Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Don’t Leave After School (9)
Jih Cheng.
Bastard child.
Although the Jih family allowed him to enter their ranks, his days within the family were far from easy.
There was a legitimate young master in the Jih family, and as an illegitimate child, he was naturally discriminated against.
Jih Cheng grew up under the contempt and disdain of the Jih family.
In his second year of high school, he had a conflict with the Jih family’s eldest young master and ended up stabbing him.
Actually stabbed him.
But he didn’t die.
Or rather, it was just a minor injury that could easily heal with a bit of care.
The Jih family then threw him into Dingyang Middle School.
Dingyang Middle School was worlds apart from his previous school.
When he first transferred, news of his stabbing soone broke out, but it didn’t cause much of a stir.
Because the Jih family suppressed the news, there was no information to be found online, and the students at school thought it was just a rumor.
Because of his face, Jih Cheng attracted so people’s dissatisfaction and was targeted at school.
The Jih family’s eldest young master had no intention of letting Jih Cheng off the hook either.
They bribed people at the school, determined to ruin Jih Cheng.
And so Jih Cheng began to turn to darkness.
Chuzheng was collecting Jih Cheng’s information while walking back.
“Little junior sister!”
Zhu Zian’s voice ca from a stall nearby.
Chuzheng looked over and saw him and his brothers sitting at a food stall.
“Little junior sister, let treat you to so food,” Zhu Zian said as he ran over.
This one is adept at helping waste my fortune…
Chuzheng was indeed a bit hungry.
Writing that self-criticism was exhausting.
Chuzheng nodded her head but didn’t go for the food stall; instead, she took them out for seafood.
Everyone: “…”
Little junior sister is really wealthy.
“Little junior sister, then we won’t hold back,” they said.
“Hmm, eat more.” Help spend so money; you’re all good people.
“Little junior sister, how co I didn’t et you earlier?” Fatty wailed.
“What would you have done if you t our little junior sister earlier?” soone laughed and chid in.
“I would have been the protector of flowers for little junior sister, and all she would have had to do is treat to als,” Fatty said, his eyes squinting happily.
“That’s all you aspire to?” Zhu Zian slapped Fatty on the head, full of contempt.
“Speaking of which, I heard before that Yu Yue…” Fatty glanced at Chuzheng, who was quietly peeling shrimp, and boldly ventured, “Yu Yue used to bully our little junior sister?”
Little junior sister doesn’t seem like soone who could be bullied!
“You just had to bring up the topic we’re avoiding, and even all this food can’t shut your mouth,” Zhu Zian slapped Fatty vigorously as if he were slapping a ball.
Fatty groaned and whined, admitting his mistake.
He was just curious, after all.
In fact, everyone else was curious too.
At the ti, this young girl had appeared on the basketball court looking as if she had just been bullied.
But her expression was too cold…
It was even more terrifying than soone showing anger.
Later, they had inquired about it.
Yu Yue had bullied her more than once or twice.
But these past few days, Yu Yue had been at a disadvantage.
Even their classmates were saying that she had changed.
At the ti, that’s how Zhu Zian and his crew got to know Chuzheng; the shock wasn’t that great, just curiosity.
“That’s in the past,” Chuzheng said, wiping her hands with a wet towel and speaking with calm composure.
“Hahaha, yeah, from now on we’ve got your back, little junior sister,” Fatty imdiately responded.
“Yu Yue definitely won’t let things go,” Zhu Zian told Chuzheng, “She knows people on the outside, and you’ve offended her so much, she’s bound to take revenge on you sooner or later.”
“Hmm, I’ll wait for her.” As if I’m scared of her!
“Man, little junior sister is so domineering.”
“Yu Yue knows people from outside the school, little junior sister, are you sure that’s not a problem?”
“It’s not.” Chuzheng affird with certainty.
What’s Yu Yue in comparison?
Even if she’s attractive, I won’t be seduced by her beauty!
Definitely not!
Zhu Zian exchanged glances with his brothers, always finding the straight-faced and aloof younger schoolgirl a bit cute.
After dinner, Zhu Zian wanted to walk Chuzheng ho.
Chuzheng declined the kindness of a group of wobbly, drunken seniors.
Watching them get into a car and leave, she also prepared to go ho.
Turning her head, she saw Jih Cheng and a woman standing not far away.
Jih Cheng had his head down, looking sowhat impatient.
The woman reached out to touch Jih Cheng’s head but was pushed away; he turned and started walking towards Chuzheng.
Having only walked a few steps, Jih Cheng also noticed Chuzheng.
“Bad luck,”
he cursed under his breath, turning to cross the street directly.
They weren’t far apart, and Chuzheng heard everything clearly.
Who is the Good Person Card cursing?
“Chengcheng,”
the woman chased after him and caught him on the road.
Jih Cheng irritably shook her off, but the woman relentlessly pulled him.
In the midst of their struggle, the woman used too much force; as Jih Cheng shook her off, he stumbled several steps backward himself.
The car’s headlights shone on Jih Cheng; he had ti to dodge, but in that instant, he didn’t move, just looking at the approaching car.
“BEEP—”
The car blared its horn as it sped past, with the driver’s curses carried in the wind.
“Insane!”
At that mont, Jih Cheng laid on the ground, held in soone’s embrace.
His hearing was montarily lost; he couldn’t hear anything.
Warm and soft, a body with a young girl’s fragrance was pressed tightly against him.
The noise of the crowd flooded in instantly.
“Chengcheng, Chengcheng, are you okay?” The woman ran over, reaching out to help him up.
Jih Cheng’s gaze, however, was on the girl holding him.
She was looking down, her gaze directed towards her knees.
After a mont, she looked up, “How much longer do you plan to lie on top of ?”
Can I ditch the Good Person Card?
Right now, this instant!
Jih Cheng got up with the help of the woman but pushed her away and silently helped Chuzheng stand up.
“Are you okay?”
Chuzheng kept her face cold: “I’m fine.”
This is serious!
“Chengcheng…”
Jih Cheng turned back irritably, “I don’t want to see you now; if you don’t want to say sothing too harsh, leave.”
“Chengcheng, just go back and apologize…”
“Get lost!”
The woman, probably frightened by the grim expression on Jih Cheng’s face, left looking back every three steps.
Jih Cheng reined in his emotions, “Why did you rush up?”
“You can’t die.”
“My death, what’s it to you?” Jih Cheng retorted irritably.
At this point, Jih Cheng was full of discomfort and prickliness.
“I say you can’t die, what’s it to you?” Chuzheng snapped back rudely.
Jih Cheng fell silent, “Classmate, my life, what do you think?”
Chuzheng said, “I saved your life; you don’t have the right to die on a whim.”
Jih Cheng: “…Crazy!”
Jih Cheng couldn’t be bothered to continue the conversation with Chuzheng, giving her a glance with a slight frown.
“Are you really okay?”
“I’m fine.”
Jih Cheng’s gaze fell on her leg; he pulled her arm, crouched down, and hoisted her onto his back.
He lifted Chuzheng onto his back.
Chuzheng’s head rested against his neck, and a faint sll of cigarettes emanated from him.
It wasn’t an unpleasant sll of smoke; rather, it was sowhat aromatic.
The young man’s side profile was sowhat stern.
Jih Cheng, carrying her, had walked a few ters when he realized he didn’t know where Chuzheng lived and had to ask, “Where do you live?”
Chuzheng, expressionless, wriggled free and stood on the ground: “I’m alright.” It wasn’t to the extent that she needed soone to carry her!
Jih Cheng’s entire face was shrouded in shadows, and after a long pause, he said, “Where do you live, I’ll walk you.”
