Chapter 76: Past Events
"Beep-beep-beep-beep-"
A short alarm sounded, and a small red light kept flashing. The faces of several people who were waiting around the machine and chatting casually changed drastically at the same time.
"What's going on?" Shu Qi asked. He had just connected his phone to the detector when the alarm sounded. He knew it was not a good thing.
He Xin murmured: "It's been invaded..."
Shao Baoer, who was standing next to her, changed her expression and quietly shrank her hand holding the phone behind her back.
The man standing in front of the detector was in his forties, with a sloppy and decadent appearance. He said weakly, "Well, that's it. Your phone has been hacked by crows... We checked all the electronic devices that were suspected of being hacked by crows. After millions of comparisons, we found that a small section of code in these machines had undergone a slight change - don't ask us how we found it, you won't understand even if I tell you - the point is that this change has now appeared in your phone program, so it can be considered that this phone has been successfully hacked by crows. You didn't leak any important information, did you?"
Shu Qi shook his head and said, "No, I only made two greeting calls."
"That's good. Where are other people's phones? Check them for me too." The decadent man stretched out his hand, and Jiang Quan and others immediately took out their phones and put them down, only Shao Baoer hesitated for a moment.
Who are the people present? Even the most unreliable and decadent man has a keen observation ability that is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Everyone immediately looked at Shao Baoer, and Shu Qi asked: "Baoer, what's wrong?"
"I... I may... have said something that I shouldn't have..." Shao Baoer said with tears in her eyes, as if she was about to cry.
"What's going on?" Everyone immediately became nervous.
Shu Qi frowned and looked at Shao Baoer thoughtfully.

"When you get there, take care of your health, eat on time, pay attention to nutritional balance, eat more fruits and vegetables, and don't eat junk food. If you get sick, don't be stubborn or take medicine on your own. Go to the teacher and the doctor immediately. It's been cold these two days. If you feel cold in the dormitory, buy two more quilts. Don't open the windows when you sleep at night, and don't stay up late. If studying is too hard, give up one or two subjects appropriately, and don't push yourself too hard. At your age, it's time to have fun..."
Zheng Yirou pulled Rong Yuan aside and kept talking, and Rong Yuan kept nodding his head in agreement. Jin Yang, who was standing next to her, made a face behind her mother's back, expressing his gloating over his current situation of being nagged endlessly.
Rong Yuan is now leaving for City B to participate in the intensive training of the national training team. Jin Yang's mother Zheng Yirou brought Jin Yang to the airport to see him off. Zhou Yunze also came with them, in addition to the school's principal and dean of academic affairs. In addition, although Rong Yuan said several times that it was not necessary, his head teacher would still fly with him to City B and would not come back until he was settled.
"If you don't have enough money, just call me and your Uncle Jin, okay? Did you keep the phone numbers I gave you before? Also, if there's anything you can't handle , just call them. I've already informed them in advance. They're all family, so there's no need to be restrained." Seeing that the deadline for ticket checking was approaching, the airport had already sounded several broadcasts urging passengers to check in and board the plane, so Zheng Yirou ended with this sentence.
"My mother has said everything I wanted to say. I just wish you a safe journey and a fruitful return!" Jin Yang said with a smile as he punched Rong Yuan on the chest with his fist.
"Yes, it's necessary." Rong Yuan said calmly.
The school leaders told him to seize the opportunity, study hard, and strive to get better grades. Zhou Yunze said something similar, Rong Yuan listened indifferently, nodded slightly, and said goodbye.
After watching the class teacher and Rong Yuan go through the ticket gate, everyone left the airport. Zheng Yirou drove the car, while Zhou Yunze and Jin Yang sat in the back seat.
"Why do I feel like I'm hated?" Zhou Yunze said, touching his nose, thinking of Rong Yuan's deliberate avoidance of him just now.
Jin Yang thinks so too.
"No way? Xiaoyuan has always been like this, cold on the outside but warm on the inside." Zheng Yirou said in front, "Yunze, don't take it to heart. You will know after spending more time with him that Xiaoyuan is really a very special and kind child."
"That's true. But he seems to be a difficult person to approach, except for his particularly good relationship with Yangyang." Zhou Yunze asked curiously, "Is it because of their complementary personalities?"
Zheng Yirou laughed and said, "Well... this story started more than ten years ago."
…
Rong Yuan met Jin Yang in elementary school, but in fact, Jin Yang already knew Rong Yuan when he was in kindergarten.
At that time, they went to the same kindergarten because they lived in the same school district. However, Jin Yang was in the first grade class and Rong Yuan was in the third grade class.
It had only been a short time since the school started, and all the teachers were saying that there was a strange kid in Class 3.
He is very smart. He can remember what the teacher taught him only once. He did all his homework, such as drawing, coloring, and writing numbers, by himself, and he never missed a single one. He is also very withdrawn. He never plays with other children and is unwilling to talk to the teacher. At first, some people suspected that he might be mute . But in fact, he speaks clearly, uses accurate words, and has a soft and cute voice, but he just doesn't want to speak. He can sit still for a whole day, and the way he looks at people makes even adults feel a little scared.
Jin Yang heard from the teacher that the child had a disease called "autism", but some teachers also said that he was a genius.
Once, when the children of Class 3 were having an activity class outdoors, Jin Yang climbed onto a stool and lay on the windowsill. From a distance , he recognized the "strange kid" at a glance.
The other children were playing games like "Eagle Catches Chicken" under the guidance of the teacher, shouting and jumping with great joy, but there was only one skinny child sitting aside, not even looking at them, only concentrating on playing with the nine-linked rings in his hand. Jin Yang saw that he only took a short while to completely untie the difficult toy, and then put it on and untie it, and repeated it many times, his small fingers quickly moving between the rings and the frame, as if he didn't need any time to think.
Young Jin Yang was filled with admiration. He had played with that kind of toy himself, but he would often fiddle with it for a long time and it would become more and more confusing, and he would give up without a clue. Usually at this time, his father would come to help him... but his father didn't seem to be as fast as this child!
Xiao Jinyang always thought that his father was the most powerful person in the world. Seeing that a child could beat his father, he was shocked and it was like rebuilding his worldview. He ran out after class to meet the child, but he couldn't find the child and his nine-linked ring on the playground.
It was half a year later that we met again.
Once, Jin Yang's parents had something to do and didn't arrange for anyone to pick him up, so he became the last child left. However, the teacher gave him some snacks and a lot of toys to play with, so Jin Yang didn't feel scared or lonely. After playing for a while, he suddenly saw a scary old man walking in from the gate.
He was an old man whose appearance and expression could scare a child to tears. He had a very dark complexion and deep wrinkles on his face, like dry bark. His gray hair was messy and dirty, his cheeks were sunken, the skin on both sides of his face drooped, the corners of his mouth drooped, and his eyes were cold and terrifying, as if he hadn't smiled for hundreds of years. He was wearing several long and dirty clothes, holding a black cane in his skinny hands, and his steps were fast and sharp when he walked, with a kind of intimidating momentum.
——It’s exactly like the god of death in the story!
Little Jinyang was so scared that he immediately hid behind the door and carefully poked his head out to look around. Then he saw the skinny little boy running out from the next door, standing in front of the old man with a small schoolbag on his back.
——Will I be eaten by that monster?
Little Jinyang covered his mouth and watched in fear as the old man looked at the "food" with the scary eyes of a demon, then turned and walked away without saying a word. The little boy followed behind. The old man walked very fast, and he had a hard time keeping up, and even fell down accidentally. But the man in front did not turn around to wait or help him up, and he did not cry, but got up and trotted after him without saying a word.
Little Jinyang was stunned. The young boy didn't know what he felt at that moment. He grabbed his chest and felt very uncomfortable... very uncomfortable... more uncomfortable than when he had a cold or a fever, more painful than when he got an injection, and more bitter than the medicine his mother forced him to take.
Ten minutes later, Jin Bai finally finished his work and came to pick up Jin Yang . As soon as they met, his serious face showed a silly father's smile, and he picked up Jin Yang who rushed over and let him ride on his neck.
Jin Yang did not cheer like he did before, but hugged his father's head silently.
"What's wrong, baby? Are you scared that daddy comes to pick you up so late?" Jin Bai asked softly.
"No!" Jin Yang hugged him tightly, not knowing how to describe his feelings. After a while, he said in a muffled voice: "Dad, I love you."
His son's sudden words melted Jin Bai's heart. He said with great cherishment, "Daddy loves you too, baby!"
Jin Yang felt that his heart had finally settled down, and that inexplicable uncomfortable feeling dissipated a little.
After that, Jin Yang paid more attention to the "strange kid". He knew his name was Rong Yuan, and he also knew that he always kept to himself and never participated in any group activities. He also knew that he always stayed until the end of the class, and that scary old grandfather would come to pick him up.
There is an inexplicable competition between children from an early age. For kindergarten children, being the first one to be picked up by their parents is a matter of pride. For this reason, parents often fight over who will be the first to pick up their children. So naturally, the child who is always left at the end looks very pitiful.
Once, they were both doing outdoor activities, and Jin Yang wanted to make friends with them. But before he walked over, he saw several tall and fat little boys surrounding Rong Yuan, pushing him down, and making fun of him for being an orphan. Jin Yang saw Rong Yuan blinking blankly as if he was frightened, then he stood up slowly, patted the dirt off his body, then leaned over to pick up his small stool, and quietly and without hesitation, smashed it towards the fat boy opposite!
The fat boy sat down on the ground. The small stool was made of plastic, not very heavy, but it still hurt when it hit his face. The opponent's momentum was even more frightening. The fat boy cried loudly.
Rong Yuan was unmoved. He picked up a small stool and beat the remaining children who were shouting "tell the teacher/father/mother" one by one, making them all cry. Then, while the teacher was not here yet, he turned around and beat the first one again.
——He was obviously much thinner than those children, but at that moment, he really was like a big devil!
After realizing that this kid was so scary, Xiao Jinyang got scared. He pulled his feet back and thought: I'll make friends next time.
