Chapter 88

Xie Yu's first reaction was to say "no", but the word "no" was around his lips for a long time.

Zhou Dalei asked this question too seriously.

I have known him for so many years, and I always see him with a smile on his face, and his heart is also very big, and there are only a handful of times when he gets serious. Except for the toy that I liked when I was a child who was robbed, the closest thing was when Damei left. After drinking several bottles of wine, sitting at the mouth of the alley, he asked him drunkenly, "Will Damei come back?" This person

It's impossible to say whether you can go back or not, everyone has their own way to go.

Xie Yu looked at him, sighed secretly, and said, "I'll be back."

During the winter vacation, Zhou Dalei would poke at him when he had something to do, and when he was still picking him to write a question, he would often say in the middle of the night: Are you asleep? Thank you boss, what are you doing?

- No, play games.

-what game?

Xie Yu didn't take it seriously at first, but when he thinks about it now, he realizes that something was not quite right.

The vague idea in Zhou Dalei's heart kept rising. He took a few steps forward and suppressed all the expressions on his face: "You talk, you..."

Zhou Dalei was unable to continue—because Xie Yu was silent for a while, then interrupted:

"it's me."

Xie Yu asked again, "How did you know?"

These words made Zhou Dalei's anger go straight to the top of his head, and he felt so deceived that he forgot to think about 'why did his boss Xie do this':

"How do I know—do you have no points in your heart? I have copied your homework for so many years, and the words you wrote, whether you write fast or slow, are not even scribbled, even if you change them I can recognize the left hand writing!"

"..."

Xie Yu really didn't expect that he would be defeated by this.

"I've been with you for so many years, so you lied to me like this?" Zhou Dalei cursed, and was pulled by Xie Yu's collar to the corner, "This is the first time I asked you how your grades got so low, how did you tell me? What do you say, there are people outside the world, there are days outside the world, life is ups and downs, and you dare to fart with me here!"

Zhou Dalei said it, but he was still angry.

Xie Yu allowed him to scold him, but he didn't retaliate. He was the best tempered ever: "Have you scolded enough, continue scolding if you haven't."

Zhou Dalei took out a pack of cigarettes and hid in the corner to smoke one. Xie Yu checked the time and was about to go back when Zhou Dalei reached out to pull him and asked in a low voice, "What do you think, don't go, squat down, we Have a good chat."

"Squat, you won't be able to catch the bus if you don't leave."

"Then let's talk as we walk," Zhou Dalei immediately compromised, "You walk slowly."

Zhou Dalei imagined many reasons, but he did not expect this to be the case.

The bus leaves at 9 o'clock at the latest. While waiting for the bus, Xie Yu finished speaking in a few words. After listening to Zhou Dalei, he scolded several swear words, but he didn't know what to say except swear words: "Zhong's shit... …”

He was angry with Xie Yu at first, but when he finished, he couldn't help being angry for Xie Yu.

Zhou Dalei was so angry that his hands were shaking when he took the cigarette, and his mind was full of 'fuck'.

In order to prevent him from showing off a piece of Heishui Street master-level national scolding skills, Xie Yu directly kicked him: "Okay, the car is coming, don't stand here, go back to rest. Get out of here."

The bus approached slowly from the other end, and the light called straight.

Xie Yu got into the car, walked in for two steps, and before the car door was closed, he returned to the door. He hooked the railing beside the door with one hand and leaned out half of his body: "If you don't want to die, don't talk nonsense. I'm serious. You'd better find a way to gag your mouth—"

Zhou Dalei also wanted to block, but he went back and tossed and didn't fall asleep for a long time.

Mother Lei woke up at night, went to the living room to drink water, and was scared half her life by her son, who was still sitting on the sofa in the dark.

Zhou Dalei sat on the sofa for a long time. He couldn't help flipping through the phone's address book. He pointed his finger on the column of Aunt Lan. "..."

The winter vacation lasted for a month in total, and Xie Yu basically didn't move a single word of the winter vacation homework that was sent out. He signed his name and never opened it again.

Ms. Gu has asked him about tutoring intentionally or unintentionally in the past few days: "Think about what you have done this winter vacation."

Xie Yu went downstairs to get water: "I'm not very good, eat well and sleep well."

Gu Xuelan: "Don't change the subject, what do you want to do if you go on like this, do you think I'm not forcing you now, you just—"

Xie Yu didn't really want to hire a tutor at first, mainly because he felt that controlling his grades at school was annoying enough. Hiring a tutor had more things to control, and it was easier to show off.

Ms. Gu talked a lot, but he still said: "Mom, I know what I know."

After he finished speaking, the lady in retrospect didn't ridicule him with anger like "what kind of numbers do you have" like before.

Gu Xuelan was sitting on the sofa with the remote control at hand.

There was a clichéd drama on the TV screen, and the voice was ringing in her ears, but Gu Xuelan's expression was not affected in the slightest.

Gu Xuelan recalled the inexplicable phone call last night.

After moving away from Heishui Street, the pace of life is completely different from before, and the relationship between Xu Yanmei and the others has gradually become estranged. Apart from sending a blessing text message on New Year's and holidays, there is almost no other communication.

Zhou Dalei was talking upside down on the phone. He said that he accidentally made a mistake, and then called her Aunt Lan again, but he stopped talking. She was woken up in the middle of the night, and her mind was a little dizzy. She didn't quite understand what he was saying. She reached out and turned on a small light, sat up and asked, "What's wrong, Dalei?"

Zhou Dalei said, "Aunt Lan, have you ever thought about thanking the boss for your grades..."

Gu Xuelan heard the word 'achievement' clearly, and the child suddenly pulled the topic away, babbling nonsense, and finally said, "The moon is really full tonight."

Gu Xuelan: "..."

"Seeing such a bright moonlight, I thought of Aunt Lan."

Gu Xuelan has been getting older in recent years, no matter how well-maintained, fine lines have already crept into the corners of his eyes, and there are a few troubles hidden, and he was disturbed by this phone call for a long time.

She tossed and turned, and the last image that came to her mind before falling asleep was the award certificate that Xie Yu had thrown on the table when she was a child.

What is the award?

She was too busy back then, juggling several jobs.

"What do you count, tell me," Gu Xuelan asked him calmly, "...what do you count."

After Gu Xuelan finished speaking, she didn't know what she was suspicious of, guessing that it was probably because she hadn't slept well these past few nights. She raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, then waved her hand and said, "Okay, you can go up, don't stand here to get in the way."

Xie Yu held the glass and sat in front of the computer for a long time after going upstairs. He didn't listen to what grammar and sentence patterns the foreign language professor was talking about in the video.

"Kid, what are you doing?"

After receiving the phone call from He Chao, Xie Yu regained his senses. He lowered his head and took two sips of water before answering vaguely.

He Zhao just got off the taxi, stood at the window to pay, and shoved the change he found into his pocket: "Drinking milk?"

"Drink water."

He Zhao said that it was a pity when he heard that the child was not drinking milk.

"Can you think of something else, your thinking is very dangerous," Xie Yu put down the water glass and glanced at the date in the lower right corner of the computer screen, remembering that He Chao's appointment with someone was this weekend, and asked again, "Seeing someone already?"

"No, just got out of the car."

He Chao found the place to make an appointment—in fact, there was no need to look for it at all. When the three of them were in junior high school, the three of them used to come here. It was a small noodle restaurant near the school.

The impression is a very small shop, small and old. The walls were covered in oily black with oily smoke leaching out.

When I was in junior high school, I had little pocket money, and I was too hungry after school time. Often you gave two yuan and I paid three yuan.

"The proprietress still remembers me and gave me a plate of side dishes," He Chao picked an empty seat and sat down, resting his elbows on the table as he spoke, "I'll bring you here next time."

When He Chao spoke, his intonation was normal, but Xie Yu had no reason to think that this fool must be in a mess right now.

He Chao was really at a loss.

I don't know when the noodle restaurant has been renovated. There are familiar dish names on the menu, and some new ones have been added in recent years. After He Chao finished speaking, he stared at the word 'spicy sauce noodles' on the menu for a while, and sighed secretly. He looked up and looked out the window.

Xie Yu didn't say much, just said that if there is anything, remember to call him.

Xie Yu was barefoot, huddled in a large computer chair, before hanging up the phone, he added, "No smoking."

He Chao said, "Okay."

Xie Yu watched the teaching video without hesitation. Before going to bed, she checked her mobile phone. The news in the class was constantly being updated. Xu Qingqing wanted to watch ghost movies, but she did not dare to watch it alone. , the last class group's style of painting became "Ah!!!!".

He Chao didn't move at all. He thought about it and canceled the mute setting before going to bed.

It was almost twelve o'clock when received a call from He Chao.

This has to be put on hold until now, Xie Yu's approach is definitely to refuse to accept the one-stop service of blocking and throwing mobile phones.

He guessed that He Chao should have arrived home, but then he heard a few car honking faintly on the opposite side: "Where are you?"

He Chao did not answer.

After Xie Yu asked for the third time, and almost ran out of patience, He Chao opened his mouth and called out his name.

He Chao's words were a little drunk and sounded unreasonable, but when he pronounced his name, he was very serious, and the pronunciation of his words was stern.

"Thank you."

He Zhao called out several times in a row. Low-pitched, with complex emotions, mixed with the surrounding noise.

"Brother," Xie Yu didn't feel sleepy, he got up, the air conditioner was turned off long ago, and the coolness came in through the thin fabric, "Have you been drinking?"

He Chao squatted on the side of the street and buried his face in his palms. He had nothing to do, so he wanted to call him to report safety, but as soon as he heard Xie Yu's voice, the alcohol swept up, and he couldn't help... he.

He Chao originally thought that this matter would not be so easy to pass.

As a result, I really stood up, walked forward, walked up to it, and found that it was not as difficult as I thought.

When we met, Er Lei came up and punched him directly. After the fight, he asked him, "Is it alright, are you comfortable?"

That punch was not just for fun, he used almost all his strength, and He Zhao was stunned for a second. He leaned his back against the wall, wiped the corner of his mouth, and tasted a little blood in his mouth.

Fang Xiaolei hasn't changed much from before, he's gotten a little fatter, and his dressing style is more mature. Compared with his peers, he's not so student-like.

- "The past, forget it."

- "Brother Chao, last time you came to me, I said it wasn't your fault. Now I want to make a correction. I don't blame you. I want to tell you in person."

Er Lei's words kept ringing in his ears.

Unexplainable weight accumulated in his chest, but in the breath, everything seemed to lighten.

This feeling of loss of focus passed by in a flash.

He Zhao looked at the traffic on the street in front of him. The lights of the headlights pierced through the night, making his eyes hurt.

"No," He Chao said a word, and stopped again. He blinked his eyes slightly red, "I just drank a little."

Your fucking tongue is almost knotted and you drink a little.

Xie Yu was a little annoyed and asked while putting on his clothes, "Where are you now?"

He Chao was still near the school.

A few hours ago, the three of them met, and they didn't say much, but they blew bottle after bottle of wine.

Lei Jun drank the most.

Lei Jun was not the party involved in what happened back then. Er Lei was in a hurry and couldn't ask about many things, so he could only think about the worst. He grabbed He Chao's collar and threw his fist up, pinning him to the ground and beating the school to call an ambulance: "Did you do it, shirk the responsibility—"

He Chao didn't explain and didn't fight back, and even selfishly hoped that he would fight harder.

Be tougher.

After that, Lei Jun didn't go to school anymore, he went directly to the technical secondary school. Anyway, it made no difference whether he was preparing for the exam or not. I don't want to know anything about this "old friend" either.

We will meet again in a small restaurant near Diantech.

Lei Jun was only annoyed and forgot to think about why this person was in the second middle school. After he went back, he asked someone to check and found that not only the school, but also the grade was not correct.

Not only was he down one level, but he was still attending the most ordinary high school in City A.

Er Lei was not very good at drinking, but he has also practiced at various banquets in the past few years, and killed a bottle in a few times: "I was too busy to forget, I was running around in the field... You and Brother Chao have not been in the past few years. Have you met?"

"I did," He Chao drank violently. He leaned back and put the empty wine bottle in his hand on the table. "A few months ago, we communicated."

Lei Jun: "God's fucking communication, fist and fist are also considered communication?"

"..."

At the end of the drink, the three of them seemed to have returned to their previous days in a trance.

Xie Yu made a note of the location, worried that He Chao was still wandering outside in the middle of the night by drinking alone. He grabbed a coat and put it on. When he went out and got into the car, he realized that he forgot to bring his mobile phone.

I walked too hastily, threw phone on the bed when put on coat, and went straight out the door after wearing it.

He Zhao squatted on the side of the street for a while, and his drinking sank.

There were not many people coming and going on the street. There were a group of people who whistled and walked out of the restaurant across from the restaurant. They looked young, and there were a few girls in the group.

Even though it was already dark, but there were street lights on, they could still see the situation across the street clearly. They pushed each other for a while: "Hey, hey, look at the one on the opposite side."

Although the boy is squatting, he should be quite tall, the zipper of his jacket is not pulled, and although he can't see his face with his head down, he just feels that this person's shape and temperament are extremely outstanding.

He Zhao didn't expect to encounter a salesman in the middle of the night.It's all over.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the few people in front of him. Before he could say the words "don't scan the code", he was pulled by the back collar and pulled up rather roughly.

"He has a partner."

Xie Yu's face was not very good, and his eyes were full of irritability. Seeing that they were still stunned, he reiterated: "He has a partner."
