He is wild and cowardly

The restaurant is a member-only private restaurant. Ruan Mengqi booked a box on the third floor, and took Tao and Shu directly to the VIP elevator.

When I opened the door and entered, there were already several people sitting inside, playing cards in a pile.

Seeing that Ruan Mengqi brought another person in, they raised their heads one after another. The bald man who sat outside opened his eyes wide and immediately threw the card. He stood up and said, "Tao and Shu?!"

Surprise appeared in the eyes of several other people, obviously they did not expect Tao Yushu to really come.

It's only been three years since graduation, and it's still a stage where the contacts among classmates are getting warmer,? But there have been no fewer than ten gatherings, big and small, but Tao and Shu have never appeared.

He was a topical figure when he was studying, and he appeared more frequently in the discussion at the dinner table after he became a star.Because I didn’t know him well when I was a student, many people now have a relatively average view of him. There are many reasons. Many people just take it for granted that Tao and Shu are popular. When they are high-spirited, they will definitely no longer like most of them. Still living under the blessing of the family, a playboy with little ability, has a preconceived subtle hostility.

Fortunately, the people who came today are from the group that has a good relationship with Ruan Mengqi. This group of people did not do their jobs when they were studying, and they are more heartless now. Some of them are familiar to Tao and Shu, the bald heads who just greeted each other first. ,? It was sitting behind him and Ruan Mengqi in the freshman year of high school.

With a gentle smile on their faces, Tao and Shu greeted them: "Good evening."

The bald head took a breath and then sucked it back, but the shocked expression did not change, and he sighed as if confirming: "It's really you!"

A high school classmate whom I haven't seen for many years has become a big star. Although I often see it on TV,? But seeing a real person at this moment, it still feels quite amazing.

Tao and Shu sat on the sofa outside the big suite, and the people beside them changed one after another, until the waiter knocked on the door and came in and said that the food was ready, and the exchange of pleasantries was temporarily ended.

The dinner table is also extremely lively.

The only thing this group of people have been proficient at since middle school is playing. Now that they are adults, they have all opened their eyes outside, and the methods of persuading and toasting are becoming more and more endless. They have scruples about Tao and Shu, so they turn their heads and make trouble for Ruan Mengqi. Ruan Mengqi drank a few more glasses of white wine under urging, and then he talked with his tongue out.

After being on the table for more than half an hour, the dishes on the table were hardly touched, and they all went to drink.

Taking advantage of the time when no one came to talk to him, Tao Yushu sat aside and took a plate of stewed water spinach in front of his chopsticks to satisfy his hunger.

"Xiao Shu, last time I saw your Moments, did you spend the New Year in Haicheng this year?" Li Xiaolin sat down with a glass of red wine and spoke to him in a rather intimate tone.

Li Xiaolin is very social, and he is one of the few middle school classmates who added Tao Yushu to WeChat. Tao Yushu remembered his name, so he nodded slightly, and touched the cup he held out, "Yes."

Li Xiaolin said: "Then the party should have been held sooner. It's already the fifth day of the new year, and many people are not in Haicheng anymore. If they find out, don't you regret it?"

Tao and Shu smiled and said, "It's good to get together casually."

The drinking group made a fuss for a while, then sat back at the table and ate properly.

After drinking for three rounds, the rest of the conversation was about the same, the topic went around and back to Tao and Shu.

Because they don't know much about it, most people are still curious about the entertainment industry, asking questions about everything.

Someone asked about gossip about a famous female star, Tao and Shu said something unfamiliar, but their tone was gentle and gentle, but no one tried to talk about it afterwards.

Li Xiaolin has been sitting on Tao Yushu's right hand, and he can't help looking at him while talking.

He looked at the complexion of Tao and Shulian's hands holding chopsticks, which was much paler than others, and remembered that when he was in high school, he was not in the same style as other people in terms of appearance and temperament, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The years Like a shuttle, I really realized that time flies so fast when I saw Xiaoshu. I still feel that I haven’t graduated from high school for a long time. Now I think about how we forwarded it in the group when Li Xiaoshu’s first TV series was broadcast. How long has it been?"

Before Tao and Shu could speak, Ruan Mengqi raised his head from the meal and said, "Get out, you're still young, does your ex-girlfriend from the football team agree?"

Everyone else laughed, Li Xiaolin also laughed angrily, grabbed a French fries and hit him.

After a while, someone said again: "But to be honest, when Tao and Shu just debuted, I really didn't expect that we would have such a big star in Pingshi."

Li Xiaolin nodded in agreement.

The man said again: "Pingshi said it was not small, but it was full of money, and there were only two famous ones out of it."

The bald head was listening to their chat, and now he leaned over and asked curiously: "Two famous people? Which two? Who else is there besides Xiao Shu?"

Just as Tao and Shu wanted to interrupt to say something, they heard the man say, "Who else is there, welcome late."

Tao and Shu had a meal.

For a moment, he thought that he had eaten too much of Chi Ying's cooking recently, so he was hallucinating.

After being stunned for two seconds, he confirmed that the name was indeed heard from his ears.

But how could I hear Chi Ying's name here?

Tao Yushu turned his eyes to that side in astonishment, but saw the bald head with a suddenly realized expression, nodded and said, "Oh, him, then I know."

It seemed that some interesting topic was mentioned, and the people who were talking about other things also looked over.

Li Xiaolin thought for a while, and said, "Chi Ying? This name is so familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere."

The bald head glanced at him with an expression of "you don't know?" and said, "Where did you hear about it? The jungler of the ER team, the most popular professional player in the LPL, don't you know?"

Li Xiaolin stared at him for a long time, and said, "I don't play LOL, how would I know?"

The expression on the bald head's face was very exciting. When he asked Li Xiaolin if he was a young man, the others laughed again, saying that it is normal for him to only play with women and not LOL.

Back to the topic, another person suddenly said: "Linzi doesn't know, but Tao and Shu must know. Didn't he endorse League of Legends a while ago? I've seen his commercials."

Before Tao and Shu recovered from their surprise, they were asked suddenly and paused for a long time before saying, "It's not an endorsement, it's just an image ambassador, it's different."

"Is the division so clear?" The man was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's almost the same! The League of Legends is rich now, and can afford you as a spokesperson, and e-sports is also very profitable."

When the subject changed, it was obviously meant as a compliment, Tao and Shu smiled and said nothing.

There are a few boys who love to play games, and they each have their own favorite teams. When it came to this topic, they chatted about the e-sports events some time ago.

Tao and Shu listened quietly for a while, clutching their chopsticks and not talking.

After a while, someone asked again: "Chi Ying is also from Pingshi?"

"Yeah, it's from the school opposite us." The bald man picked up some food with his chopsticks and said, "I forgot if it was the same class as us."

Li Xiaolin just listened to them talking for a long time about tower pushing and development, and couldn't understand a single word, and was aggrieved for a long time, and now he was more excited than knowing that Chi Ying is a famous e-sports player, and said: "Opposite? No. [-] middle school? But isn’t No. [-] middle school very bad? I remember there were a lot of punks.”

The bald man shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said, "Bad, so what, now who cares what school he went to in high school?"

When he said this, Tao and Shu also remembered something.

There is indeed a high school opposite Mingcheng Middle School.

But compared to Mingcheng's random set of autumn school uniforms, which are custom-made by big brands with tens of thousands of yuan, the school opposite is so ordinary that it seems that it shouldn't appear on the same street as Mingcheng.

During Tao and Shu's limited time in school, the only memories of the school opposite seemed to be the gossip that Ruan Mengqi occasionally told him in a mysterious way, who had a girlfriend from the school opposite , looks quite hot, or whoso-and-so got into a fight with someone from the opposite school and was called a parent.

Whatever it was, it had nothing to do with Chi Ying.

The name Chi Ying seems to have jumped out of thin air, jumping into a memory that Tao and Shu originally thought was only him.

But for Tao and Shu, the memories of their middle school days are very thin and lackluster—because there are neither earth-shattering youth records, nor vigorous and memorable friendships or hazy love, and even the time is shorter than ordinary people. a cut.

Therefore, the appearance of Chi Ying seems to be just a character that can't be put into memory at all. He was surprised and only thought it was a coincidence, it was completely destined, but it was hard to have any other thoughts.

Due to his ignorance of the e-sports industry, Li Xiaolin's tone was tinged with disdain: "You can still tell a little bit about your personal level. You went to third middle school, not to mention your quality, at least your brain is not very good."

The bald man laughed, and said: "Don't talk about it, Linzi, speaking of this, I just learned about a gossip a few days ago, and I heard it when I was with Huazi and the others last time."

Li Xiaolin: "What?"

The bald head paused for a moment: "Isn't Huazi the principal of the attached high school? It's better to say that it's better not to be able to pass the high school entrance examination late. It's because something happened to the family during the high school entrance examination, so it's something that missed the entrance examination. I could have passed the exam." A seedling from the attached middle school went to No. [-] Middle School. Many teachers still remember this incident, and feel that it is a pity... I don’t think it’s a pity at all. He went to play e-sports in high school, and he doesn’t go back to school very much. After entering the attached middle school, it may not be as awesome as it is now."

Li Xiaolin curled his lips: "Anyway, I just came out of that school, I don't believe it can be so good."

"No," the other boy laughed a little. He is also a gamer and a fan of the ER team. He has been listening for a long time and has not said a word: "What about the results of the competition? You have the final say, so what if you didn’t graduate from elementary school? You can still get this amount from just any endorsement fee—you’re working as an intern at your uncle’s company, how much bonus do you get a year?”

The boy compared a number with his hands, and Li Xiaolin choked back the rest of his words.

In a group of people, there are those who are well-connected and those who are not.

This boy has never been very used to Li Xiaolin, he thinks he is pretentious, so he is not too polite.

Li Xiaolin's uncle holds the real power in Li Xiaolin's family. He worked hard during the winter and summer vacations as an intern, and only got a few pocket money throughout the year.At this moment, he was poked at the sore spot, his face was embarrassing, he picked up the cup and drank the dull wine, and did not participate in the topic again.

Ruan Mengqi, however, was aroused by the man's casual comparison, and asked by the man's sleeve, "Is it so awesome? You can make money like this by playing games? I don't believe it!"

"I heard it from someone too, I'm not sure..." The man saw Tao Yushu drinking water in silence, and pointed at him, "Isn't there someone who knows about this? Just ask. "

Ruan Mengqi stared at the only person present who had the right to speak about the endorsement fees.

Tao Yushu took a sip of lemonade calmly first, without saying a word, but after a minute, the man's eyes were still staring at him thirsty for knowledge.

He put down his glass, and said helplessly, "I haven't read the contract, so how would I know his... Chi Ying's endorsement fee? Besides, this can't be said casually, it's a commercial secret."

"What secret are you keeping secret from me? Tell me as much as you know!"

"……I really do not know."

Tao and Shu were about to say something, but the mobile phone placed on the table vibrated twice suddenly, the screen automatically turned on, and a WeChat message popped up with an invisible preview.

He glanced at it, didn't open it, picked it up and put it directly into his pocket.

Ruan Mengqi was still yelling, saying how come you don't even know this? Didn't you go to the anniversary celebration with Chi Ying? You should know each other.

Tao Yushu's head hurt from his yelling, and while saying, "Even if they know each other, they don't ask any questions," while accidentally swiping their thumbs, pressing on the unlock button, and the WeChat interface that hadn't been closed jumped out.

【Are you having dinner at home tomorrow?I do grocery shopping in advance. 】

Tao Yushu looked down, and he swallowed the rest of the unfinished words.

One end is discussing Chi Ying in full swing, digging up people's background and social status, but the other end, the person who is talking about the topic is sending Tao Yushu a WeChat message, asking him if he wants to buy vegetables.

Tao Yushu held the phone, and suddenly felt that this scene was very strange.

He seems to be dragged into two different pictures, in which there is the same person, and at a certain point they meet wonderfully.

This kind of coincidence made his heart beat faster involuntarily, but he couldn't explain the source of the sudden heart rate stall. He felt like he was nervous, probably because he was talking about others behind his back and suddenly got caught, but when he thought about it carefully, it didn't seem to be completely like that.

Ruan Mengqi poked his head around, saw Tao Yushu read a WeChat message and suddenly his expression became strange, he raised an eyebrow, and leaned closer to him, "Who is it?" Then he smirked: "Girlfriend?"

"Where did you get your girlfriend from?" Tao Yushu put away the phone, glanced at him, and pulled back the subject as if trying to cover up: "What did you just say?"
