Be Good
“Damn it!”
Pan Zhiwei finally came to his senses, and touched the two places where the stick had just struck.
Bian Shengjian’s hands were heavy, and at this moment, he could feel the two places swelled up through his trousers. When he looked up again, his eyes almost burst into flames.
“Fuck you, Bian Shengjian!”
“Come.” Bian Shengjian pointed at his crotch with the stick, his eyes cold, “One more curse and I will get rid of you.”
Pan Zhiwei twisted his neck from side to side and rushed towards him, Bian Shengjian also unceremoniously drew a second blow to his hip bone, and simultaneously dodged the punch that was aimed straight at his face. The stick held by the skinny hand horizontally stabbed Pan Zhiwei’s lower abdomen. The force was neither light nor heavy, but it was enough to make his stomach bear a lot of impact.
“Fuck.”
Pan Zhiwei frowned after being stabbed, bent slightly and took a step back, covering his abdomen with his hands, with a painful expression on his face.
“Cough cough…………You fucking threw that stick! If you have the ability, let’s fight honestly!”
“Honestly?” Bian Shengjian twitched the corners of his lips. “Then did you pay attention to being honest when you dribbled the ball into someone? Pan Zhiwei, you are so fucking shameless.”
“Get his stick for me!”
Pan Zhiwei yelled, and suddenly two people squeezed out of the crowd, and one of them rushed towards Bian Shengjian quickly. It was Jiang Wei.
“You fucking get rid of your weapon!”
Bian Shengjian didn’t speak, and threw his hand on his shoulder. “I have also tolerated you for a long time, idiot.”
As the other person noticed that the situation was not good, he directly snatched a stack of information books from a girl nearby, and threw it at Bian Shengjian. Bian Shengjian was busy dealing with Jiang Wei and when he saw the pile of things flying towards him from his peripheral vision, he could only raise an arm to block it in a hurry. Afterwards, Jiang Wei took the opportunity to reach out and grab the end of the stick, and twisted it sideways vigorously. As the violent action rubbed against Bian Shengjian’s wounds, he immediately felt a piercing pain rising from his palm, that even the end of the handle was stained with blood.
“Fuck.” As soon as Bian Shengjian let go subconsciously, Jiang Wei immediately pulled him forward hard, followed by a punch.
“You’re tired of living!”
“Get him!”
At the same time, there was a loud roar from behind. Pan Zhiwei and another person rushed up together, intending to resolve all the grievances accumulated before today.
“Let this fucking serves you a lesson to not be so fucking aggressive in the future!”
“Stop.”
Jiang Wei’s fist suddenly stopped for a moment, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t hit Bian Shengjian’s face. This haunted scene made him break out in a cold sweat, and when he slowly turned his head, he was met with Lu Shen’s cold eyes.
“Let him go.”
Because the scene was so weird, even the crowd watching the play didn’t react for a moment, but Bian Shengjian immediately threw the stick in his hand, and quickly clenched his palm and punched Jiang Wei’s side face hard. Jiang Wei felt pain and at the same time he noticed that he could move again. He fell to the ground in embarrassment after being hit backwards, and groaned twice with blank eyes.
“Fuck, what the hell………….”
“Is your hand okay?” Lu Shen frowned and went to grab his hand, but Bian Shengjian waved it away quickly. “Wait for a minute.”
“What the hell did you do?”
The two people who were about to rush over froze in place, and stared at Bian Shengjian in disbelief. “You…”
“Brother Jian! Get out of the way! Let me pass through!”
During the confrontation, a person suddenly rushed out of the crowd, Zhou Li immediately kicked Pan Zhiwei’s calf directly, pointed at him and cursed viciously. “You fucker! Did you play some dirty trick again? Bah! What a fucking shameless thing!”
“What the hell are you doing?”
Pan Zhiwei was a bit taller than him. Hearing this, he reached out and grabbed his collar and pulled it aside. “Scram!”
Zhou Li staggered being pulled by him, and without any scruples, he bit his wrist in a heartless bite which made Pan Zhiwei yell on the spot.
“Zhou Li, are you a fucking dog! Let me go!”
“It was you who came to find trouble first.” Bian Shengjian greeted him with a sneer, and punched again at the place where the stick just hit. As the other follower was subdued by Lu Shen, and after being punched in the face, he squatted down on the ground and immediately started yelling.
“Class 6! A few more!”
Things quickly became chaotic. Just when Pan Zhiwei was bent over and vomited on the ground due to Bian Shengjian’s relentless punch, a referee had just pushed through the crowd and rushed over.
“What is happening here!”
“They’re beating people up!”
Who knew who yelled first, but several boys from Class 4 rushed out and wrestled with Jiang Wei and the others, cursing. “Can the people in your class have some dignity! We’ve already tolerated you for a long time too!!”
“If you can’t bear it, then don’t bear it! Let’s just fight!” The Class 6 also roared.
“Don’t fight! Stop the fight!” The class monitor of Class 4 finally rushed over after hearing the news, and looked at the chaotic scene in front of him with horror. “The teaching director is coming soon! Stop fighting!”
“Shut up, stinky old bastard!”
Pan Zhiwei spat on the ground, and finally lifted his head while covering his stomach, stared at Bian Shengjian with flames almost bursting out of his eyes. “You just fucking wait…”
A cold hand suddenly grasped his neck, obviously there was no force on the grip, but Pan Zhiwei unexpectedly felt a burst of suffocation.
“Uggh…”
“Don’t trouble him in the future,” Lu Shen stared into his eyes, “You hear me?”
“I……”
Pan Zhiwei struggled with his hands and feet at the same time, his eyes gradually rolled up to reveal the whites of his eyes, and only managed to squeeze out a few words from his throat.
“Heard…I heard……”
“Lu Shen!”
Bian Shengjian became stunned. Fearing that he would really kill him on the spot, he quickly wanted to reach out and grab him, but he forgot that his palm was hurt, thus he groaned in pain as soon as he exerted force on it. ” Damn………………”
Lu Shen immediately let go, looked at Pan Zhiwei who was paralyzed on the ground with eyes like looking at garbage, and immediately pinched Bian Shengjian’s wrist.
“Show me your hand.”
“It’s okay, it’s really okay.” Bian Shengjian frowned and didn’t want to show him, but was forced to open his palm again, revealing a bloody trail.
Lu Shen’s face darkened.
“You guys! Don’t fight anymore!” The referee and the teaching director who rushed over wrestled and separated the two teams. After hearing the screams, they turned around and saw Pan Zhiwei lying on the ground. They became startled and immediately rushed forward.
“What’s wrong!”
“Ghost……There is a ghost…” Pan Zhiwei murmured, and when he looked at Bian Shengjian and Lu Shen, his eyes turned into that of fear. “Help……save me!”
“What’s going on!” The director yelled, but the moment he saw Bian Shengjian clearly, his expression became a little complicated, and he could only lower his head and continue yelling at Pan Zhiwei. “What the hell is going on!
“He…” Pan Zhiwei raised his head tremblingly, and was afraid to speak for a moment when he met Lu Shen’s eyes.
“He deliberately hit me with the baton during the relay race.” Bian Shengjian pointed to Pan Zhiwei and said, “The crowd should have seen it.”
“Yes! We all saw it!” The voices of a few girls suddenly came from the side, their faces were scared but they still insisted on speaking. “He…….he did it on purpose.”
“Really?” The director gave Pan Zhiwei a suspicious look, then pointed to the people who had just been separated, “Then who did it first?”
“It’s him!” Pan Zhiwei finally came to his senses, pointed at Bian Shengjian and shouted, “He did it first!”
“You hit me first.” Bian Shengjian shook the wound on his palm, “Huh, these are all thanks to you.”
“What class do you belong to?” The director’s face sank, staring at Pan Zhiwei, “Name?”
“…..Pan Zhiwei.” Pan Zhiwei said in a low voice.
“Good, you and all of you, come to the office with me!” The director stretched his fingers around the people who had just scuffled, and finally fixed his eyes on Bian Shengjian, “You too, Come with me.”
“Yes.” Bian Shengjian replied, and then said, “But Director, can I go and treat my wound first?”
“Okay, but come to my office when you’re done.” The director glanced at his palm, then turned his head and yelled with a dark face. “The rest of you come with me right away! The school sports meeting has become so wild in a few days! Do you regard the school as your own home?”
“Let’s go.” Lu Shen held his wrist, “Let’s go to the school infirmary first for disinfection.”
“Okay.” Bian Shengjian nodded helplessly, and after separating away from the crowd, he lowered his voice and said, “Don’t do that in the future.”
“Which one?” Lu Shen breathed lightly on his wound before looking up at him.
“Just, don’t make people breathless.” Bian Shengjian reached out and pinched his face forcefully, “Understand?”
“He did it first,” Lu Shen looked a little depressed. “I can’t help it….I want to protect you.”
“I’m not weak enough to need your protection, am I?” Bian Shengjian clicked his tongue and poked him hard on the face a few times. “You fucking scared me to death just now! I thought you’d really kill him back there.”
“I……” Lu Shen opened his mouth but did not continue.
“In the future, without my permission, you are not allowed to do that. “
Bian Shengjian pinched his chin, turned his face to his side, stared at him and said, “Do you hear me? Promise me that.”
“I promise.” Lu Shen nodded, looking at his wounded hand with some distress. ” Young Bian…..”
“Be good.” Bian Shengjian sighed, and patted him on the head twice. “I already said that it’s nothing, just get it disinfected and it’ll be fine, it’s not like I’m going to die.”

“How did it become like this?” The school doctor frowned and looked at his hand carefully. “Did you fall?”
“Yeah.” Bian Shengjian looked at her, “Sister, please detoxify it.”
“Okay,” the school doctor put on gloves neatly, and took a few pieces of gauze from the cabinet. “It may hurt a little, bear with it.”
“It’s okay,” Bian Shengjian turned his head. “Hurry up, I’m afraid it’ll get infected later.”
“If you’re afraid of getting infected, why didn’t you watch your steps?” The school doctor began to pour alcohol into his palm, and used a small brush to gently scrub away the dirt on it. “Don’t move your hands.”
Bian Shengjian didn’t speak, but the moment the alcohol touched his wound, he still couldn’t help the pain and his shoulders trembled, but then he quickly calmed down.
“…Mn.”
“Does it hurt?” Lu Shen watched the school doctor’s movements intently, and tightened his hand on Bian Shengjian’s shoulder. “Can you please be gentle?”
“I’m already doing it very gently, classmate.” The school doctor gave him a dissatisfied look, and quickened the movements of her hands. “Okay, try not to get the wound wet with water these days, and it should heal in a few days.”
Bian Shengjian looked at the hand wrapped in gauze a few times, and was glad that it wasn’t the right hand that was seriously injured, otherwise it would have been difficult to grasp the chopsticks. “Thank you, sister.”
“Then what should you do when you take a shower these days?” Lu Shen still expressed concern. “Do you want me to help……”
“No need,” Bian Shengjian immediately interrupted him, “I’ll just do it myself.
“Okay,” Lu Shen looked at him after a pause, ” but I won’t look at you.”
“I know,” Bian Shengjian also looked at him, “Am I still afraid of you watching?”
“Then after you go back tonight, let me have a look.” Lu Shen said immediately, blinking his eyes in the process.
Bian Shengjian: “…Get lost.”
Although this group fight was a bit inexplicable, Bian Shengjian was quite surprised by the result of the handling. Probably because his father had made various contributions to the school before, the director didn’t dare to embarrass him too much and merely asked him to just write a reflection in private and hand it over to his office.
As for Pan Zhiwei and others, it was quite miserable, because after investigation, it was found out that they were the one who truly provoked maliciously first, and before that, they had also randomly expropriated the school’s broadcast station and yelled, therefore the members of the Class 6 who participated in this group fight were punished. Afterwards, they would have to conduct a self-criticism next Monday in front of the teachers and students of the whole school. As for the remaining boys from Class 4, although they were not punished under Lao Tan’s arguments, they still had to go on stage together with Class 6.
But in Zhou Li’s opinion, this was already the best result. Because he was completely outraged, when he went up to the flag raising platform to read his self-criticism, he read it with a perfect accent and full of pride. As Shengjian listened below, he wanted to laugh for a while.
“Dear teacher, respected students! I…” Zhou Li read the beginning passionately, but was interrupted by the director with a light cough. “Student, you read it wrongly.”
“Ah?” Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, and quickly corrected himself as laughter sounded below, and read again passionately. “Ah, I’m sorry, it’s respected teacher, dear students! It’s just that in the school sports meeting last week, I unfortunately got into a fight with our fellow classmates in Class 6! The scene was very chaotic at that time. Fortunately, our respected director arrived in time to stop us! I deeply understand that this is a very wrong behavior! And I promise that I won’t do it again……”
Bian Shengjian suppressed his laughter so much that his shoulders shook. He couldn’t help but grab Lu Shen’s shoulder so hard to stop himself from laughing. “This is really….insane.”
The director turned pale when he heard this passionate speech, and interrupted Zhou Li when he was halfway through his talk. “Okay, okay, you can go down now!”
“But I haven’t finished reading yet!” Zhou Li patted the manuscript, and said with a righteous face. “Director, I really want to repent on my mistakes this time very sincerely.”
“I know, your attitude…is very good.” The director couldn’t help but sigh. “Go on now.”
“Thank you, Director!” Zhou Li yelled again before turning around and walking off the stage, leaving behind a few people from Class 6 who’s faces almost turn black as a pan, staring at his brazen back and wishing they could stare two holes directly.
“They shouldn’t come to find trouble with you again, right?” Lu Shen whispered.
“Probably not, those grandsons are probably avoiding me now.” Bian Shengjian gave him another sideways glance as he spoke. “Thank you for that.”
“You’re welcome.” Lu Shen smiled baring his teeth at him.
*****
“Be quiet!” Old Tan patted the podium vigorously, “Everyone be quiet! Listen to me!”
“Yes–” Zhou Li shouted in a long voice, and lazily leaned back on his chair.
“Zhou Li, you’re quite proud of just finishing the self-criticism, aren’t you?” Old Tan glared at him, “Why don’t you come up now and finish reading the manuscript you haven’t finished for the whole class?”
“Okay!” Zhou Li bounced up immediately.
“Sit down! I see that you’re still as impulsive as before.” Old Tan scolded.
There was a burst of laughter from the audience.
Bian Shengjian also laughed a few times, suddenly Lu Shen pinched his hand gently, therefore he turned and looked at him. “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing.” Lu Shen paused, “It’s just these few days…… I feel a little bit unwell.”
“……What date is it today?” Bian Shengjian’s smile dimmed, and quickly took out his phone.
November 8th.
“Do you feel anything strange these days?” Lu Shen asked softly.
“No.” Bian Shengjian answered truthfully.
“Ah, that’s good.” Lu Shen breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his head and smiled at him. “It’s okay.”
Bian Shengjian didn’t speak, frowned and said in a low voice. “Is it the 15th of this month……”
“It’s hard to say, let’s see when the time comes.” Lu Shen’s tone suddenly lowered,
“…Am I dragging you down?”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Bian Shengjian clicked his tongue and was about to speak, when Old Tan on the podium suddenly raised his voice and shouted, “Next week–”
“Ah! What’s going on?” Bian Shengjian was startled and immediately sat up straight.
“Next Wednesday! Don’t forget that we have another midterm exam! Since everyone’s heart is playing wild,” Old Tan put one hand on the podium, and when he glanced over the class, he deliberately stopped by Bian Shengjian’s side for two seconds, “then prepare well, it’s still early before the winter vacation!”
“Understood–” There were scattered responses from below.
Exam?
Bian Shengjian was stunned for two seconds before realizing that he happened to ask for a leave to go home during the mock exam last time, but this kind of exam…..
He couldn’t help rubbing his forehead with his hands, and he couldn’t help sighing when he saw Lu Shen who was a little silent from the corner of his eyes.
On the one hand, there is the exam, and on the other hand, I have to take care of my boyfriend’s affairs.
Tsk tsk, really very busy.
