Chapter 97. Who Wants To Be Your Father?
Arc 4 : Realistc World Movie Nightmare.
Pingcheng has four distinct seasons. September is the month of clear and crisp autumn weather. The summer heat has receded, and the wind blowing on the face carries the fragrance of dry plants.
This kind of weather always makes people feel good. However, Zhang Jing was in a bad mood, a very bad mood.
Today is the day for reporting to junior high school. The school was bustling with students and parents.
Zhang Jing didn’t like this noisy feeling very much, but that wasn’t the reason why he was in a bad mood. Zhang Jing was a very organized person, and whenever something disrupts his plan, he would be in a particularly bad mood.
For example, now.
Zhang Jing looked at the class list on the bulletin board and checked it again from beginning to end.
According to the division of school districts, students from several public elementary schools in the surrounding area will be promoted to this junior high school, so now when one looks around, they can see many of their former elementary school classmates.
However, class division was random, and classmates in elementary school may not necessarily be assigned to the same class in junior high school.
In order to avoid this situation, Zhang Jing had already told his father that he wanted to continue to be in the same class with Du Yan in junior high school. At that time, his father readily agreed. However, he was busy with work, and these children’s matters occupied too little weight in his heart. Once he got busy, he forgot about them.
Zhang Jing looked through the list of the class in front of him carefully with a dark face, but still only saw his and Shi An’s names, not Du Yan’s.
Du Yan just took a quick look and said: “It seems I’m really not here. I’ll go over there and take a look.”
Before Zhang Jing could hold him back, he saw the boy running to the other side with a nonchalant look on his face. Zhang Jing was still unwilling to give up and began to look at the list of Class 2 next to his. If he couldn’t be in the same class, he could barely accept being assigned to the classroom next door.
However, before Zhang Jing finished reading, he saw Du Yan coming over excitedly.
“Zhang Xiao Jing, I’m in Class 8. This number sounds auspicious.”
Zhang Jing felt even more upset when he heard this. Because Class 1 and Class 8 were not even on the same floor, let alone next door.
Class 1 is on the first floor, and Class 8 is on the second floor.
Du Yan and Zhang Jing have been friends for so many years, so of course, he could tell something from his expression. Zhang Jing is in a very bad mood right now, worse than ever before.
He put his hand on Zhang Jing’s shoulder and led him out of the crowd.
Du Yan smiled and comforted Zhang Jing: “Little old man, don’t be so gloomy. What’s the big deal? Now that you are in junior high school, you should see a wider world and get to know more people.”
Zhang Jing glanced at Du Yan and said: “You can’t wait to see the wider world, right?”
Du Yan, however, could already tell what the other person was thinking just by looking at him. He was just afraid that he would poke a hole in the sky if no one was watching him.
Thinking of this, Du Yan began to promise solemnly in order to comfort Zhang Jing: “Don’t worry, I am a mature junior high school student now, and there won’t be any trouble for you to worry about.”
Zhang Jing still couldn’t smile: “Even the big yellow dog at the entrance of the alley doesn’t believe your promise.”
Du Yan was not annoyed and said with a smile: “Look at what you said. Even if we are not in the same class, you are still my neighbor, right? Won’t you know about my affairs?”
Although Du Yan was all smiles without proper ground, his words unexpectedly reassured Zhang Jing.
It was indeed, as Du Yan said. Although the two are no longer in the same class, they still live next to each other and would go to school and come home together. It was impossible for him not to know anything about Du Yan’s affairs.
Thinking of this, Zhang Jing’s complexion finally improved a little, no longer looking as dark and stormy as before.
Seeing this, Du Yan asked again: “Speaking of which, where is Shi An?”
Zhang Jing said: “You know that he must be here with his mother at this time. I just saw them going to pay the fee.”
To be honest, in Du Yan’s opinion, Shi An’s mother was overly controlling of him. The tragedy at the end of the movie was also closely related to Shi An’s mother.
Junior high school students usually go to school in groups of three or five to register, but Shi An still came to register accompanied by his mother. Even though Du Yan and Zhang Jing were with him, his mother was still worried and had to come in person to confirm everything before she could go about her own business.
“Then let’s wait for him at the school gate and go back together.” Du Yan suggested: “Tan Ayi will definitely have to go to work later.”
Zhang Jing nodded without objection. After so many years, he had also reluctantly accepted Shi An’s existence.
In order to avoid accidentally missing Shi An, Du Yan and Zhang Jing stood in the most conspicuous place at the school gate and waited. Although they are only in the first year of junior high school, Du Yan and Zhang Jing have begun to lose their childish appearance and have the outline of teenagers.
In short, the two of them standing at the school gate were particularly eye-catching. The girls coming in and out, whether they were freshmen from other elementary schools or seniors in the second and third years, couldn’t help but take a few more glances at these two eye-catching teenagers.
Zhang Jing didn’t stand there for a while before he felt something was wrong, and his brows became more and more furrowed.
Du Yan didn’t notice anything but was thinking about the rumors he heard today.
He was already used to sharing everything with Zhang Jing, so he said directly: “Hey, I just heard from people that there is a group of people in this school who are quite loathsome. What a gang of blockheads, specifically to bully people they don’t like on campus.”
Du Yan showed a disdainful expression: “I despise this kind of people the most. If they cause trouble for me, Zhang Jing, please don’t interfere.”
Zhang Jing did not answer but pulled Du Yan to a secluded corner under a nearby tree. Seeing that the people passing by were no longer looking in this direction, he answered Du Yan’s previous question: “Who would dare to mess with you when you behave like this?”
Du Yan laughed and said: “There are indeed not many people who dare to mess with me. But judging from Shi An’s frightened look, he is probably the first one to be picked out. By the way, isn’t Shi An in the same class with you? When trouble comes, remember to come to me first.”
Zhang Jing knows what kind of personality Du Yan has. Although he no longer takes the initiative to cause trouble under his years of discipline, when trouble comes, it is a rare pleasure for Du Yan.
Zhang Jing didn’t say much at this time, but just said with a smile: “Don’t always treat Shi An as bait. He was a good kid, but now he has become like this.”
Over the years, Shi An has basically become a mean person under the influence of Du Yan. On the surface, he looks weak and easy to bully, but in fact, he is quite ruthless if a fight starts.
Anyway, in elementary school, the trio of Du Yan was very famous, but now this junior high school was still a little far from their home, so their reputation probably won’t spread here.
Zhang Jing looked at Du Yan, thinking that it would not be long before someone else would suffer at the hands of this little scoundrel.
What can he do then? He can only clean up the mess for this little scoundrel. Anyway, it’s not the first or second time that he has to clean up the mess when the little scoundrel gets into trouble. Just get used to it.
However, when the two stood under the tree waiting for Shi An, a completely new trouble that was completely different from the past came to them, which gave Zhang Jing a great shock.
Although the two of them stood in a rather hidden corner, they were still easily discovered by someone who was looking for them.
Two girls stood at the school gate. They looked like they were in the second or third year of junior high school. They whispered to each other first and then walked towards Du Yan and the others.
The round-faced girl asked directly: “Are you freshmen this year? You look familiar to me.”
Zhang Jing’s first reaction was that Du Yan had never left his side from the beginning to the end, so he shouldn’t have gotten into any trouble. Could it be that he had offended someone again when he squeezed to the other side to look at the class list?
Perhaps it was Zhang Jing’s somewhat cautious expression that made the two senior students feel a little embarrassed. Another girl wearing glasses smiled and explained: “It’s nothing, we just thought we might have seen you somewhere, maybe you graduated from the same elementary school, and we wanted to make friends with you.”
Du Yan still looked confused and said: “Ah? I have no impression. You must have remembered it wrongly.”
Zhang Jing took over the conversation and said: “This school only has three elementary schools as its source of students. So there is a one-third chance that they are from the same elementary school as you. Do you have to make friends with every new student?”
“…” The two girls blushed, realizing that the two juniors were completely ignorant of romance, especially the one with a serious face, who was too ruthless in his words.
They looked at each other and said: “Forget it.”
Zhang Jing watched the two girls leave, and his mood, which had barely improved, sank to the bottom again.
Du Yan was still confused and asked: “What the hell? Why did they roll their eyes before they left? I didn’t provoke them…”
Zhang Jing looked at Du Yan in front of him. He has fair skin and delicate features. When he isn’t fighting or making trouble, he is a beautiful boy, and he is the type that girls of his age like.
Zhang Jing suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. He felt that the current situation was very good, and Shi An, who had a weak presence, was already the limit of his tolerance. If another girl came between him and Du Yan, he didn’t think he could endure it any longer.
During this period of junior high school, when attraction is easily aroused, it is necessary to give this restless guy around him a vaccine as a precaution.
After Zhang Jing made up his mind, he spoke directly: “Du Yan, you have to remember that you can’t have puppy love in junior high school.”
“Ah? What?” Du Yan was still a young boy who hadn’t gotten rid of his naughtiness, and he didn’t react for a while.
Zhang Jing mistakenly thought that Du Yan was refuting him and directly stated the reason he had just summarized.
“The high school entrance exam three years from now is very critical. For someone like you who has an indecisive temperament, if you fall in love early, it will definitely affect your studies. If you fail to get into the best high school, with your self-control, you will definitely play all day in an ordinary high school and won’t be able to go to college…”
Du Yan was stunned by what Zhang Jing said and quickly shouted: “Stop, stop, stop. Zhang Xiao Jing, I think I was wrong to call you a little old man before. I shouldn’t call you that.”
Zhang Jing subconsciously asked: “What else do you want to call me?”
Du Yan said: “I think I should call you father. What the hell is going on here? What’s this about puppy love and all that nonsense?”
Zhang Jing finally couldn’t help himself and cursed him: “Scram, who wants to be your father!”
