Reborn Petty Citizen
Chapter 48
It was the end of get out of class time, and the way Du Xingzhi rushed out of the classroom with bare eyes after hanging up the phone scared many familiar friends.Cao Yu couldn't get rid of the gloomy expression on his face, and asked Liao Ning who was sitting next to him in surprise, "Did Lao Du take the wrong medicine?"
Several of his friends also had business contacts with Du Xingzhi, so they knew his calm and indifferent personality. After working together for so long, he had basically never seen Du Xingzhi's attitude other than calm.Even if the coal mine was seeping water last second, he could arrange the evacuation of people in an orderly manner within the limited escape time. In the past few years when the coal industry was in a recession, the small coal yard in his hands could still guarantee a sufficient and stable income. This is inseparable from Du Xingzhi's never-radical leadership.
Liao Ning guessed something, and winked at Cao Yu: "I guess it's his precious brother, except for things related to that precious egg, you usually see Lao Du like this?"
Not really.
Thinking that it was related to Zhang Ze, Cao Yu didn't think it was very strange.In fact, Du Xingzhi's attitude of doting on his younger brother surprised them a few times a long time ago. The big guys even sat together and discussed Du Xingzhi's perverted brother-in-law plot, but they got used to it over time. With two words, it is not surprising what Du Xingzhi has become.
Du Xingzhi is also from the School of Management. Naturally, it wasn't long before he arrived at the school office. When he saw the door from a distance, his footsteps became faster.
Xu Sheng's grandfather in the office tried to take a group of old people away, but Zhang Ze guarded the door and refused to let them go. Unbearable.
Grandpa Xu speaks an authentic Beijing accent. When he curses, he is like frying beans in a hot pot, without any sloppiness. Matching the ups and downs of Beijing dialect, it is like talking about cross talk.Zhang Ze especially likes to listen to cross talk, but at this moment, he really can't appreciate the accent of the other party with a normal heart. From his parents in this life to his grandchildren in the next generation, he almost scolded all the dirty diseases except irregular menstruation.
At this time, he didn't hold his heart and pretended to be sick, and his eyes were spitting fire, but if you look closely, you can find his sternness buried under Xingshi's questioning.
Xu Sheng was nervous with cold sweat on his palms. He heard Zhang Ze yelling at someone on the phone. The dormmate who thought he would be a bully suddenly turned into someone more difficult to mess with than Chen Yuan and Hua Maosong. They are all turning blue.The Xu family was indeed famous in the past, but that has long been the glory of the past. The most promising member of the Xu family now is an aunt who works hard in the south. Xu Sheng's father runs a vegetable wholesale company in Beijing. Living in the middle of the two markets, it is thanks to my uncle's small relationship in the government that I can grow this small business.The relationship is real, but it’s not enough iron or hard enough. It’s okay to help out with some small business, but if it really hits the struggle of the second world lord, it will be swallowed up and there will be no scum left.
If he had known that Chen Yuan would be used for the surgery, he would not have made his mind on Zhang Ze. He couldn't see through this usually taciturn classmate. I have comforted my depressed mood several times, but now I can't even find that sense of superiority. When facing Zhang Ze's contemptuous gaze, he can't wait to dig a gap in the ground to get in.
What he cares most about is the way other people look at him.In fact, he doesn't know how to play computer at all, and he doesn't have many people to contact, but in order to enjoy the envious eyes of others, he worked hard to study and take the exam to the management department of Beijing University. Every brand-name clothes on his body He cherishes it very much, and wipes the surface with a damp cloth every night, and folds it neatly in the closet until it is clean. The Swiss watch that his uncle gave him is usually not willing to wear it at all. Even the movement of the arm will not let go too much, and I am afraid that it will bump into it if I am not careful. All this is nothing more than to let others look at him with a pleasant "look up".
He didn't dare to imagine what kind of life he would face after this "looking up" was shattered.The Xu family is a big family, and the family members have reminded him since he was a child that he knows that his status is noble and different from ordinary people.He also wants to live a life that is completely different from ordinary people, travel in luxury cars, have a mansion and garden at home, and spend a lot of money at every turn.But these, the Xu family can't give him.
The vanity that can only be realized on campus, when the dream is about to be shattered, Xu Sheng feels that his world is not far from collapse.
When Du Xingzhi knocked open the door, he saw Xu Sheng's grandmother pointing at Zhang Ze's nose and cursing.
His eyes turned red immediately, unconcealable anger erupted from within, and the low air pressure made everyone in the room stop moving.Unrelentingly holding that finger and shaking it away forcefully, the old lady was turned around twice by this force, she fell down on the table in a daze, and cried loudly: "I beat the old man!!!"
However, no one in the room spoke up for her again.
Lin Cheng couldn't sit still when he saw someone coming from behind the table. There were very few people in the School of Management who didn't know Du Xingzhi. He never dreamed that the cousin Zhang Ze was talking about would be Du Xingzhi.
Du Xingzhi was able to leave Beijing University and Hebei regardless of his studies, this kind of ability is not something ordinary people can have.This is what the principal said in person, and there is a vague background of the Beijing Standing Committee member Zhang. There is no shortage of friends for such people in the school. Xingzhi's cold ass.Lin Cheng was in charge of the students, so how could he not have heard of Du Xingzhi's name?Zhang Wanfei from the medical department came from the same line as him, and he was very popular in his school. Du Xingzhi just kept a low profile, but no one really dared not take him seriously.
"The bully is bullying my family?" He sneered, his eyes swept over everyone in the room unkindly, and paused when they fell on Xu Sheng's face, he was dazzled by his pale and bloodless face A little bit surprised.
Xu Sheng's feet almost went limp from fright, a dog that bites does not bark, he has never really understood the meaning of this sentence in his life!
He was envious of that circle, how could he not know a thing or two about the celebrities in the circle?Not to mention anything else, the arrogant Cao Yu who played with Du Xingzhi was so enviable. With his cold face and dead character, he could have countless fans in the talented student union, let alone in that small circle. Du Xingzhi, who also appeared to be the leader.A look from the other party froze the blood in his whole body. He had fantasized countless times that he was invited by Qingyan Youjia to join this kind of small circle that was crowded and hard to get in, but he never expected that he would be in such a small circle. get to know each other under the circumstances.
Realizing that his grandfather still wanted to provoke Sapo desperately, Xu Sheng's pupils shrank, and he grabbed him and covered his mouth tightly with the strength he didn't know where.
Grandpa Xu was struggling to break free from his grandson's shackles, but Xu Sheng bowed his waist and whispered to Du Xingzhi with a pale face, "It's just a misunderstanding. The old man in the family is used to relying on the old and selling the old. Please forgive me, Senior Du..."
Du Xingzhi frowned, this person's attitude made him feel powerless as if he had punched cotton, but before he could speak again, the frown already scared Xu Sheng enough.Xu Sheng didn't dare to be presumptuous any more, and swept away the previous self-confidence and aggressiveness, and begged Zhang Ze with his eyes: "Ah Ze, it is indeed my fault to suspect you randomly, but you also understand that I lost more than 3 yuan. How anxious, I apologize to you for what happened today, okay?"
Xu Sheng didn't remember that he had ever spoken in such a low voice in his life, but it was not up to him to choose whether to bow his head now. After weighing the pros and cons, his face could only be temporarily abandoned.He regretted that his intestines were green, and his back was wet with sweat, his hands and feet were weak. If he had known that Zhang Ze had such a connection behind him, he would not have taken Zhang Ze to the knife with his great courage.
His grandfather struggled twice after his mouth was covered, and he wanted to say something after breaking Xu Sheng's hand, but Xu Sheng yanked him hard: "Apologize!!!!"
He knew his grandson's temper. Xu Sheng's tense attitude made him puzzled. Looking at Du Xingzhi, who finally came to the office in full swing, he vaguely understood that his grandson was a bully. He picked the wrong person and kicked him to the iron plate. , suddenly tensed up.He remembered what he said to Zhang Ze just now, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, and cold sweat immediately covered his forehead.He opened his mouth dully on the spot, and he became much weaker, and said in a low voice: "It's not that bad luck..."
Xu Sheng's group of relatives, who had been silent all this time but had a strong presence, also changed their colors at this moment, and their posture of rushing out also restrained, and they stood obediently behind Xu Sheng one by one, watching their noses, noses, noses, and hearts.
After Xu Sheng apologized, Qi Ji's eyes were fixed on Zhang Ze. Zhang Ze frowned. He was still angry in his heart, and he knew that the other party's attitude was definitely not because he regretted framing him. , just knew that they couldn't afford Du Xingzhi.Looking at the group of people who were so arrogant just a moment ago, they were silent at the moment, and he didn't have the slightest idea of being moved.
Seeing that he did not express his opinion, beads of sweat rolled down the corner of Xu Sheng's forehead.A trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.He will never forget such an embarrassing scene in his life, and he will not know how to face Zhang Ze in the future. The other party is still pretending to take Joe. It is really unfair. Some people are born different from ordinary people. He obviously has no advantages, but relying on his family background, he can live comfortably for the rest of his life.
But at this moment, he didn't dare to express any dissatisfaction, and the hand that was holding his grandfather tightly began to tremble slightly with the nervousness.Grandpa Xu secretly glanced at his grandson, gritted his teeth and knelt down with a plop——
"It's me who is so old that I don't know Taishan!! You two adults have a lot!! Don't care about petty people like us!!!!"
This sound really blew away half his life's dignity, Mr. Xu blushed with embarrassment, he didn't dare to lift his head, his heart seemed to be pinched by a pair of giant hands, the pain was so painful that he couldn't breathe.But what could he do?Xu Sheng is the only seedling of the Xu family, the lifeblood of the three generations. It is good to let him, an old man with half his leg in the mud, do the shameful things. The grandson still has half of his life ahead, and he will hold his head high in the future Just go!
The moment he knelt down, Du Xingzhi pulled Zhang Ze and jumped away. Du Xingzhi was startled at first, and then great annoyance came to his heart.
This is a different kind of coercion, forcing Zhang Zeyan to forgive them insincerely by using their status as old people.
He snorted coldly, knowing that Zhang Ze might kneel down because of this, he simply took Zhang Ze's hand and opened the office door and strode out. As he left, he said forcefully to Lin Cheng behind the desk: "Call the police."
No one expected them to react like this. Lin Cheng almost subconsciously picked up the phone after he finished speaking and broadcast the alarm number. Neither Xu Sheng nor his grandfather thought that Du Xingzhi would be so ruthless. I was dumbfounded.After Lin Cheng finished speaking to the police officer on the other side of the microphone, the old man Xu suddenly let out a desperate wail, threw himself on the table, tore off the phone and threw it at Lin Cheng: "Withdraw the case!!! Withdraw the case !!!!!!”
Lin Cheng was stunned by the smash, and a strong anger surged in his heart: If you don't die, you won't die. If you want to do something wrong, what's the point of using him to vent?
He also suppressed the original idea of turning a major event into a minor matter. This kind of tricky person will definitely be more courageous next time if he doesn't teach him a lesson.This time I met someone who is not easy to mess with, what about next time?Does anyone have the ability to prove their innocence like Du Xingzhi?
Lin Cheng frowned to avoid old man Xu's attack, straightened his suit collar, and said righteously: "The police is for everyone's sake. The school will not wrong a good person, nor let a bad person go. Wait until After the surveillance is called out, the school will investigate the cause and effect carefully, and after the thief is caught, no matter who it is, the school will persuade him to leave."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Sheng with deep meaning in his eyes. Seeing that he really reacted as if struck by lightning, he immediately confirmed the guess in his heart, and his disgust towards Xu Sheng increased a little.
Lin Cheng winked at a few colleagues who were dumbfounded, and everyone took advantage of the short quiet time to escape from the office together.A group of people in the office stood there in a daze, and after exchanging a few glances with each other, old man Xu squatted on the ground covering his face and broke down crying.
Xu Sheng's eyes went dark, he stepped back a few steps and leaned into his grandmother's arms, opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound.
*******
After what happened last night, Zhang Ze is really embarrassed to meet Du Xingzhi now.
Just now he was out of breath, he just wanted to find someone to back him up, his sister is a girl who should be protected, and he didn't want Zhang's mother and the others to know about such a bad thing, besides Du Xingzhi, he couldn't think of anyone who would be better up.But now that he left the horrible school office, Du Xingzhi's sense of presence suddenly increased, especially the big palm he was holding, which was rough and hot, and the temperature penetrated through the skin, as if it was going to dry Zhang Ze like.
While walking, Zhang Ze awkwardly shook off Du Xingzhi's hand, frowning: "Thank you just now."
Du Xingzhi looked back at him, the anger in his stomach dissipated immediately, and a gentle smile flashed in his eyes: "No need to do this. We are a family. In fact, I am very happy that you can think of coming to me when you encounter difficulties. "
Zhang Ze lowered his head, always feeling that what he said sounded a bit wrong no matter what, but after thinking about it, he felt that he was too sensitive because of what happened last night.
Thinking of last night, his ears turned red again, and his cold demeanor dissipated a lot: "What happened last night..."
Du Xingzhi's complexion was complete, and he looked at his expression carefully, and found that there was obvious resistance in the depths of his eyes, and he smiled bitterly in his heart: "I have already said that many good brothers will 'help each other' like that. Isn't it better for others to do it? Are you comfortable with yourself?"
Zhang Ze nodded hesitantly. There was indeed a big difference between Du Xingzhi's hands and his own.He also asked Five Fingers Girl for help when he had an idea before. It was very cool, but it was absolutely impossible to compare it with last night.And now that I think about it, except for the abrupt kiss yesterday, Du Xingzhi and him were just comforting each other with their hands the whole time, and none of the processes he found on the Internet appeared at all.
Zhang Ze was a little embarrassed again, always feeling that his current awkwardness was caused by a guilty conscience.Where there is a Buddha in his eyes, there is a Buddha in his heart. He first had a sex dream in which the main character was Du Xingzhi, and then found out that he might be gay, so he saw that all the men in the world became gay.In fact, where are there so many homosexuals?He has never met a homosexual since he was a child and he lived a long life in his previous life. This is the case in the open 21st century, and it is even more so in this era.There is nothing weird about Du Xingzhi's usual behavior, and getting along with those friends who have a good time is also very normal, there is no ambiguous posture of dating at all.
Suspecting that a heterosexual is interesting to him, Zhang Ze can't help laughing at himself for being too narcissistic.
After thinking clearly, he scratched his head, raised his head and smiled at Du Xingzhi.
"It's the first time for me... I'm just not used to it. I left without saying goodbye yesterday. I'm sorry."
Du Xingzhi saw at a glance the depression he had forced himself to calm down, and he felt pity and pity in his heart, only feeling that the person he held on top of his heart was so silly that people couldn't look away.Worried about being spotted, Du Xingzhi didn't dare to show an overly aggressive expression. He just smiled softly and stretched out his hand to hold the hand that Zhang Ze had just thrown off him.
Zhang Ze trembled all over, as if all his senses were sucked away by that hand.But he just felt that heterosexuals would never have such nasty thoughts like himself, and he was worried that Du Xingzhi would see him as an outlier if he reacted too much. Although he felt awkward in every way, he didn't dare to think of throwing away Du Xingzhi again.
Du Xingzhi led him out a few steps, turned his head and glanced at the school office, his originally soft eyes were instantly tainted with darkness.
Xu Sheng, right... He wrote down this account.
The two of them almost disappeared, Cao Yu and the others who were hiding in the corner came back to their senses.The unhappiness that has been hanging on Cao Yu's face all year round has long since disappeared, and the other young people are not much better, staring at the other end of the corridor with hellish eyes, Cao Yu stammered and asked: "I... I didn't see clearly?"
"I think I can see too clearly." Hu Xuejian had a toothache on his face, "Oh, why didn't the Bodhisattva pick out Lao Tzu's dog's eyes, and he went blind."
Cao Yu nodded with embarrassment; "... I'm blind."
That person is Du Xingzhi?The difference from the usual image is too big!Smiling like an idiot, it's unbelievable to think about it normally!
&&&&&
For the next period of time, Xu Sheng was extremely worried.
In fact, there is no monitoring equipment at the intersection downstairs of the dormitory. Although Beijing is rich, in this era, it will not press the monitoring system at this kind of intersection with only mediocre traffic.However, Du Xingzhi made a move, and dug out a surveillance camera outside the school that happened to be on the dormitory building. After negotiating with the unit to which the surveillance belongs, he got the content. Sheng went back to the dormitory building.This is different from the alibi he swore and insisted on, and what's more, he came out sneakily and clutched his bulging waist. Laptops these days are thick and heavy, and the shape of the waist and abdomen can be vaguely distinguished One or two, the iron chain tied to the computer that fell down from the clothes inadvertently became out-and-out evidence.
After the truth came out, we started to deal with it. Persuasion was just a threat to scare people. Zhang Ze didn't want to drive people to a dead end, but with Du Xingzhi putting pressure on him, it was absolutely impossible for Xu Sheng to do such a thing. Get out of the way again.The school affairs office arranged for Xu Sheng to apologize to Zhang Ze in public at a certain class meeting, and then circulated a criticism in the school, and recorded a sum in the file, which was considered a very serious punishment.
Knowing that he didn't need to be persuaded to leave, Xu Sheng came back to life. Although asking him to admit his actions in public would be tantamount to killing him, but the old people in the family forced him to die, so he could only Follow the punishment of the school office one by one.
Gao Fushuai's unmistakable mask was exposed. The appearance of his grandfather kneeling on the ground in the Academic Affairs Office was also accidentally seen by students outside the office. I don't know who passed it on. There were rumors everywhere that Xu Sheng had been arrested for stealing, and Xu's family members went to the school office and kowtowed and begged the school not to pursue it.Xu Sheng also figured out a name, but it's a pity that it's notorious.
The gazes cast on him by others made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, especially the goddess Xiao Miaomiao, who he had a crush on, was also one of the people who believed in the rumors. This hit Xu Sheng more than anything else.
He cares most about what other people think of him, wishing that everyone would regard him as a genuine rich, handsome and rich second generation, dreaming that one day he can drive an arrogant convertible sports car roaring on the streets like in the novel, or embrace the face of an angel The big beauty with a devil's figure gallops across the endless grassland against the breeze and listening to the most popular rock music.The envious eyes of others are treasures more valuable than any reward.
In the past, he spent a lot of money in school, and his family gave him 2000 yuan a month for living expenses, and sometimes it was not enough at the end of the month.Buying water can drink Coke but not mineral water, going out can eat KFC and never touch fast food, in order to buy a brand-name shirt with a big logo, he can eat other people’s meals for a month, such a man, after suddenly losing the halo of falsehood , There is always a sense of unreliability that I am running naked.
When it was time for get out of class to end, he packed up his books, hid in a corner with his head down, and carefully came out of the classroom when everyone was almost gone.
Along the road, there were always people whispering to each other in groups of two and two, and those alumni who used to be warm and close when he paid for the treats could not see that they had ever called him brothers.He always felt that there were countless staring eyes on his body.Secretly clenched his hands, he gritted his teeth and walked quickly through this corridor that every time he walked was tantamount to torture.
When he returned to the dormitory, the door was slightly open, and he knew that everyone inside had already arrived, so he hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should just go in like this.
There is light music in the room, and the singer is a popular female star. In the past, he would definitely join in, and use all kinds of tricky words to make his taste different, but now he dare not do this Yes, Chen Yuan had satirized him for several times, no matter how arrogant Xu Sheng was, he also remembered his lesson.
Try to enter the dormitory as unobtrusively as possible. The relaxed atmosphere inside is completely different from the outside. There are desktop computers installed on the other three desks in the room, and three roommates are sitting side by side typing papers. Seeing him come in He didn't look any further, just bowed his head and went about his own business.After that incident happened, the three of them regarded him as a transparent person, and did not easily interact with him. Xu Sheng felt embarrassed at first, but when he was ridiculed outside the dormitory, which was more terrifying than exclusion, Gradually, this ignorance is regarded as a gift.
The worried sarcasm did not appear, even if it was Zhang Ze, the other party involved, he just glanced back at Xu Sheng and didn't pay attention.Xu Sheng was so frightened by his gaze that he stood there, heaved a sigh of relief when the other party turned his head, and pursed his lips.
There was embarrassment in his heart, but more happiness.If it wasn't for this incident, he would never have known that he had made so many enemies in the school.It's just a small fuse, so many people can't wait to tear down his wall. It's not enough to beat the dog in the water, but they want to make him unable to eat and sleep at night to be happy.Xu Sheng was suspicious at first, and for a while, he believed that Zhang Ze used his connections to drive him out of Beijing University.But the more time passed, the more he realized that his original guess was like a joke, Zhang Ze never took him seriously.Even recalling the final confrontation between the two, in Zhang Ze's eyes, it was more like the barking of a clown, right?
Xu Sheng laughed at himself and sighed.However, he also vaguely touched the thick fog that had covered his eyes in the past. When the fog was removed, the scenery behind was within reach.
He understood where he was wrong, and objectively understood how annoying his previous personality was, and gradually found his own position. Before he fully understood the sophistication of being a human being, this kind of tempering might not be the same. This is a good thing, it will allow him not to suffer so much after leaving the society to usher in transformation, and it will also allow him to understand more deeply that he has grown up, and the relationship with his friends is no longer a relationship that can be devoted to a pack of shrimp crackers .
From this point of view, he is grateful to Zhang Ze.It is precisely because of this that among all the people in the dormitory, he is the only one who is the most careful and respectful to Zhang Ze.But now his politeness is definitely not out of fear of his background. With the previous conflicts as a foreshadowing, he understands that even if he is wholeheartedly a dog, Zhang Ze may not accept him regardless of past suspicions.This kind of politeness is an instinctive response after he has explored the ways of the world. To Zhang Ze, he feels guilty and ashamed, but the jealousy and resentment he used to have become less and less day by day.
In all fairness, if he had swapped positions with Zhang Ze and had enough power to back him up, he would definitely not be living as comfortably as he is today.The exclusion and cold reception are just a chain effect, but it has little to do with Zhang Ze.
Carefully covering himself behind the bed curtain, Xu Sheng carefully looked out from the gap in the bed curtain, and his eyes fell on Zhang Ze below.Letting go of deep-rooted prejudices and looking at Zhang Ze again, the outstanding appearance and cool and tranquil temperament are really easy to make people feel good.This fact also made Xu Sheng even more frustrated. Only now did he have the idea of wanting to be friends with Zhang Ze, but it was too late.
********
After completing the formalities, the shops on Chaowai Street began to be renovated.The decoration style of Zhangze is still the same as that of Huaixing’s storefront, but some details have been changed. That kind of transparent glass window is also rare in Beijing. Before the store was completed, many decoration teams around came to join in the fun and learn from it. If you hold hands again, the renovation progress of the store will be faster than that of the store in the same period.
Du's Shengjian came to Beijing, with greater business opportunities and greater competition.Old Beijing is adjacent to Tianjin, and the delicacies of the two places communicate with each other. The threshold of the market is definitely much higher than that of Huaixing. At least the northerners always eat steamed buns. Fried buns can occasionally be seen in stalls in Beijing. If it is not for food For the sake of never being eliminated by the market, Zhang Ze still prefers to manage women's clothing with a promising future in Beijing.
Zhang Ze borrowed the money for the decoration from Zhang's mother. Materials in Beijing are cheaper than Huaixing, but labor is more expensive.Zhang Ze spent a total of more than [-] yuan on a renovation including kitchen equipment, and personally supervised the work of the most sophisticated smoke and sewage exhaust system to make it perfect. One thing, there is nothing impossible.
There is still some time before the store opens, and Zhang Ze has successfully spent the winter vacation. He plans to go back to Huaixing and discuss with Zhao Mingming whether to bring him to Beijing for a period of time.After all, after such a long time, Huaixing must have been brought out a group of apprentices, and there is currently no one he can trust in Beijing. If he is worthy of his trust, he wants to promote this group of old people who have followed him the longest to take charge of their own affairs in the future. areas of expertise.
He is not the only one who wants to go back to Huaixing. Du Xingzhi has a group of old friends who want to exchange feelings regularly. Zhang's mother also plans to take her children back to her natal home to visit their elderly parents after leaving home for so long. Zhang Su is not that troublesome. It just so happens Stay in Beijing to sit in the company, and after Du Xingzhi and Fa Xiaomen get in touch with each other, they will go back to Zhang's old house to celebrate the New Year together.
Happiness is really something to be won. In the past, during the New Year, the whole family would sit together and chat and eat in silence. At most, they would prepare a New Year’s Eve dinner, and they didn’t have to worry about anything else.But now, before the end of the year, Zhang Su and Zhang's mother began to discuss gift-giving matters, and Du Xingzhi also stayed in Hebei for a long time without returning to Beijing. It is sympathy.
The relationship between the two has now stabilized. Zhang Ze has gradually become convinced of Du Xingzhi's "brothers helping each other". Ze is no longer too obsessed with the accident that happened that night. The relationship between the two of them has generally eased a lot compared to before, and they tend to return to the state of the previous life.Du Xingzhi cared about Zhang Ze, and Zhang Ze also accepted his affection. In addition, the status of the two people was basically equal now, and Zhang Ze didn't always have low self-esteem like in his previous life. Although he was still a little colder in comparison, this change has already Du Xingzhi, who had been posting cold butts for a long time, was quite satisfied.
On the day of leaving school, Zhang Ze packed his notes and a few pieces of clothing in his suitcase, and bid farewell to Chen Yuanhua Maosong.
These two people basically haven't talked to Xu Sheng since the theft in the dormitory last time, and they don't know many things that happened in the school office that day. The relationship between Zhang Ze and Du Xingzhi is still a secret so far. At best, they knew that Zhang Ze's family background was pretty good, and they didn't make a fuss like Xu Sheng.That's right, it's hard to get a son from a poor family these days. Unless you're born a genius, those who can train their children into the School of Management of Peking University will not be so tight.
Hua Maosong felt a little regretful: "Wenzhou is very comfortable in winter. If you are willing to go to my house, I will definitely entertain you well. My cousins have agreed to go to Macau to gamble this weekend. If you come with me, you can apply for a passport. I can catch up."
Chen Yuan curled his lips: "You just know that you can't teach well, and take people to gamble?" He said and patted Zhang Ze on the shoulder, "Don't go, this is pushing you into the fire pit."
Zhang Ze grinned, Hua Maosong touched the back of his head, his face was blush.Chen Yuan's mouth is bitter, but his heart is good, and his three views are outrageously upright. He attaches great importance to gambling and messing with the relationship between men and women. Ten or eight girlfriends had a good time, and after that, they were ridiculed by Chen Yuan for more than ten days, so until now they have not dared to do anything outside behind the back of Wenzhou girlfriends.
Everyone understands that Chen Yuan's paranoia must be related to some experiences. Every family has their own hard-to-read scriptures. Now that they have become friends, everyone tries to accommodate each other within the scope of their ability.
The two of them had a car to pick them up and left early, before the appointment time with Du Xingzhi arrived, Zhang Ze sat alone in the dormitory waiting for Du Xingzhi to come.
Xu Sheng, who hadn't shown his face all this time, suddenly opened the door and came in. When he saw Zhang Ze, he paused, and his eyes lingered on Zhang Ze's face. His expression was a little strange, as if hesitating and forbearing.
Zhang Ze turned his head and glanced at the ground. All the luggage was taken away. Xu Sheng was the first to leave early in the morning. What did he do when he came back?
As a result, Xu Sheng went straight to him, and when Zhang Ze didn't know why, he took out a box from the backpack on his shoulder, about the size of an adult's palm, wrapped in black gift paper, and tied a Blood red ribbon.
He maintained a cool attitude, pursed his lips tightly, his eyes drifted, and handed the box to Zhang Ze with one hand.
Zhang Ze froze for a moment, subconsciously reached out to take it.
He seemed to be relieved, the corners of his tightly pursed lips moved slightly, and before Zhang Ze could ask what it was, he turned around and left quickly.
Because Xu Sheng's sense of existence was very weak during this period, Zhang Ze didn't realize that Xu Sheng had given him a gift after a few seconds, and his first reaction was to raise his hairs guardedly, guessing what intentions he had behind it.
But he had already received the item in his hand, and it was too late to regret it. He hesitated for a moment, tore off the ribbon and wrapping paper, put the box on the table, stood far away, and used a long ruler to pick the box open.
Surprisingly, there was a white envelope at the top.
Zhang Ze took out the envelope, and there was a mobile phone lying on the sponge and flannel underneath. After looking closely, he remembered that this was the one Xu Sheng used before.There were only three words in the envelope: "I'm sorry."
When Du Xingzhi came to pick him up, he saw a smile on Zhang Ze's face, and couldn't help being curious: "What good happened?" Zhang Ze was rarely so happy.
Zhang Ze smiled and said nothing.
*******
After catching the earliest flight, it was almost noon when we arrived in Huaixing. When we got out of the airport, Zhang Ze was surprised that the person who came to pick him up was land.
It's been a while, Lu Lu is even more flamboyant than before.He shaved a short cockscomb hair, permed the red color of the bag, and wore a large leather jacket with a bunch of jingling iron chains. His jeans were also baggy, and he also wore one-sided earrings. Not like a nice guy.When Zhang's mother saw him, her eyes froze. Although she had been gradually integrating into the fashion circle since she started creating the brand, she was not surprised to see someone like Lu Lu around her.
Lu Lu was still enthusiastic about Zhang Ze, but not as enthusiastic as before. He smiled and gave him a hug, not much nostalgia, but more about reminiscing about the past with Du Xingzhi and being polite to Zhang's mother.
He sent Zhang Ze and the others back to the old store. Speaking of which, apart from the attic of the old store, the family has no place to live in Huaixing now.The construction in Shizuoka Village had just started not long ago, they chose a terraced building, and the delivery of the house was nowhere in sight.The rest are all storefronts under the name of Zhang Ze, and there are no houses available for living.
While watching the children carrying their suitcases to the attic, Zhang's mother secretly wondered whether she should buy a house in Huaixing.After all, this is the foundation of the family, and there are shops here, so buying a house is convenient for living in the future.
The old store is managed by an old friend who gets along well with Zhang's mother. This person is called Li Yue, an old cultural person, and it is easy to collect bills.The store was previously because of a
Several of his friends also had business contacts with Du Xingzhi, so they knew his calm and indifferent personality. After working together for so long, he had basically never seen Du Xingzhi's attitude other than calm.Even if the coal mine was seeping water last second, he could arrange the evacuation of people in an orderly manner within the limited escape time. In the past few years when the coal industry was in a recession, the small coal yard in his hands could still guarantee a sufficient and stable income. This is inseparable from Du Xingzhi's never-radical leadership.
Liao Ning guessed something, and winked at Cao Yu: "I guess it's his precious brother, except for things related to that precious egg, you usually see Lao Du like this?"
Not really.
Thinking that it was related to Zhang Ze, Cao Yu didn't think it was very strange.In fact, Du Xingzhi's attitude of doting on his younger brother surprised them a few times a long time ago. The big guys even sat together and discussed Du Xingzhi's perverted brother-in-law plot, but they got used to it over time. With two words, it is not surprising what Du Xingzhi has become.
Du Xingzhi is also from the School of Management. Naturally, it wasn't long before he arrived at the school office. When he saw the door from a distance, his footsteps became faster.
Xu Sheng's grandfather in the office tried to take a group of old people away, but Zhang Ze guarded the door and refused to let them go. Unbearable.
Grandpa Xu speaks an authentic Beijing accent. When he curses, he is like frying beans in a hot pot, without any sloppiness. Matching the ups and downs of Beijing dialect, it is like talking about cross talk.Zhang Ze especially likes to listen to cross talk, but at this moment, he really can't appreciate the accent of the other party with a normal heart. From his parents in this life to his grandchildren in the next generation, he almost scolded all the dirty diseases except irregular menstruation.
At this time, he didn't hold his heart and pretended to be sick, and his eyes were spitting fire, but if you look closely, you can find his sternness buried under Xingshi's questioning.
Xu Sheng was nervous with cold sweat on his palms. He heard Zhang Ze yelling at someone on the phone. The dormmate who thought he would be a bully suddenly turned into someone more difficult to mess with than Chen Yuan and Hua Maosong. They are all turning blue.The Xu family was indeed famous in the past, but that has long been the glory of the past. The most promising member of the Xu family now is an aunt who works hard in the south. Xu Sheng's father runs a vegetable wholesale company in Beijing. Living in the middle of the two markets, it is thanks to my uncle's small relationship in the government that I can grow this small business.The relationship is real, but it’s not enough iron or hard enough. It’s okay to help out with some small business, but if it really hits the struggle of the second world lord, it will be swallowed up and there will be no scum left.
If he had known that Chen Yuan would be used for the surgery, he would not have made his mind on Zhang Ze. He couldn't see through this usually taciturn classmate. I have comforted my depressed mood several times, but now I can't even find that sense of superiority. When facing Zhang Ze's contemptuous gaze, he can't wait to dig a gap in the ground to get in.
What he cares most about is the way other people look at him.In fact, he doesn't know how to play computer at all, and he doesn't have many people to contact, but in order to enjoy the envious eyes of others, he worked hard to study and take the exam to the management department of Beijing University. Every brand-name clothes on his body He cherishes it very much, and wipes the surface with a damp cloth every night, and folds it neatly in the closet until it is clean. The Swiss watch that his uncle gave him is usually not willing to wear it at all. Even the movement of the arm will not let go too much, and I am afraid that it will bump into it if I am not careful. All this is nothing more than to let others look at him with a pleasant "look up".
He didn't dare to imagine what kind of life he would face after this "looking up" was shattered.The Xu family is a big family, and the family members have reminded him since he was a child that he knows that his status is noble and different from ordinary people.He also wants to live a life that is completely different from ordinary people, travel in luxury cars, have a mansion and garden at home, and spend a lot of money at every turn.But these, the Xu family can't give him.
The vanity that can only be realized on campus, when the dream is about to be shattered, Xu Sheng feels that his world is not far from collapse.
When Du Xingzhi knocked open the door, he saw Xu Sheng's grandmother pointing at Zhang Ze's nose and cursing.
His eyes turned red immediately, unconcealable anger erupted from within, and the low air pressure made everyone in the room stop moving.Unrelentingly holding that finger and shaking it away forcefully, the old lady was turned around twice by this force, she fell down on the table in a daze, and cried loudly: "I beat the old man!!!"
However, no one in the room spoke up for her again.
Lin Cheng couldn't sit still when he saw someone coming from behind the table. There were very few people in the School of Management who didn't know Du Xingzhi. He never dreamed that the cousin Zhang Ze was talking about would be Du Xingzhi.
Du Xingzhi was able to leave Beijing University and Hebei regardless of his studies, this kind of ability is not something ordinary people can have.This is what the principal said in person, and there is a vague background of the Beijing Standing Committee member Zhang. There is no shortage of friends for such people in the school. Xingzhi's cold ass.Lin Cheng was in charge of the students, so how could he not have heard of Du Xingzhi's name?Zhang Wanfei from the medical department came from the same line as him, and he was very popular in his school. Du Xingzhi just kept a low profile, but no one really dared not take him seriously.
"The bully is bullying my family?" He sneered, his eyes swept over everyone in the room unkindly, and paused when they fell on Xu Sheng's face, he was dazzled by his pale and bloodless face A little bit surprised.
Xu Sheng's feet almost went limp from fright, a dog that bites does not bark, he has never really understood the meaning of this sentence in his life!
He was envious of that circle, how could he not know a thing or two about the celebrities in the circle?Not to mention anything else, the arrogant Cao Yu who played with Du Xingzhi was so enviable. With his cold face and dead character, he could have countless fans in the talented student union, let alone in that small circle. Du Xingzhi, who also appeared to be the leader.A look from the other party froze the blood in his whole body. He had fantasized countless times that he was invited by Qingyan Youjia to join this kind of small circle that was crowded and hard to get in, but he never expected that he would be in such a small circle. get to know each other under the circumstances.
Realizing that his grandfather still wanted to provoke Sapo desperately, Xu Sheng's pupils shrank, and he grabbed him and covered his mouth tightly with the strength he didn't know where.
Grandpa Xu was struggling to break free from his grandson's shackles, but Xu Sheng bowed his waist and whispered to Du Xingzhi with a pale face, "It's just a misunderstanding. The old man in the family is used to relying on the old and selling the old. Please forgive me, Senior Du..."
Du Xingzhi frowned, this person's attitude made him feel powerless as if he had punched cotton, but before he could speak again, the frown already scared Xu Sheng enough.Xu Sheng didn't dare to be presumptuous any more, and swept away the previous self-confidence and aggressiveness, and begged Zhang Ze with his eyes: "Ah Ze, it is indeed my fault to suspect you randomly, but you also understand that I lost more than 3 yuan. How anxious, I apologize to you for what happened today, okay?"
Xu Sheng didn't remember that he had ever spoken in such a low voice in his life, but it was not up to him to choose whether to bow his head now. After weighing the pros and cons, his face could only be temporarily abandoned.He regretted that his intestines were green, and his back was wet with sweat, his hands and feet were weak. If he had known that Zhang Ze had such a connection behind him, he would not have taken Zhang Ze to the knife with his great courage.
His grandfather struggled twice after his mouth was covered, and he wanted to say something after breaking Xu Sheng's hand, but Xu Sheng yanked him hard: "Apologize!!!!"
He knew his grandson's temper. Xu Sheng's tense attitude made him puzzled. Looking at Du Xingzhi, who finally came to the office in full swing, he vaguely understood that his grandson was a bully. He picked the wrong person and kicked him to the iron plate. , suddenly tensed up.He remembered what he said to Zhang Ze just now, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, and cold sweat immediately covered his forehead.He opened his mouth dully on the spot, and he became much weaker, and said in a low voice: "It's not that bad luck..."
Xu Sheng's group of relatives, who had been silent all this time but had a strong presence, also changed their colors at this moment, and their posture of rushing out also restrained, and they stood obediently behind Xu Sheng one by one, watching their noses, noses, noses, and hearts.
After Xu Sheng apologized, Qi Ji's eyes were fixed on Zhang Ze. Zhang Ze frowned. He was still angry in his heart, and he knew that the other party's attitude was definitely not because he regretted framing him. , just knew that they couldn't afford Du Xingzhi.Looking at the group of people who were so arrogant just a moment ago, they were silent at the moment, and he didn't have the slightest idea of being moved.
Seeing that he did not express his opinion, beads of sweat rolled down the corner of Xu Sheng's forehead.A trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.He will never forget such an embarrassing scene in his life, and he will not know how to face Zhang Ze in the future. The other party is still pretending to take Joe. It is really unfair. Some people are born different from ordinary people. He obviously has no advantages, but relying on his family background, he can live comfortably for the rest of his life.
But at this moment, he didn't dare to express any dissatisfaction, and the hand that was holding his grandfather tightly began to tremble slightly with the nervousness.Grandpa Xu secretly glanced at his grandson, gritted his teeth and knelt down with a plop——
"It's me who is so old that I don't know Taishan!! You two adults have a lot!! Don't care about petty people like us!!!!"
This sound really blew away half his life's dignity, Mr. Xu blushed with embarrassment, he didn't dare to lift his head, his heart seemed to be pinched by a pair of giant hands, the pain was so painful that he couldn't breathe.But what could he do?Xu Sheng is the only seedling of the Xu family, the lifeblood of the three generations. It is good to let him, an old man with half his leg in the mud, do the shameful things. The grandson still has half of his life ahead, and he will hold his head high in the future Just go!
The moment he knelt down, Du Xingzhi pulled Zhang Ze and jumped away. Du Xingzhi was startled at first, and then great annoyance came to his heart.
This is a different kind of coercion, forcing Zhang Zeyan to forgive them insincerely by using their status as old people.
He snorted coldly, knowing that Zhang Ze might kneel down because of this, he simply took Zhang Ze's hand and opened the office door and strode out. As he left, he said forcefully to Lin Cheng behind the desk: "Call the police."
No one expected them to react like this. Lin Cheng almost subconsciously picked up the phone after he finished speaking and broadcast the alarm number. Neither Xu Sheng nor his grandfather thought that Du Xingzhi would be so ruthless. I was dumbfounded.After Lin Cheng finished speaking to the police officer on the other side of the microphone, the old man Xu suddenly let out a desperate wail, threw himself on the table, tore off the phone and threw it at Lin Cheng: "Withdraw the case!!! Withdraw the case !!!!!!”
Lin Cheng was stunned by the smash, and a strong anger surged in his heart: If you don't die, you won't die. If you want to do something wrong, what's the point of using him to vent?
He also suppressed the original idea of turning a major event into a minor matter. This kind of tricky person will definitely be more courageous next time if he doesn't teach him a lesson.This time I met someone who is not easy to mess with, what about next time?Does anyone have the ability to prove their innocence like Du Xingzhi?
Lin Cheng frowned to avoid old man Xu's attack, straightened his suit collar, and said righteously: "The police is for everyone's sake. The school will not wrong a good person, nor let a bad person go. Wait until After the surveillance is called out, the school will investigate the cause and effect carefully, and after the thief is caught, no matter who it is, the school will persuade him to leave."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Sheng with deep meaning in his eyes. Seeing that he really reacted as if struck by lightning, he immediately confirmed the guess in his heart, and his disgust towards Xu Sheng increased a little.
Lin Cheng winked at a few colleagues who were dumbfounded, and everyone took advantage of the short quiet time to escape from the office together.A group of people in the office stood there in a daze, and after exchanging a few glances with each other, old man Xu squatted on the ground covering his face and broke down crying.
Xu Sheng's eyes went dark, he stepped back a few steps and leaned into his grandmother's arms, opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound.
*******
After what happened last night, Zhang Ze is really embarrassed to meet Du Xingzhi now.
Just now he was out of breath, he just wanted to find someone to back him up, his sister is a girl who should be protected, and he didn't want Zhang's mother and the others to know about such a bad thing, besides Du Xingzhi, he couldn't think of anyone who would be better up.But now that he left the horrible school office, Du Xingzhi's sense of presence suddenly increased, especially the big palm he was holding, which was rough and hot, and the temperature penetrated through the skin, as if it was going to dry Zhang Ze like.
While walking, Zhang Ze awkwardly shook off Du Xingzhi's hand, frowning: "Thank you just now."
Du Xingzhi looked back at him, the anger in his stomach dissipated immediately, and a gentle smile flashed in his eyes: "No need to do this. We are a family. In fact, I am very happy that you can think of coming to me when you encounter difficulties. "
Zhang Ze lowered his head, always feeling that what he said sounded a bit wrong no matter what, but after thinking about it, he felt that he was too sensitive because of what happened last night.
Thinking of last night, his ears turned red again, and his cold demeanor dissipated a lot: "What happened last night..."
Du Xingzhi's complexion was complete, and he looked at his expression carefully, and found that there was obvious resistance in the depths of his eyes, and he smiled bitterly in his heart: "I have already said that many good brothers will 'help each other' like that. Isn't it better for others to do it? Are you comfortable with yourself?"
Zhang Ze nodded hesitantly. There was indeed a big difference between Du Xingzhi's hands and his own.He also asked Five Fingers Girl for help when he had an idea before. It was very cool, but it was absolutely impossible to compare it with last night.And now that I think about it, except for the abrupt kiss yesterday, Du Xingzhi and him were just comforting each other with their hands the whole time, and none of the processes he found on the Internet appeared at all.
Zhang Ze was a little embarrassed again, always feeling that his current awkwardness was caused by a guilty conscience.Where there is a Buddha in his eyes, there is a Buddha in his heart. He first had a sex dream in which the main character was Du Xingzhi, and then found out that he might be gay, so he saw that all the men in the world became gay.In fact, where are there so many homosexuals?He has never met a homosexual since he was a child and he lived a long life in his previous life. This is the case in the open 21st century, and it is even more so in this era.There is nothing weird about Du Xingzhi's usual behavior, and getting along with those friends who have a good time is also very normal, there is no ambiguous posture of dating at all.
Suspecting that a heterosexual is interesting to him, Zhang Ze can't help laughing at himself for being too narcissistic.
After thinking clearly, he scratched his head, raised his head and smiled at Du Xingzhi.
"It's the first time for me... I'm just not used to it. I left without saying goodbye yesterday. I'm sorry."
Du Xingzhi saw at a glance the depression he had forced himself to calm down, and he felt pity and pity in his heart, only feeling that the person he held on top of his heart was so silly that people couldn't look away.Worried about being spotted, Du Xingzhi didn't dare to show an overly aggressive expression. He just smiled softly and stretched out his hand to hold the hand that Zhang Ze had just thrown off him.
Zhang Ze trembled all over, as if all his senses were sucked away by that hand.But he just felt that heterosexuals would never have such nasty thoughts like himself, and he was worried that Du Xingzhi would see him as an outlier if he reacted too much. Although he felt awkward in every way, he didn't dare to think of throwing away Du Xingzhi again.
Du Xingzhi led him out a few steps, turned his head and glanced at the school office, his originally soft eyes were instantly tainted with darkness.
Xu Sheng, right... He wrote down this account.
The two of them almost disappeared, Cao Yu and the others who were hiding in the corner came back to their senses.The unhappiness that has been hanging on Cao Yu's face all year round has long since disappeared, and the other young people are not much better, staring at the other end of the corridor with hellish eyes, Cao Yu stammered and asked: "I... I didn't see clearly?"
"I think I can see too clearly." Hu Xuejian had a toothache on his face, "Oh, why didn't the Bodhisattva pick out Lao Tzu's dog's eyes, and he went blind."
Cao Yu nodded with embarrassment; "... I'm blind."
That person is Du Xingzhi?The difference from the usual image is too big!Smiling like an idiot, it's unbelievable to think about it normally!
&&&&&
For the next period of time, Xu Sheng was extremely worried.
In fact, there is no monitoring equipment at the intersection downstairs of the dormitory. Although Beijing is rich, in this era, it will not press the monitoring system at this kind of intersection with only mediocre traffic.However, Du Xingzhi made a move, and dug out a surveillance camera outside the school that happened to be on the dormitory building. After negotiating with the unit to which the surveillance belongs, he got the content. Sheng went back to the dormitory building.This is different from the alibi he swore and insisted on, and what's more, he came out sneakily and clutched his bulging waist. Laptops these days are thick and heavy, and the shape of the waist and abdomen can be vaguely distinguished One or two, the iron chain tied to the computer that fell down from the clothes inadvertently became out-and-out evidence.
After the truth came out, we started to deal with it. Persuasion was just a threat to scare people. Zhang Ze didn't want to drive people to a dead end, but with Du Xingzhi putting pressure on him, it was absolutely impossible for Xu Sheng to do such a thing. Get out of the way again.The school affairs office arranged for Xu Sheng to apologize to Zhang Ze in public at a certain class meeting, and then circulated a criticism in the school, and recorded a sum in the file, which was considered a very serious punishment.
Knowing that he didn't need to be persuaded to leave, Xu Sheng came back to life. Although asking him to admit his actions in public would be tantamount to killing him, but the old people in the family forced him to die, so he could only Follow the punishment of the school office one by one.
Gao Fushuai's unmistakable mask was exposed. The appearance of his grandfather kneeling on the ground in the Academic Affairs Office was also accidentally seen by students outside the office. I don't know who passed it on. There were rumors everywhere that Xu Sheng had been arrested for stealing, and Xu's family members went to the school office and kowtowed and begged the school not to pursue it.Xu Sheng also figured out a name, but it's a pity that it's notorious.
The gazes cast on him by others made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, especially the goddess Xiao Miaomiao, who he had a crush on, was also one of the people who believed in the rumors. This hit Xu Sheng more than anything else.
He cares most about what other people think of him, wishing that everyone would regard him as a genuine rich, handsome and rich second generation, dreaming that one day he can drive an arrogant convertible sports car roaring on the streets like in the novel, or embrace the face of an angel The big beauty with a devil's figure gallops across the endless grassland against the breeze and listening to the most popular rock music.The envious eyes of others are treasures more valuable than any reward.
In the past, he spent a lot of money in school, and his family gave him 2000 yuan a month for living expenses, and sometimes it was not enough at the end of the month.Buying water can drink Coke but not mineral water, going out can eat KFC and never touch fast food, in order to buy a brand-name shirt with a big logo, he can eat other people’s meals for a month, such a man, after suddenly losing the halo of falsehood , There is always a sense of unreliability that I am running naked.
When it was time for get out of class to end, he packed up his books, hid in a corner with his head down, and carefully came out of the classroom when everyone was almost gone.
Along the road, there were always people whispering to each other in groups of two and two, and those alumni who used to be warm and close when he paid for the treats could not see that they had ever called him brothers.He always felt that there were countless staring eyes on his body.Secretly clenched his hands, he gritted his teeth and walked quickly through this corridor that every time he walked was tantamount to torture.
When he returned to the dormitory, the door was slightly open, and he knew that everyone inside had already arrived, so he hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should just go in like this.
There is light music in the room, and the singer is a popular female star. In the past, he would definitely join in, and use all kinds of tricky words to make his taste different, but now he dare not do this Yes, Chen Yuan had satirized him for several times, no matter how arrogant Xu Sheng was, he also remembered his lesson.
Try to enter the dormitory as unobtrusively as possible. The relaxed atmosphere inside is completely different from the outside. There are desktop computers installed on the other three desks in the room, and three roommates are sitting side by side typing papers. Seeing him come in He didn't look any further, just bowed his head and went about his own business.After that incident happened, the three of them regarded him as a transparent person, and did not easily interact with him. Xu Sheng felt embarrassed at first, but when he was ridiculed outside the dormitory, which was more terrifying than exclusion, Gradually, this ignorance is regarded as a gift.
The worried sarcasm did not appear, even if it was Zhang Ze, the other party involved, he just glanced back at Xu Sheng and didn't pay attention.Xu Sheng was so frightened by his gaze that he stood there, heaved a sigh of relief when the other party turned his head, and pursed his lips.
There was embarrassment in his heart, but more happiness.If it wasn't for this incident, he would never have known that he had made so many enemies in the school.It's just a small fuse, so many people can't wait to tear down his wall. It's not enough to beat the dog in the water, but they want to make him unable to eat and sleep at night to be happy.Xu Sheng was suspicious at first, and for a while, he believed that Zhang Ze used his connections to drive him out of Beijing University.But the more time passed, the more he realized that his original guess was like a joke, Zhang Ze never took him seriously.Even recalling the final confrontation between the two, in Zhang Ze's eyes, it was more like the barking of a clown, right?
Xu Sheng laughed at himself and sighed.However, he also vaguely touched the thick fog that had covered his eyes in the past. When the fog was removed, the scenery behind was within reach.
He understood where he was wrong, and objectively understood how annoying his previous personality was, and gradually found his own position. Before he fully understood the sophistication of being a human being, this kind of tempering might not be the same. This is a good thing, it will allow him not to suffer so much after leaving the society to usher in transformation, and it will also allow him to understand more deeply that he has grown up, and the relationship with his friends is no longer a relationship that can be devoted to a pack of shrimp crackers .
From this point of view, he is grateful to Zhang Ze.It is precisely because of this that among all the people in the dormitory, he is the only one who is the most careful and respectful to Zhang Ze.But now his politeness is definitely not out of fear of his background. With the previous conflicts as a foreshadowing, he understands that even if he is wholeheartedly a dog, Zhang Ze may not accept him regardless of past suspicions.This kind of politeness is an instinctive response after he has explored the ways of the world. To Zhang Ze, he feels guilty and ashamed, but the jealousy and resentment he used to have become less and less day by day.
In all fairness, if he had swapped positions with Zhang Ze and had enough power to back him up, he would definitely not be living as comfortably as he is today.The exclusion and cold reception are just a chain effect, but it has little to do with Zhang Ze.
Carefully covering himself behind the bed curtain, Xu Sheng carefully looked out from the gap in the bed curtain, and his eyes fell on Zhang Ze below.Letting go of deep-rooted prejudices and looking at Zhang Ze again, the outstanding appearance and cool and tranquil temperament are really easy to make people feel good.This fact also made Xu Sheng even more frustrated. Only now did he have the idea of wanting to be friends with Zhang Ze, but it was too late.
********
After completing the formalities, the shops on Chaowai Street began to be renovated.The decoration style of Zhangze is still the same as that of Huaixing’s storefront, but some details have been changed. That kind of transparent glass window is also rare in Beijing. Before the store was completed, many decoration teams around came to join in the fun and learn from it. If you hold hands again, the renovation progress of the store will be faster than that of the store in the same period.
Du's Shengjian came to Beijing, with greater business opportunities and greater competition.Old Beijing is adjacent to Tianjin, and the delicacies of the two places communicate with each other. The threshold of the market is definitely much higher than that of Huaixing. At least the northerners always eat steamed buns. Fried buns can occasionally be seen in stalls in Beijing. If it is not for food For the sake of never being eliminated by the market, Zhang Ze still prefers to manage women's clothing with a promising future in Beijing.
Zhang Ze borrowed the money for the decoration from Zhang's mother. Materials in Beijing are cheaper than Huaixing, but labor is more expensive.Zhang Ze spent a total of more than [-] yuan on a renovation including kitchen equipment, and personally supervised the work of the most sophisticated smoke and sewage exhaust system to make it perfect. One thing, there is nothing impossible.
There is still some time before the store opens, and Zhang Ze has successfully spent the winter vacation. He plans to go back to Huaixing and discuss with Zhao Mingming whether to bring him to Beijing for a period of time.After all, after such a long time, Huaixing must have been brought out a group of apprentices, and there is currently no one he can trust in Beijing. If he is worthy of his trust, he wants to promote this group of old people who have followed him the longest to take charge of their own affairs in the future. areas of expertise.
He is not the only one who wants to go back to Huaixing. Du Xingzhi has a group of old friends who want to exchange feelings regularly. Zhang's mother also plans to take her children back to her natal home to visit their elderly parents after leaving home for so long. Zhang Su is not that troublesome. It just so happens Stay in Beijing to sit in the company, and after Du Xingzhi and Fa Xiaomen get in touch with each other, they will go back to Zhang's old house to celebrate the New Year together.
Happiness is really something to be won. In the past, during the New Year, the whole family would sit together and chat and eat in silence. At most, they would prepare a New Year’s Eve dinner, and they didn’t have to worry about anything else.But now, before the end of the year, Zhang Su and Zhang's mother began to discuss gift-giving matters, and Du Xingzhi also stayed in Hebei for a long time without returning to Beijing. It is sympathy.
The relationship between the two has now stabilized. Zhang Ze has gradually become convinced of Du Xingzhi's "brothers helping each other". Ze is no longer too obsessed with the accident that happened that night. The relationship between the two of them has generally eased a lot compared to before, and they tend to return to the state of the previous life.Du Xingzhi cared about Zhang Ze, and Zhang Ze also accepted his affection. In addition, the status of the two people was basically equal now, and Zhang Ze didn't always have low self-esteem like in his previous life. Although he was still a little colder in comparison, this change has already Du Xingzhi, who had been posting cold butts for a long time, was quite satisfied.
On the day of leaving school, Zhang Ze packed his notes and a few pieces of clothing in his suitcase, and bid farewell to Chen Yuanhua Maosong.
These two people basically haven't talked to Xu Sheng since the theft in the dormitory last time, and they don't know many things that happened in the school office that day. The relationship between Zhang Ze and Du Xingzhi is still a secret so far. At best, they knew that Zhang Ze's family background was pretty good, and they didn't make a fuss like Xu Sheng.That's right, it's hard to get a son from a poor family these days. Unless you're born a genius, those who can train their children into the School of Management of Peking University will not be so tight.
Hua Maosong felt a little regretful: "Wenzhou is very comfortable in winter. If you are willing to go to my house, I will definitely entertain you well. My cousins have agreed to go to Macau to gamble this weekend. If you come with me, you can apply for a passport. I can catch up."
Chen Yuan curled his lips: "You just know that you can't teach well, and take people to gamble?" He said and patted Zhang Ze on the shoulder, "Don't go, this is pushing you into the fire pit."
Zhang Ze grinned, Hua Maosong touched the back of his head, his face was blush.Chen Yuan's mouth is bitter, but his heart is good, and his three views are outrageously upright. He attaches great importance to gambling and messing with the relationship between men and women. Ten or eight girlfriends had a good time, and after that, they were ridiculed by Chen Yuan for more than ten days, so until now they have not dared to do anything outside behind the back of Wenzhou girlfriends.
Everyone understands that Chen Yuan's paranoia must be related to some experiences. Every family has their own hard-to-read scriptures. Now that they have become friends, everyone tries to accommodate each other within the scope of their ability.
The two of them had a car to pick them up and left early, before the appointment time with Du Xingzhi arrived, Zhang Ze sat alone in the dormitory waiting for Du Xingzhi to come.
Xu Sheng, who hadn't shown his face all this time, suddenly opened the door and came in. When he saw Zhang Ze, he paused, and his eyes lingered on Zhang Ze's face. His expression was a little strange, as if hesitating and forbearing.
Zhang Ze turned his head and glanced at the ground. All the luggage was taken away. Xu Sheng was the first to leave early in the morning. What did he do when he came back?
As a result, Xu Sheng went straight to him, and when Zhang Ze didn't know why, he took out a box from the backpack on his shoulder, about the size of an adult's palm, wrapped in black gift paper, and tied a Blood red ribbon.
He maintained a cool attitude, pursed his lips tightly, his eyes drifted, and handed the box to Zhang Ze with one hand.
Zhang Ze froze for a moment, subconsciously reached out to take it.
He seemed to be relieved, the corners of his tightly pursed lips moved slightly, and before Zhang Ze could ask what it was, he turned around and left quickly.
Because Xu Sheng's sense of existence was very weak during this period, Zhang Ze didn't realize that Xu Sheng had given him a gift after a few seconds, and his first reaction was to raise his hairs guardedly, guessing what intentions he had behind it.
But he had already received the item in his hand, and it was too late to regret it. He hesitated for a moment, tore off the ribbon and wrapping paper, put the box on the table, stood far away, and used a long ruler to pick the box open.
Surprisingly, there was a white envelope at the top.
Zhang Ze took out the envelope, and there was a mobile phone lying on the sponge and flannel underneath. After looking closely, he remembered that this was the one Xu Sheng used before.There were only three words in the envelope: "I'm sorry."
When Du Xingzhi came to pick him up, he saw a smile on Zhang Ze's face, and couldn't help being curious: "What good happened?" Zhang Ze was rarely so happy.
Zhang Ze smiled and said nothing.

After catching the earliest flight, it was almost noon when we arrived in Huaixing. When we got out of the airport, Zhang Ze was surprised that the person who came to pick him up was land.
It's been a while, Lu Lu is even more flamboyant than before.He shaved a short cockscomb hair, permed the red color of the bag, and wore a large leather jacket with a bunch of jingling iron chains. His jeans were also baggy, and he also wore one-sided earrings. Not like a nice guy.When Zhang's mother saw him, her eyes froze. Although she had been gradually integrating into the fashion circle since she started creating the brand, she was not surprised to see someone like Lu Lu around her.
Lu Lu was still enthusiastic about Zhang Ze, but not as enthusiastic as before. He smiled and gave him a hug, not much nostalgia, but more about reminiscing about the past with Du Xingzhi and being polite to Zhang's mother.
He sent Zhang Ze and the others back to the old store. Speaking of which, apart from the attic of the old store, the family has no place to live in Huaixing now.The construction in Shizuoka Village had just started not long ago, they chose a terraced building, and the delivery of the house was nowhere in sight.The rest are all storefronts under the name of Zhang Ze, and there are no houses available for living.
While watching the children carrying their suitcases to the attic, Zhang's mother secretly wondered whether she should buy a house in Huaixing.After all, this is the foundation of the family, and there are shops here, so buying a house is convenient for living in the future.
The old store is managed by an old friend who gets along well with Zhang's mother. This person is called Li Yue, an old cultural person, and it is easy to collect bills.The store was previously because of a
