Chapter 350: The Soft-Waisted Educated Youth Is Spoiled Rotten by His Boyfriend 13

Mo Zhinan was still continuing.

"That doctor refused to admit his misdiagnosis, saying my mother deliberately misled him, and the hospital had no intention of letting him go; Father endured the pain, pulled many strings, even lost his job, yet the doctor still wasn't punished."

"Finally... finally my father flew into a rage, found an opportunity and beat that doctor to death, and he himself ended up in prison."

He still remembers that the morning his father left, he saw him off to school with a calm breeze, and the last thing he said was: Sorry.

Father may not have been a good, responsible dad to him, but he was definitely a good husband.

He doesn't blame Father.

"That doctor is Zhang Zhishuai's uncle."

After Mo Zhinan finished speaking, a warmth touched his cheek; Jin Chen gently wiped the tear from the corner of his eye, the motion extremely gentle.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have made you talk about these sad things."

He shook his head, unconsciously rubbing his palm, and said, "It's not your fault; I just wanted to say it myself."

"Is Zhang Zhishuai bullying you like this just because he knows about this?"

"Maybe. I only found out after going to the countryside that his uncle was that doctor back then."

Mo Zhinan's voice still trembled with tears, sounding pitiful, which made Jin Chen feel a sour ache in his heart; he unconsciously pulled the person closer to himself, almost holding him in his arms.

【0731, can you find out what happened to Zhinan before he went to the countryside at the beginning of the year?】

Jin Chen suddenly remembered that, according to policy, families with only one child didn't have to go to the countryside; moreover, Zhinan's family now only had him, and it just so happened that he and Zhang Zhishuai were assigned to the same village.

Recalling the description of Zhang Zhishuai's family connections in the original plot, he couldn't help but keep an extra eye out.

【I'll try my best; at this time the internet had just begun to be used in cities, so maybe I can find something.】

0731 was also not careless, immediately starting to track and investigate.

"Don't be afraid, he won't be able to bully you anymore."

Jin Chen cupped his face with one hand, his voice low and expression sincere, saying, "I will protect you."

"Mm."

Mo Zhinan nodded, forcing a smile.

He faintly felt that even the best of friends couldn't do this, but since they had just become adults less than two years ago, emotionally they were basically a blank slate, so they wouldn't even think in that direction.

Jin Chen also wasn't in a hurry at all; after all, there was plenty of time, and in this world's era, taking things step by step was best.

"Is this something Zhinan wove himself?"

He then picked up a blue cord with a little bell attached; one could see the weaving wasn't very skilled, but it was made with great care.

"Mm, Mother taught me to weave when I was little, but I'm clumsy and couldn't learn."

"I really like this kind of cord; could you help me weave one too?"

Jin Chen seemed quite interested in it; as he put it back, he happened to lift his gaze and pleaded with Mo Zhinan.

"Do you like this?" Mo Zhinan was a bit surprised, "You're so rich, you could go outside and buy a nicer cord."

The money spent on him these past two days would be enough for Jin Chen to buy a gold bracelet.

"I don't like store-bought ones; I just like the ones you weave yourself."

Jin Chen, however, refused; he wrapped his arm again around his slender waist, his warm palm covering it, which made Mo Zhinan's breath hitch for a moment and his waist soften a little, so he quickly reached out to push it away.

"All right, all right, I'll help you weave it."

"Then I'll have Xiao Liu go to town this afternoon to buy some rope and bring it back; this money will be considered payment for your work weaving the cord."

Jin Chen took out fifteen yuan and handed it to Mo Zhinan.

Mo Zhinan: "……" He looked dubiously at the fifteen yuan in his hand.

0731: 【……Host, you're cheating.】

【Just say whether it's a purchase or not; it's merely a pre-order.】

"Why... are you giving me so much money?"

Jin Chen's lips curled slightly, his deep eyes fixed on the youth before him.

"Weaving red cords is tiring, and although I bought a lot of things yesterday, I still don't know what else you need; it would be better to bring you to town next time and let you buy whatever you need."

He didn't give him a chance to argue, taking Mo Zhinan's palm in his hand and saying, "What I give you, I won't take back."

"Well... okay then."

Mo Zhinan thought to himself, next time when he goes to town with Jin Chen, he'll also buy something for him.

He didn't notice at all that, in just a few short words, Jin Chen had already arranged their next outing together.

【Congratulations, Host, on completing the timed task; points +5!】

【Stingy.】

【……Host!】

Jin Chen stayed there until nearly noon, then cooked lunch for Mo Zhinan before heading home, since he still had to help his maternal uncle with some work in the afternoon.

On the way back, he suddenly glanced at a sack of rice stalks on the ground; perhaps it had been blown there by the wind from someone's house, but it didn't matter, so he didn't bother to look for it.

He suddenly had a wicked thought.

【0731, where is Zhang Zhishuai now?】

【The village chief kept giving him the runaround, making him so angry he went back to the big dormitory where the educated youths lived.】

0731 was very puzzled. 【Why aren't you going home to eat at this time, and what do you want with him?】

【Just bored, looking to have some fun with him.】

Jin Chen chuckled, picked up the sack, folded it neatly, and headed toward the educated youths' dormitory.

Ten minutes later, Jin Chen hid in the bushes, looking toward the dormitory courtyard where Zhang Zhishuai was sulking, a hint of mischievous amusement appearing on his lips.

He casually picked up a small stone and threw it into the courtyard; it happened to hit the glass window, producing a noticeable cracking sound.

"Who!"

Zhang Zhishuai immediately stood up and looked outside the courtyard.

At this time everyone was eating in the canteen, there were hardly any people in the courtyard, Zhang Zhishuai thought it was a thief coming to steal, and immediately ran out to check.

Just as he stepped out of the Main Gate, he heard a sound from the nearby thicket, which made him even more certain of his guess, and he immediately ran toward the thicket.

Who would have thought that the next second his vision went black, dust and debris came flying at him, his whole body was shoved into a sack, and his eyes felt terrible.

He had just prepared to struggle when his stomach was hit with a heavy punch, followed immediately by an relentless barrage of attacks that left Zhang Zhishuai no chance to fight back.

To avoid arousing the villagers' suspicion, Jin Chen even went to great lengths to change his striking method, leaving severe bruises wherever he hit.

In the end, Zhang Zhishuai's stomach and back had no uninjured flesh left, and his face had taken several punches as well.

Only then did Jin Chen stop, casually picking up a dry vine from the ground, tying it around the sack, and tossing the person into the thicket like trash before walking away.

0731 exclaimed in amazement, 【Host, you're truly bold beyond measure.】

【……When you have time, look up an idiom dictionary and study.】

Jin Chen took the small path when he came, and the same when he returned; in this era there was no surveillance, so no one knew he had come here today.
