In the private room just now, Qi Chen noticed that Xie Lian was not among those people, it seemed that he hadn't arrived yet.

Sure enough, as soon as the phone was picked up, Xie Lian asked, "What's the room number?"

Qi Chen asked, "Where are you?"

Xie Lian: "The hall."

"Wait for me there for a while." Qi Chen hung up the phone, left the bathroom and went out to find someone.

The music leaked a little along the wall. When passing by Gu Mingye's private room, the door was not closed tightly. He happened to hear someone inside talking to Gu Mingye. Hearing that they wanted to come to him, Qi Chen subconsciously quickened his pace and quickly walked around the corner .

The outside is square and square, but the inside is like a maze.Qi Chen went around several corners and caught a waiter temporarily before finding the hall.

Xie Lian was waiting there, and came over after seeing him, "Why are you so slow?"

"It's too convoluted inside." After Qi Chen explained, he seemed to be going in, so he struggled for a while and stopped, "Otherwise, I'll tell you the number of the private room, and you can go in by yourself."

Xie Lian slightly lowered his eyes to look at him, "What?"

Qi Chen: "...Suddenly something happened."

Xie Lian said directly: "I don't think you have something to do, but you are trying to hide from someone."

Qi Chen: "...do you have to be so direct?"

Xie Lian smiled, "Not directly, I'm afraid you won't understand."

Qi Chen: "..."

If he had encountered this sentence before, Qi Chen would probably have refuted a few words, but now he has to admit that he is indeed very slow, and did not think about the meaning of other people's words.If it wasn't for Gu Mingye's suggestion that he didn't delve into the meaning and refuse in time, he wouldn't be in such a dilemma now.

Xie Lian asked, "Don't want to go in?"

Qi Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"It's easy." Xie Lian stretched out his hand, "Give me the phone."

"What are you going to do?" Qi Chen asked, handing over the phone and unlocking it for him.

Xie Lian didn't answer, he lowered his head and tapped the screen a few times, and quickly returned it to him, "That's enough."

After finishing speaking, Xie Lian directly pulled him towards the elevator, and it happened that the elevator was free, so the two of them went in directly.

The elevator doors closed and began to descend.

Qi Chen was still looking down at the phone, trying to figure out what Xie Lian had done, and pressed the screen a few times, but it didn't turn on.

Just wondering if it was broken, Xie Lian next to him said, "It's turned off."

Qi Chen: "..."

Just as he moved his finger to the power button, Xie Lian said again: "I advise you not to turn it on."

His mind was seen through, Qi Chen simply asked him directly, "What did you do?"

Xie Lian said, "You guess."

The elevator stopped and two girls came in.

With the presence of outsiders, Qi Chen temporarily stopped talking.Those two were chatting and laughing, but one of them suddenly pulled the other, and the two were silent at the same time, but their expressions were suddenly excited.

Qi Chen belatedly felt that they seemed to be looking at him, looked down and found that Xie Lian hadn't let go of his hand.

No wonder he kept staring at them, Qi Chen felt a little embarrassed, and tried to pull back his hand, but it didn't move at all.Thinking that it would be even more embarrassing to make a noise, Qi Chen had no choice but to pretend not to notice, and waited until the elevator stopped.

Fortunately, after getting out of the elevator, the pair of girls walked in a different direction from them.

After getting out of sight, Qi Chen quickly pulled his hand out, and casually started a topic to cover up, "Why did you come down with me? Aren't you going to play?"

"I don't know them well, what did you do in the past?" Xie Lian didn't seem to notice his stiffness when he changed the subject, and led him to the side of the road, stopped a taxi with his hand, opened the back door, and signaled to Qi Chen go in.

Qi Chen didn't move, and asked, "Where are you going?"

According to Qi Chen's current thinking, it is natural that he does not want to stay outside any longer, and it is better to go home quickly.

Xie Lian stared at him and said, "I haven't eaten yet."

Qi Chen: "..."

That's right, I asked someone for help, and I have to pay back the favor no matter what.Besides, it was because of his invitation that Xie Lian came here without going home at night.

"Then let me treat you to dinner." Qi Chen sat in the back seat, watched the person sitting next to him, and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Xie Lian said: "You will know when you arrive."

Half an hour later, Qi Chen stood in front of the restaurant where Xie Lian met for the first time and then let the other party's pigeons go, unable to utter a word.

Xie Lianwan got out of the car one step at a time, walked to his side and gave him a half-smile look, "You shouldn't be in trouble this time, right?"

Qi Chen: "...No."

The time has passed 10:30, and most of the restaurants outside the school gate will not be open until late. Generally, they have already started packing up and thanking customers at this time.I don't know what method Xie Lian used to force him to keep opening the door.

Seeing that Xie Lian ordered a bunch of dishes that were exactly the same as last time, Qi Chen silently drank his saliva, thinking that the fact that this person holds grudges is the same as in the original plot.

When thinking of the crooked plot, one inevitably thinks of Gu Mingye.Qi Chen couldn't help being a little worried, and moved his hand on the table, subconsciously wanting to touch the phone in his pocket.

"Worried about Gu Mingye?"

Qi Chen paused and looked at the speaker.

Xie Lian was scalding a cup with hot water, and the light cast a small shadow on his face with his drooping eyelashes, so he couldn't see his expression clearly.

Qi Chen: "...you also know?"

"Only you don't know." Xie Lian said lightly.

Even Xie Lian, who just transferred to another school less than a week ago, knew that Gu Mingye liked him, but he didn't realize it at all.Qi Chen's mood became more complicated, and he couldn't help being depressed, "How do you know?"

"During the class dinner that day." Xie Lian said, "He made a bet with me to change the same table."

"Isn't that a joke?" Qi Chen recalled, "His childish nature used to be..."

Xie Lian raised his eyes and looked at him with a half-smile, "Really?"

"He's 16 years old, and he's a month older than you. Do you treat him like a child?" Xie Lian put down the hot cup, "I don't know, so you have a hobby of being a father?"

Qi Chen: "..."

Every sentence can't be refuted, but...

Qi Chen wondered, "How do you know he's a month older than me?"

Xie Lian said, "I read it on WeChat."

WeChat?

Qi Chen remembered that he didn't seem to have filled out this kind of privacy question on social software, but before he could ask, Xie Lian said again: "There is also the matter of your allergies last time."

"What's wrong with allergies?"

"You didn't ask him?"

Qi Chen raised his hand to touch the back of his neck. After a few days, the tingling sensation had completely subsided, and he had completely returned to his original appearance.

"No." Qi Chen didn't quite understand, "What does allergies have to do with Gu Mingye?"

Xie Lian stared at him for a while, then looked away expressionlessly, "If you say there is no, then there is no."

It just so happened that there was a knock on the door of the private room, and the waiter came in with a plate, interrupting the conversation between the two.

Qi Chen didn't delve into it any further. He didn't eat all night, so he was already hungry, so he stopped talking and started filling his stomach seriously.

This restaurant is not the best restaurant on the street outside the school, but it is clean and the service attitude is good, so there is nothing to criticize.After eating, Qi Chen took out his phone and was about to pay the bill, when he suddenly remembered that his phone was turned off.

Xie Lian next to him paid the money first, "I owe you this time first."

Qi Chen: "Then last time?"

Xie Lian put away his mobile phone, "It counts as last time."

Doesn't that mean he owes two meals?

Others are debt collectors and can't find the debtors, and they are debtors and can't find a chance to pay back the money.Qi Chen put away his phone in a complicated mood, and followed him downstairs.

It was almost eleven o'clock, and there were no people on the street.The dim streetlights elongated the shadows of the two of them obliquely, leaning close together.

Qi Chen followed him to the intersection, and finally remembered to ask, "By the way, what exactly did you tell Gu Mingye?"

Xie Lian said: "I said I didn't understand some of the chemistry materials, and I have to hand them in tomorrow. I asked you to come to the school to help me check."

At first glance, this statement seems to be well-founded, but it is full of loopholes when you think about it carefully. Whoever delayed the preparation of the materials until the last day, and still asked for help at this time.

Qi Chen reluctantly ignored the question, "How do you explain the shutdown?"

Xie Lian said, "No electricity."

Qi Chen: "...Is this reason too perfunctory?"

"It doesn't matter if it's perfunctory, I'll help you testify." Xie Lian reached out to stop a taxi, "Have you brought cash?"

Qi Chen replied subconsciously, "No."

"Then get in the car." Xie Lian said, "I'll take you back first."

The two sat in the back seat and the car started.

Qi Chen stared at the receding street scene outside the window, and his thoughts could not be controlled to diverge.

Xie Lian asked, "Thinking about him again?"

Qi Chen: "..."

Why is there a feeling of being caught mentally derailed, the atmosphere became a little subtle for a while, the driver in the front seat seemed to glance at them from the rearview mirror.

Putting aside his wild thoughts, Qi Chen explained: "I'm just thinking about how to explain to him after I go back, and it's impossible to keep procrastinating and avoiding it."

"Why not." Xie Lian said: "Tomorrow we will gather for a training camp. If we don't see each other for half a month, don't reply to any messages he sends. Two weeks is enough for him to figure it out."

Qi Chen: "..."

How are you so proficient.

After such a talk, the relationship between the two became a little familiar, so Qi Chen simply asked him directly, "Xie Lian, why did you transfer schools?"

He didn't shy away from the fact that he and Pei Ruoyan had been to City B before, "When I met Tang Ying earlier, he said that your family planned to arrange for you to go abroad."

"Well, I was supposed to leave last week." Xie Lian replied, "But I don't want to go."

Qi Chen asked curiously, "Why?"

Xie Lian turned his head to look at him, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "You have asked me so many questions, shouldn't I also ask you one?"

Qi Chen thought for a while, and realized that he was indeed the one who had been asking the question, so he said, "Then you can ask."

As if he didn't expect him to be so direct, Xie Lian was caught off guard and paused for a moment before saying, "I don't have anything to ask right now."

Thinking that Xie Lian was looking for an excuse to avoid it, Qi Chen was about to bring this topic up, when Xie Lian suddenly spoke again, looking straight into his eyes, "As for why I didn't go abroad..."

"Because I have other things I want to do more."
