There are several high schools in the county, and Shude is the best one. It is also the school that offered the best conditions to Huo Yan when he was admitted to junior high school. Not only free tuition and textbook fees, but also free board and lodging. He only has printed test papers and The money for the materials needs to be borne by yourself.

Shude will give him a scholarship every semester. It stands to reason that even if Huo Yan's family is difficult, studying is no burden for him.

However, there is Huo Gan behind Huo Yan.

The scholarship issued by the school every semester will be directly transferred to Huo Gan's card. Naturally, Huo Gan will not take out the money for Huo Yan to use, but use it to play cards and drink by himself, because Yang Jinhua is not here, and he also cheated on a widow Naturally, the money will not be kept by Huo Yan.

Jian Yao knew that Huo Gan didn't expect to enjoy the blessings of his own son like Yang Jinhua, he just believed that even if Huo Yan was an adopted son, if he didn't let him die of cold and starvation, then he had fulfilled his duty as a "father". Huo Yan must provide for him in the old age, otherwise he has no conscience and should be scolded by everyone pointing at his spine.

So Huo Gan became more righteous and confident, and he would never have the slightest bit of uneasy conscience.

No one in this book loves Huo Yan. His biological parents don't know his existence. Even if they knew, they have more affection for the adopted son than for him. His adoptive parents don't love him either. The adoptive mother is full of eyes only for the biological son. , The adoptive father doesn't even have feelings for his own son.

Thinking of this, Jian Yao's heart softened a little.

They have already reached the school gate of Shude High School. It is summer vacation now, the school gate is closed, and the faculty and staff are also on vacation. Only the security guard is still sitting in the security booth at the entrance. Occasionally, there is a small door next to the faculty and staff when they come in and out. will be opened.

Jian Yao looked into the school through the gate.

Compared with the high school he attended before, the environment of this high school will obviously be worse, but it is not much worse.

There are various snack bars, breakfast shops and small supermarkets in front of the school. Although school is not open, many students are still used to eating near the school.

"Do you want to drink milk tea?" Huo Yan stood beside Jian Yao, the sunlight happened to be on Huo Yan's side, Jian Yao who was standing beside him was shorter than Huo Yan, the direct sunlight on his face was covered by Huo Yan .

At this moment, Jian Yao felt that his mouth was dry from the sun, and he really wanted to drink something, but it was different from before, now he had money in his bag.

Jian Anzhi did not raise Jian Yao richly, but he did not raise Jian Yao poorly either.

"Let me invite you." Jian Yao wiped the sweat from his forehead, he stood in the sun, his skin was so white that it seemed to be glowing, beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks, almost everyone who passed by was looking at him .

It's just that everyone who looks at him seems to be admiring a painting, and Jian Yao is the person in the painting.

Huo Yan's gaze fell from Jian Yao's forehead to the tip of his nose, his expression relaxed for a second, and then he put on his usual smile: "Let me treat you, it's not expensive."

"If you have money, save it." Jian Yao looked at the small shop in front of the school, and he said naturally, "Your family must not be able to count on it. It will be convenient to save more money when something happens."

After speaking, Jian Yao was stunned.

He had only known Huo Yan for two days, but he was subconsciously planning for Huo Yan.

But Jian Yao thinks that he is not a familiar character.

After thinking for a few seconds, Jian Yao thinks that either Huo Yan's character is too good or too harmless, making it hard for people to be defensive when facing him.

Either he has a lot of sympathy, and if he gets angry while reading a book, he will still feel pitiful for Huo Yan when he sees a real person.

When he finished his daze and self-examination, he looked up and saw that Huo Yan had already bought milk tea and was walking towards him from the door of the milk tea shop.

There was a layer of water droplets on the outside of the iced milk tea cup, and the water droplets flowed down Huo Yan's hands to his wrists, and then slowly dripped or disappeared.

Jian Yao stood by the tree beside the road, watching Huo Yan getting closer to him.

Just when Jian Yao was about to take the milk tea, Huo Yan suddenly withdrew his hand, and his tone was gentle: "It's a bit cold, I'll cushion it for you."

Huo Yan wrapped a paper towel around the body of the cup, and handed it to Jian Yao after making sure that his hands would not be frozen.

Jian Yao stood there, pursing his lips, but he could feel a warm current flowing through his body.

Knowing that Huo Yan's thoughtfulness is out of habit, Jian Yao still feels warm.

No one would be so considerate to him before.

Hey, Jian Yao sighed in his heart, if Huo Yan is not a person in the book, but in reality, with his appearance and personality, even if his family has no money, he will definitely become a man of the school, boys and girls will like him.

It's a pity that Huo Yan was "born" in a novel with an abusive male protagonist at its core.

"Is there any result about your father's matter?" Jian Yao took a sip of milk tea, and served a sip of iced milk tea in the hot summer, Jian Yao's whole body trembled comfortably, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his whole body exuded the taste of happiness.

Huo Yan looked at him, Jian Yao's hair was slightly orange in the sun, the natural curly hair looked fluffy and soft, Huo Yan's fingers moved slightly.

"I lost money." Huo Yan said calmly, "The other party will not pursue it."

After all, they are neighbors, and they have known each other for so many years, not to mention that even if Huo Gan is sent to jail, it is meaningless if the owner cannot get the money back.

This result is also expected.

In the original novel, it was Huo Gan and Yang Jinhua who were unwilling to pay compensation, so the owner killed Huo Yan and sent him to a labor camp.

Huo Gan and his wife almost ruined Huo Yan's life for tens of thousands of dollars.

Thinking of this, Jian Yao wanted to swear, but he held back and said seriously: "You have to think about yourself, your parents..."

"It's nothing." Huo Yan interrupted Jian Yao softly, and he smiled, "I'm used to it."

Jian Yao was speechless: "...This is not a good habit."

"Forget it." Jian Yao turned his head, "Where are we going later?"

The school cannot enter now, so he can only walk around the surrounding area. Jian Yao looked up at a branch protruding from the school wall. For a moment, he couldn't tell what kind of tree it was. Leaking through the gaps in the leaves, it looks like a painting.

"Do you still want to go shopping?" Huo Yan asked considerately, "If you don't want to, we will go back. If you still want to go shopping, I will take you to the new city."

It's not yet two o'clock in the afternoon, and there's nothing to do when I go back. Jian Yao also wants to walk more, so that he won't be so irritable when he thinks about things while walking. He glanced at Huo Yan: "Then let's go."

The two walked through the zebra crossing, and Huo Yan suddenly asked: "Why did you move here? The educational resources and living environment here should not be as good as the capital, okay?"

He asked naturally, and Jian Yao didn't notice anything wrong, so he followed the memory of "Jian Yao" and said: "My mother and I both feel that moving here will make us feel comfortable, and my mother also needs to change the environment to create. In the capital, I have to take the subway for an hour to commute to and from school every day, which is still relatively small.”

"And my mother and I really like this house now." Jian Yao thinks that this is actually the key point.

The detached house also has a small courtyard. There are vines in the courtyard and paths paved with stones. It is easy to take care of. The furniture in the house is full of strong rural style, which is fresh and comfortable. Although I only lived in it for a while It was late, but Jian Yao now fully understands why the mother and son of the Jian family moved here.

"And now I have online classes every night." Jian Yao, "The teacher has already talked about the knowledge points of the second year of high school."

However, according to Jian Yao, who just finished the college entrance examination, these knowledge points are just a review.

He is not a genius, but he has made more efforts than ordinary people to change his destiny, so the knowledge he has learned is still firmly in his mind.

"And the college entrance examination still has to go back to take the exam." Jian Yao sucked the pearls at the bottom of the cup, the pearls blocked the straw, Jian Yao pushed hard, the pearls and milk tea poured into his mouth together, making him almost spit it out.

But even without spraying, some milk tea overflowed from the corner of the mouth.

Embarrassed, Jian Yao wanted to find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

"I have paper here." Huo Yan handed over a piece of paper.

Jian Yao: "Why do I feel that you have everything, how many things do you prepare every time you go out?"

He took a tissue to wipe off the milk tea at the corner of his mouth, and then Huo Yan replied: "Nothing, the tissue key, nothing else."

"You." Jian Yao looked at Huo Yan's shoulder, "What do you say when I ask you, don't always be so honest."

"Let's go, let's go shopping, and I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

In fact, there is nothing to go shopping in a small county town. There are only a few streets in the new city, and there are not many people. Especially in the afternoon, students on vacation will not play on the street even if they are crazy. Adults have to work, and the elderly I also spend most of my time resting at home, only going out for a walk at night.

Walk around the old city and the new city, and it's only five o'clock in the afternoon.

"Go back over there." Huo Yan walked in front, holding two bottles of water and a bag of fruit in his hands, but he didn't look tired or exhausted at all. In contrast, Jian Yao was much more relaxed. He only carried a bag of spices.

Jian Yao: "Give me the fruit, I can afford it."

Huo Yan turned his head to look at Jian Yao, he looked straight into Jian Yao's eyes, as expected, Jian Yao shifted his gaze again, no matter what, he was unwilling to look at people for a long time, Huo Yan said softly: "I am older than you , taking care of you is the right thing to do."

Jian Yao almost blurted out who is older than whom?

Now Huo Yan is only seventeen, but he himself is already eighteen.

However, he couldn't say that, so Jian Yao could only clear his throat: "Then you can bring something home when you go back."

After speaking, he exhorted: "Eat it yourself! Don't give it to others."

Huo Yan was very obedient: "Okay, I will remember."

Jian Yao: "Anyway, you have to take care of what's yours. Don't give it to others, and don't trust those chicken soup. What's yours is yours. If you don't fight for it, nothing can be yours."

"I know." Huo Yan's lips parted slightly, and his voice was very soft.

He understood this truth a long time ago.

Nothing in this world belongs to him.

What he wants has to be taken by himself, to grab it.

Even if you destroy that thing, you won't let others get it.

They walked into an alley, and they could save a lot of walking by passing through here. The alley is very narrow, and there are gates of the residents here on both sides. Some of the gates are open and they are doing business. There are small shops and "haircuts". , when he was almost at the end, Jian Yao saw a game hall.

Of course, the game hall opened in this kind of place is not too serious, there are people playing billiards inside, and there are slot machines in front of the store.

A few students were "fighting" in front of the slot machine, and there were many people watching the excitement behind them. The store owner looked at them with arms folded. His white vest had been worn to the point of yellowing. He found Jian Yao looking inside. The owner greeted them immediately. Said: "Little handsome guy! Come in and have a look!"

Jian Yao waved his hand: "No, thank you."

The boss continued to greet: "I have everything here, and there are computers in the back. I have all the games in Internet cafes here, and the price is cheaper than Internet cafes."

"Don't go!"

The boss poked his head out eagerly: "Do you want to buy cigarettes? I have loose cigarettes here, and I sell them one by one."

"There are fifty cents!" The boss wanted to shake Jian Yao's shoulder and let him buy it.

When I was in school, there was such a game hall near Jianyao School. The machines were old, but it was crowded with people every day. The students didn’t have much money. A few people pooled their money to play a few tables of billiards and buy a few cigarettes to kill the time. afternoon time.

But Jian Yao himself never went in.

A few dollars is not much to others, but to Jian Yao, it is a day's food money.

Although his tuition fees have been waived, he still needs to pay for books and living expenses by himself. He saves all the money for bursaries, and plans to go to college without borrowing student loans.

As a result, the money saved now was wasted like this...

"Huo Yan!" A familiar voice came from the game hall.

Jian Yao sighed inwardly. Before he could pull Huo Yan away, the people inside rushed out.

Li Heng, who was still holding a pool cue in his hand, had a cheap loose cigarette dangling from his mouth. He probably had been killing time here in the afternoon, and there was a lot of dust on his clothes. Behind him were no longer the original servants. On the contrary, there were quite a few more people. At a rough glance, there could be more than ten people.

"Just now we said that it would be great if you were here." Li Heng seemed to have no memory of how he bullied Huo Yan before, and said in a familiar tone, "Okay, you stay, we are going to fight in a group later, Count yourself in."

Is this person out of his mind? !

Has it become a gift to the other party to let someone fight for you?

What brain circuit is this? ? ?

Li Heng: "Anyway, after this experience, you will be our brother in the future. No one dares to bully you at school or outside. If anyone touches you, it will be difficult for all of us."

"Is that right?" Li Heng turned his head and asked the brothers standing behind him.

Although the brothers felt puzzled, they still answered loudly with dignity: "That's for sure!"

Jian Yao really wanted to directly refuse for Huo Yan, but he had no position, he was just Huo Yan's neighbor, not even a friend, no matter how straightforward he refused, what's the use if Huo Yan couldn't refuse?

"Yes." Huo Yan nodded slightly.

Jian Yao: "..."

He knows it! !

When Huo Yan can refuse others, the sun must be rising from the west that day.

Li Heng was happy and felt that he had a lot of face: "Then you come in, you have to go there at six o'clock, and I don't know how many people there are."

After all, he came out with Huo Yan, and Jian Yao couldn't throw Huo Yan away, but he made up his mind to stay away from this group of people later, so don't implicate him in the fight, anyway, he won't Maybe fight with people for these gangsters.

But Huo Yan... I still have to look at it later, although Huo Yan looks like an adult now, but the book doesn't say that Huo Yan is good at fighting, only that Huo Yan is good at being beaten.

When going in, Jian Yao pulled Huo Yan aside, hooked his hands, and motioned Huo Yan to lower his head.

Huo Yan lowered his head obediently, Jian Yao stretched out an arm to hook Huo Yan's neck, and the two were instantly "intimate".

Jian Yao's lips came close to Huo Yan's ear, and he said softly: "Don't follow them to fight foolishly, when the time comes, look at me, if I tell you to run away, just run away, for them, it's not worth it."

The warm and humid breath sprayed on Huo Yan's ears, his eyes narrowed slightly where Jian Yao couldn't see.

It was rare for someone to care about him, but he was a person who couldn't tell the truth.

"Hey, don't be stupid." Jian Yao said helplessly, "The better you are, the more they will bully you and use you."

Huo Yan's Adam's apple moved slightly, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "It's okay."

Jian Yao: "...All right."

Huo Yan was so angry that Jian Yao was going to have a heart attack.

"Boss! Here's a pack of cigarettes." Li Heng took out ten yuan from his pocket and said with ease, "Huang Jiao."

The boss smiled and took out a pack of cigarettes from the counter and handed it to Li Heng.

"Come on, come on, smoke all of them." Li Heng generously opened the package and smoked loose cigarettes one by one.

"Brothers" are also very face-saving, and they clicked up as soon as they received it.

It wasn't until Li Heng walked up to Jian Yao that Jian Yao refused, "I don't need it, I don't smoke."

Li Heng rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "What kind of man is a man if he can't smoke? Come on, take it, take a few puffs and you'll be fine."

"If you don't answer, you won't give me face."

Li Heng looked at Jian Yao with fierce eyes, it seemed that as long as Jian Yao dared to refuse him again, he would be able to offer Jian Yao right now.

The people behind him also looked at Jian Yao. Jian Yao didn't give Li Heng face, but he didn't give face to all of them.

Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, a hand with strong knuckles reached out and took the two cigarettes from Li Heng's hand.

Li Heng's gaze moved up.

Huo Yan looked into Li Heng's eyes, and said softly, "I'll smoke for him."

Li Heng folded his arms around his chest and said with a sneer, "Then you smoke, don't put on an air, I think you're not bad, it's this kid, hasn't he been beaten since he was a child, and he doesn't know what pain is?"

The person next to him threw a lighter.

Jian Yao was furious: "What are you guys..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Huo Yan biting the cigarette holder, and the "click" of a cheap lighter sounded.

In the dimly lit room, the flame of the cigarette butt flickered on and off, and the smoke gradually rose and disappeared quickly.

Nothing left but the smell of smoke on the tip of the nose.
