Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 19 Brother Chen
Xie Bingran: "What's wrong?"

Xu Chen: "On Sunday, I'll take you to practice first!"

Xie Bingran: "No, I have to go back to see grandma on the weekend."

Xu Chen: "That's perfect. I'll be back in town this weekend. Let's go to the junior high school playground!"

Xie Bingran was silent for a moment.

Some memories from junior high school suddenly came back to my mind.

The good and bad past...

"Okay... After practice, you have to treat me to a meal."

Xu Chen smiled happily.

……

……

The next day, some rumors still spread around the campus.

It’s just that there are many different versions, some true and some false.

But some key pieces of information are basically the same.

Brother Bing was in danger, and Xu Chen from Class 5 led people to rescue him...

The incident became a big fuss, and the police station was called, and the director of the political education department went to rescue the person...

It involves people on the "gang", even fugitives...

And so on.

The rumors continue.

The parties involved in the incident, Xu Chen, Xie Bingran, Li Rui and others, all remained silent.

But what is certain is that Xu Chen’s popularity and discussion have been raised again.

Xu Chen also felt helpless about this.

It’s just that “Brother Bing” is so famous that he has been under the spotlight.

But Xu Chen didn't take it seriously and still focused his main energy on reviewing for the college entrance examination.

Familiar people like Chen Dahai also came over to ask about their concerns.

But after all, it involved some of Xie Bingran's privacy, so Xu Chen did not reveal too much on the grounds that it "involved the case."

However, it has triggered more associations and heated discussions.

……

During the break, Xu Chen followed the class team and walked towards the playground.

I was laughing and joking with Chen Dahai and others along the way, but I found that there were always people around me staring at me and whispering.

Well...it really feels like being on the cusp of a storm.

Some people who were not very familiar but knew each other came to Xu Chen to verify, but Xu Chen was too lazy to pay attention to them. Chen Dahai next to him was very proactive and blocked them all.

……

At noon, Xu Chen, Chen Dahai and several roommates went to the cafeteria to get lunch.

The college entrance examination is approaching, and it takes too long to eat outside the school, so everyone still defaults to going to the cafeteria.

Finish eating quickly and go back, you can still read for a while.

The college entrance examination has entered the stage of "sharpening the sword before the battle".

It is actually the most cost-effective to review now. Every question and knowledge point you remember may appear in the college entrance examination.

At the table in the corner, Xu Chen sat down quietly to eat.

Suddenly, a few people came up from behind and when they passed by Xu Chen, they whispered "Brother Chen".

Xu Chen looked back and found that he didn't recognize him. He could only guess that it was someone from Xie Bingran's side.

They didn't say much, just called out "Brother Chen" and turned around and left.

After a while, a few more boys passed by and bowed and called "Brother Chen" as well...

Just when he had a meal in the cafeteria, several groups of people came to Xu Chen one after another and called him "Brother Chen", which made him speechless.

It seems that after what happened yesterday, he has already gained the reputation of "Brother Chen" in the circle where Xie Bingran and Li Rui are.

Chen Dahai and several other roommates looked somewhat excited.

"Master Xu, you are Brother Chen now, you have to protect us!"

"Should we also call him Brother Chen?"

Xu Chen was too lazy to pay attention and looked around, but did not see Xie Bingran.

Suddenly I remembered that when I left the police station last night, the young female police officer said that Xie Bingran would be there again at noon today.

Xu Chen was about to look away when he saw the non-mainstream girl Zhao Linlin. Zhao Linlin also saw Xu Chen, but she did not come over to make trouble or entangle him like before. Instead, she avoided Xu Chen's gaze and turned away.

Xu Chen frowned, not knowing whether Zhao Linlin was avoiding the issue on her own initiative or whether Xie Bingran had done something in private.

Of course, it might not be Xie Bingran, it could also be Ma Xiang who I met yesterday evening.

This gangster from the vocational school next door is also one of Zhao Linlin’s “brothers”.

After learning about his identity as a "big enemy", he didn't know whether he had a falling out with Zhao Linlin, and then what happened.

As for the fact that Ma Xiang blocked her in the alley yesterday, she didn't know whether it was Zhao Linlin's deliberate instigation or Ma Xiang's own initiative.

But these are no longer important.

As for Zhao Linlin, Xu Chen really didn't want to care about anything.

I wasted a lot of time, energy and money on her in my previous life.

Now I just want to stay away and don’t want any entanglement or intersection.

The meal was finished quickly, and the food in the cafeteria was still so bland.

Xu Chen stood up and was about to clear the dishes when two short-haired boys suddenly appeared behind him.

"Brother Chen, we will help you collect it."

Having said that, they didn't care whether Xu Chentong agreed or not, they reached out and snatched his plates and chopsticks, then turned around and took them to the recycling area.

Xu Chen: “…”

I'm really confused.

Looking at the backs of the two short-haired boys, they don’t look like they are in the third year of high school. Maybe they are in the second or first year.

He is probably from Xie Bingran's side.

Or maybe, he was just a poor child who had received help from Xie Bingran.

Chen Dahai, who was holding a plate, couldn't help but sigh:
"Brother Chen is so impressive!"

Xu Chen smiled helplessly, turned around and walked out of the cafeteria.

"Brother Chen, slow down, wait for us!"

……

……

The week passed quickly.

After school on Friday afternoon, Xu Chen went back to the dormitory to collect his dirty clothes and then left the school.

In the public parking lot opposite the school, I saw my father Xu Zhiquan from afar.

Xu Zhiquan stood next to the Jinbei van with a cigarette in his mouth.

He didn't wear that baggy suit today, but a dirty work suit. His originally meticulously slicked-back hair was just casually smoothed back.

When Xu Zhiquan saw his son Xu Chen from afar, a warm smile immediately broke out on his face.

But he did not go to meet her. Instead, he turned around, opened the car door and got in first.

Xu Chen felt a little confused, so he walked towards the van with his schoolbag and got on the passenger seat.

"My son, are you hungry? I'll take you to eat noodles first!"

"Dad, why did you hide in the car as soon as you saw me?"

Xu Zhiquan smiled naively:
"Dad is wearing dirty clothes today. If your classmates see it, I'm afraid it will embarrass you."

Xu Chen was speechless:
"Dad, what are you talking about... No matter how you dress, I won't think you're embarrassing."

Xu Zhiquan smiled and said:

"Boys your age should still have some dignity. Dad has been through it all and knows everything!

I just came back from Beishan today after visiting the saplings and didn’t have time to change clothes.

Besides, the shabby van I drive isn’t enough to support my son.”

Xu Chen turned his head to look at his father and found that there was still some dirt on his father's forehead, so he used his sleeve to wipe it off.

Xu Zhiquan was stunned for a moment, but did not dodge and smiled happily.

"Son, when daddy gets a nice car, I'll pick you up at the school gate!"

Xu Chen: "What are you talking about?"

Xu Zhiquan smiled:

"I was just waiting for you in the car, and I saw several A6s coming to the school gate to pick up children. I guess they are all from cadres' families.

Wait until dad makes some more money and buys you an A8."
