"Hey, buddy, wake up, wake up."

Yi Xuan was sleeping soundly, and suddenly he felt someone pat his face sharply, and opened his eyes in a daze to see who else could it be, not Shen Pengfei.

"What are you doing, let me sleep for a while." Yi Xuan muttered and turned over to sleep again.

How could Shen Pengfei let it go easily, hurriedly pulled him up, pushed him out of the bed and sat up: "Don't go to bed, today I promised to go to the game hall, get up and wash our faces, we Hurry up."

"Today is Sunday, can't people sleep more?" Yi Xuan muttered, and reluctantly went to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth. The breath of getting up directly overwhelmed the admiration of Shen Pengfei yesterday. ? Isn't it just playing a game? I'm in a hurry to reincarnate.

Although Qingmeng was disturbed, Yi Xuan felt unhappy, but there was no way. As the so-called cannibalistic mouth is short and human hand is short, I ate so much yesterday, alas, it's a morning exercise.

As soon as I walked out of the bathroom door after washing, I saw that Shen Pengfei was dressed neatly and seemed to be going out immediately. Yi Xuan helplessly said, "I said, brother, isn't it just a game? As for, you have to let me eat something. Something."

Then Shen Pengfei nodded when he said that, "No problem, I bought you early, put on clothes and come out to eat." He pointed to the kitchen table. Yi Xuan didn't pay attention just now. After he said this, I found that the table was already full.

White porridge buns, fried dough sticks, soy milk, bread and milk, and almost all breakfast combinations are readily available. You can choose. Yi Xuan looked at Shen Pengfei suspiciously. Is it really VIP treatment, just for a few game coins? I was puzzled, but didn't say it, but turned around and went into the bedroom to change clothes.

While rummaging through the clothes in the closet, Yi Xuan watched Shen Pengfei in the living room without a trace, and saw that he was spinning around in place, even if he stood still, one leg couldn’t help tapping on one leg. This action It can often be seen in crowds queuing to go to the toilet, and it is usually only when people are extremely anxious or extremely nervous.

Combining his boldness to take himself to eat lobster last night and the abundance of this morning's somewhat unreasonable breakfast, Yi Xuan's heart began to faintly become uneasy, how can the more it be combined, the more it looks like a banquet wine or a Hongmen banquet.

Suspicious in his heart, his hand movement slowed down.

"Big brother, why do you move so slowly when you change your clothes? Let's not go to the catwalk, hurry up." Shen Pengfei couldn't help shouting into the room, because the anxious voice was inevitably louder, and Yi Xuan was shocked, hurry up. Put on the clothes and pants and walked out.

The breakfast was delicious. According to Shen Pengfei, he bought it from a famous breakfast shop in this city, but Yi Xuan tasted like chewing wax.

He didn’t think too deeply yesterday, but after watching Shen Pengfei’s performance last night, he was too excited and didn’t sleep in the middle of the night, so he thought a lot about how he thought there was something tricky in it. Since Shen Pengfei is so rich, even if he buys a few games What's the point when the machine goes home? As for begging myself for a few game coins, there is definitely a ghost in it.

Thinking like this in his heart, Shen Pengfei seemed to have become mysterious and weird in his eyes. He is so rich, but he doesn’t know what his origins are. If he didn't have too much contact with his family, could it be that Shen Pengfei was secretly doing some shameful business

Didn't he say to start a business? Wouldn't it be a crooked way to start a business

Thinking of Shen Pengfei’s worries about his virtue yesterday, Yi Xuan couldn’t help but feel that Shen Pengfei was like those Ma Tsai who lost the goods in the movies, the fat sheep who owed the loan shark, and offended the local boss’s gangsters. How do you think that things should not be at your own level? It can be solved.

"Yi Xuan, what do you think?" Shen Pengfei couldn't help but ask aloud as Yi Xuan's face became more and more ugly.

"Pengfei, how many of us are brothers?" Yi Xuan asked cautiously.

"Of course." In fact, the relationship between the two was fairly normal. Since Yi Xuan promised to help Shen Pengfei last night, his status has quickly risen to his best friend.

"Are you sure I really just asked me to get you some game coins?"

"Hahaha" Shen Pengfei laughed when Yi Xuan said this, but this smile made Yi Xuan think how Shen Pengfei looked like the villain in the movie. Shen Pengfei smiled, but his face became a little strained, and he looked at Yi Xuan with a serious face: "Otherwise, how can you help me?"

This sentence made Yi Xuan a little embarrassed. Indeed, since the two people rented together, Shen Pengfei has been taking the bulk of the rent. Yi Xuan's monthly living expenses are not much, and Shen Pengfei has to pay for it by the end of the month. And Shen Pengfei rarely cares about the water, electricity and gas expenses of the two people. Don’t say that he has never helped Shen Pengfei, but he has always taken care of himself, and according to Shen Pengfei’s hand last night, he is probably fighting this. I can’t help much either. I’m not as good as Shen Pengfei either financially or by reaching out. I’m afraid that he’s planning something for himself. Thinking of this, Yi Xuan's doubts disappeared, and he smiled embarrassedly, and drank the bowl in two mouthfuls. Vegetable porridge.

Shen Pengfei didn't ask, he was obviously satisfied with his speeding up his meal. The two went downstairs, got on the white Chevrolet that Shen Pengfei had parked in the yard, and drove all the way towards Dongcheng District.

Dongcheng District is the old city. It had a glorious moment many years ago. With the strengthening of urbanization, the factories were moved from the city to more remote suburbs and some small subordinate cities in order to protect the urban environment. The Xicheng District was planned to be an economic open zone, and Dongcheng District was gradually dilapidated. Unlike the many high-rise buildings in Xicheng District, most of them are old and low-rise buildings more than ten years or even decades ago, and even some places are still There are shanty towns, and most of those who live there are old workers' families who used to work in factories in Dongcheng District, because they have little money to change their living environment after being relocated and laid off.

Yi Xuan had also been to the Dongcheng flea market in the past, but he was not familiar with other places. Shen Pengfei seemed to be familiar with the roads here. He walked through the streets and turned around, and soon drove into a remote alley. The roads in Dongcheng District are generally neglected from maintenance. Unlike the broad roads in Xicheng District, most of the roads are narrow, and the asphalt pavement of the street is also uneven, but the street in front of you is quite tidy, although the ground is paved with flagstones. , It's pretty flat.

Because it is the only way to the suburban cemetery, there are many small shops on both sides of the street, most of which operate wreaths, urns and other applications. Although it is sunny and day, it still makes people feel gloomy.

Yi Xuan started to whisper again, who can open the game hall in such a place? Don't you wait for Huang? Newly opened, this boss is a fool.

Because of the narrow road, the car turned east and west in this small alley, and it took a long time to reach the end of the street, but there is a bar at the end of the street. It seems that the signboard and the door face should have been opened when Dongcheng District was prosperous. Ten years must have a history of twenty years. I don’t know if it’s a sluggish business. The sign on the wall hasn’t been changed for a long time. If it weren’t for the store’s open sign, Yi Xuan would think this store It's already a yellow shop.

Shen Pengfei's car stopped at the entrance of the bar, opened the door, and signaled Yi Xuan to get off.

"Where is this? Where is the game hall?" Yi Xuan looked strange.

"Behind the bar" Shen Pengfei seemed to say casually, but when he got out of the car, he took a deep breath and seemed a little nervous.

That kind of anxiety reappeared in Yi Xuan's heart. Isn't the arcade hall newly opened? How could it be in such a place? It also provokes a rich second generation like Shen Pengfei to play, and is still obsessed with it. Is it possible that the game played in this game hall is an alternative game? game! Isn't it just some kind of pronoun

"Um... I don't seem to be feeling well, or let's come back another day." Yi Xuan sat in the co-pilot and intuitively didn't want to get out of the car.

Unexpectedly, Shen Pengfei's face suddenly became difficult to look at. He held the roof with one hand and the door with the other. He bent down and stared at Yi Xuan from the driving position: "What do you mean."

The tone is not harsh, but the hidden threat makes Yi Xuan feel a bit of danger. Reminiscent of Yi Xuan's scalp tingling when Shen Pengfei showed yesterday, it would be hard to get past without a good excuse.

"Um... I seem to forget the card you gave me yesterday." Yi Xuan suddenly remembered the important thing Shen Pengfei said when he gave it to him.

"Oh" Shen Pengfei seemed to be relieved when he heard this, "It's okay, I'm afraid you will forget it. I took it out when I went to wake you up in the morning, look." He said that he took out the black inferior card from his trouser pocket. The Yi Xuan who watched kept complaining for a while.

Then Shen Pengfei smiled at Yi Xuan and said: "Alright, get off the car, let's go in."

While talking, he walked over and opened the co-pilot's door. Yi Xuan saw that there was no excuse for resigning, and got out of the car. Shen Pengfei grabbed Yi Xuan's hand, not afraid of being suspected of having a sexual orientation, and pulled him straight towards the bar.

Yi Xuan was in a panic and wanted to break free, but Shen Pengfei’s hand strength was surprisingly strong, completely inconsistent with his gentle appearance, not to mention breaking free, it just felt like being tightly clamped by pliers when held by him. Yi Xuan understood the feelings of those gangsters yesterday, so he didn't dare to make any changes. Although his heart was overwhelmed, he still kept calm and walked inside.

Pushing open the door of the bar, Yi Xuan was taken aback. What's completely different from the dilapidated appearance outside is that the inside of the bar is surprisingly elegant and clean. The decoration adopts European style, and the floor tables, chairs and decorative railings are all made of solid wood. In the design, the wall facing the door is covered with various photos. What you can see in this bar is a row of decks on the left hand side of the door, and a wooden bookshelf on the wall at one end. The top is full of thick books and some decorative gadgets. Inside the right hand is a bar with a full glass of goblet hanging on it. The barman below is wearing a white shirt and a black vest is wiping with a mouth cloth just washed. I saw Shen Pengfei come in and waved to him as a greeting. On the high chair in the bar, a beautiful girl who looked like a mixed race was smoking a long slender cigarette, and her dark curly hair was pulled loosely behind her head. A bun, a strand of hair hanging down from her forehead, just blocked her hairy black eyes, her face was surprisingly white, her nose high, and her slender neck made her look like a beautiful oil painting.

Seeing Shen Pengfei approaching with Yi Xuan, a playful smile appeared on the beauty's face: "Shen Shao changed his taste?"

Seeing such a beautiful woman, Shen Pengfei didn't seem to see him much, just raised his head towards the position behind.

The beauty didn't mind, she still smiled and asked, "Would you like to play two games?" After she finished speaking, she did not wait for Shen Pengfei to answer. She stretched her hand and pulled a thin thread next to her, and two bells came from behind. Crisp sound.

After a while, a blank-faced man walked out of the small room behind the bar, looked at Shen Pengfei and glanced at Yi Xuan, and asked roughly, "With you?"

Shen Pengfei nodded: "Yes, we are together." As he said, he reached out and handed over the black card last night.

The big man took the card and flicked his finger without knowing how to use it. The card disappeared. Then he nodded to Shen Pengfei, walked out from the side of the bar, and led the two of them to the back.
