Wife, please behave yourself.

Chapter 5 Sending her back to class
The girl probably didn't realize what was happening.

Staring with wide, round eyes, she didn't know whether to continue crying or start explaining herself.

When Liu Changcun saw that the other person had finally stopped crying, he sighed helplessly.

Whether it's a daughter crying at home or a young girl who has just stopped crying in front of her.

It seems that even young girls, when faced with problems, have their eyes constantly watering like a faucet that can't be turned off.

In Liu Changcun's memory, crying is a rare occurrence.

In his previous life, he had never shed a tear since he could remember. Even when he came into this world and took over such a mess, he only sighed a few times.

Believing in the idea that things will work themselves out, Liu Changcun doesn't think there's any problem that can't be solved.

For example, the girl in front of me who is still sniffling.

Whether you were instructed by someone or you did something wrong yourself, what's the use of crying now that you've been caught?

"Tell me, why did you do this?"

Liu Changcun's question finally elicited a response from the stunned girl.

First, he glanced at the calm-looking bookstore owner across the street, then subconsciously looked at the boy staring at him from the side.

I caught a glimpse of Liu Songyan's face, where only his nose and mouth were visible.

Upon realizing that the other person was facing him, he immediately lowered his face again.

I was afraid of meeting the gaze of this infamous campus legend.

He clasped his hands together and pondered for a while.

"Yes, they made me do it... saying it was for fun..."

"What's your relationship with those people from earlier?"

"They are my classmates..."

Because her emotions had not completely subsided, Chi Jinhe's voice still clearly trembled with sobs when she answered.

After revealing the truth, she lowered her head and waited for further questioning.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Changcun understood what was going on.

This phenomenon seems to exist in every era.

Even when wearing the school's uniform, some people will still find ways to distinguish themselves.

For example, shoes, or the latest electronic products.

Because of their privileged family background, people often develop a keen sense of wealth disparity.

It's easy to find people who come from ordinary families and are honest and simple.

They usually test the waters first, and once they're sure there's no sign of resistance, they'll gradually escalate their actions.

The girl in front of me looked like the honest and well-behaved type.

He had a student hairstyle that conformed to school regulations, with the length just reaching his shoulders.

A section of bangs framing her forehead slightly covered her eyebrows, making her already round eyes appear even larger.

Her face still has a bit of baby fat, perhaps because she is still in puberty.

The girl's face still had a strong childishness.

She is of above-average appearance, but her demeanor is somewhat diminished because she always keeps her head down.

Liu Changcun sized up the girl in front of him, then suddenly turned his gaze to his silent son.

Liu Changcun, the father, had long heard of his son's reputation at school.

It wasn't just because of his strange hairstyle, but also because of the feat he accomplished when he first entered junior high school.

Challenging someone of a higher level is a trope that often appears in novels.

In reality, during the period when teenagers' bodies have not yet fully developed, age differences mean differences in physical fitness.

At that time, Liu Songyan, who had just entered the first year of junior high school, was able to make many junior high students run away in fear by his own strength.

The school authorities at the time, adhering to the idea of ​​smoothing things over, specifically summoned Liu Changcun to the school.

The matter was resolved with an apology.

Although Liu Changcun and his son apologized, it only made the group of ninth graders feel more embarrassed.

It's dishonorable to have an extra copy of a book.

Not to mention it hasn't even been checked yet.

Nearly two years have passed since this incident, and those original ninth-grade students have long since left the middle school.

However, her son's deeds have always been a topic of conversation among the students.

Rumor has it that this stuff starts to taste bad once it's in the mouth of a second person.

In addition, Liu Songyan's hairstyle was already quite unusual.

Liu Songyan, who became a campus legend, was often provoked by those who liked to show off.

The last boy to leave outside the bookstore left a slight impression on Liu Changcun.

Considering his son's reputation at school, he might know something about these guys.

Looking at Liu Songyan, whose eyes were not visible, Liu Changcun, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up and asked.

"Do you know those guys outside just now?"

"know."

He replied with a single sentence.

Although he didn't know why his father asked this, Liu Songyan did see those guys gathered together before entering the bookstore.

The one in the lead was from the class next door.

"Li Yan, from Class 3, I heard his family is in real estate."

Hearing his son emphasize the background, Liu Changcun raised an eyebrow in displeasure.

"There's no need to emphasize this. Even if his family manufactures airplanes, we shouldn't be afraid of trouble."

"..."

Liu Songyan, whose eyes were hidden under his hair, widened his gaze and seemed quite surprised to hear his father's words.

His father used to earnestly advise him to study hard at school. Therefore, Liu Songyan basically endured everything he could at school.

This has led to an increasing number of people coming to provoke him recently.

Li Yan from the neighboring Class 3 was one of them.

He thought that by emphasizing the other party's family background, he would still only receive the father's advice to study hard.

However, to Liu Songyan's surprise, his father would say such a thing.

He fell silent, taken aback, and carefully examined his father through his thick bangs.

We learned about the person who started this whole thing.

As an adult, Liu Changcun didn't have much to say.

It's a problem between children, and if an adult gets involved, it will only escalate the situation.

He looked at the girl in front of him, who was still hanging her head.

It was only then that Liu Changcun remembered he hadn't asked the other person's name.

"Little girl, what's your name?"

"My name is... Chi Jinhe..."

"Xiao Chi, I won't pursue this matter this time."

"..."

She lifted her head slightly, her eyes, still filled with fear and uncertainty, now showing confusion.

"Of course, if something similar happens again, it won't be so easy to resolve."

"..."

Although she was not punished, Chi Jinhe did not feel particularly fortunate.

Back in class, those guys would still come after her.

Fear hovered over the girl's head.

It's like a dark cloud.

Cannot be dissipated.

After finally getting to lunch break, Chi Jinhe didn't even have time to eat lunch before being brought over by Li Yan and his group.

The aroma of the two boxed meals on the cashier's counter was like a large hand teasing the tip of the nose.

This made her already emaciated stomach even more uncomfortable.

Although the matter was resolved, the hidden books were returned to their rightful owners.

However, Liu Changcun, sitting in his seat, could clearly see the girl's still not-so-good complexion.

Looking at Liu Songyan beside her, she saw that he had already picked up his chopsticks again and was about to eat.

She glanced at Chi Jinhe in front of her, who was silent and looking down.

He raised his hand and tapped it on the table.

She gestured for her son, who had just started eating, to stop for a moment.

"You should go back to school with her later, and it would be best to take her to her classroom door."

After speaking, without waiting for Liu Songyan's response, he looked back at Chi Jinhe, who was standing in front of him as if being punished.

"And you, Koike."

He looked at the girl who had jolted awake after he called her name.

"You have to learn to say no. Do whatever other people ask you to do."

"If anyone causes you trouble in the future, just go find my son in the next class."

After speaking, Liu Changcun turned back to look at Liu Songyan.

"You're in Class 4, right?"

"Ah."

"Did you hear that? It's right next to your Class 3."

"..."

Looking at the father and son in front of him, exchanging questions and answers, Chi Jinhe's little brain was not yet able to process so much information.

I don't know if it was nervousness or the temptation of the boxed lunch in front of Liu Songyan.

The girl swallowed hard and stared blankly at what was in front of her.

It wasn't until Liu Changcun spoke again that he came back to his senses.

"Have you got a meal yet?"

"No……"

"Then you can eat this boxed lunch."

The unopened lunchbox that Liu Songyan had packed from the cafeteria was placed in front of Chi Jinhe.

The gaze that had been directed at Liu Changcun slowly shifted downwards.

Her moist eyes blinked.

He hurriedly waved his hand.

"Uncle...I don't need it..."

"No need for what? Class starts soon, do you even have time to eat?"

Pick up the disposable chopsticks and remove the outer packaging in one go.

Liu Changcun, who was handing over the chopsticks, looked at the girl in front of him.

"You need to eat well to have the energy to attend class."

Seeing Chi Jinhe's surprised expression, Liu Changcun smiled this time.

He spoke in a calm tone, soothing the girl's troubled heart.

"Eat without worry, no one will bother you this time."
