casual and fun

Anyone who listened could understand that Lin Li's answer was equivalent to a veiled admission, but Yang Sile didn't know how to proceed.

During the ten days he lived in Beijing, he would occasionally go to the school intranet to look through previous posts, trying to figure out the timeline when Lin Li joined the administrator group.

However, the evaluation of Lin Li in the discussion forum was always negative. It was only after their freshman year of high school that the discussion enthusiasm showed a normal downward trend, and there was no turning point.

Yang Sile endured the discomfort and read those popular posts from floor to floor. It was really difficult to connect the "bitch", "black fungus", "evil girl", and "warden" in their mouths with the seniors he knew. .

He followed the vine to the documentary area, searched for old posts from the end of the year before last with different keywords, studied for the whole afternoon, and finally pieced together a general idea of ​​what happened to Lin Li in the last semester of his first year of high school.

According to the screenshot evidence posted by the host of the documentary post, Lin Li once had a brief relationship with people in the society after graduating from junior high school, but she found it boring within a few days of high school and dumped him without any regrets.

People in the society are very social, and they still couldn't swallow this breath, so they kept trying to harass Lin Li.He didn't know who he borrowed the account from, and he posted a post on the school's intranet, talking about the details of their love, and even hung a candid photo of Lin Li's bed in the front row of the post, crying "I love you" and threatening "" Either get back together or die in love together."

Lin Li was four years younger than him. At that time, she was just a 15-year-old girl who had just bid farewell to Children's Day. She followed the trend and fell in love with others casually.

She registered a vest llinli real-name thread to refute the love details fabricated by her ex-boyfriend one by one:

One, her family is not poor, and she has never spent a penny of that man's money, and she is always AA when she goes out to eat and play video games;

Second, she did not hide her age to deceive people's feelings, and it is not her fault to be admired;

Third, the so-called "bed photo" was taken by her friend on the day she received the admission notice from Yinzhong, and she drank too much at a party.In the original picture, a pig's head was drawn on her right face, but it was removed by someone with ulterior motives.

She reasonably suspected that this pervert had gone through her phone without her permission and stolen her privacy.

Yang Sile clicked on the "original picture" in the building, but it didn't fail, and he could still see it.

As Lin Li said, there is indeed a cute pig's head painted with a black marker pen on the right side of her face.In this photo, the shadow of the photographer is also left on the pure white quilt, obviously a girl with long hair.

Both of these important differences were removed in post-processing.

Yang Sile thought that Lin Li had proved himself to this point, and the criticism and prejudice against her should be stopped in moderation.However, he was still too young, and instead of the situation developing in the direction he expected, on the contrary, there were waves and intensified——

"reallinli" appeared on the school intranet, and the students were very excited that the two parties could confront each other face to face.

Everyone rushed to tell each other, called friends and companions, chattered, and was overjoyed.The series of vicious but unknowing words left on the webpage are not like describing an unfamiliar classmate at the same school, but more like cursing a stupid relative who was brainwashed by MLM organization with close friends, not at all Besides, there is no room left.

Those who don't know will take a look at it, and they may think that this "Lin Li" cheated money at a young age to have an abortion and instigate others to commit suicide. He has degenerated to this point, and owes these Yun parents a lot.

"Actually, you can delete these posts. Anyway, it was the man who spread rumors and slandered him, and violated the school net regulations first." Yang Sile dragged his suitcase, quickly passed Xie Chen and Chen Nan, and took the opportunity to go with Lin Li. Arrived in a row.

Before he landed, Lin Li and Xie Chen went to Bar Street to ask questions all morning.Of the thirteen bars, none of them agreed to their resident singing, and there was one that could only be answered by asking the boss, so there is probably no further information.Now they have completely given up on Bar Street, and are going to find a smaller shop in a nearby alley, and discuss with the boss.

"I called the police and was beaten up by my parents. He was also punished accordingly. I don't need to pay more for this matter." Lin Li saw it. "

"More price?" Yang Sile lost his temper in the archaeological examination on the school's internal network, and felt sorry for her, "You were threatened by a pervert, and you were pointed at the nose by a classmate you didn't know, and you still can't fight back? How can there be such a thing? reason!"

"Yeah, there's no such reason." Lin Li took off the earphones and looked at Yang Sile, "Captain, to be honest, I also thought the same way as a freshman in high school. So I was a ballet dancer and read basic programming books all night. Learn how to maintain and build the website, and seize the opportunity to run for administrators, just hoping to make those stupid|force me to shut up."

Yang Sile knew that she didn't do this, because some IDs that were really excessive had not been listed on the real-name blacklist of Xiaonei.

"But when I actually signed the agreement and became a member of the website management team, I realized that to all Xiaonei users, I was just a robot who didn't need emotions."

With a relaxed expression, Lin Li led the group to turn right.

"I can't ban your words just because I don't like what you say, and I can't lock your posts just because your posts are not good for me. After all--" She lowered her head and tied her loose hair into a high ponytail , "The reason why Xiaonei has changed from the original private plot to the current garbage dump is not because we all only want to hear what we want to hear, only want to read the posts we are interested in, and only want to vent our negative emotions. At the same time, we cannot Accept that others have objections to this?"

Lin Li tied up her hair and shrugged her shoulders: "Technology is innocent, it's our fault."

The alley was very narrow, and Yang Sile followed her step by step, and couldn't help showing an expression of admiration.

Lin Li was terrified by him, and quickened his pace to warn: "Hey, I'm just pretending to be tough, I'm not as noble as you think, just for your sake, some time ago, I helped your little one through favoritism and fraud. Bundle."

She crossed her hands and said with a tsk: "I didn't expect you to beat you when you turned your head away. Why should I!"

After she learned about this at the last dinner, she suggested to the administrator team to remove the sticky announcement on the spot, but she never replied to anyone.

"Excuse me……"

Yang Sile felt very sorry.

No matter whose face it is for, Lin Li has contributed to Shi Nian, but Shi Nian will definitely not accept her love.He was caught in the middle, and no one could take care of his emotions, so he was inevitably frustrated.

Lin Li had no time to comfort the captain's dejected young heart.She finished the navigation, stood in front of the shutter door with a piece of A4 paper printed with "transfer for lease", and looked up at the dusty signboard of the shop.

"Too lazy to pick a name? Huh?"

The two who were behind also arrived.

Chen Nan questioned the name of the store, Xie Chen looked around and questioned the address: "Did you go to the wrong place?"

This store is about one kilometer away from Bar Street, sandwiched between two old-fashioned residential areas. The facade is very friendly. On the left, it says "You can find it here?", and on the right, it says "Nice".

Lin Li called the boss according to the number on the paper, and said that he wanted to have an interview with him.The boss probably has a bad temper, and his tone was a bit aggressive, which made her frown when she was listening to the phone.

"He'll be there in 10 minutes." After hanging up the phone, she told everyone, "Party A is my father, please bear with me later."

Yang Sile felt that he, the captain, was tricked into coming here: "Uh...we want to rent?"

Lin Li nodded: "It looks like it's next to the bar street, but it's actually pretty far away, and it's hard to find. The rent for the shop is not expensive, even cheaper than renting a garage. Let's save some living expenses every month and share a little for each person. It's not a problem, right? ? It’s better than going to practice together under the bridge.”

Chen Nan scratched her chin: "But we are looking for a place to perform, not a place to rehearse..."

Lin Li smiled: "How can you perform without rehearsing?"

Yang Sile was silent for a while, then he figured it out: "Since no one is willing to take us in, let's set up a stage and invite people to listen. Is that what you mean?"

"Smart." Lin Li was very pleased, and turned to look at Xie Chen, "Xie Xiaochen, what do you think?"

Xie Chen was staring at the shop signboard in a daze.

"……what?"

"Ah, what?" Lin Li lifted her chin, "I'm asking for your opinion, do you want to join the team? We're going to make a lot of money."

Xie Chen seemed to be in a bad mood, and asked gloomily, "What was this store originally for?"

Lin Li turned out the phone to confirm: "It seems to sell hot pot."

Xie Chen: "Oh."

Lin Li applied to Yang Sile: "In the future, our band will have to add an internal regulation that forbids the bass player to only speak modal particles, which sounds uncomfortable."

Xie Chen realized that he was being targeted: "Huh?"

Yang Sile sighed: "It can still be rescued, just give him a bass."

Chen Nan's mind finally turned, and he said excitedly: "Are we going to open a bar by ourselves?!"

"Are you dreaming? Can't wait to enter the juvenile prison to hold a solo concert?" Lin Li explained, "I will discuss with the boss later, and use his business license to hold the event. We will be the resident singer in name and the actual shareholder, understand. ?”

Yang Sile: "Understood."

Chen Nan: "Wonderful."

Xie Chen said indifferently: "I think the boss probably won't agree."

The three looked at him together: "Why?"

Xie Chen raised his right hand and pointed to the opposite of "too lazy to name": "There used to be a barbecue restaurant here."

Then point to the end of the alley: "The road over there was not closed before, and there is a three-story KTV on the corner."

Finally, he put his wrist on his left shoulder and pointed to the hot pot restaurant that was being transferred behind him: "livehouse. There are performances in the basement, and the first floor sells tickets, checks and rests. Although I don't know why it has become a hot pot restaurant..." He hesitated for a moment and said, " Maybe it's time for a change of boss."

Lin Li raised her eyebrows: "You know so clearly? Have you been here before?"

Xie Chen lowered his head, finished the matter with a calm "um", stopped talking, and focused on scribbling on the concrete floor with his toes.

Lin Li still wanted to ask for more information: "..."

Seeing her roll up the sleeves of her chiffon shirt, Yang Sile and Chen Nan hurriedly stopped her: "Lin Li! Calm down!"

Lin Li gritted her teeth, and was about to charge forward: "Let go of me! I have to make him correct this bad habit!"

Yang Sile's hands were still wrapped in bandages, so it was not very convenient to use force: "Sister, think about the truth you just told me! Don't do to others what you don't want to be done to others! People can't just listen to what they want to hear, Let's just vent our personal emotions, let's not be like those people in the dump!"

Lin Li was stunned for a moment, and when he met Xie Shen's unintelligible gaze, he instantly became angrier: "I'm trash! Let me beat him up!"

Chen Nan strangled her waist from behind and wailed, "I never thought that it was the first time in my life that I hugged a girl's waist, woo woo woo, it turned out to be to persuade a fight... My life is so miserable..."

Lin Li felt that her dignity as a dancer had been ruthlessly trampled on: "My height is 167 and the waist circumference is 56.1, you are miserable! You may not be able to hug a second such thin waist in eight lifetimes! Get lost!"

"What are you doing? Stop messing around in front of my shop."

When the three of them wrestled together, a sturdy young man in a white racerback riding a small battery, with a cigarette in his mouth, stood in front of them.

"What the fuck!" Chen Nan immediately let go and began to expand his chest. "We're just exercising and sweating, which is good for our health."

"It's the first time I heard that you need to exercise before visiting the store." The young man locked the battery car and opened the door with the key ring. "You guys want to rent it?"

Lin Li shook off Yang Sile's hand and tidied up his clothes: "Yes, there are four of us. Are you the boss?"

"My surname is Chen, not Lao." The young man bit his filter and pushed open the shutter door in one breath. "The store is a bit chaotic, just look at the layout."

Chen Nan's eyes lit up, and she leaned over to shake hands with the boss: "My surname is also Chen, and I'm a family!"

The boss wiped the ashes off his hands, and gave him a casual high five: "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Xie Chen didn't say a word the whole time, and after seeing the boss's face clearly, he looked even more gloomy than before. He was genuinely unhappy and brooding.

Yang Sile didn't know the reason, but thought he was having a fight with Lin Li, so he temporarily separated them and followed the boss into the store.

After seeing the inside of the store, he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

It's not just "a little messy" here, it's pretty messy at all!

Ten dusty hotpot tables were crowded crookedly in the less than [-]-square-meter storefront, and a pile of unusable chairs were piled up in the corner, and the front desk was tightly blocked.

With half a cigarette in his mouth, the boss didn't pay attention to this obstacle at all. He stretched his hands and scooped up his long legs. He easily turned into the front desk and found a contract from the drawer.

"The apartment type, area and the landlord's telephone number are all in the contract. You can see for yourself. If you have any questions, contact the landlord and don't look for me. The store looks like this. If you are sure you want to take over, I will clean up the tables, chairs and benches within a week."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the students standing in front of him, and for a moment he didn't know who to hand over the contract to first.

Chen Nan almost ran away after finishing the set, Lin Li folded his hands, leaning against the relatively clean goal post with an expression of "I have completed the task assigned to me by the organization, I have something to ask the captain", while Xie Chen was beyond everyone's expectations. expected.

When Yang Sile was about to take the contract, he walked straight up from the door of the store, picked up the contract, casually flipped through it, and asked an irrelevant question.

"Where's your bass player?"

The boss leaned against the front desk, paused with his hand shaking the soot, slowly raised his head, and looked at him with eyebrows frowned: "What bass player?"

Xie Chen didn't know why he was filled with righteous indignation.He said word by word: "I saw a performance here four years ago, the performance of Half a Smoke Band..."

"Not renting anymore."

The boss didn't let him finish.He straightened up awkwardly, withdrew the contract from Xie Chen, and issued an order to evict the guest, with a stern tone: "I won't rent anymore, you guys go."

Yang Sile didn't expect things to turn out like this, so he said calmly, "Is there something wrong..."

"No mistake."

The boss interrupted him, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and stomped on it for a while, as if he wanted to burn a hole in the ground with sparks.

He threw the contract into the front desk without even looking at Yang Sile: "Go find someone else, don't come here."

Xie Chen was as angry as a puffer fish, his thin shoulders heaving and falling: "I only wanted to form a band after seeing your performance."

The words that were spoken carried a sense of grievance.

The boss put his elbows on the front desk behind him, and suddenly hooked the corners of his lips: "How many of you are playing in a band?"

Yang Sile nodded: "So I want to discuss with you, see if we can hold a performance here."

The boss smiled contemptuously for a while: "You can't even open a hot pot restaurant here, and you still want to start a band? Hey, hey, it's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and purely treats himself as a two hundred and five."

Xie Chen secretly clenched his fists to barely maintain the most basic etiquette, and did not yell at him.

"Is that what you said to the long-haired bass player back then?" He looked at the former lead singer of the band and now the owner of the hot pot restaurant aggressively and asked aggressively, "When you wrote songs together, you also felt that you were a Two hundred and five?"

Lin Li saw the boss's murderous aura leaking out, and the dark clouds in his brows pressed down on the situation, so he hurried over and pulled Xie Chen away: "Xie Chen, come out for a while."

It was rare for Xie Chen to be so impulsive, he felt very refreshed and happy.He shook Lin Li's hand away, and asked the boss sharply: "How many years have passed? How many songs have only been released by half a cigarette? You..."

"Just?" The boss suddenly leaned back and kicked the hot pot table next to him fiercely, "How many years did you fucking say?!"

The hot pot table fell to the ground innocently, causing a chain reaction, and the shop crackled for a long time before returning to silence.

The boss's face was flushed, and the veins on his neck were bulging, obviously furious.However, his voice was very soft and slow.

"Little friend, let me tell you," he put his hands into his trouser pockets, staring at Xie Chen with a sarcasm, "You don't count time like this."

"Four years is enough for him to break up with me [-] times, take the national exam three times, get married countless times, and get married once." He shook out a new cigarette from the cigarette case, put it between his lips and lit it, "After you have experienced it all once, and you can't wait for any results, come and tell me that four years is not long."
