Song Jin froze for a moment, then carefully put the note into the innermost layer of her schoolbag.

Song Jin didn't feel sleepy all afternoon, maybe it was because the coffee was very effective in refreshing her mind, or maybe it was because she sacrificed her meal time at noon to catch up on sleep.

When school was over in the evening, Song Jin put on her schoolbag and walked towards the south gate where the usual driver Xiao Zhang parked.

There was a crowd of people at the south gate of the school. A woman dressed in expensive clothes and well-made up greeted Song Jin, pointed to the boy standing next to Song Jin, and said with a smile, "Son, this is your Uncle Gu." My son, Gu Yanzhou, quickly say hello to him."

The boy was the same age as Song Jin, so Song Jin said hello according to his words: "Hello, Gu Yanzhou, welcome back to China."

Gu Yanzhou, on the other hand, looked at Song Jin with some doubts, and then just nodded his head slightly, with a bit of concern and vigilance in his eyes.

But Song Jin didn't care about these either.

Mother Song patted the shoulders of the two boys and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go to the hotel for dinner."

After getting into the car, Mother Song sat in the passenger seat, while Song Jin and Gu Yanzhou sat in the back row.The driver Xiao Zhang started the car steadily, turned the steering wheel and drove to the city center.

In the car, Song Jin read the word book while responding to Song's mother's chat.

Gu Yanzhou couldn't help but looked at him several times.When she was a child, Song Jin had a bad temper, frivolous and arrogant, and didn't like studying at all.Before returning to China, I heard from former classmates that Song Jin was a school bully who caused trouble all day long from elementary school to high school. If it wasn't for the Song family, he wouldn't have Shunian.

But from the first time I saw him to the present, Song Jin was completely different from what he remembered when he was a child and what his former classmates said.

The sitting posture is correct, the back is straight, and the school uniform is neat and clean. When the eyelashes are lowered and the book is read, the person looks particularly quiet and focused.

"Do you want to drink water?" Gu Yanzhou was in a trance when he heard Song Jin calling him.

"No, no, thank you." Gu Yanzhou thanked him for the water handed to him, then the corners of his mouth curled a little, and he said to Song Jin, "You have changed a lot since you were a child."

On the way to the hotel, Gu Yanzhou couldn't hide his curiosity towards Song Jin, but he still restrained himself and didn't ask too many questions.

And Song Jin herself didn't feel much about this 'childhood playmate', and she didn't even mention this person in the book.Therefore, once Gu Yanzhou talked about childhood, Song Jin would cover it up with 'I have no impression, I don't remember'.And Gu Yanzhou didn't ask any more questions.

"By the way, I haven't asked carefully yet. What's your plan for returning to China this time? You won't go back to country M?" At the dining table in the private room, Father Song asked Gu Hao for a glass of wine.Therefore, everyone's eyes are focused on the latter.

This middle-aged man named Gu Hao has a capable elite demeanor. He drank the red wine in the glass in one go, then put down the glass and said: "I have discussed with Yan Zhou's mother for a long time. After going abroad for so many years, our family I still prefer the domestic environment. I don’t plan to leave when I come back this time, and stay in the country to settle down and develop.”

Hearing this, the woman next to Gu Hao nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, and we Yanzhou also want to enter the Academy of Fine Arts of University A in China, so our family has no reason to go abroad."

"But old Gu, you just abandoned your career in country M for more than ten years? Don't you feel sorry?" Papa Song continued to ask.

Gu Hao owns a well-known law firm in country M. The team is well-known in the industry for being proficient in divorce litigation, and they usually handle marriage dispute lawsuits involving people from famous aristocrats, wealthy elites and the like.Over the years, in country M, Gu Hao's law firm business can be said to be thriving.

But Gu Hao waved his hand and said, "It's not a pity, where the development is different? As for the law firm of M country, it gave me an apprentice half a year ago, I am very relieved."

After listening to this circle, Song Jin always felt that there was something unspeakable about this family.But these are other people's family affairs, and I have no interest in knowing.

Seeing that Song Jin didn't talk much, but quietly ate crab legs dipped in vinegar, Gu Yanzhou, who was sitting next to him, took the initiative to ask him: "I heard that you are studying in Leshan High School? If I'm not mistaken, are you a freshman this year?"

Song Jin frowned slightly.

Both parents are elites, and Gu Yanzhou himself is quite polite, but I don't know why I always feel uncomfortable when talking to him.

"Yes." To avoid embarrassment, Song Jin still answered him.

After hearing this, Gu Yanzhou didn't continue talking, but asked the waiter for another goblet and put it in front of Song Jin, then poured red wine and invited, "Why don't we have a drink together?"

Song Jin didn't want to drink, "No more."

"I will transfer to Leshan to study in a few days after the admission procedures are completed. Let's have a drink to celebrate our becoming classmates?" Gu Yanzhou's words also attracted the attention of the adults at the dinner table, and they all said: "So, then Let's have a toast together", "We will be classmates in the future, we need to help each other".

Fine.

Under the gaze of a table of people, Song Jin couldn't refuse anymore, so she raised her head and drank the glass of red wine.It was the first time in her life to drink alcohol, and because it was not voluntary, Song Jin also complained about the taste of this famous wine. Of course, she had a worse impression of Gu Yanzhou who caused all this.

It seems that Song Jin doesn't even know how to drink alcohol anymore.

Gu Yanzhou smiled in his heart, it really is different from before, it's interesting.

"Which shift do you want to transfer to?" Song Jin casually repeated Gu Yanzhou's words.

Seeing that Song Jin took the initiative to talk, Gu Yanzhou was very happy, and replied: "The art class 3 in the first year of high school, I haven't asked which class you are in?"

"Anyway, I won't be in the same class as you."

It took another one and a half hours for the meal to end, and it was almost nine o'clock in the evening when we returned to Song's house.

Song Jin was sitting at the desk in the room writing tonight's homework. After finishing the mathematics, the stamina of the glass of red wine came up unconsciously. I can't even recognize it.

After reading the letters and Arabic numerals from beginning to end several times, Song Jin still couldn't remember what the concatenated formula meant.

After dawdling for a long time, Song Jin, who couldn't write a question and blushed, closed the homework book irritably, and looked at the alarm clock on the table——

Good guy, it's already 25:[-].

...it's almost 10:30 and he's only done math?

It was a great shame and humiliation in his academic career.

Song Jin was almost crying with anger.

Thinking about changing subjects and fighting again, Song Jin reached into the middle of her schoolbag.

After digging for a long time, my mind was dizzy, and I couldn't find any tricks.

...caught.

Song Jin touched a square note, held it in front of her eyes and unfolded it.

Oh.

It was another series of numbers that he couldn't understand.

——"Every night between 10:30 and [-]:[-], you can contact me by calling this number."

The words Xu Sangci said at noon rang in his mind.

Song Jin finally realized that this was the phone number that Xu Sangci had left for him.Then she also forgot to check what time it is, Song Jin directly grabbed the phone, swiped to the call interface, entered the string of numbers and pressed the dial button.

At [-]:[-] in the middle of the night, Xu Sangci came home from get off work at the Shenhai Internet Cafe. There were not many people on the way, and after walking for a while, he saw an old-looking newsstand standing under a street lamp not far away.The semi-open side is covered with all kinds of newspapers and magazines. An old man is sitting inside, shaking a yellowed and tattered cattail fan in his hand to drive away mosquitoes in late summer.

Xu Sangci walked over with long legs and stopped half a meter away from the newsstand.

The old man was surprised when he saw this, and shouted at Xu Sangci's back: "I said young man, is there something wrong with you standing here?"

"Wait for someone." Xu Sangci responded lightly, and then silently recited the medical words learned on the Internet cafe computer tonight.

"It's strange." The old man snorted and said nothing, leaving Xu Sangci to stand there.

After more than ten minutes, the old man couldn't bear it any longer. He put on his reading glasses and said, "Young man, who are you waiting for so late? It will be 2:10 in two minutes. Look, how many people are passing by on this street?" People? I’m going to close the door and go home at eleven o’clock. The person you’re waiting for is probably asleep.”

Knowing that the old man had good intentions, Xu Sangci was not angry, but after calculating the time in his heart, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Song Jin waited for ten seconds after pressing the dial button, and when she was muttering about hanging up and calling again...it was connected.

"Hello?" Song Jin said angrily, "Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"

The boy's tone fluctuated.Xu Sangci asked on the other end of the phone: "Have you been drinking?"

Song Jin gave him a thumbs up from the air, "Yes, not much, just drank a glass of red wine."

Xu Sangci laughed angrily at him.

Everyone's body is different and their tolerance to alcohol varies greatly.Since Song Jin can't drink, it's best not to touch a drop.

Xu Sangci asked: "Can you still recognize who I am?"

"You are Xu Sangci." Song Jin patted the table and scolded, "I can't understand physics questions now, can't I hear your voice?"

"Song Jin, is there anyone in your family now?" Xu Sangci said, "I don't know why you drink...but you are drunk now, it is very dangerous, let your parents take care of you."

Song Jin looked around the room with her mobile phone, and shook her head, "No one, and I'm not drunk...I, I called to ask you a question. I'll read the question to you..."

Feeling that he was in a good state of mind, Song Jin asked Xu Sangci to tell him the process of solving the problem.

It is a very simple basic question, so simple that Song Jin can directly calculate it in her mind when she is awake.

Xu Sangci couldn't make sense with the drunkard, so he asked Song Jin to sit on the chair and not move around, so that he could give him the lecture.

"...There are so many problems." Song Jin muttered.

What followed was not so much Xu Sangci giving him a lecture, but Song Jin's unilateral soliloquy and provocation.After more than ten minutes like this, Song Jin yawned, "I'm sleepy", and then fell asleep on the table.Xu Sangci hung up the phone after hearing that there was no movement from Song Jin.

The next morning, Song Jin was awakened by the alarm.The moment he sat up straight, the blood in his arm, which had been oppressed all night, revived, and Song Jin felt what it means to be sour in the world.

After recovering his arm, he flipped through the homework on the table... and found that he didn't do any other subjects except mathematics? !What happened last night? ?

After being stunned for a moment, the sealed memories finally opened the floodgates, and Song Jin was about to cry——

Not only was he drunk last night, but he also called Xu Sangci.

It would be fine if it was just a simple phone call... But last night he kept questioning Xu Sangci for countless times, "Do you think of yourself as a friend?" ?
