your name

No matter how dull Zuo Zhengyi was, he could sense something was wrong with "meeting twice a day".Besides, Ji Jue is a person with a criminal record and can do anything.

He has every reason to suspect that Ji Jue is "absolute", playing two roles in one person, engaging in fraud.

Otherwise, how could there be so many coincidences in the world?

As soon as this guess came out, Zuo Zhengyi's face darkened.

Seeing that he didn't refuse, Ji Jue had already sat down opposite him, put his phone on the table, his posture was casual, his expression was much calmer than Zuo Zhengyi expected, as if he had never done anything wrong since he was born, and his body was not afraid The shadow is oblique.

Zuo Zhengyi's eyes fell on Ji Jue's cell phone.

Then he glanced at his phone again. In WeChat, the chat window of "Jue" actually displayed "typing".

Zuo Zhengyi was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Ji Jue again. The latter was scrolling through the menu, and the distance between his fingers and the phone was almost 8000 meters away.

Did he guess wrong?

At this time, Ji Jue suddenly raised his head and asked in confusion, "Is there something on my face? Brother, why are you staring at me?"

Zuo Zhengyi: "..."

"No, you order."

Zuo Zhengyi hesitated for a moment: "It's past nine o'clock, why did you come out to eat hot pot so late?"

"It's okay at nine o'clock." Ji Jue answered freely, "Actually, I came to buy peripherals. I just moved into Scorpion, so I'm not used to things from the base."

This reason is quite reasonable.

Opposite is a peripheral street, which is built according to the electronic city. Players who live in the industrial park like to come here to buy things.

Zuo Zhengyi didn't say anything anymore.

He stared at the chat window of "Jue", poked his fingers aimlessly, and suddenly saw "voice call".

Zuo Zhengyi thought about it.

——Verification is very simple, just make a phone call.

Without hesitation, he dialed immediately.

A strong intuition that the other party would not answer the phone floated in his mind, but Zuo Zhengyi guessed wrong, and the call only rang three times before the call was connected.

"Hello?" There was an unfamiliar male voice on the opposite side, and it seemed a little surprised to see him calling.

"..."

Zuo Zhengyi paused, it's normal to be unfamiliar, they never had a voice conversation, he didn't know what the voice of "Jue" was like.

Zuo Zhengyi was a little embarrassed, it turned out that he was really maliciously speculating about Ji Jue, did he think too much?

Forget it, after being disturbed like this, he didn't have the heart to get angry with "Jue", the anger was dissipated by an inexplicable emotion, and he was even a little dazed.

And "Jue" was very embarrassed, and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to let you go, the club suddenly came to me..."

"It's okay, you are busy. I can eat by myself."

Zuo Zhengyi quickly hung up the phone, and when he looked up, Ji Jue was sizing him up.

"Brother, who are you talking to? Did you just make an appointment?"

"A friend." Zuo Zhengyi said, "He has something to do and won't come."

"Is that so?" Ji Jue didn't ask further.

The atmosphere fell into silence.

In just a few minutes, they finished ordering, and the waiter brought the soup at the bottom of the pot and turned on the fire.

It's mandarin duck pot. Zuo Zhengyi doesn't like spicy food, but Ji Jue likes it.

When they used to cook hot pot at home, it was inconvenient to make two kinds, so they had to cook according to Zuo Zhengyi's taste every time.

Ji Jue never complained. He pretended in front of Zuo Zhengyi that "I'm happy when my brother is happy", and didn't allow Zuo Zhengyi to buy spicy seasoning. I don’t like things that my brother doesn’t like, eliminate the peppers!”

Zuo Zhengyi thought he was so obedient.

However, the real Ji Jue is a white-eyed wolf.

Now that the white-eyed wolf has grown up, perhaps because of bad luck, they sat together by coincidence and ate hot pot at the same table.

Ji Jue actually remembered what Zuo Zhengyi liked to eat, so he offered to serve him.

"I didn't expect such a coincidence." Ji Jue said, "I can meet you at any restaurant tonight for dinner."

"It's a coincidence." Zuo Zhengyi was not very interested.

Ji Jue glanced at him, and suddenly said, "Brother, I have something to explain."

"what's up?"

"I didn't make my words clear, and you misunderstood." Ji Jue lowered his head, his expression a little embarrassed, "I said before that I didn't play professionally for you, and I didn't deliberately distance myself from you. I was afraid that you would hate me. So to clarify: I am not here to trouble you, and I will never pester you."

Zuo Zhengyi was a little surprised.

Ji Jue seemed to be afraid that he would not believe it, and he emphasized again: "Although we have become colleagues, I will definitely keep a distance from you, so you can rest assured."

"..."

Zuo Zhengyi was silent.

When Ji Jue grew up, his facial features were profound, and it was difficult to pretend to be cute. Instead, there was a bit of melancholy in his brows and eyes, like a male protagonist in a literary movie with a cold appearance and a struggling heart, every look is full of unspeakable secrets.

He said: "I was immature before. After you left, I reflected on it for a long time. I was too selfish and let down the... brotherhood between us. I'm sorry, brother."

"..."

The hot pot boiled, bubbling and bubbling.The cooked food floated on the water and kept churning, steaming between the two of them.

The air conditioner was humming, and a few guests at the next table were drinking, and burst into laughter from time to time, very happy and noisy.

Zuo Zhengyi was speechless, and his mood was complicated.

After four years, he was really not angry with Ji Jue anymore, this was not pretending to be calm.

But the grievance between him and Ji Jue is not only about Ji Jue, but involves the entire Tanzhou Island and everything before he was 15 years old.

Ji Jue destroyed all those beautiful things, and every time Zuo Zhengyi recalled his hometown, the deepest feeling was always pain and regret.

Even if Ji Jue apologized and reformed, so what?

Time cannot be turned back.

The broken youth cannot be spliced ​​back together.

But having said that, Ji Jue himself is also a part of "everything". At this time, Zuo Zhengyi glanced at Ji Jue, and saw the self who was once relied on by the other party.

Two people who grow up together will shape each other, just like the original family can affect a person's character.

Zuo Zhengyi is confident in his bones, and a large part of his confidence comes from Ji Jue's reliance and admiration.

Ji Jue gave him an unparalleled sense of faith: I stand tall, I am strong, and I can open up the world for my younger brother.

Because of this, Zuo Zhengyi subconsciously defines himself as a "parent", "controller", and "person with the right to speak", and does not rely on others, and does not need someone with a higher standing to help him make decisions.

He likes to be in charge.

So he is the commander at WSND, and he is used to being supported and obeyed by others, not the other way around.

——This is also the imbalance in his relationship with Ji Jue.

He knew how Ji Jue influenced him, but he didn't know what positive meaning he had in Ji Jue's life.

Even Ji Jue's image is blurred.

Zuo Zhengyi didn't know the real Ji Jue, he only knew that he was a fraud.

And now four years have passed, if you want to talk to each other again, where is your heart?

The flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water are nothing more than flowers in the mirror. When you reach out, you can only get a handful of them.

Ji Jue also seemed to have noticed this, and said with him in a tacit understanding: "You may not understand how important you are to me. After you left... I suddenly realized that there will never be someone who is so kind to me in this life. People, what should I do?"

Ji Jue lowered his head deeply, and Zuo Zhengyi could only see the lower half of his face. He said, "I want to start over even in my dreams. But you already have a better life. I lived it selfishly once, and I can't The second time I am selfish, I will absolutely—absolutely never bother you again, losing you is what I deserve."

"..."

Before Zuo Zhengyi could speak, Ji Jue stopped the passing waiter: "Two bottles of wine."

"What drink would you like, sir?"

"A higher alcohol content." Ji Jue chose from the wine list for a moment, "This one."

Zuo Zhengyi: "..."

"Is alcohol forbidden in your base?" Zuo Zhengyi's head got a little big, "Drink less."

Ji Jue said, "I don't know, it doesn't matter."

"..."

It was obvious that he wanted to drink away his worries, but Zuo Zhengyi couldn't stop him, and Ji Jue even poured him a glass, but Zuo Zhengyi didn't like to drink, so he didn't touch it.

Ji Jue drank alone, one cup after another.

Zuo Zhengyi didn't care about him, he just ate his food.

Alcohol makes people hot, and so does hot pot.

After a while, Ji Jue's face began to turn red, and his eyes were also a little red.Zuo Zhengyi glanced at him, suspecting that he was wrong, so he glanced again.

Just after Ji Jue confessed, he stopped talking, looking as if he had learned from the painful experience.

Zuo Zhengyi inexplicably wanted to laugh.

"Don't drink." He pushed away Ji Jue's hand that continued to pour the wine, and snatched the glass away, "It's almost over, don't be miserable in front of me, if you want to cry, go home and cry in front of the mirror."

"I'm sorry." Ji Jue's voice was deep and he spoke slowly, as if he was a little drunk.

Zuo Zhengyi said: "I won't be soft-hearted towards you, don't think too much, understand?"

Ji Jue nodded obediently.

Zuo Zhengyi felt at ease again.

Although tonight was full of surprises, the meal was quite satisfactory.

"I'm full." Zuo Zhengyi called the waiter, "Pay the bill."

Ji Jue said first, "Let me pay."

"unnecessary."

"Yes, I owe my brother, and I shouldn't owe you more."

Zuo Zhengyi glanced at him: "Then AA."

"..."

The waiter watched the whole process, and said with high professionalism: "The total is five hundred and two yuan, and I will give you a small change, and you will be charged five hundred. That is two per person—er, I will charge you 490 nine."

Zuo Zhengyi: "..."

I have never been so silent in my life.

After paying the bill, Zuo Zhengyi got up and went out.Ji Jue was drunk, followed him closely, and explained: "I'm not following you, I'm on my way."

It's true that they are going back to the base.

Zuo Zhengyi was about to stop the car on the side of the road, but Ji Jue couldn't stand still, and fell on him repeatedly.

He was a little helpless, but he was not as knowledgeable as a drunkard, so he kindly reached out to support Ji Jue.The latter was very drunk, but he still remembered what he said just now, took the initiative to stand a little further away, and said as if to clear his suspicion: "Leave me alone, I keep my word, and I will definitely not pester you, I will go away—"

It's still a little pitiful, like a little cabbage that no one cares about and loves.

Zuo Zhengyi: "..."

"Okay, go on your own." Zuo Zhengyi said coldly, "I'll take the subway back."

He turned around and left, but Ji Jue suddenly came to pull him.

Drunk people didn't attack seriously, Zuo Zhengyi was pulled so violently that he staggered and fell towards the electric pole by the side of the road unexpectedly.

Ji Jue's heavy body pressed up and pressed him into his arms.
