why do you like me

003 Pretentious

I met Nan Xichi in the middle of the night, when Jiang Chuan had just woken up from a nap.

It was past ten o'clock at night, and the room was extremely quiet. Jiang Chuan woke up and didn't realize where he was for a moment. He raised his leg and wanted to kick the bed board of the upper bunk, but after kicking for nothing, he suddenly remembered that he had come out.He fumbled to turn on the light, and after seeing his surroundings clearly, his chest relaxed.

The hot pot in the afternoon was full, and I didn't have dinner. I feel hungry and thirsty now.Jin Min accompanied Jiang Xing in the hospital, and he won't be back until tomorrow.Jiang Chuan picked up his mobile phone and saw two missed calls from Nan Xichi, so he called them back.

"Where is it, can I go?"

"Baike Internet Cafe."

Jiang Chuan felt tight in his chest and didn't know him.

"Send me the address."

"It's black. You just take a taxi and come here, as long as the starting price."

Brotherly love is worse than playing games, Nan Xichi yelled, "Block that fat man down the road" after finishing speaking, and hung up the phone.

Baike Internet Cafe is not far away, it is on the pedestrian street that Jiang Chuan passed through in the afternoon.The pedestrian street has not been built for a long time, and a large shopping plaza and various leisure and entertainment venues have been planned. However, the big brands have not yet settled in, and there are not many people interested in it. It is like a ghost town in the middle of the night.

Baike Internet Café is located at Jiekou, opened less than half a year ago, with first-class environment and first-class equipment. The key point is that it is still open for big rewards. The cost for one night is very low, which is fatal to the student party.

Jiang Chuan stood at the door and hesitated for a while before going in. After walking around, he deeply felt that this was a place with extremely tall decoration. He looked like this and he was here to rob, ah no, his temperament has been sublimated.

Jiang Chuan called Nan Xichi, only to hear a ringing bell.He followed the ringtone to look for it, and saw Nan Xichi and the others sitting in a corner with poor lighting, their faces illuminated by the light from the computer screen like a handsome ghost.

Nan Xichi raised his eyelids, looked away from Jiang Chuan after his eyes met Jiang Chuan, but his body did not move, his fingers kept busy on the keyboard, as if he hadn't seen Jiang Chuan for eight months, but they had only been separated for 10 minutes.

Jiang Chuan reluctantly walked over.

The seats chosen by the people in Nanxichi were very biased, and there was only one side-by-side double seat against the wall, which was already occupied by a boy.The boy was lying on two soft leather chairs, his clothes were dark colors that blended into the environment, his face wrapped in a hat was hidden in the darkness, and the computer screen on the table had automatically gone to sleep.The schoolbag next to him and the white sneakers sticking out of the chair in the aisle made Jiang Chuan realize that there was a person lying down.

Jiang Chuan felt that the schoolbag looked familiar, and before he had time to think about it, he was attracted by the game Nan Xichi was playing.He remembered how he used to be a game booster, carefully watched Nan Xichi's operation, and thought about a plan to make money in an occupational attack.

Nan Xichi didn't continue after winning two games in a row.He got up and gave Jiang Chuan a big hug, and the two of them let go after touching their shoulders.The short boy on the opposite side yelled and stood up: "Brother Chuan!" Then he rushed over and wanted to hug Jiang Chuan.

For a moment Jiang Chuan wanted to pick up this man and throw him on the ground.But he held back, and patted the short man on the shoulder: "Why are you still so short, kid?"

"Damn!" The short man immediately punched Jiang Chuan.

Of the five people, Jiang Chuan knew two, and Nan Xichi briefly introduced the other three.Jiang Chuan casually glanced at the three of them, nodded vaguely, and sat down on Nanxichi's seat without even seeing their faces clearly.

Jiang Chuan knew he was covering up.

In the past, he would not have any reaction to his subconscious actions.I don't know if it's because of Cheng Jing's reminder that Jiang Chuan is extra sensitive to his own psychology and behavior, and of course he is also extra sensitive to other people's eyes and actions.For example, at this moment, he felt a little irritated for no reason about meeting strangers.

These three people knew that they were not students just by their appearance.Nan Xichi introduced that they met through playing games, and it is estimated that they have not known each other for a long time, and the friendship is limited to games and chatting.At this stall, Jiang Chuan instinctively wanted to keep some distance from such people.

Seeing Jiang Chuan's indifferent attitude, one of them immediately changed his expression. Just as he raised his hand to say something, Nan Xichi stopped him: "This is my younger brother, just keep your temper, don't mind, I'll treat you to dinner later."

He motioned for the man to give up his seat, and then sat down next to Jiang Chuan himself.It will be a few days before Jiang Chuan is full, and he can't use his ID card to get on the computer right now, so he directly canceled Nan Xichi's game account, and said, "Register one for me, and see if I can play."

Nan Xichi had no choice but to poke at the keyboard and register him.

From this posture, it seemed that half of Nan Xichi was nestled in Jiang Chuan's arms.Nan Xichi sighed while registering, if he was in such a posture with himself, he would take off his clothes immediately.This thought reminded him of the photo of an affair that Jiang Chuan sent in the afternoon, so he said, "The one you hooked up with on the subway looks pretty good."

Thinking of Cheng Jing's expressionless look, Jiang Chuan smiled: "It's not that I hooked up on the subway, my mother came here to give me tutoring."

Nan Xichi knows exactly which type Jiang Chuan likes: "This is sending sheep to the tiger's mouth."

The voices of the two people were very low, which was quickly covered by the noise of the Internet cafe.Jiang Chuan sighed.

It was obvious that the noise was because of him.

Jiang Chuan's reputation was not very good before, and the chain effect caused by the knife attack with his own father caused quite a disturbance in the entire Z city. During the few minutes he came to the Internet cafe, almost everyone recognized him.

Those who knew and didn't know all came together, and everyone seemed to carry a kind of oppression, which directly made Jiang Chuan feel blocked. In contrast, Nanxi Chi Quandang's non-existent attitude for eight months simply made him refreshed Refreshing.Jiang Chuan once again had an absurd idea, thinking that what Cheng Jing said was right, there was something wrong with him.

Nan Xichi still stared at the computer as if nothing had happened: "What's your nickname?"

Jiang Chuan rubbed his face: "Whatever."

Nan Xichi entered "whatever" in the ID name box, and then said "Damn": "The nickname has been taken."

Jiang Chuan: "..."

Taking the opportunity of getting familiar with the game, Jiang Chuan directly ignored all the people who came to say hello, and tried to remind himself not to think about the expressions on other people's faces and the meaning conveyed by their eyes.Realizing that he was following Cheng Jing's words, Jiang Chuan cursed in his heart.

Nan Xichi went to the small supermarket at the front desk and came back with a bunch of snacks. He opened a can of cold beer for Jiang Chuan, and his eyes gradually shifted to Jiang Chuan's face while looking at the screen.

Nan Xichi's gaze couldn't be ignored, Jiang Chuan's heart skipped a beat, and he pretended to be calm: "What are you looking at, my face is blooming?"

"It's a very handsome flower." Nan Xichi looked at the fast-moving villain on the screen, "How about... let's go upstairs to the box? There are quite a lot of people today, and I don't know if there are any boxes left. "

A heartless person like Nan Xichi can see that something is wrong with him... Jiang Chuan twitched the corner of his mouth.So why does that Cheng Jing deliberately remind himself, it makes him feel that something is wrong with what he does now, why not see who gets upset and start a fight.

The consequences of a fight are not guaranteed.

Around midnight, there was a sudden commotion in the Internet cafe.Those who didn't stay overnight got off the plane, checked out and left, and those who stayed overnight came one after another.

Jiang Chuan stayed in the Internet cafe for less than two hours, and the news about his coming out had spread all over the place.At this moment, another wave of familiar and unfamiliar people came to take a look, and those who were a little more familiar squeezed in to say a few words.

Jiang Chuan was perfunctory while playing the game.The eyes and words of these people were indifferent, and the discomfort they brought to Jiang Chuan also fluctuated, so he could only hold his breath.He wasn't interested in high-cold characters, and because of Cheng Jing's serious reminder, he didn't want to succumb to the trembling in his heart, and he had to get over it.

When strangers approached again, Jiang Chuan didn't pay attention.He felt something was wrong when he felt someone pull Nan Xichi away, and he raised his arms to cover his face completely out of instinct.

Following Nan Xichi's voice of "Chuanzi be careful", the two beer cans flew to the side of the wall because of Jiang Chuan raising his arms to block.

Jiang Chuan leaned back, and accidentally touched the softness of his hand when he shook his arm.He froze for a moment, and suddenly thought that there was a boy sleeping in the seat next to him, and he might have suffered a disaster just now.

Looking back, the two cans of beer were spilled thoroughly, on the table, on the computer screen, on the wall, and even on the boy, and the softness I touched was half of the boy's fair cheek that slipped out of the hat between the chairs.

Before he had time to confirm anything, Jiang Chuan immediately turned around, raised his leg and kicked him when he felt the danger was approaching.There were more than one person on the other side, Jiang Chuan kicked one over, and a person on the other side smashed it at his head with a wine bottle, and two people were trapped by Nan Xichi and the others not far away.

Jiang Chuan felt bad, said "fuck" and was about to move aside, when he caught a glimpse of the sleeping boy who had already got up, and the next second he would automatically send the head under the wine bottle, which would surely turn him into a bloody brain Shock.

Jiang Chuan went forward resignedly, and while covering the boy's head with his hand, he grabbed the attacker's wrist with the other hand, and kicked the boy's calf in an extremely awkward posture.The man lost his balance in an instant and fell to the ground howling.Then he threw it away into the half-empty wine bottle, and the half-full beer leaked out, splashing Jiang Chuan all over.

The clothes I just bought this afternoon...

From now out, all the suppressed anxiety and irritability in my heart are like a beast coming out of the cage at this moment, fuck his uncle's social barriers!The scar on the right eyelid moved, Jiang Chuan picked up the iron high stool next to him and was about to smash it down, when suddenly a hand pulled his arm hard behind him.

A very soft voice: "Jiang Chuan, don't be impulsive."

Jiang Chuan turned around.

The boy who had been sleeping has stood up.He also got a lot of beer on his body, and he looked like a mess, but the mess didn't make him look too embarrassed.Especially at this moment, when everyone was confused or shocked by the accident, his expression seemed too calm, his delicate facial features were like expressionless sculptures, a bit indifferent.

It's Cheng Jing.

He glanced at Jiang Chuan, his eyes were as black as ink, and the moment he turned, a shooting star flashed by, which was an amazing glance.He didn't know it, he just looked at Jiang Chuan and said, "Don't be impulsive."

The meteor was fleeting, and there was only a pool of clear spring water left in his eyes, so quiet, so quiet that there was infinite tenderness gushing out, he could only see peace in Jiang Chuan's heart, and the tyranny was greatly appeased.

Knowing that Jiang Chuan would not make any more moves, Cheng Jing turned around and picked up the schoolbag that was drenched in beer on the table, took out the books and sundries inside, and then threw the schoolbag on the ground in disgust. The mottled bird was still dripping.

The assailant on the ground had already got up, Cheng Jing looked at him, and said in a cold and calm voice, "This schoolbag is 5000 yuan, I forgot how much the pendant on the schoolbag is 2 yuan, let's count it to you [-] yuan in total. You are lucky today , I didn’t use the backpack from Burberry, otherwise you would have to pay more than [-] yuan.”

He looked down at himself, "The clothes on my body are less than five hundred, so you don't have to pay for them, and I can still wear them after washing them."

There was a gasp all around, and Jiang Chuan whistled in his heart, this kid can really pretend.

The person who started the trouble also found it ridiculous: "You think I'm a fool."

Who would have the most expensive pendant of a schoolbag, it's so ugly.

Cheng Jing was still very calm: "Intime has a repair center for luxury luggage. I have registered as a member. You can take it to ask."

Everyone: "..."

The man felt that the boy who suddenly showed up to show off his wealth was unreasonable. In addition, the fight was a matter of all-out effort. After the interruption, the owner of the Internet cafe had already rushed over, so there was no way to continue.He pointed at Jiang Chuan and said viciously, "We'll settle the bill next time!"

Jiang Chuan's whole body was in a trough: "Who the hell are you?"

As soon as Jiang Chuan finished speaking, Cheng Jing, who had always been expressionless, suddenly said, "Zhang Huili, Class 39, No. [-] City Middle School, doesn't look polite at all."

Hearing this name, Jiang Chuan's heart sank suddenly, and his eyes darkened accordingly.

The owner of the Internet cafe squeezed over, seeing that nothing was damaged, he asked everyone to disperse.There was beer and glass scum all over the floor, and Jiang Chuan lost the interest to continue playing games.Nan Xichi invited everyone to have supper. Cheng Jing was carrying his wet schoolbag and coat, and walked in the other direction alone. Jiang Chuan grabbed him.

"You followed me to the Internet cafe, let's have a midnight snack together."

"My clothes..." Cheng Jing realized, "I didn't follow you."

Jiang Chuan raised his eyebrows, "Then how did you know Zhang Huili?"

The distance between Xitangkou No. [-] Middle School and City No. [-] Middle School is more than ten kilometers away.

Cheng Jing looked at him, "Several high schools in the city organized a research meeting last week, and the venue was at No. [-] Middle School. I am a student representative of No. [-] Middle School. I saw Zhang Huili's notice of punishment hanging on the bulletin board at the gate of their school. Now It should not be withdrawn yet, why don't you go and have a look?"

Jiang Chuan: "..."

Jiang Chuan looked at the boy in front of him, and felt some complicated emotions in his heart.He knew without guessing that Jin Min must have told Cheng Jing many things about him.But there are many things about him that Jin Min doesn't know about, such as this Zhang Huili.

Before Cheng Jing said Zhang Huili's name, Jiang Chuan was always sure that besides himself and Nan Xichi, no one in Xitangkou knew about Zhang Huili, even though he had never met him.At such a special stall, it's a coincidence that Cheng Jing remembered Zhang Huili with a single notice, right?

When Jiang Chuan was stunned, Cheng Jing had already freed himself from his hand and was about to leave when Nan Xichi also came over.He had a friendly expression of staying out of the matter: "You two are flirting and falling in love, let's have a barbecue together."
