The day before the end of the summer vacation, Jiang Li left the coffee shop after finishing his last morning shift.
When the salary was settled, the manager saw that he had performed well during this period, and gave him some extra bonuses, and said that he could come back to work or work part-time as long as he wanted.
Jiang Li thanked the other party, greeted other colleagues and left the coffee shop.
Outside, Jiang Li happened to meet Xu Haowen who was passing by.
During the summer vacation, Xu Haowen also came to the coffee shop several times. Although Jiang Li and him were not familiar, they could be regarded as nodding acquaintances. When they met, they naturally wanted to say hello.
Seeing him coming out of the coffee shop, Xu Haowen asked aloud, "Are you off work?"
"I resigned." Jiang Li smiled at him, "School will start soon, and I don't have time to go to work."
Xu Haowen nodded understandingly. After greeting, both of them didn't know what to say. Jiang Li asked Chi Fang and Feng Yu to have dinner, said "I'll go first" and walked past Xu Haowen, taking the elevator Go up to the second floor of the building.
I found Chi Fang and Feng Yu in the small double room of the Internet cafe. The two were wearing headphones and playing an online PK match, and they didn't look up at Jiang Li's arrival.
After getting along for a summer vacation, the three of them had already gotten to know each other well, and Jiang Li didn't care, and sat down on the small sofa beside them and waited for them.
A round of PK was over, and Chi Fang won Feng Yu again without any pressure.
"Damn it." Feng Yu raised his head and yelled, took off the earphones and threw them on the table, with both hands pinching Chi Fang's neck, "I'm going to strangle you to death!!"
"Let go." Chi Fang pushed his hand away and stood up from the sofa, "Go and eat, I'm starving to death."
"I don't! Play two more rounds!" Feng Yu, who lost for an afternoon, was not convinced.
"It's the same after a few rounds."
"Then I will fight Jiang Li."
"..."
Chi Fang looked at him in disbelief: "Are you sure?"
"What? Can't you?" Feng Yu gave him a strange look, and said to Jiang Li who was sitting on the sofa, "Jiang Li, can you play? No, I'll teach you."
"A little bit." Jiang Li got up from the sofa and sat down in front of the computer Chi Fang was using just now, "Chi Fang taught me before."
"Okay, let's play two rounds, don't be afraid, I will let you." Feng Yu eagerly put on his earphones.
"Okay, thank you." Jiang Li smiled.
A round lasted only a few minutes, and Feng Yu, who said he wanted to let Jiang Li go, was beaten like a dog.
Looking at the big word "failure" on the screen, Feng Yu blinked, but still hadn't recovered: "What happened?"
"It's you who lost, idiot!" Chi Fang stood behind and slapped him on the back of the head, "It's still making people feel ashamed."
"No, Jiang Li, why are you so powerful!" Feng Yu asked.
Jiang Li took off the earphones and said modestly, "It's mainly because Chi Fang taught well."
"No wonder, famous teachers make great apprentices!" Feng Yu had never beaten Chi Fang in games, so he raised his thumbs up to Chi Fang without any doubt after hearing what he said.
Chi put his forehead on his forehead, thinking that you should shut up the fuck, I'm so embarrassed by the compliments!
The three of them walked out of the Internet cafe, talking about what to eat while walking, and ran into Xu Haowen on the way downstairs.
Xu Haowen and Chi Fang were classmates in the same class. Feng Yu waved to each other and he nodded.
The two sides passed by each other, Xu Haowen stood upstairs and looked back down, wondering how Jiang Li and Chi Fang got to know each other, they seemed to have a pretty good relationship.
On the other side, after distanced himself from Xu Haowen, Feng Yu's heart of gossip also ignited a raging fire, and asked Jiang Li in a low voice: "Brother, I heard that you like Xu Haowen, is it true or not? Why? You didn't look excited when you met Xu Haowen just now? It's not at all different from those female classmates who like Brother Chi."
"What are you teasing me for? I'm sick." Chi Fang gave him a sideways look.
"Let's use an analogy." Feng Yu waved his hands with a smile, and asked Jiang Li again, "Is that right? Don't worry, even if you like men, brother, I won't look down on you."
"Do you think it's worth it? You're not as good at studying as Jiang Li, and you're not as good at games as Jiang Li." Chi Fang sarcastically said.
"I said Brother Chi, why are you like a watering can today, spraying me all day?" Feng Yu asked strangely, "Aren't you curious?"
"I'm not as boring as you." Chi Fang snorted, putting his hands in his pockets, seemingly indifferent to Jiang Li and Xu Haowen's affairs, but his ears perked up involuntarily.
Regarding the bickering between the two, Jiang Li smiled, and said frankly: "It's not like I like it, but it should be considered a good impression. After all, he is so good. Compared with him, one is in the sky and the other is in the ground, so I think To be like him."
The original body was only sixteen years old, his mother ran away from home when he was young, and his father never cared for him except beating and scolding. In the environment where he grew up, he couldn't tell what it was like to like or to love. Emotion, he said that he likes Xu Haowen is not accurate, in fact, it is more a kind of admiration and admiration.
As he said in his diary, he longs to be like the other person, like a bunch of warm sunshine that can illuminate people who live in dark corners like himself, or like a bunch of bright flowers that can be given to others Leave a lingering fragrance in your hand, not a grass of inferiority and cowardice, helpless and helpless.
After hearing what he said, Feng Yu touched his chin half-understanding: "That is to say, he is your idol?"
Chi Fang: "..." So it's true that only learning is in your heart
"Then why didn't you clarify? There was a lot of rumors in our class, saying that you like that nerd Xu Haowen." Feng Yu asked puzzled.
"I can't clarify." Jiang Li shook his head. Originally, he was in a situation where he didn't please his teacher or his classmates. No matter what he said, no one would believe him.
"The clear ones are clear, and the turbid ones are turbid. There's no need to worry about it." Chi Fang said aside. With his character, he always dismissed these rumors.
"Damn it, Brother Chi, you actually said such meaningful words!!" Feng Yu was amazed, "It seems that Jiang Li's tutoring for you this summer vacation has been very effective!!"
Feng Yu also knew that Jiang Li was making up lessons for Chi Fang, and he was shocked when he first found out. He was very curious about what method Jiang Li used to get him to agree to make up lessons. The desire to sleep, escaped on the third day.
"… roll."
The three of them found a well-reputed Little Sheep hot pot restaurant in the commercial street for dinner. It is also fun to turn on the air conditioner to cook hot pot in summer.
This meeting happened to be dinner time, the hot pot restaurant was full of people, and the strong aroma of the hot pot soup surrounded the entire hall. The three of them ate and chatted, and it took almost two hours to finish eating.
Jiang Li just received his salary today, and he will treat this meal. When he was checking out at the cash register, his eyes inadvertently fell on the small TV on the wall.
A piece of news is being broadcast on TV. A certain nightclub was searched by the police last night, and a large amount of marijuana, methamphetamine and other drugs were found in the store. The case is currently under further investigation.
Jiang Li saw a familiar face flashing past in the chaotic crowd in the news, his brows slowly frowned, and he didn't pay attention to the change handed over by the waiter.
Chi Fang on the side took the money for him, raised his eyes to read the news, and patted him on the shoulder: "What are you looking at?"
"Huh?" Jiang Li looked away, shook his head, and took the money from Chi Fang, "It's okay."
Feng Yu also came out of the toilet at this time, and the three of them left the hot pot restaurant together.
After coming out, Feng Yu took a ride home from another direction, and Jiang Li and Chi Fang went on the same road and went to hitchhike together.
At this point, many people had just returned from shopping in the commercial street, and the car was full of passengers. Chi Fang pulled Jiang Li and squeezed to the back door to find a place to stand.
As the car stopped at the next stop, several people got on the car one after another, and the crowd in the aisle squeezed back again. Chi Fang took advantage of his height to protect Jiang Li in front of him, and put one hand on the railing beside him, Prevent others from squeezing him.
Jiang Li was protected by him in a safe area with a slight distance from other people, and he could see his slightly pursed lips and smooth and sharp jawline when he raised his head slightly.
Chi Fang's appearance is undoubtedly very advantageous. He is handsome and handsome with sword eyebrows and star eyes. There are many girls in school who secretly love him. According to Feng Yu, Nanyin, the class flower in his class, also likes Chi Fang.
Such a handsome, kind-hearted and loyal boy is indeed very attractive.
"Since this is the case, please don't hesitate to host, and boldly attack."
The system's words sounded in his head, Jiang Li withdrew his gaze from Chi Fang, and responded to it in his head with a headache: "Little cutie, please be quiet."
System: "... oh."
At this moment, Chi Fang's heart was not peaceful.
Because of the crowding of passengers in the car, his arm holding on to the railing brushes the hair next to Jiang Li's ear from time to time, and the soft hair brushes against his skin, with an itch that seems to be there, that subtle itch The imagery spread all the way to the bottom of the heart along the blood vessels on the inside of the arm.
His gaze has been cast out of the window, and he never looked back from the beginning to the end.
The bus stopped at the stop sign on Nanpo Street, and the two got off the bus together and went back to Chi Fang's house.
During the summer vacation, Jiang Nuomi spent most of her time at Chifang's house and was taken care of by the old man, because Jiang Li was afraid that Jiang's father would hurt the little guy when he came back from work.
After playing with Jiang Nuo at Chi Fang's house for a while, Jiang Li left, and Chi Fang sent him downstairs.
At the gate of the community, Jiang Li saw him and waved to him: "Go back, see you tomorrow."
Tomorrow is the start of the second year of high school, Chi Fang nodded: "Be careful on the road."
Jiang Li nodded and walked in the direction of the bus stop.
Chi stood where he was, watching him get into the car before returning.
There were only a few people on the bus back, so Jiang Li found a seat by the window at the back and sat down, and asked the system aloud, "How much is your favorability now?"
"39%." The system replied.
These days, Jiang Li has been deliberately controlling the progress of the strategy. After two months, Chi Fang's favorability is still under 40%, and he does not exceed the friendship standard.
"I see."
Jiang Li leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and meditated, "I'll take a rest, call me when I arrive."
"OK."
When the bus arrived at the intersection in the old city, the system called Jiang Li up and got off the bus.
When Jiang Li returned home, he dragged out the wooden box under the bed in the room, then pried open one of the tiles under the bed with a knife, and found a dilapidated small wooden box underneath.
This is where the original body hid money.
Jiang Li made up the money he had previously paid in advance from the small wooden box for glasses and daily expenses.
The money in the box is the money that the original body hid for tuition. Although Jiang Li is now living instead of the other party, he also feels that he is not qualified to use his hard-earned money earned from working in the wood factory.
Putting the box back in place, Jiang Li took the pajamas to take a shower, turned off the light and fell asleep after washing.
