old enemy riding a bamboo horse

the world is too complicated

You say it's hard to be simple

of course i understand

After they broke up, it was a long period of tit-for-tat that people don't even want to remember.

Lu Henglin had suffered too much, and it was hard to describe. He thought his father's anger was only temporary, but under Xia Chengqi's help, there was no sign of his credit card being unfrozen for more than two years, and his pocket money kept decreasing. , and sometimes even made him suffer from the pain of being stretched.

He has been trying to fight and fight back, but in front of Xia Chengqi's scheming, he looks so naive as to be ridiculous.

His father has always been very restrictive, and Xia Chengqi is constantly monitoring him, so he has to restrain himself a lot and be vigilant a lot, beware of all kinds of open and dark arrows from Xia Chengqi.

After washing up early in the morning and going downstairs, the kitchen was quiet, Lu Henglin was surprised to find that Aunt Sun was not there, only Xia Chengqi was sitting at the dining table having breakfast.

"Yesterday you came back a bit late. Aunt Sun's family has urgent matters and needs to take a period of leave, so we need to take care of each other during this time." Xia Chengqi said with a smile.

Lu Henglin snorted coldly when he saw that dazzling smile.

The breakfast on the table looked rich and delicious. He knew Xia Chengqi's cooking skills, but he didn't have the appetite to eat such a grand banquet.

"If you don't want to eat, I'll prepare a sandwich for you to take away." Xia Chengqi added.

"What the hell are you planning?" Lu Henglin really suffered too much, so he had to be full of doubts.

Xia Chengqi looked innocent and opened his eyes wide, "Aunt Sun told me to take good care of you."

"Thank you so much." Lu Henglin sneered.

take care of?If Xia Chengqi were to take care of him, he would lose many years of life.

It's already the last few days of December, and it's almost New Year's Day, and the snowflakes start to fall intermittently outside the window again.

Aunt Sun had already said that her daughter-in-law was about to give birth, and she probably went back to take care of her confinement child, and she didn't know when she would come back, which meant that he would have to eat a lot of time at restaurants outside.

Lu Henglin frowned at this thought. He has always been a picky eater, and he is more resistant to foreign food. He has heavy oil, salt, and monosodium glutamate, and he can't always eat the taste that suits his taste. What's more, it's very bleak to eat alone, and it's not so bad to be with friends Bon appetit.

"Are you coming back for lunch?"

"Don't eat."

Xia Chengqi was surprised, "Why do you want to lose weight?"

"Is your cooking the only one in this world?" Lu Henglin replied impatiently.

Xia Chengqi smiled, "I forgot to tell you, I have applied with my father, and I have applied for a TOEFL improvement class for you, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I will attend the class with you, of course, the registration fee is paid in one lump sum, It's your pocket money, so your current pocket money amount is - zero."

Lu Henglin stared back at Xia Chengqi in disbelief, "Why do you make decisions for me?"

"I'm just suggesting that it's Dad's decision. Since he asked me to manage your pocket money, is there any problem if I use it in the right place? Also, he asked me to tell you that if you don't go to class, He's going to keep reducing your pocket money for the next month."

Fuckingly signed up for a senior tutoring class and declared that it was used up. Is there any room for him to reduce his pitiful pocket money as a consortium boy?

"Xia Chengqi..." Lu Henglin squeezed out a sentence between his teeth, "Do you think this will stump me?"

"No, I believe you." Xia Chengqi nodded, "Don't be late for class, I have posted the schedule at your door, by the way, if you miss class or are late, you will also be deducted money."

Lu Henglin was too angry to speak.

"Also, I told my father about your late return three days ago. He thinks that if this is the case, your credit card should continue to be frozen, at least to limit you from making too much trouble outside."

"You might as well tell him to tie me to you with a chain!" Lu Henglin said through gritted teeth.

"If you don't want to be separated from me so much, I can reluctantly accept it." Xia Chengqi shrugged unmoved.

Lu Henglin slammed the door and left.

It has been a long time since the pocket money was restricted, and Lu Henglin has always been used to being extravagant, and he couldn't lose face in front of his cronies, so he could only coldly reject most invitations and participate occasionally with a limited fee.

The most embarrassing thing was that on Zhao Jie's birthday, Xia Chengqi plotted against him and directly took his pocket money to buy half a wall of extremely expensive original hardcover books for him. Take the handicrafts of his collection to give away.

Everyone just made an appointment for the New Year's Eve, and now he has no money and even has a problem eating, so what the hell is New Year's Eve?

Lu Henglin, who hadn’t eaten breakfast, spent the whole morning hungry, and for lunch, he could only go to eat barbecue with Zhao Jie, which he couldn’t bear at all, as if nothing had happened. sullen.

Zhao Jie didn't notice either, he just thought he was in a bad mood and handed him cigarettes when he went out.

After being punished repeatedly by Xia Chengqi, Lu Henglin had no choice but to smoke a few cigarettes outside, and every time he smoked, he would easily think of Xia Chengqi, which made him even less addicted to smoking.

After taking Zhao Jie's cigarette, Lu Henglin found that there were still two cigarettes left on his body, and he didn't even have the money to buy them.

After school in the afternoon, Lu Henglin thought about going to that damn remedial class at night, and he was still with Xia Chengqi, and he was not even in the mood to go to dinner with Zhao Jie and Lin Yusheng.

"Hey, Heng Lin, don't leave yet." Zhao Jie called him to stop, and leaned over mysteriously.

"what happened?"

"Hey, Ah Sheng has a crush on a girl, let me point it out to you, it's that one, the flower of Gaoling, ignore her hahaha." Zhao Jie said to Lu Henglin enthusiastically.

Lu Henglin followed Zhao Jie's finger casually and looked over, stunned for a moment, she was indeed a girl who would be noticed, tall and fair, with a pair of very clear eyes that seemed to be able to talk.

"Are you fucking annoying?" Lin Yusheng scolded, "I just want to have fun, who knows that she is so unreasonable, look at her today, I insist on letting him follow me."

"Twisted melons are not sweet, why bother?" Zhao Jie has always been sympathetic to jade, and couldn't help persuading him.

"Whether he is sweet or not, I will twist it down first." Lin Yusheng ignored it, and walked towards the girl with a gloomy expression.

Soon Lu Henglin saw Lin Yusheng choked up from a distance, the girl raised her chin and was not afraid of him at all, her eyes were shining brightly.

Lin Yusheng directly and rudely twisted her hand, the girl gritted her teeth in pain, but did not show weakness at all.

At that moment, an inexplicable feeling came to my heart, Lu Henglin walked over and pulled Lin Yusheng back, and said flatly, "Why make such an ugly scene, a man must have some grace."

Although it is an understatement, it is very hard to grab Lin Yusheng's hand.

Lin Yusheng paused for a moment. Although he was not reconciled, he let go and snorted coldly.

"Sorry, he is in a bad mood today, I apologize to you on his behalf." Lu Henglin turned to the girl and took another look at her deliberately.

The girl rubbed her wrist with a stubborn look, her eyes were extremely cold and disdainful towards Lin Yusheng, but she still nodded politely to Lu Henglin and said distantly, "Thank you."

Lu Henglin was in a daze for a moment, and he couldn't explain the reason.

After the girl left, Zhao Jie patted him on the shoulder, "I said, is this little white flower particularly to your liking?"

"Fuck you." Lu Henglin calmly looked at Lin Yusheng with displeasure.

"This girl is really beautiful and energetic. I have only seen two people dare to be so rough with Ah Sheng. One is her, and the other is your adopted son."

Lu Henglin was silent, finally understood what those inexplicable feelings were, snorted coldly, and pushed Zhao Jie away, "I have a tutoring class tonight, you go and play."
