Inferior by Nature

This is really a unique bag grabbing scene in heaven and earth.

Although Ran Qingzhuang still had a bandage on his left hand, it looked much lighter and more flexible than before.But I don't know what happened, a piece of gauze was pasted on the place where the tattoo was originally on the neck, as if it was injured.

"A bag of Yuxi..." Ran Qingzhuang looked at this side, and said to the proprietress sitting behind the counter.

When facing a giant beast, no matter how timid and screaming you are in your heart, at least on the surface, you should make an appearance that you can handle it with ease, and you are evenly matched with him.You can't look away, you can't turn around and run away, otherwise there is only a dead end waiting for you.

When I looked at Ran Qingzhuang, the above words unconsciously appeared in my mind. Since then, I have maintained the posture of looking at him, as if I was suddenly tapped.

"Ji Ning?" Seeing that I didn't respond for a long time, Zhaofeng kept looking behind him in a daze, and followed my gaze back in doubt.

Then, he also saw Ran Qingzhuang and recognized him.

Back stiffened, Zhaofeng quickly turned back, and while beating his forehead with the palm of his hand, he said in horror: "Damn it, I'm hallucinating!"

I smiled at him and said weakly, "It's not a hallucination."

"Ah?" Zhaofeng raised his head with a blank expression, "But..."

Ran Qingzhuang finished buying cigarettes, and walked slowly towards this side, and as he approached, my back kept bending, and my face was almost in the bowl.

In a daze, it was as if history was repeating itself, the scene where I was caught by him eight years ago to give Zhaofeng extra lessons.

"Long time no see, Zhaofeng." He stopped by our table and called out Zhaofeng's name accurately.

"Ran, Ran Qingzhuang? Is it really you? I fucking thought I was hallucinating from drinking too much!" Zhaofeng finally came to his senses, "Wait, Ji Ning, the cohabitation partner you are talking about...you live Together?!" He was shocked.

I raised my face slightly and nodded vaguely.

Afterwards, Ran Qingzhuang and Zhaofeng fell into the classic dialogue that is often triggered when they meet old acquaintances outside.

"Are you eating?"

"...Ah, yes, have you eaten?"

"not yet."

"Otherwise...together?"

Ran Qingzhuang didn't agree immediately, he looked at me and asked, "Will it disturb you?"

"No, no, it will be more lively if you add another person!" Zhaofeng raised his hand and called the waiter to add tableware. I silently and consciously gave up my seat and moved inside.

Ran Qingzhuang didn't say anything more, and sat down obediently.

"Oh, Ji Ning didn't say anything earlier, or I'll call you." Zhaofeng picked up the bottle and poured wine for Ran Qingzhuang, his words were full of social tact, "He may also be afraid of embarrassing us, but what happened in the past It was in the past, how many years have passed, and men are good brothers after all, right?" After speaking, he picked up his wine glass and wanted to clink glasses with Ran Qingzhuang.

I have to say that Zhaofeng has also grown a lot, and he can tell nonsense without changing his face, as if he wasn't the one who just said that people are not things.

"Yes, it used to be the past, if you talk about it, you are good brothers." Ran Qingzhuang clinked glasses with him, and drank all the wine in the glass in one go.

Seeing him drinking so hard, I gently tugged at the hem of his clothes under the table, and whispered, "Your injury is still not healed, should you drink less?"

Ran Qingzhuang glanced at me, I shook my hand and let go of his clothes.He put down his glass, filled Zhaofengman, and filled himself again, but this time he drank slowly, taking a sip each time.

"What did you do?" The two glasses of wine resolved the feud between each other, Zhaofeng was originally a lively and outgoing personality, and immediately went out to inquire about the cause of Ran Qingzhuang's injury.

"I fell down the stairs." Ran Qingzhuang lied without blinking, "It's not a serious injury, it's almost healed."

"That's good. You really have a lot of troubles. You have been in the hospital for a long time."

After the fright faded, the feeling of drunkenness came back again, and Zhao Feng never stopped drinking cup after cup, so he got drunk even faster.Chatting and chatting, one moment I was still talking about my work, and the next moment I jumped to my student days without warning.

"It was my luck that I found out that you were putting on the dog skin plaster, otherwise you wouldn't have given me extra lessons, and I wouldn't have been able to get into college..." He hiccupped and raised his glass to respect me.

"You drink less, you're starting to talk nonsense." I took a small sip expressively, and on the surface I could still maintain a calm mood, but in my heart I was a little afraid that he would shake out the things of the year while talking.

It's meaningless to talk about those now, but to add trouble.

"Ji Ning is really a very good person." He propped his chin, looking confused, pointed at Ran Qingzhuang with a wobbly index finger, and said, "You are really nothing, when Ji Ning heard that Gao Wei was going to beat you, Fei The land is over... Look at how kind he is to you, and then look at how you treat him? You have no heart!"

Just now he praised him for growing up, but after a few glasses of beer, his true colors were revealed.How dare he drink so much of such wine?

Hearing that Ran Qingzhuang raised his cup to mid-empty, he squinted his eyes and looked at me: "You were there that day?"

"Ah?" His gaze was full of courage, as if it could penetrate people's hearts. I tried my best to restrain myself so as not to look away timidly.

"Oh, that's it! I remembered..." I suddenly realized, "I missed that day."

"You still want to beat him! You don't deserve his friendship! You have the ability to fight me, who is afraid of you!" Zhaofeng continued to talk drunk, became emotional, and tickled Ran Qingzhuang with his fingers provocatively.

After being undercover for five years, Ran Qingzhuang's temper has been restrained a lot, and he can bear what ordinary people can't, but he doesn't really want to bear Zhaofeng's finger that sticks out of his nose.

With five fingers tightened, and holding that finger down, Zhao Feng said "Ouch", with a little pain on his face.

I was taken aback.It was fine just now, how can you do it right away?

"He's drunk, he's drunk, don't be as knowledgeable as him!" I quickly went to break Ran Qingzhuang's hand.

It's okay if I don't talk, but when I talk, Zhaofeng yells louder, causing customers from another table in the store to look this way frequently.

Fearing that Ran Qingzhuang would really break Zhaofeng's fingers on impulse, I got up in a hurry and patted the table, with a somewhat harsh tone.

"Ran Qingzhuang!"

He let go of his strength all at once, Zhaofeng retracted his hand with a face full of pain, and sucked in air while covering his index finger.I wanted to go over to see if he was okay, but when I got up, Ran Qingzhuang grabbed my wrist.

He grabbed me and didn't say anything, just looked up at me.

"I'll go and see him..." My tone softened, seeing that he didn't object, I broke away from his hand, squatted beside Zhaofeng, and asked about his situation.

"Ah? I'm fine." Zhaofeng raised his head in confusion, acting as if he didn't remember to fight, "We are just kidding, why are you so serious, Ji Ning?" He hooked my shoulder, Almost touching my forehead.

I leaned back and breathed a sigh of relief, while Ran Qingzhuang supported the table and stood up, casting a shadow on me and Zhaofeng.

He was already tall, but he also had a cold and fierce appearance. When he looked down from above with no expression, he felt particularly oppressive.

As soon as I got excited, I heard him say: "I still have something to do, I'm leaving first, you can eat slowly."

After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at me, leaned on the walker, brushed past me, and went out the door without looking back.

"Huh? Let's go now? Haven't finished the wine yet?"

Zhaofeng left the stool with his buttocks, looking as if he was going to chase him, I held him firmly, and poured all the little wine left in the wine bottle into the leftover vegetables.

"Okay, don't drink, I'll call a car to take you back."

Ran Qingzhuang left, Zhaofeng was drunk, and I was not in the mood to continue eating.After paying the bill, I staggered out of the small restaurant with Zhaofeng. Seeing this, Wei Daji ran over from a distance and helped.

The car I called arrived within a few minutes. I sent Zhaofeng to sit in the back row, and then waved him goodbye.

Back at the residence, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Ran Qingzhuang leaning against the stone table smoking a cigarette, the small yard was full of lingering white mist, and the smell was choking.

I thought that both of them are my friends anyway, and friends have conflicts with friends, and I, the middleman, have to reconcile it anyway.

Hesitating, I took the initiative to walk over and said: "Zhaofeng is drunk, he didn't mean to say those words, don't take it to heart."

He held the cigarette with his left hand, and fiddled with his newly bought lighter with his right hand.

"Do you know why we're here now?"

I was taken aback: "Prevent... the remnants of the Union Group from retaliating?"

The smoke ascended and enveloped him, and the gloomy pupils seemed to be stained with a little gray, making them look abnormally cold.

"Then you still bring someone else here? Just trust him so much and can't wait to see him?"

Wei Daji didn't stop him, and because he was in the village and Zhaofeng knew everything, I thought it didn't matter. After what he said, I was also shocked and began to reflect on whether I had caused trouble.

"I, I didn't know you would run into each other, and...and I didn't want to take it home." Under his gaze, I spoke in a softer voice, until finally I was as soft as a mosquito, "I'm sorry, I won't let you go home." Not anymore."

Maybe it was because he saw that I admitted my mistake with a good attitude, and after listening to my words, the coldness in his eyes softened a little, but in the blink of an eye, it was covered with thicker ice.

"You have been in touch."

His tone was firm, as if he had read the chat records between Zhaofeng and me.

"No, just... I just met again not long ago, and he just contacted me today..." I roughly talked about the process of meeting Zhaofeng again.

He nodded: "Oh, it's not easy for you to meet again. It's God's matchmaker who wants you to continue your relationship. You should contact him."

I thought these words were familiar, and when I recalled them, I remembered that I said it myself when I gave him Lin Sheng's mobile phone number.

He even stabbed me with words?

Knowing that he was talking ironically, he was still blaming me for contacting Zhaofeng privately, but because I made a mistake first, I had no choice but to obediently let him stab me.

With my head down, I said it again: "I'm sorry, I was wrong..." The attitude is sincere and the heart is the same.

I didn't say anything for a while, I secretly raised my eyes to look at him, and saw that his gaze fell on another place, although his face was still very dark, but he seemed to have nothing to question, so I wanted to sneak away.

Just as his fingertips touched the door panel, Ran Qingzhuang's voice sounded again behind him.

"Ji Ning, why did you give him extra lessons back then?"

I trembled nervously, and sent out a good person card in a daze: "...he is nice."

There was a moment of silence.

"Not bad? So good that you would rather fall out with me and give him extra lessons, that's really not bad." He laughed very shortly, paused, and asked me in a low tone, "Ji Ning, in your heart , is he more important than me?"
