My Mate Makes Me Hate Studies Chapter 8

The next day, Adrian Chi climbed over the wall and entered the school halfway through the morning. Instead of going to the classroom, he walked along the path around the wall and turned all the way to the comprehensive building.

The teacher from the Logistics Department was playing Candy Crush on his mobile phone. When he heard footsteps, he thought it was the leader coming to inspect, so he quickly put away his phone, sat up straight, and looked at the book "Ideological Education for Youth" in front of him.

Ikeno pretended not to see it, hung a black schoolbag on one shoulder, and knocked on the door.

The logistics teacher was relieved when he saw it, and said in a friendly manner, "Student, what's the matter?"

"Teacher, I want to buy a new school uniform."

Placing the phone upside down on the table, the logistics teacher cleared his throat and took out the registration book, "Name, gender, class, reason for purchase." He then glanced at his watch and said, "Isn't it class time now?"

"Our class was having physical education class, so we hurried to the logistics department to buy school uniforms so as not to delay our studies. My name is Adrian Chi, Ye in the wilderness, male, Class 1, Science, Grade 12, reason... After school, I tied my school uniform to the car seat, and it disappeared when I got home."

Thinking of something, Adrian Chi looked at the register and asked, "Teacher, how many people have come to buy school uniforms since the start of the school year?"

The logistics teacher filled in the word "lost" in the "reason" column and answered, "Do you think everyone is as careless as you? There is only one person, also from your class, Li Yi. He seems to be a new transfer? I don't have any in stock, so he took one set first, and within two days, he said that the original set was lost, so he bought two new sets."

Adrian Chi's eyes fell on the registration book and the column above his name. Sure enough, there were the two words "Jarvin Wen" written neatly.

There are only these two names on this page.

He remembered that day at the intersection of Qixia Road and Jiuzhang Road, he was blocked by someone, beaten from behind and exhausted, and had a severe cut on his waist, bleeding a lot. Lying on the ground, it was raining, his whole body was soaked, and he felt so cold that he felt like he was dying.

Later, I wrapped myself in that piece of clothing and at least I didn’t feel so cold anymore. I used the sleeve of the cloth to press against the wound and lay there for a long time before I recovered.

Ikeno originally wanted to find the "owner" and say thank you, but the school uniform was covered in blood, and after rubbing it with soap three times, there was still a large rusty stain, so he gave up.

After reading the name on the registration book again, and remembering Jarvin Wen's expression of wanting to distance himself from others, Adrian Chi felt that putting a school uniform on him and then turning around and leaving was indeed what Jarvin Wen would do. After all, not taking off the school uniform and covering his face with it to let him rest was already considered a high-level treatment.

After coming out of the logistics department, before I had time to put on my new school uniform, the head teacher Marcus Cheng came towards me.

Adrian Chi secretly glanced at the ceiling - he even wondered if he had a positioning device installed on his body, as how could he encounter it here?

When Marcus Cheng saw Adrian Chi, he didn't bother to talk to the teacher who was traveling with him. He was like a pressure cooker, "Let me see who this is? Adrian Chi! What time is it now? Aren't you supposed to be in the classroom? You can't be here at this time!"

Ikeno held out the school uniform in his hand. "I came here specifically to buy the school uniform and wear it to maintain the school spirit and abide by the school rules."

Marcus Cheng saw that Adrian Chi had indeed grabbed a new school uniform, and remembered that he had run into Jarvin Wen here a few days ago, so he teased, "Did the dog take your school uniform away too?"

The teacher standing nearby was puzzled, "Was it taken away by a dog?"

Marcus Cheng tilted his head, "Teacher Wang, you don't know, there was a transfer student named Jarvin Wen who didn't wear a school uniform the second day he came to school. What kind of excuse is that? I saw him and stopped him. I asked him why he didn't wear a school uniform, but he made up this excuse with his eyes closed. What do you think, is it perfunctory? Should I punish him and make him reflect on himself under the statue of a saint?"

Ikeno, who was listening at the side, laughed out of anger - get lost, be taken away by the dog.

"What are you laughing at?" Marcus Cheng looked at Adrian Chi's expression and thought, "What about you? What's the matter with your school uniform?"

Ikeno said casually, "Unfortunately, my school uniform was also taken away by the dog."

Marcus Cheng: ...

Adrian Chi: "I'm not lying to you. Jarvin Wen and I live close to each other. Maybe it's because the weather has been cold recently. The dogs in our area like to pick up our school uniforms. This also indirectly shows that the school uniforms are of good quality and keep you warm."

After putting on his new school uniform and entering the classroom, Ikeno immediately saw his deskmate doing homework.

Connor Shangguan saw Adrian Chi coming in, his eyes fell on his school uniform, "New?"

Putting the black schoolbag on the desk, Adrian Chi nodded, "Well, the old one was taken away by the dog, so I went to the logistics department to buy a new one."

After saying this, he glanced at Jarvin Wen.

His desk mate was doing his homework and didn't react at all.

Liam Zhao was sleeping on his stomach. He sat up when he heard the noise. "Is this true? What kind of dog would bite a school uniform?"

Suddenly feeling bored, Adrian Chi sat down and leaned back in his chair, "It's fake, there's no dog."

"I was saying," Liam Zhao recalled, "By the way, Brother Chi, you came here on Monday, but you ran away again in the afternoon. That B@st@ard Li Pei was talking bad about you with his gang of B@st@ards while we were eating at the school gate."

Adrian Chi asked nonchalantly: "Who is Li Pei?"

"In physics class, he mocked Jarvin Wen, and you retorted him." Liam Zhao lowered his voice, "That grandson also warned Jarvin Wen to stay away from you, otherwise he might get mad at you if he said something wrong one day---"

"Will you be beaten to death by me?" Adrian Chi took the initiative to finish the second half of the sentence that Liam Zhao didn't dare to say. His eyes were still smiling, but there was a hint of sharpness in his pupils.

"That's right." Liam Zhao coughed lightly, and added quickly, fearing that Adrian Chi would feel upset, "But Jarvin Wen didn't believe a word."

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Jarvin Wen's pen pause for two seconds. Adrian Chi became interested and asked, "What did my deskmate say?"

Liam Zhao was excited when he thought about it, "Jarvin Wen said, what kind of person are you, Brother Chi? He has eyes and can see!"

The smile on Ikeno's lips widened, but he restrained himself and said, "Did you really say that?"

"real---"

"Liam Zhao." Jarvin Wen held the black-shelled pen in his hand, and said with a hint of coldness, "Last class, Oliver Lao asked you to go to his office during the break."

"Damn it, I totally forgot about this!" Liam Zhao picked up a math paper and ran out quickly with his pen in hand.

Adrian Chi tilted his head to look at his deskmate. There was a little bright sunlight outside the window, shining through, and the small mole at the end of Jarvin Wen's eye was obviously bigger. Adrian Chi thought of the dog who loved to bite the school uniform, and said, "Your school---"

"Shut up."

Adrian Chi was not angry when Jarvin Wen interrupted him. He crossed his long legs and spun the pen in his hand flexibly. He said in a gentle voice, "Yeah, no problem."

Jarvin Wen looked at Adrian Chi - is this guy crazy? Not normal.

Jarvin Wen was on duty today. The physics teacher didn't like to use the projector and firmly believed that teachers could conquer the world with just a piece of chalk. But his writing on the blackboard was messy, with smudges all over the place, filling up the entire blackboard, not even leaving out any corners.

After wiping the blackboard, chalk dust filled up the blackboard eraser. Jarvin Wen took the eraser to the hygiene corner to wipe off the dust. After just two wipes, he heard someone shouting, "New classmate, you did it on purpose. You wiped chalk dust all over my pants!"

Jarvin Wen ignored him, wiped the dust off the mop, stood up, looked at the person blocking the road, and said, "Make way."

Li Pei was not prepared to give in. He was just looking for trouble. He said, "A newcomer is so arrogant, you---"

Jarvin Wen gave him a cold look.

Instinct made Li Pei feel a chill on his back. He always thought that this newcomer was a frail nerd, wearing a pair of glasses, weak and introverted, and never talked. He kept a cold face all day long trying to look cool, as if he was dumb.

But at this moment, the pair of eyes he met had no emotion in them. His heart was beating fast, and his feet moved to the side involuntarily to make way.

Ikeno watched the whole thing from his seat, and thought to himself, let me tell you a joke - my deskmate is so weak.

After evening self-study, the students on duty have to stay behind to do the cleaning.

After Jarvin Wen took out the trash, he checked whether the classroom windows were closed, then turned off the lights and left.

Compared with the noisy daytime, the quiet campus at night made him more relaxed. He didn't like the special attention from the head teacher, nor was he used to Liam Zhao's enthusiasm.

Relatively speaking, my deskmate Ikeno is barely okay - at least he's nowhere to be seen for most of the week.

Passing by the stone tablet with the school motto "Respect virtue, be knowledgeable, be rigorous and pioneering" engraved on it, I saw the security guard in the message room standing on a plastic stool to change a light bulb.

The security guard lowered his head and habitually said, "It's getting late, go home quickly and be careful."

Jarvin Wen was stunned for a moment, and replied in a low voice, "Thank you."

The food street outside the school gate had already closed its stalls, and a layer of oil stains condensed on the ground. It was indeed as the security guard said, it was too late, and it was winter, so many shops along the road were closed. There were carts selling roasted sweet potatoes and fried chestnuts on the roadside, adding a little warmth to the winter night.

Jarvin Wen pulled the strap of his black schoolbag, turned the corner, and stopped after two steps.

The road is blocked.

Li Pei put his school uniform at his feet, leaned against the wall, and held a cigarette. "Look who's here. Isn't this our top student? You've worked hard on duty!" He said with a smile, then spit out the cigarette B*tt in his mouth, stepped on it and extinguished it, and changed his tone to a gloomy one, "You really kept us waiting."

A tall, thin guy with dyed yellow hair stood next to him. He took a puff of cigarette, half-closed his eyes, and asked Li Pei, "Is this the new classmate who got in trouble with you? A skinny, weak nerd. Will he be killed with one punch?"

After saying this, the people blocking the road burst into laughter.

Li Pei's face became even more smug, "He's so arrogant when he first came here, so I'll teach him a lesson, right? It's a new place, so he should be low-key. Who are you showing off to all day?"

Jarvin Wen stood where he was, understanding the other party's purpose, and neither moved forward nor retreated.

Li Pei felt that something was wrong, but he didn't have time to think about it. He picked up a wooden stick and walked forward, "Stand still and let your grandfather give you a good beating. You will understand your own importance and our grudge will be settled. From now on, bow to your grandfather and take a detour when you see him!"

After saying that, he held the wooden stick and chopped it diagonally towards Jarvin Wen.

But before the stick in his hand dropped, he felt a sudden sharp pain in his chest with such force that Li Pei took several steps back and fell to the ground. With a "clang", the stick rolled to his feet.

Li Pei's eyes went dark, and he held on to the ground and coughed repeatedly. He felt like he was going to vomit out stomach acid.

Ignoring Li Pei, Jarvin Wen was never one to passively take a beating. He took two steps, took advantage of the fact that the group of people on the opposite side were confused by the kick, grabbed the yellow-haired man's hair, and slammed him against the wall. The wall was uneven, and after three consecutive hits, the blood on his forehead mixed with the slag flowed down, and the blood from his nose was gushing down, just like a face covered with red ink and ketchup.

At this time, someone in the group finally realized what was going on - the nerdy good student, was he kidding me?

It was at this time that Ikeno arrived.

He was riding a black motorcycle and saw Jarvin Wen turning from the side of the road from afar. A moment later, two gangsters with colorfully dyed rooster hair styles also came in.

Feeling that the situation was not good, he parked the car and came in. Sure enough, his desk mate was killing everyone.

The street lights were not very bright. Looking up at the wall, there was a signboard with the words "Happy Hotel" hanging on it. The colorful bulbs were flashing endlessly, just like the lighting effect in a disco. Ikeno stood by and watched, and felt that he should make his presence known. "Classmate, do you need help?"

Jarvin Wen glanced over and said firmly, "No need."

Exactly the same answer as expected.

Ikeno didn't leave, but stood lazily watching the fighting show.

Jarvin Wen's attack was fierce, and his sixth sense was amazing. If someone attacked him from behind, he would react in one second as if he had a sensor detector. Plus, with the wooden stick he grabbed, no one could knock him down.

Feeling a bit tired, Adrian Chi yawned, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw the tall, yellow-haired guy in ragged H!ps-hop clothes moving his sleeves.

Ikeno stood up straight.

Huangmao's face was covered with blood that was almost solidified. He stared at Jarvin Wen with his triangular eyes. He took a wrong step and was right behind Jarvin Wen.

Li Pei rolled on the ground and hugged Jarvin Wen's legs tightly, making it impossible for him to break free for two seconds. At the same time, Huang Mao pulled his sleeves, clenched his fists, and hit Jarvin Wen's back!

Get lost, you eighteen generations of ancestors! Adrian Chi judged that the grandson pretended to make a fist, but in fact he was holding a self-locking spring knife!

If the blade pierces into the back, it can kill someone instantly!

Adrian Chi stepped forward quickly, grabbed the yellow-haired man's wrist tightly like lightning, and pushed it backwards. Immediately, the hand and wrist were bent into an extremely narrow arc.

The fingers lost strength and the spring knife hit the ground, making a crisp sound.

Adrian Chi held the man down and punched him again, his eyes like thorns, and his voice was deep, "Aim to stab him in the back, do you want to kill him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he punched him hard again.

Adrian Chi was a little afraid to think about it. If he hadn't happened to pass by and hadn't followed him, and Jarvin Wen's legs were tripped and unable to move, would the spring knife just now have pierced his heart?

After he dealt with the yellow-haired guy, Jarvin Wen also stopped.

The corner of his eye was scratched by a nail, leaving a bloodstain, which inexplicably had a kind of sharp beauty.

Looking at the yellow-haired man who was lying on the ground and unable to get up after being beaten by Adrian Chi, Jarvin Wen walked closer and stepped on the yellow-haired man's fingers holding the knife, crushing them a few times.

Huangmao's nose was choking with blood and his screams of pain were unclear.

Retracting his foot, Jarvin Wen looked up at Adrian Chi and said, "Thank you. Call me if you need help next time."

The signboard on the top of the building was still flashing, and Adrian Chi could see the entrance of the post office, Jarvin Wen's words "We're even", and last night, the half step back, and the words "No need to bother".

Jianwen Xiao picked up the hood of his black sweatshirt and put it on, then walked forward with his schoolbag. Adrian Chi followed without thinking.

"Asking you to owe someone a favor or to have more involvement with someone is harder than asking you to die."

Jarvin Wen didn't stop, just glanced at Adrian Chi and said, "Who cares?"

This look made him feel irritated, and with the adrenaline still running through his body, Adrian Chi put his hands on Jarvin Wen's shoulders, squeezed them tightly, and with a deft move, he pressed him against the wall.

Others also approached, their eyes swept over the trace of blood under Jarvin Wen's eyes, and finally met Jarvin Wen's cold eyes. Adrian Chi curled his lips, shrouded the man in his shadow, and moved closer to whisper, "I'm really sorry, your brother Chi saved your life, you don't want to owe it, but you still owe it."
