Show one's ugliness

After going to the gambling table to catch Xiao Mingjun, Qi Heng and Ji Cen did not fall asleep.

The two lay on the bed talking about Ma Changfeng, and also studied how to deal with Xiao Mingjun.

Walking outside in the early morning of heavy snow, the heels almost froze off.The cotton slippers they wore out were soaked in melted snow.

Put it under the heating until it is completely bright, and the cotton slippers are not completely dried.

At five o'clock, Qi Heng got up and went to school. Ji Cen went to the next door to have breakfast and talked to Qiao Aiqing about his and Qi Heng's thoughts.

Although Shao Jingcheng, who came to eat with him in the shop, didn't know exactly what happened, he could get a general idea from the lines.He served Ji Cen and Qiao Aiqing porridge, and sat down without saying a word.

Qiao Aiqing didn't sleep well last night, and she was not in a high mood. She said: "Xiao Cen, do as you say. If I can control him, he can't have an accident like this. Blame me, I can't control him."

Ji Cen: "Don't talk about aunt like that, it's Xiao Mingjun's problem. He doesn't understand living with such a nice person like you, he's just a tiger. Don't be angry with him. I'll take you to Aunt Song's after dinner. You don't need to worry about things, you are responsible for eating, drinking and waiting."

Qiao Aiqing nodded: "Okay, aunt listens to you."

Jiang Liwen came to pick up the car before he finished his breakfast.

Ji Cen drank the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl, went to the Wynn cashier and took the car keys out: "Uncle Jiang, does Xiao Mingjun live with you?"

Jiang Liwen: "No way, I dragged him to my house, and he got angry with me, so he supported me and told you to go and find him. I don't know where he slept, maybe he went to your Uncle Liang."

Ji Cen got into the car with Jiang Liwen.

The air conditioner hadn't fully delivered the heat, and the car was very cold.Jiang Liwen handed him a cigarette.After hesitating, he took it and lit the lighter Jiang Liwen was holding.

He hadn't smoked for a while, and the smell of tobacco rushed into his lungs, making him familiar and addicted.

"I guess Lao Xiao will be angry with me for a while." Jiang Liwen said.

"That is to say, you are really good for him. If it were Uncle Liang, he would not come to complain. What should I do? I have to thank you, Uncle Jiang."

"Hey," Jiang Liwen said softly, "Thank you, don't talk about that nonsense."

The two were smoking cigarettes one after another, and the smoke slowly dissipated in the carriage.

After sitting silently for a long time, Ji Cen calmly said, "You saw it on the side of the road that night, didn't you, Uncle Jiang?"

Jiang Liwen dusted off the cigarette ash, and said "Mmm" in a calm manner.

Ji Cen turned his head sideways: "Then why didn't you tell Xiao Mingjun?"

Jiang Liwen took a deep breath: "I'm afraid that if I tell him, if you can't restrain him, he will find fault with you."

It turned out that Jiang Liwen had made this kind of consideration. He was afraid that Ji Cen's relationship with Qi Heng would have something to do with Xiao Mingjun.

"It seems that I can calm him down. I care about him like that, but he won't get into trouble anymore." Ji Cen said with a self-deprecating smile.

"At least you can still take care of him. I'm afraid there is a gap between you two," Jiang Liwen continued, "I know Lao Xiao. I hope he can live a good life, even if he finds out later, that's not what I said. It doesn’t make me feel a little guilty.”

Before Ji Cen could say anything, Jiang Liwen said again: "Little Cen, are you serious about that? Or are you just kidding?"

"No kidding," Ji Cen replied, "I'm serious."

Jiang Liwen sighed and said nothing.Finally, he snuffed out the cigarette butt and threw it out through the window: "I have to go to work."

Ji Cen nodded and opened the door to get out of the car: "The road is slippery today, be careful, Uncle Jiang."

Jiang Liwen honked the horn and drove away.

Ji Cen flicked the smoke between his fingers to the ground and crushed it with his feet.

He breathed out the smoke that hadn't fully evacuated from his nasal passages and went back to the house to get the car keys.

After the car was warmed up, Qiao Aiqing was called to go to Yangnan.

Qi Heng, who was in class today, was extremely sleepy because he didn't sleep last night.

He persisted all morning, but in the afternoon he couldn't hold on anymore.Just lying on the desk between classes can't make up for it.

Although it was freezing outside, it was warm inside the classroom.The winter sun shines into the light blue curtains, bringing a deep sleepiness.

He rarely fell asleep on his stomach during class.Liujia, who was giving a lecture in front of the blackboard, didn't call him in class, but called him away after class.

"Is there something wrong with you? Why did you fall asleep after class?" Liujia said bluntly when he reached the corner of the stairs.

Qi Heng, who was standing by the window sill, waved his hands: "Something bad happened at home, I didn't sleep much last night."

"Then what?" Liujia looked at the time and said, "You go back now."

Qi Heng: "Go back?"

"Go home and go to sleep," Liujia continued, "I see that you are really exhausted, go back and have a good rest, and come back to school tomorrow."

Qi Heng smiled: "Then I really left?"

Liujia said, "Hurry up."

Liujia not only counts on Qi Heng to bring good discipline, but also counts on him to improve his grades.To smuggle Qi Heng's selfishness is just a matter of shaking hands.

Qi Heng knows the connotation of this, Liujia knows benevolence, and he also understands righteousness.Don't be rude.

After returning to work, he packed his schoolbag and was about to leave. Everyone thought he had stopped reading.

Qi Heng: "I just asked for a leave, why do you think I'm not coming anymore?"

"I don't know why, anyway, there is always an illusion that you probably won't show up the next day." Bi Lun said.

Lan Xiaowei smiled: "Maybe we rely too much on you?"

Wu Zhao, who was asleep, was woken up by Qi Heng kicking the leg of the table, and he raised his head a little annoyed: "Who is it?"

"I," Qi Heng put his schoolbag on his shoulder and looked at Wu Zhao and said, "I'm on leave. You can observe the discipline in self-study classes and evening self-study."

Wu Zhao scratched his hair: "What's wrong with you?"

"There are so many questions," Qi Heng turned around and left, "I'll withdraw first. You should work lightly and read more books."

We have been together for four months, and the relationship between the students in the class and Qi Heng is even tighter than that with Wu Zhao before.Faced with Qi Heng's words, he gave all kinds of affirmative responses.

Qi Heng left with a leave note signed by Liujia and pushed his bicycle through the gate.

During lunch, he called Ji Cen to ask about the situation. Ji Cen also said that Xiao Mingjun hadn't come back.When he rode his bicycle to the door of Four Seasons Fruit, he saw Xiao Mingjun sorting out the frozen fruit outside.

Xiao Mingjun spotted Qi Heng's appearance, and his movements were obviously a little sluggish.He seemed to want to say something, but didn't dare to say it.

Qi Heng glanced at Xiao Mingjun indifferently, then ignored him, parked the car and went straight to Wynn.

Cui Xiaodong had club activities in the afternoon, so he didn't come to the store, only Ji Cen was sitting at the cashier.

When he heard someone enter the door, he said without raising his head, "Print or copy?"

Qi Heng: "When did he come back?"

"Why are you back?" Ji Cen asked with a smile.

Qi Heng took off his schoolbag and straddled his arms: "I'm too sleepy, come back to sleep."

Ji Cen used the mouse to bring up the monitoring screen of Four Seasons Fruit on the computer desktop, looked at Xiao Mingjun who was working on it, and said, "I came back at noon, I ignored him, and I have been working since I came back."

Ji Cen and Qi Heng's decision to punish Xiao Mingjun was not extreme.

Don't beat or scold, don't respond.

Let Xiao Mingjun take care of himself, and no longer have the harmonious and beautiful family atmosphere before.It started when Qiao Aiqing stopped washing and cooking for him.

This is why Ji Cen sent Qiao Aiqing away temporarily.

They wanted to let Xiao Mingjun understand in this way that if he doesn't cherish the good life he is living now.At any time, you can go back to before liberation.

When Xiao Mingjun came back and didn't see Qiao Aiqing, he came to Yongli to ask, but Ji Cen didn't answer him with a single tone of particle.He stood in the room for a long time, Ji Cen was busy all the time, and finally he had to go back to the next door.

"Go up and sleep," Ji Cen said to Qi Heng, "Aunt Song said to eat in the evening, and you come back, then we will be together."

Qi Heng touched Ji Cen's face, and went upstairs with tired steps: "Then I won't set the alarm clock, remember to call me."

"understood."

After Qi Heng went upstairs, Ji Cen called Shao Jingcheng over.

He told Shao Jingcheng that in the future, Siji Fruit would not need tally staff.Someone did Xiao Mingjun's work, and Xiao Mingjun went out to cause trouble.

"Brother, I'm really sorry, but there's nothing I can do now." Ji Cen said apologetically.

Shao Jingcheng had a special understanding of this: "It's okay boss, I can understand."

This kid liked to call Ji Cen by his full name before, but after hanging out with him for a long time, he started calling Ji Cen the boss, who came from Ji Boss.

It was Ji Cen who asked Shao Jingcheng to work at the beginning, but now he has to let Shao Jingcheng leave.But he won't ignore Shao Xiaoqi.He told the situation to the others in the group to see who could find a job for Shao Jingcheng.

Wang Peng replied immediately: Come to the fourth brother, Shao Xiaoqi, learn crafts and get a salary. They are both boys your age, so they are easy to get along with.

Shao Jingcheng was overjoyed: Then when can I go there.

Wang Peng: You can come now.

Shao Jingcheng: It's hard for me to be free, so I'll rest for two days before going there.

Although he only worked for more than a week this month, the money Ji Cen gave to Shao Jing was for the entire month.

"Come on, I'm here to work, you are good enough to me," Shao Jingcheng said with a smile, "I don't have the nerve to take more money."

"Take it," Ji Cen stuffed the money over, "This good thing will be gone in the future."

"That's fine," Shao Jingcheng gestured, "Anyway, we won't be far away in the future, call me if you need something, and I'll be there."

After Shao Jingcheng returned from Wynn, he went to Siji Fruit to pick up his coat and water glass and was about to leave.

Xiao Mingjun hurriedly asked, "Where are you going, Xiao Shao?"

Shao Jingcheng turned around and looked at Xiao Mingjun, struggling with his five senses and said: "Uncle Xiao, I won't come here tomorrow, you should know something in the future, don't let our boss worry about it, you said you are quite old, why not?" Like a rebel."

"I..." Xiao Mingjun watched Shao Jingcheng take off the apron he wore for work after going out, and asked Ji Cen when he entered Wynn, "You told Xiao Shao not to come again?"

Ji Cen sorted out the papers on the table, but didn't speak.

"You talk!" Xiao Mingjun approached, "Why didn't you let him come? Where did your aunt go? Did you go to your Aunt Song again? Why didn't you answer the phone?"

"It's at Aunt Song's place. If you figure it out, go over and apologize." Ji Cen said.

"Why does she do this every time? Leave without saying something in advance?"

Did you tell them in advance when you sat down at the gaming table?

Ji Cen threw the stack of papers back on the table, looked at Xiao Mingjun and said, "Don't speak so loudly, Qi Heng is sleeping upstairs, do you want to wake him up and let him come down and beat you up?"

"Slap me if you want!" Xiao Mingjun yelled, "I'm not afraid of anything now!"

Xiao Mingjun who yelled this sentence blushed and his neck was thick.

"You're really good, Xiao Mingjun, I really don't know what to say about you," Ji Cen said angrily, "Well, if you keep playing with money, my aunt won't talk about you, and Qi Heng won't hit you. You, I won't care about you either. From now on, you can live on your own fucking life!"

"Originally I won, but then I lost. I am not reconciled, I want to win back." Xiao Mingjun suddenly explained again.

Seeing Xiao Mingjun speak out confidently after doing something wrong like this, Ji Cen couldn't bear it any longer. He stared at Xiao Mingjun and said, "Get out quickly."

"Brother Cen?" Qi Heng's inquiring voice came from upstairs, "What's wrong?"

Ji Cen turned his head back: "It's okay, you can continue to sleep."

He calmed down his anger, dragged Xiao Mingjun to the door, and pushed him away: "Get out, you hated thing, get out of here for me."

Xiao Mingjun broke away from Ji Cen's hand and looked at Ji Cen blankly with red eyes.

Ji Cen suspected that Xiao Dabaihua was pretending to be pitiful again. He pointed to Xiao Mingjun's face and said clearly: "You don't want to live a good life anyway, so go over by yourself, don't fucking make us feel bad, do you hear me? This kind of person is not worthy of sympathy, you are pitiful because you are hateful."

Xiao Mingjun looked at Ji Cen quietly.If he didn't turn his head away, the tear that fell would hit the back of Ji Cen's hand.

Ji Cen was confused by Xiao Mingjun's sudden response: "You...you...what the hell are you doing? Don't pretend to be here, get out of here."

Xiao Mingjun didn't say anything, pushed open the glass door and walked out.

Ji Cen thought that the three partners were wronged by the coldness of Xiao Da's crying, and he didn't take it seriously at all.Xiao Mingjun could cry as he said, and he could cry, which was an ability he had practiced in the funeral team in the early years.

Xiao Mingjun really cried to the wrong person. If he squeezed such a tear in front of Qiao Aiqing in Yangnan, the soft-hearted Qiao Aiqing would probably not care about him.

With Ji Cen, this kind of crocodile tears didn't work.

When I went to Song Yufen's for dinner at night, Ji Cen was still saying that he must be ruthless and let Xiao Mingjun fend for himself for a while.

So in the next few days, Ji Cen ignored Xiao Mingjun in Four Seasons Fruit even though he was at the closest distance.

Although he doesn't care about people, he will observe Xiao Mingjun from the surveillance as long as he is idle.

Xiao Mingjun was never at home, and he didn't know how to solve the problem of eating. Anyway, most of what Ji Cen saw on the surveillance was Xiao Mingjun sitting on the ponytail and smoking alone.

The scene was lonely and desolate, which made him wonder if their neglect could stop.

But Xiao Mingjun didn't even offer to apologize.

Qi Heng would ask Ji Cen every night when he came back from self-study: Did Xiao Mingjun apologize today?

Ji Cen would shake his head: no.

Qi Heng would emphasize: let him continue to be stubborn, and see who can beat the other.
