Chapter 4, Binding Sunglasses and Ascending the Mountain (I)

When I woke up in the morning, the swelling on my face had already diminished significantly, but it was still quite noticeable, and I instantly looked much less attractive.

In fact, that era was like this; at that time, perming hair was quite fashionable, especially dyeing it blonde. In contemporary terms, it might be considered somewhat non-mainstream, but it was different from the particularly non-mainstream styles that became popular around 2006 and 2007. Junior high school students were prohibited from such styles. Generally, those with dyed blonde hair standing at the school gate were mostly high school delinquents or social outcasts, who were relatively prominent in their circles. Regardless of whether they engaged in fights or not, they loved to stand at the school gate, essentially showing off for others to see.

Just as I was looking at her, she was also looking at me. She had a slightly amused expression, trying to hold back a smile, but ultimately she couldn't contain it and smiled a little.

At this moment, Jie's sobbing finally ceased, although she still occasionally let out a few sniffles.

At that moment, Brother Chicken Feather directly slapped Sunglasses Jie hard, the sound of the slap was so loud that even I felt pain. Then Brother Chicken Feather grabbed her hair and dragged her towards a nearby poplar tree, causing Sunglasses Jie to cry out in fear.

After careful consideration, I believe my own abilities are insufficient, and I need to seek assistance from others

At this moment, Jiejie Mo realized that she was in trouble. After saying a few more times that the person was really not the one she had found, seeing that she could not persuade us at all, she could only start shouting, "Help! It's a robbery!"

At this moment, I have a bad feeling because Wang Ping is my classmate. I know him and trust him to some extent, but this person seems to be the kind who is rather unreliable. What if he makes a big deal out of things when we go up the mountain?

Wang Ping said, "Go ahead, say what you want. How do you intend to deal with her"

After spending a long time with the *picture* book, most of the students at the school had left, and the group of troublemaker students began to disperse. At this moment, Mo Jingjie approached, and Wang Ping remarked that this was better, as there were no students around, making it easier to take action.

Returning to the main topic, Wang Ping asked me if there was anything he could help with. I told him about the trouble that Jielao was causing me, mentioning a few instances where she had sought people to confront me. After listening, Wang Ping laughed at me, saying: "You were quite impressive in elementary school, and now a woman has stirred up such a fuss over you"

The first person that came to mind was Wang Ping. Wang Ping was my classmate in elementary school, and we were quite close at that time. He had already repeated two grades, making him two years older than us, and he consistently ranked last in his studies, clearly not suited for academics. His family ran a recycling station, and after graduating from elementary school, he did not continue his education but instead helped his father manage the recycling business. I thought that if I asked him, he would definitely help, and moreover, his family owned a motorcycle, which could take us up the mountain.

When she came over, I was still hiding behind Wang Ping, afraid that she would see me. After she left, Wang Ping and Brother Ji Mao started the motorcycle and slowly followed behind.

I said, let's just forget it; if others call the police, it would be troublesome. Wang Ping agreed, and we arranged that he would wait for me at the school gate after the previous class ended. Just before leaving, I reminded Wang Ping: By the way, make sure to clean one of your beer bottles.

Wang Ping was momentarily taken aback, clearly not understanding at first, but soon he pointed at me and said: You rascal, still as lecherous as ever

In the afternoon, when I went to school, I lost my focus on the class. Looking at the girl in sunglasses, I surprisingly felt a bit nervous, while also fantasizing about her and the figure in the book, imagining whether I should touch her after tying her up on the mountain.

He asked me why I came to find him instead of going to class

Her sudden shout startled me, because although there were few people on this road, it did not mean there was no one around. Two girls were walking this way, and upon seeing us, they immediately turned around and walked back. They probably thought we were robbers.

After school, the students gradually came out. Mo Jingjie appeared later, but she was not in a hurry to go home as she pushed her bicycle. Instead, she went to the school gate to chat with a group of third-year students.

This time I was much smarter; I checked the seat in front of me before sitting down, and only after I felt it was fine did I take my seat. At that moment, Jing, wearing sunglasses, deliberately said: "Alas, some people may really be too cheap, getting beaten up every day, and each time it’s worse than the last"

Jī Máo Gē asked her if she was still being called. Mò Jìng Jié shook her head, indicating that she was no longer being called

However, the situation has come to this point, what else can I do? Anyway, when I left home this morning, I brought a spring knife with me. If something happens, I will make a fuss about it.

Later, when they arrived near a flooring factory and there were fewer people around, Brother Chicken Feather accelerated, rode ahead of Sunglasses Jie, and veered to the roadside. She called out once and then was forced to stop.

Because I do not have a mobile phone, I can only go to his house to find him during the lunch break after school.

I know she is deliberately provoking me, but today I have decided to endure it and let you gloat for now

Wang Ping, with a swagger, tossed his hair and said: "I've been in the social scene for over half a year now; how can I not smoke? In a couple of days, I plan to perm my hair and dye it blonde. When that happens, just standing at the entrance of your school, how many young girls will rush to me?

On the day when there was one class left before school ended, I took leave and left the school. I was a bit surprised when I saw Wang Ping, as he was not alone; he was accompanied by someone slightly older, who appeared to be around eighteen or nineteen years old. From his attire, he seemed to be someone involved in the underworld.

I greeted them, then turned my gaze towards Jingjie, curious to see if she would show any signs of guilt for having someone beat me up like this.

At that time, it was still popular for men to have long hair, typically styled in a shag or a long center part. I thought it looked quite handsome back then, but now it seems a bit effeminate.

I said with a cold smile: Do you regret it now? It's too late; today I must deal with you. Always causing trouble for me, just wait for your end!

After school at noon, I hurriedly went to Wang Ping's house

Perhaps I was relatively quiet all morning, and Jingjie turned her face to look at me out of curiosity several times. A few times, I noticed her opening her mouth as if she had something to say to me, but she never spoke.

As I turned around, I noticed two girls sneaking glances at me. The moment they saw me turn back, they quickly turned away and walked off in another direction

I spoke up, saying that there was a small matter and I hoped you could help. Wang Ping asked what the matter was and encouraged me to speak. He assured me that he would definitely help with anything he could do, all while handing me a cigarette.

When I arrived in the classroom, it was still filled with exclamations. I understood that they were astonished by my face. A few boys who were close to me joked from the back, saying: "Lei Lei, what happened to you? You change your appearance every day. When you come back on Monday, will you have yet another new look?"

Fortunately, Wang Ping was at home; he was organizing beer bottles at that time. When he saw me come to find him, he was quite happy

Sunglasses Jie asked: What do you want to do? I am a student and have no money! It seems she took it as a robbery.

However, I suddenly felt that the beer bottle was a bit too large. At that time, there was a type of soda from Jiang Factory that cost 0.5 yuan per bottle, which was one size smaller than the beer bottle. I suggested to Wang Ping that we should use that instead

When she turned around and saw me, she finally understood. There was a hint of anger in her eyes as she pointed at me and said: "Lei Zhen, what do you want? You, a grown man, treating a woman like this, aren't you ashamed? And you even called two people!"

After Wang Ping finished speaking, I smiled and said, "That is indeed the case"

After listening to the conversation, Jie's brows furrowed even more, and she said: Nonsense, I didn't look for anyone yesterday

Wang Ping asked me what to do, and I said to wait a moment

Wang Ping looked at me with a mischievous smile and said, "What are we going to do then?"

How can I get her to the mountain? Even if I threaten her with a spring knife, she might not obediently go with me to the mountain. Moreover, how do I get there? Should I ride in a vehicle with her?

Although they say I often get beaten up, at that time I still felt quite proud inside, secretly thinking that I seemed to have gained a bit of notoriety at school

At that moment, I wanted to shout at him, "Don't hit her too hard, after all, she is a woman," but the words were on the tip of my tongue and I couldn't bring myself to say them

Later, the three of us lay in ambush at the intersection near the school, waiting for Jingjie in sunglasses to finish her classes. Since Jingjie had few good friends in class, she usually went home alone. Even if there were others from different classes walking with her, it was likely that she would often find herself alone. That would be the moment for us to act.

At this moment, I certainly do not believe what Jiejie is saying; I think she is saying this out of fear.

I told her I am definitely not afraid, and even slapped her twice. However, she has strong backing, and hetushucom.com even hired people from the society. At over twenty years old, they ambushed me. Just look at my face; it is a result of their disturbance.

I said that I do not smoke, and then asked him when he started smoking, as I remember he didn't smoke in elementary school

On the way to school, many people looked at me, especially when I entered the campus. Regardless of whether they were first, second, or third-year students, they all stared at me. Later, I even heard someone whispering behind me, saying: "Isn't that Lei Zhen from the first year? He often gets beaten up"

Wang Ping said it doesn't matter, each can take one, and we will see which one to use later

Jī Máo Gē clearly regarded me as a child; after he simply nodded at me, he went off to smoke by himself. It was evident that he had no intention of engaging with me, which left me feeling somewhat displeased

Wang Ping later introduced someone to me, saying that this person is called Brother Ji Mao. He met him while collecting recyclables and he is doing quite well in the sports industry

At this moment, I feel somewhat embarrassed to speak. I did not initially suggest using a beer bottle to trouble her; I merely proposed that we take her to Nanshan and scare her a little, so that she would be afraid and would not dare to cause me trouble in the future

At that moment, I thought to make you laugh and see if you could still smile this afternoon

Jimao Ge dragged her to the poplar tree, grabbed her hair, and slammed her head against the trunk twice. Those two hits were not light, and Mo Jingjie cried even harder. At that moment, Jimao Ge shouted at her, saying: Stop your damn crying!

The next day is Saturday, and we will also have a holiday that afternoon. My plan is to abduct her on her way home after the holiday in the afternoon, but there are many issues involved in this.

At this moment, I also do not intend to continue pretending with her, so I said: Stop talking nonsense, when you sent someone to beat me yesterday, did you not feel ashamed? Just look at how you embarrassed me.
