When the school bell rings, it's the beginning of the evening rush hour. The flow of people in front of the school completely blocked the traffic, and the impatient honking of vehicles in front of the school was in full disregard of the rule that no horns should be honked at the school gate.

There are students who are talking and laughing from the school gate, and the people waiting at the gate are parents and girls' boyfriends and boys' girlfriends. For more than an hour before the evening came, everyone was looking for the person they were looking for, their eyes wandering in the crowd, waiting or being waited.

Su Yifan carried his schoolbag and lowered his head through the crowd, and he saw many familiar faces in these crowds. In fact, Su Yifan didn't recognize these people, he just knew that he would see these people at the school gate every day.

Today is Su Yifan's rare time to leave school alone, and there is nothing he has to do without an invitation. Su Yifan walked alone through the square and parking lot at the school gate with his schoolbag, through those familiar alleys, and walked towards the old street with his childhood memories.

The buses along the way were whistling and speeding by, Su Yifan didn't have the slightest idea of taking a car or calling a car, he hoped that he could calm down his mood by constantly walking, but he couldn't do anything.

There are many small shops in the old streets, and even in the 21st century, the renovation of the coastal city has not completely eliminated these old-fashioned streets. Su Yifan walked through the old street along the alley he was most familiar with, and walked all the way towards the place agreed with Chu Ruo.

In order to calm his mood, Su Yifan has been listening to the song given to him by Zhang Yao.

Before this, Su Yifan felt that he had begun to grow up and began to learn to mature. It wasn't until Su Xiaoqing suddenly woke him up with a word that Su Yifan realized that he was not as powerful as he imagined.

Deep down, he was still a young teenager, but his long silence and forbearance had made him more resilient and patient than others.

Faced with the beautiful things he wanted to pursue, Su Yifan felt that he was like everyone in the school, full of impulsiveness and selfish thoughts.

Now Su Yifan has to ask himself, is he really ready to face Chu Ruo alone?

I didn't go far through the old street, and the emerging business district appeared in the field of vision. The neon signs and promotional advertisements in the plaza instantly pull people back to the modern world from the old style of more than a decade ago, and girls in short skirts showing off their flesh-colored stockings and beautiful legs are diligently promoting beer and drinks. The deafening sound heard the shouts of the host of the business event, as well as the so-called energetic song and dance melody that was so dirty.

In this newly built commercial plaza, there are many foreign brand shops around it, and many young people sit indoors or outdoors in pairs, chatting and laughing with each other. Su Yifan walked through the crowd of people who gathered around the square to watch the business activities, walked to the door of a teahouse with a small plaque on the front of the store, looked up to confirm the name of the teahouse, pushed the door and walked in.

The teahouse has a very large street called Qing Teahouse, which sounds like some kind of inspection agency. Su Yifan didn't know what Chu Ruo's taste had become now, since Chu Ruo had set this kind of place to meet, he would just let the host go.

There are not many locations in the Qing Teahouse, and there are several small private rooms on the first floor, from which you can wear a faint "three-point" sound, and it is estimated that it has become a good place for white-collar workers to gather and play poker like the typhoon shelter. Su Yifan told the little girl wearing a cheongsam at the door about the room number and went straight to the second floor, pushing open the door of the box with "Qingxin" written on it.

Although he had already seen Chu Ruo once a few days ago, Su Yifan still felt a little shocked when he saw Chu Ruo again today.

is still a simple black long straight dress, Chu Ruo never shies away from one or two small poxes on his forehead, with a faint expression on his face, a goose yellow chiffon shirt with half sleeves on his upper body, and a pair of beige shorts with black bottoms. pants, the whole person seems quiet with a little sexuality # feeling.

Su Yifan observed very carefully that Chu Ruo's eyes were slightly red, obviously he had not rested very well recently. There are faintly visible dark circles around the big eyes, which seem to be a little haggard.

Seeing Su Yifan, Chu Ruo was still the strong and direct girl back then, and pointed to the chair opposite him: "Sit." ”

Su Yifan walked to Chu Ruo with his schoolbag and sat down, and put the schoolbag on the ground beside him.

"I thought you had always been someone who liked to go to appointments early, but it seems that this has changed." Chu Ruo rang the service bell, "Let's have a cup of tea before eating, shall we?" ”

With Chu Ruo's character, asking questions is usually to get a positive answer. Su Yifan also felt a little confused when he first saw Chu Ruo, but after listening to Chu Ruo's words, his mood slowly calmed down.

"It's all up to you."

Chu Ruo glanced at Su Yifan unexpectedly: "If it was you before, you would definitely explain that you didn't arrive on time." ”

Su Yifan thought about it, took out his mobile phone and showed Chu Ruo the huge time number on it.

"Our appointment was 5:30, and it's still seven minutes until 5:30, so I don't have to explain if I'm not late."

I didn't expect Su Yifan to become this style now, Chu Ruo was surprised, but it was only for a moment, and then smiled: "Your changes are really big." ”

Su Yifan wanted to say something, but a waiter came in and set a tea set for the two. Chu Ruo didn't ask Su Yifan's opinion, and after ordering a Tieguanyin of more than 1,000 yuan, he drove the waiter out of the city.

"I'll make you tea."

Su Yifan knew that Chu Ruo had studied tea ceremony before, but he had never seen it. I didn't expect to see Chu Ruo making tea for himself in such a state today.

Chu Ruo never said what he wanted to see Su Yifan, nor did he say what he wanted to talk about after meeting. Su Yifan is more patient than Chu Ruo, since Chu Ruo refused to speak, he quietly admired Chu Ruo's movements without saying a word.

The current Chu Ruo has a more convincing mature taste than the one Su Yifan once liked, which is completely inconsistent with her girlish appearance.

Chu Ruo's movements are beautiful, and there is a little charm in his maturity. These customs were something that could not be seen in middle school, and Su Yifan had to admire that the power of time was really better than everything.

The first cup of tea is slightly astringent in the mouth, with a hint of bitterness in the fragrance, like a more youthful memory.

"That girl that day wasn't your girlfriend, was she?" Chu Ruo lowered his hands and suddenly asked.

"It's not." Su Yifan was not surprised by Chu Ruo's feeling at all, and replied honestly.

"What a very good girl, you should take advantage of the opportunity."

Chu Ruo didn't know what he would say about it, but in fact, the relationship between the two was far from the level of lovers. To be precise, Su Yifan likes Chu Ruo more, and Chu Ruo's feelings for Su Yifan are not so strong.

Su Yifan thought for a while and said, "Xie Lu, thank you for your concern." ”

In addition, Su Yifan really didn't know what to say, he wanted to ask Chu Ruo directly what he was looking for, but he couldn't say the question as happily as Chu Ruo.

The second cup of tea, the fragrance outweighed the astringency, Su Yifan put the teacup in his hand and played with it, he remembered a lot of laughter about Chu Ruo. At that time, there was a sweet smell in the air, and Su Yifan felt that he was really helpless to grow up.

The stronger this feeling is, the more grateful Su Yifan is to Su Xiaoqing.

There is no escaping the fact that people have to grow up and learn to be strong.

"That is, at the beginning of this year, Wang Jianhou contacted me." Chu Ruo said, "At the beginning, it was a class reunion, and they were all mixed with him, so I excused myself a few times and went with him." ”

Su Yifan looked at Chu Ruo, he didn't understand why Chu Ruo wanted to tell him this.

Chu Ruo saw Su Yifan's incomprehension, and laughed at himself: "I don't know what Lu Dao wants to explain to you, anyway, I just want to say, you can listen to me, right?" ”

Chu Ruo didn't need a real answer every time he asked a question, so Su Yifan nodded happily.

"Actually, there's not much to say about it." Chu Ruo continued to pour tea for Su Yifan, and said lightly, "Do you know what my family used to do?" ”

"I really don't know what to do." Su Yifan said.

Chu Ruo was surprised: "You don't know the way? ”

"It's true." Su Yifan said, "Except for Zhang Yao's matter, I didn't lie to you. ”

"That little girl did it that day, right?" Chu Ruo felt that Su Yifan's sincere attitude seemed to be a blow to him, and he seemed to have never been so sincere before.

Su Yifan smiled and didn't speak, he wouldn't push the problem onto Zhang Yao. Compared with Chu Ruo, who is strong in front of her, Zhang Yao is such a cute girl.

Chu Ruo paused and continued: "Actually, I have mentioned to people what my family does before, do you know that my father's name is Chu Yin?" ”

The name Chu Yin is not unfamiliar to the young people of Binhai City. When Chu Ruo mentioned this name, Su Yifan immediately understood why Chu Ruo would first ask others if they knew about his father.

Chu Yin, who was known as the third brother in Binhai City, used to be an honest stall businessman, and later followed the style of the billiard room of the video hall in the early nineties to make billiard halls and video halls for a period of time, and made a lot of friends. When the computer room was on the rise, the Internet café was opened, and the Internet café got better and better from small to large, and eventually became a chain.

Chu Yin was not satisfied with the Internet café chain, and invested in several electronic entertainment cities in a row in those years, with gambling rooms. Because of the abundant funds in his hands, Chu Yin began to get involved in the real estate business again after 2000, and is now one of the most famous local investors in Binhai City.

Chu Yin has a good relationship with black and white, and now he is a well-known representative of the underworld in the entire Binhai City. Su Yifan counted that when he was in middle school, it would be the most powerful time for Chu Yin, and it seemed that only a good boy like himself who was stupid and stupid didn't know what Chu Ruo's family was doing.

In short, Chu Ruo is the daughter of an underworld boss!

If it was two or three years ago, Su Yifan would probably feel shocked. Now when I hear Chu Ruo talk about this, I don't think it's anything, but I'm more interested in what follows.

"And then?"

Chu Ruo was also surprised that Su Yifan's reaction was so calm. High school is a time when everyone goes their separate ways, and everyone will start moving in the direction of their choice. Chu Ruo didn't know what happened to Su Yifan, she just felt that Su Yifan seemed to have far surpassed the boy she knew back then.

Then Su Yifan remembered a recent rumor, and he said to Chu Ruo: "So you are following Wang Jianhou now because of your father?" ”
