After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Hu Guoqing's mother took Xiaoya to the Northeast, and Hu Guoqing was the only one left in the family, accompanied by Mu Zhen, but it was not lonely, but the relationship between the two became more and more intimate.

The happy time that Mu Zhen and Hu Guoqing spent together was a day worth remembering for the two of them for a lifetime, Hu Guoqing's three meals a day no longer went home, and chose to eat at school, he and Mu Zhen naturally became the best partners, living and studying together. Both of them have a common idea, that is, to use their academic performance to prove their ability, and the two secretly compete, but they know each other, it turns out that every night Hu Guoqing works overtime until late at night in order to make up for homework, Mu Zhen always wakes up and finds that Hu Guoqing is still studying hard under the lamp.

This kind of stable life was stirred up by an accidental incident, and the two also had some disagreements.

It was one day after dinner, everyone washed the dishes and chopsticks to the classroom to study, reflecting the afterglow of the sunset, the lights in each classroom were competing to light up, Mu Zhen sitting in the classroom felt a little chill, at this time he remembered that the autumn clothes he took off during the meal were still on the bed in the dormitory, he looked up, everyone was studying silently, the bell for class had not yet sounded, he stood up, walked out of the classroom, and ran towards the dormitory, when he ran to the door of the dormitory, the door was not locked, Mu Zhen didn't think about it, and rushed in.

"Who?" said a deep voice from the upper bed in the darkness.

"I'll get the clothes. Mu Zhen replied.

"Surprise me!" said a haste in the voice.

Mu Zhen settled down, looked at the place where the sound came from, there was a black shadow lying on the bed, that black shadow Mu Zhen was no stranger, that was when he first came here to take the third year of junior high school, the one sitting behind him was called "Little Monkey Three" by the old cousin Yang Lei Shi Yuanqing, originally this Shi Yuanqing was not assigned to the same class as Mu Zhen, but Shi Yuanqing's good classmate Yu Deshui and Mu Zhen were in the same class, because the relationship between the two was extraordinary, Shi Yuanqing followed Yu Deshui to eat and live in the dormitory of the first class, although Mu Zhen had an unpleasant encounter with Shi Yuanliang because of the exam, but Mu Zhen had Yang Lei's support, this Shi Yuanqing naturally did not dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, and he was usually much more polite to Mu Zhen.

At this time, Mu Zhen didn't think it was so strange to Shi Yuanqing lying on the head of Yu Deshui's bed, after all, the two of them were as good as one person, so he asked casually, "Why don't you go to class yet?"

"I, I, I'll go in a while, why are you back?" Shi Yuanqing replied a little reluctantly.

For Shi Yuanqing's answer, Mu Zhen still didn't think there was anything wrong, and naturally it wouldn't be much better for the person who was called "Little Monkey Three" by Yang Lei? He didn't go to class, and there would be nothing unusual, so he took his clothes and quickly left the dormitory.

What I didn't expect was that in such a short time, Mu Zhen bumped into a major event, which almost tore apart the friendship between Hu Guoqing and Mu Zhen.

At noon the next day, when everyone was eating, Yu Deshui shouted loudly at the door of the dormitory: "The wooden box on my bedside was pried in, and the fifty yuan in it was stolen, this is designated as the person in our dormitory who did it, no matter who did it, as long as you send me the money back, I won't report it to the teacher, if you don't send it back, don't blame me for being unkind!"

Yu Deshui's shouting at the door of the dormitory immediately stopped the noise of the whole dormitory chattering, everyone listened to Yu Deshui's shouting quietly, no one persuaded him, everyone knew in their hearts that offending such a "plague god" would definitely not have any good fruit to eat.

Mu Zhen immediately thought of last night, and that scene immediately appeared in his mind, Shi Yuanqing was lying on the head of Deshui's bed, and with the nervousness of his own intrusion, it shouldn't be something bad, but after all, he didn't grab his wrist, in this case, how can he talk nonsense? Mu Zhen stared at Shi Yuanqing standing behind Yu Deshui with straight eyes, when Shi Yuanqing's eyes were opposite to him, he immediately bypassed Mu Zhen's eyes and lowered his eyelids, Mu Zhen saw it very real at this moment, the best classmate lost his money, naturally the best classmate helped to find it, not only did he not show anything, but also saw the obscenity of his eyes, which immediately made Mu Zhen feel a kind of vigilance, could it be that he was doing something wrong?

Mu Zhen just felt that things were a little strange, so he didn't conclude that it was Shi Yuanqing who pried Yu Deshui's box and stole his money, after all, the relationship between the two of them was like brothers, how could they break off each other's friendship because of fifty yuan?

Things are far from being as simple as Mu Zhen imagined, returning to Hu Guoqing's house after school in the evening, Hu Guoqing asked Mu Zhen inexplicably: "Yu Deshui's money was stolen today, who should you know?"

Mu Zhen said with a puzzled face: "Why do you say that? How would I know?"

"Some of the things that the head teacher, Mr. Zhang, asked me in the evening, let me guess!" Hu Guoqing stared at Mu Zhen's face and explained.

"What did he ask you?" Mu Zhen was even more confused by the second monk. I happened to meet Shi Yuanqing lying at the head of Yu Deshui's bed, but I can't directly conclude that he stole money, it was my own chance to encounter this scene, except for Shi Yuanqing and himself, how can there be no third person who knows, now Mr. Zhang asked Hu Guoqing to conclude that he knew, could Mr. Zhang have a third eye and can see through unknown things?

"When he asked me, I was very suspicious at first, but then I understood, that is, someone said that you took Yu Deshui's money!" As soon as Hu Guoqing's words fell, Mu Zhen's head "buzzed", and he felt that his head was like a blown ball, suddenly swelling, like a grinding disc pressed on his neck, staring at Hu Guoqing in a daze, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

"You, are you okay!" Hu Guoqing looked at Mu Zhen's appearance and asked uneasily.

"This 'little deflated three' is really too deceitful!" Mu Zhen opened his mouth and scolded.

Hu Guoqing looked at Mu Zhen's angry appearance, immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a soothing tone: "What's wrong with you, I just repeated what Teacher Zhang meant, why are you so angry?"

Mu Zhen immediately told everything he saw when he returned to the dormitory last night, and Hu Guoqing immediately concluded that Shi Yuanqing must be an inner ghost, and if he didn't find out this inner ghost, he would inevitably harm his friends in front of him.

"I think so too, but there is no conclusive evidence, we can't just ruin a person like this, even if he is hateful, but before we figure it out, we still have to endure it!" Mu Zhen didn't want to guess so arbitrarily, so he said such a sentence.

"Isn't what you see evidence, and now that he can destroy you to protect himself, can't we find out the inner ghost with confidence?" Hu Guoqing said angrily.

"I'm not afraid of shadows, what am I afraid of, I'm just afraid of getting the wrong person, even if he is a 'little deflated three' again, we can't pour on his head like this, right?" Mu Zhen still considered it from the perspective of preserving Shi Yuanliang's reputation.

"Then we have to find out, we can't let the inner ghost get away with it like this!" Hu Guoqing was still resentful.

"Let's observe it again and see how he reacts, the fox's tail will eventually be revealed!" Mu Zhen said with some hesitation.

"You don't have to worry about this matter, I'll settle it for you!" Hu Guoqing was obviously enraged, like a lion ready to fight, panting and crossing his waist there.

"Now I persuade you to dissipate your anger, it's better for us to have more than one thing, before Teacher Zhang doesn't look for me, don't talk about this matter first!" Mu Zhen still didn't want to offend Shi Yuanqing again.

"Why are you such a, if you do this again, our friends won't do it!" Hu Guoqing said categorically.

When Mu Zhen heard Hu Guoqing say this, he stopped talking, he knew that he couldn't persuade him now, if he continued to persuade him, he really wouldn't even be able to be a friend, and he looked at Hu Guoqing who was angry in front of him in a daze, and didn't know what to say.
