Pavlov's dog

"You still know such a friend, Xiaowei."

Fang Wei turned his head to look at the speaker. Liu Chen's words contained a bit of yin and yang, and his eyelids rolled up to the repair shop employee who was squatting on the ground to add steel wire belts to the tires.

Fang Wei's eyes followed. The back of the person squatting on the ground was unfamiliar, but the face was familiar.

Zhou Ruiyun.As soon as he entered the door and saw someone, he blurted out the name, which was wrapped in layers of time and unfamiliarity that he hadn't seen for several years.

Zhou Ruiyun's expression was indifferent, as if he didn't recognize him, he raised his eyelids to respond, and then went about his business, leaving Fang Wei still in the surprise of meeting an old friend.

"Have you been here before and asked him to modify the car?" Liu Chen asked.

Fang Wei came back to his senses and said, "No, we are classmates..."

He also wanted to add: But the other party may not remember me.

However, Liu Chen slapped his hands together and said, "You just came back from abroad, so you will never be your college classmate."

"High school classmates."

"Your high school is the No. [-] Middle School in the city. There are either rich or expensive, or top students with excellent grades. Is there such a thing?" Liu Chen kept a mocking smile when he spoke.

"Liu Chen." Fang Wei warned, hearing the disdainful sarcasm in the words.But with his tender skin and his consistent good temper, few people are afraid of him.

Liu Chen hooked his shoulder with a playful smile and said, "Just kidding."

After Liu Chen finished speaking, he took two steps forward.Zhou Ruiyun was wearing dark overalls from the repair shop, which was dirty and not decent.Liu Chen walked behind him, raised his shiny leather shoes, and kicked his spine with the toe of the shoes.

"Student Fang Shao, right? It's fate to meet here. In terms of friendship, can you give us a discount later?"

Liu Chen's family is in real estate, so there must be no shortage of money to refit the car, but he insisted on asking this question.

Zhou Ruiyun's back stiffened for a moment, and he continued after a pause of two seconds, saying, "You can talk to our boss about the price, I can't make the decision."

Liu Chen was condescending: "How long have you been working here, how can you say it doesn't even have any weight..."

"Apart from the tires, do you have anything else to change?" Fang Wei took two steps forward and interrupted him, "Xie Heng sent me a message saying that he has arrived."

"Young Master Xie has arrived?" Liu Yan was distracted as expected, "He would have to be late for an appointment by an hour or two, but he arrived so early today."

Fang Wei smiled.

Liu Chen was restless, kicked Zhou Ruiyun again, and said, "Hurry up, I'm in a hurry, my classmate Fang Shao."

The smile on Fang Wei's face faded, and she went to look at the squatting person.Zhou Ruiyun was kicked so humiliatingly twice, but his expression was flat and he didn't care, and he was doing work step by step.

Liu Chen acts arrogantly and is a master of power.Fang Wei didn't know him very well, but his family had business dealings, so it was inconvenient to get stuck, so he made an appointment from time to time to go out to play.

He stared at the tip of Liu Chen's shoe, feeling confused and irritable.

Fortunately, Zhou Ruiyun didn't pick up on him, so Liu Chen lost his interest, and sat on the sofa to call Fang Wei over.Drinking tea and chatting with people, luxury cars, famous brands, which starlet is on time... are all topics for dudes.

Fang Wei answered a few words from time to time, but his eyes couldn't help running away.

After a cup of tea, Liu Chen went to the bathroom.Fang Wei hesitated for a while, and finally stood up.

Zhou Ruiyun was fiddling with the tires deftly with his fingers.

"Sorry, just now I... my friend was not very polite to you." Fang Wei bent down.

After a while of silence, Zhou Ruiyun replied in a normal tone: "You are blocking the light."

Fang Wei hurriedly took two steps back.Zhou Ruiyun didn't speak, and Fang Wei didn't know what to say, so he just stared at the movements of his hands.

While the tires were finished, Zhou Ruiyun lifted the toolbox, but his wrist loosened halfway and fell down with a loud noise.Fang Wei immediately reached out to help him lift it, but was stopped by a gloved hand when Kankan touched it.The gloves were stained and dirty.

"I will do it myself."

Fang Wei quickly withdrew his hand, the material of the other party's glove was rough, and the place where it was touched was a little itchy, he couldn't help rubbing his thumb.

Zhou Ruiyun glanced at his thin white fingers and said, "The bathroom is at the back."

Fang Wei was stunned for a moment, and said, "Oh..." After realizing what it meant, he added, "I don't need to wash my hands, it's nothing."

Zhou Ruiyun walked around to the other side of the car, Fang Wei followed, bit his lower lip, and said, "Don't you remember? We are the same..."

"Fang Wei, right?" Zhou Ruiyun said.

"Yes...do you remember?"

"A little impression."

Just a little impression.Fang Weiyi instantly became depressed.

"Which school did you transfer to in your third year of high school? I didn't see you when I came back from the hospital. I asked the teachers and classmates, but they didn't know." Fang Wei said.

Zhou Ruiyun answered concisely: "I went to City D."

"That's it..." Fang Wei heard the implication of the other party's reluctance to continue the topic, so it was inconvenient to ask further.

Liu Chen came back from the bathroom at this time and asked, "Are you all right? Why are you so slow?"

"It should be ready soon." Fang Wei said.

Liu Chen glanced at Zhou Ruiyun: "If the skills are not good, change someone." Then he turned his head and looked at Fang Wei, "There is no decent shop around here, otherwise I would not want to give my wife to this small repair shop." .”

This sports car is his "wife".

Fang Wei felt more and more uncomfortable, and his face darkened: "Say less."

Liu Chen laughed and laughed, not taking it seriously.

After the car was refitted, Liu Chen was in a hurry to join the main force.After paying the money, he dragged Fang Wei away, and Fang Wei said goodbye to Zhou Ruiyun.The other party still looked the same, nodded, turned around and walked into the staff lounge.

Fang Wei didn't see it, Zhou Ruiyun turned around and stared at his dirty hands after repairing the car, and smiled sarcastically.

Liu Chen drove, the sound of the engine resonated, and he rushed onto the road around the mountain.

"That's really your classmate, and he's not a character, but he's quite good at posture." Liu Yan took out a chewing gum and threw it into his mouth, and handed another to Fang Wei.

Fang Wei sat in the co-pilot, didn't answer the phone, and didn't speak.

Liu Chen felt the smell, withdrew his hand, and said, "Why, are you angry with me? I just saw that kid was not warm to you, and you said he was a classmate. He acted like he didn't know you. That's enough." Arrogant. I can't help but hurt him and vent my anger on you."

"I'm not angry. But Zhou Ruiyun didn't do anything wrong. It's very impolite for you to speak like that." Fang Wei told the truth.

However, it is impossible to be polite to someone like Liu Chen.

"That's all right, all right, there's no need to make trouble because of such a person when we come out to play, next time we meet, I'll hand him a cigarette and apologize, okay?" Liu Chen gave a step down.

Fang Wei couldn't keep his face sullen, and said, "Turn left ahead, Xie Heng said they are already at the starting point."

They came out for a party tonight for racing, and when they were halfway there, Liu Chen said he needed to change the tires, so he found a nearby repair shop, and unexpectedly, he encountered a pleasant surprise.

Fang Wei leaned on the back of the chair, the wind whizzed past the car window, and the street lamps on the side of the road illuminated the night as brightly as day.

He thought back to Zhou Ruiyun under the lamp just now.Compared with high school, the other party has grown a few inches taller, with a tall figure and a handsome face.The appearance looks very different from a few years ago, but the temperament around him is still the same as usual.

Even though he was humiliated and ridiculed, he remained calm.Exactly the same as before.

This sense of familiarity reassured Fang Wei a little, and he felt that he was getting closer to Zhou Ruiyun.

-tbc-

There was a lot of people at the starting point of the car racing, and a group of people had third-rate racing skills, but their superficial skills were first-rate.It looks like a thing.

The most conspicuous among the crowd was a man, young and handsome, with his hair brushed back, and he could tell that he was the one who could make the decisions. He was talking to a beautiful racing girl with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Hi, Fang Wei." The man saw him and waved enthusiastically.Fang Wei walked over and coughed twice when he smelled the smoke.

Xie Heng stomped out the cigarette and said, "Why do you still look like a woman? The gringo didn't train you well."

Different from the group of boys and buddies who are proficient in eating, drinking and having fun, Fang Wei doesn't know how to smoke, and drinks as a flirt, he doesn't drink too much, and he isn't even good at drag racing.But he and Xie Heng are familiar with each other, and they are used to insulting each other. At this time, he also said nonchalantly: "All gringos are gentlemen, and they don't smoke in public."

Xie Heng scolded him with a smile: "You're hurting me. You've broken your studies, Fang Fang."

Fang Fang is Fang Fang, listening to the girlishness, Fang Wei doesn't like this name, so Xie Heng dares to call it.The people next to him heard it interesting, and Qiqi laughed.

A woman leaning against Xie Heng asked, "Is this your childhood sweetheart, Young Master Xie, who just returned to China?"

Xie Heng nodded and introduced, "Fang Wei."

This group of people is probably Xie Heng's new friends in the past two years, and they hardly know Fang Wei.Someone even booed: "Young Master Fang made us wait for half an hour, and you have to drink as a fine. Brother Liu, you too, you can't hide from anyone."

Liu Chen stood beside him all the time, and when someone called his name, he laughed loudly and said, "You're just a bad boy, you want to watch my car crash and die later in the car, right?"

Xie Heng said: "With your skills, if you don't drink well, you will die in a car crash."

Liu Chen waved his hand, admitting defeat, and said, "I overturned the car before it went soaring tonight."

Xie Heng asked someone to pour wine for them, and said: "Alcohol still has to be punished."

Fang Wei didn't participate, and later took Xie Heng's co-pilot, and drank the wine, Liu Chen couldn't shirk, so he had to drink a big glass.

"Young Master Xie, do you know that I just pissed off Fang Wei and took revenge on me?" Liu Chen wiped his mouth after drinking.

"Why did you annoy Fang Wei?" Xie Heng didn't know.

"I thought he was telling you about it." Liu Chen said, "I just ran into Xiao Wei's high school classmate in the car modification factory. Hey, you guys from high school should also know each other, right? Zhou...Zhou Rui What. I said a few words, and Xiao Wei's face was pulled down, unhappy. I coaxed it for a long time."

There are engine sounds and noises all around, it is not a place to talk, Xie Heng heard the general idea, and asked: "Zhou Rui what?"

Fang Wei replied: "Zhou Ruiyun, you probably don't remember."

Xie Heng really didn't think about it for a while, and only warned Liu Chen, saying: "Okay, Liu Chen, you don't want to make fun of Fang Wei in the future. Let's play first, what time is it?"

Several drag racing boys who participated in the car sat in the car, and the other co-pilots were all blondes, and Fang Wei was sitting next to Xie Heng.

"I don't play this game, you're spoiling your interest by asking me to come here." Fang Wei said while buckling up his seat belt.

Xie Heng tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, and said: "In the past two years, some new people have come to City A, and most of them are here. I guess we will meet a lot in the future. Come here now to recognize faces."

Fang Wei has been abroad for a few years, the situation has changed a long time ago, the circle has also been shuffled, and most of them are unfamiliar faces.

"Besides, you've been back to China for a few months, and I haven't seen you yet. It just so happened that Liu Chen formed this game tonight, and he wanted to pull you out to get some air." Xie Heng said.

Fang Wei couldn't help laughing, and said, "Who the hell came out to breathe."

Xie Heng glanced at him.

Fang Wei laughed even more happily, and suddenly asked: "Is the rumor outside true or false?"

Xie Heng was adjusting the performance of the car, his face darkened when he heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Really."

Fang Wei smiled for a while, and said, "Didn't your cousin fall out with you?"

Xie Heng said: "Okay, Fang Fang, don't mention this matter."

Fang Wei returned to China for two months, but just in time Xie Heng was locked up at home.It is said that he slept with his cousin's fiancée, and was caught and raped in bed.

According to Xie Heng himself, he was played by that sister-in-law-to-be. As for what was going on inside, Fang Wei didn't ask further.

After being warned by Xie Heng to shut up, he obediently sat and waited for the racing girl to count down, and then the car rushed out like an arrow off the string.

Fang Wei studied hard abroad and was far away from the fun life. For a while, he couldn't adapt to the impact of the speed. He clutched his seat belt and stared like a rabbit.

Xie Heng laughed at him: "You said that you have been abroad for a few years, and you have been studying and studying all day long, so you have disconnected from your life."

Fang Wei looked at the scenery on both sides of the road rushing back and thought, learning is also life, where is the fault.

Xie Heng asked again: "I'm back this time, don't you plan to continue going out to study for a master's or doctoral degree?"

Fang Wei shook his head: "My mother won't let me go, saying that I've been abroad for a few years and she's so worried that she won't be able to sleep well."

"That's right, you only come back once a year. The godmother will keep talking when she catches me." Xie Heng said.

Fang Wei is at the bottom of the list in the family, with older brothers and sisters, loved by her family, she is afraid of melting in her mouth.He decided to study abroad a few years ago because he wanted to try to be self-reliant and escape from imprisonment.But there is always a time to recognize the ancestors and return to the clan, and there is always a time to be restrained.

Thinking of this, Fang Wei couldn't help sighing inwardly.

Xie Heng's racing skills are good, but he was half a beat slow because of chatting and joking with Fang Wei, and was left behind by several people. He is pursing his lips and trying to speed up.

The mountain road had many bends, Fang Wei felt a little nauseous from the shaking, and wanted to eat something sour.He thought about it, and suddenly thought of something, and the tip of his tongue really tasted a bit of illusory sourness.

——It was a special soup flavor.

Fang Wei thought for a while, and a pair of eyes suddenly appeared in his mind.

"That's right." Xie Heng had passed a few cars and was far ahead at this time, so he relaxed and started talking to others, "The Zhou Rui that Liu Chen was talking about..."

"Zhou Ruiyun." Fang Wei couldn't help but continued.

"Zhou Ruiyun." Xie Heng had a vague impression, "Is that the family in our class who set up a roadside stall in high school?"

Fang Wei felt the sourness in his mouth intensify, and countless pictures appeared in front of his eyes like watching flowers on horseback.

"Well, it's him."

After the words fell, Fang Wei heard Xie Heng sneer.

"Isn't he a top student before, why is he reduced to a repairman now?"

Fang Wei didn't respond.

Xie Heng built the coffin and concluded: "A phoenix cannot emerge from a heap of crows."

This tone is the same as when Liu Chen was in the repair shop just now.
