Rising like the sun

Zhao Haocheng almost happily watched Meng Sheng go away, "Yezi, what's the matter with your face?"

"It's my dad, we had a fight."

Zhao Haocheng nodded knowingly, "Damn, fight back next time, don't suffer."

"En." Lin Zhiye dealt with it vaguely. He only told Zhao Haocheng the basic situation of his family, and never said much.

"Where were you going just now?"

Lin Zhiye watched Meng Sheng's tall back completely disappear among the pedestrians, "I don't have any goals, just stroll around."

"We're going to escape from the secret room. It's a scary one. Would you like to come too?"

Lin Zhiye hesitated, then agreed.The two girls exchanged glances happily.

The overall style of the escape room they played was similar to "Silent Hill", which really scared Lin Zhiye a lot.The two girls were even scarier than ghosts, pulling his arm and screaming.After escaping from birth, his heart was still beating wildly.

Then I went to the billiard hall again. After supper, it was nearly midnight.

Lin Zhiye rejected Zhao Haocheng's proposal of "going for a drink" and said, "I'm a little tired."

Zhao Haocheng glanced at the two girls with a smirk, turned his back to them and grabbed Lin Zhiye's shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Which one do you like?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's all this time, wouldn't it be a pity to send them home directly, and they also have this intention."

Lin Zhiye smiled awkwardly, "I don't think so."

"I think you're unhappy, and you really need to have some fun." Zhao Haocheng breathed hotly into his ears, "Once you have been in contact with girls, you won't like to play with Meng Sheng's elm bump anymore .”

Lin Zhiye's heart tightened, did he see his relationship with Meng Sheng?

"How did you meet them?" Lin Zhiye diverted the topic elsewhere.

"You don't pay attention to me too much, do you? When they took a photo with you at the pizzeria last time, I added one of them on WeChat. Don't worry, they are all adults."

Lin Zhiye continued to refuse, "I'm really tired."

Zhao Haocheng did not continue to sell him the "one-night stand" stress-relief method, but simply said: "Then I will take you home."

"I do not want to go home."

"That's right, you had a quarrel with your family." Zhao Haocheng walked to the three people, said a few words, and then returned, "Let them play by themselves, I will accompany you."

Afterwards, he drove Lin Zhiye to a nearby high-end hotel, "Can you deal with it for one night here?"

Lin Zhiye had no reason to object, and he really needed a bed to rest.From evening till now, the tension in my mind seems to be breaking.

"Shall I accompany you? I told my family before I went out that I won't go back tonight. "

Thinking of those two girls, Lin Zhiye chuckled and said, "Then I missed your good deed."

"It's also a good thing to be with you... just make it up to me?"

Lin Zhiye is used to his frequent teasing.I have to say that like Meng Sheng, he is a very energetic person.With such a person, life will always feel more lovely.

When Zhao Haocheng went to check in with their ID cards, Lin Zhiye edited a message and wanted to send it to Meng Sheng, hoping to know what happened to his nose.However, thinking of his self-righteous consolation and his sudden departure, Lin Zhiye deleted all the words he entered.

Seeing that Zhao Haocheng wanted a standard room, Lin Zhiye heaved a sigh of relief, because he really didn't want to be tickled like he was when he slept out last time.

After washing, he lay down on the bed exhausted, and asked Zhao Haocheng who was brushing his hair, "So you smoke?"

"Not smoking at school."

"Never smelled smoke on you."

"When we first met in the first year of high school, you said that you hated the smell of cigarettes. I don't want you to hate me."

Lin Zhiye smiled silently.

Zhao Haocheng turned off the lights, and lay down too, "Have you been with Meng Sheng these weekends? It's really hard to ask you out."

"There are also many things of my own."

"Before that guy came, I was your number one weekend VIP." Zhao Haocheng said unwillingly, "What's so good about him that he would let you get so close to him."

"He...can cook."

"Cooking? Haha," Zhao Haocheng laughed exaggeratedly, "When you go to the housekeeping company, you can grab a bunch of them, and you can eat all kinds of dishes until you vomit."

Lin Zhiye also laughed along with him, and unconsciously glanced at the phone.That person still hasn't sent any messages.

"It's right for you to make friends with Li Xin. It's the first time I've met him with such a good mind. But Meng Sheng, if you want grades, you don't have grades, you don't have family background, and you can't make a living at a high altitude. You and Isn't he lowering his value by getting too close?"

Lin Zhiye was silent for a moment, "Why do you have to evaluate so much? It's not about venture capital... making friends, isn't it just as long as you feel happy?"

"Well, if you are indifferent, I am a hypocrite," Zhao Haocheng said in a frank tone, "If you are not handsome, I will not curry favor with you. I make friends based on profit."

Lin Zhiye didn't know how much he was telling the truth, "But I don't seem to have brought you any good."

"It's enough to be eye-catching, I can think of you to do a lot of things..."

Lin Zhiye laughed lightly as if hearing a joke, "Then I'm in danger now."

"It's not the first time you've been in danger." Zhao Haocheng said in a deep voice.

After a while of silence, he suddenly burst out laughing, "Are you scared?"

Lin Zhiye wasn't frightened by the "danger", but the burst of Zhang Fei-like laughter shocked him.

"Do you often date strange girls like this?"

In the darkness, there was a "hmm" sound.

"It's enough to have a regular girlfriend."

"Trouble, it's full every weekend."

"Do you have any big business for the weekend?"

"...What if you find me and I can't get away."

Drowsiness struck, Lin Zhiye clicked on Meng Sheng's profile picture before falling asleep, and found that the other party was typing.His hanging heart seemed to have fallen to the ground, he waited quietly, but after a few minutes, there was still no movement.

Lin Zhiye "cut" in his heart, pressed the phone under the pillow, and closed his eyes.

Distraught, Meng Xing deleted those words that had been brewing for a long time, and made a somewhat crazy decision: go downstairs for a run.

I don't want to worry about whether Zhao Haocheng is messing with him, what the two beautiful girls said about the group photo, and whether they went drinking again...

Meng Sheng went downstairs wearing only a hoodie, and was immediately blown away by the -10-degree cold air imported from Siberia.

After warming up, when jogging along the side of the road for about 1 kilometer, the phone rang.

Meng Sheng hesitated, but still picked it up, "Lin, Uncle Lin, are you home?"

"Well, 81 is difficult..." Father Lin paused for a moment when he heard that his breath was uneven, and then continued, "Did I bother you?"

"What? I'm exercising."

"...I know, remember to do that well," Father Lin seemed to be unable to say, "protective measures."

"Oh, it's okay, it's a bit cold, but I just warmed up."

"Ah? Are you outside? Would it be too... well, let's not talk about this, is Ye Zi okay?"

"He's sad."

"You must be optimistic about him, he is prone to problems when he is in a bad mood..."

"But Uncle Lin," Meng Sheng said with some difficulty, "is this your responsibility?"

"Do you think he will communicate with me? Since his mother passed away, we haven't had a good conversation. He will listen to you."

Meng Sheng raised his head and saw that the white air he exhaled overlapped with the night sky, he smiled helplessly, "Don't think too much about my energy, in fact, I only occupy a small part of his life."

"Don't bother me anymore." Father Lin coughed a few times, as if he had caught a cold.

"By the way, Uncle Lin," Meng Sheng felt guilty, "I didn't hit you on purpose, I'm sorry."

"Forget it, forget it."

"But you..." Meng Xing hesitated to speak, "Oh, I won't say anything."

"What do you want to say?"

"...you're such a scumbag."

Father Lin was silent for a long time. Just as Meng Sheng thought he was disconnected, he heard the other party sigh quietly, "Yes."

Before hanging up the call, Meng Xing heard a woman with a loud voice shouting: "Hey, hey, you've been rolling needles, don't you feel any pain?"

"That kid's hands are too dark, what a hatred, put a cigarette butt on his face." On Monday, Li Yu took a lunch break to carefully examine the wound on Meng Sheng's face.

"It's a misunderstanding." Meng Sheng simply told Li Yu what happened. As for Lin Zhiye's family ethics drama, he only used "arguing with his father" to explain it lightly.

"It's okay, the nose is not crooked. Didn't you claim that you haven't suffered in fights since you graduated from kindergarten?"

"It's impossible to guard against."

Li Xin also came, and the first thing she said after she was seated was: "Have you read today's vocabulary?"

Li Yu hurriedly took out his mobile phone and pulled out the words recorded in the note, "I read 8 in the morning and the rest in the afternoon."

Li Xin glanced at the phone screen, "The first 8, right? All right."

Then he signaled Li Yu to put his phone away, and took a mouthful of rice, "How do you read kangaroo?"

"Look... see a tit."

Li Xin almost spit out the rice, "I'm still watching a bird."

"Isn't it right?" Meng Xing asked.

"Which country were your original English teachers from?"

"Get rid of the boredom!" The two said in unison.

"Okay, it's you, right?"

After Li Xin finished asking 8 words, he suddenly asked: "What does kangaroo mean?"

"Ah... probably some form of grow..." Li Yu's big eyes looked at the lights on the ceiling of the cafeteria in a daze.

Meng Sheng said: "Koala! No...kangaroo!"

Li Xin nodded, "Very good."

Meng Sheng asked enviously, "You can remember the order of the eight words just by looking at them?"

"No," Li Xin smiled modestly, "I remember 20."

Li Yu and Meng Xing looked at each other, and they both deeply felt that the gap between themselves and Li Xin was bigger than that between monkeys and humans.

Meng Sheng glanced around silently, and finally met Li Xin's eyes.

"Yezi didn't come to class today." Li Xin saw through Meng Sheng's thoughts.

"Oh……"

"He told me yesterday that he had a fight with his family and you, and you and Zhao Haocheng fought because of him." Li Xin told Meng Sheng what he knew like a tongue twister, "He doesn't want to say too much, I I didn't ask."
