After leaving Chen Wen's home, Xu Lanting was in no hurry to leave.He walked slowly over the poor soil beneath his feet.

Looking up, there are green mountains and green waters, but behind the green mountains are countless poor families who can't get out of the mountains, and the places where the green water flows can't irrigate new vitality.

Xu Lanting stood on the ridge of the field, watching the children in the distance carrying the burden to deliver meals to the adults who were busy in the fields.

He thought of the childhood that Chen Zhu had mentioned.In Chen Zhu's mouth, his childhood was happy and fulfilling, but what Xu Lanting saw was poverty and poverty.

He couldn't help thinking, is his little boy carrying the burden on his small back like this, walking in the fields to deliver meals to his family?

Do you stay with the loess all day long, or wear tattered straw sandals to go to school?

Only then did Xu Lanting realize that he knew very little about Chen Zhu.

He once didn't even understand why the person sleeping next to him was so frugal, why he stubbornly refused to leave a grain of rice, why he was reluctant to even buy a pair of newer shoes.

Now, looking at the scenery in front of him, Xu Lanting seemed to have seen that thin young man grow up here.

His azhuding would not complain about the poverty in front of him.He always grows toward the sun, poor but not poor, poor but not bitter.

The boy's back is always straight, and he can grow into a real gentleman even in the barren soil.

Xu Lanting was relieved and distressed.

Xu Lanting did not refute Chen Wenguo's words, nor could he refute them.Chen Zhu is a handsome gentleman who grew up in the sunshine, but he is a playboy who walks in the dark abyss.

Chen Zhu was like a ray of light shining into the abyss, making the man have to face his own decadent life.

The young man is like a mirror, mercilessly reflecting Xu Lanting's darkness and misery.

Therefore, the sentence "You are not worthy of Chen Zhu" made Xu Lanting unable to refute.

The report from his subordinates came from the mobile phone, Xu Lanting looked at Chen Zhu's whereabouts in the email, and finally felt relieved.

However, the next moment, he saw the person who was protecting Chen Zhu from behind - Fang Xu.

He remembered that dark boy's protection of Chen Zhu that day in the gymnasium, and his eyes darkened.

Overthinking one's abilities...Xu Lanting looked at the information about Fang Xu sent over there, and his face gradually became gloomy.

"I'll go back to the capital in the afternoon." Xu Lanting ordered the people under his command to prepare the car, but it wasn't for business, "Go to Zhongguancun."

It never occurred to Xu Lanting that the person he thinks about day and night is so close, right under his nose...with another man.

A whistle blows and the game begins.

Chen Zhu was facing professional players of the basketball club, so it was hard to avoid attacking, and the ball in his hand was intercepted time and time again.

Fortunately, he has always been calm, staring at the opposite striker the whole game, jumping up when he saw the right time, and successfully got the ball.

Chen Zhusheng has a very high shooting accuracy rate, and often getting the ball means scoring points.

I saw the young man making a leap, as fast as a white shadow - with a "bang", the ball entered the frame.

"Brother Niubi!" Fang Xu is a walking loudspeaker, as long as Chen Zhu scores a goal, his voice will definitely be louder than the cheerleaders outside the field.

This made Chen Zhu quite embarrassed.After all, the person on the opposite side is very strong, and his ability to score points also has the bonus of luck.

After a game, Fang Xu spit as much as Chen Zhu sweated.

"Brother Chen!" Fang Xu pulled Chen Zhu away. He didn't care about the cheerleaders who were waiting to move around, so he pulled them out, "Let's go, let's go to Hongji to celebrate Meal!"

The anxious and helpless comments from the girls came from behind, "Why is that man like this..." They didn't even have a chance to talk to the handsome guy!

Chen Zhu lifted his skirt to wipe off his sweat casually, and smiled, "Okay, I invite you."

"That's impossible." Fang Xu jumped up to touch the basket as he walked, "I invite, I invite! Let me celebrate for you."

Chen Zhu insisted: "I invite you." These days he lived at Fang Xu's house, and found a tutoring job under the introduction of Aunt Fang, and Fang Xu also introduced the job of accompanying the basketball court. Li thanked him.

Fang Xu helped him a lot, not only in terms of money, but also his arrogant temper made Chen Zhu think about many things clearly.

Fang Xu's freedom and ease suddenly affected Chen Zhu and gave him a lot of strength.

"It just so happens that I'm getting paid today." Chen Zhu said, "Let me treat you."

Fang Xu waved his hands helplessly: "Cheng Chengcheng, listen to big brother."

Chen Zhu couldn't help laughing, "Aren't you older than me?" He learned from Fang Xu's mother that Fang Xu, a scumbag, had been repeating grades since the third grade because of his poor grades.

"What are you talking about, don't slander people, I'm only eighteen!" Fang Xu ran up cheekily and quickly, singing hummingly while running, "My young man, a flower——"

The boy's cheerful voice stopped abruptly, and turned into a roar: "What the hell are you doing here? Get out!"

Chen Zhu heard the voice and stepped forward quickly, "Why..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the man standing at the door with his arms folded.

"You old dog, how dare you come to the door!" Fang Xu had already rushed forward angrily, but before Chen Zhu could stop him, Fang Xu punched Xu Lanting's dignified face.

It's over...Gritting his teeth, Chen Zhu ran up and hugged Fang Xu, pulling him back, "Fang Xu, calm down!"

"You bastard!" Fang Xu already valued friendship, and he liked Chen Zhu very much. After he found out about the entanglement between Chen Zhu and Xu Lanting, he felt bad in his heart. Now that Xu Lanting wanted to pester Chen Zhu, he I can't stand it any longer.

When he saw Xu Lanting's fox face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, the fire in his heart couldn't stop rising, "You scum, you still have the face to come to Chen Zhu!"

"Fang Xu!" Chen Zhu supported the man, hugged him heavily, and managed to hold the man who was about to charge forward, "Calm down."

"Chen Zhu, don't stop me, I'm going to do justice for the sky today—"

There was a soft laugh, and the man raised his fingers to wipe away the blood from his lips, squinting at the two people who were tugging at each other.

"Little ghost—" Xu Lanting's eyes moved down, staring at Chen Zhu's hands holding Fang Xu, with a chill in his eyes, "If you don't want to die, get out of the way."

Xu Lanting's eyes were too sinister, Chen Zhu subconsciously blocked Fang Xu, he turned his head to Fang Xu with a comforting look, "It's okay, Fang Xu, you go to the locker room and wait for me first."

Fang Xu refused, Chen Zhu raised his hand and pressed his shoulder again, "Don't worry, trust me."

Affected by Chen Zhu's calm attitude, Fang Xu also calmed down. He muffled, "Then hurry up. If anything happens, call for help!"

Chen Zhu was amused by him and nodded.

Xu Lanting on the side looked at the two "flickering", the chill in his eyes deepened.

Very good, I found a backer so quickly... Chief Xu Lanting narrowed his eyes, and cast a gloomy glance at Fang Xu.

It's ridiculous to want to snatch someone from him with such a brat who is overconfident...

Xu Lanting waited patiently aside, even though his eyes were overflowing with malice, he kept a proper sense of proportion.

He was waiting, waiting for Chen Zhu to walk towards him.

Waiting for his little friend, he came over by himself.

But Chen Zhu stood where he was, and after looking at him from a distance, he took off the backpack on his shoulder and looked down for something.

Xu Lanting watched the boy's movements in silence, his thoughts mixed.

"Here is 3 yuan." Chen Zhu counted the whole number and handed it to Xu Lanting, "I have already written the receipt, please check if there is any problem."

It turned out that there were only these left between them.Xu Lanting was silent, and didn't want to pay attention to the money in Chen Zhu's hand.

But remembering the wad of money that fell on the ground last time, and remembering the angry appearance of the young man, Xu Lanting paused, but still stretched out his hand

The man's fingertips were slender but cold. When he took the money, he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and gently slid across Chen Zhu's palm.

Chen Zhu clenched his fists, ignoring the lingering warmth in his palm, and just carefully packed his schoolbag.

He didn't even say a word to Xu Lanting, he picked up his schoolbag and was about to walk out the door.

When passing by the man, he heard Xu Lanting's casual threat without any surprise, "Azhu, do you want to be pressed and kissed by me here?"

Chen Zhu stopped in his tracks and looked into the distance, not even giving up to Xu Lanting from the corner of his eye.

"I can only pay you so much for the time being—"

"Chen Zhu," Xu Lanting stood up straighter and approached slowly, "Let's have a chat, shall we?"

Chen Zhu actually sensed a hint of pleading from Xu Lanting's tone, and he wondered if he heard it wrong.

But Chen Zhu had to raise his guard, because the man in front of him was thoughtful and scheming, he was the most unpredictable person.

"Mr. Xu, I think your time is precious, so don't waste it on me."

"Azhu." The man stood neither far nor near, maintaining an appropriate distance, "Let's chat."

"Do not--"

Before Chen Zhu could speak, he heard the man say slowly, "If you don't want your friend to leave a record for beating someone."

Chen Zhu gritted his teeth, and finally turned his head to look at Xu Lanting.Chen Zhu is an upright person, and he really doesn't understand how a man can say the most vicious words in the most gentle tone.

"Azhu," Xu Lanting sighed, "I don't want to make the scene too embarrassing." But Chen Zhu refused him a thousand miles away, never letting him have any chance to get close.

Xu Lanting had no choice but to do whatever he could, and he couldn't just watch Chen Zhu leave side by side with another person.

Chen Zhu watched the man slowly approaching him, feeling like he was surrounded by poisonous snakes.

"What do you want to talk about."

Xu Lanting smiled and looked straight at Chen Zhu, "Let's talk in the car."

Seeing more and more people watching around, Chen Zhu had no choice but to hold his schoolbag tightly and got into the car.

There was ample space in the car, but Chen Zhu had nowhere to hide, so he could only sit beside Xu Lanting.

He said coldly: "Mr. Xu, what do you want to talk about?"

Chen Zhu heard the man's long sigh and a slightly tired voice, "What are you talking about... let's talk, how much do I miss you these days."

Chen Zhu got up and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the man raising his hand.

"Azhu, do you hate me that much?" Xu Lanting tried every step of the way.

But Chen Zhu didn't answer, "It's meaningless to talk about these things." He sat a little farther away, but fortunately Xu Lanting didn't move too much, just looked at him deeply.

Chen Zhu waited for a while, but did not wait for the man's next words, "If you have nothing else to do—"

"Chen Zhu." Xu Lanting finally got closer, "Let me hug you."

Before Chen Zhu refused, he gently and even cautiously wrapped his arms around his waist.

Different from the previous warm embrace, this hug is more like a man who is very tired and wants to find a shoulder to lean on.

Chen Zhu heard Xu Lanting's tired voice, "Azhu, I miss you very much."

Xu Lanting bowed his waist and embraced the person in his arms, feeling the unique refreshing saponin breath on Chen Zhu's body, and his heart that had been erratic for days finally landed slowly.

The young man's shoulders were warm and reliable, but his voice was so cold, "Xu Lanting, don't force me."

Xu Lanting let go of his hand with a wry smile, "Forcing you?"

"Xu Lanting, we have already broken up." Chen Zhu was indifferent as if he had changed, "If it's not necessary, I don't think we need to meet."

"Is there no need to meet, or do you not want to see me?"

As he wished, Chen Zhu replied coldly: "I don't want to see you." He paused, and then said, "Xu Lanting, I don't hate you. I just don't want to see you again, and I don't want to have too many entanglements with you."

Chen Zhu looked at him with cold eyes, "Do you want me to explain more clearly?"

The man remained silent without saying a word, but the moment Chen Zhu stretched out his hand to press the car door, a pair of hands hugged his waist tightly.

Then the world spun, Chen Zhu was pressed on the back of the chair, and in front of him were Xu Lanting's eyes as deep as the sea.

Xu Lanting didn't speak, but Chen Zhu could see the calm before the storm from his eyes.

Chen Zhu knew that Xu Lanting was really angry.And the person who angered this man often didn't end well.

Chen Zhu once saw with his own eyes that Xu Lanting was calm and breezy, and he would ruin his reputation with a wave of his hand.Just because that person used to swear a few dirty words at Xu Lanting while drinking at the dinner table.

Chen Zhu closed his eyes and waited for the man's storm. He never thought about it, but he didn't wait for it for a long time.

He opened his eyes involuntarily, and what he saw was Xu Lanting staring at him deeply.

"I went to Guizhou." Xu Lanting said softly, "I went to the old campus where you used to go to school, saw the Huangguoshu Waterfall you mentioned, and your cousin is just like you said, like a little tomato ,so cute."

"Azhu, I miss you very much." Xu Lanting leaned over and kissed Chen Zhu's forehead.Repeating my thoughts again and again.

Xu Lanting was a little dazed, and asked Chen Zhu, "Chen Zhu, I seem to love you more than I thought." The man kissed all the way down, "Azhu, what should I do."

Chen Zhu turned his head, he was no longer the one who was shaken by Xu Lanting's few words, especially after seeing Xu Lanting's hypocrisy and viciousness.

"Then please take care of your heart and don't bother me in the name of love."

He didn't want to have anything to do with Xu Lanting, even if the person in front of him showed unprecedented affection.

But the belated affection is like that expired cake, which only deserves to stay in the trash can.

Xu Lanting understood too late, and Chen Zhu grew up too fast, they were destined to be lost in the crowd.

"Leave me alone, you still have a wider world." Chen Zhu pushed the man, "Xu Lanting, isn't what you want to be free? Now that you have your wish, why do you have to trap yourself in a cage?"

Xu Lanting looked at Chen Zhu and didn't speak for a long time.

In the end, Xu Lanting let go of Chen Zhu, and when Chen Zhu left, he said slowly: "In the past, I was wrong."

Chen Zhu heard Xu Lanting's deep voice, his belated love and apology, "I'm sorry."

"But, Azhu, you are not a cage to me." Xu Lanting said, "It's mykisslanding."

The author has something to say: kisslanding: soft landing (I originally wanted to use softlanding, but this sounds more romantic haha, thank you for your support! Hug and kiss~
