Oh, dear! Fish me again

On a gray street corner, Tang Shu leaned against the brick wall behind her, holding a small mirror in her right hand.

I casually touched my thin, curved eyebrows, and a tall figure finally appeared in the mirror.

She calmly put away the mirror, lowered her head slightly, counted silently to 3, 2, 1, and then turned out rashly.

It hit the young man's thin and strong chest.

"Ugh...it hurts," she cried softly.

"Are you OK?"

A cold male voice came from above her head. Tang Shu covered the lower half of her face and raised her head with tears in her eyes.

"It's okay... I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention..."

The boy in front of him was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his height was estimated to be over 1.8 meters. He was wearing the summer school uniform of the No. 1 Middle School next door.

The white short-sleeved shirt was slightly loose, the black school pants were straight and slender, and the thin casual tie on the chest was loose and swayed slightly in the wind.

He had an androgynous face, gentle eyes, and even the long, soft hair on his forehead made him look gentle.

But the pair of dark eyes were bottomless, and when they were suddenly disturbed like this, a hint of gloom flashed in them that could not be disguised in time.

It’s him, the second male lead of the book and also the big villain in the later period, Zhang Li.

Tang Shu looked up at him, two tears of pain rolling down her eyes.

Zhang Li frowned slightly, "But you don't look okay."

"No...I'll be fine in a minute..."

Tang Shu took a step back embarrassedly, took a look at his school uniform badge, and asked, "Brother is a student nearby, do you know how to get to Lianhua Hutong?"

The young man was patient, but there was already a hint of annoyance in his eyes.

"Lotus Alley? Where exactly?"

"Hmm..." She opened a small advertisement in her hand and took a look. "Sanjian Family Compound."

Zhang Li glanced at the rental advertisement in her hand and said, "That's where I live. Come with me."

"really?"

The girl who had a frown on her face a second ago immediately smiled happily.

She looked up at him, "Thank you, brother~"

Her voice had a soft southern accent and every word she said sounded like a spoiled child.

Zhang Li looked down at her expressionlessly, with only one word in his mind: white.

The girl in front of him tilted her face up, her eyes were red, and the tip of her nose was also red, making her skin look particularly white and tender.

His eyes involuntarily moved downwards. She was wearing a tight halter dress and had a slender figure. She was the kind of beauty that people defined as stunning at first sight.

Zhang Li lowered his eyes, did not respond to the word "brother", and walked straight forward.

Tang Shu curled the corners of her mouth and followed closely.

*

The Sanjian Family Compound is a very old residential area, located at the northernmost part of the dilapidated old city.

The door was wide open, and an old man was sitting at the door, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan.

"arrive."

Zhang Li turned his head slightly and said something to Tang Shu, then quickened his pace and entered the community.

Tang Shu responded and deliberately lingered at the door for a while. When she saw Zhang Li walk across the yard without looking away and arrive at the bottom of the first apartment building on the right, she walked in slowly.

In front of us, there were two or three people standing on the balcony on the third floor. When they saw Zhang Li, one of the women shouted downstairs,

"Sister, brother-in-law! That bastard is back!"

As she shouted, Zhang Li stopped and looked up.

No longer moving forward.

Two women and four or five big men, all in their thirties, ran down the dark stairs quickly.

This group of people surrounded Zhang Li and pulled him around, calling him "bastard" all the time.

"You bastard, were we too gentle and reasonable to you these past two days? I asked you to go transfer the property today, and you dared not come!"

"This house was originally left to me and my sister by our father. Why should we give it to an outsider like you? Either hand over the house or give us... five million!"

"Yes! Five million, not a cent less!"

Zhang Li sneered, "I don't have any money."

"No money? Can you afford to go to No. 1 Middle School without money?"

Zhang Li took a step to the side and said, "This house is legally in my name. If you want it, pay for it."

The burly man behind him spat on the ground, "Damn it, why are you still talking nonsense to me! Grab your weapons and start fighting!"

Four or five big northern men, holding sticks and other tools, shamelessly swung at a high school student.

.....

*

According to the plot of the original book, Zhang Li will be harassed by his adoptive father's daughters and their people today and will be seriously injured.

Tang Shu's eyes flashed, and she pretended to be frightened, standing under the Albizia albizzia tree in the middle of the community.

Behind me, several middle-aged women stood together, gesticulating and talking loudly.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, the two daughters of Old Zhang are here to cause trouble again! Old Zhang has been dead for three or four years, why is there still no peace?"

"That year, Old Zhang died and left his will, leaving the house and money to Xiao Li. Although Xiao Li was adopted, he is legally his son. But Xiao Li is kind-hearted and gave all the money to them. They themselves despised this shabby house, and now they are making trouble again?"

"It's because our neighborhood was recently included in the No. 1 Middle School's school district, and I heard that the last batch of demolition areas in our city is nearby... I came here because I smelled the money!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, they are human too. They can even do that to a child!"

"How about we help call the police?"

"No! I don't want to offend that lunatic..."

...

Tang Shu looked back at the aunties, then looked at the chaos in front of her again.

A group of men and women showed their ugly faces without reservation, pulling and throwing tantrums, and punching each other.

The thin boy didn't fight back, but just pursed his lips and didn't even make a sound.

The fight lasted for half an hour until the security guard couldn't stand it anymore and threatened them with his phone in hand.

"If you don't leave, I'll call the police!"

This group of people only dared to show off their power to the helpless Zhang Li. When they heard that they were going to call the police, they finally stopped with curses.

"You shameless bastard, spit out my dad's house!"

"Don't think that this matter is over. Just wait!"

A few people showed off in the yard of the community and then left in a high-profile manner.

The young man curled up beside the flower bed reached out to hold on to the wall, slowly stood up, and coughed hard with his head down.

Tang Shu ran over quickly and grabbed his arm that was hanging by his side.

*

"Brother, are you okay?"

There was a cut on Zhang Li's eyebrow. He lowered his head and shook his hair. He felt a little dizzy and his eyes were a little blurry.

Suddenly someone ran over, supported him, and spoke with concern and a hint of crying in his voice.

He turned his head in confusion and saw a face as beautiful as a peach.

It was the girl from out of town who had just asked him for directions.

At this moment, she looked up at him with concern, and her beautiful eyes were a little red.

"fine."

Zhang Li withdrew his gaze, pulled back his arm, and slowly walked into the corridor in front.

Behind him, the girl followed hesitantly.

This old and run-down house naturally has no elevator, and even the lights in the corridor are broken.

Zhang Li struggled to go up to the second floor and turned around.

The pretty girl behind him also stopped, stood at the bottom of three steps, looked at him and blinked cautiously.

"Don't follow me." He said coldly.

The unbelievably pretty girl pouted in grievance, turned around and went downstairs.

Zhang Li remained expressionless and continued to go up to the third floor.

Turn left and at the door of the first house, there was a pile of dirty things on the ground.

Zhang Li pursed his lips, took out the key and opened the door.

He reached out and took the broom and shovel behind the door, endured the pain, and carefully cleaned up the pile of things.

*

Ten minutes later, there were several knocks on the door.

Zhang Li had just come out of the bathroom, wearing only a pair of loose sports shorts.

He thought it was the security guard, so he wiped the water dripping from his hair, opened the door casually with his upper body naked.

"ah!"

Outside the door, Tang Shu's face suddenly turned red.

Her gaze stopped at the beautiful and delicate collarbone in front of her, and she glanced down unconsciously.

Following a few drops of water, he suddenly turned his back.

"Feel sorry,"

Zhang Li finally reacted, "....I didn't know it was you."

"fine..."

Tang Shu shook her head and handed him a paper bag. "I bought it at the drugstore at the entrance of the community. Here you go..."

No one answered for a long time, so she turned around in confusion.

Just then, after hesitating, Zhang Li finally moved closer and reached out to take it.

So, she pressed her face against the boy's chest again, but this time there was no white shirt in the way.

The fresh scent of soap filled my nose, and wherever I looked, I saw a thin layer of skin that had not yet been wiped dry.

"I...you..."

The girl blushed to her ears, threw down the paper bag and ran away in panic.
