In the midsummer season, the prospective freshmen caught the little tail of the summer vacation, hurried to party frantically before leaving the city, and made appointments with all the people they should meet, even if they met the thorns in the past, turning on the parting filter will also I feel that the other party is a lot more pleasing to the eye.
However, some people are excluded.
noon.
Yi Ze was called out to lunch by his buddies. There were three junior brothers and two junior sisters sitting at the same table, plus Yi Ze and his two friends of the same level, making a total of eight people.
The cafeteria was already full. During the waiting period, several people at the same table chatted enthusiastically and the atmosphere was lively, but Yi Ze was taciturn.
Yi Ze is very talkative, and everyone else is used to it, and no one will bother him when chatting.
Only the curly hair next to him said to him, "Why are you wearing this hat? It doesn't look good."
He replied coldly, "It doesn't matter."
Izer lowered the brim of his cap to block his eyes, rested his forehead with one hand, and kneaded his forehead with his thumb and forefinger. He slept a little late last night, and he still woke up for a run in the morning, which would make him a little sleepy.
Several people at the same table were talking and laughing, and the topic of chat revolved around one of the juniors who was afraid of his girlfriend. The reason is that the male protagonist was born with a fierce look.
The girlfriend started to check who was having dinner with him. The boy was embarrassed. He was about to get up and go out to answer the phone, when the friend next to him grabbed the phone and turned on the speakerphone with a smile. The girls also followed suit, making the others laugh, while the male protagonist was busy grabbing his phone and explaining it to his girlfriend.
The curly-haired boy sitting next to Yi Ze laughed and said, "I really can't see it~ You are so stupid and big, so afraid of women?"
The male protagonist blushed at the teasing, and tried his best to correct: "Senior brother, I'm not afraid of women, that's my girlfriend..."
Girlfriends are fundamentally different from other women.
The man called "Senior Brother" is Yi Ze's friend. He is naturally curly, with fluffy and soft hair, yellowish in color, and his fair skin. When he smiles, he has a pair of crescent eyes, making it easy for people to get close. illusion.
That's right, only acquaintances know that this senior brother not only has a pair of crescent eyes, but also two small tiger teeth that can bite.
The naturally curly boy held his chin, dragged his tail, and said, "Oh~"
At this time.
The boy sitting opposite called out, "Brother Ze."
Yi Ze raised his head with a look of indifference.
I saw the boy whisper: "It's Lu Che." The boy's eyes drifted diagonally from his face to the rear.
Yi Ze and Lu Che didn't deal with each other very well, which is not a secret among this year's classmates, but it sounds a little strange to Yi Ze's curly friends.
"What's the matter? You know each other?"
The curly-haired boy looked back and saw two boys of the same age with the same height sitting at their slanted back table.
The two are tall and have long legs and outstanding looks. One of the boys answered the phone with a light tone and expression; the other boy was helping to pull the chair and pour the tea. Jun's face was always smiling, and his eyes were always glued to his companion.
The curly-haired boy raised his eyebrows, turned his head and asked, "Is this person from our school? A transfer student?"
When Lu Che entered the second year of high school, he swept the whole school and made a splash, and the senior brothers also heard about him.
The boy who had just been labeled "wife-scared" replied: "Yes, this person is not very good. He has a holiday with Brother Ze."
The curly-haired boy squinted and smiled: "I think he's okay, at least he's not a wife and slave~"
"… "
The boy who was eager to change the subject was detoured again.
Hearing this, Yi Ze snorted coldly and said, "Who said he's not?"
The curly-haired boy rarely heard Yi Ze speak up, and asked back with interest, "Huh?"
His tone rose, questioning.
Yi Ze didn't answer, leaving room for people to imagine.
As for whether Lu Che is a wife and slave, Yi Ze actually doesn't know.
Habitually belittling Lu Che's related topics is his principle of doing things.
The curly-haired boy asked playfully, "Huh? How did you know he was?"
The junior brother next to him took the opportunity to tout Yi Ze: "Lu Che may or may not be, but our brother Ze is definitely not!"
"… "
The curly-haired boy raised his brows involuntarily, tilted his head to look at Yi Ze, and the smile on his face was quite intriguing.
Yi Ze raised his cap and put it on again. After he did this extra action, he snorted and acquiesced to his younger brother's right to tout.
Just then-
A familiar female voice came from behind: "Xu Xing, show me the menu."
Yi Ze turned his head when he heard the sound, and the curly-haired boy sitting next to him greeted him one step ahead: "Hi, Xu Yin~ What a coincidence."
Xu Yin just sat down, took the menu that Xu Xing handed over, and turned to look, only to find Yi Ze and the curly-haired boy.
Xu Xing and Lu Che, who were sitting opposite, also looked back. Xu Xing didn't have any emotional fluctuations on his face, and Lu Che narrowed his eyes when he saw Yi Ze.
Xu Yin smiled and replied, "Hi."
Yi Ze got up straight away, walked around the potted viewing platform that was cut off, walked over to Xu Yin and sat down.
Xu Yin glanced at him lightly, and said angrily, "The hat is ugly, take it off."
Yi Ze took off his hat without saying a word, and grabbed the hair that was compressed by the hat.
Xu Yin glanced at Yi Ze's distraught hair again, and said with disgust, "You better put on your hat."
"… "
Yi Ze's hand grabbing his hair paused, and then he put the hat back on obediently.
Xu Yin flipped through the menu, shook the pen in his hand, and asked Yi Ze, "Are you here to pay the bill?"
Yi Ze replied without hesitation, "Yeah."
Lu Che, who was sitting opposite, immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, brother-in-law~"
"… "
Yi Ze looked up and looked at Lu Che.
One smiled hypocritically, the other looked indifferent.
But Xu Yin also corrected Lu Che's address: "What brother-in-law, don't call him random."
Lu Che was full of schadenfreude, but said innocently: "Oh~ it turns out that I made a mistake."
"… "
Yi Ze really wanted to fight with Lu Che now.
Yi Ze felt that paying for his future wife and future brother-in-law was just right, but it didn't include spending his money to invite Lu Che to dinner.
Yi Ze was in a bad mood, and he accidentally noticed that Curly Hair Loser had invited the waiter, and brought a whole table of people to a table closer to him.
The bad friend also gave him a cheering gesture, and the younger brother next to him who looked fierce but fearful also looked at him expectantly, as if he was a role model.
Yi Ze: "… "
Yi Ze was still in a trance, and was caught off guard by Xu Yin, who pulled a small tuft of upturned hair on his temples.
Yi Ze frowned in pain, turned his head, saw Xu Yin holding his chin, and sneered: "What a terrible straight male aesthetic, where did you pick up the ragged hat, today's clothes are obviously not suitable for wearing Is the cap okay?"
Yi Ze lost face, and said calmly, "You know—"
The tone of voice increased, he originally wanted to scold Xu Yin with a sullen face: What do you know.
However, as soon as Xu Yin's eyes floated over, Yi Ze subconsciously changed his mouth and said, "You know so much..."
A table next door: "???"
Yi Ze clenched his fist against his lips and coughed softly.
Lu Che sat opposite, leaning on Xu Xing's shoulder and playing with his mobile phone. He opened the topic and said, "Sister, is the durian cake that my aunt said yesterday is this store? Let's pack it up and take it back later."
Xu Yin raised his head and said with a smile: "You are really caring, my mother will definitely be very happy."
After Xu Yin praised Lu Che, he couldn't help but criticize Xu Xing by name: "Xu Xing, can you give me some snacks."
Xu Xing: "What happened to me?"
Xu Yin: "You deserve a beating."
Xu Xing: "…"
The thing is, on the birthday of Xu's mother, Xu Yin prepared two gifts in advance, one was given in the name of Xu Xing.
As a result, Xu Xing asked with a confused expression, "What did I give?"
So angry that Xu Yin stepped on Xu Xing under the table.
After being publicly lifted by Xu Yin, Xu Xing touched his nose in embarrassment.
Lu Che stretched out his hand around Xu Xing's back, wrapped his arms around his waist, turned to Xu Yin and said, "Sister, don't worry, no, the squad leader has me~"
Xu Xing was dull and unfeeling, but Lu Che was the best at coquettish and pleasing to Xu's mother, and the two complemented each other.
Xu Yin was brought into the topic by Lu Che, and they talked about the daily life of their family. Yi Ze sat on the side without saying a word, and had no sense of participation. He could only drink tea silently.
The topic came to an end temporarily until the waiters served the dishes one after another.
Yi Ze just brought Xu Yin a lamb chop, and Lu Che, who was opposite, said with a smile: "Brother, bring me one too~"
Yi Ze: "… "
Yi Ze resisted the urge to knock Lu Che's head, grabbed the part of the lamb chops wrapped in tinfoil, and threw it directly into Lu Che's bowl with a bang.
The bones of the lamb chops hit the bowls and spoons, making a crisp sound.
Xu Yin frowned, dissatisfied with Yi Ze's behavior, and accused: "Why, don't be so reluctant."
Lu Che said with a smile on his face, "It's alright~ Senior Brother, by the way, wear a glove and tear this roast pigeon into small pieces~"
Lu Che nibbled on the lamb chops and began to call Yi Ze again.
Yi Ze: "… "
Yi Ze held his breath silently, put on disposable gloves, and took the roasted pigeon on the plate as Lu Che, and directly unloaded it into eight pieces.
Immediately after—
"Senior brother, stack the steamer on your side~"
"Senior brother, let the waiter take some more gloves~"
"Senior brother, boil a pot of water, let's make tea and drink it~"
"… "
Xu Xing couldn't stand it anymore, interrupted Lu Che and said, "Enough is enough."
Lu Che grinned and hugged Xu Xing with a smile: "No, didn't I have a misunderstanding with Senior Brother Yi Ze before, I just wanted to take the opportunity to have a good relationship with Senior Brother~"
Lu Che turned his head to look at Yi Ze, and said sincerely, "Senior brother, I didn't mean to call you~ I just wanted to show you my love."
Xu Yin held his chin and said with a smile: "People who can act like a spoiled child really don't suffer."
Yi Ze: "… "
But Xu Yin just said that and didn't feel bad for Yi Ze.
Lu Che happily stuffed a shrimp dumpling into his mouth. After chewing it twice, he saw Yi Ze on the opposite side brewing four cups of tea and serving them one by one.
When Lu Che saw Yi Ze brought the tea, he immediately put on a bright smile and said, "Thank you, teacher—"
Before he could say the word "brother", the tea cup brought in front of him suddenly fell on the table.
Lu Che got up suddenly, and only then did he avoid getting his pants wet with tea.
Yi Ze said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Junior Brother, I have an old injury on my right hand, and sometimes I don't obey."
"… "
This so-called old right hand injury is the scar left by the fight with Lu Che back then.
Lu Che bared his teeth and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter."
Xu Xing grabbed two tissues and wiped the table dry, Lu Che sat down again, and the situation at the dinner table changed from "one-sided" to "evenly matched".
"Senior brother, you call the waiter to come over and add dishes~"
"Junior Brother, Senior Brother is rather shy, so call me."
"… "
"By the way, last time I saw my senior brother being drunk by a group of beauties at the bar. I thought my senior brother was a brother-in-law, so that's not good, but since it's not a brother-in-law, it should be fine~"
"… "
Yi Ze has never seen Lu Che approach a girl, and he has never heard of Lu Che having a girlfriend. Even if Lu Che is not single, it is meaningless to mention this in front of Xu Yin and Xu Xing.
Yi Ze was silent for a moment, pondering a new entry point.
"I'm really not used to seeing the innocent and harmless appearance of my junior brother. By the way, aren't you addicted to smoking? You quit so quickly? I remember seeing you smoking not long ago."
"… "
Xu Yin and Xu Xing watched as the two broke the news, and there was only one thought in their hearts: they could supervise each other in the future.
A table next door: "… "
Brother Ze, what about the taciturn character you said
Yi Ze said more to Lu Che after a meal than to hang out with them for a week.
