mild compromise

return. "

Xiao Chenghao raised his eyebrows, "So you think your responsibility can be lightened?"

"I did not mean that……"

There was a bit of guilt on Guan Meng's face, Xiao Chenghao saw it, and quietly shifted the focus of the topic, "When will you buy me a new phone?"

"Your mobile phone has only been on the market for a month, and now you have to pre-order it in the market, so I can't give it to you right away."

Xiao Chenghao took a piece of portable paper and a fountain pen from the desk, wrote an address on it, and stuffed it into Guan Meng's hand, "After you buy it, send it here. When will I get the phone? Return your wallet."

Xiao Chenghao turned around to leave, Guan Meng grabbed his wrist, and Xiao Chenghao froze in place.He slowly turned his face away, looking straight at Guan Meng, as if he was expecting something in his heart.

"How did you take my wallet away? I didn't notice it at all." The expectation immediately turned into disappointment, and Guan Meng didn't say what Xiao Chenghao wanted.

Guan Meng thought he was good at stealing sheep, but he didn't expect to meet another master theft, and this master was a man who seemed to have a promising career.

Xiao Chenghao put his hand into his pocket, took out a bunch of keys from it, held it up to Guan Meng and shook it a few times.

"Ah?" Guan Meng was dumbfounded, "When did you steal my things again?!" He stretched out his hand to retrieve the key, but Xiao Chenghao raised the key above his head to prevent him from touching it. arrive.

Guan Meng stood on tiptoe and jumped from the ground. He tried several times, but he almost missed it. The last time he seemed to be successful, one of them lost his footing, and the whole body bumped into Xiao Chenghao.

Only then did Xiao Chenghao return the key to him, maybe it was on a whim, and he couldn't bear it anymore, Xiao Chenghao put his hand on Guan Meng's hair and rubbed it a few times, "If you're so careless, how do you live alone?"

Guan Meng blinked his eyes, "How do you know that I live alone?"

"As for your messy house that hasn't been cleaned for days, can you still expect someone to take care of you?"

Guan Meng wrinkled his nose, curled his mouth lightly, took out his mobile phone and dialed 110.

After the phone call, the two fell into a moment of silence. Guan Meng didn't understand why Xiao Chenghao didn't leave. Suddenly there was a murmur of protest in the quiet room. Xiao Chenghao followed the sound and set his sights on Guan Meng.

Guan Meng bit his lips in embarrassment, obviously unnecessary, but he still explained to Xiao Chenghao: "I'm hungry."

ACT7

Guan Meng stared absently at the menu card in his hand, and occasionally raised his eyes to take a look at Xiao Chenghao who was sitting opposite him.

"Ready?" Xiao Chenghao knew that Guan Meng was looking at him, but his gaze remained on the menu in front of him.

"I stole your mobile phone, why are you so generous to treat me to dinner?"

"Because I have money."

This answer was simple, rude and confident, and it was really hard for Guan Meng to refute.But for rich people, they spend money based on their mood, and they don’t need any motivation at all. When Guan Meng was doing live broadcasts before, he did encounter many people just because he was cute to the other party, or he said a simple sentence. Congratulations on his birthday, the local tyrant who gave him a reward.

The man in front of him, who looks like a local tyrant, is not like a bad guy, otherwise he would not have rescued him one after another, but Guan Meng has no idea what the other party is thinking. No matter what, the free lunch must not be missed, especially in the He usually doesn't have so many opportunities to patronize this kind of high-end restaurant.

"Can I order anything?" Guan Meng's eyes revealed a little excitement, "Anything can be?"

"You can order what's on the menu."

Guan Meng pointed to a luxurious sushi boat on the menu, Xiao Chenghao called the waiter over without saying a word.

When the waiter heard that Xiao Chenghao wanted to order a sushi boat, he was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Are you sure you want this?"

Xiao Chenghao nodded, "That's it."

"Okay, I'll place an order for you, please wait a moment."

Looking at the back of the waiter turning away, Guan Meng slightly leaned forward and approached Xiao Chenghao, and asked in a low voice, "Why did she look at us with that strange look just now?"

"The sushi boat you ordered is nearly two meters long and is enough for ten people. Can people not be puzzled?" Xiao Chenghao picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip.

"Ah? Is it such a big portion?" Those vivid black eyes were wide and round.

"I thought you knew."

Guan Meng thought for a while, and asked Xiao Chenghao: "If I can't finish eating, can I pack it and take it home?"

“Sushi stale after overnight.”

"It's okay, I can have dinner, I'm super able to eat! I can finish everything within today."

"Then do whatever you want."

The sumptuous food made Guan Meng temporarily forget about the bad things in the morning. He put his hands on the table with a smile, rested his chin, and looked straight at Xiao Chenghao.

"Brother, what do you do for work?"

"Drug trafficking." Xiao Chenghao blurted out.

"I do not believe."

Xiao Chenghao revealed a faint smile, and asked him, "What do you do?"

"I'm an internet anchor." Guan Meng answered frankly.

Xiao Chenghao tapped the table lightly with his index finger, showing some curiosity about Guan Meng, "Then what do you usually do at work?"

"It's just chatting and singing with netizens, playing games live for them to watch, etc."

"Oh, how long have you been doing this job?"

On weekdays, occasionally someone would ask Guan Meng something about his work out of curiosity, but for some reason, similar questions came from Xiao Chenghao's mouth, but Guan Meng felt that the other party was interrogating himself.

"About two years, but I just lost my job today."

Combined with the hot search incident on Weibo, Xiao Chenghao probably guessed the reason why Guan Meng was laid off. He pretended not to know what was going on, and asked, "Why did you lose your job?"

Guan Meng sighed subconsciously, "To tell you the truth, when I was in the hotel that night, I really had no choice but to break into your room."

Perhaps it was because Xiao Chenghao helped him out twice and even invited him to dinner, which moved Guan Meng a little. He told Xiao Chenghao about Wu Jun. When it came to being secretly photographed accidentally, Guan Meng simply said The words are roughly taken.

"Then what do you plan to do after you lose your job?"

"What can I do, the master will not beat the west."

This is easy to say, but if something like this happens, which live broadcast platform would dare to accept him?Guan Meng was secretly depressed.In the past two years, he has earned a little savings by relying on fans' rewards as an Internet anchor, but he can't spend that savings indiscriminately. The funds used are not much. He has to eat every day, pay rent every month, and pay Xiao Chenghao a mobile phone worth tens of thousands of yuan. He has to find a new job within a month.

Thinking about things a little bit preoccupied, Guan Meng suddenly had a piece of tempura in his bowl.

"The tempura here is very famous." Xiao Chenghao naturally continued to bow his head to eat his own food after serving him.

Guan Meng blinked his eyes in puzzlement, his thick and long eyelashes fluttered up and down like a small fan, he said "oh", and silently put the piece of tempura in the bowl into his mouth.

The lunch ended without a word of conversation. When the two walked out of the hotel and were about to part ways, Xiao Chenghao suddenly stretched out his hand and gently grabbed Guan Meng's elbow.

"Don't leave the sushi overnight." Xiao Chenghao reminded him, "Even if you can't finish it, don't keep it."

"Understood." Guan Meng nodded with a smile, the two dimples on his cheeks were always faintly visible, "Thank you for inviting me to dinner, I will buy the phone for you as soon as possible."

Xiao Chenghao had a lot to say, but all the words turned into silence when he reached his mouth. He stood at the door of the hotel, staring at the distant figure, until he completely disappeared from the corner of the street before getting into the taxi.

"Boss, where are you going?" the driver asked.

Xiao Chenghao gave an address: "The First Experimental Middle School."

Two weeks ago, Xiao Chenghao received an invitation letter for the centennial celebration of his alma mater. The school celebration will be held at the end of next month. The principal hopes to meet Xiao Chenghao before then.According to Xiao Chenghao's original plan, he planned to go there in the morning, but he was interrupted midway because of Guan Meng's incident, and his return to school was postponed to the afternoon.

The taxi drove Xiao Chenghao through the banyan tree avenue of the campus, and finally stopped in front of the teacher's building. Principal Zhang, who had been waiting downstairs for a long time, saw the person coming, and hurried forward to greet him. His face was full of joy. happy smile.

"Mr. Xiao, if I knew you were coming by taxi, I would have found someone to pick you up."

"It's okay, Principal Zhang, please don't be too intrusive, just call me Cheng Hao." Xiao Chenghao smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Principal Zhang back.

Since graduating from high school, Xiao Chenghao has not been back for many years, and his alma mater today is completely different from what he remembers, except for the familiar banyan tree avenue, many things on campus give him an unprecedented strangeness It feels like Xiao Chenghao can't say whether this is good or bad.

Principal Zhang enthusiastically led Xiao Chenghao around the school. He pointed to a brand-new teaching building not far ahead, "Look, that building was donated by you, Cheng Hao. It was just completed last year. Now the students We have already moved in and used it.” The principal said with emotion, “Cheng Hao, it’s really thanks to you that our school has made such a big change. On behalf of all the teachers and students of Shigao, I would like to thank you for what you have done for the school. everything."

"Without the cultivation of his alma mater, there would be no success today.
