"Let's eat your noodles," Kou Chen said. "You're scared, can my dad let me starve to death, and my sister can't let me starve to death?"
"That's what I said," Huo Ran picked up a small lump of meat, and it was a very pleasant thing to find a lump of meat that could be picked up in the sauce of the braised noodles, "No one can let you starve to death."
"Then I said swipe your card and you'll be scared like that." Kou Chen's chopsticks suddenly stretched out, and with an extremely quick and precise technique, he picked up the small lump of meat on the tip of his chopsticks.
"You..." Huo Ran watched him put the meat in his mouth, "Are you fucking starving to death now?"
"It's mushrooms, not meat." Kou Chen said.
"Fuck you." Huo Ran said.
"Really," Kou Chen looked down in his bowl, took a small piece of shiitake mushroom and put it in his bowl, "I'll give it back to you, cheapskate."
"I really, really want to hit you." Huo Ran looked at him.
"But I felt I couldn't beat it," Kou Chen said, "so I decided to endure it."
"Go away," Huo Ran really had nothing to say. He threw his chopsticks and leaned back. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but want to laugh, and finally sighed, "Hey..."
"Hurry up and eat, Captain," Kou Chen said. "Take me to practice later."
Huo Ran picked up the chopsticks and took two bites before stopping: "Who did you just call to bring someone?"
"Underworld." Kou Chen raised his eyebrows.
"...Is it okay to be realistic?" Huo Ran struggled hard not to get used to Kou Chen's arrogance.
"Realistically," Kou Chen picked up his phone and glanced at the time, "It may take two hours for them to arrive."
"Isn't it alright to pretend to be so unrepentant in the future?" Huo Ran almost knew that the underworld didn't exist any more after hearing this, "We will be laughed at until we graduate from college and become their classmates in every reunion when no one comes. It’s a joke, even if someone really came two hours later, who is still waiting, they’re all gone!”
"You don't understand this," Kou Chen picked up the last few noodles in the bowl, "In order to make us the laughing stock of every class reunion in the future, they will definitely wait."
Huo Ran didn't speak any more, holding the bowl and eating the rest of the noodles viciously.
However, although Kou Chen's words were too big, his analysis was accurate.
After eating the noodles, Liu Yu put the money on the table together, walked over, took the money and slapped it in the palm of his hand: "Where's the person you called?"
Huo Ran thought that they took Kou Chen's money away to irritate people, but when he saw this scene, he felt completely disgusted with these people.
"In the wind and rain," Kou Chen said, "I'll wait for you after the self-study class."
"Kou Chen," Li Jiaying came over, "it's not so easy to help people get ahead. Don't think that you can do anything to people with one fight. There's still a year left, and I'll play with you."
"Farewell," Kou Chen said, "my mother won't let me play with bad guys."
"Don't talk nonsense with him," Zhou Haichao said next to him and then looked at Kou Chen, "Boy, if you don't see anyone today, you're dead."
After a few people said harsh words, they walked out of the noodle shop.
When He Hua passed by them, he turned to look at them and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Kou Chen: "Don't be sentimental."
He Hua lowered his head and left.
Huo Ran sighed.
"Did you see?" Kou Chen knocked on the table, "Is there anything I can do better than me? If I don't see anyone, I'm going to die. How is he going to kill me?"
"Otherwise," Huo Ran frowned and thought for a while, took out his phone, gritted his teeth, and lost his face, "I'll call some junior high school classmates over."
"Why?" Kou Chen looked at him.
"Help you find some underworld group actors, bro!" Huo Ran said.
"Are your junior high school classmates from the underworld?" Kou Chen asked with a smile.
"No, but they don't look like fun," Huo Ran said. "Do you think the underworld is so easy to find? In a society ruled by law, you can call a bunch of thugs at will?"
"Then you're calling a fart." Kou Chen said.
"Otherwise, how are you going to end it? Wouldn't you just pretend it's not a bullshit?" Huo Ran said, "You think I'm happy to do this."
"Then why are you calling someone for me?" Kou Chen asked again.
"Didn't you transfer from another place?" Huo Ran said, "It's only one semester here, how many people do you know?"
Kou Chen smiled and said nothing.
Huo Ran looked at him and waved his hand after a while: "Go away, I don't care, I'm sick, I'll take care of you."
"Thank you." Kou Chen said.
"What!" Huo Ran was vigilant.
"I've known since you were arguing with Liang Mulan in the office that I didn't deliberately step on the floor," Kou Chen patted him on the shoulder, "I'm loyal enough."
"You're almost there," Huo Ran said, "I'm not going to call someone for you anymore."
"Don't call," Kou Chen said, "really, don't worry."
Back at the gym, after doing some exercise again, it was time to digest. Coach Geng came in and called Huo Ran to the side, talking about the training plan for tonight.
Kou Chen stood on the edge of the court and looked at Zhou Haichao and Liu Yu who were standing on the opposite sideline. If it wasn't for the team's training time, or there were so many people beside him, he would have gone over to give them to them. down.
Huo Ran chatted with the coach for a while. Coach Geng turned around and walked out. Huo Ran walked to the side of the court and took off his jacket: "Assemble."
The team members all stopped and walked in front of him. There were roughly three rows, and Kou Chen was very obedient and went to line up in the queue.
Huo Ran glanced at the person, his eyes stopped for a few tenths of a second on the opposite side of the court, and then quickly retracted: "Quality training for new first-year players, running back and forth, leaping frogs."
"Received." Several high school freshmen responded.
"The old players have skills today, five or five offense and defense, and quick passes from the outside," Huo Ran said. "Kou Chen and I have a one-on-one look at the skills, and the senior three players have a rest."
"Received." The team members replied, and then began to warm up and prepare for training.
"What do you mean?" Liu Yu walked over from there.
"It means that you and Zhou Haichao have a rest today," Huo Ran replied. "You can go back to the classroom to study for the evening and prepare for the college entrance examination."
"Public revenge, right?" Zhou Haichao said.
"I have no personal feud with anyone, I just refuse to accept the better than me on the court," Huo Ran glanced at him, "You two are not."
Liu Yu stepped forward to greet him.
Several team members quickly stopped in the middle: "Hey, hey, what are you doing? Don't be impulsive during training time."
"Can't you see that he's targeting us!" Zhou Haichao was very upset, but the team members were all big men. When a few people stopped them, they could only shout.
"The coach is in the office, you can complain if you have any comments," Huo Ran said, clapping his hands, "Start training! Kou Chen!"
"Here!" Kou Chen responded immediately.
Huo Ran took a ball and passed it over to the open space between the courts: "Come on."
"Yes!" Kou Chen happily followed behind him with the ball.
"Driving the ball past me." Huo Ran didn't talk nonsense, and started training in a serious manner.
"Will they complain to you?" Kou Chen took the ball and forced him to the left.
"Yes." Huo Ran moved quickly, cutting off his forward route.
"Then what should I do?" Kou Chen switched the ball from behind to his left. Just as he was about to pass Huo Ran's right while Huo Ran's center of gravity was still on the left, Huo Ran's right hand had already slid under his arm, and the ball was broken by him. Dropped, bounced out.
"What should I do, if I dare to ask them to complain, there will be a way to deal with it," Huo Ran said, "Go pick up the ball."
"What should I do if I file a complaint?" Kou Chen was very persistent. He picked up the ball in the past and asked again when he was attacking with the ball.
"The coach will listen to me," Huo Ran raised his hand and didn't wait for him to approach, he hooked the ball away, and shouted in a raised voice, "Be serious!"
"Fuck," Kou Chen was taken aback by him and took a step back, but he still didn't give up, "Why would I listen to you?"
"I'm the captain," Huo Ran smiled at him, "the coach asked me to be the one."
"...Waiting for me here?" Kou Chen laughed.
"So don't get mad in front of me." Huo Ran raised his hand and threw the ball towards the practice circle on the wall.
Kou Chen took off at the same time he shot the ball, and slapped the ball down.
"Beautiful." Huo Ran said.
"Xiao Cai, I..." Kou Chen was suddenly interrupted as soon as he started talking.
"Go ahead, dribble the ball, when can you pass, when will you start blowing." Huo Ran said.
"Your uncle." Kou Chen scolded in a low voice and rushed over with the ball.
Kou Chen doesn't take anything too seriously. If you ask him to mention a hobby, he may not be able to come up with it within ten seconds. Before he transferred to another school, he had been playing basketball, but he couldn't talk about it, mainly because he felt very cool. .
After all, the football field is too big to see people, but the basketball court is better. You can see his handsome face and handsome movements at a glance when he runs from the east to the west.
But Huo Ran was different. Kou Chen felt that Huo Ran should only play because he liked it.
very serious.
The most afraid of technical people is serious.
Until the end of training, Kou Chen failed to successfully take the ball out of Huo Ran's defensive circle several times.
Huo Ran summed up today's training for the team members and waved: "Let's go."
"Ah—" Kou Chen shouted, moving his arms along with everyone, then picked up his jacket, and took out his cell phone that he hadn't looked at.
There are three missed calls from Kou Xiao.
There are several voices.
He clicked on the last one and listened.
"You're dead! If you don't answer so many calls, you're dead!"
He hurriedly called Lao Yang, who quickly picked up the phone: "Hello?"
"Where's my sister?" Kou Chen asked.
"Got to stab you with a knife," said Lao Yang, "what's the matter with you, she called someone over but didn't answer the phone, she thought something was wrong with you, she just went over to negotiate with the security guard and said she would go in and bring you clothes Woolen cloth."
"Are you in?" Kou Chen asked.
"Just entered," Lao Yang said, "what's the situation on your side?"
"Let me call her. I was just training and didn't look at my phone." Kou Chen glanced to the side, and Huo Ran came over with a worried look on his face.
"Training?" Lao Yang was stunned.
"Look back." Kou Chen hung up the phone and looked at Huo Ran.
"Those few will be waiting on the road for a while," Huo Ran said, "Where is your gang involved?"
"Go." Kou Chen dialed Kou Xiao's number as he walked out.
"Kou Chen, you're dead!" Kou Xiao answered the phone, "Where are you!"
"Just walk in and wait downstairs on the right side of the corner of the road. I'll be there soon," Kou Chen said.
Huo Ran next to him turned his head in surprise.
"Go straight downstairs on the right side of the corner," Kou Xiao is a road idiot, and this is repeated to the person next to her, "Okay, let's talk first, don't do it, it's at school."
"When will I ask you to help me!" Kou Chen said.
"Fuck you, when you were chased and beaten in elementary school, were you the kids I pumped with my shoes!" Kou Xiao said.
"...Wait for me!" Kou Chen sighed.
The teaching building of the third year of high school is not too far from the gymnasium. It took two minutes to walk there. When I saw a few people standing under the tree from a distance, the bell rang for the end of the evening self-study.
"Who are the people you called?" Huo Ran asked beside him.
"Yeah." Kou Chen nodded, glanced and counted, not counting Kou Xiao, there were four men, but Kou Xiao's fighting power was equal to half a man, this shrew.
"If I'm not mistaken..." Huo Ran stared over there, "There's a woman?"
"Don't underestimate women," Kou Chen said, "if Li Jiaying wants to do something, there must be a woman to take care of her."
"...If I read it right," Huo Ran turned his head, "that's your sister!"
Kou Chen stared straight ahead, took a few steps seriously and didn't hold back, and said with joy, "Your eyes are very good."
"Are you crazy to call your sister here?" Huo Ran said, "Who are those men? Your brother?"
"The underworld gang," Kou Chen said, "be serious."
Kou Xiao stood under a tree at the corner, watching the people coming out of the teaching building. The teachers came out first, followed by the students who were lackluster.
When Kou Chen called her, he didn't say why, but looking at it now, it should be some kind of conflict with the third-year students.
"How many?" The big mouth next to him asked, "The ones who came over, keep looking this way, do you know that your brother is called?"
"I guess it is," Kou Xiao crossed his arms and looked at the girl who took the lead, "I didn't expect that, isn't the attached middle school the point, why is there such an arrogant little girl?"
"There are many honest children, and it is easy to get ahead." Big Mouth said.
"It makes sense." Kou Xiao said.
The girl kept walking to a distance of a meter or two beside them before she stopped and stared at them with the boys next to her.
"Where are you from?" a boy said, "What are you doing here!"
Kou Xiao and the others didn't speak. They kept silent, staring at the students together. After they stretched long enough, she said one word: "Go away."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense as if an alarm had been raised.
"Go and call the security." The girl who took the lead said.
"Yes, call the security guard. By the way, shake out all those little things you did." Dazui didn't know what was going on, but there must be some ulterior motives.
"Are you the ones Kou Chen called?" A boy finally reacted.
"Come on!" Kou Chen greeted the other side a few meters away.
Apart from Kou Xiao, he didn't know any of the other people. They looked very social, but they weren't like ordinary hooligans.
As expected of his sister Kou Xiaopo, the person who was called was very reliable in appearance and temperament.
"Why did you call us here," an elder brother turned his head and said with a familiar face, "I'm drinking half of it."
"I don't know," Kou Chen raised his chin at Liu Yu and the others, "they let them call."
"What?" Zhou Haichao looked at him in surprise.
"You said it," Kou Chen smiled. "If I don't see anyone today, I will die."
"Yo," the big brother laughed, walked up to Zhou Haichao, and patted him on the shoulder, "Students can do it now, they dare to say such a big thing."
"Get your hands off!" Zhou Haichao roared.
"Shut up!" Brother didn't wait for his voice to fall, and grabbed his collar, "Wearing sunglasses, you really think you are a social person? Peppa!"
This eldest brother's voice is a little hoarse, but his voice is full of strength. It sounds like the kind that can crush walnuts with one hand, not paper walnuts.
Zhou Haichao suddenly disappeared.
"Now," said the eldest brother, "I'll wait for you at the gate of your school. If I don't see you within half an hour, you'll be fucking dead. If you die today, you will die tomorrow. I will let you die until you graduate!"
After saying this, the big brother waved his hand, and several people turned around and walked towards the door together.
Kou Xiao glanced at Li Jiaying as he passed by: "Who are you staring at?"
Li Jiaying was obviously dissatisfied and snorted, but she still looked away.
"Let's go, have supper." Kou Chen touched Huo Ran with his arm.
Huo Ran glanced at Li Jiaying who were still standing there, then turned and walked away together with Kou Chen.
Kou Xiao and the others walked very fast in front, and did not turn around to talk to them, but Kou Chen walked slowly as if taking a walk.
"Want to have supper together?" Huo Ran asked.
"No, they're gone," Kou Chen said. "Let's eat and make some noodles."
"...I beg you, eat something else." Huo Ran said.
"Then choose a place, the cafeteria is closed today." Kou Chen said.
"Did your sister just leave? Didn't you mean to let Zhou Haichao go?" Huo Ran asked.
"No," Kou Chen looked at him, "are you stupid, how could they go out?"
"Ah?" Huo Ran was stunned.
"You didn't look like a few of them, you really dared to go out and caught up with you," Kou Chen pointed his hand behind him, "I bet, they are no longer there, you have to go to the ghost building now, It is estimated that they can catch up with them and get out of the wall."
Huo Ran didn't speak, looked back and said, "Fuck."
There's really no one behind.
"You are such a good student, you have no experience at all." Kou Chen sighed.
"I'm also... not a good student." Huo Ran said that his grades had always been average in the class, and he was still in the liberal arts class.
"I didn't say your grades, your grades are not much better than mine." Kou Chen said.
"It's much better than you." Huo Ran said.
"You have lost me twice now." Kou Chen said.
"What?" Huo Ran didn't understand.
"Ghost Tower once," Kou Chen said, "Just now, save it all."
Huo Ran felt a little powerless, but now he was still focusing on the few people brought by Kou Xiao and his sister, not arguing with Kou Chen.
"Who are those people?" he asked.
"I don't know," Kou Chen thought for a while, "I guess the waiter or cook in their hotel."
"What?" Huo Ran stopped.
"I guess," Kou Chen said. "She is very popular. She used to call the Internet cafe network manager, technician, community security team..."
Huo Ran was speechless with his mouth half open.
"Anyway, I don't really do it. Generally, it's enough to scare people," Kou Chen said. "You don't need to call people to do it."
Judging from the point of pretending to be coercive, Kou Chen and Kou Xiao are definitely siblings, the kind of siblings who can see each other thousands of miles even if they are scattered in the vast crowd.
Huo Ran looked at the gang involved in the Kou Xiao Hotel disappearing at the gate of the school, and turned to ask Kou Chen, "You just give that money to Liu Yu and the others?"
"Wait," Kou Chen narrowed his eyes, "Look how I can get it back for a dollar."
