When a pot of tea was half-drinked and the snacks were almost gone, Ni Lu left the table once on the pretext of going to the bathroom.

When Ni Lu stood up and walked away, Zhang Yucheng, who was sitting on his seat, took a sip of tea from his cup and covered his mouth with a slight smile.

It didn't take long to eat a bowl of noodles and chat a few words, but looking at the time, they sat here for nearly two hours.

As soon as Ni Lu came back, Zhang Yucheng said, "Is the bill settled?"

Ni Lu was pulling back his chair, he paused when he heard this, looked at him speechlessly, and nodded honestly: "Yeah."

Zhang Yucheng put down his teacup and said, "After all this meal is calculated, I have to treat you to breakfast for nearly half a month to pay off."

Is this your coming and going?

Ni Lu sat down, looked at him speechlessly, and said, "That's not the way to calculate it, and I still owe you money for repairing the car paint."

Zhang Yucheng raised his chin with his hands, raised his eyebrows, and said, "That's right, I hit you with a car, and if you pay me for the touch-up paint, then should I pay for the series of expenses before and after your treatment after being hit by a car?"

Ni Lu was completely speechless now, and looked at the opposite person helplessly.

At the beginning, he said that he was asked to pay back the money for repairing the car paint. Why do you still say such things today?

Will he pay back the money, or not?

Zhang Yucheng just kept his face up like this, looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "Ni Lu, are we friends?"

Ni Lu was taken aback.

Zhang Yucheng said again: "Don't have to be so fussy, okay?"

Ni Lu subconsciously avoided his overly focused eyes, and looked back after a while. During the brief silent stare at each other, Ni Lu began to pick the flesh on the edge of his nails, looking at Zhang Yucheng with such clear eyes.He nodded, and seemed to feel that this expression was not clear enough, so he gave a clear "um" and nodded again.

Zhang Yucheng suddenly lowered his head, clenched his hands into fists to cover the almost uncontrollable smile on his mouth.

Ni Lu was puzzled by his smile.

When Zhang Yucheng raised his head again, unconsciously, every time he looked at Ni Lu, there would always be an imperceptible soft light in his eyes.

It was almost 10:30 when we left the restaurant. After getting in the car, Zhang Yucheng got into the car, and while fastening his seat belt, he asked Ni Lu who opened the door and came in: "Shall we go to set up a stall near the subway entrance today?"

Ni Lu glanced at Zhang Yucheng who obviously wanted to send him there, and shook his head, "It's all over now, I won't go today."

Normally, he was ready to close the stall at this point, but when he went now, the people were almost gone, and he couldn't sell much, so he might as well go back earlier, so as not to waste Zhang Yucheng's time.

Zhang Yucheng asked again: "Where do you want to go next?"

Ni Lu said, "Go back to school."

Zhang Yucheng continued: "Go back and rest?" QQ? 2⑻62⑦096

How about not?

Ni Lu glanced at him, but still nodded, "It's almost eleven o'clock when we get back. There's nothing else to do except sleep."

"Since that's the case." Zhang Yucheng said, "Then I won't go back to school, it will be a night at my place. It's nearer, and I'm going back to school at this point. If I'm unlucky, the dormitory manager has already locked the gate."

After speaking, start the car, turn around and drive the car out of the parking space.

Ni Lu paused, and after a second or two, the seat belt bayonet clicked into the slot. Ni Lu said, "Will this be too troublesome?"

The car was driving smoothly on the road at night. Zhang Yucheng looked at the flat and deserted road ahead and said, "It takes about 10 minutes to drive to school if the road conditions are good, but it takes less than 10 minutes to get to me. What trouble?"

Ni Lu could not refute.

Of course he didn't mean that, but Zhang Yucheng was right.

Ni Lu was suddenly a little nervous.

As Zhang Yucheng said, it was really not far away, and it felt like a few minutes later, Zhang Yucheng drove into the entrance of a residential area.

Ni Lu looked at the scenery outside the window, and when the car drove deeper and deeper, until a spacious artificial river appeared in front of him, he suddenly said, "I've been here before."

Zhang Yucheng: "Come here?"

Ni Lu: "I used to deliver something here once when I was running express delivery in the same city, but I came here by going the wrong way. The customer's home is in the opposite community."

Zhang Yucheng nodded, expressing his understanding, and said, "What a coincidence."

Ni Lu clasped the backpack on his lap tightly with both hands, and asked after a while: "It's so late, will it disturb your family?"

Zhang Yucheng glanced at him with a smile, "Don't worry, I live here alone now."

Only then did Ni Lu loosen his grip on the backpack tightly.

Zhang Yucheng said: "The house here is a temporary place for me to stay when I have something to do. Before going back to school, Xiaoxin, that is, Xianxin, lived here with me before he transferred to school. After he went abroad, I was left alone. "

Ni Lu nodded calmly, "Oh."

Zhang Yucheng looked up, peeped at Ni Lu's expression from the rearview mirror, and then said in a very natural and casual manner: "Xiao Xin is the child of my mother's friend. He grew up with me. I treat him as a younger brother. He has always been in poor health. Well, everyone will take extra care of him." Speaking of this, his voice paused before continuing, "That day, even if you don't show up, nothing will happen to him and me."

If it is an ordinary friend, Zhang Yucheng probably doesn't bother to explain, and if he misunderstood, he misunderstood, so what does it matter?

But he just wanted to make it clear to Ni Lu that it was a coincidence, so he just said it.

It doesn't matter if others misunderstand, but Ni Lu can't.

Ni Lu didn't speak until the car stopped, and he said: "You don't need to explain to me."

Zhang Yucheng turned the steering wheel and smiled helplessly at the people around him, "Then what to do, I've already said it."

While speaking, the car drove into a small road, and the garage door was in front of him. Zhang Yucheng stepped on the brake, picked up the electronic key and pressed it, and the garage door opened slowly with a sound.

Although it is a detached villa, it is not exaggeratedly large. From the outside, it looks like a small and exquisite house.

Ni Lu followed Zhang Yucheng into the house from the garage, without passing the yard, and when the living room lights came on, Ni Lu couldn't help observing the interior decoration layout.

Zhang Yucheng, who was walking in front, turned around, "Do you want to eat something more? There should be some food and drink in the refrigerator."

Ni Lu shook his head again and again, "No, I'm quite full tonight."

Hearing this, Zhang Yucheng changed his footsteps and changed his direction: "Then let me show you the room where you will sleep tonight."

Zhang Yucheng took Ni Lu to the second floor. There are three rooms on the second floor, a study room and two bedrooms. One of them was where Xianxin lived before going abroad. After he left, all his belongings, including the things he used They were all put away, and the quilts placed inside were basically new.This house will be cleaned every once in a while, so even if Zhang Yucheng hasn't been back for almost a week, there is no need to worry about dust in the room.

Zhang Yucheng arranged Ni Lu in this room that had been vacant since Xian Xin left.

The room is much bigger than Ni Lu imagined, and there is a special wardrobe, but it is empty inside.

Zhang Yucheng took a look at the situation in the room and said, "There are new pajamas, towels, and toothbrushes. You can sit and rest for a while, and I'll get them for you."

When only Ni Lu was left in the room, he couldn't help but stand still and look at the room again.

It can be seen at a glance that no one has lived in it for a long time, and it is so tidy that it is not popular. The bed is huge, with two pillows, and the quilt on the bed is like a piece of smooth paper, so flat that there is no wrinkle at all.

Ni Lu's eyes didn't stay on the bed for a long time. He quickly came to the window with heavy curtains, gently opened the curtains and looked out, and saw the slightly scaly light refracted under the light of the roadside. artificial river.

"Almost every room in this house can see the artificial river outside."

When Ni Lu turned his head, he saw Zhang Yucheng standing at the door holding a lot of things in his hands.

Ni Lu walked over and took the things in his hand.

He said to Zhang Yucheng: "The location of this house is pretty good."

Zhang Yucheng said: "It's better to see the scenery during the daytime."

Ni Lu nodded at him, "I'll definitely check it out when I get up tomorrow."

Zhang Yucheng moved his chin towards the pile of things that Ni Lu took over, "Look at what else is missing."

Ni Lu turned the pages to look at the same thing.

Pajamas on top, then pajama pants, and then a pair of dark underwear—

Ni Lu made a move.

There seemed to be a hint of a smile hidden in Zhang Yucheng's voice, "Don't worry, it's all new."

There was no expression on Ni Lu's face, but the tips of his ears were slightly red.

He turned down as if nothing had happened, and found a bath towel, towel and a pair of unopened slippers.

He hugged these things and said, "Thank you, there is nothing missing."

"Then go take a shower, there will be hot water as soon as it is turned on."

"it is good."

Zhang Yucheng walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. As soon as the door closed, Ni Lu hugged the things in his hands, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Coming out of the room where Ni Lu slept, Zhang Yucheng went straight back to his own room.

Picking up the mobile phone placed on the small round table, he opened it and dialed a number, then sat on a chair by the window.

When the phone was connected, Zhang Yucheng opened his mouth and said, "Uncle Yu."

"it's me."

"Sorry to call you so late."

"Yes. I want you to do me a favor."

"I have a friend who has been tricked."

"Uncle Yu is probably the only one who can help me with this matter."

While speaking, Zhang Yucheng stretched out his hand and opened the curtain at hand. Through the closed window, he could see a river flowing peacefully under the light.

It was the artificial river that Ni Lu saw while standing by the window not long ago.

In order to sell the house at a good price, developers generally give each building they build a nice or romantic name. Of course, this artificially dug river also has a name.

It's called Heart River.

After taking a shower and drying his hair, Ni Lu sat by the bed and began to fold the changed clothes.He only had this suit of clothes, and he had to wear them back in the daytime tomorrow.

Just as he was folding clothes one by one, there was a knock on the door, and then Zhang Yucheng pushed the door in, holding a cup in his hand, steaming from the mouth of the cup.

"I made you a glass of milk, and you can sleep better at night after drinking milk."

Zhang Yucheng put the milk on the bedside table.

"Thank you."

As Ni Lu said, he folded the last piece of clothes and piled them together.

Standing by the bed, Zhang Yucheng put one hand into his trouser pocket, "My washing machine has a drying function. You can wash it and dry it directly, and you can wear it tomorrow."

Ni Lu hesitated, then shook his head, "No need, I just changed it today, it's not very dirty."

This is not an excuse, the weather is so cold, there is no need to change clothes often.There is nothing strange about wearing an outfit for two or three days.

Zhang Yucheng didn't force it, and handed a stack of materials to Ni Lu, "If you're not in a hurry to rest, you can read this."

Ni Lu took it with a little puzzlement, and when he saw the content on it, he couldn't help standing up, "This is it?"

Zhang Yucheng said: "I don't know what kind of jobs you are interested in, so I found a few more. These are all jobs that don't require direct contact with people. The finished products can be mailed or sent by email. The content requirements and remuneration are all specified Yes. You can do whichever suits you, and if you have more time, you can make a few more.”

Ni Lu now has a special status and is easily recognized by others, so he can't do many jobs. Zhang Yucheng finds him jobs that are suitable for him to do now, and he doesn't need to meet people.A small part is also related to his profession, such as making some architectural models.

Most of the production of architectural models is quite time-consuming and laborious. Some students in the School of Architecture will find someone to do it if they can't make it in time. Of course, some construction companies also have this demand.

This is also what Ni Lu saw at first sight. Although he has only been a freshman for a few months and only made architectural models a few times in class, he is quite interested in it and has enough hands-on ability. confidence, not to mention hands-on models can also improve their professional level.

When Ni Lu looked at Zhang Yucheng again, he didn't know what to say for a while.

Zhang Yucheng couldn't help laughing, flicked his index finger on the stack of materials held by Ni Lu in both hands, and said, "Don't look at me like that, it doesn't take much effort to collect these, don't forget that I'm the president of the student union, most of them are in this area Information, these things are almost there, I just print them out."

Without waiting for Ni Lu to say anything, Zhang Yucheng said again: "By the way, give me all your goods, I'll buy them."

Ni Lu, who hadn't recovered from his gratitude, couldn't help being taken aback: "What?"

Zhang Yucheng said: "Give me all your trinkets, phone cases, etc., I want to buy them. The student union has contributed a lot to the school celebration activities a while ago. I was thinking about what to do to reward them. I just decided on this today." Go out for dinner before the end of the month, and then I will prepare some small gifts for the members of the student union, I think your things are perfect, jewelry for girls, mobile phone case pendants and so on for boys."

After a long time, Ni Lu, who was holding a pile of documents with his face down, raised his head, looked at Zhang Yucheng as intently as if he had seen Zhang Yucheng for the first time, and said two words seriously in a hoarse voice: "Thank you."

How can I not understand.

Introduce him to the job that suits him, and find a way for his goods to save him from worries, so that he doesn't have to set up a street vendor in the wind and rain, and can use his spare time to do professional-related things.

Once again, I deeply understand why so many people like the boy in front of me.

he deserves it.
