Chapter 1435 – Courage 3 (Thanks To The Fallen Leader)
Chen fan was already regretting it when he scanned the code to pay.
Although his family conditions were not bad, his parents were very strict with his pocket money. Basically, the money given each week was only enough for him to buy stationery and breakfast. Even his favorite novels and games had to be saved for a long time, it was silly to spend the little pocket money he had left on something that he knew was a scam.
However, he had already done enough foolish things in his sixteen years of life, and he did not need this one.
Chen fan smiled self-deprecatingly and reached out to take out the blind box that had tricked him once again.
He was not in a hurry to open it. He first felt the weight of the box in his hand.
It was very light. Had he really been taught a good lesson?
Then, Chen Fan shook it by his ear again. In the end, there was not even the sound of objects colliding.
Could it be… that it was empty?
Chen fan was dumbfounded. Although he had a bad feeling when he paid, he was still at a loss for what to do. No matter what, it was an item that cost 30 yuan.
Generally speaking, no matter how bad his luck was, he should still be able to draw a consolation prize like a pirated figurine or doll produced in Yiwu. The worst case scenario would be a 9.9-pack headphones.
What happened to the empty one? Did the merchant forget to put something in it.
Just as Chen Fan was wondering if there was something wrong with this batch of blind boxes, a couple next to him also scanned the code and received the box that belonged to them.
When he opened it, it was a 128-gigabyte USB drive.
“Your Luck is not bad,”the boy said in surprise.
He didn’t have much hope for the things in the blind box. The only reason he paid was to make his girlfriend happy, but he didn’t expect that the thing he drew could still be used. Even if it was just a random USB flash drive.., it wasn’t too much of a loss.
The two threw the box into the trash can at the side, then left with the USB flash drive in satisfaction.
Chen fan was left standing by the roadside with the empty box in his hand.
At this time, the streetlights on both sides of the road and the neon signs of the shops had been lit up. The business street was still lively at night, but Chen Fan felt that he did not fit in with this colorful world.
His phone screen showed three missed calls. They were all from his mother. Usually, he would have already arrived home at this time with his schoolbag.
His mother often praised him to his colleagues and friends, “Xiao fan has been very obedient since he was young. He does whatever he is told to do. Every day after school, he would come home on time. He would definitely not interact with any random people, nor would he fall in love early. He would go to the internet cafe to play games. This child has never worried us much since he was young.”
After that, the aunts and uncles in the vicinity would also chime in with envious voices. Then, they would sigh and say how mischievous their child was. They did not know where he had gone off to.
Previously, Chen Fan always felt that no matter what, it was always a good thing to be praised. But now, he only felt that the word ‘obedient’was unprecedentedly harsh. He thought of that evening again, the two delinquents in front of the toilet told him to get lost, and he also “Obediently”got lost after that.
Another example was now, he had obtained an empty blind box. It was obviously a business mistake. He wanted to call the phone on the machine and question the other party, but when he picked up the phone, he had not even dialed half of the number, he could not help but shrink back.
He was worried that the merchant on the other end of the phone would confidently say to him, “That’s right, the blind box we have is empty. Didn’t you see the slogan on it before you bought it? If you sell it, you won’t be able to return it. If you can’t afford it, then don’t play with it.”

If only, if only there was someone in this world who could lend me some courage!
Chen fan clenched his fists in despair again.
His phone vibrated for the fourth time.
He could feel the anxiety of the person on the other end of the screen. Chen fan was already prepared to be willful for once, but when he thought of his mother working the whole day and still looking for him after work, his heart softened, in the end, he picked up the call.
So the obedient child version of Chen fan went online again.
“Hello… Oh, it’s a little late for school duty today… I’m already at the bus station, I’m about to catch the bus, mm-hmm… I’ll be back soon.”
Chen fan hung up the phone and took two deep breaths, trying hard to hide the despair in his heart. He originally wanted to throw away the empty blind box in his hand, but he hesitated when he walked to the dustbin. Even though there was nothing inside the box.., the outer packaging was still quite beautiful. It could be used to make a small storage box, and at the same time, it could remind him how stupid he was.
So Chen fan stuffed the blind box into his backpack, and then went to the station to take the bus home.
He pushed the door open. His mother had already prepared dinner, and his father had already gone home from work. He asked him to wash his hands and eat. The family sat at the dining table happily. Chen fan behaved as usual, he did not reveal any unusual emotions.
His father gave him a piece of ribs, and then asked him about the things in school. He only picked a few things that did not matter, and he did not mention anything about what happened in front of the toilet that evening, it was as if that thing had never happened.
Unfortunately, even if he could hide it from everyone, he could not hide it from himself.
When he returned to his room and closed the door, the feeling of powerlessness and regret wrapped around him again. It was as if someone had tied a stone to his ankle and he had sunk into the water, the strong suffocation that came from all directions almost swallowed him up completely.
I shouldn’t have left that day!
I should have told my teacher right away. No, I should have rushed in at that time! Even if I would have been beaten up!
I am really the worst friend in the world! ! No one is worse than me! ! !
Who can save me? Give me some courage! ! !
Chen fan was not in the mood to do his homework. He threw his backpack onto the bed. He did not turn on the lights after that. He just sat in the darkness with his head in his hands.
The next moment, Chen fan heard the sound of something falling to the ground.
He turned around and saw the backpack that he had just thrown onto the bed fall to the side. The blind box that he had stuffed inside earlier rolled to his feet.
The bow tied on it seemed to be inviting him to open it.
Chen fan then remembered that he had not opened this box since he had gotten it. Although it should be empty, since he had already spent money, he should at least take a look at it, or was he really so weak that he did not even have the courage to do so.
Chen fan hesitated for a moment and opened the lid of the blind box.
As expected, the box was indeed empty. The empty walls seemed to be laughing at his stupidity. However, when Chen fan flipped over the lid of the blind box, he found that there was actually an envelope inside, it was glued to the inside of the lid.
On the envelope were written in beautiful small block letters.
