Chapter 507: School Bully Alpha Gets Sanctioned Again! 13
Thus a certain Jiang bro who claimed his body was top-notch raised his hand and saw his forearm covered in abrasions.
Jiang Xun: ""
He met Jin Chen's gaze, righteous and confident, "It doesn't hurt at all, I didn't even notice!"
Jin Chen's usually slightly aloof tone carried indulgence.
"Should I take you to the hospital, or go buy medicine and treat you?"
"Treat it yourself!" Jiang Xun immediately chose the latter; he didn't want to go to the hospital over such a minor thing—it didn't fit the identity of a mighty Alpha at all!
"Then just wait here obediently."
Jin Chen stood up, retracting all his pheromones.
Jiang Xun's heart suddenly went empty, and he instinctively grabbed Jin Chen's arm.
Both were stunned.
Jin Chen lowered his head to glance, "Scared?"
"I'm not scared! Only others should be scared of me."
Jiang Xun pulled his hand back belatedly, feeling as if he'd become an Omega just from catching a whiff of pleasant pheromones, getting lost in it.
Totally freaky.
"Don't wander off, or you won't be able to find anyone later."
Jin Chen ruffled the boy's drooping head, then left to buy medicine for him.
Watching Jin Chen's retreating back, Jiang Xun cupped his face in both hands and murmured.
"Really freaky, what's wrong with me?"
Not wanting to fight Jin Chen was fine, but he actually had a bit of dependence.
He sat quietly for a while, then realized his skateboard was still left at the alley entrance, unpicked.
Remembering Jin Chen's reminder, Jiang Xun sent him a message.
"I'll go to that spot just now to get my skateboard."
Jin Chen replied quickly.
"Wait for me to come back and bring it to you."
"Be good, don't wander off; your glands aren't stable yet."
Jiang Xun's fingertips trembled slightly, and after a while he replied with a fist emoji.
At least he didn't go alone.
Although he really didn't want to obey, what Jin Chen said made sense.
Jin Chen replied with another 'patting the lion head' expression, super cute; Jiang Xun searched all his favorites and couldn't find anything cuter.
"Gee, why are you being so good to me?"
Jiang Xun worried and muttered, a boy who'd never experienced romance would feel this friendship was much heavier than others.
Weighty, it lingered in his heart, hard to forget.
Jin Chen returned ten minutes later, having quickened his pace and cut the distance in half.
Seeing Jin Chen return on a skateboard, Jiang Xun's eyes lit up involuntarily.
"You can skate too!" He didn't blame Jin Chen for stepping on his most precious skateboard at all.
"I learned before, but don't skate often."
Jin Chen stepped onto the front, lifted it up, and took out the ointment and disinfecting iodine from the plastic bag.
"Give me your hand."
"Be gentle..." Jiang Xun was actually very afraid of pain, but feeling embarrassed about it, he had never told anyone.
"It won't hurt much; I got the mild-stimulant ointment."
Jin Chen's tone softened; he carefully lowered his eyes to clean the wound, his movements even more gentle and meticulous.
Jiang Xun felt his heart, which had just barely calmed down, start pounding loudly again.
"Jin Chen... I have a question for you."
"Hmm, what is it?"
"How did you happen to run into me today? Do you live nearby?"
Jin Chen lowered his eyes, his expression unchanged.
"I live in Yuhua Ting, not far from here; I came out today to buy supplies."
The biggest stationery mall is indeed right outside the park.
Jiang Xun gave an acknowledging nod.
Not long after, he started looking for a new topic.
"Didn't I give you plenty of reference books yesterday? Why do you need to buy more?"
"Can you handle it?"
"I bought them for you." Jin Chen finished applying the medicine, wiped his hands with a tissue, lifted his head, and spoke teasingly.
"Ah...?"
"Those few books are too basic for you to understand; your half-understanding in class is also due to weak foundations. I plan to pick two that suit you."
Hearing Jin Chen's explanation, Jiang Xun felt it was no less than hearing a devil's voice from hell.
"You have such a ruthless heart..." Jiang Xun's voice trembled.
"If you don't improve in the monthly exam, you get no toys."
Jin Chen spoke earnestly: "You're very smart; you'll surely improve quickly."
Jiang Xun had never been coaxed like this before.
His strict beta Mother and even stricter Omega older brother used to make him study with a bamboo stick, otherwise it was bamboo strips stir-fried with meat.
Now he has simply given up supervising his studies.
He turned away awkwardly, lowering his sleeve.
"If you promise to keep your word, I'll improve by ten ranks just to show you!"
"I will definitely keep my word."
Jin Chen hooked his little finger.
The two smiled at each other.
Jin Chen: "Shall I take you to the mall to pick out books?"
He glanced at his skateboard, Jiang Xun jumped on it, glided a few steps, turned his head to look windward at Jin Chen, and shouted, "Hurry up and follow!"
The boy's smile was bright, outshining everything.
Jin Chen quickly caught up.
On weekends, the stationery mall is crowded, mostly with students from various schools.
Jin Chen seemed afraid he would act recklessly and hurt that arm again, so after entering he kept holding his hand, never letting go.
Jiang Xun initially felt a bit odd, but gradually got used to it.
There are so many people here that nobody knows anyone.
"Is it really necessary to pick so many books?" he looked horrified as Jin Chen took them one by one, estimating there were already at least five books.
"These are all junior-to-senior high transition guides; there aren't many questions inside."
Jin Chen flipped it open to show him: "One subject per book; your English is already excellent, so I've separately organized materials for math and language."
"I don't think I can finish them all in a month."
Jiang Xun clutched his chest and shook his head, "Good buddy, just take fewer."
I don't know which part of that sentence touched Jin Chen; his eyebrows twitched slightly and he took another book.
Jiang Xun's fur stood on end, "Jin Chen!"
"Alright, don't get worked up."
Jin Chen held the books in one hand, pulling him along as he walked forward, "I'll mark the key points you need to study; you don't need the whole book."
"That's more or less fine..."
Jiang Xun was still basically visiting the mall this seriously for the first time; everything felt novel, and his gaze finally settled on a basketball.
He hurriedly shook Jin Chen's hand, "You keep buying books; I'm going to get a basketball!"
"Will you play basketball?"
Jin Chen replied, "A little; go buy it."
【Host, the main character's lover is also there, seemingly picking out a birthday gift for someone.】
0731 was eating La Tiao while watching the screen.
Jin Chen's steps paused slightly, but he still turned and followed.
Jiang Xun indeed ran into Zhou Fangshu.
His gaze paused for a moment then shifted away; he completely ignored that person, scanning the wall-full of basketballs.
The salesperson, seeing him examine them seriously, came over to ask.
"Hello, may I ask what purpose you need the basketball for?"
"For myself, and also one to give as a gift."
Upon hearing the words "to give," Zhou Fangshu wondered what he was thinking, then suddenly said, "Jiang Xun, are you giving it to Shen Can?"
Jiang Xun's body stiffened, his gaze suddenly locked onto Zhou Fangshu.
"Do you know him?"
