Chapter 346: Cold War

Jin Nian was very angry, but she was not good at arguing. She turned around and walked in the opposite direction of Lu An’s house.
On the way, Jin Nian became angrier and angrier as she thought about it.
She was just helping out of kindness, but she didn’t expect to quarrel with Lu An over a small matter.
The next day when they went to school, they did not walk together like before. Jin Nian listened to Lu An’s sound of leaving the house. She left the house only ten minutes later.
When they arrived at school, the two of them treated each other like air.
The high school was only a small place. Their classrooms were not far apart. It could be said that they would see each other every day. In the past, when Lu An passed by Jin Nian’s classroom and saw her in the corridor, he would pull her ponytail gently.
Most of the time, during lunch in the cafeteria, Jin Nian deliberately picked up the dishes that suited her appetite from Lu An’s plate.
The two of them got along very normally as if they were quarrelsome lovers. Their classmates also knew that they had a good relationship, but they did not talk when they met recently. They did not eat together at noon either as if they were strangers.
As time passed, Teacher Tan also realized that there was a problem between Jin Nian and Lu An. Teacher Tan had never interfered in the matter of Jin Nian making friends. In her opinion, it was normal for teenagers to quarrel. Even if she wanted to interfere, the children might not appreciate it.
Moreover, the two children had a knot in their hearts. Even if they were forced to reconcile, they would still be unhappy.
Later on, something happened that became the key point for the two of them to reconcile. Lu An was probably the hero who saved the damsel in distress.
At that time, Jin Nian didn’t think that she was in the wrong, and Lu An didn’t think that he was in the wrong either. He could only blame Jin Nian for being a blockhead. Why did she have to hand over the love letter to someone else?
Every time Lu An thought of that scene, he felt like he was going to be angered to death by Jin Nian.
On the first day of the fight, Lu An had been hanging around in front of Jin Nian. At that time, he thought that as long as Jin Nian apologized to him, he would immediately forgive her.
Their class was in the same corridor. Lu An deliberately walked past Jin Nian’s classroom with the basketball in his arms and then walked back. Jin Nian wasn’t standing in the corridor. She was doing her homework in the classroom. Therefore, Lu An walked into Jin Nian’s classroom casually and sat in the back row of the male students. He made an appointment with the boys in Jin Nian’s class who loved to play basketball.
In fact, Lu An didn’t intend to play basketball. He was just a childish person who wanted to take the opportunity to test Jin Nian.
Lu An’s gaze never left Jin Nian until the bell rang. However, from the beginning to the end, Jin Nian only faced Lu An with her back. When she heard his voice, she still did not turn around.
It was the same during class exercises. When they lined up to go to the field, Lu An deliberately walked to Jin Nian and bumped into her shoulder. She ignored him as if she didn’t feel anything.
Their houses were in different directions. The reason why they were together after school was that Lu An went to Jin Nian’s house to freeload.
The Lu family’s villa was big, but it was cold and lifeless. After his grandmother passed away and his mother remarried, he seemed only to treat that house as a hotel.
During the cold war, Lu An didn’t go to Jin Nian’s house for dinner again. Teacher Tan didn’t say anything, but Old Jin asked Jin Nian, “Has Lu An not been here for a while? Why? Did the two of you quarrel again?”
The word “again” was used very appropriately. Jin Nian and Lu An’s relationship was like that of brother and sister ever since they were young, but quarreling was inevitable.
Jin Nian lowered her head and ate her food without looking up. Old Jin knew that he was asking nonsense.
Spring passed quickly, and the weather was getting warmer.
There were several routes for Jin Nian to go home from school. If she was not in a hurry, she would usually take the main road because it was spacious. There were also many stalls along the road to buy snacks, toys, hair clips, and so on. She liked to shop on this street the most.
Occasionally, Jin Nian would take an alley, cross the alley, and walk to the end. Jin Nian lived across the road. However, this small alley had always been a place where young people gathered. They would not do bad things openly in broad daylight. At most, it would make people feel disgusted.
That day Jin Nian had left school a little late after duty. Seeing that the sky was dark, she thought that taking the alley would be faster to get home, so she chose this road. Unfortunately, she met a group of hooligans that day. She saw them beating people up with knives in their hands. A boy of about 16 or 17 years old was sitting on the ground. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen. There was also blood on the ground. It was a shocking sight.
There were a total of four people at the scene. Three boys were beating up another boy..
