Two months later

"Brother Ze, I think you're not in a good mood," Sun Zhuoyu said, "What's the matter, did you finally quarrel with your boyfriend?"

"Why...wait a minute," Lu Ze poked his head out of the bed and looked at him, "What do you mean finally, you're looking forward to it?"

Sun Zhuoyu smiled, "You two have been together for such a long time, I haven't seen you two quarrel very much, Qianqian and I are considered to have a good temper, and we have quarreled several times."

"Tsk, we have nothing to quarrel with," Lu Ze said.

"Then why this time?" Sun Zhuoyu asked curiously.

"Because I don't want to take the postgraduate entrance examination." Lu Ze said.

Sun Zhuoyu was stunned, "What kind of novel reason is this for quarreling, you don't want to take the postgraduate entrance examination if you don't want to take it."

Lu Ze sighed, "He thinks it's because of him that I don't want to take the postgraduate entrance examination."

"I seem to understand a little bit," Sun Zhuoyu said, "Then is it because of him?"

"Half of it, not all because of him." Lu Ze said.

After Sun Zhuoyu left, Lu Ze lay alone on the bed for a while, and went in and out of WeChat several times, but there was no news from Liang Xiao.

He looked at the time, it was almost noon, Liang Xiao got off work late yesterday, he didn't know if he woke up and didn't look for him or didn't wake up.

He stared at the screen absentmindedly for a moment, and a message popped up.

Jiang Yijie: [What are you doing, are you awake? ]

Lu Ze: [Lying on the bed]

Jiang Yijie: [Don't lie down, come to the third canteen to eat beef noodles, I invite you]

Lu Ze: [OK]

When we arrived at the cafeteria, Lu Ze smiled when he saw Jiang Yijie's face, "I said why did you find me for dinner, did you quarrel with Shen Tang?"

"Is it so obvious?" Jiang Yijie said depressingly.

Lu Ze nodded, took off his down jacket and put it on the back of the chair, and sat down opposite him.

"Are you arguing with Liang Xiao too? You're not in a good mood." Jiang Yijie said.

Lu Ze glanced at the phone again, but there was still no news, "How should I put it, we didn't actually quarrel, it's just that we don't listen to each other, it's not very pleasant, what's the reason for you two?"

Jiang Yijie stirred the noodles with chopsticks, and sighed, "I'm ashamed to say it. We've been together for a while, and he insisted that I don't like him."

"What's the reason?" Lu Ze asked.

Jiang Yijie sneered, "The reason is that he thought I was with him purely because he was stalking him back then, and I couldn't take it anymore, so I agreed."

Lu Ze was stunned for a few seconds, and then he couldn't help but laugh, "No... Shen Tang, what a magical brain circuit, he was the one who stalked him back then, but now he feels that stalking is wrong."

"It's fucking sick," Jiang Yijie stuffed a big mouthful of noodles into his mouth angrily, "I definitely owe him..."

Lu Ze laughed for a while before saying seriously: "Seriously, don't you give him enough sense of security, that's why he always feels that you don't like him."

Jiang Yijie's eyes widened, "How do I give him a sense of security? He can send me [-] messages every day, and as long as I see them, I reply in seconds."

Lu Ze clicked his tongue, "Have you always been impatient with him?"

"I... that's because he's really annoying," Jiang Yijie said, "If he can have a personality like Liang Xiao..."

"Hey, hey," Lu Ze interrupted him with a smile, "Brother Xiao is not like that in front of me, he talks a lot more than usual, and he's also clingy."

Jiang Yijie looked at him incredulously, "Liang Xiao is clingy? Are you serious?"

Lu Ze nodded, "But we have never quarreled because of jealousy or anything. After all, we have enough sense of security. I know how much he loves me, and he also knows how much I love him. It is impossible to be jealous of others. It’s all about eating and playing.”

Jiang Yijie frowned, "Fuck, you don't need to be so nasty, I know you two are very affectionate."

Lu Ze laughed twice, and then sighed after laughing.

"What's the matter with the fight you two didn't quarrel with?" Jiang Yijie asked, "Would you like to talk about it?"

Lu Ze thought for a while before saying: "Actually, I'm not sure what I want to do after graduation. Before I met Brother Xiao, I wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination with the crowd. After being with him, I'm not too sure. I want to take the exam, and I want to make money quickly, so he thinks it's because of him that I don't take the exam."

"It's okay, isn't it because of him that you don't want to take the exam?"

Lu Ze frowned, "No, it's not all because of him, it's mainly because of me, I really don't like studying, you know, I chose English major because I'm a bit talented, learning English doesn't require much effort My brain, I really don’t want to continue my studies anymore, the job after graduation is pretty good.”

"It's because Liang Xiao is the direct cause, but the root cause is yourself, right?"

"Yes." Lu Ze said.

"Then you should explain clearly to him," Jiang Yijie said, "tell him all the things you and I have said."

"I said, he doesn't believe it, and he can't say he doesn't believe it, even if he still thinks it has something to do with him."

Jiang Yijie shook his head with a smile, "Why are one or two so stubborn?"

Lu Ze's cell phone rang, and he quickly put down his chopsticks and picked it up to have a look.

Liang Xiao: [Brother Ze, have you had lunch yet? ]

Yo, even the baby stopped barking, so angry.

Lu Ze originally wanted to go back to "eat", but thought it was too indifferent and deleted it.

I had beef noodles...still not good.

After a long time, Lu Ze finally came back: [Brother Jie and I are eating beef noodles at the Three Canteens]

The characters, locations and events are all explained clearly, so it should be ok.

Lu Ze waited for nearly a minute, Liang Xiao replied: [Well, you eat]

fuck me?

Lu Ze stared at the phone in shock, is he still so indifferent?It almost reminded him of when he first met Liang Xiao.

He made a voice call to Liang Xiao, but Liang Xiao answered it quickly, even if he got through, there was no movement.

Lu Ze cleared his throat and said, "Xiao'er, are you still angry?"

Liang Xiao was obviously taken aback, "...I'm not angry."

Lu Ze clicked his tongue, "When will I learn to be stubborn?"

Listening to Lu Ze's tone, Liang Xiao finally confirmed that Lu Ze was not angry either. He said dumbfoundingly, "I'm really not angry baby, I thought you were angry."

Lu Ze was also stunned, "Why am I angry, I thought you were angry!"

They smirked at the phone for a while, and Lu Ze asked, "Did you wake up just now? Have you eaten yet?"

"No, Jiang Heng and I went to do some business." Liang Xiao said.

"Oh, where are you now? Are you done?"

"Just finished, Jiang Heng has to stay, I can go home or go to the bar."

"Send me the address," Lu Ze said, "I'll pick you up, and we'll go out for lunch."

Jiang Yijie stared silently at Lu Ze from the opposite side, Lu Ze ignored him, smiled and said, "I only ate half a bowl of beef noodles, it's okay, I can eat it...well, okay, see you later."

Lu Ze hung up the phone, Jiang Yijie waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and get lost."

"I'll invite you next time." Lu Ze said with a smile.

"Is this a fucking matter of not being invited?" Jiang Yijie said angrily, "This is because you value sex over friends!"

Lu Ze clicked his tongue, "At any rate, he's already in love, so he should have a deep understanding of it. A phone call from a boyfriend makes it hard not to value sex and despise friends."

Before Lu Ze finished speaking, Jiang Yijie's cell phone rang, he raised his eyebrows, Jiang Yijie answered the phone, "Hello."

Lu Ze mouthed: Be gentle and speak well.

"No need," Jiang Yijie said as gently as possible, "I'll go find you later, and talk to you face to face if I have anything to say."

Lu Ze stood up and put on the down jacket. After a while Jiang Yijie hung up the phone, Lu Ze said, "Use this attitude from now on, don't be impatient."

"It's not that I'm really impatient, it's just...forget it, don't talk about it, you can go now."

"Don't you want to go too, do you want me to see you off first?" Lu Ze asked.

"Please forgive me," Jiang Yijie smiled, "I haven't reconciled yet, and if I see you sending me off, I will have to quarrel again."

"Okay, then I'm leaving. You two have something to communicate with each other. What are you doing with your long mouth? Don't be so stuffy."

"Master Lu, do I have to worship you as my teacher in the future?" Jiang Yijie said.

There was only a back figure left on Lu Ze's side, "Then treat me to dinner!"

·

When Lu Ze came out of the cafeteria, he was shocked by the oncoming cold wind, and quickly lowered his head to zip up his down jacket.

He went to the parking lot to pick up the car, and when he passed by the flower shop in front of the school, he stopped and bought a bouquet of roses for the passenger drive.

Although it wasn't considered a quarrel, it was the first time he and Liang Xiao had an unhappy fight, so it was always right to buy a bouquet of flowers.

The weather was too cold, so he didn't call Liang Xiao until he got there, "I'm here, come out, it's in the parking lot behind."

"Okay, come right away."

Lu Ze watched Liang Xiao trot over in the car, opened the door and said in surprise, "Why are you still buying flowers?"

Lu Ze picked up the flowers and asked Liang Xiao to sit in first, then sent the flowers to Liang Xiao's arms, smiled and said, "I just want to buy it, are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"

"Wait a minute," Liang Xiao held the flowers in one hand, and took out a plastic bag from the pocket of the down jacket with difficulty in the other, "I bought you a roasted sweet potato just now, do you want to eat a few bites while it's hot?"

Lu Ze was stunned, and said with a broken smile, "I said, why do I smell a scent as soon as you get in the car, why are you putting roasted sweet potatoes in your pocket?"

"I'm afraid it's getting cold." Liang Xiao said with a smile, he untied the plastic bag, carefully peeled off the skin of the sweet potato, and brought it to Lu Ze's mouth, "Come on, have a quick taste, it should be quite sweet."

Lu Ze lowered his head and looked at the steaming roasted sweet potatoes, his eyes suddenly became hot.

He turned his face away and hid for a while, trying to control the tears in his eyes.

"Baby?" Liang Xiao stretched his neck to look at him, and said anxiously, "Why are you still crying, don't cry, don't cry..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Ze knew it was over, tears fell down like a floodgate.

Liang Xiao hurriedly put the roasted sweet potatoes aside, put the rose in his arms under his feet, leaned over and held Lu Ze's face to wipe his tears.

"Why are you crying?" Liang Xiao frowned, his tone distressed, "Are you still angry because of what happened yesterday? It's my fault, I..."

Lu Ze interrupted him, "I'm not angry after talking..."

Liang Xiao wanted to say something, but Lu Ze hugged him. Lu Ze buried his face in his arms and said in a muffled voice, "You bought me roasted sweet potatoes, are you afraid that I will get angry?"

Liang Xiao was silent for a moment, raised his hand to pat him on the back, and said softly, "You bought me flowers because you were afraid that I would get angry?"

"Hmm..." Lu Ze rubbed against him, "I'm sorry Brother Xiao, my tone was bad yesterday and I didn't want to quarrel with you."

Liang Xiao's heart was numb, he rubbed the back of Lu Ze's head, "It's not a quarrel at all, it didn't start."

Lu Ze laughed twice, with a crying voice, Liang Xiao kissed his ear and said, "Baby, I really can't stand you crying."

Lu Ze sniffled, "I don't want to cry either, I can't help it, tears are not my business."

He raised his head from Liang Xiao's arms, and Liang Xiao searched everywhere, "Are there any wet wipes in the car? Wipe your face."

"Let's eat the roasted sweet potato first," Lu Ze wiped it casually with his hands, "it will be cold in a while."

"it is good."

Liang Xiao picked up the roasted sweet potato again and brought it to Lu Ze's mouth. Lu Ze lowered his head and took a big bite, squinted his eyes in satisfaction, and said vaguely: "Delicious!"

He pushed Liang Xiao's hand, "Quick, take a bite too, it's very sweet."

Liang Xiao took another bite on Lu Ze's tooth marks, and Lu Ze couldn't wait to take another bite.

Liang Xiao smiled, "Can I still eat later?"

"It seems impossible," Lu Ze said while eating, "It's okay, I'll watch you eat later."

The two of them finished a baked sweet potato within a few minutes, and Lu Ze searched the car but couldn't find any wet wipes.

"I haven't driven this car a few times," Lu Ze said, "I don't seem to have prepared these things."

"There's a supermarket across the street," Liang Xiao said, "I'll go buy it."

"Forget it," Lu Ze grabbed him, "It's not that particular, it's all wiped dry."

Liang Xiao turned his head and stared at Lu Ze's face carefully, Lu Ze suddenly kissed him on the lips, "Xiao Xiao."

"Baby." Liang Xiao said.

Lu Ze smiled, "I want to tell you about what happened yesterday. I didn't take the postgraduate entrance examination, mainly because I really don't want to go to school anymore. It's good to work and make money quickly, not because of you. of."

Liang Xiao nodded, "Then have you thought about what kind of work you want to do?"

"My dad's friend's company is pretty good, and he said that I can go there for an internship in my senior year, but I don't really want to go there, and I don't want to be a part-time worker."

Liang Xiao smiled, "If you don't want to be a worker...do you want to be your own boss?"

"Yes," Lu Ze raised his eyebrows, "It's a sense of accomplishment to start your own business and be your own boss."

"What kind of business do you want to create?" Liang Xiao continued to ask, "Open a...remedial course institution?"

Lu Ze was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I really haven't thought about it, I never planned to do anything related to English."

Liang Xiao thought for a while, and when he saw the plastic bag of roasted sweet potatoes they had just finished eating, he suddenly felt as if he had guessed what Lu Ze was going to do.

"You don't mean to... open a restaurant?"

Lu Ze snapped his fingers, "I really know me, but it doesn't have to be a restaurant. It's too much investment. It might be a snack bar or something. I haven't figured it out yet, and I'm still in the confused stage."

Liang Xiao reached out and touched his face, "Don't worry, think slowly, you can be confused first."

"Kiss me." Lu Ze said suddenly.

Liang Xiao's hand was still on his face, "Huh?"

"I said, kiss me..."

Liang Xiao leaned over and kissed him resoundingly on the cheek.

Lu Ze raised the corner of his mouth and started the car, "Let's go, let's eat, how about hot pot?"

"You're full, I'll just go to the bar and have a bite."

"No, I have to go out to eat, I want to commemorate it."

"To commemorate what?" Liang Xiao asked.

Lu Ze looked sideways at Liang Xiao, "To commemorate our first quarrel."

He thought about it for a while and felt wrong, and changed his words: "To commemorate the first time we didn't quarrel."

Liang Xiao smiled for a while, "Okay, such an important event must be commemorated."

While waiting for the red light, Lu Ze suddenly asked Liang Xiao, "Xiao'er, do you think we will never quarrel?"

Liang Xiao thought about it seriously, "Maybe, Grandma Zhang told me that she and her wife have never quarreled in their entire lives."

Lu Ze was shocked, "Is it so exaggerated? A lifetime?"

Liang Xiao smiled, "I don't know if it's an exaggeration, but I haven't seen it anyway."

"Then let's exaggerate."

Lu Ze freed his right hand, which was firmly held by Liang Xiao. He said, "Liang Xiao and I have never quarreled in our lives."

Liang Xiao said: "Lu Ze and I will never be separated for the rest of our lives."

"This is not an exaggeration." Lu Ze said immediately.

Liang Xiao looked at him, "Yes, it's not an exaggeration, it's a lifetime."
