Halfway through the exam, several teachers suddenly came in from the back door and asked everyone to stop writing.

The students in Class 1 were a little confused. Before they could react, they heard Zhang Three Hairs say, “Today, an extremely bad thing happened in our grade, that is, some students stole the test papers! We are here now to catch this student, and completely put an end to this crooked behavior!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole class was in an uproar.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

The students didn’t care that they couldn’t talk to each other during an exam. Someone directly asked the classmates sitting nearby, “No way! Is what Zhang Three Hairs said true?!”

“Who knows?” The classmates were also at a loss: “No one is so bold, right? Besides, is it even necessary for a mere monthly exam?”

“We all know the grades of the students in our class, our grades are clear to everyone. Do they want to suddenly take first place by stealing the exam papers? They should ask Jiang Chen if he agrees or not.”

Hearing the discussion of the people in the front, a boy in the back stretched his head over and said, “Maybe it’s Jiang Chen? He placed 105th in the last exam, maybe this time he is taking risks to restore his past glory?”

“Impossible.”

“Shut up, Jiang Chen can take first place in minutes, is it necessary for him to cheat?”

“If Jiang Chen could steal the test papers, then I will f**king eat the test papers.”

The discussion was lively, and Zhang Three Hairs slapped the table with a stern face: “Quiet!”

“What’s there to clamor about, do you still know that this is exam time!”

The classroom quickly returned to quiet, Zhang Three Hairs’s eyes swept over each student’s face, staring at the seat two rows behind the window for a long time.

Jiang Chen felt it and he raised his eyes to meet Three Hairs’s sullen and smug eyes.

The test seating arrangements were based on the ranking of the previous monthly exam. Shen Xu, who forever placed last in the rankings, sat behind Jiang Chen. He also saw Zhang Three Hairs’s gaze, and his heart sank, his intuition picking up that something was wrong here.

“Brother Jiang! Jiangzi!” He poked Jiang Chen’s back vigorously with his pen.

Jiang Chen didn’t look back, and said in a low voice, “What?”

“Zhang Three Hairs is stirring up trouble isn’t he!” Shen Xu leaned forward, his low voice filled with unease: “His expression seems to show that you are his target, does he want to slander you for stealing the test papers?”

Jiang Chen’s eyes curved slightly. It had to be said that while Shen Xu’s brain was not very smart when it came to academics, his intuition was truly accurate. He could see the essence through the surface almost every time. It was almost an instinct for him to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. This kind of person was definitely not without smarts, but his smarts just weren’t used in his studies.

“F**k!”

Seeing Zhang Three Hairs walking this way, Shen Xu became anxious, and quickly pushed Jiang Chen: “Look to see if there are papers in your desk! If there are papers, hand them to me from below, hurry up!”

“Shen Xu, Jiang Chen! What are you whispering about!” Zhang Three Hairs walked to Jiang Chen’s desk in three steps, and said loudly, “I already said no talking yet you two still continue to whisper among yourselves, what important things can’t be said at other times and must be said at this time!”

Shen Xu gritted his teeth, and just as he was about to talk back, he felt his desk lightly being bumped.

Then, he saw Jiang Chen stand up and say lightly, “Teacher Zhang, we were talking about the matter of stealing the papers, I personally think that you have always been prejudiced against me, and it’s very likely that this matter is something you both directed and acted out to frame me for stealing the papers. So just now I was thinking, when did I leave my seat to give people a chance to take advantage of my absence. It turns out that Shen Xu happened to still be here when I left my seat, and he told me that someone had indeed come to my seat during those two minutes.”

He smiled slightly and said calmly, “So I’m curious, what kind of grudge does that classmate have with me, and what kind of deal he has with you, that it’s worth it for them to risk putting the test papers in my desk drawer to slander me.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole class fell silent, including the several teachers who came over.

Zhang Three Hairs’s face instantly turned blue, black and purple, like a palette, very colorful indeed.

In a corner that no one noticed, a boy’s face turned pale in an instant, and his hand holding the pen trembled.

The classroom was silent for two minutes as everyone digested the information in Jiang Chen’s words.

Zhang Three Hairs’s expression was so ugly that he couldn’t even hide it. The other teachers also walked over, but still no one spoke.

The students here were not clear about this matter, but the several teachers who came here were very clear about the ins and outs of this matter.

From Zhang Jian’s vengeful personality, and his persistence in finding opportunities to slander Jiang Chen, it could be seen that he was indeed someone who could do such a thing.

In the office just now, the words he said, the actions of rummaging around the desk, and even the urgency of catching the students who stole the papers that he displayed, these teachers didn’t feel anything strange at the time. They didn’t think much about it, but after Jiang Chen’s remarks, they recalled what Zhang Jian said and did just now, and everything became clear.

He was indeed directing and acting a script by himself, trying to frame and slander a student.

He was indeed directing and acting a script by himself, trying to frame and slander a student.

The several teachers all figured out the key points, and their expressions when they looked at Zhang Jian became subtly different.

Zhang Three Hairs was unable to speak for a few minutes, the first reason was because he was angry, and the second was because he was trying to figure out a way to counter-attack and slap the dung pot on Jiang Chen.

Just now, when he had performed in the office and then rushed to the classroom with a few teachers, what he wanted was to strike preemptively. When Jiang Chen had yet to react, he would directly dig out the test papers in his desk drawer and put the crime on him.

But who knew that before he even had time to rummage in his desk drawer, Jiang Chen just directly claimed that he was directing and acting a script he wrote himself in order to slander him.

Zhang Jian never imagined that while he wanted to slander the slander, he at least had prepared evidence, but Jiang Chen was so calm and bold, and without knowing anything, actually managed to turn the tables against him.

With those words, the one who struck preemptively became Jiang Chen. If Zhang Jian dug out the test papers from his desk, others would think that he was framing Jiang Chen. If nothing was found, others would still think that he was framing him. Just these few words practically blocked Zhang Jian’s attack and retreat route, leaving him in a dilemma.

Zhang Jian’s back molars grinded so hard they began to hurt, and he found that the best way for him to go now was to not dig in Jiang Chen’s drawer, just brush this matter to the side lightly, and focus on Jiang Chen’s confrontation with a teacher in public.

But how could he be willing to give up!

Since the first semester of high school, how many times Jiang Chen had disrespected him openly and secretly, how many times had he been misunderstood as a result of Jiang Chrn’s two-face behavior, and how many times had he been angered by his actions of agreeing overtly, but opposing in secret?

Now he finally had a chance to teach him a lesson and allow himself to vent out this suffocating anger, how could he be willing to give up!

Zhang Jian’s face switched from pale to green and then back again, unable to come up with a countermeasure at the moment.

However, Shen Xu already reacted from Jiang Chen’s words. Jiang Chen didn’t ask him if someone came to his seat just now, but someone did come to Jiang Chen’s seat before the exam, and he did see it!

He turned his head abruptly, staring closely at the third-to-last boy in the third row, with a baby face that was at the moment so dark that it could drip ink.

At this time, almost everyone in the classroom was staring at their area. Although most people were looking at Zhang Jian and Jiang Chen, Shen Xu sat right behind Jiang Chen. And thinking of what Jiang Chen had just said, when Shen Xu’s face changed and looked in a certain direction, almost at the same time, the others followed his line of sight.

There was more than one student in that area, but most of them were looking around, wondering who Shen Xu was looking at. There was only one boy with his head down, his hands on the table shaking uncontrollably, forehead covered with cold sweat.

Seeing this, who didn’t understand this situation immediately.

An outraged classmate asked directly, “No way! Zhang Zhipeng! Did you put the papers in Jiang Chen’s desk drawer?”

No one had searched Jiang Chen’s desk drawer yet, but everyone had already concluded that there were exam papers in his drawer. However, almost no one present believed that Jiang Chen stole the papers.

Not to mention the fact that Jiang Chen being firmly at the top of the grade had already been deeply ingrained in the hearts of everyone. More importantly, everyone had been together for more than half a year, and they all knew what kind of person Jiang Chen was.

He excelled in his studies but did not have the arrogance of most high achieving students. Anyone who asked him a question could receive a patient answer from him; he didn’t talk much but never ignored anyone. As long as someone talked to him, he would definitely answer politely, and if it was a topic he was interested in, he would even chat with you excitedly for a long time; he liked the quiet, but he could also get along with the noisy boys in the class, whether it was playing basketball or eating out, everyone loved to call him…..

He always maintained a bottom line and upheld his principles. No matter how good his temper was normally, as long as someone stepped on his bottom line, he would calmly point it out and everyone would still be friends after that. And instead of holding grudges because of this, they would actually remember his taboos in their heart and won’t do it again.

In this class, if you ask who was the most popular, very few people would say Jiang Chen, but if you ask who was the first person you thought of when you encounter a problem, and who you trust the most, more than 90% of the answers were Jiang Chen.

Just ask yourself, towards a boy who was very excellent himself, had a good attitude in life, was decent but not pedantic, had principles and bottom lines, who would believe that he would steal test papers and cheat?

What was more, the person who slandered him was pfull of loopholes, and moreover, Zhang Three Hairs also usually had a bad reputation.

Zhang Three Hairs didn’t like Jiang Chen, the students in the class knew that, but why did Zhang Zhipeng help to frame Jiang Chen?

Some of them recalled that Zhang Zhipeng was in the same class as Jiang Chen in the first year of high school. At that time, he was thin and small, and he was always bullied by people from other schools after school. It was Jiang Chen who asked Huo Bo, who was in class eleven, to help him out. If it was really him, wasn’t this ungratefulness?

Everyone’s eyes were filled with amazement and puzzlement. Zhang Zhipeng had lowered his head and couldn’t see it, but he felt that the eyes that fell on him were full of ridicule.

His hands shook and he lowered his head even further, not daring to look up to see other people’s expressions.

Jiang Chen glanced at him, looked away, and said to Zhang Jian, “Teacher Zhang, if you want to search my desk, do it now.”

Zhang Jian gritted his teeth, squeezed a smile on his face, and said, “I just suddenly remembered that I seem to have put the papers in the year one office, so there’s no need to search.”

When the classmates heard Zhang Jian say this, they were a little dubious, but the teachers didn’t believe a single word. Zhang Jian didn’t teach any high school first years classes, so why would he take the papers to the first year office, but they didn’t say anything.

Jiang Chen’s expression was calm as if he didn’t seem to care all that much, but when thinking about what he had said before, how he had ridiculed Zhang Jian inside and out, most everyone thought he would grab onto this matter and dig down deep.

But he just sat down and said, “In that case, can we continue the exam?”

Zhang Jian, just like other teachers, also thought that Jiang Chen would not give up so easily, but when he saw him put the matter down so gently, a hint of disbelief flashed across his face.

But he quickly reacted and said immediately: “You guys continue with the test, answer the questions quietly, don’t talk to each other.”

After he finished speaking, he left the classroom first, for fear that if he was even a moment slower, Jiang Chen would stop him and ask him to explain things clearly.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

AN: At this time, the Jiang Chen in the hearts of the classmates is actually the young Jiang Xiao Chen in the first life who had not experienced much.

Jiang Chen, who had lived through two lives already, is a little different from what his classmates in the first life think. He still sticks to his original intention and still has his own bottom line and principles, but the way he behaves in society and the way he solves problems is not the same anymore.

For example, towards the boy who was bullied in the stairwell, if it was the Jiang Chen in the first life, he would immediately step forward to stop it, but the current Jiang Chen just calmly gave a few suggestions:

    1. Make yourself stronger

    2. Tell the teachers and parents

    3. Warn him not to do things he would regret

It can’t be said which method is right, it can only be said that Jiang Xiao Chen was a naive and earnest boy, while Jiang Chen considers things more comprehensively.

In the next half month, Jiang Chen went to the hospital twice, and the answer he got was still that there was no Shi Fengyue. Even so, he was not in a hurry. Every day his schedule was packed very tight, except for weekend mornings when he asked the hospital and took a walk in the park with his parents, he spent the rest of his time studying and familiarizing himself with the current textbooks.

Time would never fail those who work hard.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

On the eve of the monthly exam, Jiang Chen had already familiarized himself with the science textbooks from the first year to the second year of high school, and completely distinguished the currently used formulas from the formulas used in the interstellar period.

April 2nd, the monthly exam on the first Monday.

Today, Yang Si was going to take Jiang Zhuo to the hospital for a re-examination. She called Jiang Zhuo’s good buddy early in the morning to help out. Knowing that Jiang Chen was to take the monthly exam today, Yang Si did not wake him up, but left a note and twenty yuan on the table, telling him to eat breakfast outside.

When Jiang Chen got up, there was no one at home. After seeing the money on the table, he sighed helplessly, his heart feeling warm and soft.

It would always be the case, no matter how difficult the family was, Yang Si had never pinch a penny for him, as long as it was for his needs she always spent very generously. For example, at this time, the average person could eat breakfast for five or six yuan at most, and at least one or two yuan one could eat fully, but Yang Si gave twenty yuan, which was almost enough for Jiang Chen to eat for a week.

He took the money and went out. It was still early so he walked to the school and prepared to eat at the breakfast shop along the street.

There were many breakfast shops at the entrance of the community. Jiang Chen did not stop there, but turned the street corner in front of the school, bypassed the periphery of the rare high-rise apartment in this era, and stopped in front of a biscuits shop.

The business of this biscuits shop was very good. There were old people, students and young people queuing up. The bustling and noisy market was full of vitality.

Jiang Chen walked to the end of the line, roughly calculated the number of people and the speed of the shop owner, and after confirming that he would not be late, he began reciting the classical Chinese in his heart.

After returning to the first life, Chinese and English became Jiang Chen’s weak points. After two lives, Chinese texts and poems have long been blurred. Fortunately, his memory was good, and he could re-memorize it after reading it a few times. Only classical Chinese did he need to spend some time on, but English was more difficult. Just counting the time, he had not touched this thing for nearly 30 years, he did not need to use it after graduation in the first life, the interstellar era had optical receptors, and automatically converted languages ​​of various ethnic groups so understanding languages did not require much study at all.

At this time, Jiang Chen was extremely grateful for his super memory as a result of being reborn three consecutive lives.

Just when he finished consolidating the classical Chinese and was about to recite the vocabulary silently, Jiang Chen felt a person come up behind him, but he didn’t care, and continued to memorize his vocabulary.

The line gradually became shorter, and soon there were only two people in front of Jiang Chen. He leaned down to see the flavor of the biscuits in the frame, and when he was about to straighten up, he found that his heel seemed to have accidentally stepped on the person behind him.

He immediately turned his head and apologized: “I’m sorry.”

After not hearing the response, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but raise his head to look. The man who came into view had dark eyebrows and snow-white skin, and the expression on his face was seven-point impatience and three-point annoyance. He was pinching the bridge of his nose and looking at him from top to bottom.

“Sorry.” Jiang Chen apologized again: “I accidentally stepped on you.”

The man put down his hand, turned his head slightly, his black hair lay on his forehead, and his entire face that was not covered by his hands was finally exposed to the sun.

“Apologize?” The man’s voice was low and flat, with a metallic magnetism, carelessly sexy.

Jiang Chen smiled politely: “Sorry for stepping on you.”

The man didn’t speak, just looked at him with his arms folded over his chest.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds. The two people ahead had already finished buying. Jiang Chen nodded to the man, took a step forward, and quickly bought the biscuits he wanted to buy.

Just as he was about to leave, he felt his schoolbag being pulled from behind.

Just as he was about to leave, he felt his schoolbag being pulled from behind.

The man stared at the biscuits frame, and reported unhurriedly, “One sesame cake, two sugar biscuits, two rolls, and a cup of sweet soy milk.”

Jiang Chen turned his head and saw the man accept a bag of biscuits and a cup of sweet soy milk handed over by the proprietress, and took the soy milk and drank it slowly, squinting his eyes slightly, like a satisfied cat.

Noticing Jiang Chen’s gaze, the man nodded his chin and motioned Jiang Chen to look down. He raised his left foot and shook it, and there was a gray shoe print on the brand-new sneaker.

Jiang Chen looked back and asked the proprietress of the biscuits shop, “Auntie, how much is his total.”

“Six yuan.”

Jiang Chen gave the money, and the man let go.

“Sorry for stepping on your shoe and getting it dirty.” Jiang Chen said: “If you can’t wash it clean, you can come to No. 1 High School and find me in year 2 class 1. My name is Jiang Chen, and I will bear the compensation for the shoes.”

Jiang Chen didn’t have much knowledge of shoes, but these shoes happened to be shown to him by Shen Xu before, and the price was more than 2,000 yuan in the magazine.

The man was drinking soy milk, and when he heard the words, he raised the biscuits in his hand and said, “You have already compensated.”

Jiang Chen nodded and said, “Thank you, then I’ll go to school, goodbye.”

The man nodded lazily, turned around and entered the neighborhood on the side.

Yan City No. 1 High School, there were still 20 minutes before the exam, because it was a monthly exam for the whole school, morning self-study and inter-class exercises have been canceled.

At this time, the classroom was very quiet, most of the students were doing practice questions, and some people were reviewing and consolidating their knowledge. When Jiang Chen passed Shen Xu’s seat, he was scratching his head and doing last minute cramming. He didn’t even have the time to greet Jiang Chen when he walked over.

Twenty minutes later, the start of the test bell rang, and the entire building fell silent.

Jiang Chen focused his attention, glanced at the paper quickly, picked up the pen and almost without thinking he started to answer the questions.

After several exams, the proctor passed by and stood beside him for a few seconds, a pleased expression on his face.

Here, exams were taking place quality, but the teachers’ office in the afternoon was a bit lively.

The teachers in the second year group who do not need to proctor all gathered in the office on the fourth floor. Some people were discussing the difficulty of this monthly test, and some people were guessing who would be in the top ten of this test.

“This time, the first place in the liberal arts is Chen Zhixin, no doubt. What is hard to guess is the sciences.”

“Yang Yifan, she has always been stable. She is only nine points behind Jiang Chen in the final exam last semester, which was a great improvement from before, and she was also the first in the monthly exam at the beginning of this semester.”

“Yang Yifan is indeed possible.”

“It could also be Tang Qixun. Tang Qixun only missed Yang Yifan by three points in the monthly exam, and this time, the science questions are too advanced. Yang Yifan is really steady, but every time she encounters a complex question, she easily loses points.”

“I still think it’s Yang Yifan. Yang Yifan is hardworking. She could ponder over a wrong question a hundred times. Your exam questions this time may not be able to stump her.”

The teachers in the science group had a heated discussion, and a different voice sounded: “I think it’s Jiang Chen.”

Some people agreed: “Jiang Chen is indeed possible. Recently, his study condition has improved a lot, and it is completely different from when the school started.”

“I don’t think it’s Jiang Chen.” A teacher shook his head: “It’s not that I doubt his ability, the whole No. 1 High School knows that he has good grades, but what happened in his family recently, ai…..it’s hard for one to adjust even for an adult not to mention he is a child.”

After the teacher finished speaking, the office was silent for a few seconds.

The young male teacher felt that the atmosphere was not very good, so he turned to look at Zhang Jian who was organizing the table, and asked with a smile, “Teacher Zhang, Jiang Chen is your student, how do you think he has been doing recently? Is it possible for him to return to the previous level?”

Zhang Jian didn’t lift his head, he kept rummaging on the desktop, and said while rummaging: “I don’t think his condition is all that good. I saw him spacing off several times, and sometimes he was even reading content unrelated to the class. He is already in the second year, I really don’t know what he is thinking, I said a few words to him as the classroom teacher before, and he actually complained about me in front of the principal. Towards this student, I don’t dare to control or guess.”

Hearing Zhang Jian say this, the other teachers looked at each other with a hint of embarrassment.

On the 10th of this month, Zhang Jian was called to the principal’s office. All the teachers here knew. Not only that, the principal criticized Zhang Jian at the mid-month meeting, saying that he did not pay attention to the mental health of the students, and warned him that when educating students to not act with private interests in mind.

This was the most severe thing the principal had ever said, and it was even announced in public. Everyone here knew that behind Zhang Jian was Vice-Principal Sun. No one had ever dared to offend him and dare to speak harshly to him before. No one expected that the principal would directly tear up his face and dignity for this.

Therefore, when Zhang Jian said in the office several times that Jiang Chen refused to obey the rules and violations and that his outside appearance and inner reality differ, the other teachers pretended to not have heard.

It was just that they didn’t expect that despite more than half a month having passed, he still hadn’t put the matter down.

All the teachers here have their own ideas, but they all have a deeper understanding of Zhang Jian’s vengeful streak, and know that this was not the right time to continue this topic.

A teacher changed the subject awkwardly: “Teacher Zhang, you have been looking for something on the table just now, what are you looking for?”

Zhang Jian stopped, frowned and said, “The monthly exam papers I put in the drawer are gone, and I don’t know where they went.”

“Ai, if it’s gone, it’s gone.” The teacher smiled, trying to ease the atmosphere: “It’s just a few exam papers, they are not mid-term or final exam papers, so it’s nothing major if they’re gone.”

“That won’t do.” Zhang Jian raised his head and spoke meaningfully, “If some students steal the papers here in order to get good grades on the test, isn’t it unfair to other students? “

The teacher’s smile froze, touched his nose, and nodded sheepishly: “This is also true.”

Zhang Jian turned his chair, faced these teachers, glanced at them one by one, and said, “This matter must not be passed easily, I want to see just who is so daring to steal test papers from my office desk!”

The other teachers were stunned and exchanged glances, waiting for his next words.

Sure enough, Zhang Jian continued: “These students are already out of control, and they won’t be able to remember their lessons if we don’t catch an example. The one who stole the papers will definitely not be able to transfer the papers in time. We will go to the classroom to search now, as it will be too late when school is over. “

“That’s not good, the students are taking exams…..”

“Is fueling a trend of cheating more serious or interrupting an exam more serious?” Zhang Jian said with a dark face: “If this trend of cheating is fueled then in the future, students will not go to class or tutoring, and will run to the office to steal the test papers. Whoever steals it will be number one, then how will our school continue to remain open, and how will us teachers still teach students?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“This…..” The young male teacher at the beginning said, “It can’t be that serious.”

“You just became a teacher, you don’t have experience, you don’t know the seriousness of this matter.” Zhang Jian stood up and said without accepting any more refutation: “It just happens that the current exam is about to end, we will go search now and find the stolen papers! I will lead by example, and start with our class!”

In the early spring, the city of Yan was mostly gray. Sunday morning was a rare sunny day.

Jiang Chen ate breakfast with his parents, went back to his room and prepared before heading out.

Yang Si didn’t have work today. After yesterday’s events, she realized that the harmony and happiness of the family was the most important thing. Just as Jiang Chen was going out, she also decided to head out with Jiang Zhuo to the park to bask in the sun, so that this gloom-shrouded family could have a bit more sunshine.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Jiang Zhuo had no objection. Since the accident, he had yet to go out. At first, he was not in the mood to go out. Later, it was because he did not want to trouble his wife and son. But at this time, both his wife and son were very happy, so naturally he would not be opposed to it.

In Yan City in 2004, most buildings did not have elevators. And the Jiang family’s home was on the fifth floor, so it was not easy to go out.

Jiang Chen carried his father on his back, Yang Si carried the wheelchair, and the family of three went downstairs carefully step by step.

The laughter of the children outside and the movement from time to time in the neighbors’ apartments made the stairway journey short. Although no one spoke, the silence was not stuffy.

When he reached the first floor, Jiang Zhuo, who was on Jiang Chen’s back, suddenly sighed and said, “Chen Chen has grown up.”

His words seemed to open the family’s chatterbox.

Yang Si smiled and said: “Isn’t it so? It seems that all of a sudden, from such a small child, he has grown into this towering appearance.”

Jiang Zhuo’s smile returned to his usual cheerfulness: “Yes, like me, as expected of my son.”

“That’s hard to say for sure.” Yang Si disagreed very much: “Chen Chen is so well-behaved and sensible because he is like me. You were clumsy and impatient when you were young, how could you compare to our son’s calm and steady demeanor.”

“Yes, this part is like you.” Jiang Zhuo didn’t argue with his wife, he smiled and said, “But his smarts take after me, good at academics since childhood.”

“How come his smarts take after you?” Yang Si disagreed even more: “Can you compare your grades to your son’s when you were in school? Your son is smart because he is serious, plus my genes!”

Jiang Zhuo was a little aggrieved: “Then what part of our son is like me?”

Yang Si also felt as if she couldn’t justify it if everything about their son resembled her, so she responded to her husband with a vague perfunctory answer: “Isn’t he good at playing basketball like you?”

Jiang Chen listened to his parents’ nostalgic bickering, and the smile in his eyes spread little by little. The family of three walked out of the corridor, and the bright sunshine dispelled the last trace of gloom.

After sending his parents to the park, Jiang Chen took the bus at the nearby bus stop.

At eight o’clock in the morning, the city of Yan already had a trace of the crowdedness in the later years, but it did not have the fast rhythm that seemed as if one would be left behind if one’s step was slow.

The bus drove slowly, its passengers included the old men carrying bird cages, the students in school uniforms, and the young people who were always on the phone. There were people chatting and laughing, others quiet and napping. All of this gave off a harmonious and retro feeling.

For Jiang Chen, this scene was indeed retro.

Although he also came from this time, in his memory of the first life, more of it involved high-rise buildings and rushing crowds. And in the second life this scene was replaced with flying vehicles, and one actually needed special approval documents to drive on the ground.

He looked at everything in front of him with curiosity and freshness, and the corners of his mouth quirked upwards in a relaxed smile that he didn’t even notice himself, but in the eyes of others, he also made a pleasing morning scene.

The handsome and fair-skinned boy stood quietly with one hand grabbing the railing ring and by the back door next to the window, and just his appearance while looking out the window showed off a bright and casual aura that was enough to attract attention from others.

Jiang Chen was unaware of his surroundings. When he heard the station announcement, he just followed the crowd and got off of the bus.

The Yan City No. 3 Hospital was not well-known in Yan City at this time. When medical resources became scarce in later years, only then did its spine surgery and vascular surgery departments become well known. And the biggest reason why its spine surgery department could be known to everyone was because of Shi Fengyue.

Shi Fengyue was a man who was difficult to judge based on the moral standards of the world.

Shi Fengyue was a man who was difficult to judge based on the moral standards of the world. There was no doubt about his profound medical skills and outstanding talent in this area, but as a doctor, he did not have the sense of responsibility to save lives and heal the wounded that doctors pledged to do. He only regarded healing and saving people as a challenge and interest.

He didn’t pick up cases that couldn’t arouse his interest, didn’t pick up cases that weren’t challenging, or didn’t pick up cases when he was in a bad mood. This kind of unrestrained temperament caused most people to criticize and resist him for a period of time, and some people even went to the hospital to pull up banners demanding that scum like him should get out of the medical world.

But these didn’t affect him in the slightest, he still went his own way, and those who wanted to ask him to do their surgery were still lining up one after another.

No kidding, for those surgeries that other doctors couldn’t perform, only Professor Shi could save their lives. It was not like they would be willing to go die for the public opinion of the outside world, right?

After a period of controversial public opinion, the public saw that it was useless to affect him, and gradually dispersed, and went back to living their own daily lives. But Shi Fengyue became famous as a result, and then there were rumors that Professor Shi was extremely young and good-looking. This made the public very curious about this very talented but willful genius, and because of this, a wave of brain-dead fans were born, specially loitering around the hospital to see if he was indeed really that good-looking.

As a result, during that time, Yan City No. 3 Hospital recruited more than a dozen security guards, and had to stipulate that people were not allowed to stay in the outpatient department of the hospital without registering to see a doctor. Only then did it stop this absurd star-chasing phenomenon.

Shi Fengyue, on the other hand, remained unaffected. He resigned after staying at the Yan City No. 3 Hospital for less than three years. According to rumors, this was because he felt tired of doing surgical operations and went to look for other interesting things to do. Whether this rumor was true or not, no one knows. As for what he did after resigning, Jiang Chen no longer paid attention or know.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen stopped in front of the outpatient building and sighed inwardly before walking in. It was not the most difficult thing to find Shi Fengyue, what was the most difficult thing was o get him to agree to perform an operation on Jiang Zhuo.

In the inquiry hall on the first floor, the nurses at the service desk were very enthusiastic. When they learned the name of the doctor he was looking for, they quickly searched for him in the system. However, as Jiang Chen expected, there was no such person in the doctor listing yet.

Jiang Chen was not disappointed either. This was something he had long expected, because what he remembered was a vague period of time, not a specific point in time. At this time, it was not necessarily a bad thing for him that Shi Fengyue had not yet come to the hospital. Because for Shi Fengyue, the operations he was willing to take on were more difficult as time passed, and there were fewer operations that could inspire his interest. So during his early days at the hospital, the possibility of getting him to agree to accept his father’s operation was higher.

On the way home, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered that his parents might still be in the park at this time, so he got off the bus two stops earlier. But what he didn’t expect was to meet Shen Xu when he walked out of the bus stop.

Shen Xu was also surprised to see Jiang Chen, and immediately jumped up and beckoned: “Jiangzi!”

“Why are you here?” Jiang Chen glanced at the school gate behind him, a little curious. Shen Xu was not a good student who returned to school for self-study or to do homework during the holidays.

“I didn’t bring my homework when I went back yesterday. Who knew my parents came back. Normally we barely see each other a few times throughout the year but when they came back, they immediately asked me if I had done my homework, putting on a caring expression. If they really care about my studies, would they not even be able to find time to attend parents’ meetings?” Shen Xu pouted and complained, and said unwillingly, “They saw that I don’t have homework, and I could only give in, and so I came back to school to get the homework.”

Jiang Chen glanced at him and said lightly: “Of course Uncle and Aunt Shen care about you. What will you eat if they don’t make money?”

Shen Xu knew that Jiang Chen would say this. From childhood to adulthood, whenever he complained about his parents, Jiang Chen would seriously tell him that his parents did things for his own good, he was used to it, and he did not take it to heart at all.

“What are you doing here?” Shen Xu changed the subject: “Isn’t it two stops before you reach your community?”

Jiang Chen’s residential area was two stations away from the school, less than 20 minutes’ walk. The park area was not small and spanned three stations. Near his residential area was the south entrance, the middle station was the east entrance and the library, and the north entrance was near the school, which was why he got off the bus two stops earlier to look for Jiang Zhuo and Yang Si from one end to the other, which would not make it easy to miss the two.

Jiang Chen explained briefly, and Shen Xu was very happy to hear that, and said, “Uncle Jiang should go out more to get some sunshine, helps with improving the mood.”

“Let’s go, I’ll accompany you to get your homework.” Jiang Chen nodded and said, “We’ll go look afterwards.”

Shen Xu immediately had a bitter face: “Aw, no.” He wanted to go to the dormitory to find the boarding classmates to copy homework from.

How could Jiang Chen not know Shen Xu’s plan, and glanced at him lightly: “You going or not?”

“Going…..”

The school on Sundays was empty and quiet. Except for the occasional sound of third year classes being made up on the fifth and sixth floors, there were basically no people on the other floors.

Jiang Chen and Shen Xu took the keys from the grandpa in the reception room, and soon entered the classroom to pick up Shen Xu’s homework.

When going downstairs, Shen Xu drooped his head, and his whole person was without energy.

As soon as they reached the stairs on the second floor, the two found that there was someone in the stairwell, several boys standing there seeming to be laughing and chatting about something.

Jiang Chen and Shen Xu looked at each other, and before they could see the situation clearly, they heard the muffled sound of fists hitting the flesh from the inside of the enclosure, and then someone laughed and said, “So what if I hit you?”

Shen Xu’s eyes widened, and he instantly forgot his sadness about having to do his homework. He stretched his head and said, “Damn, actually daring to beat someone in the stairwell, so arrogant!”

The school building of No. 1 High School had a total of six floors and was in a “concave” shape. It sat in the north and faced the south. There were classrooms on the east and west sides, three classes on each side. Each grade occupied two floors. Year two occupied the third and fourth floors, while year one occupied the first and second floors.

However, at this time, both the first and second high school years had the day off, and the third high school years was making up classes upstairs.

Shen Xu had always had a wide range of social circles, and after just one glance, he had an impression of one guy’s profile face, and said to Jiang Chen, “They should all be high school first years.”

Jiang Chen was thoughtful, he vaguely felt that the voice of the person who just spoke was a little familiar, but he searched for this person’s information in his memory and found nothing.

Seeing that Jiang Chen didn’t speak, Shen Xu also frowned. It was not that he didn’t want to take care of this matter, but the situation was special now.

Although it was the weekend now, the teaching office didn’t have the day off. If it was a normal day, then he could forget it. It was not uncommon for him to meddle when seeing little brats bullying others, but at this time, Jiang Chen was being watched by Zhang Three Hairs with all his strength to get him in trouble, as long as Jiang Chen was involved, even if he was just standing with them, if Zhang Three Hairs knew then he would absolutely reverse the truth, and it would not be surprising that he would directly say that Jiang Chen was bullying junior students.

The two of them just stood at the entrance of the stairs, and the group of people in the stairwell naturally saw them.

One of them whispered to the tallest boy beside him: “Brother Sun, the two upstairs seem to be second or third years, what should we do?”

The boy known as Brother Sun looked up, and when he saw Jiang Chen and Shen Xu clearly, his eyebrows furrowed a little bit. At the same time as he looked up, Jiang Chen also saw him clearly, including those triangle eyes and narrow forehead. It was not a face that was easy to mess with, clearly he had no impression, but there was still a sense of familiarity.

When the two sides looked at each other, the boy who was just being surrounded and beaten coughed, and suddenly a scream sounded.

Jiang Chen and those people looked his way at the same time, only to see a fat boy in the innermost ring frantically shaking his arm, a thin small boy hanging from his arm. The boy’s head was smashed against the wall several times, but he still didn’t let go.

“F**k!” When his own people were bitten, the triangle eyed boy felt thatbhe had lost face and immediately kicked the boy, “Let go!”

Shen Xu cursed, jumped up and rushed down.

He didn’t intend to meddle in what was not his own business. Apart from worrying about Jiang Chen, he also didn’t see the condition of the child inside. He thought that through such a thick cotton jacket, he wouldn’t be able to suffer much damage in a fight. In comparison, Jiang Chen was more important, but at this time, when he saw the boy’s head being hit against the wall like this, he couldn’t help it any longer.

He ran downstairs in three steps at a time, pushed the tallest boy away, and said angrily, “You f**king want to kill people!”

Sun Zhi was pushed, and was just about to get angry, but after seeing Jiang Chen who was slowly going down the stairs, he squeezed his fist and for some reason held his anger back.

“Are you all right?” Shen Xu pulled the boy up, and after seeing the wound on his head and the bruise on his face, he turned his face coldly and said, “Are you guys from the first year? So arrogant?”

“Oh? So what if we’re arrogant, what can you do about it?”

Sun Zhi raised his chin. He was already tall, already more than 1.8 meters. Standing in front of Shen Xu, who had not reached 1.7 meters, he was full of intimidation. With him in the front, the other first year high school students also stood up straight, looking very aggressive.

Jiang Chen stood in front of Shen Xu. He stood tall and straight, with wide shoulders and long legs. Although his actual height was two or three centimeters shorter than Sun Zhi, there was not much difference to he naked eye. He said mildly, “Huang Zhiqiang was patrolling the fourth floor two minutes ago. It is expected he’ll come down soon, if you don’t leave at this time, you won’t be able to leave then.”

Huang Zhiqiang, the director of the discipline department of No. 1 High School, was nicknamed Mad Dog Huang. He liked to catch students who fight or have puppy love. His catchphrase was “I see you!” and those who were caught by him were unable to get away with less than a 3000 word essay that was also to be heavily reviewed. Its strictness comparable to that of a college graduation thesis, and made a very frightening existence.

Sun Zhi was stunned for a moment, and his followers were also afraid, looking at each other in dismay and wanting to leave immediately. Being scolded was a trivial matter, even if hey receive a demerit, they were also willing to accept it, but none of this was as torturous as 3000 words of self-criticism!

Jiang Chen was calm and steady, his eyes slid over everyone calmly, and when they landed on Sun Zhi, its gaze was a little deep.

Sun Zhi subconsciously wanted to take a half step back. He gritted his teeth, turned his head and said “you just wait” to the boy in the corner, and immediately ran away with the other students.

The corridor instantly became empty.

Shen Xu checked the boy’s injury and asked worriedly, “Do you want to go to the infirmary?”

The boy kept his head down, and didn’t raise his head even when asked by Shen Xu, and said dully, “Don’t worry about it.”

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows, pulled Shen Xu away, and said indifferently, “This kind of thing will happen more after happening once, you can either find your parents and teachers to solve it, or you can become stronger yourself, so that people can’t bully you, and if you can’t do anything, then study well. If your grades are good, your class teacher will naturally protect you. For that kind of person, it’s not a good choice to endure or go to extremes.”

The boy raised his head abruptly and flushed when he saw Jiang Chen’s cold expression.

After a few seconds, he said, “It’s none of your business!”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

After speaking, he pushed Shen Xu away and went down the stairs by himself.

Shen Xu rubbed the pushed arm, and said with a tut: “This little brat is quite fierce, why didn’t I see any of that when that group of people beat him just now, damn, so it’s my fault for helping him. “

Jiang Chen thought of the utility knife that the boy had securely hidden in his sleeve and his eyes flashed, but he did not say anything.
