    Li Yu was sitting in front of the small bar in the lounge area of ​​the hall, holding a glass of lemonade in his hand.

    The barman opposite the bar heard that he had gone to the alley for breakfast in the morning, and immediately said to himself, "It seems that our tastes are similar, and I have been there every day for the past two months."

    Li Yu had no expression, and nodded cooperatively.

    Once the little brother's chatterbox is opened, it will be difficult to hold back, "But I'm worried that the storefront of that auntie won't last long."

    Li Yu spit out the straw and asked casually, "Why?"

    "Where can the rent be cheap in our area?" The little brother shook his head and sighed, "There are indeed a lot of diners in her house, but to be honest, the price is really fair, not to mention labor costs, just to earn back the rent. It's hard."

    The central city has no boundaries, but politics, business, residence, and entertainment are concentrated in a limited area. Coupled with a large population, developed consumption, tight housing and shops, the price is frighteningly expensive.

    Thinking of the price of his breakfast this morning, Li Yu felt that his words made some sense.

    Seeing the approval in the young man's expression, the younger brother has a certain pride, "But I'm quite surprised. The closer you are to the suburbs, the cheaper the rent. Why doesn't the proprietress open the shop elsewhere?"

    Li Yu didn't know anything about doing business, shook his head and said he didn't know, and continued to drink his own in silence.

    The little brother didn't answer when he saw the other side, and chatted about other things, "Which department are you from, this is the first time I saw you."

    Li Yu, "Villain Control Center."

    The person on the opposite side sucked in a breath, "It's the first time I've seen someone from the Anti-Management Center."

    Li Yu finally raised a little interest in small talk, "Why?"

    "I heard from other departments that your department can't keep people." The little brother said mysteriously.

    Li Yu pouted and expressed disdain for the news, "I already knew about this."

    "Then do you know the reason?" the little brother asked.

    "The mission was too dangerous, and I was scared away." You have to fall in love with the villain, and that alone is hard to accept.

    The little brother's index finger swayed around in the air, "The reason is that none of them have passed the assessment, and I only found out by overhearing other people's conversations. It is said that the assessment of the Anti-Management Center is very perverted. Before performing the first task, they have to write about life and death. In this way, there are still people going forward.”

    Li Yu asked, "And then what?"

    "Everyone was brushed down in the first task, it is said that the assessment score did not meet the standard."

    "What's the assessment score?" The more Li Yu thought about it, the more wrong it became. He had never heard of these things, let alone experienced them.

    Brother, "Ninety-nine points."

    Li Yu, "..."

    Little brother, "Isn't this fucking deliberately playing tricks?"

    Li Yu was thoughtful, not tricking people, but as if he wanted to brush people down on purpose.

    "It's just that the requirements for the tasker are too high." A cold and indifferent voice interjected into the conversation between the two.

    Zhuang Wei squinted at the barman, who immediately took out a handkerchief and pretended that he was just a passerby cleaning.

    Li Yu regained his senses, "Is it done? Let's go."

    Zhuang Wei's eyes moved, and he stopped on the straw that was bitten by the young man, his throat twitched, and asked, "Where to eat?"

    Li Yu said, "You will know when you go."

    Because of the proximity, Zhuang Wei didn't let his assistant drive over, but the black car drove respectfully behind the two of them, and the bodyguards who followed also hid their tracks.

    Cross the clean and dry main street, turn a corner, and you will see a small restaurant in the alley.

    The shop was still open, because it was just lunch time, and the diners inside and outside the shop were noisy, even more lively than early in the morning.

    The proprietress was cleaning the table, and when she saw the young man in the morning came again, she was pleasantly surprised, "Little handsome guy is here with a friend."

    Li Yu carefully observed the face of the proprietress, apart from being familiar, there was no surprise or surprise.

    He calmly pulled Zhuang Wei in front of him, wanting the proprietress to see the man's face more clearly, "Well, I brought a friend here. He used to study in X, do you remember?"

    Zhuang Wei lowered his eyes to look at the hand that was pulling his sleeve, and said hello to the proprietress with his lips hooked.

    The proprietress greeted with a smile, stared at the man's face, and said embarrassedly, "There were so many students coming and going at that time, how could I remember each of them, and the children grow up, one day a day? Change, even if you have seen it before, you must have forgotten it.”

    Li Yu turned to Zhuang Wei and said, "You must have never eaten at your aunt's house before, otherwise, your aunt will definitely remember you being so handsome."

    The proprietress complimented, "He's quite handsome, I've never seen such a spirited young man here."

    Zhuang Wei was as cold as ever, with no expression, but in fact, there were only four words left in his mind at this time—

    He complimented me.

    Li Yu was not on the same channel as him, thinking in his heart, did I make a mistake, Zhuang Wei has nothing to do with the mysterious gloomy classmate.

    But on second thought, not necessarily.

    The proprietress also said that if there is a change every day, maybe they are the same person, but the grown-up Zhuang Wei is so different from the past that the proprietress can't recognize it.

    Putting away his thoughts, Li Yu wanted to order the menu, pick and choose, and finally asked for the shop's signature noodles.

    Zhuang Wei didn't even think about it, "Just like him."

    Li Yu held his chin and stared straight at the man, "Why does Mr. Zhuang like it like me?"

    Zhuang Wei didn't change his face, "I'm too lazy to read the menu."

    Li Yu squinted slightly, unsure of the authenticity of this sentence.

    He took out two pairs of chopsticks from the bamboo tube, poured a cup of hot water to rinse it, and the corners of his ears and eyes quietly fell on the man.

    Zhuang Wei wore a black dark-striped shirt today, with his sleeves rolled up, revealing a sturdy forearm. The shirt was neatly tucked into the waistband of the trousers, and the rest of the trousers were very flat except for the extra folds due to the sitting position.

    Especially the seam of the trousers, which is straight and straight, you can tell at a glance that it has been carefully ironed.

    As for who that person is, it is unknown.

    It could be Zhuang Wei himself, his assistant, or someone else.

    The noodle was served by the proprietress herself. When she put down the bowl, she couldn't help but quietly glanced at the strange man again, how handsome he looked.

    Li Yu took the initiative to take his share off the tray, "Thank you, Madam Boss."

    "Thank you, come here often if you like it." The smile on the lady boss's face never subsided.

    Li Yu leaned a few centimeters in the direction of the man, "Mr. Zhuang, can you taste it?"

    "Yeah." Zhuang Wei's eating posture was quite upright, even his back was straight.

    He seems to be wearing a pair of shackles all the time, and the shackles allow him to maintain his image at all times.

    Such a person has either been in the army before, or has received a very strict education since childhood, so that those rules have become deeply ingrained and become a habit.

    In contrast, Li Yu really has no rules for eating.

    Since he was a child, he has cultivated the habit of squeezing out the most time for reading and studying, or working to make money, in the limited time, and these habits have also continued to this day.

    At the same time as the noodle entrance, he took out his retro mobile phone and flipped through today's news.

    Li Yu glanced at ten lines, and didn't know what he saw, his face suddenly sank, "You almost had a car accident yesterday?"

    Zhuang Wei had finished eating, took out a tissue, wiped his mouth gracefully, and said nothing.

    Li Yu handed the phone to the man, "This is your car."

    On the phone, a black luxury car crashed into a pillar at the entrance to the underground garage of the TC headquarters.

    Zhuang Wei's glasses assistant once drove that car to the hospital to pick him up, and Li Yu recognized him at a glance.

    Although the passers-by who provided the information did not know who was inside, they could tell from the awesome license plate number that it must be a high-level car. The video was recorded on the spot and submitted to the news department of a certain internet company.

    In the blink of an eye, the news quietly hit the headlines.

    In the discussion section below the news, countless people have guessed who the person in the car accident is from TC.

    "It's mine." Zhuang Wei's face was calm, as if the person who crashed the car was not himself.

    Seeing the young man's face is serious, his eyes are fierce and angry, he is guilty of no reason, and he rarely explains in a low and soft tone, "The safety of the car is very high, I..."

    Zhuang Wei paused for a moment, then changed the conversation naturally, "I'm only slightly injured."

    Li Yu's hands were so tight that he almost broke his chopsticks.

    "Where are you hurt?" He didn't even eat the noodles, and at the same time he stood up, he also pulled the other person up from the stool to check carefully.

    "I twisted my left wrist, it's fine." Zhuang Wei raised his hand and gave the young man a look.

    The man's slightly protruding carpal bones are delicate and sexy, which is quite normal, but because of preconceptions, after staring at it for a few seconds, Li Yu really felt that the carpal bones were slightly swollen, but it was not obvious.

    Zhuang Wei looked down at the young man's hair twirling, and at the moment when the opponent's finger placed his wrist bone, he made a "hiss" expressionless.

    Li Yu raised his head in panic, "It hurts? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

    "No, it's enough to apply hot compress a few times." The young man's fingers were always on his wrist, Zhuang Wei felt their temperature quietly, and his throat was itchy.

    He licked his lower lip, his voice hoarse, "If there is a pharmacy nearby, you can buy a heat pack."

    There is a fart pharmacy nearby.

    However, there are two in his own house. Li Yu didn't even think about it, and said, "Go to my house, I have them in my house, and they are not far away."

    Zhuang Wei, "That's a lot of trouble for you."

    This sentence is really not sincere, Li Yu turned to look at the man's face, a thought flashed in his heart, pretending?

    With suspicion, the worry on his face also faded, "It's quite troublesome, why not."

    Zhuang Wei, "..."

    I saw the man frown, showing a painful expression, "My hand really hurts."

    Li Yu admired in his heart, the research is awesome enough.

    He let out a breath, "Come on, come home with me."

    Zhuang Wei was successfully entertained by the word "go home", his black eyes were full of smiles, he suddenly lowered his head and put his head close to the young man's ear in full view.

    "Thank you." When the man spoke, he deliberately brushed the tip of the young man's ear with his lips.

    Li Yu dodged subconsciously, shook his head, and said meaningfully, "Everyone is a friend, you're welcome."

    Since the two sides cannot disclose their identities, it is not bad to come to the venue, and it is quite exciting.

    What's more, it's very interesting to watch a man pretending to be a fool and stunned, and it is necessary to relieve boredom.

    Li Yu was not wary of Zhuang Wei, took a taxi home, and led people into the narrow corridor.

    It's not the first time for Zhuang Wei to come here. He can't count how many times in the past, he has driven a car and waited downstairs, just to take a look at the young man in his heart, just to find a moment of peace and belonging. .

    The corridors are in disrepair, the lines are aging, the lights in the elevator are flickering, and the cold metal walls around are covered with various small advertisements that cannot be seen elsewhere.

    With just two grown men, the elevator was almost full.

    Li Yu raised his eyes and glanced at the flickering light, "I used a stool to fix this light before, but unfortunately it broke again in less than half a month."

    Zhuang Wei followed his line of sight, the lampshade was dark and full of old traces.

    "Why not change the location? As far as I know, the Authority provides accommodation."

    "Get used to living alone."

    The next second the young man's voice fell, the man lowered his eyelids unhappily, and the space that was not very large suddenly dropped several degrees.

    Li Yu raised his eyebrows, "But it depends on the situation. If the other party is someone I like, you can consider living together."

    Zhuang Wei lifted his eyelids and stared straight at the young man's shadow on the elevator door, "How much do you like it to be able to live together?"

    "Guess." After Li Yu finished speaking, the elevator door just opened.

    He went out first, opened the door with the key, and the cool air blew in from the unclosed window, dispelling the gloom caused by the dark passage.

    The house is really small, and it goes all the way.

    Living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, gone.

    In each space, there are only a few simple pieces of furniture that are just enough to meet the needs of life.

    Li Yu poured a glass of water for the man, asked him to sit on the sofa, turned his back, and bent over to find a hot pack in the TV cabinet.

    The loose T-shirt on the young man's body climbed up slightly with the owner's movements. From Zhuang Wei's angle, he saw a small piece of delicate skin. His gaze couldn't help but float up.

    He swallowed, rubbing his fingers against the warm side of the glass, and after a few seconds, he put down the glass and walked over.

    Leaning up from behind, he reached out his hand to detour in front of the young man, grabbed the hem of his wide T-shirt for him, and tied a knot.

    Li Yu froze all over, not understanding what the current situation was.

    It was certain that Zhuang Wei was restricted by the Administration and did not dare to reveal his identity. It was even very likely that, to some extent, he should not have come to have private contact with him.

    Li Yu didn't turn around, pretending that nothing had happened, and continued to rummage through boxes and cabinets, and said by the way, "Mr. Zhuang, what are you doing, don't your wrists hurt?"

    "It hurts." Zhuang Wei didn't think much, and tapped the young man's abdomen with his fingers through the T-shirt, "It's gone."

    Li Yu, "..."

    Everyone is a man, pretending to be a clove of garlic.

    He pushed the man's hand away, said thank you, and finally found the hot pack from the mess.

    "Go back and sit down." The youth commanded with his chin raised.

    Zhuang Wei hooked his lips, sat back on the sofa, stretched out the "twisted" hand, and placed it on the knee of the young man who had just sat down.

    After the heat pack touches the skin, the liquid inside will automatically heat up.

    Li Yu had an obsessive-compulsive disorder. He bent down and stared at the "injured area" with both eyes. With great care, he put the hot pack on the back of the man's wrist.

    After posting it, he took a careful look twice, it was straight, not crooked, and he felt relieved.

    He crumpled the outer packaging into a ball, and threw it into the trash can from a distance. In a chatty tone, he suddenly asked, "Mr. Zhuang must be an old driver, why would he drive the car up the pillar."

    Zhuang Wei, "Old drivers also make mistakes sometimes."

    Li Yu, "What's wrong?"

    Zhuang Wei, "I lost my mind."

    Li Yu took out his mobile phone from his pocket, dug out the previous news, and read it again.

    According to the whistleblower, the time of the car accident was 10:32 in the morning, which was about the same time he was thrown to the ground by the dog.

    What a pair of brothers and sisters.

    Li Yu got up, "I'm going to change clothes."

    Zhuang Wei nodded, "Okay."

    That expression, that posture, as if he was the master of this small family.

    Li Yu pouted quietly, walked straight into the room, turned his back to the living room, and closed the door with his backhand.

    As soon as his butt touched the bed, he spread his arms, lay down on his back, and discussed with the system, "1551, in the end, is it my sudden crossing that affects Zhuang Wei, or Zhuang Wei's sudden car accident? Forced to cross?"

    1551, "I don't know."

    "Does it have anything to do with the cards I used in the first world?"

    "do not know."

    "..." Li Yu sighed, the indifference of the system always came suddenly, making people unprepared.

    He turned over and went to the closet to take out comfortable home clothes and put them on. Just as he opened the door, a flash of lightning flashed through the window on the right. It was a thunderstorm and it was going to rain heavily.

    The four seasons in the central city are mild, and there is no extreme weather, but the weather is still diverse, with strong winds, rainfall, hail, thunderstorms... a lot.

    Li Yu turned his head and found that the man was staring at him, "Mr. Zhuang, it seems like it's going to rain."

    Zhuang Wei, "It seems so."

    Li Yu, "Do you need an assistant to pick you up?"

    "No, he's on vacation today." Zhuang Wei raised his left hand, "and the hot compress is not over yet."

    Li Yu pursed his lips and asked 1551 uncertainly, "Does he want to stay away?"

    1551, "Maybe you guessed it right."

    Li Yu raised his eyes and saw that the man actually leaned his head up on the broken sofa and closed his eyes calmly.

    "Mr. Zhuang, if you're tired, I can call a car for you." The sofa is so narrow that if you really want to fall asleep, you will wake up with aches and pains.

    As for the only bed in the family, Li Yu swore that he would never contribute.

    After a long time, the man with his eyes closed made a very slight "um" sound from his nose, like an unconscious reaction in his sleep.

    Li Yu, "..."

    He now seriously suspects that it was a coincidence that this person had planned the meeting, pretended to be sick, entered the room, and refused to leave in the rain.

    What's even more coincidental is that all this happens to be able to be strung together without any sense of disobedience.

    Li Yu crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked down at the person on the sofa, "Mr. Zhuang, did you really not read the weather forecast before going out today?"

    Waited and waited, silent.

    Li Yu laughed angrily, there is no one in this world who can fall asleep faster than him!

    I didn't see that Mr. Zhuang was not only able to pretend and had a thick skin, but also selectively deaf and disrespectful.
