Chapter 7, the sun is shining brightly

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Although Yi Tianxing was quite unaccustomed to having a pair of large hands on his head, and even less so to the sudden gentleness of the school delinquents who acted like the director, he still felt a sense of gratitude in his heart and smiled as he said: "That night, I went scavenging and happened to encounter a few people stealing aluminum ingots from the state-owned No. 2 factory. Of course, I didn't dare to intervene; it was just that one person came to hit me, and then a commotion ensued."

Yi Tianxing sighed and said, "To be honest, what if I were a monster?"

With a mind full of confusion, Yi Tianxing followed the two individuals slowly up to the fourth floor of the teaching building. The fourth floor only had a half-galley and was relatively dim, often serving as a sanctuary for senior male students to smoke and chat. However, this break was peculiar; the usually bustling fourth floor was exceptionally quiet, with only one person half-squatting inside. That person held a cigarette between their middle and index fingers, the tip glowing red.

Yitianxing always wore a harmless smile on his face

The two fellows called Yitianxing up and pushed him, saying: "Brother Wei wants you to sit."

Zou Leilei frowned, glanced at him, and said irritably: "Whatever."

The two exchanged a hearty laugh as they looked at each other. At the moment of parting, He Wei tugged at his blue khaki shirt, frowned, and said: "It's all faded, you should change it. Don't try to fool me by saying you're poor and scavenging; I know those few old men from hetushu.com who are rolling in wealth.

Zou Leilei smiled again, revealing her white teeth, and sweetly said: "You are originally a monstrous genius."

Oh? He Wei exclaimed again, seemingly intrigued, and said: "I heard that the guy who suffered a loss is quite skilled. How did you manage to defeat him?"

Zou Leilei smiled and said, "Why should one fear what others say about their own abilities?"

Yi Tianxing frowned, thinking to himself that no matter what, he had no connection with people in the underworld, so why would that so-called Wei Ge come looking for him

He Wei spat a few curses and said: "I know you guys look down on us who are struggling. We are all classmates, yet you still engage in occupational discrimination. Nonsense, get lost. If you end up getting beaten to death later, don't blame me."

Returning to the classroom downstairs, the classmates saw him unscathed, without a trace of injury, and they all gathered around to express their concern or surprise. Only that Hu Yun sat coldly in the front, and in Yi Tianxing's peripheral vision, he noticed a hint of disdain at the corner of his lips, which inevitably left him somewhat puzzled and confused.

In fact, there is no particular reason; it is just that every Saturday, when riding home with Zou Leilei, the oleanders gradually blooming by the riverside always infuse the sunlight that bathes the two of us with a hint of delicate fragrance

Yi Tianxing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and quickly said: "As a mere scavenger, it is not my place to discriminate against you in this line of work."

Zou Leilei was blocked outside by someone. In a moment of panic, she grabbed the collars of several classmates and forcefully carved out a path, rushing to him and asking with concern: "Are you okay?"

It was only then that Yi Tianxing realized the misunderstanding and smiled as he offered an apology

Yitianxing encountered a dilemma, how could he express it? After pondering for a long time, he slowly said: "I have endured hardships since childhood, which is why I have a bit more strength."

Yi Tianxing苦笑着说:"Is Wei Ge planning to educate me on behalf of outsiders?"

After much effort to control his strength, he only used 10% of his power, gradually allowing He Wei to win in a seemingly intense arm-wrestling competition. Yi Tianxing let out a sigh of relief, stood up, and smiled somewhat shyly.

Yi Tianxing smiled silently, turning to glance at the river by the roadside shimmering under the glow of the setting sun

Unlike He Wei, he is the child of a state-owned forklift factory in a county town, and he has no notable connections. He is not skilled in other areas, but he excels in fighting. In his first year of high school, he was cornered by five people by the river, and he managed to take on all five, resulting in three broken ribs for himself, while three of the opponents were also left incapacitated. This fight established his reputation. It is said that he occasionally listens to rock music. When others ask him why he listens to Black Panther, he replies: "Rock is good; it won't injure people, and it satisfies my cravings."

Wei Ge, specifically He Wei from Class Two. It is said that he has connections with people from society, thus becoming a prominent figure in the county, one of the two most formidable students. The other is Hu Yun, a classmate of Yi Tianxing. Hu Yun's father is the chief of the police station at the bus station, and people in the underworld generally give him some face. Coupled with his sociable nature, he has also made a name for himself.

He Wei is tall and strong, yet his waist is not thick, which makes his shoulders appear particularly broad. It is evident that he is skilled in fighting. Seeing Yi Tianxing so calm, as if he were in the classroom, he couldn't help but be surprised by his composure. After staring at him for a while, he suddenly said: "Indeed, he has guts; no wonder he dares to provoke people from the outside world."

This extremely simple sentence left Yi Tianxing somewhat stunned; as he pedaled beneath him, he pondered over various matters, and after a long while, he finally uttered a phrase.

What if that ability is somewhat frightening

Yi Tianxing could not have anticipated that such a response would lead to this outcome. He still wished to evade responsibility, but he noticed that that student He had already rolled up his sleeves to the elbows, eagerly half-leaning on the ground, poised and ready.

"Sit down," the man said

"Damn it!" He Wei suddenly erupted in anger, "What do you take me for, kid! Don't think I'm like that coward Hu Yun from your class. I've been through thick and thin and have never stooped to bullying my own classmates!"

"This is like a picture book, you will follow me from now on." He Wei suddenly became serious, but the seventeen-year-old young man struck a pose reminiscent of a Hong Kong triad leader, making Yi Tianxing feel quite uncomfortable.

Yi Tianxing smiled, then patted his backside and sat down right in front of He Wei

Follow me to inform Xue San'er, and that will be all.

Yi Tianxing replied with a smile: "Those old fellows pick up dead pigs every day to render lard, and what they produce is nothing but rancid oil"

He Wei stood up and, like a leader showing concern for a child, patted or stroked the top of his head a couple of times, saying: "I received a message from a friend, saying that a subordinate of Xue San'er from the western part of the city was beaten by a young man who collects scrap. Later, it was found out that the guy is from our school. I thought about it, and no matter how you look at it, our school is still a key high school, and you are the only one who has fallen to the point of collecting scrap. So I called you here to let you know to be more careful these days."

"It's nothing." Yi Tianxing said with a smile, looking into her clear eyes

In the memories of Yitianxing, the sunlight of 1994 was of an extraordinarily brilliant kind

He Wei couldn't help but smile widely upon hearing this, and quickly called out: "Come, come, come, I am someone who enjoys comparing strength with others, so let's have an arm wrestling match."

"Oh? What do you know about it?" He Wei asked, biting on his cigarette.

Yi Tianxing glanced at Zou and the classmate Tushulei's straight nose and the soft bangs on her forehead, feeling somewhat distracted. It took him a long time to recall that matter.

Upon hearing this, Yi Tianxing finally understood what was going on. It must have been the aftermath of dealing with that little rogue the other night, and he couldn't help but smile wryly as he said, "That matter cannot be blamed on me"

In those years, there was no blue pill like Viagra; mentioning the word "Viagra" in the county would not make a large crowd laugh, but it could certainly scare a large number of people.

He Wei chuckled as he pushed aside the little brother who had been shouting and cheering beside him, patting him on the shoulder and saying, "Kid, your strength is indeed impressive, just a little less than mine."

Yi Tianxing saw him take the initiative to take responsibility for the matter, and finally believed that this guy was indeed an unconventional rogue. Feeling somewhat moved, he politely declined, yet was unaware of how much effort he had expended in persuasion.

He could only let out a bitter laugh in his heart and stepped forward

"One down, one to go." Zou Leilei thought he was joking, so she smiled and replied with a smirk.

Regarding what was discussed at your home that day, I have thought it over and decided against it. He was referring to the matter of Zou Leilei wanting him to achieve high scores

Yi Tianxing is inherently a lovable child who is afraid of women. Upon noticing signs of her temper flaring, he quickly stammered, "I really did well on the exam. I'm afraid it will scare a whole bunch of people. How am I supposed to explain this to others?"
