Gui Gongzi [Green Snake]

Xie Xin has been feeling a little uncomfortable recently.

This matter has to start two days ago, when he finished the college entrance examination that day, he didn’t go back to school like other students and tore up all the papers and reference books in his dormitory, and scattered them like snowflakes flying all over the sky to express " The joy and excitement of the Great Liberation of the People.

He chose a more soothing and sentimental way. He put all the private money he had saved for a long time in the card, and went to 'Fox Play' to buy an antique that he had wanted for a long time.

It was a folding fan. When Xie Xin passed by 'Fox Play', he looked at the fan outside the door for a long time. For some reason, he always liked it very much.

However, the price of things in this antique shop is quite high. Although he has a good family background, he doesn't really want to ask his family for money, so this purchase is also determined and costly.

That day, he happened to be in the same exam room as two classmates, and he stopped by to buy things after the exam.

The problem is that in this store, there came out a particularly domineering handsome guy, a tall, muscular tough handsome guy, who didn't know what relationship he had with the shop owner, so he just opened his mouth and said that the antique should belong to him.

This handsome guy is extremely generous in his shots, and he is very familiar with himself when talking to him.

Originally, Xie Xin didn't like to have such in-depth chats with people he met for the first time, but this man named Pei Wende was very proficient in classical books and poems. This conversation aroused Xie Xin's desire and desire to communicate. The two even chatted all the way, and when Xie Xin recovered, he was asked for his phone number by the other party.

During this period, his two alumni seemed to have seen a ghost, and before they parted, they shouted: "We, Colonel Xie, can actually chat so happily with people, omg, is it love at first sight? Our Fan Xiaohua doesn't get that kind of treatment." !!"

Xie Xin could only say: "Don't make trouble! It's rare to meet someone who has a common topic, so don't make trouble."

"There's no fuss, do you know how the girls describe you in private? Move the iceberg, because you don't talk much, so it's not easy to chat and hook up." Wang Xuan, a classmate, spoke plausibly and made a serious point.

Xie Xin thought, return the iceberg, waiting to be hit and maimed by the Titanic?

"He is a very knowledgeable person, and it is interesting to chat with him." Xie Xin simply explained that he is very interested in ancient Chinese poetry. He has enough energy to study, and he will read some ancient books, so that he can recite a few poems that suit the occasion on weekdays. He is very happy to try to write some parallel essays and quatrains for submission, and he will still be favored for publication.

But now, few of his peers are interested in this, which makes him lack a common topic of enthusiasm when communicating with others. Over time, he has also created his image of "not talking".

The happiest thing in the world is meeting a bosom friend in the mountains and rivers. Xie Xin should be happy, but his eyes and nose have been uncomfortable since that day.

I went to see a doctor, and they all said: I am not sick.

Xie Xin was a little helpless, sitting on the sofa at home watching TV and rubbing her nose.

At this time, Xie Yi came back and said first: "Brother, I'm back."

Then he changed his shoes and put his schoolbag neatly, but when he passed by the living room, he found Xie Xin's eyes were red and he kept rubbing his nose. He came up nervously and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you allergic?"

"I don't know. It started after the exam that afternoon. My nose was itchy and my eyes were sore. I went to the doctor for a check-up and said there was no problem." When Xie Xin spoke, she found that her nasal voice was very heavy, as if she had caught a cold.

Xie Yi frowned and looked around, and finally commented: "You look like you just cried."

"Ah?" Xie Xin heard it, and thinking about it, she felt like, the feeling of soreness in her nasal cavity was like the feeling of wanting to cry but unable to cry, and it was very uncomfortable to hold back.

"I remember there are onions in the refrigerator, why don't you try some, maybe you'll cry." Xie Yi suggested.

Xie Xin obediently went to get the onions.

Pushing aside a few slices with his hands, he brought them closer to his eyes, and instantly a pungent smell rushed in. Xie Xin immediately closed his eyes, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

"How is it?" Xie Yi asked while leaning against the kitchen door.

"Spicy eyes, woo woo woo..." Xie Xin covered her face in pain, tears streaming down her face.

Suddenly, his cell phone rang, and the young boy who was squatting on the ground and weeping struggled to stand up again to answer the phone.

"Hello?" Xie Xin called, and found that her voice had a strong nasal sound.

There was silence on the phone for a long time before he said, "Are you crying?"

"Ah?" Xie Xin was taken aback for a moment, and then recalled who the familiar voice was, "Onion eyes are fine, you are... Pei Wende?"

"Ah."

The man's voice was calm, giving people a sense of peace of mind. Xie Xin listened, and the sour feeling at the tip of his nose gradually subsided. Xie Xin cleared his throat and returned to his usual tone: "Is there something wrong?"

"I happened to find the few Yuan Dynasty rare books you mentioned last time at home, do you want to have a look?"

Hearing the deep voice of the other party, and the sound of pages being turned over there, Xie Xin could still think of the handsome and steady appearance of the other party, with his head slightly lowered, his slender and powerful hands turning the pages of the book, his dark eyes carefully looking at the words, Thin lips parted slightly and talked to himself on the phone.

Thinking of this, Xie Xin was stunned for a moment, thinking about why he had to think about the other party's state so carefully, especially when thinking about the other party's face and thin lips, his face felt slightly hot.

He couldn't help shaking his head, and immediately said: "Yes, is it? Great, let's meet sometime, I just said it casually, I didn't expect you to find it."

A smile escaped from the throat of the man on the other end of the phone: "I also happen to have these in my collection, so how about it, let's meet at the xx coffee shop on xx road at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning."

Xie Xin took a pen and paper to write down carefully, said a few more words and hung up the phone.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Xie Yi crossing his arms and looking at him with a malicious smile on his face.

"What are you doing?" Xie Xin rubbed her nose, feeling a little embarrassed to be stared at.

"Who is it?" Xie Yi raised his chin.

"a friend."

“哦——”自家弟弟带着欠揍的笑容，悠哉道“有约会了啊？我深居简出的哥哥也情窦初开了？”

"Fuck you." Xie Xin snorted, picked up the sofa cushion with his backhand, chased and beat his little brother, and made him jump up and down all over the room.

The next day, Xie Xin wore a simple white shirt, jeans and sneakers, took his backpack and went out.

The coffee shop that Pei Wende mentioned is about two stops away from his residence, and it is very convenient to have a bus just outside the door.

It was only 9:45 when Xie Xin got off the bus. He thought it would be a bad idea to come early so as not to be late for the bus, but just a few hundred meters away from the destination, he keenly saw Pei Wende standing at the door.

That handsome appearance and tall figure are too eye-catching, Xie Xin will never admit his mistake.

Unexpectedly, the other party also came early.

He was about to go up to say hello, but found that Pei Wende was not alone.

A very fashionable young man with maroon highlights was also walking in front of Pei Wende. The young man seemed a little depressed, grabbed Pei Wende's strong forearm, and when he raised his face, his narrow and long eyes were infinitely miserable. Kind of gorgeous feeling.

Pei Wende didn't intend to shake off that hand, and quietly listened to the other party's words. At the end, he patted the other party's shoulder in a reassuring manner.

Xie Xin subconsciously hid behind the wall, carefully poked his head out to look at the two, but couldn't hear what the other was saying.

The two talked for about 10 minutes, and the young man waved at Fa Hai and left in a daze.

Xie Xin looked confused, then straightened her clothes and came out, then looked up to see Pei Wende entering the coffee shop.

He didn't know why he wanted to hide and peek, but he just felt weird.

But after thinking about it for a while, Xie Xin took a deep breath, pretended to be nonchalant, and walked into the coffee shop.

Forget it, that was the other party's private matter, he and Pei Wende had just known each other for a day or two, why bother with it so much?

Pushing open the door of the coffee shop, Xie Xin saw the man sitting by the window for the first time.

The other party was wearing business casual attire. From Xie Xin's perspective, he could see the other party's handsome side face and the pair of envious long legs under the table.

Pei Wende said that he was a businessman, but he served it like this, and he could say that he was a celebrity. Many girls and waiters passing by were secretly looking at this handsome and tall man.

So, Xie Xin walked over in a big way.

"You're here, please sit down?" Pei Wende saw Xie Xin, his eyes lit up, and he invited him to take a seat.

"You came very early." Xie Xin took off her schoolbag and sat opposite Fa Hai.

The boy's bones are even. The first time I saw him two days ago, he was wearing a school uniform. The plain clothes looked limp. Now the boy's slender legs are wrapped in jeans, and the white shirt makes his complexion fair. A bit agile, Fa Hai thought, the other party really fits in white clothes, the elegant color sets off Xie Xin's temperament.

"I got up early, so I just came here." Fa Hai smiled, and handed a paper package to Xie Xin, "Let's have a look."

Xie Xin took it, opened the rare book and carefully flipped through it. At this moment, the waiter stepped forward and said, "What do you need?"

"A cup of black tea, how about you, Ah Xin?" Fa Hai asked.

"Ah?" Xie Xin looked up, and the voice of Ah Xin was extremely proficient, as if she was very used to it, "Bai Mocha."

"Okay, wait a minute~"

Watching the waiter go down, Xie Xin asked curiously, "Don't you drink coffee?"

I came to the coffee shop but ordered tea, which is really not much.

"I'm not used to that taste yet. Tea is more suitable for me." Fa Hai spread his hands to express his helplessness, and seeing Xie Xin holding a rare book that he couldn't put it down, he said, "It is reasonable to say that there are very few children of your age who like to study ancient books. I know The few students who have finished their college entrance examinations just soaked in the Internet cafes and refused to come out in the dark, and there are very few students like you who read quietly like you."

"I don't play games on the Internet very much," Xie Xin blinked. "Although I do, I don't have much interest. My brother often laughs at me as an old man, and looking at old things is always surprisingly kind."

Hearing that Xie Xin had a younger brother, Fa Hai's face softened a lot, and he sighed: "This is the first time you mentioned your family to me."

Xie Xin closed the book and asked curiously, "Is Mr. Pei from the capital? It sounds a bit southern."

"I am based in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but because of business, I travel all over the country."

"Ah, isn't it rare to go home?"

"It's nothing, I don't have a family, and I don't need to go back often." Fa Hai replied lightly.

Xie Xin listened and was stunned for a while.

no family...

Can that be understood as having no parents, wives... and no relationship?

It sounds very lonely.

Xie Xin put down the book. At this time, the waiter was serving black tea and mocha to the table for the two of them.

"Well, how long will Mr. Pei stay in the capital?" Xie Xin asked after thinking about it.

"There is a long-term business at present, and I will stay for a long time." Fahai replied, and then said, "Farewell to Mr. Pei, Mr. Pei, just call Wende."

"Oh... Then, my name is Brother Pei, you are older than me." Xie Xin said a little obediently, seeing that the other party agreed, and then said, "Brother Pei, I have been here since I was a child. There are many interesting places in the capital. If you feel bored, I'll take you to play, otherwise idleness is idleness."

Anyway, he just finished his exams, so he has a lot of free time.

The tall man looked at Xie Xin for a while, and then said, "Okay."

With a little joy, Xie Xin used the coffee shop's wifi to quickly plan out what to play today.

The other party is a person who loves to drink tea and like ancient books. The garden must be very suitable for the other party. I want to go to the Summer Palace to see, and then go to the Temple of Heaven. There are too many people on the Great Wall...

However, when Xie Xin and Fa Hai walked out of the coffee shop side by side, Xie Xin's series of plans were interrupted in an instant.

Several cars parked on the side of the road, the windows rolled down, and then someone waved to Xie Xin: "Xie Xin—look here!"

Xie Xin looked over, and it turned out to be a classmate in the class.

"I disappeared as soon as I finished the exam, and I couldn't find you in class activities!" The class leader pulled Xie Xin and chattered, "This time we also invited a few alumni to play together, and you should go and see together , and the senior you admire a lot, who is now a double bachelor at University A, named Xu Zhu!"

After speaking, the squad leader saw that there was someone beside Xie Xin.

This man is really tall...

"Who is this?" The squad leader looked at Fa Hai curiously.

"My friend, I plan to take him to play together." Xie Xin replied.

"Oh... how about you take your friend with you, we have a lot of space in this car, you two can just be Xiao Ran's, and today we will go to Houhai to play."

"This..." Xie Xin looked at Fa Hai with some hesitation. These guys would definitely go to bars in Houhai. Brother Pei probably wouldn't like that place, would he?He didn't like it very much himself, but this time Xu Zhuzai.

Unexpectedly, Fa Hai spoke first: "It's okay, let's go and have a look together."

Xie Xin turned into a smile: "Okay, then just take my classmate's car."

The squad leader is a very talkative person, with him, the atmosphere in the car will not be lost.

Xiao Ran was driving, Xie Xin and Fa Hai sat side by side in the back seat, chatting with the class monitor, during which Fa Hai glanced at Xie Xin.

It's not an illusion. When mentioning that senior Xu Zhu, Xie Xin showed a strong sense of appreciation and excitement. Fa Hai had never seen such an expression.

Oh, I don't know where it is sacred.

Thinking of this, Fa Hai's eyes darkened a lot.

Although Houhai is very famous as a bar street, it is also a very beautiful place during the day.

The white covered bridge is close to the water, and on the other side is a row of ancient buildings. In summer, the water is full of blue lotus, and the lotus is like a beauty with white and rosy cheeks.

A group of students clamored to charter a boat for a swim, walked around the waterside, and went shopping in the old street. After playing like this, it was 4 or 5 in the afternoon. Xie Xin had been walking side by side with Fahai. There is not much talk in the class, and it is often the classmates who make troubles. He listens calmly in it, does not participate but does not leave the group.

Fa Hai told Xie Xin the anecdotes related to Hou Hai that he had known for a hundred years, and the other party was fascinated by what he heard, and he didn't care about other things.

The legendary Xu Zhu senior will go to the bar to wait for them later, until six o'clock in the afternoon, those bars will light up colorful lights one after another, signaling the arrival of nightlife.

The nightlife in the bar is very attractive to this group of children who have just escaped the pressure of the college entrance examination. They flock to the predetermined theme bar, and there is already music floating in it.

"Hi! Comrades! This is your venue tonight, feel free to get high—"

The host was also a student, and it seemed that he was acting impromptu. He held the microphone in his hand and let out a howl, immediately detonating the long-standing passion of the students.

Xie Xin looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, and was still a little dazed. Beside him, Fa Hai watched the audience for a week, and his eyes stayed on a young man.

The other party was sitting on the edge of the bar, with a glass of cocktail in front of him, drinking lightly, as if he had nothing to do with the lively atmosphere around him.

Fa Hai was about to take a closer look, but the other party suddenly looked at him, and a pair of long and narrow eyes glanced at him sharply.

...is a character.

Fa Hai thought, he also felt a trace of evil spirit, if he guessed correctly, this guy is of mixed blood.

"Senior Xu Zhu." Suddenly, Xie Xin beside him seemed to have discovered a new continent, just like the young man walked over.

Fa Hai snorted in his heart.

It turned out that Senior Xu Zhu was this guy.

He originally wanted to go with Xie Xin, but at this moment, his cell phone rang.

Looking at the number, he frowned, then looked at Xie Xin who was going away, went out anyway, and connected: "Hey, what's the matter?"

"...Fahai..." The voice on the other side of the phone was very low, as if he was suppressing something.

"What's wrong with you?" Fa Hai heard the other party's hoarse voice, guessed that the other party was in some trouble, and came to him for help.

"Just like what I said in the morning...I'm having an affair with the capital..." The young man gritted his teeth and laughed softly when he was so nervous.

"How are you? Do you need help?" Fa Hai suddenly felt that he should trust the other party once in the morning and go to investigate the place with him, but he has already made an appointment with Xie Xin, and he will be with Xie Xin all day today.

"Open the spell I gave you... find an inconspicuous place..." The other party seemed to have been hit hard, and let out a muffled grunt.

Fa Hai didn't care about anything else. Seeing that there were no passers-by around, the group of students behind him were playing in the store, so he went straight to the alley next to the bar, opened the paper talisman given by the other party in the morning, bit his finger and dripped a drop. blood on it.

The paper talisman flashed red for a while, and in the next second, it exploded with a "boom".

A puff of smoke rose, and a fashionable young man with maroon highlights and earrings—Xiaoqing fell directly to the ground, rolled around, and lay there in a state of embarrassment, gasping lowly, unable to even stand up.

"Why are you in such a mess?" Fa Hai waved away the smoke and was about to step forward to help him up.

Suddenly, Fa Hai felt a cold gaze sweeping over him from behind, like a snake, sending a chill down his spine.

A voice tinged with anger came from the entrance of the alley, saying coldly: "Go away, don't touch him."

Fahai paused and looked at the other party.

At the entrance of the alley, the refined and gentle Xu Zhu stood there, looking at him holding Xiaoqing's hand with his eyes, as if he was about to spew fire.
