Dong Yu had to take an overnight train to arrive in Beijing, but because it was a temporary idea, he only bought a station ticket.There were many people traveling during the Spring Festival travel season. Dong Yu managed to squeeze in with a box of frozen pears and persimmons. After he stuffed the box under a certain seat, he followed the crowd to the end of the carriage and stood in the bathroom. A cigarette was lit at the door.Dong Yu usually doesn't smoke very much, but only when he is upset will he take a moment to think about it appropriately.

Before the train whistled, Dong Yu stood in front of the door on the other side and looked out.I haven't seen him for two years, and I don't know what this kid Dong Jinfeng has become.When Dong Jinfeng first went to Beijing to study, he still called him often. Maybe it was because the courses in the past two years were relatively tight, or because he was thinking about graduation, and the phone contact between the two became less and less.

Dong Yu took out his mobile phone from his pocket, turned on the screen and checked the time. If nothing unexpected happened, he would arrive at noon tomorrow.Dong Yu's slender fingers touched the fuselage, and suddenly remembered that the phone was quite old.When Dong Jinfeng went out to study, for convenience, he spent [-] yuan to buy three copies, and each of the three brothers and sisters had one copy.This mobile phone is not smart, in addition to sending text messages and making calls, at most you can play Snake. Dong Yu himself doesn't care, but with the development of society and economy, digital electronic products are updated so fast, such mobile phones are no longer will be loved by people.

Dong Jinfeng has always been a thrifty kid, and Dong Yu is very sure that he didn't change his phone.In this way, Dong Yu felt that it was difficult for him. There are many good conditions in the university. Let him go out with such a mobile phone, isn't he waiting to be "treated differently" by others.

Dong Yu still has some money in his hand now, so he changed his mind now, and changed Dong Jinfeng's smartphone when he arrived in Beijing.The train waited on the platform for about 15 minutes, and finally blew its whistle and headed for the heart of the motherland.After all, Dong Yu didn't have a seat, and this night's journey obviously became a "suffering".The train passed one city after another, shuttling like a dragon among the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas of the motherland.In the middle of the night, Dong Yu walked through the crowd to look at his frozen persimmons and frozen pears. They didn't melt much, and they could last all the way to Beijing.

Early morning was the hardest time. Dong Yuyun's eyelids were twitching. Because he had looked at the pears and persimmons that were waiting for him earlier, his original place was taken away.Dong Yu finally waited until someone moved his nest, and hurriedly sat on the sink, leaning against the frosted car window and fell asleep.

Dong Yu was cautious when doing things since he was a child. Since he dared to sleep, he was not afraid of thieves thinking about it, let alone the carriage where it was difficult to move an inch.Dong Yu woke up again, it was already dawn, and he was in a daze for several hours before the train finally pulled into the Beijing platform.Dong Yu had been to Beijing a few times before, most of which were home specialties given by Dong Jinfeng, so he was quite familiar with the road conditions.

Dong Yu carried the suitcase out of the platform and was about to call Dong Jinfeng.He dialed the phone, but no one answered it. Dong Yu couldn't help but feel a little regretful. The result of wanting to be pleasantly surprised is to stand on the street facing the wind.Dong Yu dialed several times but no one answered. Dong Yu had no choice but to find a small hotel nearby and settle down temporarily.

Now is the Spring Festival, the school must be on holiday, Dong Yu can't be stupid enough to go to the school to find someone.Dong Yu discussed the price with the hotel owner, and finally settled the deal at 35 yuan, and he could rest for five hours.Dong Yu entered the room without doing anything, went straight to the bed and threw himself on the bed, fell asleep immediately after touching the pillow.

Dong Yu didn't know how long he slept in the dark, but he was woken up by the phone call.Sitting up with his head fluttering, he answered the phone, "Hello."

"Third brother, did you call me?"

Dong Yu said angrily, "You're still calling, you bastard. I'm in the hotel right now. Come and pick me up." Dong Yu wanted to find him, but after another thought, I was his brother after all. Still needed.

"Have you come to Beijing?"

"What? Can't you?"

Dong Jinfeng said excitedly: "Brother, tell me the address, and I'll go there right away."

After Dong Yu reported the address, he hung up the phone, and Dong Jinfeng came within 10 minutes.Dong Yu solemnly threw the box to Dong Jinfeng, while he walked out of the hotel in a big way.Dong Jinfeng followed behind with a suitcase on his shoulders, "Brother, why are you here, and what's in this suitcase?"

Dong Yu turned around and smiled, "I brought you frozen pears and frozen persimmons, I know you like them the most."

Dong Jinfeng was surprised and said: "How did you bring it here? It's so far away that you have to melt it." Dong Jinfeng carefully checked the box, but there was not a drop of water.

"Don't talk nonsense, find a place to eat first, I'm starving to death."

Dong Jinfeng does not live in the school now, but finds a basement outside, which costs 280 yuan a month. Dong Jinfeng said that the room is small and damp, but the only saving grace is that it is "warm in winter and cool in summer".Dong Yu felt very uncomfortable hearing this, sniffed and didn't speak.

Dong Jinfeng found a nearby small restaurant that serves Sichuan cuisine. After the two brothers sat down, Dong Jinfeng quickly took out a frozen pear from the box and gnawed on it.While eating, he said symbolically, "It's delicious, third brother, I haven't eaten it for a long time, I miss it."

"Eat without eating, be careful of stomach pain." Dong Yu turned around to greet the waiter, and ordered a few large dishes. Sliced ​​boiled pork and grilled fish are must-orders.

Dong Jinfeng felt distressed when he saw it, "Brother, do you know the prices in Beijing? These two dishes are enough for my food expenses for a week."

Dong Yu felt even more uncomfortable now, and stretched out his hand to punch Dong Jinfeng on the shoulder, "Diligence and thrift are worth advocating, but I didn't let you suffer yourself, how did you explain it to a poor family, you still go to college Well, it’s not as thorough as your brother and I with a technical secondary school degree.” Dong Yu looked at Dong Jinfeng’s clothes, the clothes were not new, the style was old-fashioned, and they were no different from the faded jeans on his own.

Dong Yu lowered his head, "Brother will stay with you in Beijing for two days, and I will leave some money for you when you leave. Don't make yourself miserable when you go out. There is also the basement. Don't rent it in the future. It's not good for your health."

Dong Jinfeng was afraid that Dong Yu would think too much, so he hurriedly said, "Third brother, you don't know how fast housing prices in Beijing are rising now. It costs one or two thousand to rent a bedroom. I can't afford it for your brother. Besides, I want that Isn’t it you who are extravagant and tired?”

Dong Yu was moved, and felt that he had been treated badly, "You know you love me, so study hard and repay me with your grades." Dong Yu didn't want to continue this topic, and those who celebrate the New Year should say something happy .When the food was on the table, Dong Yugang wanted to ask him where he worked, when he suddenly heard Dong Jinfeng say to the waiter, "Four bottles of beer."

Dong Yu was taken aback, "When did you learn to drink?"

Dong Jinfeng said with a smile: "The students in the dormitory often drink and take me with them every time. In order not to be excluded, I can only drink."

Dong Yu understands that a university is equivalent to half of society, and one must be sophisticated in dealing with people so as not to offend others, although most of these people will not be needed after graduation.Dong Yu didn't criticize him, but instead poured himself a glass of wine, and when he was about to drink it, Dong Jinfeng snatched it away, "Brother, you can't drink it, I can't drink well, you have to be responsible for carrying me back."

Dong Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "If you want to say that I can't drink enough, just say so. It's boring to beat around the bush." ​​Dong Yu listened to Dong Jinfeng's words very much under certain special circumstances. After all, as a college student, his perspective was wider than his , think more far-reaching.

Dong Yu really didn't drink, but watched Dong Jinfeng drink cup after cup. After a while, two bottles of wine entered his stomach, and he was drunk.Dong Jinfeng's wine quality is really not that good, and when he was drunk, he started talking nonsense, staring at Dong Yu with drunken eyes, "Brother, do you know why I don't want to go home? Because I hate that home, except for you and Fourth Sister, I don't want to see it." Come to them." After another drink, he continued, "Brother, I've always been very surprised that other people's homes are always the youngest being hurt, why did it change when we came to our house?" Dong Jinfeng half-lyed on the table, holding the wine glass Said: "You said, did we all pick it up?"

Dong Yu didn't want to stop him from speaking, and if no one spoke for a long time, he might be overwhelmed.Dong Yu didn't know why Dong Jinfeng always said that he was picked up because his father was against his elder brother?Dong Yu has never been willing to talk about this topic, because every time he thinks about it, it feels like the scars in his heart have been uncovered once, the blood and flesh are so bloody that it is impossible to see, and it still hurts.

Dong Yu saw with his own eyes that Dong Jinfeng was drunk and talked nonsense enough, so he paid the bill and left without him.Dong Yu found the basement according to the address Dong Jinfeng said, took out the key from his pocket, opened the door and entered the room, and was greeted with a musty smell.The room is very small, with only a bed and a table, nothing else.Dong Yu threw him on the bed and covered him with a quilt. Suddenly, he saw a form next to Dong Jinfeng's pillow. Dong Yu took it over and looked at it curiously. It turned out to be an application form for studying abroad.

Dong Yu was ecstatic, but it disappeared in a flash. He finally knew why Dong Jinfeng was so drunk.Dong Yu sat by the bed, took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, the call was connected, and he reported himself: "Hello, I am Dong Jinfeng's third brother, are you Chen Fang?"

Chen Fang is Dong Jinfeng's classmate, and they usually have a good relationship, so Dong Yu specially asked for his number in case of emergency.

Chen Fang was bold and said with a smile: "Happy New Year, third brother, why did you call me suddenly, did Jinfeng make you angry?"

Dong Yu smiled and said: "That's not true, he is very afraid of me." Dong Yu cleared his throat, "Chen Fang, third brother wants to ask you something, your school has given you a place to study abroad?"

Chen Fang said seriously: "Yes, but it's not public funding. Although our school is a 985 university, it is very difficult to apply for public funding, and you have to have a relationship." Chen Fang paused, "Third brother, let me tell you the truth. This time is an opportunity, but it’s also a pitfall. If you don’t have money, you don’t want to think about it. I know that Jinfeng wants to go, but the situation is..." Chen Fang stopped before finishing his sentence.

Dong Yu thought for a while and said, "Do you know how much it will cost?"

Chen Fang estimated, "About 25 a year, maybe more."

"Okay, I understand, thank you." Dong Yu hung up the phone and looked back at his younger brother who was still sleeping with a sad face, feeling a little lost in his heart.Dong Yu's ability is limited, and the 25 is an astronomical figure for him, beyond his reach, nothing is more uncomfortable than this.

With a "ding bell", Dong Jinfeng's phone rang in his pocket, and Dong Yu fumbled to take it out, and the screen showed Brother Ding.Dong Yu was afraid that there was something urgent there, so he took the initiative to answer, "Hello."

The other side was obviously in a hurry, "Jinfeng, I'm your brother Ding, are you okay now, help me if you're okay, I want to accompany my daughter-in-law back to her mother's house, please help me to be a substitute driver, I will take care of you right away." I'll send you the address, send me a message when it's done, and the money will be transferred to your card, okay, I'm in a hurry, hang up first, don't forget to go."

Dong Yu was stunned when he heard the cannonball over there, and then he realized that this kid Dong Jinfeng actually pretended to be a substitute driver. It's the first time.Dong Yu took a deep breath, waited for the address to be sent over there, and went out with his mobile phone.

It was already two o'clock in the middle of the night, Dong Yu traveled through the cold night wind in Beijing, and followed the route he remembered to find the hotel where he needed a driver.It was rare for Dong Yu to take a taxi back, it was 30 yuan, and his heart ached.After paying the bill, Dong Yu rushed into the hotel, and then called the employer according to the number on the text message.But after waiting for a long time, no one picked up, and at this time the hotel waiter had already come over and said politely: "Sir, we are going to close soon, may I ask who you are?"

Dong Yu thought that the service of this star-rated restaurant is really good. Looking at the figure of this beautiful woman in front of her, it is no wonder that rich people choose this kind of place to eat.Dong Yu smiled and said, "I'm the substitute driver, and the employer eats here."

The beautiful waitress smiled and said, "There are still two tables of guests here, both of whom are together."

Dong Yu thanked: "Then I'll go up and ask, don't go to the wrong place." Before the waiter could speak, Dong Yu had already gone up the stairs.

In the private room on the third floor, Han Zhewen continued to pour wine to others without getting tired of it. There were a few people on the table that he really didn't like, especially the young master of the old Sun's family. He obviously didn't have any real power in the family. Arrogant.The two juniors of the Xu family who had the same thoughts as Han Zhewen, when they were arguing in full swing, Tian Tian suddenly said to the people around him, "Is the big brother still talking?"

Bai Tianwen nodded in response, and said in a low voice, "The atmosphere over there is even weirder than here." Tian Wen blinked with a snickering smile, "Did you find a substitute driver for elder brother?"

During the day, he also whispered: "If you don't look for elder brother, you can't leave. If you bring a driver with you, elder brother will probably have stomach bleeding today."

As Bai Wen said, the atmosphere in the private room next door was dull and weird. Bai Ruiyang was sitting at the wine table, although he was smiling, it was not difficult to see that he was in an extremely bad mood at the moment.In the past few days, the issue of the developer has left him at a loss. In addition, Han Ningjun stepped in halfway, so that things had to deviate from the original plan.

The Bai family now has a pivotal position in Beijing, and the Han family is probably the only one who can oppose it.As the successor of Bai's enterprise, it is very difficult for Bai Ruiyang to have enough time to enjoy freedom, which is not what he expected.Just when Bai Ruiyang was disdainful to deal with Han Ningjun, the door of the private room was knocked suddenly. When the door was pushed open, a man with a bright smile on his face casually entered the eyes of everyone and broke the bag at the same time. A mysterious atmosphere in the room.

"Excuse me, I want to ask if there is a Mr. Bai here?"

Everyone fixed their eyes on Bai Ruiyang, but the person being watched just smiled, put down his glass and stood up unsteadily, he waved to Dong Yu, "Come here."

Dong Yu was taken aback for a moment, thinking that this person took himself too seriously, didn't he?Although Dong Yu was upset, he was an imposter after all, so he had to listen to Mr. Bai's words and walk over.Dong Yu arrived beside him, and before he could explain why he came, Bai Ruiyang had already wrapped his arms around his shoulders and hung it on his body.

"Brothers are drinking, I really have something to do, I'll get together another day." Bai Ruiyang was waiting for this opportunity, pretending to be drunk and pushing him out of the private room.

Everyone watched the door close, and Du Sheng, who was sitting next to Han Ningjun, blinked at the door, "Ning Jun, what do you think Rui Yang is playing?" Yang knew all about his sexual orientation, and looked at the one who walked in just now, although he was dressed in ordinary clothes, he couldn't bear it.

Han Ningjun was thoughtful, and gradually fell silent.

It was a bit difficult for Dong Yu to drag this Mr. Bai. At such a close distance, the smell of alcohol would inevitably enter Dong Yu's nostrils, causing him to frown frequently.Bai Ruiyang is 1.8 meters [-] tall, so he is naturally not light. He enjoys hanging on Dong Yu's body, because Dong Yu feels quite fleshy.

Many people know that Bai Ruiyang likes men, but he is not a person who goes around promiscuously. With his keen observation and rich experience in reading people, he is sure that the man who came to pick him up is of the same kind as him.
