Heartbeat [online game]

After driving for less than one stop, Wen Jingran turned the steering wheel and parked the car in front of a three-story brick-red building.The small building is located at the innermost part of the bookstore street, and you can drive in directly from the road behind the building.This street is still very popular in the student circle of N City.Both sides of the small street are full of bookstores, some selling tutoring materials, novels, and comics...the variety is complete and the price is cheap, which is the best choice for students to buy books.And many adults who like to read will also frequent here, because as long as it is a book, you can definitely find it here.

On the opposite side of the street is the city's No. [-] High School. During lunch breaks, students from No. [-] Middle School will come here to stroll, which adds a lot of learning atmosphere here.

After getting out of the car, Wen Jingran locked the door and led Tang Xulin up the side stairs.Although Tang Xulin often visits this street, the stores that buy tutorial books and test papers are concentrated at the entrance, and most of the shops in the back are foreign original books or calligraphy and paintings, so he seldom comes here.

Taking a look at the lit sign, the one on the first floor is Shushan Internet Cafe, while the one on the second floor is Xuehai Book Bar.Although they are two completely different places, their names complement each other.The so-called mountain of books has roads and diligence as the path, and the sea of ​​learning has no limit to ride a boat.It also deserves the name of this book street.

Going up to the second floor, Wen Jingran pushed open the solid wood door, and the warm yellow lights inside set off the faint fragrance of ink, giving it a special warmth.

"Come in." Wen Jingran led Tang Xulin in.

A girl in a white sweater sitting not far away came over with a smile and said softly, "Welcome. Sit downstairs or go to the study?"

"Study." Wen Jingran said.

"Okay, a total of one hundred and six for the two of you." The girl took out a plastic card with the door number on the counter by the door, and pasted it on a whiteboard on the wall.The floor and location are written on the whiteboard. Although it looks a bit messy, it is easy for those who are familiar with the place to understand.

After paying the money, the girl led the two of them up the wooden stairs in the book bar. Upstairs was a whole row of rooms with wooden doors, no glass, and the inside could not be seen. Collectively referred to as the study.

Opening the door of a room in the middle of the corridor, the girl turned on the light and invited the two of them in, "If you need anything, you can order directly by phone, and a waiter will bring it to you. If you have any questions, you can call Call me."

Wen Jingran nodded.

"I'll go down first." After finishing speaking, the girl closed the door and left.

Tang Xulin walked around the room, it seemed that this place was very novel.The room is small in size, with two large tables in the middle and lamps on the table for use.The wall on the left is a whole row of bookshelves, and there are books on them, ranging from comics to biographies. On the right side of the room is a row of long sofas. There are a few cushions on the sofa, which can be used for reading or lying down. rest.Directly opposite the door is a window through which the first floor can be seen.

"It's really nice here, why didn't I notice it?" Tang Xulin was very satisfied with this place, put his schoolbag on the table, and went to the window to look down.

"This store has been around for a long time, but it opened from 8 o'clock in the afternoon to [-] o'clock in the morning the next day." Wen Jingran took off his coat and put it aside.

"I see. Brother Jing Ran comes here often?" Tang Xulin turned his head and asked.

"I often came here when I was in college, but I seldom came here after work." Wen Jingran said, "Take off your coat, come here to see what you want to eat?"

"Okay." Taking off his down jacket, Tang Xulin lay down on the table, looking at the menu on the table, "There are so many things, no wonder it's so expensive."

"Actually, it's not expensive. If you choose the study room upstairs, you can eat snacks and drinks as you like without any restrictions. The lobby downstairs is relatively cheaper. You can stay until tomorrow morning when you are fourteen. You can order drinks as you like, but there is only one snack. "Wen Jingran chose the upstairs, not because of the snacks, but because it is quieter here, so he can concentrate more on reading.

"Then when I come with my classmates, I'll sit downstairs." Tang Xulin said with a smile.

"Well. The Internet cafe under the book bar is the same owner as this one. But you can only enter it when you are an adult. You should just read here honestly."

"Well, I see." Tang Xulin nodded: "I have homework, so I can do it here for a while."

"Do you still have homework in cram school?"

"A few of my classmates went to a cram school with me, and it happened to be a good time to discuss how to do it." Tang Xulin laughed.

"Hmm." Discussing with classmates may not necessarily give you the correct answer, but at least it can open up your mind, which is not bad.

"I want to drink coffee!" Tang Xulin pointed to the Mocha on the menu and said.

"Don't fall asleep at night." Wen Jingran was a little suspicious that the little apprentice might keep his eyes open until dawn after drinking.

"No. Sometimes I have too much homework and I am too sleepy, so I will have a drink."

"If you're sleepy, sleep on the sofa for a while." Wen Jingran was afraid that the little apprentice would be too tired, so he forced himself to feel uncomfortable.

"I'm not sleepy, I just want to drink." Tang Xulin looked at Wen Jingran, as if he wanted to see him agree.

At this moment, Wen Jingran's cell phone rang.Wen Jingran took out his mobile phone and said to Tang Xulin, "You click on it yourself, I'll answer the call."

"Okay, do you want coffee, Master?"

"En." Wen Jingran responded, and went out to answer the phone.

Looking at Baicao Zhe's name on the call, Wen Jingran was surprised, but also felt it was reasonable.

"Hello?" Wen Jingran answered the phone.

"Are you okay? You are not online, and Pianran is not online, are you abstaining?" Baicao Zari's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's nothing. Pianran didn't bring the house key, and there's no one at home. So I can't call." Wen Jingran said.

"Well, as long as it's okay. Go online and play the dungeon." The dungeon activities on the weekend continued as usual, and Duowen Jingran a violent DPS is always good.

"I'm not at home. I may not be online today." Wen Jingran said.

"You're not at home, neither is Pianran. It sounds like we went out to meet each other." Baicao Zhe joked.

"Well, I'm with Pianran." Wen Jingran said bluntly.

"..." Baicao Zhe was silent for about ten seconds before saying, "I really don't know what to say. Are you moving too fast?"

"It just happened to be a chance to meet." If it wasn't for the little apprentice who didn't take the key, if it wasn't for the little apprentice who sent him a text message, or if there wasn't a martial arts competition today, he might not have met Tang Xulin.

"How is it? Does Pianran have your taste?" Baicao asked with a smile.

"You have never been a gossip." Wen Jingran's voice could not hear any emotion.Regarding the fact that he is gay, although he didn't tell Baicao Zhe directly, but as the same kind, he believed that Baicao Zhe and Jianlang would be aware of it.

"I just care more about the younger brother I know." Baicao Zhe really cares about dancing lightly.

"You should care about yourself when you have time." Wen Jingran's lips curved into a smile. He was very happy that someone cared about the little apprentice.

"If you don't tell me, I can ask Pianran." In fact, Baicao Zhe didn't expect Wen Jingran to say anything to him.

"Well, then you should ask him." Some things he said were one thing, but the little apprentice said another.

"That's fine, don't disturb the world of the two of you. Hang up." Baicao Zhe didn't talk too much, as long as he knew that the two of them were fine.

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, the waiter just happened to bring up Tang Xulin's order.

Wen Jingran didn't let her take it in, took the tray by himself, thanked her, and entered the room.

In the room, the little apprentice had already taken out his homework and was writing it.Seeing him come in, he stood up immediately, ready to take what was in his hand.

"No, you can continue writing." Wen Jingran put the tray on the table, and put the coffee and snacks ordered by the little apprentice at his hand.I went to the bookshelf to find a book, then sat on the sofa with my cup of coffee and started reading.

The soft light illuminated the room, and the two of them went about their business quietly.Occasionally there is the sound of turning a book, but it doesn't feel noisy.An Yi has also become the most appropriate adjective for the two of them now.

Just after ten o'clock, Tang Xulin's cell phone rang.After recovering from the sea of ​​questions, Tang Xulin answered the phone.

"Hello, Dad?"

Tang Quanxing didn't know what to say, Tang Xulin responded, and handed the phone to Wen Jingran, "My father asked you to listen."

Wen Jingran took the phone and said to Tang Quanxing on the other end of the phone, "Hi, Minister Tang."

"Master Shen, thank you so much. Please take care of Mengmeng. His mother is not at home, so I don't have time to pay attention to this carelessness. It is really troublesome for you." Tang Quanxing's tone was not social, but I am really grateful to Wen Jingran.After all, his son was outside alone at night, and it was winter, so a father must not be at ease.

"It's nothing, I just happen to be free." Regarding the game, it's better for Tang Xulin to talk to Tang Quanxing himself, and it can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

"It's causing you trouble. Tell me where you are now. I'll take a taxi to pick him up." Tang Quanxing just got off the plane and didn't drive. It's more convenient to take a taxi.

"It's okay, you don't need to make another trip. I'm here by car, just to send Mengmeng back." Wen Jingran glanced at Tang Xulin, who was blushing because he called her nickname, and said, "Come over from the airport." It's quite far away, so it's more convenient for me to take him back. He can also rest earlier."

"Okay, okay. Then I will trouble you." Tang Quanxing said.

"No trouble." Wen Jingran said, "Then I'll take him home in a while."

"Okay." Tang Quanxing replied.

Wen Jingran returned the phone to Tang Xulin, Tang Xulin said a few more words to Tang Quanxing, and then hung up the phone.

"Shall we go now?" Tang Xulin raised his head and asked.

"No hurry, you can pack your things first." Wen Jingran said, picked up the phone, and asked the store to deliver a box of egg tarts for takeaway.

When the egg tarts arrived, Wen Jingran put the box into Tang Xulin's schoolbag, "Go back and eat."

"Thank you, brother Jingran." Tang Xulin thanked with a smile. He really likes the egg tarts here.Of the dim sum that was ordered, only this one was eaten.

"You're welcome, put on your clothes and let's go."

"it is good."

After leaving the bookstore, the cold wind blowing outside, Tang Xulin was so cold that he put his hands in the pockets of his coat.Wen Jingran gently took his arm and walked down the stairs slowly, "Be careful."

"En." Tang Xulin looked down at the steps.Although the stairs are also illuminated by some decorative white lights, they are not bright, so be careful when going downstairs.

After going downstairs, Wen Jingran hurriedly got the little apprentice into the car, so as not to freeze him.Then he sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and drove away from the book bar.

Tang Xulin mentioned the neighborhood where he lived, and Wen Jing knew that place, so there was no need for Tang Xulin to show him the way.

In the car, Wen Jingran asked: "Did you never think about going to grandpa's house first without bringing the keys?"

"My grandpa has a bad heart and high blood pressure. My grandma also has high blood pressure. So for the sake of health, they always go to bed early and get up early. My dad is going to pick me up from my grandpa, and it takes 10:30 to get there, which will affect their rest. Yes." Tang Xulin said seriously.

Wen Jingran nodded, thinking that the little apprentice was a very filial child, "From now on, if you forget the key and can't go home, just call me."

"Is it possible?!" Tang Xulin happily turned to look at him.

"Yeah, but I have to tell your father." The little apprentice didn't make a fuss, and it's good to have it with you.

"Yes, I know." Tang Xulin nodded.

"Of course, if you want to come out to eat, you can come to me anytime." Wen Jingran said.

"Won't it bother you? What if you have a girlfriend?" Tang Xulin seemed to be hesitating whether he should always look for Wen Jingran.

Hearing this, Wen Jingran remembered that the little apprentice didn't know that he was gay...

"It's okay, I don't have a girlfriend right now." Wen Jingran said with a smile.

"Well, don't worry then!" Tang Xulin's smile deepened.

When Tang Xulin was delivered to the door, Tang Quanxing hadn't arrived yet.Wen Jingran waited downstairs with him for a while before seeing Tang Quanxing who came back by taxi.

Seeing his son with a smile on his face, Tang Quanxing expressed his thanks to Wen Jingran and asked Wen Jingran to sit down.

But because it was too late, Wen Jingran declined the invitation.Tang Quanxing didn't force it. After saying goodbye to Wen Jingran, he took his son upstairs.

Before entering the anti-theft gate downstairs, Tang Xulin turned his head and waved the phone in his hand, telling him to go back and call.Wen Jingran nodded with a smile, and Tang Xulin entered the gate with peace of mind.

Seeing that the little apprentice returned home safely, Wen Jingran felt relieved.Turn around and get back in the car, drive home...
