"No. 314 Zhaodun Lane, the room on the second floor facing south, knock four times before entering, with two short intervals and one long interval."

Before the bus stopped at the platform, the hot air rushed to squeeze in from the unopened door.

Accompanied by the voice broadcast of "Zhaodun Lane is here, please cooperate to get off the car through the back door, please be careful when opening the door", a text message like a connection code popped up on Xu Peck's mobile phone.

Guan Guan has been a little obsessed with spy war dramas lately, and even asks his deskmate who left school to help pick up a courier from the Internet cafe, which is mysterious.

Xu Peck sent her an ok expression, put the phone in his pocket, and got out of the car.

Today is not a rest day, nor is it a holiday. Xu Peck didn't lie when he went to ask the teacher for leave yesterday.

"I'm going back to celebrate my brother's birthday."

He always spoke at a leisurely pace, and the expression on his face was also light. The teacher looked at him fixedly at that time, wondering if he had heard it wrong just now, and this good student was actually going out of school to buy study materials.

But both reasons were very bad. Fortunately, Xu Ji'an called the head teacher in time, and Xu Peck successfully asked for leave.

The bag in his hand was a bit heavy, and the skin on Xu Peck's hands was delicate, and his knuckles were bloodless due to the two cotton and hemp ropes, but he didn't see him trying to hold it in another hand.

Xu Peck has lived on campus since junior high school. Except for winter and summer vacations, he seldom goes home on weekends.Today is indeed going back to celebrate Xu Si's birthday, but what Xu Ji'an told the teacher must not be the reason.

In the first year of junior high school, Xu Peck was standing in the office and heard Xu Ji'an telling the teacher on the phone: "His third grandma is critically ill and wants to see her grandson for the last time."

In the second year of junior high, Xu Peck was standing in the office and heard Xu Ji'an telling the teacher on the phone: "His second uncle is critically ill, and he wants to see his nephew for the last time."

In the third year of junior high school, Xu Peck was standing in the office. Before Xu Ji'an could speak, the teacher had already said with great pain: "Who in your family is critically ill this year?"

After three years of junior high school, Xu Peck was also a little curious about the new homeroom teacher in the first year of senior high school. This year, which relative did not even exist would want to see him for the last time.

But just think about it, he won't ask when he goes back.

After all, Xu Ji'an was the only one in the family who wanted to see him.

The place Guan Guan said was some distance away from the bus station. Xu Peck had checked the route before coming, but he didn't take out his phone at the moment, so he chose a direction to start from memory.

He looked very natural, if the paper bag in his hand hadn't been snatched by someone unsuspectingly as soon as he turned around, he really looked like a person from Zhaodun Lane.

"Damn, robbery, ah ha ha."

Although in modern society, the warmth and coldness of people has become the norm, but the exclamation mixed with laughter behind him is really annoying.Xu Peck looked back. There were very few people at the bus stop, so his eyes naturally fell on the two people who were a few steps away.

One is standing and the other is sitting, both of them look like teenagers.

The one who was sitting looked bored, resting against the billboard with his eyes closed, not even looking at anyone.

The standing man wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, but apart from his handsome appearance, he had a playful smile on his face. It seemed that he had nothing to do with Sven, and he seemed to be from a family of scum, probably the person who just spoke.

Xu Peck went straight over.

Lin Xiaobai raised his eyebrows, looked back at He Zhi who was still sitting with his head up in a trance, and didn't dare to make a sound.

Xu Peck walked away from them.

"..."

Lin Xiaobai watched this very weak-looking little white face go away in the opposite direction, but he still couldn't hold back his curiosity, and leaned in front of He Zhi: "Hey, brother Zhi, you said this little white..."

The boy frowned impatiently: "Shut up."

Lin Xiaobai was honest: "Oh."

According to the map in his mind, Xu Peck took a shortcut and found his things at No. 271 Zhaodun Lane.

The bag was thrown to the ground, and the box was opened, but the contents were not soiled or damaged.

It was his birthday present for Xu Si.

The latest complete English hardcover edition of Harry Potter is not sold in China, and he has no way to do it if he has money.Xu Peck helped the high-spirited rich second generation in his class to write a semester's math homework, and he just got it this morning.

"Your brother's birthday is tomorrow, don't you think about what if the dog doesn't keep his promise and delays your gift?"

When he came back from the office yesterday, Guan Guan was sitting in his seat, tilting his head and asking him this question.

Xu Peck picked up the pen and opened the book. When he wrote the pen, his tone was still very slow, as if he was reading a text.

"Then he will regret it."

I still study documentary and prophecy literature.

Perhaps this sentence reached the ears of the rich second generation. Early this morning, Xu Peck packed up and was about to go out to ask for books. As soon as he opened the door, he saw seven series of books neatly stacked on the ground.

Classical framed in a strange style, looks very delicate, very good, but lacks a box.

It seems that the rich second generation really didn't intend to give it to him, even the packaging was removed.Sending it over like this now, I don't know whether it is a peace or a demonstration.

Xu Peck didn't bother to think about it, went back to the house and found the hardcover gift box with the full set of Wusan, and really left the school with the "study materials".

Now this set of learning materials is still intact. It is estimated that the little thief felt that it was too heavy. When he opened it, he was very angry and threw it away.

Therefore, even if you are engaging in robbery, you must pay attention to literacy, otherwise you will pass by a limited number of out-of-print books that are enough for him to feast on for more than half a month in a certain business.

Zhaodun Lane is under the city wall to the south of Yancheng. There are a lot of eating, drinking and having fun on the street, but it is always deserted.It was still early, so Xu Peck went around a long way to find a stationery store, bought a new gift bag before returning it, and walked in the deserted streets, counting the house numbers one by one.

307.

He stopped and looked at the three-story dilapidated western-style building across the narrow road.

For an Internet cafe to be opened in a historically protected building in Yancheng, Xu Peck felt... nothing.

He has never been here before, if it wasn't for Guan Guan, please, and just happened to drop by, maybe he would never come here in his life.

It is estimated that the people from the Bureau of Cultural Protection also thought this way. When Xu Peck went upstairs, his eyes fell on the messy graffiti on the wall, and he wondered if the certification sign of "Historic Preservation Building" downstairs was hung in the wrong place.

On the south side of the second floor is a wooden door. Standing at the door, Xu Peck knocked four times as said in the text message, with an interval of two short ones...the door was pulled open before he finished knocking.

The eyelids of the young man inside the door drooped lazily, leaning against the wall, his eyes fell directly from the door lock, and stopped at the pink gift bag in Xu Peck's hand, and the faintly visible "Five-year college entrance examination and three-year simulation" in the bag above the lettering.

"No promotion."

Xu Peck pressed the door that was about to close in front of him: "I'll pick up the courier."

The young man paused, his eyes turned from bottom to top, and met Xu Peck's calm expression.He picked out his ears and made way sideways.

"come in."

So weird.

He was like an underground informant who came to connect.

So what exactly is that courier? Is the mid-term exam paper for next month attached to the deadly enemy in the letter?

The bag in his hand was replaced by a silk wide band, which was not as uncomfortable as before. Xu Peck followed behind the young man who was walking listlessly with his slippers on, and finally felt a little surprised at the internal structure that was completely different from the appearance. .

Pushing open the door is an ordinary house, but walking through the corridor and going forward, in front of a very inconspicuous mirror door, the young man raises his hand and gently pushes it, and the scene inside can be seen.

It is indeed an Internet cafe, but it is very different from what Xu Peck imagined. This is a very high-end Internet cafe.

High-end does not refer to the decoration, but the environment here is very good.

There is no smog, no stuffy smell, and the rows of LCD screens and leather chairs are half-old and not new, but they are quite clean.There are not too many people in the Internet cafe, but there are also quite a few. Except for the crazy tapping of the mechanical keyboard, the place is as quiet as a computer-based test room.

So are they taking the test?

Xu Peck blinked, glanced around casually, and followed the young man to the bar.

Just as Lin Xiaobai was shot in the gameover by a dark gun, he raised his head with a soft "bah", just in time to see a suspicious figure by the door.

He is farsighted and can see better with his glasses off.But as soon as the glasses were taken off, Lin Xiaobai "woc" on the spot.

No one scolded him, because everyone "woc" in their hearts.

The object of "woc" is not the handsome Xu Peck by the door, but the young man who looks like a network administrator.

To be precise, it was something wrapped in a red plastic bag that the young man took down from the top floor of the glass cabinet.

The sound of mechanical keyboards in the Internet cafe gradually subsided at some point, leaving only Lin Xiaobai and He Zhi who was still sneering at him with a cold face.

He didn't even lift his eyelids.

The young man handed the red plastic bag to Xu Peck.

There were gasps of air one after another behind him, Xu Peck took it without changing his face, followed Guan Guan's instructions, took it out and checked it.

This is a trophy.

A shiny crystal trophy.

"XX E-sports Northern Division No. 1 Pass Guan Jujiu" is printed on it.

"Hey, my god..." Lin Xiao idiotically poked He Zhi, who was knocking on the keyboard and mouse, and was unable to speak.

"Brother Zhi, that little boy turned out to be Guan Guan Qie Niao."

The earphones were hanging around his neck, but He Zhi seemed to be unable to hear anything, so he ignored him.

On the other side, looking at Xu Peck's calm and unfazed expression, the young network manager's eyes were complicated: "You sent a message to say, just take a bag and put it in any bag."

Guan Guan can really pretend.

"It's really not important, but it's my stuff and shouldn't be left outside."

Xu Peck thought of Guan Guanwan's indifferent tone when he was studying and playing Rubik's Cube by himself, his eyes were soft, and he smiled very rarely.

The opposite side was almost slaughtered by him, He Zhi raised his eyes boredly, and just in time, he passed a few rows of monitors, and saw a fleeting crescent moon on the lips of the young man by the window.

It's such a big red bag, and it's not a birthday present, so if you take it back like this, you will definitely be asked again and again.

Xu Peck thought for a while and said, "Change to another garbage bag, black one."

"..."

The Internet cafe was silent.

Xu Peck walked quietly with a black garbage bag in one hand and a pink gift bag in the other.

After he left, not long after, an exclamation suddenly burst out from the Internet cafe.

"Fuck, Guan Guan Jujiu is actually a man???"

After a while.

"What, that Guan Guan Jujiu just now wasn't a woman???"

After a while.

Lin Xiaobai: "Huh? So it's not Guan Guan and Bird???"

Noisy.

He Zhi took off his earphones, grabbed Lin Xiao who was "shocking my mother" by the collar of his white shirt, and threw him on his seat.

"You can play to death like this, and I will cut you to death when I come back later."

The results on the screen not only shocked my mother, but my mother and my mother.

Lin Xiaobai held the mouse in a flustered panic, and from the corner of his vision was the back of He Zhi who was leaving slowly, and he whispered, "Brother Zhi, why are you going!"

He Zhi ignored him again.

What he can do is smoke and drink.No, it's smoking with water, and you have to wash your hands between the water and smoking.

The environment in YASO is good. Although it is [-] miles away from his own site, He Zhi likes to come here for leisure when he is free.

Come when you are in a good mood, and come when you are in a bad mood.

Today's mood is very normal, but it's not down to the bottom, otherwise Lin Xiaobai wouldn't have the guts to bluff in his ear endlessly.

The weather outside was so annoyingly hot that He Zhi washed his hands and came out without going back. He walked to the shaded balcony of his house outside the Internet cafe, squinted his eyes and knocked out the last cigarette from the shriveled cigarette case.

The lighter in his pocket was about to be scrapped, and after lighting it several times, there was a small flame that couldn't last for a second.

He Zhi tapped it ten times in a row, only feeling the flames in his heart getting higher and higher.

"Hey, are you Guan Guan Jujiu?"

Downstairs there are melons and ducks calling, quacking and quacking.

He Zhi was so annoyed that he threw the cigarette aside casually, held the lighter in front of him, and stared affectionately at him who just bought it from the canteen yesterday little trash.

"I'm not."

The other little duck had a low voice and a slow tone, but it sounded cool and refreshing.

He Zhimo counted "321" and pressed the lighter again.This time the flames worked so hard to burst out, but in the end it only lasted two seconds longer.

This lighter is now dead.

"Stop pretending! You have all the trophies in your hands, so pretend to be a full set! What are you talking about! Don't you dare to challenge me one-on-one!"

Xu Peck nodded calmly: "Don't dare."

The melon duck on the opposite side was stunned.

He Zhi's gaze finally moved away from the lighter.

He turned his head and saw the scene downstairs.

Two people are confronting each other.Gua Yazi stood under the scorching sun, his head was on fire with anger, and the duckling huddled in the shadow, with a pitiful look on his face, but for some reason, He Zhi felt that he was actually standing in the shadow to enjoy the cool It was very cool.

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

Gua Yazi frowned and took a step forward. The little duck lowered his eyelids, still looking like he had nothing to do with him.

I don't know if he has a back trick or is he really stupid. This kind of bluff used on such a small body seems to be nothing more than a stupid provocation.

He Zhi leaned against the guardrail, propping up his chin with great interest.

So is the duckling a stupid duck?

The people on the other side kept approaching.

The two objects in his hands were heavier than the other, and Xu Peck was concentrating on which one to throw on the opponent's head to be sure and not fatal, but before he could figure out the result, the opponent let out an "ouch".

The object that hit him on the head fell to the ground with a crisp sound. It was a lighter.

"Hey."

Xu Peck followed Gua Yazi to look up, and saw the young man casually playing with cigarettes on the balcony on the second floor.

He Zhi raised his eyelids, his cold gaze fell on the dagger hidden behind Gua Yazi's back, he twitched the corners of his mouth, his voice was low, no emotion could be heard.

"Didn't you hear, Guan Guan and the bird just said, no appointment."
