Jiao Bai sat on the seat and ate lunch.
The stir-fried meat with garlic sprouts was cold, covered with a layer of oil, and the small green vegetables were stuffed in the rice, but still a little warm. He picked them out one by one, and put them side by side with his favorite sweetened garlic
A few minutes had passed since the scene by the wall.
Looking back now, it was still embarrassing.
At that time, Shen Er An took the sketchbook and left without saying anything, Jiao Bai wanted to wait until he left, but who knew he would stop after leaving. Jiao Bai had no choice but to follow.
The two walked for a while in relative silence before dispersing.
Jiao Bai was glad that Shen Er An was reticent and would not talk nonsense and would not ask him about Qi Shuang. Anyway, it was definitely impossible for Jiao Bai to take the initiative to explain, the only thing he could do was to pretend nothing happened.
He would play dumb.
Anyway, Qi Shuang's side was safe for the time being if nothing unexpected happened. Jiao Bai mixed the vegetables with the rice, and began to eat in big mouthfuls.
"Bai bai, you haven't finished eating yet, so slow." The female deskmate entered the classroom through the back door with a crisp voice.
Jiao Bai turned his head, his gaze swept over the best friend beside her unintentionally. The girl had both hands in the pockets of her school uniform, and a bag of Frost Peanuts hanging from one pocket, swaying as she walked.
"Only your deskmate in class, there is no Shen Er An." The best friend muttered in a low voice, with some disappointment showing inside her eyes.
"I saw them walking together in the shop." The female deskmate whispered to her, "Let me ask."
The female deskmate came to Jia Bai's side: "Bai Bai, why are you alone, and Liang Dong, where did he go?"
Jia Bai swallowed the food in his mouth, unscrewed the cup and took two sips of hot water: "Isn't Liang Dong playing ball in the playground, you can see it from the window."
The female deskmate coughed, and the best friend blushed.
Jia Bai murmured, "I just don't know where Shen Er An has gone."
"He doesn't know either." The female deskmate chattered with the best friend.
The best friend tugged at the corner of her clothes: "Forget it, I'm going back to the classroom."
"Don't you want to inquire about his college entrance examination application? Play with me, maybe he will come back soon..."
Jia Bai didn't pay attention to the little movements of the two girls. He scratched his neck and felt the itchy place after spraying it with the spray from the pocket of the table. He couldn't be exposed to direct sunlight in this weather, it was almost impossible to live.
After taking a few mouthfuls of rice, Jiao Bai glanced at the window in the classroom, Shen Er An probably found a secluded place to do origami.
In the manhua, Young Master Shen was still making dragonflies when he was at his father's age, one a day and put it in a special storage room, even Li Jue was not allowed to enter.
On the other side, Shen Er An was sitting on the stairs outside the computer room, holding a small scissors in his hand, cutting from top to bottom against the middle line of the dragonfly's two wings.
"Brother An, why did you come here?" Liang Dong carried the basketball up the stairs, the jersey clinging wetly against his wide shoulders.
Last night, he invited someone to dinner at home, and they talked about the situation in Nancheng the whole time. After returning home, his father called him to the study to ask his opinion. He had a bird feather size opinion.
If his father insisted on letting him take over the family business, then he would definitely take the entire Liang family to Brother An, needless to say, it was obvious.
When he was a fat and weak chicken in junior high school, he was ridiculed and bullied. Brother An helped him. From then on, they were brothers, brothers for life.
However, Brother An is lacking youthful vigor, he has no desires, no demand, he only likes reading books and origami. Money, power, conflicts of interest and deception are not something that would exist in his world. They won't have a day to fight side by side in the business world and fight in all sides.
"Brother An?" Liang Dong didn't get any response for a long time, so he called out again.
Shen Er An cut the wings of the paper dragonfly.
Liang Dong closed his eyes in disbelief and opened them again. His brother had already torn off the bad wings, and he swallowed a big mouthful of saliva with difficulty.
Something was wrong. Brother An was not right.
Liang Dong couldn't understand why, he held the ball with his feet, and put his arms across the railing, looking for a topic to talk about: "Brother An, did you notice, that Jiao Bai a few days ago looked weird and resentful like a woman being played by a heartless man? but today his face is flushed and he is full of energy. He even hummed out The Eighteen Bends of the Mountain Road* while peeing, I feel that I am too simple. What I told you on the phone last night was wrong."
*A song by Timi Zhuo
Shen Er An took out a square piece of blue paper from the sketchbook again, and folded the paper attentively.
"I'm thinking that he came back to life overnight because he saw your father in Fuyuan Building last night. So, he wasn't abandoned by your dad and came to hook you up." Liang Dong looked around and lit a cigarette after making sure it was safe, "Yes, he is still not give up."
"I really didn't expect that. He came to you because of your father, to take advantage of you." Liang Dong said while looking at Brother An's origami, thinking that Brother An's nails were trimmed cleaner and neater than many girls, don't know what kind of person his future daughter-in-law will be.
"It was for your father from the beginning to the end." Liang Dong shook his head with a cigarette in his mouth.
Shen Er An pinched the edges on both sides of the diamond shape and pressed them inward carelessly.
"Let's not say that your house is guarded by your grandma's big Buddha, which only rules out monsters and ghosts who want to get close to your house. Your father is about to get married, so he still wants to come up and be a third person?" Liang Dong couldn't understand, in fact, the people around them in their circle basically had this kind of virtue, and he didn't care about others. He didn't know why, but he just despised Jiao Bai, all kinds of things were not pleasing to the eyes, "Do you think he has a brain?"
Shen Er An folded the wings again: "Did you take him there last night?"
The half smoke around Liang Dong's mouth trembled: "Huh?"
Facing Brother Shen Er An's darker pupils than ordinary people, Liang Dong felt nervous and depressed as if he was standing on the trial platform to accept the trial: "Well," Liang Dong's head became hot, and the lie popped out, "He begged me! "
Shen Er An looked at him silently.
"Really, Brother An, that kid can tell all kinds of nonsense and myths with his two lips. He does this for a while and does that for a while. you don't know which sentence is true and which sentence is false, don't be deceived by him." Liang Dong turned his head, avoiding Brother An's gaze, and he popped the ash out of the railing, "Last night he pretended to be a waiter and served you food to meet your dad. He called out and said he wanted to say something to Qi Shuang, maybe he was going to play some kind of trick. I disagreed, so he said he would touch me, but I refused because I was disgusted. In the end, I was so annoyed by him that I had no choice but to agree. Although I also can't understand Qi Shuang rushing to be your little mother, but compared with Jiao Bai, Qi Shuang is okay, at least not a demon."
Shen Er An stood up.
Liang Dong was on the same step as Shen Er An, a few centimeters shorter than him, and the oppressive feeling of his height came down from his head, he was so guilty that he kicked the ball to the bottom.
Shen Er An said for a long while: "Dongzi, you are in the circle, you have not been infected with those bad things, yes, isn't it?"
Liang Dong blushed, his father was a rich man with no ink in his stomach, brother An was a top student and in a realm that he couldn't see through, let him admire and revere him. So when his dad scolded him for a whole day for not being in good shape, he was laughing and joking, but when Brother An said a word, he was ashamed of himself.
"Okay, I admit that I took him there last night, and I was the one who let him sneak into the waiter, I just wanted to watch the show and eat melons," Liang Dong raised his voice, "But it is true that he asked me to help him calling Qi Shuang to the waiting room, if you don't believe me, you can ask him for proof!"
Shen Er An turned around and went down the stairs, holding the broken dragonfly wing again in his hand.
Liang Dong leaned against the railing and panted heavily, Brother An was standing up for that kid just now. What do you mean, we are really friends?
What's Brother An thinking, Jiao Bai was raised in Qinlin Garden for two years as one of his father's future wife candidates, and almost became his little mother, so can he be friends with him in this capacity? Isn't it bloody?
It was just dog blood opening the door to dog blood, dog blood has arrived home.
Liang Dong said to himself: "Brother An, if you don't say anything else, just because Jiao Bai has a thousand faces, I can't let him into our circle."
That guy is not an honest and law-abiding person at all, his smiling face is only used to make people relax their vigilance, he is evil and bad in his bones, not a good thing. Liang Dong always felt that the other party had the potential to become a scourge and would cheat people to death.
Tomorrow Sunday, as soon as school was over, Jiao Bai would go to the vegetable market to buy trotters, beef, sea bass, shrimp, and cooked a big meal at home. He quickly put the pig's trotters into the pot to stew, washed his hands, flipped through his schoolbag, brought out his homework, and shook them out on the table.
It was just a day off, why bother.
Jiao Bai casually picked up a paper and spread it on the table, took a picture of a question and sent it to
Zhang Zhen.
J: Sister, the homework is so difficult O_O
When the WeChat rang, Zhang Zhen was driving, he looked at the people in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
The suit jacket on Qi Yiluo's wrist was placed on his lap, his eyes were closed, his dark tie was slightly loose, his adam's apple was half-showing, his fatigue could not be concealed between his brows.
"Third brother, let Xiao Ji come over tonight?" Zhang Zhen asked in a low voice.
"Um."
Zhang Zhen didn't say much anymore, he first sent his third brother back to Lanmo Mansion, and then went to the Academy of Fine Arts to pick up Xiao Ji.
The third brother's people were changed on a monthly basis, and each time Zhang Zhen would create a group in the phone to store the contact information of the other party.
Group 202308 was deleted by Zhang Zhen not long ago, and group 202312 was newly created.
The reason why they were not connected was because Jiang Yan, the lead singer nicknamed Little Pepper in the 08 group had been with the third brother for the longest time, directly spanning from the middle August to late November.
The successor Xiao Ji was much worse than Jiang Yan in appearance, with pimples on his face, flattened facial features, and shrinking body, but his qualifications were better than everyone who had been with the third brother so far. It can be regarded as a reward from God to eat, a natural advantage.
Don't know how long the group 202312 could lie on Zhang Zhen's phone before it would be deleted.
Arriving at Lanmo Mansion, Xiao Ji, who was well-behaved all the way, bent over Zhang Zhen, and said in a very ethereal voice with a bit of restraint and fear: "Thank you Mr. Zhang, for sending me here."
"Go in, don't anger my third brother." Zhang Zhen waved his hand.
Xiao Ji timidly went to the secluded castle. The big man in there was a gentle devil to him. He prayed that he would not make mistakes today. You couldn't go wrong anywhere.
Zhang Zhen pinched his sore neck, he hadn't finished the last job of the day, it was 7:40 and he had to send him back the same way in an hour.
Of course, if Xiao Ji was capable, he might be able to stay in Lanmo Mansion for half an hour longer.
That was a new record set by Jiang Yan, an hour and a half.
Zhang Zhen smoked a cigarette by the side of the car before going to Lanmo Mansion. Aunt Liu gave him the hot iron that she had prepared long ago, and went to work lightly.
Only then did Zhang Zhen have time to read WeChat.
The brothers would call when they have anything, and there is only one person looking for him on WeChat.
Zhang Zhen saw the question at first glance: Is this a physics question or a chemistry question, a math question, a biology question? What question?
Unable to understand, he changed hands and sent it to the group.
All the brothers in the group exploded.
After the explosion, no one could answer, it didn't matter.
- As long as you are handsome, the daughter-in-law goes to High school?
- Real name envy.
-It's a girl, our brother Zhen won't be gay like the boss, right?
-This face of yours really shames me, what is there to make a fuss, a bunch of bachelor! @Zhang, Brother Zhang, you tutored your daughter-in-law with her homework and accidentally sent it in the group?
Zhang:………………
Zhang: It's just a kid I met on the Internet. He asked me about homework. How could I do it? No, I'm here to ask you for help.
A group lemon tree were brushed up in the group.
- Online dating.
- Awesome.
Zhang Zheng couldn't drink anymore. He could understand the brothers' wish for him to get rid of being single, but he couldn't drag his high school student brother into the water. He explained for a long time to turn this matter over. Zhang Zhen wiped off his sweat. Fortunately, the third brother was not in the group, otherwise there would be another greeting from his brother.
After Jiao Bai completed the paper, Zhang Zhen sent over the steps to solve the problem, but it was still wrong.
It was hard to say.
Jiao Bai was busy for a while and found that Shen Er An who told him that he go to the bookstore after school hadn't come back yet, he just remembered now that it had been so long and he didn't even have Shen Er An's phone number!
With no other choice, Jiao Bai had no choice but to call Liang Dong's cell phone number he got from a boy in the class group, but no one answered.
Liang Dong was at home, he threw his phone on the bed and cursed at the messy hall. His sister was originally going to marry Qi Zizhi. She had already made three sets of plans ABC, but after seeing brother An's father up close last night, she became obsessed, to die and live with that big man, even as lover was willing, fucking ran away in anger.
He didn't know where was his sister went, he was the only one left at home.
Liang Dong overturned the exquisite fruit plate. If Brother An knew about his sister, he would be embarrassed.
When Liang Dong entered the room, his cell phone was ringing, he picked it up casually and said in a fiery tone, "Which grandson is looking for this father?"
Jaio Bai cut to the chase and said, "Is Shen Er An with you?"
Liang Dong: "..." How does this guy have his number? are you kidding me?
Jaio Bai asked again: "is he there?"
Liang Dong haha: "Which green onion are you?* Why did I tell you?" It's about brother An, could he answer? He's not a big fool.
*This is used to refer to someone you looked down.
Jiao Bai's voice became cold and deep, impatient and irritable: "is he there?"
Liang Dong subconsciously told the truth: "Not here."
When the phone hung up, Liang Dong was baffled. When he saw a string of missed calls, his eyes almost popped out.
What kind of wind is blowing here, why does it have the smell of someone checking up on his spouse?
Liang Dong slapped himself, sober up.
The sky was dim and gloomy, and Jiao Bai came out of the community. For a while, the general plot of the whole manhua was in his mind, the other would be various small details, and Shen Er An's appearance. His age and experience were very young, so at this time, he didn't have his father's intimidating stern majesty, only a youthful handsomeness and an infinitely spreading calmness.
Jiao Bai couldn't remember if there was a plot tonight in the manhua. He hoped that Shen Er An was just reading in a bookstore and forgot the time, or received a phone call from home and went home for dinner, but he was very disturbed.
This uneasiness made Jiao Bai unable to stop.
The street scene became more and more unfamiliar, and Jiao Bai didn't know where to run. He suddenly backed up, retreated a little more, stopped and straightened his back.
In the sight of Jiao Bai was a group battle as well as the blue veins on the back of Shen Er An's hand.
He remembered.
There was this part of the content in the manhua, not in the youth chapter, but in the memories of Liang Dong who had worked hard for his family's business many years later.
The fight was initiated by the boys who tore up Shen Er An's dragonfly earlier. After they "dropped out" from No. 3 High School, they didn't go to school, because all High schools in Nancheng refused to accept them.
Not only that, but they couldn't go to go to school to other cities. Although they didn't go to study, but not wanting to study and not being able to study were two different things, too humiliating.
This was the power of the Shen family, covering the sky with one hand and not leaving anyone a way to survive.
A few boys didn't listen to their family's persuasion and secretly found a group of people in the society to block Shen Er An. Rich people are lawless, they kill everything, right? Let's see how many lives you have?
Shen Er An was alone, so he couldn't do it.
In the original story, it was Liang Dong who came to find him and took a stick for Shen Er An, breaking a rib.
This incident strengthened their friendship at the time, and also laid the dramatic foundation for their later breakup.
Jiao Bai also remembered something that had nothing to do with the current situation.
In the youth chapter of "Broken Wings", there was a plot about Shen Er An changing roommates. Not long after the student of the same grade moved out, the one who moved in was... Liang Dong.
So,
It was originally Liang Dong who was roommate with Shen Er An until the college entrance examination, but now it was him.
Jiao Bai's breathing quickened, his mind swelled, and his blood rushed straight to his head. Could it be that he was going to take Liang Dong's place and become Shen Er An's best friend?
Shen Er An was stunned when he saw Jiao Bai striding into the alley. He put himself in danger at this moment.
Jiao Bai saw the iron bar swinging towards the back of Shen Er An's head, and at this moment he was still thinking, was it the same in the original plot? Liang Dong's arrival stunned Shen Er An, which gave the opponents an opportunity to take advantage of, and then...
Liang Dong (Jiao Bai) pounced.
The difference was that Jiao Bai slapped Shen Er An on the head with a resentful palm, and then pressed him vigorously in front of him, completely protecting him.
When the stick came down, Jiao Bai let out a scream and pressed Shen Er An to the ground.
Shen Er An looked at the person lying on top of him in bewilderment, the rapidly rising and falling chest was connected to the other's heart.
Jiao Bai curled up in pain, he put his pale and trembling lips to Shen Er An's ear with great difficulty, and said a word intermittently in a breathy voice. It wasn't to arouse sympathy "brother, remember this older brother's kindness", rather,
——Remember the man who beat me...two, no, four, break his four ribs for me.
