Lovely Allergen - Chap 17
Jiang Yufan heard about Le Zhishi’s fight as soon as he entered the classroom. He ran out without even putting his bag down, but he was still a step too late. When he reached the bathroom, the Dean was already there.
The bathroom was a few square meters, but it was packed with people fighting and trying to stop each other. Jiang Yufan opened his shoulders and saw Le Zhishi immediately. His right eye was bruised, the corner of his mouth was torn, and his shirt was torn open. Blood dripped onto the knitted vest of his school uniform, staining the school badge red.
His face was filled with anger that had never been seen before.
“All of you, follow me to the office. What are the others looking at? Didn’t you hear the bell? Go back to your morning self-study! ”
Jiang Yufan couldn’t understand why Le Zhishi would fight with others. This wasn’t his style at all. He would believe it if someone said he was possessed by a ghost. Not only him, but everyone in the class was also dumbfounded when they heard about this.
“Who fought? Le Zhishi? You must be kidding … ”
“No way. Le Zhishi wasn’t even late, let alone fighting. Oh, except for the first day of school.”
“I heard that he was helping the student from the next class who skipped a grade. I don’t see them interact much. Why would he fight with someone like Wang Jie for him?”
“It was one against four.”
“Damn, Le is awesome.”
Some people leaned against the window of Group 4 and looked at the high school building opposite. The administrative offices of the Dean and the homeroom teacher were on the second and third floors of the building opposite.
“I can’t see anything …”
“He’s probably still lecturing? Maybe he’ll come out and write a self-reflection in the corridor later. ”
Jiang Yufan was very anxious and uneasy. He heard the girl in front of him talk about the other person involved.
“Cheng Mingming. He has a grudge with Wang Jie for a long time. They were elementary school classmates. The last time I ate in the cafeteria, I heard him say that Wang Jie’s family was very poor and that he stole his money. ”
“Really? Then this … ”
“Anyway, Wang Jie is not to be trifled with. Cheng Mingming’s parents don’t care about him. I felt that Le had been tricked this time, getting involved in this kind of thing. Who knows, maybe both sides will go back on their word and Le will be in the wrong. ”
Jiang Yufan sensed something when he heard that Le Zhishi’s parents weren’t around. He was worried that Le Zhishi would be taken advantage of, so he stood up and used the excuse of having a stomachache to go to the bathroom. In fact, he ran to the school building across the street.
In the office, Cheng Mingming, who was bullied, stuttered. No matter how the dean asked, he could not get an answer.
“What happened? Why are they fighting? ”
Cheng Mingming shook his head desperately. “It has nothing to do with me. I didn’t hit anyone.”
This was not the first time that Cheng Mingming and Wang Jie had a conflict. The Dean knew about it, and he could guess what was going on when he saw them. But what was strange about this matter was why Le Zhishi was involved. This child was famous for being an obedient and sensible student. All the teachers who had taught him before knew this.
Wang Qian, the homeroom teacher, was also called over. The Dean glanced at him. “He’s from your class. You can ask him yourself.”
Wang Qian knew Le Zhishi’s character well, so he did not go up to him and blame him.
“Le Zhishi, what happened?”
“Why did you fight with a classmate? This isn’t your style. ”
Le Zhishi lowered his head. The blood at the corner of his mouth had dried. He opened his mouth, as if he did not want to give a reason, but his attitude was very good. He directly admitted his mistake. “Miss Wang, I violated the school rules. I can write a self-reflection letter and stay in school as punishment. You can deal with it directly.”
Who knew that at this moment, someone would suddenly appear at the door and shout a report. Everyone turned around and saw Jiang Yufan’s anxious face. “Teacher, Le Zhishi saw Cheng Mingming being bullied by Wang Jie, so he went to the bathroom. He didn’t start this!”
Le Zhishi was afraid that Jiang Yufan would be dragged into this, so he immediately said to Wang Qian, “Teacher, Jiang Yufan wasn’t there.”
Jiang Yufan was anxious. “I wasn’t there, but someone saw it. A lot of students saw it.”
Wang Qian glanced at Le Zhishi and said to Jiang Yufan, “Go back to class. This has nothing to do with you.”
Although Jiang Yufan was unwilling, there was nothing he could do. He glanced at Le Zhishi worriedly and walked away unhappily.
The head teacher of the next class didn’t seem to want to interrogate Cheng Mingming as an important matter. First, he judged that Cheng Mingming didn’t make a big mistake. He greeted the head teacher and asked him to go back to study, and then questioned Wang Jie.
Wang Jie had been beaten until he was listless. He had been using tissue paper to wipe the blood from his mouth, but after being interrogated, he became rebellious. “What did I do? This has nothing to do with him at all. He came to me on his own accord. I wanted to let them go, but he turned around and punched me. He’s crazy. ”
His sidekick chimed in, “Yes! It was Le Zhishi who attacked first! ”
“We were trying to stop the fight, but I don’t know why he went crazy and started hitting people.”
“Teacher, if you don’t believe me, you can ask the people who were trying to stop the fight in the bathroom. They saw who started it.”
“It was me,” Le Zhishi admitted frankly. “I just wanted to hit him.”
As soon as he said this, the other teachers in the office looked askance.
Wang Qian didn’t expect this. He felt that the Le Zhishi standing in front of him was a completely different person.
“I don’t want to spend my time here arguing with you about who did more wrong and who did less wrong.” The Dean clasped his hands behind his back and went through the situation according to his own thoughts. “Wang Jie, you brought people to bully Cheng Mingming. Le Zhishi, you stood up for Cheng Mingming, right? But you caused a fight. You and Wang Jie both made serious mistakes in this matter and will be given a serious demerit. Your homeroom teacher will handle the rest. ”
Then, he looked at Miss Wang. “Call the parents if you need to. Call the parents if you need to.”
Miss Wang nodded and watched the Dean leave. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he took Le Zhishi to the teachers’ pantry next door. “I’ll take you to the school hospital to deal with the wound on your face.”
“It’s okay, Teacher,” Le Zhishi said. “The door will open in a while. I can go there myself.”
Miss Wang poured him a glass of water. “If it was someone who usually fights and causes trouble, I would have called the parents to deal with it directly. Things aren’t that simple if you can force the rabbit into a corner.”
Le Zhishi held the paper cup and was silent for a long time. Finally, he said, “Teacher, I don’t want to say it, but I promise you that I will never fight with students again. You can punish me however you want. ”
“Then I’ll call the parents?” Wang Qian put down the cup and looked at Le Zhishi.
“I …” Le Zhishi also looked up at him. “Yes, but my parents are out of town these few days. We can only wait for them to come back …”
“Okay.” Wang Qian looked at him. “As your homeroom teacher, I respect that you have your reasons for not wanting to say it, but you have to know that violence is not a good way to solve problems, no matter when. If the other party insults you, you can tell me. If you don’t trust me, you can also ask others for help. Do you understand? ”
Le Zhishi knew that he had a problem and nodded.
“Okay, I understand.”
He stayed in the pantry to finish writing the self-reflection. When he left, the morning self-study was already over. Le Zhishi went to the school hospital alone to deal with his wound. When he returned to the classroom, before Wang Jin’s language class began, he read the self-reflection to the class.
“You can go back to your seat.” Miss Wang stood at the podium. “This fight has also sounded the alarm for the rest of us. Don’t stand up for others. If you encounter any school violence, inform the teacher immediately. Don’t try to use violence to fight violence.”
Although it was a fight, Le Zhishi’s popularity made almost everyone stand on his side. This incident quickly spread among the students. Most of them directly regarded him as a hero who acted bravely for a just cause. No one knew the real reason Le Zhishi fought, and no one wanted to know. They just wanted to grab a fresh topic to talk about in the boring school life.
After class, it was time to do the exercises between classes. Jiang Yufan ran to Le Zhishi’s seat. “Do your eyes hurt? Let’s go to the supermarket to buy a popsicle to apply to your eyes. ” He reached out to touch it, but was afraid that it would hurt. When he saw Le Zhishi shake his head honestly, he pitied him. “You hit him too hard. Why didn’t you wait for me?”
“I also made him bleed.” Le Zhishi seriously counted the results of the battle.
“He must have offended you. What happened? You usually don’t participate in these things. Tell me, and I’ll find a chance to avenge you. ”
But no matter how he asked, Le Zhishi refused to say anything. Jiang Yufan’s guess was similar to his own guess. If it weren’t for his parents, Le Zhishi wouldn’t have fought with him. He calmly changed the topic. “Your sweet osmanthus looks delicious.”
“Right? It can only be eaten when the sugar melts. These were all beaten down from the tree by me and Brother Song Yu … Ouch … “At the mention of this, Le Zhishi became excited and accidentally pulled the wound on the corner of his mouth.
“Ouch, slow down.” Speaking of this, Jiang Yufan remembered. “Your brother probably knows about your fight. He won’t scold you, right?”
Le Zhishi’s eyes widened instantly. “No way.”
“What do you think? The morning self-study session has already spread, okay? I just saw the post on Peiya’s Tieba. A lot of people liked it, but most of them were scolding Wang Jie. ”
Le Zhishi was unsure. He grabbed Jiang Yufan’s sleeve. “Do I look ugly right now?”
“No, you don’t.” Jiang Yufan laughed. “Why do you suddenly have the burden of being an idol? It’s fine. Those little girls worship you. You fought so handsomely. ”
Le Zhishi didn’t care about this at all. He just didn’t want Song Yu to know that he fought with someone, and he didn’t want to face him with this face.
“I’m not going to exercise. I want to take a leave.” Le Zhishi ran to find the class leader. He hid in the classroom to do his homework. He had to hide anyway, and it would be too embarrassing if he bumped into the class leader.
His eyes hurt and swollen. Le Zhishi began to regret. He didn’t regret hitting someone, but he regretted that he didn’t perform well. If he had to do it again, he would definitely be able to dodge those punches and knock that guy to the ground.
After he came back from exercise, a few girls in the class gave him band-aids. A girl from another class even bought him a bottle of ice water for his eyes. Le Zhishi thanked them one by one, even though he didn’t need most of the things. It didn’t feel good to be in the limelight. He wanted to keep a low profile in the future.
Aunt Rong wasn’t home at noon, so she didn’t have to go home for lunch. This gave Le Zhishi an opportunity to hide. He wasn’t hungry, so he stayed in the classroom to do his homework. If he did more now, he could do less at night. He wanted to go home early today, take a shower, and hide in his room. He wanted to minimize the chances of meeting Song Yu.
Le Zhishi, who was immersed in the geometry problem with his “perfect plan”, lowered his head more and more until his chin rested on the exercise book.
“Does the existence of point E … make it equal …” Le Zhishi read the question in a low voice. His eyebrows were knitted together, and his eyes hurt more and more. “How do I prove …”
“Suppose it exists.”
A voice suddenly came from above his head. Le Zhishi thought he was hallucinating, so he looked up immediately.
Exists?
He now suspected that he was seeing things. His brother didn’t exist.
Song Yu was still calm. He didn’t look at him and only looked at the question. “By reductio ad absurdum, first assume, then deduce the contradiction when there is an equal condition.”
So, he really did come.
Le Zhishi nodded softly. He lowered his head and wrote down the word “prove”. He asked carefully, “When did you come?”
“Just now.”
“Okay …” Le Zhishi lowered his head and wrote down “Suppose point E exists.”
Song Yu looked at the top of his head. “Don’t do it. Go back and eat.”
“Go back?” Le Zhishi stood up in a daze and followed Song Yu out. Aunt Rong and his uncle were not at home, so there should be no one at home to cook. “Aren’t we going to the cafeteria?”
“Let’s go home.”
He must have known about the fight, but he didn’t seem unhappy. Le Zhishi was a little nervous.
Song Yu was walking half a step in front of him. His arm was hanging down, and his fingers were long and slender. As he stared, Le Zhishi suddenly remembered his childhood. He remembered that when he had just entered the school in the first grade of primary school, they had also walked on the road one after the other. However, at that time, the person who was fighting was Song Yu, and the one who was being bullied was Le Zhishi.
He cried and held Song Yu’s hand as they went home.
Why can’t we hold hands now?
Such a strange idea suddenly popped up in Le Zhishi’s mind, and then he unexpectedly reached out his hand.
But the person in front of him suddenly put his hand into the pocket of his school uniform. Song Yu’s phone had been vibrating since they left the classroom. He couldn’t stand it anymore and took it out to take a look. It was a message from Qin Yan.
[Qin Yan: Damn, I just went to the toilet. Where are you?]
[Qin Yan: They said you’re not going to the cafeteria? Didn’t we agree to have lunch together today?]
[Qin Yan: Are you going back to school later? Let’s play basketball with Old Zhang and the rest for half an hour later.]
Song Yu wanted to reply that he was going to rest at home, but he didn’t expect a long message to pop up. He frowned when he saw it.
[Qin Yan: Damn! Xiao Hei said he saw you and your brother leaving the school gate. Are you going to start a fight? It’s just a fight between boys. Don’t get angry at him. Hey, wait, your mom isn’t home today. Who’s going to cook when she’s home? Do you want to starve Le to death?]
Song Yu immediately stood still and lowered his head to reply to the message. Le Zhishi also stood still when he saw this. He hurriedly retracted his hand and put it behind his back.
The autumn sun was not strong, but it scorched his back and burned his palms.
After he finished typing, Song Yu looked back at Le Zhishi. “Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
Qin Yan, who was eating soy sauce fried rice in the cafeteria, turned on his phone and almost spat it out.
[I’m cooking. I’ve been wronged, so I have to eat something good.]
