deep trap

After returning from Mount Lingbo, Ji Mingze often sent Lu Can WeChat messages, always asking him if he wanted to learn boxing.Lu Can refused for various reasons such as celebrating a friend's birthday, being too busy with work and lacking energy.

After several rejections, Ji Mingze didn't contact him again. I don't know if he saw that Lu Can was avoiding him on purpose, or because he was delayed by things and had no time to teach the students.

After work this day, Lu Can really didn't want to order takeaway, and he didn't have the ability to cook by himself, so he finally decided to go out and have a meal.

Too lazy to go far, he planned to go to the barbecue restaurant opposite the community.As soon as he entered the door, the boss greeted him enthusiastically: "Young handsome guy came early today, did you come here by yourself?"

Lu Can and Ji Mingze came to this barbecue restaurant once, and he said awkwardly: "Well, I came here after get off work, do you remember me?"

"Remember, why don't you remember, when the two of you entered the house that day, I thought it was a celebrity scout who came to me and baked it for you. But then I saw that you didn't have a camera strapped to your body, so I knew I was wrong. "

At that time, Lu Can was in a bad mood, and his food tasted like chewing wax. He didn't taste the meat skewers at all, and naturally he didn't notice that the boss treated them differently.

"Come on, sit inside, it's warmer inside," the boss pushed the menu in front of him, "Why are you alone today, where is your friend?"

Most of the bosses in the north are warm and hospitable, and they will chat with customers they like. Lu Can has long been used to it, but now he is a little annoyed by being asked, "He is out of town and won't be back in a short time."

"That's right, my hometown is also the same. Young people go to the south in groups. The economy is developed there and the climate is good. It's not bad to go for a trip and see another kind of customs. You didn't go with him?"

Lu Can was annoyed: "We don't know each other that well."

The boss nodded quickly: "Oh, I will bake it for you myself today!"

To be honest, this time Lu Can tasted the taste carefully, but he didn't think the boss baked it himself was any better than other places.After a moderate meal, he felt the cold wind slapping hard on his face, opened the collar of his sweater, and pulled it up to cover his chin.

Rolling up the cuffs, pushing the door and going out, a motorcycle passed by at a low speed in front of the barbecue shop.The car body is old, the rearview mirror has been knocked off one side, and it looks miserable—isn’t it just his unfamiliar friend who worked hard in the south? !

Ji Mingze also saw Lu Can and stopped the car.Lu Can's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he was afraid that Ji Ming would ask: You are so busy with work, why do you still have time to play?Is this what you call working overtime to burnout?

The more he thought about it, the more nervous Lu Can became.

But Ji Mingze didn't act according to Lu Can's script.

He just kept the posture of stepping on the ground with one foot, turned his upper body around, and said in the usual tone: "Come over for dinner?"

"Well, I'm so hungry," Lu Can asked back, "What about you?"

"Going to the mall to buy something, I didn't expect such a coincidence to see you on the road."

The community where Lu Can lives is located in the city center, and the surrounding business district is prosperous, and many people will come here to shop and shop.

Ji Mingze looked at Lu Can quietly. Lu Can was so guilty that he didn't dare to look back and stared down at his toes.

"Then I'll go first." Ji Mingze said.

He didn't even ask if he would learn boxing today. It was only before seven o'clock, and Lu Can opened his mouth, "Okay, be careful when riding in winter, bye."

After speaking, he took the lead in turning around and walking in the direction of the community.Just a few steps away, the people behind stopped him: "Wait."

"Why?" Lu Can stopped immediately.

"I forgot to remind you, you are no longer a novice, you can change to the next stage of boxing equipment and continue training."

Just to say this... Lu Can said "Oh" slowly.

It's like a child who wanted to eat an apple, but was stuffed into a banana, and he didn't know why he was so disappointed.

However, he followed the advice of "professionals" and picked a not-so-cold afternoon to drive out.

Because he didn't know where the quality of the goods was good, he finally went to the fighting shop where he bought the equipment last time.

Every business is deserted in winter, and this one is the same.Several waiters sat on chairs and swiped their phones, but the boss stood at the front desk to entertain the guests.

"Welcome, let me introduce you to something I want to buy..." The bearded man raised his head, and quickly put down the account book when he saw that he was an acquaintance, "Yo, Xiao Lu, are you here to change your equipment?"

"Yes, I can't use the novice one."

"What about Xiao Ji, didn't he come with you?"

Why are they all asking the same question, Lu Can thought, could it be that in the eyes of everyone, he and Ji Ming are conjoined twins, grasshoppers tied to the same rope?Why did he have to appear with Ji Ming?

Lu Can shook his head, saying that Ji Ming has been busy recently and has no time to accompany him.The bearded man expressed his understanding, and pointed out the advanced equipment area to him, letting him pick whatever he wanted, and still give him a discounted price this time.

Picking up a shopping box, Lu Can walked to the shelf where advanced equipment was placed.He had already figured out before he came that he would buy a cool new glove, a heavier sandbag, and leggings for strength.With these three things, it’s very simple, just take the payment and leave.

But when it came to the actual selection, I found that for boxing Xiaobai, finding equipment seemed not as easy as imagined.

"Why are you in a daze?" Seeing him motionless, the bearded man walked over with a smile, "I don't know which one to choose?"

Lu Can had to admit: "Why do you have so many brands in your family? You're so picky."

"Everyone has different requirements for training and different levels of price acceptance. As a merchant, I have to try my best to meet the needs of customers so that I can make money."

Of course Lu Can knew that he was just complaining casually just now.

Anyway, everyone in the store should know better than him, Lu Can asked for help: "Then help me get it, I really don't know what to buy."

"Hey, I can't," the bearded man refused resolutely, "Fighting equipment must not only match the training stage, but also meet the physical condition of the user. I'm not your teacher, and I don't know your physical condition. It's easy to buy it for you rashly." cause sports injuries. In this way, "

The bearded man took out his mobile phone, "I'll ask Xiao Ji to come over."

"No, don't—"

Lu Can wanted to refuse, but unfortunately it was too late, and the bearded man quickly dialed Ji Mingze's phone number.

Coincidentally, Ji Mingze happened to be nearby, so he asked them to wait in the shop for a while, and he would come right away.Lu Can was so messed up that he could only sit on a chair with the waiter, chatting with the bearded man while playing with his mobile phone.

About 10 minutes later, Ji Mingze walked into the store quickly.

There was a chilly air on his body, and Lu Can's body trembled involuntarily after staying indoors for a long time.Ji Mingze took a step back and pointed to the shelves: "As I said, take the third one on the left, the fourth one on the right, and find sandbags in the warehouse. Beard, give me the key."

Because sandbags take up too much space, there are not all kinds of stores.Ji Mingze opened the warehouse door with ease, and Lu Can followed behind him. For a while, he couldn't tell whether he should enter the important warehouse or not, and finally chose to lean against the warehouse door, watching Ji Mingze pick and choose.

The other party came here specially to help him, and it would appear ruthless if he didn't speak at this time, Lu Can asked dryly: "You came here so fast, do you work near here?"

"No," Ji Mingze said, "There is a competition in the opposite fighting association, and there are not enough staff members, so I was temporarily pulled over to help."

"Well, what a coincidence," Lu Can asked again, "Where are you going now? Do you want me to give you a ride?"

After finishing speaking, Lu Can regretted a little.They all decided to stay away from Ji Mingze, and how could they stay away by sitting in a car.

Fortunately, Ji Mingze did not agree, "No, thank you, the game is not over, and I have to go back to the opposite side to help later."

Lu Can: "...OK."

After answering Lu Can's words, Ji Mingze turned around and continued to look for sandbags. The warehouse became quiet, except for the rustling of turning things over, the only sound was Lu Can's own breathing.

Probably because the space is too small, the backlog of irritability he had started to hit Lingbo Mountain intensified—whatever the big brother, the closed disciple, the only student, judging from his recent indifference, Ji Ming is not as serious as he imagined. Pay attention to him, okay?

In fact, Lu Can knew very well that whether it was picking him up, learning boxing, or helping to buy equipment in the cold wind, everything Ji Ming did was to pay off the debts of those scratches on the car door.

When the repair fee is paid off, they will not owe each other.

It's pointless to procrastinate, it's better to finish it as soon as possible.

Lu Can pulled out the calculator on his mobile phone and clicked blindly——Ji Ming drove the car for him for a month and a half, and if calculated on the basis of [-] salary, it would be [-].One boxing class is seven hundred, they don't learn it every day, and now they have attended more than a dozen classes, so it's only twelve thousand.

Lu Can didn't go to repair the car, so he didn't know how much it would cost, but according to previous experience, it must be done within 2.The specific value is uncertain, so choose an integer, [-] yuan.

Subtract [-] from [-], and then subtract [-]... Lu Can called "Ji Ming" and showed him the numbers on the calculator, "The repair fee is almost enough, and it's still worth it." The difference is five hundred, if this amount of money is not enough for one class, you can just give the cash directly. After that, you will be free, and so will I.”

Ji Mingze looked down at the phone screen and opened his mouth.Lu Can was far away, and could see his Adam's apple rolling up and down, but couldn't hear what he was saying, only vaguely heard the word "freedom".

"What did you say?" Lu Can asked, "I didn't hear clearly."

"I said I didn't expect it to be returned so quickly."

After a pause, Ji Mingze said embarrassedly: "But you may have to wait for a few days, my money is deposited in the bank, and I have to take some time to get it before I give it to you."

"...All 500 yuan will be deposited in the bank?"

"Well, I rarely keep cash on hand."

Wealth and poverty are relative, where there is wealth there is poverty, there are people like him who squander [-] like a piece of paper, and there are people who want to break every penny in half and spend it.

Asking why an ordinary waiter didn't leave pocket money for himself, Lu Can felt that something was wrong, and had a strong feeling of "why not eat minced meat".

He didn't want to leave a bad impression on the other party when they met for the last time, so he pretended to be indifferent and said, "Okay, don't worry, you can go someday when you are free, and then just transfer me on WeChat."
