I surrender my foe with a kiss

In the first semester of high school, the new semester begins, with separate subjects in arts and sciences.

Most of the students in the third class chose science.

Cheng Huan originally thought that Jiang Chao would definitely choose liberal arts, after all, his grades depended on that.Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the classroom, he saw Jiang Chao sitting at the same table as Xiao Ci.

At this moment, Jiang Chao also raised his eyes and stared straight at him.

Cheng Huan felt a little guilty for some reason, avoided Jiang Chao's sight, walked to his seat with a sullen head, pulled out a chair, hung up his schoolbag, and sat down.

Then when he looked up, Jiang Chao was looking at him condescendingly.

"Where's Xiao Ci?" Jiang Chao raised his eyebrows.

Cheng Huan took a book from his schoolbag and shook his head.

Xiao Ciqian urged, and Wan asked not to tell Jiang Chao about his injury.

What's more, Cheng Huan himself doesn't really care about Jiang Chao.

"Don't say?" Jiang Chao sneered, leaning forward with his hands on the table.

He was already tall and straight, with stern facial features, and now when his face turned cold, it seemed that the temperature of his whole body dropped a few degrees.The few girls who entered the classroom saw the battle, no one dared to go in, they stood at the door of the classroom and whispered.

"I don't know." Cheng Huan replied with a straight neck, and Jiang Chao grabbed his collar and immediately lifted him up.His waist slammed into the table with a loud bang.

"What... do you want?" Cheng Huan gritted his teeth and said, a little out of breath from being strangled.

Jiang Chao leaned close to him and stared into his eyes, Cheng Huan felt dizzy for a while under Jiang Chao's close gaze.

"Since the Lantern Festival, he has ignored me. These days, he has been with you." Jiang Chao said.

Cheng Huan's eyelids twitched violently. During that time, Xiao Ci had been recuperating in the hospital and could not even touch his cell phone. Naturally, it was impossible to contact Jiang Chao.

Jiang Chao was nearly half a head taller than Cheng Huan, Cheng Huan looked up at him, and his voice couldn't help but tremble, "I really don't know!"

After a long silence, Jiang Chao chuckled, patted him on the shoulder, and as soon as he let go, Cheng Huan fell down and sat down.

"Good boy." Jiang Chao only left such a sentence.

gone.

After a while, Cheng Huan's heartbeat gradually calmed down.

During class, Cheng Huan peeked at Jiang Chao in the back row.

Finding that Jiang Chao couldn't block it, he swaggered on the table and played with his mobile phone.

Don't pay attention to the teacher on the podium at all.

Cheng Huan couldn't figure out how Xiao Ci, who was so self-reliant, could become such a good friend with such a playboy.

They are not from the same world at all.

Just because Jiang Chao is rich?

His thigh felt sore and numb, and Su Zhe, who was at the same table, used his nails to pinch and turn his thigh a little bit, the pain was so painful that he wished he could kick him away.

"Listen to the class, Huanhuan." Su Zhe tapped his pen on the physics textbook, "I'm still waiting to copy your notes."

Cheng Huan: "..."

On the other side, Jiang Chao stared at Xiao Ci's chat box on his phone, dazed for a while.

Then she tapped the screen with her slender fingers and sent a message: [The sky is very blue today, and the flowers in the yard are all blooming. 】

[The English teacher is chattering non-stop on the podium, I don't want to hear it at all when you're not here. 】

He typed and deleted the last sentence, deleted it and typed it, and repeated it several times.

In the end, he took a deep breath, threw the phone away, and sent it out: [If you don't come back, I'm going to turn over the whole class, you can figure it out yourself. 】

After waiting for Xiao Ci's reply for a long time, Jiang Chao lay on the table, almost falling asleep in a daze.

The phone suddenly "clanged".

At that time, the room was very quiet, but suddenly, the whole class heard it. The back of Li Lili, the English teacher, was still writing, and the hand holding the chalk was trembling almost imperceptibly.

Glancing back, it was Jiang Chao.Li Lili took a trembling breath, her face flushed with anger, but she still forced herself to hold back her anger.

After all, this kid has a great background. After criticizing Jiang Chao last semester, he was called by the principal to have a conversation.

No matter how big the temper is, it can only be tolerated at this moment.

Jiang Chao is also assigned to the teacher for playing with his mobile phone in class.

He knew that Xiao Ci liked Lao Yan, so he never played with Lao Yan in class.In the class of other teachers, he somewhat saved face and played under the table after mute.As for the English teacher who has always looked down on these "poor students", it would be good if he didn't turn up the volume to the maximum and swing his legs on the table while playing.

Of course, the most important thing is that this teacher found Xiao Ci faults more than once in different ways.

At this moment, he couldn't care about anything else, he grabbed the phone and unlocked the screen.

When moving towards the WeChat icon, his clean fingertips trembled slightly.

If it hadn't been sent by Xiao Ci, he would have killed the person who sent him a WeChat message when he was too idle.

The response speed of his mobile phone was extremely fast. Almost the moment he pressed it, the WeChat interface popped up.

Ci: [Missing brother? 】

Under the eyes of the whole class, their school bully Jiang Chao, who was always cold and stern, was staring at the phone with crooked eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth curled up and flattened, flattened and raised again.That smile was pure and lustful, it just made the girls lose their souls.

Chao: [I'm so inferior. 】

"Where did you die in the past half a month?" Jiang Chao typed these words in half, and then deleted them all.Xiao Ci didn't want to say it, so he didn't ask.

Jiang Chao only sent one sentence: [When will you return to school? 】

"The other party is typing..." was displayed on the chat box, and after a while, Xiao Ci sent over: 【It's not sure yet. 】

Jiang Chaodao: [Where are you?How about I go find you? 】

Ci: [Don't, don't. 】

Xiao Ci refused to let him go to him, so Jiang Chao could only look forward to the stars and the moon.Looking forward to the Friday afternoon of the second week, Jiang Chao originally thought that Xiao Ci would not come back this week.Unexpectedly, the back door of the classroom was pushed open.

For a moment, the whole class looked back in unison.

Jiang Chao stood up all of a sudden, with a shocked expression, and brought the chair down, oblivious to the bang.

He heard himself say, "Back?"

The boy in white clothes and trousers at the door had clean sleeves that were long enough to protect his wrists.Wearing a big mask, covering half of his face.The straight bridge of the nose propped up the mask in a graceful arc.He was wearing a peaked cap upside down, and his hair seemed to have been shaved and had just grown out.The short round inch makes the whole person extraordinarily energetic, and people can't help but want to touch it when they see it.

Xiao Ci nodded, pulled out the chair and sat down.

We haven't seen each other for more than a month, and we were a bit reserved before each other.Jiang Chao took out his textbook, which was so clean that it could be seen from others, and asked, "Do you want to copy your notes?"

Xiao Ci took out his book and paused: "...No."

After saying this sentence, Xiao Ci ignored Jiang Chao and concentrated on doing his Olympiad questions.

Inexplicably upset, Jiang Chao took away his Olympiad book.Xiao Ci had no choice but to raise his head slightly, but seemed to be avoiding Jiang Chao's eyes intentionally or unintentionally.

"Take off the mask," Jiang Chao frowned, "It's not too hot."

"I..." Xiao Ci said, "I'm allergic to pollen."

"There's no pollen in the house."

"I have pimples on my face...it's ugly." Xiao Ci said lightly, his eyelashes slightly drawn back.

Jiang Chao felt that this was awkward, and was about to raise his hand to take off Xiao Ci's mask when Old Yan came in for class.

Jiang Chao was afraid of making Xiao Ci unhappy, so instead of being arrogant in Lao Yan's class, he just squeezed Xiao Ci's thigh with his big hand under the table.

"Why are you so weird?" Jiang Chao leaned to the right and whispered in Xiao Ci's ear.

"Listen to the class." Xiao Ci whispered.

Jiang Chao was even more depressed. He felt that his position in Xiao Ci's heart was not as good as those few lessons that were neither salty nor bland.

He shook his leg vigorously to vent his dissatisfaction.

Xiao Ci is most annoyed by being interrupted while studying. If it was the last semester, he should have fought with him long ago.Who knows, this time, Xiao Ci buried his head and didn't respond at all.

It's as if his hair has been cut short, and his whole person has changed accordingly.

I can't tell what's different, but the youthful spirit that was burning like a flame seemed to be quietly hidden when no one noticed.

In March, the weather is already a bit hot, but it is not yet time to turn on the fan.Jiang Chao fanned the hem of his T-shirt to ventilate his lower abdomen, tilted his head, and found Xiao Ci lying on the table and fell asleep.

Jiang Chao was a little surprised, this was the first time he saw Xiao Ci sleeping in class.

He couldn't help itching in his heart, stretched out his little finger, gently lifted the mask strap behind Xiao Ci's ear, took off the mask, held his breath, and looked at Xiao Ci's half cheek.

A dark red scar lay horizontally under Xiao Ci's lips, dormant like a scorpion.

Jiang Chao frowned, rubbed his thumb on the scar, and then immediately retracted, as if his hand was hot.

Xiao Ci was awakened by the touch, and looked at him with red eyes.

"How did you do it?" Jiang Chao said in a bad tone.

Xiao Ci reacted for a while before he understood what he was talking about, and immediately blocked his chin subconsciously, and then realized that his behavior was very ridiculous.

"Let me ask you, how did you get the injury on your chin?" Jiang Chao didn't give him any room to evade answering.

"I rubbed against it," Xiao Ci said, "I was rubbed against by a tree branch on the way to school."

"..." Jiang Chao didn't continue to ask, Xiao Ci finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, when school was over, Jiang Chao pestered him again.

Jiang Chao ran two quick steps with his long legs to keep up, clasped his arms around his shoulders, and with a strong tug, he pulled Xiao Ci to his side.

"Don't make trouble," Xiao Ci glanced around while wearing a mask, "There are so many people around."

"Why didn't you do anything wrong?" Jiang Chao hooked his neck, "Come with me."

"Where are you going?" Xiao Ci asked.

"send you home."

Jiang Chao opened the door of his Rolls Royce, and made a very gentlemanly "please" gesture.

Xiao Ci took a look at him, unbelievable, "Have you reached eighteen yet?"

Jiang Chao smiled: "When we arrive, he will be old enough to be your grandfather."

Xiao Ci: "Get lost."

Jiang Chao: "Just kidding, I'm a few years older than my age is written on my ID card."

Xiao Ci: "Fuck! Then I dare not ride in your car."

Jiang Chao: "Well, no matter how unreliable I am, I'm better than you who can scratch a tree branch while walking. If you are old, don't be disgusted, get in the car quickly."

Xiao Ci was forced on the co-pilot seat by Jiang Chao, he threw his schoolbag to the back row, took off his mask, took a few breaths of fresh air, and still did not forget to taunt Jiang Chao: "Take it easy, this is not a park. bumper cars."

Jiang Chao put on his sunglasses and started the engine, "Why, Master Xiao, are you afraid that I'm not exciting enough to drive?"

"Don't dare," Xiao Ci smiled, "Master Jiang's suitors range from Conghua Pai to Nansha, how dare I dislike Young Master Jiang?"

Jiang Chao snorted coldly, looked at him, "Are you jealous?"

Xiao Ci: "Oh."

Jiang Chao stretched out his big hand and squeezed the soft flesh on the back of Xiao Ci's neck, "Don't be embarrassed to face your heart, admit it, after all, it's not shameful to be jealous of an excellent man like me."

"You continue to be smug, I'm leaving." Xiao Ci pulled up the schoolbag belt in the back row, and was about to open the door and get out of the car.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Chao was one step ahead and locked the car door. He stomped on the gas pedal and said, "Sit still. You are welcome. Master Xiao, Xiao Jiangzi will send you home right away."

Jiang Chao's car was driving very fast, the black body of the car passed through the avenue full of flowers and trees at high speed, kicking up a cloud of flower dust.Xiao Ci propped his chin and looked out the car window, thinking about Jiang Chao's drawer full of pink love letters that he saw during the day.

A figure carrying a heavy schoolbag and walking alone passed by the car window, Xiao Ci opened his eyes wide, and when he turned his head to take a closer look, the car had already driven a long way.

"Which little girl is so beautiful, who can fascinate our young master Xiao like this?" Jiang Chao drove the car intently, still able to pay attention to Xiao Ci's every move.

"I seem to see Cheng Huan." Xiao Ci said.

Jiang Chao said "Oh" and stopped talking.

"He was walking home with a big schoolbag on his back, and he was alone, among the crowd... strangely lonely."

Jiang Chao didn't even say "Oh" this time.

Xiao Ci couldn't bear it, "Why don't we go back and pick him up, his house is not far from mine."

Jiang Chao took a breath, and when he spoke again, his voice became cold, "No."

"why?"

"Do you think anyone can get in my car?" Jiang Chao's voice was irritated, full of displeasure, "I don't think it's dirty?"

Xiao Ci was choked to death by his words, not knowing whether Jiang Chao was joking or what.

Jiang Chao glanced at Xiao Ci, but hesitated to speak.

Jiang Chao kept sending Xiao Ci downstairs to his house, watched him go upstairs, and then drove away.

In May, the weather is getting hotter and the cicadas are singing.The school road is full of overripe mangoes, exuding a sweet and sour smell after fermentation. Kapok blooms all over Baiyun Mountain, and half of the sky is smoked red.

Xiao Ci stood in the corridor on the third floor and looked down.

On the playground behind the teaching building, a tense physical education exam is going on.

This year, Huacheng Middle School was selected as the examination room for the physical education entrance examination.Huazhong students are not allowed to enter the playground during the exam period.Many students complained about this, because their precious physical education class twice a week has suddenly become a battlefield for teachers of various subjects to divide up.

Xiao Ci didn't care much about it.

Anyway, in physical education class, he was doing Mathematical Olympiad questions.

It's the same now, he was tired from studying, so he stood in the corridor to relieve his tense muscles, and relax his eyes by the way.

He doesn't want to be short-sighted at a young age like Jiang Chao.

Speaking of Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived, Jiang Chao put his arm on his shoulder and stared at his profile, "What are you looking at?"

Xiao Ci pointed to the boy in the third grade of junior high school who was running 1000 meters on the playground: "Look, that."

Jiang Chao didn't wear glasses, so he had to squint his eyes: "Run to the last one?"

"Yes," Xiao Ci nodded.

Jiang Chao stretched his neck forward: "No, is that kid number one or last? Why are there so many people behind him?"

"He's the last one," Xiao Ci said, "The people behind him passed him by a whole lap."

Just as he was talking, that "down one" was easily overtaken by the tall sports student behind him.In the blink of an eye again, "Falling One" disappeared into the crowd - was overtaken by a group of people.

"Damn," Jiang Chao sighed in admiration, "Is this kid coming to his aunt? How can he run so slowly?"

"..." Xiao Ci: "Look at his legs, are they a little lame?"

"It's really..." Having said that, Jiang Chao also noticed that the kid who ran last was not only short and small, but also limped when he ran, and his posture was quite ugly.

"The last one" ran for a full 6 minutes before finishing the 1000-meter distance. Almost all the teachers on the finish line stood up to "greet" him——finally, if he didn't finish, all the candidates behind The test time has to be pushed back.

"The last one" ran across the finish line, panting, and slowly sat on the grass, hugging his knees and huddled up.

Bai Shengsheng's two legs were dazzlingly bright.

"It's estimated to be hypoxic, and it will take a while." Jiang Chao said.

Xiao Ci: "How do you know, you haven't participated in physical education in the high school entrance examination."

Jiang Chao: "I've never eaten pork, haven't I seen a pig run?"

Xiao Ci: "..."

It makes fucking sense.

Jiang Chao patted Xiao Ci on the shoulder, "Class is about to start, let's go back to the classroom."

Xiao Ci followed Jiang Chao and walked in, approaching the classroom, couldn't help but glanced in the direction of the playground.

The child had already got up, and was lowering his head, talking to a boy who was a whole head taller than him.

Xiao Ci scored 30 points for the 29-point physical education exam at this time last year.

He ran to school every day since he was a child, running and standing long jump, and he got full marks without much effort.But he was too skinny and only scored nine points in medicine ball.

The high school entrance examination sports are divided into 1000 meters, standing long jump, and medicine ball. Even if you don't participate, you can get a minimum score of six points in each event.The total score is guaranteed, and at least [-] points can be obtained.The little cripple limped like that, whether he ran or not ran was the same six points.But he still chose to run down with a limp.Among other things, Xiao Ci felt that the child was still very persistent.

In class, Xiao Ci rarely listened to him.

After school at noon, Xiao Ci didn't go to the cafeteria to eat, but walked to the playground.

It was very hot, and in places without shade, the concrete floor was scorched by the sun, and my feet felt hot even through the soles of my shoes.

In the square outside the playground, there are several buses parked to pick up and drop off the physical education candidates.Probably because there are still people who haven't finished the exam, so the bus shows no signs of leaving.In front of the bus, there were several teams of third-year junior high school students.They were wearing uniform school uniforms, crowded together, each and every one of them looked like wilted vegetable seedlings, listless.

Xiao Ci walked outside the crowd, his eyes swept across the strange young faces.

Several little girls with braided hair saw him, covered their mouths, and whispered to each other with smiles.

To be honest, Xiao Ci was very unsure, and he didn't even know why he came here.

Just... walked down without knowing it.

He was looking for something, in the sea of ​​people who seemed almost the same.

Turning around, a small man stood close to his back, which startled Xiao Ci.

Although when he was upstairs, he couldn't see his face at all, but when he stood in front of him, Xiao Ci still reacted instantly.

Oh, that's him.

The last one in the 1000m run.

Xiao Ci looked at the little guy.

He looks quite handsome, but unfortunately, he feels so dull...he is dull and dull, especially the big and thick eyes on the bridge of the nose, and the bottom of the wine bottle, just looking at it makes people feel suffocated.I don't know if the little guy is breathing well.

When Xiao Ci saw him, the little guy immediately lowered his head, so Xiao Ci's first impression of him was only half a second.

Xiao Ci wanted to ask him why he was looking for him.It's a pity that the little guy didn't say a word, just like a primary school student being punished by the teacher, nailed to the ground with his head down, motionless.The short distance was quite close, which made Xiao Ci quite embarrassed.

As soon as he looked up, Xiao Ci noticed something was wrong.

About five meters away from them, under the shade of a big pagoda tree, stood a few smoking boys, also wearing junior high school uniforms, all of them were quite tall, all of them had unfriendly expressions and looked like a fool.

They are now staring at Xiao Ci, to be precise, the little guy next to Xiao Ci.

Xiao Ci understood.

Junior high school has always been the most frequent stage for campus bullying.The boys began to enter puberty with hormonal riots, and each of them was very restless.Some people develop early, and when they enter junior high school, they are 1.8 meters tall;However, junior high school is also a stage where people widen the gap between people. Unlike high school, they both know something and know how to restrain themselves.Moreover, people flock together and divide into groups. Students who are good at learning go to one school, and students who are not good at learning go to one school. No matter how big the gap is between classmates, it is a matter of one for one and one for two.This is not the case in junior high school. In the future, those who are admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, and those who are studying in technical secondary schools, or even those who graduate from junior high school and work directly, may live under the same roof.That's it, it's a ghost if there is no campus bullying.

When Xiao Ci first entered junior high school, he was often bullied by other boys in his class because of malnutrition and short stature.Fortunately, Xiao Ci is not the kind of person who suffers from anger. When he can't bear it anymore, he will hold down the leader who drags the sky and the ground and beat him violently.Although he was seriously injured, he managed to subdue all those guys with his fists.

Xiao Ci looked at the little guy.

She is short; thin and small; introverted; she looks juicy, like a little girl; she looks like the kind of schoolmaster who is dead on studying... and the most important thing is that she is a little cripple with a disability.

Undoubtedly the chosen doormat.

Xiao Ci said, "What's the matter?"

"Ah, no, nothing..." The little guy blushed and stood still.

It's okay to insist on standing in front of him, Xiao Ci is more sure of his thoughts.This kid is treating him as a lifeline.He was wearing a flowery school uniform, and he didn't have a kind face. Those few tall boys in the third grade of junior high school didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of him.

Just as he was thinking, one of the tall boys came towards them, and he was about to hook the little guy's shoulders, and he probably would pretend to be close and take him away in the next step.

Xiao Ci raised his eyebrows at the right time: "Are you hungry and can't find the cafeteria?"

"...Yes." The little guy called out in a low voice.

"Then come with me," Xiao Ci hurriedly took him away before the tall boy arrived.

On the way, Xiao Ci called out, "Xu Cong?"

"Ah?" The little guy was startled, raised his head, and opened his mouth slightly, "Why do you..."

"Your meal card is exposed." Xiao Ci said.

The little guy lowered his head, only to find that his meal card hanging around his neck with a red string was bouncing up and down with his limping walking posture.

"..."

"Is it okay not to go back to school with the bus?" Xiao Ci asked.

Maybe because Xiao Ci didn't mean anything malicious, Xu Cong became bolder: "It's fine, I can go home by myself."

Xiao Ci nodded, took Xu Cong to sit down in the cafeteria, ordered two meals, handed one to Xu Cong, and broke open the disposable chopsticks and handed it to Xu Cong.

Only then did the child realize that Xiao Ci had given him a meal, and he waved his hands anxiously, signaling no need, and probably soon realized that it was too late for him to say no, so he had to take the chopsticks that Xiao Ci handed to him, and said embarrassingly , "Thank you bro."

Xiao Ci didn't say anything, and he didn't speak any more during the whole meal.It was almost the end of the meal, and guessing that the group of children who bullied Xu Cong should leave, Xiao Ci got up and wanted to go back to the classroom to continue studying.

Xu Cong stopped him, "...brother."

When these words came out of a boy's mouth, those who called him and those who listened were embarrassed, but helplessly, there seemed to be nothing else to call him except brother.

Xiao Ci turned to look at him, Xu Cong limped over, lowered his head and said, "Brother, that, can I ask you for a WeChat?"

"When I get home, use my parents' mobile phone to add you, and transfer the meal money to you."

Xiao Ci thought it was a bit funny, and originally wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, he was afraid of hurting the child's self-esteem.So he told Xu Cong his WeChat ID.

A few days later, Xiao Ci received a friend request from Xu Cong.After Xu Cong transferred the meal money to him, the two never spoke again.

It didn't take long for Xiao Ci to forget about this incident.

This semester is shorter than previous years, and under the arrangement of the school, Xiao Ci started to study the Olympiad courses systematically, so he is very busy every day.Fortunately, since Jiang Chao studied in Huazhong, Jiang Chao's father, Chairman Jiang, donated a huge scholarship to Huazhong.And Xiao Ci as Cheng
