Bai An listened to the teacher and nodded. Before she could do anything, she saw Lu Jinan squatting in front of her.
"Come up." Lu Jinan said softly to Bai An, "I'll take you home."
Bai An looked at the not-so-broad shoulders in front of him, leaned over, and smelled the unique fragrance of papaya, feeling at ease.
When Wanqing was sorting clothes, she would put a papaya in the closet. Over time, the clothes were stained with this smell.
Whenever Bai An smells this scent, he feels like he's at home.
Lu Jinan carried Bai An on his back, supporting her gently as if she were a treasure.
Before leaving, Lu Jinan turned his head to look at Goudan who was still sitting on the ground. Most of his face was covered by the shadow of the tree. His eyes were slightly narrowed, and a chilling ruthlessness flashed quickly through his eyes.
Goudan saw the threat in his eyes and grabbed the teacher's trouser legs in fear and shouted, "Teacher, what should I do? He wants to beat me to death."
"You deserve to be beaten to death." Da Zhuang went up and kicked him, "Who told you to hit Bai An? Bai An is such a good person, and you still hit her."
The teacher frowned, and seeing that Da Zhuang wanted to kick him again, he stopped him without any sincerity, saying, "Stop hitting him, go to work."
...
...
Da Zhuang looked at Goudan lying on the ground unwillingly, and while the teacher wasn't paying attention, he raised his foot and kicked him.
"Ouch." Goudan covered his arm and complained to the teacher, "Da Zhuang kicked me."
By the time the teacher wanted to say a few more words to Da Zhuang, Da Zhuang had already run away.
Goudan was keenly aware that someone was approaching him. He glanced at the shadow at his feet and suddenly raised his head. He saw Lin Zhixia looking down at him.
"What are you doing?" Goudan looked at his smile and felt uneasy, and couldn't help asking.
Lin Zhixia smiled at Goudan in a friendly manner, stretched out her hand and said kindly, "Are you okay? Can you get up?"
Goudan looked at Lin Zhixia who was showing kindness to him in front of him, confused. Even though he was smiling at him, Goudan could not see a trace of smile in his eyes. It looked weird no matter how he looked at it.
Goudan ignored his hand, got up from the ground, patted his butt, looked at Lin Zhixia strangely and said, "It's okay."
Lin Zhixia didn't seem to care about Goudan's impolite behavior. She just smiled at him and asked, "You were scared today. Can you go home by yourself? Do you want your parents to pick you up?"
"Why ask my parents to pick me up? I'm fine."
"Oh." Lin Zhixia looked at him and smiled, this smile was even more weird. He said softly: "You should go home by yourself today."
Goudan didn't know what he was going to do, so he nodded.
The teacher standing behind saw that Goudan had not started working yet, and urged him to start working quickly.
Goudan glanced at Lin Zhixia beside him and thought angrily in his heart, why was she only urging him?
Bai An, who was lying on Lu Jinan's back, swayed so much that she felt sleepy.
But the sight of her head covered in blood made Lu Jinan feel uneasy. He was afraid that Bai An would never wake up.
No matter how Bai An explained to him, she was simply sleepy and wanted to take a nap, but Lu Jinan still didn't believe it and kept asking Bai An not to fall asleep.
"What's going on?" Wanqing was shocked when she saw Bai An's appearance. "Didn't he go to school? Why did he look like this?"
The wound on Bai An's forehead became more and more terrifying. Wanqing couldn't help but redden her eyes and urged Lu Jinan to get a basin of clean water.
"Tell me who made you like this. I will fight them to the death." Wanqing untied the crooked braid on Bai An's head with a distressed look. She was fine when she left this morning, how come she became like this when she came back? "Don't be afraid, Bai An. I'm here."
Bai An has always been the treasure of their family, and none of them can bear to hit her. Who on earth could be so cruel as to do this to Bai An?
As the braid came loose, some broken dirt fell to the ground.
Wanqing looked at the dirt on the ground and the dust on Bai An's face. Couldn't she imagine how Bai An had been bullied?
At this time, Lu Jinan also came in with water. He saw his mother's red eyes and trembling lips at a glance. Following her gaze, he saw some dirt scattered on the ground that shouldn't be there.
Looking at Bai An's scattered hair, Lu Jinan also knew something.
"Mom, help Bai An wipe it."
Wanqing soaked the towel in water, wrung it out, and gently wiped Bai An's face with the towel.
There were several scratches on Bai An's face, the most serious of which was the one on his forehead, which was swollen and bloodstained, looking extremely scary.
Wanqing closed her eyes, unable to bring herself to do it. She handed the towel in her hand to Lu Jinan and said, "I'm afraid of hurting Bai An, so you do it."
Hearing the trembling in his mother's voice, Lu Jinan silently took the towel from her hand, soaked it in water and washed it again.
Looking at the wound on Bai An's forehead, his eyes were deep, and he whispered to Bai An: "Scream out if it hurts."
Bai An looked up at Lu Jinan and said, "It doesn't hurt."
Lu Jinan paused while wiping the wound, lowered his head, looked into Bai An's eyes and said word by word: "You don't have to be so obedient."
Wanqing wiped her tears with a handkerchief and nodded in agreement, "Bai An, your brother is right. Let's go and avenge whoever beat you."
Hearing his mother say this, Bai An raised his head excitedly. It happened that Lu Jinan was touching Bai An's most serious wound. When Bai An moved, Lu Jinan accidentally pressed on the wound.
Bai An cried out in pain, and Lu Jinan quickly took his hand away.
Seeing Bai An's painful expression, Lu Jinan said coldly: "Why are you so naughty? Be careful."
Bai An looked at him aggrievedly, "Didn't you tell me not to be so obedient?"
Lu Jinan: “…”
Lu Jinan continued to wipe Bai An's wounds, while Bai An recounted his heroic and indomitable experience with relish.
"Mom, I'm telling you, they pushed me to the ground first. I got up the first time, but the second time that bastard pushed me to the ground again."
"I definitely couldn't stand that, so I grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it at them. That Gou Dan tried to kick me, but I dodged and kicked him in the process."
Bai An became more and more excited as he spoke, and continued, "He wanted to fight back, but I was smart. I picked up the stick on the ground and kept hitting him."
"But I didn't expect him to throw a rock at my head."
Bai An pointed to the wound on his head and showed it to his mother, saying with a look of grievance, "It hurts all the time."
Wanqing looked at Bai An and blew air on his wound distressedly, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt."
Feeling the mother's love, Bai An continued, "But I hit him back and I hit him on the head with a stick."
"Well done." Lu Jinan on the side said.
Encouraged, Bai An excitedly said to Lu Jinan, "Right, in this situation, we must not be cowardly and let others look down on us. If they hadn't outnumbered us from behind, I would have won long ago."
"Using the majority to bully the minority?" Lu Jinan frowned and asked, "How did they use the majority to bully the minority?"
