Chapter 82 School Beauty Arrives

Pu Yu said: "Then I won't go back. I want to spend the last bit of time today with you."

He spoke to Uncle Zhang and called Mrs. Pu.

Ning Song put his hands in his pockets and listened to him talking to Mrs. Pu. The snowflakes looked like golden sparkles under the street lights. He raised his head. Such youth actually belonged to him.

After Pu Yu hung up the phone, he pulled Pu Yu up and walked towards their home.

When they got home, Ning Wei had already gone to bed, but Liu Fen was still watching TV waiting for them.

Seeing the two of them with snowflakes on their heads, she was very surprised: "It's snowing so heavily outside."

"It was just raining too hard, so I wouldn't let him go," Ning Song said.

After hearing this, Liu Fen quickly brought the oil heater from their bedroom over and went to get another quilt. Then she felt that Ningsong's bed was not long enough, so she took a chair and put it at the end of the bed.

"Sleep on the inside. Xiaosong is a restless sleeper. Don't push you down."

It was too late and the weather was cold, so neither of them had taken a shower. Liu Fen closed the door for them when she left.

Ning Song's bed was very narrow, and the two of them were almost squeezed together. The north wind was blowing outside, and there was a whistling sound from the window. Pu Yu was worthy of Ms. Liu Fen's trust and did not overstep the line, not even taking off his inner shirt.

Pu Yu wanted to watch the video made by Ning Song again, but this time he couldn't catch the fish.

Ning Song took his phone and caught it in no time.

“I’m still the best at catching fish.”

He turned off the bedside lamp and lay down under the quilt. Pu Yu also lay down. The bed was too narrow, so the two of them lay in the same quilt, clinging to each other warmly. Pu Yu watched the video again.

Watching it for the second time, I was still very moved.

"Actually, I didn't have a good first impression of you," Pu Yu said.

Ning Song: “Ah?”

"I think you're flirting with this and that, and you're joking with everyone. I used to think you were awesome and wanted to communicate with you. But every time I click on your posts and see you flirting with others, I don't want to talk to you anymore."

"I was just kidding. Not everyone is like that, and I'm not the only one."

He also follows the local customs, which is the norm in male forums. He thought that he looked very mature and people would not suspect that he was a greenhorn. There is an invisible discrimination between men. When discussing the same topic, if they think you are older, they will be more likely to identify with you and communicate with you more seriously. If they know you are very young, some will not listen seriously. Although if you have real talent and knowledge, you will eventually win their respect, but it takes time to accumulate. He skipped this step directly.

Pu Yu hummed and said, "Maybe I had a crush on you at that time. I suddenly thought of you for no apparent reason and felt a little upset. When you flirted with me and everyone was teasing us, I didn't say anything, but I was actually a little happy in my heart."

Ning Song laughed.

"The first time I noticed you, I remember that I loved arguing with a guy called [Like a Dream Love]. He was swearing and you thought he was scolding me, so you asked him seriously why he was scolding me. I didn't reply for a long time because I was busy at the time. When I logged in at night, I saw you sent me a private message, telling me not to be angry and ignore people without quality."

Pu Yu said: "I thought you were so angry that you didn't want to talk."

Ning Song smiled: "Actually, I thought you were an old man at that time, and you were still pretending to be young and calling me brother all the time."

Pu Yu seemed more serious and earnest at that time than he was in real life. He would not respond to anyone's jokes, so when he responded to a joke one day, Ning Song was startled.

Pu Yu then said, "Be serious."

"I didn't call you brother anymore after that, didn't you notice?" Pu Yu said.

Ning Song changed his position in the darkness and lay face up.

Close your eyes, it's like a dream.

But it shouldn't be a dream, because he used to dream about family and a successful career, but never dreamed about love.

Love is very close, so close that he finds it very novel and addictive. He has never had such a close relationship before, not to mention family affection, which is almost non-existent. Even now with Liu Fen, they cannot be said to be close, and friendship does not give him such a close and comfortable feeling. Only love is like this, a feeling that belongs completely to him, and a person that belongs completely to him.

Because of this, he even wanted to take a step further and become more intimate with Pu Yu, as if this would bring him closer to this person and occupy more of his life.

He is not a complete person. There is a big gap in his heart. He is used to it being empty. Suddenly, he wants to fill it up with family, friendship, and love.

He likes Pu Yu, who talks a lot tonight, very much. These words fill his heart and make him happy.

The two of them talked about everything from the time they met to the time when they didn't know each other. Because their lives were so different, they had a lot to talk about. Liu Fen woke up at night and heard it, and said outside: "Xiao Song, go to bed early, stop chatting, it's already so late."

Ning Song said to Pu Yu: "Okay, now you know we have been chatting all night. I will protect your innocence."

Pu Yu hugged him and laughed.

When I woke up early the next morning, it was snowing heavily outside.

After breakfast, the snow on the road had not been cleared yet, so Liu Fen asked Pu Yu to leave later.

Because neither Li You nor Zheng Xiaobo attended the birthday party yesterday, Ning Song planned to go to his mahjong hall with Pu Yu.

When I arrived at the mahjong parlor, I found the door was closed.

He called Li You, but his phone was turned off.

He called Zheng Xiaobo, but no one answered.

Pu Yu said, "Call Qiao Qiao and ask him."

The wind was quite strong, and the snowflakes on the eaves kept flying down like it was snowing. Pu Yu pulled the hood of his down jacket outwards, and then put it against Ning Song's hat to keep the wind and snow out.

Ning Song called Qiao Qiao, who was still asleep: "Xiao Bo? Xiao Bo hasn't been home recently. Didn't I tell you yesterday?"

"Where did he go? Brother You's phone is also turned off."

"He said he was out with his friends, but I didn't ask for details. Is his phone unreachable?"

“No one answered.”

Ning Song had just finished speaking when he saw the curtain behind the glass door being lifted.

Zheng Xiaobo looked at them holding an iron rod.

Ning Song: “…”

When Zheng Xiaobo saw that it was the two of them, he put down the iron bar in his hand and opened the door: "Why are you here?"

"What are you doing?" Ning Song asked.

Zheng Xiaobo smiled and said, "Someone came to cause trouble recently, so I took it to protect myself. Come in."

Ning Song and Pu Yu went in and saw Li You was also inside, sleeping wrapped in a quilt.

There were only two of them in the mahjong parlor. Ning Song asked, "Where is Sister Hong?"

"I went back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year and haven't come back yet."

Zheng Xiaobo reached out and swept the instant noodle buckets and cigarette butts piled on the table into the trash can: "Why did you two come here?"

Then he looked at Pu Yu and said, "Happy birthday."

"Thank you." Pu Yu looked around. "Hasn't the crackdown started again in Xiagangwan recently? Is there anyone else causing trouble?"

Zheng Xiaobo said: "Well, this is when things are most chaotic."

Li You woke up and saw that the two of them were also a little dazed.

"Brother You."

Li You responded, and seeing Pu Yu patting the snow off Ning Song's body, he squinted and asked, "Is it still snowing outside?"

"It's not snowing anymore," Ning Song said. "It's just snow blowing down from the eaves."

Ning Song was wearing thick clothes and an indigo scarf. He looked bright and beautiful from the inside out, so much so that even the silent and dull Pu Yu seemed to have warmth and light when he stood next to him.

Li You looked at him for a while, his mind finally cleared up, and he got dressed.

The four of them went to have breakfast together. Along the way, Ningsong saw that all the businesses were open and it didn't look like the security situation was very bad.

Li You's hand didn't seem to have recovered well, and his little finger seemed to have some weakness.

I didn't pay much attention to it before, but it was especially obvious when I held the chopsticks slightly drooping.

Ning Song then asked, “Didn’t you say before that you recovered very well?”

Li You said: "It does not affect my life."

Ning Song asked: "Who did you offend this time?"

Li You raised his head.

Ning Song said, "Everyone else is open for business, why is your mahjong parlor the only one closed?"

"Sister Hong returned to her hometown, and this is her shop." said Li You.

"When we knocked on the door, Bogo was holding an iron rod."

Li You pursed his lips and poured a lot of vinegar into his rice noodles. He probably didn't know how to answer.

Ning Song asked, "One finger is not enough, how many more do you want to break?"

Zheng Xiaobo said, "Ning Song, you shouldn't say that."

Li You: "Xiaobo."

Pu Yu touched Ning Song with his knee. Ning Song said, "I only care about you because I treat you as a friend."

"I know, I know." Li You said with a smile.

Ning sighed.

"I really understand." Li You said.

The tone was so helpless, so helpless that it was almost loving. Pu Yu even looked at Li You a second time.

Li You's eyes met his and he lowered his head to eat the noodles in big mouthfuls.

After dinner, they went back. On the way back, Pu Yu asked Ning Song: "Are you interfering too much with Li You?"

"Brother You helped me a lot before." Ning Song said, "Have you forgotten that he was limping before?"

Pu Yu thinks Ning Song is just too soft-hearted.

If someone is nice to him, he will remember it very much, so he cares about many people, including Sheng Yan before and Li You now.

He himself rose to his position by being docile and soft-hearted, so he was very sensitive about this and was afraid that others would follow his example.

In order for him to let go of these people, it is necessary that these people are also living well.

For example, Sheng Yan, he thinks Ning Song has let it go now.

Li You's condition is indeed worrying.

He didn't want Ning Song to keep worrying about it.

Pu Yu thought about it and said, "I think he listens to you. If he doesn't, there may be other reasons."

Ning Song turned to look at him.

Pu Yu said: "If you want to intervene, you can first find out the reason."

After returning home, Ning Song thought about it and asked Qiao Qiao to make up a reason to call Zheng Xiaobo out.

When he saw Zheng Xiaobo, he said, "You are Brother You's best brother, right? You miss him too, right?"

Zheng Xiaobo: "...You say it."

"Who did he offend?"

Zheng Xiaobo said: "The Qin family."

He pursed his lips and said, "He has been preventing me from telling you. I don't know if you still remember that last year someone submitted a report saying that Qin Yi abused boys and also ruined the reputation of Qin Yi's father."

Ning Song asked, "Was it he who delivered the materials?"

Zheng Xiaobo nodded: "In fact, when someone sent you a threatening letter, he found out that it was Qin Yi who did it, so he wanted to destroy him completely. I tried to persuade him at that time, but he didn't listen. He got some dirty information about the Qin family from some friends. There was a black casino in the underground city, which was the business of the Qin family. He collected some information and submitted it. At first, it was an anonymous report, and no one knew who it was, but suddenly one day someone stopped us. Li You's tendon was cut off at that time. Damn it."

Ning Song's face turned pale: "Is he from the Qin family?"

Zheng Xiaobo shook his head: "I don't know, they are all a group of professional thugs. We just suspect that they hired someone from their family. Fortunately, they don't have any evidence, and Li You is not a person without a backer."

"Are you on guard against these people now?"

Zheng Xiaobo shook his head: "No, many people know about Li You's injury, and we have a guy called Four Eyes who took the opportunity to pick a fight. Li You beat up his little brother a while ago. This is how it is here. Either you suppress me or I suppress you. It's really a mess here. Li You doesn't want you to get involved, and there's a reason for that. He often says that you are no longer the same kind of person as us."

He looked at Ning Song and said, "So don't blame him for messing around anymore. Even if he doesn't look for trouble, trouble will find him. Li Youchang said that this is how our lives will be. He was drinking with me before and said that there was a time when he thought things would be different, but later he realized that his dream was too beautiful. I think the time he was talking about was when I was studying very hard last year."

He looked up at Ning Song and said, "So Ning Song, stop blaming him."

Ning Song pursed her lips and nodded.

His reaction was a little beyond Zheng Xiaobo's expectations, because he felt that Ning Song was about to cry.

"I'm not saying this to blame you, after all, you don't know."

Ning Song nodded: "Thank you, Brother Bo, for telling me this."

"Don't tell Li You about this. He has his own stubborn logic! He will be very angry."

Ning Song went home and soon arrived at the mahjong hall with his schoolbag.

Seeing him coming again, Li You was stunned for a moment: "What are you doing here?"

"I'm bored alone, so I came to do my homework here."

"There's no heating here, and you write here."

"We don't have heating in our house. You must have fallen behind in your studies recently, so I can help you catch up," Ning Song said.

He turned around and saw that Li You had locked the door again and closed the curtains.

Of course Li You won't make up for the missed lessons. He has been playing "Black Rose School" recently.

He and Zheng Xiaobo were lying on the bed playing games while Ning Song was doing homework beside them.

At noon, Ning Song did not leave and invited them both to have lunch.

As a result, in the afternoon, Li You couldn't bear it anymore and urged him to leave.

"We have to go out for something," he said.

"I can stay and look after the store for you guys."

Zheng Xiaobo chose not to speak.

He felt that the Ningsong he had talked to all had a different temperament.

Li You was about to say something when he heard the sound of a motorcycle outside.

He drew aside the curtain and took a look outside. When he turned back, he saw that Ning Song had already grasped Zheng Xiaobo's iron rod in his hand.

Ning Song's hand was aching from the iron popsicle, so he walked to the door and looked outside. He saw seven or eight young men getting off a motorcycle, talking and laughing as they walked towards the door and knocked on it.

Li You thought for a moment, then turned to Ning Song and said, "Put down the stick."

Then he opened the door.

Zheng Xiaobo had already jumped up from the bed, ran to Ningsong and tried to pull her inside, but Ningsong did not move.

An extremely handsome boy, dressed very quietly, holding an iron rod in his hand, it was so incongruous.

A group of people from the other side came in through the curtain. They looked like the hooligans that Ning Song was most familiar with and hated. They asked, "Where's the money?"

Li You took out a bag of money wrapped in a red plastic bag from the drawer and threw it over.

The leader was a man wearing glasses. He took the money in his hand, opened it and took a look: "This is not the amount we agreed on, right?"

Li You said: "This is for your brother's medical expenses. If you give more, there will be no more."

The other party sneered and turned to look at Li You: "Brother You is still so tough. I heard that Brother You's hands are no longer strong."

"Then you guys give it a try." Li You said.

The other person glanced at Ning Song and Zheng Xiaobo, paused on Ning Song's face for a moment, raised an eyebrow, then looked at the iron rod in his hand and smiled: "This is the first time I see this handsome boy. He's so fierce."

Li You said, "Take the money and get out."

The other party took a chair from the mahjong table and sat down, crossing his legs and staring at Ning Song: "Are you a student?"

Ning Song asked, "How much do you want?"

Li You said, "Don't worry about it."

"You want to pay for him?" The other party looked at him.

"Let me see how many years you'll have to spend in prison," Ning Song said.

The opponent's face darkened, and his brothers were about to rush forward, but were kicked away by Li You.

Several hooligans immediately got angry and stepped forward to roll up their sleeves. Zheng Xiaobo picked up the bottle on the ground and said, "Come on!"

"If you still want to claim medical expenses, I have some." Li You pushed Ning Song to the back.

The other party stood up and said: "Brother You is really tough. It seems that if I don't chew off this tough bone of Brother You, it will be difficult for me to survive in this street in the future."

He walked out and said, "Smash them all for me. Ask the fishmonger for Xiaoliu's legs."

When Zheng Xiaobo heard this, he threw the bottle in his hand over and said, "Fuck your master, come and ask for it if you dare!"

The man with glasses reacted very quickly. The wine bottle brushed past his neck and hit the door curtain with a "bang", then fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Ning Song immediately pushed Li You away and rushed forward with a stick in hand.

It was too late for Li You to stop him. Ning Song flicked his wrist, and the iron rod went around Li You's arm and hit the man in front in the lower abdomen. The two sides instantly engaged in a melee, and in less than ten seconds, they all dispersed.

Because they were all frightened by Ning Song.

This guy looks so delicate, but he is so ruthless!

They want money, not lives!

Several people fell to the ground, hugging their arms and wailing. Fortunately, they all used their arms to protect their heads. If the stick had hit their heads, they would have lost half their lives.

Li You was a little stunned, because in his impression Ning Song had always been a relatively good student. He also heard that Ning Song was very powerful and beat Qin Yi into a pig's head. But seeing is believing. Ning Song beat Qin Yi harder and harder, which made people feel scared. He snatched the iron rod from Ning Song's hand. Ning Song looked at him while panting, with a puzzled expression, and then he snatched the iron rod back.

"Fuck." The man in glasses retreated to the door, looked at Ning Song in disbelief, and signaled others to drag the local brothers over.

There were wailing sounds in the mahjong parlor, and the surrounding shops came over and then backed away.

"You are so cruel!"

"How can I be your father if I'm not ruthless!"

The opponent lost the battle but not the formation: "Just wait for me!"

Ning Song held the stick and watched those people walk away swearing. He took a breath, licked his lips, and asked, "Haven't they been severely beaten recently? How come someone still dares to come and collect protection fees?"

But Li You and Zheng Xiaobo did not answer him. They both looked at him in surprise.

The fierceness and sharpness in Ningsong's delicate features faded away. He tucked the scarf around his neck and looked at the two of them.

"You're so good at fighting." Zheng Xiaobo sighed.

Ning Song said, "These people are all dog-skin plasters. They want to seek revenge tomorrow after beating me today. You have to be ruthless. They look so arrogant, but they are actually afraid of death. They won't dare to mess with you unless you see someone who doesn't care about his life. Besides, there is no surveillance here, and they broke into our store. They are probably frequent visitors to the police station and have a lot of criminal records. If we go to the police station, the police will definitely stand on my side. I am very good at pretending to be pitiful."

He spoke very clearly, like a seasoned expert. Zheng Xiaobo said, "I will look at Brother Ning with new eyes from now on."

I always thought he was a good boy who would only bite when he was cornered.

Li You looked very serious and said, "You can't hit me like this."

"Will they stop if I don't beat them like this?"

“They may not be able to stop.”

"They won't be able to get away with it for a few more days. Uncle Pu will come back and punish them severely." Ning Song said, "I have experience. You listen to me."

"I don't want you to get involved in these things. Just read your books and don't get involved in these things."

"Then I don't care if I see it?"

"None of your business."

Ning Song stood there for a while with his lips pursed. He was now able to control his temper and stood there without saying a word.

Li You went to the room to get his schoolbag, carried it out for him, stuffed it into his hand, and raised his hand: "You can go."

Ning Song picked up his backpack and left. Zheng Xiaobo chased him to the door, then stopped and turned to Li You and said, "Why are you so stubborn?"

Li Youla came to the door and said, "If he had hit someone on the head just now, do you know what the consequences would be?"

"I think he is also experienced and knows how to act with discretion."

Li You said, "He has no sense of propriety." He frowned and looked at Zheng Xiaobo, "Did you say anything to him?"

Zheng Xiaobo felt guilty, and Li You was about to kick him.

"He asked me, so I told him. I didn't tell him that you liked him!"

Li You was stunned.

Zheng Xiaobo said: "Do you think I can't see anything? You are so scared, and you dare to rush at me."

Who knew that after a while, Ning Song came back again, this time bringing a master to install surveillance.

Li You went straight to the back room and ignored him. Zheng Xiaobo came to help and said, "We have installed it before, but it is useless. Who do you think is behind these people?"

"It will be different from now on, believe me," Ning Song said.

"Will it be different?" Zheng Xiaobo asked.

Staring at the installed camera in a daze.

"Yes." Ning Song said firmly.

Ning Song helped the master to debug and checked it on the computer. Li You was lying on the bed.

After he was well, he left.

Halfway through the journey, he turned around and saw Li You following behind him.

He ignored him and went straight home.

After dinner, I saw Li You still outside.

He went down and said, "You are doing this for my own good, and I am doing this for your own good. Why do you have to do this?"

"That's too dangerous for you."

"If it were the other way around, you wouldn't ignore it either." Ning Song looked at Li You, "I'm hungry, please treat me to a midnight snack."

Li You took him out for a midnight snack.

The two of them ordered two bowls of wontons on the roadside.

The soup is sour, spicy and appetizing.

It was cold and the food was steaming hot.

The hot soup warmed her body and heart. Ning Song started talking more and said a lot of things to reassure Li You: "I am not an ordinary person now. I have hundreds of thousands of fans. If I encounter any injustice, I will definitely be heard by others. I know that sometimes a sense of justice alone is not enough. I have money now, and we also know Pu Yu and his gang..."

Li You silently finished the bowl of wontons, drank up the hot soup, and said, "Do you know why I don't want you to control me?"

Ning Song was startled, and said while holding the wonton in his mouth: "I don't want to know."

Li You laughed and said, "It's not just because I don't want you to get involved in these things."

"Brother You." Ning Song interrupted him, his eyes falling on his lifeless little finger.

"And because the more you act like this, the more I like you. Because I like you."

Li You said: "...You see, we can't be friends anymore."

He stood up, moved his mouth, and said, "After you move, don't come back to Lower Harbor. You don't belong here."

Ning Song raised her head to look at him, pursed her lips, and tears were about to burst out, but she held them back.

Li You walked away. It was very cold, but the bowl of wontons was the only thing that kept him warm. It was the most delicious bowl of wontons he had ever eaten.
