him, "If I didn't know that Chen Lu was a boy, I would have thought you were entangled with some girl. Why do you always cling to her?"
Ji Maili sat on the ground and kicked his legs: "I want Shen Lu, he is better than the little girl."
Liang Lin always wanted to laugh when she thought of the sworn brotherhood act her silly son had done. "You made sworn brotherhood look like a wedding ceremony. Only you could do that."
Class 1 and Class 8 were located at the easternmost and westernmost ends respectively. During each break, Ji Maili would cross the corridor to Class 8 to look for Chen Lu. As time went on, the head teacher of Class 8 began to suspect that he had been keeping the class late or that the kid had skipped class. Why could he be seen every time the bell rang and he opened the door?
One day, Ji Maili was late for get out of class. As soon as he entered Class 8, he saw two boys throwing Chen Lu's schoolbag on the ground and stepping on it.
Ji Maili screamed "Ah!" and rushed in like a little firecracker, knocking the two boys aside. "If anyone dares to bully him, I'll fight you!"
Chen Lu looked at Ji Maili with eyes red with anger, and quietly put down the hardcover dictionary that was clenched in his hand.
Shen Lu squatted down to pick up the books, and Ji Maili helped him pick them up, "They are all dirty."
Shen Lu: "It's okay."
Ji Maili was heartbroken. He stood up and pointed at the boys: "Don't bully him!"
Ji Maili returned to the classroom and gave all his books to Chen Lu, since he didn't read them anyway.
He stood beside Shen Lu's table with his hands on his hips, alerting everyone. He asked Shen Lu, "Are you scared?"
Shen Lu thought about it and nodded.
Ji Maili said: "Then I won't leave, I will stay here to protect you!"
Master Ji said he would not leave, and when the bell rang, he insisted on sitting on the same bench with the man who was protecting Shen Lu.
The teacher of Class 8 came in and saw that there was an extra person in the class. He refused to leave even after being chased away, so he had no choice but to call the head teacher of Class 1 to take him away.
When he left, Ji Maili was still threatening others: "If you dare to bully him, I will beat you!"
…
-
Ji Maili rarely skipped classes today. He came to school after morning self-study. As soon as he entered the classroom, he heard people whispering about who was locked in the toilet or something.
Before Ji Maili sat down, Zhou Luyang turned around and looked at him.
Ji Maili pretended not to see it and stuffed his schoolbag into the table. Zhou Luyang twisted his body again, "That..."
Ji Maili frowned, "What?"
Zhou Luyang thought about Shen Lu's instructions and said to Ji Maili, "Zhou Bingcheng was locked in the men's bathroom on the second floor last night and was discovered by the school administrator this morning."
Ji Maili: "You deserve it."
Ji Maili didn't show it on his face, but he was secretly happy in his heart. If he knew who did this act of justice, he would give that person a banner.
"Ji Maili."
At the classroom door, a boy from the student union called him, "The director wants you to go to his office."
Ji Maili didn't ask what he was asked to do. He got up lazily and walked out with his hands in his pockets.
Zhou Luyang felt that something was wrong and immediately informed Shen Lu.
However, Shen Lu did not reply...
The office door was not closed. When Ji Maili walked to the door, he saw Shen Lu standing inside. It was really annoying that he could see this person at first sight no matter where he was.
In addition to Shen Lu, Zhou Bingcheng, Wu Le and Li He were also standing in the office.
When the dean saw the wound on Ji Maili's face, his eyelids twitched at first, and then he said, "Come in and close the door."
Ji Maili wandered in, closed the door and glanced at Chen Lu.
Zhou Bingcheng's face was extremely ugly: "Director, Ji Maili is here, you can ask him."
Ji Maili was impatient and asked, "What do you want to ask?"
When Ji Maili saw Zhou Bingcheng, he remembered what Zhou Luyang said just now: he was locked in the toilet for a whole night. How bad must it smell like for a whole night?
Ji Maili held his breath and secretly took a step towards Chen Lu.
Chen Lu glanced at Ji Maili's small step and knew that he was dissatisfied with Zhou Bingcheng.
Ji Maili took a step forward but still felt that Zhou Bingcheng was too close to him, so he took another step forward and was now next to Chen Lu.
Chen Lu had a bun in his school uniform pocket that he hadn't eaten yet. Ji Maili, who had gotten up late and hadn't had time to eat breakfast, smelled the bun and his stomach growled.
Dean of Studies: "Ji Maili, did you meet those three at the old teaching building yesterday?"
Ji Maili frowned.
Didn't Chen Lu say he wouldn't complain? Where did he learn this bad habit of snitching?!
Seeing that he was silent, the dean thought he was hesitant and said, "Go ahead and speak."
Ji Maili had nothing to say: "Yeah."
Dean: "Did they beat you?"
Ji Maili felt annoyed: "Yeah."
The dean continued to ask, "Did Shen Lu see them beating you?"
Ji Maili glanced at Chen Lu and said, "Yeah."
The dean was furious, "Do you remember what Chen Lu said at that time?"
Ji Maili: "Don't tell the teacher, let them clean up."
After listening to this, the Dean pointed at Zhou Bingcheng and the other three, "What else do you want to say? Huh? Chen Lu saw you hitting someone and tried to cover it up for you, but you're turning around and saying he hit you!"
Ji Maili thought he had misheard and suddenly looked at Zhou Bingcheng and the other three.
Are they filled with black donkey hooves? They're so evil? Shen Lu hits people? His hand can only hold a pen, and it's not certain whether he can make a fist.
Ji Maili: "Idiot."
Zhou Bingcheng heard it and asked, "Who are you calling an idiot?"
Ji Maili was not afraid, "Scold you."
Dean of Studies, "Shut up!"
Zhou Bingcheng pointed at Chen Lu and said, "Director, when Chen Lu locked me in the bathroom yesterday, he said he was helping Ji Maili get revenge!"
What kind of bullshit is this? Ji Maili couldn't stand it any longer. "You must have become stupid after spending the whole night in the bathroom. The whole school knows that Shen Lu and I are at odds, and he's helping me get revenge? It would be more practical to ask your mother to help me get revenge."
Zhou Bingcheng was immediately furious. "Say that again, damn it?"
The Dean slammed his hands on the table. "Zhou Bingcheng, behave yourself! Do you still want to hit someone in front of me?"
Shen Lu spoke in a calm tone amidst the chaos of war, his voice filled with self-blame: "Director, I was wrong. I shouldn't have helped them conceal the assault. They probably thought I was unreliable and wanted to frame me. I've learned my lesson. Next time I encounter something like this, I will definitely report it."
The Dean of Studies said: "It is indeed wrong for you to not report what you knew. Please write a self-criticism and submit it."
Shen Lu said honestly: “I understand, Director.”
Zhou Bingcheng and the other three looked at Shen Lu in shock.
The Dean of Studies glanced at Ji Maili's face, and his sympathy instantly reached its peak. "Look for yourselves, what have you done to the man?"
Ji Maili was about to say that his injuries were not caused by these three idiots, but Shen Lu suddenly said, "He also had injuries on his body. When I saw him, the three of them were pinning him to the ground and beating him."
Ji Maili: “…”
Shut up! Do you think I have no dignity?
"You two go back to class first." The dean pointed at Zhou Bingcheng and the other two, "You three, call your parents!"
When Chen Lu and Ji Maili came out of the office, the class bell had already rung, and they were the only two left in the corridor.
The more Ji Mai thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. He turned around and glared at Chen Lu, "You were the one who was pinned to the ground and beaten by the three of them!"
Shen Lu reached out and poked the bruise on his face, "The most favorable evidence is here."
Ji Maili hissed in pain, "You want to die!"
Shen Lu walked past him and said, "Go back to class. Don't run around until your injury is healed."
Ji Maili chased after him, "Why should I listen to you?"
Shen Lu said, "I was the one who locked Zhou Bingcheng in the bathroom yesterday."
Ji Maili: “…”
Ji Maili looked at him in disbelief.
move?
Impossible, they are not even friends now, there is no point in being moved, Shen Lu is definitely not trying to help him!
Ji Maili scolded: "Are you crazy? What if they cause trouble for you?"
Shen Lu said: "Shouldn't you be happy then? Finally you don't have to trouble me yourself."
Ji Maili was like a cockfighting with its feathers standing on end. "What the hell are you talking about? I'm the only one who can cause you trouble. Who else deserves to be in trouble?"
Shen Lu smiled and said nothing. He took out the uneaten bun from his pocket and said, "Here."
Ji Maili said nothing nice, "I'm not a beggar!"
Shen Lu: "Then do you want it?"
Ji Maili snatched the bun away and said, "Feed it to the dog!"
After Ji Maili finished speaking, he almost slapped himself. Damn, is he going to eat or not?
Ji Maili came downstairs, and Chen Lu asked with a smile, "Is that dog's surname Ji?"
Ji Maili gritted his teeth, "Surname Chen!"
