C7 It Is the End of the Day to Bear the Shame
"If you have something to say, quickly say it. After that, go back to your dorm, don't disturb me while I drink."
Hong Sis was as cold as an iceberg goddess. She gently exhaled a stream of cigarette smoke from her cherry lips and glanced at me.
"Sister Hong, I want to work for you every night until 2 in the morning. I won't be coming back to live at school anymore. I feel safe working here."
I looked at elder sister Hong with excitement. I really looked forward to see her slightly nod her head.
"No, you're still a student. The store won't be safe for the rest of the night. Go back to your school and go back to your dorm."
Elder sister Hong bluntly rejected me, and her expression revealed an irrefutable aura.
I didn't dare say no to her because I respected her.
Walking out of the music bar, I slowly walked towards school. I wasn't really happy, I just wanted to repay the Red Sister, even though this kind of repayment seemed so unnecessary to her.
"Zhang Yuan, why haven't you returned to your dorm yet?"
Just as I walked to the school gate, I met Ye Xiaosu. She gently said a few words to me.
At the sound of her voice, I jerked my head up and saw a face covered in tears.
"Xiaosu, who bullied you?" I looked at her worriedly.
"It's your class's Wang Xinmei and your class's Lin Shuang. They threw my bed into the bathroom and even shot a video of that yellow-haired guy living in my room. I want to rent a room outside the school."
Ye Xiaosu looked at me with a wronged expression.
"It's Wang Xinmei and Lin Shuang again, I won't let them go. Xiao Su, don't be afraid, we are friends, I won't let you get hurt again."
I really wanted to hug her in my arms and give her a broad chest to complain about, but I couldn't cross the line. She was my only friend, even though I liked her a little.
"Zhang Yuan, I'm fine, don't fight for me anymore, I'm afraid I will implicate you. Oh right, what did you just do?"
Ye Xiaosu wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said to me.
She said so, and I hastened to comfort her by saying that friends don't talk about trouble, and by telling her about the trip to the bar.
Ye Xiaosu could tell that I didn't want to stay in the dorm either, so her eyes lit up.
Ye Xiaosu's bold suggestion made my heart tremble, but after a moment of thought, I immediately agreed. If she, a girl, was able to rent a house by herself, then it would definitely not be safe, and if I could accompany her, it would be different. Furthermore, she was a good student, so I could study with her everyday.
Renting the house with Ye Xiaosu was a good thing for both of us.
She was very happy. Along the way, she told me a lot of things about her studies. I also listened to her. Seeing her so happy, I always felt warm in my heart, as if the sun was shining in my heart.
Opposite the Erzhong was a row of shops, and behind the shop was a large area.
The closer we got to the school, the more expensive the rent became, so the two of us walked along the alley along the flagstones until we came to many bungalows and stopped to ask questions.
The pocket money that Feng Qingqing gave me had long been squandered by Wang Xinmei, that Little Splash. I could only earn money by relying on my own hands, but earning money was easier said than done.
Fortunately, Ye Xiaosu had 500 yuan, so we paid 200 yuan for a flat with a dark side. There was no bed in the room, only a double fire brick bed and a stove.
The environment was much worse than in my house, much like living in a poor kiln, and the landlord, a mean old woman, took the rent, threw us two keys and left. There were six rooms in one small yard, and the other five were all empty.
Ye Xiaosu said that although her bed had been thrown into the bathroom, it would still work if she was brought back and put on a different bed cover.
I nodded my head in silence, took some water from the tap, and began to clean the glass.
I don't know how to express my feelings at the time. Why did God treat us poor people like this? Why did he force us into a corner?
Maybe it was because we shared the same fate that Ye Xiaosu and I had so much to say to each other. Together, we swept the house spotlessly, washing all the old furniture and dishes in the house until they shone with light.
Ye Xiaosu told me to delay class a little in the afternoon and to move everything over. She said that we must not let anyone know that we lived together, even if she was scolded by her teacher.
I understood her meaning and agreed without hesitation.
I moved my things quickly and greeted the teachers in the dorm, saying that I was going to stay at my relatives' house. After being bullied to the point that I couldn't stay in the dorm, I carried Wu Xiaofeng's feather bed onto my back and headed to the place to stay.
There was a secret compartment under my wooden box, nailed up by me, with only one function, and that was to hide the book the old man had given me.
Ye Xiaosu didn't want me to move with her to school, so I could only pick her up from the alley.
It took her three runs to get everything together.
After putting our things into the house, we locked the door and happily went to school, preparing to pack up after returning home in the evening.
But when we entered the school, we weren't together. I watched Ye Xiaosu enter the school, and only then did I slowly walk into the school gate.
By the time I reached the class, the second section was almost ready.
"Who did this?"
Seeing the books on my desk being filled with footprints of dustbin s, I shouted furiously.
The originally noisy class instantly quieted down. Only Wang Xinmei, the Little Splash, was laughing so hard that he almost jumped up. In her eyes, I was just like a clown.
"Brother Yuan, luckily you came back late, otherwise you would have been beaten up. The third year brought people to beat you up, if you weren't here, they would have taken revenge on your book."
The thin man leaned over and whispered to me.
Skinny Man and I sat quite close to each other. Although he didn't help me before, every time he told me the whole story, I would still thank him quite a bit.
"This is simply going too far. Hurry up and tell me who the third year's boss is, and what class he's in." I looked at the thin man.
The skinny guy ignored the whispers of the people in the class and told me in a low voice that the 3rd Elder was shouting for Wei Shenzhi. He was in Class 3 and 4, and in Erzhong, only Lin Shuang was able to suppress him.
"I say, Zhang Yuan, you're really cute, Wei Shenzhi, you can't afford to offend me, there's no use in asking around." Wang Xinmei laughed in disdain.
"You don't need to care, just wait and see!"
I glared at Wang Xinmei, and bent down to pick up the books from the dustbin. After I packed them up for a while, the bell for class had already rang.
This class is my favorite history class, the teacher is talking about Chen Sheng Wu Guang uprising, one of the most touching words of me is, "Wang Hou will make a living"?
Yes, I am weak now and born poor. However, I do not believe in fate. I will definitely become strong for all of you to see. I want revenge.
After the second period, it was an activity class. The students were free to play on campus for an hour, so everyone liked the feeling of the second afternoon class ending.
After class, I was afraid that the Little Splash would leave first. When the teacher had just left, I stood in front of Wang Xinmei's desk.
"Give me a dollar!" I stared at her.
"Zhang Yuan, you didn't get enough beating today, did you?" Wang Xinmei looked at me with some anger.
"Just tell me if you want it or not. "I don't recommend fighting with you again. This time, I will tear your clothes apart." I said to Wang Xinmei with a smile.
In fact, Wang Xinmei was really pretty, with features that were similar to Feng Qingqing's. She looked like a fox spirit, had a good body, and her chest was well-developed.
"Just you wait for me, you pauper. Even if you're dead, you can still act like one. I'll reward you for that." Wang Xinmei scolded me, took out ten dollars and threw it on the ground, then left the classroom.
Wang Xinmei was very angry, but she did not dare fight me, as the little bit of kung fu she learnt was coincidentally unable to beat me.
Seeing how generous she was, I lazily bickered with her. Picking up the money, I headed straight to the small shop downstairs. After spending a dollar to buy a paper knife, I stuffed it in my pocket and headed to the third level teaching building.
The third year, right? You are awesome, but I do not believe this evil spirit, if you bully me, Zhang Yuan, you will have to pay the price.
The reason why I didn't go find Lin Shuang to seek revenge, is that I can't beat her, and secondly, she is a girl after all, and even the school beauty of Erzhong.
When we reached class three and four, I stood at the door of their class and shouted, "Wei Shenzhi, get out here right now!"
"Who the fuck are you? "You dare to yell at your father?"
A 1.7m tall boy with dyed dark red hair immediately stood up and rushed out of the classroom. Soon after, six students of Class 4 carried their stools and followed him out.
Gritting my teeth, I used my hand to feel the paper knife in my pocket and stared at Wei Shenzhi: "I'm Zhang Yuan from Class 7, you kicked over my desk and threw the book into the dustbin s?"
"F * ck, so you were using a brick to smash that kid with yellow hair. I, Tama, was just looking for you, and instead you came on your own. F * ck him!"
Wei Shenzhi knew it was me, so he led his six lackeys to surround me and beat me up.
At first I was able to fight with them, but fighting was the most strenuous thing, and everyone who had fought knew that it wasn't long before I was knocked down and kicked around.
I was exhausted, and the seven of them were gasping for breath. I curled up on the ground and put my head in my hands, allowing them to kick me and step on me.
To them, the fight might be over, but to me, the good show had only just begun. I was enduring the pain while recovering my strength, and the paper knife was still in my pocket.
"Idiot. Calling out to your father. I won't kill you." Wei Shenzhi stomped his foot on my leg hard and spat on my body.
"Brother Zhi, this kind of idiot deserves a beating. After beating him up, he'll feel comfortable."
"That's right. He's only in his second year of high school, yet he dares to provoke our third year of high school. He's simply overestimating himself."
"…"
I heard that Wei Shenzhi's subordinates and a lot of people on the scene were continuously flattering Wei Shenzhi, but I didn't move, and only waited for the best opportunity.
"Ah Hou, pass the photo to yellow-hair. We've already given him face." Wei Shenzhi looked at me with contempt, then turned and spoke to his subordinate.
I know that the time has come. Although my methods are despicable, I have no other choice. I am not willing to be bullied like a dog and be humiliated like a piece of trash.
