desolate

By the time the two finished messing around, it was already midnight.

Zhou Ze was the first to light a cigarette, wearing only a pair of shorts, and curled up on a chair by the French window. The wine he drank earlier had long since evaporated with the sweat from exercising, and his body was sticky and uncomfortable. bath.

Pei also came out of the bathroom and handed him the wet hot towel.

"Wipe first."

He spit out a puff of smoke, spreading between the two of them.

Pei also sat down opposite and found a lighter from a table of takeaway garbage.

Flames sprang up.

"What are you looking at?"

Zhou Ze didn't look away, but stretched out his hand and tapped on the window glass: "Well... I came here twice and got off at this station, but I didn't expect it to be renovated after only half a year. I almost didn't recognize it. I don’t know what will happen next time.”

Pei also followed his gaze. The old station diagonally opposite the hotel has been in this city for many, many years. Many people are greeted and sent here. A few years ago, there was not even a security check machine at the door. In the waiting hall, there is only one entrance, and there is no need for a ticket check.

I don't know if it was to mediate the atmosphere or deliberately tease.

Pei Ye said: "Tsk, a bully is a bully, even the emotional world is richer than us mortals."

"..."

Damn, incomprehensible stuff.

Zhou Ze rolled his eyes at him and extinguished the cigarette on the tin foil box.

Seeing him standing up, Pei Ye asked casually, "What are you doing?"

Zhou Ze boldly walked to the door of the bathroom, and leaned against the door frame naked, looking like a hooligan: "Taking a bath, do you want to come together?"

The corner of Pei Ye's mouth twitched.

"Thank you, no, I've washed it."

Zhou Ze hooked his hands: "Come on, by the way, I'll let you try too - there's a supply store downstairs, if you buy it, I'll get it for you..."

However, before he finished speaking, Zhou Ze was pushed into the bathroom by the red-faced man.

For the first time, Pei also tasted the evil results of being cheap.

……

This summer is extremely hot, and the cicadas are so hot that they scream.

Outside the heavy curtains, the sky was as blue as washing, and the sky was cloudless.

Zhou Zelai only paid one day's room rate when he came, and he was supposed to check out at noon the next day, but he patronized Le the night before, and no one woke up when he checked out.

So Zhou Ze simply continued for two months.

And Pei Ye wanted him to move to a rental house, but Zhou Ze was reluctant when he heard that Su Ya was there, because he was afraid of fighting with Su Ya.

Although the words are a bit serious, the truth is the truth.

Even if Zhou Ze'an lives in peace, Su Ya will be a ticking time bomb.

Besides, Young Master Zhou didn't discuss it with him at all, and paid the rent for two months with a wave of his hand, without blinking an eye.

"Curly hair heard that you came back, and said to have dinner together tonight."

Pei Ye also stopped by after work, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw him lying on the bed reading a book.

"Why are you still in bed?"

He grabbed Zhou Ze's swaying calf, but in exchange for him kicking him wildly.

"Don't move, my ass hurts."

Pei Ye's ears burned, and he barely changed his face, and sat next to him: "Does it really hurt?"

Holding the sacred knowledge in his arms, but full of confusion and fascination, Zhou Ze closed the book angrily.

"Brother, I'm studying!" He vented his anger confidently, "Do you want me to find a job and have nothing to eat in the future?"

Pei also raised his hands in surrender: "I was wrong." He looked around the messy room, "But let's not talk about whether there will be any food in the future, let's think about how to solve today's dinner, will it work?"

Zhou Ze leaned against the head of the bed, leisurely watched him tidy up his dirty clothes, and asked tentatively, "What, is there a treat?"

"Yes."

"...You didn't say it earlier."

Zhou Ze sat up straight with a carp.

If you have an advantage, don't take advantage of the bastard

Pei Ye carried the dirty clothes basket and said, "Hurry up, we'll go out when I come back."

"Oh."

The wind in summer nights is dry and warm, without the scorching sun, people who are nestled at home all rush out after the sun goes down.

Zhou Ze has been back for two days, and this is the first time he has gone out.

He has seen Pingjiang in autumn and winter, either too dry or too cold, but summer makes him feel comfortable.

The hotel is not far from the place to eat, but because the nearby road is narrow and it is near the bustling business district, it is often blocked, so the two of them planned to walk directly.

On the way, Zhou Ze finally remembered to ask some fundamental questions: "How do they know I'm back?"

Although he was a classmate, he still knew whether the relationship was good or not. This dinner could not be because of him, let alone this high-sounding reason.

"Curly heard that I asked for leave yesterday, and asked me what was going on, and I said you are back."

"you said so?"

"What are you afraid of?" Pei also looked at him with a smile.

"I'm not afraid." Zhou Ze touched the tip of his nose.

He doesn't have any close friends. Although his cousin found out that he was in love with Chen Shirui before, and later blew himself up with Ma Wenjing, it doesn't mean that he thinks that this matter can be shouted around with a loudspeaker.

After all, Ms. Ma still feels that he likes men because he lacks love since he was a child—it's not that he doesn't understand, it's just that he doesn't accept it.

Therefore, it can be seen from her that some people clamoring for equality are actually just because the matter has nothing to do with them. If one day the person concerned becomes himself, there will be a fool/force to say that sentence: Then you won't like me Bar?

Pei also seemed to see his worry, so he took his hand lightly: "It's okay, curly hair is a fool, even if I tell him that I like men, he won't believe it, and the others will not be so free."

Zhou Ze shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid that they will know. Anyway, they have nothing to do with me, and they don't know me very well. At most, they just know each other. I wasn't afraid of being classmates before, but now I'm not even classmates, so I don't even worry about what they think of me. gone."

Pei also reasonably said: "Then I'm not worried."

Zhou Ze choked.

The sweat in the palms forced the two to separate, and Pei Ye walked up the short steps calmly, with the city lights behind him, and the wind in the alley bulged his clothes.

Are you really not afraid?

So many pairs of eyes cast incomprehensible, unfriendly glances at you.There are your relatives, your friends, even unrelated strangers.

At that time, it will definitely be sad.

But these they recognized.

Willingly.

……

The place for dinner is a barbecue restaurant, which is located in an old street.The whole street is a night market, and you can smell the food as soon as you approach it.

When the two arrived, it was more than ten minutes later than the agreed time, but when they walked into the private room, they found that they were not the last ones.

Xu Duozhi was still the most enthusiastic one. As soon as he saw them, he stretched out his hand to say hello: "Grandpa Pei! Brother Ze! Come here, I have reserved a place for you! Brother Ze, why do you feel that you have become more handsome after not seeing them for half a year?"

Zhou Ze followed behind Pei Ye, silently sizing up the people at the table, besides Wen Jialang and Xu Duozhi, there were also the former squad leader Qin Yan and her best friend Gu Xiaona, he could name them.As for the other boy, although he looks familiar, he still can't remember where he met him.

"Pei Ye, have I met your friend before?"

As soon as Zhou Ze turned his gaze away from him, the boy made a move.

Pei Ye hummed, then lowered his head and explained to Zhou Ze: "Jin Yang, we had barbecue together before, a junior high school classmate."

Jin Yang smoked a cigarette as if no one was around: "Tsk, why are you a junior high school classmate? You're too old, Brother Pei."

"...Is it over?"

Pei slapped him unceremoniously, but the other party didn't take it seriously, so he smiled and didn't say anything else.

Xu Duozhi jumped out in a timely manner: "Okay, let's send brother Wen off tonight, don't you want to save face?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ze lowered his head silently and asked Pei Ye, "Farewell banquet? What's going on?"

Pei Ye didn't seem to know either: "What Curly told me was that Wen Jialang was going abroad, so before I came, I thought it was just from our class."

Obviously, Jin Yang's appearance is very abnormal.

But something even stranger is yet to come.

Not long after the table was bustling, the door of the private room was pushed open again.

"Yo, we're late."

Ju Haonan walked in first.

The yellow hair on the top of his head has been shaved short. Compared with the non-mainstream hairstyle before, this one suits his temperament better now.

And there are two girls behind him, one is led by Ju Haonan, Zhou Ze remembers her face, she once came to class six to look for Li Pingan, but unfortunately her name has been forgotten.

one left……

Meng Chuyu sighed softly, and looked at Pei Ye and Zhou Ze curiously: "Are you also there?"

She graciously sat next to Jin Yang, and happened to be face to face with Pei Ye.

At this point, all the invited people for the meal are counted.

After a complicated and confusing introduction, Zhou Ze finally sorted out the relationship between the characters present.

Qin Yan and Gu Xiaona were recruited by Xu Duozhi to make up the numbers, but what Wen Jialang really wanted to invite was his goddess of white moonlight, Meng Chuyu. Unfortunately, she is now Jin Yang's girlfriend, so Wen Jialang had no choice but to invite Ju Haonan and his girlfriend. The girlfriend also called.

Leaving aside the relationship, Zhou Ze was already taken aback by the fact that these people knew each other.

"Zhou Ze, when did you come back?"

I don't know why, since Meng Chuyu came in, Qin Yan talked more inexplicably, either picking up on Xu Duozhi, or joking with Gu Xiaona, and now suddenly calling Zhou Ze's name.

In short, the sense of presence is wiped out.

"I'm coming back from vacation to live for a while."

"Then can I play with you when I have time? You changed schools suddenly at that time, and your classmates still miss you a lot."

"Hehe, is that right? Next time, definitely next time."

Zhou Ze smiled perfunctorily on the surface, but secretly, he threatened Pei Ye with hand gestures very seriously to get some roasted pork belly from the opposite side.

"Is it the wine you ordered?"

At this time, the proprietress pushed the door open and entered, bringing in two boxes of beer one after another, and the glass bottles jingled.

The girls were a little surprised. After all, they don't drink very much and don't drink much. They subconsciously feel that the wine is a bit too much.

However, Wen Jialang responded with a move, and said that there is no bottle of sky blue.

Thanks to himself, Zhou Ze didn't want to see the wine for a while, so when they shared the wine, he took medicine to hide.

And Ju Haonan was the first to raise his glass: "Pei Ye, I haven't seen you recently, let's have a drink, shall we?"

Pei also raised his glass: "I just saw it last week."

Ju Haonan grinned: "Oh, I forgot."

Sitting next to him, Wei Jin pulled his clothes carefully, and Xiaoyi said to him softly: "Drink less..."

Ju Haonan seemed to be very pleased, he turned his head and kissed her face.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Ze unfortunately remembered that she was in front of Li Pingan.It seems that because of the different people around her, she has become different.

Jin Yang suddenly came over: "Hey, you drank with Brother Nan, so you have to have a drink with me too?"

Pei Ye didn't raise his glass this time, but squinted at him: "Today's protagonist is Wen Jialang, why don't you drink with him, why keep staring at me?"

"It's fine, it's fine, just come out to play, everyone is happy, these things don't seem to be enough, do you want to order something else?"

The "protagonist" Wen Jialang stood up to smooth things over, while handing the menu to Meng Chuyu, who was three seats away from him.

Although this move was not inappropriate, it was still a bit strange. Fortunately, other people's attention was not on it.After Meng Chuyu took the menu, he also asked other people's opinions while talking and laughing.

This round, I don't know how many times better than Wen Jialang.

"affectation."

Here, Qin Yan lowered her head and cursed at Gu Xiaona in a low voice.Turning his head, he smiled and asked Meng Chuyu to order a bottle of milk for her.

That smile was more sincere than ever.

Watching them knowingly play dumb.

As the only bystander, Zhou Ze suddenly felt a little tired from the meal.
