Chapter 005: Eggs in the Eighties

  A wise man once said, "People born in the 60s", "We were born in the 70s" and "Eggs laid in the 80s". Three decades, three different generations of people. Some say that only those who lack confidence will always categorize people into small circles and then crawl inside themselves, hoping to gain support within the circle.

  People born in the 1960s are idealists of that era, they have experienced hardships, suffered setbacks, lacked knowledge, and undergone cruel baptisms, some were even sent to rural areas as educated youth, extremely unfortunate.

  People born in the 70s are more down-to-earth, often recalling memories of outdoor movies, fiddling with striped pants and melancholic eyes during their flowery youth, but exuding humor and absurdity like Wei Xiaobao. Even after a few cups of wine, they would shed tears and lament the helplessness of their generation.

  Is human fate really related to the year of birth?

  What about those born in the 80s then? Rebellious? Overly competitive? Unconventional? Or many more others?

  Qiu Yuemin, born in 1982, stood with his hands clasped behind him, leaning forward against the handrail of the corridor outside the classroom. In front of him was a magnificent and solemn building, which had five floors, each with many large and small black dots moving back and forth. All this seemed so natural, just like the four seasons changing in a year - spring, summer, autumn and winter. This building was exactly the teaching building A area corresponding to the one where Qiu Yuemin was located.

  Qiu Yuemin's gaze changed from observation to admiration, he stretched his waist and sighed in his heart: "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain"

  Not far from Qiu Yue's position, a figure with an upper body dressed in light yellow casual wear and a pair of loose-fitting pants, with a small, neat parting on his head. What was strange was that he held an old-fashioned military binoculars in his hand, gazing at the opposite side.

  Qiu Yue Min was about to approach him when he suddenly appeared in his line of sight, only to be blocked by Zhang Yang.

  Zhang Yang's eyes were fixed on Qiu Yuemin, as if hinting at something. He stretched out his index finger and placed it in front of his mouth, saying softly: "Yuemin, don't disturb him, let him watch for a while."

  Qiu Yue Min suddenly understood and nodded, then turned around and leaned lazily against the armrest.

  Zhang Yang looked back and continued: "Ah, Qin Tian is indeed a sentimental person."

  Qiu Yuemin also took a glance at Qin Tian, looking at his sorrowful eyes, and felt a chill in his heart. "Zhang Yang, I really don't know what's going on in Qin Tian's mind. You say you like someone, just go and tell them, the worst that can happen is being rejected. But he's been staring foolishly for almost a year now, and others don't even know who he is. Qin Tian, you're so silly!"

  Zhang Yang smiled lightly, as if he was indeed an old hand, and said calmly: "Everyone has their own way of expressing themselves. Maybe Qin Tian is the giving type."

  Qiu Yuemin's eyes rolled slightly downward and he said softly, "I'm telling you, Zhang Yang, why don't we help him?"

  "How can I help?"

  "Although there's no solution for now, at least let them get to know each other first!"

  Zhang Yang nodded in agreement, thinking what was said made sense.

  Zhang Yang paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and said seriously: "Yue Min, I heard from my friends in District A that the kid we beat up at noon had his nose bridge broken, but now he's fine. However, he made a fierce statement in class, saying it wouldn't end like this."

  Qiu Yuemin just smiled lightly, his hand on Zhang Yang's shoulder, and said: "Zhang Yang, among the ten people we've beaten up, nine of them have said something like this. What was the result? Who didn't become like a mouse seeing a cat afterwards? People like these are all talk."

  Zhang Yang was amused by Qiu Yue's words and smiled: "It's still better to be careful, these days many mice can eat cats."

  "No big deal, even if he really comes, we three brothers will be together, and no one can defeat us!"

  "Right! For the victory of the revolution, we are willing to die!" Zhang Yang clenched his fist and placed it on his chest.

  "For the perfect construction of socialist modernization, we will bravely move forward and never retreat!" Qiu Yue Min also showed an extremely sincere gaze.

  Qin Tian suddenly appeared and came over from behind, placing his hands on the shoulders of the two men, saying: "For the infinite bright future of our three brothers, fire at me!"

  "Go! It's not that serious!" Qiu Yuemin and Zhang Yang simultaneously pushed Qin Tian's head with their hands.

  "Hahaha..." The three of them burst out laughing together.

  Although Qin Tian was just joking, Qiu Yuemin and Zhang Yang both knew very well that Qin Tian was a person who attached great importance to brotherly love. In the years since they got to know each other, whenever Qiu Yuemin and Zhang Yang needed help, Qin Tian never hesitated, and when he was unintentionally hurt by them, he just laughed it off. His feelings about brotherly love were very subtle.

  Zhang Yang, with a lingering smile on his face, said to Qiu Yuemin: "Yuemin, the game room we often play at has just added a new machine for Fist of Legend 99. Let's go play after school, it's brand new and will definitely be cool!"

  Qin Tian also nodded and said, "Right! Yue Min, after you won against me last time, I haven't had a chance to get revenge yet. Today, let's play for a while! The students there are fierce, they make the new equipment become outdated in just a few days. Let's go enjoy the feeling of using new equipment first!"

  Qiu Yuemin fell silent for a moment, then shook his head and said lightly: "I won't go today, I'm not feeling well, I want to sleep."

  Zhang Yang and Qin Tian exchanged a glance. They knew that since Qiu Yuemin said he wasn't going, there must be his reason for it. In the end, they could only regret it.

  ……

  Qiu Yuemin walked out of the school gate, looked at the gradually darkening sky, and suddenly felt even more strongly that he really wanted to sleep. After all, last night's experience under the bed was not pleasant.

  But as he thought about it, the embarrassing scene on Li Jing's body floated up. He remembered Zhang Yang grabbing his hand and putting it on Li Jing's body, and Qiu Yuemin's lower body, which was in its developmental stage, suddenly pitched a small tent. Qiu Yuemin felt a wave of embarrassment, but the feeling in his heart was so beautiful.

  Gradually, Qiu Yue's mind flashed, Zhang Yang suddenly became very fierce and stretched his hand into Li Jing's skirt. The next moment, Li Jing let out a loud cry, which instantly shocked Qiu Yue awake.

  Qiu Yuemin opened his blurry eyes, blinked hard and exclaimed in surprise: "No way! Did I fall asleep on the road?"

  Beep beep beep!

  Drip, drip, drip!

  Qiu Yuemin had not yet come to his senses when the sound of discordant horns erupted around him, and it was only then that he realized he was standing in the middle of the street. The horn honking continued unabated, with even coarse curses emanating from within: "You stinky little brat, get out of here fast, or you're asking for death!"

  Qiu Yuemin quickened his pace, stepped onto the sidewalk, and spat at a speeding car. He shouted: "A broken-down car is nothing! Just wait till I'm rich, I'll buy seven different colored Mercedes-Benz cars, one for each day of the week!"

  After scolding, the appearance of Zhang Yang and Li Jing floated in his mind again. He remembered the scene where Zhang Yang was about to go up to Li Jing last night, and Qiu Yuemin couldn't help but shiver violently in this hot weather, thinking back, he was terrified!

  Just as Qiu Yue Min completely jumped out of this matter, he saw a flower shop in front of him, where a man and a woman were sneaking behind a young woman, slowly entering. The woman was wearing black clothes, and the man cast a strange gaze at her.

  Judging from the young woman's attire and the fresh flowers in her hands, she should be a shop assistant of this store.

  Out of curiosity, Qiu Yue Min also slowly walked towards the flower shop, constantly observing.

  Just as Qiu Yue Min was not far from the flower shop, the man who had just entered held a large bouquet of flowers and walked out to meet him, with a pace that was neither fast nor slow, looking like he had just bought the flowers.

  But just as the man had brushed past Qiu Yue Min, the young female shop assistant rushed out wearing a yellow apron and anxiously cried: "Sir, you haven't paid yet!"

  When the female shop assistant said this, Qiu Yuemin frowned and looked at the man, while the man also stopped in his tracks and stood there honestly.

  The man stopped, and the female shop assistant let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had really forgotten to pay, not intentionally trying to cheat.

  But just then, the black-clad woman who had entered with the man at the beginning suddenly rushed out of the flower shop. Without looking at anyone, she frantically ran to the left side of the flower shop.

  At the same time, the man who had stopped in his tracks with a bouquet of flowers was startled and suddenly threw the flowers backward, quickly running away into the distance.

  The female shop assistant suddenly looked at the fleeing woman and immediately reacted, shouting: "Thief! Catch the thief! My bag!"

  A clever trick to lure the tiger away from its mountain!

  The female shop assistant had not finished speaking, and Qiu Yuemin was already chasing after the black-clad woman. The female shop assistant looked at Qiu Yuemin inexplicably again, muttering to herself: "Where...where did this kid come from?" As she spoke, she also followed in pursuit.

  "Halt!" Qiu Yuemin was ready and chased after the black-clad woman as soon as she made a run for it. The distance between them wasn't very far apart.

  Qiu Yuemin was not yet eighteen years old, but he had matured early and looked almost like an adult. Compared to the fleeing woman, Qiu Yuemin, who won prizes at the annual sports meet every year, naturally had the upper hand.

  The woman in black had just reached the first corner when Qiu Yuemin pounced on her and grabbed the strap of her bag. The woman in black was frightened, fiercely pulling the bag, but she was no match for Qiu Yuemin's strength. Meanwhile, Qiu Yuemin stretched out his other hand to grab the woman's body.

  The woman in black fled with the money, loosening her grip on the bag and running into the alley. Qiu Yuemin lost his balance and retreated a few steps, seeing the female store clerk chasing after him from behind, he threw the bag in her direction. Then he shouted forward: "Damn it, stop!"

  The woman in black thought she had lost her bag and was relieved, but unexpectedly, she encountered a nosy parker who ran quite fast. The woman in black sighed inwardly, blaming herself for not checking the almanac today and choosing an unlucky day to act.

  Very soon, just ahead is the second turn, Qiu Yue Min chased while looking around, thinking that this road he had walked before, after turning forward was a smaller alley, from which to go out, it would be on the main street. Only this small alley wasn't very convenient, and there were few passersby. Because of this, many couples in school often came to this place, doing what they loved to do, only they wouldn't have a second time after going once, because some hooligans who robbed students also had their eyes on this place.

  "Halt!"

  Just as the woman in black was about to turn a corner, Qiu Yuemin let out a confident hum, thinking that he could catch her during the deceleration period of the turn. However, the woman in black was also clever and made a fake move at the turn, causing Qiu Yuemin to pounce on nothing. When Qiu Yuemin lifted his head again, the woman in black had run off not far away.

  Just as Qiu Yue Min looked up, six or seven young men suddenly appeared between him and the woman in black. The young men saw Qiu Yue Min and each of them showed hostile eyes, as if they had been waiting for him on purpose.

  Qiu Yuemin felt the momentum and stopped chasing the woman in black, turning to look at the crowd walking towards him. As soon as he looked, Qiu Yuemin was shocked. Wasn't this Zhang Jian, who had been beaten up by himself at noon? His nose still had a band-aid on it.

  Zhang Jian pulled a face, pointed at Qiu Yuemin with his finger, and then respectfully said to the person beside him who was slightly taller, with a bundle of golden hair on his forehead, wearing all black clothes, and having an elegant demeanor: "Mouse brother, it's him, it's this little brat who did it!"
