He Will Come Back Before Dawn

68

Two years had passed. Everyone’s outfits had changed, but their characters remained the same.

Jin Ziyang had never been to a place like the “Seventh Prison”. Thus, he was curious about even the lamp on the wall.

They didn’t look down on Pei Chuan and bumped their fists with him. Zheng Hang said, “Don’t look at Jin Ziyang’s happy appearance. In fact, he wants to overturn everything here right now. When the incident happened, he almost cried on the street.”

Jin Ziyang blew up. “Who’s crying! Zheng Hang, what are you talking about!”

Bei Yao laughed.

She was the only girl in the room; her smile was like the spring air, bright beyond compare.

Her pair of almond eyes watched curiously as she had never seen how men’s friendship worked before. Though Pei Chuan felt a little helpless, he couldn’t help but laugh.

To tell the truth, the feeling of meeting again after a long time with Jin Ziyang and the others was not bad.

Pei Chuan saw that Ji Wei still held onto the “Pass the College Entrance Examinations in 5 Years.”

“Ji Wei, are you still preparing for the college entrance examinations?”

Ji Wei nodded and scratched his head. “This year will be the third. I always think I can pass the exam.”

No one laughed at him. In fact, Ji Wei wasn’t smart and hadn’t been born to study. However, his love was very simple; when he loved, he would love for the rest of his life.

Meanwhile, Bei Yao stood to the side quietly. She was too shy to talk to Pei Chuan as there were boys here.

She rarely saw him smile, but today she could see that Pei Chuan was truly happy.

The men, who only had money in their pocket, hadn’t brought anything else when visiting. However, everyone knew that Pei Chuan dearly loved Bei Yao. So they couldn’t give it to him in front of her and would have to wait until Bei Yao was away. So, Zheng Hang—the most sensible one—took Jin Ziyang and Ji Wei away and spoke while walking, “We’ll take a look around. Chuan Ge, you talk with Bei Yao.”

After they were gone, he looked at the shy girl at the side. “Yaoyao.”

She was inexplicably a little shy, yet she still went over and sat down on the stool opposite to him. None of them had the heart to ask, but she really wanted to know. “Pei Chuan, the prison guard said you fought last night. Why did you fight?”

His black eyes looked at her, and answered after a long while, “Nothing, the prison is messy, and conflict is inevitable when you live together.”

Nonetheless, she only cared about one thing. “Is anyone bullying you?”

The silly girl thought that he was still the little boy who had been pushed to the ground and had been incapable of resisting. His eyes were soft. "No, don’t think of such nonsense.”

Looking at her watery eyes, he had no choice but to explain in a low voice. “It’s me who hit him, so I was punished. Do you understand?”

She sighed and nodded.

Bei Yao knew that it was chaotic inside the prison, but she was far away from him and didn’t know what kind of life he had.

She raised her eyes, looked up, bit her lip, and smiled shyly. “Pei Chuan, huggie.” It wasn’t easy for her to see him.

Seeing that he had just gotten out of the confinement room, he just lightly touched her hair. “Be good, I’m dirty.”

Last time she hadn’t brought anything for Pei Chuan, and he was a proud man that wouldn’t accept her money.
