Last time, the whole class came to Yuebanwan for a gathering, but this time it was Wu Tao who treated them privately. The guests were all those who had played well before, and the atmosphere was more relaxed than usual. There was no need to deliberately heat up the atmosphere with some boring games. Although a few people

After entering the senior year of high school, we became a lot estranged, but we didn't have nothing to talk about.

Yu Yiran was almost exhausted from the college entrance examination. As soon as he entered the room, he held on to the microphone, howling like ghosts and wolves, not even a line of the song was in tune, and was kicked out by everyone. Xu Xilin suddenly had a whim, and he clicked a few words.

This is a song that "Headphone Master" Dou Xun often plays solo. He puts the microphone into Dou Xun's hand and says, "Come and sing."

For a moment, the private room was quiet.

Last time they made a joke and forced Dou Xun to sing, which almost made people angry. Lao Cheng looked at Xu Xilin in shock, as if he was a fat rabbit that had pulled a tiger's beard!

Wu Tao remembered that he was leading the treat this time to seek reconciliation, and he coughed quickly: "Uh, um..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Dou Xun took the phone.

Wu Tao: "..."

Dou Xun had never sung in public before. Even during the Monday flag-raising ceremony, he would lip-sync casually. He turned the microphone off and on. Before he had time to study it, the song had already passed. He raised the microphone in a panic.

, I didn’t know what volume to use, so I fumbled and hummed a few words. When I turned around, I found Xu Xilin looking at him. A layer of sweat broke out on my back due to nervousness. I quickly looked away and stared at the subtitles on the screen expressionlessly.

, it’s like doing “lyrics reading comprehension”.

In the first half of the song, Dou Xun was a little unable to keep up with the rhythm. Once he entered the chorus, it became clear that he could sing much better.

Xu Xilin was afraid that he would be embarrassed if he couldn't talk to others, so he ordered a few songs for him. After a while, Dou Xun quickly mastered the karaoke skills and found the fun. He started ordering songs for himself. He didn't take it in vain.

He is good at singing earphones and can sing a few lines of everything. Although he is not very skilled, for KTV standards, anything that is not out of tune is considered a good one. From time to time, someone will give him a round of applause.

Wu Tao breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed and leaned back on the sofa, turned to Xu Xilin and said, "He seems to be much easier to talk to now."

Xu Xilin rejected the cigarette he offered and smiled.

Wu Tao looked at him in a dimly lit place and found that Xu Xilin had also changed a lot. He had not bothered to trim his hair for a while. The college entrance examination was approaching and no one cared about such minutiae. He had also lost a lot of weight and did not talk so much.

, the eyes covered by the overlapping light and shadow of the private room seemed to be covered with a layer of worry.

Xu Xilin: "Congratulations, we are still reviewing hard, but you are basically inseparable."

"What is there to congratulate?" Wu Tao said in a very niche English love song by Dou Xun, "With my level, it is unrealistic to be a professional athlete. Our family wants me to go to a normal school.

I'm looking for someone who can come back and be a physical education teacher, and then I will become someone like Lao Zhu, which is boring to think about."

Lao Zhu is their physical education teacher, a middle-aged man in his fifties. His wife dumped him because she thought he was incompetent. He wears sportswear all year round and has no one to take care of him. His pants never seem to be clean.

Since he had too little authority to be a serious physical education teacher, the school had no choice but to let him take a group of kids to play during the activity class. The boys had already dispersed and rushed to the stadium, while the girls were better behaved and didn't run around.

I was playing with the sandbags nearby. If the sandbags leaked, I went to see Lao Zhu nearby. He was standing next to me, holding up the rubber bands while sewing.

Wu Tao smiled bitterly: "I can't even sew sandbags."

"Why do you have to be a physical education teacher?" Xu Xilin looked away from Dou Xun's back and glanced at Wu Tao, "Wouldn't it be good to do business in the sporting goods industry in the future? Or just find a gym or sports activity center.

You can work as a personal trainer or something, you can make a lot of money easily, and you can meet a lot of people."

"That's not a serious job. Physical education teachers are organized." Wu Tao laughed, "You don't understand. Besides, how much money can you make by leading people to do gymnastics in a small private restaurant? Isn't that similar to that of a beauty salon?"

"

Xu Xilin wanted to say that a good coach in his community would cost more than 200 an hour. But after thinking about it, he felt that it was pointless to say it, as if he was showing off how much he knew. Besides, even if it was 200 an hour, there was no way to prepare it.

So he said politely and perfunctorily: "Yes, it is safe to be a teacher."

In high school, everyone was sitting in the same classroom studying, some were good at studying and some were weak, but no matter what their grades were, they would still play and make trouble together after class, as if no one was any different from anyone else. At this moment, Xu Xilin suddenly

I feel an inexplicable force that makes the gap between people's ideas wider and wider. In the future, they will go in opposite directions, drift apart, and lead completely different lives.

Wu Tao stood up and came back after a while after ordering drinks.

Xu Xilin: "..."

It's easy to change a country, but it's hard to change one's nature. Wu Tao is still very stubborn.

Lao Cheng screamed and was about to reach out, but Xu Xilin slapped him back: "Are you looking for death? There are evening self-study classes tonight, let the Qili Xiang smell it and peel off your skin."

Wu Tao threw a bottle of mineral water to Lao Cheng: "Don't drink it. I won't start self-study next week, so I don't have to go at night. This is some for Dou Xun."

Xu Xilin: "No..."

Wu Tao turned to him and asked: "Excuse me, please, can I offer a toast to Daxian Dou?"

Xu Xilin couldn't say anything at this time. I just felt that Wu Tao was more mature, but now he still seems very annoying.

Even if we agree not to drink, everyone still inevitably drinks some in the end.

Dou Xun didn't know whether he was in a good mood or a bad mood. He was particularly talkative that night. When Wu Tao came over with a drink, he really took it and took it immediately. This man couldn't speak, let alone play tricks.

Let Wu Tao control the rhythm. Wu Tao would touch him after saying a few words, and Dou Xun, that silly roe deer, would take a sip of his own accord after touching his glass without being asked to let him go.

Xu Xilin covered his face, feeling that he might have to carry Dou Xun back later.

Then I drank too much.

In the evening, Wu Tao drank so much that he laughed so hard that he couldn't stop laughing. Dou Xun's eyes were a little straight. Xu Xilin had no choice but to say: "Let's break up. You go back to school first and send Brother Tao to the dormitory.

I'll take that one home first...it's okay, I won't tell you whether I'm going to Qilixiang for self-study in the evening."

Dou Xun was quite well-behaved after drinking too much. He was neither noisy nor fussy, but a little dull - he was usually not very clever. Xu Xilin dismissed them, took Dou Xun to the bathroom to vomit, and gave him a bottle

I rinsed my mouth with mineral water and wanted to criticize him. Later, when I saw his incomprehensible virtue, I felt that it was all in vain, so I shut up and sat with him silently for a while.

Dou Xun's face was red from drinking, and even the tip of his nose and eyes were red, as if he had just cried. He looked a little pitiful. He followed Xu Xilin for a few steps and suddenly grabbed his hand.

Xu Xilin's fingers curled up uncomfortably.

Dou Xun: "I feel uncomfortable."

Xu Xilin: "Didn't you vomit completely?"

Dou Xun shook his head, then kept grabbing his hand with both claws, and actually squatted down on the spot, staying there and not moving away!

Xu Xilin bent down and looked at his face: "What's wrong with you? Your stomach?"

Dou Xun shook his head.

Xu Xilin: "Dizziness?"

Dou Xun still shook his head. He had an angry look on his face, and he shook his head no matter what he asked, but would not move.

There were more and more guests at the end of the moon, and everyone who came in or out had to look at them both.

Xu Xilin suddenly felt like he was leading a mentally retarded child, and said to Dou Xun: "Get up first, we are blocking their way."

Dou Xun still shook his head. Xu Xilin had no choice but to stand up and walk aside. Dou Xun grabbed his hand and refused to stand up. He squatted on the ground and was dragged along by him - luckily the half-curved floor was smooth.

Xu Xilin dragged for a while, feeling that the two of them were like sled dogs pulling a cart, and stopped helplessly: "What on earth are you going to do?"

Dou Xun squatted on the ground and looked up at him. There seemed to be tears in his eyes. Then, as if he had been caught peeping, he lowered his head guiltily and whispered: "I feel... uncomfortable."

Xu Xilin: "..."

Xu Xilin stood helpless on the wall for a moment, then looked at Dou Xun, and could only see a hair curl. Dou Xun's long eyelashes were drooping, and he seemed to be trembling slightly uneasily, which was very pitiful.

Xu Xilin couldn't stand it after just one glance. The thought he had suppressed that day finally came out again and scratched his heart.

Xu Xilin felt that he had not too much, but his steps were a little shaky, and an idea broke through the boundaries of the city of thought and crossed the border.

He thought: "Do I like Dou Xun?"

To him, Dou Xun was different from others.

When the spring breeze is good, everyone is his friend - Lao Cheng is short-sighted, Cai Jing's family situation is not good, Wu Tao always hangs out with that group of unscrupulous people, Dou Xun may be beaten if he doesn't deal with people even if he says three words.

When I got up, I was still the heroic girl who knew how to use bricks to play with people since she was a child. Every time she went out to play, Xu Xilin would also ask her to send him a text message to report that she was safe when she got home - to her friends, he

They are all taken care of the same.

But when he was experiencing the greatest pain in his nearly eighteen years of life, other people were isolated from his emotions. He would not talk to others, and would not even show it at school... because they

After all, he is an outsider.

Only Dou Xun stayed with him and shared his joys and sorrows. He was from...their family.

Xu Xilin sighed, feeling that he was stepping on a very dangerous place. He bent down, held Dou Xun's armpits with both hands, and pulled him up from the ground. He grabbed Dou Xun's collar and led him stumblingly.

The aggrieved ard went home.

In the bathroom where Dou Xun had vomited just now, Li Bozhi slowly opened the stall door.

He also drank. Just now, when Wu Tao was helped out by his group of "good-study" friends, Li Bozhi was watching from the box next door.

Li Bozhi's family is a bit similar to Cai Jing's, but his father is his biological father and his mother ran away with someone else. When he first passed the No. 6 Middle School exam, his father also bragged about him outside for a few days and even personally carried his luggage to send him here.

After entering school, for a while, Li Bozhi really wanted to make a name for himself.

Unfortunately, wishes are beautiful, but reality is cruel. He soon discovered that, let alone "reading some tricks", it was a fantasy, and it was very difficult to even compete in the school team. His dad was so fresh.

, seeing that he had no other achievements, he gave up on him again.

After Li Bozhi became depressed, he decided to start "hanging out". After a day of being majestic and majestic, he was so happy that he could temporarily forget about fear and being alone, and just focus on the present. Not only did he hang out by himself, but he also brought a bunch of friends to hang out with him.

At this time, Li Bozhi felt that he had been betrayed by his best friend.

Aren’t we tacitly hanging out together? Aren’t we hopeless together, trying to keep each other warm and flouting all the rules? Fighting together today, and living next door to each other in jail tomorrow is loyalty - how can you change your ways?

Because of Wu Tao, Li Bozhi occasionally played with people in the first class. At that time, except that the people in the key class were too soft and boring, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. As graduation approached, as he became more and more anxious, Li Bozhi

He began to become more and more intolerable of Wu Tao being with the group of people, and his anxiety fueled his jealousy. He led a group of people to follow Wu Tao and the others to Yuebanwan, where he drowned his sorrows in alcohol all afternoon.

"What's the matter, Brother Li, is there a festival?" A young man with yellow hair came up and asked - they were all the gangsters he met when he was skipping classes.

Li Bozhi's eyes swept across his face, and he impulsively said: "I'll help you do something for me, and I'll treat you to a drink another day."

Xu Xilin led a Dou Xun away from Yuebanwan. It was very lively outside at this time, and everyone was dancing around with demons. After walking around for a while and unable to get a taxi, Xu Xilin hesitated and planned to try his luck at the back door. He went against the flow of people.

While crossing the path, he said to Dou Xun: "I want to vomit and talk."

Dou Xun didn't say a word, and he opened Xu Xilin's hand in a rude manner, insisting on inserting his fingers into it, making a gesture of interlocking their fingers.

Xu Xilin was itching between his fingers. When he wanted to pull out, the two of them started tugging in a small space.

Just when Xu Xilin's patience was about to run out, suddenly, several unknown gangsters came over in front of the path. Xu Xilin wanted to drag Dou Xun out of the way, but the gangster bumped into him on purpose.

Xu Xilin took half a step back and frowned. When he saw the gangster looking at him provocatively, he knew that they were deliberately causing trouble. He pulled Dou Xun sideways and glanced in the direction behind him with his peripheral vision. Sure enough, he saw several people.

Follow him. Firstly, he drank some wine and was so teased by Dou Xun that his forehead was sweating. Secondly, Xu Xilin had never offended anyone, so he didn't notice it for a moment.

Xu Xilin: "Is something wrong?"

The little bastard looked him up and down, his eyes fell on his sneakers, he said "tsk tsk" twice, put one hand in his pocket, and moved his hand in the pocket threateningly.

"It's okay," the gangster said, "I'm a bit tight on money. Seeing that you think I'm destined, I'd like to get to know you and borrow some money."

If it were a year ago, the other party would probably not be able to finish what he said, and Master Xu would have already taken action. But it is different now. The first thing he thinks about is that it is better to do less than to do more. He cannot let his grandmother worry about him, and there is also a cat beside him.

take care of.

"It's easy to tell." Xu Xilin felt in his bag, took out his wallet, and shook it, "How much do you want, buddy?"

The gangster looked at him with a dead smile: "It doesn't take much, just give me ten thousand or twenty thousand flowers first."

This means he is determined to find trouble.

Xu Xilin smiled and looked around: "You guys blocked me in this small alley on the west side, and you followed us when we went out, right? Tell me, who did I offend?"

The gangster said with a playful smile: "No one likes you and wants to chat with you."

As he spoke, he took his hand out of his pocket and took out a palm-long folding knife. He popped it out and retracted it to play with. He raised his chin and said, "It's not convenient to talk here. Let's go in and have a couple of drinks."

How about it?"

As he finished speaking, a hand covered with tattoos was placed on Xu Xilin's shoulder from behind.

Xu Xilin secretly breathed out and resisted the urge to turn around and kick him. Unexpectedly, before he had time to speak, Dou Xun, who had been following him obediently, suddenly stopped. He stepped forward and pulled the hand off his shoulder, fiercely.

It fell and fell onto the face of the tattooed man.

The ard has great strength, so the tattooed man was caught off guard and slapped by him, and he immediately became angry: "Don't show me your face!"

Xu Xilin: "..."

It can really cause chaos.

Seeing that nothing could be done, he had no choice but to take action. Xu Xilin took his schoolbag in his hand and gave the tattooed man a kick, right on his side. There were no ribs on his side, which was one of his vital points. Before the man had time to pounce, he kicked him first.

He sat down on the ground in pain, Xu Xilin turned around and pushed Dou Xun: "Let's go first!"

But the bean paste didn't cooperate at all. Instead of leaving, he rushed forward and hugged Xu Xilin like an octopus.

Xu Xilin was caught off guard by him and took three steps back, hitting the wall of the path. He was so mad that he wished he could turn Dou Xun upside down to empty his mind of the alcohol and ask where this kid was from.

Dou Xun pushed him against the wall, turned his back to Xu Xilin without saying a word, and opened his arms to block him behind him, just like a hawk catching a chicken.

Xu Xilin: "..."

Dou Xun may have wanted to say something, opened his mouth, but probably forgot the words again, so the ard stuck in the alley, maintaining this silly protective action, and faced off against a group of gangsters.

"Where does this idiot come from? Beat him!"

Xu Xilin was moved and anxious. At this moment, there was a loud noise at the end of the path, and a tall man walked in, holding a stick in his hand and knocking on the trash can at the intersection.

People in the alley looked over together, and someone whispered: "Song Lianyuan."

When the little gangster met the big gangster, the one with the knife started to get nervous.

Song Lianyuan lit a cigarette and said slowly: "We are all friends. It's okay to have two drinks. However, my brother is a senior in high school this year. He comes home late and the family is worried. Do you all understand?"

A group of gangsters dare not not understand.

Song Lianyuan smiled and waved to Xu Xilin: "Xiao Lin, come here. I'll call a car to take you home."

The gangster blocking the road reluctantly gave way, and Xu Xilin breathed a sigh of relief.

When he just took out his wallet, he dialed Song Lianyuan's number. Song Lianyuan went to work in the middle of the month. Calling him was more effective than calling the police.

Song Lianyuan sent them both to the taxi, reached out and flicked Xu Xilin's forehead: "Aunt Xu is gone, no one cares about you anymore, right? How long have you been here to play?"

Xu Xilin has regarded him as his eldest brother since he was a child and did not dare to say a word.

Dou Xun quit, and pulled Xu Xilin's shoulders with all his teeth and claws, covered his forehead with his hand, and glared at Song Lianyuan.

Song Lianyuan made him laugh: "Young boy is still drinking. He doesn't even know his last name anymore. He still knows how to protect you."

Xu Xilin's face almost turned red with embarrassment. He hurriedly said goodbye to him and put Dou Xun into the taxi.

After much effort, he managed to drag Dou Xun home. As soon as he opened the door, he looked face to face with the gray parrot in the living room on the first floor.

As soon as the gray parrot woke up, he opened his eyes and saw two en "stinky men". He was so angry that he screamed at the top of his lungs with the words "Catch the gangsters".

Dou Xun was frightened by this and did not see clearly where the enemy was coming from. He hugged Xu Xilin in a panic and was ready to fight with the bird while pressing Xu Xilin's hand gently or hard.
Chapter completed!
