Chapter 127: You Don’t Have to Bit the Bread If You’re Late

"I'm late, I'm late..."

Jiang Tianwei ran while muttering to himself, draping the red sportswear of Xiujin Academy over his shoulders and going out while putting on his clothes.

This morning he went to deliver newspapers as usual, and as luck would have it, his bicycle tire burst. It's not a big deal to have a flat tire, but it takes time to repair the tire... How can running to deliver newspapers on foot be faster than riding a bicycle?

Fortunately, the boss was not very strict and did not blame him, but time was definitely wasted.

They said they would gather at eight o'clock, but when Jiang Tianwei got on the bus and looked at his watch, he thought, "Oh my god, isn't it already seven sixty?" He could only leave in a hurry, and at the same time pray that the teacher would not mind being late.

In fact, he was really overthinking this.

If it weren't for the previous incident, Jiang Tianwei might have been recorded as a typical case. But don't forget, at the time of Kamo Shida, wasn't there a teacher who deliberately made things difficult for him? The next day, that person was found shirtless and tied up in his own home, looking like he had been tortured...

Since then, the teachers have all reached a consensus: Don't mess with this gangster. It's not worth it for the salary you get each month.

Today, too, in the park, the teacher took a quick glance and quickly knew whether everyone in the class was present. When he saw that Jiang Tianwei was not there, he felt a pang in his heart and thought something was wrong. He did not dare to call out the names and just hastily divided them into groups and asked everyone to clean up the park.

At this time, Jiang Tianwei was sitting on the subway, and heaved a sigh of relief. Perhaps because he left home late today, the morning rush hour was not that terrible, and he was still able to grab a chair and sit in the park.

"You humans have such a hard time."

Fang Zexia made enviable remarks.

If you think about it carefully, being a ghost is really good. You see, first of all, you don't need to eat or drink water, which can save a lot of living expenses. Then, as a ghost, you can walk through the wall of the house, so you don't need to rent a house, right? And you are not afraid of the dark or the crowd. The only disadvantage is probably that you can't communicate with people, which will make you feel bored...

(However, if the ghost really wants to experience the feeling of being physical, why not just stay in the memory space all year round... find a room that the shadow can't enter, put a computer, laptop, and game console in it... stay there for a year or two...)

As Jiang Tianwei was thinking this, the train had arrived at the station without him noticing.

Of course, he rushed to the park without stopping... However, after walking a few steps, he found that there was a circle of people in the small square at the exit of the station. If other people encountered this situation, they would have to squeeze into the crowd to find out what was going on, but Jiang Tianwei was different...

"Fangze, help me see what happened."

Just let Fang Zexia go. Fang Zexia muttered, "Have you been ordering me around more and more recently?" and flew over obediently... After a while, Fang Zexia's sharp voice came from the crowd: "Come here quickly! My sister is being harassed by a pervert!"

"what?"

Although the conversation between the two was separated by a thick wall of people and the cause and effect could not be made clear, the anxiety in Fang Zexia's tone was directly conveyed to Jiang Tianwei. This young ghost girl, who had always chatted with him in a half-joking tone, today expressed her concerns bluntly.

Jiang Tianwei looked around and found it too difficult to squeeze into the crowd. It was human nature to watch the excitement, especially when the one in the excitement was a pretty girl...

At this moment, the person at the center of the "excitement" - Sumire Yoshizawa, was the most at a loss.

She admitted that she was late today because she was in a rush and spent too much time on independent practice. As the saying goes, "fist never leaves the hand and song never leaves the mouth", any technical thing requires a certain level of proficiency. This is especially true for rhythmic gymnastics.

She was late, so she was in a hurry. She bumped into a man in a suit. Logically, if you apologize, the other person will either forgive you with a smile or be ruthless. In general, it will be over after a few words.

But today was very special. The man noticed at a glance that Sumire Yoshizawa was wearing a very showy school uniform, and he kept pestering her: "Little girl, I heard that a teacher in your school was arrested for committing a crime!" "It seems that he sexually harassed students? That's terrible!" "A student jumped off the building because of this, right? Is there any inside story?"... A series of questions came at her like a machine gun. Sumire Yoshizawa instinctively stepped back and wanted to escape, but her high quality became an obstacle for her at this time.

Fang Ze Jin took a step back, bowed slightly to him, and said: "I don't know any of this. Sorry, I have to go..."

As she was speaking, the man had already grabbed her wrist: "Don't go! Little girl! Tell me! That's already the level of a criminal case! You can't hide it, or you'll suffer the consequences. Keeping it secret is a serious crime!"

This man was talking nonsense. He didn't know whether it was a criminal case or what the consequences of not reporting it would be. But generally speaking, children who don't have much social experience are the easiest to be deceived. You can easily scare them by saying some high-sounding words and deliberately throwing in some scary-sounding nouns.

On the one hand, Sumire Yoshizawa was caught by the wrist and couldn't escape, and on the other hand, she was frightened by the criminal case. She didn't know what to do for a moment.

As the two were struggling, the crowd gathered around, but no one chose to help Sumire Yoshizawa because the risk was too high. For the onlookers, one option was to be in absolute safety and watch the show peacefully.

Another option is to be the first to step forward and help the girl, but this may involve many risks, such as: explaining to the police, being forced to confront the man (which may even develop into violence), and being retaliated against by the man afterwards...

Naturally, no one exported it.

Why do people respect heroes so much? It is because we are not heroes that we respect them so much. Because heroes do what ordinary people cannot do - seeing injustice, they help others.

At this moment, the ghost girl Fang Ze Xia squeezed in from the crowd and shouted loudly...

"Let go of that girl!".

Suddenly, a loud roar erupted from the crowd. This roar did not come from the left, nor from the right, nor from the east, south, west, or north, but from... above? !

In the sky, a young man descended from the sky, with the sun behind him, leaving a thick black shadow. He stomped his feet hard on the ground, making a dull sound. With black hair, black eyes, a flying spirit, and a dignified posture, he looked like a hero.

Chapter 128 The So-Called Hero

"Let go of that girl!".

Jiang Tianwei shouted loudly, descended from the sky and joined the battle.

The crowd was so dense, and Jiang Tianwei was a boxer, not a standing long jumper, so of course he didn't have the superpower to jump over so many people in one leap.

If this wasn't a station and there were no people around, he could summon a demon and fly over there. But now there were so many people here, and it was impossible to summon a demon. If someone took a picture of him and posted it online, it would be no joke. He would definitely be investigated by the big shots.

So, he chose a simple method -

Climb a tree!

Yes, for the sake of urban greening, trees can be seen everywhere. The station is of course no exception. Jiang Tianwei now has the abilities of the two demons. His agile bullfighter strength allows him to climb up to the treetops effortlessly. He jumps with both feet, reaches out to grab the branches, and uses his waist to force himself to flip over to the treetops. "

The chief abbot's cold calculations enabled him to accurately estimate the trajectory of his own jump.

With his courage, carefulness and physical strength, Jiang Tianwei jumped over the treetops and passed the crowd.

He doesn't usually pay much attention to sports, otherwise he would definitely find that whether it is jumping onto a tree trunk in one step or flying over a dense crowd, this athletic ability has begun to rank among the top human levels.

Fortunately, this is not Persia, otherwise he would definitely doubt whether he has princely blood.

The uncle who caught Fang Zejin was shaken all over by Jiang Tianwei's shout. When he saw that the other party was another little kid, he became confident again: "Who are you! What do you know? Come and be a hero!"

"Who cares about you? I just want to know that you are harassing my classmates."

Jiang Tianwei snorted and raised his eyebrows. As he spoke, he took a step forward and reached out to grab the uncle's wrist...

“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!?!”.

Jiang Tianwei's grip was so strong that the uncle felt like his hand bones were about to be crushed. In fear, he couldn't help but let go. Fang Ze Jin quickly pulled her hand away, took a step back, and hid behind Jiang Tianwei.

Seeing him let go, Jiang Tianwei let go too.

"You, you... you, you are showing off too! I will definitely report this to your school! This is an act of violence! I will definitely sue you!"

I don’t know if this uncle was bluffing, or if he really had some connections, or if he simply felt it would be too embarrassing to run away in disgrace, but anyway, he uttered a harsh word.

Jiang Tianwei sneered: "Then come on. So many people are watching today, why not call the police now, check the nearby surveillance cameras and see who has the problem? It doesn't matter, I'm not in a hurry. Come on, call the police now - who among you who is watching has a mobile phone? Please help call the police."

"!"

Seeing Jiang Tianwei's fearless appearance, the uncle knew that his intimidation tactics were ineffective. Looking around, people were already talking about it, and some even took out their phones. It was unclear whether they were taking photos or recording videos or were really going to call the police...

(I came out today to do business... To get the company's loan done, this is my purpose today. I don't have time to talk nonsense with this kind of bastard. Yes! It's not that I'm a coward, but as a member of society, I have to have a sense of responsibility! I have to complete my work first! Humph, it would be cheap of me to argue with this kind of trash! If a dog bites you, can you bite the dog back? Humph!).

In a split second, many thoughts have already emerged in the uncle's mind. His inner thoughts fully demonstrate Lu Xun's foresight and influence as a writer. It is really amazing that we can still see the spirit of spiritual Ah Q even though this is Japan.

"Humph, I'm not as idle as a student! Ah ah! I have to go do business!"

The uncle deliberately spoke loudly, as if he had not lost. It is said that only dogs that have lost their homes bark happily. Jiang Tianwei silently raised his fist and clenched it, making a naked threat. The uncle quickly ran away.

When the people around him saw him running away, they knew there was no more fun to watch, so they sighed for a while and then dispersed. No one cheered for the hero who saved the beautiful girl, and no one booed the uncle who lost his family. All the praise and criticism were hidden in everyone's heart, to comfort their dry souls, to get something to talk about, and then it was over.

"Thank you, Senior. You saved me again."

Fang Ze Jin had obviously been worried all the time, and it was not until now that she realized that she had involuntarily grabbed the corner of Jiang Tianwei's clothes too hard, and traces of bones and veins could be clearly seen through her fair skin.

"Well, that's fine. If I meet a beautiful woman like this, of course I'll come and help her. What if she ends up giving herself to me?"

Jiang Tianwei made a joke casually, not thinking there was anything special about it. According to his expectations, Fang Zejin should respond with a sentence: "So, Senior, are you in this mood?" and then he would say a few words about the crane repaying its gratitude, and then it would be over.

But not long ago, during the debate between Jiang Tianwei and Mr. Maruki that was not a debate, Yoshizawa Sumire inadvertently took his words out of context, and heard half of the sentence "I was bewitched by her"... Today, when she heard Jiang Tianwei say that he would pledge his body to her, her face quickly turned red.

"Hmm. You're quite good at it~"

The ghost Fang Zexia giggled, and her laughter was filled with mockery of someone who was enjoying a good show.

"I say, senior, you actually don't know that the person surrounded is me."

After calming down and thinking about it, Fangze Xun is not a fool. There are so many people surrounding outside. How could Jiang Tianwei see through the crowd and know that the person surrounded inside is a beauty?

(He must be the kind of person who will seek justice when he encounters injustice.)

Yoshizawa Sumire thought so in her heart.

"... Shit! I just realized, are we late!?"

Jiang Tianwei exclaimed, and Fang Zejin was also surprised: "Yes, didn't we say to meet at the park at 8 o'clock?!"

"Then let's go quickly!".

The two ran to the park together...

"That brat embarrassed me so much... One day, I have to kill him..."

The uncle, who had lost face in front of everyone, walked on with gnashing teeth. He was actually overthinking this. It was indeed embarrassing, but these passers-by didn't know him, so rounding it off, it was the same as not embarrassing at all.

If hatred could kill, Jiang Tianwei would have died trillions of times by now.

The uncle walked angrily on the street, heading in the direction he had planned to go today. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of a street, two men in casual shirts suddenly walked towards him from the opposite side. The two men were shoulder to shoulder, and the space between them was not enough for one person to pass through.

The uncle wanted to yell at them to get out of the way, but when he saw that they were taller and stronger than him, he could only give in and dejectedly took a few steps to the side...

However, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. He wanted to keep things quiet, but the other party did not think so. The uncle went left and the other party also went left. He went right and the other party went right... The uncle immediately noticed that something was wrong and quickly turned around and ran away...

As a result, he didn't expect that two men would run up from behind him, shoulder to shoulder, and block his way.

"You, you are..."

However, before he could finish his sentence, the man on the other side stepped forward, covered his mouth, and at the same time, his arm passed through his arm and controlled his body from under his ribs. Two men, one on the left and one on the right, held him. If you didn't look carefully, from the back you would think they were good brothers walking side by side. "

Four men held an old man and dragged him into an alley. No one usually passed by here, and there were no cameras. Naturally, this was a good place to commit a crime.

Behind this small commotion, about ten meters away, a punk girl in a leather jacket full of rivets and an old man in butler's clothes watched the scene coldly.

"How about it, young master, are you satisfied with this way of dealing with him?"

"Yes. It is reasonable that if someone disrespects my teacher, I should teach him a lesson."

The punk girl - Sakurano Ei said coldly.

"Well... from a teacher's perspective? Or from a..."

The old housekeeper's tone was teasing, and it was obvious that the two of them had a very good relationship, so they could joke like that. Sakurano Ei was startled and quickly defended herself, "How come even you are teasing me!"

"Hehehe, of course this is because I care about the young master."

"This is all pointless concern! This is for... yes, this is to save face for the Kawahara Group!"

"Yeah, you are worthy of being the young master. You really understand."

The relaxed conversation between the two people formed a sharp contrast with the muffled groans in the alley that were obviously caused by being held down.

Thirty minutes later, the uncle who was beaten black and blue and could only mutter "Kill you...I will definitely kill you..." formed a sharp inverse ratio to the uncle who was arrogantly threatening others thirty minutes ago.

It's so unpredictable.

Chapter 129 Volunteers

It was already a little after nine o'clock when Yoshizawa Sumire and Jiang Tianwei arrived at Inokashira Park.

Just like all the youth campus-related themes, this special situation: the beautiful girl hangs out with foreign transfer students, the beautiful girl is late, the beautiful girl does something eye-catching... In short, it will trigger a series of disgust among the girls in the class.

It seems that the beautiful girl can't do anything right: If you are too active, they will say you seduce men. If you are not active enough, they will say you are pretentious and arrogant. If you are not good enough, they will say you are incompetent and a pure vase. In short, they will do everything they can to find fault with you.

Girls’ cliques are very scary. Legend has it that at the scariest time, there were six girls in a dormitory and they could create more than ten groups. In the groups, you were either in it or I was not. In other words, there were combinations of both of them.

In particular, Sumire Yoshizawa is not only good-looking, but also because she is a special student of rhythmic gymnastics, she has been specially taken care of by the teacher. Some people even interpreted that the psychological counseling provided by Maruki teacher was specially prepared for Sumire Yoshizawa, just to keep her in shape and prepare for the rhythmic gymnastics competition.

Naturally, it was difficult for Sumire Yoshizawa to fit in with the class, which was why she had eaten lunch at the entrance of the corridor before.

It was no different today. As soon as they saw her coming with Jiang Tianwei, these gossiping girls started whispering.

Needless to say, the teacher's attitude is definitely biased towards Yoshizawa Sumire. Especially now that Shujin Academy has such a big scandal about Kamoshida, the principal has issued a death order that all negative news must be suppressed within a year. How to suppress it? The school is not a gang, it is impossible to shut up everyone. The only feasible way is to constantly create good news about Shujin Academy to cover up the negative news.

Yoshizawa Sumire was also expected to participate in the rhythmic gymnastics competition, so naturally all the teachers knew about it. As for Jiang Tianwei... to be honest, no one dared to mess with him. He was not a big deal as a little fox, but he had the big tiger Kawahara Group behind him, so he had to be afraid.

Since two people were late, it was natural for them to be assigned to the same group. The teacher did not designate any special areas and just let the two of them work together to pick up trash.
