Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Jiang Chen, don't be afraid

Jiang Chen said: "Well, I will be in the second class from now on."

The boy's eyes flickered, he didn't say the reason for missing the exam, he just told Ye Mian the result.

Ye Mian bit her lower lip.

I feel tugging in my heart.

Want to ask something more.

Jiang Chen had already passed her and walked into the classroom of Class [-].

As always, Jiang Chen at school was very cold, almost avoiding the space to talk to her.

For the next few days, Ye Mian couldn't see Jiang Chen again.

In a blink of an eye, it’s time for school to end on Friday.

Ye Mian was sitting in the small courtyard of her home, and there was a thin drizzle of rain in the sky.

Aunt Zhang, an old neighbor, passed by with a bag of green dates.

She knocked on Ye Mian's half-covered door, "Is Ye Mian at home?"

Ye Mian raised her eyes and replied with a smile, "Yes, Aunt Zhang."

Auntie Zhang nodded with a smile, and opened the cotton cloth in the basket, "Auntie will bring you some green dates to eat."

The green jujubes are planted in the yard of Aunt Zhang’s house. A thick old jujube tree occupies most of the space in the yard. Every autumn, it will bear a tree full of jujubes.

After the dates are ripe, Aunt Zhang will pick the dates and wash them one by one, and distribute them to nearby neighbors.

Ye Mian also grew up eating these dates.

Later, after graduating from college and changing houses, the jujube tree was cut down by developers. Ye Mian had never tasted sweeter jujubes.

Ye Mian took the basket from Aunt Zhang's hand, feeling a heavy weight in her hands.

"Thank you, Aunt Zhang."

She smiled and thanked her, poured the dates into her big bowl, and returned the basket to Aunt Zhang.

Auntie Zhang's smile deepened, and kindness flashed in her eyes. This pretty little girl is polite, well-behaved and sensible, who wouldn't like it.

Seeing that Ye Mian was alone at home, Aunt Zhang invited her to her yard.

On an autumn afternoon, the air in the rain is filled with the fresh aroma of jujubes, and there are dense jujubes hanging on the top of the tall jujube trees.

The dates at the bottom were almost picked by Aunt Zhang.

She sat on the porch picking bad fruits that had been pecked by birds.

She knew that Ye Mian was well-behaved, so she specially took out the sweet-scented osmanthus cake for Ye Mian to eat and refused to let her help.

Ye Mian bit the sweet pastry, raised her eyes and looked outside the courtyard wall.

Uncle Hu came back in a hurry.

Uncle Hu shook his head, "Oh, the Jiang family is in chaos again. This is too abusive to the children. What is this?"

Aunt Zhang answered, "What's the matter?"

Uncle Hu picked up a date scattered on the ground, put it on his trouser leg and wiped it, "Lao Jiang came back a few days ago and brought a bunch of creditors with him. He took out the money from Xiao Jiang and didn't pay back. He ran away again and lost it. If a bunch of creditors give it to a child, it’s Xiao Jiang’s own tuition savings.”

Ye Mian was stunned.

Aunt Zhang also took her hand out of the jujube and asked quickly: "Where is it? How about now."

Uncle Hu pointed to the west side, and replied: "Over the west alley, there is a group of vicious people blocking the gate of the courtyard and no one is allowed to enter."

Ye Mian couldn't help but look to the west, put down the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand, stood up and said, "Uncle and aunt, I'm going back first."

After saying that, he trotted away.

Jiang Chen stood outside the door with the coolness of the light rain in the autumn wind, looking at the creditors left behind by the man, eight tall and strong men, all with ugly expressions.

A middle-aged man banged on the door and cursed: "Where has your father gone? We won't make it difficult for you and call your father out. It has taken several days."

Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't care, he kicked the door angrily, "Damn it."

Jiang Chen looked at him quietly with dark eyes, his former clear eyebrows became sharper, his face was gloomy and cold, as he swept across these big men, everyone's bodies trembled.

In a society ruled by law, one does not dare to act easily, and one is unwilling to suffer from being dumb.

The few big men could only continue to press and curse.

……

Ye Mian's steps were quick.

When she thought of Jiang Chen being bullied, she felt uncomfortable all over, and her expression was never serious.

go faster.

Walk a little faster.

You can see Jiang Chen soon.

By the end, I was almost running.

With such a heavy and anxious mood.

After running to the corner of the West Alley, Ye Mian stopped.

She was a little hot, panting a little, breathing slowly and steadily in the cool wind, half of her face was flushed.

Finally, I met Jiang Chen at the place where Jiang Chen lived.

Compared to the last time we met at school.

He seems to have lost some weight.

The black sweater was wrapped in a coat, his hair was longer, his eyes were lightly covered, and his expression was even colder.

A group of neighbors stood around, discussing something.

It was the same as the last time when the fire broke out, but this time, no one dared to go up to help.

Ye Mian pushed away from the crowd, and every time she took a step, her heart beat violently and wanted to jump out of her throat.

She reminded herself to calm down.

However, the fat man had already raised his hand to grab Jiang Chen's collar.

Ye Mian was so angry that she didn't care about being calm. She quickly ran over and pulled Jiang Chen away, then turned around suddenly.

Her eyes were a little red, not sure if it was cold or angry.

Facing this group of people, he remained silent. He picked up his mobile phone and dialed 110 to call the police. "Hello, police station? I want to call the police. We have a group of gang-related groups here who want to extort money from people."

She spoke eloquently and gave her address and name without giving them any time to react.

Eight strong men:?
The leading middle-aged man looked at the girl in front of him in amazement, and said bluntly: "You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. It's only natural for us to collect debts. If you little girl is making trouble, go away and don't care about your business. You call the police."

Ye Mian ignored him and just stood in front of Jiang Chen, never taking a step back.

Even between phone calls, there was still time to comfort the young man softly: "Jiang Chen, don't be afraid."

"..."

It's too bad.

This is simply cold violence.

The middle-aged man was going crazy when he saw two people ignoring him.

Are all young people today virtuous?You didn't even say a word of disagreement and you just called the police?
So what to do, we can't really let the police come.

But if he were to leave now, he would not be reconciled.

The middle-aged man frowned, trying to grab the girl's phone.

Before that hand reached out, a cold white hand pinched the fingers, and then slammed it upwards.

The middle-aged man took in a painful breath and suddenly became furious, "You don't know how to appreciate someone, don't you?"

Ye Mian looked back at him, her voice neither soft nor serious, but enough for everyone present to hear: "Well, yes, those people are going to hit someone."

Middle-aged man: "?" Who is being beaten?

He really lost his temper, pointed at Jiang Chen and said, "You are so courageous, you"

Before the words were finished, sirens seemed to be dispatched in the old town.

"Damn, this damn girl really called the police and left."

A few people knew they were in the wrong, clenched their fists and stepped back.

The middle-aged man wanted to turn around and give a warning, but was stunned again.

There was a hostility in Jiang Chen's body, and his eyes were even sharper, with a sharp feeling of dragging people to hell.

He took back his still aching fingers, got into the minivan, and ran away quickly.

Ye Mian then put down her phone and turned to look at Jiang Chen cautiously, her voice filled with worry: "Jiang Chen, are you hurt? Are they bullying you?"
