There is not much difference between the results of the final exam and the mid-term, but Zhang Ganggang has improved a lot and squeezed into the top ten.
"Finally I can take it back and do business..." Zhang Ganggang was so excited that he almost cried: "I'm always afraid that if the exam is too bad, I will lose my New Year's money."
Xie Meng put away the papers and asked casually, "What are you doing with so much New Year's money?"
Zhang Ganggang thought about it seriously: "I want to invite you to dinner first."
Xie Meng: "..."
Zhang Ganggang: "I also want to buy a gift for Rourou."
Xie Meng didn't react for a while: "What to buy?"
"Gifts." Zhang Gang pointed his fingers and counted: "Valentine's Day is coming soon."
Xie Meng: "...what are you going to buy?"
Zhang Gangbang: "That lavender bear seems to be very red now."
"..." Xie Meng said speechlessly: "Don't buy it casually, what should I do if there are worms."
Zhang Ganggang muttered, "Will the president be a worm?" He asked Xie Meng: "Then why don't you accompany me to buy it?"
Xie Meng really couldn't say anything to reject Zhang Bangbang's baby face full of hope...
Even after the winter vacation, Xie Meng's work and rest time did not change much. He got up at 6 o'clock, warmed milk, punched, and guarded against Zhang Xiujuan's sneak attack. The two spent half an hour.
"I'm going out to eat at noon today, and the meal is ready for you." Xie Meng said, pushing Zhang Xiujuan's palms away.
Zhang Xiujuan reached out with her palm and wiped Xie Meng's chin over: "Yeah, it's a date."
Xie Meng tilted his head and avoided: "It's a boy."
Zhang Xiujuan gave up and said with a smile, "It's rare to find boys, you haven't brought your friends back."
Xie Meng: "There will be opportunities in the future."
Zhang Xiujuan didn't believe it: "You said the same thing in junior high school, but there was none."
Xie Meng: "Now and then are different."
Zhang Xiujuan asked him, "Which one is better?"
Xie Meng thought for a while: "It's better now." After a pause, he added: "I met a lot of people and are very happy."
Zhang Ganggang said that he wanted to treat the guests to dinner, and his posture was very full, but his face was too tender and wrapped like a ball. The waiter finally handed the bill to Xie Meng.
"I'll pay! I'll pay!" Zhang Gangbang was in a hurry, and he threw the red envelope on the table in a forceful manner: "Just draw!"
Xie Meng: "..."
waiter:"… "
In the end, the two of them only ate more than 200 yuan to death. Because the red envelopes of Zhang Ganggang were too eye-catching, Xie Meng decided to buy a wallet first.
"How much lucky money did you take?" Zhang Ganggang asked Xie Meng secretly.
"We don't have any relatives in our family." Xie Meng picked the color of the wallet, and he took a light brown one and asked, "How about this."
Zhang Ganggang glanced at it casually: "Okay... Grandpa and grandma should give it, right?"
Xie Meng: "I live with my grandmother, and my parents have passed away." He asked the salesperson to cut the label, indicating that there was no need to pack the bag, and when he turned back, he saw Zhang Banggang's expression of wanting to die.
"..." Xie Meng couldn't help laughing and crying: "What are you thinking, they are gone in my elementary school, and it's okay to tell you."
Zhang Ganggang wanted to engrave the words "I am a sinner" on his face. He pooh-poohed twice: "We don't talk about this, we are happy and happy."
Xie Meng laughed: "I'm very happy. You invited me out and invited me to dinner. All these make me very happy."
He looked at Zhang Gangbang and said with a smile, "Thank you."
As for the gift for Rourou, the two people with little experience in love chose a big fluffy bear very savagely. Because of the big relationship, the Zhang lever could only be carried back on the back.
"What are you going to give her?" Xie Meng couldn't help asking.
Zhang Ganggang: "Send it to her, it will cause trouble for Rou Rou directly to school."
Xie Meng: "...you are really virtuous."
Zhang Ganggang doesn't mind when others say that he is virtuous. Their family is similar to the model of men who are inside and women who are outside. Men's virtuousness does not mean demeaning to him.
After buying the bear, I walked around the street for a while. Zhang Gangbang wanted to eat ice cream, and Xie Meng also bought it for him. The two took turns carrying the bear on their backs.
"No way...get down..." Zhang Gang was sweating profusely in the cold weather. He decided to carry the bear back first: "Will you come to my house for dinner at night? My mother keeps asking you about it."
Xie Meng: "Forget it today. Next time, you can come to my house."
Zhang Ganggang naturally had no problem, he got on the bus funny with a bear on his back, and he waved to Xie Meng through the window.
"Be careful." Xie Meng pointed to his bear: "It's going to be given away."
"I know." Zhang Gang smiled back at him.
Early in the winter night, Xie Meng sent Zhang Bangbang away and was not in a hurry to go home. He pulled the hat of the down jacket over his head and walked to Daoqian Street alone.
At the beginning of the Chinese lanterns, the New Year's flavor has not completely dissipated. The tail lights of the cars are like neon shuttles. Xie Meng crosses the road. There are still red shredded paper left after the firecrackers are set off in the streets and alleys. The cultural market will open on the fifth day of the new year. Many students are preparing for the next semester's practice materials.
Xie Meng had seen a row of bookshelves and was about to bend over to look for it when someone stretched out his arm and touched the back of his head.
The man bowed his head and called Xie Meng's name uncertainly.
Xie Meng raised his head, a little surprised: "Han Dong?"
"Long time no see." Han Dong nodded as a greeting: "How are you doing recently?"
Xie Meng made a gesture of spreading his hands, and he smiled a little: "It's a good time."
Han Dong looked at each other carefully.
"Happy New Year," he said finally.
The cultural market is very close to S Gao, and there are many coffee shops nearby where students can warm up their books. In front of Ji Qinyang is a cup of snow-topped milk coffee, bored waiting for Ji Moli to pick a cake.
"I want both..." Ji Moli frowned, "buy both."
Ji Qinyang glanced at her: "Isn't it enough for you to gain 6 pounds in a new year?"
Ji Moli rolled her eyes and sat back in her seat. She studied at S high school for half a semester, and her grades were not good, but she knew all about the coffee shops around her. Taking advantage of the opportunity to buy books, she asked her cousin Ji Qinyang to accompany her to eat snacks.
The wind chimes at the door of the store rang a few times, Ji Moli raised her head subconsciously, and shrank back suddenly when she saw the person coming.
"?" Ji Qinyang raised his eyebrows: "What?"
"Shh!" Ji Moli kept her voice nervously: "I saw Han Dong!" She said cautiously, "The man of the international class, who is good-looking and a scholar, is my new boyfriend. "
Ji Qinyang is inexplicable: "...Why are you hiding from your boyfriend?"
Ji Moli said seriously: "my boyfriend is my self-proclaimed boyfriend, he doesn't know."
Ji Qinyang: "..."
Ji Moli secretly looked over again: "He came out with the boy... Well, does that person look familiar?"
Before Ji Qinyang could turn around, he heard Ji Moli suddenly say: "Ah! I saw him on the website of the BBS Junior High School! What's his name... Xie, Xie Meng?"
Han Dong bought coffee and asked Xie Meng, "What do you drink?"
Xie Meng glanced at the drink list: "Pure milk will do."
"The habit has not changed." Han Dong paid the money: "I drink milk every time I come here."
Xie Meng was noncommittal, he chose a seat by the window, and a handful of green plants just happened to block his sight.
Han Dong made a gesture: "Show you something." He took out his mobile phone, flipped through a few screenshots in the album, and pushed it to Xie Meng.
It happened to be the chat record of Zhang Lever's "Talk and Lip War" in the S Gao Group that day.
"..." Xie Meng frowned: "Did you bully him?"
Han Dong laughed: "That's not the point." He tapped the screen of his mobile phone: "These are all straight up from junior high school, and it's quite good to be able to hold on to this matter. Although the post back then was blocked, But it has not been deleted, and you will know what it means when it sinks to the bottom and the number of clicks."
Xie Meng didn't speak. He took a sip of milk and said after a while, "It doesn't matter, I'm in W now anyway."
Han Dong looked at him and said, "Lin Hengjing has been discharged from the hospital. The school is investigating this matter. If he wants to prevent his teacher's qualification certificate from being revoked, he must be convicted of your coercion."
Han Dong sighed: "You are too impulsive. Those photos were captured from a good angle, but the one who was beaten became the victim."
The on-campus BBS didn't open quickly. Ji Qinyang used Ji Moli's account to log in, and it took a long time to find the post that had been blocked. The title was "Shocking".
There are a total of three photos on the first floor, all of which were taken from the side. From the pictures, it looks like Xie Meng pressed a person against the wall for a strong kiss.
"Wow." Ji Moli covered her mouth: "This is our laboratory building... It's too exciting."
Ji Qinyang squinted, he watched carefully for a while, and suddenly said: "This is a screenshot, it should have been a video, the person who posted this post only took a few screenshots."
Ji Moli blinked: "you mean... ?"
Ji Qinyang shook his index finger and pressed it lightly between his lips.
The milk in front of Xie Meng was cold, and he looked out the window expressionlessly, with frost on his brows. The fog was attached to the glass, the sky was dark, and the lights at night were not bright.
"I found the person who took the photo, and Lin Hengjing can also find it." Han Dong motioned to the waiter to bring the business card and pen from the store: "His name is Zhuo Xiaoyuan, and by coincidence, he also passed the W middle school entrance examination. I don't know if he looked for it or not. I have passed you, but the evidence is in his hands, and Lin Hengjing will definitely find a way to find him."
Xie Meng looked down at Han Dong and wrote down Zhuo Xiaoyuan's personal information and class number. He hesitated for a while, and finally took the business card away.
"Thank you." Xie Meng said sincerely.
Han Dong: "I always believed in you."
Xie Meng nodded: "I know, the Academic Affairs Office didn't fire me in the last few months... You said it for me."
"A classmate, it should be." Han Dong stood up and patted Xie Meng on the shoulder: "Let's go, I'll take you back."
Qi Fei's house is not much, there are many people, so that every Chinese New Year, the dinner is not finished until the eighth day of the lunar new year. When he received a call from Ji Qinyang, he was holding a certain sister-in-law's daughter, and she happened to be urinating. on his legs.
"Hello!" Qi Fei answered the phone with the little girl in one hand and the other: "Who is it?!"
Ji Qinyang's voice was smiling: "Why, are you being entangled by the seventh aunt and eight aunts again?"
"..." Qi Fei sighed: "Are you here to save me?"
Ji Qinyang: "Love can't help."
Qi Fei was angry: "Then why are you calling to join in the fun..."
"Isn't there something wrong?" Ji Qinyang lowered his tone and said solemnly, "Do you know Zhuo Xiaoyuan?"
Qi Fei thought for a while: "A little familiar... It seems to be from Class 6?"
Ji Qinyang asked again, "Who does he have a better relationship with?"
"How do I know this..." Qi Fei said inexplicably, "Why do you suddenly care about others?"
Ji Qinyang didn't answer, he thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Okay, I have some numbers, hang up first."
"Hey..." Before Qi Fei could ask clearly, Ji Qinyang cut off the call.
The little girl on her lap opened her eyes, sucking her fingers and staring at her brother: "Grasshopper... Hug!"
"..." Qi Fei said frantically: "Bastard! Don't rub your saliva on my arm!"
It was not the first time for Xie Meng to ride in Han Dong's car. The drivers who drove the car also knew him. Han Dong motioned for him to go in first.
"How do I remember that it wasn't this one before?" Xie Meng looked at the trunk: "When did you change it?"
Han Dong said indifferently: "New Year's gift, open it casually."
"… "
Xie Meng changed the subject: "By the way, do you know a girl named Rourou?"
Han Dong was stunned for a while, his expression was a little subtle: "Why are you asking this?"
Xie Meng explained: "It's Zhang Ganggang, the one who quarrelled in your group. He has a very good relationship with a girl named Rourou. I don't know if you know her. How is she?"
Han Dong said without hesitation: "Of course it's very good, very good."
"?" Xie Meng glanced at him suspiciously: "You know her very well?"
Han Dong: "The relationship is good." After thinking about it, he began to list: "The family conditions are good, the study is good, the people are good, and the character is not to mention. Respect teachers and friends and love classmates."
Xie Meng: "...I didn't want to know that much."
Han Dong: "You can tell that friend of yours."
Xie Meng also makes sense.
"What about him?" Han Dong asked suddenly, "How is your friend?"
"Zhang Ganggang?" Xie Meng said seriously: "Of course he is very good, very cute, lively and generous, and studies hard."
Han Dong: "Are there any photos, show me."
Xie Meng showed him a group photo with Zhang Ganggang on his mobile phone.
Han Dong watched for a while, he frowned, a little dissatisfied: "Is there no single person, send me one."
Xie Meng: "..."
Han Dong's car could only be sent to Shantang Street. Xie Meng went down and said goodbye to Han Dong through the car window.
"Tell me if you have any trouble." Han Dong looked at him: "I will help if I can."
Xie Meng bent over, he nodded: "I know, thank you."
Han Dong waved his hand, he instructed the driver to turn around, and said "goodbye" to Xie Meng.
The annual meeting on Shantang Street is not over yet, there are noisy stalls and hawkers lining the aisle, Han Dong's car dealership is difficult, and the red taillights are flashing in the endless neon.
The dragon dance team blocked Xie Meng's sight. He slowly walked up to the arch bridge. The familiar mammy on the top of the bridge gave him a freshly made marshmallow: "Zaizi, happy new year."
"Happy New Year." Xie Meng smiled.
Sitting on the pier, he could see the black-panelled boat swimming at night as soon as he lowered his head, the people on the oars sang songs, a pole shattered the shadows of the lanterns on both sides of the strait, and the long dragon meandered across the bank of the bridge, igniting the pink walls and black tiles. with pavilions.
