In the cafeteria.Song Chen sighed while eating: "You still take care of the food when you give 300 yuan every month?"

"Eat it all and still talk so much nonsense. If you go to college soon, you will spend more talking about it, so don't eat it if you feel guilty?"

"If you don't eat, you will be hungry."

"How do you want to fill in the volunteer?" Tang Yishi pulled the tab of the can.

"I don't know. Let's talk about it after the college entrance examination scores come out. It's useless to say now."

"Do you want to go to the same school as me?"

"Impossible, my grades are not that good, even if I perform supernormally, I can't achieve it."

"Oh...then," Tang Yishi folded his hands and looked at the ceiling, "Should we be in the same city?"

"Is this really good? The person you like is always under your nose, it's hard to forget, right?" Song Chen squinted at him with downcast eyes.

"I know."

In the hotel, Song Chen was lying on the bed reading a book, when he suddenly remembered the knock on the door, he got up and opened the door, it was Tang Yishi.

"I'm sorry, Mom and Dad clearly said they wouldn't come back for the New Year. I don't know why they came back all of a sudden." Tang Yishi said as he put the food he was carrying for Song Chen on the table beside him.

"It doesn't matter, it's just spending money anyway." Song Chen lay back on the bed again, "Won't it be discovered? You funded my affairs."

"It doesn't matter, they always don't care about my financial problems." Tang Yishi sat at the end of the bed, propped his head with both hands and looked at Song Chen who was surrounded by various teaching materials spread out on the bed, "Are you reviewing?"

"Ah."

"If I had known earlier, I would have brought the book with me."

He just quietly watched Song Chen who was reviewing for about half an hour.

"Can I kiss you?"

Song Chen moved his gaze from the book to his face, thought for a while, "Yes."

He stretched his upper body in front of him, lowered his head and touched his lips lightly.

"How is it? Do you like it?" Song Chen looked up at him expressionlessly.

"Yes, how about you?"

"Nothing special." Song Chen turned his gaze back to the book.

"Don't you hate it or like it?" Tang Yi sat upright.

"Yes." Song Chen turned a page of the book.

20 is old.

Not long after the summer, the air has become a bit cold.

"Are you going to leave as soon as I come?"

In the dormitory, Tang Yishi, who came to play with Song Chen, sat on the bed and looked at him who was putting on his coat and asked.

"Yes, I'm going to work part-time. As agreed, you will pay for the tuition, and I will live on my own. Where will the money come from if I don't work?"

"Where do you work?"

"Cafe, waiter."

"Just right," Tang Yishi put down the magazine he was flipping through, "It's time for my young master's afternoon tea, let's go to your shop for a drink."

"What's a drink? It's not wine. Are you chasing idol dramas with this line?" Song Chen jokingly said as he walked out the door.

On the bus, the two of them sat side by side.

"You..." Song Chen looked at the scene passing by outside the window, and asked without turning around, "Have you not given up yet?"

"That's right." Tang Yishi looked in the opposite direction, "Otherwise why would I follow you so cheaply?"

"Hurry up and give up."

"Stop talking nonsense, it's not that simple."

27 is old.

"What's the matter?" In the coffee shop, Tang Yishi walked up to Song Chen and sat down, took a sip of water, "It's rare that you took the initiative to ask me out."

"Repay the money." As he spoke, Song Chen took out a bank card and put it in front of him. "I calculated the tuition fees and living expenses for one year of high school and four years of university, which is about this much."

Tang Yi looked at the card, sighed and smiled wryly, took the card and looked at it for a while, "If you accept this, will we have nothing to do with each other?"

"Don't say that, I'll feel guilty."

"It's just to make you feel guilty. With your personality, next time I ask you out, you won't come out again, right?"

"If you don't do this, how many more years do you plan to spend? Ten years? Twenty years? Don't do things that have no results." Song Chen leaned back on the back of the sofa and looked at Tang Yi seriously.

"If you can think about this for me, why don't you consider dating me?"

"They say it's impossible."

"Really." Tang Yi smiled wryly as he took the drink list and looked at it, "He is good at hurting people. After all, you should come out when you make an appointment, otherwise, you know what people will do for what you like .How is your work lately? I see that you are a little thinner than last time."

"It doesn't matter if you're busy or not. Anyway, isn't that the case for newcomers who join the company? Overtime is commonplace. How about you? You joined your own company, how are you?"

"A lot of gossip, idle talk will kill you."

"Hey, Song Chen, someone is looking for you outside."

In Song Chen's company, a colleague came over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Who?"

"I don't know, it doesn't look too easy to mess with anyway."

Song Chen was working in the downstairs hall. Before he got close, he saw two people who were not serious at first glance, and the uneasiness that hadn't appeared for a long time suddenly surged in his heart.

"I'm Song Chen, what can I do for you?"

"Oh, show it to him." A man in a suit kicked the smoking man next to him.

"Oh, here you are." The smoker put the cigarette in his mouth, took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket, and handed it to Song Chen, "Return it as soon as possible, and you must not find any excuse to check your signature." Don't delay for a while."

When Song Chen was wondering what the two of them said, he opened the paper and saw Yao Na's signature, so he knew roughly what happened.

He sighed, returned the paper, and said with a smile, "How much is the principal with interest? Also, where is she now?"

"Oh, you're quite calm," the man in the suit stood up straight and said with a smirk, "Don't worry, she's staying at my house right now, eating and drinking. As for the money..." The man took out the IOU and shook it , "It's this plus 50.00%."

"What about the deadline?"

"Seeing how easy you are to talk, I'll give you a week."

"Well, I got it. Leave your phone number, and don't come to the company to look for me again," Song Chen took out his phone, "If you are worried, you can go to my house every day. You should have found the address long ago, right? Oh And after you go back, send a video of her to be recorded live. Although I can confirm that the handwriting of the signature is hers, I can rest assured."

night.

After Song Chen finished watching the video, he went home and started raising money. Although Yao Na looked obedient in the video, he didn't have the energy to take care of that now.

"Sure enough it's still not enough..." Song Chen picked up the phone and pressed Tang Yishi's name and number in the address book, "I still want to look for him, he's obviously messing around, hey, are you off work? Are you free now?

"Did you really listen to me this time? Not only didn't you avoid me, but you took the initiative to ask me out for dinner." Tang Yishi drove the car and stopped in front of Song Chen who was waiting for him downstairs, rolled down the window and said.

Song Chen walked to the other side, opened the door and sat in the passenger seat, "Actually... two people came from the company at noon today."

"And then?" Tang Yishi asked while starting the car.

In the restaurant, Tang Yishi ordered the dishes, closed the menu and put it back on the table. After the waiter walked away, he took a drink of water and asked, "How much is it? How much is it in total?"

"45."

"Yeah." Tang Yishi nodded, "It's about the same as what I thought. Yes, I will remit the money to you after I go back. But are you more filial than I imagined, and you didn't let it go? It's not like you."

"In this world, not all the things you don't like can be ignored. Besides, I don't want to ignore those who ask for debts. Let's solve it when it can be solved with money. In addition, there is another thing that I have a little bit of I care." Song Chen took out his phone and clicked on the video for Tang Yi to watch, "What do you think of her?"

While Tang Yishi was watching the video, the ordered items were brought up, "She's a bit weird."

In the video, Yao Na has been sitting in front of the window in a daze. If it hadn't been for the noisy voices and the shaking of the camera, she would have thought it was a picture, because she didn't understand at all, and she didn't even change her eyes.

"Have you asked those two people?" Tang Yishi returned the phone.

"No, I guess if I ask, I'll just shirk and say I don't know." Song Chen rolled up the spaghetti with a fork and put it in his mouth. "Anyway, I should be able to see it after paying the money. Let's talk about it later."

In the evening of the next day, in the office, Tang Yishi happened to be busy with the matter at hand, so he called Song Chen.

"How? Did you redeem her?"

"Well, it went better than expected. The other party left after confirming that the money was credited to the account. He brought her here with him. He is now in a taxi and ready to go home."

"Then how is she? Is the state still the same as in the video?"

"Well, I didn't respond to anything I said to her."

"I'm fine. I'm going to your house now. I should arrive before you. Is the key still in the old place?"

"Yes, it's still there."

Song Chen's house.

"Auntie, do you remember me? Tang Yishi, the one where Song Chen went to your house when he was a sophomore in high school?" Tang Yishi squatted in front of the sitting Yao Na and talked to her.

"It's useless, I was talking to her all the way." Song Chen took a glass of water and walked to Tang Yishi who stood up and handed the water to him.

"What about your body? There is no injury, right?" Tang Yi sat down on the sofa after carrying the water.

"I don't know, I'll check her carefully when I'm going to bathe her right away."

"Tomorrow, I'll make an appointment with the hospital I know. The examination is better, and I can't just leave it alone. What about you?" Tang Yishi looked at Song Chen, "Can I ask for leave tomorrow?"

"I don't know, I was reprimanded by the supervisor when I asked for leave today." With that said, Song Chen went into the kitchen and put the water under the boil.

"Please don't force yourself if you can't come down. I'll take my aunt to go. Anyway, I'm free."

"Hmm. Thanks."

"Don't just say thank you, think about whether you can associate with me, it's very dishonest." Tang Yi put one hand in his pocket and walked to the kitchen door, leaning against the door frame.

"It's impossible. Do you want to eat?"

"Eat."

After eating the noodles for a while, Tang Yi stood up and put on his coat, "Although I want to stay here all the time, there should be no place to sleep, and it's not convenient for my aunt to be here, so I'll go first. I'll pick you up at about 08:30 tomorrow morning." Auntie, if you want to go to work, go and lock the door, anyway, I know where the key is."
