"You're still playing games, are you?" Chen Lou looked at the person opposite, somewhat surprised: "Aren't the days of graduate students quite busy?" ”

Two days ago, he met his fellow countryman and friend, classmate Lu Zhecheng, in the city. Chen Lou didn't dare to recognize it at first, but later the other party greeted him first, and after another explanation, he realized that this person flew over from thousands of miles away to face him.

Of course, what is even more surprising is that the base is red hair.

Lu Zhe is very good as an adult, and he is still Chen Lou's neighbor, but when he was a child, he was kicked out of the first grade by his parents who wanted his son Jackie Chan before he went to kindergarten, so although he is the same age as Chen Lou, he has always been one level higher than Chen Lou.

The big children take the grade seriously, and they always feel that the children in the small grades are all children, and there is a generation gap. In the end, the two of them played together again when they were in high school, Chen Lou borrowed a Taiwanese version of "Zhu Xian" from his classmates, the two of them watched a paragraph in this class, and I watched a paragraph in the next class, running back and forth to borrow and borrow, so they broke through the barrier of the grade and became good friends again.

Later, Lu Zhecheng graduated a year early, stayed in the provincial university of the province, and then stayed in the school for the postgraduate examination, and Chen Lou was admitted to the C city, and the two met when they returned to their hometown for the Chinese New Year to eat and play cards together.

In fact, in the previous life, the two of them did not have much intersection, Chen Lou returned to his hometown few times, and the last contact with Lu Zhecheng was the death of his grandmother. When Chen Lou got the news, it was very late, and many things were thanks to Lu Zhecheng, a friend, who did a lot of things for him.

Now I didn't expect to meet him on the road, Chen Lou asked east and west, happy from the bottom of his heart.

"I don't always play," Lu Zhecheng also said with a smile: "Isn't this a holiday, just play and relax occasionally." Oh, you're not coming home this year? ”

"I'm not going back, I'm taking advantage of the holidays to prepare for the graduate school entrance examination." Chen Lou sighed when he said this, raised his eyes and asked, "How was your English when you were admitted to graduate school last year?" I've only been watching it for less than two months now, and I'm a little tired. The brain is still completely clouded. ”

"I got 68 in English," Lu Zhecheng said, "This is beyond expectations, but I didn't do well in the political test." Just crossed the line. ”

Chen Lou's eyes widened when he heard the scores, he was not often in school, although the classmates around him also had graduate school entrance examinations, but most of them signed up in September, and now they have finished the exam. It's the first time I've come face-to-face with a top student.

English has always been his weakness, and now although he has been waiting for the two policy schools to be postponed for a year, he has enough time to read textbooks and handouts, and he can eat some of the content, but English still has a headache. Words have to be memorized every day, and if you don't memorize them for a day, it's like running out of medicine.

Lu Zhecheng was also happy, summed up the lessons he had learned when he took the English test that year, and told Chen Lou a few particularly useful books that still had an impression, and finally saw that Chen Lou was still busy lowering his head to record on his mobile phone, and smiled and said, "You can really endure hardships." ”

Chen Lou raised his eyes to look at him, smiled and didn't speak.

Lu Zhecheng said to him again: "You see that you were all hung up in high school, there is no one in the whole school that you can toss and play, scum games and group fights, hooking up with little girls across grades, wives and concubines are a group of brothers, and your grades are up and down, I don't know how many times I broke my heart with little leather shoes." ”

They all have the habit of giving the teacher a nickname, the little leather shoes are Chen Lou's homeroom teacher, and the most despised thing at that time is Chen Lou, and he is so blind when he lights Chen Lou's head every day and says that good material is good.

Chen Lou's impression of this teacher is still not good, seeing that the other party has a posture to continue to sigh, he said with a smile, "Don't smear me, when did I hook up with a little girl, I haven't even touched the little girl's hand." ”

Seeing Lu Zhecheng raising his eyebrows and smiling, he was a little speechless, and asked, "You came here to see netizens this time?" ”

"Yes," Lu Zhecheng said: "A well-operated acacia, but I didn't expect it to be a non-mainstream little kid." ”

-

"Oh, did you hear me, you little brat!" Guan Yu tilted his ears, and when he heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows, leaned on his stomach and poked the red hair: "And this person ...... It's not high. ”

"What's wrong with not being tall?" Hongmao also leaned on his stomach and retorted disappreciatively: "The height is not high, and the person is 1.7 meters, which is enough to be average." ”

"Yes, average," Guan Yu was also surprised when he saw the person's face, feeling a bit like a certain actor surnamed Wu, but when he looked down at the person's five or five bodies, he showed disdain: "I didn't come out if I knew it was like this, and I thought it was three heads and six arms." ”

He always muttered, the red hair was originally excited to pull him to see his handsome netizens, but now he is always uncomfortable being picked, and he couldn't help but choke back: "What's wrong with this?" Besides, it has nothing to do with you even if you have three heads and six arms, and it should be Lu Hening who is in a hurry, and you are not right. ”

"......" Guan Yu opened his mouth, he was stunned for a moment, and then he said angrily: "Give me the bag!" ”

"Give it, give it!" Hongmao threw the crossbody bag to him, "You don't have to put me there in the future, Brother Chen is optimistic that the house is going to move away, and when the time comes, you let me find him again, I can't find it." ”

"Move out?" Guan Yu asked, "Why did you move away?" ”

"How do I know? He said he would either move or I would move, but if he left, I would have to give him the rest of the rent and deposit. ”

"Then you move," Guan Yu shouted, and when he saw someone looking over, he hurriedly lowered his body and whispered: "He doesn't have much money on him, how can it be so suitable for you to let him go out to find a house?" Elsewhere, there were at least half more of them than he was now. ”

When the old house was originally rented out, it was divided into six rooms, and it was a configuration of nothing, so the rent allocated to a single room was very cheap.

Now Guan Yu has purchased furniture and household appliances by himself, which is very convenient in all aspects, and he can save half of the money by living here compared to other places. What's more, Chen Lou has always wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination, Guan Yu didn't say anything else, but he also knew that it was best for him to have a relatively quiet environment. Chen Lou doesn't necessarily understand the other party's temperament when he goes out to share a house with others, and it costs too much if he rents a set by himself.

After all, there is still a whole year between now and his exam.

Hongmao was a little aggrieved and muttered, "I didn't drive him away." He took the initiative to say that he wanted to leave, and he looked at the room in advance......"

“…… He was embarrassed, how could he let you go after buying so much furniture? Guan Yu sighed, stretched out his hand and pushed it on his head and said, "I don't care, you have to find a way, and you can only go." And Chen Lou is an anxious person, no matter what reason you find in the past two days, you have to get this matter done. ”

Guan Yu thought about it for a while, and said ruthlessly: "If you want to do it, I will give you a big medicine." ”

He has to save money now, and when he looked at his small bag, he couldn't help but feel a little painful.

“…… Rich," the red fur didn't know what to say, and gave a thumbs up, "willful." ”

Guan Yu was sneaked out, and he had to go back after staying for a while. When he was about to leave, he couldn't help but look back at the ghost king, and he suddenly felt refreshed.

Lu Zhecheng had already seen him and asked Chen Lou: "Do you know that person?" ”

Chen Lou was stunned for a moment, "Which one?" He turned around and just saw the back of Guan Yu sneaking out of the door, and the little windbreaker of the bag floated a little.

"I don't know," Chen Lou snorted in disgust, and said, "How many days have you been playing here?" Do you want me to take you around? ”

"There are still three or four days," Lu Zhecheng said, "not necessarily." ”

He said not necessarily, Chen Lou still made a strategy after going back to see where it would be more distinctive if outsiders came over. Many scenic spots in later generations have not been planned yet, and Chen Lou has not gone out much since he rushed to two small parks with good scenery, but when he arrived at the place, he found that there were still broken walls and tiles.

Chen Lou remembered a few places, made a simple day trip plan, and talked to Lu Zhecheng before going to bed, who knew that as soon as he woke up the next day, the latter suddenly set the itinerary.

"I'll leave today," Mr. Lu said, "and there's something going on." ”

Chen Lou was surprised, but he couldn't ask around, so he could only ask him, "Is there anything I can help with?" ”

“…… Yes," who knew that Lu Zhecheng coughed and said, "Wei Geng came with me, he said he wanted you to do me a favor." ”

Chen Lou reacted for a while and didn't understand who Wei Geng was, until it was quiet for a while, and a hoarse voice came: "Brother...... Brother Chen......"

Chen Lou: "......" red hair? Usually the red hair is used to coming and going, but this voice ......

The red hair hissed, then took a sip from Lu Zhecheng's hand, and then continued to say to Chen Lou in a dumb voice: "I will ...... in the future Don't stop there. ”

Chen Lou listened to all kinds of strange voices over there, and a strange guess appeared in his heart, but when he thought about it, he felt a little unbelievable. Now that I heard Hongmao say this, I was embarrassed to ask why. I'm afraid that if I don't think about it, I won't be able to get off the stage over there.

Red Fur continued: "Can I leave the things in my house for the time being...... When I get back, I'll move out. ”

"Oh......" Chen Lou paused, and couldn't help asking, "Where are you going?" ”

"He followed me to a winter camp," Lu Zhecheng took it over and said again, and said seriously: "Put the things in his house first, and I will send you the books of Ye Yongzhen and Zhang Mansheng when I go back, so don't buy these books yet." By the way," he thought for a moment and said, "I'm going home for the New Year, do you want to bring something back?" ”

Chen Lou was still a little slow to react, and only came back to his senses when he heard the last sentence: "Yes, yes, when will you fly?" I'll send it to you. ”

Lu Zhecheng's itinerary was decided in a hurry, Chen Lou went to the mall non-stop to buy a few health products, and packed a few bags of black sesame powder, walnut powder and soybean milk powder for the middle-aged and elderly, and finally hurriedly went to the third floor to buy a new set of clothes for his grandmother.

After many years of difficulty in choosing, Chen Lou was in a hurry, he didn't know how to choose, he took a few of everything, and when he chose clothes, he picked the most expensive and warmest in the store. After rushing all the way to the airport, I rushed to the airport, and I was not late.

Lu Zhecheng was waiting for him in the airport hall, and the two of them went to the packing place to make a box and check it in, Chen Lou was a little embarrassed, but he was really happy in his heart.

"You can go home and have a look when you have time," Lu Zhecheng said with a smile when he looked at him, "Avoid the Spring Festival, find a small holiday in March and April, and go to the provincial university to find me after getting off the train or plane, and I will ask my father to pull us back together." ”

"Okay, I'll have to trouble you then," Chen Lou pursed his lips and smiled, rubbed his hands, and took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it over: "Give this to my grandmother, I'm afraid that Wang Gufen won't use the money for her, and everything in it has been exchanged for change, and there are any denominations, so she is reluctant to spend it." ”

"Okay," Lu Zhecheng smiled, "I'll pay New Year's greetings to our grandma first when I go back, you take care of yourself here, and call me if you have something." ”

Chen Lou nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Lu Zhecheng said again: "Don't have too much pressure to take the postgraduate entrance examination, believe in yourself, and when there are two months before the exam, I will introduce you to an English crash class, the questions are quite accurate, don't worry." ”

"Okay," Chen Lou paused when he heard the announcement from the airport, and said again: "Okay." ”

I didn't think much when we met, but now that we are leaving, that faint brotherhood and fellow countrymen have just come up, and the people who are blocked layer by layer are uncomfortable.

In the previous life, after Chen Lou and Guan Yu were together, they basically blocked the contact with other acquaintances. The relationship between the two of them was good when they were in college, and their classmates and friends were still simple, at most they thought they were good brothers who fell in love. However, once people enter the society, the information is complex, the contact is wide, and they will inevitably have suspicion after getting along for a long time.

Chen Lou paid great attention to this aspect, and almost did not go to Guan Yu's company, and occasionally met Guan Yu and his colleagues on the road, and he also tried to avoid it in advance. For fear that they would have some intimate little movements and small eyes, I didn't notice it, but I left a handle for others. In addition, he rarely contacted his former classmates and friends, he didn't know how to answer when faced with the other party's kind inquiries, he didn't want to tell lies, but he didn't have the courage to tell the truth. It was because in his most painful days, there was not even a person to speak.

Chen Lou knew in his heart that he was going to extremes during that time.

To put it bluntly, these may not even have much to do with Guan Yu, not Guan Yu, but also Zhao Yu, Qian Yu, Sun Yu, Li Yu, as long as you are too focused on another person in your relationship, it is easy to love deeply, climb high, fall hard, and be seriously injured. However, he isolated himself too early, and when he looked back when he came to a desperate situation, he suddenly found that he had already become a soldier, but he was isolated.

When Lu Zhecheng finally passed through the security check, Chen Lou saw Hongmao. Fortunately, the latter looked very good, and suddenly ran back when he was queuing at the security checkpoint and gave him a hug.

"Brother, I'm going to see our grandma too," Hongmao smiled happily, scratched his head and said, "That house, in fact, Brother Guan asked me to rent it...... This time I changed places at his request, of course, don't get me wrong, I didn't plan to live outside...... I just want to say this, although Brother Guan is not a good person, but don't think too badly...... He knows that you are annoying him, Brother Guan is going on a business trip these days, and he hasn't come out to make waves, he just doesn't want to dislike you. ”

Chen Lou didn't know what to say for a while, and finally smiled and said, "Thank you." ”

The red hair grinned: "Thank you, don't say anything else, we're all fine." ”

Chen Lou waited until the people were gone, and then slowly came back to his senses, lowered his head and smiled. When he came, he took a taxi in a hurry, and when he went back, he relaxed and went to buy a ticket to take the airport bus.

At this time, the airport in City C has not yet been expanded, and there are not many high-rise buildings on both sides of the road, and there are people in the bus, some are sitting and resting with their eyes closed, some are happily discussing the journey with their companions, and some are silently swiping their mobile phones, not knowing what they are busy with.

Chen Lou leaned on the back of the plastic seat of the bus, turned his head to look outside, he couldn't see the sunset in his direction, he could only see the light pressing down little by little, the smoke in the distance, the lights in the near distance, one by one, and then as the speed of the car accelerated, they disappeared into the gradually dense night.

=

The winter in City C is not comfortable, at least for Chen Lou, even if he has lived in this city for many years, it is still a little unbearable to bear the humidity here. After the red hair left, he was left alone at home, Chen Lou got up every day to see the weather outside, as long as it wasn't early in the morning, he wouldn't even go out.

After getting up in the morning, it was a routine to memorize words, his previous memorization method was a little boring, Lu Zhecheng gave him a trick, and told him how to sieve down layer by layer, and the efficiency did improve a lot after a few days of trying.

It's just that eating is a problem, Chen Lou is a bit of a procrastinator, if he does the question until noon, and misses 12 o'clock, the more he drags out and doesn't want to eat. Sometimes I order takeout at night when I'm hungry, and sometimes I just eat some bread when I'm not particularly hungry.

His own days were dark, and he covered his head for many days, and when he woke up, he read a book and slept when he was sleepy, during which Lu Hening came to look for him twice, and he couldn't help but be a little worried about his state.

"You'd better find someone to come and accompany you," Lu Hening said, "People don't want to eat when they're alone, and it's better to have a companion." ”

"I know," Chen Lou sighed, "It means that there are more pigs to grab food!" ”

“…… You have a lot of crooked reasoning," Lu Hening looked at him helplessly: "Otherwise, I will come over regularly to check in the future, no matter what else, as long as there are fewer things in the kitchen." ”

The first time he came, he still brought a bottle of red wine, and then the second time he came, he went straight to the soy sauce, vinegar and chicken essence, as well as some vegetables and meat.

Chen Lou was really afraid that he would come every day, so he stopped him with a sigh: "Don't, I'm comfortable here, besides, if it's not appropriate for you to come, what if it's inconvenient for me?" ”

"What's inconvenient?" Lu Hening looked at him suspiciously: "Girlfriend or boyfriend?" ”

Chen Lou didn't know how to answer appropriately, so he snorted. Lu Hening finally stopped talking and sighed.

At the end of the year, their catering industry was busy, all kinds of banquets, friends dinner, and their restaurant launched a set meal for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, which began to be reserved in advance. Lu Hening, a foreman on the second floor, can't take care of it now, sometimes passing dishes, sometimes withdrawing from the stage, and sometimes going to the back kitchen to start.

However, when he came to Chen Lou in this way, he also restrained a little, except for often not washing his hair or bathing for a few days, he could barely eat at a fixed time.

When Wu Jiajia called again, it was already Chinese New Year's Eve, and Chen Lou thought that many shops would not be open during the New Year, so he went to purchase a circle of reserve grain, from bread instant noodles to pickles and ham, but the single style was huge enough. Most of the shops on the road have already closed, and the facades are pasted with couplets and lanterns, which looks joyful.

Chen Lou was carrying a lot of things, and he didn't hear the mobile phone in his pocket, and when he got home and put down his things, he found that Wu Jiajia had made three missed calls.

It's urgent to see that way.

Chen Lou was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly dialed over. The mobile phone was connected almost in a second, and Wu Jiajia just fed it, and it was replaced by Cen Zheng talking.

"Chen Lou, are you in City C?"

Chen Lou listened to his eager voice and hurriedly said, "I'm here." ”

"Then can you help me find Guan Yu?" Cen Zheng said: "Guan Yu is gone. ”
