chapter15

  After the sports meeting, the weather gradually cooled down, and the daytime became shorter. After sweeping the classroom in the evening, the sun had already set low. He Sheng and Chen Jia Yin carried the trash cans to the back of the teaching building to dump the garbage.

  Today the teacher delayed class and school let out late, at this time there are very few students still in school.

  The trash cans were standing at the back of the school, near the corner of the playground. The location was remote and usually few people went there because of its special location. When they passed by, several students with similar trash cans came face to face, looking slightly flustered, and the trash cans were still full.

  Not fallen?

  He Sheng and others stared blankly as people passed by, vaguely hearing the content of their conversation seemed to be someone fighting over there.

  He Sheng lowered his head and looked at his own trash can, saying in a low voice: "We might as well not go to dump it either, let's just wait until tomorrow when the sanitation workers come."

  Chen Jiayin blinked her eyes, with excitement on her face, and pulled at He Sheng's arm as he turned around. "Don't go, take a look."

  "What if someone kills and silences?"

  "How is that possible? We hide in the corner of the wall and take a sneak peek, then leave." Chen Jiayin rubbed her hands together, eager to try, as if she was the one fighting.

  He Sheng was a curious child before coming here, but after arriving, many things were extinguished, and she didn't want to join in the excitement at all.

  But Chen Jiayin had already pulled her unwillingly in that direction and they walked past.

  There is a small house there, specially for storing discarded sports equipment. Next to the house is a garbage pit, where all the trash from the school is thrown, and then every day, special cleaning staff will come to take it away.

  They stuck to the wall and moved forward, and soon they vaguely heard the voices of several people talking. They crouched down at the corner, looked around, and Chen Jiayin covered her mouth, whispering in surprise: "How is it them?"

  He Sheng put his hand on her shoulder and looked at her too. She frowned but didn't say anything.

  A few meters away, Yuan Zhi and He Shou stood side by side, facing a group of students wearing the same school uniform. The pale red sunset sprinkled down on them, casting a warm glow.

  "Your surname is Gu, you're quite tired, every day thinking about blocking me, have you been playing for a few years? Don't you get bored?" Yuan Zhi's mouth corners slightly raised, with a sarcastic tone, his beautiful eyes lightly swept over the several people in front of him, unrestrained and proud.

  The tall boy chuckled and said, "How could the days of using you as a toy to pass the time be boring? Are you kidding me?"

  The tone of not being inferior made He Song suddenly stunned, and then stared at the person with wide eyes. The other party was slightly taller than Yuan Zhi, with a sharp jawline and a hard masculine aura.

  At that time, it was this voice that pressed tightly against her back, He Song had a good sense of hearing and would absolutely not mishear.

  Chen Jiayin didn't notice anything unusual and gazed intently ahead, whispering: "Heh heh heh, I wonder if Yuan Zhi's pretty face will get bruised? Probably still look good even with bruises."

  He Sheng's mind was elsewhere as she responded with a perfunctory "en", her thoughts completely focused on those few boys who looked like young hooligans, and now it seemed that even if she wanted to leave, she wouldn't be able to.

  Yuan Zhi snorted, "Is that so? That depends on whether you have the ability to keep playing."

  He finished speaking and immediately pounced on him with a very fast speed, as agile as a cheetah.

  He and Gu Wei might have been born with incompatible eight characters, and as soon as they entered school, they were compared without reason. They had completely different styles, Gu Wei was more rugged, while Yuan Zhi was more delicate, but both had excellent looks. At that time, neither of them cared, what's the point of comparing anyway?

  It all started when Hua Xin Luo Yu planted a seed of discord by flirting with a girl, and to make matters worse, the girl happened to be Gu Wei's nominal girlfriend. Who wouldn't mind being cuckolded? From then on, the two of them couldn't see eye to eye, constantly bickering and fighting every now and then. Now, neither of them can even remember the name of the girl who sparked the conflict in the first place, but the grudge has only grown deeper.

  Yuan Zhi was very ruthless when he fought, and it's likely that he had practiced martial arts before. With He Shou helping him from behind, the other side didn't gain much advantage, but they had one more person than Yuan Zhi's side, and none of them were weak. After a few rounds, both sides had varying degrees of bruises.

  Chen Jiayin watched the actual combat, still quite excited, but rational enough to prevent them from rushing over and affecting the fish pond when they escaped. She pulled He Song, "Let's go, let's go, we've seen enough, what we need to see... Ah, ah, He Song!" Her tone suddenly turned urgent and flustered.

  He Sheng walked over with the trash can in one hand, several boys were still fighting in a group, no one noticed that there was an uphill road on the side, she quickly walked up and threw the trash can at the tall boy surnamed Gu who had been pushed by Yuan Zhi, covering him from head to toe with a mess of things.

  Several others stopped in their tracks, each stunned, looking at He Sheng and then turning to Gu Wei, who was extremely disheveled and hanging his head, seemingly lost in thought. For a moment, no one could react to what was happening.

  The surroundings suddenly fell silent, the previous shouting seemed to be drowned in water, and the cool breeze blew gently, with the green trees on the side rustling down leaves.

  He Shouci was the first to come back to his senses and pulled at Yuan Zhi, "What should we do?"

  Yuan Zhi didn't expect He Sheng to suddenly appear, and originally the little chicken-like courage would suddenly become so big. He noticed Gu Wei's situation and said, "Protect He Sheng well, don't let her get hurt."

  After finishing speaking, he pulled He Sheng down from the slope where he was standing in a daze and pulled him behind himself, vigilantly watching the few people in front.

  Gu Wei slowly raised his head, ignoring the mess on his body, and gazed at them with a cold expression. He snorted, "Not bad, you've got guts. None of you are leaving today!"

  The words fell heavily, and Yuan Zhi hastily pushed He Sheng back to meet them. In an instant, they were entangled again, this time with much greater force. Their ferocious expressions seemed as if they would fight to the death.

  He Song stepped back and stood aside, coldly staring at the dirty boy, his lips tightly pursed, revealing visible anger.

  She quickly glanced at the ground beside her, not far away was the empty trash can, she rushed over to grab it and prepared to find an opportunity to hit that person again. As soon as she turned around, she saw that person had found a wooden stick from somewhere, holding it high and about to hit Yuan Zhi who was facing his back with no defense at all.

  He Sheng's expression changed suddenly, and without thinking, he rushed forward to block in front of Yuan Zhi. The wooden stick had already come down mercilessly, accompanied by Chen Jiaoyan's distant cry, and landed heavily on He Sheng's back the next second. Even the dull sound of hitting bone could be heard, and the wooden stick instantly broke into two pieces.

  Yuan Zhi stared blankly at the distorted face in front of him due to extreme pain, and called out stiffly: "He Sheng!"
