As soon as Ye Cheng walked out of the teaching building, he met Hua Wangchun and was pulled by him to ask him a few words about studying.

Since this semester, Hua Wangchun has been very fond of him. He always smiles like his aunt and praises everyone he meets. He told Ye Cheng that the school will hold a cultural festival in a while and needs to put on a few programs.

Let him ‌‌‌ not want to participate.

Ye Cheng dealt with him for a few minutes. When he arrived at the restaurant, Chen Zhen was already sitting at his seat.

"Sorry, I'm late." Ye Cheng said hello to him and sat down.

Chen Zhen said hurriedly: "It doesn't matter, I just arrived not long ago."

This restaurant looks relatively high-end, and there are not many students at noon. The people sitting around are social people who attend classes nearby. They are wearing school uniforms, and they are very eye-catching when they sit here.

The waiter brought the menu and asked them politely what they wanted to eat. Chen Zhen looked at her awkwardly.

Ye Cheng said considerately: "You know a few of this restaurant's signature dishes, which taste quite good. Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

"‌I'm not picky about food, I'll eat anything." Chen Zhen shook his head.

Ye Cheng ‌‌ some dishes with more popular tastes, then got up and went to settle the bill with the waiter.

When he sat down again, Chen Zhen moved embarrassedly and said, "How can I let you treat me? I'll just transfer the money to you."

Ye Cheng took a sip of pomegranate juice and said to him: "Didn't you say that we are friends? Friends must care about these things."

He always speaks in a flawless manner, making people feel that rejection is his own fault.

"Well, that will really cost you money." Chen Zhen scratched his head gratefully.

Ye Cheng noticed that he had a band-aid on his hand, and there were a few scratches on his finger bones.

"What's wrong with your hands?" he asked with concern.

Chen Zhen glanced at his left hand and said, "Ah... this, I accidentally rubbed it yesterday when I was moving bricks."

"Moving bricks? Are you looking for a place to work?" Ye Cheng thought he was looking for a part-time job to support his family.

Chen Zhen said: "Well, I'll find him during the summer vacation to haul cement at a nearby construction site."

Ye Cheng was slightly shocked and speechless.

He knew that the conditions of Chen Zhen's family were average, but he did not expect that it would be so difficult that he would have to go to the construction site.

He wanted to ask ‌ something, but he felt it was not good to ask about someone else's ‌.

But Chen Zhen has regarded him as a good friend, and took the initiative to explain: "My parents are working in other places, and their life is not easy. My grandfather is sick again, so I have to save money to go to college."

.The control outside is very strict, and formal companies are not willing to accept it. Actually, it’s not bad, it’s just a hard work on the weekend.”

Ye Cheng is quite thin, with pale cheeks. He doesn't look like he can do strenuous work. Only a strong middle-aged man can handle a place like a construction site.

He frowned and said, "What will you do when you are in your third year of high school? It will be too distracting."

"Hey, let's talk about it then." Chen Zhen sighed, "We can only take it one step at a time."

Ye Cheng thought about it and said, "If I had a job teaching children, would you be willing to do it?"

Chen Zhen opened his eyes wide and said, "Of course I do, I wish I could. It's just that my relatives are poorer, so tutoring is free. Those tutors outside are not a high school student."

All the resumes I submitted were rejected‌.”

Ye Cheng said: "I can ask my neighbor for you. His son is in elementary school and he is looking for a high school student or college student to help with tutoring."

Chen Zhen was knocked unconscious by the sudden pie and stared at him blankly.

Ye Cheng added: "But it may not be possible. I'll ask you first. I'll tell you the news if it's true."

A few seconds later, Chen Zhen excitedly held his hand on the table, "Oh my god, Ye Cheng, ‌... ‌ I don't know how to thank you... you are so kind!"

Ye Cheng was not used to being touched by strangers and shrank slightly. Only then did he realize that he was too reckless and quickly retracted his hand.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I just... thank you so much! How can I repay you?" Chen Zhen stammered.

The only friend he knew was Lu Xiao, who was from a relatively good family, so naturally they couldn't understand his difficulties. Lu Xiao was very happy when he lent him money, but he didn't think of all these twists and turns.

He is a thin-skinned person and has never said that he needs a normal and not tiring job.

Ye Cheng smiled and said, "Don't thank me in a hurry. I haven't even finished my horoscope yet. If you really succeed, just treat me to a meal."

He found out that Chen Zhen actually had a very strong self-esteem and definitely didn’t want to owe him a favor, so he gave him a step up.

It was the first time that Chen Zhen met such a considerate friend. He felt like he was about to burst into tears: "Definitely! Please do it! If you can help me in the future, just ask him for anything."

‌Busy, ‌definitely unavoidable!”

The dishes came one after another. Ye Cheng put a piece of chicken on his plate and said,

"It's really something. I may need your help."

Chen Zhen immediately said: "Say."

Ye Cheng put down his chopsticks, "Can you tell me what happened when you were a freshman in high school? What did Zhang Qi do to you to make you insist on transferring to another school?"

He heard from Jiang Jin that Zhang Qi didn't just beat him up. Chen Zhen seemed fragile, but in fact he was quite upright. If it weren't for some obstacles that he couldn't pass, he wouldn't have transferred to another school.

.

Jiang Jin didn't know why, so he didn't dare to ask Lu Xiao again.

Hearing Zhang Qi's name, Chen Zhen's face visibly drained of color, and he bit his lower lip subconsciously.

Ye Cheng comforted him and said, "Don't be nervous. Those things are over. I didn't mean to expose your scars. I just don't understand why the grudge between Lu Xiao and Zhang Qi is so deep.

Is it related to this ‌‌?"

Seeing Chen Zhen's expression, he knew he was asking the right person.

Chen Zhen remained silent, but the hand holding the chopsticks began to tremble uncontrollably.

Ye Cheng couldn't bear it, but this matter was like a crux. If it was not completely rooted out, Zhang Qi would harm more people.

Until he graduates from high school and leaves campus, there will be countless "Chen Zhens" born in the Third Lieutenant General. He may even continue to behave like this when he enters society in the future.

Jiang Jin said that Lu Xiao was not like this. He only fought to vent his anger on his brothers. He also learned Zhang Qi's bullying style. He gradually turned into the kind of person he hated before. This pair of

Lu Xiao didn’t feel hurt.

Seeing Chen Zhen's mouth tightly closed, Ye Cheng didn't force him anymore.

He wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue and said, "Just two days ago, Lu Xiao was about to fight Zhang Qi again."

Chen Zhen's body trembled, and he raised his eyes to look at him.

"Because Zhang Qi asked someone to secretly take photos of us, and the photos were posted to the forum. The teacher knows about this," Ye Cheng said calmly.

Chen Zhen hurriedly said: "You don't have a ‌, do you? The teacher sent ‌ your ‌‌?"

"No, fortunately he didn't capture the key evidence, which can't prove the relationship between ‌ and Lu Xiao." Ye Cheng said, squinting at his eyes, "But ‌ one is ‌ two, teacher, you can't help but

I have already begun to suspect that if I am photographed again, it is difficult to guarantee that the school will not be affected."

Chen Zhen's eyes ignited with overwhelming anger, and he cursed angrily: "You know this bastard can't change his ways! He has done countless dirty things, and he will be punished one day!"

Ye Cheng said: "Actually, I'm very sorry. I called you out today to say this. I don't want to see Lu Xiao become a person like him. I believe you don't want to have such a result."

"Don't say that," Chen Zhen shook his head desperately, "Lu Xiao wouldn't do that. He is ten thousand times better than that bitch! Zhang Qi should go to hell!"

Ye Cheng looked at him and said: "If you are free, can you help enlighten Lu Xiao? I don't want him to change for the sake of change on the surface, but actually he is unhappy.

"

‌What he said ‌‌ was of no use. Only Chen Zhen can speak for himself.

Chen Zhen is a smart man. He said: "I understand what you mean. I will talk to him."

Ye Cheng held his hand and said sincerely: "Thank you, really."

Chen Zhen lowered his head, an undercurrent surging in his eyes, as if he had secretly made up his mind.

After eating, Ye Cheng called Ma Yao on the way back to school and asked him about tutoring for the children.

He praised Chen Zhen's character. Ma Yao trusted him and immediately said that he could make an appointment for two classes to try the effect.

The school has already rung the lunch break bell.

As soon as Ye Cheng reached the fifth floor, he saw Lu Xiao in the corridor. He was sitting at the table outside like a guard at the door.

Seeing Ye Cheng coming, his expression became strange.

"Have you eaten?" he asked knowingly.

The students in the class were studying a lot and were taking a lunch break. Ye Cheng didn't want to go in and make any noise and disturb others, so she sat down opposite him.

"Well, what about you?" He said calmly.

When Lu Xiao thought about how they were holding hands just now, he couldn't control his temper. "I haven't eaten, I can't eat." He said angrily.

Ye Cheng said nonchalantly: "Oh."

Lu Xiao finally couldn't help but said, "Ye Cheng, do you just like people who are good at both morals and learning?"

"Yes." Ye Cheng answered quickly, almost not pissing him off to death.

"Then why are you and ‌ together?" Lu Xiao gradually lost her mind and asked angrily.

Ye Cheng looked at him and asked, "Why do you think it is?"

"Are you good at both morals and academics? Are you extraordinarily intelligent?"

Lu Xiao clenched her fist tightly and opened her nose slightly.

"If you just like these things, then why are you with me?" Ye Cheng said calmly.

Lu Xiao looked at him in surprise.

Ye Cheng said: "Have you ever thought about our future, where we would raise a dog together in the same city, go to university, and work together, and plant roses in our small garden? Have you ever thought about it?

Is that all? Or is it just a blank check that you promised to go to college?"

Lu Xiao was shocked. He never thought that Ye Cheng would think so much about their future.

He always felt that Ye Cheng was the kind of person who would love very rationally even if he loved someone. He didn't dare to ask for many romantic things.

It's not that he hasn't fantasized about what Ye Cheng said, but he never dares to say it out loud, let alone what Ye Cheng promises him about the future.

"‌..." He felt a lump in his throat and quickly lowered his head.

Ye Cheng sighed: "Those things you promised, which ones do you want to do, and which ones do you feel forced to do? On that "Contract", what do you really want to do?

How many are you willing and able to do?"

Lu Xiao was even more sad, her eyes were slightly red, and her nails dug deeply into her flesh.

The overwhelming guilt and self-blame overwhelmed him, and he couldn't even raise his head and glance at Ye Cheng.

Ye Cheng stood up and said: "Think about it for yourself. I hope that what this relationship brings to us is that we can become better each other, instead of unilaterally giving it to you.

burden."

He turned around and walked into the classroom without any hesitation, leaving Lu Xiao sitting outside alone.

During the entire lunch break, Ye Cheng held his chin and held his little boyfriend.

Lu Xiao maintained the same posture and sat motionless.

He got up and realized that the puppy hook was real. He was thinking and digesting his words carefully. He felt a little relieved.

In the afternoon after that, Lu Xiao was noticeably quieter.

She doesn't take the initiative to talk to him, but when he takes the hot water, he will silently take the cup away. After taking it back without saying a word, he puts it on his table and continues to be autistic.

During evening self-study, even Jiang Jin realized something was wrong.

He sent Ye Cheng a WeChat message: [Brother Xiao, what’s your reply? The king even kneels down?]

This was the story that he could think of that hurt Lu Xiao's confidence the most.

Restrain yourself: [I’m thinking about my faults behind closed doors, so don’t worry about him.]

Jiang Jin: [Ah? Did he make you angry again? 】

After a while, Ye Cheng forwarded to him this year’s art exhibition at the Academy of Fine Arts.

Restrain yourself: [Are your painting skills perfect? ​​Are you sure you will get a ninth grade in art school? If you don’t, don’t be stupid with him.]

Jiang Jin:【……】

He thought to himself, it was probably because Ye Cheng had caught Zhou Kai's attention, so he could only tremble and said: [‌明‌‌, Brother Cheng.]

Ye Cheng understood the psychology of this group of people very well. It was the same as a gangster helping a man hide his wife. Not only Jiang Jin, but also those on the basketball team urgently needed to receive some ideological education.

After the evening self-study get out of class, Lu Xiao sent him home.

It was said that they were being sent home, but that was not entirely true. The two of them had no communication during the whole journey on the subway, and there were several people separated in between.

After leaving the subway station, Lu Xiao walked him to the door of his house before turning around and leaving.

Gao Qiulan saw ‌ from the window and blamed Ye Cheng for not asking him to come in and sit down.

She said casually: "Yes, your dad will be back in a few days."

Ye Cheng, who had not searched for hot topics for a while, asked: "Qu Tian found him?"

Gao Qiulan lowered her voice and said: "We didn't find it, but your dad was ruthless enough and reported it to the police directly. We are currently investigating this matter thoroughly, and the man who pulled the strings has been arrested. Qu Tian

‌‌89‌Can’t escape.”

Ye Cheng said: "Does Ye Qiaoqiao know?"

Gao Qiulan coughed: "I just found out today. I cried all day long. Why don't you go to her on Saturday?"

"You don't have to wait for Saturday. Let's take a day off from studying tomorrow night." Ye Cheng said.

At noon the next day, math class was changed to Thursday's physical education class.

Everyone was very happy at first, but when they heard the news about other classes, they immediately started to line up and talk about it.

"Have you heard that Zhang Qi seems to have been expelled from school?"

"‌Shit, what's wrong? He's the king and hegemony‌, not just for one or two days, but he can still be expelled from school?"

"‌‌ I heard it from someone in their class. Zhang Qi was called to the principal's office. The person at the door heard what the video was about."

Lu Xiao and Jiang went in to get the equipment. Ye Cheng stood in the queue, and the more he heard, the more something was wrong.

"What video?" he asked.

Yu Kun said: "I don't know what it is exactly. They said it can't be passed on. Maybe it was Zhang Qi who did something ugly. I thought they came to the principal and said he didn't want to deal with it.

‌Make love worse."
