Chapter 3: The Despicable Hong Jun
Out of curiosity about a certain matter, after finishing evening self-study, I didn't immediately return to the dormitory to rest, but instead strolled around the playground for several laps.
Just as I was wandering around, I suddenly found a thin figure in front of me. Her pace was much slower than mine, and I caught up with her in three or two steps.
"Are you from Class 6 of Senior One?" I asked as I caught up with him.
The girl had a long ponytail tied behind her back, with a small and delicate face that looked extremely cute.
I looked at her and she was startled at first, then opened her thin lips and said, "Uh, I'm from Class 6."
"My name is Yifeng, and I'm also from Class 6. I even waved at you last night." I said with a smile. Being able to make friends with such a beautiful girl ahead of time, who knows what might develop in the future.
The girl borrowed the light of the playground to see my face clearly and suddenly realized: "It's you, I'm Zhou Lin, just call me Linlin."
Then I and Zhou Lin turned around the playground for a few laps, and we also talked about many topics. This is the first time I have said so much to a girl, and my heart feels warm.
With this warmth, I returned to the dormitory, but found that the atmosphere of Speed was a bit off, because we had added several people, and they were all very tall, obviously not freshmen in high school. ??The King of Mixing 3
"Hmm, hmm, another one's back, just in time. Now that your dormitory is complete, I'll tell you about the rules." said one of the punk-rockers with yellow-dyed hair.
My eyebrows furrowed involuntarily as I thought of Zhang Jin from No. 8 Middle School again.
They immediately pulled me close to the dormitory and pushed me inside, saying: "Everyone stand up straight, Liu Ge is going to give a lecture, you all listen carefully."
The yellow-haired guy, who was called Liu Ge, looked at us a few times and seemed satisfied with our relative quietness. He said with a pleased expression: "Not bad, you guys are quite sensible. My name is Liu Tao. I came here today just for your own good, to offer you some protection. You can pay me a little bit of hard-earned money, 50 yuan per person per month, and I guarantee that no one will bother you at school. Otherwise, you'll be waiting for the older thugs to take you into the bathroom and extort you every three days or so. I promise you, every time you go to the bathroom, you'll face a good beating. Believe me, this is not an idle threat."
As soon as Huang Mao finished speaking, a young man from the outermost layer immediately took out his wallet and handed a 50-yuan bill to Huang Mao, saying: "Brother Liu, my name is Hong Jun. This is my share. In the future, if anything happens, please help me more often. If there's an opportunity, it would be even better to follow Brother Liu together."
Liu Tao nodded: "Not bad, the child is teachable."
I looked at Hong Jun's spineless appearance and felt a wave of disdain in my heart, and I couldn't help but let out a "tsk" sound.
Such a voice can be heard in the dormitory at once, and Liu Tao and Hong Jun look towards me at the same time.
Liu Tao furrowed his brow: "Youngster, what's your name? How come you seem to have no intention of paying?"
I watched as Liu Tao nodded and started crawling onto his own bed: "I have hands and feet, I can protect myself, no need for you big brothers to help."
Liu Tao didn't get angry, but instead smiled: "Good kid, you have backbone. What's your name, by the way?"
Before I could respond, Hong Jun smiled and said, "Liu Ge, this classmate's name is Yi Feng. He was the last one in our class, and it's said that he's a sports talent, maybe he'll join the school sports team in the future."
Liu Tao's eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Sports team? Hmph, don't think that just because you're from the sports team, no one dares to touch you. We'll see about that, there will come a time when you'll be looking for my help."
Although I resisted, others in the dormitory still paid protection fees one after another. I couldn't help but scold these people for being weaklings.
After Liu Tao left, Hong Jun smacked his lips and said: "Yi Feng, you've stirred up trouble. Do you know who Liu Tao is?" ??The Natural Born Rogue 3
"Who is it?" I asked while putting away the bedding.
Hong Jun looked around cautiously and said in a mysterious tone, "That Liu Tao is a thug who was promoted from the junior high school department of No. 1 Middle School to our high school this year. Among the new students in our high school, he can definitely be ranked among the top three."
"I thought he was in a higher grade." I smiled and looked nonchalant.
Hong Jun Dao said: "He has been held back a grade, so naturally he is older than us by one year. It's normal for him to look like a high school sophomore."
I nodded and didn't continue the conversation with Hong Jun, but instead prepared for bed.
Hong Jun shook his head and started chatting with others when he saw that I was no longer paying attention to him. From their conversation, I learned that Hong Jun was also a student from the junior high school department of No. 1 Middle School, and although his grades were average, his personality was extremely gentle.
The next day, the boss let us enter the classroom in order according to our middle school exam scores. Unfortunately, I was the last one to enter, so the very corner seat was left for me.
And it just so happened that my deskmate was looking for me, and he was also searching for Ma Long.
After greeting each other, we began listening to the lecture of Xiao Ju Tian.
Today was not much of a class day, the school held a freshman entrance ceremony, and it took up the whole morning. In the afternoon, the school did not arrange any classes, but instead distributed textbooks and learning materials for each subject to the students.
Another day has passed in the blink of an eye.
The following days were spent in a relaxed and happy manner, perhaps because I was the first boy in the class to talk to Zhou Lin. She was also willing to get close to me, and as soon as the class was over, she would run to the last row of seats to find me, and we would chat for an entire class break.
"Yifeng, you little rascal, you're really something! You've only just arrived and already managed to win over our class flower!" Ma Long couldn't help but envy.
I smiled and let him talk less nonsense, but in fact I was secretly praising him for his "nonsense" being quite impressive.
However, I gradually found that the closer I got to Zhou Lin, the more those soft eggs in our dormitory would squeeze me out. For example, after finishing self-study at night, Zhou Lin would, as usual, tutor me on today's homework, so we often didn't return to our respective dormitories until the teaching building was locked up.
As a protector of flowers, I had to send Zhou Lin back first before returning to the dormitory, so my return to the dormitory was inevitably delayed.
These bastards actually put the door upside down under Hong Jun's instigation, and no matter how I knocked on the door, nobody opened it for me.
They didn't let me enter, so I went to Ma Long's dormitory and stayed for a night. However, I also didn't let those guys off the hook. I borrowed an iron wire from Ma Long's dormitory that was used for drying clothes, then I locked the door of the dormitory.
You won't let me in, okay, then you can't come out either, let's see who's afraid of whom.
As a result, Hong Jun and several others were late for early self-study on that day.
I heard that after they came back, the dormitory manager still checked the dormitory and only let them out after hearing the constant knocking on the door.
Hong Jun came into the classroom and glared at me fiercely, opening his mouth: "Yi Feng, you wait."
From his lip movements I can roughly see what he is saying.
I disdainfully gave him a cold glance and said: "Idiot!"
The morning self-study had just begun, and the morning reading hadn't officially started yet, so my voice was still heard by many people. Through my gaze, they also saw who I was talking about, and thus everyone began to discuss it.
Hong Jun's face was somewhat unacceptable, although he was a soft egg, but he had been in No. 1 Middle School for several years, so relying on his connections, he pointed at me and scolded: "Yi Feng, who are you cursing?"
I smiled and opened my English textbook: "That stupid x agreed, I scolded that stupid x!"
"So you're scolding me?" Hong Jun said angrily.
The whole classroom burst into laughter instantly.
It's a shame for me to talk to someone with this IQ, I smiled and lazily ignored him, starting to loudly recite English texts.
Hong Jun relied on his connections, but he didn't dare to come out and fight with me, so he just shouted a few harsh words by himself and continued doing it boringly.
And when he sat down, I saw him glance at Zhou Lin a few times, and from his eyes gleaming with green light, it was clear that this kid also had a thing for Zhou Lin.
"Ah, no wonder it's been so crowded, the crux of the matter is here!" I muttered to myself.
Ma Long said beside me, "Hong Jun this fool, if he didn't have some Liu Tao behind his back, I would have beaten him up long ago. He thinks he's great just because he studied well and stayed in No. 1 Middle School for a long time. What a joke! He's just a hypocrite."
"Hmm, you don't like him either? What did he do to offend you?" I asked curiously, as in my impression, I had never seen Hong Jun take the initiative to cause trouble for Ma Long.
Ma Long shook his head and said, "This is not the case, I just want to express my feelings. If you really let me go after him, I definitely won't go."
Alright, Ma Long is that kind of person, his bravery and cowardice are both on the tip of his tongue, as for whether he's actually brave or not, nobody knows.
Originally thought Hong Jun would learn a lesson from this incident and be more restrained, but unexpectedly this guy became even more outrageous.
After sending Zhou Lin back to her dormitory, I found that the quilt on my bed had disappeared.
I immediately went to ask Hong Jun: "Where is my quilt?"
Hong Jun glanced at me and said: "Forget it!"
"What the hell are you doing?!" he said, grabbing Hong Jun's collar and ready to fight.
At this time, several people in the dormitory rushed over to "mediate", actually they were mainly pulling me, holding my hands tightly.
Hong Jun smiled and said, "What's the big deal? Just because your bed sheets are not neatly folded, our dormitory lost points for hygiene. You dragged us down, you know that?"
"Get out of here, I made the bed early this morning and it was neatly arranged. You all saw it, stop making trouble for me!" I shouted.
I didn't blow on the quilt, I folded it out from a young age, thanks to Dad's guidance, this is also the only thing he taught me.
My father used to be a soldier and even now, the quilts at home are folded according to military standards.
Hong Jun laughed more and more cheaply: "Haha, is that so? Go ask them if they saw it. Ask the dorm manager, ask him if he saw it. Your quilt is now at the dorm manager's place, go ask."
Hong Jun said, gesturing for the two people behind me to release their tight grip on my hands.
I raised my hand and pointed at Hong Jun: "There won't be a next time, or else don't blame me for being impolite."
After finishing speaking, I went to the dormitory management office.
She Guan is a nice old man, I told him that I was wronged and demonstrated my quilt-folding skills on the spot. He believed me instantly and returned the quilt to me without saying another word: "Girl, it's not easy for out-of-town students in this school, just get along well with them, taking a little loss won't hurt you."
I nodded and said respectfully: "Thank you."
Whoever respects me, I will always respect him; whoever offends me, no matter how far away, must be punished!
