Chapter 57 Chapter 57 I said Shen Lu is gay.
Ji Maili came back two days late. Chen Lu asked him why he came back late, but Ji Maili was mysterious and refused to say.
New Year's Day was missed, and after that, Chen Lu was busy reviewing, and Ji Maili was forced to read with him. These boring days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for the final exam.
Exams meant winter vacation. The day before the exam, Ji Maili asked Chen Lu, "What are you going to do during the winter vacation?"
On his last day, Chen Lu didn't read, instead he kept changing channels with the remote control. "I'm planning to hibernate."
Ji Maili said, "My paintings have been taken to an art exhibition, and they want me to go too. Why don't you accompany me?"
It felt inappropriate for Shen Lu to accompany you on this kind of thing: "No, let Auntie go with you."
"My mom went with me once last time and she's been disgusted with me ever since," Ji Maili complained. "Just come with me, and I'll pay for your plane ticket."
Chen Lu glanced at him and said, "If your total score on this exam is over 200, I'll go with you."
Ji Maili pretended to read the book all night, but it was unclear whether he was able to concentrate on it or not. The next day, he stared at Shen Lu as he entered the examination room and said, "I'll come find you after the exam."
Shen Lu said helplessly: "There's no need to do this."
Ji Maili glared at him, "You have a criminal record! Your head teacher still looks at me with squinted eyes!"
Old Qian squinted at him. It wasn't because of what happened last time. Chen Lu didn't want to provoke him before the exam. "I promise I won't run away. Go back quickly. The bell is about to ring."
After two days of exams, Ji Maili felt like his hair was about to be pulled out bald. If he couldn't pay the two hundred yuan, he might as well drop out of school.
After the exam, Liang Lin prepared a table of dishes for them to celebrate in advance.
Chen Lu admired Liang Lin's psychological quality very much. For so many years, Ji Maili always ranked last in the exams, but Liang Lin was able to take it easy. She would cook a table full of dishes for Ji Maili after every exam.
Chen Lu felt that Liang Lin wanted to put some pressure on Ji Maili at first, but later gradually found that this trick didn't work. However, having a good meal after the exam became Ji Maili's habit. The young master was spoiled and didn't want to change once he got used to it. The habit of having a big meal after the exam has been retained until now.
Liang Lin picked up a piece of fish for Shen Lu and said, "You've worked hard on the exam. Eat fish to nourish your brain."
Shen Lu: "Thank you, Auntie."
Ji Maili also followed Liang Lin's example and picked up a piece of fish for him: "Yes, you need to eat well."
Chen Lu: "You should also make up for it."
Ji Huan said: "He doesn't need to be supplemented, his brain is still fresh."
Ji Maili nodded, and after nodding a few times, he realized that this didn't seem to be a compliment to him, so he glared at Ji Huan.
Liang Lin didn't give the two siblings a chance to quarrel, and asked Chen Lu: "Mai Mai said that you promised to accompany him to this art exhibition. I am relieved that you go, but you two children should be more careful when you go out."
Chen Lu raised his eyebrows and looked at Ji Maili, "Execute first and report later?"
Ji Maili was confident in the 200 point prediction. "This is called advance notice."
A few days later, the test results came out.
Ji Maili scored 236 points, ranking second from the bottom in the entire group.
Someone in front of the big list said with emotion: "It turns out that those who have been trained by the God of Slaughter are different."
Ji Maili raised an eyebrow at Shen Lu, "How is it?"
Tao Dacheng exclaimed, "That's awesome! I'm not last anymore. Do you want to celebrate?"
Ji Maili chuckled, "It's just average, just a casual test."
Chen Lu laughed, "Well, if you're second this time, you'll be third next time. To celebrate Mai Mai's progress, I'll treat you tonight."
Ji Maili looked at Tao Dacheng and Shen Lu numbly, "Can't you just stop emphasizing whether I'm last or second to last and just say congratulations on my improved grades?"
Shen Lu hugged his neck and said, "Okay, to celebrate Mai Mai's improved grades, whatever you want to eat, brother will treat you."
Hotpot is the most popular dish in cold weather. Ji Maili doesn't like spicy food, so Chen Lu chose a Chaoshan beef hotpot restaurant.
After eating and drinking, we came out of the hot pot restaurant at 8 o'clock. We had finished our exams and didn't have classes tomorrow. Tao Dacheng suggested: "Do you want to go to the game? I haven't been to a game in a long time."
Ji Maili: "How can anyone still compete in such a cold day? It's all snowy, isn't the track slippery?"
Tao Dacheng said: "It's slippery, but the money is huge. If anyone dares to run, the money will be several times higher than before."
Ji Maili looked at Shen Lu worriedly.
Shen Lu knew what he was thinking, "Don't worry, I'm not so heartless as to risk my life for money."
The wind was cold and biting. Shen Lu helped him put on his hat and asked, "Do you want to go and see it?"
Ji Maili: "I'll go if you promise not to play."
Shen Lu assured: “Well, not on.”
-
Ji Maili didn't expect that there would be so many people coming to watch the car race in such horrible weather. Driving a car wildly was dangerous to begin with, and it was even more unsafe on the snowy road. But looking at these people watching the race, not only did they not feel it was dangerous, but they were all excited as if they were watching a battle between humans and beasts in a Shura field.
Hearing the sound of the motorcycle whizzing past, Ji Maili felt scared. He repeatedly warned Shen Lu, "You must not go there, you know, it's so cold, driving so fast will make you freeze like an idiot."
Shen Lu pressed his head through his hat: "Don't worry, it's enough for one of us to be stupid. I won't let myself become an idiot in front of you."
Shen Lu was not here to compete today, and he did not tell anyone at the stadium that he was coming. In order to keep a low profile, he even wore a mask. His cell phone rang, and Chen Bin sent a message asking if the person sitting next to Tao Dacheng was him.
Shen Lu wondered, how could he still notice him coming even though he was covered up like this?
He turned to look at Tao Dacheng, who was standing next to him. He had taken off his hat and scarf, his hands on his hips, and his shirt half-zipped down, as if he was afraid that someone wouldn't recognize him. "Can't you just sit down?"
Tao Dacheng was stunned by the scolding, "What are you doing?"
-Brother Bin: I know it’s you. Aren’t you cold sitting up there? Come down quickly. I have something to talk to you about.
Chen Lu sighed and said to Ji Maili, "Do you remember there was someone named Chen Bin on Fei's birthday last time?"
Ji Maili nodded, "That bald guy?"
Shen Lu smiled. Chen Bin was born with no hair, so he usually wore a wig. That day, he drank too much and took the wig off his head in excitement. Shen Lu found Ji Maili's expression at that time funny when he thought about it now.
Shen Lu: "Yeah, it's him. He asked me to go down. Will you go with me?"
Ji Maili became more alert, "Isn't he asking you to play?"
Shen Lu said, "I won't go."
Tao Dacheng was unwilling to go and even persuaded Ji Maili, saying that he would not be able to see the game if he went downstairs, and insisted that he stay here to accompany him.
Ji Maili ignored him.
When Tao Dacheng saw Ji Maili and Shen Lu leaving, he yelled at the top of his voice: "You are so mean!"
When they went down, Chen Lu reminded Ji Maili: "Don't mention his hairlessness in front of Brother Bin later."
Ji Maili sneered, "I'm not stupid."
The office was not big, and various motorcycle parts were placed inside. Shen Lu pushed the door open and walked in, and his footsteps suddenly paused.
"Chen Lu, you're here..." Chen Bin just greeted and his face froze when he saw the person who came in behind Shen Lu.
How come this brought another one?
Besides Chen Bin, there was another person in the office. He stood up and smiled, "What a coincidence! I didn't expect you to come here today."
Shen Lu looked at Chen Bin, who had an expression that said, "I didn't know you brought anyone here."
Ji Maili poked his head out from behind Shen Lu, "Tan Chong?"
Tan Chong was stunned: "...Mr. Ji?"
Shen Lu turned around and looked at Ji Maili, "Do you know him?"
They did know each other. During the Chinese New Year two years ago, Tan Chong and his father came to their house to give gifts. Ji Maili even suspected that the accident was caused by Tan Chong's father.
Tan Chong laughed, his laughter not very friendly. "Young Master Ji, such a big thing happened in his family, I didn't expect you to still be in the mood to come here to play. I wonder if Mayor Ji spoiled you so much that he thought you were heartless."
"You fucking..." Ji Maili hated it most when people mentioned his father, let alone that person was him. He could be ignited by any spark, so Tan Chong's words were like throwing a lighter on him.
Shen Lu stopped the man by the waist and looked at Tan Chong. "I brought him here."
Tan Chong looked at the way Chen Lu was hugging someone and raised his eyebrows: "How did you two know each other?"
Ji Maili didn't like what Tan Chong had just said, and neither did Shen Lu. He said with a cold face, "He's my childhood friend. Uncle Ji has watched me grow up. What you said just now was very rude."
Tan Chong was a little surprised by this. He and Ji Maili had known each other for almost two years, but he had never heard of any childhood friends. Tan Chong smiled insincerely and said, "Sorry, I don't know."
Tan Chong looked at Shen Lu and said, "I haven't been here for so long, I thought you didn't run away."
Shen Lu didn't say anything.
Seeing that Shen Lu was really angry, Tan Chong said: “I apologize for what I said just now, don’t be angry, are you free now, I’ll treat you to a drink.”
"I'm busy." Shen Lu looked at Chen Bin, "What do you want from me?"
Chen Bin didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. He was stunned: "Ah, I, I have a new car here and I want you to help me take a look."
This cold and indifferent look of Shen Lu at this moment was what Tan Chong was used to seeing, but the moment he walked in just now, he was clearly smiling at the person behind him.
Tan Chong glanced at Ji Maili.
Ji Maili frowned and glared at Liang Chong. Ever since they came in, Tan Chong's eyes had never left Chen Lu. He couldn't tell what he felt until he looked at him. Ji Maili suddenly felt provoked and clenched his fist.
Shen Lu noticed that the forearm he was holding suddenly tensed. He glanced at Ji Maili and said to Chen Bin, "Let Brother Fei take a look. I'm not a professional."
Although Chen Bin intended to call the man down for Tan Chong, he also really wanted him to help watch the car: "No, we're already here."
Tan Chong: "That's right, now that you're here, not only do you not want me to buy you a drink, but you don't even give Brother Bin face?"
The car stopped outside and several people went out together.
The wind was strong outside and the people in the stands were very noisy. Chen Lu and Chen Bin were looking at the cars. Ji Maili didn't understand, so he stood not far away and looked for Tao Dacheng in the opposite stand.
Tan Chong came over from Chen Lu's side without knowing when. He walked behind Ji Maili and asked, "Are you and Chen Lu a couple?"
Ji Maili turned around suddenly, "Are you sick?"
Tan Chong straightened his coat and said, "I've been pursuing him for a long time, but he never agreed. A few months ago, Chen Bin told me that he had a girlfriend, but I didn't believe him."
Ji Maili was stunned. "Who the hell are you chasing after?"
Tan Chong raised his chin towards Chen Lu who was watching the car, "He, Chen Lu."
Ji Maili felt like he had been kicked in the head by a donkey, "You're crazy, he's a man!"
Tan Chong glanced at him and smiled, "Of course I know he is a man. Aren't you a man too?"
Ji Maili: "What the hell does it have to do with me?"
Tan Chong raised his eyebrows: "It's really none of your business? If you say so, then I will continue to pursue you."
Ji Maili was anxious. "Chase your mother! I told you he's a man, and you're still chasing him?" "No!"
"No? Why?" Tan Chong looked at him. "You don't want to admit you're gay, but you're still bullying me. What's going on? Do you want to be expelled from the party and fired?"
Ji Maili didn't understand his nonsense, "I don't know what you are talking about."
Tan Chong looked at the person walking towards them from behind him and said with a smile: "I said Shen Lu is gay. I have had my eye on him for a long time. If you are not, stay away from him."
"Tan Chong!"
