rush to score

When he received the text message from Lu Mingchuan, Liang Xi was leaning against the corner of the wall and drowsy. He looked at the words on the phone screen and walked to the window.

He was on the second floor, looking down, he could see a conspicuous figure in the open space, and a flickering orange-red spark, which looked like it was about to go out in the summer night.

"I'm fine, you can go back." He typed a few words on the phone and clicked send.

Liang Xi originally prepared a series of explanations. He could say that he wanted to go outside to get some fresh air because he was too drunk, or that he wanted to go out to eat a high-calorie fast food at 01:30 in the morning... …

He could have many unmistakable explanations, except that it wasn't because Lu Mingchuan was upset.

However, he just didn't want to go to the trouble of making up lies anymore.

I'm so tired, I have to take care of the broken-hearted once in a while... Thinking, Liang Xi tapped on the window with his finger, which happened to be printed on Lu Mingchuan's face.

The people downstairs didn't look back. After seeing the message on the phone, they stubbed out their cigarettes and turned to leave.

The summer in Boping City is coming to an end, and Xia Chan took advantage of the last month to scream desperately, screaming hoarsely, boiling to the sky... It makes people have a headache, and with the trains passing by the track downstairs from time to time, it is simply It was too loud to sleep.

On the third night of insomnia, Liang Xi finally decided to change a kennel for herself.

The last 30 was useless in his hands, and he didn't intend to keep it until it got moldy.This is the advantage of being young. One person is full and the whole family is not hungry. You never have to be afraid to spend money. As long as it can improve the quality of life, you will not feel distressed at all when you spend the money.

Just as he was running around the city looking for housing, Bai Xuzhou had already completed the procedures for admission to the hospital - he and Bai Xiaoliu's blood types matched, and what needed to be done now was surgery as soon as possible.

Ever since the two had a quarrel because of the 30 yuan, Bai Xuzhou didn't take the initiative to contact Liang Xi as if he had disappeared.

However, Liang Xi was still worried, asked for the address, and went to see him.

When they met again, Bai Xuzhou seemed to have lost a lot of weight, leaning against the front of the hospital bed, mouthfuls of food, seeing Liang Xi coming, he was stunned for a moment, put down his rice bowl, with a grain of white rice hanging from the corner of his mouth.

Liang Xi couldn't help laughing at him, and tapped his mouth with his hand to signal: "How old is he, and he still leaks his mouth."

Bai Xuzhou hurriedly wiped the rice grains from his mouth: "Brother? Why are you here?" He looked cramped and nervous, as if he was afraid of making Liang Xi angry again. The two looked at each other for a moment, and Bai Xuzhou lowered his head and looked away.

"Xiao Liu is about to enter the operating room. If I don't come to see her again, I'm sorry for calling me brother."

Liang Xi's eyes dimmed. The moment he and Bai Xuzhou looked at each other, he knew that some subtle changes had taken place in the relationship between the two. He couldn't explain what it was, but he felt the strangeness through the glass. Feeling that Bai Xuzhou unilaterally had his own thoughts, but he didn't want to tell him again.

This is an embarrassing result.

Because of the 30 yuan, Bai Xuzhou suspected that he had done some shady business, and Liang Xi himself was not satisfied with Bai Xuzhou working in a bar for money.

In many cases, when people grow up, their minds will become more, and the original unconditional trust has quietly become weak.

Lu Mingchuan was like this, and so was Bai Xuzhou.

Reunion after a long absence is not necessarily touching. In most cases, what is in front of you is a new relationship that needs to be re-examined. Because you are not willing to lose your former lover or friend, you carefully maintain an illusory illusion with the remaining inertia. , to reconstruct a new relationship.

Whether the result is good or bad, it has become a matter of fate.

Bai Xuzhou didn't know what Liang Xi was thinking, he moved outside and ordered another sick meal, put it in front of Liang Xi, scratched his head: "If you have clear soup with little water, you can just make do with it."

Liang Xi didn't dislike it, so he sat across the small table and had lunch with Bai Xuzhou.

The two of them chattered and chatted about some irrelevant things while eating, but neither of them mentioned the 30 yuan. It wasn't until Liang Xi said that he was going to leave that Bai Xuzhou suddenly grabbed his hand.

"Brother, wait, I have something to tell you." He seemed to have made up his mind, and after a pause, he said to Liang Xi in a very small voice, "I'm sorry."

Liang Xi was stunned for a few seconds before he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm going to prepare for the operation with peace of mind..."

"Lu Mingchuan told me everything!" Bai Xuzhou interrupted him and hurriedly said.

Liang Xi's heart tightened, he controlled the expression on his face, and then asked him: "What did I tell you?" He carefully observed the expression on Bai Xuzhou's face, his heart pounding.

The less people know about the underground competition, the better. Liang Xi no longer intends to participate in any such illegal events.The best situation right now is that no one else will know about these things, and it would be best if they could be brought into the loess with Liang Xi.

"He told me..." Bai Xuzhou was also observing Liang Xi's expression, and he paused before speaking, "He told me, the 30 you wanted to give me at the beginning was originally borrowed from him, and I borrowed it from him. Misunderstood you."

Liang Xi blinked: "Yes, I don't mind him borrowing it."

"..." Bai Xuzhou stared at him, as if trying to see some flaws in Liang Xi's face, but the other party just maintained a calm expression, looked at him, and admitted everything.

"I don't care if he borrowed it." Liang Xi repeated, "Although there have been some unpleasant things between us, after all, he also grew up with you, and this money is not much for him. He is willing to I'll lend it to you, it's just..." Liang Xi decided to use Bai Xuzhou's words on this issue.

"It's just, I don't know why, I always feel that the atmosphere between the two of you is delicate. I told him about Bai Xiaoliu. Although he is willing to borrow money, he is unwilling to talk to you directly..."

Bai Xuzhou opened his doggy eyes, and he didn't know anything about Liang Xi's temptation. He opened his mouth slightly, as if he was reluctant.

"What's going on between the two of you?" Liang Xi finally asked.

Liang Xi remembered that before he went abroad, the relationship between these two people was still harmonious. From a certain point of view, he always thought that even if the two of them didn't like each other because of their personalities when they grew up, at least they could maintain it. This kind of relationship - the two of them are family friends, and the company's business contacts are quite close.

As a rule, there would never be a situation like this where no one wants to talk to anyone, and even avoids each other when they meet each other.

Unless something happened between the two of them that Liang Xi didn't know about.

Bai Xuzhou hesitated to speak, some words came to his lips but he couldn't say them, and in the end he just shook his head: "Brother, you can't waste time with Lu Mingchuan any longer."

"What do you mean?"

"You..." Bai Xuzhou was aggrieved by his question, so he had to grit his teeth and say to Liang Xi, "You also know his character, he has neither friends nor lover, whether he has a girlfriend or not is another matter, brother , You will not end well if you fall on him."

Liang Xi thought it was funny: "I didn't intend to get in between him and his girlfriend, you don't have to worry."

"It's not a question of whether you two can get along with each other!" Bai Xuzhou suddenly raised his voice, "Stay away from him!"

Liang Xi was taken aback by his sudden reaction. He vaguely felt that there was something he had overlooked, but it could make Bai Xuzhou worry about it...

"What's the matter? Xiaobai, please speak more quickly." He became impatient and stared at Bai Xuzhou, "Since it's about me, there's no reason why you shouldn't let me know, right?"

"Back then..." Bai Xuzhou avoided Liang Xi's gaze, swallowed his saliva, and then told him, "Back then, it was Lu Mingchuan who asked his family members to help you contact the country."

"what?!"

Recalling what happened back then, Liang Xi really felt that something was not quite right.

Four years ago, his parents were just professors of history teaching at a university. Although they were well-known in the academic world and made a lot of money by participating in projects, they were just ordinary families after all, and the whole family moved abroad. For them, there are still quite a few difficulties.

However, after the Liang Xi Youth Championship, Father Liang suddenly received an invitation from a well-known university in country A, saying that the school added a course on the study of oriental culture and history, hoping to hire him to teach in country A.

At that time, the university where Liang's father worked also expressed support, saying that this was a government project to promote cultural exchanges. If Liang's father decided to go, it would not only help their family obtain visas as soon as possible, but also reimburse a considerable part of the expenses.

Thinking about it now, these things happened too coincidentally, just in time for Liang Xi to be injured in a car accident. At that time, Liang's mother probably had the idea of ​​hoping that her son would give up fencing and concentrate on studying.After the parents made up their minds, and Liang Xi was disappointed because Lu Mingchuan didn't come to see him for a long time, he nodded and agreed to go abroad. He has only been there for four years.

Thinking about it now, these four years of living abroad did not make Liang Xi very happy. On the contrary, these four years made him feel like a long and boring nightmare. Belongs to his new life.

He wasted the precious four years of his youth in constant regret.

He didn't care about it at first, just because he thought it was a wrong decision he made, and he had to bear the responsibility for the choice he made... However, now Bai Xuzhou suddenly told him that everything that happened was caused by Lu Mingchuan To add fuel to the flames, if the university in country A didn't invite him, if Liang's father's original work unit didn't support him, if, if Lu Mingchuan came to see him, even just a glance.

Will everything be different...

A person's brain will always turn over a few seconds of seemingly insignificant memories at a certain moment. Liang Xi suddenly remembered what Lu Mingchuan said when he pushed him in the lounge of Fme that day. He said: "You go Country A came back after learning these rags, so it might as well not go back then!"

This sentence sounded like an angry statement at the time, but now that I think about it, it's weird... It's as if Lu Mingchuan could control him from going abroad.
