Wildfire

Chapter 18 After the Ice Cream

"Tang Can."

Chen Xun pulled Tang Can to a small corner on the first floor of the gymnasium, folded his arms and stared at Tang Can frowning hesitantly. He seemed distressed or was thinking of words.

"What's the matter?" Tang Can didn't know anything, and was pulling out a pack of tissues from his pocket, holding the tissue to wipe the ice cream liquid that melted on his hands, "What did you want to say by grabbing me?"

Chen Xun sighed in his heart. He didn't want to hurt Tang Can, but he couldn't bear to see Tang Can end up too sad.

"Listen." Chen Xun's tone was still trying to comfort Tang Can, "It's not that you are bad."

"I know, I'm not bad." Tang Can smiled and continued to wipe his hands.

"I said something else."

"For example, my sister has a boyfriend."

Tang Can's hands stopped moving, and the paper towel fell to the ground. The snow-white paper surface was stained with brown ice cream liquid, which looked terribly dirty.

"His name is Xu Chengce, the son of our family acquaintance." Chen Xun continued hesitantly, "Xu Chengce is a year ahead of us and will be a freshman this year."

Tang Can was still in a daze, and it took him a long time to blink: "I see."

"Why did you tell me this specifically?" Tang Can pretended to say casually, with a hint of forced explanation in his words, "Sister Xi is so nice, and she is so beautiful. It's normal for a man to like him, isn't it?" ? I don't think it's ok."

"It's good that you're fine." Chen Xun said.

When the sun was in the west, the bell rang for the end of get out of class. Tang Can seemed to have found a reason to escape, and went to the playground, "Go back first, the next class is coming soon."

Chen Xun followed behind him.

It was obvious that the people in front were depressed, and even the normally proud wisp of hair on their heads was bent over by their emotions.

"What kind of person is Sister Xi's boyfriend?" Tang Can asked in a low voice.

"Is it Xu Chengchu?" Chen Xun thought about this person, and said without hesitation, "The family background is very rich, he is handsome, and he studies well."

"Xu Chengchu also graduated from our school. He ranked second in science in the college entrance examination last year, and the ranking has not yet been replaced. If you are curious, you can see for yourself."

Sure enough, Tang Can's confidence lost even more, and his whole body was listless like a frost-beaten eggplant.

This has not yet begun to fall in love, and the sister she likes has a boyfriend. Tang Can feels that it is too difficult for her.

The setting sun shone on the facade of the teaching building, and the whole playground was warm. Tang Can felt a little sad in such a warm weather.

Tang Can slumped his shoulders and stopped turning his head, his brown eyes couldn't hide the disappointment: "Chen Xun."

"Yeah." Chen Xun looked over.

"I'm not happy at all today." After Tang Can finished speaking, he turned around, first he took a few steps slowly, and then quickly ran back to the teaching building without caring about Chen Xun.He didn't go back to the classroom immediately, but ran to the Academic Affairs Office out of breath, and asked the old teacher of the Academic Affairs Office for a copy of this year's enrollment brochure.

Tang Can returned to his seat and unfolded the three-fold page. On the red enrollment brochure, there were six outstanding student representatives posted. He slid his finger on the heads of the people, and finally fixed on the face of the second person.

The student's face was sharp and angular, with a pair of peach-blossom eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He was a handsome guy who couldn't hide his scumbags. Under the handsome guy's profile picture was written Xu Chengchu and the school he was admitted to.Isn't this a replica of Chen Xun?The gap between Chen Xi's favorite boy and himself was a bit too big, and Tang Can read the name of the school he was admitted to in frustration, four characters: Tsinghua University.

Zheng Xiaoshua, who was next to him, looked at him for a while, took off his glasses and grabbed the skirt of his school uniform to wipe the lenses, he didn't know what happened to Tang Can, he said, "Tang Can, why don't you seem to be happy, why didn't you play in PE class? "

Tang Can lay on his stomach and said weakly: "My love seems to be flying."

"Is there anyone who can't fly?" Zheng Xiaoshua put his glasses back on, and began to preach in a simple manner, "If you like it, you like it well. Whether love will be successful or not is unknown."

Tang Can was stunned, and slowly got up from the table as if inspired.He decided that since he liked Chen Xi, he would treat her well.If he and Xu Chengchu are always on good terms, he will wish Chen Xi only to be Chen Xi's younger brother.If one day Chen Xi and Xu Chengchu break up, then he should not let go of the opportunity.

As for Chen Xun, Tang suddenly raised his eyes and smiled at him.He must do everything possible to please him and treat him like his own relatives, even if Chen Xun can say something nice about him in front of Chen Xi, it is worth it.

There was no cram school that day, and Tang Can still followed Chen Xun and his group at the crossroads to break up. Chen Xun and Qin Song went back in the same car, and Tang Can waited for the bus by himself.

When he got home, Tang Can went into the bedroom to do his homework after eating a good meal and carrying half a plate of figs.Tang Baihe sent him a message at eleven o'clock in the evening, telling him to go on a temporary business trip.Not going home today.

Tang Can replied: Be careful.Before he picked up the pen, he suddenly heard high-heeled shoes clattering to the door of the room, followed by the sound of the door opening.

"Tang Can, mom is here to see you!" He Congrui hugged Tang Can's arm affectionately as soon as he entered the door, and after holding him for a while, he asked him to stand still and let him turn around to praise him for growing taller again.

Tang Can was a little embarrassed by his mother's praise, he hadn't seen He Congrui for a long time.After He Congrui and Tang Baihe divorced, he lived with Tang Baihe.At first, He Congrui visited him once a month, then once every two months, and then picked him up for half a year or occasionally to go out to play.It has been almost a year since Tang Can saw his mother last time.

Tang Can looked at He Congrui's eyes were a little red, and only chatted with He Congrui after the feeling of grievance subsided.

"Mom, what have you been up to lately?" Tang Can sat on a chair, facing He Congrui.

He Congrui took out the small mirror from his bag, and applied lipstick to the mirror.Tang Can looks very similar to her, with full lips and the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned. The lips are painted and the whole person is dyed with a beautiful and lustful atmosphere.

"I'm not busy, just invest in opening a store."

"Is business good?"

"Closed again." He Congrui seemed to be talking about a very normal thing, she put down the mirror and blinked at Tang Can, "How is it? Does it look good?"

Tang Can moved the stool to his mother's side, and then reached out to wipe off the excess lipstick on He Congrui, "It looks better this way."

"Mom is the prettiest."

He Congrui packed his things, picked up Tang Can's school uniform on the back of the chair, and took him out of the house.

"Let's go, I'll take you out to play." The car keychain in He Congrui's hand jingled, "I came here to find you because Tang Baihe was not at home."

Tang Can put on his clothes and got into He Congrui's car, "Where are we going?"

He Congrui tapped the long nails on the steering wheel, "You'll know when you get there."

He Congrui's car was parked in front of a famous bar on Zhoufu Road.Tang Can followed He Congrui out of the car and entered the bar. The air inside was warm, and the bar's unique aroma and noise rushed over his face. This atmosphere made Tang Can feel uncomfortable, and he couldn't breathe.But He Congrui felt at home, she even took off the coat outside her skirt and handed it to Tang Can for him to hold.

The waiter greeted He Congrui and walked towards the booth, and Tang Can followed behind her.Logically speaking, Tang Can can't come in wearing a school uniform, but the owner of this bar is Tang Baihe's good friend. He Congrui made an appointment with the boss in advance, and led people to come in and report Tang Can's name. The most ironic thing is to go inside The LED pattern lights on the bar shed actually displayed: Welcome to Master Tang Can.

Everyone was wondering who Tang Can was, but no one knew that the boy sitting on the sofa holding He Congrui's clothes was the one they were curious about.

He watched his mother and friends drinking, shaking dice and smoking shisha without saying a word. When he was having fun, he even called the boys on the dance floor to come and play together.He Congrui Mingming is already in his early 40s, but he looks only 28 years old, young and beautiful.

Tang Can hugged his mother's bag and coat, put his chin on He Congrui's coat, and looked at his mother's playful cheek through the smoke.

He hasn't seen his mother for a long time, and he really misses her.

Tang Can stared at it for a long time without blinking.

After half an hour, he felt bored, so he took a photo of the LED pattern with his mobile phone and sent it to Chen Xun.

Chen Xun: Where are you?

Tang Can: Bar.

There was no reply for a long time, and Chen Xun replied after a while: You are really capable.

Tang Can: Actually, I really want to go home and do my homework review.

Chen Xun: Then stop talking nonsense, hurry up and go home and do your homework.

Chen Xun: Returning Master Tang Can, soil or not?

Tang Can looked at his name on the booth above each booth, and felt that what Chen Xun said made sense.

Tang Can nodded and replied: I will go back in a while.

Tang Can typed quickly again: By the way, is my sister asleep?

Chen Xun: ...

Chen Xun: I'm asleep.

Chen Xun: I'm going to bed too.

Tang Can put down his mobile phone, huddled in the corner of the sofa, and ate the fruit plate pitifully. He was wearing a No. [-] Middle School uniform, and he was cute and beautiful. The brothers who smoked hookah with He Congrui thought that the children in this No. [-] Middle School had classes during the day Socialize at night.

It's not easy.

Students from such a good school as No. [-] Middle School have to come out to find a rich woman. This world will not be good.

Those elder brothers tried their best to squeeze Tang Can into the corner to prevent him from earning the money.

Tang Can eating watermelon: ...

When it was over, as usual, others left first, and He Congrui said goodbye to his friends in a drunken mess, and then paid the bill by himself.

With no acquaintances left, He Congrui held Tang Can's shoulder and called the waiter over.

"Did you see it?" He Congrui pointed his head up at the name on the roof, and then pointed at Tang Can, "That name is him. I told your boss that Tang Can is coming to play tonight, and he made this specially."

The waiter glanced at Tang Can, then remembered the boss's advice, and said respectfully, "The boss said that Tang Can came to play for free."

Tang Can knew that her mother didn't just come to see him, she only came to him because she had no money.

But Tang Can didn't care if he could stay with her for a while.

Tang Can supported her and staggered towards the car, while his mother cursed Tang Baihe for delaying his youth.

Tang Can helped him to the co-pilot with ease, and drove He Congrui home by himself.

"Do you have money?" He Congrui came around drunkenly, and took out Tang Can's school uniform pocket.

empty handed.

He Congrui was a little disappointed, she leaned back and closed her eyes, and began to scold Tang Baihe again, and then began to cry after scolding.

"Mom." Tang Can looked at the lights in the distance on the street, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't cry, I'll ask my dad for some for you."

As expected, He Congrui stopped crying. Tang Can told his sleeping mother that he had transferred to No. [-] Middle School, about the new friends he had made, and that he had fallen in love with a girl recently.

Without any suspense, He Congrui was fast asleep without any response.

Tang Can spoke very energetically at the beginning, even though his mother didn't listen, his voice still became smaller and smaller, and gradually only the slight sound of the engine in the car remained.

We have arrived at He Congrui's house.

Tang Can was a little dazed. Why is this road so short? He drove so slowly, but he still arrived.

He helped He Congrui upstairs and opened the door to her aunt at home.

Before leaving, He Congrui suddenly grabbed his school uniform sleeve.

Tang Can turned around happily, waiting for her to say something.

"WeChat and Alipay are fine...don't bother to meet up..."

Tang Can's face collapsed.

"okay, I get it."
