7.

The next day, Li Weizhou woke up to see that it was already more than ten o'clock, and when he looked up, he found that Luo Xun was still sleeping, and gently extinguished the candle, thinking that the sleep aid effect of the candle was quite useful to him.

Buzz-Buzz-

A message from Lu Ye

- At five o'clock in the evening, Lu Ge had a treat at his hotel

When Li Weizhou saw the content of the message, he suddenly felt very upset and knocked on the screen impatiently.

-If you don't have something to do at night, help me talk to Brother Lu

"Buzz" the phone vibrates again

- He asked you to go by name, he wants to save face so much, it's not good if you don't go

As early as before the college entrance examination, Li Weizhou thought about not having any contact with those people in the future. Before, he was helpless, but now in this new environment, he wants to start over, like an ordinary college student who doesn't need to think about other things.

But Brother Lu was kind to him, when he was only in the fifth grade of primary school, his classmates at school ridiculed him for being an illegitimate child without a father, Li Weizhou pounced on those people, and finally when he was besieged and beaten to the point that he had no strength to fight back, it was Brother Lu who came to his aid, and he has been following Brother Lu ever since.

Brother Lu is ten years older than him, and to him, Brother Lu is also a father and a brother. So this time Brother Lu invited him to dinner, he had to go, and it could be regarded as a break from before.

- Okay, I see, I'll go in the evening.

~~·~~·

"Ah~" Du Xing stretched his waist and got up, "I slept so comfortably this night." ”

Li Weizhou saw that everyone in the house was awake, so he opened the curtains and looked out the window, such a blue sky is really rare, thinking of the dinner at night, his heart was gloomy, when will he be completely free.

"Brother Zhou, let's go have a good meal at noon, we haven't had a meal since we got to the bedroom, and it just so happens that there are all people today." Du Xing glanced at Wang Xinlin again, "You, don't look for your girlfriend at noon!" ”

Wang Xinlin smiled and nodded.

Du Xing saw that Li Weizhou and Luo Xun did not object, picked up his mobile phone and clicked on Meituan to start looking for food, "How about we eat hot pot at noon?" ”

Li Weizhou looked out the window, "I can do it, you can choose." ”

Du Xing looked at Luo Xun with expectant eyes again, Luo Xun just wanted to refuse, remembered Luo Xin's words yesterday to try to integrate into them, and nodded.

"Xiaolin, you can also eat hot pot, let's order mandarin duck pot, you can't eat spicy." Duchenne said on the side, "Then it's such a pleasant decision, clean up quickly, I'm going to starve to death!" ”

When they arrived at the hot pot restaurant, Du Xing was still in charge of ordering, and the other three nodded in agreement.

"Hey, can you all be a little excited!" Du Xing looked at these three people, Li Weizhou kept thinking about dinner at night and didn't speak, Luo Xun maintained a state of not approaching anyone, Wang Xinlin smiled and nodded.

After the hot pot came up, Du Xing was just about to pour wine for Li Weizhou, "I don't drink, I have something to do at night", and he wanted to pour wine for Luo Xun, Luo Xun also shook his head and refused, and finally looked at Wang Xinlin, "I don't know how to drink." ”

"My God, are you guys trying to get along with me," Duchenne cried.

Li Weizhou remembered that he forgot to add the grade group yesterday and asked, "Du Xing, are you in the plus grade group?" ”

"yes, didn't you add it?"

Li Weizhou shook his head, took out his mobile phone and added him as a WeChat friend, "You can notify me if you have something." ”

Pointed the QR code at Luo Xun again, "Scan it?" ”

Luo Xun took out his mobile phone to scan.

Li Weizhou received a friend request: L asks to add your friend.

“L？” Li Weizhou didn't think it would be such a coincidence, both of them were called L. I clicked on the opening picture and saw that it was a little prince, and I thought that this scholar was really childlike.

After the four of them finished eating the hot pot, Du Xing and Wang Xinlin went back to the bedroom.

Luo Xun found that Li Weizhou was in a wrong mood during the meal, and asked with some concern: "Are you okay?" ”

Li Weizhou shook his head.

He followed this path all the way, not thinking about where he was going, and he didn't know where to go.

I listened to Duchenne and them chatting in the hot pot restaurant just now, and I felt more and more that I was not the same world as them, and they had a bright future ahead of them. As for himself, he is like a small boat in the sea, surrounded by confusion, without a destination, drifting with the wind and waves, and stopping wherever he goes.

This feeling of having no direction is really tiring, even if he has the heart to try to move forward and get rid of his past life, but who can tell him how to go.

~~~~

Luo Xin saw Luo Xun come back and squeezed a glass of juice, "Didn't you say that you don't have to come back in the next few days." ”

"It's fine, and I don't want to go back to the dorm."

"Well, do you want me to tell your guide to let you commute?" Luo Xin knew his brother's character and did not force him.

Luo Xun just wanted to nod, but suddenly remembered the scented candle and Li Weizhou, who was curled up in a ball and sleeping.

He shook his head, "No, it's good to live in the dormitory, don't bother." ”

Luo Xin looked at Luo Xun in surprise, this was the first time he had heard him say that he was willing to live outside and not come back.

"Waiter, order!"

"Whoa! Here it comes. Luo Xin responded.

"Sister, you go first, I'll go to the door and watch."

Luo Xun got up and stood at the door, all he thought about was Li Weizhou who was bowing his head in the hot pot restaurant just now, completely different from his previous high-flying appearance, there was something wrong with Li Weizhou today, Luo Xun took out his mobile phone and clicked on Li Weizhou's WeChat.

-Are you okay?

Luo Xun thought for a while, deleted it again, and put the phone back in his pocket.

8.

Li Weizhou walked aimlessly to the park in the middle of the lake, sat on a bench and saw a father not far away with his son throwing stones into the center of the lake, the water surface rippled, and the little boy waved his hands to celebrate that he threw farther.

He remembered his father, who he hadn't seen since he could remember. For him, "Dad" is just two simple words, and nothing else.

After sitting for a while to see that the time was almost up, I took a taxi to the hotel. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Lu Ye waiting for him at the door.

", you're here, I thought you weren't coming?" Lu Ye stepped on the cigarette butt.

Brother Lu saw Li Weizhou come in and clapped his hands, "The protagonist has arrived today!" ”

Li Weizhou saw Brother Lu and walked over with a smile, "Brother Lu, don't make me such a big show." ”

Li Weizhou took a look around and found that there were not only many people present today, but also miscellaneous, in addition to Brother Lu's people, there were also Li Zhi, Wang Wei, and a few big brothers who were no longer in this circle.

"Why, my younger brother was admitted to college, is there anything wrong with inviting him to dinner as an elder brother, is this pomp still big." Brother Lu led Li Weizhou to sit in the main seat.

"Hahahaha, yes, you're the only college student among us, we need to celebrate!" Yang Mu, one of Brother Lu's best friends, said next to him, and the rest of the people present also echoed.

"Let's serve!"

Li Weizhou looked at Brother Lu and the people present, and silently thought in his heart how to make it clear to Brother Lu when it was over after a while, he just wanted to be an ordinary college student and didn't want to live an unstable life.

Brother Lu stood up and raised his glass, "First of all, this first glass of wine is to celebrate my good brother, Li Weizhou, who became a college student as he wished, and was admitted to a key university at a fucking time!" ”

Li Weizhou also stood up and said sincerely, "Brother Lu, if it wasn't for you back then, I would definitely not be what I am now." I salute you with this glass. ”

He looked at Li Weizhou, "Don't think I don't know what your kid is thinking, let's talk about it later."

Brother Lu poured himself a second glass of wine, "Thank you for coming to my field for this glass of wine."

He poured another glass of wine, "This third glass of wine is to announce that I, Lu Yixin, will wash my hands from today onwards, and will no longer ask about anything, and Yang Mu will take over everything in the future." ”

Li Weizhou looked at Lu Yixin when he heard the golden basin washing his hands, it turned out that this was the purpose of Brother Lu's invitation to dinner today.

Brother Lu looked at Li Weizhou looking at him, and said, "In addition, I have one more thing to announce. ”

The people sitting below looked at each other, what else is there to do? Is it more important than quitting the circle?

"From now on, Li Weizhou is no longer a person in this circle, a college student can't follow you, he should have his own life and future. All of you here, including those who didn't come today, inform each other, and if anyone dares to trouble him again in the future, Yang Mu will solve it for me. ”

The people present were speechless in shock by these two decisions, and Li Weizhou also looked at Lu Yixin with a shocked face, and his eyes were full of gratitude in an instant.

He knew Brother Lu's status in this circle, and what Brother Lu said, no one dared to refute it, let alone disobey it. The unstable life that had been unstable before was finally over, and he was free to have a plain and simple life.

After dinner, Li Weizhou stayed behind to accompany Lu Yixin to send everyone away, and then went to Lu Yixin's tea room together.

Li Weizhou looked at him, "Brother Lu, thank you." ”

Lu Yixin poured himself a cup of tea, poured another cup for Li Weizhou, and took a sip slowly, "Xiaozhou, how old did you follow me?" ”

Li Weizhou slowly recalled, "About ten years old."

Lu Yixin put down the teacup and said slowly, "It was my twentieth birthday, and I was going to take the cake, but I didn't expect to see you surrounded by four or five people in the small alley, and you were curled up in a small corner like a puppy in distress." I was going to pass by, because it's so commonplace.

But the look in your eyes that day reminded me of myself when I was a child, I was chased and beaten like that, and I didn't want to see the same thing happen again, so I stepped forward to help you.

Later, I asked you to follow me, skip class, fight, and watch the scene, I knew that I had deprived you of a normal school life, but I felt that since I had chosen this path, I had to abandon my normal life.

It wasn't until that time I stabbed that person, you went to the police station for me to turn myself in, and your mother knelt at the door begging and crying that you were only 15 years old, that I realized that I was wrong, and I shouldn't have taken it for granted to deprive you of your life.

Later, I found someone to fish you out, and I was relieved to make sure that you didn't have a criminal record, and since then, I have tried not to let you get involved in the bad habits of this circle.

Poplar grew up with me and always asked me why I was so special to you. I sometimes think about it, but then I realize that I see myself in your eyes, and I want to be who I want to be.

Now you can get out of here completely, go live the life you should live, forget the past, carry my dreams, and move forward. ”

Li Weizhou put down the teacup and covered his eyes with both hands, still unable to control the tears flowing down, and subconsciously bit his lower lip to prevent himself from crying.

For him, the fall was not terrible, it was terrible to be sober at the time of his fall.

Lu Yixin quietly waited for Li Weizhou to finish venting, and put a key on the coffee table, "This was for your mother before, it was near your school, I wanted you to change to a big house to live in, but then I returned it, she said that I am better away from you than anything." Now this one is up to you".

Li Weizhou immediately refused, "Brother Lu, I can't ask for this, you are already very good to me." ”

Lu Yixin shook his head, "If I don't give this to you, I will never be happy in my heart." The two weeks you spent in there were nothing I could compensate you for. Take it, if you don't take it, don't call me brother again! ”

Those two weeks of life, no, it's not life, it's not as good as pigs and dogs, it's all problem teenagers, being beaten is just the lightest lesson, being stripped naked and beaten, sleeping standing up, not eating for a few days, and even more reluctant to look back on what I witnessed**... Hell on earth is nothing more than this, Li Weizhou's hands trembled involuntarily.

Lu Yixin got up and sat next to Li Weizhou and patted him on the shoulder, "It's not too early, I'll let Uncle Li send you back to school."

Li Weizhou stood up, "No need Brother Lu, I want to walk by myself for a while." ”

Lu Yixin nodded, it's okay, relax.

~~~~~

Li Weizhou had never felt so relaxed when he walked on the road, and when he looked up, he found that the night sky was so beautiful. Remembering that sentence, although we live in the gutter, we still have to look up at the starry sky.
