Chapter 36 Self-defeating

When I was having a meal, I was still a little divine, and my thoughts had already floated out of the sky. So when facing my favorite mushroom beef bun, it tasted like a waxy.

The big guy ate with relish, and from time to time he discussed with Xiao Zhong what stuffed buns were delicious. I symbolically stuffed something into my mouth, and then picked up a bowl of porridge and drank silently.

"Bigou, what's wrong? Look at your melancholy look." Xiao Zhong glanced at me accidentally and asked with concern.

The big man also looked up at me. I shook my head gently and said, "The saint said: Don't eat or speak, and don't sleep. Don't you two know?"

As soon as I finished speaking, the big guy scolded him: "Sage is a big deal, don't pretend. You are not qualified to say this at all. When did you do this? Every time you talk to me in a sleep, it shocked the labor and capital. What happened? Tell me, let my brothers help you think of a solution. The three cobblers are even more worthy of Zhuge Liang, not to mention that the three of us are all Zhuge Liang."

Xiao Zhong couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said, "Forget it for three Zhuge Liangs, at least you don't look like you."

I nodded in agreement, but the big man narrowed his eyes. I could see a cold light burst out from the crack and asked, "Xiao Zhong, are the buns delicious?"

"It's delicious."

"Then why can't you block your mouth?"

"Okay, I won't talk when you two talk." Xiao Zhong quickly stopped and completely surrendered to the power of the big man, but his eyes would still glance at me from time to time.

The big man took a sip of porridge and asked, "What happened?"

Looking at the concerned expressions of both of them, I was sincerely happy, but I didn't know where my inexplicable troubles came from now on. I just thought of these things that happened recently and felt a headache. I put down the bowl, took out a tissue, wiped my mouth gently and said, "What else can it be? I'm so worried. Old Liu personally arranged it, which means I have to live under his nose for a week."

Xiao Zhong looked at me suspiciously, picked up the bowl of porridge and went to drink. The big man was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said, "Old Liu is actually quite good, but he is a little stricter. We can rest assured if we have him staring at you."

After all, I fooled it, and I pretended to be relaxed and said, "I figured it out, what a big deal. Eat quickly and go out for a day today."

"Just play, go back to draw pictures after eating, and I'll stare at you." The big guy decisively rejected me.

"Do you want to do this? I'll treat you to breakfast at least." I said with tears in my heart.

The big man said expressionlessly: "This is the compensation for our staying up late last night with you."

I subconsciously looked around and found that there was no suitable "weapon". I stared at me and said, "You have the nerve to say last night? Who was with whom last night? You ate it so much, and only Xiao Zhong came back poured me one... I thought about it and felt angry when I thought about it." The more I thought about it, the more angry I was. These guys did not do personnel matters last night.

"Buzz...buzz..." Some sharp vibrating sounds of cell phones came, and I frowned and looked at the big guy. For some reason, I always had a natural sense of resistance to such sounds.

The big guy spread his hands and said that it was not his cell phone. Our eyes gathered on Xiao Zhong again. Xiao Zhong seemed to be in a daze just now and did not react for a while.

"Xiao Zhong, your phone." The big guy reminded.

"Ah? Oh~~" Xiao Zhong then realized that he hurriedly took out his phone. However, when he looked at the screen of the phone, his expression fluctuated slightly, and then he hung up the phone. Seeing his reaction, I was a little curious and couldn't help asking, "Whose phone number?"

"I guess I've called the wrong number, an unfamiliar number." Xiao Zhong replied perfunctorily.

Seeing that he was unwilling to say it, I didn't force it anymore. I looked back at the big guy and found that he was also looking at Xiao Zhong, but the expression on his face was a little doubtful.

...

"Big Head, big guy, you two will go back first. My parents are here, I'll go to the train station to pick it up." Xiao Zhong said in a hurry as soon as he came out of the store.

"Ah? Uncle and aunt are here? Do you want help?" the big man asked him.

"No need, I'll do it alone. Go back and stare at Big Head and draw pictures. Fatty is unreliable." As soon as Xiao Zhong finished speaking, he was already walking towards the bus stop.

"Be careful, call at any time if you need it." I shouted at him.

"Ah~~"

...

The big guy and I were wandering leisurely on the school's boulevard again. The sun was the most comfortable now, but if there was no obstruction, it would be a little unbearable to shine directly on the skin. Close your eyes and feel the natural atmosphere to the fullest. After all, there are really not many opportunities like this.

Thinking of this, the inexplicable sadness filled my heart again. Forget it, I don’t think about this anymore.

"Bigou, do you think Xiao Zhong's reaction was wrong just now?"

"What's the use of feeling that something is wrong? You don't know his personality. You won't say anything you don't want to say, but it will affect our relationship." I sighed lightly and replied.

The big man nodded slightly and said, "Since the last time Yang Yun happened, I feel that Xiao Zhong has been different from before."

"Didn't he just say that his parents are here? Maybe I'm embarrassed to bother us." I tried to come up with a reason to convince myself.

The big guy thought about it and said with a smile: "That's right. He really doesn't like to bother others."

Looking back on the changes in Xiao Zhong recently, I nodded in agreement. Although Xiao Zhong used to be mostly silent, his expression always gives people a very calm feeling. However, Xiao Zhong always stays alone in a place and occasionally shows an incomprehensible expression.

Thinking of what he promised my mother in the morning, he said to the big guy: "You go back first, I'll call my dad."

"Well, remember to come back and draw pictures." He didn't forget to turn around and remind me.

I couldn't help but laugh and scolded, "Get out, I'll be back after the phone call."

...

He trotted to the bench under the tree and sat down, starting to search for the call record with his dad on his phone. After sliding the screen for a long time, he finally found the number in his impression and the notes next to him (Lao Yun). Looking at the date, it was three months ago.

I coughed twice to keep my throat in the best condition and deal with the next phone call.

The phone was quickly connected, and my father's familiar voice came from the other end: "Hey, who?"

I felt the corners of my mouth twitching. Could it be that he couldn't even recognize my number? He said angrily: "I am your son..."

The other end of the phone fell into a brief silence. I didn't and didn't say anything anymore, just waited quietly. After a long time, another voice came from the other end of the phone: "Oh~~ Wuxiu, is there anything wrong with calling?" I obviously felt that he was pretending to be calm, and the joy hidden in it had betrayed his mood at this moment.

I couldn't help but want to tease the serious father, so I replied with a smile: "I heard from my mother that you miss me, but I'm embarrassed to call me, so I'll call you."

I don't know what my dad on the other end of the phone looked like when he heard this, because I've never seen him look embarrassed.

"You kid, your mother has never been accurate in speaking. Why do you believe her?"

I tried to imagine what my father looked like at this moment, and shook his head with some regret. I really couldn't imagine the awkward appearance of the serious father. I said, "Hey, let's not talk about this anymore. My mother said you are very busy with work recently, so you should pay attention to rest."

"Oh, your mother always likes to speak with some exaggeration. What about you, are you busy these days?"

"It's not too busy, I just draw pictures every day."

"That's good, take care of yourself when you go out."

"Well, don't worry."

"Okay, I'm here, I'll hang up first." Before I could reply, the "beep" sound of hanging up came. I was still not busy, and I couldn't even spend a weekend leisurely. Every time I called my dad, I didn't seem to have much to talk about, and I would fall into silence after the routine greetings were over.

Later, my dad may have noticed this issue. Every time after the greetings, he would find a reason to quickly hang up the phone, and I would stare at the hung up interface for a while.

The same is true today. I feel like my mind is in chaos, I can't see the past clearly, nor can I see the future.

...

A refreshing fragrance came into my nose, and then I couldn't see anything. What blinded my eyes?

"Guess who I am?"

Close my eyes, the cold touch kept stirring my hot heart. Although the sound changed a little, the familiar fragrance immediately made me judge who was.

But when he thought that he could finally get something to relieve his boredom, he didn't plan to expose her immediately. So he asked tentatively: "Lin Yiyi?"

"No! Guess again!" The voice sounded a little proud, and a trace of curve appeared on the corner of my mouth.

In order to make her happier, then guess a few more, and said, "That's... Li Yue?"

"No, right, guess again!"

I vaguely felt a hint of resentment from it. Maybe Nie Xinyan was resisting the name Li Yue, so she guessed again: "It's not Lin Yao, right?"

Unexpectedly, she didn't ask me to guess again this time, and asked me, "Who is Lin Yao?"

"Lin Yao is...oh? No, isn't it me guessing? Why did you ask me?"

"Tell me who Lin Yao is first?"

Seeing that she had no intention of relaxing, I told her about the process of getting to know Lin Yao. After listening, there was a silence, and the hands that covered my eyes were also put down.

The first scene I saw when I opened my eyes was Nie Xinyan’s slightly red eyes, and the crystal clearness at the corners of her eyes was so dazzling.

"You...even Li Yue's best friend can think of it, but can't you just think of me?" Her voice was a little choked.

I looked at her in a daze, and suddenly realized that there might be some deviation in our thoughts. My self-righteousness has backfired.
