Prisoner's Dilemma

Counting it, Han Shaojun and Jiang Chen have known each other for ten years.At the turn of the Zongjiao, it was supposed to be like a golden orchid, but now it seems to be drifting away.

For several days they were like passers-by, even if they met, they would have nothing to say. This time even Xiao Jin couldn't handle it well, but the two seemed to have no intention of changing this state.

One semester is over and winter vacation is coming.That day when Han Shaojun went out, he happened to meet Jiang Chen and Lin Zhuyan when they came back. Lin Zhuyan was holding a beautiful Garfield cat in her hand. Its fur color was very similar to that of a custard bun. It was very cute with its round head and round head curled up in Lin Zhuyan's arms.

There is no doubt that Jiang Chen must have bought it for Lin Zhuyan.Very good, this time I don't even need a cat, completely.

Jiang Chen stroked the kitten's head, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Han Shaojun walking towards him. The two people's eyes met for a short while, but they separated immediately after touching each other, and then passed by blankly.

When Han Shaojun walked away, Lin Zhuyan teased Jiang Chen: "Why are you in a daze? Accompany me to buy cat supplies."

Jiang Chen still mechanically stroked the kitten, humming a few times indiscriminately.

Lin Zhuyan said coquettishly, "What are you doing? Let's go."

Jiang Chen realized: "Where are you going, didn't you just come back?"

"Go and buy cat things with me!"

Jiang Chen waved perfunctorily: "Go by yourself, I'm tired." After speaking, he walked straight in, leaving behind an angry Lin Zhuyan.

When Han Shaojun told Xiao Jin that he was going to study abroad according to the original plan, he was embarrassed. He changed his mind several times, and even he himself felt capricious.

"Really ready to leave?" Xiao Jin didn't care, and fell on his bed with the yolk bag in his arms, "Jiang Chen and Lin Zhuyan are about to break up, but you are ready to leave?"

Han Shaojun blurted out: "They want to break up? Aren't they okay?"

Xiao Jin hummed a tune: "I was originally a casual person from Wollongong..."

"Whether I go or not, it doesn't matter whether I break up with them or not." Han Shaojun said solemnly.

Xiao Jin let go, the custard bag hit his face, he yelled, the custard bag stepped on his face and ran away.He turned over and lay on the bed, smiling carelessly: "Then you give me the milk yellow bag to raise."

Han Shaojun was taken aback: "I will take the custard bag with me."

"It's very troublesome to transport a cat out. There are many procedures. Give it to me."

"I'm not afraid of trouble." Han Shaojun lowered his head and fiddled with the model. Because there is more space and time, his warship has been completed.

Xiao Jin smiled as if he didn't care, and then snorted again: "...relying on yin and yang to secure the universe..."

Han Shaojun was fascinated by his outrageous melody, his feet warmed up, and he looked down to see the custard bun rolled into a ball and slept on the back of his feet.

At night, Jiang Chen lay restless on the bed, his mind was full of Han Shaojun's indifferent face.Since he was a child, he has been held in the palm of his hand. Except for being scolded by his father occasionally, who would dare to show a cold face to him?Especially Han Shaojun.In the past, as long as he went to Han Shaojun when he was unhappy, he was guaranteed to go home happily, but today his unhappiness came from Han Shaojun.The person who always greeted him with a smile suddenly changed his face, making him unable to accept it no matter what.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he wished he could quarrel with Han Shaojun again to vent his frustration.

While tossing and turning, his cell phone rang, and he saw Han Shaojun's name displayed on it, and immediately sat up.But he didn't connect immediately, but pinched the phone and stared at the name on it for a long time, until he was about to hang up automatically, then pressed the connect button, waited for a few seconds, and said lazily: "Hi ?”

Han Shaojun's clean and soft voice came from next to his ear: "Jiang Chen?"

"What's the matter?" Jiang Chen replied coldly.

There was a faint sigh from the opposite side: "Are you free tomorrow night? I invited a few people to have dinner together, so you can come too."

"I'm busy."

Han Shaojun paused for a while before saying: "You try to arrange it as much as possible."

Such a unfamiliar and polite sentence, Han Shaojun could hardly believe that it happened in his conversation with Jiang Chen.

"Who did you call?"

"Xiao Jin, and Zhou Yixing, Peng Yue and the others."

Jiang Chen's tone was obviously very unhappy: "You called so many people! Let's talk again, I'll watch the time!"

"Come on, I have something very important to tell you."

"What can't you say now?"

Han Shaojun was silent for a while: "Let's wait until you come."

"Got it, got it!" Jiang Chen curled his lips, "I have nothing else to do, I'm going to sleep."

"Jiang Chen!" Han Shaojun shouted anxiously again.

"What?"

"Must come, I'll wait for you." Han Shaojun said word by word.

"I said I knew it!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen inexplicably felt much happier in his heart, and closed his eyes with peace of mind.

The next day, Jiang Chen didn't go out all day, so he waited to meet Han Shaojun at night.It should be possible to reconcile with him, brothers for so many years, how can there be any overnight feud, let alone so many nights, the more Jiang Chen thinks about it, the better his mood will be.

After taking a nap and getting up, Jiang Chen waited boredly for the time, played games for a while and received a call from Lin Zhuyan.

"Jiang Chen, come out and accompany me to a good place." Lin Zhuyan said.

Without hesitation, Jiang Chen said, "No time, I have something to do tonight."

"It's still early in the evening, come with me."

Lin Zhuyan couldn't stop being coquettish, Jiang Chen's brain ached from her quarrel, and seeing that the time was indeed relatively early, he hesitated for a while before agreeing.

Jiang Chen followed Lin Zhuyan, thinking it was some special place, but he didn't expect it to be an underground bar.The bar is decorated in a very industrial style, with rough concrete walls and exposed pipelines.

"Not bad, shall we hold a party here next time?" Lin Zhuyan shook a bunch of keys, "The owner of this bar is my good friend, look, I even brought the keys."

"Why are you going to hold a party again, didn't you just hold it?" Jiang Chen didn't have much interest.

"Then friends should have met and gathered more."

Jiang Chen was absent-minded: "It's up to you, just do it if you like. Have you finished reading it, then go after reading it."

Lin Zhuyan hugged Jiang Chen's arm with a smile: "Don't worry, let's go shopping."

The two looked at every corner of the bar, and Jiang Chen also heard Lin Zhuyan tell the story of the bar, the boss's partner ran away with money, and he couldn't find a satisfactory partner.Jiang Chen sneered and didn't talk to him, so he just dealt with it.Lin Zhuyan talked dry, and finally got to the point: "Are you interested?"

"Let's talk about it." Jiang Chen yawned.

Lin Zhuyan was not very happy, but she still forced a smile: "Think about it again?"

Jiang Chen raised the corners of his lips, his eyes were clear and cold, and there was a kind of pride that he had never seen before, like a sharp knife, showing a little bit of cold light: "Spending money and investing are two different things, I can spend money as long as I like it, I want to see a return on every penny invested.”

Lin Zhuyan trembled for a moment, feeling that the Jiang Chen in front of her was very strange, and an understatement of a word could engender fear in one's heart.

Jiang Chen looked at the time: "It's almost time, I have to go."

He walked to the door and pushed the door, which was locked: "Open the door!"

Lin Zhuyan reluctantly came over to open the door, unlocked a door lock, pushed it hard, but it didn't open, she turned the key a few more times, pushed it again, but it still didn't open.

"Is the door open?" Jiang Chen noticed something was wrong.

Lin Zhuyan kept turning the key with a pale face.

"Get out of the way! Let me come!" Jiang Chen snatched the key, tried clockwise and counterclockwise several times, but the heavy door still showed no sign of opening. "What's going on?" Jiang Chen stared at Lin Zhuyan.

Lin Zhuyan panicked: "There is still a lock in this bar, maybe it was accidentally locked when closing the door."

"Then open it! Don't you have the key?" Jiang Chen roared.

Lin Zhuyan was frightened by him: "I...I don't have the key to that lock..."

"Call the boss! Tell him to come and open the door for me immediately!"

Lin Zhuyan took out her phone in a panic, and her face turned even paler: "No...no signal..."

With a gloomy face, Jiang Chen took out his mobile phone, and it really showed that there was no service. He anxiously dialed Han Shaojun's number, but there was no dial tone.

A wave of anger rushed straight into his brain: "What the hell is this place! I told you I have something to do at night!"

Lin Zhuyan couldn't stand the scolding, and said with tears in her eyes, "How did I know this would happen? I don't want to be imprisoned here either!"

The words "closed here" reminded Jiang Chen: "When will the bar open? When will people come?"

Lin Zhuyan no longer dared to face Jiang Chen: "9 o'clock in the evening..."

In an instant, Jiang Chen had the urge to smash the bar down.

Han Shaojun ordered a hot pot, thinking that it would be easier to talk if the atmosphere was lively.He came to the box early and sent Jiang Chen a message to remind him not to forget.

Friends came in twos and threes, and the table was full, but the seat on Han Shaojun's right was vacant.

That was the position reserved for Jiang Chen.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the better time had passed, Han Shaojun stared at the empty seat absently, the phone on the table was always dark, without any response.

"Ah, since there aren't many people coming, let's have some drinks first." Xiao Jin greeted him for help.

Han Shaojun made a call, only to hear a cold notification tone.

"Is he here?" Xiao Jin asked.

"Temporarily unavailable."

"Maybe there is no signal."

"It's also possible that I hung up the phone." Han Shaojun said with a cold face.

Xiao Jin also rarely felt unable to resolve the embarrassment: "No, why would he hang up on you?"

Han Shaojun sighed: "No matter what the reason is, he should have appeared by now, but he didn't."

Xiao Jin scolded Jiang Chen in his heart: "I'll take a look."

"No need, it's not the same when you hit me." Han Shaojun said weakly, "I'll try again."

Dial, beep, hang up, dial again, beep, hang up again, repeat...

Half an hour passed, and Jiang Chen seemed to be missing, unable to contact him alive or dead.Han Shaojun began to feel worried, and called the Jiang family.

It was Jiang's mother who answered the phone: "Xiaochen? He went out in the afternoon and said he had an appointment with a classmate surnamed Lin."

"Thank you." Han Shaojun bid farewell politely, only he knew that at that moment his heart was about to burst.

He clearly agreed to come, but still broke the appointment without saying a word, it was clear at a glance which was more important.

Putting down the phone calmly, and looking up again, Han Shaojun showed a perfect smile: "Everyone is here, everyone is hungry. But before I start, I have something to tell everyone. I am going to study abroad. Walk……"
