Ma Xiaoding sent him the address.

Linqing Road, near No. 1 Middle School, is a leisure and entertainment street. There are internet cafes, chess and card rooms, KTVs, and billiard halls. It is a place for many students of No. 1 Middle School to have fun after class, and it is also a gathering place for gangsters.

After Song Yu got off the car, he looked around but couldn't find the place.

So I asked Ma Xiaoding.

[I have arrived at Linqing Road, the specific location]

Sadako's portrait stayed still for a long time. Ma Xiaoding didn't know how to describe it for a while. This place was too remote and there were no landmark buildings.

Finally he looked out. A flash of inspiration came to him, and the artistic youth in him was eager to try.

[Sadako never forgets the well digger: Yu brother, look up at the sky.] 】

Song Yu held the phone in his hand for a few seconds, then listened to his words and looked up at the sky.

There were some birds perched on the telephone poles and the blue sky was endless with a few clouds floating in it. There was nothing special. He looked carefully but didn't see anyone sticking their heads out of the window of that building to wave at him.

Song Yu didn't understand and typed.

【? 】

Ma Xiaoding replied particularly quickly this time.

Have you ever seen a cloud that looks like cotton candy? 】

Song Yu: “…”

Ma Xiaoding was overjoyed.

[I'm on the right side of that cloud!] If you follow it, you will find me! Brother Yu, I’m about to start! Let’s talk later! 】

Song Yu: “…”

What a psycho!

Xie Sui looked at his expression and smiled gently: "What's wrong?"

Song Yu turned off his phone, expressionless: "Nothing, just that there may be one more person calling me."

Xie Sui laughed and asked gently, "What's the name of the Internet cafe?"

Song Yu thought for a while and said, "What is Hua?"

Xie Sui raised his eyes and looked at the street. Jingcheng was a place that he had very vivid memories of when he was a child. In order to make money, I basically ran around the area near No. 1 Middle School. He quickly memorized the Internet cafe, which had a name that contained Chinese characters and was located in a remote area where it was not easily discovered by the teacher. Her eyes narrowed slightly, she held the plastic bag and took a step forward with her long legs: "Follow me."

As a newcomer, Song Yu was of course obedient.

I crossed the street, turned into an alley between two buildings, and walked a few steps forward, where I found a staircase.

Xie Sui said, "On the second floor."

Song Yu opened his mouth wide, very surprised: "This Internet cafe is so remote, how did you know about it?"

Xie Sui smiled and said, "I used to work part-time here."

Song Yu was stuck for a second: "Then you have quite a lot of part-time jobs."

Xie Sui didn't answer this question, his eyes narrowed slightly: "You went to beat someone up, but you didn't even know the place?"

Song Yu waved his hand: "Don't mention the place, I don't even know what the person I want to beat looks like."

“…”

Thanks Sui.

This is also Song Yu’s style.

Second floor, Internet cafe.

When Song Yu walked in, Ma Xiaoding had already lost. He slammed the table and angrily took off his headphones to hit the fat guy next to him: "I told you not to go in the last wave, but you insisted on going. It pissed me off! You're to blame for losing this round!"

The little fat man held his head in pain and said, "I was wrong, I was wrong, Brother Ding, I was wrong."

"Tsk." A tall, thin boy in a white T-shirt sitting far away from them sneered, "Come on, Ma Xiaoding, you'd better take the blame. You are the breakthrough point of your team, a 1/9 shooter, awesome."

Ma Xiaoding was not convinced: "In the middle of this game, a web page popped up on my computer! It doesn't count! Let's try again!"

The white shirt-sport boy curled his lips and said, "Tsk, you can't afford to lose, so you have so many excuses."

Ma Xiaoding: "...Fuck, you're so crazy after winning a game. Tonight at nine o'clock, outside the dormitory, I'll fight you. If you don't come, you're a fool——"

He suddenly took back the harsh words he had just uttered and swallowed the last word "zi". He stared at the person who walked in with wide eyes, stunned.

When Song Yu went upstairs, he kept calling Ma Xiaoding, but Ma Xiaoding was so absorbed in the game that he ignored the vibration of his phone and didn't answer it.

Now see the real person.

Song Yu hung up the phone with a cold expression.

Ma Xiaoding looked at him, stunned: "..." How come Brother Yu came so quickly! !

But before he could explain, Song Yu had already strode over, looking so gloomy that he wanted to chop him up.

Ma Xiaoding raised his hands in surrender: "Brother Yu, I can explain. I really didn't hear the phone ringing just now."

Song Yu sneered and flipped through their chat page: "Don't worry, explain to me first, where is that cotton candy-like cloud?"

Ma Xiaoding: “…”

? ? Don’t people nowadays have any romantic feelings at all?

Isn’t it poetic to follow the clouds?

＊

Ma Xiaoding covered his forehead and walked in front: "When I went out to the toilet, I heard them talking about those dirty things while walking. It's so infuriating. Come on, Brother Yu, let's go to the restaurant to challenge them."

"Third floor, third floor. I saw them go up to the third floor with my own eyes."

Song Yu, who was planning to retire, pulled the corner of his mouth, not wanting to talk about this with a bad boy at all. He deliberately slowed down his pace and waited for Xie Sui.

Ma Xiaoding's younger brothers were all terrified as they looked at this young man who made their big brother bow and nod.

He looks delicate and tender, but his movements are decisive and ruthless, and you can tell at first glance that he is not someone you can easily mess with.

And the key point is...is the person following him Xie Sui?

Several people and Xie Sui were classmates in junior high school. Apart from his outstanding academic performance and outstanding appearance, their impression of him was that he was silent, gloomy and withdrawn.

But now, Xie Sui was a little different from what they remembered.

There are still some similarities, the cold and aloof aura that keeps people away has not changed.

But it feels very different.

The former Xie Sui was like a vine growing tenaciously in the darkness, wrapped in thorns, living a repressed and numb life. One look at him could make one feel the gloom.

But it’s different now. That kind of gloom became an indescribable temperament, and every move seemed very elegant and calm. Whether the eyes are smiling or not, they look a bit cold, casual and dangerous.

Several younger brothers followed behind in silence.

Song Yu looked up at him in the hallway and asked, "Do you remember what I told you, to beat up Zhu Zhixing when school starts?"

Xie Sui paused and came to a conclusion in an instant. He stared at him with his dark eyes and chuckled, "So when you say you're beating someone up, you're actually avenging me?"

"Ah?" Song Yu reflected on whether he was too attentive. If someone showed too much attentiveness for no reason, he was either a traitor or a thief. He covered up his guilt and said, "No, it's just that the food they cooked was too shabby."

Xie Sui: "Oh?"

Ma Xiaoding now treats Xie Sui as his own, after all, Yu Ge’s deskmate is also his friend.

He was leading the way, and due to his poor hearing, he only heard Xie Sui's questions.

In order to rebuild his image in Brother Yu's mind, he took the initiative to take credit for Song Yu: "Isn't that right? Brother Yu didn't plan to come originally. He planned to study hard and ignore these trivial matters. But when he heard me say that Zhu Zhixing, that idiot, had feelings for you and wanted to beat you up, he changed his mind immediately! He asked me for my address! He rushed over without stopping! Do you think this is righteousness? Tsk, Xie Sui, our Brother Yu is sincere to you."

Song Yu: “…”

Damn, Ma Xiaoding, you are dead.

The light in this corridor was dim, and the two people were very close to each other. Song Yu could clearly hear Xie Sui's chuckle.

The breath was slightly hot, and the laughter was tingling in the ears.

Song Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense."

Xie Sui always followed his will. His eyes seemed to be shining with stars in the dark. He tried to hold back a smile and said, "Okay."

Song Yu deliberately slowed down his pace, thinking about what Ma Xiaoding had said to him. The more I think about it, the more upset I become.

In "Gentle Control", Xie Sui suffered too much bullying and insults during his school days. He had no impression of Chen Zhijie at first because he could only read a few lines at a glance. You can threaten Xie Sui's grandmother. This trick was used by Gong Er in the original novel to threaten Xie Sui to stay with him.

Using your closest relatives to threaten you is too low. He doesn't know how a high school student could come up with such a trick.

Song Yu said: "I still think that he should give you an apology and an explanation for your three years of junior high school."

Xie Sui's eyelashes trembled, as if smiling.

Song Yu stared at the stairs, walked forward step by step, and said to himself calmly: "Yes, that's it."

Given Zhu Zhixing's character, he is now frightened by Ma Xiaoding and dares not spread rumors. But there is no guarantee that he won’t do something more extreme in the future.

It is better to give him an unforgettable memory so that he will always deeply understand what he can say and what he cannot say.

Ma Xiaoding went to the third floor in a rage, where there was a small billiard hall.
