The preparation for this lunch was interrupted due to a small accident—the cooking ingredients in the refrigerator were out, and Yu Rui had to go out temporarily to buy.
Because the time was a bit rushed, and Xie Li was following, Yu Rui did not go to the special market, but went downstairs and turned to the underground supermarket diagonally across from the community.
It was the weekend, many young couples or young couples in the supermarket were shopping for daily necessities, and most of them were shopping alone—Xie Li and Yu Rui, two tall and handsome boys, walked side by side in the supermarket. An exceptionally beautiful landscape.
All the way back to 100%.
After going around the fruit and vegetable area for half a circle, Yu Rui was already overwhelmed, and began to glance in disgust at Xie Li, who was hanging around with his trousers pockets.
"Can you... stand farther away?"
"Huh?" I don't know if I really didn't hear it clearly or if I didn't hear it, Xie Li pressed closer to him.
The two aunts walked past them with smiles on their faces.
"Ouch, look at these two brothers."
"That's right, I also came out to buy food."
"My two grandsons are like fighting cocks when they touch each other. If I can do it well, I will burn high incense."
"Yeah. And these two guys are still in good spirits."
"It's the one on the right that's a little shorter."
"Not short, it looks like 1.8 meters."
"Look at the one next to him, it's almost 1.9 meters."
"Tsk tsk, that is, it's a little shorter than that."
Yu Rui: "..."
After Yu Rui went out, the gentle smile that was habitually hanging on his face stopped for two seconds. He twisted the supermarket trolley and turned to the other side.
Xie Li: "Aren't you watching here?"
"The kitchen garbage bag is gone, go over there."
Xie Li followed up obediently.
In order to hide from the aunts in the fruit and vegetable area, Yu Rui pushed the cart around for a long way. A little bored when he walked back, he looked sideways at the people beside him.
Xie Li is yawning lazily with his head down.
Because of the cold and white complexion on the handsome face with a high rate of return, the dark circles under his eyes are even more dazzling. His eyes were sloppy, and he looked like he was not interested in anything, and his hair was messy. It's just so decadent, and it doesn't affect the good-looking of this face at all.
From the face alone, the world is really unfair.
Yu Rui thought mockingly and turned around. He completely forgets that if this theory is followed, he himself belongs to the camp that makes people feel "unfair".
"Why are you in that internet cafe?"
"Well," Xie Li's eyes rolled over, and he turned his face, "Are you also curious about me?"
"It's just boring, you can leave it alone."
"work to earn a living."
"Working in an Internet cafe?"
"Why, the monitor discriminates against Internet cafes?" Xie Li smiled slyly.
Yu Rui frowned, "Is it midnight in the internet cafe?"
"Um."
"So you always sleep during the day?"
"Um."
Seeing this person's indifferent appearance, Yu Rui felt inexplicably angry, he habitually restrained, and his eyes were a little more serious. "With your grades, you can choose a more relaxed part-time job."
"for example?"
"After-school tutoring such as tutoring. If you need it, I can contact you. I have some channels here."
"So you are doing this part-time job?"
"Um."
"Then I can teach the same child at the same time as you?"
"..." Yu Rui looked like an idiot, "Do you think you can?"
Xie Li suddenly lost interest, "Forget it."
"But this is a lot easier than being in an internet cafe."
"Teach little kids to learn? I choose Internet cafes."
"… "
"Besides, not everyone with good grades is suitable for teaching students." Xie Li suddenly thought of something, the corner of his mouth twitched, and his smile was perverted and awkward.
Under Yu Rui's vigilant gaze, he lowered his head to Yu Rui's ear, "Second grade?"
"… "
Yu Rui glanced at him blankly.
Xie Li lowered his eyes, never retreating, not smiling.
At such a close distance, even the contraction of each other's pupils can be clearly seen.
Yu Rui originally responded to Xie Li's provocation and would never admit defeat, but when it comes to the thickness of his skin, he couldn't beat Xie Li, so Yu Rui took half a step back without holding on for ten seconds under the strange gazes of passers-by.
"… sick."
I don't know if I'm scolding Xie Li or scolding myself.
He didn't see it. In these few short seconds, Xie Li slowly suppressed the emotions and desires in his eyes that were almost unstoppable.
Perhaps it was too difficult, and even the bottom of his eyes showed some painful grimness.
Then calmed down.
Yu Rui broke away from that embarrassing situation, "The academic burden in the third year of high school will double. Think about changing part-time jobs, and give me an answer later."
Xie Li turned his head, stared at Yu Rui for two seconds, and smiled. "Squad leader, do you look so responsible to everyone?"
Yu Rui was stunned.
Of course he is not.
In fact, the thing he is most afraid of is trouble, and he never takes the initiative to take care of anything that has nothing to do with him or is not beneficial to him.
Even the class leader who has been used to it since junior high school is the same. There is only one reason why he is willing to take the post - if he is not responsible, then there will be him who will pay more time and energy to pay for the low-level mistakes and inefficiencies of those class cadres.
In this world, he doesn't care about anyone except Yu Li.
As for Xie Li, he probably just didn't want to owe him favors.
Yu Rui frowned in thought.
When he recovered, Xie Li was gone.
Yu Rui stopped calmly and looked at the passers-by around him.
He soon noticed that a few meters behind him, two girls who looked like middle school students were leaning against each other and whispering and laughing while looking at the direction in a certain row of shelves.
Yu Rui pushed the cart over clearly.
Walking around into the shelf, Yu Rui saw Xie Li standing somewhere in the middle, holding a product in his hand, looking a little distracted.
Yu Rui took a closer look.
Xie Li unfolded and carried a kitchen apron in his hand. However, compared with similar products around it, the only difference is that…
The piece in Xie Li's hand is transparent.
That is, except for the color on the corners, the rest is completely transparent plastic. If you wear it, you can see what clothes and colors are in the apron.
When Yu Rui was feeling some strange feeling in his heart, he suddenly saw Xie Li turn his head.
Smile very... "familiar".
"Are you wearing clothes?"
"… what?"
Yu Rui wasn't sure if there was something wrong with his ears.
Xie Li changed his mind, "You don't wear an apron in the kitchen?"
Although he didn't know what Xie Li was thinking at the moment, Yu Rui intuitively didn't want to know the answer. He pushed the trolley over with a blank expression, "No."
"Tsk. What a pity."
"..." You regret the fart.
"You really don't wear it?"
"No, wear it."
"Okay, next time."
Xie Li put the transparent apron back with great regret.
For some reason, Yu Rui suddenly wanted to turn back and smash this man's head.
—
When Xie Li and Yu Rui went downstairs with the fruits and vegetables they bought from the supermarket, they found a few old people gathered in the corridor on the first floor, sighing and talking.
Xie Li didn't respond yet, but Yu Rui's expression changed slightly. He handed the bag in his hand to Xie Li, and without any explanation, he went up to the nearest old man and asked, "Grandma Zhang, what happened?"
"Xiao Rui? You're finally back, go upstairs and see! Your dad doesn't know who he owes again. He was pushed back by a few young people dressed as gangsters. He just went upstairs!"
"I'm sorry, Grandma Zhang, for disturbing you again."
"Oh, it's alright, it's not your child's fault. If you want to blame it, blame your unsatisfactory father..."
Yu Rui apologized and walked upstairs quickly.
Xie Li had already judged something from the previous conversation. At this time, he frowned slightly, and quickly caught up with the advantage of his leg length. "What's wrong?"
Although Yu Rui was in a hurry, his expression was not flustered, as if he had experienced many times. After hearing Xie Li's words, he looked back, "This matter has nothing to do with you."
"I'll go up with you."
"… All right."
Yu Rui didn't have the heart to break up with him, and nodded hastily.
The two quickly arrived at the door of Yu Rui's house.
The iron door was wide open, and several young men stood inside and outside the door, some standing against the wall, some sitting on the railings, laughing and cursing, and their voices echoed throughout the corridor.
Until someone saw Yu Rui and Xie Li going upstairs.
"Hey, the son of that family is here."
"Fuck, but I'm finally back, I'm waiting to die."
"Let him pay for the mental damage."
"Hahaha… "
With laughter, Yu Rui walked between them step by step and stopped.
"I'm sorry," the young man smiled gently, "Is something wrong with you?"
"Stop pretending to be stupid, grandpas don't eat this kind of thing - your dad owes us a lot of debt. As the saying goes, a father's debt is repaid by his son, and he can't repay it, so don't you have to pay it back as a son!"
"Yes, yes, take the money!"
Yu Rui's eyes swept across them, then fell back, he smiled lightly. "Yu Congsheng shouldn't borrow money from you, you are asking for debts for others?"
Several young people were stunned for two seconds before they came to their senses. Yu Rui called Yu Congsheng his father, and the one in the lead laughed and said "interesting", and took a step forward.
"Even if we are not the creditor, the creditor is also our friend - he agreed to ask for money for him. You take the money, and we will return the IOU signed and fingerprinted by your father to you, clear!"
Yu Rui was not suppressed by the other party's aura.
He didn't even seem to pay attention to the coercive posture of the other party, and the smile was still sunshine and harmless.
"Can I see the IOU?"
"Fuck, you think we are stupid, what if you take it out and tear it apart?"
"Then take a picture and let me confirm."
"..." Several young people looked at each other, and someone turned around and took out the mobile phone and started to operate it rustlingly.
Half a minute later, a hastily taken photo was erected in front of Yu Rui.
Yu Rui glanced down, the corners of his mouth curled up.
The headed one was immediately angry, "What are you laughing at! Still haven't paid back the money?"
"I'm sorry, but the structure of your IOU is incomplete. Whether it has legal effect may still need to be taken to the court for a judgment."
"You - you're going to talk to us now and want to lose the money, aren't you?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, we can call the police and ask."
"How dare you threaten me? Do you still want to live here!?"
"I don't want to, I said it doesn't count, and you don't count it - the owner of the IOU might count it if he said it. You give me his contact information, how much and how to pay it back, and I'll talk to him myself. "
"… "
The expressions of several young people changed.
Only at this time did they react one after another. Although the young man who looked like sunshine and harmless was still standing in front of him, unknowingly, the initiative of the situation had slipped to him little by little.
The teenager neither insisted on not paying it back, nor was he willing to compromise now. They were put in an embarrassing situation, but they couldn't find a reason to do it directly - in case the teenager wanted to pay back the money but was broken by them, it would be as the other party said. Said that the real killer is the owner of the IOU.
In just a few minutes, he grasped the key points and grasped the situation, and several young people looked at Yu Rui with strange eyes.
But the remuneration for recovering a debt is not low, and some of them are still unwilling. The young man standing on Yu Rui's right hand rolled his eyes, and he had an idea.
"If I remember it well, you have a younger sister. You are not afraid of accidents at a young age, and you are not worried about your sister's accident while walking? How can such a young girl accidentally cut her face—"
The voice did not fall.
The young man's gentle smile seemed to be still on his face, but suddenly burst out in the next second.
No one responded.
When they returned to their senses, the companion who spoke had been slammed into the dusty, sharp-edged steps.
The boy's face was ashen, his eyes were gloomy, and his tensed profile to the jaw line was as sharp as a blade that could cut people.
He clasped the other's throat tightly, pressing the man's throat to groan and beg for mercy.
"You, what are you doing!" Several people finally came to their senses.
There was no smile on Yu Rui's face.
Hearing this, he raised his eyes, and there was a touch of blood around his dark eyes. The young man's expression was so calm that it was almost indifferent, and his voice seemed to have ice ballast.
He pinned the struggling young man to the ground and looked up at everyone else.
But those looking up eyes and hoarse voice sent chills down the back:
"If something happens to my sister, then you, and me, don't even think about living - okay?"
