Spontaneous Combustion

When Ruan Wei and Shen Tingmo returned to the bar, Xu Peizhe happened to return from the dance floor to the bar.

This time, he held a shoulder-length woman with long hair in his arms. She had beautiful makeup and cool clothes. She was like a match for Xu Peizhe.

"Homie, you're finally back," Xu Peizhe waved happily when he saw them.

Ruan Wei pouted at Shen Tingmo, and signaled him to take a good look with his eyes.

Although Xu Peizhe talked frivolously and behaved recklessly, he was indeed a straight steel man with a straight face, and only the plump figure and red lips of a woman were in his mind.

Ruan Wei, who is biologically male, is obviously not on his recipe list.

Just like expressing wrong feelings, eating vinegar that shouldn't be eaten is also embarrassing. Shen Tingmo's lips were tightly lined, and his expression was a little embarrassed.

"Also, on Christmas Eve, one is my elder brother who has a similar background with me, and the other is the owner of the bar, both of whom are straight men."

After Ruan Wei explained in a low voice, she raised the corners of her lips, secretly admiring Shen Tingmo's shy look.

Shen Tingmo's face was calm and composed, his eyes fixed on the glass in front of him for a moment, only the reddish earlobes betrayed his guilt.

"This is Emily, the most attractive lady in the audience, homie, thank you for bringing me to meet her tonight," Xu Peizhe walked over with his female companion in his arms, and introduced her to the two.

"You're welcome, as long as you're happy," Ruan Wei waved his hand, raised the unfinished soda water, and smiled politely at Xu Peizhe's female companion:

"Cheers, enjoy the night."

Emily smiled coquettishly and snuggled into Xu Peizhe's arms, tapped his Adam's apple with her fingers and said, "Babe, your friends are so handsome."

"Of course," Xu Peizhe smiled brightly. He was just about to introduce two handsome friends to his female companion. When he glanced at their faces, he noticed their red and swollen lips, and suddenly realized, "Oh! my! God !"

"Homie!" Xu Peizhe patted Ruan Wei on the shoulder and said excitedly, "You just said that he is your financial advisor, you vile liar, he is clearly your honey!"

Ruan Wei slapped his hand away in embarrassment: "What are you talking about, he is my financial advisor."

"Then you still sneak out to kiss!" Xu Peizhe said he couldn't understand.

"Who secretly kissed! Which eye of yours saw it!" Ruan Wei's thumb was almost digging out of the courtyard, and he tried to cover it up angrily.

"Double," Xu Peizhe made a self-poking gesture: "You two are about to bite your mouth, socrazy!"

Ruan Wei grabbed his hand through gritted teeth, and poked his own forehead with those two raised fingers.

The brat who grew up abroad doesn't know what to say and what not to say.

It can be seen with a little eyesight that he was pressed in a small corner and kissed forcibly.

Does Young Master Ruan want to lose face?hold head high?

Before Ruan Wei and Xu Peizhe got into a fight, Shen Tingmo took out a business card from his trouser pocket and handed it to Xu Peizhe. This time his attitude was much better, and he was considered polite: "It's a pleasure to meet you, I am currently Ruan Wei's suitor, Shen Tingmo, Huicun."

"Cough...cough cough..." Ruan Wei seemed to have seen a ghost when he heard the words: "What did you say?"

"I said, I am currently your suitor," Shen Tingmo repeated seriously.

"Haha, so that's how it is." Xu Peizhe winked at the two of them with a look of seeing through everything: "Then do you want to enjoy the night tonight? Babe and I can go to the hotel and make room for you."

"No!"

"unnecessary."

Shen Tingmo and Ruan Wei answered in unison.

"Ha!" Xu Peizhe clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "No wonder my grandma said that the country is relatively conservative. I only saw you shy when I was in junior high school."

Ruan Wei turned her head to eat banana slices, her cheeks were pink.

Shen Tingmo drank soda water sullenly, his ears turned red.

Xu Peizhe found it really novel. Some people, who had kissed fiercely just now, are now like a pair of elementary school chickens who dare not even hold hands.

Is this what grandma said, the profound and reserved motherland's culture?

At the beginning of the show, one of the band members said in the opening remarks:

"I am very lucky to be back in Silk City. My dream started here. I am grateful to my band in college and my good partner back then for being able to come to the scene. Cured will always be in my heart!"

When she heard "Cured", Ruan Wei moved her ears and looked back to the stage.

Shen Tingmo raised his glass and made a toast towards the stage.

"It's Ye Chen," Shen Tingmo reminded Ruan Wei.

"My God, it's him. No wonder you come to the bar today."

"Ah."

"Ye Chen is still playing in a band, it's too cool."

"He's the most musical of us all."

"Don't you love it? You're also very handsome playing drums, Senior Shen," Ruan Wei teased.

"It's not love," Shen Tingmo looked at the performance on the stage with a relaxed posture, "it's just a way to make money."

Ruan Wei suppressed her smile, as if thinking of something: "My mother and the others brought you back, don't they care if you study?"

Shen Tingmo supported his forehead and recalled: "When I become an adult, I will no longer be in the scope of the foundation's support and education. I need to rely on myself."

Ruan Wei's voice was hoarse: "Did you earn all the money you went abroad to study?"

Shen Tingmo's tone was indifferent, as if he wasn't talking about anything about him: "It doesn't count at all, the school has scholarships, as long as the grades meet the requirements, you can apply. I only need to prepare for the round-trip transportation expenses, miscellaneous books, and basic living expenses. expenses."

"That's pretty hard," Ruan Wei said regretfully with a desolate face, "If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have made it so hard for you."

In Ruan Wei's view, earning money and studying are both hard work, but Shen Tingmo has to take care of both kinds of hardships at the same time these years.

"What you gave me is already enough," Shen Tingmo said.

Without Ruan Wei, Shen Tingmo would fall into the dust, get stuck in the quagmire, and struggle in hardship for the rest of his life.

Shen Tingmo was grateful to Ruan Wei for allowing him to sit together as equals and watch a performance together.

Now he is finally qualified to be Ruan Wei's suitor.

After the performance, Xu Peizhe took Emily somewhere to have fun. Ye Chen came out from the backstage and immediately came to meet Shen Tingmo.

"Ting Mo!" Ye Chen was covered in sweat, and while jogging to shake hands with Shen Tingmo, he saw Ruan Wei beside him, and said in great surprise: "Primary school brother!"

"Brother Ye Chen, long time no see," Ruan Wei greeted with a smile, and gave him a high five.

"It's great that you can all stay in Silk City," Ye Chen hooked their necks and greeted affectionately:

"It's been five years in a blink of an eye, and I don't feel anything. It seems like we went to the cafeteria to eat together yesterday."

"Yeah, Brother Ye, you like to eat winter melon spareribs the most, I still remember that," Ruan Wei felt happy from the bottom of his heart when he met his old classmate again.

Even Shen Tingmo took up the quarrel: "Xiao Wen also likes to eat winter melon, and you always quarrel over the last one."

Ye Chen laughed loudly: "You guys have really good memories."

Ruan Wei glanced at Shen Tingmo, and said with a suppressed smile: "Senior Shen is the best spokesperson for the cafeteria. Every time he goes to any window, he can follow the students who passed by, without looking at the dishes in front of him. I just went to look at the face of the senior."

Shen Tingmo looked blank: "Why don't I know?"

Ruan Wei joked: "This may be the legendary 'handsome but not self-aware'."

Ye Chen glanced at the two of them and sighed, "The relationship between you two is still as good as before."

Ruan Wei pointed at the tip of her nose, in disbelief: "You mean me and him? We have a good relationship?"

Ye Chen smiled and replied, "Who else is there?"

Ruan Wei waved his hands, as if disgusted: "Come on, if you are three steps away from him, you will be frozen into ice balls."

Ye Chen dragged his tone: "No way, he was just your little follower at that time, have you ever seen someone who can stay three steps away from him?"

Ruan Wei raised his arm to play cool: "Tch, who cares."

Shen Tingmo looked at Ruan Wei, and explained seriously: "I didn't like you."

Ye Chen couldn't help laughing: "He was born like this, don't you know? It may be that the talent points are all added to the appearance and talent, and I forgot to save points for facial expressions and language skills."

Ruan Wei deeply agrees: "It's not just that I didn't save some points, it's a negative value. I must have been under the gu in the first place, so I ran behind his ass all day long."

"Cough..." Shen Tingmo interrupted: "It's too noisy here, it's not suitable for reminiscing about the past, let's find a quiet place for supper?"

"Success, that's exactly what I mean."

Ye Chen agreed quickly, and the three of them left Bar Street together in Shen Tingmo's car.

"What do you want to eat?" Shen Tingmo asked while holding the steering wheel.

"Let's go back to our alma mater. The spicy hot pot in Ximen seems to be called Jiuwang. I have been craving it for many years. I can't find that taste anywhere else," Ye Chen suggested.

"Ruan Wei can't eat spicy food," Shen Tingmo reminded.

Ye Chen patted his leg: "I almost forgot, let's change..."

Ruan Wei quickly answered: "Don't change it, just eat Jiuwang, I can eat a little spicy, I still remember their garlic beef veal, it's good."

Ye Chen was very proud: "Tsk tsk tsk, our little junior brother's taste is still as good as ever."

The car slowly drove out of the business district, passing through the congested city center, and the speed increased significantly after going around the third ring road.

Ruan Wei looked at the familiar scenery outside the window. He used to go home by this road every time.

At that time, Qi Yun was still there, and the driver at home hadn't changed yet. It was Uncle Lu who drove him in and out since he was a child.

When he was a freshman and Shen Tingmo was a senior, the only time they really met day and night was in that year.

From the beginning of the school season in September to the next June, the four seasons have not yet rotated, and they have already left without saying goodbye.

During that year, in order to have more time to run after Shen Tingmo, Ruan Wei reduced the frequency of going home without authorization.

Every Friday when receiving calls from Qi Yun and Uncle Lu, Ruan Wei would find all kinds of excuses to prevaricate, and he spent the precious weekend time chasing Shen Tingmo.

Go to the place where Shen Tingmo works and wait for him to get off work, wait for him to rehearse, and accompany Cured to perform around.

Even just staying in the same campus with Shen Tingmo can make him feel free to breathe.

Ye Chen is right, Ruan Wei is Shen Tingmo's little follower.

His entire freshman year was like a little hamster running desperately.

And Shen Tingmo stood in the world outside the roller, no matter how hard he chased after him, he could only look at the man's back from a distance through the rapidly rotating roller.

Until Shen Tingmo suddenly went abroad, Ruan Wei learned the news from other people, his wheels stopped turning, and he no longer had a goal for him to chase.

Later, Ruan Wei insisted on going home every week, following this wide loop, looking at the unchanging scenery outside the window.

The vitality and brilliance in his eyes disappeared, leaving only blankness and emptiness.

Qi Yun laughed at him: "You are such a grown-up, why are you still clinging to your mother?"

How could Ruan Wei say that his reckless first love ended without a problem like this, that person went to a place far away from him, and in his world, only his mother remained.

He was tired from running and chasing enough, and he couldn't even see the shadow of the finish line.

The paranoid and narrow-minded Ruan Wei no longer has the strength to love others.

When near the exit of the ring road, the car passed the speed bump, and the continuous vibration brought Ruan Wei back to his senses.

"We're almost there," Shen Tingmo, who was in the driver's seat, glanced at the rearview mirror without any trace, and reminded him aloud.

"The road is familiar," Ruan Wei looked at Shen Tingmo's profile, still in a daze.

He thought, why should Shen Tingmo question the decision to return to the original point?

Shen Tingmo is not reconciled, so should Ruan Wei be reconciled?

Even if they are both responsible for their mistakes, who can define what is right and what is wrong.

What Ruan Wei needs is a down-to-earth sense of security, to let him know that Shen Tingmo in front of him is no longer an untouchable mirage.

Whether it's Senior Shen or Director Shen.

Ruan Wei wanted to drag him down from the clouds, drag him into his hamster wheel, and run foolishly with him.

No matter what the end of the future is, Ruan Wei wants to go with him.
