Xu Chao asked around, not only did he return without success, but he was also half-dead from popularity.

He thought about it and felt that he might have been influenced by those remarks. It was quite normal for the two little boys to stick together.

In order to get rid of his doubts completely, he hid in the back door and peeked at the two of them getting along.

Lu Xiao took "Five Three" and went over to ask Ye Cheng a question. Ye Cheng explained it to him for a long time, but he was still unclear.

In the end, Ye Cheng got impatient and let him go to the side to think about it, and even dropped the pen.

Xu Chao left embarrassedly, and it didn't look like there was any situation.

Moreover, Ye Cheng seemed to really annoy that kid, so he must have thought too much.

Seeing that there was no one at the back door in the mirror, Lu Xiao threw a quit smoking candy into his mouth and touched Ye Cheng with his elbow.

"Hey, don't be angry, I'm joking."

Ye Cheng moved his hand away and ignored him.

He posted it again, "Don't be angry, Mr. Monitor."

Ye Cheng couldn't bear it and said, "Can you listen to my topic carefully next time, don't talk nonsense, and suddenly ask me what it means to like black silk or white silk?"

Lu Xiao's eyes flickered, and he said vaguely, "Cough, I asked if you like black or white silk for game characters, um."

"You fart." Ye Cheng said coldly.

Lu Xiao peeled off a lollipop and stuffed it into his mouth: "Come on, please have some candy."

There was an orange smell in the mouth, and Ye Cheng's anger instantly disappeared.

On the one hand, he was unhappy that the other party didn't listen carefully, and on the other hand, he had a deep sense of shame towards the black silk and the white silk.

The sweet and fruity fragrance fills the mouth, and the tolerance for the little boyfriend is also infinitely increased.

"Want to go to your house to watch a movie at night?" he asked with candy.

Today is Friday, so it's time to relax after a week of study.

Lu Xiao's room has a projector, and only last week the two watched a few sci-fi movies together. They are surprisingly consistent in their favorite movies, and they both like to watch big-budget and exciting movies.

According to Lu Xiao's idea, maybe in the future, can watch some unspeakable little movies. If he had changed his usual times, he would have agreed quickly, but now he feels awkward.

"I...have other things to do tonight," he faltered.

Lu Xiao rarely refuses him, Ye Cheng looked at him suspiciously, "What's the matter with you? What's the matter?"

Lu Xiao looked away, rubbed the corner of his mouth with the back of his left hand unconsciously, and said, "Jiang Jin's friend encounters a situation, I'll go and help."

This action Ye Cheng was too familiar with, it was what he used to do when he lied.

Ye Cheng stared at him for a few seconds, then calmly said: "Oh, then you go."

Lu Xiao suggested: "If you come to my house tomorrow, let's watch a movie together."

"No, you are busy with your own business." Ye Cheng said blankly.

Lu Xiao is very sensitive to his emotional changes, and tilted his head to look at him, "Are you upset?"

"no."

The air was quiet for a while.

Lu Xiao held back for a while, but couldn't help but explain: "It's really Jiang Jin's friend who has something to do. I'll just do a little favor. Don't worry, they won't go to entertainment venues, and there are no girls."

What Ye Cheng cares about is not where he goes, but why he lied to himself.

He didn't say anything more, nodded and said, "Got it."

The two did not speak to each other for the entire morning.

It seems that they are caught in some kind of strange confrontation, and no one wants to bow their heads first.

Lu Xiao felt that he was right, he had already said what he had to say, and tonight, no matter what, he was going to teach that bastard Zhang Qi a lesson.

As for Ye Cheng, it can only be coaxed in a few days.

At noon, the group went out to eat, and by the way, they called Zhou Minhao and the basketball team to discuss how to clean up that guy at night.

Ye Cheng and Li Junxiao bought a meal and went back to the classroom, and happened to meet Tan Xiaoqi.

Tan Xiaoqi waved to him and said, "Brother Orange, let's go out to eat, let me tell you something."

Li Junxiao looked at them strangely.

Ye Cheng took the lunch box and ate with her on the small table in the corridor.

Since the beginning of this semester, in order to facilitate everyone's afternoon self-study study without affecting other people, Xu Chao specially set up a few desks outside.

Tan Xiaoqi smiled and asked for credit: "How about it, I performed well in the morning, right? Are there any rewards?"

Ye Cheng looked at her puzzled.

She said, "Isn't that what Brother Xiao taught me to say, you two have not discussed it?"

Ye Cheng was even more confused: "What to discuss, I don't understand you."

Tan Xiaoqi was shocked: "Damn, don't you know what Lao Xu asked us to talk to? It was because of yesterday's post that he suspected that you had an improper relationship, so he found a few people in private to test the words."

It was only then that Ye Cheng remembered that Xu Chao had indeed called a few people out during his early self-study, but he didn't expect it to be for this reason.

He frowned, an ominous premonition surged in his heart, and asked, "Which post?"

He hasn't seen the joint school forum for a long time, and he doesn't know any posts at all.

Tan Xiaoqi covered her mouth: "My God, you don't even know! Brother Xiao didn't tell you, woo woo woo, he is too protective of you. I... I'm so damned, I didn't mean to say this!"

Ye Cheng was already suspicious and asked her to turn over the post for herself.

Tan Xiaoqi cried while rummaging: "Don't tell Brother Xiao that I told you, I really didn't mean it..."

Five minutes later, she looked at Ye Cheng eagerly, he was holding the phone without saying a word.

"Brother Orange, are you alright?" Tan Xiaoqi said pitifully, "Don't worry too much, anyway, that person didn't take a real hammer, and Lao Xu couldn't ask anything."

Ye Cheng was silent, carefully recalling who he knew on the day of supper, who was in the same store as them.

Tan Xiaoqi said with sincerity and sincerity: "The person who secretly filmed is simply lacking in virtue, I wish him never to be admitted to university! But don't take it too seriously, everyone's discussion is only for a while, and no one mentions it after a while. And many people They all think that you are nothing, and the teacher will not treat you like that."

She thought that Ye Cheng's expression was so ugly because she was worried that Xu Chao would notice them.

Ye Cheng looked at it for a long time and finally remembered it.

He put down his phone and stood up.

"Brother Orange, what are you doing?" Tan Xiaoqi asked fearfully, "Don't be impulsive."

Ye Cheng expected that 80% of the "something" that Lu Xiao said tonight had something to do with this matter, so she perfunctoryly said, "Go to the toilet."

Then he left without looking back, and Tan Xiaoqi stuffed a mouthful of rice with a worried face.

Ye Cheng went directly to class 18 and asked Zhou Kai to be called out.

But the man said that Zhou Kai was not there, so he put his pocket in his pocket and waited at the door.

After about ten minutes, Zhou Kai came over chewing gum.

"Let me tell you, that girl was so energetic, she almost twisted Lao Tzu down..."

Zhou Kai was halfway through bragging, when he saw the person standing at the door, he immediately smeared oil on the soles of his feet, turned around and wanted to run.

Ye Cheng stepped forward in three or two steps, grabbed his back collar and said, "Stop, I have something to ask you."

Zhou Kai's companion hurried to hide in the class. He turned his head and begged with a bitter face: "Brother Orange, this matter has nothing to do with me, I was persecuted."

Ye Cheng dragged him to the corner of the stairs, and said solemnly, "Who asked you to shoot?"

Zhou Kai thought he knew all about it, and said without asking himself, "It's Brother Qi, and he found someone to get the post. It's really none of my business."

He was frightened by Lu Xiao's torment, and added: "If you are wronged, you have a debt, you go to Brother Qi, and he said that the evening will pass, so don't make it difficult for me."

"Where did he say he was going at night?" Ye Cheng caught the key and asked him.

Zhou Kai was startled, "Wait a minute, don't you know? Fuck, how did I say it..."

Ye Cheng asked, "What time and where?"

"I-I can't say." Zhou Kai stepped back in a panic.

Ye Cheng said indifferently and decisively: "Give you two choices, either tell me now, or tell me after I beat him."

Zhou Kai looked at him in horror. He didn't expect the first grade one to be so violent, and his mother was indeed Lu Xiao's.

He had to tell the truth: "At seven o'clock in the evening, at... on the basketball court, not the one on the playground, but the abandoned one."

That basketball court is the place where they often go to make appointments. At night, the lights are dark, and there is no one and no monitoring. It is very suitable for solving some problems that cannot be put on the table.

Zhou Kai whimpered: "Brother Orange, don't recruit me. I didn't do anything, but was forced to make a video."

He felt that according to Ye Cheng's character, he would either go to work with Zhang Qi, or find a teacher to work with Zhang Qi.

It won't end flat anyway.

Ye Cheng was too lazy to pay attention to him, and went straight away.

After Lu Xiao came back in the afternoon, he didn't ask anything.

Lu Xiao seemed to want to avoid him and didn't take the initiative to talk to him.

After school in the evening, there were several empty seats in the class.

Tan Xiaoqi felt uneasy when she saw the two empty seats in the back row.

These people don't know where they are going.

The night in early spring is a bit restless, with dragonflies and mosquitoes flying under the street lights.

A group of boys were noisily walking down the road to the basketball court.

Jiang Jin patted his chest and said, "Fortunately, Brother Cheng didn't come to see me today. I've memorized the lines several times."

"You fucking rubbish, do you still need to carry this? Just find a reason not to." Zhou Minhao laughed and scolded, "It's for his own good not to take him, the thin-skinned and tender meat will be troublesome if it is bruised. already."

Jiang Jin glanced at Lu Xiao secretly and said, "I have a guilty conscience."

"What a guilty conscience."

Jiang Jin thought to himself that I can't say, I feel like I'm helping a cheating dog man to cover.

Although Lu Xiao had not cheated, he had promised Ye Cheng that he would not fight again, which was considered a lie to him.

They were chatting, and Lu Xiao, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.

"What's the matter, Brother Xiao?" someone asked.

Lu Xiao stood motionless as if his entire body had been petrified.

Jiang Jin followed his gaze and froze for a moment.

On the basketball court, Zhang Qi was standing face to face with Ye Cheng, surrounded by a few of his younger brothers.

Lu Xiao didn't even hesitate at all, and immediately rushed up.

"Fuck it! Everyone copy the guy!" Jiang Jin shouted.

Just as Lu Xiao climbed over the fence, Zhang Qi took someone away one step ahead.

Before leaving, he looked over here from a distance.

It was so dark that he couldn't see Zhang Qi's expression clearly, so he panted and ran to Ye Cheng's side.

"What did he do to you? Damn it." Lu Xiao held his shoulders and swept his eyes around him.

The veins on his forehead were throbbing, and he was obviously thoroughly irritated.

After confirming that Ye Cheng was unscathed, he spat on the ground and immediately took someone to block Zhang Qi.

Ye Cheng reached out and stopped him.

"What are you going to do?" His voice didn't fluctuate.

Lu Xiao scolded reflexively, "I'm going to abolish him!"

Halfway through he said, he realized something in a trance, pursed his lips and stopped talking, staring stubbornly in the direction Zhang Qi left.

Seeing this, Jiang Jin dragged Zhou Minhao back a few steps.

The others also stepped aside wisely.

"Fuck, what's the matter? Why is Brother Orange here?"

"I don't know, come here, why don't you continue, I still want to beat that bastard."

"What were Brother Cheng and Zhang Qi talking about just now? Why did he slip away?"

"Be quiet."

Lu Xiao clenched his fist tightly, as if trying his best to suppress his temper that was about to explode.

Ye Cheng stared at him and said, "This is the first time you lied to me?"

Gathering and fighting, with guys on hand.

If you are caught and even drop out of school, you are afraid that someone will take out a knife and stab it on the spur of the moment.

Ye Cheng had never been to Thirteen Middle School in her last life, but she had heard too many similar things.

Young people are impulsive and irritable, and if they are not careful, they will make big mistakes and even ruin their lives.

There was anger, disappointment, and fear in his heart.

If he hadn't come today, who knows what it would have been like.

He didn't expect Lu Xiao to do what he promised him, he just wanted him to live his high school life peacefully.

Too bad he couldn't even do that.

Lu Xiao's face was terrifyingly gloomy. After a long time, he gave up and said, "You see now, this is my life."

Before this person appeared, this was indeed his daily routine.

Drink and make trouble with a bunch of gangsters, and beat anyone to the point of being unable to get up.

Maybe Ye Cheng thought about him too well. He wasn't the one to go to college at all, and he couldn't live the way he wanted.

Ye Cheng didn't expect him to say this. Even though he was prepared to rebel, he still felt a tingling in his heart.

Neither of them spoke any further, leaving only the sound of Lu Xiao's heavy breathing.

After a while, Ye Cheng nodded randomly,

"I see, but what I care more about than your life is that you don't want to tell me about your life."

He couldn't stay any longer, and quickly walked out of the basketball court over Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao stood there, motionless.

Jiang Jin subconsciously shouted, "Brother Orange."

Zhou Minhao and him looked at each other.

"How can this be done?"

Ye Cheng didn't want to go to self-study at night, she didn't even want to pack her schoolbag, and she didn't want to go back to the classroom.

He walked along the playground to the school gate, and the guard stopped him.

The school gate is not open until the evening self-study is over.

He made an excuse, saying that he had something to do at home, so he asked for leave from the head teacher, and he made up the slip tomorrow, and the doorman opened the door for him.

After walking out of the school, the bustling and lively Shanhai Road came to us.

Friday nights are the most crowded here.

The office workers are all off work at the moment, sitting at the food stalls, boxing and drinking, people coming and going on the street, and the night scene is colorful.

However, these noises have nothing to do with Ye Cheng.

Walking alone on the road, he was not warmed by everything around him, but felt colder and colder on his chest.

He always felt that he could subtly change Lu Xiao, thus ignoring a lot of things that needed to be communicated. Until today, he really understood that there was still an obstacle between them. This obstacle has nothing to do with age or status.

Lu Xiao naturally concealed and resisted him. For example, in today's incident, he knew that he would be unhappy by doing so, but he still recklessly made an appointment with Zhang Qi. But if he didn't lie and told the matter well, it might be a different situation.

Ye Cheng knew that he shouldn't ask too much from him, but when he said that kind of rejection, he had a feeling that all his previous efforts were in vain.

He raised his head and saw the moon in the sky through the plane tree that had not yet grown new branches.

Moon, Moon, can you make me stop being so sad.

He walked from Shanhai Road to Huowa Lane, and then from Huowa Lane to Baize Lake.

Whenever he is in a low mood, he will choose to jog or walk, look at different scenery, and try to calm himself down.

The sky became darker, and when passing a street intersection, Ye Cheng saw that the shoelaces were loose.

He bent down to tie his shoelaces.

Under the street lights, two black shadows appeared at the intersection.

Another shadow stood behind him and stopped with him.

Ye Cheng turned her head to look and saw Lu Xiao.

From Shanhai Road to Baize Lake, he silently followed him all the way.
