Li Dong fought a total of three boxing matches that night.
He defeated three adult boxers in a relatively short period of time, causing the audience to cheer wildly.
Denen Satoshi recorded all three matches. She even felt her body trembling, and her eyes were filled with tears.
17 years old.
Touki was only 17 years old.
But in order to survive, he had to endure such great pressure and fight in the adult world in advance. He used his tenacious fists to make a living, and risked injury to fight for a way to live.
In comparison, she, who only needed to study hard, was a hundred times happier.
Her heart ached so much that tears fell.
After the match.
On the way home with Denen Satoshi.
"Actually, I don't plan to keep this job.
"I have to knock down at least three opponents every day and do my best just to get the 100 yuan bonus after each win. If I lose, I get nothing.
"I'm very strong, and I haven't lost a single time. I've defeated more than a thousand opponents, but I don't feel happy, because every time I win, it means that I've hurt others once. I've caused them pain, and I've created painful memories for them … I'm simply a villain."
"But for my tuition fees, living expenses, and to survive, I have no choice but to do this. Unless I get excellent grades and get into a university that provides a full scholarship, I will be able to stop hurting myself. I will be able to say sorry to those I defeated and start a new life."
"Now, all my plans have been destroyed by the rumors. The school doesn't object to students working part-time, but they absolutely object to students playing underground boxing. Once the truth is revealed, I'm afraid I'll lose this well-paying job.
"But this is good. At least this journey of hurting can end here. I feel much better than before. It's just that if I find other part-time jobs, my income will drop a lot, and life will be difficult.
"Sigh, in short, there are good and bad. As long as I move forward, the road will appear under my feet."
Li Dong sighed, feeling both helpless and relieved.
"Touki, you … it's really not easy for you!"
Denen Satoshi's sympathy was off the charts. She sobbed. "It's too hard for you to live alone. I'll take care of you in the future, I'll help you, let me be your support! I don't have much money, but it's not a problem to bring you an extra large bento every day. "
"No need, no need."
Li Dong waved his hand. "No matter what, I have no problem supporting myself. You don't have to worry about that. Also, thank you very much, Satoshi. Thank you for your trust in me, especially when rumors are flying everywhere. This kind of precious trust is more important than anything else.
"It's not like that, Touki!"
Unexpectedly, Denen Satoshi became even more agitated, and her tears raged even more violently. "Just before today, I also believed those rumors, and I also doubted you, Touki. I am a despicable person with no opinions of my own, and I echo what others say … I am not someone worthy of Touki's trust. I am not worthy of the word 'trust'!"
Looking at Denen Satoshi's serious face.
Li Dong was stunned.
He reached out and patted her on the head, smiled and said, "What an honest girl. Perhaps it's because of this that I first thought of asking for your help."
"Ah ~"
Denen Satoshi stared at him blankly, her cheeks flushed.
…
The next day.
An explosive video quickly spread in Xihai No. 3 High School.
"The Truth About Touki's Part-Time Job: Three Consecutive Videos of Intense Hand-To-Hand Combat on the Spot. You'll Regret If You Don't Watch" — this title garnered enough attention and aroused a strong urge to pay attention to it.
For a moment, there were countless students asking for video resources.
"Hehe, Touki, let me see your heroic fighting posture."
"As expected of Touki. Three consecutive videos in one night, fighting continuously for several months, and still not collapsing. In addition to having iron kidneys, he must also have superb skills. This is something worth learning."
"I can't wait to enjoy the video of my schoolmate. The main character is right beside me. There's a different kind of excitement, and it makes my blood boil."
"Touki, let me see your ability!"
His finger clicked on the video.
Then …
That expression was as if he had downloaded a rare video called "Special Services of Air Stewardess" and opened it with excitement, only to find that the video playing was "Calabash Brothers." The contrast was huge. His feelings of loss were overflowing.
All the male students experienced a great sense of loss.
And the female students?
At first, they were shy, shy because of the suggestive title.
But after forcefully clicking on the video.
They began to fall silent, and then each of them had tears in their eyes.
"So … we all misunderstood Touki. His part-time job turned out to be this."
"Why did you hide it from us, Touki? Wouldn't it have been fine if you had explained earlier? Why didn't you do it?"
"If he didn't do it, Touki would have no source of income."
Denen Satoshi said, "Touki is different from us. He has to survive and earn his own tuition. Without parents, he has to shoulder everything alone! We have been relying on adults. What right do we have to talk about him like that behind his back? He didn't sell his body and soul. He can only use his fists to fight for a living in the adult world. But we smashed the bowl that he picked up with great difficulty. "
"We … we … are too despicable!"
Denen Satoshi's petite body let out an uncontrollable roar. Those words were like needles, passing into the ears of every student in the class.
They could not help but lower their heads.
This …
Shangguan Feifei was stunned. Her lips moved, and a sudden sense of shame welled up in her heart. She lowered her head.
"Denen Satoshi?"
Nanjo Masaharu raised her head. She didn't expect such a weak girl to shout out such powerful words.
Her gaze swept to the back corner. Touki had been unusually calm, so calm that it made one's heart ache.
But after hearing Denen Satoshi's words.
Li Dong stood up from his seat and walked to Denen Satoshi's side. He reached out and patted her on the head. He smiled and said, "Satoshi, enough. You've done enough. You don't have to speak up for me so loudly.
As for you … "
He walked in front of Shintora, Zuoqiu Akagi, Mio Takao, and the others in two steps. He stretched out his hands like lightning, grabbed Shintora and Zuoqiu Akagi by the throat, and lifted them into the air.
"Bang!"
Then, he kicked Mio Takao to the ground and stomped on his chest.
In a cold voice, he said, "The source of the rumor should be you. You saw the video just now, right? Are you very disappointed? It's a pity that your sweet dreams have come to an end. Now, if you don't refute the rumors and kneel down to apologize, class by class, I will beat you like I beat my opponents in the ring. I will let you experience what it feels like to be my opponent. Hmph! "
He let go of his hand.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Shintora and the others, who had been holding their breath for more than a minute, coughed violently. They looked at Li Dong with fear in their eyes.
"Then, answer me quickly. Do you want to start apologizing from this class, or continue to receive my fists?"
Li Dong said, clenching his fists and staring at them with murderous eyes.
"Apologize, we will apologize right away!"
"We did it, we did it, we know we were wrong!"
"Please forgive us!"
Looking at the terrifying fists that could defeat adult underground boxers, the three immediately cowered and knelt on the ground to apologize.
