On a hot summer day, the four men in the dormitory were playing with the air conditioner and hiding in front of their desks playing with computers and mobile phones.
Chen Jinze, who was sitting at the first desk after entering the door, was browsing the school network and suddenly stared at the screen with a look of disbelief on his face.
He leaned back with his left leg on the table and called to the others, "Brothers, come and see."
Lu Xiaochuan, who was playing with his cell phone next door, raised his head and glanced casually. His uncaring gaze suddenly froze.
The other three people's chattering discussions and sour jokes could be heard in my ears.
However, he was in a trance and his mind went blank.
Until Chen Jinze took his arm, shook it, and asked jokingly: "Is this Fang Mengting from your class?"
Lu Xiaochuan came back to his senses, smiled stiffly, nodded and said, "Ah, yes, he is from our class."
Chen Jinze didn't seem to notice that he was unnatural, and said in a somewhat envious tone: "Damn it, it's great to have money. I can chase the girl I like. There are only red roses all over the floor, and I can't get them for thousands of dollars."
.”
Lu Xiaochuan looked at the computer screen.
On the screen, Fang Mengting and a handsome boy were standing among the red roses on the ground. The two were holding hands, and a circle of classmates around them applauded them. Looking at the background, it should be the small square in front of the girls' dormitory.
"I'm going to smoke a cigarette."
Lu Xiaochuan suddenly felt a severe chest tightness, picked up the soft cloud that Chen Jinze had placed on the desk, and walked towards the balcony.
Seeing this, Chen Jinze hurriedly shouted: "Don't you don't smoke? I only have two pills left, leave me a sip."
Lu Xiaochuan seemed not to have heard anything. He opened the door and immediately closed it, as if he was afraid that the air conditioning in the dormitory would escape.
balcony.
Compared to the cool temperature in the house, this place is simply a big oven with an opening.
Lu Xiaochuan lit a cigarette, leaned on the railing, and looked towards the girls' dormitory building not far away.
He started to like Fang Mengting when he was a freshman. To be precise, it was during the military training in the first semester of his freshman year.
In military training, it is inevitable to perform talents.
After being teased by the boys in his class, he collaborated with Fang Mengting on a song called "Little Lucky".
The performance that night was very successful. Lu Xiaochuan played the guitar very well and Fang Mengting's singing was equally beautiful.
In the following days, when the two met occasionally, Fang Mengting would always smile at him, and sometimes she would take the initiative to say hello to Lu Xiaochuan.
The feeling Fang Mengting gave him made him mistakenly think that Fang Mengting had a little interest in him.
From then on, Lu Xiaochuan became uncontrollably identified with this girl. He didn't know it at the time. Sometimes, she/he liked me, which was just the wishful thinking of some stupid young people.
Of course, Lu Xiaochuan is not a licking dog. He is worse than a licking dog. So far, he has not even dared to take the initiative to attack.
Every time he gave something to Fang Mengting, he had to give it to the other three people in their dormitory together. Of course, it wasn't anything expensive, just some snacks and hometown specialties.
Lu Xiaochuan is from a single-parent family, and his family's income is average, so he is really helpless.
Freshman year, both of them are single, and they still smile and nod and say hello when they meet occasionally. This feeling is actually quite good.
Lu Xiaochuan even thought that when he waited for the senior graduation prom, he would definitely invite Fang Mengting to collaborate again, and then, in front of everyone in the class, holding flowers in his hand, he would kneel down on one knee and confess his love to her.
However, what he didn't expect was that Fang Mengting would just start her sophomore year...
Lu Xiaochuan blew out a smoke ring and looked at the girls' dormitory building in the distance, feeling indescribably uncomfortable.
It's like something you love was suddenly taken away.
Especially the scene of Fang Mengting holding hands with that boy, looking shy, flashed through his mind from time to time, making him even more distressed.
He suddenly remembered something said by a certain 'scumbag' internet celebrity: When you are not sure whether a girl likes you, then she just doesn't like you.
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Lu Xiaochuan's mouth.
Although I haven't been in love yet, I feel the pain of falling out of love in advance without even thinking about it.
It's quite pitiful when you think about it.
The most important thing is that Fang Mengting is his 'first love'...
The glass door behind him was pushed open, and Chen Jinze walked out in flip-flops, picked up the cigarette box next to the sink, and put the last cigarette in his mouth.
"Oh, I really envy those rich people. It cost me three months of food expenses just to confess my feelings casually. Damn it!"
Lu Xiaochuan took two steps to the side and made room for Chen Jinze.
Chen Jinze lay on the railing, spat downstairs, turned around and asked: "What's going on with you kid? Don't you don't smoke?"
Lu Xiaochuan looked at the half-burned cigarette in his hand and shook his head, indicating that he did not want to speak.
Chen Jinze took a puff of cigarette, glanced at Lu Xiaochuan, and said: "That guy's name is Sun Zhengyu, a native of Jinling. His family is very rich. He drives to and from school in his freshman year. He has had countless girlfriends. The girl in your class is
Yeah, I’m afraid it won’t be long before we get better with him.”
Lu Xiaochuan frowned slightly, feeling even more confused.
Chen Jinze pointed to a Mercedes-Benz C200 in the parking lot downstairs and said: "That's that car. I heard that the full price was more than 300,000 yuan."
Lu Xiaochuan glanced at it, with a wry smile on his lips.
It was a silver-gray Mercedes-Benz with a large roundabout. Although it was not a luxury car worth more than 300,000 yuan, it was already an elusive luxury for a loser like him.
His father bought a second-hand Volkswagen Tiguan L last year for the convenience of work. For the 200,000 yuan, Lao Lu frowned for more than half a month before he made up his mind to apply for an installment loan.
Compared with others, I am nothing.
"Brother, be more open-minded. This is how society is. There is no need to get too entangled."
Chen Jinze seemed to comfort or sigh, patted Lu Xiaochuan's shoulder, and threw the cigarette butt into the eight-treasure porridge jar under the railing.
Only then did Lu Xiaochuan realize that the cigarette in his hand had burned to the filter, and he threw the cigarette butt in.
He really didn't have any addiction to smoking. He took one puff from beginning to end without even entering his lungs.
Chen Jinze put his arm around his shoulders and said, "It's past four o'clock. Are you going to play ball?"
Lu Xiaochuan was about to speak.
[Ding, the opposite-sex consumption reverse critical attack system is starting!]

determination.】
Lu Xiaochuan's expression changed, and his raised right foot slowly came down.
Chen Jinze looked back and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"
Lu Xiaochuan shook his head, thinking he was hearing hallucinations, scratched his ears, and went into the house to change equipment.
···
After the brothers changed their clothes and sneakers, they took a basketball and knocked on the doors of the dormitories next door.
A group of boys came to the basketball court downstairs.
The sun had not yet set at this time, and waves of scorching air were steaming from the stadium.
After throwing a few balls and warming up, a 5V5 game officially started.
Those present were all members of the basketball team, including freshmen and juniors.
There are only two sophomores, Chen Jinze and Lu Xiaochuan. The main reason is that their talent has withered this year. Lu Xiaochuan is the tallest among the dwarfs. His skills are not good, but he is tall enough to make up for it. He is 185cm tall and plays center. Who can argue with him?
go?
"Xiaochuan, how many times have I told you, after grabbing the rebound, remember to hold the ball firmly. If you are grabbed again, you will do 50 push-ups."
The speaker was captain Li Fei, a junior who is not tall but not very skilled. He is not only a member of the department team, but also the main point guard of the school basketball team.
Lu Xiaochuan couldn't shoot well or handle the ball well. He relied on his strong explosive power and bouncing dunks to barely gain a foothold in the team. This was thanks to Li Fei's tireless teachings.
So, facing Li Fei's shouting, Lu Xiaochuan smiled awkwardly, "My, my."
Bang bang bang!
The basketball roared on the floor.
"Here, here..."
"Pass the ball!"
"pretty!"
The boys shouted loudly to convey the signal.
After a while, some spectators gradually appeared on both sides of the stadium.
There are boys in the east and girls in the west. There is a clear sense of sight.
This is a pastime before dinner. Every time someone plays a game on the court, it always attracts some people to watch.
After all, the court is right in the middle of the boys' and girls' dormitories.
call out!
Li Fei hit a three-pointer, and the score was 51:36.
"Ten minutes of rest."
Lu Xiaochuan picked up the basketball out of breath and looked at Chen Jinze who was already hopeless. This kid was 178cm tall and could only play guard. During the confrontation with Li Fei just now, he was basically beaten by Li Fei. At this time, the comparison
He is still panting.
Chen Jinze sat down directly on the hot concrete floor, sticking out his tongue like a local dog and said: "I, I can't anymore, help me up, quickly, quickly..."
Lu Xiaochuan walked over funny and helped him up.
To be honest, a competition of this intensity is just like playing for him. Although his skills are not good, he follows Lao Lu to the construction site to pull cables and move cement every time he is on vacation. His physical strength and endurance are not generally good, and this is also
The main reason why Li Fei thinks so highly of him.
According to Li Fei.
If Lu Xiaochuan could have been exposed to basketball in junior high school and practiced the basics well, he would definitely be a member of the school team now.
The two of them sat on a mat in a shady place under a tree.
Not far from the stadium entrance, two girls walked in carrying a box of mineral water.
Chen Jinze chuckled and said, "It's finally here. I'm dying of thirst."
Lu Xiaochuan looked at the two girls, especially the quiet girl with gold-rimmed glasses, with some sympathy and confusion in his eyes.
That girl is the suitor of captain Li Fei. Starting from this year, maybe earlier, whenever Li Fei is playing on the court, she will appear, carrying a whole box of mineral water every time to give out benefits.
A box of mineral water is not expensive, more than 20 yuan, but you can’t afford to give it away every day.
"I really don't understand." Although Lu Xiaochuan said this, he still honestly reached out and took a bottle of water.
The person who delivered the water was another girl. She was short in stature and a bit old-fashioned, not to mention her good looks.
"Thanks."
The girl glanced at Lu Xiaochuan and smiled sweetly, if only her teeth weren't too yellow.
【bite!】
[Crit trigger, 1 yuan consumption rebate from Huang Tingting, sincerity index 1.2%, reverse critical hit 120 times! 】
[It is detected that the host has only one bank account, which has been bound... 120 yuan has been received, please check it. 】
Lu Xiaochuan: "..."
His eyes fell on the text message prompt box that popped up on the phone screen.
