After sending Lu Zhixin back to the riverside residence, he boiled water, made tea, and plugged in the water heater. Xu Tingsheng went back to the living room to get his bag, and said to Lu Zhixin who was sitting stiffly on the sofa, "Take a good rest."
When he was walking out, Lu Zhixin got up suddenly, came over and blocked the door.
Then she just blocked it with a stick like that, tightly grasping a piece of Xu Tingsheng's clothes with one hand, and looked at Xu Tingsheng without letting go or making a sound. At this time, Lu Zhixin was like a child who made a mistake, feeling guilty, wronged, overwhelmed, and all kinds of emotions.
Xu Tingsheng met her obviously hesitant eyes, and asked three times cautiously, "What's wrong?"
Lu Zhixin finally spoke, and said in a low voice: "It's too late, I can't go back to the dormitory, you, you live here."
Xu Tingsheng was stunned for a moment: "I, I'd better go to a hotel to stay for one night, mainly... because I'm afraid we'll both be embarrassed."
When talking, Xu Tingsheng was actually very embarrassed. What he did in a moment of confusion before, as an uncle, he treated the little girl like that... In retrospect, it was indeed embarrassing.
Lu Zhixin understood and thought Xu Tingsheng did it on purpose.
Her face was a little red, but she still shook her head, still blocked the door, and said, "You live here. It's like..." Xu Tingsheng didn't hear the words clearly, but Lu Zhixin's voice was very low, mumbled like a mosquito, she probably said "Like... is also fine."
Perhaps because she felt wronged by Xu Tingsheng tonight, Lu Zhixin thought of making up for it, such as spoiling him again. Although just thinking about it made her palpitate. This is an atypical Lu Zhixin today, in fact, it was the whole night.
Xu Tingsheng didn't know why and went back to the sofa and sat down.
Lu Zhixin came over with some hesitation, and asked, "Xu Tingsheng, are you angry with me today? Well, Huang Yaming is very angry."
Xu Tingsheng said: "No, well, there was a little bit at first, but it got better soon, I should understand you. As for Huang Yaming, he and you just look at the problem in a different way. Don't worry, his emotions come and go quickly. Also fast."
"Basic status?"
"For example, your basic state is dominated by reason, but we, Huang Yaming and I, are often not. Relatively speaking, his tendency may be greater than mine."
Xu Tingsheng explained:
"This is actually quite normal. After all, even though rationalism was the philosophical foundation of the Enlightenment, there was still anti-rationalism at the same time, emphasizing the supremacy of emotion, and hoping that people can enjoy the freedom of passion and impulse.
Reason is hard work. In my opinion, a completely rational life is boring, aggrieved, colorless and unbearable, and a 100% rational person is also terrible. "
After talking for a while, the instinct of a high school history teacher who hadn't returned for a long time came back. Xu Ting's business was still unfinished, and he was preparing for a long speech. Kant, Rousseau, Descartes, a lot of famous names were about to come out.
However, Lu Zhixin's words crushed his enthusiasm.
"I'm a science student," she said.
"...Science students, what English major did you apply for?" The ashesed teacher Xu sighed, rubbing his forehead. He knew that Lu Zhixin had good grades in the college entrance examination, but he really didn't notice this.
"I filled it out randomly, because I was going to go abroad at the time. And there are many science students applying for English majors." Lu Zhixin explained seriously, and then said, "Okay, I know you are very good in the comprehensive essays of the college entrance examination. Province first."
The two finally smiled.
After chatting for a while, Xu Tingsheng finally couldn't hold back, and asked about the Lu family's affairs. He didn't dare to ask Lu's father directly, but only tentatively asked, "Is the business at home not doing well?"
Lu Zhixin hesitated for a moment, and said, "Actually, it's not bad, but Dad's business in Hong Kong has been drawing too much money."
She stopped here, and Xu Tingsheng naturally couldn't continue to inquire, so he asked instead: "Then, is that contract very important?"
Lu Zhixin nodded and said, "Yes. So, I'm sorry, because I wronged you like this. At that time, I really wanted to go with you. I just thought I could get him drunk quickly, and I wanted to sign the contract before coming to you. As a result..."
"He drank fake wine." Xu Tingsheng blurted out.
"Huh?" Lu Zhixin said, "Really? How do you know?"
"Really... I know, it's because..." Xu Tingsheng hesitated.
"Because of what?" Lu Zhixin asked.
"Because I was a little worried since you entered the box... so I asked someone to turn on the pinhole surveillance and kept watching. Later, I went to see it myself, but I didn't find the fake wine at that time, so I didn't remind you. "
Xu Tingsheng finished speaking in embarrassment, but the expected follow-up questioning did not come.
Lu Zhixin didn't ask why there was surveillance in the private room, nor did she ask Xu Tingsheng how he did it. At this moment, she only felt happy. Yes, this trivial matter made Lu Zhixin feel happy because she was cared about.
She wanted to tell Xu Tingsheng, but before she could tell, Xu Tingsheng took out the contract from his bag and put it in front of Lu Zhixin.
"You, picked it up?" Lu Zhixin said bitterly, "Actually, it's useless, Ding Sen won't sign it. I'll find a way to explain this to my father later. I don't want to have any contact with Ding Sen anymore."
"Really?" Xu Tingsheng looked into Lu Zhixin's eyes.
"Really", Lu Zhixin did not evade, and said, "I will be self-willed once. Do you know? Xu Tingsheng, since I was eight years old, you are the first person to tell me that I am still a little girl and can be self-willed. The rest of the time, I What you hear is that I am sensible, and I must be sensible."
Xu Tingsheng was silent for a while, pushed the contract forward, smiled and said, "You should take a look first."
Lu Zhixin flipped through it carefully with confusion, and said in surprise, "Why... did you sign it?"
Xu Tingsheng said, "Yes."
Then, Xu Tingsheng recounted the general process of the matter, then frowned unconsciously and said, "Now that I think about it, I'm actually a little worried about provoking Ding Sen."
Lu Zhixin replied with some guilt: "Well, the Ding family..."
"My worry has nothing to do with the strength of the Ding family," Xu Tingsheng explained, "I'm worried because I found out that Ding Sen is a fool. If he wasn't stupid, he wouldn't have done this tonight, and he wouldn't have been so easy to deal with. , but I still prefer that he is not, and I would rather everyone take their time with their own means."
"This, why?"
"Besides being an idiot, Ding Sen also has poor character, right? If he chased you for five years, even if you didn't accept it, you wouldn't hate him so much. According to the relationship between the two of you, maybe you can still be friends."
Lu Zhixin didn't speak, and acquiesced.
Xu Tingsheng went on to say: "Because of this, and seeing how he handles things today, I'm afraid he'll do all kinds of dirty things. So especially you, you'd better be careful when you come in and out recently, and don't leave the school and the scope of the company."
"I know," Lu Zhixin said, "I think your judgment is correct, and you should be more careful."
To be precise, this is the first time Xu Tingsheng has encountered such a foolish and depraved opponent. Thinking about it carefully, such a person is actually much more terrifying to Xu Tingsheng than Zhang Xingke and other people with brains and artifice. Because Xu Tingsheng can afford to play and lose, he can afford to hurt money, but he can't hurt people, both himself and the people around him.
The atmosphere became more solemn, Lu Zhixin lowered her head and did not speak for a long while.
Xu Tingsheng comforted her for a while, and said a few more jokes to coax her, but it still didn't work, so he had to turn his attention to Dongdong, even though that cheap dog just slept and ignored him.
After a long time.
"Xu Tingsheng." Lu Zhixin called out in a low voice.
"Huh?" Xu Tingsheng looked up.
"Batt..."
Xu Tingsheng touched his cheek, and looked at Lu Zhixin in disbelief.
Lu Zhixin said in embarrassment: "I, it's my first time kissing a boy, I don't know if it's right."
Xu Tingsheng smiled and said, "But Lu Zhixin, you don't look like this."
"I... Occasionally," Lu Zhixin explained, "I'm sorry, and thank you. Huang Yaming said that you have never been wronged like today, and I let you be wronged. Also, I am very happy to know that you are worried about me."
"That's when I was wronged and he didn't see it."
Xu Tingsheng smiled wryly.
In fact, Xu Tingsheng drank a lot that night and was a little drunk.
After taking a shower, Lu Zhixin went back to her room and did not come out.
Xu Tingsheng took a bath and went to sleep, and when he was about to fall asleep in a daze, there was the sound of turning the doorknob outside the door. Without turning on the light, Xu Tingsheng woke up half asleep and half awake and opened the door.
"You, Xu Tingsheng, you actually locked it behind your back?"
An exasperated tone. Has the indifferent strong woman been guarded as a female hooligan? Lu Zhixin was embarrassed and angry, and wanted to hit someone, even bite.
"I... what's the matter with you?"
"I soaked honey water for my headache, and I made a cup for you too."
Lu Zhixin entered and put water on the table.
Xu Tingsheng picked it up and drank it, then turned his head and found that Lu Zhixin had left.
"It's estimated that they will ignore me for several days."
Xu Tingsheng thought about it. Last time I was playing hooligans, this time I am not playing hooligans, no matter what I do, it is wrong
Thinking about it, I can't help feeling a little regretful. Except for the most serious one, Lu Zhixin made up for it tonight, and the attitude of "whatever you want" has actually been shown. How could the uncle who has experience in the previous life not understand
After passing this village, next time... I guess there will be no next time.
…
Huang Yaming and the girl he was dating last night walked out of the hotel at about nine o'clock in the morning.
At the entrance of the hotel, a car stopped suddenly in front of Huang Yaming. Immediately afterwards, two masked strong men got out of the car and smashed at Huang Yaming with baseball bats in their hands.
Girl ran away.
Huang Yaming raised his hand to block it a few times, then staggered back to the hotel lobby.
The car drives away.
The whole process lasted less than half a minute.
Xu Tingsheng didn't think of this until talking with Lu Zhixin last night. He wanted to remind Huang Yaming when he woke up, but it was too late.
After receiving the call, Xu Tingsheng went to the school to pick up Fu Cheng and rushed to the hospital. Huang Yaming was lying on the hospital bed with his arms hanging, grinning.
One arm was broken in three places, and there were several minor injuries in the rest.
There was also a minor injury to the leg.
"Damn it hurts me to death. Fortunately, I blocked it with my arm, and the five-star hotel security was kind enough to prevent people from rushing in. Otherwise, I might have confessed to be there today." Huang Yaming said through gritted teeth.
After a while, Fang Yuqing also arrived.
"Let Brother Kun transfer people or should we do it ourselves?" Fang Yuqing said directly.
"At this time, it's not convenient for Brother Kun and us to do it. I'd better make a phone call and find a way to transfer Du Jiang and Wang Xiao over for a while." Xu Tingsheng said.
Du Jiang and Wang Xiao were brought by Zhong Wusheng in the park incident last time, and the two people who were responsible for the shots later, practiced Muay Thai horizontally and could carry and fight.
Xu Tingsheng and Fang Yuqing were discussing how to take revenge.
There is no way to go through legal channels for this matter. Ding Sen didn't do it himself, and neither the car nor the person will leave any implicating evidence. It is very likely that the two masked men who made the attack had already left Yanzhou at this time. As for the car, this is not the era of Skynet, and it is very difficult to find it if you just drive two streets and drill into the garage.
Therefore, it can only be an eye for an eye.
In the end, Huang Yaming, who was lying on the hospital bed, said by himself: "Don't worry, take your time."
The three people present looked at Huang Yaming who had always been impulsive in surprise.
Ordinarily he should be the one most anxious to retaliate.
"Eat a pitfall, gain a wisdom. If we go back now, firstly, the other party must be prepared, and secondly, he also knows that it must be us. As long as this kind of thing dare not kill us, it will probably be endless.
He can hide, we are different, we still have to study and go to class, blocking one by one, so playing like this will definitely be a disadvantage. Take your time, I remember! I'm waiting for the time when I can kill him directly. "
Huang Yaming even smiled after speaking.
This kind of smile is a bit weird, Xu Tingsheng remembered that in his previous life he worked for Huang Yaming for a year, because he was suppressed by others because he was too impulsive, and after calculating twice, it started to appear on his face.
In this life, ahead of schedule.
"The problem now is that I am worried that he will have follow-up actions, such as attacking other people on our side. Therefore, although he cannot really move him, he still has to find a way to warn him. In this way, he feels that he has taken advantage anyway, so he should I will temporarily stop." Huang Yaming continued.
What Huang Yaming said made sense, Xu Tingsheng and Fang Yuqing looked at each other.
Fang Yuqing said, "I'll do it."
"What are you going to do?" Xu Tingsheng asked.
"Let my cousin find a way to chat with him." Fang Yuqing said.
Xu Tingsheng thought for a while, Fang Yuqing's cousin is the deputy captain of the criminal police team, if it is a warning, it should be the best way for him to come forward.
Not long after Fang Yuqing left, Tan Yao came.
After probably repeating the matter, Huang Yaming still endured the pain and asked Tan Yao enthusiastically: "Your boy can't get through the phone in the morning, tell me quickly, how was last night?"
Tan Yao hesitated for a moment, sighed, took out a bundle of money and threw it on Huang Yaming's bed, complaining, "I've been played."
"..."
"Queen." Tan Yao added.
There was a burst of gloating laughter.
"When I woke up in the morning, I was still thinking about being warm, but she just threw a bundle of money on the bed, and then took my mobile phone number." Tan Yao said with a face full of pain.
Huang Yaming kept "hissing" for air-conditioning, and said with a smile: "Didn't you just want to deal with her? She is really good-looking, with a good face and figure, and that mature charm. And you still have What's so painful about collecting money?"
"That's right. Actually, I quite like her. She is indeed a very attractive woman. The problem is, it's me who wants to handle her, not me who wants to be handled by her. There is a big difference in feeling between playing and being played. Big one, I really can't accept it psychologically. I'm a playboy, a prodigal son... not a bad boy. I'm a beast, a wolf, not a little white rabbit!"
Tan Yao howled.
"Then, why don't you tell her not to give the money next time? Will that make you feel better?" Xu Tingsheng made a suggestion.
Tan Yao shook his head and said, "It's useless. I told her that when she gave me the money in the morning, but she said that I look pleasing to the eye and my background is relatively simple, so it's just boring and lonely. Then, if you don't give money , both parties are prone to other emotions, so we must give it."
"..."
"She also said, let me just treat myself as being taken care of by her." Tan Yao said awkwardly in a low voice.
"Pfft..." Xu Tingsheng and Huang Yaming couldn't care about Tan Yao's sad face and laughed.
"Is she joking with you?" Fu Cheng, who had been silent all this time, answered.
"No," Tan Yao said, "You didn't see the expression on her face when she spoke... There was no expression at all. There was also a tone, and there was no tone. Just tell me in a very normal and cold manner, and you will be taken care of by me. Come on, take the money, don't think too much, I'll go first, and I'll call you next time when it's convenient. By the way, you can't call me. "
Tan Yao repeated Ye Qing's words in the expressionless and toneless state he described.
Xu Tingsheng and Fu Cheng laughed so hard that they squatted on the ground, Huang Yaming cried out the pain while laughing.
"Laughing fart, just watch, the uncle can't go back next time." Tan Yao said.
…
At noon, taking advantage of Huang Yaming's chance to go out to buy food, Xu Tingsheng drove to the hotel where he was attacked and had a look. A wedding was unexpectedly held at the hotel where the violence happened just this morning.
Then, Xu Tingsheng met an unexpected person, Chen Jianxing, who is today's groom.
The wedding car and the wedding ceremony were very luxurious. Chen Jianxing, who was standing at the door with the bride on his arm, saw Xu Tingsheng's car from a distance, stopped for a while, and raised his hand to say hello.
Xu Tingsheng didn't respond and drove away.
After all, Chen Jianxing will not look back. So what about the lonely mother and daughter? Really don't care
Not too far from the car, Xu Tingsheng saw a mother and daughter in a somewhat remote alley. The mother in her thirties was dressed plainly and was gentle and beautiful, while the daughter wore two braids. She was fair and cute.
They were looking at the wedding in the distance.
The little girl was saying, "Mom, look, Daddy, it's Daddy."
The woman tightened her daughter's hand and said nothing.
