Cheng Si accompanied Lin Zhi to the bus that brought them here. The driver was the only one in the bus now. He was humming a song on the radio and eating takeout, looking quite leisurely and comfortable. He saw two people coming over, one of them was still wet.

He instantly perked up, looking at Lin Zhi's pitiful appearance. It was obvious that he was being bullied. His son was only about the same age, and seeing a child of the same age being bullied, he also became angry.

He immediately opened the car door, let the two in, took the towel from his car and handed it to them, "Hey, little classmate, wipe it quickly, what's wrong, were you bullied?" Seeing Lin Zhi's red eyes, he felt even more empathy, turned into an old father, and softened his voice, "Tell me if you have any grievances. I will report the situation to your teacher later and will never let you suffer any grievances."

Lin Zhi shook his head, his voice a little hoarse, "Thank you, uncle, no one bullied me."

The driver didn't believe him when he saw his expression. It was obvious that he was a good kid who was bullied but didn't dare to tell his parents. But since the child didn't want to say anything, there was nothing he could do, so he could only mention it to their teacher later.

The driver sighed and changed the subject, "Your clothes are all wet, you will get sick. Uncle has a blanket to cover you." Then he went to find a blanket.

Before he could give Lin Zhi the blanket, there was a gentle knock on the door.

The driver leaned over to take a look and exclaimed,

"Classmate, you are not from our school, what's the matter?"

"Uncle, open the door, I'm looking for someone!" The voice was a little hurried.

"I'm here to look for someone!" he said as he was about to open the door.

Lin Zhi suddenly yelled, "Don't open the door!" His voice was hoarse.

The driver was startled and stopped moving. He looked at Lin Zhi in confusion. Seeing his sad expression, he seemed to understand something. "Did he bully you?"

Lin Zhi shook his head, "No, no one bullies me."

"Lin Zhi, you were bullied. Why didn't you tell me when you came?!" The man at the door was a little angry and knocked on the door a little harder this time. "Uncle, open the door. I'm his brother."

Lin Zhi grabbed Cheng Si's hand. Cheng Si stood beside him and looked down at him. Lin Zhi's eyes looked very sad.

Cheng Si looked at him and seemed to understand something. He opened a window beside the door and looked at Ji Quanhe at the door. "Classmate, you should go back first. He doesn't want to see you now."

Ji Quanhe raised his head and met Cheng Si's gaze with sharp eyes. Cheng Si looked back without dodging. Ji Quanhe was stunned for a moment. He saw a calmness and courage in the eyes of a boy three years younger than him that did not belong to his age.

Ji Quanhe snorted, "It's not your turn to meddle in his affairs."

Cheng Si felt that this man was a little different from the first time he met him. Originally he just felt that he was cold, but now he realized the bad character in this man. If he had not lived a few more years, Cheng Si would have been defeated by him.

Just as Cheng Si was about to say something, he heard a lazy voice, "Hey, what are you doing?" Cheng Si looked up and saw Jin Li, whom he had met not long ago, walking towards him. Cheng Si fell silent.

The school gate where Jin Li got the takeaway was just here. When he came in, he saw two people in a tense confrontation. He began to have a different opinion of Cheng Si. When they first met, he just thought that this man was quite eye-catching, otherwise Jin Yue would not be so shameless to talk to him. Now they have met several times a day, and each time is different. He has become a little curious about this man, and even now he admires him a little. After all, he is only fifteen or sixteen years old and he is challenging Ji Quanhe, who has grown up in the mud.

But he couldn't just stand there and watch, otherwise he really wouldn't know how it would end. He knew Ji Quanhe's character, and he really didn't know what he would do later.

Jin Li coughed, put his hand on Ji Quanhe's shoulder and patted him, "Brother He, you are just a kid, and you are fighting with him!" Then he looked up at Cheng Si, "Little classmate, please open the door, we still have to solve the problem, right?" After that, he shouted to Lin Zhi, "Linlin, you haven't eaten yet, Brother Jin brought you food, please open the door for me!"

Cheng Si looked at the takeaway in his hand, made an estimate in his mind, and looked back at Lin Zhi. Lin Zhi was silent for a while, nodded, and said, "Open it."

The driver, who had watched a show, opened the door in a daze. The plot seemed like the melodramas he usually watched. It was a love quadrangle. They all looked like celebrities, but how could men be in love? He shook his head and felt that he might have been obsessed with watching TV dramas. They probably all knew each other and were classmates having a conflict.

Jin Li stopped Ji Quanhe who was about to go in and said, "Take it easy. At least let people have a meal first."

Ji Quanhe's expression was tense, "I know."

Jin Li handed him the takeaway and made way for him. "You owe me a favor," he said, looking up at Cheng Si with a smile, "Little classmate, will you accompany me for dinner?"

Cheng Si actually didn't want to go with him, but staying here at this moment would only make it more awkward.

The other person was kind enough to help him out, so it was not appropriate for Cheng Si to show his displeasure. So he nodded and said okay.

Cheng Si whispered to Lin Zhi, "Everything needs to be resolved, otherwise it will be stuck there."

Lin Zhi nodded.

Cheng Si said again, "If you have any questions, call me."

Lin Zhi said "hmm" and Cheng Si said nothing more and got out of the car.

Jin Li shielded his head and said, "Let's go." It was still drizzling.

Cheng Si did not refuse this time. As if he remembered something, he picked up his phone to check the time. It was already past one o'clock. He clicked on WeChat and asked for leave for himself and Lin Zhi in the group.

Jin Li beside him suddenly chuckled, and Cheng Si looked at him in confusion.

Jin Li raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you say you don't have a cell phone?"

Cheng Si recalled and felt a little embarrassed when he was exposed. He also thought this person was really strange. Why did he suddenly bring up this? He hurriedly changed the subject and asked, "What are we going to eat later?"

Jin Li cooperated and didn't talk about this topic anymore. "It's past dinner time now, do you want to eat noodles?"

"Sure," Cheng Si followed Jin Li into a noodle restaurant. The environment was quite good, with a bit of literary feel. There was a wall covered with sticky notes. Cheng Si went over curiously. There should be some messages left by students nearby, such as good luck on the exam, complaints about life, daily fun things, etc. Some of them were quite interesting.

Before he could read a few posts, Jin Li pulled him to sit down and said, "Little boy, eat first. After that, you can watch as much as you want."

Cheng Si touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

"See what you want to eat." Jin Li handed over the menu. Cheng Si took it, looked at it, and said lightly, "Pork belly and brain noodles."

Jin Li curled his lips, "Such a strong taste?"

"It's obviously delicious," Cheng Si disagreed.

Jin Li didn't say anything else and ordered a bowl of pig belly noodles. There were not many people in the restaurant, so their meals were served soon. They didn't communicate with each other and just ate their noodles quietly, mainly because they were really hungry.

When they were almost done eating, Jin Li finished first and paid the bill. Cheng Si pursed her lips and said, "How much is it? I'll scan the money for you."

"Okay, then add me on WeChat," Jin Li agreed readily.

Cheng Si was actually talking about the payment code, but it was difficult to refuse at this time, so he added WeChat.

The two walked out of the store and it was no longer raining. They were almost at the school gate.

Jin Li asked Cheng Si where he was going.

"I'll go back to the car first, and then go back to school with my classmates after this," Cheng Si said, looking at Jin Li, "You have classes in the afternoon, right?"

Jin Li nodded, looked at the time and saw that it was almost two o'clock. The lunch break was almost over, so he waved to Cheng Si, and walked towards the teaching building without planning to go back to the dormitory.

Cheng Si looked at his back for a long time. This might be the closest they had ever been. He calmed down and walked towards the car. The driver was the only one in the car. "Cheng Si asked where Officer Lin was."

"He was taken away by that fierce boy, who said he was taking him to change his wet clothes."

Cheng Si nodded and thanked him, found a seat by the window and sat down, then sent a transfer to Jin Li, thinking that he would delete him once he received it. It was better not to have excessive socializing. Cheng Si felt that he should stay away from this man and not get involved again.

There was nothing to do at the moment, and thinking about the umbrella he had not returned, he sent a message to the girl who borrowed the umbrella from him in the morning to ask how to return the umbrella. The girl replied quickly and said that she happened to be having a class in a nearby teaching building and was coming from the dormitory, so she could pick it up. Cheng Si later delivered the umbrella to the girl's classroom.

When they returned to the car, Lin Zhi was already in the car. He changed into a loose black T-shirt and shorts, with his eyes closed. Cheng Si did not disturb him. He sat in the seat in front of him, took out his mobile phone, connected the earphones and played some soft music, and also leaned against the window and dozed off with his eyes closed.
