Chapter 14: A lesson?
He Shu's tacit approval made Xia Miao bolder.
She smiled and put the meat and eggs from the plate into He Shu's plate.
After finishing the meal, He Shu stood up and said, "Let's not eat together in the future. It will have a bad influence."
The joy on Xia Miao's little face disappeared in an instant. She stared blankly at He Shu washing the plates and did not look back until she left the cafeteria.
He Shu didn't care whether Xia Miao was sad or not. He now wanted to save money to buy a grave for his mother and study hard to get into a good university in the future.
He really doesn't have time to learn from others and engage in premature love.
Those are people who have a worry-free life. Only those who have parents to take care of them will have so many extra worries.
How can someone who has to work hard even to survive have the qualifications?
After Xia Miao left the cafeteria, she ran back to the dormitory and cried until the afternoon class, with red eyes.
But no matter who it is, even if it is her best friends who ask her, she refuses to say what's wrong.
But some people have already guessed that it was He Shu, because everyone had been saying that they were a couple and had lunch together every day.
Xia Miao started crying after lunch.
When He Shu returned to the dormitory in the evening and was about to take a change of clothes to take a shower, Lai Huaguang rushed in from outside with a fierce look.
He grabbed He Shu by the collar and glared at him fiercely: "Did you bully Xia Miao?"
Li Lisen hurriedly jumped down from the upper bunk: "Lai Huaguang, what are you doing?"
"I'm asking you, did you bully Xia Miao?" Lai Huaguang waved his fist, as if he was going to punch He Shu if he admitted it .
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Although Lai Huaguang was much stronger than him, He Shu was not afraid.
"you!"
Li Lisen grabbed Lai Huaguang's fist and said, "If you make trouble again, I will tell the dormitory supervisor. If you want to be punished, fight here!"
Lai Huaguang glared at Li Lisen fiercely, but high school was not junior high school, so it was possible that he would be expelled directly.
He pointed at He Shu and said harshly: "Just wait for me."
He Shu didn't care. He had been threatened by Lai Huaguang many times when he was in junior high school.
Instead, Li Lisen followed He Shu when he went to the bathroom to wash up and said, "He Shu, he doesn't dare to cause trouble in school. Be careful or he will cause trouble for you after leaving school."
"Well, thank you."
Li Lisen laughed and said, "Oh, what's there to thank him for? That guy has a mental problem."
Then, Li Lisen was a little curious: "You and Xia Miao from Class 3, have you really broken up?"
"No."
Li Lisen was immediately enraged by gossip, but then he heard He Shu say, "Premature love is also against school rules. Xia Miao and I have never been together, so how can there be any talk of breaking up?"
"Forehead…"
Li Lisen scratched his head. Never been together? He didn't quite believe it. Anyone could see that Xia Miao liked He Shu.
In the next few days, as summer vacation was approaching, the courses were very tight and there were exams and tests from time to time.
Lai Huaguang did not bother He Shu again, and did not say , but every time he saw He Shu, he looked at him with a vicious look.
He Shu felt that Lai Huaguang was like a spoiled child. They were all in high school, but Lai Huaguang still hadn't grown up.
Since that day, Xia Miao wanted to go over to He Shu every time she saw him in the cafeteria. But when she saw He Shu's expressionless face, she was afraid that if she went over, He Shu would get angry and ignore her in the future.
But Xia Miao didn't understand why He Shu suddenly didn't eat with her, and could only blame herself for picking food for He Shu that day.
Everyone said He Shu had a weird personality, but Xia Miao thought he was a good person, so when she was sad, she would only look for the reason in herself...
Friday came in a blink of an eye. After school in the afternoon, He Shu saw Xia Miao walk out of the school gate before turning the corner of the playground.
Li Lisen chased after He Shu on a bicycle and asked him where he lived, wanting to give him a ride, but He Shu refused.
He followed the crowd out of the school gate and crossed the street full of parked cars, but what he was thinking was how much money he could make if he could wash all these cars?
Now He Shu feels that the job he found as a car washer is really good.
Use your brain at school from Monday to Friday, and use Saturday and Sunday to exercise your physical strength while making money. There is no more reasonable arrangement than this.
When passing by a supermarket, He Shu went in for a look and spent a huge sum of 32 yuan to buy a pair of long rain boots and a pair of thick rubber gloves.
Stuff it in your luggage bag and save it for washing the car tomorrow.
He Shu left the supermarket carrying his things, and Lai Huaguang came out from the opposite side with two young men.
These two young men don't look like students. Instead, they look like people from society, with a ruffian's appearance. They are around 18, 19 or 20 years old.
"Brother, that's him."
Lai Huaguang saw He Shu coming out and pointed at him. The two young men next to him took a closer look and laughed.
"Just him? You can't beat him?"
He Shu is very thin. He ate instant noodles every day in junior high school, but he didn't get enough nutrition. Even when he entered high school and the food was a little better, he still looked frail compared to Lai Huaguang.
But if Lai Huaguang were to go it alone, even if he could defeat He Shu he would definitely be injured.
He had a fight with He Shu. He Shu was so ruthless that three or four people might not be able to subdue him. Otherwise, they would have beaten him every day when they were in junior high school.
This time, Lai Huaguang did not look for classmates in school, but people outside , just because he did not want to get himself into trouble.
"Brother, I can't fight. I'll be expelled. Please help me teach him a lesson."
Lai Huaguang took out two hundred yuan and gave one hundred to each person.
The two street thugs snorted, "How far do you want to teach him a lesson? If you want to break arms and legs, a hundred dollars won't be enough."
Lai Huaguang hurriedly waved his hands when he heard this. He was not that cruel. He was just very upset that He Shu had provoked Xia Miao and wanted to teach him a lesson.
"Just, just give him a beating, don't cripple or kill him."
Lai Huaguang threatened He Shu, but he was still a student who had not yet entered society, and he was a little scared if he really had to take action.
He also felt a little regretful for finding these two thugs. If He Shu was really beaten up, he would not be able to escape responsibility even if he did not do anything.
When the two gangsters saw Lai Huaguang’s cowardly look, they knew he had the will but not the courage.
"Okay, it's just a scare, right? We know what we are doing."
"Don't say that I told you to fight." Lai Huaguang reminded hurriedly.
The two men didn't take Lai Huaguang seriously, but this kid had money, so it wouldn't be bad to extort a hundred or two hundred from him a week.
Seeing that He Shu was about to disappear, the two gangsters hurriedly chased after him, but Lai Huaguang did not dare to follow him and turned around to go home.
He Shu's house has not been rebuilt and there are many old buildings. It used to be a good location in Danhe. Since the old bus station here was closed, this place has not been in good condition.
The biggest advantage is that this place can barely be classified as a school district. There are junior high schools and elementary schools nearby. The No. 2 Middle School where He Shunian studies is not far away, less than three stops away.
They were almost home after crossing the stone bridge. He Shu had just walked onto the bridge and to the middle when he heard footsteps behind him. Before he could turn around, someone kicked him in the back.
The man rushed over and kicked He Shu with such force that He Shu was thrown out and fell directly to the ground.
He endured the pain in his back and turned his head, just in time to see two young men throwing his dropped luggage bag and schoolbag under the bridge.
