Chapter 1435 Extra 2: Courage 2 (Thanks to the Leader, the Needle Grinder)
Chen Fan felt a little tight in his chest when he saw the two people in front of the sink, because they didn't look like good people at first glance.
They should be those bad boys in school who don't study hard, smoke and drink, and associate with people in the society. Chen Fan has seen similar guys before, blocking people at the door of a certain class after class, or bringing His little girlfriend swaggered past in the corridor, looking majestic.
Although most of them will be quickly eliminated by society and severely beaten after the college entrance examination, at least during this period of high school, they are indeed at the upper level of the pyramid.
In contrast, Chen Fan, as a passerby, was undoubtedly the floor tiles at the bottom of the tower, so when he heard the other person telling him not to use the toilet here, Chen Fan did not question why he didn't use the toilet here because it was obviously a public toilet. Let him come in, but be very wise and prepare to leave obediently.
But just when he was about to turn around and leave, he heard an excited voice coming from the toilet.
"That ball was a good risk. I didn't hit your hand at all! Everyone around can testify."
Chen Fan's body trembled because this voice was very familiar to him. It was Wang Ruizhe, his best friend who grew up in the same community as him. Unlike Chen Fan, Wang Ruizhe had been a little hyperactive since he was a child. In addition, He just turned 177. Although his studies are average, his sports scores have always been very good.
Especially in basketball, he has sharp breakthroughs, accurate three-pointers, and tough defense. Every time he appears on the basketball court, he immediately attracts the attention of many members of the opposite sex. From time to time, girls will give him water. In addition, His looks aren't bad either, just like Rukawa Kaede from the manga Slam Dunk.
Moreover, this Rukawa Kaede is not as cold as in the original work. He is very warm-hearted and very popular among the boys in his class. As for Chen Fan, he has been taken care of by Wang Ruizhe since he was a child. Chen Fan still remembers his junior high school days. At that time, he was blackmailed by a nearby gangster, and it was Wang Ruizhe who stood up for him.
Although the two were not in the same class after high school, Wang Ruizhe would ask about Chen Fan's current situation from time to time to see if he was in trouble.
But Chen Fan didn't expect that he wouldn't encounter any trouble, but Wang Ruizhe encountered it first.
As soon as Wang Ruizhe's voice fell in the toilet, another sinister voice sounded, "It's okay if your hands are not clean when you hit the ball, but your mouth is not clean either way. Didn't we already ask the people around you just now? , everyone said they saw you fighting."
"That's not because they are afraid of you and your...well!" Wang Ruizhe said angrily.
But this time, before he could finish his words, he seemed to be punched in the body and let out a painful groan.
"MD, you are still so stubborn. I didn't like you when I was playing basketball before. You look like you are too good at Dior. I feel like you need to be dealt with!"
Chen Fan heard the sound of fists falling inside, mixed with Wang Ruizhe's sporadic resistance, but it seemed that two fists were unable to defeat four hands. He just felt that his mind went blank and he clenched his fists subconsciously.
However, he did not stand still for too long, and soon his body was pushed. The bad boy who asked him to go to the toilet elsewhere said again, "What are you looking at? Do you want to go in and get beaten together?" "
When Chen Fan heard this, his clenched fists unclenched again.
Countless times after the incident, Chen Fan wished that he could be braver at that time, just a little bit, even if he didn't do anything, he just stood there and was dragged into the toilet with Wang Rui by that vicious-looking delinquent. It would be better for Zhe to get a beating than to be really frightened and back away like that.
It's a pity that time cannot be repeated, and there is no if in this world.
At that time, Chen Fan was completely surrounded by fear. This was the natural fear of small herbivores at the bottom of the food chain when they faced carnivorous predators at the top.
Seeing Chen Fan retreating from the opposite side, the look on his face was also very proud, "Don't even think about reporting it to the teacher or the school guard. I have already memorized your appearance. If you dare to tell others about this, then we will I’ll hit you every time I meet you, you know?”
When Chen Fan heard these words, the last trace of courage in his heart disappeared. He felt that all the muscles in his body had become extremely stiff, and he just nodded mechanically under the influence of instinct.
However, the bad guy on the other side didn't seem to be satisfied, "Fuck, are you mute? I'm asking you a question."
"I know, I know." Chen Fan said submissively, his voice softer than a mosquito.
"Louder!" said the bad guy dissatisfied.
However, Chen Fan now felt as if his neck was stuck. He didn't dare to make any more noise for fear of being recognized by Wang Ruizhe in the toilet. As the negative unhappy points accumulated more and more, he just When he was about to have an attack, another of his companions, a guy who seemed a little easier to talk to, said, "Forget it, he should already know how powerful he is, let him go."
After saying that, he looked at Chen Fan again, "Why are you still standing there, why don't you get out of here quickly?"
After Chen Fan heard this sentence, he immediately felt like he was being amnesty. He lowered his head and walked quickly past the basketball court.
He was confused all the way and had no idea how he got home. He opened his schoolbag and took out his homework book. He wanted to do his homework, but he couldn't write a word. The tip of the gel pen hung on the blank paper. , a strong sense of shame surged into Chen Fan's heart.
He just left his best friend behind!
The friend who was willing to stand up for him! ! !
The latter was allowed to be beaten in that toilet, but he did nothing!
Chen Fan didn't know if Wang Ruizhe in the toilet heard his voice, or if someone on the basketball court over there knew him and would tell Wang Ruizhe what happened before.
It was only then that Chen Fan realized that he was likely to lose his best friend, and this was not what frightened him the most. What frightened him most was having to face the cowardice in his heart and admit that he had no courage. people.
And this is what makes Chen Fan really sad.
…………
Chen Fan tightened his grip on the mechanical pencil in his hand. The bell had already rang, and the teacher on the podium also began to assign homework, but Chen Fan no longer had the intention to listen to what he was specifically saying.
He packed his schoolbag and was the first to rush out of the classroom when the teacher announced that school was over. He didn't even pretend to be casual and follow the short-haired girl before watching her leave as usual.
According to Chen Fan's habit, he usually goes home directly after leaving school, but this time he didn't do that. He just wandered aimlessly on the commercial street near the school until the sky darkened, as if A big temple refuses to accept a small temple, and a lonely ghost cannot find its own grave.
In this world, being hated by others is not terrible, but if you even dislike yourself, then you are really hopeless!
Chen Fan didn't know how he ended up in front of a blind box machine.
This kind of thing is very popular now. Merchants first come up with some attractive gimmicks, and then stuff a bunch of worthless gadgets into their own blind box machines. Consumers can actually draw something valuable. The probability is lower than the probability of getting SSR in those krypton gold mobile games in the pig farm.
Normally, Chen Fan would not pay IQ tax for this kind of thing, but today he accidentally stopped in front of a blind box machine, took out his mobile phone, and scanned the payment code on it.
Then, a blind box fell from the shelf.
