What about the revenge line? [Rebirth]
Chapter 30
When seeing Li Huaicheng running in with a white dog in his arms, Jiang Siyuan thought he had misunderstood the person. Just as he was about to approach him to confirm, he saw his red eyes and bewildered expression.
——It was Li Huaicheng, but it didn't look like the Li Huaicheng he had seen before.
This was Jiang Siyuan's first thought, this thought made him stop in his tracks, he stood not far or near, wanting to see what happened, Li Huaicheng showed such an expression.
If it wasn't for the stray cat he just picked up that was still in his arms, Jiang Siyuan would almost think that this is not a pet hospital but a hospital that treats humans.
Because Li Huaicheng's expression was too... sad.
Jiang Siyuan didn't know which Chinese word to use to accurately describe it, probably when he was about to lose his closest relative or favorite lover, he would show it, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world, which made him feel like he was separated by some distance. I can feel the helplessness and fear.
But, that's just a dog.
Jiang Siyuan scratched the chin of the stray cat in his arms, heard him purring in enjoyment, and waited for the follow-up over there.
After a while, a doctor brought the dog that Li Huaicheng was holding into the operating room. Jiang Siyuan saw Li Huaicheng sitting outside the door of the operating room, his whole body was cold and gloomy like never before.
In the end what happened?Perhaps as a classmate, he should go over and take care of him?Huaguo seems to have such a fine tradition of caring and helping each other, right?
Jiang Siyuan leaned against the wall and thought casually, the black shirt formed a sharp contrast with the white wall against which he was leaning against, and the slightly curly brown hair that fell on the end of his eyes made his facial features magnificent and sharp, completely different from the one in the daytime. Elegant and cheerful teenager.
However, before Jiang Siyuan could think about it, he saw a young man with a calm temperament running in, walked straight to Li Huaicheng, put his hands on his shoulders, lowered his head and talked to him, as if to comfort him, Jiang Siyuan Yuan recognized that it was Li Huaijin from the Li family, Li Huaicheng's older brother.
The corner of Jiang Siyuan's mouth curled up, but this brother didn't seem to be close to Li Huaicheng, or... Li Huaicheng was not close to his brother.
It's really interesting, as the second young master of the Li family's ceremonious return, the youngest son who should have gathered thousands of pets and seemed to be very pampered, but now he is guarding the door of a dog's operating room with red circles, flustered like that If something happens to the dog, he will lose everything he owns, and even his own brother can't comfort him at all.
The operation lasted for more than an hour, and Jiang Siyuan also stood there for an hour. He found that within this hour, no matter what Li Huaijin and Li Huaicheng said, Li Huaicheng did not respond. He stared at the operating room without leaving.
The door of the operating room opened slowly, and the doctor came out.
Li Huaicheng stood up, the doctor glanced at his anxious and worried expression, his serious expression slowed down and said: "It's nothing serious, the most serious thing is the broken leg, besides that, there are marks of beating on your body... You as a Owners should take good care of their pets. Now there are many people who don’t like pets and even hate cats and dogs. They take pleasure in beating pets, so next time you take it out, you must hold the rope, otherwise it may not be as good as it is this time. Lucky."
"I see, thank you, doctor." Knowing that the doctor had misunderstood, Li Huaicheng didn't have the heart to explain, and asked anxiously: "Can I go in and have a look?"
The doctor wanted to refuse at first, but seeing the boy's clear and steamy eyes, he swallowed the words of refusal, and said softly, "Go in and have a look, it will be hospitalized during this time, you can take care of it every day from now on." come and see."
Li Huaicheng nodded, thanked the doctor hastily, and walked in.
Chu Qi was lying on the small bed, and the anesthetic had not faded. Li Huaicheng squatted down and put his hand on its warm and undulating belly, feeling the heat and ups and downs in the palm of his hand, and felt his heart settle down a little bit.
It was almost early morning when I returned to Li's house from the pet hospital.
Walking out of the porch, Li Huaicheng saw Li's father and Li's mother sitting on the sofa and Jiang Huaikang sitting beside him.
"What happened to the seventh day?"
Seeing Li Huaicheng and Li Huaijin walking in side by side but Chu Qi was not there, Mother Li couldn't help asking.
Knowing that Li Huaicheng is in a bad mood and unwilling to speak, Li Huaijin put down his coat and replied for him: "Besides the fracture, there are several wounds on his body, and he is currently hospitalized in the hospital, and he may be hospitalized for a while."
"How could it be so serious?"
Jiang Huaikang, who had been sitting buried in the sidelines, blurted out when he heard the words. When Li Huaicheng's cold gaze swept over him, he lowered his face guiltily and explained in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I just wanted to go to your room to see, but I didn't expect Chu Qi to be there too. Inside, when I found him, I immediately thought of it, but it was biting my trouser leg and would not let go. I was shocked and afraid that others would misunderstand me, so I didn’t think about anything else, I just wanted to break free quickly It didn't expect that it didn't control its movements for a while, so it got injured."
Li Huaicheng glanced at Jiang Huaikang's downcast eyes with a cold gaze, and said lightly: "It's okay, you don't need to apologize."
Jiang Huaikang raised his head eagerly, even if he tried his best to conceal it, Li Huaicheng could still see the disbelief and suspicion in his eyes.
Probably because he realized that his expression was too obvious, Jiang Huaikang lowered his head again, and said, "No matter what, I should apologize. Even if I didn't mean it, Chu Qi was indeed injured. It is in the hospital now. Can I go and see it with you tomorrow so I can apologize to it in person."
After Jiang Huaikang finished speaking, Li's mother frowned slightly, and just about to speak, she heard Li Huaicheng say: "No, it doesn't need your apology."
Jiang Huaikang buried his head even lower, and his voice became timid: "Huaicheng, do you still blame me? What should I do so that you can forgive me? As long as you say it, I am willing to make it up."
"Okay, Kangkang." Li's mother got up and said softly, "Since Chengcheng said that there is no need to apologize, you should stop talking about this matter. Chu Qi was brought back by Chengcheng, and he has a very good relationship with him. Pay attention, and avoid it when you see it."
Jiang Huaikang froze, what did Li's mother mean?Did you tell him to keep out of the way of even a dog in Li's house?What is he then?
"I see." Jiang Huaikang tightened his hand on his side, raised his head and raised his lips to Li Huaicheng, "Huaicheng, you don't blame me."
Catching the flash of provocation and pride in Jiang Huaikang's eyes, Li Huaicheng's eyes became even colder, staring at him and slowly said: "Chu Qi hurt his front leg, now I break your hand, this matter is considered How are you, Liang Qing?"
After Li Huaicheng finished speaking, the atmosphere in the living room froze instantly.
Li's mother frowned, and when she was about to speak, she heard Li Huaicheng continue: "What you said, as long as I say it, I am willing to make any compensation, and now I have said it..."
In the past, Li Huaicheng never believed in the idealistic conclusion that human nature is inherently good or inherently evil. He always believed that a person's character would only be affected by the environment and experiences in life. Genetic.
Jiang Huaikang's selfishness, greed, insidious viciousness, and petty temperament that can't get on the stage are exactly the same as that couple even if he hadn't been raised by the Jiang family since childhood.
It is the nature of this kind of person to bully the weak and be afraid of the hard, and to make progress. It is because of his inaction that Jiang Huaikang thinks that he is weak and can be bullied, so he dares to test his bottom line unscrupulously.
In the previous life, he worked hard in the shopping malls and made him develop the habit of being far-sighted in everything he did. However, the prudence at that time was just another kind of patience in disguise, because he didn't have the rich background of those rich kids, and he was afraid of walking alone. It is difficult to make a comeback if you make a mistake.
But he forgot that now he is no longer the Jiang Yuan in his previous life who had no background and background and needed to be patient and cautious all the time.
As Li Huaicheng, he should instead abandon his habitual forbearance. The experience of carefully sailing a ship for thousands of years in his previous life made him fall into a misunderstanding, thinking that it is the best policy to act after everything is settled. As everyone knows, there are some things that some people don’t need at all. It's not worth his trouble.
Where will there be elephants who always pay attention not to step on ants when they lift their feet? It is true that we need to be alert to the possibility of ants killing more elephants, but we can't dare to put our feet on the ground because of this.
Li Huaicheng originally wanted to let Jiang Huaikang jump around, because he had already predicted his end, so he didn't bother to intervene to do anything more, but now he didn't want to go on like this.
Facing Jiang Huaikang's hateful eyes, Li Huaicheng smiled lightly and mockingly: "Are you willing?"
"I..." Jiang Huaikang lost all blood on his face, and carefully glanced at Li's mother before saying in a trembling voice: "If this is the only way you can forgive me, I would like..."
"Chengcheng!" Li's mother interrupted Jiang Huaikang's words, her expression was rare serious, and she disapproved, "It's a bit too much for you to say that."
Li Huaicheng raised his eyebrows, and for the first time a mocking look appeared on his soft and gentle face. He glanced at Li's mother and Jiang Huaikang with his head down, turned and went upstairs.
Li's mother opened her mouth to stop him, but thinking of the look in his eyes just now, she couldn't make a sound for some reason. Li Huaicheng's back disappeared at the stairs, and the living room fell into silence.
Seeing Li's mother with a sad expression, Li Huaijin sighed in his heart, walked over to wrap her arms around her gently, patted her on the back and said: "Mom, I'm going upstairs first, you should go to bed early too, good night."
Mother Li came back to her senses, just as she was about to speak, Father Li got up and said calmly: "It's getting late, I'm going to bed first."
Mother Li was taken aback when she heard the words. For so many years, this was the first time she heard her husband speak to her in such a cold tone.
Seeing his wife's astonished and sad expression, Father Li finally couldn't bear to add: "It's late, you should go to bed earlier."
"Mom, go to sleep." Jiang Huaikang said, timidly avoiding Li's father's sight, and said softly, "I'll just go to the guest room and sleep by myself."
Seeing Jiang Huaikang's cowardly and inferior expression, Li's mother couldn't help but feel soft. She took his hand and said, "What kind of guest room do you sleep in? Mom... I'll help you tidy up your room. You can sleep there."
Jiang Huaikang carefully glanced at Father Li's expression, and seeing that he didn't seem dissatisfied, he nodded lightly, "Thank you, Mom."
Father Li said lightly: "You can stay, but now your surname is Jiang and not Li. From today onwards, I hope you pay attention to your address."
When Jiang Huaikang heard Li's father's words, his eyes turned red, and it took him a while to choke up and whisper, "I see, dad, uncle."
Father Li nodded, told his wife to go to bed early, and then turned and went upstairs.
Back in the room, Li's mother saw that Li's father hadn't slept yet, so she couldn't help saying: "How could you say that to Kangkang just now, he has been sad enough for the past six months, and you have seen how thin he is, and now he finally came back , but you... make the child sad."
Father Li rubbed his brows, put down the book in his hand, looked seriously at Mother Li and said, "Si'an, I know you love Jiang Huaikang, but no matter what, he is not our real son, you have to be clear about this. "
"I know."
Li's mother sat down next to Li's father, thinking of Jiang Huaikang asking "Mom, will you drive me away" over and over again just before she left, she felt sour.
"But Kangkang is also our son who has been raised for 14 years. From the time he learned to speak to the time he grew up and went to school, we loved him as much as we put in how much we put into him. Could it be that just because he has no blood relationship with us, we can easily Cut it off?"
Li's mother's eyes were red, "Kangkang is also innocent of what happened before. He has suffered enough in the past six months. Are we going to make him sad again and again? Besides, our family is not without If you can raise one more child, can't you treat him as an adopted child?"
Waiting quietly for Li's mother to finish speaking, Li's father said slowly: "You are right, but in these things, you forgot a prerequisite, that is Chengcheng's feelings."
Seeing Li's mother wanted to speak, Li's father raised his hand to interrupt her, and continued: "You said that Jiang Huaikang suffered so much for half a year, but have you ever thought that Huaicheng lived in that environment for 14 years? Jiang Huaikang shouldn't be sad, so should we ignore Huaicheng's feelings?"
"Si'an, Huaicheng is too sensible, so he never cries to us, never tells us how painful or uncomfortable he is, as the saying goes, children who cry have candy, Huaicheng suffers because he never Never cry."
"But, have you ever thought about why he doesn't cry or make trouble?"
After Father Li finished speaking, he closed his eyes tiredly, and after a long silence, he said softly: "Do you still remember what Mr. Zhang said to us when we took Huaicheng out of the Zhang family?"
Li's mother was stunned in place, what Mr. Zhang said and Li Huaicheng's indifferent expression before going upstairs played in her mind alternately. Her heart seemed to be tightly squeezed by a big hand, and the pain was unbearably sore.
—Don't be disappointed in him, and don't let him down.
She clearly remembered it, and she promised it, but she didn't do it, and even did it very badly.
Father Li wiped away his wife's tears, took her into his arms and said softly: "Don't be sad, although we are not doing well enough, we still have a long, long time, and we will take our time in the future."
Li's mother whimpered, lying in Li's father's arms and crying loudly.
Waking up the next morning, Li Huaicheng changed his clothes and was about to go for a run, only to realize that Chu Qi was still in the hospital. He silently took off his sportswear, changed into his school uniform, and went downstairs.
Aunt Wang was still preparing breakfast in the dining room. She was very surprised to see Li Huaicheng wearing her school uniform. She looked down at his whole body and said, "Second Young Master, aren't you going for a run today? How about the seventh day?"
Except for Aunt Cao who took care of Li Huaixin, none of the servants in Li's house would sleep in Li's house, and Aunt Cao asked for leave yesterday afternoon to go home, so they didn't know what happened yesterday.
Li Huaicheng smiled, drank the milk on the table and took a sandwich, then said: "Chu Qi is sick and is in the hospital now, so I won't run, I plan to go to school early today."
"That's it." Aunt Wang didn't think much about it, she took another sandwich and put it in Li Huaicheng's hand with a smile. Seeing his cute and soft smile, she couldn't help but patted his head and said, "How can one be enough?" , children will be hungry after a while, so you should bring one more."
Li Huaicheng took the sandwich from Aunt Wang's hand and smiled shyly, "Then I'll go first, see you Aunt Wang."
Aunt Wang looked at Li Huaicheng's leaving back lovingly, and continued to work with a smile on her face.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Li's family gathered at the dining table, and after waiting for a long time, they did not see Li Huaicheng.
Li's mother looked outside the door worriedly, and asked Aunt Wang who was putting the dishes on, "Aunt Wang, did you see Huaicheng when he went out for a run? When did he leave the door?"
Aunt Wang: "Second young master went to school after six o'clock, and didn't go for a run. He said that he was sick on the seventh day of the lunar new year, so he stopped running."
Li's mother was taken aback when she heard the words, a wry smile appeared on her face, and she asked, "Has he had breakfast?"
"Eat." Aunt Wang felt that the atmosphere was not right, and her eyes could not help but drift to Jiang Huaikang, who suddenly appeared in the morning, she looked away and said, "I drank a glass of milk and brought two sandwiches, the second young master should not be hungry."
"Well, I see, thank you, Aunt Wang."
The atmosphere at the dining table was very depressing. Li Huaijin got up after taking a few bites quickly, and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm full. I still have class in the morning, so let's go first."
After Li Huaijin left, the three of them remained even more depressed.
Jiang Siyuan and Zhou Ziyou walked into the classroom one after another. Seeing Li Huaicheng sitting there doing the questions, Zhou Ziyou's eyes widened, and he quickly ran to Li Huaicheng and said, "Why are you here so early today?"
Li Huaicheng put down his pen and said calmly: "The final exam will be in a few days, of course I need to review it."
Zhou Ziyou walked over to look at the questions on Li Huaicheng's paper, clicked his tongue and said, "The first grade in mathematics is still reviewing mathematics? Also, you are taking the final exam of the third year of junior high school, do you need to review the papers of the third year of high school?" ?”
"Cheng, good morning business." Jiang Siyuan came over, and after greeting Li Huaicheng, he patted Zhou Ziyou on the shoulder and said, "Would you like to go to play golf? Not now, we will meet the wine business class later."
Only then did Zhou Ziyou remember why he came to school so early, he pulled out the paper in Li Huaicheng's hand, and said, "Go play with us, what kind of math paper for the third year of high school, it's exciting."
Li Huaicheng was not annoyed when the paper was taken away, he stood up and said, "Let's go."
Zhou Ziyou was taken aback for a moment, and hesitated, "Are you really going to play with us?"
Li Huaicheng made a gesture to sit down when he heard the words: "Fake, don't go."
"Hey hey!" Zhou Ziyou hugged Li Huaicheng's neck and said with a smile, "If you get up, you can't go back on your word. Let's go and play."
When the three of them arrived at the stadium, several people were already waiting, and they all greeted Zhou Ziyou walking over.
One person's eyes fell on Li Huaicheng, his eyes lit up, he hammered Zhou Ziyou's chest and said: "Okay, you not only brought the new school grass here, but also our Xueba, wait a minute There are so many people coming, the girls outside the stadium will be blocked."
"Come on." Zhou Ziyou rolled his eyes at the man, and said, "I didn't come here to see you, but to see Jiangsiyuan oranges and... mine! What are you happy about?"
"Just put gold on your face." Several people came up laughing and laughing, one of them stroked the curly hair on Zhou Ziyou's head, and said, "Who is watching you, watching you drinking milk and cursing?"
Zhou Ziyou put down the pure milk in his hand, and shouted: "What's the matter, do you look down on milk drinkers? Let me tell you, when I was in the first year of high school, my father would run straight 1.9 meters!"
"Okay, let's wait for the class." Someone said, "There are exactly ten people, and we are five against five."
No one has any objections, and the game started like this.
Although Li Huaicheng has been running and exercising every day for the past six months, but because he grew tall during adolescence, he didn't see a little more flesh on his body after eating. He still looked thin and thin. He was regarded as the main breakthrough target.
On Jiang Siyuan's side, except for a person who is dedicated to defending him, almost no one would want to pick on him. The mixed race's unique figure makes him stand out from a group of junior high school students at nearly 1.8 meters, whether it is dribbling He is still very flexible in running, and basically he will score when the ball is passed to his hands.
However, what the other team didn't expect was that the soft persimmon they thought was not easy to pinch at all. When Li Huaicheng made the second three-pointer, there were bursts of screams from outside the court, and some girls even grabbed the barbed wire and screamed excitedly. His nickname: "Milk orange! Milk orange!"
Li Huaicheng slipped and the ball in his hand was intercepted by the opponent. He gritted his teeth and stared at Zhou Ziyou who had just passed the ball to him.
Zhou Ziyou shrugged. He knew why Li Huaicheng stared at him. In fact, he had expected it when he heard someone call out the name "Naicheng".
Although Li Huaicheng's nickname has something to do with him, he can't be completely blamed. Thinking of this, Zhou Ziyou feels a little wronged.
I still remember that day he handed the pure milk he brought to Li Huaicheng as usual, and then the two of them drank milk together and read the questions together. Suddenly, a girl came over and rubbed his head, saying: "Ziyou drink milk obediently, really cute."
Zhou Ziyou was very angry, and told the girl not to rub his head like a child and not to talk to him in the tone of a child.
But the girl didn't care about his anger at all, and said righteously: "You want to do this because you are cute."
Zhou Ziyou saw Li Huaicheng who also drank milk but did not receive the same treatment as him, and said angrily, "That Cheng Zi also drank milk, why didn't you rub him?"
The girl glanced at Li Huaicheng who was doing the quiz, and the love in her eyes almost jumped out. Zhou Ziyou still remembered her rippling tone. She said: "Li Huaicheng is so gentle, handsome and cute, how could I bear to mess up his hair."
Zhou Ziyou was very angry. He always thought that Li Huaicheng was the same type as him, so he said, "I'm cute and handsome too, why are you rubbing me!"
The girl shook her head and said: "That's not true, you are two different kinds of cuteness, your cuteness means cuteness literally, and Huaicheng's cuteness means that it is easy to fall in love with, for example, when I see you, I just want to Rub your head, but when I saw Huai Cheng, I not only wanted to rub it, but also wanted to..."
The girl's yearning tone and expression made Zhou Ziyou understand what she hadn't finished speaking, but he was still very unconvinced, and said: "I'm white and he's white, why do you call me childish and call him handsome!"
"Because I only think you are cute when I see you, and I also want to fall in love with him when I see him." Seeing that Zhou Ziyou was puzzled, the female classmate who loves metaphors continued to explain: "How should I put it, it's like milk, although it tastes good. , but there is no other taste except for a touch of milk, and I don’t particularly want to drink it, but oranges are different. Not only the fragrance is attractive, but also the taste is sweet and sour, which makes people salivate and endless aftertaste! "
The girl's answer hurt Zhou Ziyou's heart. He pointed at Li Huaicheng and said loudly, "How could he make you want to fall in love? The milky white one is still drinking milk! He looks much more childish than me!"
Zhou Ziyou continued, "Even if it's an orange, it tastes like milk! Milky orange! Look at his face, which is whiter than mine, and the way he drinks milk! What a sour taste!" It's sweet, it only has the smell of milk!"
Since that day, Li Huaicheng's nickname of "Milk Orange" has spread throughout Deming.
Receiving Li Huaicheng's chilling gaze again, Zhou Ziyou was really wronged. Although the nickname came from him, it was not passed on by him. It was because those girls thought it was very appropriate that it spread so quickly. At most, he just did it unintentionally That's all.
"Ahhhh-"
Jiang Siyuan ended the game with their team's last three points. Hearing the enthusiastic screams outside the court, Zhou Ziyou knew that his chances of falling in love in Deming had dropped by more than ten percentage points again.
"Continue next time." A tall boy from the other team grabbed Zhou Ziyou's shoulders and said, "Li Huaicheng and Jiang Siyuan can't be on the same team next time. This is a fucking fight."
Zhou Ziyou raised his eyebrows proudly, "Of course, they are all my brothers. We, the Three Musketeers, unite and fight against Deming all over!"
Li Huaicheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, and when the tall boy let go of Zhou Ziyou, he pushed down Zhou Ziyou's head that had just been raised, and said with a gentle smile, "I drank milk at home this morning, wait for my milk I'll give you a drink."
Zhou Ziyou swallowed his saliva, and nodded in a doggy manner: "Drink, drink, drink later, drink it right away."
Jiang Siyuan also came over and put his arms around Li Huaicheng's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Cheng, you're really tired of playing basketball, let's play together next time."
Li Huaicheng looked up at Jiang Siyuan who was half a head taller than him, rubbed Zhou Ziyou's curly hair to regain his mental balance, and said with a smile, "Okay."
The three of them crossed their shoulders and walked towards the teaching building. It was difficult for the students outside the basketball court who were about to return to the classroom to take their eyes off their bright smiles. A girl burst out laughing suddenly and said to her companion: "You Have you noticed that the three of Zhou Ziyou and the others are just like a ladder, 1.6 meters, 1.7 meters, 1.8 meters, hahahahahaha..."
The companion couldn't help laughing after hearing the words.
The winter sun shone on the three people who were walking side by side towards the teaching building, dragging their shadows longer. The noisy bells and the bustling campus seemed to have become the background, forming a picture scroll most suitable for interpreting youth. Freezing this moment has made it difficult for many Deming students to forget this picture many years after graduation.
——It was Li Huaicheng, but it didn't look like the Li Huaicheng he had seen before.
This was Jiang Siyuan's first thought, this thought made him stop in his tracks, he stood not far or near, wanting to see what happened, Li Huaicheng showed such an expression.
If it wasn't for the stray cat he just picked up that was still in his arms, Jiang Siyuan would almost think that this is not a pet hospital but a hospital that treats humans.
Because Li Huaicheng's expression was too... sad.
Jiang Siyuan didn't know which Chinese word to use to accurately describe it, probably when he was about to lose his closest relative or favorite lover, he would show it, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world, which made him feel like he was separated by some distance. I can feel the helplessness and fear.
But, that's just a dog.
Jiang Siyuan scratched the chin of the stray cat in his arms, heard him purring in enjoyment, and waited for the follow-up over there.
After a while, a doctor brought the dog that Li Huaicheng was holding into the operating room. Jiang Siyuan saw Li Huaicheng sitting outside the door of the operating room, his whole body was cold and gloomy like never before.
In the end what happened?Perhaps as a classmate, he should go over and take care of him?Huaguo seems to have such a fine tradition of caring and helping each other, right?
Jiang Siyuan leaned against the wall and thought casually, the black shirt formed a sharp contrast with the white wall against which he was leaning against, and the slightly curly brown hair that fell on the end of his eyes made his facial features magnificent and sharp, completely different from the one in the daytime. Elegant and cheerful teenager.
However, before Jiang Siyuan could think about it, he saw a young man with a calm temperament running in, walked straight to Li Huaicheng, put his hands on his shoulders, lowered his head and talked to him, as if to comfort him, Jiang Siyuan Yuan recognized that it was Li Huaijin from the Li family, Li Huaicheng's older brother.
The corner of Jiang Siyuan's mouth curled up, but this brother didn't seem to be close to Li Huaicheng, or... Li Huaicheng was not close to his brother.
It's really interesting, as the second young master of the Li family's ceremonious return, the youngest son who should have gathered thousands of pets and seemed to be very pampered, but now he is guarding the door of a dog's operating room with red circles, flustered like that If something happens to the dog, he will lose everything he owns, and even his own brother can't comfort him at all.
The operation lasted for more than an hour, and Jiang Siyuan also stood there for an hour. He found that within this hour, no matter what Li Huaijin and Li Huaicheng said, Li Huaicheng did not respond. He stared at the operating room without leaving.
The door of the operating room opened slowly, and the doctor came out.
Li Huaicheng stood up, the doctor glanced at his anxious and worried expression, his serious expression slowed down and said: "It's nothing serious, the most serious thing is the broken leg, besides that, there are marks of beating on your body... You as a Owners should take good care of their pets. Now there are many people who don’t like pets and even hate cats and dogs. They take pleasure in beating pets, so next time you take it out, you must hold the rope, otherwise it may not be as good as it is this time. Lucky."
"I see, thank you, doctor." Knowing that the doctor had misunderstood, Li Huaicheng didn't have the heart to explain, and asked anxiously: "Can I go in and have a look?"
The doctor wanted to refuse at first, but seeing the boy's clear and steamy eyes, he swallowed the words of refusal, and said softly, "Go in and have a look, it will be hospitalized during this time, you can take care of it every day from now on." come and see."
Li Huaicheng nodded, thanked the doctor hastily, and walked in.
Chu Qi was lying on the small bed, and the anesthetic had not faded. Li Huaicheng squatted down and put his hand on its warm and undulating belly, feeling the heat and ups and downs in the palm of his hand, and felt his heart settle down a little bit.
It was almost early morning when I returned to Li's house from the pet hospital.
Walking out of the porch, Li Huaicheng saw Li's father and Li's mother sitting on the sofa and Jiang Huaikang sitting beside him.
"What happened to the seventh day?"
Seeing Li Huaicheng and Li Huaijin walking in side by side but Chu Qi was not there, Mother Li couldn't help asking.
Knowing that Li Huaicheng is in a bad mood and unwilling to speak, Li Huaijin put down his coat and replied for him: "Besides the fracture, there are several wounds on his body, and he is currently hospitalized in the hospital, and he may be hospitalized for a while."
"How could it be so serious?"
Jiang Huaikang, who had been sitting buried in the sidelines, blurted out when he heard the words. When Li Huaicheng's cold gaze swept over him, he lowered his face guiltily and explained in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I just wanted to go to your room to see, but I didn't expect Chu Qi to be there too. Inside, when I found him, I immediately thought of it, but it was biting my trouser leg and would not let go. I was shocked and afraid that others would misunderstand me, so I didn’t think about anything else, I just wanted to break free quickly It didn't expect that it didn't control its movements for a while, so it got injured."
Li Huaicheng glanced at Jiang Huaikang's downcast eyes with a cold gaze, and said lightly: "It's okay, you don't need to apologize."
Jiang Huaikang raised his head eagerly, even if he tried his best to conceal it, Li Huaicheng could still see the disbelief and suspicion in his eyes.
Probably because he realized that his expression was too obvious, Jiang Huaikang lowered his head again, and said, "No matter what, I should apologize. Even if I didn't mean it, Chu Qi was indeed injured. It is in the hospital now. Can I go and see it with you tomorrow so I can apologize to it in person."
After Jiang Huaikang finished speaking, Li's mother frowned slightly, and just about to speak, she heard Li Huaicheng say: "No, it doesn't need your apology."
Jiang Huaikang buried his head even lower, and his voice became timid: "Huaicheng, do you still blame me? What should I do so that you can forgive me? As long as you say it, I am willing to make it up."
"Okay, Kangkang." Li's mother got up and said softly, "Since Chengcheng said that there is no need to apologize, you should stop talking about this matter. Chu Qi was brought back by Chengcheng, and he has a very good relationship with him. Pay attention, and avoid it when you see it."
Jiang Huaikang froze, what did Li's mother mean?Did you tell him to keep out of the way of even a dog in Li's house?What is he then?
"I see." Jiang Huaikang tightened his hand on his side, raised his head and raised his lips to Li Huaicheng, "Huaicheng, you don't blame me."
Catching the flash of provocation and pride in Jiang Huaikang's eyes, Li Huaicheng's eyes became even colder, staring at him and slowly said: "Chu Qi hurt his front leg, now I break your hand, this matter is considered How are you, Liang Qing?"
After Li Huaicheng finished speaking, the atmosphere in the living room froze instantly.
Li's mother frowned, and when she was about to speak, she heard Li Huaicheng continue: "What you said, as long as I say it, I am willing to make any compensation, and now I have said it..."
In the past, Li Huaicheng never believed in the idealistic conclusion that human nature is inherently good or inherently evil. He always believed that a person's character would only be affected by the environment and experiences in life. Genetic.
Jiang Huaikang's selfishness, greed, insidious viciousness, and petty temperament that can't get on the stage are exactly the same as that couple even if he hadn't been raised by the Jiang family since childhood.
It is the nature of this kind of person to bully the weak and be afraid of the hard, and to make progress. It is because of his inaction that Jiang Huaikang thinks that he is weak and can be bullied, so he dares to test his bottom line unscrupulously.
In the previous life, he worked hard in the shopping malls and made him develop the habit of being far-sighted in everything he did. However, the prudence at that time was just another kind of patience in disguise, because he didn't have the rich background of those rich kids, and he was afraid of walking alone. It is difficult to make a comeback if you make a mistake.
But he forgot that now he is no longer the Jiang Yuan in his previous life who had no background and background and needed to be patient and cautious all the time.
As Li Huaicheng, he should instead abandon his habitual forbearance. The experience of carefully sailing a ship for thousands of years in his previous life made him fall into a misunderstanding, thinking that it is the best policy to act after everything is settled. As everyone knows, there are some things that some people don’t need at all. It's not worth his trouble.
Where will there be elephants who always pay attention not to step on ants when they lift their feet? It is true that we need to be alert to the possibility of ants killing more elephants, but we can't dare to put our feet on the ground because of this.
Li Huaicheng originally wanted to let Jiang Huaikang jump around, because he had already predicted his end, so he didn't bother to intervene to do anything more, but now he didn't want to go on like this.
Facing Jiang Huaikang's hateful eyes, Li Huaicheng smiled lightly and mockingly: "Are you willing?"
"I..." Jiang Huaikang lost all blood on his face, and carefully glanced at Li's mother before saying in a trembling voice: "If this is the only way you can forgive me, I would like..."
"Chengcheng!" Li's mother interrupted Jiang Huaikang's words, her expression was rare serious, and she disapproved, "It's a bit too much for you to say that."
Li Huaicheng raised his eyebrows, and for the first time a mocking look appeared on his soft and gentle face. He glanced at Li's mother and Jiang Huaikang with his head down, turned and went upstairs.
Li's mother opened her mouth to stop him, but thinking of the look in his eyes just now, she couldn't make a sound for some reason. Li Huaicheng's back disappeared at the stairs, and the living room fell into silence.
Seeing Li's mother with a sad expression, Li Huaijin sighed in his heart, walked over to wrap her arms around her gently, patted her on the back and said: "Mom, I'm going upstairs first, you should go to bed early too, good night."
Mother Li came back to her senses, just as she was about to speak, Father Li got up and said calmly: "It's getting late, I'm going to bed first."
Mother Li was taken aback when she heard the words. For so many years, this was the first time she heard her husband speak to her in such a cold tone.
Seeing his wife's astonished and sad expression, Father Li finally couldn't bear to add: "It's late, you should go to bed earlier."
"Mom, go to sleep." Jiang Huaikang said, timidly avoiding Li's father's sight, and said softly, "I'll just go to the guest room and sleep by myself."
Seeing Jiang Huaikang's cowardly and inferior expression, Li's mother couldn't help but feel soft. She took his hand and said, "What kind of guest room do you sleep in? Mom... I'll help you tidy up your room. You can sleep there."
Jiang Huaikang carefully glanced at Father Li's expression, and seeing that he didn't seem dissatisfied, he nodded lightly, "Thank you, Mom."
Father Li said lightly: "You can stay, but now your surname is Jiang and not Li. From today onwards, I hope you pay attention to your address."
When Jiang Huaikang heard Li's father's words, his eyes turned red, and it took him a while to choke up and whisper, "I see, dad, uncle."
Father Li nodded, told his wife to go to bed early, and then turned and went upstairs.
Back in the room, Li's mother saw that Li's father hadn't slept yet, so she couldn't help saying: "How could you say that to Kangkang just now, he has been sad enough for the past six months, and you have seen how thin he is, and now he finally came back , but you... make the child sad."
Father Li rubbed his brows, put down the book in his hand, looked seriously at Mother Li and said, "Si'an, I know you love Jiang Huaikang, but no matter what, he is not our real son, you have to be clear about this. "
"I know."
Li's mother sat down next to Li's father, thinking of Jiang Huaikang asking "Mom, will you drive me away" over and over again just before she left, she felt sour.
"But Kangkang is also our son who has been raised for 14 years. From the time he learned to speak to the time he grew up and went to school, we loved him as much as we put in how much we put into him. Could it be that just because he has no blood relationship with us, we can easily Cut it off?"
Li's mother's eyes were red, "Kangkang is also innocent of what happened before. He has suffered enough in the past six months. Are we going to make him sad again and again? Besides, our family is not without If you can raise one more child, can't you treat him as an adopted child?"
Waiting quietly for Li's mother to finish speaking, Li's father said slowly: "You are right, but in these things, you forgot a prerequisite, that is Chengcheng's feelings."
Seeing Li's mother wanted to speak, Li's father raised his hand to interrupt her, and continued: "You said that Jiang Huaikang suffered so much for half a year, but have you ever thought that Huaicheng lived in that environment for 14 years? Jiang Huaikang shouldn't be sad, so should we ignore Huaicheng's feelings?"
"Si'an, Huaicheng is too sensible, so he never cries to us, never tells us how painful or uncomfortable he is, as the saying goes, children who cry have candy, Huaicheng suffers because he never Never cry."
"But, have you ever thought about why he doesn't cry or make trouble?"
After Father Li finished speaking, he closed his eyes tiredly, and after a long silence, he said softly: "Do you still remember what Mr. Zhang said to us when we took Huaicheng out of the Zhang family?"
Li's mother was stunned in place, what Mr. Zhang said and Li Huaicheng's indifferent expression before going upstairs played in her mind alternately. Her heart seemed to be tightly squeezed by a big hand, and the pain was unbearably sore.
—Don't be disappointed in him, and don't let him down.
She clearly remembered it, and she promised it, but she didn't do it, and even did it very badly.
Father Li wiped away his wife's tears, took her into his arms and said softly: "Don't be sad, although we are not doing well enough, we still have a long, long time, and we will take our time in the future."
Li's mother whimpered, lying in Li's father's arms and crying loudly.
Waking up the next morning, Li Huaicheng changed his clothes and was about to go for a run, only to realize that Chu Qi was still in the hospital. He silently took off his sportswear, changed into his school uniform, and went downstairs.
Aunt Wang was still preparing breakfast in the dining room. She was very surprised to see Li Huaicheng wearing her school uniform. She looked down at his whole body and said, "Second Young Master, aren't you going for a run today? How about the seventh day?"
Except for Aunt Cao who took care of Li Huaixin, none of the servants in Li's house would sleep in Li's house, and Aunt Cao asked for leave yesterday afternoon to go home, so they didn't know what happened yesterday.
Li Huaicheng smiled, drank the milk on the table and took a sandwich, then said: "Chu Qi is sick and is in the hospital now, so I won't run, I plan to go to school early today."
"That's it." Aunt Wang didn't think much about it, she took another sandwich and put it in Li Huaicheng's hand with a smile. Seeing his cute and soft smile, she couldn't help but patted his head and said, "How can one be enough?" , children will be hungry after a while, so you should bring one more."
Li Huaicheng took the sandwich from Aunt Wang's hand and smiled shyly, "Then I'll go first, see you Aunt Wang."
Aunt Wang looked at Li Huaicheng's leaving back lovingly, and continued to work with a smile on her face.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Li's family gathered at the dining table, and after waiting for a long time, they did not see Li Huaicheng.
Li's mother looked outside the door worriedly, and asked Aunt Wang who was putting the dishes on, "Aunt Wang, did you see Huaicheng when he went out for a run? When did he leave the door?"
Aunt Wang: "Second young master went to school after six o'clock, and didn't go for a run. He said that he was sick on the seventh day of the lunar new year, so he stopped running."
Li's mother was taken aback when she heard the words, a wry smile appeared on her face, and she asked, "Has he had breakfast?"
"Eat." Aunt Wang felt that the atmosphere was not right, and her eyes could not help but drift to Jiang Huaikang, who suddenly appeared in the morning, she looked away and said, "I drank a glass of milk and brought two sandwiches, the second young master should not be hungry."
"Well, I see, thank you, Aunt Wang."
The atmosphere at the dining table was very depressing. Li Huaijin got up after taking a few bites quickly, and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm full. I still have class in the morning, so let's go first."
After Li Huaijin left, the three of them remained even more depressed.
Jiang Siyuan and Zhou Ziyou walked into the classroom one after another. Seeing Li Huaicheng sitting there doing the questions, Zhou Ziyou's eyes widened, and he quickly ran to Li Huaicheng and said, "Why are you here so early today?"
Li Huaicheng put down his pen and said calmly: "The final exam will be in a few days, of course I need to review it."
Zhou Ziyou walked over to look at the questions on Li Huaicheng's paper, clicked his tongue and said, "The first grade in mathematics is still reviewing mathematics? Also, you are taking the final exam of the third year of junior high school, do you need to review the papers of the third year of high school?" ?”
"Cheng, good morning business." Jiang Siyuan came over, and after greeting Li Huaicheng, he patted Zhou Ziyou on the shoulder and said, "Would you like to go to play golf? Not now, we will meet the wine business class later."
Only then did Zhou Ziyou remember why he came to school so early, he pulled out the paper in Li Huaicheng's hand, and said, "Go play with us, what kind of math paper for the third year of high school, it's exciting."
Li Huaicheng was not annoyed when the paper was taken away, he stood up and said, "Let's go."
Zhou Ziyou was taken aback for a moment, and hesitated, "Are you really going to play with us?"
Li Huaicheng made a gesture to sit down when he heard the words: "Fake, don't go."
"Hey hey!" Zhou Ziyou hugged Li Huaicheng's neck and said with a smile, "If you get up, you can't go back on your word. Let's go and play."
When the three of them arrived at the stadium, several people were already waiting, and they all greeted Zhou Ziyou walking over.
One person's eyes fell on Li Huaicheng, his eyes lit up, he hammered Zhou Ziyou's chest and said: "Okay, you not only brought the new school grass here, but also our Xueba, wait a minute There are so many people coming, the girls outside the stadium will be blocked."
"Come on." Zhou Ziyou rolled his eyes at the man, and said, "I didn't come here to see you, but to see Jiangsiyuan oranges and... mine! What are you happy about?"
"Just put gold on your face." Several people came up laughing and laughing, one of them stroked the curly hair on Zhou Ziyou's head, and said, "Who is watching you, watching you drinking milk and cursing?"
Zhou Ziyou put down the pure milk in his hand, and shouted: "What's the matter, do you look down on milk drinkers? Let me tell you, when I was in the first year of high school, my father would run straight 1.9 meters!"
"Okay, let's wait for the class." Someone said, "There are exactly ten people, and we are five against five."
No one has any objections, and the game started like this.
Although Li Huaicheng has been running and exercising every day for the past six months, but because he grew tall during adolescence, he didn't see a little more flesh on his body after eating. He still looked thin and thin. He was regarded as the main breakthrough target.
On Jiang Siyuan's side, except for a person who is dedicated to defending him, almost no one would want to pick on him. The mixed race's unique figure makes him stand out from a group of junior high school students at nearly 1.8 meters, whether it is dribbling He is still very flexible in running, and basically he will score when the ball is passed to his hands.
However, what the other team didn't expect was that the soft persimmon they thought was not easy to pinch at all. When Li Huaicheng made the second three-pointer, there were bursts of screams from outside the court, and some girls even grabbed the barbed wire and screamed excitedly. His nickname: "Milk orange! Milk orange!"
Li Huaicheng slipped and the ball in his hand was intercepted by the opponent. He gritted his teeth and stared at Zhou Ziyou who had just passed the ball to him.
Zhou Ziyou shrugged. He knew why Li Huaicheng stared at him. In fact, he had expected it when he heard someone call out the name "Naicheng".
Although Li Huaicheng's nickname has something to do with him, he can't be completely blamed. Thinking of this, Zhou Ziyou feels a little wronged.
I still remember that day he handed the pure milk he brought to Li Huaicheng as usual, and then the two of them drank milk together and read the questions together. Suddenly, a girl came over and rubbed his head, saying: "Ziyou drink milk obediently, really cute."
Zhou Ziyou was very angry, and told the girl not to rub his head like a child and not to talk to him in the tone of a child.
But the girl didn't care about his anger at all, and said righteously: "You want to do this because you are cute."
Zhou Ziyou saw Li Huaicheng who also drank milk but did not receive the same treatment as him, and said angrily, "That Cheng Zi also drank milk, why didn't you rub him?"
The girl glanced at Li Huaicheng who was doing the quiz, and the love in her eyes almost jumped out. Zhou Ziyou still remembered her rippling tone. She said: "Li Huaicheng is so gentle, handsome and cute, how could I bear to mess up his hair."
Zhou Ziyou was very angry. He always thought that Li Huaicheng was the same type as him, so he said, "I'm cute and handsome too, why are you rubbing me!"
The girl shook her head and said: "That's not true, you are two different kinds of cuteness, your cuteness means cuteness literally, and Huaicheng's cuteness means that it is easy to fall in love with, for example, when I see you, I just want to Rub your head, but when I saw Huai Cheng, I not only wanted to rub it, but also wanted to..."
The girl's yearning tone and expression made Zhou Ziyou understand what she hadn't finished speaking, but he was still very unconvinced, and said: "I'm white and he's white, why do you call me childish and call him handsome!"
"Because I only think you are cute when I see you, and I also want to fall in love with him when I see him." Seeing that Zhou Ziyou was puzzled, the female classmate who loves metaphors continued to explain: "How should I put it, it's like milk, although it tastes good. , but there is no other taste except for a touch of milk, and I don’t particularly want to drink it, but oranges are different. Not only the fragrance is attractive, but also the taste is sweet and sour, which makes people salivate and endless aftertaste! "
The girl's answer hurt Zhou Ziyou's heart. He pointed at Li Huaicheng and said loudly, "How could he make you want to fall in love? The milky white one is still drinking milk! He looks much more childish than me!"
Zhou Ziyou continued, "Even if it's an orange, it tastes like milk! Milky orange! Look at his face, which is whiter than mine, and the way he drinks milk! What a sour taste!" It's sweet, it only has the smell of milk!"
Since that day, Li Huaicheng's nickname of "Milk Orange" has spread throughout Deming.
Receiving Li Huaicheng's chilling gaze again, Zhou Ziyou was really wronged. Although the nickname came from him, it was not passed on by him. It was because those girls thought it was very appropriate that it spread so quickly. At most, he just did it unintentionally That's all.
"Ahhhh-"
Jiang Siyuan ended the game with their team's last three points. Hearing the enthusiastic screams outside the court, Zhou Ziyou knew that his chances of falling in love in Deming had dropped by more than ten percentage points again.
"Continue next time." A tall boy from the other team grabbed Zhou Ziyou's shoulders and said, "Li Huaicheng and Jiang Siyuan can't be on the same team next time. This is a fucking fight."
Zhou Ziyou raised his eyebrows proudly, "Of course, they are all my brothers. We, the Three Musketeers, unite and fight against Deming all over!"
Li Huaicheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, and when the tall boy let go of Zhou Ziyou, he pushed down Zhou Ziyou's head that had just been raised, and said with a gentle smile, "I drank milk at home this morning, wait for my milk I'll give you a drink."
Zhou Ziyou swallowed his saliva, and nodded in a doggy manner: "Drink, drink, drink later, drink it right away."
Jiang Siyuan also came over and put his arms around Li Huaicheng's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Cheng, you're really tired of playing basketball, let's play together next time."
Li Huaicheng looked up at Jiang Siyuan who was half a head taller than him, rubbed Zhou Ziyou's curly hair to regain his mental balance, and said with a smile, "Okay."
The three of them crossed their shoulders and walked towards the teaching building. It was difficult for the students outside the basketball court who were about to return to the classroom to take their eyes off their bright smiles. A girl burst out laughing suddenly and said to her companion: "You Have you noticed that the three of Zhou Ziyou and the others are just like a ladder, 1.6 meters, 1.7 meters, 1.8 meters, hahahahahaha..."
The companion couldn't help laughing after hearing the words.
The winter sun shone on the three people who were walking side by side towards the teaching building, dragging their shadows longer. The noisy bells and the bustling campus seemed to have become the background, forming a picture scroll most suitable for interpreting youth. Freezing this moment has made it difficult for many Deming students to forget this picture many years after graduation.
