Bite Your Fingertips

Zhu Zhifei was engrossed in eating fried rice and didn't notice that Lu Shi changed the plate.

Wei Guanglei caught a glimpse and glanced at Lu Shi who was drinking tea from a disposable plastic cup, but didn't speak.

Ever since we ate the hot pot together last week, he has been feeling a little uncertain and uneasy.

This unreliability is now more obvious.

The Lu Shi he knew had no particularly strong emotions towards anything and was always indifferent.

The purpose of playing games is to accompany him and Zhu Zhifei to cheat and take his brothers to fly.It's not like Zhu Zhifei and himself, who will be irritable and unwilling to lose.

At Lu Shi's place, no matter whether he wins or loses, his expression doesn't change.

Driving the track and fishing are all for making money.

As for study, Wei Guanglei thinks that a person has an IQ and is used to being excellent, and as Lu Shi said, if you take the first place in the exam, you will get a full scholarship, live in the dormitory with the best conditions, and get a certain degree of freedom. First, why not take it?

Therefore, Wei Guanglei originally thought that his brother was too indifferent, and even had a little bit of world-weariness that was not obvious.It is estimated that any existence cannot easily arouse his concern and emotion.

Until a Chu Yu appeared.

This person is like an accident.Wei Guanglei couldn't help overturning his own judgment.

Speaking of it, he actually didn't know exactly what was going on between Lu Shi and Chu Yu.

But he could see that Lu Shi cared more about Chu Yu than the rest, even beyond the normal range.

Regardless of whether this concern is the hunter's excitement when facing the prey, the possessive desire not to let go, or something else, Wei Guanglei feels a little startled.

Betting all the intense emotions on one person, on the surface, is strong, taking the initiative first.

But in fact, all attention, thoughts, and emotions are all around that one person, and he has already completely fallen into passiveness first.

The Qingchuan River flows slowly, and the wind blows very thinly, bringing with it moist water vapor.

After finishing half a plate of fried rice, Zhu Zhifei finally fed his hungry stomach. He raised his head and sighed, "This is life!"

He rubbed his stomach again, "It's a pity, my heart hurts to think that I have to write two sets of papers when I go home!"

Chu Yu was eating fish, and was surprised when he heard this, "It's almost two o'clock now, and you still have to write papers when you go home? How late will you have to stay up?"

"My mother enrolled me in two cram schools. Tomorrow will be all day long. The cram schools still have homework. I can write two sheets tonight. I won't be able to sleep anyway."

Zhu Zhifei poked the remaining half plate of fried rice with chopsticks, "My mother is also amazing. She just started her second year of high school, and she is looking up the recipes of her third year. She is afraid that I will overuse my brain, so I ask my neighbors everywhere, what kind of soup is the best to cook?" Brain supplementation. So, this indicates that my mother has just started to use her skills, and she has only enrolled in two cram schools, and it is estimated that next semester will be fully occupied on Saturdays."

No one in Chu Yu's family cared about his studies, whether he made up lessons or not, it was up to him.Now just listening to it makes me feel a lot of pressure.

The night is clean, there is wine, food and friends, Zhu Zhifei just talked about it.

"Ever since I was in elementary school, my mother has told me to study hard, study hard, earn a lot of money in the future, and move out of Qingchuan Road. I am quite self-aware. As for me, my talent is only average. I am not as good as the top, but I am more than the bottom. I am far from her." It is estimated that it is still more than a little short of the requirements. But I also tried my best, I did my best."

He ate a bunch of roasted tofu in two bites, "As soon as Gao entered Jianing private school, my mother was probably swollen and said she would send me abroad. How much money does my family have, can I not know? Even if I sell iron, I don't have the money. Besides If it wasn't for the school's half tuition and miscellaneous fees reduction and scholarship, I wouldn't have entered Jianing Private School at all."

Wei Guanglei beckoned, and asked the boss to take two more cans of pineapple beer.

Pull the ring and put it at Zhu Zhifei's hand.

Zhu Zhifei scolded with a smile, "Get out, I'm the one who wants to go back to write papers, and drink ass!"

That's what he said, but his hand was very honest, and he took it.

Wei Guanglei smiled, "Isn't this to match the atmosphere?"

"What atmosphere?"

"The confused teenager in adolescence pours out his thoughts on the riverside at night."

Zhu Zhifei was amused, "You are the fucking confused boy, I know it very well. Study hard, get into a good school, earn a lot of money, and provide for my mother's pension. My goals are solid and clear, so I'm so confused! "

"Don't fart, fart, how uncivilized."

Wei Guanglei held the can and drank pineapple beer by himself, "However, if your mother would be so happy when she heard your words, she will cook you an extra egg for breakfast tomorrow."

"Don't worry about whether I can have more eggs for breakfast."

Zhu Zhifei thought the glasses were in the way, so he took them off and put them aside, "What about you, Shitou, have you thought about it, do you still study or not?"

Lu Shi, who hadn't spoken all the time, also raised his head and looked at Wei Guanglei.

Chu Yu ate quietly, consciously not interrupting.

Wei Guanglei put the half-empty can on the small square table, and smiled indifferently, "I guess I won't read it anymore. Unlike you and Brother Lu, I can find a way out of reading. Besides, I'm going to study, I What to do at home, what to do at the store.”

Zhu Zhifei bowed his head, neatly arranged the barbecue sticks next to each other, and lowered his voice, "Your dad...has no news yet?"

"I thought he was dead a long time ago." Wei Guanglei's expression faded, and the corners of his mouth curled up in sarcasm, "He gambled a lot back then, lost the bet, borrowed usury without telling my mother, couldn't repay the money, and ran away. He left me and My mother, from the day she ran away without a trace, I regarded him as dead. My mother and I are both doing well now, at least we don’t have to worry about food and clothing. So important."

Chu Yu ate the fish bit by bit.

He suddenly felt that he was lucky enough.

Although his father passed away unexpectedly before he was born, and his mother was too busy to take care of him, but he still has older brothers and sisters, with good enough financial conditions, a car and a house, and no worries about food and clothing.

He didn't have to work very hard to get what many people dream of.

Even compared to most people, he was born in Rome.

Zhu Zhifei patted Wei Guanglei on the shoulder, "Okay, okay, your dad is really not human. It's fine now, after all, if you are asked to memorize functions and chemical formulas, it is better to let you perform an ascension to heaven on the spot."

Wei Guanglei kicked Zhu Zhifei's stool with a smile, "Fuck off, are you running on me?"

Zhu Zhifei laughed and hid behind with a plastic stool.

Lu Shi took a sip of tea and talked to Wei Guanglei, "Remember to tell me if you don't have enough money."

"Well, I can pay it back on time in the past two months. If I really can't get it all together, I'll ask you to borrow some." Wei Guanglei held the can and touched the plastic cup of Lu Fashion's tea, "Good brother, I I won't say thank you."

Wei Guanglei drank and Lu Shi drank tea, "Well, I have eaten at your house a lot."

Wei Guanglei smiled.

Seeing that the boss was going to collect the net by the river, Zhu Zhifei casually put down the plastic stool, and called Chu Yu from a few steps away, "Xiaohua, do you want to go and have a look together?"

Chu Yu was very interested in these things, "Yes! Wait for me!"

The boss had a head-mounted searchlight on his head, and Chu Yu and Zhu Zhifei followed behind.

The slope of the river bank was flooded, slippery, and pitch black. They didn't go down, they just watched from the bank.

Zhu Zhifei stretched in the night wind, and said something out of place, "Actually, the stone wasn't called that name at first."

Chu Yu looked away from the river and looked at Zhu Zhifei, "What's that called?"

"Wei Jiaqiang, hahaha, isn't it silly? He changed the current name himself, after his father ran away."

Zhu Zhifei's tone was very relaxed, and he told Chu Yu, "Guanglei, it means being open and upright. At that time, his family was being chased by usury debts, threats, splashes of paint, everything was done. Shitou said that in his life , will never be like his father, who is a street mouse and a wimp."

"He wants to live a bright and aboveboard life."

Chu Yu couldn't tell what was going on in his heart. He heard the sound of splashing water when he pulled up the fishing net, and said, "It's a very good name."

"Yes, with Shitou's level of education, it is not easy to find this name. I don't know how long I have looked through the dictionary."

Zhu Zhifei scolded Wei Guanglei mercilessly, helped his glasses, and said, "Brother Lu and I have always been very concerned about whether Shitou should continue to study. For a family like ours, it is doomed that only by studying this There is only one way to go up. Therefore, Brother Lu is still dragging the stone to make up for him.

But now, I feel that people are really different from each other.

My family, although not much money, but enough food and clothing.There is nothing for me to worry about. If I concentrate on studying, my merits and virtues will be complete.The stone is different. He has already carried the burden of the family's livelihood on his shoulders.So, as a brother, do I...just respect his choice?Xiaohua, do you think my idea is correct? "

Chu Yu didn't nod or shake his head, "My brother taught me that everyone has their own way of life, and it's not a good thing to forcibly interfere in other people's lives. Maybe, life is like drinking water, knowing whether it's warm or not?"

Zhu Zhifei looked at Chu Yu in surprise, "School beauty, I didn't expect you to be such a school beauty."

"Then what do you think I am?"

Zhu Zhifei rubbed his nose, "Uh, probably...why not eat minced meat? Hahaha, after all, there is a huge gap between you and me, Stone, in terms of growth environment and so on."

Chu Yu stared, "I'm not stupid!"

Zhu Zhifei grinned and apologized, "Well, my fault, I took it for granted."

The owner of the barbecue stall was dragging the fishing net up, Zhu Zhifei raised his voice and asked, "How is it, how much?"

The boss is cheerful and happy, the wrinkles on his face seem to be smiling, "These fish have no brains, they all jump into the net!"

Zhu Zhifei laughed.

Chu Yu also laughed.

I feel very happy at this moment.

When walking back, looking at the dilapidated barbecue stand from a distance, and Lu Shi and Wei Guanglei sitting at the small square table, a thought suddenly came to Chu Yu's mind.

Zhu Zhifei's goals are to study hard, pass school exams, find a good job, make money, and take care of her family.

Wei Guanglei's goal is to pay off his debts, take care of the auto repair shop, and share the burden for his mother.

Even the owner of a barbecue stand may aim to attract more diners, catch more fish, make money, support a family, and raise children.

So... what about himself, what is his goal?

Chu Yu's footsteps stopped.

He suddenly discovered that after living for 17 years, he couldn't tell what his goal was.

I drove away from the river, and within a few minutes, I returned to Qingchuan Road.

Chu Yu looked around, surprised, "So close to the river?"

"That's right," Wei Guanglei pointed in the direction, "Over there, after the alley has been detoured, go straight down and you will be by the river. So Qingchuan Road is a good place to live, with the river breeze and cool summer."

When the car drove back to the warehouse, Wei Guanglei pulled down the shutter door and locked it.

Clapping the ashes on his hands, Wei Guanglei looked at Chu Yu, "What are you doing? Why don't you just stay?"

Chu Yu waved his hand, "No trouble, I'll take a taxi home, it's very convenient."

Wei Guanglei didn't force it, and asked Lu Shi, "Zhu Zhifei will go home to make papers in a while. How about you, Brother Lu, let's make another one? There are braised vegetables at home."

Lu Shi put his hands in the pockets of his jeans, revealing a black wristband.

"No, I'll send him off."

"Ah?" Chu Yu didn't like to trouble others, "I'm not a girl, so don't send me off."

Lu Shi didn't speak, turned and walked out.

Finally sent it.

I don't know if it's because of excessive adrenaline secretion and excitement during racing, or because he sucked too much blood when he was in the car. As soon as he got in the car, Chu Yu's whole body became limp and he couldn't open his eyes.

Before driving far, Chu Yu leaned his head against the glass window and fell asleep in a daze.

The taxi was driving on the empty road, and the street lights kept receding along the way, and the warm lights passed through the car windows, casting layers of light and shadow.

Drive into the tunnel.

There was an unchanging picture in his field of vision. Lu Shi turned his eyes and saw Chu Yu's eyelashes cast a subtle shadow under the light.

He didn't sleep well, his brows were slightly frowned, his fingers were bent, and he held his cuffs loosely, his breathing was quiet and harmless.

After watching for a while, Lu Shi lowered his eyes, stretched out his hand, fished the person over, and put it on his shoulder.

Movement is light.

Chu Yu instinctively rubbed the cloth on Lu Shi's shoulder, and murmured unconsciously, "Lu Shi..."

Get out of the tunnel.

There were few people on the street, and the cold neon lights flew by outside the car window. After a few seconds, Lu Shi responded in a low voice, "Yeah."
