Shen Ming hid in the dark and quietly observed everything. He hadn't returned to the dormitory for such a long time, and someone even helped clean up the bed sheets and quilts. Xu Zhaoting was already married, so he definitely wouldn't live in the dormitory. Could it be that some comrade was thinking about his beauty?
?
Around six or seven o'clock in the evening, someone opened the door of Shen Ming's dormitory. And this person turned out to be Xu Zhaoting.
The other party looked at the somewhat messy bed and was slightly stunned. However, he quickly and skillfully made the bed clean and neatly folded the quilt.
For a grown man to do such a thing, Shen Ming couldn't understand it.
"I thought it was the snail girl. I was so happy for nothing. I didn't expect it was you!"
Shen Ming suddenly made a sound and leaned against the door frame. Looking at Xu Zhaoting who was like a good wife and loving mother, she felt an inexplicable tightening in her anus.
Xu Zhaoting was immediately startled. He turned around and saw Shen Ming. He was a little nervous at first, but mainly smiled awkwardly.
"Are you back? We haven't seen each other for a long time."
Their eyes met, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. Xu Zhaoting was obviously at a loss. In fact, he had been paying attention to Shen Ming's activities over the years, and knew that he and Shen Ming were now people in two different worlds.
"You saved my life. I don't know how I can repay you. Although it's not worth mentioning, I still feel that I should do something."
Xu Zhaoting said a little embarrassed.
Shen Ming took a careful look at the current Xu Zhaoting, who was wearing a straight suit, hair styled with oil and wax, and symbolically wearing gold-rimmed glasses. Looking at the other person, and then at himself, Shen Ming had always seemed to be a real person.
Feeling wrong.
Xu Zhaoting obviously noticed Shen Ming's gaze. He walked forward and raised his hand to pat Shen Ming's shoulder. However, before the song came down, he took it back. He hesitated a little and even said tentatively: "It's not easy to see you."
On the other hand, you have to let me treat you to a meal, right?"
"Let's go get some skewers! I just want to drink some wine..."
Shen Ming raised his hand and patted Xu Zhaoting's shoulder, then turned around and walked out of the dormitory. For some reason, Shen Ming felt a little uncomfortable looking at Xu Zhaoting now.
…
At the barbecue stall on the roadside, Shen Ming and Xu Zhaoting were eating skewers and drinking beer. I remember that the last time they had skewers and drank together was two years ago.
"Go one!"
"You probably don't know that Zhou Min from your class held an alumni association last year. Everyone originally wanted to invite you and Mo Fan to go, but you two were so good that you went directly to the World University Competition. You even got a
Champion, you don’t even know how many people would envy us when we went out to work and told people that Mo Fan and Shen Ming were our former classmates?”
Xu Zhaoting seemed to be a little drunk. Compared with his previous reserved posture, he was now very relaxed.
The two of them talked freely together and talked about many things from the past.
"When I think of high school now, I think of you who never went to class. Sometimes I wonder why you went to high school? If you don't listen to classes, what's the use of going to high school? I still look down on you in my heart.
...Now I understand that some people are destined to be different!"
Xu Zhaoting's face glowed red and he patted Shen Ming's shoulder heavily. He was happy from the bottom of his heart. He was happy for Shen Ming.
Xu Zhaoting is different from others. He hopes that Shen Ming will always be tall, preferably as high as possible, as high as the clouds.
People say that debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay, but Xu Zhaoting thinks differently from others. He just doesn't want to repay this debt, and it would be best not to repay it for the rest of his life. Because he feels that if Shen Ming needs his help one day,
Then maybe this guy in the cloud should have fallen into the quagmire?
"At that time, it was mainly to hide from Teacher Tang Yue... Forget it, let's not mention it. How have you been in these years? Looking at the neat suit, is it possible that you are no longer a magician? You have become a civil servant?" Shen Ming looked at it jokingly.
Looking at the other party, he couldn't help but think of the fact that Xu Zhaoting was once a genius, and even regretted that he shouldn't have saved the other party?
Is dying in a heroic way what Xu Zhaoting really wants?
"So be it! There are very few things related to monsters in the Magic City. I am currently working in the Pearl Master Tower as the security supervisor, but who dares to cause trouble in the Pearl Master Tower? It feels like a civilian job! Fortunately, the salary is good.
Gao, Lulu is pregnant, and milk powder is not cheap." Xu Zhaoting couldn't help but smile even brighter. He felt that his life was very happy. If he really died in that warehouse, it might have satisfied his passionate heart, but
But lost happiness.
"Really? I have to congratulate you well. I didn't expect that you would become a father so soon and I would become an uncle? I stay with Mo Fan's guys all day long and I thought I haven't grown up yet.
Big." Shen Ming laughed. Time really passed too fast. In the blink of an eye, someone had already started a family, married a wife and had children.
"yes!"
Xu Zhaoting shrugged and breathed a sigh of relief. There will always be regrets in life. Not everyone can live the way they want to live.
"When you get older, you have to compromise on some things. No one in this world can do whatever they want. Life will force you to make choices. You understand everything.
Shen Ming, how should I put it... I've been like this all my life, but I want to see you go further. I don't want to overshadow you! I just think that if there is someone I know, a friend, I can achieve it.
My ideal, then I seem to have a sense of participation."
Xu Zhaoting scratched the back of his head, feeling that these words were a bit embarrassing.
However, Shen Ming looked at the other party extremely seriously, feeling slightly complicated.
"Don't look at me like that. Are you pitying me? This is my choice, not to become a great magician, but to choose to be an ordinary person! There is nothing wrong with it... I am a husband and a
The father of the child cannot take risks. The moment I chose to get married, I knew clearly. I had lost the courage to become a strong man!
That day in the warehouse, I was actually scared. I was not afraid of death, but I just felt very sorry for Lulu.
Thank you for saving my life. I will never be able to repay it in my life. You don’t want to repay it! I want you to stay like this and not need me to repay your debt, so you can continue to be excellent!"
"Dry!"
Xu Zhaoting raised his wine glass and looked at Shen Ming with a smile, but tears wetted his eyes at some point.
Xu Zhaoting raised his sleeves and wiped away his tears. He looked into Shen Ming's eyes and stared hard. He wanted to see his dream. This was the person he wanted to be! A powerful magician, a person who attracted much attention.
genius!
"Dry!"
Shen Ming raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. He came to this world and had never been drunk because of drinking, but today he wanted to get drunk.
…
Early the next morning, Shen Ming woke up from bed with a groggy head and found that he had returned to the dormitory at some time. On the table next to him were two hangover pills and a note left by Xu Zhaoting.
Shen Ming smiled and shook his head. Xu Zhaoting was a good drinking buddy. A lot of things happened during this period, and Shen Ming was never idle. A hangover can really make people forget a lot of things.
Good and bad, under the fermentation of alcohol, maybe those don't matter anymore.
"Why don't we discuss with those two girls some other time about having a child?" Shen Ming chuckled and even blushed a little at the thought.
Just when Shen Ming was in a daze, someone forced him into the dormitory.
"Mingzi... why does it smell like alcohol? You bastard, drank secretly and didn't call me?"
Mo Fan rushed into the dormitory in a hurry and looked at Shen Ming with an angry look on his face.
"Don't you know how to knock on the door? I'm so broke now that I can't afford to knock on the door!"
Shen Ming rolled his eyes at this guy angrily. He was lamenting his life, but this idiot directly disrupted his rhythm.
Alas! With Mo Fan, life is never short of excitement.
"Principal Xiao came to us to discuss graduation. Aren't we still short of an outstanding graduate assessment? I just made a breakthrough. You guys will definitely not fight me. I also want to try my skills for this graduation task.
It came just in time!”
Mo Fan seemed a little excited. How could she care about what happened before? Even if she cared about it, she would never show it.
Mo Fan is such a person. All difficulties in front of him are not difficulties, and all sadness will not stay for three seconds. Optimism and bravery, for most people, they will only stay in other people's stories, or the beauty in textbooks.
This guy has all the qualities!
This may be the charm of Mo Fan!
Under Mo Fan's tug, Shen Ming simply washed up and followed this guy out of the dormitory.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the dormitory, they bumped into Mu Nujiao. This girl actually appeared in front of the boys' dormitory, obviously looking for someone.
Mo Fan and Shen Ming looked at each other, but before they could say anything, Mu Nujiao walked over with a cold face, looked at the two people and asked in a low voice: "Grandpa is dead, many people are dead, this matter
Does it have anything to do with you two?"
There was no sadness on Mu Nujiao's face, and the two of them didn't know what the other was thinking, but they fell silent at the same time.
This question is indeed difficult to answer. People from the four major families in Magic City were involved, and I think there are not many people alive. As for how the other party found out that it was related to me, it should be a guess! After all, it is not difficult to guess through some clues.
"I'm just a little person, how can I get involved in the family's affairs?" Mo Fan said in a haha manner. He was not involved in this matter, so he was not lying.
Mu Nujiao glanced at the two of them suspiciously, but did not argue too much. She just said: "Forget it, I won't tell you if I know. The principal asked me to come and see if you fell into the pit?
