smile before we meet

In the evening, the clouds spread out layer upon layer in the sky, someone came with the sunset glow, lowered his head slightly, and walked very slowly.

When passing by the alley, he heard a strange sound, as if something had been smashed against the wall.Frowning slightly, he turned his head to look over.

It's a dead end.

There were four tall and burly youths blocking people in the alley. This scene was like those nightmares that entangled him at night, and he broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

The leading young man looked at him, the fury between his brows had not faded, and his eyes were indifferent.

It was only then that Zhou Qiang saw the person who was pressed against the wall by the collar. His face was bruised and his eyes were swollen. If he hadn't bumped into him...

Zhou Qiang didn't dare to think about it anymore, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, took pictures and said loudly: "Stop, me, I'm calling the police."

He was so nervous and scared that his voice trembled when he spoke.

The young man in the lead let go of the man in his hand and took a step back.

Obviously didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

He was looking at Zhou Qiang.

Zhou Qiang is not tall, not good-looking, and he doesn't look very old.Carrying a black backpack, with green and clean eyebrows and eyes, he looks like a high school student, but there are no high schools nearby, only two universities.

Normal freshman.He thought to himself, he couldn't lift his hands on his shoulders, and even the sound of the alarm was shaking, so he didn't look like someone from their police academy.

But it's very interesting, obviously frightened to death, but still insist on getting ahead.

He asked Zhou Qiang, "What's your name?"

Chang Qing, who was beaten up, walked out with his head shrunk. He saw it, but didn't say anything.

He just looked at Zhou Qiang quietly, his hostility dissipated, and his eyes were clear.

"Are you okay?" Zhou Qiang ignored him, reached out to support Chang Qing, and asked, "Do you need me to take you to the hospital?"

"No, no need." Chang Qing didn't dare to look back, just broke away from Zhou Qiang, and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and go."

Zhou Qiang frowned in disapproval, and wanted to say something, but Chang Qing had already run away, running very fast, and he didn't seem to be in trouble at all.

Qin Louyue couldn't help laughing.

They hadn't done anything serious in the first place, and the injuries on their faces were intended to teach Chang Qing a lesson, it only looked serious.

"Student, we are also staying together, and he has already run away." Wei Yang, who is the most handsome and the least aggressive of the four, asked, "Can we discuss it and delete the photo?"

Zhou Qiang clenched the phone: "How do I know if you will bother him again?"

The young man in charge had a bad temper. Hearing what Zhou Qiang said, he sneered, "Trouble him?" He squeezed his fingers, and said in a cold tone, "Why don't you ask him what he did?"

"Even if he did something bad, you can't hit someone." Zhou Qiang retorted, "It's wrong to bully the few with more, and to control violence with violence."

The young man didn't argue with him, so Zhou Qiang softened his tone a little and asked, "Did he do anything bad?"

"Personal grievances." Fang Wei'an, who stood silently at the back, said, "He slept with my girlfriend."

Zhou Qiang's eyes widened slightly, and his lips moved, with surprise, bewilderment and guilt on his face.

"I'm sorry..."

He didn't mean to bring up his grief.

"As long as he doesn't mess with me, we won't trouble him anymore." Fang Wei'an said indifferently, and didn't want to say more, "My roommates are just helping me out, can the photos be deleted?"

Zhou Qiang bowed his head, deleted the photo, and answered the previous question.

He said, "My name is Zhou Qiang."

The person who asked his name looked at him and asked, "Where is it strong?"

Zhou Qiang was fierce, emphasizing: "Masts lined with masts!"

Few people dared to speak so fiercely to him. He looked into Zhou Qiang's eyes and smiled: "My name is Du Mengxian."

……

The next day, Zhou Qiang met Du Mengxian again.

And it's in my own school.

There is only one road between Z Normal School and the Police Academy. Go out from the north gate of Z Normal School, cross a bridge, and you will find the Police Academy. The sports field of Z Normal School is next to the north gate. Students from the Police Academy often come to run with heavy loads.

The reason, of course, is not that there are not enough playgrounds at home, but that the police academy is almost equal to the temple of monks. Going for a run at the Normal University next door to see beautiful girls has become the only source of happiness for the police academy students.

Du Mengxian probably just finished running, with sandbags tied to his legs, washing his hands and face at the faucet outside the canteen.The bangs on his forehead were wet, whether it was sweat or when he washed his face, large drops of water flowed down his cheeks, and he wiped them off casually, and his T-shirt was also wet with sweat, making him look a bit embarrassed.

Others come to the normal school to see girls, but he comes to the normal school to really run.

Zhou Qiang wanted to pretend he didn't see him, but Du Mengxian stopped him.

"Zhou Qiang." Du Mengxian was very happy to see him, squinting his eyes and smiling, he didn't look as cruel as when we first met, but he was tall, his face was pretty, but he was a bit ruffian , making people feel that he is not a good person.

Zhou Qiang couldn't hide, so he smiled politely and said "Yes".

Du Mengxian didn't seem to notice his estrangement, or didn't seem to notice his estrangement, so he walked over and put his arms around his shoulders, not treating himself as an outsider at all: "Did you bring a meal card?"

"I want to drink the red bean paste from your school."

Du Mengxian had just washed his hands, but half of his arm was put on his shoulder, which seemed close, but not intimate, and the two of them had no other physical contact, which was still within Zhou Qiang's acceptable range.

But he didn't like it, so he was a little unhappy, and the corners of his mouth drooped slightly.

For a long time, he has been particularly disgusted with physical contact, and he doesn't like to talk. There are very few things that can make him happy and angry. The only emotion is numb depression.Although it has been a long time, he knows that he has not come out yet, so he deliberately distances himself from others.

But Du Mengxian seemed to be able to easily arouse his mood swings, Zhou Qiang frowned slightly, pushed away Du Mengxian's hand and walked to the canteen: "I'll buy it for you."

After buying the red bean paste, Zhou Qiang saw Wei Yang, Fang Wei'an, Qin Louyue, and the mung bean paste in their hands.

Wei Yang held two cups in his hand, and greeted him shaking: "Zhou Qiang? What a coincidence!"

Zhou Qiang felt that he had been tricked.

Obviously I came with my roommate, and I obviously had mung bean paste to drink, so I asked him to buy red bean paste.

Oh man.

He threw red bean paste to Du Mengxian, pursed his lips and said, "I'm going to class."

"Damn it." Qin Louyue first saw clearly that Zhou Qiang threw red bean paste to Du Mengxian, and he was in a bad mood, "You asked Zhou Qiang to buy red bean paste for you?!"

Wei Yang also said "Fuck", "Zhou Qiang still bought it?!"

No wonder Du Mengxian suddenly said that he would not drink mung bean paste for him.

Fang Wei'an didn't say "Damn it", but twitched the corners of his mouth, his usually expressionless face was rarely full of expression: "Is this going to work?"

"He probably doesn't know." Du Meng smiled and inserted the straw |in|in|, and took a sip of the red bean paste, "Don't you think he's interesting?"

When he saw them cleaning up Chang Qing yesterday, he could see how scared Zhou Qiang was, but instead of running away, Zhou Qiang stood up stupidly. wrong".

It is indeed wrong to use violence to control violence, not to mention that they are still students of the police academy.

After all, what happened to Fang Wei'an was just a relationship between a scumbag and a scumbag. Chang Qing didn't break the law. They couldn't get angry, so they could only beat Chang Qing to vent their anger.

Just now, he could also see that Zhou Qiang wanted to pretend that he didn't know him and leave, and he deliberately put Zhou Qiang on his shoulders. He himself felt that he was a little shameless, but Zhou Qiang, it was really interesting.

Wei Yang: "It's quite interesting."

Du Mengxian: "It's pretty cute."

Wei Yang: "..."

Qin Louyue sighed: "Comrade Du Mengxian, the organization thinks your ideas are dangerous."

Du Mengxian listened to his roommate's jokes, drank red bean paste, and smiled even more in his eyes.

If Zhou Qiang knew what red bean paste meant, would he be so angry that he wanted to fight him?

……

Du Mengxian went to Z Normal University for a run every day. At the beginning, he couldn't figure out Zhou Qiang's class schedule and the time of entering and leaving the dormitory. Qiang goes to tutoring classes every afternoon and returns to school around seven o'clock.

On the opposite side of the stadium of Z Normal University is the third canteen, the canteen is on the side, and the tree-lined road next to the canteen is Zhou Qiang's dormitory.

The way to go.

Du Mengxian ran into Zhou Qiang shamelessly almost every day and asked for a cup of red bean paste.

When it was raining, Du Meng didn't go for a run, so he ran into Zhou Qiang at the gate of Z Normal University, and dragged Zhou Qiang to eat together on the pretext that the cafeteria of his school was not good.

If there are too many times, even a fool should realize that something is wrong.Du Mengxian will not forget to bring money every day, and he meets him by such a coincidence every day... Zhou Qiang thought to himself, he must have done it on purpose.

But I can't figure out why.

The day before, he made up his mind to ignore Du Mengxian the next day and let him die of thirst, but seeing Du Mengxian's smile and seeing him sweating profusely after running, he relented and bought him red bean paste.

Back in the dormitory, Zhou Qiang took a glass of water to drink, thinking whether he should buy a water glass for Du Mengxian and bring it to him when he went out for tutoring classes. This man has been drinking red bean paste for a month, so he can't get used to it .

The roommate came back from the outside and saw that he was the only one in the dormitory, closed the door behind his back, and called him.

"Zhou Qiang." Qian Yuanbao suppressed his voice and said in a mysterious tone, "Honestly speaking, are you in a relationship?"

"Ah?" Zhou Qiang was stunned just as he recovered, "What did you say?"

"I've seen it all." Qian Yuanbao curled his lips, "Zhou Qiang, you are so mean."

"Huh? What did you see?"

"I saw a pair of dog-boys, you, me, you, me, Qingqing, me." Qian Yuanbao reminded him with a dazed expression, "Downstairs canteen."

Zhou Qiang reacted, a little dumbfounded: "You mean Du Mengxian?" He explained, "You misunderstood, we are just ordinary friends."

"It's a lie, it's fake, I don't believe it!" Qian Yuanbao was furious, he knew that Zhou Qiang was crooked, and he had clashed with him, so he always regarded Zhou Qiang as a good sister.He has a more eccentric personality, only Zhou Qiang doesn't find him annoying. Although Zhou Qiang doesn't talk much, he is very gentle. If he hadn't collided with Zhou Qiang, he would have wanted the rabbit to eat the grass by the side of the nest, and he would have had a month near the water tower. .

Zhou Qiang is usually too low-key, with almost zero sense of existence. He is not a close person, and he doesn't know how good he is. He thought that Zhou Qiang would be single for a long time, but he didn't expect how long after school started, so he talked about it behind his back in love!

Qian Yuanbao's tone was lost: "I saw that you bought him red bean paste."

"What's wrong with the red bean paste?" Zhou Qiang heard something was wrong, "Can't I buy it?"

Qian Yuanbao stared at him for a long time, sure that he really didn't know what red bean paste meant, and suddenly felt a little happy.

"You don't know." He dragged his stool to Zhou Qiang's side, sat down next to him, and made a gesture of wanting to give him a good science introduction, "Just don't people from the police academy often come to our school Are you here for a run? You say it’s a run, but you’re actually here to flirt with girls.”

"Those police academy students, when they see a girl they like and order directly, they will ask for their contact information as soon as they come up. If they are more subtle, they will ask if they can borrow a meal card to swipe red bean paste, and then add a WeChat transfer. "

"There are also girls who will go to the sports field to meet on purpose, and then give red bean paste to the person they like, just like giving water."

"Over time, red bean paste has become a well-known secret code in the two schools."

Qian Yuanbao said: "Don't you go to the school's post bar? The top post in the post bar is 'Don't buy red bean paste for others'. Every year, stupid freshmen are abducted by police students, causing boys in our school to leave the list. rate plummeted."

Zhou Qiang opened his mouth: "I really don't know."

But Du Mengxian must know.

What does Du Mengxian mean?like him?If you really like him, why don't you tell him directly?Zhou Qiang was a little angry and sad when he thought that Du Mengxian would deliberately wait for the red bean paste that lied to him at the canteen every time.

Does Du Mengxian think he is stupid?Think it's fun to lie to him like this?

For a month, Du Mengxian was like boiling a frog in warm water. From deliberately avoiding at the beginning, to gradually getting used to and accepting it, it is undeniable that he now regards Du Mengxian as a friend in his heart, but this friend, from the very beginning. Just plotting against him, getting close to him, and making him let go of his defenses made him feel a little chilled.

Qian Yuanbao originally exposed Du Mengxian with pleasure, but when he saw Zhou Qiang was sad, he felt that he had done something wrong.

He was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, when he heard Zhou Qiang ask him: "I remember, when school just started, you asked me to buy red bean paste for you."

Qian Yuanbao himself forgot about this, and belatedly recalled that he also deliberately tricked Zhou Qiang into buying red bean paste, and swallowed nervously: "I..."

He lowered his head and said dryly, "I'm sorry."

"I should have told you."

He was selfish, so he didn't tell Zhou Qiang after seeing the post, and even tricked Zhou Qiang into buying red bean paste for him. At that time, he just thought it was interesting and fun. Now think about it, what is the difference between him and Du Mengxian.

Zhou Qiang said "it doesn't matter", it really doesn't matter.

He wasn't angry, but was silent for a while, and then said: "Yuan Bao, I regard you as a good friend, so there should be no next time."

Qian Yuanbao knew what he meant, and showed a relaxed smile: "I also regard you as a good friend."

That night, Zhou Qiang suffered from insomnia.

Wechat is full of messages from Du Mengxian, about what he had for dinner, who did something stupid in the dormitory... The last one stopped at a few minutes past midnight, two words, good night.

Zhou Qiang flipped through the chat records, and found that Du Mengxian's thoughts were actually very obvious. He was too slow to notice it.

For example, a few days ago, he had a nightmare and woke up in the middle of the night. He sent him a wechat message by accident, and then received a call.

Wechat call, after two in the morning, all the roommates were asleep, he didn't dare to make a sound, so he just typed, Du Mengxian talked to him warmly on the other end of the phone, and didn't hang up until he fell asleep.The next day Wei Yang complained to him, saying that Du Mengxian stayed up late at night and was on the phone on the balcony, which scared him half to death when he got up at night.

And yesterday, on the way back to school, he chatted with Du Mengxian, saying that he didn't know if it was his own illusion. He always felt that someone was following him these two days. There are few people and secluded, and it is really not safe to go alone.

Not unimpressed, but he refused.

Du Mengxian has a bad temper, but Du Mengxian has never been really angry with him, and he has never even said a serious word to him. He just likes to tease him, and every time he makes him angry with bad words I came to coax him angrily, but I didn't know what to try.

Have fun.

Zhou Qiang closed his eyes and drove out all the messy thoughts in his head.

He thought, let's make it clear tomorrow.

He and Du Mengxian are not suitable.

……

This day was no different from usual, but the students asked him two more questions, so Zhou Qiang left a little later.

Click on WeChat, see Du Mengxian's message more than ten minutes ago, and ask him if get out of class is over.

The student in his class, because of mild autism, withdrawn personality, and great social barriers, has been suspended from school at home.Although the child doesn't want to be in contact with others, the parents still hire tutors. They teach Chinese in the first and third grades, math in the second and fourth grades, English on Fridays, and rest on weekends. The salary is very high. Before Zhou Qiang, several tutors were Couldn't hold on.

Also because of Zhou Qiang's persistence, this student has already had some exchanges with him, and today he took the initiative to ask him two questions, which made Zhou Qiang very happy. On the way back to school, there was a smile on his face. I want to share this good news with Du Mengxian.

As soon as he typed two words, he remembered that he was still angry with Du Mengxian, so he deleted it and put the phone away.

In all likelihood, Du Mengxian is still in his school, so let him wait.

Today, he didn't feel that anyone was following him. He thought that he must have had an illusion a few days ago, and walked very easily along the way, until he was stopped by someone in the alley.

The voice sounded familiar, but the tone was extremely harsh, gnashing teeth, as if he had a grudge against him.

Zhou Qiang Xunsheng looked over, his pupils shrinking slightly.

Still that dead end.

Several gangster-looking men stood or squatted idle with sticks in their hands, as if they had been waiting for him for a long time, while the leader, with a cropped beard and a gloomy face, threw the cigarette in his mouth On the ground, stepped on a foot.

Ren Yu.

Zhou Qiang's face turned pale, and he ran away.

Ren Xun's complexion was even worse. He was always conceited and arrogant. He had to show great fanfare to find a place to fight. After stepping on the spot for a few days, he deliberately waited here to clean up Zhou Qiang. He didn't expect Zhou Qiang to be so courageous after seeing him for so long. Hit face to face and run.

Runs pretty fast.

Someone nearby called "Brother Ren" and asked, "Are you chasing me?"

"Chase." Ren Yun couldn't hold back his face, and his tone became aggressive, "What the hell are you standing there for?"

Another whispered: "It will save trouble if you put a sack and drag people into the alley."

"...Shut up, you, use money to do things, don't mess with this ancestor."

Seeing Ren Xun again, Zhou Qiang was actually not surprised.

Or to be mentally prepared.

Teacher Xie told him that Ren Xun was sent in, but he knew that Ren Xun would come out one day, and with Ren Xun's temperament, he would not let him go easily.

It's just that he didn't expect that Ren Xun found him when he had been peacefully and peacefully for so long and thought everything was starting again.

He ran fast, with the wind whistling in his ears, and only one thought remained in his mind.

Du Mengxian is still waiting for him.

Ren Xuan and the others caught up. At the corner of the alley, Zhou Qiang looked back.He walked the alley way countless times, without hitting the wall with his eyes closed, but he didn't see someone coming towards him at the corner—so he was caught off guard and bumped into it.

Affected by inertia, the man took two or three steps back to stabilize his figure, while Zhou Qiang was hugged in his arms.

"Zhou Qiang?" Du Mengxian was upset at first, but when he was hit by someone like this, his stomach full of anger exploded in minutes. He was about to swear, but when he saw that the person who hit him was Zhou Qiang, the swear words came to his lips, abruptly Press it down, and the fire is extinguished.

Zhou Qiang was stunned for a second, then grabbed his hand, before he could explain, he raised his voice and said, "Run."

This elopement posture made Du Mengxian dumbfounded, he pulled him back into his arms, and said with a smile: "Why are you running?"

Ren Xuan and the others chased after him, ran across the corner, and saw Zhou Qiang stop, and another person appeared from nowhere, and stood vigilantly a few steps away, without rushing forward.

Only then did Du Mengxian realize what Zhou Qiang was running.

Thinking of Zhou Qiang saying that someone seemed to be following him these few days, his face darkened.

"Xian...Brother Xian." There was a tall man with flowery arms among the gangsters, and when he saw Du Mengxian, he took a step back timidly.

The other gangsters also recognized Du Mengxian, and those who didn't recognize him also explained in a low voice. The gangsters knew that they couldn't be provoked and didn't dare to provoke them, so they all backed away, leaving Ren Yun standing in front alone, looking outstanding from the crowd.

Du Mengxian smiled, "What are you doing, running to exercise?"

Sensing Zhou Qiang's hand loosening his wrist, Du Mengxian lowered his head and glanced at him, explaining: "A few hooligans once made a disturbance in the night market to collect protection money, and I caught them. pause."

He was only a freshman at that time, and he didn't know that the sky was so high and the earth was very thick, his temper was aggressive, and his attacks were not serious. Later, these little gangsters came out and found a group of brothers to trouble him, but he and his roommate beat him up .He and his roommate were defending themselves, and a few gangsters deliberately sought revenge and caused trouble, but Wei Yang used a small knife on his arm to send him into the prison again.

From then on, this group of gangsters took a detour when they met him, and never dared to provoke him again.

Probably because I lived in comfort for a long time, the scars healed and I forgot the pain, and I went back to my old job and started a job as a street gangster.

He patted Zhou Qiang's back comfortingly, pulled him behind him, and then looked up at Ren Xun.

Someone was persuading Ren Yu, saying: "Forget it, we can't afford to mess with Du Mengxian."

Ren Xuan's eyes were filled with hatred and contempt, and he glanced over, "I'll double the price."

"Brother Ren..." Hua Bi smiled apologetically, "Even if you multiply by ten times, we dare not provoke Du Mengxian."

The group of people in the police station defended Du Mengxian and the others blindly. If they really did something today, Du Mengxian would be able to send them to the police station tomorrow.What's more, Du Mengxian is ruthless in attack and good in skill. In a real fight, even if there are many of them, they can't get anything good.

Someone has already thrown the stick in his hand, no matter how Ren Xun scolds them and how he threatens and lures them, it will look like we are here to run and exercise.

Ren Xuan has been arrogant for so many years, and has never been so ashamed.

And Zhou Qiang was hiding behind Du Mengxian, and the group of gangsters who were vicious just now were shrinking their heads like a mouse seeing a cat. The scene was so funny that he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This laughter fell into Ren Yun's ears, and it became a mockery.

Almost insane, he picked up a stick and threw it at Du Mengxian.

Du Mengxian could hide, but he was protecting Zhou Qiang, so he didn't hide, but raised his hand to block it, and then kicked Ren Xun in the chest.

I don't know if it was because he used a little too much force, or because Ren Xun was too irresistible to be beaten, he kicked him flying, and fell to the ground, in a state of embarrassment.

Du Mengxian kept Zhou Qiang's words in mind, so he calmly took out his phone to take a photo and call the police.

The punks panicked: "Brother Xian..."

"Brother Xian, we didn't do anything."

"Brother Xian, hold your hand high."

"Brother Xian."

"Brother Xian..."

Talking all over the place, the quarrel gave Du Mengxian a headache.

"Shut up." Du Mengxian frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Since you didn't do anything, what are you afraid of?"

He folded up his sleeves, revealing the red marks on his arms: "You have seen it, who smashed it?"

Everyone was as quiet as a chicken and pointed at Ren Xun.

"Intentional injury." Du Mengxian put down his sleeves and said slowly, "Article 230 of the "Criminal Law", whoever intentionally injures the body of another person shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or surveillance."

He glanced at the others, and showed a not-so-gentle smile: "You are all witnesses, do you know what to say in the transcript later?"

The tall man with flower arms gritted his teeth: "Tell the truth."

What Du Mengxian meant was to ask them to explain what Ren Xun hired them to do with money. The severity of the plot was all up to them.But if they said something serious, they themselves would be involved in it, and if they said it lightly, they would offend Ren Xun, and Du Mengxian would be dissatisfied... No matter what they said, they would offend Ren Xun, but Du Mengxian and the others really couldn't afford it. So just tell the truth.

Ren Xuan cursed "Damn" in a low voice, wanted to run, but was stopped by the punks, you pushed, I pulled, the clothes were pulled and damaged, and fell to the ground in even more embarrassment.

Zhou Qiang slightly raised his head to look at Du Mengxian, and felt that Du Mengxian was very much like the unrivaled hero who came on the clouds of seven colors in the novel. peace of mind.

His eyes were slightly curved, and he called out "Brother Xian" in a low voice.

Du Mengxian pulled him into his arms from behind, and pinched his face affectionately: "Zao narrow ghost."

The intimacy between the two fell in Ren Xun's eyes, and Ren Xun couldn't help laughing out loud, even a little crazy: "Zhou Qiang, you really are a fucking bastard."

"There will be a next home so soon."

"You forgot so quickly." Ren Xuan paused every word, and spoke extremely slowly, "You knelt in front of me and inserted|inserted|self| yourself, and gave yourself|intestines, and your whole body was soaked."

"I really regret not having sex with you that day."

Thinking of that thunderstorm night, Zhou Qiang's body trembled uncontrollably. Every time Ren Xun said a word, his face turned pale and his chest heaved greatly. He was short of breath, rushed to Ren Xun, raised his foot Kicked Ren Xun.

"Ren Xun, you pervert, scum, why don't you die." He was really mad, so angry that he lost his mind, so angry that he couldn't choose what to say.

In those nights when he dreamed back at midnight, when he was tossing and turning, he hoped that Ren Xun would die, countless times, he hoped that Ren Xun would die.

He even wanted to die himself.

"why?"

Ren Xuan just tore open his scar word by word, sprinkled salt on it, and roasted it with a blazing fire, which ruined him at first, and now ruined his peaceful life.

"Ren Xun, tell me why, why am I sorry for you?" Zhou Qiang growled, punching and kicking, his face was covered with tears at some point.

why?

Ren Xuan lost his mind for a moment.

The fist that hit him caused him to curl up in pain, and he was wondering why, but he forgot.At first, he seemed to just think that Zhou Qiang was interesting. He wanted to know if Zhou Qiang, who was gentle and good-tempered, would get angry, would he curse at others, would he fight back when he was bullied...

In other words, he couldn't understand Zhou Qiang's cowardly and temperless appearance.

Bullying is addictive.

What's more, he was used to lawlessness until he got into trouble.

From the beginning to the end, Zhou Qiang never resisted him, but today, when he finally saw Zhou Qiang abandon all his reason and good temper, he even wanted to laugh a little.

So he smiled, the kind of mocking smile with pleasure: "There is no reason."

He swallowed the rusty taste in his mouth, held Zhou Qiang's wrist, and there was a frightening warmth in his eyes: "It's just a blame, you are gentle and kind to everyone, but you avoid me like a snake and a scorpion."

Zhou Qiang broke free from him, as if he had heard something terrible, and took several steps back, until he was hugged by Du Mengxian, he regained some sense of reason.

"Du Mengxian." Zhou Qiang grabbed Du Mengxian's arm and opened his mouth, "I..."

He suddenly didn't know what he wanted to say, what to say.What would Du Mengxian think of him?Do you think he is dirty?Do you feel sorry for him?

The panic in Zhou Qiang's eyes made Du Mengxian a little distressed. Thinking of what Ren Xun said just now, his eyes darkened slightly, filled with hostility. If it weren't for the sound of police sirens coming from far and near, and his sanity still remained, he would have destroyed Ren Xun's heart There is.

He hugged him into his arms, softened his tone, and said softly: "It's all over."

"Don't be afraid."

The police quickly copied Ren Xun and a group of gangsters into the police car, and Du Mengxian and Zhou Qiang followed them back to the police station to make notes.

Because Zhou Qiang was not emotionally stable, Du Mengxian was by his side when taking notes.Zhou Qiang told what happened, and Li Yan, who took the notes, glanced at Du Mengxian: "What are you doing in the alley?"

If it wasn't for Ren Xun's criminal record and being beaten so badly, he would have suspected that Du Mengxian had found a group of gangsters to play a heroic rescue.

Du Meng gave him a blank look, and was rude to his senior: "Your girlfriend won't come home when it's time, so why don't you go find someone?"

This metaphor is not appropriate at all, Zhou Qiang pinched him under the table, Du Mengxian hissed, held Zhou Qiang's hand, and re-explained politely: "He used to arrive at school around seven o'clock. Yes, and he will send me messages after class is over, not only did he not send me messages today, but he did not reply to my messages, I couldn't wait for anyone downstairs in his dormitory, and I was worried that something would happen to him, so I went out to find someone."

"Wei Yang and the others are also looking for it for me. It's near the school. If you don't believe me, you can call and ask." Du Meng said leisurely, "It was my luck that I met him in the alley."

Li Yan raised his brows: "What happened to the injury on Ren Xuan's body?"

"I was in self-defense." Du Mengxian rolled up his sleeves as he spoke, revealing the injury on his arm, "Look, look, don't you know how ruthless that bastard Ren Xuan is? I greet..."

"There's no way to avoid this." Li Yan sneered, "Three years of police physical education for nothing?"

It's not that Du Mengxian couldn't hide, but he didn't hide on purpose. Li Yan knew in his heart that he was his junior. Everyone in their team liked Du Mengxian quite a lot. No accident, everyone will be colleagues after a year Naturally, he favored him psychologically, but Du Mengxian's temper and the problem of not knowing the severity of his actions should not be used to it.

He sighed, and said in a low voice: "Ren Yun has two broken ribs, your 'injury', tell me, who should be charged with intentional injury?"

Zhou Qiang wanted to say that he was the one who hit him, but just as he was about to speak, he saw Du Mengxian wink at him, as if telling him not to worry.

"If you're not careful, you'll hit harder." Du Mengxian knew that they were having a hard time, so he took the initiative to say, "I can pay for Ren Xun's medical expenses, but he can't just let it go for paying for murder. "

"All right." Li Yan waved his hand, "That's all for the record, you guys go back first, we'll take care of this matter."

After leaving the police station, Du Mengxian called Wei Yang and the others, saying that Zhou Qiang had been found and there was nothing wrong, and told them not to look for anyone.Hanging up the phone, seeing that Zhou Qiang was still frowning, he stretched out his hand to smooth his brows: "What's the matter?"

"I beat him." Zhou Qiang pursed his lips, unhappy, "You shouldn't help me take the blame."

"What's your crime?" Du Mengxian asked him, "Did you fight back?"

Realizing that what Du Mengxian asked him was about the past, Zhou Qiang's expression changed: "No."

"Just treat it as the bullying you suffered before, and give it back to him in one go today."

"You're not wrong, Zhou Qiang." Du Mengxian said again, "Have you ever thought about what would happen to you if I didn't look for you today?"

Zhou Qiang lowered his head and said sullenly, "I don't know."

He didn't even dare to think about it.

Du Mengxian hardened his heart, and for the first time spoke very seriously: "Those gangsters are more ignorant than I am, dead end, you are not Changqing, no one will come to rescue you as stupid as Zhou Qiang, Ren Xun It's not me either, I won't just punch you in the face as a lesson."

To put it more harshly, even if Ren Xun and the others killed or killed Zhou Qianglun, he would have nowhere to ask for help.

As long as he thought of such a possibility, he was afraid for a while.

Only a little fool like Zhou Qiang would feel guilty for taking too much focus.

Zhou Qiang looked up at him, and finally there was some vivid emotion in his round eyes: "You are the one who is stupid."

Du Meng laughed casually: "Well, I'm stupid."

Didn't he go to save him stupidly?

Zhou Qiang looked at him, his emotions gradually eased, and his tone softened: "Thank you."

Du Mengxian raised his eyebrows: "A thank you is enough?"

"Otherwise what else do you want?"

The word "promise with your body" came to his lips, and was blocked by the only remaining reason, Du Meng said leisurely: "Please treat me to a meal, I'm hungry."

Zhou Qiang didn't eat either, both of them were hungry, and when such a big event happened again, they had to have a good meal. Zhou Qiang thought about it and said, "I'll treat you to hot pot."

At the hot pot restaurant outside the school, they ordered a table full of meat. Zhou Qiang didn't care about the money, and even asked Du Meng if he would drink alcohol.

Du Mengxian asked him: "Do you want to drink?"

"A bit."

"Can you drink?"

Zhou Qiang said: "Isn't it you who are drunk?"

Du Mengxian raised his eyebrows: "Then order."

Zhou Qiang had something hidden in his heart, so drinking some wine would probably make him happier.

After Zhou Qiang drank the wine, his cheeks turned red, and he looked very cute.

Taking advantage of his inattention, Du Mengxian secretly took two pictures. He was thinking happily that they could be used as wallpaper, when Zhou Qiang called him.

He thought it was a sneak shot and was discovered, so his hands shook, and Zhou Qiang reminded him: "The ribs are cooked."

Du Mengxian heaved a sigh of relief, put away his phone, fished out the ribs, and picked up two pieces for Zhou Qiang.

Zhou Qiang stared at him for a while, then said hesitantly, "Why didn't you ask me what Ren Xun said today."

"What are you talking about?" Du Meng thought for a while, then said "Oh", and said, "What is there to ask about the past."

Zhou Qiang took a sip of wine, and the suffocation in his chest made him feel uncomfortable: "What he said is true."

Through the heat of the hot pot, Du Mengxian's eyes were foggy, making it difficult to see his emotions clearly.

Zhou Qiang heard him sigh, and he said, "You are too cruel."

"I don't want to hear you talk about the past that made you sad, you will drive me crazy." Du Mengxian didn't seem to be joking at all, he said very seriously, "It will make me lose control, let me rush into The police station beat Ren Xun violently, and doubled the damage you suffered to return to him, destroying him, even if you are sentenced to life imprisonment..."

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhou Qiang interrupted him, "I won't talk anymore."

After eating the hot pot, Du Mengxian sent Zhou Qiang back to school.

Passing by the canteen, Du Mengxian glanced at the canteen habitually. He felt that his hint was very obvious. As expected, Zhou Qiang said "wait for me", and then walked towards the canteen.

It was already dark, and the light from the street lamps and the moonlight merged together, and through the gaps in the leaves, the stars scattered all over the ground.

Du Mengxian saw Zhou Qiang coming out of the canteen, walked up to him under the moonlight, and handed him the red bean paste in his hand.

Oh, no, mung bean paste.

Du Mengxian glanced at it several times before reaching out to take it.

"The red bean paste is gone?"

"and also."

Zhou Qiang already knew the meaning of red bean paste, so naturally he couldn't pretend to be confused. What's more, what Du Mengxian said today was so obvious... He wanted to make it clear to Du Mengxian, but Du Mengxian saved him today. He, he couldn't say cruel words of rejection to him hard-heartedly, so he had to express himself in this tactful way.

Du Mengxian is not stupid.

From yesterday afternoon to night, including the whole day today, Zhou Qiang couldn't explain the WeChat messages that seemed to have disappeared without seeing it, but he was just lucky enough to deceive himself and others.

Zhou Qiang knew what red bean paste meant.

Du Mengxian thought with some self-deprecation, this is probably self-inflicted, and he cannot live.

At first, he just thought it was fun, and even looked forward to when Zhou Qiang would know the meaning of red bean paste, but he didn't expect that it would be at this time, let alone that Zhou Qiang would refuse so simply.

He forced a smile, "Yes", and said, "I see."

"It's getting late, you can go back, take a shower and sleep, and forget everything about today."

He also went back to take a shower and sleep, forgetting about Zhou Qiang.

……

Du Mengxian no longer went for a run at Normal Z, and no longer deliberately waited at the canteen.Sometimes Zhou Qiang met Wei Yang and the others, and he never asked about Du Mengxian, and Wei Yang and the others tacitly kept silent, just saying hello and chatting a few words.

What Zhou Qiang didn't know was that Wei Yang and the others came to see him for Du Mengxian.

What Du Mengxian didn't know was that Zhou Qiang had visited him several times.

In the sports field of the police academy, seeing someone bring him water, and seeing him chatting with others with a smile, he felt both angry and sad.

The weather is getting colder day by day, and their relationship is the same as the weather, it never gets warmer again when it gets colder.

Zhou Qiang caught a cold, and Qian Yuanbao dragged him to the hospital to get medicine after he coughed for three days.

During the infusion, Zhou Qiang fell asleep in a daze. When he woke up, he saw a coat on his body. He looked at Qian Yuanbao, who was guarding beside him, and asked, "Whose coat is this?"

Qian Yuanbao looked away guiltily,
