Fortunately, Qiao Jianuo ate such a big bowl of noodles at noon, and he was not very hungry at night.

He didn't open the door until eight o'clock in the evening, intending to go to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.

Neither Qiao Jianuo nor Jin Chu had dinner this evening, so Chen Yue had to take Qiao Dong to help in the kitchen. When Qiao Jianuo passed by the kitchen door, the couple were washing dishes and chatting.

"I don't know if what they said is true or not. If what they said is true, then we have to keep a close eye on Jianuo and Xiao Chu. We can't let them play wild outside in the middle of the night like last night. Even staying at a classmate's house." Chen Yue's voice was full of worry.

"I don't think it's that exaggerated." Qiao Dong felt amused, and comforted his wife, "How could the fights between children be so serious?"

Seeing Qiao Dong's disapproving look, Chen Yue couldn't help but glared at him, and said in a complaining tone: "That's because you usually don't care about the two children in the family, and you don't understand the current children. They mature very precociously, and only you There is nothing they can't think of, and there is nothing they can't do."

Qiao Dong choked for a moment, and then retorted weakly: "Then it's impossible to beat Wei Jie like that."

"Why is it impossible?"

Facing Chen Yue's questioning, Qiao Dong explained: "I think Wei Jie offended some people in the society, so he was retaliated last night. As for what your colleague said, maybe half of it is true. words, but there are still a lot of exaggeration in it.”

Chen Yue and Qiao Dong talked a lot, and the three sentences couldn't be separated from Wei Jie's name.

Giorgio hid outside the door and eavesdropped for a while. The more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong, so he stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with Wei Jie?"

The sudden sound startled both Chen Yue and Qiao Dong, and the couple almost threw the plates in their hands.

After finding out that the person who came in was Qiao Jianuo, Chen Yue breathed a sigh of relief: "Aren't you uncomfortable sleeping? Why did you come out?"

"Come out and wash up, and go back to sleep later." Giorgio finished speaking in a few words, and abruptly dragged the topic back, "What did you say about Wei Jie just now?"

Chen Yue didn't seem to want to say this in front of her children, but Qiao Jianuo kept asking. She hesitated for two seconds and decided to tell the truth: "I heard from my colleagues that Wei Jie was beaten up in a certain alley last night. Some of Wei Jie’s friends were also beaten, and they were beaten so badly that they lay in the hospital for a while and couldn’t wake up.”

Qiao Dong added: "Actually, it's still a question of whether I can wake up."

Giorgio was very surprised: "So serious?"

"Of course it's serious. The parents of those children have already called the police." Chen Yue put the cleaned dinner dishes into the cupboard, wiped her hands standing in the water on her apron, and then continued, "The police are investigating the situation." This incident has also been monitored in many places. It seems that the murderer was found to be a young boy. He was tall but very thin. The murderer covered his face, hands and hair with things. I can't even tell who it is."

Qiao Dong next to him suddenly interrupted: "Since even the police can't recognize who the murderer is, how do your colleagues decide that the murderer is a student?"

Chen Yue replied confidently: "This is the sixth sense of us women."

Qiao Dong: "..."

He didn't know how to answer this sentence.

Just when the couple was about to quarrel over this trivial matter, Chen Yue caught a glimpse of Qiao Jianuo's cheek out of the corner of her eye, and then she was taken aback, not even caring about the quarrel, and stretched out her hand to touch Qiao Jianuo's cheek .

"What's wrong with your face? Why is it swollen like this!" Chen Yue was surprised and distressed, and hurriedly dragged Qiao Jianuo to the living room.

It was only then that Giorgio realized that he forgot to cover up the marks on his face and rushed into the kitchen in a hurry just to inquire about Wei Jie, and it was too late to cover up now.

"Oh... I'm fine." Qiao Jianuo turned sideways, trying not to let Chen Yue and Qiao Dong's eyes fall on his face, "I accidentally knocked on the coffee table when I was playing with my classmates yesterday."

As soon as the words fell, Chen Yue's hand suddenly put on Qiao Jianuo's shoulder.

Before Qiao Jianuo realized what was going on, he felt a little force on Chen Yue's hand, and then he was turned to face Chen Yue.

"..." Qiao Jianuo became inexplicably nervous, pretending to be calm and smiling at Chen Yue, "What's wrong?"

Although Qiao Jianuo had just graduated from junior high school, he was already about the same height as Chen Yue, and even Chen Yue had to raise his eyelids slightly to meet Qiao Jianuo's gaze.

Chen Yue looked at Qiao Jianuo's cheek with a solemn expression for a while, and then said in a muffled voice, "Who can make a slap on the face?"

Giorgano was at a loss for words.

Fortunately, Chen Yue didn't seem to intend to pursue this matter. Seeing that the redness and swelling on Qiao Jianuo's face had almost disappeared, she seemed to think of something suddenly, and glanced in the direction of Jin Chu's bedroom.

"It's fine if you don't come out to eat just now, why can't even Xiao Chu come out to eat? Did Xiao Chu get knocked on the face by the coffee table?"

Giorgio: "..."

What do you mean it's fine if he doesn't come out to eat...

Look, is this what a mother should say?

Thinking of Jin Chu's abnormality, Qiao Jianuo hesitated for a while, but he didn't dare to reveal anything in front of Chen Yue and Qiao Dong, so he began to pretend to be confused: "I don't know, if you want to know, just ask Jin Chu."

Hearing this, Chen Yue choked for a moment, and squinted at Qiao Jianuo: "Xiao Chu is an obedient and sensible child. He has always done things in a proper way, so you don't need me and your father to ask."

Qiao Jianuo chuckled on the surface, thinking in his heart that you were the ones who dared not ask.

Afterwards, Qiao Jianuo inquired about the news about Wei Jie seriously again.

In fact, Chen Yue and Qiao Dong didn't know much about it. Qiao Dong heard about it from Chen Yue tonight, and Chen Yue also heard about it from her colleagues during the day at work.

However, based on Chen Yue's words and Qiao Jianuo's guess, it was enough to piece together the whole thing.

If Qiao Jianuo guessed correctly, Wei Jie and others were sent to the hospital by Jin Chu.

That's why there are so many scary-looking bruises on Jin Chu's arms.

Maybe there were scars on other parts of Jin Chu's body, but Jin Chu didn't want Qiao Jianuo to approach him, and Qiao Jianuo couldn't check his physical condition.

Giorgio sighed lightly, feeling a little blocked.

In the next few days, Jin Chu didn't come out of the bedroom very much.

Although Chen Yue has always suspected that Qiao Jianuo and Jin Chu fought with others outside, which caused Jin Chu to be injured and hid behind closed doors in the bedroom, but Chen Yue has hardly worried about Jin Chu in the past few years , she also knew that Jin Chu was sensitive and didn't dare to speak harshly to him, so she could only find Qiao Jianuo after much deliberation.

That afternoon, Chen Yue, who was on vacation, pulled Qiao Jianuo into the bedroom, and whispered: "If you have time, please pay more attention to Xiao Chu, he has been too abnormal recently."

Of course Qiao Jianuo knew about Jin Chu's abnormality, but the problem was that Jin Chu didn't want to talk to him at all, even if he wanted to care about Jin Chu, he couldn't find a way to care.

But facing Chen Yue's worried face, Qiao Jianuo still nodded: "I see."

Chen Yue stroked Qiao Jianuo's hair: "To celebrate you and Xiao Chu's graduation from junior high school, we will have a dinner at our house next Saturday. At that time, relatives and neighbors from the courtyard will come, and Grandma Bai may also come. Let Xiao Chu adjust his mood."

Grandma Bai?

Oh yes, it's Bai Zhizhi.

Ever since Bai Zhizhi entered the factory to work, Qiao Jianuo and Jin Chu hadn't seen Bai Zhihui again.

As for Teng Jing who still lives in the courtyard, she is busy dating all kinds of men all day long, coming and going without a trace, only existing in the chatting of neighbors in the neighborhood.

If Chen Yue hadn't suddenly mentioned Bai Zhizhi at this moment, Qiao Jianuo would have almost forgotten the existence of this mother and daughter.

Giorgio quickly thought of something, and frowned: "Teng Jing?"

Speaking of Teng Jing, Chen Yue, who was still amiable last second, instantly pulled her face down, and she snorted coldly: "Even if she wants to come, I won't let her come. Now Xiao Chu is a child of our family, and we can talk to her now." Jing has nothing to do with the money, so don't try to attribute the credit for educating Xiao Chu to herself."

Chen Yue was filled with righteous indignation, her cheeks flushed red.

Seeing this, Giorgio slowly felt relieved.

Before, he was worried that Chen Yue was soft-hearted, and he had some thoughts about Teng Jing, but now seeing that Chen Yue still hated Teng Jing so much, it should not be so easy for Teng Jing to get close to Jin Chu.

Giorgio was thinking about those things in his previous life.

Then he found that he couldn't remember many things in his previous life clearly. It seemed that after they entered junior high school, Jin Chu no longer appeared in his life so frequently, and Jin Chu's private affairs were never in his attention.

Qiao Jianuo regretted his disregard for Jin Chu in his previous life, so that now he doesn't even know what kind of trouble Teng Jing will make in the past few years.

After walking out of the bedroom, Giorgio turned around and knocked on the door of Jin Chu's bedroom.

After waiting for a while, Jin Chu came to open the door.

However, the door only opened a very narrow gap. From Giorgio's perspective, only half of Jin Chu's face and his dark gray pajamas could be seen from behind the door.

Jin Chu buttoned his pajamas to the top button, as if he was hiding something.

The warm yellow light in the room cast a halo on Jin Chu's side face, and made his expression less cold. Unfortunately, his eyes were still full of indifference.

"What's up?"

"It's not something important." Giorjano touched the door with his fingertips, and pushed it lightly, but he gave up and said in a low voice, "My mother said that I will treat you next Saturday, and maybe your grandma will too. Come."

Jin Chu snorted, his expression didn't change at all, as if Bai Zhihui's presence had nothing to do with him.

Qiao Jianuo observed Jin Chu's face and asked, "Do you mind? If you mind, I will tell my mother."

Jin Chu replied quickly: "I don't mind, you can do whatever you want."

Giorgio: "...Okay."

The two were relatively silent for a while, and Qiao Jianuo actively found another topic: "By the way, the results will be out tomorrow night. Do you feel nervous?"

Jin Chu seemed to see that Qiao Jianuo was looking for something to say, and there was a little helplessness in his eyes, but it was fleeting and he hid it well.

Then, he said succinctly: "No."

"..."

Giorgano couldn't accept these words.

Soon, Jin Chu said again: "I am No.1 every time I take the exam. If someone can surpass me, they have surpassed me in the previous exams, so I have nothing to be nervous about."

Giorgio: "..."

If Qiao Jianuo hadn't understood Jin Chu's character, he would have suspected that Jin Chu's words were deliberately pretentious.

But Jin Chu didn't pretend to be aggressive, he was just explaining a fact calmly.

Confidence from Xueba...

Qiao Jianuo, a reborn person, felt extremely ashamed. He had been reborn once, but in the end, he was rubbed against the floor by a boss like Jin Chu in terms of academic performance.

the next day.

Seven o'clock in the evening.

Chen Yue made dinner early, and after the family finished eating, Chen Yue waved her hand and handed over the work of cleaning up the mess to Qiao Dong, and then she and Qiao Jianuo stayed on the landline to make a phone call.

The Internet these days is not as developed as it will be in the future. In the future, you only need to enter the test admission number on the webpage to find all kinds of information. However, many families do not have the ability to buy a computer. Lian Jinhua, who is from a good family, can let his parents After checking the results, ordinary families like Qiao Jianuo can only use landlines to make calls to fixed numbers.

This is the peak time for checking grades, and the phone is always busy.

Qiao Jianuo was relatively calm, while Chen Yue was so anxious that her hand holding the receiver was covered with sweat.
