Just in Time Chapter 83

Translated by Sylver (ko-fi)


Chapter 83 Second Year of High School


Yun Fang had stayed at home for a day before returning to Beijing to continue his classes. Huang Chu was busy with a new outdoor equipment store he had opened in collaboration with Yun Fang. Yi Chenliang went to help, running errands with Huang Chu every day, and managed to get himself tanned again.


Two more people were hired at the milk tea shop, and Sister Zhao was promoted to store manager. Since Huang Chu was often not at the law firm, she also had to help oversee it. Despite only having a junior high school education, Sister Zhao was surprisingly able to handle clients who came looking for Huang Chu.


“I had nothing to do, and there were books at Lawyer Huang’s place, so I read a bit,” Sister Zhao said modestly, holding Xiaoxiao. “Xiaoxiao likes to listen, so I read to her.”


Yi Chenliang sympathetically patted Zhao Xiaoxiao’s head. While other children were playing with toys and listening to fairy tales, she was being read legal cases by her mother and her unscrupulous uncle.


“You will definitely be a law-abiding citizen in the future,” Yi Chenliang said, seeing Xiaoxiao constantly reaching out to him, he picked her up. “Zhao Xiaoxiao, have you gained weight?”


Zhao Xiaoxiao, with a mouth full of drool, laughed foolishly at him. Yi Chenliang felt a warmth on his body and his face suddenly turned serious.


“This child,” Sister Zhao hurriedly picked up Xiaoxiao, “how can she pee as soon as she says it?”


Yi Chenliang, who was peed on, felt this was Zhao Xiao Xiao’s revenge. Indeed, no matter how old a girl is, you can’t call her fat.


“Xiao Yi, let’s go, we have to go to Ronghua.” Huang Chu came down the stairs in a suit and leather shoes, holding a briefcase in his hand. At first glance, he looked quite professional. “Yo, what happened?”


“It’s Xiaoxiao’s doing, Xiao Yi, you better go upstairs and wash and change your clothes,” Sister Zhao told him to go upstairs.


“Will it delay?” Yi Chenliang looked at Huang Chu.


“It won’t delay, besides, you can’t go with urine all over you,” Huang Chu didn’t know whether to laugh and cry, “I’m still counting on you to help me hold the fort.”


During this period, Yi Chenliang didn’t know if it was because he was running around testing various equipment with Huang Chu that his exercise volume had increased, or because he was being overfed by Tang Yi and Yun Heyun every day, his height began to shoot up rapidly. His originally somewhat immature features gradually matured and became more distinct, and he began to look like a proper seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man.


Sometimes when he was helping out at the milk tea shop, there would be girls coming over to ask for his number, or a group of them would gather together, sneaking glances at him while blatantly staring at him, making Yi Chenliang feel very uncomfortable. He would rather run around under the big sun with Huang Chu.


Yi Chenliang came down from upstairs after taking a shower, his hair still a bit wet. He brushed his bangs aside, “Brother Huang, let’s go.”


“Wow, so handsome,” Huang Chu commented, “You’re almost surpassing me in my prime.”


Yi Chenliang was speechless.


The boss they were dealing with this time was a bit difficult. Huang Chu was almost talked out, and in the heat of the argument, Huang Chu’s phone rang.


“Excuse me, I need to take a call.” Huang Chu went out to answer the phone, gesturing for Yi Chenliang to follow him as he left.


“Hello, yes.” Huang Chu walked to the window, “Yes, I am…Yes, that’s correct, but wasn’t this case already closed? Why do we need to supplement the materials?”


It seemed like the other side was explaining, and Huang Chu listened with a frown, “I need to verify this, I haven’t heard of such a regulation before…”


Yi Chenliang didn’t understand the legal jargon, so he was texting Yun Fang on his phone. But Yun Fang should be in class at this time, so he thought about it and decided not to send it.


Huang Chu seemed to confirm with the other side for a long time before hanging up the phone.


Yi Chenliang was looking at his phone with his head down, and Huang Chu said to him, “The lawsuit you had with your foster parents before, we need to supplement some proof materials.”


“Proof materials?” Yi Chenliang was puzzled, “What materials?”


“Your adoption certificate from that year, and your current household registration materials and so on.” Huang Chu was a bit confused, “I remember we had everything done at that time, and suddenly they called me to say this.”


“Will there be a problem?” Yi Chenliang asked.


“There shouldn’t be a problem, I’ll confirm with them when I get back to the law firm.” Huang Chu patted his shoulder, “You handled this case quite well, let’s go, let’s close today’s deal first.”


Yi Chenliang nodded and followed Huang Chu into the meeting room.

Time always flies by, and before they knew it, summer vacation was over.


Yun Fang returned from Beijing the day before school started.


He brought gifts back for everyone in the family. Yun Heyu received a wallet, Tang Yi received a bottle of perfume, and Yi Chenliang got a set of 53.


Yun Fang had never given gifts to anyone before, and he never knew that giving gifts to others could be such a happy thing.


Yun Heyu didn’t recognize the logo on the wallet, but it felt great. He happily started to transfer his odds and ends from his old wallet. Tang Yi was very satisfied with the perfume she received. Although the letters on it looked strange, like it was a knockoff brand, anything her son gave was always good.


Yi Chenliang looked at the set of 53, his feelings were complicated.


“Go back and take your time to look at it.” Yun Fang laughed with a bit of schadenfreude.


Yi Chenliang: “…”


In the evening, Yun Fang sent Yi Chenliang home after dinner.


Even though it was only a five-minute journey, the two of them walked leisurely. They hadn’t seen each other for over a month, and although they called each other every day, it was different from seeing each other in person.


Upon entering the door, Yun Fang turned on the light, and almost bumped into Yi Chenliang who was right behind him.


“Did you grow taller?” Yun Fang tilted his head and measured with his hand, finding that Yi Chenliang was indeed a bit taller than him.


“I don’t know, I haven’t measured it.” Yi Chenliang straightened his back, standing face to face with Yun Fang, the height difference started to become apparent, “It seems like I really am taller than you.”


Yun Fang patted his forehead, “You didn’t grow that much, what are you proud of?”


Yi Chenliang laughed foolishly at him, “I told you I would definitely grow taller than you in the future.”


“I haven’t started growing yet.” Yun Fang was not flustered at all, “It’s uncertain.”


“You started late, you definitely won’t be able to catch up later.” Yi Chenliang lifted his chin at him, “I’m taller, so I’m the older brother.”


“Childish.” Yun Fang chuckled and walked towards the living room, but Yi Chenliang deliberately blocked his way, “What, not welcoming?”


“You have to pay a toll to enter.” Yi Chenliang looked down at him, pointing to his own mouth corner.


Yun Fang twisted his wrist and squinted, “I think you’re itching for a fight.”


Yi Chenliang didn’t know if he had watched some drama about a bully forcibly taking a civilian man, but he was determined to seize by force. He put up a fight with Yun Fang, and in the end, he was firmly pinned against the door by Yun Fang, unable to move at all.


“Toll, huh?” Yun Fang’s knee was against the back of his leg, and if it weren’t for Yi Chenliang’s hand holding onto the door, he would have knelt on the ground.


“…I was wrong.” Yi Chenliang was flexible, he turned his head and looked at him pitifully, “Brother.”


As soon as Yun Fang heard him call him brother, his ears turned red, and his hand unconsciously loosened its grip, and then he was overpowered.


The physically strong toll-paying civilian man couldn’t resist the bully’s coquettishness, and was kissed heartily.


“I missed you to death.” Yi Chenliang held him and refused to let go, “If you don’t come back, I’m going to go crazy.”


Yun Fang pushed away his not-so-honest hand, “Isn’t this coming back? School starts tomorrow, don’t make a fuss.”


Yi Chenliang stared at him with a face full of resentment.


Yun Fang covered his eyes, “No means no.”


Yi Chenliang sighed, “You’re getting old, I can understand.”


Yun Fang smiled faintly, “Provocation doesn’t work on me.”


“Sugar.”


“…”


“Brother.”


“…”


“Big brother.”


“…Shut up!”


In the end, the bully was successful in forcibly seizing, even though it was through cunning.

As soon as the second year of high school started, everyone was greeted with a piece of heavy news.


Due to policy changes, the school no longer allowed the existence of top classes or experimental classes, which meant that the previous Class 3 and Class 9 needed to be disbanded and reorganized. Fortunately, by the second year of high school, they needed to divide classes into arts and sciences, so it wouldn’t be too rushed. After discussions, the school decided to reorganize the classes.


On the third day of school, the second-year students were looking at the class division table on the square in front of the experimental building.


Yi Chenliang didn’t want to be separated from Yun Fang and had been worried about it for a day. But when he saw the class division table, he was so happy that he almost jumped up, “We are still in the same class!”


Yun Fang stood beside him and looked up.


Second Year Class Four, Science Class, Head Teacher, He Xuzhong - also known as Old He.


He then looked at the names of his classmates below.


Qi Xian, Chen Qianyang, Wu He, Zhang Haize, Li Chang, Song Cun…Su Qingbai, Shen Zhouzhou, Qin Jun, Ji Shumo…The last name was strikingly Qi Huo.


It was, quite sudden.


He actually knew most of them.


It was clear that Old He did not organize his class according to the words “random disbandment”. He still taught his favorite students.


“Fang!” Wu He, who hadn’t been seen for a long time, obviously saw his name in the class division table and spotted him with sharp eyes, “My Fang’er!”


Zhang Haize and Chen Qianyang stood beside him with faces that couldn’t bear to look directly, silently distancing themselves from him.


Wu He ran towards him with great emotion, but halfway there, a fierce-looking handsome guy suddenly appeared and snatched his Fang away, “Brother Yun Fang! We are in the same class haha!! Damn, what kind of fate is this!”


Wu He, who was half emotional, looked at Yun Fang and Qi Huo with teary eyes, like a scorned woman, “Fang…wu.”


Yun Fang: “…”


Wu He, Chen Qianyang, and Zhang Haize were busy catching up with Yun Fang;


Qi Xian, who was firmly seated at the top of the grade, walked past them proudly;


Song Cun, who was lost in the crowd, looked at Yun Fang with a smile;


Qi Huo was busy sharing his joy and excitement as well as his newly bought phone with Yi Chenliang;


Ji Shumo and Qin Jun were trembling at the sight of the big shots coming from Class 3;


Shen Zhouzhou, with a calm face, was sharing the latest news with her sisters;


Su Qingbai stood on the outskirts of the crowd, looking at Yi Chenliang with an indecipherable expression;


Old He was holding a loudspeaker and maintaining order with high spirits;


In the midst of the noisy and chaotic crowd, Yun Fang looked at Yi Chenliang. The two of them silently stared at each other on this bustling and noisy summer afternoon, the red string on their wrists was passionate and flamboyant.


The day was warm and the wind was gentle, the sky was high and the clouds were wide.


They welcomed the second year of high school.
