A charming and dangerous character

Soon it was getting darker.

More and more kitchens in the community were lit up. The warm orange light seemed to be a special signal in the dark night. The children who were still playing outside waited for the street lights to turn on. Groups of three and four are ready to go home for dinner.

Slowly, only Qiu Chuyi, Cheng Ye, and Song Zhengrong remained in place.

After the two accidentally bumped into each other just now, they let go of each other's hands in an instant as if they were touching high-voltage electricity, so the two poor bottles of drinks "clanged" and fell innocently on the basketball court.

"What's the matter?" There was too much movement here, and Song Zhengrong couldn't see what happened to the two of them because he was a bit dark, so he asked loudly: "Chu Yi, did something happen to you?"

Qiu Chuyi came back to his senses when he heard it, and immediately replied: "It's okay! Brother Zhengrong, come over quickly after you clean up!" But after he finished speaking, his hands were still clenched unnaturally in front of him.

Finding that Qiu Chuyi even started to assume an unnatural posture, Cheng Ye quickly apologized to him: "I'm sorry Senior Qiu, just now, I didn't see clearly just now..."

"No, you don't have to apologize."

Qiu Chuyi also immediately interrupted Cheng Ye's apology, but his handsome face frowned—in fact, the incident just now was not a big deal, but it was only because of obstacles in his heart that he made it obvious For some, if Cheng Ye really apologized to him, it would appear that he was careless.

So, he said to Cheng Ye again: "You were not wrong at all, it was just an accident."

Cheng Ye tried to keep his tone unchanged and replied: "Yes, it was an accident just now."

But in fact, he suppressed his heart that was about to explode, and it was the first time in his life that he was glad that he wore a scarf today to cover his face tightly—Cheng Ye was very reluctant to ask his mother to wear a scarf before going out, But now he is almost grateful for his mother's wise decision--and therefore, even if the corner of his mouth is grinning now, he won't worry about being discovered by the person opposite.

"What's the matter with you two?" Song Zhengrong also came over at this moment, looking at the two people who were stunned in place with embarrassing expressions, and seeing the drink bottles rolling back and forth on the ground, he immediately guessed what happened just now.

He knew that Qiu Chuyi had a strange disease, and he didn't like being touched by others, so he laughed loudly and said to Cheng Ye, "Isn't it just that I accidentally bumped into it just now? Why are you two men acting like you are about to get married now?" Girl? That’s fine, stop thinking about it! Xiao Qiu, you haven’t introduced me to who this little brother is yet?”

This was the first time Cheng Ye saw Song Zhengrong, and his first impression of this open-minded and hearty boy was not bad at first.But when he heard him call Qiu Chuyi "Xiao Qiu" kindly, he felt depressed, and when he looked at Song Zhengrong again, he felt that everything was wrong.

After hearing this, Qiu Chuyi pointed Cheng Ye to Song Zhengrong: "Brother Zhengrong, this is Cheng Ye. He is a junior in the same high school as us, and he is still in the first year of high school." Then he introduced Cheng Ye: " Song Zhengrong, my former neighbor, just call him Brother Zhengrong just like me."

Song Zhengrong thought Cheng Ye and Qiu Chuyi were good friends at first, so he greeted Cheng Ye warmly: "Hello! Brother Xiao Cheng."

But when he looked towards Cheng Ye, he found that the eyes of this elementary school boy seemed a little complicated - some dodged as if he didn't want to see him, more like he was a little unhappy?

As expected, Cheng Ye only replied angrily: "Hello, Brother Zheng Rong..."

With Cheng Ye's low pressure, the atmosphere between the three dropped to freezing point in an instant.

In order to ease the somewhat awkward atmosphere, Qiu Chuyi remembered the series of relatives that Cheng Ye mentioned just now, and asked him again: "Have you finished the relatives?"

Cheng Ye just nodded: "Yes."

Because it was getting late, Qiu Chuyi asked out of politeness: "Then have you had dinner? If not, brother Zhengrong and I are going to have dinner."

He originally thought that since it was so late, Cheng Ye, who had just come out from a relative's house, must have had dinner. Now that he said that he and Song Zhengrong were going to have dinner, someone who knew him would definitely reply, "I have already eaten, Then don’t bother you, just go.”

However, Cheng Ye is not a person who knows how to go downhill.

Hearing what Qiu Chuyi said, it was naturally impossible for him to refuse this "invitation", and it was even more impossible to "let" Qiu Chuyi eat alone with others under his nose.

So he finally showed a smiling face, but he looked at Song Zhengrong in a far from friendly way: "Okay! I just haven't eaten yet, so I'll go with you!"

Qiu Chuyi didn't react at first, and looked at Cheng Ye in a daze, until he heard him say thank you and then came back to his senses: "Oh... so, since you haven't eaten it yet, you can eat it with Brother Zheng Rong Let's go together."

He then looked at Cheng Ye, who was walking beside him with unusually brisk steps, and he didn't notice that this man could turn his face away and sneer, but he always had an inexplicable feeling in his heart that someone had taken him by the army.

In this way, the three of them walked into a restaurant near the community with their own ulterior motives.

Song Zhengrong, the oldest among the crowd, took the menu and asked the two of them first with a smile on his face: "What do you both want to eat? By the way, don't be polite to me today. I treat you to this meal. I will eat it in the next year." You will be paid when you start your internship." He casually flipped through a few pages and asked, "I seem to remember that Xiaoqiu can't eat spicy food?"

Qiu Chuyi nodded subconsciously when he heard it.

The expression on Song Zhengrong's face immediately became a little pity, but he still said, "Ah... let's forget about the boiled pork slices."

But Qiu Chuyi immediately said to the waiter: "I want a piece of boiled pork." Then he turned back and smiled, and said to Song Zhengrong: "It's okay, Brother Zhengrong, I can also eat other dishes. You can order what you like." good."

Song Zhengrong also smiled happily at Qiu Chuyi, and he seemed to like this understanding brother Xiao Qiu very much.Then he asked his new friend who hadn't spoken to him much today: "Brother Xiaocheng, what would you like to eat? Can you eat spicy food? Or can't you eat it like Xiaoqiu?"

Cheng Ye saw how Qiu Chuyi and the others sang together and had a tacit understanding just now, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart, and also regretted agreeing to come over for dinner with Qiu Chuyi and the others—he thought he could take this opportunity to get to know senior Qiu, but he didn’t Thinking of being jealous of the brotherly love between the two.

So he nodded with a slightly gloomy face, and said, "I don't eat spicy food either. And my mother said that if I like spicy food, my face is prone to acne." He said this on purpose, because he noticed that Song Zhengrong's forehead had grown several times. Red and swollen pimples, this is just a harmless little "revenge".

However, when Song Zhengrong heard this, he immediately turned his head and said to the waiter, "We don't want boiled pork slices for now!" He quickly ordered a few home-cooked dishes for the two of them on his own initiative, including one that was not spicy at all. , as if the person who said it was a pity not to eat spicy food just now was not him.

Seeing this, Qiu Chuyi couldn't help but feel strange—in his impression, Song Zhengrong didn't seem to care about things related to appearance, such as eating spicy food and getting pimples. It can make a straight steel man turn sexual and start caring about appearance. Could it be that there is something? Special case?

So after the waiter finished taking the dishes and left, he asked Song Zhengrong, "Brother Zhengrong, why don't you want boiled pork slices? Do you want to eat it?"

Song Zhengrong shook his head with an inscrutable expression on his face: "Brother Xiaocheng is right in reminding me that I love acne when I eat spicy food. I just can't remember it. I just want to have a momentary appetite..." After finishing speaking, he pointed out a little exaggeratedly. Rubbing his forehead, he asked Qiu Chuyi in a low voice: "Xiao Qiu, do you think these pimples won't affect me and make me ugly?" The expression on his face was also very serious, as if he cared very much.

This twitchy attitude is completely opposite to the straightforward posture of laughing at the two of them just now, but it reminds Cheng Ye that every time he pretends to "encounter" Qiu Chuyi, he will carefully tidy up his clothes and hairstyle-he seems to feel something is wrong What, but he looked at Song Zhengrong's genuinely nervous expression but didn't say anything.

And Qiu Chuyi also obeyed very seriously.He stared at Song Zhengrong's square, heroic and upright face, even with two red and swollen pimples on his forehead, he couldn't hide his original look at all, so he answered honestly: "No."

After speaking, he took a silent look at Cheng Ye from the air, and found that his eyes were clear, and felt that he and the other party should think about it together.

The northern restaurants cook big pot dishes, and the meals are served very quickly. It didn't take long for Song Zhengrong's orders to be served one after another.He believed that it was impossible for Qiu Chuyi to deceive himself, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed that what he just asked was true, so he unnaturally touched the two pimples on his forehead, changed the subject abruptly, and asked his two younger brothers to eat first.

"That... let's talk later, let's eat first."

As a result, the three of them just moved their chopsticks a few times, when Cheng Ye asked lightly, "Brother Zhengrong, are you in a relationship with a girl?"

However, his tone was very natural, as if he was just asking a very normal thing, but Song Zhengrong, a straight steel man, turned red from his neck to his ears in an instant.

Song Zhengrong's personality has always been straightforward, but this time he hesitated for a long time without saying anything, and finally he could only choke out a few words: "It's sort of..."

He faltered: "However, I'm still working hard..."

It turns out that there is someone I like but I haven't caught up with him yet, and she seems to be a goddess with many competitors-this makes sense, and it's no wonder that Song Zhengrong, who is so upright and upright, pays too much attention to his appearance now .

It's nothing to be hypocritical with them.Song Zhengrong also smiled in relief, as if he was laughing at his surprise just now, and explained to his two younger brothers: "That girl is very beautiful, and many people in our school like her, that's why I cared a little before... Uh, it's about appearance."

In the end, he still couldn't let it go. After all, he was taught that face (appearance) is important, but inner face (personality) is more important.

However, after hearing what he said, Cheng Ye glanced out of the corner of his eye at Qiu Chuyi, who was sitting opposite him and was also being pursued by many people, and felt a little bit of sympathy in his heart—he also felt relieved because of this, and planned not to Then deliberately target Song Zhengrong.

Afterwards, perhaps because he told them all about his secrets, Song Zhengrong returned to his original frank and open appearance, and started chatting and laughing with them normally.After Cheng Ye thought about it, he was a familiar character, and Song Zhengrong, who had just met, seemed a bit like seeing each other late.

Time passed quickly amidst laughter.Generally speaking, Qiu Chuyi, Song Zhengrong, and Cheng Ye, who came over out of nowhere, had a satisfactory meal.

But when the three of them were going back to their respective homes after dinner, Song Zhengrong suddenly took out the newly bought camera from his luggage bag, and he said to the two of them, "To be honest, it took me a long time to go back to D. I see it this way, since the three of us are destined to have dinner together today, why not just take a group photo as a souvenir!"

When Cheng Ye heard his suggestion and glanced at Qiu Chuyi beside him, he naturally agreed happily; and Qiu Chuyi also felt that it was not easy for Song Zhengrong to come back once, so he nodded and agreed without thinking too much.

So Song Zhengrong asked the owner of the restaurant to take pictures for them.

The three of them stood behind the dining table that had just been swept by them. At this time, the leftovers on the table had not yet been collected—but for them, the location and the scene were trivial matters, so they didn't need to pay special attention, as long as they were in the photo Enough energy will do!

The boss held up the camera and said, "Hey! Get them all in the middle, and be careful that you won't be able to take pictures of the side for a while—" Then, he pointed to the gap between Cheng Ye and Qiu Chuyi: "Those two boys, let's talk about you guys." ! One more person can stand between the two of you!"

Cheng Ye was arranged to stand in the middle of the three of them. When he heard that Qiu Chuyi was not coming, he took the initiative to join him, with an obviously excited expression on his face.And Qiu Chuyi didn't express his refusal, and soon there was only a very close distance between the two of them, which was less than half a fist.

"Come on, look this way! Look at the camera! The young man looks so energetic, with a smile on his face, don't wait to take a bitter face—one, two, three!"

The three of them also yelled the most popular "eggplant!" in unison.

So with a "click", Cheng Ye took the first photo that belonged to him and Qiu Chuyi - although there was Song Zhengrong who was in the way, every time he looked at it in the future, he would automatically take this photo People filter.

And when he saw this photo again after many years, Cheng Ye realized that when he took pictures back then, in today's words, he was "dead by seeing the light" - he just smiled at the camera and wore a stupid-looking skirt around his neck. The scarf, plus the look of a scissorhands, is simply idiotic.

Song Zhengrong next to him smiled righteously. Even with acne on his forehead, he stood out among the three, definitely the most imposing one in the audience.

And Qiu Chuyi also raised the corners of his mouth slightly in that photo, which was different from the gentle arc he usually showed to people, and his dark eyes seemed more sincere.

I just don't know how his smile at that time was related to Cheng Ye.
