Why race if you don’t have money?

Chapter 17 Students cannot beat society

No way, what a coincidence, the person involved was at the scene?
Chen Xiangbei muttered to himself. He had originally planned to go home directly, but when he saw this scene, he hesitated for a moment, pulled out a few tissues from the table and handed them over.

"From now on, be careful when you look at people, and don't pick on any scum."

When the sobbing girl heard these words, her body shook even more violently, and her tears fell onto the table with a "tick, tick" sound.

After a long time, Hu Lingfei turned sideways to take the tissue handed to her by Chen Xiangbei, and said to him with a sob, "Thank you."

Chen Xiangbei doesn't have much of a desire to help others, especially when it comes to emotional matters, he has to rely on himself to wake up. Being able to hand over a tissue and give some advice can already be considered a good deed.

However, when he glanced at Hu Lingfei's profile through her hair, he felt that she looked very familiar. Isn't this the daughter of Uncle Hu who lives next door in the community?
With a mentality of confirmation, Chen Xiangbei asked, "Do you live in Building 5 of Jinhe Community?"

Hearing the boy next to her ask this question, Hu Lingfei looked up at Chen Xiangbei in surprise. With just one glance, she recognized him as the son of Aunt Zhao from Building 6.

Seeing the girl's face clearly, Chen Xiangbei was a little surprised. He had the impression that Uncle Hu's daughter was very gentle and shy. Apart from the occasional encounters on the way to and from school, she rarely went out to play.

As a result, although the two of them were in the same school and the same class, they had actually only had a few interactions and didn't even know her name.

Logically speaking, Hu Lingfei shouldn't be the kind of "good girl" who likes smoking, drinking and clubbing. How could she agree to the confession of a scumbag like Ma Minghan? Could it be that she is really a good girl who likes the yellow-haired boy in the class?

Of course, whether she liked him or not was none of Chen Xiangbei's business. He wasn't so gossipy as to pry into other people's love stories. He simply said calmly, "Wipe your tears and go home. Don't let your father worry."

Compared to Hu Lingfei, Chen Xiangbei is more familiar with Uncle Hu. He lost his wife at an early age and raised his daughter alone. He has an easy-going personality and is cheerful with everyone in the community. Sometimes when he sees Chen Xiangbei coming home, he will remind him to study or pay attention to safety.

Chen Xiangbei himself comes from a single-parent family and knows that life is not easy for parents, so it is best to avoid unnecessary worries.

Hu Lingfei didn't say anything, but her hands followed Chen Xiangbei's words and she quickly wiped the tears from her face.

Seeing that she had almost finished wiping, and apart from some redness and swelling around her eyes, there was not much else to show, Chen Xiangbei said to her, "Let's go home."

After saying that, he walked out of the night snack stall tent on his own and headed towards home.

After walking a few steps, Chen Xiangbei heard footsteps behind him and knew that Hu Lingfei was following him.

Without looking back or talking, the two of them walked home one after the other until they arrived at the downstairs of their apartment building in the community.

"Chen Xiangbei, thank you."

A subtle voice came, Hu Lingfei was very grateful for Chen Xiangbei's company tonight, and at the same time left herself space for silence.

"No need to thank me. Stay away from Ma Minghan from now on."

"I didn't know he was that kind of person."

Hu Lingfei explained that she had never been in a relationship before, and many of Ma Minghan's tricks to pick up girls were simply beyond the reach of a good girl like her.

After being pestered for a long time, she agreed with the mentality of giving it a try, but she didn't expect that the other party would see her in this way.

"Now you know?"

"Ah."

"It's not too late to find out. Just forget about this scumbag."

Chen Xiangbei never advocates the victim-blaming theory. Just like he was once defeated by Xue Meiting, it is also normal for Hu Lingfei to be deceived by Ma Minghan. The worlds and methods used by both parties are not on the same level.

How can a student possibly outperform a working person?

What’s past is past, and people should learn to look forward.

After saying that, Chen Xiangbei waved his hand and walked towards Building No. 6 in front of him.

Hu Lingfei wanted to say something as she watched Chen Xiangbei leave, but ultimately couldn't. That night, Chen Xiangbei slept soundly. Although he still had to get up at six to attend morning self-study classes, it was at least much better than the previous few days of severely insufficient sleep.

As usual, he washed up and went out, buying breakfast at the gate of the community to eat on the way. However, this time, Chen Xiangbei saw a familiar figure standing next to the breakfast stall from a distance. She was Hu Lingfei, whom he met last night.

Seeing Chen Xiangbei coming over, Hu Lingfei waved at him, then handed him the fried dough sticks and soy milk in her hand and said, "I bought you breakfast as a thank you for helping me last night."

“Does handing over a few tissues count as helping?”

Chen Xiangbei replied with a smile, but took the breakfast without hesitation. Who doesn't want something for free?

"Calculate!"

Hu Lingfei nodded solemnly.

"It's up to you."

Chen Xiangbei felt a little helpless. No wonder Ma Minghan could be deceived so easily. This little girl was indeed a little too naive and serious.

While eating breakfast, Chen Xiangbei walked towards the school, and Hu Lingfei followed him silently, not knowing what to say.

After all, apart from the unexpected encounter last night, the two of them are not really familiar with each other.

I walked all the way to school and happened to meet Ma Minghan and his gang at the stairs.

Because of Chen Xiangbei and Hu Lingfei's "weird" way of traveling together, Ma Minghan didn't even think that they were together. He just put on an intimate expression and waved, "Fei Fei~~"

Hu Lingfei's first reaction to Ma Minghan's call was fear. She leaned behind Chen Xiangbei in a panic and subconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes.

Seeing Hu Lingfei's action, Ma Minghan felt a little confused for a moment. What was going on?
"Fei Fei, what are you doing? Come here quickly."

Chen Xiangbei realized his shirt was being pulled, and seeing Ma Minghan's fake smile, he immediately said, "It's obvious that they don't want to pay attention to you, but you still shamelessly ask why?"

"What did you say!"

Ma Minghan was immediately furious. He had long disliked Chen Xiangbei, but he didn't expect that this guy would dare to take the initiative to provoke him.

"Stop licking. You can't lick Hu Lingfei. She doesn't even like me, how can she like you?"

what?
When Chen Xiangbei said this, not only Ma Minghan was confused, but even Hu Lingfei looked at him with an incredible look.

"Bullshit, how am I not better than you? Hu Lingfei is already my girlfriend, understand?"

Ma Minghan's words immediately caused a sensation at the stairs. Even the classmates in the classroom, upon hearing that there was a love triangle gossip to watch, rushed over to watch.

At this time, Chen Xiangbei was in the third grade (3) of high school, and someone in the classroom shouted, "Hurry up and go out and check downstairs, Chen Xiangbei and Ma Minghan are jealous of each other!"

When this voice came out, the classmates all showed surprise on their faces.

Doesn’t Chen Xiangbei like Xue Meiting? It seems like he has been pursuing her for a long time. Also, in the school forum video a few days ago, he was involved with Dong Yuanxi. How come Hu Lingfei appears now?

This guy is really low-key, how come he has hooked up with so many girls?
"Zhou Yanjing, hurry up and go out and watch the show! Chen Xiangbei is trying to steal my love!"

It wasn't just Fatty Wang who called for help. Xue Meiting's best friend Yang Xinxin also ran downstairs with her arm around her. They both couldn't understand why Chen Xiangbei fell in love with someone else so quickly.

It was Dong Yuanxi a few days ago, but now it has become Hu Lingfei from Class 5 () of Senior High School?

Even Dong Yuanxi, who never joined in such a commotion, stood up from his seat, walked to the guardrail outside the classroom, and silently watched everything downstairs.
