The iced cola that he obviously liked was replaced, but Lu Shiqing was inexplicably happy, smiling while drinking milk.As if he thought the milk stayed in his mouth for too short a time, he even licked his lips to taste the aftertaste, so that the sweet taste of milk would stay on his tongue longer.

In fact, he doesn't like sweet drinks so much, but now he thinks the sweet milk in the cup is the best drink in the world, and it also has the effect of dispelling fatigue and soothing the mood.

After Lu Shiqing finished eating, he turned his head to look at Chen Fang, and his eyes followed the figure busy between the front desk and the food pick-up port like chasing the light.

He found that when handing the plate to the customer, Chen Fang would always smile with the corner of his mouth curled up, but it was probably just out of professional courtesy.A pair of eyes not only remained calm, but even seemed to sneak a few glances in his direction.

These few glances were like invisible traction, Lu Shiqing finally waited until there was no one at the front desk, and immediately came to him and called out: "This handsome guy."

"This customer, what do you need?" Chen Fang responded very professionally, and returned with a smile similar to that just now, except that the corners of his eyes were bent downward in a very small arc.

In Lu Shiqing's eyes, it was a world of difference. It was much more beautiful than the smirk just now.

Chen Fang always smiled at him like this.

"Hey, cannibals are short-mouthed and soft-handed." Lu Shiqing straightened his back, leaned against the counter and looked at Chen Fang, "If you have anything to do, just tell me."

"It's just a supper, not hard work." Chen Fang walked out of the counter to clean up the garbage on Lu Shiqing's table, and said to him, "It's getting late, let's go back to school."

"I don't plan to go back tonight." Lu Shiqing followed beside Chen Fang, helping to swipe the ball of paper on the table into the trash can, "Send you home, how about it?"

Chen Fang paused for a moment when he tidied up his things, and then continued tidying the dining table as if nothing had happened.

Knowing that Chen Fang had already taken this proposal into consideration, Lu Shiqing followed suit and said, "You want to give me the bicycle, and it won't be dawn until you walk back in the middle of the night? Besides, my car is stable and fast, and I don't want to experience it again. ?”

"Are you promoting yourself?" Chen Fang smiled and turned to look at Lu Shiqing.

"Ah, let's just think so." Lu Shiqing raised an eyebrow at Chen Fang, "So boss, do you agree?"

"It seems that I'm a bit stupid not to buy it." Chen Fang took off his work clothes, walked into the small room behind the counter, and left a sentence: "Wait for me to get off, I'll take a shift with them."

When another round-faced girl in overalls was standing behind the counter, Lu Shiqing and Chen Fang walked out of the door.

Outside is a small night market similar to a pedestrian street, and there are many people at night. The colored lights on the shop plaques change colors and dangle, and there are several strong rhythmic music mixed together, which is deafening and lively. .

Lu Shiqing looked around, and when she was about to subconsciously step on the bicycle seat, she heard Chen Fang say, "I'm not in a hurry to go home. If you want to walk around here, I can accompany you."

"Don't turn around, walk with me for a while." Lu Shiqing retracted the leg that had straddled the bicycle bar, pushed the bicycle forward slowly, turned to look at Chen Fang beside him, and asked: "You come to work every night ah?"

"That's right." Chen Fang looked at the slowly turning front wheel of the bicycle, seemed to be in a daze for a moment, then came back to his senses and smiled, "Didn't I tell you that you will be deducted for absenteeism, I feel very distressed."

"Heipi tonight... I mean Wang Li, the group of people he brought..." Lu Shiqing paused for a moment, his brows furrowed unconsciously, "Do you also trouble you outside the school?"

"Occasionally." Chen Fang's tone was light, as if he didn't care, "I usually ride a bicycle on the main road, there are many people, and they don't dare to make a scene."

"We've completely annoyed him this time." Lu Shiqing clicked his tongue and sighed again, "What if later..."

"It's okay." Chen Fang interrupted Lu Shiqing, turned to look at him and smiled, "I have experienced so many times, as long as I don't meet him head-on, I probably have a way to escape."

So many times, I met head-on and escaped.

Seeing Chen Fang say these words with a smile, Lu Shiqing felt very uncomfortable.

The corners of his mouth were obviously curled up, but there seemed to be an emotion called fear leaking out of his eyes, which gradually accumulated and formed a layer of water vapor, making his eyes foggy.

If only I could wipe it off for him.

"Let's ride." Chen Fang walked around behind Lu Shiqing and patted the seat, "It's time to get on the road."

Lu Shiqing responded, and waited for Chen to sit firmly behind before stepping on the pedals.

The speed of the car was not very slow, and the wind was whistling in his ears, but Lu Shiqing still vaguely heard Chen Fang's sniffling sound, not sure if it was cold or crying, but he didn't dare to ask.

Would such a person who could even pretend to be bullied and tell it with a smile cry?

If so, let him hide behind his back and cry quietly for a while.

At every fork in the road, Lu Shiqing would slow down and silently wait for Chen Fang to give him an order.

At first, Chen Fang guided him with a muffled voice, but later he stopped speaking, and the way of guiding him was to pull his clothes.Lu Shiqing also understood by heart, whichever clothes Chen Fang pulled, he would turn in that direction.

After tugging four or five times, the car carrying two people entered a dilapidated and desolate street. Chen Fang patted his back lightly to signal him to stop.

Before Lu Shiqing had time to react, he pressed the brakes hard. Due to inertia, the people behind him hit his back.

It didn't hurt much, it was even soft, but it still knocked Lu Shiqing into a daze.It wasn't until the arm around his waist that was loosened to reduce the impact and slowly slipped down his clothes that Lu Shiqing came back to his senses.

"That... I'm sorry, I braked too fast." Lu Shiqing turned to look at Chen Fang who got out of the car. There was no emotion on his face that he shouldn't have seen, and it was still the same as usual.

If the light was bright enough, Lu Shiqing might be able to see some pink on his cheeks.

"It's okay." Chen Fang lowered his head and smiled, "You... have a strong back."

Lu Shiqing also laughed and said, "Okay, let's go home."

"En." Chen Fang agreed, but he didn't move his feet. He paused for a long time before continuing, "You should go back quickly."

"You don't want to miss me, do you?" Seeing that Chen Fang hadn't moved for a long time, Lu Shiqing pretended to be relaxed and teased Chen Fang. In fact, his heart was clear as to who was really reluctant.

As for his words, Chen Fang just laughed, and did not give any other response, admit or deny.

"Then... I'll go first." Lu Shiqing stepped on the pedals, "Good night."

"Good night." Chen Fang replied, without watching Lu Shiqing leave, he turned and entered the stairs.

Seeing Chen Fang's figure being engulfed in the darkness little by little, Lu Shiqing lowered his foot on the stirrups, his two long legs drooped on both sides of the bicycle, and swung forward step by step.

The old neighborhood is extremely desolate, even if there are street lamps sticking beside the road, there are more dark ones than bright ones, and it is too dim to see clearly.The asphalt road under his feet was crushed into gravel, and he could still feel the pain through the soles of his shoes, and the bicycle kept bumping along with it.

Lu Shiqing didn't know what he was lingering on this desolate street in the middle of the night. When he moved the car and people to the bright streetlight not far away, he sighed in disappointment before stepping on his feet again. pedal.

Just as he was about to leave, a sharp female voice suddenly sounded, piercing the silent air like a knife, and then pouring hysterical scolding and the harsh sound of glass breaking into the passing wind.

Lu Shiqing looked in the direction of the source of the sound, and after a short while, a thin figure spewed out from the darkness, like a wandering soul, even the vague outline revealed loneliness.

Until the dim light of the street lamp cast down from above the man, the shadow of the ground shrank into a ball and was trampled under his feet, the light leaking from the gaps in the hair only illuminated half of his face, the chin and mouth were hidden in the high raised under the collar.

Seemingly aware of a person straddling a bicycle not far away, the person slowly raised his head, and then froze in place, only then did Lu Shiqing see the person's face clearly.

It was the first time he saw Chen Fang like this, his eyes were empty and frightening, empty.

It was as if the last ray of light had been swallowed inside.

Just like that, the two found each other across a distance of a street light, but neither of them said anything, they just watched quietly.

I don't know how long it took, Chen Fang lowered his head, and then he squatted down, hugging his knees and curling up into a ball as if he had been drained of strength.

A series of strange circumstances led to this strange result.

Lu Shiqing couldn't figure out what happened, and he didn't have time to think about what he could and should do.

Looking at Chen Fang's small black shadow on the ground, he just turned the direction of the bicycle silently, moved slowly to Chen Fang's side, and looked down at his bent, slightly trembling back.

"Get in the car."
