Chapter 93: Good earthy bromance, buy with caution-[Occasions in the 7th and 8th classes of the sophomore year of high school

"My sweet and sour pork!"

In a ktv box near the seventh middle school, Wang Luan pressed his cigarette into the ashtray and twisted it out, and couldn't help but pick up the microphone and growl, "I haven't even had my sweet and sour pork yet!!!!!!!!!"

Zhang Xianjing was ordering a fruit plate, he sniffed and kicked him in the calf: "Scared me to death, are you alright, didn't I just order one for you at the restaurant?"

"Can it be the same? I want the taste of home! It's the taste of school! It's the taste of the cafeteria aunt!"

Zuo Kuan: "What, the cafeteria aunt is your mom?"

Wang Luan: "You fuck off."

After being kicked out of school by Hu Pang, some of them discussed the idea of getting together once in a while, so they decided to have dinner together and find a place to have fun.

Yu Fan and Chen Jingshen had nothing to do tonight anyway, so they agreed.

Yu Fan is sitting with his feet on the table, an ungainly position. But here, that's how everyone sits.

He was almost leaning on Chen Jingshen, staring at the music video on the TV screen, still thinking about the appearance of Nancheng Seventh Middle School, Zhuang Fangqin and Hu Pang. Someone poked his arm, and Chen Jingshen handed him a cup of something.

Yu Fan absently took a sip, then paused, "Chen Jingshen, are you handing me hot water in here?"

"You just had a stomachache last night." Chen Jingshen said.

Yu Fan was speechless, under Chen Jingshen's watchful eye, he had eaten three meals a day on time, and his stomach problem had rarely occurred, but occasionally he still had a small attack, which he had tolerated quite well, but Chen Jingshen could find it every time.

Then he was held by Chen Jingshen and covered his stomach with his hand for half a day, covering out the fire Chen Jingshen also refused to do it, and used his hand to send him off. And the next day, he only had congee--

His thoughts were interrupted by Wang Luan's phrase "Zuo Kuan, why are you deleting my song?" Yu Fan snapped back to his senses and almost slapped himself, what was he thinking about in public......

"Stop singing and play for a while. Schoolboy, still playing dice?" Zuo Kuan shook the dice cup at them, "Giving you a chance to avenge the blood feud six years ago."

Before Chen Jingshen opened his mouth, his neck was hooked by someone, and he hugged back like a woman of his elder brother. Yu Fan lazily stretched out his head and said to the other end, "No, you go play with Wang Luan."

Zuo Kuan: "What's the point of me playing with him? No, you don't play anything, you don't drink, so what are we doing here, listening to Zhang Xianjing sing?"

"Anyone who wants to hear me sing has to brush their gifts, so don't give me any face!" Zhang Xianjing said, "Besides, wouldn't you ask some drinkers to come over and play?"

"I was thinking, it's not ......" Zuo Kuan said, glancing at the two people leaning together on the couch.

It's fucking weird. When he was at school, he thought these two were quite unique, both of them were like a tugging and not caring, how did they fall in love so mushy, sitting next to each other?

"Why are you looking at me?" Yu Fan raised his eyes, "I don't care, you can scream if you want."

"Really?" Wang Luan, who had been bored for most of the time, suddenly came to life and looked at Chen Jingshen again.

"I'm casual too." Chen Jingshen said.

As soon as the words came out of their mouths, Zuo Kuan and Wang Luan immediately started shaking people on the phone.

They and the high school familiar with a few people have actually always kept in touch, and occasionally will be asked out to dinner entertainment, just recently the end of the year, everyone is busy, counting also a long time have not seen.

The first one to come in was Zhu Xu, who had cut his hair clean and flat, and smiled even more sunny than before. When he saw Yu Fan and Chen Jingshen, his smile didn't even have time to retreat, and he opened his mouth to say, "Holy shit!"

The second one is Wu Cai, who pushes in the door in a dusty manner: "I really envy you guys, I'm still working overtime today, I just came straight from the company, my boss is really not a human being ...... eh? The school bully also came - I grass Yu Fan?"

Then there was Gao Shi, the class president, who had a big heart, sat down for a chat, turned his head and met Yu Fan's eyes, Gao Shi's hand shook, and he spilled half of the wine in his glass, which was then filled up by Wang Luan chanting "Don't run away from the wine". While filling up the glass for him ......

One after another came a few familiar faces, is the previous often a piece of skipping classes of the few. Seeing the two of them are not shocked and a "I grass", obviously everyone into society has not been so loud swearing for a long time.

......

The only one who reacted calmly was the woman who came in last. She wore a gray trench coat with a black turtleneck knit underneath, a lawman's style, and a bit of Englishness in her pretty eyebrows.

After taking off her glasses, Yu Fan didn't realize that she was Zhang Xianjing's usually quiet deskmate, Ke Ting, until she sat down next to him.

Only past half an hour, the original cold and quiet box is crowded with people, there are two can not sit down to stand at the table bent over to play dice with everyone, laughing and cursing, smoke.

The box was dimly lit, and not many people noticed how close Yu Fan and Chen Jingshen were to each other. The sofa was too crowded, so Yu Fan hung his arm lazily on Chen Jingshen's shoulder and hugged her, while Chen Jingshen leaned comfortably into her boyfriend's arm, tilting her head and chatting with Wu Cai.

In the background, Zhang Xianjing is pulling Ke Ting to sing "One Like Summer, One Like Autumn". Zhang Xianjing's voice is full of emotion and sweetly clipped, while Ke Ting sings calmly, staying in the same key from start to finish.

Yu Fan watched them play dice, and after a while he couldn't stand it anymore. He tugged on Zhu Xu's shirt, "Are you drunk? Are you drunk?

Zhu Xu smiled and said it was fine, tilting his head and muffling a mouthful of wine.

Zuo Kuan let out a "Ha", "Don't pay any attention to him, it's going to be one of those days soon, he just wants to drink."

"What day?" Yu Fan asked.

"The anniversary of his relationship with his ex - just that desk he had in high school, remember?"

"......"

How could he not remember that he had seen them kissing.

Wang Luan also remembered, "Why the ex? Didn't you guys agree to make up after graduation?"

"It's too far, she went abroad and said she didn't feel safe ...... haha." Zhu Xu gave a bitter laugh.

"What's the matter with that? The sky is the limit! Hey, not that I'm saying, bro, with your current body," Zuo Kuan patted his arm muscles, "are you still afraid of not being able to find a girlfriend!"

Zhu Xu joked, "I can't find it, when they hear I'm a fitness instructor, they all think I'm gay, where do I look like a gay?"

After hearing this, True Gay subconsciously wanted to withdraw the hand that was wrapped around the person, but just as he moved his fingers, he was yanked by Chen Jingshen, and in the end he didn't draw it back.

The atmosphere in the box is high, the wine is high, everyone's voice is also big, obviously everyone is more than twenty years old social animal, but at this moment is still like seventeen or eighteen years old as childish and flamboyant.

Yu Fan was sitting in the center of the crowd, listening to them curse and argue, feeling noisy and a little bit indescribably exuberant.

By the end of the day, almost everyone was a little bit drunk, and the one who was the most intoxicated was Zhang Xianjing, who was sitting on Yu Fan's other side of the table.

When she wasn't drunk she would be staggeringly drunk with people, but when she was drunk she was much softer and spoke like a pet.

"Play! Wang Luan! Play another game, I'm not drunk, how could I get drunk, beautiful women don't get drunk!" Zhang Xianjing couldn't sit still and was about to fall towards Yu Fan. Yu Fan was about to catch her, but his other hand pulled Zhang Xianjing back.

Zhang Xianjing lay on Ke Ting's shoulder, and she smelled the perfume on Ke Ting's body, a very light, cold-toned fragrance. She half-smiled and sniffed for a while, then heard Ke Ting say, "You're drunk, stop drinking."

"I'm not drunk oooh, Baby Ting." Zhang Xianjing loved the smell and simply reached out and hugged the man.

"......"

"But I'm a little dizzy," Zhang Xianjing raised his hand in a gesture, "a little, a little ...... Will you walk me out for some air?"

Ke Ting, obviously not having encountered such a situation for the first time, turned her head just in time to meet Yu Fan, who was looking at them.

Yu Fan: "Can I help you?"

"No." Ke Ting said, "Move over, please."

"What's wrong?" Feeling the head of the person beside him turn around after the two who went out, Chen Jingshen asked.

"No. I feel that Zhang Xianjing's deskmate's personality has changed a bit." Yu Fan casually responded, then wiggled his fingers and said, "Let go, I'm going to the restroom."

"I'll keep you company."

"?" Yu Fan inexplicably said, "Accompany me for what? Waiting for me to go to the restroom?"

Chen Jingshen was silent for two seconds and turned his head to look at him, "It's not no."

"......"

Yu Fan turned his head to meet his eyes, Chen Jingshen's eyes were very dark, especially bright in the dim environment. Yu Fan looked at him for a few seconds before he couldn't bear to look away, pulling out his hand to break his head back, "Don't use it. Don't be such a stalker, Chen Jingshen."

After leaving the restroom, Yu Fan was in no hurry to go back. There were a few friend verification messages on WeChat tonight that he didn't have time to look at, so he lowered his head and passed them one by one, heading towards the open-air balcony dedicated to this ktv.

Who knew that just as he reached the door, snow suddenly began to fall outside, and the freshly cleared tables and chairs were soon covered with a few more thin flakes of white.

Yu Fan tilted his head for two seconds, turned his head and was just about to leave--

"It's snowing." A cold and calm voice came from outside, "Go back."

"Then ...... wait, my head is still so dizzy. I now go back, Wang Luan, they will certainly find me drink, I do not drink and seem to be my wimpy, and then stand for a while, just a while." Zhang Xianjing dragged long voice said.

Yu Fan frowned and went to the door, poking his head out to glance to the side.

In the soft snow, Zhang Xianjing is lying on top of Ke Ting, looking very drunk, her head leaning on her shoulder. Ke Ting's back was against the wall, and he was holding her close with his trench coat.

Yu Fan threw his cell phone into his pocket, intending to go forward to give him a hand. Zhang Xianjing suddenly tilted his head up, his beautiful black hair scattered in the air.

"Baby Ting," she said, "It's so boring. ...... Let's pass the time? Same as before."

Ke Ting didn't say anything, Zhang Xianjing leaned over slowly with the strength of his drink, pressed his lips against Ke Ting's for a moment, and then stepped aside.

Yu Fan was stunned. Zhang Xianjing's wine taste has become like this now?

As the snow flurries, Yu Fan closes her gaze and silently covers the balcony door for them amidst the ghostly cries of the next box.

Yu Fan walked back a bit out of his mind, and just as he pushed open the door of the box, he heard Wang Luan yell from the stereo, "Coming! I'm back!"

Yu Fan's ears hurt and he frowned as he looked up to see Wang Luan and Zuo Kuan, who were already red in the face, walking towards him with their fists clenched.

Before being dragged away, Yu Fan glanced at Chen Jingshen next to him: "?"

"I sent you a message telling you to reply later, didn't you see it?" Chen Jingshen asked.

"No-" Where had he just been looking at his cell phone?

Chen Jingshen raised his eyebrows very lightly, indicating that that couldn't be helped.

Wang Luan and Zuo Kuan were already drunk and had no fear of Yu Fan, plus Yu Fan was skinny and didn't intend to struggle, so they easily dragged him to the TV.

Zuo Kuan waved his hand and shouted to Gao Shi, who was sitting in front of the jukebox, "Up!"

Gao Shi: "Come on!"

Before Yu Fan could react to what the group was up to, the song that was playing was cut off, followed by the sound of guitars and a new song appeared on the screen-

"Give me a hug, brother." Singer Pang Long.

"......"

Yu Fan turned his head and was about to leave.

Then Wu Cai and Gao Shi pulled him back.

Wang Luan grabbed the wheat, turned back an erkang hand, mournful and heavy to him sang: "Brother you thin, look tired ah! All the way wind and dust can not cover, the cheeks of the years ......"

Zuo Kuan emerges from behind him, takes him by the shoulders, and sings along, "Brother you've changed, you've become silent, say the things that are in your heart-"

Yu Fan struggles to get his legs up before being pressed back down in unison by all four men.

Wang Luan: "Brothers, our youth is the flower that grows in the bottom of our hearts and blossoms only after the wind and rain--"

"Brothers you said, won't spell it out later," Zuo Kuan turns back, palm spread out pointing at Chen Jingshen, "just want to be // love's fool, just want to settle down and have a home-- "

Chen Jingshen inclined his head away, and his shoulders began to shake lightly and heavily.

Yu Fan: "..............."

Before Yu Fan could see the look on Chen Jingshen's face, he was picked up by them, and Wang Luan and Zuo Kuan each took one of his arms and put it on their shoulders, and Yu Fan was forced to shake his head with them--

"Brother hug! Speak from your heart!"

"Speak of all the aggravations and vicissitudes of change that have befallen you over the years--"

Yu Fan got a headache from their shaking, and Wang Luan and Zuo Kuan sang and cried, even more bitterly than Zhu Xu's solo rendition of "Union of Lost Love Fronts" earlier.

"Brother hug! If you have tears, you can shed them!"

"Shedding all these years of deeply buried - bitterness and bitterness ......"

Yu Fan turned his head and saw Wang Luan and Zuo Kuan's faces wet, their cheeks already red beyond recognition, the veins between their necks bursting with singing.

The strength in Yu Fan's hand that he was just about to exert loosens again, and he's forced to bob his head along with them, his eyes burning red as he stares at the lyrics in front of him, his voice drowning out their song, "Dumbass ......"

"A brotherly hug! For the ties of the years!"

"For the raging waves that had rolled in my heart, for the years of youth that my buddies had walked side by side-"

"Let deeply buried words soothe those, long-lost tears ......"
