"What a waste of money." Lu Mingfei looked at the forty bags of Parker pens that Xia Yan didn't know where to wholesale, and couldn't help but marvel.

"It's okay, the retail is more expensive, more than 300 a piece." Xia Yan replied somewhat casually: "I bought so much at once, and finally bargained with the boss for two hundred and five." ”

That's so expensive... Lu Mingfei complained secretly in his heart.

When he went home at noon, he took home the new mobile phone and computer that Xia Yan gave him, which caused his cousin Lu Mingze to cry out in shock. The uncle and aunt were taken aback and hurriedly asked him if he had gone to sell his kidney. Lu Mingfei said that he couldn't sell his kidney for a few bucks now, and most of them had to be greedy by black intermediaries.

Lu Mingfei hadn't finished eating lunch for a while, when Xia Yan called him over again.

So he accompanied Xia Yan to the hot pot restaurant during the lunch break to charter five private rooms on the second floor, and packed the forty pens Xia Yan bought into boxes in advance and transported them to the hot pot restaurant for temporary storage.

"The bonus that the school gave you, are you running out of money?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Xia Yan said with a smile: "It is said that it is a bonus from the school, but it is actually not the money that the principal and his old man squeezed from the students. This is called taking from the people and using it for the people. ”

"Oh yes, when the time comes, you will greet you at the door, and you will hand out a pen to a classmate." Xia Yan added: "Remember to smile, do you need to bite a chopstick to practice smiling?" ”

Lu Mingfei immediately shook his head and said that he would definitely complete the task.

He knew that this was Xia Yan helping him sell favors, so as not to be bullied by others when Xia Yan left.

"Whoa." Xia Yan took out a silver pen from his pocket and handed it to Lu Mingfei, who subconsciously took it.

This silvery-white fountain pen is very different from other black pens in appearance, with a delicate carved body and a more delicate design where the fingers can be held, and a dazzling gold hook on the cap adds a touch of luxury.

It's a typical women's fountain pen, and it looks expensive. Lu Mingfei looked at Xia Yan suspiciously, looking unclear.

Xia Yan said with a hippie smile: "Don't you like Chen Wenwen, give this to her when the time comes." ”

Lu Mingfei hesitated.

After listening to Xia Yan's words, an ardent expectation surged in his heart, but he felt that something seemed wrong.

It's not right, isn't this a fountain pen sent by Xia Yan?

Xia Yan saw Lu Mingfei's careful thoughts, and said with hatred: "Stupid death!" You just said that you specifically asked me to buy it, right? ”

Lu Mingfei hurriedly sighed twice in a row, and solemnly put away the pen in his hand.

"Alright, let's go to school, wait for the evening to begin." Xia Yan stretched and beckoned to Lu Mingfei next to him.

The two got out of the hot pot restaurant and walked side by side towards the school...

All afternoon, Lu Mingfei's hand groped back and forth on the silver-white fountain pen, as if it was not a fountain pen, but Chen Wenwen's soft and tender hand.

During this period, Xia Yan looked at him with disdain several times, and he was really disgusted by his idiot appearance.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, Lu Mingfei finally looked forward to the bell ringing after school.

"Everyone remember to come over at night, you can be late, but don't be too late!" Xia Yan shouted.

And they all laughed and agreed.

Seeing Lu Mingfei's impatient but nervous look, Xia Yan sighed a little helplessly, he could only hope that this kid would give some strength when the time came, and he would not decline to the end.

The two took a taxi directly to the hot pot restaurant and began to arrange the meal and arrange the dishes in advance.

As the sun sets, night falls, and the lights of the city begin to bloom. Xia Yan and Lu Mingfei stood outside the hot pot restaurant, waiting for someone while admiring the colorful and bright buildings on both sides of the street.

Xia Yan took out a box of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, skillfully opened the cigarette case, pulled out the cigarette, lit the fire, and then took a deep breath and closed his mouth tightly.

So the white breath slowly erupted from his nostrils, and then dissipated into the bustling night of the city with the wind wandering through the streets.

"When did you smoke?" Lu Mingfei suddenly stood a little farther away from Xia Yan.

"It was a long time ago." Xia Yan narrowed his eyes and replied in a flat tone: "Now that I have money, I just want to pick up this craft." ”

"Craftsmanship is, smoking is bad for health!" Lu Mingfei protested.

"You know!" Xia Yan said disdainfully: "In a box of ten-yuan cigarettes, nine of them are taxes to be paid to the state. My brother smoked not a cigarette, but a bullet fired by the motherland at the enemy. ”

Lu Mingfei was speechless.

"Is that Chen Wenwen?" Xia Yan suddenly pointed to a thin figure in a white dress in the distance and asked.

Lu Mingfei listened, and immediately looked at it nervously.

"Seems to be." He said.

"I really didn't expect that she would be the first to come, and it can be regarded as getting what you want." Xia Yan patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder, and then went upstairs.

Lu Mingfei watched Chen Wenwen approach step by step, and his heart couldn't help but hang. Chen Wenwen looked left and right, as if she hadn't found a place yet, so Lu Mingfei mustered up the courage to trot all the way over and waved at Chen Wenwen.

Chen Wenwen saw Lu Mingfei and beckoned to him.

"Why did you come so early?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Hmm." Chen Wenwen said softly: "There's nothing to do at home, so I want to come over in advance to help you." ”

Lu Mingfei said embarrassedly: "It's okay, it's okay, we're almost done." ”

The two looked at each other speechlessly, so Lu Mingfei took the lead and walked towards the hot pot restaurant with Chen Wenwen.

"What gifts did Xia Yan prepare for his classmates?" Chen Wenwen asked in a low voice.

"Fountain pen." Lu Mingfei replied: "The black Parker pen is quite good-looking." ”

Hearing that it was a fountain pen, Chen Wenwen suddenly had a fleeting surprise in her eyes. For a literary girl like her, a book and a pen are indeed a little more attractive than anything else.

The two walked to the door of the hot pot restaurant, Lu Mingfei asked Chen Wenwen to wait outside, and then ran to the house by himself and took out a black fountain pen from the box where the pen was stored.

"That's it." Lu Mingfei took a black pen and explained to Chen Wenwen.

Chen Wenwen nodded, and then said, "It looks good." ”

Lu Mingfei secretly rejoiced in his heart, it seems that Chen Wenwen still prefers the gift of fountain pens.

So Lu Mingfei took the silver pen out of his pocket and handed it to Chen Wenwen.

When Lu Mingfei was at school in the afternoon, he arranged a lot of languages for this scene, but when the real thing came, it was still the same as usual, just stammering to Chen Wenwen and saying, "This... This is the women's fountain pen that I specially asked Xia Yan to buy for you, and gave it to you. ”

When Chen Wenwen heard Lu Mingfei's words, she immediately panicked. After hesitating for a moment, she still took the pen in Lu Mingfei's hand, and then said very sincerely: "Thank you, Lu Mingfei." ”

Lu Mingfei smiled stupidly and said, "It's okay... It's okay, if you like it. ”

"This pen is expensive, isn't it?" Chen Wenwen asked in a low voice.

"It's more expensive than the black pen Xia Yan bought." Lu Mingfei had no choice but to talk nonsense.

He really didn't ask Xia Yan about the price of this pen, in short, it was definitely not more expensive than other black pens, and he was not wrong when he said so.

"Thank you." Chen Wenwen thanked again.

Lu Mingfei hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's really nothing... Why don't you go upstairs and sit down, I'll be here to greet the other students. ”

Chen Wenwen hummed, and slowly walked upstairs under Lu Mingfei's gaze.

After Lu Mingfei finished tonight's "top priority", he also breathed a sigh of relief. He stood on the side of the street blowing a warm breeze, humming an unfamiliar tune, looking at the crowd coming and going, as if he suddenly felt the temperature of this world.

In the middle of the night, the streets of the city are no longer full of traffic, and there are no business elites rushing back and forth with papers, and the streets are mostly filled with couples and elderly people who come out for a walk in slippers. Whenever darkness comes, people will choose to take off the disguise of the day, release the accumulated pressure, and embrace their true selves.

A group of childish students are still chatting at the dinner table, drinking and talking. Even Lu Mingfei, who doesn't talk much on weekdays, began to chat with others with a red face.

"Brothers and sisters!" Xia Yan blushed and raised his arms and shouted: "It's really not early, it's going to be dispersed today, and you still have to go to class tomorrow." ”

Zhao Menghua, as the class leader, also echoed and said: "Yes, yes, yes, if you doze off tomorrow, the teacher will be angry." ”

"See you next time!" Someone shouted.

"See you next time...", everyone agreed.

Everyone hit it off, and then scattered like birds and beasts.

Of course, before leaving, everyone also expressed their heartfelt congratulations to Xia Yan.

"Hiccup!" Lu Mingfei hiccuped.

"It's all gone." Xia Yan squinted and said.

"Let's go!" Lu Mingfei shouted.

Xia Yan looked at the mess on the table, and glanced at Lu Mingfei, who was a little above, and couldn't help but sigh: "Don't pick up the joy, the wine is in the clothes." ”

The two walked on the street carrying a large pile of gifts that Xia Yan received.

There are books given by Chen Wenwen, watches sent by Su Xiaoqiao, and a belt sent by Zhao Menghua... Every student came with a gift.

"Let it all go to your house." Xia Yan proposed.

Lu Mingfei woke up slightly, and immediately objected: "Then what's the matter, this is something that everyone gave you." ”

Xia Yan said helplessly: "The problem is that I can't get so many things when I fly to the United States, and after I leave, the rented house will be returned." ”

"If you don't keep it, I'll just throw it away." Xia Yan said faintly.

Lu Mingfei hesitated: "That... All right. ”

The two of them carried things all the way to the door of Lu Mingfei's house.

Lu Mingfei took out the key and opened the door, and found that his uncle and aunt were already asleep, while his cousin Lu Mingze was secretly playing with the new computer that Xia Yan gave to Lu Mingfei in the bedroom.

Lu Mingze smiled awkwardly when he saw his cousin coming back. However, Lu Mingfei didn't bother with him, but moved all those gifts into the house with Xia Yan first.

"When are you leaving?" Lu Mingfei and Xia Yan stood outside the house for a final farewell.

"I'll leave tomorrow after the interview." Xia Yan said with a smile: "I will be familiar with it for two months, and the school will officially start." ”

"Okay." Lu Mingfei reluctantly said: "You must come on, I want to mess with you in the future." ”

Xia Yan made an OK gesture, and then took out more than twenty red banknotes from his pocket and stuffed them to Lu Mingfei.

"What." Lu Mingfei was taken aback.

"There are still more than 2,000 cash from the school that have not been spent." Xia Yan said: "I can't spend it in American schools, everyone uses campus cards, and I don't bother to go to the bank outside to change money." ”

Lu Mingfei waved his hand and said, "I really don't want to." ”

Xia Yan smiled and said, "Keep it, it's always useful." ”

Lu Mingfei was silent.

"Let's go, see you next time." Xia Yan turned around and waved goodbye.

Lu Mingfei held back the tears in his eyes and shouted in a trembling voice, "I must see you again." ”

Xia Yan's figure paused, and continued to walk into the distance. Lu Mingfei just watched his friend drift away, and finally completely melted into the dark night.
