Meeting you in autumn

Shen Jia glanced at Chen Fang beside her and said with some disdain, "Isn't it all because of that kid Chen Fang? He drags his feet while eating."

"I'd like to," Chen Fang retorted immediately.

Shen Jia was about to say something when Guan Yu stopped her, saying softly, "Alright, you two."

At this moment, Chen Fang thought of something, his gaze swept between the two of them, and he said with a puzzled look, "Wait, what do you want? Why did you drag me here?"

Upon hearing his words, Guan Yu and Shen Jia exchanged a knowing glance.

For a moment, time seemed to stand still. A sly glint flashed in their eyes, and then they turned around with mischievous grins, staring intently at Chen Fang.

When Chen Fang saw their smiling faces, his heart sank, and an ominous premonition instantly welled up in his mind.

Before he could even react, his body had already instinctively made a move—he took off running, ready to flee this place of trouble.

However, he was still a step too slow. Guan Yu and Lin Xiao acted swiftly, pinning him down like iron clamps. Then, without a word, they dragged him towards a more secluded corner.

Throughout the journey, Chen Fang's heart pounded, wondering what these two guys were up to.

When they finally stopped, Chen Fang looked up and immediately spotted the pink backpack lying on the ground not far away.

He looked at Shen Jia with a puzzled expression and asked, "Shen Jia, how did you end up leaving your backpack here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly realize something, and immediately exclaimed in surprise, raising his hand to slap his head hard: "So... you called me here just to get my schoolbag??"

Chen Fang stared intently at the two people in front of him, his tone filled with disbelief.

Guan Yu and Shen Jia exchanged a glance, then nodded solemnly.

Chen Fang was both amused and exasperated by the two of them, and said helplessly, "Hey, Shen Jia, it's just a backpack, I'll just buy you a new one later!"

"It's just a bag, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?" Chen Fang frowned and asked, puzzled.

"As for it!" Shen Jia and Guan Yu shouted in unison as soon as he finished speaking, their voices loud and firm.

Chen Fang had no choice but to say, "Alright, alright, let's go get it!" He made a move to walk over, but then noticed that the two of them didn't move.

Then, looking at them blankly, Guan Yu coughed lightly and said, "You can go, we'll wait for you here."

“Yeah, yeah, we’ll wait for you here,” Shen Jia chimed in from the side.

Hearing their words, he felt confused, but he didn't think much of it and walked straight over. Seeing this, Shen Jia and the other woman quickly found a place to hide.

Chen Fang walked up to the schoolbag, picked it up, and muttered, "The schoolbag is all chewed up like this. I really don't know why Shen Jia is so attached to it."

As he was about to turn and leave, a low growl broke the silence, and a ferocious dog sprang out of the darkness and pounced straight at Chen Fang.

Chen Fang was terrified. He looked back and found that the two people behind him had already disappeared. Without thinking, he ran as fast as he could. His heart was pounding and his breathing was rapid.

As Chen Fang ran, he shouted "Help!" The two people who were hiding couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh when they heard Chen Fang's cries for help.

Meanwhile, Chen Fang felt the dog's breathing getting closer and closer, as if it were right behind him. He didn't dare to turn his head and could only run forward as fast as he could.

The houses on both sides of the street flashed by quickly in his eyes, and his steps grew heavier and heavier, but he dared not stop.

Suddenly, he saw a narrow alley ahead and turned in without hesitation. The alley was filled with a putrid smell, and the walls were covered with moss.

After a while, Chen Fang noticed that there was no movement behind him. He turned around and saw that the dog had disappeared. He breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and felt a surge of joy at surviving a close call.

He finally understood why the two of them had insisted on dragging him over. They knew there was a dog, so they dug a pit for him to fall into. He was furious!

At this moment, Guan Yu and Shen Jia came out and caught a glimpse of Chen Fang, who was coming in aggressively. He handed over the schoolbag with a dark face.

Shen Jia took the schoolbag and hurriedly rummaged through its contents.

Guan Yu asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Chen Fang, are you alright?"

"Thanks to you guys, I wasn't bitten to death," Chen Fang said irritably, turning his face away.

Guan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "It's good that you're alright."

Thinking about the situation just now, Chen Fang was immediately annoyed again, feeling wronged, and said, "No, you two should have told me there were dogs there first, so I could at least be mentally prepared."

Hilarious! If he knew there were dogs there, he wouldn't have gone even if you killed him.

Guan Yu looked somewhat embarrassed, then looked away, refusing to answer his question.

Meanwhile, Shen Jia frantically rummaged through her things and finally found the most important item at the bottom of her schoolbag.

Then she threw the backpack into a nearby trash can, and looked at Chen Fang and said softly, "Thank you, Chen Fang. There are important things my father left me in the backpack."

Just now, Chen Fang's face, which had been flushed red with anger, seemed to be spitting fire, and he had already thought of countless words to curse Shen Jia.

However, when he heard Shen Jia's words again, he deflated like a punctured balloon, and the raging anger he had just felt vanished instantly.

He subconsciously scratched his head, a look of embarrassment and awkwardness on his face, and stammered, "Oh well, never mind, it's nothing! Let's hurry up and go, or that dog might catch up with us again if we delay any longer."

Upon hearing this, the other two people's faces turned deathly pale, their eyes widening in terror.

"Then let's quicken our pace!" Shen Jia said in a trembling voice.

So the three of them, like startled birds, hurriedly walked towards the exit.

All that could be heard along the way was the sound of their disordered footsteps echoing in the quiet streets.

As they walked, Chen Fang's questioning voice broke the silence: "What's going on with you two? How did your backpack get stolen by a dog?"

"It was just the day before yesterday. I casually put my backpack at the store entrance, and as soon as I turned around, a dog suddenly jumped out from some corner, grabbed my backpack, and ran away."

"I was so terrified that I didn't dare to chase after it!"

"Shen Jia, you're really carefree!" Chen Fang couldn't help but complain.
