At 12:30, Hou Junqi finished his ranking and rubbed his belly while negotiating with a nerd who was immersed in a sea of questions, "Shu, are you going to leave or not? There are beautiful women and golden houses in the book, but there is no rice?"
Zhang Shu glanced at the clock on the podium and took off his glasses. "Let's go. I won't starve you to death."
Hou Junqi jumped up and said, "Hurry up, I'm almost pressed against your back."
Zhang Shu laughed wantonly: "With your chest, you won't be able to stick to your back even if you are hungry for ten days or half a month."
Hou Junqi: "Stop talking nonsense, skinny people are amazing!"
The cafeteria was deserted at this time and the food was sparse.
The iron frames in the counters were almost empty, and the few items that had food on them were not meaty, only some vegetarian dishes, and some even had only side dishes left.
The two of them almost finished up the leftovers. Zhang Shu ate with a blank expression and Hou Junqi was about to cry. Without meat, he would be unhappy the whole day. He missed sister Su Jin's braised pork ribs, fried crispy pork, braised hairtail, cola chicken wings, beef with sauce... No, even stir-fried eggplant was better than the dish of food that Tang Monk was eating in front of him.
"Ah Shu, how long will it take us to eat in the cafeteria? Give me a number." Hou Junqi asked while poking at the rice.
Zhang Shu raised his eyelids, his eyes a little speechless, "Didn't you say that you would support my sister's wedding and even wished you were her brother? Now you regret it?"
"How can that be possible? I have to keep fighting for Sister Su Jin's happiness," Hou Junqi ate a few mouthfuls of rice and then stopped abruptly, "Then can we have breakfast? What the hell is this food..."
Zhang Shu: "You came too early, so can someone sell it to you for two yuan?"
Hou Junqi said: "We are not short of money, right? Didn't you just sell your notebook of wrong answers?"
Hou Junqi was really impressed by this money-making trick. Zhang Shu sold his notes to the owner of a stationery store in Beimen, who made copies and sold them to his junior schoolmates. It was a win-win situation for both sides.
Zhang Shu: "Do you think that little money will last you a long time?"
Hou Junqi: "I'll lend you money!"
He regretted the moment he said it. This was not about money. Zhang Shu was determined to save face this time and prove to Zhang Sujin that he had the ability to be independent so that Zhang Sujin could live her own life without worry.
What's more, he knew Zhang Shu. He had saved money for two years, probably several thousand yuan. In order to become independent as soon as possible, he tried many ways to make money. He made a lot of money just by playing electronic products and game accounts on the Internet. Zhang Shu was really smart, and he was just a good person.
"Can't you be nicer to yourself? If you weren't so picky, Chen Mengyao would have come to you a long time ago..." Hou Junqi was angry but dared not say anything, and muttered in a low voice.
Zhang Shu raised his head, leaned back in his chair, and looked at Hou Junqi, "What does it have to do with her? Others don't have brains. You're with me every day, and you don't have brains either? You can just not follow me."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Hou Junqi stopped just as he was about to pick up the chopsticks again, "Zhang Shu, what do you mean? Is that what I meant?"
Zhang Shu said: "It's meaningless. This is my business. You don't have to worry about it."
Hou Junqi felt a surge of anger in his chest and his head tilted. "Does it really matter to say such things? How can we be brothers like this?"
Zhang Shu still had that lazy expression.
Hou Junqi stood up suddenly, threw away his chopsticks, and turned his head.
He walked all the way to the cafeteria door but didn't hear anyone calling him from behind. He scratched his head and finally turned around.
Zhang Shu just ate his meal quietly without even looking at him, as if his good friend's leaving in anger did not stir up any commotion in his heart.
Hou Junqi turned around angrily and strode away.
He became angrier and angrier as he walked along the road. After he left the north gate, he hailed a taxi and went to a restaurant alone.
It can be said that he and Zhang Shu did not know each other until they fought, but they fought others together.
When he was in the first year of high school, Zhang Shu was not a top student, but he was not as bad as Hou Junqi. They both didn't like studying, but Zhang Shu could always rank around 15th or 20th in the class, while Hou Junqi was always at the bottom.
He didn't like Zhang Shu at first because this guy was so arrogant and cool.
The most annoying thing is that people don’t do anything cool or say anything cool, but every move they make is so cool.
Girls should be flocking to him, and boys should be the only ones who are attracted to him. But strangely, boys also hang out at his desk all day long, and a lot of them brag about him behind his back.
Hou Junqi came from a basketball team and had been a leader among the kids since he was young. He had never seen anything like this before.
The first time they dealt with each other was in a class basketball league. Apart from anything else, Zhang Shu played well, but he was too civilized. The two of them couldn't cooperate with each other. Good-natured people are often bullied. The opponents were obviously playing street style, with frequent fancy fouls. The referee also blew the whistle for a foul. Hou Junqi couldn't help but pushed the referee and was sent off. Class 6 lost its main force and lost the championship.
That night, Hou Junqi went to the referee class to block him and was told that the boy had gone to the Internet cafe to have fun. He hurried to the Internet cafe, but he didn't expect to see a 1v3 fight in the alley.
Zhang Shu was alone, but he was not at a disadvantage against three sophomores. In the end, it was not his moves that made him win, but his brain.
The three men only knew how to punch and kick like a swarm of bees. Zhang Shu decided to capture the leader first. He hid behind a tree, then grabbed the referee's arm, twisted it back, and pressed it against the tree. The referee screamed in pain, and he couldn't see how Zhang Shu did it.
Zhang Shu said: "You are the referee, and you are not qualified to play basketball, just forget it."
The referee almost cried out for help and apologized repeatedly.
At this time, a man in Zhang Shu's blind spot quietly picked up a glass bottle from the trash can on the roadside and was about to throw it at Zhang Shu's head. Hou Junqi jumped out from the back door of the Internet cafe and kicked the guy on the butt, making him fall flat on his face.
After the fight, the two sat at the back door of the Internet cafe and drank. Hou Junqi said, "I can avenge myself. There's no need for you to meddle in my affairs."
Zhang Shu glanced at him and said, "You are being sentimental."
Even so, the beer can touched his. Then Zhang Shu tilted his head back and drank the whole can, and the can shook and smiled at him.
Hou Junqi felt as if he had been tricked. At that time, he had only one thought in his mind: this boy is really handsome.
He swallowed it in one gulp as well.
Just like the sip of wine they drank when they swore brotherhood in Peach Garden, the two men became brothers.
He could never realize that Zhang Shu was such a good fighter, what a skinny guy.
Later, when they played together, he finally understood where Zhang Shu's fighting skills came from.
Zhang Shu is a poor man, he has neither father nor mother.
His father died suddenly of heatstroke at the construction site, and it was reported in the newspapers. The foreman and the developer came to his house every day to mediate. His mother became depressed when she was pregnant with him, and died on the day she gave birth to him. He was raised by his sister who was 18 years older than him.
His sister Zhang Sujin was originally a singer. Although she had sung a few songs that didn't make much of a splash, she was still very young and extremely pretty, so she had a bright future if she could hold on.
But in order to support Zhang Shu, Zhang Sujin gave up her musical dream, returned to Nanli from Dongzhou, and sold breakfast in her hometown to support her family. She was good at cooking and pretty, so her business was prosperous. But because of her beauty, she often got into trouble with bullies, so Zhang Shu was able to fight since he was a child, and no one knew how many beatings he had received to develop this skill.
Zhang Sujin saved some money, and when Zhang Shu was in the third year of junior high school, she came to the north gate of Nanjing University Affiliated High School and opened a fast food restaurant.
Zhang Shu had been living a ragtag life, and just for this he was admitted to the affiliated middle school. It was amazing that in the second half of his third year of junior high school he went from being in the middle to being ranked around 800th in the city.
If we say that Meng's mother's three changes moved heaven and earth, his sister is almost the same.
Because the food in the fast food restaurant was delicious, word spread quickly and Zhang Sujin started a lunch care business where old customers would bring in new customers.
She is 35 years old, not married, and has never been in love. She just keeps saying that there is no suitable one.
Zhang Shu knew it was all because of him.
He hopes that Zhang Sujin can have her own happiness and live her own life.
A week before school started, Zhang Shu met the man who was pursuing Zhang Sujin. He kissed Zhang Sujin and proposed to her, but Zhang Sujin pushed him away.
The man looked gentle and refined, but his eyes
It was all love. He respected Zhang Sujin in his words and deeds, understood her concerns, was willing to take care of her brother together, and was even willing to wait for her.
Zhang Shu also saw Maybach standing beside the two of them.
A person whose economic conditions, personal conditions, and character cultivation are impeccable.
It was obvious that Zhang Sujin was also kissing passionately.
But Zhang Sujin rejected this marriage.
Zhang Shu had a quarrel with Zhang Sujin that night. Zhang Shu swore that he would never eat a bite of her food again. He wanted to separate from her and advised her to give up the idea of being a "brother-supporting demon" as soon as possible.
Hou Junqi also took care of Zhang Sujin's lunch. Zhang Sujin only charged him half of the money, and he often ate at the banquet because of Zhang Shu's relationship.
He was not talking nonsense, in his heart, Zhang Sujin was also his sister.
Zhang Shu is a difficult person to define; he does not fit into a box.
As for the top students, they are wilder than anyone else after they leave school. No one dares to mess with them. As for the gangsters, they are very smart and if they want to get the first place in the exam, they will really get it.
Hou Junqi felt sorry for Zhang Shu and admired him. It seemed that there was nothing Zhang Shu couldn't accomplish. If there was anything, it was just a matter of foundation and time. He was very honored to have a friend like Zhang Shu. But sometimes he would be too hypocritical and think that he and Zhang Shu were just friends for fun, and their spiritual worlds were not the same.
So Zhang Shu's words today made him feel that his thoughts were exposed. He had lost all his energy. He followed people around like a lapdog all day long, and even asked his father to use his connections to get him assigned to the same class. But people didn't seem to care whether he followed them or not.
But then he thought, Zhang Shu has always been a nagging and vicious person, so maybe he was just talking.
He felt a little regretful and suddenly turned hostile.
A bit of a primary school kid.
Does he really consider him as a friend? Damn!
The cicada's chirping in the afternoon is heart-wrenching, but it is like a lullaby to those who are drowsy.
Hou Junqi was sleeping soundly on the table. He was unaware that his drool was all over his arm and he was almost snoring.
And the most embarrassed person is Shengxia.
She had just bought a book box at noon and placed it next to her desk to store books. The desk only had the books she needed for today's class, so she had a good view and everything was tidy.
The consequence of having such good vision is that now when she lowers her head a little, she will see——
Hou Junqi was broad and tall, with his entire upper body lying on the table. His clothes moved up, revealing the crotch of his underwear with English letters written on it.
Throughout the class, Shengxia's face was red as she kept looking up and down. After finally waiting for the class to end, she immediately ran out to get some water. But when she got the water and went to the bathroom and came back, Hou Junqi was still sleeping.
It was the break time, and the classroom was bustling with people doing all kinds of things. There were even people playing shuttlecock in the corridor, but it did not disturb his deep sleep at all.
Xin Xiaohe and Yang Linyu were discussing when Hou Junqi's saliva would drown him and wake him up. The two of them were laughing secretly, and obviously they both saw Hou Junqi's trousers.
Xin Xiaohe didn't react at all.
Shengxia was too embarrassed to mention it. She sat down, bent over, and moved the books she had just taken out of the bookcase back to the table, piling them up one by one to form a tall wall of books.
Block this indecent scene.
As soon as she finished stacking, she saw Zhang Shu sitting sideways, one leg on the crossbar of the chair, his elbow on his thigh, his chin in his hand, watching her busying around. I don't know when he started watching her. The look in his eyes was no different from looking at a fool.
Doesn't she want to be a fool who moves books around?
He was wearing glasses at this time. Others looked nerdy in black frames, but he looked more bookish. His unruly look was suppressed a little, and he had a kind of half-gentlemanly and half-fashionable intelligence.
He did not look away when their eyes met. In fact, he didn't know if it was her illusion, but the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, as if mocking her.
Shengxia thought: Is this the kind of smile that seems to be there but is not there?
Shengxia was dazzled by the reflection of the lens.
In the line of sight, he stood up, walked to Hou Junqi's desk, and knocked on the table: "Do you want to go to the canteen?"
His voice was not loud, much lower than the other noises in the classroom, but Hou Junqi was so sensitive that he jumped up as if he had heard a military order, and said in a confused tone, "Where are we going, Shu? The canteen? Ah, let's go!"
The two tall men disappeared out the back door.
The sight before my eyes became clear in midsummer.
