Focus on the scene

◎Is it because of wine, or because of people? ◎

"Can we pay by WeChat?" Ji Huai asked.

"Yes." The sister on duty nodded and took out a QR code sign.

Ji Huai scanned the QR code to pay, put the small packaged box into his trouser pocket, then turned his head to look at Jingjie: "Do you want to show it to Auntie?"

Jing Jie nodded.Aunt Li is thin, with a typical southern height, and she looks a little petite in front of his 1.7-meter-high son.Jingjie took aim at a bracelet with a diameter of 8mm, persimmon red, which suits her quite well.

Jing Jie is the same as Ji Huai in terms of buying things, he doesn't get entangled, and buys what he sees right away.

200 yuan, Jingjie paid the money and put the box on. The two of them had nothing else to buy, so they strolled around and went out.

The sky is getting dark, and the brazier barbecue business is booming.When the two arrived, there were already people waiting in line outside the store, and they had nothing to do left and right, so they waited for a while.It was also their luck that some tables came early and were almost finished, and they sat down at the table without waiting for 10 minutes.

The waiter came over with the menu and recommended that the main thing they recommend here is the grilled small intestine, which is filled with things and has several different flavors.

It is rare to come here, and it is impossible not to eat special features.Ji Huai made a decision on the spot and ordered a mix of various flavors.

Jing Jie looked at Ji Huai's aura, and said angrily, "I thought you would have all kinds of flavors."

"Then where can I finish eating?" Ji Huai smiled, and said to the waitress sister: "Then pork belly, pork, beef and grilled eggplant. Hey, Jinger, do you want anything else?"

"Tofu." Jing Jie said, "There are also potatoes."

"Hey, would you like a piece of this tinfoil bullfrog?" Ji Huai pointed to a certain place on the menu with bright eyes.

Jing Jie's expression changed, "Don't, don't."

Ji Huai narrowed his eyes, "Are you afraid?"

Jing Jie pursed his lips, "It's disgusting."

"It's not disgusting after it's baked." Ji Huai said, "It's delicious, don't you really want to try it?"

Jing Jie shook his head resolutely, "I won't try it. If you want to eat it, you can eat it by yourself. I'll just take a look."

"Forget it, order so much meat, I can't finish it." Ji Huai sighed.

Seeing his disappointed look, Jing Jie immediately felt guilty. He opened his mouth, but he couldn't say the words "I eat".

No way, he really has no acceptance of frogs at all.

After ordering the dishes, a waiter soon came over with a basin and put them on a special table, and the dishes were quickly put on the table.

Ji Huai took the tongs one by one and clamped a plate of small intestines onto the iron plate on the basin, and while putting them on, he muttered that this one is bamboo shoots and that one is scallion.

Jing Jie heard him chattering there all the time, and remembered that they didn't seem to order drinks or anything, so he asked him, "Aren't you thirsty?"

Ji Huai patted his thigh, "Damn, I just said I always felt like I forgot something, hey, do you want to drink?"

Jing Jie: "...Are you sure?"

Ji Huai said: "Drink beer, why don't you eat barbecue and drink soy milk?"

Jing Jie wanted to say that he really drank soy milk when he ate barbecue before, but Ji Huai didn't give him a chance, and told the waiter to bring four bottles of beer.

Jingjie: "..."

"It's pretty wild to play." Jing Jie said resignedly: "Let me tell you first, I haven't drunk much, I don't know where the thread is, I'm going to be unconscious in a while, you can figure it out."

"Just two bottles, it won't be enough." Ji Huai said, "You have to believe in yourself."

Jing Jie didn't know whether to believe in himself or not.

Fortunately, his body was very respectable, and it kept him awake after he drank those two bottles of beer.

"Comfortable." After coming out of the brazier, Ji Huai took a deep breath of the night air, and the feeling of fullness reassured him.

Jingjie was blown by the wind, I can't tell what it feels like.

It's a bit light, and I don't know if the stamina of the wine was blown out by the wind.

The hotel is not far from here, and the two of them strolled back as if they were eating after a meal.

On the way, Ji Huai had nothing to say, and asked, "We've had a drink together now, aren't we friends?"

"Brothers who have had a drink together?" Jing Jie complained.

"That's considered brothers." Ji Huai said, "Hey, forget it?"

"I don't know." Jing Jie shook his head, "I always feel that I owe something."

"That's what you said to me." Ji Huai said: "If you say that to other people, I'm afraid you will end your friendship on the spot."

"All friends are gone." Jing Jie said, "It's no brother who can't accept the truth."

"That's right." Ji Huai kicked a pebble out from under his feet, "Hey, let's be more honest. At that time...why did you agree to come out to play with me? I thought you would be rejected 100% of the time."

"I just wanted to come out to take a breath." Jing Jie sniffed, "I've been in a familiar place for a long time, and I'm getting bored."

"Really." Ji Huai kicked the pebble again, "I thought it was because of Lu..."

"Lu Chao?" Jing Jie smiled, "Have you wanted to ask this for a long time?"

Ji Huai touched his nose, but said nothing.

"It's actually not something you can't talk about." Jingjie looked up at the sky, the sky was pitch black and there were no stars. The teacher who handed out the books forced three packs of books into his hands, and I thought that his thin arms and legs would not be able to carry them, so I followed him, but he really dropped the books.”

"I have known Liu Fei since elementary school, and we were in the same class in junior high school. At that time, we walked back and forth. When I saw that his book was dropped, I went to help share it. This is the beginning of fate."

"He has a relatively soft personality, and his family conditions are not good. There are always people in the class who love to bully him. At that time... tsk, I had a strong sense of justice. I helped him a lot by drawing Liu Fei, many times. Yes, the three of us are stronger."

"The last time it happened, it goes back to the third year of junior high school. When he was about to graduate, he said that his father owed gambling debts again, and the debt collectors chased him home. He needed money urgently, so he asked us to borrow it. The classmate borrowed money. It’s not easy for me to tell my family, so I gave him all the [-] I saved, and then he disappeared.”

"On the day you asked me to go shopping with you, it was the first time I saw him after borrowing money. He was miserable at that time, surrounded by three debtors. If I didn't happen to pass by, he probably Got beaten."

"But it's useless for me to pass by. He told me that he was addicted to drugs, borrowed usurious loans, and owed [-] yuan to others. He asked me to help him. How can I help? I'm just a student, and I can't help him even if I sell me , so I'm leaving."

Jing Jie smiled, thinking that he was probably really drunk, otherwise he wouldn't have said those bad things so easily.

"I almost forgot about it, why did you suddenly pop up and jump in front of me? Do I owe him?"

"Maybe he really owes something, otherwise he wouldn't want to drag me even if he died."

"Maybe it has something to do with this incident when I came out this time. I feel very blocked. Every time I pass by the small street, I think of the way he smashed in front of me that day. I was suffocating. It's not that I didn't use my own methods to resolve it. , but after all, it is a human life, and things that are linked to life and death are not so easy to pass."

"It's just right, you said you want to come out to play, so come out and relax."

After saying this, Jing Jie let out a long breath, feeling quite relaxed.

It was easier than talking with Liu Fei.

It's like nothing matters.

This state made Jingjie feel wrong, but his brain did not allow him to think in detail.

Only one question flashed vaguely in his mind.

Is it because of wine, or because of people?

"It's really not a thing." Ji Huai said, kicking the small stone under his feet, "I'm also to blame for this."

"What's your fault?" Jing Jie was puzzled.

"I'll take you to buy vegetables." Ji Huai said, "If I don't delay your time, you won't meet him."

"Oh." Jing Jie nodded, "It's really your fault."

Ji Huai: "..."

Ji Huai: "Aren't you being polite to me?"

"We've already had a drink together, so what's the point of being polite?"

"Oh, yes." Ji Huai cleared his throat, "Then... just treat it as my atonement, do you have anything to ask me? I will definitely tell you the truth."

"What, exchange a little secret?" Jing Jie raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." Ji Huai said, "Just say if you want to ask."

"What are you asking?" Jing Jie pretended to be stupid.

Ji Huai said, "I'm so mysterious, you don't know what to ask?"

Jing Jie snorted, "Then you can say whatever you want."

Ji Huai: "...give me some face."

Jing Jie couldn't help laughing out loud, and he laughed for a while before giving him face, "Oh, then tell me about the person you met during the spring outing."

"Okay." Ji Huai nodded.

"That's all you want to say." Jing Jie looked at him.

"Yeah. But it's boring to talk about." Ji Huai said, "But I just want to say it. I feel that if I say it, our relationship can be sublimated again."

"Is sublimation into an exchange of secret friendship?" Jing Jie thought Ji Huai's words were quite interesting.

No, this whole person is quite interesting.

"That's called talking to each other." Ji Huai said, "When I finish talking, I won't owe you any more."

"Okay." Jing Jie nodded.

Ji Huai kicked the small stone against the wall, "You know about school violence, right?"

Jing Jie didn't expect him to use this sentence as the opening sentence, and was a little dazed.

"I don't know if mine counts or not." Ji Huai put his hands in his trouser pockets, "When I was in the first grade of elementary school, I accidentally knocked off a girl's pencil case. She is very beautiful, and all the children in the class love her." Playing with her, she is quite generous, but the pen case seems to be a very important thing for her, it is useless for me to apologize and lose money, she said she hates me."

"At that time, I was quite big-hearted. If I thought I hated it, I hated it. I was not willing to pay her five hundred for a broken pencil case worth ten yuan, so I was not willing to serve her either." Ji Huai sighed at this point. Tone, "To be honest, I still don't know what shocking story behind that pencil case can make her lead the whole class to isolate me for six years."
