Xu Lichen hung up the phone and still sat at the desk, looking at the oil painting thrown on the ground and the damaged safe on the wall.
There was some cash and jewelry in it. His father didn't find what he wanted, so he ignored the money and jewelry, got angry, and left.
Leaving behind a mess.
Everyone left and the house became quiet.
Auntie came over hesitantly and said, "Chenchen, look at this..."
Xu Lichen said expressionlessly: "Clean it up."
But the aunt said, "I don't dare. It's so much money! How about you take the money and the things first? They are all very expensive things. If they are bumped or the money is missing, we can't explain it clearly."
Xu Lichen called his mother's secretary: "Secretary Wang, I need a new safe. Well, please send it over as soon as possible. The person has already left. Tell my mother not to worry about the family, I'm here." After making the call, he continued to sit there, motionless. I watched the aunties clean the floor first and then go out.
The light in the room gradually dimmed.
By the time my aunt suddenly turned on the light, it was already completely dark outside.
Auntie said, "The new safe has been delivered."
Xu Lichen then saw the workers carrying in a new safe. The workers saw what was in the old safe and turned to him and asked, "Sir, this..."
Xu Lichen: "Please help put it in the new cabinet."
The workers firmly refused: "It's such a large sum of money, please put it away yourself."
Xu Lichen didn't want to move, and said, "Auntie, you go."
Auntie looked at him, sighed, and went to move the money and jewelry to the new cabinet.
The workers recorded Xu Lichen's voiceprint password, installed the new cabinet, and left.
Auntie came to call Xu Lichen: "Eat something."
Xu Lichen just shook his head.
He neither ate nor drank, but just sat on his desk, staring at the new safe. I don't know how long it took, but my aunt knocked on the door: "Chenchen..."
Xu Lichen didn't even turn his head: "What?"
Auntie said, "Your friend is here."
…
friend?
Xu Lichen turned his head suddenly.
The girl standing at the door is tall, with heroic eyes and eyebrows, and is very beautiful. Isn’t it Zhang Yansheng!
The aunt looked at Xu Lichen, looked at this beautiful girl, and quietly retreated.
Xu Lichen turned his head and looked at Zhang Yansheng for a while, then jumped off the table and laughed twice.
"What's the matter, Zhang Yansheng? You came all the way to comfort me?" He put his hands on his hips proudly, "Just admit it, are you in love with me?"
"It's impossible for me to like you anymore." Zhang Yansheng supported his waist with one hand and said with certainty, "It's impossible in this lifetime."
Zhang Yansheng hadn't originally planned to come.
Xu Lichen sounded quite strong on the phone, much calmer than in his previous life. He also said, "I'll take care of it." Zhang Yansheng hung up the phone with peace of mind.
No matter what happens in this life, my faith in Xu Lichen is stronger than in my previous life.
During dinner, Zhang Huan scolded Zhang Shuocheng at the table: "...There is not a single day that I can rest assured about. Tell me about you." Zhang Shuocheng: "Humph."
What happened again?
Zhang Heling complained to Zhang Yansheng: "Shuo Shuo had a fight with someone, and dad was called in today."
Now Zhang Shuocheng has been disciplined and taught by Zhang Yansheng at home and has become much more obedient than before. Unexpectedly, he got into trouble at school again.
Moreover, ever since Zhang Shuocheng's homeroom teacher asked parents to invite Zhang Huan instead of Liang Yingying last semester, he found that the effect was much better than inviting Liang Yingying, so whenever there was a problem, he would call Zhang Huan without hesitation.
This made Zhang Huan feel very helpless.
"How dare you fight with a third-grade boy?" Zhang Huan threatened Zhang Shuocheng fiercely, "I'll ask your sister to deal with you later!"
Although Zhang Shuocheng refused to admit his mistake, his eyes that stole glances at Zhang Yansheng still revealed guilt and nervousness.
As long as Zhang Shuocheng doesn't bully girls and doesn't develop in a bad direction in the future, Zhang Yansheng doesn't really care what he does or who he fights with. Even his studies were supervised by Zhang Heling.
Zhang Yansheng’s only responsibility is to beat him when he crosses the line.
Although nuclear weapons are not used easily, their deterrent effect is extremely great. Zhang Huan's threat did cause psychological pressure on Zhang Shuocheng.
After dinner, Zhang Yansheng went back to his room, but Zhang Shuocheng actually came and knocked on the door.
"What for?" Zhang Yansheng asked, blocking the door.
Zhang Shuocheng hesitated for a moment and said something in a low voice.
"?" Zhang Yansheng said impatiently, "Speak louder, what are you talking about?"
Zhang Shuocheng raised his voice: "…He pushed me to the ground and pulled her braids, so I hit him."
Zhang Yansheng understood that Zhang Shuocheng was actually willing to sacrifice his life for the woman he loved.
"?" Zhang Yansheng still vaguely remembered this name, "The girl you like?"
Zhang Shuocheng said, "She has no front teeth. She is too ugly. I don't like her anymore."
Zhang Yansheng: “…”
Is this a genetic trait? Why don't you look in the mirror and see your own missing teeth and loose air.
"Even if you don't like her, why are you fighting with others for her?" Zhang Yansheng asked curiously.
Zhang Shuocheng said as a matter of course: "Because we are friends!"
The little thing has been a bully since he was young, and now he has friends? Does he know what a friend is?
Friends are...
Zhang Yansheng remembered what Xu Lichen said on the phone, "Don't worry about me, I can handle it myself."
She actually heard the force in Xu Lichen's words. Compared to his previous life when he smoked, drank, fought, and smashed wine bottles in anger, Xu Lichen is much more mature and calm in this life.
Zhang Yansheng even wanted to praise him.
She reached out her hand, patted Zhang Shuocheng on the head, and praised him: "In this case, I don't think you did anything wrong. You should protect a girl, not bully her."
Zhang Shuocheng had never been praised by Zhang Yansheng in ten thousand years, and he was truly flattered.
Zhang Yansheng put his hand on the top of Zhang Shuocheng's head.
Does Xu Lichen need praise? Yeah?
Does he need to make sure he can inherit more property in the future?
What does he need?
Is he at home now? Zhang Yansheng was very familiar with that house. Because Xu's father and mother were wary of each other and no longer went back to live there, Xu Lichen was the only one living there for a long time. It became their base of activities, and they often held all-night parties.
He is now alone in that house...
More than friends, but less than lovers, this was the previous life.
We weren’t lovers in our previous life, so it’s even more impossible in this life.
But, we are friends. Always have been.
Because when they are most vulnerable, they are always there for each other.
Zhang Yansheng suddenly withdrew his hand, turned around and went back to the room.
Zhang Shuocheng: “?”
Zhang Yansheng came out quickly, already carrying his backpack, and strode out.
"Where are you going?" Zhang Shuocheng asked.
"Going to see a friend." Zhang Yansheng said.
Then Zhang Yansheng came.
"Fuck!" Xu Lichen cursed, putting his hands on his hips, "Then why are you here?"
"You just said that, I came to comfort you." Zhang Yansheng shrugged, "See if you are hiding and crying alone?"
"Ugh!" Xu Lichen had no idea that there were two marks on his face, but they were still clearly visible with the reflection of the light. He put his hands on his hips and glared: "You won't be able to see it in your next life!"
It’s already the next life now.
Zhang Yansheng smiled and waved his hand: "Come on, I'll take you to a good place. Where is your car?"
The so-called car refers to Xu Lichen’s motorcycle.
The motorcycle was parked in the Xu family garage. Just as Xu Lichen was about to step on it, Zhang Yansheng grabbed his shoulders and dragged him behind him.
Xu Lichen: “Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!”
Zhang Yansheng raised his long legs and straddled it.
"Hey! Are you able to do this?" Xu Lichen didn't trust her very much.
Zhang Yansheng: "Unlock!"
Xu Lichen's car has a customized fingerprint lock. He pressed his thumb on it and the car started. Xu Lichen sat astride the back and asked, "Where are we going?"
Zhang Yansheng told him: "Lakeside."
"So far?" Xu Lichen was surprised. "Going to enjoy the lake view so late at night? I told you I'm not that artistic. If you want to comfort me, why don't we go to Sihou Street for a drink..."
"Stop talking nonsense." Zhang Yansheng put on his helmet and shouted.
Xu Lichen found that he would always be scolded whenever he faced Zhang Yansheng, so he sat down resignedly and put on his helmet. At the last moment, he still asked, "Can you do it?"
The locomotive roared in signal. Xu Lichen quickly hugged Zhang Yansheng's waist.
So detailed! I'm a little uncomfortable with this, as he's always the one taking care of the girls, and this is the first time a girl is taking care of him.
Just as I was thinking about it, the locomotive roared out.
So Xu Lichen finally realized that Zhang Yansheng was very good at riding a motorcycle!
Friday night is full of people out for nightlife, and the roads are heavily congested.
This motorcycle, with a girl and a boy riding it, was moving through the traffic. The female rider's slender and firm legs attracted the attention of people in the car.
The locomotive drove out of the ring road, out of the city, and onto the national highway. The speed increased and the trees on both sides quickly retreated. The buildings gradually became sparse, and when we reached the outskirts of the lake, there were not many residential projects because it had always been an industrial area, but there were quite a few factories and warehouses. If you want to see the lake view, you have to go further away.
But Zhang Yansheng drove the car into a place that looked like a factory. There were many cars parked in the parking lot, almost filling up the huge yard.
Xu Lichen got out of the car, took off his helmet and looked around: "What kind of place is this? It's so shabby?"
The cement on the outside of the brick wall had fallen off and was covered with ivy. It looked like an old factory or warehouse.
But there were several men smoking at the gate.
Zhang Yansheng and Xu Lichen went over but were stopped by them. Zhang Yansheng asked directly: "Is Fatty here?"
The person who stopped them looked at her warily: "Here, you..." He was a little confused by her youth and unfamiliar face.
But Zhang Yansheng paid two thousand yuan very familiarly: "Two people."
These people couldn't remember all the guests, especially Zhang Yansheng, who seemed very familiar with the place. They collected the money and opened the door.
Xu Lichen followed Zhang Yansheng in. There was another door inside. After going further in, there was a thick soundproof curtain hanging from above.
When I pushed aside the heavy curtain, the sound came to my face and pierced my ears.
The open space was packed with people. There was a ring in the middle, with two people punching each other, and the sweat gleaming in the light.
The audience cheered loudly!
Xu Lichen opened his mouth and stared blankly at the underground boxing ring.
Zhang Yansheng turned to look at him and said, "If you think this is too artistic, then I'll go to Sihou Street with you for a drink."
"Go to hell! You can't talk unless you insult others, right?" Xu Lichen scolded with a smile, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm right here!"
Zhang Yansheng glanced at the ring and asked him, "Do you want to go up?"
Xu Lichen's blood boiled.
