Picking mulberries

"A Yang, are you going to play at HKUST tomorrow? Our team has an appointment with them." Qi Zhuoran called out when he met Qiu Yang's boss on the way to the cafeteria.Qi Zhuoran and Qiu Yang are in the same class and have a close relationship.Qi Zhuoran's parents are both teaching staff of the Agricultural University. He grew up in the Agricultural University since he was a child. When Qiu Yang first entered the university, he made friends with Qi Zhuo and gained a lot of convenience.

"Tomorrow? It's over. I haven't planned it. I just have something to do." Qiu Yangjun raised his eyebrows and laughed.

"Tomorrow weekend, there is something wrong."

"There is nothing gross, but there are some naked things."

"What's the matter?" Qi Zhuoran laughed loudly, "Someone bought you, and a rich woman took care of you? Tsk tsk tsk, depraved, perverted, slipped, you kid, who spends all day trying to gain money, is finally given to you by money." It's a trap."

"Damn, you unscrupulous guy, where are you going?" Qiu Yang raised his eyebrows and said, "You took a job in the Academy of Fine Arts and served as a mannequin for them."

"That's not prostitution." Qi Zhuoran snorted.

"If you can't eat grapes here, you can say sour. If you want to be a model, you still don't want to. I call it devotion to art." Qi Zhuoran has good facial features, but he is a bit fat.

"It doesn't matter whether you sacrifice yourself or sell yourself," Qi Zhuoran snorted, "you always let our pigeons go, next time I propose to the team to kick you out of the team, clean up the door, and set the record straight."

"No way, every time I compete, I always strive to take the lead and contribute to the team. I have made outstanding achievements. You don't want to retaliate against me in the dark." Qiu Yang patted Qi Zhuoran affectionately on the shoulder, "This time Count it as my fault, please give me a good meal later.”

"Do you really want to apologize?" Qi Zhuoran's eyes lit up.

"Bringing a meal can make my family bankrupt, it's not like I haven't invited it before." Qiu Yang slandered, why should I be so excited about having a meal?

"Then you should set a specific date. When will it be next year?" Qi Zhuoran said bluntly.

"Look at your virtue, am I, Qiu, a person who doesn't keep his word?" Qiu Yang stared, "Okay, next Thursday night, you make an appointment."

"Come on, I will make an appointment, you just need to take out your wallet," Qi Zhuoran said with a smile, "However, if you miss the appointment, then don't blame the brothers for being rude."

"You wouldn't call all the students in the class, would you?" Seeing Qi Zhuoran's sinister smile, Qiu Yang asked pettyly.

"Don't worry, I still have this kind of character. My brother has no grievances with you in the past and this life, and I won't let you bleed." Qi Zhuoran touched Qiu Yang's heart and said, "On the contrary, just think about your brother once, and you will never lose your life." It’s also possible to get some benefits for you from time to time.”

"What benefits?" Qiu Yang opened Qi Zhuoran's salty pig's trotters.

"You will know when the time comes." Qi Zhuoran said arrogantly.

On Thursday evening, Qiu Yang took the initiative to book a table at a restaurant next to the school without asking Qi Zhuoran to remind him. Thinking that friends and friends hadn't gathered together for a long time during this period, he specially reserved a large private room for 20 people.

To Qiu Yang's surprise, Qi Zhuoran brought people here, but there were only five people in total, and he was only three men and three women. After confirming that there were only these people, Qiu Yang changed to a small private room.Except for the girl sitting on his right, Qiu Yang knew everyone well. Sitting with Qi Zhuoran was his recent girlfriend Yao Zhe, who was in the class next door.Sitting opposite Qiu Yang was Shu Yi, the captain of the basketball team of the Department of Applied Biological Sciences, and his girlfriend Shan Xin.

After sitting down, Qi Zhuoran introduced the girl next to him to Qiu Yang. Lu Hanqiong, a student at the city's Medical University, grew up in the same dean as Qi Zhuoran. Her parents, like Qi Zhuoran's parents, both belonged to the Agricultural University. of teaching staff.

While chatting while waiting for the food to be served, Qiu Yang took a little look at Lu Hanqiong. He was pretty good-looking, fresh and beautiful without makeup, and his conversation was also good.

What surprised Qiu Yang was that when the food and drink were served, Lu Hanqiong completely ignored the hints in Qi Zhuoran's eyes and offered to drink beer like Qi Zhuoran and the others.Lu Hanqiong, who was drinking, was full of arrogance, and looked like a woman, carefree and unpretentious, but Qiu Yanggao, who had never had a drink, looked up to her.

Eating and drinking, laughing, Qiu Yang finally understood, it turned out that Qi Zhuoran's brother asked him to treat him as an excuse, and the real intention was to pimp him.Qi Zhuoran's words were also tactful, insinuating, by intentionally or unintentionally introducing Lu Hanqiong's strengths and resume, implying to Qiu Yang that this is the dish you want to order, so seize the opportunity to perform well.

Qiu Yang knew Qi Zhuoran's intentions, but deliberately showed a nervous look. He treated Lu Hanqiong like the other two girls who had masters, giving people the feeling that they were neither too affectionate nor too unfamiliar.

"I'm going to be a sophomore soon. Shuai Qiu doesn't really plan to be naked or a bachelor." Captain Shu Yi couldn't see Qi Zhuoran's reserved energy, so he raised his cup and drank Qiu Yang's drink in one gulp.

"Oh, I have been searching and searching, but I was born humble, and I couldn't get into the eyes of the ladies and the bright eyes of Xiaojiabiyu. I am ashamed and ashamed, and I have no face to face my brothers." Qiu Yang said in a tone.

"Hmph, don't be hypocritical here. Looking at our college, which department doesn't recognize Qiu Yang." Shan Xin said contemptuously.Although what Shan Xin said is a bit exaggerated, Qiu Yang's reputation in their College of Agriculture and Biotechnology does have some. It’s a bit silly. A few days ago, the student union donated for the Yushu earthquake relief. Everyone donated 51 yuan. He got [-] yuan when he took it. Not to mention their College of Agriculture and Biotechnology, this move is very popular in the entire Agricultural University. of.

"Fear and panic, my son's reputation has not reached this level." Qiu Yang said very well.

"I searched for her thousands of times in the crowd, and suddenly I looked back, but that person was in a dimly lit place. Mr. Qiu, don't be picky." Qi Zhuoran's girlfriend Yao Zhe said with a smile.

"Ha..., it makes sense, it makes sense, I have to correct my mentality." Qiu Yang laughed.

"Don't listen to them, good land will naturally be plowed, and good people will naturally be followed. Why don't a man have a wife." Lu Hanqiong said very loyally.

"As a man, you should take the initiative in this aspect. Even if you look like a flower, the reservedness of other women can't take the initiative to chase you. You, don't always worry about money, you have to do it for yourself. Lifelong happiness is not a consideration, otherwise it will be too late to regret after youth." Qi Zhuoran gave Lu Hanqiong a hard look, and taught Qiu Yang earnestly.

"What does it mean to always focus on money, no way, do I love money so much in your eyes? You make me look like a miser." Qiu Yang said dissatisfied.

"It's not like a miser, like a businessman who is speculating everywhere, not like a student." Shu Yi laughed.

"Poor, my family is poor, not like everyone sitting here with a rich family, I should be able to recite Amitabha when I finish my studies." Qiu Yang cried poorly.

"Your family is poor? The ghosts will believe it. It's not that I have never been to your house. Pretend to be poor and stupid, and I will definitely be a complete profiteer in the future, with no human touch." Seeing his virtue, Qi Zhuoran wished to kick him to Iraq go.The fact that the money earned was donated to the Yushu earthquake-stricken area is well known in the school.

"You're scolding," Qiu Yang waved his fist in protest, "Why am I so inhuman?"

"It's not that you're not human, it's that you should be frivolous when you're young, take the initiative, and do your best when you fall in love with any beautiful woman." Qi Zhuoran turned to the main topic.

"Who said there are only men chasing women in this world? Back then, my mother was the one who took the initiative to chase after my father." Qiu Yang's mind became hot, and he accidentally revealed the "family scandal".

"Really?" Yao Zhe and Shan Xin asked in surprise.

"Of course it's true. I'm not here to brag to you. My parents' relationship is boring."

"Breaking news, big breaking news, tell the story of your parents." Yao Zhe said excitedly.

"Listen to his nonsense," Qi Zhuoran said disdainfully, "If you want beautiful women to chase you, you really think you are Edison Chen."

"Don't believe me." Qiu Yang stared.

"I believe that in love, who should take the initiative? Isn't there a saying that women chase men's interlayer gauze." Lu Hanqiong said to Qiu Yang.

"Are you free this weekend? Let's go to the suburbs together. It's a good time to go, the catkins are fluttering, the lotus leaves are blooming, the magnolias are blooming, the sky is blue and the water is green. There is a farm-like leisure place over there, where you can go fishing , you can row a boat, which is quite interesting." Seeing that Lu Hanqiong looked like two hundred and five after drinking a little wine, Qi Zhuoran quickly suggested.Taking advantage of this opportunity to strike while the iron is hot, no matter what, I have to make a pair of my best friend and my son.

"What are you talking about, what's so sour, the catkins are already gone in this season, you want to write poetry." Yao Zhe teased.

"If you are free, let's go together." Shu Yi, Shan Xin and Lu Hanqiong said excitedly.

"It's fun to play, and I want to go too, but unfortunately I have something to do tomorrow, so I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back." Qiu Yang said regretfully.

"What's the matter with you? Is it possible that you still want to skip class? Even you, Qiu Yang, skipped class. It's unreasonable." Qi Zhuoran asked sullenly.

"Hehe, do me a favor tomorrow, the teacher will call and help me with it." Qiu Yang said with a smile.

"Where are you going, are you going to sell yourself again?" Qi Zhuoran immediately realized that he had said something wrong, and it seemed inappropriate to mention this in front of Lu Hanqiong.

"Selling yourself? Are you also running a male public relations business?" Lu Hanqiong was really interested, and asked Qiu Yang directly.

"Listen to his nonsense," Qiu Yang said in embarrassment, "Occasionally take a few modeling jobs, one to earn some extra money, and two to improve my artistic accomplishment."

"That's right, that's right, a slip of the tongue, sometimes he distributes leaflets for other people's stores, acts as a shopping guide, and sometimes helps other people's art academy students to be a sketch model, anyway, he makes money from his skin, so we joked that he was selling himself. "Qi Zhuoran said in his heart, heck, if you make money everywhere, you will make money, what kind of artistic accomplishment.

"Correct me next time," Qiu Yang warned, "Those who don't know really think I'm making ducks outside."

"Then where are you going tomorrow, go home?" Qi Zhuoran asked.

"Go to Liukong Temple in Ruijin Mountain," Qiu Yang replied, "you will have a whole day's vegetarian meal there, and you may not be able to come back until Saturday afternoon." Liukong Temple is the most famous temple in Qingyuan, and it is also the largest and most popular temple in the city. A Buddhist holy place, but it is not located in the urban area, but in Xianliu Township, Hebu County, which is far away from Qingyuan urban area.

"What's the big event? Why do you have to go all day and all night?" Qi Zhuoran didn't understand.

"Isn't tomorrow the eighth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar? It's Sakyamuni Buddha's Christmas, and it's the Xiaoman Festival. I have to go to the temple to celebrate the Buddha's birthday. I've discussed it with the brothers and sisters in the city. Let's charter a car together. Tomorrow morning at three o'clock."

"What...? What is this boy Qiu Yang talking about?" Shu Yi just swallowed a sip of wine, coughed so hard that he couldn't believe his ears and asked his girlfriend Shan Xin beside him.

"What's all the fuss about? Freedom of belief and spiritual sustenance is better than a headless fly." Qi Zhuoran had already introduced Qiu Yang's situation to Lu Hanqiong, and she was not surprised to hear Qiu Yang's explanation Instead, speak for him.

"Brat, I've taken YOU." Shu Yi had an unbelievable expression on his face.

Qi Zhuoran didn't expect this to be the case, and his head was full of black lines: "The mud can't support the wall. It's not because of the brothers, so I don't bother to care about you. The emperor really doesn't worry about the eunuchs."

"No matter how low you are, don't call yourself an eunuch, okay? If you were an eunuch, how pitiful Yao Zhe would be." Shu Yi teased.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and the three of them who drank unconsciously became a little excited. The little fat guy Qi Zhuoran talked a lot when he drank wine, and he talked like an old woman, even more eighth-wife than the girls present. After chatting with Shu Yi for a few words, he turned around and talked about Qiu Yang's incomprehensible and chaotic style, and he felt a lot of hatred for iron but not steel, which made Qiu Yang both moved and embarrassed.

Lu Hanqiong thought that she also disliked Qi Zhuoran's mother-in-law, and took advantage of the strength of wine to wrap her hands around Qiu Yang's shoulders: "Brother, don't listen to his nagging, I'm exhausted for him, just tell me the truth, you Mom really chased after your dad back then?"

"My mother didn't break the law by chasing my father. There's nothing real or fake about it." Qiu Yang skillfully took Lu Hanqiong's paw off his shoulder, sighing in his heart, wine is really undrinkable, no wonder Buddhism There is a saying about abstaining from alcohol in the precepts. Fortunately, I have never drunk alcohol, and today I only ordered a few chopsticks on the vegetarian plate. Otherwise, I would be blaspheming the Bodhisattva when I went to Liukong Temple tomorrow. This girl is quite proud. , You can call her a sister if you hook your shoulders up, my dear, how different is this personality from her appearance, it is really unrecognizable.

"Hehehehe," Lu Hanqiong smiled wickedly, "Then I'll be your mother too, okay?"

"Yeah, what's that called?" Qiu Yang was stuck in his heart, Qi Zhuoran, Qi Zhuoran, what kind of friends did you make when you were young, "I only have Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in my heart, and I don't recognize godmothers."

"Who's going to be your godmother?" Lu Hanqiong bent her hands in front of her chest and spread her paws, stretching out towards Qiu Yang like a cat catching a mouse, "I'll follow your mother's example and chase after you first."

Seeing Lu Hanqiong's posture, Qiu Yang stood up from his seat as if his buttocks were burning, and subconsciously opened his mouth and shouted: "Ah, monster!"

Shan Xin was amused by Qiu Yang's panic-stricken, startled, quick-acting demeanor, and burst out laughing without taking a sip of his drink.
