14. Chapter XIV
Wu Jin's eyes never left Qiao Zhengqi, from the moment he appeared.
It can't be said to be strange, Yuan Lu fell into his arms so horizontally, Qiao Zhengqi's face was gloomy, but there was an indescribable darkness in his eyes.
Wu Jin took out his mobile phone and quickly sent a WeChat message to Lin Mu: Have you arrived?
Lin Mu quickly replied to the message: On the way, immediately.
Wu Jin frowned, wanting to give Lin Mu a breath Yuan Lu had already been picked up, but Qiao Zhengqi turned his gaze to him, he looked at him and said calmly: "Lu Lu has caused you trouble tonight, and I will settle the account at her table when I go downstairs and treat it as a faux pas to make amends to everyone." ”
Qiao Zhengqi glanced at the dozen or so beer bottles on Yuan Lu's table, more than a dozen bottles were piled on the table in front of her table, and the spilled wine made a mess of the main dishes.
Someone whispered at the bottom: "This is Yuan Lu's boyfriend?" ”
Only Wu Jin was the only one present who knew that Qiao Zhengqi was Yuan Lu's nominal brother, but the current situation was so strange that he had to sink his mind to ponder Qiao Zhengqi.
The corners of Wu Jin's lips hooked up a meaningful smile, looked back at Qiao Zhengqi, and said, "Then thank Qiao Dashao for the female classmates at that table." ”
His provocative Qiao Dashao was calling for his brother. Yuan Lu is the woman Lin Mu has a crush on, why did he transfer from New York to China Wu Jin always has a shadow in his heart, and there is a shadow of Yuan Lu in this doubt.
It is said that no matter how a woman a man likes changes, when he looks back at it, he can always find that it is actually a routine. The women around Lin Mu changed so many back and forth, Wu Jin looked at each one and always had a sense of déjà vu, until Lin Mu began to work in the New York Stock Exchange last year and began to ask him about Yuan Lu intentionally or unintentionally, Wu Jin realized that Lin Mu's "Qing" was really Yuan Lu.
It was also at that time that Wu Jin really believed a rumor about the reason for Lin Mu's transfer in the third year of junior high school, which he originally regarded as a joke.
Qiao Zhengqi's face did not change, and his expression was always bland, which made people unable to understand his joy and anger.
Qiao Zhengqi went downstairs with Yuan Lu in his arms, Wu Jin poured himself a glass of wine and poured it, and spit out the wine after taking a sip: ", this person is really evil." ”
"That person is Qiao Zhengqi?" Girls are always well-informed about gossip, and from the moment Dayuan Lu was adopted by the Qiao family, how many pairs of eyes were staring at the word "Joe".
"No wonder, why is it so familiar, didn't we report it in the news in junior high school? China's first teenager who was only 18 years old was admitted to MIT for a master's degree and a doctorate, and the reports on TV, newspapers, and radio, were carpet bombed. ”
"I seem to be a little impressed when you say that, almost ten years ago, right?"
"Hehe, I used to think it was a god, but now when I see it, I feel that it is also a living flesh and blood person. Seeing that he is not bad to Yuan Lu, I really envy Yuan Lu for having such an older brother. ”
"That's not her own brother."
“……”
Wu Jin was very impatient with the miscellaneous tongues in the woman's pile, got up from the wine table, walked outside and called Lin Mu: "Have you arrived?" ”
"Just parked the car, at the entrance of the hall, I'll be there soon."
Wu Jin sighed: "The original heron was picked up. ”
“…… I know. ”
"Huh?"
"I see it."
Wu Jin was stunned for a moment and bumped into it at the door?
Lin Mu hung up the phone, and Wu Jin stared at the hang-up interface on the phone screen for a while.
It didn't take long for Lin Mu to come up, and everyone surrounded him to ask him to punish him for drinking, Wu Jin blocked and said: "People come by car, this wine will be saved, and besides, people will work overtime on Saturdays, so they can only take a day off on weekends tomorrow, if they pour people down, they will be in trouble all day." ”
"The old classmates are not interesting enough, and it is not difficult to find a substitute driver, at least there has to be some meaning."
Wu Jinniu's temper came up and wanted to block the wine, but Lin Mu pushed his hand away and took a big sip of the wine glass.
Wu Jin was silent, and he could see that Lin Mu, who was downstairs just now, must have been unhappy.
"Drink less, I have serious things to tell you." Wu Jin picked up the wine glass in his hand, turned his head and said to the others: "Lin Mu and I are going to ask for a few KTV boxes, and we are not allowed to go back tonight!" ”
Saying that, he pushed Lin Muzhi out of the door with his eyes, and the two found a secluded corner to stay.
Wu Jin lit a cigarette, glanced at Lin Mu, and asked, "Is your transfer really related to Yuan Lu?" He knew it, but he never pierced the layer of paper with Lin Mu, Lin Mu didn't want to say, so he didn't ask.
Lin Mu's eyes were calm: "Even if it is, it's not all." ”
"Zhu Mao, who you beat back then, said something to me before, I always ignored him as if he was crazy, but now I have to become convinced. Lin Mu, did you really almost kill someone for the sake of Yuan Lu's dirt bag? Wu Jin glared, the original heron in junior high school, how heavy the taste, he really didn't believe that his brother's vision was so clumsy, although the current original heron is not what it used to be, but then others kept saying that his brother liked the original heron, Wu Jin simply felt that this was a insult to his brother's personality.
Lin Mu glanced at him: "Otherwise, why do you think I hit someone?" ”
"Damn, Lin Mu, you can fucking do, then you'll be fucking discerning, when the pearl of Yuan Lu was covered with dust, there was still such a "Lin Bian He" as you, I was stupid for so many years, and when I saw Zhu Mao's kid, I called people stupid hats, I was a big X, and I was a stupid bird if I dared to love me. ”
Lin Mu: "If you can't grab a rebound while playing a ball, you're chattering crookedly in my ear like a girl, this kind of person doesn't clean up." ”
Wu Jin pouted, what is the lack of cleanup? They all beat people to the point that they lost five teeth, bleed internally, and almost didn't save their eyes, and their parents made a fuss in the school, so they almost didn't splash dog blood at the school gate.
At that time, Lin Mu's father was still the mayor of a town-level city, and he was just about to be promoted to City C when Lin Mu had such a thing, as far as Wu Jin knew, Lin Mu was almost lost half of his life by his father with a stick and cane, and then his father personally went to someone's house to make amends, and took more than 100,000 yuan in cash and a key high school place to settle privately.
Lin Mu rarely gets angry, and the most ridiculous thing in this life is probably the third year of junior high school.
The boys at that meeting were somewhat owed, and Zhu Mao was a typical example of a debtor. The ball skills couldn't overpower Lin Mu, and the girls on the side were watching from the side, he felt a little unbearable, so he privately stimulated Lin Mu with words on the court, saying that Lin Mu likes Yuan Lu, a disgusting bun, Yuan Lu In addition to studying better, Yuan Lu has a withdrawn and cold personality, and usually doesn't care about people and pretends to be tall, not to mention that boys stay away, even girls will retreat when they see it.
Although Lin Mu usually doesn't approve of Yuan Lu's character, at least Yuan Lu is his tablemate, and he is also a girl, what kind of ability does a man have to insult a woman with such vicious words? Lin Mu hit Zhu Mao hard when he grabbed the rebound, Zhu Mao was knocked down, his knees wiped the ground, and he immediately turned red, and after catching a sneer at the corner of Lin Mu's mouth, he looked for Lin Mu like a crazy cow.
The two of them scuffled wildly on the court, and the people on the side went up to pull a frame and hung a lottery, and no one dared to go up to persuade the fight, Zhu Mao was beaten by Lin Mu and was about to die, or the girl on the side reacted and called the teacher and called the ambulance.
In fact, Lin Mu didn't understand why he beat people like this with a brain fever at that time, but he didn't regret this matter until now, after all, there are always such people in this world who don't know how to live or die.
"When did you start liking her?"
"I don't know, maybe I've never liked it, maybe I've always liked it. But I know she's always been somewhere in her heart. What Lin Mu said was also confused by himself.
The original heron in junior high school is really unlikable, and it is even difficult for people to have a good impression. Yuan Lu was transferred from the second semester of junior high school, her only relative in the countryside grandmother died, she was taken to live in the city by her parents, but the household registration fell on her uncle and aunt's house, her uncle and aunt's house belonged to the school district of a middle school, in order to go to a good junior high school, Yuan Lu's parents begged her uncle and aunt to put Yuan Lu's household registration in their name.
Before this, Yuan Lu had been living with his grandmother, and the basic education in the countryside was not very good, even Yuan Lu, who had excellent grades in the village, was ranked in a mess in the first monthly exam after transferring to another school.
There is a learning and mutual help pairing activity in the class, Yuan Lu was assigned to the same table with Lin Mu by the teacher, Yuan Lu soon discovered the difference between Lin Mu's learning and ordinary people, she began to silently approach a genius behind her back, trying to imitate his learning methods. But Yuan Lu slowly found that this method did not work, and the premise of the genius learning method is that your hardware conditions are also the configuration of genius.
In this process, Lin Mu discovered her small movements, although she was a little scoffing, but it didn't take long to be surprised by Yuan Lu's persistence and talent. Although she didn't continue to imitate him, she summed up a learning path that suited her, and quickly adapted to the learning rhythm of the first middle school, and in the final exam of the second semester of the second semester of junior high school, she jumped from the bottom all the way to the top 30 in the grade.
Before he knew it, he began to ask her some strange questions after class, such as Duchamp's paintings, Ionescu's "The Bald Singer", and even he couldn't realize why he talked to her about things that were not in the books, and he felt that as long as he said it, she would understand, although this tacit understanding was not seamless, but at least it was worthy of the word "tablemate".
"Yuan Lu is actually very smart, she has always felt that her talent is not high, she feels that her foundation is weak, and she is armed with a pair of humility brought from the soil of the countryside, it is about this humility that makes her unable to see through herself, and when she has no need to be humble anymore, her intelligence is enough to make her a pearl in the eyes of everyone."
"I don't understand the world of your scholars." Wu Jin shrugged his shoulders and swallowed his cigarette: "What are you going to do?" ”
Lin Mu asked, "What to do?" ”
Wu Jin was choked by the smoke and coughed: "What...... What to do, what did you come back to City C from New York for? You're still asking me now? ”
Lin Mu smiled: "Come back, come back, let it be." ”
Wu Jin glared: "If you weren't blind just downstairs, you should have seen that Qiao Zhengqi was not a troublesome opponent, see?" A paralyzed poker face, but that look can't fool me at all, your family is a sheep in the mouth of a tiger. ”
Lin Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling the scene when he had just watched Qiao Zhengqi walking in the snow with Yuan Lu in his arms from a distance downstairs, under the dim street lamp, he hugged her step by step, and protected her face tightly on his chest all the way in order not to let the snow hit her face.
"You're worried I'm going to lose?"
"No, I have confidence in you, but isn't there an old saying that the building near the water gets the moon first, our geographical location is congenitally insufficient, and the acquired hardware doesn't seem to be better than people, the full professor of MIT is only thirty years old, either he becomes a fine or an immortal, whether it is a fine or an immortal, it is not something that we mortals can do!"
"The Qiao family won't let this happen."
“…… But after all, people are not blood brothers who break bones and tendons. ”
"You think those guys with the surname Joe are vegetarians?"
Wu Jin seems to be right when he thinks about it, no matter which one is surnamed Qiao, there are thousands of relationships behind it, just like his old man, even if those things have in this life, they will never be able to take the table.
Wu Jin felt that Lin Mu never fought an uncertain battle, which was almost equivalent to the truth, but after thinking about it, Lin Mu actually said this, isn't it necessary to be Yuan Lu in this life? It's a terrible thought, and I'll only think about one woman for the rest of my life.
"When was it determined?"
"Huh?"
"Pretending to be something, ask you when you have to her."
The corners of Lin Mu's lips hooked up a smile: "When I was the first woman." ”
It's so dirty, when it was actually the first woman, Wu Jin smiled evilly. One is Qiao Zhengqi and one is Lin Mu, one is the nominal brother, and the other is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
"You beasts, you are."
