Whoever played dirty tricks is well aware of it, don't act all pitiful," The boy next to her was very dissatisfied, speaking in a confrontational manner.

Mu Rui's face turned pale and then green with anger. He angrily tried to walk over, but at a critical moment, Cheng Jin grabbed his arm. "Let's go," Cheng Jin said. He didn't want to cause trouble. Whether or not he had done anything, he knew it in his heart.

The concept of innocence is something that exists for those who believe in it, but doesn't for those who don't. Ultimately, it all comes down to the influence of human hearts.

Seeing Cheng Jin shake her head slightly, Mu Rui still couldn't swallow her anger. She turned her head and looked at the group of people, saying, "If you don't understand the situation, then don't speak recklessly. You haven't seen anything, so why speculate that it was my friend who pushed it? It's best to leave some room for doubt when speaking."

The group of boys shrugged their shoulders and took a few steps towards this direction, blocking the path they wanted to take.

The sunset cast a gloomy shadow as it was blocked by the towering grandstand, causing the students near the playground to gradually thin out. It was nearing dinner time.

"Speaking nonsense? So what if our classmates got injured and sprained their feet? Are we wrongly accusing him?"

"That is his own problem."

I think most likely some people have ulterior motives."

"Say it again!"

Cheng Jinming could clearly feel that Mu Rui's arm had tightened. He quickly took two steps forward and stood diagonally in front of Mu Rui, facing the group of boys. "I didn't push him, but I do bear some responsibility. I shouldn't have gotten too close. I hope that classmate can recover soon. Please convey my apologies and thanks."

His voice was soft, and there was no significant change in his facial expression.

However, this appearance easily gives people the wrong impression that he lacks sincerity. Those people just sneer lightly, thinking that if someone becomes humble, as a college student, they should still have some dignity.

They didn't respond, just turned around to leave. One person whispered mockingly, "I didn't expect this mysterious tall, rich, and handsome guy to be so weak. It's truly a waste of so many girls' admiration."

As soon as the words were spoken, the man let out a strange cry in the next instant, feeling a sudden hit on his back.

"Fuck your uncle!"

Mo Rui despised people who took advantage of him the most. Not only did they accuse him without knowing the truth, but they also acted self-righteous. Since they couldn't control their own mouths, they shouldn't blame others for taking action against them.

Later, I'm not sure how it developed, but a group of people started fighting together.

The classmates from the on-duty Student Union saw them rushing over and pulled them apart. Cheng Jin was startled. Fighting would lead to punishment, and if Mu Rui got into trouble just like him, it would be his fault. While trying to pull Mu Rui away, Cheng Jin also had to block the punches and kicks from those people.

Fortunately, he had only just made a couple of moves when the student council shouted out from afar. After all, it was broad daylight and surrounded by fellow students, so they didn't dare do anything for real.

Such a situation of gang fighting is the worst. If the school finds out, there is a serious possibility of expulsion.

In the small room of the school clinic, a green potted plant is placed next to the table. The room is very clean, with some instruments arranged in front of the white walls.

"You children, don't know how to be gentle or rough!" The female doctor at the school hospital appeared to be no longer young. When she spoke, her words were clean and crisp, resembling a strict and decisive motherly figure.

She was quickly bandaging Cheng Jin's arm, which was bleeding quite a bit due to the impact.

Boys are also human beings, how could they not feel pain? On Cheng Jin's forehead, a thin layer of sweat emerged, as he sat there, maintaining the posture with his arm outstretched.

The water in the basin was dirtied by blood. Mu Rui, who was nearby, nodded incessantly as he listened to the reprimand, before going to change the water.

"These few days, try to use your right hand less, don't play basketball, and be careful not to get it wet during showers. Rest it for two days."

The female doctor raised her eyebrows and glanced at the two boys.

"Okay, okay, I got it." Mu Rui hurriedly replied on behalf of Cheng Jin, as if he were the mastermind behind the whole thing. However, the reason behind the subsequent collision indeed had a lot to do with his determination to win.

Seeing the boy next to her so sincere and enthusiastic, the female doctor asked, "Are you his roommate?"

"Ah?!" Before Murui could even answer, the female doctor lowered her head and pasted something, interrupting him and saying, "This would be for the best. I assume your dorms all have private bathrooms, right? Remember to help each other during showers. Also, take care of things like hot water."

'......'

Cheng Jin's eyebrows twitched slightly, pursed her lips without saying a word.

Mu Rui initially wanted to argue, but after hearing what the female doctor said, he felt that even if he wasn't roommates with the person in question, he would still be willing to help. So, he didn't say anything. "Mmm, I got it."

"Alright, go to the front counter and get some medicine. Hurry back and rest; the school clinic is about to close."

The female doctor finished giving her instructions and walked out of the small room, carrying her things. Cheng Jin also stood up from the chair, watching Mu Rui who was bending down to tidy up cotton swabs and other medical supplies by the side. He felt a bit conflicted in his heart.

If I recall a little, how did I get to know him well enough to become friends?

Part-time job.

After leaving the school clinic, the sky had turned into a dark shade of blue mixed with hints of darkness. The edges of the buildings around the playground still bore a few remnants of fading red, although they were no longer very noticeable.

"Do you go back now?"

Mu Rui walked beside Cheng Jin, and after taking a few steps, Cheng Jin thought for a moment before speaking, "I'm going out now, I want to go see my mother."

"Oh, by the way, has Aunt's illness been getting better recently?"

"Still the same."

Cheng Jin's voice was soft, as if it had been soaked in water, carrying a refreshing touch. However, when he looked at Mu Rui, he smiled slightly, revealing his slightly white teeth in a rare smile.

Mu Rui's pupils dilated for a moment, as if it was a gift, indicating a closer sense of intimacy.

Being able to get to know someone who others can't get close to and deeply understand them, this feeling is like exploring a new and fascinating world. The human heart is indeed a magical world. Moreover, Cheng Jin is seen as mysterious in everyone's eyes.

Mu Rui secretly thought to himself, he should want to get to know the other person more. At first, there was rejection, but later it turned into familiarity, eliminating the childish hostility and becoming a kind of sympathetic compassion. Perhaps it was because he lived in the sunlight, and Cheng Jin was another world that was different from everyone else.

People are attracted to each other because of their differences.

"Okay, be careful on the way," Murui said as he raised his right hand and waved it, a mischievous glint shining in his eyes, with a slight smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

程锦知道他在提示自己小心手，点点头说了一句。

Cheng Jin knew that he was reminding himself to be careful with his hands, so he nodded and said a word.

"Let's go, let's go back."

Mu Rui stood at the bottom of the steps, watching as he walked further and further away, until he turned out of the school gate. Just as he was about to withdraw his gaze and go back, a familiar female voice came from behind, loud and forceful, "I can't believe it, Mu Rui, when did you start hanging out with him?"

......

Only when she is extremely excited will his younger sister call him by his full name. Obviously, she is very excited.

Mu Rui silently remembered when he saw her. It seems that his relationship with Cheng Jin was all conducted in secret. Ah! Has he gone crazy today? Standing up for Cheng Jin is one thing, but to take care of him proactively, the crucial thing is... it is now known by everyone.
