CH 30

It's been three years since I last saw Da Qiang again.

I thought that Da Qiang and his parents moved to the city, and his house in town is still empty.

I had not seen him for three years, that incident was also suppressed in the bottom of my heart, and now that I see him again, the remorse and anger erupted like a volcano out of control.

He was right in front of me, scolding Huang Mao and his gang, scolding and laughing at me: "How did you get on their nerves?"

He patted me on the shoulder naturally, I shook off his hand directly, and my fingers were shaking a little as the pain in my body and the resentment inside me intertwined.

Da Qiang then was surprised: "What's wrong? Your shoulder hurts?" Huang Mao next to me touched the injury on his arm, and spat a mouthful of spit at my feet: "Damn, this motherfucker thing, stupid Qiang, I will not give you face."

I'm still gasping for air, my eyes stared at Da Qiang inspecting him for a while before moving away.

He was estimated to be 5'9", very strong, and he can still carry us over with one hand when he was a kid.

I'm not afraid of him anymore, but my thoughts are overwhelming, should I fight him to the death now? (TN: DOO ITTT)

Da Qiang had already quarreled with Huang Mao. At first, both of them were joking a little, but then they seemed to lose patience after arguing, and then they really quarreled.

Da Qiang also comes with a few people, they are obviously not part of a gang, but they know each other, and their relationship should be of ordinary friends.

I took a deep breath, and then left by myself. Huang Mao immediately cursed: "Did you think I'd let you leave?"

I sneered: "How are you going to stop me?" A few of their group were angry, they came over and swarmed me, Da Qiang bellowed: "Fuck you, I said he was my buddy, right? So disrespectful?"

Huang Mao cursed and said that I deserved it. Da Qiang softened his tone: "All right, all right, tonight I'll treat you."

Huang Mao stared at me fiercely for a while, pointed at me and warned: "It's none of your business for me to date Li Xin, and if you dare to provoke me, I will kill you!"

He let me off the hook by giving face to Da Qiang. I leave and do not turn back, they are both bad people, I do not want to pay attention to either of them.

I left, and Da Qiang drove his motorcycle to catch up to me and was very unhappy: "Li Chen, you fuck ah, do I owe you money?"

I said no, I had an emergency and needed to leave. He obviously did not believe me, he stopped in front of me: "You fucking say it clearly, why are you treating me like this? I still want to take you to the fucking restaurant."

On the surface, Da Qiang seems like a good buddy, but I know his heart, he is a person who walks on the edge of crime, I heard my father say that he had been in the police station the year before.

But none of this has anything to do with me, I just don't want to hang out with him because of what happened to my sister.

I said goodbye to him, he was still confused, and when I walked away he suddenly yelled at me: "You fucking idiot, is this because of your sister? you were pretending to be a dick with me."

I squeezed my fists, my lips slightly trembling, I breathed heavily, Da Qiang scolded me from behind: "I just fucking rubbed her a few times, why do you hold a grudge? At that time did you not hate her?" (TN: This man is terrible)

I turned around and said in a cold voice: "Shut up, just pretend we don't know each other."

Da Qiang gave me the finger: "Go away, stupid pussy!"

I wiped the blood from my mouth and walked away, I was afraid if I looked at him for a second longer, I’d go crazy.

But as I walked away, I had a sour feeling in my heart, Da Qiang was not wrong, he just rubbed my sister a few times while I did nothing, causing this situation to fall upon me, making Li Xin to become like that towards me.

My heart is chaotic, and I can no longer be calm. I met Da Qiang today, and my anger towards him can only be turned on myself. I can't just beat him without thinking.

I stopped at the entrance of an alley, wiped clean my blood and sweat, kicked the corner, and finally forced myself to calm down and rushed back to school.

I just sent a letter to Li Xin, 5,000 words filled with my heart and many feelings, I just do not know what her reaction will be.

I began to think about making money, or having to write articles. The next few days I am at ease writing articles, although Qin Lan from time to time sends me messages, but only to talk about trivial matters, I do not have to pay attention to her.

This article I wrote more attentively, and it took me longer, it took me until Friday to finish it.

When I finished writing it, I took the opportunity to go to Lin Yin Yin and ask her to help me to proofread it.

The first thing I did was to ask her to look at it. She looked at me for a moment and said I was writing again. I said yes, let's see if we can make money.

She frowned: "Let's talk about it when we have time, I'm going to sing karaoke with those guys now."

As soon as the words fell, several girls and boys came over, all excited, Zhang Xiong acted as the leader: "Let's go, let's sing all night."

Lin Yin Yin brought the girls to go with him, I was stunned, holding the article, I had a kind of dazed feeling, and I don't know what happened.

Since Lin Yin Yin is busy singing karaoke, let's show it to her next time. I don't really care, let's go out of school and see Li Xin.

A few days have passed since I gave her the letter, and I don't know if she had read it.

This time I rushed to Takasu Middle School, my heart is also quite enthusiastic, I look forward to reconciling with her.

But I didn't even get to the school gate to see several gangsters, surprisingly it was Huang Mao and Da Qiang and their friends.

I could not help but frown, what are they doing here? And why were they here together?

I looked behind them, Huang Mao, that bastard, likes to get everyones’ attention, speaking very loudly at all times, so that all people look at him all the time.

I heard him talking this time, but it was about Li Xin.

"I told her to go shopping tonight, Sister Xia called her, she is sure to come. You'll see later that she's a beauty."

Huang Mao was talking to Da Qiang, and Da Qiang showed a disdainful expression: "Younger students are bad, they’re not matured, it’s just tender and doesn’t feel like anything."

I narrowed my eyes a little, Huang Mao scolded Da Qiang for not appreciating younger students, but Da Qiang laughed: "I tell you, when I was a freshman in high school, I had sex with little girl, it doesn’t really feel good, it's just tender, and has a smell." 

My lips pursed, my heart was cold. Huang Mao and a few of his gang were all excited, asking Da Qiang to elaborate, Da Qiang was smug: "Just a neighbor's child, really good-looking, she now should be developed, I miss it a little.”

He did not say much, so Huang Mao and the others thought he had been on the bed, one by one, they started to laugh and curse at him.

I felt my teeth chattering, I was biting too hard, and my heart was pounding so hard I wanted to kill someone. (TN: DO IT, KILL THEM BOTH)

They were still laughing, I could not help but take a step forward, and Huang Mao suddenly got up: " Come on, my horsey." (TN: He’s referring to Li Xin, and horses are considered a good virtue in China as their body is strong, and horses are loyal, but in this situation it’s still kind of weird because it’s like an affectionate pet name for people dating.)

A few of his gang look over, it's Li Xin. She surprisingly did not wear the school uniform, but wearing the clothes I bought for her, although my eyes aren't good, she really looks good in it, she herself has an aura around her, pure and cloud-like, which makes a man not look at her with more than two eyes. (TN: This probably means she looks so pure, you wouldn’t look at her with impure thoughts.)

A few of the gangsters all stared at Li Xin, Huang Mao took the lead with speaking: "Xin'er, class is over."

Li Xin obviously froze, head slightly hanging: "Why do you still come? Where is Sister Xia?"

Huang Mao shamelessly said: "Let's go shopping together, I can help you carry things, let's go, Sister Xia is waiting."

Li Xin didn't move, looking embarrassed. Da Qiang all came forward to laugh, in a teasing manner, and also smiled and said that she looked really good.

I saw Li Xin shake a little, and then look up at Da Qiang. Da Qiang also looked at her, and then his neck all jutted forward: "You are ...... crap, who ......"

Li Xin instantly turned pale, Da Qiang was stunned: "Holy shit, such a coincidence."

Several people were all surprised, Li Xin turned around to leave, Huang Mao pulled her: "What's wrong? You look very strange ah, do you not feel well?"

Li Xin shook his head vigorously, and Da Qiang laughed strangely: "Ah, Fan Jia Lu Zhai, Huang Mao, I like your horse too." (TN: Uhm, that Chinese part basically is an idiom for an inevitable clash between enemies.)

A few hooligans recklessly flirted with Li Xin, Huang Mao that pussy also happily laughed, many students next to them were careful to avoid them, Li Xin once again became the target of countless eyes gathered on her.

All my anger has exploded at this moment, and I have gone behind Huang Mao and kicked him in the body: "Fuck you!" (TN: OH MY GO DFIANLYL)

He is not taller and stronger than me, as I kicked him to the ground with a cold uncertainty. The crowd was shocked, Li Xin's red eyes were cast on my body.

I don't care about anything, I kicked down Huang Mao and grabbed Li Xin's hand directly and left.

I am not afraid to fight, but I do not want to fight in front of the school, which will drag Li Xin.

I quickly took her away, and did not look at her, just silently walked. Huang Mao has gotten up, yelling and screaming: "Fuck you, get him, make him dead, look at the shit, look!"

A few punks caught up with me, and Da Qiang cursed me from behind: "Damn, Li Chen this stupid bastard."

I pulled Li Xin and ran, she also ran with me, I did not look at her, but I know she looked at me, her hands were cold and soft, her palms were sweaty.

Three years later I finally grabbed her hand like I should have, I did not expect this situation, I was almost forced.

The gangsters were chasing after us, but luckily there were many students around, and many motorcycles were driving on the road, so no one could catch up quickly.

I rushed into a group of girls hard and then rushed away again, causing them to shriek.

I did not care and ran around the corner to let go of Li Xin's hand: "You stay here."

She did not respond, and I did not look back at her, and ran away.

Many students here are buying snacks, I left Li Xin in the crowd, she is quite smart, and when I couldn't help but look back she had her head down and was picking out fruits.

I'm not sure if the gangsters didn't see her, but I dashed through the piles of people and nearly got hit by a motorcycle.

I stopped and looked around, they did not come after me. Why did they stop chasing me?

This is not scientifically correct? I was very surprised, but then understood, they just chased me a little, and left to drive the motorcycle.

The rumble of the motorcycle has sounded, Huang Mao across the stand on the motorcycle stared at me: "Fuck you, today I will kill you!”
