3 Bay Street

Songcheng is huge, and the gap between the rich and the poor is also very obvious. The east district is the city center, with tall buildings and rich people gathering together; while the west district, especially the famous West Street, has poor security, low-rise bungalows, and garbage dumps everywhere. Of course, Chen is very familiar with it. He grew up here until he was ten years old.

He didn't know what was going on today, he suddenly wanted to go back and have a look.

Those who sell stinky tofu at small stalls, those who sit smoking at the door, and those who sell popsicles in the streets are noisy.

Walking in the crowd, suddenly there is an illusion like a world away.

A burst of mournful crying came over, An Chen was not a nosy person, but he only glanced at it, and immediately ran over.

Back then, he was young, but he still remembered that grandma Qi who would pass by the door every day. Grandma Qi was getting older, but unfortunately her son was not up to date and had no skills, and she had to support a grandson who was going to college. The stall sells pancakes and fruits.But today a few gangsters ran to his booth and insisted on collecting protection fees.

She already earns hard money, so why is she willing to pay protection fees?So I got entangled with those little bastards.

There were a lot of onlookers, but no one went up to help the old man.

An Chen pushed aside the crowd and kicked over. The little bastard was caught off guard and jumped in pain. When he let go of his hand, Grandma Qi hurriedly covered her wallet tightly in her arms.

Seeing An Chen wearing a high school uniform, the gangsters were not too scared, and slowly surrounded him, but at this moment, a voice sounded again:

"It's so lively, the pancakes here are so delicious?"

An Chen looked up, and saw Bai Xu coming out of the crowd. Those little gangsters were a little surprised to see him.

Bai Xu didn't even look at those people, he just walked up to the stall and said to Grandma Qi who was in shock:

"Give me a pancake fruit, I'm just hungry."

Grandma Qi gave a dumbfounded oh, and she calmed down a little when she saw that the gangsters were afraid to come forward.

After receiving the pancake fruit, Bai Xu gave the money, took a bite, and said to An Chen, "It's delicious, do you want to eat it?"

"No." An Chen said without hesitation.

Bai Xu clicked his tongue, then turned his head to look at those little bastards, and suddenly smiled:

"What? Do you want to eat too?"

Those punks shook their heads hurriedly.

"If you don't eat, what are you doing here? Why don't you get out of here?"

Those little bastards ran away again in a desperate manner.

Only then did Grandma Qi look at An Chen seriously. Her eyes are a little blurry now, and the ten-year-old child has grown up, so she naturally can't recognize him.

"You are……"

An Chen looked at the gray-haired old man with some sadness, and he wanted to ask her, do you remember the kid next door back then?

But for some reason, he didn't have the courage to speak.

Originally, not many people remembered him, and not many people treated him well. He was afraid of hearing answers he didn't want to hear.

He moved his lips, and finally said, "Give me ten pancakes, please."

When Grandma Qi heard this, she nodded happily several times: "Okay, okay, then wait a while."

"There's no rush." ​​After An Chen finished speaking, he stood patiently in front of the stall and waited for her to pack one by one.

Bai Xu interjected: "If I had known you bought so much, I wouldn't have bought it!"

An Chen looked back and saw that he was still there, and was a little surprised. He was even more surprised that he was obviously not familiar with this person, but Bai Xu's tone seemed to be the same.

"Isn't it ripe?" Bai Xu snatched a pancake fruit from him, and said while eating, "No way, you'll see me again in three days, by then it should be ripe even if it's not ripe."

Three days later it will be Saturday. An Chen made an appointment with Bai Minyuan a week ago to go to his place to learn painting this weekend. As soon as he got out of the car at the entrance of the villa, he saw Bai Xu kneeling in the hall. Bai Minyuan Angrily pointing and cursing with a feather duster.

He didn't have much contact with Bai Minyuan. Although the teacher had a weird temper, he spoke calmly. It was rare to see him so irritable.

Bai Minyuan saw An Chen coming in, so he pointed at An Chen with a feather duster and said, "Look at him, look at him, cut off this red hair for me tomorrow! What are you talking about!"

Bai Xu raised his head and blinked at An Chen, looking completely uneducated and in need of a beating.

Bai Minyuan sat back on the chair angrily.

Both Bai Xu's parents died very early. He brought up this grandson single-handedly. He originally hoped that this grandson would take over his mantle, but his grandson's character is very rebellious. You asked him to learn painting, but he just refused to learn, which made Bai Minyuan very headache , and finally gave up, and only then did he plan to accept a closed disciple.

He is an artist of the older generation, and he has always disliked his grandson's attire. This time Bai Xu came back with red hair, and he felt that if he didn't discipline him, his grandson would probably go crazy.

An Chen politely called out: "Teacher."

Seeing his little disciple coming, Bai Minyuan calmed down his anger, pointed to Bai Xu and said, "Kneel down and reflect on yourself, don't get up before eating."

After finishing speaking, he threw down the feather duster and asked An Chen to follow him into the study.

Until night fell, Bai Xu really knelt down to open dinner.

Seeing that he had been obedient and obedient for a while, Bai Minyuan was no longer angry.

After the meal, An Chen sat in the courtyard to rest, and Bai Xu rushed out from behind him: "Grandpa thought that the proud disciple he liked was so good, didn't he fight with someone a few days ago?"

An Chen glanced at him, but said nothing.

Bai Xu sat opposite him.

He has been paying attention to An Chen for a long time. It was a sensation when An Chen entered Yingren High School. Everyone knew that there was a student with a very tough background in the first year of senior high school. Even the principal Wang Yang ran out to greet him in person.But at that time, he just glanced at it briefly, and was not very interested in the boy, until his grandfather nagged in his ear that he had accepted a young apprentice.You know, there are too many people who want to be his grandfather's apprentice, but his grandfather is not easy to accept an apprentice. This time he accepted an apprentice, and it was said that he was in the same school as him, so he was curious and followed An Chen secretly for several days. I want to see what is so strange about this little disciple his grandfather took in.

"It's not the same," Bai Xu said, propping his head and staring at the person opposite.
