gentle night

Chapter 8

Cheng Xian would look at him more when he had a careless expression; if Cheng Liang returned to his usual carefree attitude, Cheng Xian would not look at him much.He knew that Cheng Liang would never be his target.Even so, there is still a risk of misfire between him and Cheng Liang who live in the same room: Cheng Liang is such an informal person, and the beast's body is so uncontrollable.I remember many mornings when Cheng Liang woke up, jumped onto his mattress suddenly, grabbed his crotch quickly, and shouted: "Wow! Super big! You are an angry Boeing 747!"

That stunned young man didn't care at all, Cheng Xian beside him looked at him with eyes that he tried to suppress.

So move out.After moving out, it is safer, more free, and of course more tiring and difficult.Cheng Xian works everywhere, distributing leaflets, promoting sales, and watching the canteen for others... hoping to afford his own rent and even tuition fees, and no longer needs his uncle to pay for him.Besides, he had other plans, which he hoped could be realized with his own hands.At that time, "with his own hands" meant part-time work to him.The beast's thinking is simple and intuitive, and Cheng Xian, who is still a young man in his prime, brings this simplicity and intuition to the fullest.If it weren't for the appearance of Yang Huaifang, a Bole, Cheng Xian would still be living the life of a simple and unthinking beast until today, with neither too much happiness nor too much pain.

The turning point came at the end of that year. Cheng Xian had just studied computer for almost a semester in a vocational technical secondary school. Before the beast's paws had time to get familiar with the keyboard, it was reported that his uncle's fast food restaurant had its business license revoked and he was fined a large sum of money. News of fines.Neither the shrewd uncle nor the overbearing aunt could tell what was going on.At that time, it happened that Cheng Liang took Chinese medicine indiscriminately to get rid of the pimples on his face, and he suffered from liver poisoning. He received a hospital bill and prescribed various colorful potions every day.These potions are like monsters that can eat money, eating up my uncle's pocket every day.

Cheng Xian didn't know how much it would cost, he only saw that the top of his uncle's head was thankful even more.With a low growl, the beast within broke free of the last chain that bound him to civilization.

Cheng Xian chose to drop out of school.From then on, he didn't need to pay tuition fees, and he didn't need to be on a campus that made him feel out of place everywhere.He can work all the time.Excluding miscellaneous living expenses and rent, he gave half of the remaining money to his uncle for emergency treatment, and the remaining half was temporarily invested in a company that was regarded as an illegal private fundraising company.It wasn't until he met Yang Huaifang that he learned that the company was part of an underground bank under the name of Yue Jianyi, so he and Yue Jianyi had a predestined relationship.As for why he invested his money in such a place, it may have something to do with the roar of the beast resounding in his heart day and night.Cheng Xian, who got rid of the herbivorous identity of a student, plunged into the jungle world of society. While he was exhausted every day, he was also searching for opportunities that could lead him to the depths of the jungle. ——You must know that he has not forgotten the roses in the rich man's garden, and only by becoming a strong beast can he overcome the special iron mesh and steel clips around the rich man's house and steal a flower bud home.

——How can you become strong without entering the depths of the jungle?And how can you master the key to crossing those iron nets and steel clamps?

Of course, later, the opportunity came to the door by itself, when Yang Huaifang asked him with a smile across the threshold, "How are you fighting?"At that time, Fatty Yang was afraid that he was a good young man, and he was unwilling to work for a very dirty organization like the "Yue Family Army", so he went out of his way to polish Yue Jianyi's business.After finishing speaking, he quietly observed Cheng Xian's reaction, not even caring about the fries becoming soft.It's a pity that Cheng Xian has always had a calm and sculptural face, even if he looks at it with joy in his heart, he seems to shake his head and refuse at any time.Yang Huaifang thought it was a waste of time at first, but when he saw Cheng Xian's really good muscles, he called it a pity.Unexpectedly, when he sighed and put the second French fries into his mouth, Cheng Xian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Okay."

Fatty Yang was half-shocked at first, and then laughed. He thought it was his fooling skills that had worked, and he was a little proud of himself.How did he know that in Cheng Xian's eyes, he was the opportunity he had been looking for for a long time to enter the depths of the jungle.Following him, Cheng Xian is likely to get everything he imagined: becoming a beast, and that rose bud.

Seven,

Cheng Xian asked the courier company for a day off and rode an electric scooter to his uncle's fast food restaurant.Less than a year after he was introduced by Fatty Yang to join the "Yue Family Army" that year, he received a call from his uncle excitedly: "My business license has been approved again! Your aunt and I are looking for a facade again. Re-opening the shop..."

Cheng Xian put down the phone and went to find Yang Huaifang, asking if this had anything to do with him.He vaguely remembered once mentioning to Fatty Yang about his uncle opening a shop.

Yang Huaifang showed a considerate smile of the leading cadres: "This matter has nothing to do with me, it has something to do with General Yue. Of course, General Yue didn't have to work hard to do this. The fight you fought last time , General Yue likes it very much, and he is willing to help you as soon as he likes it. ——How about it, is it not bad to follow General Yue? Well... Do you want to meet Yue Jianyi with me? He has long wanted to see you. "

Cheng Xian had nothing to say, he just knew what it meant for Yue Jianyi to personally ask him about an unknown person. — There is a price to be paid for going deep into the jungle.

Soon after, he and Yang Huaifang went to meet Yue Jianyi, and he worked for him ever since.If it hadn't been for that incident that happened later, he would be number one in the "New World" today.

Thinking of the past, Cheng Xian's face darkened.One of the purposes of his coming back this time was to disassociate himself from the "Yue Family Army". Despite Yang Huai's tone of voice, Yue Jianyi didn't seem to want to let him go.No, even though Cheng Xian didn't answer the phone at work these years, they still unambiguously sent the dividends to his bank account.And when Cheng Xian returned to City Y this time, he had only changed his phone number for less than half a month before he received a text message from Fatty Yang, "Ah Cheng is back! Welcome! It's okay to go to the New World, we all want to You." followed by a big smiley face symbol.

Another thing he came back for was to visit his uncle.Speaking of which, he hasn't been back to City Y for a long time, and he hasn't seen his uncle and the others for a long time.

Uncle's fast food restaurant hadn't moved for many years, and Cheng Xian found the store without much trouble.As soon as he parked his electric car at the door of the store, a young man in a hat ran out of the door, called him "brother—" and slapped him.

It was Cheng Liang.Now he helps his family in the fast food business, orders food online, and delivers food part-time. The family hugs each other and lives a tiring and prosperous life.Over the past few years, Cheng Liang's appearance has become more masculine, less the frivolity of the peach blossoms in his youth, and more of the shrewdness of a small businessman.

Cheng Xian was dragged into the store by his cousin, and the uncle who was sitting behind the cash register immediately stood up, "Cheng Xian is here! Why didn't you say anything?" For the last meal, add a few more beaten eggs.

I saw my aunt sticking her head out from the door, and when she saw Cheng Xian, she said, "Here we come!" There was a smile on her thinned face.Of course, a shrewd woman would never forget that Cheng Xian dropped out of school to work to subsidize them that year.And these years, even if the people are not in the local area, Cheng Xian will give them a sum of money every new year, and transfer them through the bank, and the number of transfers is increasing every year.

"You big nephew is rich!" Every time my aunt came back from the bank and looked at the typed receipts, she would comment like this, and then squinted at her husband, "I just don't know what he does for a living..."

Uncle's reaction was always to take out a piece of paper and blow his nose, and walk away by throwing the snot paper.

It was just before noon, and there were not many customers in the store.After Cheng Xian sat down at the table, he asked his uncle and Cheng Liang, "How's the business these past few years?"

"It's not as good as before," Cheng Liang said, looking at one or two customers in the store. "The science and technology park has moved away. There are only old people and children here. Young and middle-aged people go to work in the science and technology park and don't come to eat at noon. At most, there will be more customers after work." Some. The rest of the old men, old ladies and children, one is reluctant to spend money, the other can't eat a lot, it's also worrying..."

"It's still better than the old store at the beginning," the uncle was more optimistic, with a few white hairs faintly visible on the top of his sparse head, "The license of the first store was revoked, let's change to the current one, think about it later It’s also a blessing in disguise.”

At this time, a middle-aged woman came out with a plate of rice and brought it to Cheng Xian's table.

Cheng Xian saw that she looked familiar, "...how are you, auntie!" He remembered that this woman was a sister from his aunt's family, who couldn't find a job after being laid off and came here from time to time to help with his uncle's business.

The woman smiled at him, turned and went back to the kitchen.Cheng Liang got up to greet the two guests who came in. At the same time, the phone rang, and his uncle answered the phone. He took out a pen and paper and wrote: "Okay, okay, Unit 15, Xinmin No. [-] Village...Okay, I'll be there in [-] minutes."

Cheng Xian had nothing to do, so he took his chopsticks and buried himself in his meal.He wasn't really hungry, but it was time to eat after all.After picking it up for about ten times, I still haven't tasted anything, and the phone in my pocket vibrated.

He took it out and saw that it was a text message from Yang Huaifang, "Ah Cheng, General Yue wants to see you for something. At 07:30 in the evening, the Ziweixing box on the third floor of the New World. It's about Junjun."

Cheng Xian looked at the last few words for a while, moved his finger, pressed delete, put the phone back and continued eating.
