Chapter Twenty-Six: The Price of a Friend

Old Town, on the outskirts of Zouma Town.

"I always feel like something big is going to happen recently...... Chu Yunan hugged the back of his head with both hands, and walked with Chen Yunhan all the way. The boy was carrying a small black bag and an Ada pendant from Monument Valley. The breeze on the street blew towards them, and a few dull hairs on Chu Yunan's chicken coop head swayed.

"Yo, aren't you the child of prophecy? Let's make a prediction. Chen Yunhan smiled, she likes to joke about other people's shortcomings, and the magnifying glass pokes at people's shortcomings infinitely.

"What? What son of prophecy, are you bothered? If I were the Child of Prophecy, I would still be studying here? I can go to tell people's fortunes, it's really nonsense all day long. Chu Yunan retorted to her, he was already bored with this topic.

"Alright then, what do you say is coming? My prophet. Chen Yunhan took out the durian candy from the pocket of his clothes, and as soon as he peeled off the paper, a large stream of durian instantly emanated.

"This ......" Before Chu Yunan finished speaking, he shifted the topic track.

"Can you stop eating durian candy all day long, it stinks." Chu Yunan covered her nose and said to Chen Yunhan, but Chen Yunhan didn't listen to it at all.

"What? Durian candy is delicious, I don't believe you eat it. Chen Yunhan took out durian candy from his clothes pocket, peeled off the candy paper and handed it to Chu Yunan, Ah Chu pinched his nose and waved his hand to refuse.

"Take it away, I beg you, it really stinks!" Chu Yunan's nasal voice was thick, and he kept waving his hand to refuse.

"Okay, I'll eat it myself." Chen Yunhan threw the durian candy into his mouth, and the taste of durian instantly came into play in his mouth, echoing throughout his mouth.

Chu Yunan looked at Chen Yunhan with a puzzled expression, "I really don't know what's delicious about this thing." The smell is not as bad as the preserved eggs, and the fragrance is not as fragrant as other foods. ”

"I don't know, it's purely delicious." Chen Yunhan chewed durian candy and explained to Chu Yunan.

"Oh yes, you said you sensed something big was happening, what was it?" Chen Yunhan remembered the topic and chatted for a long time before entering the topic.

"Uh...... How so? I had a headache early this morning, I don't know if I didn't sleep well, and the effects of the sea still inexplicably surfaced in my mind. Chu Yunan grabbed her hair.

"The sea?" Chen Yunhan asked.

"Well......" he continued, "I still dreamed about some scenes when I went to bed last night. ”

"What scene? Specifically. Chen Yunhan looked at him, with a very serious look in her eyes.

Chu Yunan looked around, his mind kept recalling the previous picture, but he didn't know how to express everything he thought.

"When I went to bed last night, in my dream, I dreamed of a scene. I saw the sea, not so much the sea, maybe the river, but the sea was fierce, and the wind was howling. To make this section clearer, I also saw someone throwing the box under the sea, and there were other people besides. The group were all wearing cloaks, and it was impossible to see what they looked like. ”

"Chests? What box? Chen Yunhan continued to ask, his brows continued to wrinkle.

Chu Yunan shook his head and was silent, "I don't know...... Well, I seem to remember that after the box sank under the sea, it was smashed by something in the sea, and an iron rod was stuck in the bottom. ”

"Hahaha, are you having a nightmare? What movie did you watch last night? Chen Yunhan suddenly smiled.

Chu Yunan was silent, and he said to Chen Yunhan, "No, I'm ...... I watched the TV series Gotham last night, and the Penguin Man was pushed under the sea after being killed by the Riddler. ”

Chen Yunhan patted him on the shoulder, and his language showed righteousness and strictness, "Tut-tut, watch less American dramas in the future, reasoning and suspense dramas like this are not suitable for people like you." ”

"Oh." Chu Yunan nodded, "I just don't know if the penguin people will die, alas...... I've always liked penguin people. ”

Chen Yunhan continued to take out durian candy from her pocket, Chu Yunan subconsciously covered her nose, the durian smell just now was about to dissipate, and now she ate another one, and the already disgusting air became even worse.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt. At most, take a break and then come back again. Chen Yunhan peeled off the candy paper and threw it into her mouth, she looked at Chu Yunan and said, "Have you ever seen a penguin drowning?" Ha ha. ”

"You've watched Gotham, too?" Chu Yunan didn't cover his nose, and his interest made him overcome everything, "What next?" ”

"Uh-huh." Chen Yunhan handed Chu Yunan a durian candy, "If you eat it, I will..." Before he finished speaking, Chu Yunan picked up the durian candy, peeled off the candy paper and swallowed it.

"How does it taste? Isn't it delicious? The flavor is instantly volatile and has a unique taste. Chen Yunhan tugged at her clothes, and she continued, "Then, the penguins made a comeback and formed a team of weirdos by themselves, Poison Ivy Girl, Mr. Freeze, Flame Girl, in short, very powerful." The Riddler discovers that the Penguin Man is not dead, so he naturally wants to kill him again. And then...... Uh, it's a little broken. Chen Yunhan scratched his head.

"Is the Riddler dead?" Chu Yunan asked.

Chen Yunhan thought for a moment, then raised his eyebrows, "The Riddler is not dead, he was frozen by the penguin borrowing the power of Mr. Freeze." It was then placed in the penguin's home, and the Iceberg Restaurant was established. ”

"Oh, what a pity, such a smart person is gone. and penguins really love and kill each other, from full of joy to hatred. Chu Yunan felt sorry for the characters in the TV series, the plot was full of ups and downs, reversed and reversed, dead and resurrected, resurrected and died, dead and continued to resurrect.

"Hey, it's the penguin who likes the Riddler, you should know that love is something that can't be forced, not to mention that at that time the Riddler found the same character as his first love." Chen Yunhan sighed and spoke philosophically, "So, it's better to have Jerome and Jerome." ”

"Hmm...... Penguins are really pitiful. Chu Yunan said.

"Let's go, after all, the penguin is not the main character, and it would be nice to live until the fifth season." Chen Yun sighed coldly, and a large smell of durian came out instantly.

Along the way, the two of them ate durian candy, which tasted heavier than garlic, and Chu Yunan didn't like to eat it in the first place, because he thought it tasted strange, fragrant but not fragrant, and not very smelly. Compared to stinky tofu and preserved eggs, it's a far cry. But inexplicably, the more you eat, the more addictive you become, and the more you chew, the more energetic you become. It's really weird, if you eat this kind of thing in class, those who don't like to eat durian will definitely chase you and beat you.

"Oh yes, why did you come back late last night? Did you go where to play with Huang Tian? Chen Yunhan grabbed Chu Yunan's eyes and tried to ask him, just like asking about the situation between fake couples. There was a sense of persecution in his tone, and his eyes were full of torture.

"No, how can I have time to play with that guy, two big men go shopping weird and magical. You say, don't you? Hahaha. Chu Yunan pretended to be calm, after all, he wouldn't lie, and once he lied, all the loopholes would be hidden.

"Then why did you go?" Chen Yunhan asked.

"I ......" Chu Yunan grabbed her hair and pretended to be calm, her eyes fluttering, "I...... I went last night...... Transparent blocks, see what's good to bring back for you to play, yes, that's it! ”

Chu Yunan firmly believes that his lie can be accepted naturally.

"Would you be so good to me? I don't believe it. Chen Yunhan shook his head and didn't believe it, not quite believing in his personality qualities.

"Really! I kid you not. Chu Yunan grasped this, and he decided that this was the case, anyway, Chen Yunhan didn't know, so he just cheated casually. Could it be better to tell her directly? I saved someone last night, and then sent her to the hospital, and I took a thousand two to go in, and I didn't get anything in return, who believes it?

"Do you see anything good?" Chen Yunhan's eyes sparkled, twinkling and shining.

Chu Yunan's heart was silent, and in order to fulfill a lie, he had to weave another lie out, "Huh...... No. ”

Chen Yunhan sighed in disappointment, "Huh? So...... You didn't see anything yesterday and came back in a circle? ”

"Hmm......" Chu Yunan nodded and admitted, "It's okay, next time I will definitely bring something good back to you, believe me." Let's pull the hook! Chu Yunan stretched out his little thumb, just like last time.

Chen Yunhan also stretched out his little thumb hastily, and shook it a few times casually before reluctantly letting go. Chu Yunan smiled embarrassedly, after all, he didn't have much money on him. Yesterday I gave 1,002 medical expenses, and I still have some small savings at home, which is only two or three hundred yuan. While letting your dreams fly, you also have to solve life problems.

"Hey, don't be sad all day, be happy. If you smile often, good things will come naturally. Chu Yunan pretended to be polite and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Then if you promise me to join the organization, then I'll be happy, how about it?" Chen Yunhan looked at him expectantly.

"Uh...... Let's change the subject, hahaha. Wow, the weather is so nice today, it's perfect for drying quilts. Chu Yunan pushed Chen Yunhan away, he was annoyed when he heard this, and his brain was buzzing and his head hurt.

"Hey, goddess!" Chu Yunan blurted out on the street.

"What did you call me for?" Chen Yunhan turned his head suddenly, but found that Chu Yunan's call was not her.

Chu Yunan saw Qu Mengcheng in the coffee shop in front, drinking coffee there with a few of her good friends. Sit and drink coffee and eat small desserts on the open-air terrace of the coffee shop. If you eat something so greasy early in the morning, aren't you afraid of tooth decay? Several of her good friends, each with a long and graceful appearance, and sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, just don't know how thick the makeup is, and the foundation is as heavy as body armor. Wearing bright red lipstick and white and tender foundation, he looks like a zombie.

"Which zombie is your goddess?" Chen Yunhan asked Chu Yunan, she didn't expect Ah Chu's taste to be so heavy, and she didn't expect that guy to walk over to say hello, was he going to prepare to summon spirits?

"Wow, what a coincidence, why are you here?" Chu Yunan walked over and greeted Qu Mengcheng directly, and the other animals that transcended various disciplines and genera all turned into nothing in Ah Chu's eyes, becoming a color that was more blank than air.

Qu Mengcheng glanced at the surrounding sisters, and then she looked at Achu, "Are you?" ”

I didn't expect to see you for a few days, but she forgot about the character of Chu Yunan, but it's normal, because people don't take you seriously at all. You're not a big guy either, and you're not a turbulent figure in school, so it's normal not to remember. In the future, if you meet this kind of person, let her record your name and photo in a small notebook, and if you are handsome, your ranking will enter the top ten. If you're not handsome, do you think you can still live in someone else's little book?

It's just that a person like Qu Mengcheng should deliberately ignore Chu Yunan, after all, people also need to have a head and a face, and if you come over to say hello so rashly, you will definitely be ridiculed by your companions. If it's not the same plug, don't force other styles of sockets to pair with you, no matter how hard you force it, the two corners will never match the three holes.

"Mengcheng, who is he? It can't be a hairy kid from some school who came to pursue you, right? One of her friends suddenly spoke, no hearsay, without a draft, just talking, dressed like a ghost, the foundation was thick to death, and the lipstick was as red as eating a pepper. The two cheeks on his face were flushed, as if he had been slapped twice.

"It's normal, a girl like Mengcheng has a noble family and is beautiful, so she naturally attracts boys." Her other friend's tone was almost flying, and according to her way, the next step was to be side by side with the Jade Emperor in the universe. Compared with the woman with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks just now, this one is inexplicably much more pleasing to the eye.

"If I were a boy, I would have to marry a girl like Mengcheng, who is kind and beautiful." She continued. At this time, Chen Yunhan hid in the corner and snickered, she really couldn't hold back, what kind of person could say such a thing? Just go to Thailand to change sex, are they the fish that slipped through the net after nine years of compulsory education?

Chu Yunan walked in front of Qu Mengcheng, and Chen Yunhan didn't stop him, just stood aside to watch how this stupid melon communicated with her goddess.

"Don't you remember me? I'm Acchu. Chu Yunan's tone was as light as cotton, and he didn't dare to expand his volume. Qu Mengcheng looked at Chu Yunan's dress, a black plaid shirt, with white short sleeves, gray slacks, ordinary canvas shoes, and an untidy chicken nest, this is a typical ordinary student, I don't know if she deliberately didn't know Chu Yunan or just threw it to the back of her head, she pursed her lips and smiled.

"Oh, you're that...... What's it called? Let me think. Qu Mengcheng picked up the coffee and took a sip, her eyes avoiding Chu Yunan's gaze.

"Chu Yunan!" He blurted out, expecting someone to recognize him.

"Who eats durian candy? How can there be a durian smell? It stinks to death. The girls swept away the smell in front of their noses, and Chu Yunan immediately realized that there was still a durian smell in his mouth, and he immediately covered his mouth.

"Oh yes...... Chu Yunan, long time no see, haha. Qu Mengcheng smiled awkwardly, and then continued to drink coffee. Chen Yunhan stood aside and listened to her, guessing how the girl's mind sprouted.

A friend sat next to Qu Mengcheng, put his mouth to her ear and told her, "Mengcheng, you suitor is too low, you haven't been a good one, at least people are still rich, and they are handsome." ”

Chu Yunan stood aside, listening to them not knowing what was crooked. The wind blew the head of his coop, and a few broken hairs swayed. Chen Yunhan stood outside the bureau and looked at him, I don't know if that guy really doesn't know the connotation of the other party's words, or if he doesn't know, he may be really stupid, he has put his words on the table, in the final analysis, he will not recognize you as a friend. But his heart was still indifferent, and he seemed to be loyal and sworn to follow the master in front of him to the death.

Chen Yunhan hid behind Chu Yunan's back and asked Ah Chu the reason, "What?" Your goddess doesn't know you? ”

Chu Yunan swallowed his saliva, "Don't talk nonsense, she's ...... She probably was, embarrassed to admit it...... bar. ”

"Cut, it's still hard to hold on." Chen Yunhan glanced at him, then walked to the side and sat down in the open air to watch them talk.

"Hey, come over here." Qu Mengcheng pulled Chu Yunan to the side, and the people around him were dumbfounded, while Chen Yunhan sat on the side drinking boiled water, gargling the durian flavor in his mouth.

"Do you have any money with you?" Qu Mengcheng behaved very tactfully, but this sentence changed from her mouth.

"You...... What's wrong with you, don't you have any money? Chu Yunan was stunned.

Qu Mengcheng sighed, looking pitiful, "My money is at home, and I definitely don't have money to eat at noon today." Hearing this, Chu Yunan immediately took out two hundred yuan and handed it to Qu Mengcheng. He is really as stupid as he is, and the IQ tax is all handed over to the state.

"Thank you!" Qu Mengcheng took all of Achu's last belongings without the slightest hesitation.

"No...... Thank. By the time Chu Yunan reacted, the family had already turned around and was at large with her schoolbag on her back. He stood there alone, and before he could figure out what was going on, the two hundred dollars flew away.
