self-deprecating

Two days of exams passed by in a flash, and the last exam was chemistry.

There are still 10 minutes before the end of the exam, and the students in the first exam room are still racing against time to write papers or check, all vowing to get full marks.

Han Zizhou checked twice and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he stood up and handed in the paper in advance.When the invigilator saw Han Zizhou handing in the paper, he asked with concern, "Are you sure you hand in the paper? Have you checked everything?"

Han Zizhou didn't speak, just handed in the test paper with a smile, packed the test equipment and left.

When the top students in the examination room saw Han Zizhou handing in the paper, some showed surprised expressions, some showed a little shocked expression, and some showed a little disconvinced expression, as if to say: I can also hand in the paper if I pretend to be B, but I want to be safe and steady.

Han Zizhou went out without hesitation, leaving all kinds of thoughts and gazes behind him.

As soon as he left the teaching building, Han Zizhou saw Gu Ze.

He was squatting next to the flower bed with an empty schoolbag on his back, his arms were on his knees, his wrists were hanging down, and he looked down, not knowing what he was looking at.

Han Zizhou walked up to him without saying a word.

Gu Ze was staring at the ants running around beside the flower bed in a daze, when a pair of black sneakers appeared in his line of sight.

Gu Ze looked up, Han Zizhou stood in front of him with his head down.

"Why did you come out now? Haven't you finished the exam yet?"

"No, I'll hand in the paper early." Han Zizhou said.

Gu Ze stretched out his hand and smiled at him, "Give me a hand, my legs are numb."

Han Zizhou grabbed his hand without temper and pulled him up, "How long have you been out? My legs are numb."

Gu Ze's legs were numb, so he could only stand still, grabbing Han Zizhou's hand to stabilize himself, "I don't know, it's been a while."

Han Zizhou let him pull.

"I don't know how to write anyway, and it's a bit annoying to sit inside." Gu Ze slowed down for a while, and stretched his legs, "At the same table, you will put pressure on other students if you hand in the papers in advance so ostentatiously."

"It has nothing to do with me." Hearing Gu Ze's teasing, Han Zizhou smiled, "Go eat grilled fish?"

Gu Ze nodded, "Okay, let's go there first, the store is quite popular, there will be no seats if we go late."

The two left the school gate and went straight to the restaurant.

The grilled fish restaurant that Yao Jie was thinking of was not far from the school, only one street away. Han Zizhou walked there with Gu Ze without riding his bicycle.

It wasn't too late for the two of them, so Han Zizhou asked for a box on the second floor and waited for everyone.

Just as he sat down, Gu Ze's cell phone rang, and Yao Jie's voice came out.

"Brother Ze, have you seen Brother Zhou? You didn't invite me to dinner, why didn't you see anyone else?!"

"The two of us are in the store, you come here directly."

"Ah? Didn't you just finish the exam? Brother Zhou also left early?"

"Well, stop talking nonsense, come here quickly, the box on the second floor, Peony Hall."

"Hahahaha," Yao Jie's laugh was a little devilish, "Peony Hall, why isn't it called Chrysanthemum Hall?"

"Shut up, you won't need to talk any more." Gu Ze pretended to threaten.

"Don't, don't, we'll be there soon. The Peony Hall is good. The peonies are graceful and luxurious, and the most colorful among the flowers~" The slightly out-of-key singing was interrupted, and Yao Jie's mobile phone was snatched by Duan Yuelin, "Brother Ze, don't worry about Yao Jie, we will be there soon! Wait for us!"

The voice was noisy, several people were noisy, Gu Ze answered and hung up the phone, and his ears became clear again.

After a while, others came.Yao Jie, Duan Yuelin, a few boys who often play together, Tang Yuan, Gao Linfei, Zeng Yang, and two girls, Bai Lu and Zhong Xiaofan.

"Come on, let's order." Han Zizhou smiled.

Everyone sat down and called the waiter to order.

Seventeen or eighteen years old was when he was full of energy. The seven boys ate a lot. Han Zizhou directly ordered two big fish and a lot of meat dishes.

"What would you like to drink?" Han Zizhou asked while holding the menu, "Coke? Sprite? Orange? Sour plum soup?"

Yao Jie: "Hey! Brother Zhou, can we have a meal without drinking? Why are you asking about drinks?"

Han Zizhou didn't quite know how much everyone was drinking, so he subconsciously looked at Gu Ze.

Gu Ze smiled, "It's okay, he can drink."

"Although there will be no class tomorrow, everyone should drink less." Han Zizhou was relieved when he received a definite answer, "What would the girl want to drink?"

"Of course my brother Bai also drinks beer!" Several boys booed.Bai Lu is usually capable and forthright, and has a good relationship with boys, calling her brother at every turn.

Bai Lu smiled, "Okay, give Xiaofan some sour plum soup, and I can drink beer."

Han Zizhou nodded, expressing his understanding.

As soon as the beer was served, several boys filled their glasses, and Tang Yuan held the glasses, "Brother Ze, Brother Zhou, thank you for what happened before, I don't know how to talk, so I just have a drink."

Han Zizhou: "I am very happy to be a classmate and friend with you. I am grateful to you for taking care of me in the past two months."

"Students in a class, whether to take care of them or not, are what everyone should do."

"That's right, we'll be good friends from now on, why are you talking nonsense!"

Everyone, you and I talked for a long time, didn't eat much food, but drank almost enough wine.

Yao Jie was a little excited, and took Han Zizhou to have another drink.

"Yao Jie, it's alright, let's eat." Gu Ze winked at him.

"Okay, okay, let's eat." Yao Jie laughed and sat down to eat fish.

Taking everyone's taste into consideration, Han Zizhou only ordered slightly spicy grilled fish, but it was still so spicy that his nose turned red and the tip of his nose was sweating.

Gu Ze handed a piece of paper to his hand, "A little spicy?"

Han Zizhou took a sip of the beer in hand, "It's okay."

"Eat less if you can't eat, and eat something else." Gu Ze got a cup of tea and put it beside him.

"Thank you." Han Zizhou nodded.

Han Zizhou's alcohol capacity is not bad, he won't pour a glass, and after drinking a lot, his ears and neck are just a little red, which is a bit conspicuous on his fair and clean skin.

"When I came here just now, I met the school belle downstairs." Bai Lu chatted while eating fish.

"School beauty? Cai Hanlei?" Zhong Xiaofan asked.

"Yes, that's her." Bai Lu nodded.

"Which class is it? Why don't I have an impression here?" Duan Yuelin asked.

"Don't you know, class [-], liberal arts class. When we were freshmen in high school, she didn't dance at the art festival. There is a picture of her on our school's official website." Bai Lu popularized it.

"Oh, I remembered, the one who learned to dance, and later a group of people chased her." Duan Yuelin nodded.

"Didn't she get together with a senior in the third year of high school?" Gao Linfei asked.

"You guys also gossip like this?" Bai Lu smiled.

Gao Linfei didn't take it seriously, "When boys gossip, it doesn't matter to you girls."

"Hahahahaha." Everyone was amused and laughed.

"Didn't it mean that the two of them broke up?" Zhong Xiaofan asked.

"What? You broke up?" Gao Linfei was a little surprised.

"That's right, we broke up. Some time ago, there was a discussion in the group of 'Seniors from the Second Middle School', saying that she fell in love with someone else and insisted on breaking up with the senior." Bai Lu nodded, "But Who knows what the specific reason is, I only know that Cai Hanlei is single now."

Gao Linfei slapped Tang Yuan's back with his palm, shaking the fish off Tang Yuan's chopsticks, "Brother, your chance has come."

"Fuck off, what does it have to do with me?" Tang Yuan rolled his eyes, "You knocked out all the meat."

"Hahahahahaha." Everyone burst into laughter again.

Bai Lu smiled and said, "I didn't hit you guys, maybe only Brother Ze and Brother Zhou could fall into the eyes of schoolgirls."

Although Han Zizhou couldn't handle spicy food, the grilled fish tasted good, and he couldn't bear to put it down, so he had to eat a mouthful of fish and drink a mouthful of water.Gu Ze was sitting next to him, saw that he was out of water, and offered him another glass.

The two harmoniously ate fish and listened to gossip, but unexpectedly they were named.

Gu Ze smiled, "What does it have to do with me, I like fish."

"Hahahahaha." With Tang Yuan's previous words, Gu Ze's words also had a funny atmosphere, and everyone laughed together.

"Yeah." Han Zizhou nodded, "It has nothing to do with me."

"Hahahahaha." A group of people laughed in the box.

Han Zizhou saw that everyone was almost finished eating, so he leaned over to Gu Ze and said, "I'll go out for a while."

Gu Ze nodded, "Understood."

Han Zizhou got up and left the box to pay the bill.The checkout place is on the first floor, and Han Zizhou walked to the side to wait.

After waiting for a long time, the girl in front paid the bill and was about to leave.

The girl turned around and saw Han Zizhou, and said, "Student Han Zizhou?"

Han Zizhou nodded. He didn't know the girl in front of him, so he just responded politely.

"Hi, I'm also from No. [-] Middle School. I'm Cai Hanlei from Class [-]." The girl smiled at him, revealing the sweet dimples on her cheeks.

Han Zizhou's expression was light, "Hello." The name was a bit familiar, probably because of the alcohol. After thinking for a long time, Han Zizhou finally found the name in his mind, the school belle Bai Lu mentioned just now.

"Well... can we exchange WeChat?" Cai Hanlei took out her phone and tilted her head to look at him.

"Sorry, I don't use WeChat." Han Zizhou refused expressionlessly, "If you have finished paying the bill, please let me go, I have to pay the bill too."

Cai Hanlei is probably seldom rejected by people, so she stepped aside in embarrassment, "Ah, I'm sorry, you can pay the bill."

Han Zizhou quickly reported the name of the box, took out his mobile phone, and clicked on WeChat payment.

After 1 minute, I only heard a sound from the speaker in the counter: "WeChat payment: 542 yuan."

Cai Hanlei ran to her good friend in embarrassment, another girl patted her on the shoulder comfortingly, and she could vaguely hear her say: "It's all right..."

Han Zizhou put away his phone, turned around and walked to the second floor.

The author has something to say: Thank you everyone.
