"Let's hurry."

At the dinner table, Li Mobai first opened a bottle of liquor for himself, and did not mean to pour wine for Chen Jing and Qiao Youning, and directly blew one-third of the bottle.

"After this meal, I still have to go to the city, there is still a meeting over there that has not been completed......"

"It's different for our brother Li to be the vice president." Chen Jing said in a loud voice, "Now you can feel the feeling of being a busy person, right?" ”

"Can you stop hurting me, I wasn't idle before!" Li Mobai couldn't cry or laugh, "Isn't this going back soon, before leaving, let the candidates make some preparations, don't do anything dangerous before crossing, don't be in a dangerous environment......"

"They're not stupid." Qiao Youning couldn't help but complain, and then looked back at the outside of the house, "Ah Jing, don't they eat with us?" ”

"When I go back, I have the opportunity to eat, and I am not in a hurry at this time." Chen Jing smiled, "Let's talk about ours." ”

"I don't know if this forum friend can still use it in the world...... Li Mobai said this, looking a little uneasy, "If it can be used...... It should be a lot easier for us to communicate......"

"It's a pity you're not in the eternal night." Chen Jing said helplessly, "The communication methods in the world are not unified, and it is useless for us to leave a phone number." ”

"I don't even have a phone ...... in the extreme day," Qiao Youning lowered her head and poked the white rice in the bowl with her chopsticks, "I want to meet again...... It is estimated that we can only wait until the end of this round of exams......"

During the period when he first returned to the watch world, Chen Jing always felt that life was like a year, because for him, the "home" of the inner world was the real home.

There is a grandfather, there are friends.

It's much more comfortable to live there than in the watch world.

But to this day.

Chen Jing suddenly felt that time passed quite quickly, and thirty days were gone in a blink of an eye.

"I heard Youning say that you have been working very hard during this time......" Li Mobai poured another sip of liquor into his mouth, and the faint light in his biological eyes danced faintly, "I didn't see you when I came over today...... Youning said that you took them to practice their sequence powers......"

Chen Jing snorted and nodded.

"It's always a good idea to prepare first, and when I get back to Eternal Night City, there's a Raphael waiting for me......"

"Damn, you'll kill him when you go back!" Li Mobai gritted his teeth and scolded, as if he was angry, "He is really capable!" We haven't been able to find his place until now! ”

"It's okay, I'll talk about it when I go back to the world." Chen Jing picked up the cold soda in the cup and touched Li Mobai's wine bottle, "You don't have to worry about me, you pay attention to your safety after you go back, don't plant it inexplicably." ”

"Ouch, the big guy on the list just speaks differently......" Li Mobai thought of the ranking on the list, and his heart was panicked, and he couldn't help but start to be yin and yang, "When you go back to the world, you have to cover me!" ”

"Well said." Chen Jing grinned.

After three rounds of drinking......

Actually, it didn't take long.

Less than ten minutes after the meal began, Li Mobai received more than 20 messages urging him to go to a meeting.

Chen Jing and Qiao Youning didn't dare to stay with this busy man, so they could only say goodbye to him in a hurry and let him hurry back to the city for a meeting.

"There's a lot going on with these dogs......"

Li Mobai was still scolding when he left, and when he was leaving, he shook hands with Qiao Youning, hugged his good brother Chen Jing, and then walked away with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Live well." Li Mobai only left this sentence.

Looking at Li Mobai's back as he left in a hurry, Chen Jing couldn't help but be stunned when he sat on the chair, and turned his head to look at the briefcase on the sofa.

"He doesn't go out with a brain...... The documents that were needed for the meeting were just left behind......"

"I'll go and bring it to him." Qiao Youning stood up and picked up the briefcase without waiting for Chen Jing to refuse, "You've been busy practicing all day, take advantage of the moment to rest for a while, I'll go." ”

"Okay...... Then come back quickly! I'm going back to the exam room in about ten minutes! ”

"Got it~"

……

Compared with driving back to the city, Li Mobai chose to run back directly, after all, his speed was much faster than that of a car, but his running posture was a little indecent.

If Chen Jing saw it, he would definitely complain that he was a wild monkey who was crazy in the mountains......

When Qiao Youning caught up with him, he was already about to go down the mountain.

"Package." Qiao Youning directly threw the briefcase over.

"Damn, I almost forgot...... Thank you! Li Mobai nodded with a smile and hugged the briefcase tightly with a happy face.

"Tell you something."

Qiao Youning didn't mean to leave, she stood under a tree with her hands behind her back, looking at Li Mobai who was more than ten meters away, looking a little vigilant.

"You say." Li Mobai nodded.

"I kind of know what you've been up to these days...... Ah Jing is not a fool...... He can also see it......" Qiao Youning said quietly, "So you should pay attention to yourself...... Don't get him involved......"

Li Mobai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"In what capacity are you warning me?"

"Friends." Qiao Youning replied with a smile, "Aren't you too?" ”

"Hey, you've really changed, the world has become ...... after a trip" Li Mobai shook his head helplessly.

"It's become less stupid." Qiao Youning put away the smile on her face, and her expression gradually became serious, "He doesn't like those worldly things, you should know...... But I don't think you'd do that as his friend. ”

"I know you're still asking me!" Li Mobai scolded angrily, "Do I have such a grandson!" ”

"I'm afraid that you will accidentally say something one day, after all, you also know his character, if he hears that you are in trouble and needs help, he will definitely ......"

"I know, I don't need you to remind me."

Li Mobai raised his head and glanced at the cloudless sky, only to feel that the afternoon sun was a little dazzling, and the sun made people feel inexplicably irritable.

"Anyway, how are you doing with him now?"

"What?"

"Relationship." Li Mobai seemed to remember something funny, and suddenly glanced at Qiao Youning playfully, "Don't you like him, they have been living together for almost a month now, and the relationship has not progressed at all?" ”

"It's enough to be a friend." Qiao Youning turned around and prepared to go back, as if she didn't want to continue the topic.

"I can't even understand you, you obviously like his face to death, and now you can see it every day, and you can still bear it...... Didn't even confess? ”

"I'm not as superficial as you think, I don't like him by looking at that face." Qiao Youning stopped and looked back at Li Mobai, "From the beginning of my sensibility until high school, I didn't feel respect, only he respected me and was willing to help me......"

Li Mobai lit a cigarette, but smiled and didn't speak.

He knew what Qiao Youning was like in the past, so he didn't feel strange when he heard these words.

After all, a child who is neglected by the family, coupled with an unkempt and sloppy appearance, is indeed not easy to be respected by others, or to say liked.

Adults don't like it.

The same goes for peers.

Li Mobai still remembers that Qiao Youning in high school was actually inconspicuous, and there was a huge gap between her and now...... Heavy glasses that can cover half of the face, coupled with acne on the face during puberty, dry and messy hair is always tied in a casual braid.

Can't be said to be ugly.

It can only be said that it is inconspicuous.

It's like air.

Even before the last class reunion, when he first got Qiao Youning's information, Li Mobai couldn't recognize her at first sight.

"When I was in high school, I was always treated as air, even those female classmates who seemed to have a good relationship with me, they liked to use me as a servant, and from time to time they found excuses to suppress me, saying that I was not good here or there......"

Qiao Youning seemed to be telling another person's story, but a layer of mist faintly appeared in Li Mobai's eyes, but his tone was still outrageously calm.

"You know my submissive personality at that time, I listened to what they said, because I only had their friends."

"I have tried to talk to them more than once about my family and the grievances I have suffered since I was a child, but they have never taken it to heart, and they have used it as a joke to tell others, and when I am angry, they say that I can't afford to joke and be too stingy...... In the end, I had to apologize to them. ”

Li Mobai stopped smiling, scratched his head, and his expression was a little embarrassed.

"Only Chen Jing has never done this, the first time he heard about my family from outsiders, it was my best friend who told him as a joke, everyone else laughed at me for being useless, only he handed me a note in private, first to explain me, and then to teach me how to change the status quo......"

"He does that to anyone." Li Mobai spread his hands, "As long as he doesn't hate that person too much, he will do it, and the surname Chen is a standard rotten good person, you don't know...... I feel like you're just amplifying that feeling. ”

"I don't care."

Qiao Youning was unmoved, as if she had known that this was the case, and the expression on her face was still calm.

"For so many years, he was the first person I felt respected, and the first person who was willing to listen to me and give me advice."

"So I like him, not because of his face."

"Oh, I know, I know!" Li Mobai interrupted Qiao Youning's words, and hurriedly raised his hands to show that he was wrong, "I'm cheap!" Don't worry! ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Mobai couldn't help but ask again.

"Then why don't you confess to him? Is it because you are afraid of rejection? ”

"I'm afraid."

Qiao Youning replied without hesitation.

Speaking of this, she suddenly couldn't help but laugh.

"His personality is too good, he is always afraid of causing trouble to others, and he is also afraid of accidentally hurting others, so he ...... I know he doesn't like me and just treats me as a friend, but isn't that enough? Do you have to force him to be happy? ”

"Hmm." Li Mobai lowered his head and slowly spuffed out his cigarette.

"You don't have to say it if you like it." Qiao Youning turned around and walked towards the old mansion on the mountain, her voice was very soft, as if she had no strength.

"I spent the first ten years in the shadows, and I wanted to change the status quo more than once, but not everyone is born with the courage to change their lives...... I am a wretched man, and there is something to hate. ”

Li Mobai looked at Qiao Youning's back with a complicated expression, only feeling that she looked lonely, as if she hadn't changed all these years.

"To me, he is the sun I see in the abyss, and I am so satisfied that I can go a little further by his light, and I dare not even think that I can go further...... So, what's so bad about being a friend? ”

Oh, yes.

What's so bad about being a friend.

Don't have unrealistic delusions......

Qiao Youning warned herself in her heart.

Until I went back to the old house.

Seeing the busy figure who was calling for Jegotos to help, and was running forward and after cleaning up the mess on the table, her heart suddenly softened again, and she always felt that she had a lot to say but did not have the courage.

"Hurry up and help!"

Chen Jing took a towel and frantically wiped the table, sweating profusely in a hurry, and seeing Qiao Youning come back was like seeing a savior.

"Five minutes to go back! This time it's estimated that it's another month! My dishes and chopsticks are still piled up and unwashed, and the garbage bags haven't been cleared yet......"

"Our coming and going is a momentary matter to the world, and they won't get worms in the kitchen."

Qiao Youning rolled up her sleeves and ran into the house, and the ponytail at the back of her head was also flicked around.

Although her words made sense, she finally took into account Chen Jingjie's temperament.

"Put down the rag and let me come! You go clean up the dishes! Just let Aggie dispose of the garbage! ”

"Hey! Oh yes! Aji, come here......"

Chen Jing ran into the kitchen and took out the kitchen waste bag.

"You're not going to let me eat it, are you?" Baiaji showed his head outside the gate, looking warily at the King of the Deep Sky who could give him all his loyalty.

"I see how fast you fly...... Let you take it and lose it...... What do you want......" Chen Jing smiled awkwardly.

Bai Aji raised his paw vigilantly, pointed to the ground outside the threshold, motioned for Chen Jing to put it on the ground, and then ran out more than ten meters away in an instant.

Seeing Chen Jing obediently put the garbage bag in the designated position, Bai Aji was still vigilant, and muttered "Retreat!" Withdraw! retreat", then rushed forward, flapped his wings in his garbage bag and flew away.

The sun is shining brightly in the sky.

The wind is also gentle.

It's just that the smell from the garbage bags is a bit stinky.

Maybe it's the taste of home.

"Vomit ......"

"It's so stinky......"

"I don't know if that bastard Jegotos will stink so much when he dies......"
