Last night's battle saw Feiying Gang defeated, and Lin Chuan was recognized as the unique hero. He immediately gained an irreplaceable position in everyone's hearts. Zhou Kai and Huang Bo were also considered heroes in their own right.
Lin Chuan raised his hand high, and the scene immediately quieted down.
"Brothers," Lin Chuan climbed onto the jeep, looked at the densely packed crowd, and smiled, "I hope that from now on, we can all unite as one, and force through any obstacle."
"Unite as one, force through any obstacle!" The crowd shouted in unison.
Just then, Liu Cheng hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd and said, "Brother Chuan, Da Pao has woken up."
"Woken up?" Lin Chuan laughed, "That's great, Huang Bo turned misfortune into a blessing, and Lu Dapao has also woken up, it's really good news."
"Haha..." Zhou Kai was delighted, saying, "Let's have a good meal, we have to eat well today."
"Let's go, have a big feast," Lin Chuan waved his hand.
Dozens of people walked to the nearby large restaurant stall; the boss was thrilled to see so many customers and quickly welcomed the group in. They occupied several large tables upstairs.
At noon, the gang feasted and drank beer and liquor as if it was free.
"Brother Chuan, I admire you," Liu Cheng, drunk and nearly collapsing, held his glass and walked up to Lin Chuan saying, "This drink is definitely for Brother Chuan. In my life, Liu Cheng, I've always been proud and have never admired anyone else. But this time, I particularly admire Brother Chuan. Loyal, values friendships, cherishes brotherhood... Following a big brother like you, I am convinced!"
After saying that, Liu Cheng chugged the two shots of liquor in his glass.
"Wow... good tolerance!" The crowd cheered.
"Alright, I'll drink," Lin Chuan nodded, lifted his glass and drank it all in one gulp. After finishing, Lin Chuan looked seriously at everyone and said, "Brothers, I have a few words for you all, and I ask that you remember them in your hearts."
"Brother Chuan, go ahead!" The crowd shouted loudly.
"Joining Jvyi Gang, bonding with brothers, trust in life and death, help in fortune and disaster, rely on each other in blessings and hardships. We are not forming an underworld group, but to protect the interests we've hardly earned. Please remember, we never bully the public, nor disrupt public order," Lin Chuan stated distinctly.
The scene fell completely silent.
Every word Lin Chuan spoke resonated with everyone's hearts. It was indeed the voice of everyone's hearts, and the very expression they deeply cherished.
Everyone present was relatively young. The youngest around seventeen or eighteen, and the oldest twenty-five.
This age, deeply influenced by "Young and Dangerous," revered brotherhood, idolizing it like kinship. They always treated their own brothers as their own limbs. Today, Lin Chuan's words had them boiling with fervor.
"Good," Zhou Kai spoke loudly: "Brother Chuan, you've spoken our inner thoughts which we couldn't express. I really like these words!"
"I like them too," everyone said.
"Joining Jvyi Gang, bonding brotherly ties, trust in life and death, help through fortunes and disasters, rely on each other in both good and bad times." Zhou Rui softly repeated Lin Chuan's words, underscoring the purest, most noble quality among brothers, and the purest friendship.
Having joined the Jvyi Gang and established brotherly ties, from now on, they are the best brothers, with no suspicion or distrust among them. They could entrust their lives to their brothers, risking their lives to save them in their most difficult times. Sharing both fortune and misfortune together.
Perhaps, this is the most profound description of brotherly affection.
"I especially like a saying from Chairman Mao, 'I won't attack unless I am attacked; if I am attacked, I will certainly counterattack.' If anyone dares to provoke us, under the premise of not breaking the law, we will certainly not be lenient," Lin Chuan declared once more.
"Good!" Zhou Kai nodded, "Whoever dares to touch my brother, I'll be the first to not let them off. Damn it, whoever fucking betrays the Jvyi Gang, I'll also be the first to not let them off."
"Brothers, now that we've embarked on this path, let's have no regrets," Lin Chuan raised his glass, "Share blessings, face hardships together, make money together, and chase girls together."
"Cut it out!" At this moment, Zhou Rui glared at Lin Chuan and said, "We can make money together, but you're not allowed to chase girls together."
Pfft...
Zhou Kai just took a sip and spat it out.
Hahaha...
The crowd burst into a wave of crazy laughter at once.
The brothers of Jvyi Gang had already quietly fostered deep camaraderie under Lin Chuan's influence, planting a seed of brotherhood.
The restaurant owner was thrilled today; in just one afternoon, the place was fully seated, possibly making several thousand dollars in one day, and the turnover might reach tens of thousands. The kitchen staff were almost too busy, forcing the owner to step up and help stir-fry himself.
............
June 7th, the national college entrance examination.
Jiangbei City No.1 Middle School serves as the exam site for Jiangbei City, with nearly one-third of the students from over twenty schools in Jiangbei City taking exams here. Outside the school, more than a dozen traffic police are directing traffic, and many parents personally drive their children here for the exams. There are a lot of parents accompanying the examinees.
'Accompanying the exam' means waiting outside the school for the children to finish their exams.
Early in the morning, Nuo Xiaoxi is eagerly waiting at the school gate, anxiously waiting for someone.
Several days ago, Lin Chuan had already promised to come and accompany her for the exam, but now it's 7:40, and the exam is at 8:00. Lin Chuan has not yet arrived. This made Nuo Xiaoxi anxious. She kept checking her phone, wanting to call Lin Chuan, but she was afraid he was busy with something important, so she hesitated to call.
Nuo Xiaoxi decided in her heart that if Lin Chuan hadn't arrived by 7:45, she would enter the exam room on her own. It takes five minutes to get from the main entrance to the exam room, and candidates are required to enter the exam room 15 minutes early to prepare. If they are 15 minutes late, they will lose the qualification to take the exam.
Time is slipping away by the second.
Just as it was about to hit 7:45, Nuo Xiaoxi was thrilled to see Lin Chuan running fast towards her.
"Brother Lin, I'm here!" Nuo Xiaoxi, dressed in the clothes bought by Lin Chuan—a pink dress, looking very beautiful. Moreover, Nuo Xiaoxi is already so beautiful, with this dress, she looked even more flawless.
"I'm here, I'm here." Lin Chuan gasped for breath, holding a piece of chocolate in his hand, saying, "Here, take this. I heard that chocolate can boost energy and also help you stay alert. I ran a long way to buy it."
"Ah?" Nuo Xiaoxi was stunned, looking down at the chocolate in her palm, she said awkwardly, "Brother Lin, you ran so far just to buy me chocolate?"
"Yeah." Lin Chuan nodded, saying, "I saw other parents buying it, so I hurried to buy some too, but that store had none left, so I went elsewhere."
"Thank you, Brother Lin!" Nuo Xiaoxi was excited, kissed Lin Chuan on the cheek, and then dashed towards the campus.
Lin Chuan was stunned for a moment, then he laughed happily and touched his cheek.
Nuo Xiaoxi looked back at Lin Chuan while running; her face was already blushing deeply.
The morning examination lasted two hours.
The process of accompanying the exam is a very agonizing one, and the weather is somewhat hot. Many parents stand at the school entrance, talking quietly. There are police and security guards at the door. They prohibit loud talking to avoid disrupting the performance of the examinees.
Two hours later, the school's entrance restrictions were lifted.
Soon, all the examinees came out from the classrooms, the crowd dense like ants. Lin Chuan stood at the entrance, craning his neck, tiptoeing and trying to spot Nuo Xiaoxi in the crowd. Capturing a face among so many people is not something an ordinary person can do. It requires not only quick neural responses but also a strong ability to capture with the eyes.
Lin Chuan is trained; otherwise, how could he possibly find the target person at the fastest speed in such a dense crowd?
Moreover, Nuo Xiaoxi is a very familiar face. But when on a mission, the target person might be someone Lin Chuan is seeing for the first time. This demands a strong memory for physical features.
Quickly, Lin Chuan captured the figure of Nuo Xiaoxi.
This girl was also tiptoeing looking towards the school gate, her face anxious, especially upon seeing so many parents blocking the gate, she was even more uncertain about finding Lin Chuan. She quickly took out her phone, ready to call Lin Chuan to arrange a place to meet.
"Xiaoxi." Lin Chuan hurriedly squeezed in and waved to Nuo Xiaoxi.
"Oh, Brother Lin!" Nuo Xiaoxi was overjoyed.
Lin Chuan quickly grabbed Nuo Xiaoxi's hand and headed outside, protecting her with his arms as they pushed through the crowd.
"How did the exam go?" Lin Chuan asked.
"Felt pretty good," Nuo Xiaoxi giggled. "The essay was the part I'm most satisfied with."
"Oh?" Lin Chuan asked curiously, "What was the essay topic?"
"About happiness," Nuo Xiaoxi bit her red lip, saying, "It was an open-ended essay question, and I expressed my inner feelings. I believe I will score high marks."
"That's good." Lin Chuan nodded, saying, "What's the exam this afternoon?"
"English," Nuo Xiaoxi chuckled. "Tomorrow morning is math, and the afternoon is for the science comprehensive."
"Let's go, let's have lunch," Lin Chuan smiled. "I've booked lunch at the nearby Bossideng Hotel for a few days."
"Ah?" Nuo Xiaoxi was startled, asking, "Why?"
"Can't go back to cook, otherwise it would affect your rest and exams," Lin Chuan smiled. "Have lunch and then take a nap at the hotel. It's hot at noon, and there's no air conditioning at home. The hotel is more comfortable. You will have more energy for the exam in the afternoon, right?"
"Thank you, Brother Lin." Nuo Xiaoxi nodded, asking, "Brother Lin, will you accompany me at lunch?"
