In less than a week, Xu Shi 'an and Ah Qing were both punished for eating snacks in class.
But Ah Qing was not sad at all because he had mastered the shortcut to knowledge.
"I secretly studied divisors at home yesterday. Now, I don't even need to listen in class."
Ah Qing squatted beside the flower bed and his eyes darted around. He lowered his voice and shared this secret with Xu Shi 'an.
If this continued, he and Xu Shi 'an would soon surpass those arrogant people. Then, his dad would reward them and use the reward to buy snacks. As long as the two of them ate snacks to improve their knowledge, it would be a perfect perpetual motion machine.
"You're very smart. If we work together, it'll be easy." Xu Shi 'an patted his shoulder and put the two bubble gums in his pocket. He planned to give them to Xiaoxiao and Xu Jin for lunch.
Ah Qing pulled out a spicy stick from the bag and looked at it carefully before stuffing it into his mouth. He looked up at the sky as he chewed. He was not satisfied with the current situation and said unwillingly, "But it's still too little. I have a big plan. When we have a big bag of spicy sticks, we won't have to do homework anymore. "
On the road of life, there was always a neighbor's child. He was clever, smart, and excelled in his studies. His parents often mentioned him as a role model. They mentioned him when they were watching TV, doing homework, and after exams. It made people want to beat him up.
Ah Qing was ambitious. Once he accumulated a large bag of spicy sticks, he would be able to raise his nose to the sky and snort loudly, "XX? When the three years are up … "
He forgot the lines but it was okay. He would remember it when he went home and watched TV. That was what the person on TV said.
Xu Shi 'an said, "Good luck!"
Ah Qing said, "We're united!"
The two of them kept stuffing spicy sticks into their mouths. The sunlight was blocked by someone and a shadow fell on them.
There were always those who didn't study and liked to pick on others in primary school.
This was a fifth-grade kid. Xu Shi 'an remembered seeing him talking to Ah Qing outside the school gate.
Ah Qing stopped chewing and shrank back in fear. "Zhao … Zhao Lilong …"
"I won't attack unless I'm attacked!"
Xu Shi 'an was not as tall as him when he stood up but he was still fearless and stood in front of Ah Qing.
“？”
Zhao Lilong looked at the kid in front of him as if he was looking at an idiot. He was a head shorter than him.
"You're so cocky …"
…
When Xu Jin ran over, Ah Qing was standing at the side watching the two of them fight.
He didn't seem to recognize Shi An anymore. This Shi An who followed Xiaoxiao around every day, his little friend who hung out with him every day, how could he be so fierce …
Ah Qing was about to speak when he saw Xu Jin jog over and kick Zhao Lilong on the ground. He then pulled Shi An up and questioned him angrily, "Why did you fight with him?"
"He provoked us first …"
Before Xu Shi 'an could finish speaking, Zhao Lilong glared at Xu Shi' an fiercely and got up to get back at him.
"I won't offend those who don't offend me!"
Xu Jin's eyes widened as he shouted, pulling Shi 'an behind him.
"He provoked you first?" Xu Jin suddenly asked with excitement in his eyes.
"Yeah."
"Beat him up!"
The siblings rushed forward together.
Ah Qing: "…"
Xiaoxiao: "…"
"Don't leave after school if you have the guts!"
Zhao Lilong's face was flushed red as he couldn't beat the siblings.
For the rest of the class, Ah Qing was a little dazed. The siblings were too brave when they rushed forward. Zhao Lilong, who always bullied him, was beaten up until he ran away like a rat.
"Shi An, I'm … sorry," he said softly when he came back to his senses.
"Huh?" Xu Shi 'an was still worried that the teacher would come looking for him or call him to the office after class.
"Zhao Lilong came to find me. You helped me … but I didn't dare to touch him," Ah Qing said, a little upset.
"We're friends." Xu Shi 'an grinned, showing his white teeth.
A piece of chalk flew over and hit him in the forehead. Xu Shi 'an became listless again.
The two of them didn't dare to whisper anymore.
Ah Qing looked at Xu Jin's back and said in a clear voice, "Let's beat him up!" It was really soul-stirring.
At that moment, the girl in the school uniform seemed to have transformed into a heroine on television.
The heroine was holding a ballpoint pen and twirling it around her fingertips. She and Xiaoxiao were very good at twirling pens. With a slight movement of their fingers, the ballpoint pen would fly between their fingers.
As if she sensed the gaze behind her, Xu Jin turned around and saw Ah Qing looking at her. She frowned and stopped twirling the ballpoint pen. After some thought, she tore off a small piece of paper and wrote on it before passing it to the back.
Ah Qing received it in surprise. He was a little excited. He didn't know what was written on it. He looked up at the teacher and opened the paper.
"If you look at me again, I'll beat you up."
"…"
After waiting for a few classes, the teacher didn't come looking for them. Xu Shi 'an heaved a sigh of relief.
Perhaps it was because students who often fought, even if they were beaten up, they would not cry and call for their teacher. They seemed to often go to the toilet to fight and bully students who looked thin and weak. Xu Shi 'an did not know them, so he ignored them.
However, it wasn't good to bully Ah Qing. After all, he had eaten so many spicy strips from this fool. They often played together. No matter what, he couldn't just watch him get bullied.
By the time school ended, the siblings had completely forgotten about this matter. Xu Shi 'an took Xiaoxiao's hair clip and was chased by Xiaoxiao to the school gate.
Today, it was Qin Maocai who came to pick up Xiaoxiao. Qin Hao would only come once in a while. Usually, he would work the night shift the day before and only have time to pick Xiaoxiao up the next day. Then, he would go back to work after eating.
Therefore, Xu Shi 'an boldly held Xiaoxiao's hand and walked out of the school gate. He wasn't afraid of being flicked in the head and ran over to greet Grandpa Qin.
Qin Maocai looked at the dignified Xu Shi 'an and felt happy. This kid was similar to Xu Qing when he was young. He was bold and thick-skinned.
He despised Qin Hao's listless and timid personality the most. After playing with Shi 'an for a long time, Xiaoxiao had become a little bolder. This made Qin Maocai like the siblings even more.
After saying goodbye to Qin Maocai, Xu Jin and Shi 'an carried their small school bags and walked towards the flower shop. Xu Jin suddenly turned around and looked at the school gate.
"I think that person told us not to leave after school today?" she said with a frown.
"Ah … Then, are we going back?" Xu Shi 'an also remembered. He scratched his head. He couldn't remember if he had promised that person. If he had, then he would be standing her up now.
"Are you stupid? Let's hurry up and go!"
Xu Jin looked at his stupid younger brother in disdain. If they went back to school now, it was hard to say whether they would fight or not. Both of them would definitely be beaten up by their mother.
It was okay to be beaten up by their mother. Xu Jin wasn't afraid of Jiang He like Shi 'an. Instead, he was more afraid of Xu Qing.
Jiang He would only beat them up when they made a mistake. Normally, it would be fine as long as they didn't misbehave. However, Xu Qing was different. Although he rarely hit the siblings, he always had a way to make them do things that they didn't like willingly.
The stupid Shi 'an always thought that their mother was scary. Only then did Xu Jin realize that their father was the person that they couldn't afford to offend. Today's fight probably couldn't be hidden from him.
