Chapter 43
As the end of the term draws near, schoolwork is getting heavier, Xinglan not only has to prepare for academic matters, but also has to worry about art exams.
His current score has steadily increased to 450 points, but he is still far from a good university.
In addition, he himself likes acting, so Pei Musi signed up for a training class for him, and he needs to be sent to tutoring every weekend.
Recently, Pei Yuan only called Pei Musi a few times. Seeing that he was determined, he didn't mention the matter of making him give up, but his tone was somewhat helpless.
"After the final exam, let's go play something exciting." Between classes, Lu Huai sat on the table and suggested, "We can go to the beach to play, anyway, it's not far from here."
Hearing the word "seaside", Xinglan raised her forehead: "Are you really going? Which sea are you going to?"
Lu Huai was touching his chin when Pei Musi's leisurely voice came from beside him.
"Going to the beach in winter? We won't go with you to get wind."
Lu Huai patted his head: "That's right. Then change the place."
Xing Lan shrugged and looked away: "I will go wherever Mu Mu goes."
Lu Huai pretended to be sick and rolled his eyes.
It was very cold in January, and the students seldom went out to play during the big class break. Only a few enthusiastic fans of basketball enjoyed playing basketball on the basketball court.
Xing Lan and Pei Musi went to buy milk tea, on the way Pei Musi asked, "Are you homesick?"
"I don't want to." Xing Lan tried to eat Pei Musi's taro ball milk tea, took a sip and frowned: "It's not sweet at all." He actually missed his parents very much, but he was afraid that saying this to Pei Musi would make him seem too old Not being happy made Pei Musi sad.
The topic was gently lifted, and Pei Musi sensed his thoughts, and casually asked, "Where do you want to go after the exam?"
"Let me think about it." Xing Lan thought about it and said, "I want to go to Fairy Tale Town. I haven't traveled far since I came to Ningcheng."
"Yes." Pei Musi said softly, "You can stay there for a few days, and there will be a fireworks show next to the castle at night."
Xinglan smiled: "Mu Mu, you're so kind." As she said that, she stretched out her hand and scratched Pei Musi's chin, and said carelessly, "Give me a smile."
Pei Musi snorted softly: "The prerequisite for taking you to Fairy Tale Town is that you get good grades in the exam, otherwise you'll just stay at home and study."
"Don't worry, I've been serious recently." Xing Lan was inexplicably confident.
After the evening self-study, everyone left the school one after another.
Because of a big math problem, Xing Lan didn't understand the idea of solving the problem, so Pei Musi stayed with him until late.By the time the math problems were successfully solved, the teaching building was already empty.
In the dark corridor, Xinglan was thinking about what to have for supper with his dinosaur schoolbag on his back, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a dispute in the teaching building next door.
A thin and small boy seemed to be surrounded by a group of people in a corner, his figure looming.Since eating the wisdom fruit, his eyesight is very good.Things in the distance can also be seen clearly.
Seeing him stop, Pei Musi followed his line of sight, but saw nothing.
Xinglan muttered worriedly: "It seems like someone is fighting."
Pei Musi hesitated for a moment: "Go and have a look."
Opposite was the senior high school teaching building. When they walked over, the sound of arguing was coming from the boys' toilet on the first floor.
"I'm really out of money." The thin boy with glasses sat in the corner and said in a humble tone, "If you don't believe me, look at my wallet."
The boy in front of him was a full 1.9m tall, and his hair was specially dyed with a strand of blue, so he was nicknamed Blue Hair.He squinted his eyes with a cigarette in his mouth: "Cheating fools? Who still uses cash these days? Show me if there is any money in WeChat."
The boy shook his head in fear: "I really don't have one. I already gave you 5000 yuan last time."
Lan Mao snorted: "Can't you ask your parents?"
The boy trembled: "My family's business has not been very good recently, and the family's financial difficulties."
"Isn't your family selling a house? How can you not have this little money?" Lan Mao gestured with his eyes, and the younger brothers around him immediately gathered around.
There were bursts of begging from the toilet, and Xinglan's cheeks were stained with anger: "How can they bully people like this? Wouldn't they earn money if they wanted it?"
Pei Musi replied in a low voice: "His nickname is Lan Mao, and he often bullies his classmates. Moreover, he has a background in his family and is about to graduate soon, so the teacher doesn't bother to care about him."
There was a strange smell in the toilet, Xing Lan covered his nose: "Why do you bully people in the toilet? It stinks."
"There are no cameras in the toilet."
The two were talking, and the blue hair had already dragged the boy out of the toilet and walked out of the school.
Xinglan and Pei Musi hid at the corner, quietly showing their heads: "Mu Mu, let's help him quickly, I think he is in danger."
Pei Musi nodded his chin: "Okay, but—"
Before he could finish speaking, Xing Lan jumped out and shouted loudly: "Stop! See the road is uneven and let out a roar!"
The deep and dark corridor was full of echoes of Xinglan's words.
Pei Musi retracted his legs, turned around and said, "I'm leaving now, is there still time?"
When Lan Mao first heard someone behind him, and with such a sonorous and powerful shout, his heart began to beat.But when he turned around, there was a boy with a slender figure and a handsome face in front of him.
"Who are you? Don't meddle in your own business." Lan Mao's mouth became dirty, and he cursed: "Hurry up and get out, I will forgive you once."
Xinglan was not afraid, and stepped forward to block his way: "You don't even know me?"
Lan Mao spotted him again: "I don't know."
Xing Lan pointed behind him: "You always know him, right?"
Lan Mao frowned: "Is there something wrong? Is there anyone behind you?"
Xing Lan turned her head anxiously, but there was no sign of Pei Musi behind her.After a moment of timidity, he puffed out his chest and raised his head: "Hurry up and let this classmate go, or I will tell the teacher."
"Hahahaha." People around laughed.
Lan Mao took a step forward: "Tell the teacher? Brother, are you still weaned?" Seeing that Xinglan looks good, Lan Mao's smile is unclear: "What are you telling the teacher?"
Xing Lan said righteously: "You blocked your classmates in the toilet and asked for money."
"Oh? Is there any evidence?" Lan Mao grabbed the boy's shoulder and asked coldly, "Did I bully you?"
The boy shrank his head and shook his head desperately: "No..."
"Look." Lan Mao breathed out towards Xinglan, "I did beat him today, but do you think he dares to admit it? Even if you sue the teacher, you can't do anything to me."
After finishing speaking, Lanmao looked at Xinglan's cheek, and stretched out his hand to touch his face, "Brother, which class are you in? Why hasn't my brother seen you?"
Xing Lan stared in disgust, and was about to punch him, but Pei Musi's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Holding up his mobile phone, Pei Musi said in a cold voice: "What you did just now has been recorded on the mobile phone, and now there is evidence. If I show this video to the principal, how do you think he will deal with you?"
"Pei Musi?" Lan Mao was a little flustered, and asked angrily, "Why do you care about my business?"
Pei Musi raised his eyebrows lightly: "The road is not fair."
"Okay, I admit it." Lan Mao glared at the boy, then winked at the followers, "Let's go."
After they left, the boy still had lingering fears.He sniffled and said weakly, "Thank you."
Pei Musi pulled Xinglan to his side and showed him the video: "Give me the contact information, I will give you the video, and you can decide what to do with it."
The boy stared at the video hesitantly, and finally nodded.
Leaving the school, Xing Lan was quite puzzled: "Mu Mu, why didn't you give the video to the principal? I think that person is very scared, maybe he doesn't have the courage."
"It's precisely because of this that I can't make decisions for him." Pei Musi explained, "What if Lan Mao only takes one punishment and bullies him even more in the future?"
"If you don't give the video to the principal, that person will still be bullied."
"So, this matter still needs to wait for an opportunity, and then make another move to get rid of the fire."
Going to school the next day, Xing Lan deliberately inquired about Lan Mao's reputation, and the information he got made him amazed.This blue hair can almost be described as doing no evil.
Although Xinglan's righteous little rocket is ready to go, Pei Musi told him to stay calm.
"I hope to deal with him quickly! He actually wanted to touch my face yesterday!" Xing Lan said angrily.
"What? He wants to touch your face?" Pei Musi's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Why didn't you say it yesterday?"
Xing Lan coaxed back: "Is it important to say when?"
Pei Musi stared at his cheek: "Then as soon as possible."
On weekends, Pei Musi went to send Xinglan to learn acting as usual.
After the first three separate trainings, Xing Lan has mastered the basic theory and connotation of acting, and began to train with the students in the small training class.
Pei Musi was worried that Xinglan would get into an accident by taking a taxi, so he would personally take him there every time, and then sit beside him doing homework or playing games.
Soon, he, an unshakable student caught between his parents' generation, got the attention of others.
The families of the students who sign up for this training class are well-off. After all, the annual tuition fee is 10w, which is not a small amount for ordinary families.
"Hey, who is that handsome guy?"
"Yes, Ang, is he the elder brother of our classmate?"
"I kind of want WeChat."
During the break, Xinglan heard them talking, grinning and said: "My boyfriend."
As the top face in the class, Xinglan is also very popular. In addition, the teacher often praises Xinglan for his talent in acting. Many boys and girls love Xinglan very much.
Hearing that he has a super handsome boyfriend, everyone in the class immediately gathered around, asking questions around Xinglan.
Through the transparent glass windows, the outside of the picture in the training room can be seen at a glance.
Pei Musi lazily put down his book and stared at the boy closest to Xinglan.That boy is tall and has an outstanding appearance. If he becomes a star in the future, he will definitely be popular.
He was too close to Xinglan, almost poked his face.
After the training, when Xinglan was packing his schoolbag, a boy named Qi Xuan came over.Mysteriously asked: "You also like boys?"
"Yeah." Xing Lan replied.
Qi Xuan glanced at Pei Musi outside, and said cheerfully: "Your boyfriend is so handsome, he matches you very well. I think he comes to see you off every week. You two have such a good relationship."
"Thank you." Xing Lan put her schoolbag on her back, and when she said goodbye, she said shyly, "He was afraid that it would be unsafe for me to take a taxi, so he followed me all the time."
"I'm so happy." Seeing that Xinglan's clothes are expensive, and there are even some big-name custom-made styles, Qi Xuan guesses that he should be a young master.
"Hey!" Qi Xuan touched Xinglan with his shoulder, raised his eyebrows, and proposed: "One day you bring your boyfriend, and I will call mine, and we have a meal?"
"Okay, no problem." Xing Lan waved at him.
"Mu Mu!" When Xing Lan ran out of the practice room, she ran over like a little swallow with her arms outstretched and coquettish.
Pei Musi wrapped his arms around his back, "Let's go, let's go to the mall for dinner."
Xing Lan nodded, led Pei Musi's hand and hummed the new job he learned today, with a happy smile on his face.
During the meal, Pei Musi asked: "What are you talking about today? I see everyone is surrounding you."
"I didn't say anything." Xing Lan's eyes dodged slightly, and she didn't know if Mu Mu would be angry if she told her classmates the love story between Mu Mu and him.
Seeing Xinglan's guilty look, Pei Musi realized something was wrong.He gently picked up the last chicken leg, and murmured: "Your classmates are all good-looking, very handsome."
"Yes." Xing Lan chewed the food, staring at the chicken leg: "They are all handsome, but in my eyes Mu Mu is the most handsome."
The last sentence successfully pleased Pei Musi, he put the chicken legs on Xinglan's plate, "Eat it, if you don't have enough, order more."
Xing Lan ate it contentedly and smiled foolishly.
Pei Musi suddenly felt that Xing Lan boasted that he was handsome for another purpose.
After dinner, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening, Xing Lan insisted on buying popcorn on the side of the road, Pei Musi carried the clothes and shoes bought from the mall, and stood by the tree to wait.
A few figures approached in the distance, but he didn't pay attention.
The blue hair was dressed in a sloppy dress, and cursed with a cigarette: "It's really a narrow road to the enemy. My buddy was threatened by this guy last time, otherwise I wouldn't be so tight this week."
Next to him was a buddy on Lanmao Road, who urged him after hearing this: "We have a lot of people today, why don't we teach him a lesson?"
Knowing Pei Musi's family background, Lan Mao hesitated vaguely: "Forget it, it's my bad luck to meet him."
The gangster next to him said in a disdainful tone: "No way? You're not afraid of him, are you?"
Being on the road depends on face, and when others say this, Lan Mao is of course unwilling.He said rather stiffly: "Who is afraid of him? Come on?"
They exchanged winks and gradually surrounded Pei Musi.
When Pei Musi raised his gaze, he was already surrounded.
Lan Mao looked at him guilty, and coughed: "You ruined my good deed a few days ago, shouldn't you pay it back today?"
A trace of contempt flashed in Pei Musi's eyes, and he casually glanced at the people around him: "How do you want me to pay you back?"
Lan Mao's heart was pounding, but for the sake of face, he hung his neck and said, "Apologize to me."
As soon as the words came out, the people around were shocked.
That's it? ? ?
The other gangsters yelled: "Are you cowardly, Lan Mao? Apologize? Do you think you're playing tricks?"
"Yeah! Get out of here, don't follow us in the future."
Seeing that other people were dissatisfied, Lan Mao cursed: "TMD! Pei Musi, you kneel down and apologize to me today!"
A trace of imperceptible coldness emerged, and Pei Musi closed his shallow pupils, as if he had heard some shocking joke.
"Just because of you? You want me to apologize too?" Pei Musi put the things in his hands on the ground, rolled up his sleeves in a calm manner, "You deserve it too?"
Pei Musi's superior attitude completely angered Lan Mao.
On weekdays at school, he disliked Pei Musi very much, and felt that he was arrogant because of his academic performance and family background, and no one would look down on him.
The contemptuous gaze just now pierced the self-esteem hidden in his heart and made him instantly annoyed.
"Don't you have a father who can make money?" Lan Mao sneered: "Without your father, you can still show off your power in school every day? Who will you show your face with ice cubes every day? Our young master Pei?"
Pei Musi had a calm expression, raised his arms, and leaned against the tree: "Aside from my good family background, I am also good in other aspects. It is better than you, a bastard who often cheats other people's pocket money and humiliates himself in front of his parents."
Every word pierced directly into Lan Mao's heart.
He trembled all over, and said viciously: "Brothers, give me a hard time beating this man today, as long as he lives."
Pei Musi sneered: "Okay, let's settle the score for that night."
The gangster who rushed up first held a bastard with thick arms in his hand, and swung it straight at Pei Musi's head without mercy.
Pei Musi's reaction was quick, and he easily caught it with his arms.
At this moment, Xinglan, who had finished buying popcorn, saw Pei Musi being bullied with a stick, and was furious for a moment: "Let go of him!"
His roar was loud, and the movement in the distance disappeared instantly.
When the gangsters looked around to find the source of the sound, Xing Lan had already rushed over and kicked the leader.
There was a crisp sound of the stick falling to the ground, and the gangster clutched his stomach in severe pain, retching in his stomach.
Xing Lan ran over angrily, put the popcorn on the gangster's head, grabbed his collar and said arrogantly, "You dare to hit him? Don't even ask who he is!"
The gangster's face wrinkled in pain, he clutched his stomach and cursed, "Where does I know who he is?"
Xinglan raised her face: "He is my man!"
