"Why?"

"Why?" You Bing raised an octave subconsciously, "Do you know how much I pay for a taxi every time I go back to school. I have to come back to class twice a week, once and twice It costs 1000." She deliberately exaggerated, "More than [-] yuan. Let me tell you, I won't go back today, I will live in the school, and tomorrow, I just have classes. After that, if you don't reimburse the fare, No, if you don't send a car to pick me up, I still won't go back."

"You want to break the contract..."

You Bing interrupted Tan Zongming and said, "I didn't mean not to go back. I don't have any money with me. What can I do? Let me tell you, I only have a few steel coins all over my body."

There was silence on the other side of the phone, and You Bing felt that the other party might have found out because of his conscience. After she said this, she felt much better. It was really cool, and it would be even better if she could scold him.

Soon there was no sound on the other end of the phone. You Bing looked at the screen of the phone and saw that the other party had already hung up. She cut the phone and put the phone away.

"Xiao Tan, what are you doing, come on, come on, I'll show you something new today."

Tan Zongming ignored the person behind him, and made another call, "I've already contacted her, so don't worry about it. Also, if you see Shen Liyao, tell him for me, and hurry up."

The people over there responded respectfully.

Tan Zongming put down his phone, and when he turned his head, he saw white hair and a big face that suddenly appeared out of the corner of his eye, which startled him.He subconsciously took two steps back and patted his chest.

"Old Zheng, what are you doing?"

Zheng Shizu looked at him with a smile, as if he wanted to see through him. "The voice is so sweet and delicate, is it your girlfriend?"

Tan Zongming shook his head speechlessly, "What a gossip old man."

Zheng Shizu put his hand behind Tan Zongming, and then took out a kaleidoscope as if by magic. "This is a very magical thing. There are all kinds of worlds in it. It is very wonderful. Do you want to see it?" Zheng Shizu had a smile on his face that he would have when he was tempted by a child. .

Tan Zongming smiled, took the kaleidoscope in his hand, turned it around twice and said, "This kaleidoscope is broken."

Zheng Shizu took the kaleidoscope back very seriously, and looked at it seriously, "I have asked someone to repair it."

Tan Zongming said: "No matter how well it is repaired, there are still cracks. It's not that you don't have money. You can enter the VIP room of a high-level chess club, but can't you afford a small kaleidoscope? Also, although I am much younger than you, But I'm not a child."

Zheng Shizu looked at the kaleidoscope sadly, "You really look like a person..."

"Stop!" The reason why Tan Zongming accepted his invitation was firstly because he was invited to play for free, and secondly because he needed to relax, and the other party was an elder who would look at him kindly.He was not in the mood to hear the other party say that he was like his son, but he was greedy for that loving look.The feeling of being looked at by that kind of eyes, he thought he would never have it again.

Tan Zongming said in a cold voice: "I'm just a stranger. We only meet each other because of fate. When I come out to play chess, drink tea, and eat with you, the prerequisite is that you treat me. I'm not here to be someone's son. "

After hearing what he said, Zheng Shizu laughed, "You really only take advantage of it, not at a disadvantage. I have spent so much money, and I have to say, you can't be like my son."

"Am I that old?"

"He wasn't old when he left me."

Tan Zongming turned sideways, "If it's a dead person, I'd be even more reluctant, it's unlucky."

Zheng Shizu sighed, and the corners of his mouth drooped, "He's not dead. But I don't know where he went."

Tan Zongming looked at him and frowned slightly. Perhaps, he already regretted what he just said. Why did he hurt a lonely old man like this, but how can he take back the water that has been poured out.

Zheng Shizu quickly put away his sad expression, "Looking at your dress and temperament, you should be a member of the upper class, and you are not short of money, why are you so fussy about money."

"My money didn't come from strong winds. It's all hard-earned money. Of course, I have to care about it."

Zheng Shizu became kind as before, "What does your family do, you don't look like a profligate playboy, you have a strict family education, play chess here with me, you won't be scolded when you go back, right? "

Tan Zongming chuckled and said, "What do you mean by accompanying you? You play chess with me." Speaking of which, he didn't play chess before, but now, he doesn't know whether it's because of his competitive spirit or what. He loses to Zheng Shizu again and again. He is not reconciled, he wants to win, so he plays game after game, and he must leave because he has something to do. If the other party proposes that he can't play, he will not throw the chess board. The next time the other party invites him to play chess, he will Also ask the other party to wait a little longer.

Zheng Shizu laughed, "You boy, few people dare to be so self-willed in front of me."

"Willful?" Tan Zongming said, "If you don't know how to use words, don't use them indiscriminately."

"Is this how your family taught you to treat your elders?"

Tan Zongming deliberately showed a questioning expression, "Elder? You call me Xiao Tan, and I call you Old Zheng. We are friends, so what is the difference between elders and juniors?"

What he said made Zheng Shizu feel a little better, and he couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Tan Zongming continued: "Also, I don't remember if I told you. I have no family."

Zheng Shizu suddenly raised his eyes to look at him, no matter whether Tan Zongming said it or not, it was obviously not mentioned in Zheng Shizu's memory.

Tan Zongming looked out the window and said calmly, without any ups and downs in his voice: "I am an orphan. I have no strict father, no loving mother, no brothers, no sisters, no wife, no children, and no friends."

Zheng Shizu walked behind him, put his hand on his shoulder, and then exerted some strength. "Haven't we already become friends?"

"Yes, an orphan and a widowed old man." Tan Zongming turned his head, looked at him, and then looked towards the direction of the door. There were more than a dozen bodyguards of the old man with guns standing outside the door. "The so-called friends need a prerequisite. It just doesn’t involve any relationship of interest.”

Zheng Shizu nodded in agreement.

Their experiences are different, but they all agree on the same point of view in their hearts.Once interests are designed, there is no such thing as pure friendship.They all agreed with this statement, so they didn't check each other's details, and they wouldn't involve chatting, drinking tea and playing chess with each other.They were just too lonely and depressed, and they comforted each other, which is why they had a year-end friendship.

Tan Zongming glanced at the time and said, "I have something to do today, so I can't play with you. You should practice chess well. I won three games against you today. Maybe I will win all of them next time."

Zheng Shizu said loudly: "You boy, you are too arrogant!"

Tan Zongming didn't look back, only leaving him with an insolent back.
