Self-cultivation of spare tire

After finally coaxing him into the car, Xu Lanting leaned against the side of the street and lit a cigarette.

I haven't tasted nicotine for a long time, and I'm not used to it.Xu Lanting casually bit his cigarette, watching the car disappear at the intersection through the hazy white mist.

It seemed that Chen Zhu's faint warmth still remained in his palm, and he couldn't help but clenched his hands tightly, as if this could keep that person's warmth in his hands.

Xu Lanting himself realized that he looked like a fool, but he couldn't help rubbing his palms, immersed in the short touch just now.

"Sir!" The restaurant manager chased him out and asked Xu Lanting politely if he needed to prepare a birthday cake.

Xu Lanting: "No need." Because there is no so-called private room for guests, and no one wants to celebrate birthdays.

Xu Lanting took out the check and asked again: "I hope that the reservation will not delay the wages of all the waiters, so their wages will be counted to me."

The man smiled slightly and said, "Also, I hope you can keep these things secret."

The manager was confused, but nodded.

Xu Lanting stubbed out the cigarette butt and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, the person I'm dating probably won't be there today."

"Then, do you still have to arrange a birthday party?"

"No." Xu Lanting looked up at the end of the long street, "If there is a chance... next time."

The car stopped by the side of the road, before Chen Zhu got out of the car, he saw the figure waiting downstairs.

He sighed silently, thanked the driver, and prepared to pay.

But the driver refused Chen Zhu's money with a face of panic. It was the first time Chen Zhu saw someone so afraid of money.

Thinking about it, Xu Lanting has accumulated a lot of prestige, and the people under him dare not disobey the man's will.

Chen Zhu didn't bother the driver anymore, got up and got out of the car.

As soon as the car door opened, Chen Zhu saw Ye Xi looking over from a distance.

The blond boy stood in the wind, his clothes were messed up by the wind, he looked at Chen Zhu blankly and puzzled, as if he couldn't believe it.

How did his brother get out of Xu Lanting's car?

Xu Lanting seems to have become Ye Xi's demon. In order to fight against the cunning man, he has done all kinds of embarrassing things.

After all, what happened this time was because Ye Xi didn't want Chen Zhu to attend class under Xu Lanting's nose, so he insisted on going his own way and made a fuss.

Unexpectedly, it was self-defeating, and it became a farce instead.Ye Xi's childish and absurd behaviors time and time again pushed Chen Zhu further and further away.

"Brother." Ye Xi gritted his teeth, suppressed the bitterness in his heart, and smiled uglier than crying, "Let's go home."

"Ye Xi." Chen Zhu gently brushed away Ye Xi's hand on his arm, "You don't have anything to say?"

Ye Xi's eyes were red, and he tried his best to pretend to be calm, "Brother, can we talk about it when we go home?"

Seeing Chen Zhu's gentle eyebrows gradually turning cold, Ye Xi's heart sank.

He wanted to reach out to hug Chen Zhu, but he raised his hand, but he didn't dare to move.

He knew that although Chen Zhu was extremely gentle, he had his own bottom line of principles, and once he touched his bottom line, he would be forgiven without exception.

Xu Lanting was no exception, and he, Ye Xi, would not be that exception either.

"Is the construction site closed?" Chen Zhu asked him with a frown.

Ye Xi sniffed, and said in a muffled voice, "You don't even know what to do, what else am I going to do?" All his plans were shattered because of Ye Fulai's appearance.

Chen Zhu nodded, and asked again: "Is there anything else you want to say, or do you want to explain?"

Ye Xi raised his arms in a panic, wiped his tears, shook his head, and obediently waited for Chen Zhu to speak.

After a long time, he heard a helpless sigh.

Ye Xihong's eyes widened, and she couldn't help throwing herself into Chen Zhu's arms, "Brother, I know I was wrong."

Thinking of Chen Zhu's grievances from his father, Ye Xi regretted it too much. He was a young master who was raised by others since he was a child, and he always considered things according to his own preferences.

Ye Xi never thought that his lawlessness would hurt the person he loves the most.

"I'll never do this again, please, don't be angry, okay?"

Chen Zhu was silent for a long time, he slowly pushed Ye Xi away, looking at the red nose of the other party, he felt uncomfortable for a while.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Chen Zhu asked him.

Apart from apologizing, apart from regret, apart from these...is there nothing else to say?

Ye Xi shook his head, his golden hair limply pressed against his face, and tears filled his beautiful eyes.He looked at Chen Zhu, feeling so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak a word.

"Okay." Chen Zhu pursed his lips, and said slowly but firmly, "We all need to calm down, you go home first today."

The tears in Ye Xi's eyes finally overflowed, and the tears fell down in big drops.Chen Zhu paused, but still raised his hand to wipe away the teardrops on his cheeks.

Chen Zhu really didn't know what to say to Ye Xi, Xu Lanting couldn't get around it.

He was tired of explaining that he had nothing to do with Xu Lanting, and he didn't know how far he had to go so that Ye Xi could gain that vague sense of security.

Ye Xi was always used to looking up at him, but he didn't know that Chen Zhu would also be helpless and helpless.

Chen Zhu didn't know how to get along with Ye Xi, so he could only push Ye Xi away temporarily.

Even if Ye Xi brought him unparalleled happiness, even if Ye Xi's thoughtfulness made Chen Zhu feel at ease.

But Ye Xi's suspicion and jealousy have made Chen Zhu too tired and tired.

"Do you need me to see you off?" Chen Zhu asked him.

Ye Xi just lowered his head, weeping uncontrollably.He tugged at Chen Zhu's sleeve, like a lost lamb, flustered and at a loss.

After all, he is just a young boy who accidentally walked into Chen Zhu's gentle but complicated world. He was stunned by the sudden love, and because of Chen Zhu's excellence, he was in a state of anxiety all day long.

This love was sweet at first, just like the cold and delicious watermelon juice in the Australian orchard.

But summer will pass eventually.

"Brother... don't, don't want me..."

Chen Zhu sighed, and said, "I'll ask you one last time, do you have anything you want to ask me?"

Ye Xi pursed his lips and cried, "Brother..." His nose was flushed, and his face was full of guilt and grievance, "Don't be like this, please."

He was evading and apologizing again... Chen Zhu finally got angry and raised his hand to shake off Ye Xi's hand.

He said in a deep voice: "Why did Xu Lanting help me when I was in the restaurant, and why did I get out of Xu Lanting's car when I came home at night..." Chen Zhu was extremely disappointed, "Ye Xi, I don't believe you don't care about these things."

Of course Ye Xi cared, he cared madly.But facing Chen Zhu's repeated questioning, Ye Xi habitually evaded.

"You care about it, why don't you ask me directly?" Chen Zhu was angry, his eyes were red, "Ye Xi, when will you understand that Xu Lanting is not an obstacle between us, never has been!"

Chen Zhu: "What really keeps us farther and farther away is your suspicion and dishonesty."

"But Xu Lanting has no intention of letting you go!" Ye Xi finally broke out, holding Chen Zhu's shoulders, his eyes flushed, "Even if he pretends to be obedient on the surface, no matter how he tries to avoid suspicion, he never intends to let you go. .”

A sense of powerlessness enveloped Chen Zhu, and he didn't even know how to communicate with Ye Xi.

Ye Xi is young, he doesn't understand the crisis in a relationship, and he can't easily jump over it by blindly avoiding it.

The young Ye Xi still doesn't understand that when he meets an enemy, what he needs to do is to stand firmly with Chen Zhu instead of making small moves behind his back.

As long as they can stand together hand in hand, then all problems will be solved by themselves.

After all, Ye Xi didn't trust Chen Zhu enough, and he was too afraid of Xu Lanting.

"Ye Xi, I am very happy to be with you. But..." Compared with short-term happiness, what Chen Zhu needs is a lover who can support and rely on each other for a long time.

The days with Ye Xi were really happy, but this happiness was too short.

Just like that summer, so beautiful, so short.

It seems that Chen Zhu's summer is always extremely short, heartbreakingly short. It was the same when I was 20, and it was the same when I was 21.

Chen Zhu laughed at himself in a low voice, and said coldly, "But, you care about Xu Lanting so much." He raised his eyes, and slowly pushed Ye Xi away, "I really don't know what to do, sorry."

Chen Zhu turned around and went upstairs, not wanting to pay any attention to Ye Xi who was standing in a mess in the wind.

"Brother!" Ye Xi cried and called him, "Chen Zhu!"

Chen Zhu's figure paused, his eyes turned red for a moment, he sighed, and didn't turn his head.

He just said to Ye Xi in a low voice: "Ye Xi, when I was with you back then, it seemed that I would never have any troubles, and it seemed that I would always be so happy."

"Now this happiness is gone." Chen Zhu smiled wryly, "Do you know how long it has been since I really laughed?"

Chen Zhu sighed, "Ye Xi, I haven't seen you smile for a long time."

In the cold wind, Chen Zhu's voice was clearly so gentle, but Ye Xi completely cooled down.

He stared straight at Chen Zhu's back, and listening to Chen Zhu's usually cold and calm tone, he felt as if someone had stabbed him in the heart.

He heard Chen Zhu say slowly: "Ye Xi, you belong to summer, you don't need to curl up in my cold winter."

You don't have to curl up in my cold winter... Ye Xi gritted his teeth, and burst into tears instantly.

His brother, he no longer needs him.

Because he lost the ability to be happy, he broke his original promise to make Chen Zhu happy for the rest of his life.

A sneeze!

Chen Zhu covered his nose and sneezed.

Recently, when the season changed, he was so busy that he got dizzy and caught a cold if he didn't pay attention.

Chen Zhu sniffed and continued to write the questions.

In order to catch up with the upcoming National Entrance Examination, the courses of the advanced courses are very heavy, and Chen Zhu has a full class almost every day.

Fortunately, he got the opportunity to attend classes for free through the mock exams in the United States. With the tuition fee almost free, the burden on Chen Zhu's shoulders was also much lighter.

He can go all out and run towards his goal.

And as time goes by, he is getting closer and closer to his goal.

It's just - Ah Choo!Chen Zhu covered his mouth with a tissue and sneezed again.

"Huh?" Shen Qingqu didn't know when he stood beside Chen Zhu's desk, "Sick?"

Chen Zhu: "I'm a bit allergic to the seasons, and it will be fine in a few days."

Shen Qingqu didn't say anything, just raised his hand and clicked on a word that Chen Zhu mispronounced.

Chen Zhu came to his senses and hastily corrected it.

During this time, he also got a taste of Shen Qingqu's teaching style.Shen Qingqu never dragged his feet in class, and after a few sentences of general basic knowledge, he led the students to overcome some complicated problems.

The pace of Shen Qingqu's class was very fast, and very few people could keep up with it, so as time went by, those fanboys and girls who came for his skin had to quit silently.

Different from Shen Qingqusi's gentle and elegant appearance, he has strict requirements on his students, even slight mistakes cannot escape the man's thin lens.

Those who can't keep up with the progress will also be ruthlessly assigned to other classes by men.

Today, there are only a dozen people left in the class.

As the National Public Examination is approaching, Shen Qingqu, as a top student in Massachusetts, writes topics by himself almost every day, so that students can adapt to the rhythm of the exam in advance.

It can be said that in the whole institution, only the students led by Shen Qingqu learn the fastest and the best.

"It's time." Shen Qingqu took off his glasses, rubbed the bridge of his nose, "I just glanced at your test papers."

The man's narrow and beautiful eyes swept over everyone one by one, and finally settled on Chen Zhu.

"Chen Zhu has the lowest error rate." Shen Qingqu pinched a test paper with his slender and delicate fingers. He lowered his eyes and looked at the flying writing on it, "The error rate of other people is too high. Open the textbook and compare it with the textbook and correct it before handing it in." .”

Shen Qingqu put Chen Zhu's test paper into the folder, and said concisely, "Time is up, get out of class is over."

Everyone was used to Shen Qingqu's gentle and strict manner, and they just sighed, "How did Chen write all the questions that are so difficult?"

"To be honest, when I saw the topic, I wondered what I had learned these days...", "There is no need to doubt, I am a scumbag."

Chen Zhu packed his schoolbag silently and prepared to leave.A classmate kindly reminded him that it was raining outside.

The rain in the cold winter is bitterly cold. If you don't have an umbrella, you will definitely get sick if you run back.

But Chen Zhu didn't have time to stay longer, he had to work the night shift in the afternoon.

"Thank you." Chen Zhu looked at the few people who had no intention of leaving, and guessed that they didn't bring umbrellas either.

Gritting your teeth, let's get through it... Chen Zhu put his schoolbag on his back and walked out of the classroom.

But the teaching assistant at the door suddenly stopped Chen Zhu, "Chen, your umbrella."

Chen Zhu took the teaching assistant's umbrella with some doubts, "Thank you."

"I didn't give it to you." The teaching assistant said, "DRShen asked me to give it to you."

As he said that, the teaching assistant handed over a bag, and Chen Zhu saw a pure black coat inside.

"DRShen said that he didn't want to see the class being delayed because of your illness," the teaching assistant said, "Take it, he said that he would just pay him back in the next class."

Chen Zhu looked around, but he didn't see Shen Qingqu's figure, so he probably left.

It was hard for him to refuse, so he could only accept Shen Qingqu's silent care, "Say thank you to him for me."

In the car, the driver looked at the figure escaping into the rain, and said nervously, "Mr. Xu, do you want to pick someone up?"

Xu Lanting narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"No need." With a smile on his face, his eyes turned cold, "Isn't someone already chasing after me?"
