Ye Chen felt awkward when he saw him acting like a monkey. He reached out and punched his bulging belly.
Zhang Xiaopang clutched his stomach and glared at Ye Chen with a bitter expression."What are you doing? I just ate my fill!"
"It looks silly."
Ye Chen said calmly.
"Brother Fei, why do I feel like you've changed these few days? You don't even go to the arcade with me after school.”
Zhang Rui's eyes were full of resentment, like a little wife who had been neglected.
He was not very sociable in class and only had one friend, Jordan.
The corners of Ye Chen's mouth twitched. He clenched his fists and threatened angrily,"If you keep looking at me like that, I'll punch you!”
Zhang Rui hurriedly took a step back and looked at him with an aggrieved expression.
"After school in the afternoon, come with me to send Xiaochan back, and then we'll go to the arcade to play.”
Ye Chen decided to go play with him.
Firstly, he was nostalgic about the arcade of this era, and he wanted to visit it again. Secondly, he wanted to maintain the friendship between him and his best friend.
In his previous life, after graduating from junior high school, Zhang Rui did not get into the same high school as him. Instead, he went to a high school to learn cooking. For a foodie like him, it was a very suitable major.
At first, the two of them kept in touch and would hang out together during the holidays. Later, as Ye Chen became more and more nervous about his studies, their relationship gradually drifted apart.
However, something happened that touched Ye Chen.
In his second year of university, he foolishly spent half a year's living expenses to buy a new phone as a gift for his girlfriend at that time. He even had no money to eat.
He was very proud, but he didn't want to ask for money from his family or borrow money from his classmates. He could only do his best to work part-time, but the money he earned from part-time jobs was still very difficult to make a living.
If he was alone, it would be fine, but the expenses of dating were a little high.
Later, when Zhang Rui called him after a long time, saying that he wanted to come to their school to play and asked him to treat him to a meal, Jordan accidentally blurted out that he had no money to eat and could not treat him to a meal.
When Zhang Rui heard this, he hurriedly asked what was going on. Ye Chen had no choice but to tell the truth.
After the call ended, Jordan received 7,500 yuan from Zhang Rui's WeChat.
One had to know that Zhang Rui was still an apprentice chef at that time. His monthly salary was about 2,000 yuan. This was probably all his savings.
Ye Chen did not want to accept it, but Zhang Rui threatened him that if he dared not accept it, he would pretend that he was not a friend.
After that day, the two of them kept in touch with each other more frequently.
In this life, Ye Chen wanted to help his best friend so that his life would be smoother and happier.
"Really? That's great. I heard that there's a new arcade nearby. I haven't been there yet. We agreed to go together after school.”
Zhang Rui immediately became excited, his eyes narrowed into slits.
At this moment, the bell rang.
"Got it. Hurry up and go back to your seat.”
Jordan waved his hand in amusement.
There were four classes in the morning, two for math and two for English.
The knowledge of elementary school was still simple for Ye Chen. As he listened, he became a little bored. He propped his chin with one hand and stared out the window in a daze, thinking about some plans for the future.
………………
After school at noon, Ye Chen and Zhang Rui walked out of the classroom together, ready to look for Xia Muxi to go home for dinner.
"Ye Chen, Ye Chen."
A girl with baby fat ran over in panic.
Ye Chen recognized that the girl was Xia Muxi's good friend from class. Seeing her flustered expression, he immediately realized that something had happened. He rushed forward and asked anxiously,"Xiong Jia, what's wrong? What happened?"
"Xiaochan, Xiaochan is being bullied by a boy.”
Xiong Jia's eyes were red, and she was so anxious that she was about to cry.
“艹!”
Zhang Rui directly cursed.
Ye Chen's face was dark and he did not say anything. He immediately rushed towards Xia Muxi's classroom.
Zhang Rui and Xiong Jia ran slowly, panting as they followed behind.
"Dai Tong, you, can you return the hair clip to me? I'm going home.”
When Ye Chen rushed out of the classroom, he heard Xia Muxi's familiar voice.
Her weak voice was filled with pleading and helplessness.
Ye Chen's anger flared up.
Through the window, he saw Xia Muxi standing in front of him. There was a burly boy holding her butterfly hair clip with a mocking smile on his face.
"I won't return it. Xia Muxi, is it true that you told Xiong Jia in class that you want to marry a boy? You're only eight years old. It's so embarrassing. That's something only adults can do.”
"Haha…"
"Give birth to a child. Xia Muxi is giving birth to a child. How embarrassing!”
A few lackeys followed suit and jeered.
Some of the students who had not returned laughed along. Some of them felt sorry for Xia Muxi, but they did not dare to go up and help.
"No, no, we…"
Xia Muxi's big eyes were filled with tears. She looked flustered and wanted to explain, but she did not know what to say. Her voice was completely drowned out by the laughter.
"Bang!"
The classroom door was kicked open, giving everyone a fright.
The devilish brat called Dai Tong had just turned his head to look when he was kicked by Ye Chen and fell heavily backward.
