Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 17 Quit smoking
These two people have committed some crimes themselves and are being pursued by the police.

Today I encountered Xie Bingran, Xu Chen and others, but I was subdued and then sent to the police station.

From this perspective, Xie Bingran, Xu Chen and others did make "meritorious contributions" by helping the police catch the two people they were pursuing.

The act of "kidnapping" Xie Bingran itself is enough to convict them.

……

At about nine o'clock in the evening, Xie Bingran finally finished the questioning and walked out with his hands in his pockets.

The female police officer came out with them.

Seeing "Brother Bing" coming out, Li Rui and a group of younger brothers immediately stood up.

But this was the police station after all, so they didn't shout "Brother Bing" loudly, but just gathered around naturally.

The director of the Political and Educational Department stood up:
"It's a blessing that nothing happened today, but you still need to reflect deeply..."

He also gave a long speech of "teaching" and expressed his gratitude to the police comrades in a thoughtful manner.

The female police officer came over and took out two cards.

"This is a police-civilian contact card. It has my phone number on it. If you have any questions, you can contact me directly."

She gave the two cards to Xie Bingran and her class teacher Huang Aiying respectively.

Xu Chen thought about it, then smiled and said:

"Comrade police officer, can you give me one?"

The female police officer smiled and said, "Of course."

The female police officer accompanied Xie Bingran throughout the inquiry and naturally knew Xu Chen's role in this incident.

She pulled out a card and handed it over with a smile.

Xu Chen took it with both hands and looked down:
Police officer in the jurisdiction: Chen Xinlan.

With mobile phone number.

Xu Chen: "Thank you, Officer Chen!"

……

The police station was not far from the school. A group of students followed three teachers and walked towards the school.

The three teachers walked in the front, Xu Chen and Xie Bingran walked shoulder to shoulder, and Li Rui and the other younger brothers followed behind.

Li Rui licked his lips. He was craving for a cigarette, so he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and distributed them to the brothers around him.

The three teachers heard the noise, looked back, and looked unhappy.

Li Rui laughed twice and took two steps forward:
"Teacher, you smoke."

As he said this, he handed the cigarette in his hand over.

The head teacher Huang Aiying showed an angry look and was about to criticize, but she found that the director of the political education department and Zhang Liqun each took out a cigarette and put it in their mouths.

Huang Aiying looked incredulous and glared at the two male teachers.

The director of the Political and Educational Department was a little embarrassed, and pretended to be serious, and whispered:

"Don't do it again! You must put out the cigarette before returning to school!"

Li Rui laughed twice, made a serious promise, then took out a lighter and lit cigarettes for the two teachers.

Huang Aiying rolled her eyes with a look of disgust.

……

Xu Chen couldn't help but smile. This classmate Li Rui was a man of both intelligence and physical agility.

In fact, judging from a series of events today, although Li Rui seems impulsive, he is actually very reliable.

Xu Chen couldn't help but think that Li Rui might be a useful talent.

My father’s business might need someone like this in the future.

He has the fierce image of a "thug", but he is actually flexible and agile in nature.

Li Rui is about to graduate from high school, and his grades are probably not that good. If Li Rui cannot get into a good university, you can indeed pay more attention to him.

My father does business in a county town, and he may encounter anything. If there is a person like this in the company, he may be able to solve many potential troubles invisibly...

Li Rui had no idea what Xu Chen was thinking and quietly stepped back.

"Brother Bing, smoke!"

He stretched out his hand and handed half a pack of cigarettes to Xie Bingran.

Xie Bingran reached out and took a cigarette. Just as she was about to put it in her mouth, she suddenly remembered something and put the cigarette back into Li Rui's cigarette box.

"Stop doing."

Li Rui: “???!”

Li Rui and a group of younger brothers looked at each other in disbelief.

Brother Bing, you actually quit smoking?!
You know, in this small group of theirs, quite a few people learned to smoke from Brother Bing...

Xu Chen turned his head to look at Xie Bingran and smiled happily.

Li Rui handed the cigarette to Xu Chen again:

"Brother Chen, smoke!"

Xu Chen waved his hand calmly: "No." In fact, in his previous life, Xu Chen was a heavy smoker, smoking at least a pack a day.

After the age of thirty-five, my health began to deteriorate.

Even a minor cold will cause a persistent cough.

If I were to live my life again, I'd better quit smoking in advance...

Fifteen minutes later, led by three teachers, everyone staggered back to school.

It was only around nine o'clock, and the boarding students still had an hour of evening self-study time.

Go back to each class.

Only then did Xu Chen realize that these "little brothers" of Xie Bingran were also boarding students, and most of them were admitted from the local towns and villages.

Xu Chen followed the head teacher Zhang Liqun all the way back to the door of Class 5.

Just as Xu Chen was about to turn around and enter the classroom, he was stopped by Zhang Liqun.

"I need to talk to you again."

Zhang Liqun stood with his hands behind his back, looking serious.

Xu Chen curled his lips, but stood still obediently.

Zhang Liqun adjusted his brown glasses, cleared his throat, and began to "teach" slowly.

It's all old stuff.

Xu Chen let it go in one ear and out the other, not taking it to heart at all.

But he still nodded from time to time and joined in a few comments, which showed that he was very considerate.

Although her body was facing Zhang Liqun, the direction of her toes showed her inner desire to escape.

Fifteen minutes later, Zhang Liqun seemed to be exhausted from talking, so he made his final "closing statement".

Xu Chen yawned with his mouth closed and almost fell asleep.

Zhang Liqun cleared his throat and added:

"Next week, there will be a mock exam. This is a real-life simulation before the college entrance exam. You should prepare carefully and see your true level.

I still have high hopes for you.

I will also help you decide which school to apply for when the time comes."

Xu Chen nodded seriously but cursed in his heart.

Bullshit advisor!

In my previous life, I was advised by you, which resulted in me only being able to go to a second-tier university.

I have been cheated so badly by this bald donkey, how could I be fooled a second time?

Of course, Xu Chen did not show his inner dissatisfaction. He still looked well-behaved and listened seriously to the teacher's instructions.

However, this mock exam does need to be taken seriously.

Whether you can still function normally after rebirth still needs actual testing.

The head teacher finally finished his rambling, and Xu Chen's legs were already weak from standing.

As if he had been pardoned, he turned around and went back into the classroom and returned to his seat.

When his deskmate Chen Dahai saw Xu Chen, he looked gossipy:
"Where did Master Xu go? Did he get into trouble? Why did the head teacher scold him for so long? What did he say to you? Didn't you have dinner with Brother Bing? What did you talk about? Have you decided whose surname the child will have..."

Facing Chen Dahai's "Blue Cat's Three Thousand Naughty Questions", Xu Chen simply replied:
"Don't inquire about social affairs."

Chen Dahai: “…”

Small eyes, big doubts.

……

……

At 10 o'clock in the evening, before the lights in the classroom were turned off, Xu Chen put down his exercise book and walked out of the classroom.

But he ran into Li Rui who was waiting outside the door.

"Brother Chen, Brother Bing wants to see you." Li Rui said.

"Now? Where?"

"Brother Bing is waiting for you at the playground. Brother Chen, I'll take you there."

Xu Chen nodded and followed Li Rui downstairs.

I walked through the campus under the cover of night and headed towards the playground.

Li Rui laughed it off and took the initiative to chat about random things.

"I just found out that Brother Chen and Brother Bing went to the same junior high school."

Xu Chen smiled and briefly introduced his and Xie Bingran’s past as “deskmates”.

He couldn't help but ask:
"How did you and Xie Bingran get together?"

Seeing that there were no teachers around, Li Rui put a cigarette in his mouth, took a deep puff and said:
"We were poor kids from the countryside and were always looked down upon and bullied. It was Brother Bing who helped us out.

After following Brother Bing, no one dares to bully us anymore..."
