Chapter 164 [Home] (Part 2)(1/2)
Yu Jiajia did not lie. She did come to school to practice premature skills.
There is a dance club in their school, and it is obvious... school beauties like Yu Jiajia are of course a pillar. During the summer vacation, she would come to the school’s dance club practice room every day to practice early exercises, but today, due to some special reasons, she came earlier than usual.
The girl was so scared that Chen Xiaolian simply walked into the school with the two of them, and then watched Yu Jiajia go to the teacher building to go to the practice room. Then she turned around and looked at the people around her: "Your face is swollen, do you have ice in your house?"
The other party shook his head.
Chen Xiaolian thought about it, reached into his pocket of his shirt, and took out a first aid kit: "Let's go, I'll get you a wound." He looked at the other party: "Do you live nearby?"
The other party raised his hand and pointed in one direction.
...
The guy lives in the school... a row of low houses at the entrance of the playground. It is next to the school's canteen and boiler room, and a brick and tile bungalow is built. From the outside, it is obviously an illegal building. But naturally no one comes to care about it in the school.
This house was built by the school itself, and it was originally prepared to pile up some debris or serve as dormitories for school workers.
I accompanied this guy into the low bungalow. As soon as I entered the door, I smelled a faint musty smell. This was the smell caused by the lack of ventilation.
Chen Xiaolian frowned, and he looked at the window of the bungalow. The window was blocked and nailed to death with wooden strips.
"Why don't you open the window?" Chen Xiaolian pointed at the window.
"It's windy in winter, it's broken." The answer was still a dull tone.
"Okay, I'll get you a wound. Come on."
Chen Xiaolian pressed him down and sat down. After some examination, he found that this guy not only had his nose bleeding, his arm was sprained, and his waist was even more blue, and he was obviously kicked.
More importantly, after taking off the top, there were some other scars on this guy's thin body - it was obviously all shot out.
Chen Xiaolian's face looked a little ugly: "Do you often get bullied on weekdays?"
"...I'm used to it." The man shook his head.
Chen Xiaolian helped him wipe the blood from his nose. He stuffed it in with cotton, and then took out the medicinal wine to help him wipe it.
This guy didn't cry out for pain. He silently asked Chen Xiaolian to finish it, but he suddenly stood up and Mu walked out of the room blankly.
After a while, he came back, holding a glass in his hand, with boiling water and steaming hot.
"You... drink water." He stood in front of Chen Xiaolian and placed the cup on the table in front of Chen Xiaolian: "Mug, I've washed it, it's very clean!"
Chen Xiaolian found that his hands were wet, but his heart felt warm.
He picked up the cup without hesitation and took a sip. Although the boiling water had a thick smell of scale, Chen Xiaolian drank half a cup in one breath.
"You were very brave just now." Chen Xiaolian said slowly: "I have seen it all."
He didn't say anything.
"People in this school usually bully you. Why did you save her just now?"
The man looked at the cup in front of Chen Xiaolian, his eyes were a little slow. He seemed to think: "Mom said that we should protect women and not hurt women."
Chen Xiaolian was having fun.
At this moment, Yu Jiajia's voice came from outside.
"That, please, please... is anyone?"
Chen Xiaolian stood up and opened the door, and saw Yu Jiajia standing at the door.
She was holding a plastic bag in her hand, which contained a bag of soy milk and two sesame cakes. In addition, there seemed to be a bottle of medicinal oil and other things.
This action made Chen Xiaolian feel better about her senses.
"I, I just saw his pancakes thrown on the ground. I, I will give him some food." Yu Jiajia's face turned red and a little cramped. She suddenly remembered something and raised the bag in her hand: "There are some ointments here that are used to treat bruises and injuries. We often use them when dancing, and the effect is very good. He, wasn't he injured just now? I, I..."
"Come in." Chen Xiaolian let the door open: "If you want to thank me, it's better to say it yourself."
"Yeah!" Yu Jiajia nodded vigorously and walked in.
The musty smell in the room only made the girl frown slightly. She didn't say anything, and walked to the thin figure sitting on the bed and placed the thing next to his hand: "Thank you just now, thank you very much! You, you are a good person!"
Chen Xiaolian couldn't help laughing, "Did you start sending good people to the middle of the morning? School beauty classmate?"
Yu Jiajia's face turned red again, and she bit her lip, as if she didn't know what to say.
"I'm fine." The short and thin figure raised his head and looked at Yu Jiajia: "You go."
"..." Yu Jiajia pinched her finger hard. She hesitated for a moment and whispered: "I want to say sorry to you. You... I didn't help you if you bully you on weekdays. And... and... they sometimes bully you because I'm..."
The man didn't say anything, and waited quietly for Yu Jiajia to finish speaking, but still shook his head: "I'm fine."
Faced with such a wooden man, Yu Jiajia seemed to be at a loss and didn't know how to communicate with the other party.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward, so Chen Xiaolian simply made a gesture to Yu Jiajia, and then the two walked outside.
"Okay, there's nothing wrong anyway, you go back." Chen Xiaolian looked at it and saw that it was already bright and the sun was rising, and smiled and said, "You are also frightened. Go back and practice your skills."
"Should we call the police?"
"... Forget it." Chen Xiaolian smiled and said, "I'm leaving soon. Now I'll be in trouble with the police. Moreover, I've taught them a lesson. I broke my hands and even if I went to the hospital to get the fracture, it would take several months to recover. They have to suffer."
"Well, then I'll go back." Yu Jiajia thought for a while, and she felt that Chen Xiaolian didn't seem to want to communicate with her. This discovery made the girl feel a little disappointed. She hesitated for a moment: "Thank you for what happened just now, you are..."
"Good man! I know I am a good man." Chen Xiaolian smiled bitterly and said, "I ran to Hang'an all the way. Just one day later, I was sent a good man card. Okay, go back."
Yu Jiajia chuckled, then she looked at Chen Xiaolian deeply: "Can I know your name?"
Chen Xiaolian thought about it, looked at Yu Jiajia, and a sincere smile appeared on his face.
"My name is Roddy."
Yu Jiajia suddenly smiled and narrowed her eyes, looking at Chen Xiaolian: "I will remember your name! Thank you, Roddy!"
As he said that, the girl blushed, lowered her head and ran away from Chen Xiaolian.
...
"Ah Yeh!!"
Somewhere in this world, Roddy sneezes hard, looked at the sky, and shivered: "It must be that the little face's soul is talking bad about me behind my back."
He shook his head, then turned sideways and popped out of his head from behind a big tree. His eyes quickly became gentle, and he looked at a slim figure on the bench in the park in the distance.
Gaze quietly.
...
"You were lying just now."
Chen Xiaolian turned around and saw the thin guy standing at the door looking at him.
"Well?"
"Rody, this is definitely not your name." He shook his head, and said in a serious tone: "You lied to her."
"How do you know?" Chen Xiaolian raised his eyebrows.
"I just know." His tone was clumsy: "I can hear it when others lie."
After a pause, he tried to explain his meaning: "When you say a name, your tone is a bit slow. It means you are thinking - how can you still think about a person when he says his name? But when he says the name Roddy, it is very smooth, which means that the name is very familiar to you. But it is definitely not your name. It should... be a person you are very familiar with."
Chen Xiaolian was stunned for a moment.
He suddenly remembered the words that the man left when he left at the school gate yesterday afternoon.
"I'm not a fool!"
...
Chen Xiaolian looked at the other party seriously, then stretched out his hand: "My name is Chen Xiaolian. This is my real name. I am eighteen years old. From now on, we are friends."
"Friend..." A strange light seemed to flash in the other party's eyes, and he pointed at his nose: "Da Gang. Twenty-two years old."
Dagang? It turns out to be a very ordinary name - just as ordinary as his appearance. However... Looking at his short and thin body, Chen Xiaolian smiled: "Your parents should really hope that you will become a tall and strong guy. That's why they gave you such a name, right?"
Chen Xiaolian regretted this sentence as soon as he said it.
His eyes when he looked at Dagang suddenly dimmed.
Chen Xiaolian immediately remembered Dagang's miserable life experience. His parents...
"sorry."
"...It's okay." Dagang shook his head.
...
Judging from his appearance, Dagang doesn't look like a man in his twenties at all. He is very thin and short, as if he is poor in his drinking and underdeveloped due to long-term poor drinking.
Chen Xiaolian did not rush to leave, but sat in the room with Dagang for a while.
He increasingly discovered that this guy named Dagang was a very interesting person.
He looked dull and stupid, but in fact it was just his appearance. He didn't like to communicate with people and was not good at speaking. But in fact, he was not stupid at all, and he was very clear about everything in his heart. He should even be considered a smarter person.
Dagang burned a pot of water on the coal stove in the room. When the water boiled, he picked up the bag of sesame cakes that Yu Jiajia sent, broke them apart piece by piece, threw them into the pot and cooked them. Then he took out a pair of bowls and chopsticks and handed them to Chen Xiaolian.
"Eat something?" Dagang looked at Chen Xiaolian, and his eyes seemed to be expecting: "It's cold, and the sesame cakes are hard and not delicious, so it's better to cook them softly."
Chen Xiaolian captured the keenness in Dagang's eyes.
