Oh, dear! Fish me again

Different situations require different means.

Those who have enough ability will carry out the liquidation in a grand manner, and those who are not capable enough have their own ways.

Zhang Li sat in the dark room with the takeaway bag from lunch in front of him.

The seal of the bag was still intact, but the care contained was enough to feed him.

He picked up his phone and called Ming Ruoxi.

"Ruoxi, I've thought about your proposal at noon and decided to agree...

So, can you come to the bar where I work?

I'm waiting for you."

*

In Ming Ruoxi's heart, Zhang Li is the bright spring sunshine, pure and white.

Even if something unpleasant happened between them during the day, Zhang Li was such a gentle person that he would never do anything to hurt her.

So she went to the bar alone and found Zhang Li at the bar.

The bartender's uniform was extremely tight-fitting. The young man lowered his head in concentration. He skillfully turned the silver Boston shaker in his hand a few times and slowly poured the golden liquid into the glass.

He raised his eyes to look at Ming Ruoxi and gave her his signature smile.

Ming Ruoxi's heart beat fast, thinking about Zhang Li agreeing to go abroad with her, thinking about having such a perfect him...

Her face was as red as a rosy blossom.

Zhang Li came out from the bar and took off the work apron around his waist.

"It's noisy here, shall we talk somewhere else?"

Ming Ruoxi nodded immediately, "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

*

Zhang Li took Ming Ruoxi out of the back door of the bar and walked through several alleys that looked similar.

It was just as dirty and cramped, with thugs squatting in the corners smoking similar cheap cigarettes.

"Zhang Li, where are you taking me..." Ming Ruoxi asked nervously.

Zhang Li looked ahead and replied calmly,

"Just showing you where I grew up."

Ming Ruoxi curled her lips and said nothing.

They walked in silence all the way to the Sanjian staff housing compound and reached the third floor.

Zhang Li opened the door and Ming Ruoxi was standing at the door with a stiff face.

This stiffness came from the disgust and resistance deep in her bones, but because she knew clearly that she didn't need to stay in such a place for long, she could barely endure it.

Zhang Li reached out and pushed her into the door, then walked in himself and turned around to lock the door.

*

"Zhang Li..."

Zhang Li ignored her, walked through the empty living room and came to the door of the locked room.

Found the key and opened the door.

"Ruoxi, what do you like about me?" he asked with his back to her.

Ming Ruoxi looked at Zhang Li, who seemed a little unfamiliar in front of her, and was speechless for a moment.

Zhang Li lowered his head and smiled, whispering as if talking to himself,

“If you like someone, even if you only have a little bit of sincerity, you will try to enter her world and want to understand everything about her.”

"You've been in the same class with me for two years. Have you ever cared about anything other than my face?"

"To you, I am just a perfect existence that can satisfy your vanity, and you are confident and determined to win."

"After all, I'm poor, and after all, you can only give me so much, right?"

"I never rejected you because of Tang Shu."

"Even if she was trying to get close to me, at least she was willing to come into my world... willing to accept everything about me..."

"Compared to her, you.....ha..."

*

Ming Ruoxi frowned. She didn't know why Zhang Li said this.

Zhang Li suddenly strode over, pulled her roughly, and entered the dark room.

He turned on the light.

"what!!!!"

Ming Ruoxi screamed because right in front of her was a black and white portrait of an old man.

"Are you scared? It's my adoptive father. I was also scared of him before..."

Zhang Li stood behind her, blocking the door, with a gloomy and cold expression on his face that she had never seen before.

"So I changed his insulin....I locked the door while I waited for him....I was fifteen or sixteen that year? Anyway, I had just been admitted to No. 1 Middle School."

Ming Ruoxi's face turned pale and she asked tremblingly,

"Zhang Zhang Li, what are you talking about..."

"Don't you understand?"

Zhang Li moved closer and smiled softly.

"I mean...his death was not an accident."

"This... is the real me, Ruoxi, do you still like me?"

*

"what!!"

Ming Ruoxi fell to the ground in fright.

Zhang Li ignored her and took out a lighter from his work clothes and lit the cigarette in front of her.

Throw it into the nearest cardboard box.

The open flame suddenly jumped up, making a sound that made your scalp tingle.

It was not until this moment that Ming Ruoxi realized that something was wrong. There was a very pungent smell in the air.

It smelled exactly the same as the can of gasoline she had used to tease Tang Shu at noon.

What's not clear at this point?

Zhang Li was lying to her! He was simply seeking revenge for Tang Shu.

Anger instantly overcame fear, and Ming Ruoxi shouted loudly,

"Zhang Li, are you crazy? If something happens to me, can you afford to pay for it? Don't you want to go to school? Don't you want to graduate? "

"Ha~"

Zhang Li smiled and did not answer Ming Ruoxi's questions and threats.

He looked down at her and spoke slowly.

"Miss Ming, there are no fire prevention measures in a shabby place like mine~"

"Just come with me and enjoy it."

The young man in front of him looked like a ghost, his colorful features illuminated by the firelight.

He finally took off all his disguises and finally made up his mind to be his true self.

The narrow room was instantly engulfed by the fire soaked in gasoline. Ming Ruoxi felt her hair begin to emit a burnt smell. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

.....

*

The noisy open space in the family compound was occupied by fire trucks and ambulances.

The water column sprayed to the third floor, and the unconscious Ming Ruoxi was carried into the ambulance on a stretcher, but fortunately, she was not seriously injured.

Zhang Li was wearing a snow-white wet towel and water was dripping from the ends of her hair.

He stood at the gate of the community and watched the fire truck drive away with "concern".

Then he threw away the towel, turned around and walked into the dark alley.

He took out his backpack that had been packed long ago from the bar and called Tang Shu's home.

"Zhang Li, are you looking for me?"

"Shushu, I can't go to Haitang Island with you guys tomorrow. I hope you have fun."

The girl on the other end of the phone paused and responded softly.

"it is good."

Then she said, "Zhang Li, eat well and don't go too far. I'm afraid I can't find you."

"Oh," he raised his head and laughed, "I see."

"Zhang Li, do you still like me?"

"like."

"Then when you feel lonely, you must come back to me."

"Okay, definitely."

*

It’s just that the bright moon is too beautiful. Even a despicable person like me can’t help but want to get closer to it.

When I got close, I felt it was far from enough and I even wanted to possess it.

Zhang Li hung up the phone and looked up at the moon in the sky.

Studying is a slow path...

Shushu, wait for me.
