This was the first time Cameron Yan saw Dominic Jiang fighting. He found that Dominic Jiang was not as thin as he had imagined. He was quite powerful when fighting, but he just didn't have any skills. In this two-on-three fight, no one gained anything in the end.
On the way to the office, he patted Dominic Jiang on the shoulder, hinting that he and he were teammates on the same front, and whispered to comfort him: "It's okay, we'll be together."
Although the fight on campus was serious, he and Finn Lu could both prove that the other side started the fight first, and Dominic Jiang could only write a self-criticism for starting the fight.
Dominic Jiang glanced at him and said in a flat tone: "You shouldn't have come."
Cameron Yan immediately disagreed with this statement and refuted him: "That won't work."
Dominic Jiang looked at him for a few seconds and then looked away. Cameron Yan thought that Dominic Jiang was dazzled by his majestic image.
While being interrogated in the office, Cameron Yan also learned why they appeared together.
Fang Yu wanted to ask Dominic Jiang to help him write an article, and said that he could give a considerable amount of money. Cameron Yan was not clear about the details because he had been pulled outside by the head teacher and reprimanded.
Fang Yu and Dominic Jiang were the only ones in the office answering inquiries. Not long after, the teacher asked them to call their parents.
Five students stood in the office with their heads down. If you ignore the frustration on their faces, they do look quite impressive. Unfortunately, even the most unruly students would find it difficult to look relaxed when they have to call their parents.
Although Cameron Yan looked like a naughty boy who was active since childhood and liked to tease his classmates and make little girls cry, he had indeed never done anything that required his parents to be called.
But he was not afraid of being called in by his parents, after all, he had done nothing wrong. The other person had hit him in the face, so how could he just stand there and get hit?
He called both his parents, but one was busy inspecting the construction site and couldn't leave, and the other was counting goods for a customer and couldn't leave. He could only call his sister who was a sophomore in college.
Delilah Yan was like a wild horse after entering university, with so much free time that she could go home every day. When she heard that her brother needed to ask his parents to come to school, her first reaction was to ask him what he had done wrong.
Cameron Yan gave a casual explanation and asked her to come to school quickly.
When he finished the call, Dominic Jiang was still standing beside him without moving. He walked over and looked out the window with him: "Aren't you going to make a call?"
At this time, Dominic Jiang was also frank and answered every question. He said: "My parents are not here, no one will come."
He stated it calmly, without any complaints about his parents' absence to uphold justice for him, nor was he too angry. In fact, his emotions were richer when he talked about the game than they were now.
Cameron Yan knew that Dominic Jiang was not saying this to gain sympathy, but was simply answering the question he asked. However, his mind jumped back to the thoughts he had when he first introduced himself to Dominic Jiang.
All parents of the students involved in the dispute will be present, and Dominic Jiang deserves such treatment.
So he expressed his thoughts seriously: "It's okay, my sister has a strong temper and joined the debate team, she can be the agent for both of us."
He did not do this out of sympathy, nor did he feel pity for Dominic Jiang, because Dominic Jiang was not fragile and did not need to rely on the pity of others to receive certain preferential treatment.
Dominic Jiang glanced at him, perhaps just regarding his words as a manifestation of loyalty, and was a little moved, but he didn't believe it too much.
The office became even more crowded after the parents arrived. Finally, the grade director asked them to move to the conference room and narrated the whole incident in detail.
Cameron Yan naturally sat on the same side as Dominic Jiang, and next to him sat Delilah Yan, who had just dyed his hair orange.
There were four parents opposite the three people, and seven pairs of eyes looked over at the same time. Cameron Yan looked over without any fear.
The original mediation gradually turned into a quarrel. The head teacher tried his best to mediate, but with too many people talking and too many opinions, the effect was minimal.
The other party's parents wanted Dominic Jiang and Cameron Yan to give an explanation for the injuries on their children. Looking at the two high school students and one college student, they were so angry that they seemed to be ready to start another gang fight here.
At this time, Delilah Yan made full use of the experience he had accumulated in the debate team. He first responded to the arguments one by one at a rapid speed, and then threw the topic to the head of the grade.
While the adults were arguing, Cameron Yan seemed to have nothing to do. He tugged at Dominic Jiang's clothes under the table and asked him with his mouth: "Do you want to go to the school gate to eat rice noodles later?"
Dominic Jiang also looked a little bored. He lowered his head, looked at him, and nodded very slightly.
When the sky gradually changed from blue to orange, they finally walked out of the meeting room.
The final result was neither good nor bad. In addition to writing a self-review, Fang Yu and his classmates also had to perform on-campus service for one semester. If they did not perform well, a disciplinary action would be directly recorded in their files.
Originally, Cameron Yan was also required to write a self-criticism, but due to Delilah Yan's strong arguments, this punishment was exempted.
Delilah Yan, like a victorious rooster, led Cameron Yan and Dominic Jiang out of the school gate with great dignity.
Cameron Yan put his arm around Dominic Jiang's shoulders and said proudly, "I didn't lie to you, my sister is really good at talking."
"Do you think I'm as clueless as you?" Delilah Yan patted his brother's head unceremoniously, and then said with a bit of pride, "Luckily I'm here, otherwise you would have to write a self-criticism. I dyed my hair like this to look impressive, right? I feel like everyone's eyes are on me when I come in..."
The two of them exchanged a few words, and Delilah Yan took the lead in talking to the quiet Dominic Jiang: "Is it hard to get along with my brother? He jumps up and down like a monkey all day long, which is really tiring."
"Fortunately, he is very enthusiastic." Dominic Jiang answered pertinently.
Although Cameron Yan had heard this term many times, when Dominic Jiang said it, Cameron Yan felt that it was some kind of recognition. He raised his eyebrows and said, "I call this sticking my neck out for my friends."
Delilah Yan was used to Cameron Yan's arrogance, and spoke to Dominic Jiang again: "You can't give in to such a person, you should fight back. You two did a good job today, come on, I'll treat you to dinner."
Delilah Yan waved his hand and took the two of them in a taxi to a nearby business district.
Cameron Yan excitedly said that he was going to a seafood restaurant with a good reputation. It was a newly opened restaurant and he heard that the quality was fresh, but he was reluctant to spend the money.
"You're really rude." Although Delilah Yan said this, he still took the two of them in and found an empty seat.
Cameron Yan sat next to Dominic Jiang and emphasized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kill his sister, so he could order whatever he wanted to eat.
He also ordered a special drink here, but the taste was very ordinary. Cameron Yan commented after drinking it: "It seems that my taste buds are still suitable for sweeteners."
Cameron Yan was afraid that Dominic Jiang would be awkward, so he asked him four or five times during the meal if he wanted more dishes, until Dominic Jiang held down his hand that was still trying to put crabs on his plate and said, "No, I can't eat much."
When Dominic Jiang spoke, his eyes were gentler than usual, and his tone might also be softer than usual. Cameron Yan felt that the former was probably due to the lighting in the restaurant, and the latter was because Dominic Jiang had a good meal, so he was in a good mood.
But no matter what, Dominic Jiang's mood was better than when he was in the office.
While they were eating, Delilah Yan received three phone calls, with a shy smile on her face.
Cameron Yan guessed that the person who called must be Delilah Yan's boyfriend, and it was indeed the case. As soon as they finished eating and walked out of the restaurant, a tall boy came over and naturally put his arm around Delilah Yan's shoulders.
Delilah Yan transferred some money to Cameron Yan, asked him to send Dominic Jiang into the taxi, and then went on a date with her boyfriend.
Cameron Yan looked at the time and saw that there was still more than an hour before the mall closed, so he suggested going for a walk to help digest the food, and Dominic Jiang nodded.
So the two of them wandered around aimlessly until Cameron Yan saw a glasses shop and asked the person next to him: "Do you want to go get a pair of glasses? We just happened to walk here."
Dominic Jiang hasn't worn glasses for a long time. Although his life seems to be unhindered without glasses, Cameron Yan still remembers the broken frame. The frame looks like it has been used for a long time, and Dominic Jiang seems to be a little concerned.
Dominic Jiang seemed to be in a very good mood today. He did not say a word of disagreement with any of Cameron Yan's suggestions, nor did he interrupt his good intentions with any unfriendly words.
When the two entered the store, the salesperson began to enthusiastically promote various frames. Dominic Jiang told the salesperson a few requests, and the salesperson took them to a counter and showed them a few pairs of the latest popular frames.
Cameron Yan had no idea how to choose glasses frames, but he enjoyed choosing them. He pointed out two pairs of glasses that he thought would suit Dominic Jiang's face shape and asked him to try them on.
Dominic Jiang looked at the two pairs he pointed out, picked one that he liked and put it on, then turned to look at Cameron Yan, as if waiting for his opinion.
Cameron Yan examined it carefully and nodded in agreement: "Not bad, what do you think?"
In fact, he couldn't tell the difference between these frames, but with Dominic Jiang's face like this, almost none of them would look bad on him.
Dominic Jiang hummed and handed the frame to the salesperson: "This is it."
Then, under the guidance of the shopping guide, he went to have his eyesight tested and get lenses fitted. The process was quick. Cameron Yan had just opened his mobile phone to play a few games when Dominic Jiang came out.
The night wind was already mixed with a hint of chill, and the breathable school uniform could not cope with such a temperature. Cameron Yan shivered with cold just after coming out of the mall, and could not help but buy two cups of hot lemon tea.
When he handed the drink to Jiang Yu, he realized that the back of his hand was also cold, but he couldn't see it from his expression.
"I originally wanted to take you for a walk along the riverside, but it's too cold. Let's go back quickly. I'll call a taxi for you." He pulled Dominic Jiang to the side of the road.
"It's because you are afraid of the cold that you think I'm cold too." Dominic Jiang retorted slowly, his voice seemed to have a hint of smile, and in that smile Cameron Yan was too sensitive to the cold.
"How is that possible?! I'm just afraid that you can't bear it. Your skin is so white and you look weak." Cameron Yan certainly refused to admit that he was afraid of the cold, but because of Dominic Jiang's light rebuttal, his mood inexplicably improved.
In order to prove that he was really not afraid of the cold, he took Dominic Jiang for a walk in the park.
During the conversation, they were very casual, because the topic would always turn to strange places. At that time, Cameron Yan's thoughts were jumping and he had not yet successfully gotten rid of his second-year syndrome. He made many behaviors and asked many confusing questions that now seem childish, but Dominic Jiang gave a serious answer to each of his questions.
Cameron Yan is very honest with himself. If he likes something, he likes it; if he hates something, he hates it.
Although Dominic Jiang seemed unfriendly and gloomy in the eyes of others, the Dominic Jiang in his cognition was not like that. He did well in both studying and playing games, and would not feel hurt by other people's misunderstandings. At least he had never seen someone like Dominic Jiang.
Even if Cameron Yan had to do it all over again, he still wouldn't think that holding Dominic Jiang outside the e-sports stadium was something he would regret. Author's words: Xiao Yan: He admits that I'm passionate!
