Last time, the whole class gathered together for a half-moon party, but this time it was Wu Tao’s private treat. All the guests were invited to play well before, and the atmosphere was more relaxed than usual, so there was no need to deliberately use some boring games to heat up the atmosphere. Although a few people have become estranged a lot after entering the third year of high school, it is not that they have nothing to talk about.
Yu Yu was still about to be suffocated by the college entrance examination. As soon as he entered the room, he held the microphone, screaming and screaming. No song was in tune. A song that Dou Xun often replays as a "headphone fine", he shoved the microphone into Dou Xun's hand: "Come and sing."
For a while, the private room was quiet.
The last time they joked and forced Dou Xun to sing, they almost made people anxious. Lao Cheng looked at Xu Xilin with a shocked expression, as if he was a fat rabbit with a tiger's beard!
Wu Tao remembered that he took the lead in treating the guests this time to seek reconciliation, and hurriedly coughed: "Uh, that..."
Just as he spoke, Dou Xun picked up the microphone.
Wu Tao: "..."
Dou Xun has never sang in public. Even when the flag was raised on Monday, he lip-synched casually. He turned the microphone off and on again, and before he had time to study it, the song had already been cut. He hurriedly raised the microphone. , I don't know what volume to use, I groped and hummed a few words, and when I turned around, I found that Xu Xilin was looking at him, and a layer of sweat broke out on his back, he quickly retracted his eyes, and stared blankly at the subtitles on the screen. , as if doing "lyric reading comprehension".
At the beginning of the first half of the song, Dou Xun couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and when he entered the chorus, he obviously knew how to sing a lot.
Xu Xilin was afraid that he would not be embarrassed to chat with others, so he ordered a few songs for him. After a while, Dou Xun quickly mastered the karaoke skills and found fun. He started to order songs for himself. He is good at headphone and can sing a few words about everything. Although he can't say that he is very skilled, but for KTV standards, if he is not out of tune, he can sing well, and people often applaud him.
Wu Tao breathed a sigh of relief, leaned his back on the sofa, turned his head and said to Xu Xilin, "He seems to talk a lot better now."
Xu Xilin rejected the cigarette he handed over and smiled.
Wu Tao looked at him in the dimly lit place and found that Xu Xilin had also changed a lot. He didn't care about trimming his hair for a while. It would be approaching the college entrance examination, and no one would care about such details. Now, the eyes covered by the overlapping light and shadow of the private rooms seem to be covered with a layer of worry.
Xu Xilin: "Congratulations, we are still studying hard, and you are basically inseparable."
"What's there to congratulate." Wu Tao said in a very niche English love song by Dou Xun, "It is unrealistic to be a professional athlete at my level, our family wants me to become a teacher, and in the future Looking for someone, if I can come back to be a physical education teacher, I will become a person like Lao Zhu in the future, and it’s boring to think about it.”
Lao Zhu is their sports teacher, a middle-aged man in his fifties. His wife thought he was incompetent and dumped him. He wears sports clothes all year round, no one takes care of him, and his trousers always seem to be unclean.
Because he was too unreputable to be a serious physical education teacher, the school had to let him play with a bunch of kids during the activity class. The boys had already rushed to the stadium in a hurry, and the girls would not run around. Playing smashing sandbags next to him, if the sandbags leaked, he went to look for Lao Zhu next to him, he stood beside him, and sewed while holding rubber bands for others.
Wu Tao smiled bitterly: "I can't even sew sandbags."
"Why do you have to be a physical education teacher?" Xu Xilin looked away from Dou Xun's back and glanced at Wu Tao, "Is it bad to do business in the sporting goods industry in the future? Or just find a gym or sports center. It’s okay to be a private tutor, you can earn more and easily, and you will know a lot of people.”
"That's not a serious job, the physical education teacher has a system." Wu Tao laughed, "You don't understand, besides, how much money can you make in a private restaurant with people dancing? Isn't that similar to a beauty salon? "
Xu Xilin wanted to say that a good coach in their community cost more than 200 per hour, but after thinking about it, it was boring to say it, as if to show off how much he knew - and even if it was 2000 per hour, there was no training.
He then said politely and perfunctorily: "Yes, it is safe to be a teacher."
In high school, everyone sat in the same classroom and read. Some were good at school, some were at the back of the crane, but no matter what their grades were, they still played together after class and made trouble together, as if no one was different from anyone else. At this moment, Xu Xilin suddenly felt an indescribable power, and the gap between people's ideas and people's thoughts was getting bigger and bigger.
Wu Tao stood up, ordered drinks and came back after a while.
Xu Xilin: "..."
The country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, Wu Tao is still very stubborn.
Lao Cheng screamed and was about to stretch out his hand, but was slapped back by Xu Xilin: "Are you looking for death? There is still a night study at night. Let Qilixiang smell it and peel you off."
Wu Tao threw a bottle of mineral water to Lao Cheng: "Don't drink it, I won't start self-study next week, so I don't have to go at night, this is for Dou Xun."
Xu Xilin: "No..."
Wu Tao turned his head and asked him: "Please ask the group seat, can I offer a cup to Dou Daxian?"
Now Xu Xilin can't say anything anymore. I just felt that Wu Tao is more mature, but now it still seems very annoying.
Even if it is good not to drink, in the end everyone still drinks a little.
Dou Xun didn't know if he was in a good mood or a bad mood. He was very good at talking that night. Wu Tao came over with a drink, and he really took it. Let Wu Tao control the rhythm, Wu Tao touches him after saying a few words, and Dou Xun that silly roe deer consciously takes a sip after touching a glass, without anyone asking.
Xu Xilin covered his face, feeling that he might have to carry Dou Xun back later.
And then really drank too much.
In the evening, Wu Tao laughed until his tongue was so big that he couldn't stop laughing. Dou Xun's eyes became a little straight, and Xu Xilin had no choice: "Let's go, you go back to school first, and take Brother Tao to the dormitory by the way, I'll take the one home first... It's okay, I won't say whether I will go to Qilixiang for my evening self-study."
Dou Xun drank too much and was very good. He didn't make noise or make trouble, but he was a little dumb-he wasn't as smart as usual. Xu Xilin dismissed the people, led Dou Xun to the bathroom and vomited, and gave him a bottle of mineral water to rinse his mouth. He wanted to make a few remarks. Later, when he looked at his virtue of not being able to find the North, he felt that it was useless to say it, so he closed it. He opened his mouth and sat with him silently for a while.
Dou Xun drank his face, and even the tip of his nose and eyes were red, as if he had just cried a bit, looking a little pitiful, followed Xu Xilin a few steps, and suddenly grabbed his hand.
Xu Xilin's fingers curled up uncomfortably.
Dou Xun: "I feel uncomfortable."
Xu Xilin: "Didn't spit clean?"
Dou Xun shook his head, then kept holding his hands with both hands, he actually squatted down and stayed where he was!
Xu Xilin bent over to look at his face: "Why are you uncomfortable? Stomach?"
Dou Xun shook his head.
Xu Xilin: "Dizzy?"
Dou Xun still shook his head, with a childish look on his face, he shook his head when he asked anything, but didn't move.
There are more guests in the half moon, and those who come in and out have to take a look at them both.
Xu Xilin suddenly felt as if he was leading a mentally handicapped child, and said to Dou Xun, "Get up first, we are blocking the way."
Dou Xun still shook his head. Xu Xilin had no choice but to stand up and walk to one side. Dou Xun grabbed his hand and did not stand up. He squatted on the ground and was dragged by him.
Xu Xilin dragged for a while, feeling that the two of them were posing like a sled dog pulling a cart, and stopped helplessly: "What the hell are you doing?"
Dou Xun squatted on the ground, looked up at him, there seemed to be a little tears in his eyes, and then he lowered his head as if he was being discovered by peeping, and whispered, "I feel... uncomfortable."
Xu Xilin: "..."
Xu Xilin was at a loss for a moment, and then looked at Dou Xun again, only to see a swirl of hair. Dou Xun's long eyelashes were drooping, and he seemed to be trembling slightly uneasy, pitiful.
Xu Xilin couldn't take it anymore after taking a look. The thought that was suppressed by him that day tried to show a side again, scratching his heart. Xu Xilin felt that he hadn't drank too much, but his footsteps were a little fluttering. A thought broke through the boundary of the civic and broke in.
He thought, "Do I like Dou Xun?"
To him, Dou Xun is different from others.
When the spring breeze is proud, everyone is his friends - Lao Cheng has no heart, Cai Jing's family conditions are not good, Wu Tao always hangs out with that group of people, Dou Xun's three words are not good if he doesn't deal with others. When the fight started, Yu was still the hero of the high school girl who used to take bricks for others since she was a child. Every time she came out to play, Xu Xilin would ask her to send a short message to her to report safety when she got home—he took care of him the same way.
But when he experienced the greatest pain in his nearly eighteen years of life, other people were isolated from his joys, sorrows and sorrows. He would not talk to others, or even show a little bit in school... After all, they are outsider.
Only Dou Xun is different.
Xu Xilin sighed, feeling that he was stepping on a rather dangerous place with one foot, he bent down, supported Dou Xun's armpit with both hands, forcibly pulled him from the ground, grabbed Dou Xun's collar, and stumblingly led the way. The aggrieved drunk goes home.
In the bathroom where Dou Xun had vomited just now, Li Bozhi slowly pushed open the door of the compartment.
He also drank wine. Just now, when Wu Tao was taken out by his group of "studied" friends, Li Bozhi was watching from the box next door.
Li Bozhi's family is a bit like Cai Jing, but his father is his own father, and his mother ran away with someone else. When he was just admitted to No. 6 Middle School, his father used him to brag about him outside for a few days, and even brought him here with his luggage. After leaving school, Li Bozhi really wanted to read aloud for a while.
It's a pity that the wish is good, but the reality is cruel. He soon discovered that it is far from a fantasy to say "reading the name", even in the school team is more difficult than the name. His dad was fresh, but the more he looked at him, the more unpleasant he became. Seeing that he didn't have any other achievements, he didn't care anymore.
After Li Bozhi's depression, he decided to start "chasing", mixing with the prestige and the prestige for a day, the prestige was happy, and he could temporarily forget his fear and loneliness, and only focus on the present. At this time, Li Bozhi felt betrayed by his best friend.
Don't we tacitly hang out together? Isn't it worthless together, warming each other and flouting various rules? Fighting together today, and living next door to prison together tomorrow is the righteousness—how can you correct yourself
Li Bozhi used to play with the first class occasionally because of Wu Tao's relationship. At that time, except that the key class was too soft and boring to play, he didn't feel anything, and as he approached graduation, as he became more and more anxious, Li Bozhi became more and more anxious. At the beginning, it became more and more unbearable for Wu Tao to be with the first group of people. Anxiety and blessings made him jealous. He led a group of people to follow Wu Tao and the others to the moon and half of the moon, and spent the afternoon drinking wine.
"What's the matter, Brother Li, is there a holiday?" A young man with yellow hair followed up and asked - all the gangsters he encountered when he jumped over the wall and skipped class.
Li Bozhi's eyes swept across his face, and he was impulsive: "You can help me with errands, and I will invite you to drink another day."
Xu Xilin led a Dou Xun away from Yuebanwan. This meeting was lively outside. There was a crowd of demons dancing and everyone was dancing around. Xu Xilin hesitated for a while and planned to try his luck at the back door. He went against the flow of people. Crossing the path, he said to Dou Xun, "I want to vomit."
Dou Xun didn't say a word, and slapped Xu Xilin's hand openly, insisting on inserting his fingers in a gesture of interlocking fingers. Xu Xilin was itchy between his fingers, and when he was about to pull it out, the two were pulling and pulling in a small space.
Just when Xu Xilin was about to run out of patience, suddenly, a few unknown gangsters came over in front of the path. Xu Xilin wanted to drag Dou Xun out of the way a little bit, but the gangster deliberately bumped over.
Xu Xilin took a half step back and frowned. Seeing the gangster looking at him provocatively, he knew that they were here to cause trouble on purpose. He pulled Dou Xun sideways and swept in the direction behind Fang Cai. Sure enough, he saw a few people. follow him. First, Dou Xun made his forehead sweat after drinking some wine, and secondly, he never offended anyone, so he didn't notice it for a while.
Xu Xilin: "Is something wrong?"
The little bastard looked him up and down, his eyes fell on his sneakers, he said "tsk tsk" twice, put one hand in his pocket, and moved his hand threateningly in his pocket.
"It's alright," the gangster said, "I'm a little tight on money, I see if you feel a connection, I want to get to know you and borrow some money."
If it was placed a year ago, it is estimated that the other party could not finish the sentence, and Master Xu had already started. But now it's different, he first thinks that one thing is worse than one thing less, he can't let his grandma worry about it, and there is a drunk cat to take care of.
"It's easy to say," Xu Xilin touched his bag, took out his wallet, and shook it, "How much do you want, buddy?"
The bastard looked at him without a smile: "Don't need too much, first give 10,000 or 20,000 flowers."
This is determined to find something.
Xu Xilin smiled and looked around: "You guys blocked me in this small alley to the west. Did you follow us when you went out? Tell me, who am I offending?"
The gangster said with a smile: "No one, it's pleasing to the eye, and I want to chat with you."
As he spoke, he took his hand out of his pocket and took out a pocket-length pocket knife, which popped out for a while, then retracted to play, and tilted his chin: "It's inconvenient to talk here, go in and have a couple of drinks. How about it?"
His voice fell, and a hand covered with tattoos was placed on Xu Xilin's shoulder from behind.
Xu Xilin exhaled secretly and resisted the urge to turn his head. Who knew that before he had time to speak, Dou Xun, who had been following him obediently, suddenly quit, took a step forward and pulled the hand off his shoulder, ruthlessly. As soon as it fell, it fell on the face of the tattooed man.
The drunk man was very strong, and the tattooed man was caught off guard and slapped by himself, and immediately became angry: "Don't give your face!"
Xu Xilin: "..."
It can really mess up.
Seeing that he couldn't do anything good, he had no choice but to do it. Xu Xilin carried the schoolbag in his hand and gave the tattooed man a foot, which happened to be on his waist. There were no ribs on his waist, which was one of the key points. After sitting on the ground, Xu Xilin turned his head and pushed Dou Xun: "Let's go first!"
But the bean paste didn't cooperate at all. Not only did he not leave, he also rushed up and hugged Xu Xilin like an octopus.
Xu Xilin was caught off guard by him and took three steps backwards. He slammed into the wall of the path. He was crazy. He wished he could turn Dou Xun upside down to empty the alcohol in his mind and ask where this kid was.
Dou Xun pushed him against the wall, turned his back to Xu Xilin without saying a word, and opened his arms to block him behind him, just like an eagle catching a chicken.
Xu Xilin: "..."
Dou Xun probably wanted to say something, opened his mouth, and probably forgot his words again, so the drunk poked in the alley, maintaining this silly protective action, and confronted a group of gangsters.
"The idiot you brought? Beat him!"
Xu Xilin was moved and devastated. At this moment, there was a loud noise at the end of the path. A tall man walked in with a stick in his hand and knocked on the trash can at the intersection.
The people in the alley looked over together, and someone whispered, "Song Lianyuan."
The little gangster met the big gangster, and the one with the knife became nervous. Song Lianyuan lit a cigarette, and said slowly, "We're all friends, it's okay to have two drinks, but my brother is a senior in high school this year, and he's late at home. Don't worry, everyone understands, right?"
A group of gangsters dare not not understand.
Song Lianyuan smiled and waved at Xu Xilin: "Xiaolin, come here, brother will call a car to take you home."
The gangster who blocked the road reluctantly gave way, and Xu Xilin breathed a sigh of relief.
When he just took out his wallet, he called Song Lianyuan. Song Lianyuan was working in the middle of the moon, and calling him was more effective than calling the police.
Song Lianyuan took the two of them into a taxi all the way, stretched out his hand and flicked on Xu Xilin's forehead: "Aunt Xu is gone, no one cares about you, right? When are you still running here to play?"
Xu Xilin took him as his eldest brother since he was a child, so he didn't dare to say a word.
But Dou Xun gave up, pulling his teeth and claws across Xu Xilin's shoulders, reaching out to cover his forehead, and glaring at Song Lianyuan.
Song Lianyuan made him amused: "What kind of wine does the little boy drink? I don't know anything about my surname, and I know how to protect you."
Xu Xilin's face was blushing with embarrassment, he hurriedly bid farewell to him, and stuffed Dou Xun into the taxi.
With great effort, he managed to drag Dou Xun into the house, and when he opened the door, he looked across the face of the grey parrot in the living room on the first floor.
The grey parrot just woke up when he opened his eyes and saw two "stinky men" who smelled of alcohol. He was furious and screamed hoarsely with the sound of "catch the hooligan".
Dou Xun was frightened in three ways by this, and he didn't see where the enemy was coming from. He first panicked and hugged Xu Xilin. Neck, as if trying to tangle him into a ball and tuck him into his arms.
