Rebirth of the Rich Second Generation's Growth Diary

Chapter 19 Maturity
The boy who greeted Li Xu was called Ren Jie.

Just as Li Xu guessed, his initial show-offs when he arrived at the village middle school aroused hostility from some people.

There are indeed some students like this in junior high school. They are already xenophobic, and if the outsider has some annoying traits, they will be even more xenophobic.

After all, in the eyes of many rural students, urban atmosphere and stupidity are equated.

Of course, most people, no matter how unhappy they are inside, will not show it.

But no matter where you are, there will always be people who like to make noise and express themselves.

But Ren Jie just looked at Li Xu suspiciously at this time.

What does this guy mean?
He couldn't help but think back to the week when Li Xu first arrived at the school.

We were playing basketball that day, and Li Xu came later. After all, there was only one basketball court in the village middle school, and all the boys in the school would play there.

There was no problem at first, but then a conflict arose and someone stepped on his shoes. This was not a big deal until Li Xu said... "Do you know how expensive these shoes on my feet are? They're Nike, over 2,000! Can you afford it?"

Because they were in class, no bigger conflict occurred, but at that time, Ren Jie actually wanted to help his brother and beat Li Xu.

I didn't find a suitable opportunity later.

Li Xu’s elder is a volunteer teacher in the school.

Today, his brother's father went to the county town on business, so they took the opportunity to go to the county town together to play and go to the game hall to play arcade games.

Unfortunately, my luck was not very good today. The few dollars I had on me were quickly used up, and I had to wait a while before going back, so I ran to the market for a stroll again. While strolling, I naturally chatted about some topics that interested me.

The eternal topic is someone's rather annoying behavior...

Just happened to be talking about Li Xu's incident...

His brother said, "Stop bragging. Li Xu's clothes are very expensive. If you really beat him up, won't your dad break your legs?"

Ren Jie felt insulted and embarrassed, so he said, "Bullshit, am I that kind of a coward? The worst that can happen is that I'll die with him!"

At this time, the original reason for beating Li Xu is no longer important. What is important is that if you don't beat him, you will become a coward. In order to avoid becoming a coward, there is nothing wrong with dying together.

As luck would have it, they actually ran into Li Xu here.

What is this? This is a narrow road for enemies!
Then I have to go up and provoke him.

Ren Jie wanted to make Li Xu unhappy, so he deliberately called him "Nike Prince".

What he didn't expect was that Li Xu had a strange and confused expression on his face, and asked politely who he was, which made him feel powerless as if he had punched the air.

Ren Jie sneered: "Aren't your shoes more than 2,000? Prince Nike?"

Li Xu looked down at his shoes... Because the time passed so long ago, he had indeed forgotten that incident. After all, in his rich life experience, that incident did seem too insignificant.

But he could still guess that it was his own showing off that caused the trouble.

"Oh, you're talking about this..." Li Xu slowly raised his head and said with a sincere tone and a deep sense of apology, "I was young and frivolous and didn't know what to say before. Don't mind it, brother."

Ren Jie suddenly showed a bewildered expression...

Li Xu's arrogant face a month ago was still vivid in his mind. His purpose of being so provocative today was to anger Li Xu and make him uncomfortable. But when he spoke to him in such a tone, he made a 360-degree turn and just admitted defeat?

It should have been a very embarrassing thing, but for some reason, Ren Jie didn't feel that he had gained face...

It's a bit uncomfortable.

However, since the other party has already given in, it would not be right to continue provoking him... In fact, he couldn't even say anything provocative.

"You...it's good that you know you're wrong! You can't talk like that next time, okay?"

Ren Jie gritted his teeth and said words of instruction, but it was the first time he used such a tone to say such words to his peers. He was not very used to it and spoke haltingly.

Li Xu nodded calmly again: "Brother, you are absolutely right. Let me teach you. I will treat you to some grilled gluten!"

When Ren Jie heard about eating grilled gluten, his brother couldn't help but look at the grilled gluten before he could express his opinion.

At this time, another person's expression became a little subtle and complicated...Liu Ruilan.

She couldn't understand Li Xu at all.

As if noticing Liu Ruilan's gaze, Li Xu turned around and said with a smile: "Everyone who listens has a share, so you have a share too!" Liu Ruilan was startled and quickly shook her head: "I... I don't want it!"

If I accept it, wouldn't I become the same person as Xia Xiaohe?
Li Xu looked at Liu Tao who was standing next to Liu Ruilan and said, "Handsome boy, you have a share too!"

When his sister refused just now, Liu Tao was already a little anxious. He protested in his heart, "Sister, if you don't want me, I want it!"
If you want, I can have a bite or two.

Unexpectedly, Li Xu gave it to him directly. He nodded quickly: "Thank you...uncle...brother!"

Liu Ruilan glared at her disappointing brother and said, "What did I teach you? You can't ask for things from strangers..."

"But Big Brother is not a stranger..."

"You can't eat other people's food!"

"You...you haven't eaten the chocolate yet..." Liu Tao said in a low voice.

Liu Ruilan widened her eyes and her face turned red. What she said just now had completely lost its persuasiveness because of Liu Tao's words.

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Liu Tao quickly shut up.

Li Xu looked at the brother and sister, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to the boss: "Give me six skewers!"

The boss happily brushed the dipping sauce on six skewers of grilled gluten and said, "Okay, young man!"

Li Xu paid, picked up two skewers, and looked at Ren Jie and his companions, "Take it yourselves!"

Ren Jie hesitated for a moment, and his brother did not move either. The two of them looked at each other at the same time.

At this moment, Ye Ling, who was behind, had almost finished shopping and was walking towards here. She called out, "Li Xu, come here and help me get something!"

Li Xu then said to them, "I'm leaving first!" He picked up a string and took a bite himself, then gave the other string to his cousin.

After Ren Jie and his brother saw Li Xu leave, they quietly gathered around the kebab stall... Ren Jie was silent for a moment and said, "Boss, give me more chili..."

He turned his head and looked at Li Xu again with a complicated expression.

Liu Ruilan's expression was also complicated. Only Liu Tao was happy here. He looked at the grilled gluten and swallowed his saliva.

……

There is only one bus back.

Naturally, I met Liu Ruilan again.

This time the bus started from the county town and passed through many towns, so there were a lot of people. When they got on the bus, there was no seat and they could only stand.

Ye Ling was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Li Xu could really adapt to such a life... He had never even taken the subway, let alone the minibus in the small county town. She originally thought that he would complain like before.

At this time, Li Xu protected her very well. He stood there, separating several people with strong odors, leaving her a small but relatively peaceful space.

Not only can he adapt... he also knows how to take care of people.

Liu Ruilan, holding the little fat boy, was also squeezed in front of him.

There was no communication at first.

After a while, Liu Ruilan finally couldn't help herself and looked up at Li Xu and asked, "Um... you really don't recognize Ren Jie anymore?"

Li Xu glanced down at Liu Ruilan, a faint smile on his face, and said meaningfully, "Then what else can I do? Should I fight him?"

Liu Ruilan was stunned. This sentence was like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples in her heart.

I've never seen a boy of my age behave like this before...

He apologized and treated them to grilled gluten.

Wouldn't he feel embarrassed by this?

But Liu Ruilan quickly reacted...

It seems that he doesn't feel embarrassed by doing this.

On the contrary, there is a very reassuring feeling.
