Secret photography
Li Mantao quickly took out his mobile phone, clicked on C's confession wall, and saw the photo in the middle of the grid at a glance.
I don't know what angle the person who took the photo was taking it from, but he just happened to capture his entire front, and the two red spots were particularly obvious in the white field.
This wicked person cleverly selected some of the most misleading photos. Most people would think that Rong Yi lifted up Li Mantao's clothes, but they couldn't see that it was actually Rong Yi who helped to hold up Li Mantao who was about to fall.
Li Mantao took a look at the dynamic text: You didn’t call me when you opened the impart, right?
Impart? I think I've memorized this word before, what does it mean...
Li Mantao recalled doubtfully and clicked on the comment section while thinking.
What does "impart" mean? I'm confused. Who are these people?
[The above is too pure, try reading it out loud]
Li Mantao opened his mouth and tried to recite it, but his face suddenly turned dark.
What a mess!
Is this how you play with English? You're just trying to stir up conflict between the two countries, you know?
[Gathering together to lift clothes, this is too silver-gray]
I passed by Building 18 last night and happened to see the gym owner across from the school standing downstairs crying to KZ. As soon as KZ ran away, he stopped crying and his expression changed like turning the pages of a book. I was stunned.
Didn't Kingzone and LeMons get back together? Who's that guy wearing the mask? He looks pretty good.
Who are these people? Why do you all seem to know each other? Do you all go to the same university?
【Upstairs plus one】
The comment section was like a guessing game. Li Mantao spent a long time reading it before realizing that the LMT was himself.
Li Mi suppressed her laughter and asked again, "Hey, that person wearing a mask looks familiar... Who is he?"
Li Mantao browsed the comment section for a while, his brows gradually wrinkled into the shape of a "川" character. The more he read, the more he felt that these alumni were too shameless and dishonest.
He turned off his phone and said, "I don't know him. He just happened to be passing by and gave me a hand."
Li Mi let out a long sigh: "Really? Why does it look a bit like..."
"What's similar? No!" Li Mantao felt complicated when he thought of Rong Yi, and the words he had just seen in the comment section kept echoing in front of his eyes.
How dare these netizens write anything? Aren’t they afraid that the Internet police will arrest them?
No. Li Mantao unlocked his phone again, clicked on the comments, and reported them one by one.
He wants to call the police to arrest them!
Li Mi watched his movements and couldn't help laughing.
"What's wrong? What's so funny?" Kong Zhong walked towards them.
Kong Zhong had been holding the express for quite some time. Li Mantao noticed that his hands were empty, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Why did you take so long?" Li Mantao asked.
Kong Zhong tutted in annoyance, "The courier was stolen."
"Huh?" Li Mantao was stunned. "Are there still college students who dare to steal tablets these days?"
Kong Zhong was stunned for a moment and said, "No, the tablet hasn't been taken away yet. What was stolen was a pair of earrings I bought."
"Oh, I was wondering, how dare a college student steal something worth more than a thousand yuan..."
"I had those earrings custom-made, they cost over 4,000 yuan." Kong Zhong smiled sinisterly, "I've checked the surveillance and found out who it was. You dare to steal from me? I'll kill you, you little thief!"
Kong Zhong got on his electric scooter and said, "Tao, go get your tablet yourself. I've sent you the pickup code. I'll go catch the thief first."
Li Mantao: “…”
Li Mantao and Li Mi exchanged a silent glance, then sighed in unison, "Is this the world of the rich?"
What kind of earrings cost over four thousand yuan?
After picking up the express using Kong Zhong's pickup code, Li Mantao left the post station and found Li Mi still waiting for him outside.
"Would you like to go for a walk on the playground?" Li Mi invited him with a smile.
The playground is right next to the post station. Now the sun is about to set and there are many students walking on the playground.
Li Mantao happened to want to ask Li Mi something, so he readily agreed.
Although they chat in the group every day, it is still different from offline face-to-face chatting.
"What are you busy with recently?" Li Mi asked.
"Learning, drawing and blacking are as easy as pie." Li Mantao concluded.
Li Mi laughed again, "How's that live broadcast thing I told you about going? I think it's worth a try. Maybe you can escape from our poor working class and become an overnight sensation."
"It's not that easy. There are so many people who draw better than me."
"Be a little more confident." Li Mi patted Li Mantao on the shoulder. Just as he was about to ask him if he needed to call on the club members to support him, he caught a glimpse of a person standing a few meters away.
Rong Yi was wearing a tracksuit and a baseball cap, and he looked at her expressionlessly, or to be more precise, at her hands.
Li Mi subconsciously withdrew his hand, and sure enough, Rong Yi's gaze also shifted away, now looking at Li Mantao.
It's a bit weird. Is this the look a roommate gives to a roommate? Is she really into it?
Li Mi didn't speak for a long time. Li Mantao followed her gaze and met Rong Yi's eyes.
Those eyes seemed emotionless at first glance, but they seemed to hide something deeper and heavier.
Li Mantao couldn't understand. This man didn't even recognize him. With that look in his eyes, did he want to fight?
Because he refused his comic convention ticket last night? Angry and embarrassed?
Forget it, I can’t beat him.
Li Mantao looked away, trying to pretend he hadn't seen Rong Yi. "Senior, it's a bit hot. Let's go back."
Li Mi keenly sensed that the atmosphere was not right.
After walking a dozen steps, she couldn't help but look back.
Rong Yi stood there, just looking at Li Mantao's back in silence.
Li Mi calmly straightened his head, his brain working rapidly, and he imagined a story about unrequited love and reconciliation.
Oh, he loved him so much.
When Li Mi was thinking about the part where the mirror was broken, she was feeling depressed when someone suddenly called her loudly.
"Senior! What are you thinking about? I've called you several times." Li Mantao was puzzled.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Li Mi came back to his senses and didn't say what weird things he was imagining just now.
Li Mantao said, "Senior, I heard that you scored over 600 points on the CET-4?"
"Uh-huh, about six hundred and forty, what's wrong?"
Li Mantao took a deep breath and murmured, "Twice as much as mine..."
Li Mi was surprised: "Why is it so low? Didn't you practice any exercises?"
Li Mantao made a crying expression.
He has always been weak in English, and his English score was the worst among several subjects in the college entrance examination. If English had not held him back, he could have gone to a better art school with his joint entrance examination score.
In their school, students can only take the CET-4 in their sophomore year. Li Mantao took the exam once last semester and got a dismal score of 322.
He only achieved this by memorizing words day and night and practicing questions for a long time.
After listening to Li Mantao's crying, Li Mi fell silent.
"How about this, I'll go back and sort out some test-taking techniques. I'll send you a copy when I'm done. If you just memorize more words, you'll definitely pass."
Li Mantao was touched: "Senior sister, you are so kind."
"It's just a piece of cake." Li Mi smiled lightly, thinking that it should be compensation for her random pairings.
"By the way, are you going to the comic convention this weekend? It's at the central gymnasium, and there are quite a lot of guests. Lian Xin Bu Ku will be there too. Don't you like him very much?" Li Mi suddenly remembered and asked casually.
"I'm not sure yet," Li Mantao said. "It was a bit troublesome to go there, and the ticket cost 130 yuan, which is a rip-off."
Li Mantao actually seldom goes to comic conventions. Although he watches anime, he is not a veteran of the two-dimensional world, nor does he do things like eating grain cosplay.
The reason is simple: poverty!
"Hahaha, indeed, the organizers are here to grab the money." Li Mi said, "I guess it's because Yi Rufanzhan is here. He is very popular now."
Li Mantao snorted coldly, "I really don't know where so many people like him. I see other cosplayers hugging and kissing each other during autograph sessions, but he's the only one who's trying to be special. He's like a piece of wood."
Li Mi secretly said, of course it was because the real person was so handsome and had a great figure, and the cosplay was also authentic, so everyone was willing to do it.
But in Li Mantao's eyes, Li Mi's identity was still as easy as pie, so she could only smile and say: "That's right, everyone paid money to see him, but he's so arrogant."
Sorry, it's so easy.
"But, Mantao, I'm a little curious," Li Mi asked, "Why do you like Lian Xin Bu Ku? You don't go to comic conventions very often, so you probably don't come into contact with him very often, right?"
Li Mantao curses Yi Xin Bu Ku in the group every day and drags Lian Xin Bu Ku to sell homosexuality, causing Lian Xin Bu Ku to be scolded by others. Li Mi is very curious about why Li Mantao likes Lian Xin Bu Ku.
Li Mantao thought about it and felt that it was okay to tell Li Mi, so he said, "He and I were neighbors when we were little."
Li Mi: “Huh??”
Li Mantao looked at her strangely, "Why are you so surprised?"
Li Mi digested the information and said, "Nothing, it's just... I feel like Lian Xin Bu Ku has suddenly changed from the second dimension to the third dimension."
What a mess.
Li Mantao said: "We didn't really communicate when we were little. He had to help his uncle and aunt with work every day. It was very hard and there was no time for small talk."
Lian Man was his neighbor when he was a child, and his name was Li Man at that time.
When I was nine years old, a child moved into the house of the couple next door. My grandfather said that the child's mother had died and he had no father, so the relatives pushed the child to his uncle and aunt to raise.
The layout of the dilapidated building was illogical, with the two kitchens facing each other. Sometimes when Li Mantao woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, he would always see Lian Mao busy in the kitchen kneading dough to make dumplings.
Lian Mo's uncle and aunt opened a breakfast shop. Since Lian Mo came to their house, they never got up before six in the morning.
Lian Yu has to get up at four o'clock every day, do all the preparations, and then go to the breakfast shop to help sell breakfast until he leaves for school at seven o'clock.
Li Mantao thought his uncle and aunt were very mean and asked Lian Yu why he wanted to stay here.
Lian Yu said, "Because life elsewhere will only be more difficult than here."
Li Mantao didn't understand at that time, and told Lian Mo that he could come and live with him and his grandfather.
Lian Yu refused, saying only, "Thank you, but it's too much trouble for you."
So Li Mantao watched him live like this for five years, until that day when a gas leak in the breakfast shop killed Lian Yu's uncle and aunt.
When Li Mantao came back from school, he saw only the ruins of the narrow breakfast shop and some people gathered around it, talking among themselves.
"What a sin! Two people died on the spot."
"I think he deserves it. This couple is so mean-spirited. Don't you know that his deceased sister's child is being ordered around by them every day, like a servant?"
"Isn't that his son?"
"How could he order his son around like that? He's enjoying a very good life! He's pampered like a crown prince."
"Alas, the people are gone, and no one says these words anymore."
"Hypocrisy! If you died and your child was taken care of by someone like this, I'll see if you don't curse the dead."
"The dead are the greatest. Oh, I can't explain it to you."
Li Mantao stood in the crowd and listened for a while, then gripped the shoulder straps of his schoolbag tightly and rushed back to the dilapidated tube building.
He didn't put his schoolbag back home, but went to knock on Lian Yu's door first.
No one answered. Lian Shu left.
It's not convenient to share this kind of private matter with others, so Li Mantao simply said, "Later, he moved away, and we lost contact. Later, when I heard about him again, he had already become a famous cosplayer."
Li Mi nodded thoughtfully.
"A family member passed away when I was in my first year of high school. I had no money for rent and tuition, so I wanted to go out and work," Li Mantao said. "I happened to see his Weibo and talked to him about it. He found me an apartment and gave me money to study art."
Recalling that period, Li Mantao felt that he was really lucky.
Although my grandfather's illness could not be cured, he stayed with me for two more years than the doctor had predicted, and he eventually passed away in his sleep.
Although he had no money to pay the rent, the landlord did not kick him out immediately and let him stay for a long time.
Although he had already written an application for withdrawal from school, packed his luggage, and prepared to go out to work and make a living, he found Lian Yu the night before departure, and Lian Yu helped him.
After listening to this, Li Mi sighed and said, "No wonder you protect him so much, he is really your benefactor."
The two chatted casually for a while, and when they arrived at the dormitory building, Li Mantao said goodbye to Li Mi, went to the dormitory manager to pick up the digital tablet he had deposited with her, and returned to the dormitory with the express delivery.
I opened the dormitory door and found no one inside.
Li Mantao put down the express and found an extra envelope on his desk.
"This is……?"
