Chapter 7: 7

 

Beat You Up

 

On the streets, in the evening, the wind blew the treetops, and the leaves swayed gently.

 

Ning Zhen looked down at her sneakers and whispered, "I didn't mean to. Who told you to act like a rouge?"

 

After living two lives, she was still as innocent as a child.

 

She has no idea how true rogues acted, but it definitely wasn't simply in this manner.

 

"You have a big temper. So fierce. Believe it or not, I'll beat you up?" He couldn't help but laugh after he finished speaking.

 

He grabbed the strap of her schoolbag and walked away, but he didn't touch her this time.

 

He sauntered like a cat, his pace leisurely.

 

Ning Zhen was dragged away by him. She knew that this person was unreasonable.

 

The two stopped at a small pharmacy, and Lu Zhi pointed at the counter. "Buy medicine."

 

The boss, a middle-aged uncle in his fifties, was startled by the injury on his forehead. "Oho? What happened to your head? It looks serious."

He spoke in his native dialect.

 

Lu Zhi was a little impatient. "I just want to buy medicine."

 

"Come, I'll wrap it up for you. It could become infected if left like this."

 

The boss took out alcohol and bandages from the counter and asked Lu Zhi to go to the chair next to him and sit down.

 

Lu Zhi didn't move. His face was ugly. He just wanted to buy medicine, not to listen to his chatter.

 

"Little girl, what are you doing standing there? Tell your boyfriend to sit down."

 

"He's not my boyfriend." Ning Zhen waved her hand hurriedly.

 

Lu Zhi glanced at her with a half-smile.

 

He sat down slowly, pulling the strap of her schoolbag in his hand.

 

Alcohol sterilization. Looking at it hurt.

 

Ning Zhen looked away.

 

Lu Zhi didn't care. He was used to it.

 

When the two walked out of the pharmacy, Lu Zhi's injury had already been treated. He thought a bandage was ugly, so he only put a band-aid on it.

 

Looking at his graceful strut, he must feel quite good about himself.

 

With Ming Zhen's mentality from three years later, she felt that he was a bit chuuni ¹.

 

She wanted to laugh a little but didn't dare. She could only hold back her laughter.

 

The two walked in tandem. Under the warm sunlight, their shadows seemed a little gentle.

 

"You want to learn to dance?"

 

He suddenly turned his head and looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

 

Ning Zhen's face turned pale.

 

The flyer had been quietly tucked into her belt, so she thought he hadn't seen it.

 

"It's the third year of high school, little classmate. Do you know how important it is to study?" 

 

If Chen Dongshu was here, he would definitely laugh. Was this something Lu Zhi could say? He slacked off so extraordinarily that he didn't even understand what a function was and was seriously educating others.

 

Ning Zhen stopped. "That's my business."

 

The smile on his face faded.

 

He pursed his lips coldly and stopped talking.

 

Yes, they didn't know each other well.

 

The cicadas on the trees kept chirping, and the air was stifling.

 

He cursed angrily.

 

He turned around fiercely, and his eyes were cold. "Why are you following me?"

 

Ning Zhen was dumbfounded.

 

He didn't allow her to escape, so she couldn't run away from him. Now he was angry at her for following behind him.

 

He was still bad-tempered and unreasonable.

 

Anyway, forget it...

 

It wasn't like she should beat him up, anyway. She could just ignore him.

 

She had a good temper and didn't bother with him.

 

Ning Zhen turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

 

Cars drove through the road, throwing up a lot of dust.

 

Her throat became itchy, and she couldn't help coughing twice.

 

Lu Zhi was watching behind her, irritated.

 

Forget it. Why argue with a little blockhead?

 

He had just taken a single step.

 

Ning Zhen stopped a taxi, and her delicate body got into the car.

 

The car started and soon disappeared from his sight.

 

With a cold face, Lu Zhi turned around and kicked a tree.

 

The group of seniors who were absent from class on Friday finally came to class.

 

All the students in Class 7 welcomed them with a salute.

 

All of them bore injuries. At a glance, there was a story behind it.

 

Lu Zhi had deliberately entered through the front door of the classroom.

 

Ning Zhen was lecturing Xia Xiaoshi. She spoke English with a standard pronunciation and soft voice.

 

Lu Zhi couldn't understand it, so he paused.

 

Ning Zhen spoke seriously and didn't even notice him.

 

"Um... Look, this should be a past perfect tense. There is a hint... here."

 

She drew a line on the paper and pressed her finger on the paper. Her skin was fair. Even l her cyan-colored veins could be seen.

 

So cute... tsk.

 

Chen Dongshu sat in the back row and played games. He and Lin Zichuan were in a double row. They both had poor skills, and the other party was too fierce. They had already lost three games. He cursed.

 

He wanted to call on Lu Zhi to help him destroy these two bastards.

 

When he looked up, he found Lu Zhichu on the first row aisle.

 

He was watching... two female students discussing questions.

 

"Fuck! Hahahahahahahahahaha !!!"

 

He laughed like a crazy person, and everyone heard him.

 

The students of Class 7 turned around one after another.

 

Lin Zichuan took off his earphones and slapped him on the back. "Damn! You idiot."

 

Lu Zhi quickly went over and looked at him coldly.

 

Chen Dongshu immediately shut up. Fuck! What a murderous aura!

 

This time, he suddenly understood and became more tactful.

"Brother Zhi doesn't want to play games?"

 

Lu Zhi was fine, so he just sat down, and the three played together.

 

He had long fingers, fast operations, and an agile mind.

But Chen Dongshu was a dummy. He was too much of a burden even be carried...

 

The three of them lost again.

 

Boys of this age didn't admit defeat.

 

Another round.

 

Lu Zhi didn't know where the anger came from. He changed his equipment and chased after one of them. He hacked him to death and waited for him to revive.

 

It's pretty scary for three renminbi players² to act like hoodlums.

 

It didn't take long for the other party to curse them.

 

The other party opened the voice chat.

 

"Fuck you, did I dig up your ancestral grave? You bastards have a lot of energy today, don't you?"

 

 The class bell rang.

 

The trio of renminbi players kept quiet and silently engaged the other party a few times.

 

The other party was so angry they went offline.

 

Lu Zhi took off his earphones. It was dull and boring.

 

On the podium, the physics teacher was talking about electromagnetic induction. In the eyes of this group of scumbags, he was running his mouth off and speaking bird language.

 

The students in the first few rows were all full of energy, waiting to be fed.

 

Lu Zhi swept a glance at them, and the fingers sliding on the phone screen paused.

 

Turning back to Chen Dongshu, he asked, "Do I look fierce?"

 

Chen Dongshu was confused. Was Brother Zhi having a seizure? In a bootlicking manner, he stretched out his thumb and said, "Not fierce, not fierce. Brother Zhi is handsome!"

 

Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows. "Handsome your mother! Be serious."

 

Chen Dongshu said, "Well, you look a bit fierce."

 

A book hit him on the head.

 

Fuck...he knew he couldn't tell the truth.

 

The physics teacher had glanced at the two of them several times. He finally couldn't bear it and hit the desk. "Lu Zhi and Chen Dongshu, what are you two talking about in class? Have you no speck of discipline? Stand up and answer this question. If you get it right, you can sit down. "

 

Lin Zichuan laughed gloatingly.

 

Lu Zhi and Chen Dongshu stood up. Chen Dongshu smiled and said, "Teacher Zhang, I don't know."

 

Neither of them even knew what the question was.

 

Everyone in the class looked back, and at a glance, they could see Lu Zhi in the second-to-last row by the window.

 

The fragments of sunlight fell on his body. It was as if a layer of light had passed through.

 

They all turned back. It would be weird if she didn't look back. She hesitated for a few seconds, then turned her head.

 

She just happened to meet Lu Zhi's eyes.

 

He put his tongue against his cheek and smiled carelessly. "Neither do I."

 

"Then stand and listen!" the physics teacher scolded. After scolding them, he no longer cared and turned around to write on the blackboard. While he was writing with chalk, Ning Zhen lowered her eyes and carefully took notes.

 

There was a creak, the sound of chairs dragging on the floor. Then the back door was opened. Lu Zhi and Chen Dongshu swaggered out.

 

The physics teacher's face turned blue.

 

The electric fan blew the bangs on her forehead, but Ning Zhen didn't look back. She used a pen to calculate the example problems in her book.

 

The teaching system of the Third High School was notoriously lax. There were weekends in the first and second year of high school and only Sundays in the third year.

 

So on Friday, everyone's mood is particularly relaxed and happy.

 

The last class was Song Baoyun's.

 

She said solemnly, "The monthly exam is going to be held next Thursday. They are all people who are in their third year of high school. Time flies by quickly. If you don't hurry up, the college entrance examination will be over in a blink of an eye. This time, go back for vacation and use the weekend to study hard and strive for a good score in your exam grades."

 

Almost all teachers had said these words. The students had almost to memorized them.

 

In fact, Song Baoyun didn't want to be long-winded, but this Class 7 of the second year in high school was the most troublesome class she had ever taught.

 

The first place in the class was eighth in the grade, which was a shame for any teacher.

 

Moreover, this could be blamed on her bad luck. The richest second generation in the grade were all concentrated in Class 7.

 

These levers pulled down the average score, so the seventh class was always ranked very low.

 

When the bell rang for the end of class, the students walked out with smiles like birds released from their cages.

 

Tong Jia skipped over. "Zhen Zhen, I won't go with you today, our class' Ji Fei is celebrating her birthday. Many people are going to celebrate with her so please take care of your own safety."

 

Ning Zhen nodded. " Then you go home early, don't let uncle and aunt worry."

 

"I know la."

 

Tong Jia had a lively personality and was very popular. She had a good relationship with most of the class.

 

Ning Zhen packed up her textbooks and notes, and went home alone with her schoolbag on her back.

 

Ji Fei's birthday party was held in the private room of a famous restaurant.

 

She dressed up carefully today. Her hair was permed into one-off curls, and she put makeup on her face. Her delicate face, paired with light makeup, made her look very innocent.

 

Ji Fei, who was wearing a white dress, looked out absentmindedly.

 

The girl who went with her knew what she was thinking and comforted her, "He will definitely come. Don't worry."

 

Ji Fei nodded.

 

After a while, Chen Dongshu opened the door. He saw that most of them were girls from Class 2, and only a few boys were present, so he whistled, "Good evening, sisters!"

 

Ji Fei's eyes lit up, and she looked behind him. Lu Zhi raised the corners of his mouth, looked around, and also said hello.

 

The crowd quieted down. Many eyes fell on Lu Zhi.

 

His temperament was haughty and flamboyant. This kind of gangster-like handsome boy was inexplicably very eye-catching.

 

Lin Zichuan handed a gift to Ji Fei. "Happy birthday."

 

Ji Fei took it and thanked him with a smile.

 

She glanced at Lu Zhi from the corner of her eye. He had already sat down with a cigarette in his hand. When people around him talked to him, he responded lazily from time to time.

 

Her heartbeat was fast.

 

At present, Lu Zhi... was single.
