Chapter 9

"I just want to eat meat pie," Huo Ran swallowed hard, "There is no more braised pork, so I only have meat pie left... I smell that today's meat pie is particularly reminiscent of the one my mother made..."

Hu Yi smiled, took a bite of bread, chewed slowly for a while before saying, "My dad is getting a divorce"

"Is there anything we can help you with?" Xu Zhifan said, "What do you want to do with a knife? You can be spotted just walking from the school gate to the dormitory, and you still want to attack someone?"

When he was in middle school, some of his classmates' parents were getting divorced. He went to persuade his classmate, and by the end of it, he somehow ended up going with his classmate to his classmate's father's shop to teach that scoundrel a lesson

After a few seconds, Hu Yi opened his eyes and sat up: "Thank you"

Huo Ran and Jiang Lei turned their heads in surprise together

"Even if I let her eat, she won't eat," said Kou Chen

Put on your clothes! The aunt was indifferent to this cute term of endearment used by her niece.

You," Kou Chen looked at the girl next to him, who was so flustered and nervous that her head was almost lowered enough to pick something off the ground, and pointed to the chair beside him, "Sit here.

Is it pushed by Li Jiaying? Xu Zhifan asked

"First, get the food." Kou Chen stood up again and walked towards the table where the trays were placed, as the onlookers made way for him and gradually dispersed.

Finally, a bundle was abruptly thrown onto the table in front of Huo Ran

My grandmother ... ... No, that scumbag's mother, " Hu Yi took another bite of the bread, " protecting those two scoundrels.

Kou Chen smiled; Huo Ran had quite a temper and could be quite cheeky at times. However, Xu Zhifan and the others were always able to hang out with him and looked out for him, which couldn't solely be attributed to his cute appearance

"Are you out of your mind?" Huo Ran said, "Isn't it enough to just use laser treatment?"

Several people were taken aback

Huo Ran looked the most like a little pitiful child. Jiang Lei glanced at Huo Ran's back and stretched the plate towards the window, saying, "Auntie, give me a meat pie."

I saw half of the Grim Reaper with outstretched arms holding a scythe

However, although what Hu Yi brought back was not a kitchen knife, in terms of shape, it is very similar to a kitchen knife

The cafeteria is quite crowded at the moment, but the table they previously occupied has remained unoccupied. Kou Chen has taken up eight seats with a piece of his school uniform stained with sauce.

"Hurry up," Kou Chen said in a low voice as he extended his phone, "I am on a video call with my sister."

However, the topic quickly returned to Ke Hua and that girl

"Can it be trusted?" Xu Zhifan asked softly

"Buy a little more," he said, "What if we don't have enough to eat? I don't even know if I'm sick. If Hu Yi doesn't come to evening self-study later, please help me ask for leave. I can't stand him. Whenever he says why, that's when it will be over.

Huo Ran is very admirable

"What knife?" Hu Yi's retort was somewhat hesitant

"It goes smoothly when eating noodles," Hu Yimun replied in a muffled voice

I... I am not sick. Hu Yi took the bread and opened it

He wiped his face and tossed Kou Chen's clothes aside

After imagining the appearance of that half of the Grim Reaper in his pants, Huo Ran came to his senses and exclaimed.

"Damn, it really is her," Jiang Lei said

The performance of the onlookers is very professional

Based on my years of experience with noodles, Jiang Lei stepped forward and snatched it away, gesturing with it in his hand, "This is the knife used for making knife-cut noodles, isn't it?"

The people surrounding looked over.

He Hua smiled slightly at the corners of his mouth

As a few people sat down and opened their drinks, it felt somewhat like the exhilaration following a brawl

Alright, a long-haired girl appeared on the screen, "Where is she? Let me see the little cutie you mentioned."

"Is that a tattoo sticker?" Jiang Lei asked

Jiang Lei clapped his hands and said, "That's it, Li Jiaying won't let her eat"

As there were no other tables available, Huo Ran ultimately sat back down opposite Kou Chen.

Master Xu should be able to persuade him, "When entering the classroom, Jiang Lei was still mumbling beside me, 'Besides, Hu Yi is not a child anymore... However, if we are going to take action, I think it would be acceptable to give his father a beating first.'

At this moment, low murmurs began to arise from the crowd, all pointing towards Kou Chen.

"Why are you being so careless?" Ke Hua said with a frown, "You got their clothes dirty."

PIA

Kou Chen, covered in vegetable juice, actually smelled quite good. Huo Ran suddenly felt his stomach rumble; he could even smell the juice from the meat pie on Kou Chen, the oil from the hand-torn cabbage, and some bits of pickled vegetables.

Xu Zhifan clicked his tongue and said: "Don't mention Kou Chen anymore, there is no stance."

"No matter what knife it is!" Huo Ran became anxious, "Take it out! What if you sleepwalk tonight and we don't survive? We are all quite delicate, and our heads are not resistant to being chopped!"

"Is there a mistress?" Jiang Lei was the first to react.

Kou Chen showed no reaction to this somewhat awkward situation and turned his head to say again: "Eat."

"Bring back the kitchen knife today," Xu Zhifan said

I will cut in for a moment, mainly to see if I look good on camera, paying attention to my image. Kou Chen switched the scene back over there, "Sister, sister, the beautiful girl, Huo Ran has arrived, let him see if the equipment you chose is correct."

After these words were spoken, they all fell silent

"No need," he said, "you ... ..."

Xu Zhifan let out a sigh

"Stop your nonsense," Kou Chen said, "I spent an entire day working on this, and for what? It's been almost a year, and every time I make a mistake, my dad punishes me.

The girl lowered her head and remained silent

Thank you, the girl's voice is still almost inaudible, let me help you wash your clothes

Huo Ran gave up on the braised pork. Xu Zhifan knew that he really wanted to eat it, but he refrained because Kou Chen was there. By the time Kou Chen finished and left, the braised pork was already gone

Kou Chen turned his head and saw the girl who was looking down.

Thank you she said very softly and turned to run out of the cafeteria

Kehua let out a cold laugh

Then swiftly turned to observe the situation of the battle

"First, let's eat," Xu Zhifan said, "After a while, you all can go study on your own, and I will chat with Hu for a bit."

Hmm. Xu Zhifan nodded.

"Go in!" Kou Chen suddenly glared, shouting in a suppressed voice, his face full of ferocity

Only after speaking did I suddenly remember that Xu Zhifan was in the dormitory

By the time I wanted to ask her something else, she had already run away

Did you see it too?" Huo Ran asked

Xu Zhifan smiled as he extended the plate: "A meat pie, thank you"

When I walked out of the cafeteria after finishing my meal, those from the science department had already left

Before the camping trip ended, Kou Chen said nonchalantly, "You are my granduncle, my father, my uncle, my maternal uncle..."

Huo Ran pulled him to the door: "Kou Chen said he brought back a kitchen knife"

Huo Ran was unaware of what she wanted to say, so he stood up and turned to leave

When everyone saw this piece of iron, they were quite shocked

What are you doing? he asked

He suddenly twisted his wrist, but could not break free.

"Are you eating sausages in the haunted building?" Wei Chaoren suddenly asked the question that everyone wanted to know but felt embarrassed to ask and didn't know how to bring it up.

I feel that you are about to die from illness" said Huo Ran

What is wrong with that old woman!" Jiang Lei shouted

"Oh, enough already, don't say anything more," the aunt whispered, quickly pouring two bowls of steamed meat patties into his plate. "Eat up, don't let others see it, or they'll all come asking me for some soon."

He Hua slowly raised her head and after a while responded with a soft, "Mm."

What a pretentious plot from an idol drama

Hu Yi, it's time to eat!" Huo Ran walked over and patted Hu Yi, "Let's eat first and then sleep.

Huo Ran remained silent, gazing at the empty table before him

"Let's eat." Kou Chen adjusted his pants and turned to sit opposite Huo Ran

Kou Chen cleared his throat at the beginning

"It seems we will have to roast again tonight," Huo Ran said, "Didn’t we just fail to have a meal? The food is all on Kou Chen."

"Have you ever gotten into a fight with someone?" Huo Ran couldn't help but ask.

"Hey," Jiang Lei nudged Huo Ran with his arm, "look at his lower back."

Fortunately, there are still meat pies available

Huo Ran cupped his fists in greeting to him, and for the first time, he truly experienced the feeling of being unable to get angry

"Come in." Kou Chen, sitting in Xu Zhifan's seat, tilted the chair forward and looked at him

Thank you, sister. Huo Ran turned around happily, holding the tray.

"It's just about finding fault, using someone who is used to being bullied as a tool," Wei Chaoren said, "However, I just thought that Kouer was about to take action."

I apologize! It is somewhat embarrassing for Kehua to neither advance nor retreat, and he raised his voice to say it again

"... ... makes sense." Xu Zhifan nodded, as Huo Ran's logic had always been strong, and he had become accustomed to it

"What are you doing?" Kou Chen said while eating, "Am I supposed to make the first move with a woman? Isn't that embarrassing?"

"Do I need to use a compass to measure while I steam it?" the aunt said, "Next! Hurry up!"

Because of this Grim Reaper, Kehua is going to be punished today

"What identity, a branch of the underworld?" Huo Ran said

Hu Yi!" Huo Ran looked at him, "You actually resorted to stealing in order to commit murder?

"There is no need to say it again," Kou Chen said, still looking at Ke Hua. He reached out and took the plate from the girl's hand, handing it back and said, "Make another one."

"Damn it." Huo Ran frowned and cursed.

Kou Chen and Ke Hua are still at a standstill, after all, it was not Ke Hua who splashed vegetable juice all over Kou Chen; Ke Hua is almost one meter away from this girl

Kou Chen suddenly raised his hand, and in an instant, before anyone could clearly see, he single-handedly took off his T-shirt. The shirt spun half a circle in the air, brushing against Ke Hua's face as it passed.

Where did you get this from? Xu Zhifan also took the knife and looked at it; surprisingly, this knife was not even new.

This facade is indeed very well constructed

Hu Yi remained silent, unsure whether he had not grasped the main point of Huo Ran's statement

Huo Ran suddenly felt a bit awkward and, gritting his teeth, squeezed past him to sit down in his own seat: "Why do you have to say it like that?"

He walked over to his position, nudged Xu Zhifan, and said, "Let me in"

Running very fast, Kou Chen felt that he could catch up with Huo Ran's speed

"Go ahead." Huo Ran said

I lost. Kou Chen did not hesitate at all

"It's dirty," Kou Chen said, "Hurry, Auntie, give me two portions of braised pork."

You ... ... " she raised her chin slightly towards Huo Ran

In fact, after a long pause, Hu Yi finally sighed and said, "It's not a kitchen knife either"

Therefore, although he does not want to get involved in Koucheng's matters, he can only wait

The inexplicable stubbornness of this young man caused him to miss out on braised pork

"If it were me, I wouldn't dare to sit next to the Grim Reaper and have a meal," said Huo Ran

Huo Ran glanced at Ke Hua, who was still standing there with her few "girlfriends," wearing a cold smile.

Hu Yi was lying in the dormitory and did not open his eyes when he heard a few of them come in

"No need, no need..." After a moment of surprise, the girl, who had been anxiously keeping her head down, finally lifted it up and said, "No..."

Huo Ran bought a bread for Hu Yi at the convenience store. After walking out, he returned and bought another bread and a box of milk. After coming out again, he thought for a moment and went back, and when he came out this time, he had a bag of spicy chicken feet.

Ah? Huo Ran glanced at the screen and saw his own bewildered face. He quickly pushed the phone away and asked, "Are you video chatting with your sister to see yourself?"

Is there braised pork? ... There is some at noon, but I don't know if there will be any left in the evening ... ... Should I go and grab some first? Dishes like this are usually snatched up quickly ... ...

Jiang Lei looked and said: "Is this half? Why is it a semicircle?"

What are you doing sitting here?" Huoran suddenly turned around, wanting to sit in Kou Chen's seat

The girl stumbled slightly; had it not been for Kou Chen's quick retreat, she would have collided with him.

Hmm. Huo Ran nodded and glanced at Kou Chen's seat, which was empty

Huo Ran cast a glance at Kou Chen's lower back.

"Lotus, huh?" Kou Chen paused for a moment, "Quite good."

"Shut up and get out of here," said Kou Chen

"Are you foolish? Of course, one cannot believe it," Huo Ran said, "but... what if there is a gun?"

She quickly opened her mouth to say ... but was immediately interrupted by Kou Chen

"What flower?" the girl replied

Xu Zhifan walked to the bedside, took a careful look, and pretended to be asleep

Everyone was awkwardly awaiting her response

There is still half in his pants

Huo Ran let out a sigh

Hu Yi raised his head and looked at him

Kou Chen is actually not talking nonsense, he is not bragging, he can really see through it

Kou Chen opened his mouth but could not utter a word

"A person can only have one." The aunt said coldly

Hmm? Huo Ran was taken aback

Sister, please give me two servings of meat pies. " Huo Ran leaned against the food serving window.

Hmm, Hu Yi took a deep gulp of milk, the veins on his neck slightly bulging, "Those dog men and women, my mother refuses to divorce and even hit my mother."

Do you want to give it a try? Kou Chenchong smiled with his teeth bared.

What is your name? Xu Zhifan asked from the side

The outcome led to the father chasing and beating someone down half a street, and ultimately, the classmates' parents still got divorced

When he turned around, he saw Huo Ran quietly opening Hu Yi's drawer, taking a look inside, and then bending down to look under Hu Yi's bed

After walking just a few steps in the direction of the dormitory, someone gently tugged at Kou Chen's clothes from behind

Kou Chen threw the plate inside and pulled off the school uniform jacket from Xu Chuan, putting it on: "Two servings of braised pork."

She lost her voice and hesitated for a moment before stepping aside

Huo Ran exchanged a glance with Xu Zhifan. After this meaningless exchange of glances, he, based on his understanding of Xu Zhifan, inferred that Xu Zhifan would likely have him hold onto Kou Chen, and under no circumstances should he touch the girl.

Huo Ran wishes to talk to Hu Yi, but when it comes to matters of comforting others, especially regarding Hu Yi's current situation, Xu Zhi Fan may be more suitable than him

Hu Yi couldn't help but laugh, but soon the smile faded away. Finally, he took out a folded delivery envelope from under the pillow and pulled out a piece of iron.

He sat down abruptly; at that moment, he and Kou Chen were not two individuals, nor were they two factions; they were Class 1. If he were to rush over to grab food during a conflict, it would be a very unrepresentative display of collective honor.

"What..." Huo Ran suddenly turned to look at Kou Chen

"What kind of outfit is this?" The woman serving the dishes expressed her dissatisfaction with Kou Chen, "Where is your proper clothing?"

"It's really not possible, meat pies, braised pork, these can only be ordered in one portion..." said the lady serving the dishes

When he took the tray to get food, he glanced over at the table; Ke Hua had already walked away and gone to eat at the farthest table.

I estimate that she wouldn't dare to eat no matter who she sits next to," Xu Zhifan said, "Last time I saw her with Li Jiaying, she didn't eat either

"Hey, hey, hey, uncle," Kou Chen said, pulling back on his wrist, "You sit down first, I have something to ask you."

I apologize! Ke Hua reached out and gave her shoulder a push.

I also want a portion, put it on his plate. Xu Chuan sighed and handed over his card.

What is your problem?" Huo Ran raised his chopsticks, as he was still contemplating here

Several people were delighted

The elderly woman placed the meat pie onto his plate with a thud

Is that so? Huo Ran leaned over to take a look, and it seemed to be true.

Xu Zhifan felt a stir in his heart and walked over to his side: "Where is the knife?"

Let's eat these in a little while, and we can also add some braised pork.

Alright. Wei Chaoren immediately took the plate and turned around to get the dishes.

Suddenly and decisively, there is a sensation as if vegetable juice has splashed onto one's face

"Certainly," Xu Chuan said, "At that time, there weren't many people around us. That woman walked with her head down, and if she saw someone here, she would definitely take a detour."

What is it? He made a gesture towards Horan.

"Bread and milk, both sweet. If you find it too rich, there are chicken feet here," Huo Ran said. "The cafeteria can prepare meals for patients; I asked about it today."

"Are you stupid? Didn't I just get beaten up for a whole year for nothing!" Kou Chen said, "Moreover, this is proof of my identity."

"I will kill them sooner or later," Hu Yi said, stuffing half a loaf of bread into his mouth, and he took a long time to swallow it.
