Chapter 16: The Price of Growth

Ye Zhiqiu was dressed in black, holding an umbrella, and moving forward in the rain.

At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the rain even overflowed the surface of Ye Zhiqiu's black leather boots.

Fortunately, Qingxin Garden is opposite Shanghua School, and you can see it as soon as you leave the school gate.

Qingxinyuan is a large-scale entertainment and dining venue integrating catering, entertainment, coffee and tea. Because of the light and elegant decoration and the affordable price, it is very popular with students from surrounding schools. Du Xingcheng chose to feast in Qingxin Garden, but it was also generous and moderate.

Entering Qingxin Garden, before Ye Zhiqiu could find someone, he saw a person in the opposite aisle.

"Ye Zhiqiu, you're here, everyone has arrived, so I'm leaving you alone, you come with me......"

There are many people in Shanghua School who know Ye Zhiqiu, and there are also many people who have really seen Ye Zhiqiu, so Ye Zhiqiu doesn't feel strange about this.

"Lotus Pavilion." Ye Zhiqiu was stunned, this name made him feel awkward.

When I entered the Lotus Pavilion, I saw that it was smoky and full of wine, which made Ye Zhiqiu even more uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

The two round tables in the room were occupied by more than a dozen people.

As Ye Zhiqiu entered, he saw a person with long hair and a shawl standing up at the back table, looking feminine and handsome.

"Ye Zhiqiu, you're finally here, come here and sit."

"This is Du Xingcheng." Ye Zhiqiu said secretly.

"Seniors, please, Zhiqiu doesn't dare not come." Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile, but when his eyes swept over the few people on the table, his face changed, and he actually saw Xiao Huanting here.

"How could she be here!" Ye Zhiqiu guessed in his heart, and a lot of ideas came up in an instant.

"Come, let me introduce you, Liu Feiling, you have already met, I won't say more, as for them, they are all my friends and buddies of Du Xingcheng, all of them are talented and ambitious......

"In short, after everyone becomes friends, they will be able to support and take care of each other in the future......

Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "This is as it should be, and in the future, I still need all the seniors to take care of Zhiqiu......"

On the surface, Ye Zhiqiu can naturally have a good time, but whether he should make friends with these people or not, his heart is as bright as a mirror. At this time, thinking of the name of the Lotus Pavilion, Ye Zhiqiu also understood why there was such a big contrast in his heart just now.

Du Xingcheng pointed to the pale Xiao Huanting at this time and said: "Senior Sister Xiao, I won't introduce you, you are more familiar than me, this time Senior Sister Xiao can agree to be the heroine of my story, it really makes me happy, come on, sit down to eat first, let's talk while eating." ”

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and sat next to Du Xingcheng, and Xiao Huanting happened to be on the same side, if he didn't deliberately look at it, no one could see anyone.

"This Du Xingcheng is really a human spirit, not only is he talking nonsense with his eyes open, but he doesn't even have much change in his expression." Ye Zhiqiu admired it in his heart, and wanted to see so many people, although it was rumored that this guy's character was not very good, but at least on the surface, it could be said that it was not leaky, not like the mentality of a student.

At this time, Du Xingcheng said to the person next to him, and suddenly the person walked out, and after a while, one dish after another came up one after another, obviously ready for a long time.

Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "Zhiqiu's surname is urgent, if the senior has anything, tell me directly, otherwise I will be anxious and uncomfortable." ”

On the side, Liu Feiling frowned, and glanced at Ye Zhiqiu, the secret ghost believed that your surname was urgent, and he was obviously talking nonsense with his eyes open.

Although Ye Zhiqiu felt Liu Feiling's dissatisfaction, he didn't know what Liu Feiling thought in his heart, if he knew that Liu Feiling would also say nonsense with his eyes open, he didn't know what he would think in his heart.

Liu Feiling knew that it was because Ye Zhiqiu's indifference made her feel that Ye Zhiqiu was not the anxious surname he said, but this did not mean that Du Xingcheng also knew.

After listening to Ye Zhiqiu's words, Du Xingcheng glanced at Xiao Huanting beside him out of the corner of his eye, and his heart was suddenly very proud.

"I'm filming a campus love story, and I just need a classic campus song, and it just so happens that Zhiqiu's creative talent is also very outstanding in Shanghua, so I thought of you and was ready to invite you to a song ...... Zhiqiu"

Ye Zhiqiu was amused in his heart, if he could get a song by saying a few good words, he would be willing to do such a thing, not to mention that Ye Zhiqiu was now angry in his heart because of Xiao Huanting's unexpected existence, plus he had already had a prejudice against Du Xingcheng in his heart, and he couldn't wait to leave at this moment, and he would agree to Du Xingcheng's invitation there.

Feeling his immaturity, Ye Zhiqiu secretly took a breath and replied: "What talent do I have, it's just that I accidentally got a little inspiration and wrote a few songs." If I really want to deliberately create, I can't do it at all with my sparse level, let alone ......"

"The surname Ye, don't give you a shame, aren't you just a freshman, what is there to drag." A voice next to him interrupted Ye Zhiqiu's words, and at the same time, the Lotus Pavilion was instantly quiet, and the needle drop could be heard for a while.

Du Xingcheng frowned and shouted: "Liu Wen, what are you doing, are you talking like this, didn't Zhiqiu refuse." ”

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and stopped talking, he wanted to see what kind of drama Du Xingcheng could sing.

The next moment, Du Xingcheng suddenly smiled and said: "I have to admire Zhiqiu's creative talent, Xiao Xuemei just told me, saying that you have created five songs at once, and you are currently shooting music works, this is not something that ordinary people can do." ”

Although Ye Zhiqiu's face did not move, the irritability in his heart suddenly rose and became furious, and he looked at Xiao Huanting with a smile.

Xiao Huanting looked at Ye Zhiqiu with slightly trembling lips, her eyes were red, although her face was full of grievances, she couldn't open her mouth, and she didn't know how to explain it to Ye Zhiqiu.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at Xiao Huanting deeply, as if he had seen the depths of Xiao Huanting's soul at that glance.

In this way, Ye Zhiqiu looked at Xiao Huanting extremely cautiously and said: "If you don't study hard, don't take your Yangguan Avenue, why do you want to take the single-plank bridge, do you know that if you embark on this road, it means that it will be abandoned soon." ”

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Xiao Huanting, turned his head to look at Du Xingcheng and said: "Senior, I'm sorry, my song is only for those I agree with and those I like, and other than that, I will never give it to anyone and say goodbye." ”

Du Xingcheng's face twitched, and he looked gloomily at Ye Zhiqiu's departing back and said, "Senior Brother Ye, you have to think about it, Shanghua Academy is not as simple as you think, even if you have an easy journey now, you will still enter the society in the future." ”

Ye Zhiqiu's hand to open the door stopped suddenly, turned his head and stared at Du Xingcheng tightly, his plain and gentle spleen instantly became rigid and violent, and said in a cold tone: "You can use your methods to take a look." ”

The next moment, with a bang, Ye Zhiqiu left.

Du Xingcheng gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, unable to speak for a long time.

At this time, a figure beside him flashed quickly, and then the door was opened again, and Xiao Huanting chased out like the wind, leaving no words.

"Ye Zhiqiu, Xiao Huanting, you ......" Du Xingcheng was extremely angry.

Outside Qingxin Garden, in a dead corner, Ye Zhiqiu was holding an umbrella, as if he was waiting for something.

With the sound of hurried footsteps, a figure pushed open the glass door and rushed out quickly, but because the rain was too strong and the stone platform was too slippery, the runner fell to the ground because he could not restrain his feet.

With a bang, Xiao Huanting fell to the ground, half of her body was soaked, and she endured the pain and looked at the road ahead, when she saw that there was no Ye Zhiqiu on the road, Xiao Huanting burst into tears. Tears were mixed with rain, and Xiao Huanting was also wet with heavy rain, just like a chicken in soup.

Ye Zhiqiu's heart ached, and when Xiao Huanting fell, the depression and irritability in his heart disappeared instantly, but when he was about to step forward to help Xiao Huanting, Ye Zhiqiu stopped his steps, and instead looked at Xiao Huanting with a hard heart.

"On the road of growth, you and I will experience countless grievances, Wan Ting, you must persevere, don't give up your inner ideals......" In the heavy rain, Ye Zhiqiu said words that only he could hear.

However, when Xiao Huanting walked forward in despair, Ye Zhiqiu finally gave up her inner insistence and walked up with an umbrella.

The rain was left from her head, blocking Xiao Huanting's vision, at this time, although Xiao Huanting was calm and indifferent on the outside, her heart was like a dead silence, and she felt that everything was lost.

"I'm not what you think, please don't misunderstand me......," Xiao Huanting muttered to herself.

The gloomy sky was suddenly obscured by a black cloth, and the rain was suddenly isolated by the black cloth.

"I know, so I'm waiting for you." Ye Zhiqiu's gentle voice penetrated Xiao Huanting's ears.

Xiao Huanting turned her head in a daze, and then saw Ye Zhiqiu.

"Go back, you'll get sick." Ye Zhiqiu smiled.

Xiao Huanting nodded, and out of nowhere, a force rose from there, and she rushed forward and hugged Ye Zhiqiu, and cried silently the next moment.

"Cry, after crying, you will be stronger in the future." Ye Zhiqiu comforted.

"Hmm."

"Don't contact those people anymore, you won't get any good."

"Hmm."

In the wind and rain, the two walked towards the school under the same umbrella.

It's just that Ye Zhiqiu knows in his heart that this doesn't mean that Xiao Huanting will fall in love with him desperately. Also in Ye Zhiqiu's view, real feelings are not like this.
