Chapter 61: Distressed Dam
Dan has been in a mixed mood recently.
Looking at the packed backpack, there is a trace of timidity in his eyes. Although the guy who bullied him has apologized to him, he still feels a little uncomfortable.
"Dan, hurry up! Today is your first day back to school, cheer up!"
Dan's fat father's eyes sank slightly. Seeing Dan's hesitant expression, he was furious. He has always been strong-willed, how could he give birth to such a cowardly son!
"Okay, Dad!"
After packing up, Dan got into his father's antique car, and drove away with the roar of the engine.
Highland High School, as the most prestigious private high school in Gotham, gathers most of the civilian and noble students in the music world.
Dan walked in the aisle of the campus with his head down, looking quickly at the students walking through the campus with laughter, and his mouth curled slightly.
Having been in this school for two years, he knows that this school is not as calm as it seems on the surface.
He walked faster, and suddenly he staggered forward, slowly putting his backpack back on his back, his face flushed.
"Puff! Look at that guy!"
"Isn't that Dam? Good man, how long have I not seen him? I almost forgot about him!"
With words coming one after another, Dam couldn't help but rush to the classroom quickly.
He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he sat down at his seat, and looked at his friend Kate at the next table. At this time, he was staring at the book tightly, as if he didn't notice anything.
"Hi?"
Dam couldn't help but call softly, but Kate glanced at him lightly, then turned her head to continue reading, which made Dam a little embarrassed.
Bang!
With a dull slap, Dam's upper body fell forward slightly, heavily against the edge of the table, and looked back in astonishment.
"Dam, you are finally back?"
The blond boy patted Dam's back fiercely, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Sam, I have forgiven you, please don't bother me anymore!"
Dam gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, his face slightly pale.
"Yes, yes! Forgot that Dam has the famous Bruce Wayne as a friend! He doesn't even look down on people like us!"
As the boy couldn't help shouting loudly, everyone in the classroom looked over with laughter.
This scene made Dam's hands tightly clasped together, his face extremely ugly.
Patting Dam's shoulders fiercely again, the blond man walked away with the two companions behind him, occasionally revealing Dam's previous embarrassing things, causing others to laugh.
"..."
Dam spent this difficult day with a pale face, looking at his former companions, but he didn't get any response, even though he gestured several times.
He couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
The sun shines from the east corner to the west corner of the teaching building.
Dam didn't know how he left the school. He slowly pushed open the familiar door. His excited laughter was mixed with shouts, and a smile appeared on his face again.
He looked at Lin Jue who was walking through the crowd. He smiled and rushed to Emily's bar.
He took Emily's wine tray and started to help pass the wine.
"Dam, I heard that you went to school. How is it? You must be very happy today?"
Emily couldn't help but joked.
"Not bad! Everyone is very enthusiastic!" Dan smiled and spoke very quickly. After responding to Emily's words, he hurriedly sent the wine tray to the corresponding desk.
"Woo! I want to go to school too!" Emily muttered, but looking at the busy bar, she showed a relieved expression again.
About an hour later, Dan slowly sat at the dining table and began to drink by himself.
Looking at the bustling crowd in the bar with deep eyes, feeling the rare comfort in his heart.
Putting the discarded empty bottles of the guests into the wine box one by one, Lin Jue quickly shuttled between the tables.
"Good guy, Lin, you are the most capable employee I have ever seen!" A middle-aged man with a long beard couldn't help but admire. In such a large pub, Lin Jue has been busy from morning to afternoon, without any intention of stopping to rest, which makes the middle-aged man who is also a shop owner envious, envious of Emily for having such a capable employee!
There is no way, there is no harm without comparison. Compared with the guys in his shop, Lin Jue's high-frequency work has not complained at all, but his employees leave on time at four o'clock in the afternoon, and have no intention of making more contributions to the shop.
"Ha! Thank you for your praise!"
Lin Jue smiled, working for several hours in a row, without bringing him any fatigue. He slowly put the last empty bottle into the wine box, stretched his waist, and then walked towards Dan's table.
"Hi!"
Seeing Lin Jue coming, Dam's eyes lit up, and he quickly poured the whiskey in his hand into the glass beside him.
Lin Jue took the glass and drank it all, feeling the burning taste in his throat, a trace of satisfaction flashed across his face.
"Lin, when are you going to school?"
"?"
Dam's face was excited, and he suddenly thought that it would be very interesting if Lin Jue went to school.
"I heard it from Emily. She asked me about our school before. Compared with normal public schools, our school is more relaxed about the admission of new students because it is private.
And from my current observation, Emily's tavern business is so prosperous. Thanks to the deterrence of the Trial Council, the business will definitely get better and better. The current income can hire some employees!"
Looking at Dam's leisurely talk, Lin Jue did not show much interest. At this moment, he just wanted to become stronger steadily, strong enough to not fear any threats.
During this period, thanks to the previous deterrence, the number of crimes near Hualier Street has been greatly reduced, so that he went out to blow the cold wind these nights and ran back in a hurry.
Now he feels that he can expand his business to a larger scale.
Just as the two were thinking about their own things, a graceful figure slowly came to Lin Jue and sat down.
Dam, who was originally talking with a beaming face, froze instantly, and then his expression became serious.
"Hello!"
"Hello!"
Somewhat flattered, he shook hands with Patrina, and Dam experienced the restlessness of adolescence for the first time.
Under the Western hat with British characteristics, Patrina's face was calm, her slender thighs slowly overlapped, and her eyes looked directly at Lin Jue, who was thinking about something.
She took the wine glass from Lin Jue's hand and drank the remaining whiskey in it. Her move finally attracted Lin Jue's attention.
"Lin, are you interested in going out together tonight?"
"Why do you say that?"
Lin Jue frowned slightly, realizing that the elegant woman in front of him seemed to know something.
"..."
Dam stared at the two of them blankly, his eyes subconsciously looking at the bar's booth. A small head was staring at this side blankly, and seemed to notice his gaze, and quickly turned away...
