Ye Cheng kept squatting on the ground and looked up at him.
In fact, a few times just now, he was vaguely aware that there seemed to be someone behind him, but Lu Xiao probably waited for him to walk away before continuing to follow.
His mood was a little complicated, and he forgot to move on.
Lu Xiao took a few steps forward, bent over and squatted in front of him, and lowered her head to help him tie his shoelaces. His bony fingers deftly passed through the shoelaces, his brows and eyes were low and soft, completely devoid of the hostility just now, and his eyes were serious and focused.
Ye Cheng's gaze moved down, staring at the bow tie that was about to take shape, and said sullenly: "Aren't you unwilling to let me know you, why are you following me here?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that his tone was full of anger, so he cleared his throat unnaturally to cover up.
After tying the shoelaces, Lu Xiao let go.
With his arms on his knees, he looked exactly like the golden retriever they had raised, the way he made that look every time he bit something.
"I didn't say that." He pouted.
Some things are easy for him to subdue, and some things are related to the dignity of a man. Even if he followed Ye Cheng all the way, he didn't want to be the first to admit that he had done something wrong.
What's more, it was Zhang Qi who provoked him first.
Ye Cheng just squatted face to face with him, looked into his eyes and said, "Didn't you mean that just now? You think you don't need my intervention in your life, so you can do whatever you want from now on. Smoking, drinking, fighting Fight, whatever you want, I don't bother to care about it anymore."
The more he talked, the more angry he got, he stood up abruptly and wanted to leave.
This time, she got up too violently, Ye Cheng's eyes went dark, and her body wobbled unsteadily.
Lu Xiao quickly stood up and supported him, "Slow down."
Ye Cheng failed to play prestige, and even fell into his arms. She threw off his hand in embarrassment, turned around and strode away.
Lu Xiao immediately caught up with him, and quickly explained: "I don't smoke or drink, and I don't use electronic cigarettes now, and I didn't initiate the fights. I will... try not to fight in the future, that's fine."
People who are angry can't hear the words "let's do it" the most, Ye Cheng sneered and asked back: "So you think you are right?"
Alright, it's equivalent to perfunctory, and perfunctory is equivalent to him thinking that he is right.
Lu Xiao let out a breath, and had to surrender with both hands: "OK, then I was wrong."
"You said you were wrong."
Here comes the classic proposition.
Lu Xiao endured the humiliation and said, "You shouldn't fight."
No wonder, if he didn't have to coax his boyfriend, he would want to screw Zhang Qi's head off right now.
"What else?" Ye Cheng's eyes were burning.
"Anything else?" Lu Xiao was confused, "I haven't smoked or drank recently."
Ye Cheng showed disappointment: "You still don't understand what's wrong, think about it."
Across the road was his residential area, and he went straight across the road to go home.
Of course Lu Xiao followed him, but before stepping into the door of Ye's house, she was shut out with a bang.
Gao Qiulan was peeling peanuts, and was about to make peanut and pork knuckle soup for Ye Qiaoqiao, when she saw Ye Cheng come back angrily, she asked, "What's wrong, Cheng Cheng, who made you unhappy?"
"It's nothing." Ye Cheng locked herself in the room without looking back.
Lu Xiao's wailing came from the door: "Grandma, are you there? Open the door for me."
Gao Qiulan hurriedly replied, "Yes, I'm here."
She wiped her hands on the apron, walked over to open the door and said, "What's the matter with this child, why did you lock yourself out, really."
She pulled Lu Xiao in.
Lu Xiao pursed her lips in aggrieved face and said, "He quarreled with me and is angry."
Gao Qiulan didn't know that they had that kind of relationship, she was immediately annoyed, and defended him: "Even if you get angry again, you shouldn't be locked out, it's so rude. Besides, what's the point of getting angry between friends, and making such a fuss?" Fire, are you fighting?"
Lu Xiao thought to herself that I couldn't even bear to touch him with a finger, so I beat him. If he beat me, I wouldn't fight back, okay
"There was no fight, grandma, please let me stay here for a while, and I will think about how to apologize to him." He said.
Gao Qiulan couldn't bear her grandson bossing him around, so she said angrily: "Oh, I'm still apologizing. I'll take him out of the room to apologize to you now. What's the matter with him? It will be so big."
"Don't! Don't! I didn't do well in this matter." Lu Xiao quickly dissuaded her.
Just kidding, if Ye Cheng were to apologize to him, then his entire high school career would be ruined.
All homework rewards and exam rewards are gone.
Gao Qiulan saw that he was determined to persist, so she could only pour him a glass of water and went to the kitchen to peel peanuts.
Lu Xiao glanced at the phone, but there was no reply from Jiang Jin.
He poked Tan Xiaoqi: [Are you there? Quickly help me out.]
Tan Xiaoqi had a premonition of what would happen today, and she was secretly looking at her mobile phone during evening self-study. Seeing this, immediately reply him: [Yes, you won't have conflicts with Brother Cheng, will you?]
Lu Xiao was taken aback for a moment: [How do you know?]
Tan Xiaoqi told him what happened during the day, and repeatedly regretted that she really didn't expect that Ye Cheng didn't know.
Lu Xiao typed: [It has nothing to do with you, he will find that post online sooner or later.]
Tan Xiaoqi: [[Big Cry.jpg] Woohoo, I must know everything you said just now.]
Suspect X: [Do you know how to coax an Aquarius man? My head is about to explode.]
Tan Xiaoqi: [! ! !]
Tan Xiaoqi: [Tell me the story of your quarrel first.]
Lu Xiao described the scene to her just now, carefully word by word, for fear of missing any details.
Tan Xiaoqi immediately said: [Brother Xiao, you are really an idiot in love.]
Tan Xiaoqi: [First of all, you shouldn't admit your mistake so late, why did you follow him all the way? Just to continue betting with him? If you just admit your mistake when you tie your shoelaces, nothing will happen now.]
Lu Xiao frowned and thought about her words.
Tan Xiaoqi: [Secondly, you actually said to him, "Let's do it"! If Li Junxiao said to me, "It's okay if I was wrong" or "I'm sorry, okay", I would tell him to leave on the spot.]
Suspect X: [... Is it so serious?]
Tan Xiaoqi: [This is an attitude! Do you understand the attitude? He doesn't care if you really know it's wrong, he just cares if you take him to heart! Even if you think you are right from the bottom of your heart, you have to say "I'm sorry" seriously, this is the so-called attitude between lovers!]
Suspect X: [= = Got it.]
"I was wrong" can't add "OK".
"I'm sorry" can't add "OK".
Tan Xiaoqi: [In the end, he was the one who asked you what else was wrong. Brother Xiao, you have overlooked the most important point, that is, when he asks you what you are going to do, you should not find excuses to deal with him. You can have disagreements with him, and you can quarrel upside down, but lying and perfunctory will really hurt people.]
Lu Xiao felt enlightened, enlightened, and enlightened.
He replied: [Thank you so much, I will treat you to dinner tomorrow.]
Tan Xiaoqi sent an emoji of touching her head: [Brother Cheng is angry because he cares about you, so don't blame him.]
Lu Xiao put down her phone and knocked on Ye Cheng's door.
"Come in," said the inside.
He opened the door and entered, and saw Ye Cheng leaning on the bed and flipping through a book.
Ye Cheng saw him, threw the book aside casually, and said coldly, "What's the matter?"
He already knew that Gao Qiulan would let her in, and he also knew that he would do some self-reflection outside. He didn't read a single word of that book, and he felt lonely after reading it for twenty minutes.
Lu Xiao lowered her hands and said, "I thought about it seriously, and I know where I went wrong."
Ye Cheng sat up straight and folded her arms to signal him to continue.
Lu Xiao: "I know that you don't let me fight for my safety. I also know that you are working hard to adapt to me and understand me. I shouldn't say those hurtful things."
He paused and added, "I shouldn't have lied to you."
Without waiting for Ye Cheng's reaction, he took a step forward and knelt down in front of him.
Ye Cheng sat on the bed, a little taller than him, and looked down at him.
"Ah Cheng, it's the first time I'm in love, and I don't understand anything. Can you teach me in the future, and tell me what I'm not doing well, and I will slowly correct it." He held Ye Cheng hand, said in a low voice.
This was the first time he called "A Cheng", and it was very similar to him many years later, and the sound went straight to the soul.
Ye Cheng's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears welled up uncontrollably.
When Lu Xiao saw that he was about to cry, she immediately panicked, and hurriedly tried to wipe his tears: "I...did I say something wrong, don't cry."
He had never seen Ye Cheng cry, his heart was in a ball, and he blamed himself: "Damn me, my mouth is too stupid. You can beat me and scold me, just don't cry, okay?"
In the next second, Ye Cheng leaned over and hugged her.
Lu Xiao was stunned, then reached out and patted his back to comfort him.
Ye Cheng buried her face in the hollow of his shoulder, said with a strong nasal voice, "I promise."
It took a while for Lu Xiao to realize that he was answering his last sentence. He hugged Ye Cheng tightly, wishing to crush this person into his arms.
Ye Cheng suddenly became very clingy to him, holding him for more than ten minutes and still refused to let go. On the one hand, he really didn't want to be separated from Lu Xiao, on the other hand, he felt that his red eyes were a bit embarrassing.
Damn, it was so embarrassing to be made to cry by a kid.
After parting, Lu Xiao stroked his hair and said softly, "It's all my fault, I won't make you sad next time."
"Ok."
"Stop reading today, go to bed early."
"Ok."
Lu Xiao felt that Ye Cheng, who exposed his vulnerable side, could especially arouse his desire to protect, but he really didn't want to see Ye Cheng cry, so it's better not to do it again.
He hesitated for a moment and asked, "By the way, what did you tell Zhang Qi? He didn't threaten you, did he?"
He has been worrying about this question, but it's hard to ask.
Ye Cheng has a good way of dealing with this kind of bad boy, and said to him: "I told him that Hua Wangchun will come over soon, so that he can get out if he doesn't want to be expelled."
Lu Xiao laughed and said, "Does he believe it too?"
On second thought, if someone else said this, Zhang Qi might not believe it, but he had to believe what Ye Cheng said. Because Hua Wangchun asked Ye Cheng for a question before, he and Zhou Kai thought that Ye Cheng might be Hua Wangchun's relative.
Ye Cheng pinched his cheek and said, "You have to believe it, I don't want to see you being expelled one day."
Lu Xiao's face was not fleshy when pinched, but not everyone dared to pinch his face so boldly, the sense of possession was far better than the feel of the hand.
"No." He turned his head and kissed Ye Cheng's palm.
Hot lips brushed against the palm, Ye Cheng retracted her hand sensitively, and whispered: "Grandma is still outside."
Lu Xiao got up with a smile and said, "You have a good rest, I'll go back first."
Ye Cheng was a little bit reluctant for him to leave, but still nodded: "Go back and pay attention to safety, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow, Ah Cheng."
When Lu Xiao came out of the room, Gao Qiulan was poking her head in the living room. Seeing him coming out, she said, "Xiao Lu, your phone has been ringing for a long time, and someone has been calling you."
"Okay, let me see." Lu Xiao said.
Gao Qiulan asked, "How is it? Are you reconciled?"
Lu Xiao smiled and said, "It's made up."
"Let's stay here for the night. Tomorrow is the weekend, so you two can sleep in." Gao Qiulan said.
Lu Xiao shook her head: "Next time, grandma."
Since he refused, Gao Qiulan couldn't keep him anymore, so she sent him to the door and told him to send Ye Cheng a message when he got home.
Lu Xiao waved his hand and turned to leave.
After leaving the community, he called Jiang Jin back.
There was a commotion over there, and Jiang Jin said at the top of his voice, "Brother Xiao, someone has been brought to the private room, when are you coming?"
"Now pass." Lu Xiao narrowed her eyes.
He stopped a car on the road and went straight to a ktv private room on Shanhai Road.
When the door was pushed open, the light inside was dim, there were several people sitting on the sofa, and another person stood obediently against the wall.
"Brother Xiao, you're here." Zhou Minhao stood up from the sofa and said.
Jiang Jin also came over, and pushed the person sticking to the wall in front of him: "It's just the complaint, and he did the secret filming."
Zhou Kai was trembling, and begged for mercy: "Brother Xiao, I didn't mean to slip up. Brother Cheng said that if I didn't tell the truth, he would beat me up."
Lu Xiao looked at him up and down, and said slowly, "Do you really think you've lived too long? It's only three years, Zhou Kai, you've heard this sentence, right?"
Zhou Kai's psychological defense suddenly collapsed, and he was so scared that he almost peed his pants: "I, I, I swear, I will never cause trouble again in the next year, and it will not appear in front of your eyes! I promise to do what I say! Zhang I've already broken up with Qi over there, brother Xiao, trust me one last time!"
Lu Xiao licked her lips and said, "You're lucky, I just promised Ye Cheng not to fight."
Zhou Kai swallowed nervously, thinking that he was going to let him go, and tremblingly said: "Thank you, brother Xiao."
"However, a fight can only be carried out by both parties. A one-sided fight is not called a fight." Lu Xiao said.
Before Zhou Kai could figure out what he meant, he was punched in the face and let out a scream.
Lu Xiao couldn't bear it anymore and gave him two more punches. Fuck you idiot, sue my boyfriend.
Surrounded by a group of people, Zhou Kai didn't even dare to resist, and fell to the ground with a bruised nose and swollen face.
Lu Xiao knelt down and reached out to him.
Zhou Kai shrank back in fright, but he just straightened the collar of the other party, and his voice was very gentle: "If Ye Cheng asked what happened to your face, what would you say?"
"I... accidentally bumped into it." Zhou Kai said in a crying voice.
Lu Xiao patted his cheek crisply, raised the corner of her mouth and praised, "You're really sensible."
