I want to have a normal campus romance
Page 136
Seeing this, I quickly let go of her waist. Although her face turned a little red, she didn’t say anything. Although this picture is very beautiful, it means something different in the eyes of different people.
“Shit!”
At this moment, a sudden voice in the hometown dialect attracted my attention. I saw Abel, who was sitting on the ground, pushed away his drinking buddies around him and got up from the ground again.
It seemed that I showed no mercy in the first two kicks, which left him with some psychological trauma. It might also be the pain in his body that temporarily dispelled the drunkenness in him, and this time he did not choose to continue rushing over.
This time, I finally saw his face clearly with the help of the light from the street lamp next to me. The previous two times, my experience was all focused on him, and I didn’t pay any attention to his appearance. When I saw his appearance, I immediately frowned.
Looks familiar…very familiar…
While I was observing him, he was also looking at me with a frown. At this moment, I felt something soft beside me, and then I realized that Liu Tongtong was leaning towards me.
The strong sense of déjà vu made me recall the other party’s identity immediately. The other party seemed to know my identity and said to me with gritted teeth:
“It’s you! FUCK!”
“The road between enemies is narrow.”
If I had known that the place was the foreign student who had been beaten black and blue by me, I should have taken the opportunity to kick him a few more times.
To be honest, the size difference is too big. If I hadn’t pinned him to the ground and beat him up last time and remembered his face, I would never have recognized him.
After seeing me, he looked at Liu Tongtong who was next to me, and finally fixed his eyes on the hair tie on my wrist. The expression on his face was even more interesting, and he was burning with anger.
“Why? Are you coming again?”
“Humph, I’ve been working out recently! You’re dead!”
But just when I thought he was going to stand up and continue fighting with me, his drinking buddies around him showed panicked expressions on their faces, and they said something and then ran away.
Even Abel, who was about to fight me for three hundred rounds, looked at the hair tie on my wrist with jealousy after hearing what they said, and then ran away in shame, holding his stomach.
I don’t think I have the kind of domineering personality that can scare away a group of people by just stomping my feet. Almost immediately, I heard the sound of police whistles behind me, mixed with the sound of a walkie-talkie.
Seeing them running away in disgrace, I did not choose to escape with them. After all, since I wanted to beat him up in self-defense, I had no intention of hiding from the police.
Rather, I was planning to wait for the police to arrive.
Although I don’t like to cause trouble, after all, it will only bring a lot of trouble, but when trouble comes, I’m not afraid.
Beating the other person up obviously won’t solve the problem. If you want to solve the problem… you have to start from the root.
At that moment, the crowd that had been watching nearby slowly made way for the scene. Four or five policemen trotted around and looked around as if they wanted to control the scene, but the fight was already over, and they had obviously not found the person after looking for a long time.
However, some policemen were questioning passers-by around, and almost everyone they were questioned pointed in our direction. At one moment, two or three policemen hurriedly trotted away, and more policemen were searching in all directions.
Obviously, the misunderstanding did not happen. Even the policeman who came over to ask us did not show too much ferocity on his face. After all, there were so many people around who could testify for me, not to mention that I was really acting in self-defense.
However, although nothing happened, a trip to the police station was a certainty. After all, whether it was to take a statement or to get the details, this trip could not be avoided.
“Get in the car.”
After the questioning, a middle-aged policeman with a kind face opened the door of the police car and smiled at us, as if he didn’t want us to be too nervous.
I don’t care, as I’ve been to police cars and public security bureaus before. But for Liu Tongtong, this is the first time. Although she is not very scared, she is still a little nervous.
If it were a normal situation, I might say a few jokes to her to lighten the atmosphere, but doing this in a police car… It always feels a bit weird, especially when there is a policeman sitting in the front.
After getting in the police car, I slowly opened my cell phone. It would have been fine if I hadn’t checked it, but when I looked at the time, it was almost time to close the dormitory. I was just about to call Fatty and the others to ask them to inform the dormitory manager to leave the door open for me, but I found that Fatty and the others called me first.
Seeing this, I subconsciously pressed the answer button, but soon…the familiar taste, familiar operation, familiar formula, gave me a bad feeling.
“Hey, Fatty…”
“Oh my god, Xiaolin, the dormitory is almost closed, where have you been again! You didn’t go out on a date with a girl today and stay out of town and not come back!”
The police car was originally very quiet, and the fat man’s roar was particularly loud. Not only did Liu Tongtong, who was sitting next to me, turn her head to look at me, but even the middle-aged policeman sitting in the front was looking at me in the rearview mirror.
“Wo Ri, don’t talk nonsense, I’m going to the Public Security Bureau!”
Seeing this, I quickly blocked the fat man’s mouth, and the other side fell silent briefly with my explanation. But before I could calm down, I heard the fat man shouting:
“Oh my god, Xiaolin, your crime has been exposed and you’ve been arrested by the police?!”
???
Chapter 269 Destined Person
After I heard what the fat guy said on the other end of the phone, I almost vomited blood. What do you mean I was caught by the police because my crime was exposed?
The fat man’s voice was heard from the other end of the phone again, calling Xiao Li and Lao Wang. Judging from their aura, one would have thought they were here to rob the execution ground.
Although I was touched, I also secretly complained about how distorted the image of me was in their minds. How could they imagine that I was caught by the police?
You don’t go to the police station until you’re arrested!
Seeing this, I coughed twice, briefly explained my situation to them, and then asked them to tell the dormitory manager to leave the door open for me, otherwise I might really have to stay outside all night.
I don’t mind, but letting Liu Tongtong stay outside the school for a night, uh… forget it. Given this girl’s personality, who knows what would happen if we really stayed outside for a night.
“Eh? By the way, Xiaolin, these past two days-“
“Ahem, um… I have something else to do here, so I’ll hang up first.”
After explaining the situation here, I quickly hung up the phone with the fat guy, fearing that he would reveal some big news again.
The middle-aged policeman sitting in the front was fine. After coughing twice, he seemed to pretend not to hear what was said on the phone and continued driving on his own.
Liu Tongtong, who was sitting next to me, folded her arms and stared at me silently. Although she didn’t say anything, to be honest… I would rather she said something.
This made me feel ashamed, but fortunately this girl was not angry. On the contrary… her eyes were rolling around, as if she was thinking about something, but I guessed it was definitely not a good thing.
My interpersonal relationships are already complicated enough. If this girl comes up with some new ideas, the already complicated relationships will become even more complicated.
Especially after I recognized that this girl was the girl I rescued that year, I had countless questions in my mind, but because there was someone sitting in front of me, it was not convenient for me to open my mouth.
Perhaps because there was less traffic at night, or perhaps because it was a police car, it didn’t take long for the car to reach the nearby police station.
The following was the usual procedure, which was nothing more than a reception, then going to the office and taking a statement. However, because I was the main person involved in the case and the statement had to be taken alone, I went into the room alone to take the statement.
The so-called record was nothing more than asking about my identity and what happened. After all, it was not me who took the initiative to cause trouble, so I was just sitting in the office, facing a policeman who was typing away on the keyboard.
“How long until it’s over?”
Seeing this, I looked at the time and found that it was time to close the dormitory. I couldn’t help but sigh silently, and then slowly asked the policeman sitting in front of me.
“We are still verifying the basic information…it may take a while.”
The policeman sitting opposite me spoke to me slowly, and then asked me a casual question with great interest.
“Hahaha, you’re quite brave. Some college students who came in for their first fight were worried about whether they would be taken to the interrogation room.”
“This is at most a civil dispute, not a criminal case. How could we go to the interrogation room?”
After hearing what the other person said, I shrugged helplessly, but after hearing what I said, he seemed to have heard something interesting and couldn’t help but smile and say to me.
“You know me pretty well. As soon as you came in, you told me all your basic information without waiting for me to ask. If I hadn’t seen that you had no criminal record, I would have thought you were a habitual offender.”
It’s too much of an exaggeration to say that he is a repeat offender…
But it is true that unless you are studying in police academy or law school, who would bother to learn about this stuff? To be honest… I was exposed to these things when I was a child, otherwise I might not know much about them.
“Dong dong dong.”
At this moment, there was a knock on the office door, and a policeman with documents came in. After talking to the policeman for a few words, he turned to me and said:
“It’s true. We have already notified your school. It’s too late today. You should go back to school first.”
After hearing his words, I nodded, and the policeman sitting opposite me jokingly said to his colleague:
“You’re too slow. Don’t come back and make the girl wait anxiously.”
“What can I do? I have to follow the routine…Hey, young man, your girlfriend is waiting for you in the lobby, go over quickly.”
Although the corner of my eye twitched, I didn’t say anything. It was just a misunderstanding. It wasn’t the first or second time it happened. I got used to it after it happened so many times.
What’s more, sometimes even I can’t tell the difference…
Seeing this, I let out a breath, then opened the office door and walked out. However, as soon as I walked out, I heard a noise coming from all around.
“Young man, I see that your forehead is black, it must be…”
“Okay, okay, old man, I get it. You can go back and chat with your spouse when you have nothing to do, and don’t sell your amulet everywhere.”
“Hey, why don’t you believe it? My amulets are all genuine. I have one blessed by a priest in the Vatican, and I also have one from the Aachen Church. If you don’t believe in the Western stuff, I have one blessed by Longhu Mountain…”
“Old man, the door is over there.”
Just at this moment, a young policeman came out pushing a familiar old man. When I saw him, I immediately remembered that he was the old man who sold amulets before!
In his left hand he held a peach wood sword blessed by a Vatican priest, in his right hand he held a walnut baptized by the Aachen Church, and around his neck hung a cross blessed by Mount Longhu. He looked like an old swindler.
Are these things about consecration, baptism, and consecration serious? Are you sure you don’t mean it the other way around?
“What do you know, kid? This is called… developing new markets!”
At this moment, the old man couldn’t help but speak to me angrily, and the young policeman saw this, rubbed his head and slipped back to the office.
Hmm…did I just accidentally say what I was thinking?
No, that’s not important… What’s important is——
“Wait a minute, where’s the fifty dollars you cheated my friend out of last time!”
“What do you mean by cheating? That was a legitimate transaction. Besides…didn’t I give you an amulet as compensation? That thing is different from the amulet I sell. This is a twin amulet, a pair. I only give this thing to the destined person.”
When I heard his words, the corners of my eyes twitched. Although the workmanship of that thing was indeed exquisite, it was definitely not a valuable thing that came from the hands of this old swindler.
This old liar tells lies without thinking. If this amulet is really a pair, the other half should be in Liu Tongtong’s hands. But the amulet pendant of Liu Tongtong is obviously not the same type as mine, so how can they be considered a pair?
The amulet that Bai Yun bought at that time was a four-leaf clover amulet, which was completely different from the angel-shaped amulet he gave me.
It’s impossible that the amulet is in the hands of a third person? How can you do business like this?
“Hey, don’t disbelieve me, they really are a pair, but the other amulet is in the hands of another ‘destined person’.”
Chapter 270 Balloon Flower
I don’t believe you!
To be honest, for a moment, I actually believed it.
But when I recalled that this old man was the small vendor selling amulets that Bai Yun, Liu Tongtong and I met when we were shopping on Binjiang Avenue when we were buying mobile phones, that feeling disappeared.
“Didn’t you say that my amulet is for blessing?”
My original intention was to remind him that when he handed the amulet to me on Binjiang Avenue before, he did not say that the amulets were a pair. This statement was inconsistent and the lie was full of loopholes.
But the old man seemed not to understand what I said, and said to me as we walked:
“That’s right. These are twin amulets. The meaning of both amulets is to protect each other and their significant other.”
“Can this thing be disassembled and sold?”
Wow… Logically speaking, shouldn’t this thing be sold in pairs?
However, the old man just laughed, then slowly pushed open the door at the end of the corridor. Outside was the lobby of the Public Security Bureau. Because it was evening, there were not many people there. Only the girl Liu Tongtong waved at me after seeing me.
After the old man saw Liu Tongtong, he looked at me and said to me with a smile:
“You don’t have to worry. Protecting your other half doesn’t necessarily mean one person, it can also mean multiple people.”
???
After hearing what the old man said, a bunch of questions popped up in my mind. Is he serious? Can this be explained in this way?
No, no, this doesn’t sound right!
“But when you have your feet on multiple boats, you have to think carefully about which foot to lift first.”
After the old man finished speaking, he chuckled, then gathered up his belongings and walked out of the Public Security Bureau, leaving me alone in the wind.
It wasn’t until the little girl Liu Tongtong waved her hands in front of me that I finally came to my senses, but his words still lingered in my mind.
Wait a minute, was this old guy trying to trick me and then run away when I wasn’t paying attention?
“Brother…Brother?”
“Uh…ah? What’s wrong?”
