Hu Changqing drove Su Guangwen around Jiangcheng, including Jiangnan Road and Jiangbei Road in Nanshan District and the pedestrian street in Jiangkou. Finally, he took him to the bridge to eat some authentic Jiangcheng snacks before sending him back to the river. It was almost 4:30. Su Guangwen was a bit overwhelmed by what he saw in the afternoon and was unexpectedly silent on the way back.
He was no longer as excited and nervous as he had been at the beginning. He had been wandering around and hiding from the world for so many years. Suddenly, he began to come into contact with this society. His thoughts were a little derailed. He was not used to this ever-changing society and was afraid of the unknown. Although he had walked in the crowd when he was wandering, it was just a simple pass. He looked from afar and thought that he would soon be able to integrate into such a life. He was at a loss and felt uneasy.
When Hu Changqing got out of the car, he really wanted to ask Su Wenguang if he regretted choosing such a life with his skills, but he didn't ask in the end. With the old man's temperament and upbringing, as well as the education he received since he was young, since he had endured for more than 20 years, he should have been open-minded and knew what he wanted. Why would he suddenly see so many colorful worlds and reject his previous decision? She suddenly thought of Su Wenguang insisting on living such a miserable life. She wondered if he had mentioned his intention of atoning for the murder he committed back then.
Hu Changqing could not help but envy Su Wenguang as he watched the elegant figure get out of the car without any reluctance and walk towards the broken boat that rose and fell with the waves by the river. His footsteps were so firm. After a short struggle, his eyes immediately became clear and his face returned to its usual calmness. If a person knew what he wanted, it was undoubtedly a blissful thing. Even if he was poor and lived in a shabby house, at least his heart was rich. He was strong enough to support his humble abode in the midst of the storm.
When he drove to No. 12 High School, Hu Changqing was still impressed by Su Wenguang's temperament and bearing. However, he knew that this kind of thing came from his life experience. He still had a long way to go, and officialdom was the best way to train his heart. As long as he adjusted his mentality and participated in it, he believed that he would soon find what he wanted. However, the key was how to make him participate willingly. The temptation of power was for him. It really wasn't very attractive.
Just after turning a corner, his phone rang. It was an unknown number. Hu Changqing hesitated for a moment before picking it up. As soon as he picked it up, he heard an anxious voice from the other end. His face could not help but turn ashen. His heart could not help but tighten, and his heartbeat suddenly sped up. A trace of viciousness and cruelty flashed across his eyes, and the car could not help but speed up.
After Gong Pei and Yao Chen got out of Hu Changqing's car, they didn't return to the classroom immediately. Although it was almost time for class, Yao Chen felt that it was better not to go to the classroom when he saw Gong Pei's current state. Therefore, the two of them carried the pizza to the shade of the tree beside the school's basketball court. Gong Pei still looked a little depressed. She sat on the long wooden chair under the shade of the tree with a dazed expression. Her eyes were out of focus as she looked into the distance. No one knew where her thoughts were, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Gong Pei, actually, I envy you very much. You have a family that cares about you, even if they are very strict.”When Yao Chen saw Gong Pei's expression, he knew that he had to do something. Otherwise, he would be crippled this afternoon. When Hu Changqing came over to pick up Gong Pei, who knew how furious he would be?
"Especially your cousin. He treats you really well. I've wanted a brother since I was young, but I only saw him in my dreams.”Seeing Gong Pei's indifferent expression, Yao Chen couldn't help but feel a little angry. He said in a serious tone,"Actually, I really look down on you. You have such a good family background, but you still live such a useless life. You're even bullied by bad students. I'm really speechless. No wonder your brother is so angry.”
Perhaps Yao Chen's words were too intense, Gong Pei turned to look at her and Yao Chen continued,"Also, I'm very jealous of you. Look, you're not as pretty as me, but there are actually more boys chasing you in school than me.”
Gong Pei was still a child. When he heard Yao Chen's slander, he looked at her expressionlessly and said,"No, I don't want those boys to chase me. If you like them, you can take them all.”
When Yao Chen heard Gong Pei's response, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes. He replied with slight displeasure,"I just can't stand it. I don't like those self-righteous little brats. Only you will be happy about their pursuit. Don't think I don't know. Last time, when Feng Wei from the basketball team sent you a love letter, you were excited for an entire afternoon.”
Gong Pei seemed to have his secret discovered. He was a little angry and said angrily to Yao Chen,"Yao Chen, you're really despicable. You actually secretly observed me.”
Yao Chen smiled." Baituo, I'll sit beside you, okay? Who would want to observe you? It's just that your expression is too exaggerated. I'm a little speechless about your taste."”Seeing Gong Pei gradually recover, Yao Chen could not help but become more and more relaxed in his response.
Gong Pei saw Yao Chen's smile and couldn't help but hesitate. He asked,"Is Feng Wei really that bad? He was very handsome when he played basketball, and he was also quite good-looking. Many girls liked him.”
Yao Chen placed the pizza between the two of them and opened it to take a piece. As he ate, he said,"Isn't she just relying on her good looks? Chasing girls all over the school like a Casanova. Only those retarded girls would be fooled by him. Sigh, this pizza tastes good. You should try it too.”
Gong Pei hesitated for a moment, then picked up a piece and said,"I wasn't cheated by him. I just think that this boy is not bad. He plays like Liu Chuanfeng, so I'm a little happy to receive his love letter.。。。。。”After saying that, he couldn't help but stop, and his expression became a little silent again.
Yao Chen couldn't help but be curious. He had just recovered, so why did it become like this again? He asked,"What's wrong?"
Gong Pei took a bite of the pizza and said in a low voice,"It's seafood. It's my favorite.”
A trace of jealousy flashed in Yao Chen's heart as he smiled and said,""I thought it was something. It's normal for your brother to buy your favorite flavor.”
Gong Pei took another bite and said as he ate,"But this time, my brother is very angry. Yao Yao, did I really do something wrong? "But if my brother gets angry, he will hit Zhou Ming, and Zhou Ming will be very miserable. In the past, I had a classmate who was beaten up and hospitalized for three months. Later on, my classmates didn't want to play with me, so I transferred to No. 12 High School in high school.”
Yao Chen saw that Gong Pei had finally returned to this question, and his heart couldn't help but relax. He carefully asked,"Gong Pei, can you tell me about your family background?”
Gong Pei was eating pizza when he looked at Yao Chen. He hesitated but still said,"My dad is the Secretary of the Political and Law Committee of Jiang City, and my mom is a soldier.”
When Yao Chen heard that Gong Pei's father was actually the Secretary of the Political and Law Committee of Jiang City, he couldn't help but be shocked, but he still asked,""What about your brother?"
Gong Pei did not hesitate and continued,"My brother is the director of the second office of the Jiangcheng Municipal Party Committee Office. I also have a cousin who is the deputy chief prosecutor of the Jiangcheng Provincial People's Court. My brother has an uncle in the provincial party committee. Are you satisfied now?”As he spoke, his tone was somewhat meaningful.
Yao Chen was a little confused by the series of positions, but in the end, the provincial party committee still heard it clearly. He couldn't help but be shocked. It was obvious that Gong Pei's family was a very powerful family in Jiang City and even Jiangbei Province. It was completely different from the district and county officials that she had seen in Louhua. Yao Chen couldn't help but feel more warm towards Gong Pei, but at the same time, he felt a little respectful, especially Gong Pei's last sentence. This girl that he thought was a little childish wasn't simple.
Yao Chen restrained his emotions and said,"Mm, don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Can we still be friends with Gong Pei?”
Gong Pei looked at Yao Chen with a smile that was not a smile and said,"But just now, you said that you looked down on me and were jealous of me. Can you still be friends with me?”
Yao Chen's expression could not help but become embarrassed. He felt a little disappointed as he said,"Gong Pei, just now…" Just as she was about to explain, she was interrupted by Gong Pei. Her heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and her expression became a little stiff. Actually, what she said just now was really from the bottom of her heart, and she just happened to take this opportunity to say it.
Gong Pei used his hand to interrupt Yao Chen's explanation and said with a smile,"Yao Yao, you don't have to say anymore. You were trying to divert my attention just now for my own good, right? Besides, it doesn't matter whether it's true or not. My brother said you're good, so you should be good.”After saying that, he handed a slice of pizza to Yao Chen.
Yao Chen held the pizza in his hand, his heart filled with mixed feelings. In that moment just now, his heart was fluctuating and was completely controlled by the girl beside him who had tears at the corner of her eyes. He always thought that she was innocent, but from the beginning to the end, he was too stupid and naive.
Gong Pei might not be as intelligent as she was, able to read people's expressions and be calculative, but her position did not require her to do so. Her background had already determined that she could see further than many people. The problem was whether she cared or not. There was no doubt that she had seen through all the petty tricks he had played in front of her in the past. How could a child from an official family be simple? She could not help but mock herself in her heart.
Yao Chen took a bite of the pizza in his hand. He thought it was delicious just now, but now it actually became tasteless. However, he still ate it mechanically and said as he ate,"Gong Pei, in a family like yours, there is no need to lower yourself to the level of a hooligan like Zhou Ming. You have heard that Zhou Ming might have killed someone before. Although you don't know if it's true or not, he has a bad reputation in school. As the saying goes, a gentleman doesn't stand on a dangerous wall. How can you put yourself in danger when you are born in such a family? If you care about the opinions of your classmates after the accident, you don't have to. The psychology of middle school and high school students is different. When you were in middle school, your classmates isolated you because they felt that there was a distance between you and them. At that time, the students 'mentality was relatively simple. However, when you reached high school, if your classmates knew that you had such a family, they would flatter you. At that time, you might be even more unhappy. However, these were all fleeting clouds. As you grew older, your interactions with these classmates would become smaller and smaller. Now, you understand what mistake you made. Oh, no, you were wrong about something. Today was really dangerous. Especially Zhou Ming's boss, that guy called Black Dragon. I feel my heart go numb just looking at him.”
Gong Pei hugged his knees and quietly listened to Yao Chen. His eyes revealed a pondering expression. After a long time, his eyes regained their liveliness. He sighed and said to Yao Chen,"Yao Yao, thank you. It seems like my brother is right. You know a lot. Ah, there's so much pizza. Let's eat some more before throwing it away.”
Seeing that Gong Pei had completely returned to normal, Yao Chen couldn't help but feel relieved. Moreover, she felt that after today's conversation, her relationship with Gong Pei had become a step closer. Her heart couldn't help but brighten up, and other thoughts came to mind. The pizza that was a little hard in her mouth actually tasted sweet again. Her bright and moving eyes naturally turned into a crescent moon, and she became lively all of a sudden.
