Don't run after school

The little gangster was stunned for a moment, and put the hat on casually, but it was not put on properly, and it was a little tilted to one side.

"Your mother raised you so big to let you come out to collect protection fees." Zhou Boshan raised his hand to straighten his hat brim, and said, "It really looks like a little..."

Before he could finish the word "gangster", Li Ze murmured, "Mr. Shan... Mr. Shan, I owe him the money. I haven't paid it back. It's not the...protection fee."

After Zhou Baoshan listened, she patted the shoulder of the red peaked cap indifferently, continued with a smile, "...Little volunteer."

The red peaked cap let out a displeased "fuck".

Cheng Jin transferred the money to someone, glanced at the person, "Don't be so rude next time."

The one who fucked him last time is now lying in the city hospital.

Seeing that he was punched and left a big wound on his face, Zhou Boshan took out all the change in his pocket and gave him, "I'm sorry brother, I didn't bring any money with me when I came out."

The red peaked cap frowned and took the money. Although he looked fierce, he just said, "It's okay."

Cheng Jin thought to himself, if it was put on me, if I was wronged and beaten up, I would have to chop the person who beat me up. This Little Red Riding Hood looks fierce and has a pretty good temper.

Just when Zhou Baoshan thought the matter was over and could turn around and leave.

The red peaked cap suddenly said behind him, "Can I get an autograph?"

Cheng Jin, who had already walked a few steps, turned around with Zhou Baoshan, and looked back at him suspiciously.

Zhou Baoshan: "???"

The red peaked cap scratched the back of his head, looked at Zhou Baoshan and said, "I'm your fucking junior, didn't I stroll around school before, and accidentally saw your paintings in some art gallery inside. I think... A few thieves look good."

Without further ado, Zhou Baoshan took off his hat, took out a carbon pen from his pocket, raised his head and asked him, "Can I sign here?"

The red peaked cap frowned, "Whatever you want."

So Zhou Baoshan waved his hand and signed a line - sjb111.

"My name is Xingbei." Before leaving, he put on the red peaked cap happily, with the three letters "sjb" on the front.

"You're quite popular at school, and you always bring your own signature pen when you go out," Cheng Jin said.

"That's right, we are always in touch." Li Ze smiled, "Big touch."

"What signature pen? The boss held a parent-teacher meeting at noon today. I just picked it up. It's the pen of their head teacher." Zhou Baoshan shook her head.

"You even held parent-teacher meetings for the children."

"Well, I was asked to go by name." Zhou Boshan said, "Criticize in person, this parent, please stop helping your child with homework."

Cheng Jin asked, "How did the teacher find out?"

Zhou Boshan replied: "Because the boss never misses the questions. Ever since I helped her with her homework, I have made mistakes twice."

"You can do all the first grade questions wrong?" Cheng Jin's tone was full of contempt.

"The key is that the question is very mentally handicapped." Li Ze said, "Every time Mr. Shan sends a question to the group for help, I see it in a daze."

"One time, it was like filling in the blanks. Some kid was crossing the road and the green light was on. The kid said ___ to the green light," Zhou Baoshan said.

"What did you say?" Cheng Jin asked, "Go at the green light? Stop at the red light?"

"Anyway, I got it right. The kid said to the green light, you're green." Zhou Baoshan patted Cheng Jin on the shoulder and yawned, "Really, if you do the first grade questions every day, you will find yourself It's just wise."

"It's really hard work for you." Seeing that he was also tired, Cheng Jin didn't propose to play a few more games, so he walked out of the Internet cafe and went home with Li Ze.

When she got home, Zhou Baoshan lay down.

Cheng Jin is more comfortable with the bed, and can't sleep on the first night in a strange place.

He lay on the bed with his arms pillowed on his head, staring at the starry sky above his head without blinking.

There are no high-rise buildings in this area, and the general height of the houses is only two floors. The glass roof has a wide view, thousands of stars are bright, and the night sky is deep blue.

Cheng Jin sighed lightly.

"what happened?"

Zhou Baoshan turned her head and asked in a low voice.

"You...why haven't you slept yet?" Cheng Jin thought he had already fallen asleep.

"Aren't you too?" Zhou Baoshan sat up, took out the lighter from the table, and lit it twice in a bored way, but didn't light the cigarette.

"Why can't you sleep?" Cheng Jin asked him looking at the starry sky.

"The results of the college entrance examination will be released tomorrow." Zhou Baoshan said, "I'm a little nervous."

When he said this, there was no expression on his face, and the movements of his hands were very casual.

The lighter slipped from his palm and fell on the bed sheet because his palm was sweaty.

Zhou Baoshan picked it up again, and lay down again with a blank expression.

"Repeat the exam if you fail the exam?" Cheng Jin asked softly, although Zhou Boshan had just heard this fact from himself not long ago, but he still wasn't sure.

"En." Zhou Boshan nodded.

"Since this exam is so important to you, why do you still have to hand in blank papers in English?"

"Before the exam started, my aunt at home called me and said that the third child suddenly had a high fever and was crying for his brother to hug him." Zhou Baoshan said, "Although I finally entered the exam room, I still didn't take the exam. "

Cheng Jin was silent for a long time.

"Before she left, she said that our family is trash." Zhou Baoshan said this suddenly, and Cheng Jin became even more silent.

Because for so many years, Zhou Baoshan only used "she" to refer to one person, and that was his mother.

"I want to prove to her that I'm not useless at all." Zhou Boshan said, "I can go to any school I want, and I can live a life of any kind I want."

Zhou Baoshan's mother probably left when he was only five years old. It rained heavily that day, and he ran to knock on the door of Cheng Jin's house in the middle of the night.

At that time, the next door had not yet become a road, and Cheng Jin's house was not far away.

Zhou Baoshan didn't open an umbrella, her small hands were clenched into fists, and she knocked hard on the door of Cheng Jin's house again and again, her soft black hair was wet by the heavy rain, and it stuck softly to her face.

When Cheng Jin finally appeared at the door, the young Zhou Boshan's eyes suddenly turned red, hugging him and crying loudly, "My mother doesn't want me anymore, and she left with her luggage in the middle of the night while my father was away."

At that time, Cheng Jin was clinging to Zhou Baoshan's small chest, trying hard to give him some strength with his body temperature, bowed his head next to his ear, and said in a soft but firm voice: "I'm here, it's okay. "

Thinking of the scene many years ago, Cheng Jin patted him on the shoulder, and was about to say something sensational, but Zhou Baoshan suddenly changed his style of painting and said, "Cry, cry for me quickly, such a touching scene , not crying is a waste of my emotions."

Cheng Jin smiled, "Enough."

Even if Zhou Baoshan is sad, she doesn't allow herself to be sad for too long.

"I'll help you check your score tomorrow. If you pass the test, I'll tell you. If you don't, then..." Cheng Jin said.

"Forget it." Zhou Baoshan waved his hand, turned over and continued to sleep.

Some things still have to be faced by yourself.

When Cheng Jin woke up the next day, Zhou Baoshan was still sleeping.

This guy said he was going to sleep last night, but he still took out his phone and played with it all night long.

When Cheng Jin went to the bathroom, as soon as he reached the door, he saw a little curly standing there, looking up at him with an innocent expression.

Cheng Jin didn't have much contact with children, so he didn't know how to greet them.

Before he could speak, Little Curly opened his hands to hug him, "Brother, I want to pee."

Cheng Jin picked him up and put him on the toilet.

Little Curly explained while rubbing his eyes: "Brother, I am the second child, and I look exactly like the third child, but I don't like to cry."

"Okay, brother, I know."

"And brother, I'm a boy, and I have a penis." Little Curly said calmly, "We boys never pee like this, we have to stand up."

Cheng Jin admired him for being able to speak Mandarin so fluently, after all, the little curly hair had a mixed face.

After helping the little curly hair to pee, he looked back and saw Zhou Baoshan leaning against the glass door looking at him leisurely.

"Auntie doesn't come until nine o'clock." Zhou Baoshan stretched, "You got up really early."

"Well, I can't sleep." Cheng Jin quickly washed his face, then turned to ask him, "Is there a supermarket downstairs?"

"Yes." Zhou Baoshan pulled out the head of the electric toothbrush and handed him a new one, "However, you can use it first."

"Let's go have breakfast together later?" Cheng Jin said, "By the way, let's see if there is any part-time job."

"There is a place I can introduce you to." Zhou Boshan said, "When I was free, I worked as a summer job in a milk tea shop."

"What store?"

"Hey tea."

"Internet celebrity shop."

"No, you'll know when you go."

When he walked to the store door, Cheng Jin saw the huge signboard, frowned, and said, "Hey."

Zhou Baoshan: "Ha."

"I thought it was because your Mandarin is not standard, so it's not Xicha but Xicha." Cheng Jin glanced at the little brother who was cashiering.

When the little brother saw him, he smiled politely at him.

The little brother is wearing a white T-shirt with a big "hee" written on it. No need to guess, this should be their shop assistant uniform.

However, for some reason, Cheng Jin inexplicably felt that he was being ridiculed by the cashier brother.

"Let's have breakfast first." Zhou Baoshan pointed to the breakfast stall not far away.

There were a lot of people around the community in front of the breakfast stall, and it looked like they were watching some big event.

The two walked over, sat down and ordered two bowls of soy milk, some buns, and a plate of pickles.

Zhou Boshan's long legs, which had no place to rest, stretched out in front of Cheng Jin, and he raised his brows and asked, "What's wrong over there?"

Cheng Jin turned his head, "I don't know, I vaguely heard the uncle at the next table say that someone jumped off the building."

The proprietress just happened to come over with soy milk, wiped the apron with her hand twice, and said with a sigh: "Oh, it is said that it is a girl, only 17 years old, it seems that she jumped off the building because she failed the college entrance examination."

Cheng Jin was a little shocked when he heard this, and silently glanced at Zhou Baoshan.

Zhou Baoshan took a sip of soy milk unhurriedly, looked at him and said, "Don't worry, my house only has two floors."
