Volume I, Chapter 45

On Friday evening, a cloud of gloom shrouded the sky, the wind rose, the freezing rain was dripping, and pedestrians were hurrying away with their necks bowed, and occasionally a car roared to cut through the thick night.

Guo Xing tightened his clothes, added a piece of coal, and the fire in the furnace was chaotic, and the room temperature gradually rose.

The deep alleys changed the pace of the north wind and slick around. When someone pushed the door in, Guo Xing was pouting his ass and digging out the ashes.

"Brother Xing, come in to take shelter from the rain and freeze to death. The face of the visitor was full of apologies, rubbing his reddened hands, trying to warm himself on the stove, and when he touched it, he grinned hotly.

saw the person who came, it turned out to be Liu Xia's classmate Wu Zhen.

"Wu Zhen, where are you going?"

"Go home, it's raining on the road, pass by Brother Xing, look at the lights, come in to avoid the rain, you said it's almost winter, how can it rain, cold to death." ”

Wu Zhen stomped his feet as he spoke, not knowing whether to blame the cold weather or complain that the sky was abnormal.

Guo Xing looked at Wu Zhen, who was trembling, most of the light-colored sweatshirt was wet, and the black shallow flat leather shoes were covered with mud marks.

"I don't know how to wear more clothes in this weather, you young people can't understand it. ”

Guo Xing inadvertently revealed an adult mentality, blaming Wu Zhen as if he cared for his children.

Wu Zhen covered his mouth and smiled, "It's exactly the same as what my dad said, you are not a few years older than me, is it interesting to talk like this." ”

Guo Xing clasped his arms with both hands, squeezed his bloated coat out of shape, and stepped on a pair of cotton slippers under his feet, no matter how you look at it, it looks like Wu Zhen's father.

"I'm about the same as your dad, huh...... No...... It's not age, I'm talking about mentality. After speaking, Guo Xing spread his hands, and his style was wordless, and this outfit was not as good as forty.

Wu Zhen flashed his big eyes and said, "Brother Xing, with your dress, you are far from my father, but you have a fight with my grandfather." ”

"Okay, I'll be your Xingye in the future. ”

With the drizzle, the two were bored and joked with each other.

Guo Xing is very envious of this carefree age and heartless years, he now has a young body, but he can't change a vicissitudes of life.

The quarrel with Wu Zhen was just intentional, but Wu Zhen was naturally revealed.

"Classmate Wu Zhen, where do you live? Wait a while to stop and take a tricycle back, it's safer." Guo Xing changed the topic and became much more serious.

Wu Zhen looked at the window glass, the raindrops were messy, and there was no sign of stopping.

"Xingye, borrow PHS to make a call. Wu Zhen stretched out one hand and swayed in front of Guo Xing, the corners of his mouth raised, and his eyes were playful.

Guo Xing was amused by this innocent little girl, and said with a smile: "Your father is also a generation shorter when he sees me, haha!"

After speaking, he smiled and handed PHS to Wu Zhen.

Wu Zhen didn't call PHS when he caught it, thinking about Guo Xing's words, his eyes were rolling around, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a moment, Wu Zhen tilted his head and smiled: "I'll still call you Brother Xing, invisibly lowering my father's seniority, I'm afraid of being beaten." ”

Guo Xing smiled, not doubting him, "Call whom, call quickly." ”

Wu Zhen skillfully pressed the number.

“…… Dad, I can't go back when it rains, so I'll live in the dormitory tonight and go back early tomorrow morning...... Well...... It's okay...... Accompanied by classmates...... Forehead...... I borrowed a phone from a shop...... Well...... Well...... Got it, bye-bye. ”

Hanging up the phone, Guo Xing's eyes widened, looking at the fourteen-year-old girl in front of him, I don't know how to say, is this planning to stay overnight?

When he was in high school, he had never seen such a bold man, isn't this a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? Phew, he is not a tiger.

"Wu Zhen, you are pitch black, how can you go back to the dormitory?" Guo Xing asked deliberately.

Wu Zhen said innocently: "Don't go back to the dormitory, I'll sleep on the sofa tonight, don't grab the bed with you, don't worry." ”

"Uh...... This...... Don't you think of yourself as an outsider? ”

"We are alumni, so there are no outsiders. ”

“……”

The coal in the furnace had been overheated, Guo Xing turned off the lights with confidence, and walked on the sofa with his clothes. Wu Zhen didn't change his clothes, he put on his body and dried it, and got into the quilt under Guo Xing's persuasion.

A sleepless night without words, at six o'clock in the morning, before dawn, Guo Xing tightened his coat and got up to add to the fire, the winter in the north came early, and there was already a chill at the end of September.

Wu Zhen was still asleep on the bed, his long eyelashes covering his eyelids, and the tip of his reddish nose was a little playful.

Guo Xing secretly wondered, what kind of mentality can sleep peacefully like this? Is it because he doesn't seem evil, or is the society very harmonious?

I remember back then, it was also high school, it was such an environment, there were such girls, and the story was so plain.

After being reborn, he is no longer the same person, but the result is still the same.

Squatting by the stove to bake the fire, the rustling of the rain outside has never stopped, the rain is not heavy, and the sky is full of sorrow.

"Brother Xing, it's really early. Wu Zhen muttered, turned over and fell asleep again, as if he had never woken up.

The warmth in the room rose, Guo Xing felt sleepy, lay on the sofa, and fell into a deep sleep for a while......

Knock knock!

The knock on the door woke Guo Xing up, and when he opened his eyes, it was already dawn, and the landlord squinted his eyes and looked in through the curtain, Guo Xing opened the door and let the sneaky landlord in.

"Xiao Guo, disturb your sleep. After speaking, he looked at the sleeping Wu Zhen, and then at the tired Guo Xing, revealing an uncle-like understanding.

Guo Xing didn't explain, what he didn't understand was that Wu Zhen was sleeping so deeply, and he didn't know that the wolf came in.

"Didn't bother, just woke up. ”

The landlord was a little embarrassed and said, "Look, it's the end of the month, isn't it ......?"

Guo Xing hurriedly said: "Oh, wait a minute, I'll rent it to you next month." After speaking, Guo Xing took out two hundred yuan and handed it to the landlord.

"Hmm...... Xiao Guo, that's the case, let's take care of the electricity and water bills of the rental house, you see this...... This...... It's also my fault that I didn't make it clear to you at the time. The landlord squirmed.

Guo Xing looked at the four walls of the rental house, did not find a water meter or electricity meter, and said puzzledly: "How should I pay for it?"

"The monthly water bill is five yuan per person, and the electricity bill is five yuan per room. When the landlord spoke, he didn't forget to look at Wu Zhen who was sleeping on the bed.

it! Sleep for one night, and pay a five-yuan water bill!

Guo Xing took out another fifteen yuan and handed it to the landlord. The landlord said goodbye happily, turned to leave, and when he closed the door, he didn't forget to close the curtains...... Same as yourself.

"Hey, Wu Zhen, you won't wake up when the sky falls?" Guo Xing said loudly, almost pushing his hand to wake up.

Wu Zhen rubbed his eyes and said, "Brother Xing, the matter of five yuan, as for getting angry." ”

"I'm ......! I woke up early? Then why don't you speak? Explain to the landlord, you can save me five yuan, and the money for two bowls of noodles is gone." Guo Xing rubbed his fingers and said.

Wu Zhen leaned on the head of the bed and said with a smile: "I'll treat you to breakfast later, okay." ”

Guo Xing said that he still had money to invite people to dinner on the weekend, either the wealthy people were not willing to spend it for a week, and he had no money on Thursday back then.
