【Zhou Xiang】Gravity

1.

The site has been stabilized for at least one semester. To celebrate, Du Ming proposed to have a barbecue.

It happened that the eighth class of the day was art, which was equivalent to giving away a self-study class for free, followed by dinner time, which added up to two hours.Choosing a day is worse than bumping into it, so Sun Xiang made the decision, Zhou Zekai nodded, and under the leadership of Lu Boyuan, everyone stuffed two cigarettes for the guard uncle, and slipped out of the side door in a grandiose manner.

The barbecue team moves skillfully. When they go out, turn right for more than 150 meters, enter the alley, go straight through the grain and oil store, turn left and pass two small intersections, and turn right at the roasted goods stall.

The wonderful charcoal fire and the aroma of oil immediately surrounded them.

"Heaven on earth!" Du Ming took a deep breath, his face full of happiness, "Why can't I live on Degenerate Street forever!"

Wu Qi and Lu Boyuan walked last, and they saw the back of Sun Xiang's "warm introduction" to Zhou Zekai. No matter how you looked at it, it was amazing.

"Two months ago, I never would have imagined that I could sneak away with Zhou Zekai..." Wu Qi said.

"Nonsense, who would have thought of it." Lu Boyuan sighed, "And I was worried that Zhou Zekai would not agree. In the end, he nodded expressly, but let us wait."

"Wait a moment?"

"Yes, wait for him to get the wallet."

"what--?"

Lu Boyuan recalled the scene at that time, and his face became more and more strange——

"I'm sick, why bring money?" Sun Xiang urged him.

Zhou Zekai: "Jiang Botao said that the signal on that street is not good."

"...Hey, it's quite thoughtful. Oh no, you pay the bill?"

Zhou Zekai: "Otherwise?"

Sun Xiang was shocked by his self-consciousness, couldn't help but glanced at him, and said: "...All right."

"Forget it, why bother so much..." Lu Boyuan recalled so far, stretching his waist, "It's rare to slip out, why don't you think about what to order later!"

2.

The restaurant Du Ming named is called Xiaoliu'er BBQ. At first glance, it sounds like it must be a bit of a Jiangnan water town, but in fact, the owner is a tall, black and strong middle-aged man with a gold chain and a blue dragon tattoo.When Zhou Zekai and the others entered the door, this guy was wearing horse gait and shirtless, adding charcoal to the choking smoke. The style of painting was so weird that Zhou Zekai had the illusion that he would immediately pull out a knife and ask everyone for money or death.

……That is impossible.

Seeing Sun Xiang and the others, he grinned his white teeth and smiled kindly: "Come on? Uncle will turn on the air conditioner in the bakery for you guys!"

"Oh!" Du Ming cheered, and was the first to rush to lift the plastic curtain, "I'm starving to death!"

Everyone sat down around the table, Sun Xiang dragged a stack of greasy menus, divided them, and then took out a pencil and a piece of paper from the small drawer of the table familiarly: "Eat What? Report it yourself!"

"No green peppers. No other spicy ones." Zhou Zekai thought for a while, "Anything else you want."

"Just kidding, how can you eat barbecue without chili?" Although Sun Xiang said so, he still wrote a line on the paper very quickly - "Half of all skewers are not spicy."

Then wait for other carnivores to report the name of the dish.While dictating, Sun Xiang asked Zhou Zekai, "What do you want to drink?"

"Cola."

"Okay." Sun Xiang turned to look at Du Ming and the others, "Still the same?"

"Yep."

"Coke x5." Sun Xiang got up, "It's almost there. I'll go and place an order."

He went to the back kitchen to check with the boss. For some reason, Sun Xiang suddenly remembered Zhou Zekai's obsession with sweet and sour short ribs, and said, "Sweet and sour... oh no, grilled short ribs, can you make them?"

"I haven't done it before," the boss thought for a few seconds. "Hey, it's not a big problem. I'll take a rib. Yes, it's just a rib. Just chop it fine."

"Oh yes, this is made of honey sauce, not spicy."

Ten minutes later, together with the three large plates of grilled skewers, there was indeed a grilled pork ribs wrapped in tin foil.

It is evenly chopped into a dozen or so golden pieces, sprinkled with chopped green onion and cumin, and the edges are slightly burnt. The honey sauce and the aroma of oil are scattered wantonly, as if it can instantly hook people's greedy insects.

"What the hell is this?! It looks delicious!" Du Ming swooped, "Let Grandpa try it!"

"Get out," Sun Xiang directly protected, "I ordered it for Zhou Zekai. You have to go to the boss again."

"Stop." Du Ming stuck out his tongue, "Sun Xiang, you have changed. I am no longer your beloved little Dudu."

Wu Qi and Lu Boyuan slapped the table and laughed wildly until their stomach hurt.

Sun Xiang touched his arm and felt a chill. He was very glad that Zhou Zekai was washing his hands at this time and no one was there.

3.

When Zhou Zekai pushed the door and entered, the atmosphere at the table had returned to normal.

It sounded like they were chatting about a basketball game. Seeing Zhou Zekai appear, several people caught him and praised him for a while.

"Brother Kai, you really don't show your face!" Du Ming raised his Coke and clinked glasses with him, "After drinking this glass of wine, let's play ball together!"

"Yeah." Zhou Zekai smiled.

"Brother Kai, I don't know how to play, but I'm willing to learn! Take me!" Lu Boyuan also smiled and leaned over, "Teach me to hang and beat Sun Xiang!"

Zhou Zekai couldn't help but glance at Sun Xiang.

"Go, go, pretend I don't exist?" Sun Xiang put the cup down, and rubbed Lu Boyuan's head unceremoniously, "I'm so courageous, believe it or not, I'll put you on the baking tray!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Everyone laughed and played for a while, and the boss outside came to the second wave.

While the boss was around, Zhou Zekai suddenly thought of something curious and asked, "Who is Xiao Liuer?"

"You asked Xiao Liuer?" Sun Xiang and the boss looked at each other, and suddenly a layer of excitement appeared on his face, "I found the wrong person! Ask the boss to ask me, why not ask Du Ming, he knows best!"

Du Ming's face turned black.

4.

It turns out that the name Xiao Liu'er is neither the boss's object, nor the boss's sister, daughter, or niece. Its real identity is... a dog.

"Du Xiaoming licked someone's head last time, and Xiao Liuer gave him that one. Then you understand!"

Looking back on the past, Du Ming covered his face in pain: "...Damn it. I don't want to be vaccinated against rabies again in my life."

"It's not that it's troublesome." Lu Boyuan added an explanation to Zhou Zekai, "It's because of taboo."

Wu Qi snapped his fingers: "You can't eat spicy food, you can't eat seafood, you can't eat chocolate...Du Xiaoming lives like a year, life is better than death."

Zhou Zekai said in surprise, "That was quite miserable."

"Right!" Du Ming wished he could hug Zhou Zekai, "They bastards not only laughed at me, but also ate it in front of my face. It's too much, brother Kai, you are so considerate."

"Since then, Du Xiaoming has made all the dogs in the world afraid of him." Sun Xiang took a bite of the mutton skewers and said gloatingly, "Try later when he sleeps with his ear, barking, he will play a carp for you." Stand up and flee at the speed of light."

"Day," Du Ming said angrily, "Sun Xiang, don't just laugh at me, do you dare to tell Brother Kai that you are afraid of caterpillars?"

...you already said it.The others silently said in their hearts.

Sun Xiang pretended to be stupid: "Aha, what are you talking about, ah, is the air conditioner broken? The wind is so strong!"

Du Ming chuckled: "Sun Xiang, do you think this mutton kebab is so meaty and tender that it bursts with fat after one bite~ It's exactly the same as a caterpillar?"

Sun Xiang's opened mouth froze.

Du Ming turned around, laughing so hard that he couldn't beat him: "Hahaha! Hahahahaha! I'm just asking you, do you still dare to eat it? Dare you!"

Sun Xiang froze there.

Lu Boyuan and Wu Qi clapped the table wildly: "The grass is too ruthless hahahahahahahahahahaha!"

But not long after, the group of people froze again.

Including Sun Xiang who was ridiculed.

"I'll try." It was Zhou Zekai who suddenly took the stick from Sun Xiang, wiped off the rest with chopsticks, and ate it gracefully and calmly. After eating, he concluded, "It's normal."

"Mind your own business!" Half a second later, Sun Xiang came back to his senses, snatched back the lottery almost in a panic, and then put the remaining half of the grilled ribs in front of Zhou Zekai heavily, "If you're not full, get rid of this quickly Already!"

Du Ming and the others were stunned for a while, then lowered their heads silently, and opened QQ in unison.

"What's the situation?" Wu Qixian spoke.

"I'm shy." Lu Boyuan said.

Wu Qi threw a "heaven, oh the earth" expression.

Du Ming first changed the name of the discussion group to "Is Mutton Skewers Tasty?", and then sadly launched a self-criticism: "I was wrong, I shouldn't mention it, and if I don't mention it, there will be no future. Will Sun Xiang hit me later."

After a period of silence, Lu Boyuan said quietly: "Not necessarily, maybe people want it."

5.

It doesn't matter whether Sun Xiang is happy or not, in short, after this comeback match + barbecue dinner, Zhou Zekai's "position" in the small group and even Innovation 1 is completely stable and unshakable.

One time later, Du Ming jokingly talked about the source of Sun Xiang's dislike of Zhou Zekai - the "pigeon release incident in the back mountain" in the first year of senior high school. While talking, everyone fell into silence suddenly, with ups and downs.

"It's no wonder Nima." I don't know who spoke first.

"No wonder."

"Sun Xiang is stupid, are we stupid too? Zhou Zekai can even deal with Wang Facai, thinking about it, he knows that he is not an ordinary person."

"Why didn't I realize then..."

"magic."

After a few minutes of sighing and sighing, everyone wisely decided to abandon the discussion.

——The relationship between those two people will always be a mystery. If you are too curious, you will easily go bald. It is more important to think about where to go to play on November.

6.

It's a pity that this November, they are destined not to have a good time.

"Re-classification? Exams?" Du Ming grabbed his phone, "Damn it, is it real or not?!"

According to the so-called "informed sources", some people manipulated the class division and replaced the places, and then they were reported.

In fact, this kind of thing happens every year. Reports are generally made to the Education Bureau, and they will be suppressed without exception.Coincidentally, this year there was a new leader at the top, and the new official took office three times, vowing to pay close attention to education fairness.The red-headed document plus the inspection team, the two-pronged approach, the school can't bear it, so it simply announced the re-segmentation before the school started for a few weeks.

When the news came out, the whole grade exploded.In classrooms, corridors, restrooms, cafeterias, canteens, wherever you go, you can hear people talking about it.

That night, Sun Xiang, who also served as the representative of the chemistry class, went to the administration building to hand in his homework. He passed by the door of the physics group, and suddenly heard the voices of the class teacher Wu Yulan and the dean.Driven by instinct, he slowed down and took two steps back quietly.

"It's troublesome, but there's nothing I can do about it," said the dean, "I still have to work hard with your cooperation."

"No, no, this is our responsibility." Wu Yulan said beautifully in the middle, and then changed the topic, "I heard that the school will set the test this time?"

"Yes, I almost forgot, Xiao Wu, you have to work overtime with the physics team on National Day, and the physics papers are up to you."

"Why are you being polite, director?" Wu Yulan laughed, "Is it okay for me to increase the difficulty of the paper a little bit? After all, it's been a month since school started, so it's not appropriate to use the difficulty of freshman year to judge students."

"Of course, you can take care of this yourself."

The dean pushed the door open, and Sun Xiang hurried behind the fire hydrant.When the footsteps faded away and he was about to leave, he heard Wu Yulan's voice in the physics group office again.

Sun Xiang pricked up his ears, and after a while, his expression gradually became serious.

……

"What? You said that the old witch intends to cooperate with other teaching groups to increase the difficulty of the test paper?"

"Yes, don't look at what she said to the dean so high-soundingly, in fact, there is only one purpose, to look good for the bonus. It is estimated that the other head teachers of the innovative class will agree with her plan and take the opportunity to lure people to the ordinary class."

When Zhou Zekai was doing the paper, several other people were discussing this matter through QQ.

Assuming that Sun Xiang's information is accurate, and Wu Yulan's wish is finally carried out, the probability of the melon skin trio being kicked out is very high.

The reason is simple.

They are biased.

And what's worse, it's not the same door? !The holiday is a total of seven days, and after three equal divisions, even if Sun Xiang gives one person extra lessons every day, it will still be too late.Thinking of this, he felt dizzy for a while.

"It's okay, the worst thing is to change shifts." Lu Boyuan was quite sober, and comforted him in turn, "Anyway, we can still play together after class."

"Idiot? Are you just accepting your fate like this? Don't forget, the dormitory has to be changed after the shift!" Sun Xiang pursed his lips and frowned as he typed, "It's so fucking annoying, why didn't the school tell you earlier, one more month, I take turns to make up lessons for you, maybe there is still hope! It's too difficult now..."

After Zhou Zekai finished writing a paper, he saw that the guy next door kept his head down, with a serious expression, and couldn't help but glance at him—after getting familiar with it, this kind of action is normal, and the person under observation doesn't take it seriously.

But this time, Sun Xiang was really taken aback by Zhou Zekai - not because of guilty conscience, but because Zhou Zekai's hair just happened to lightly rub against his face.

He jerked back, out of the way.

Zhou Zekai didn't realize it, and stared intently for a while, then straightened his back and stretched leisurely.

"It's done." Zhou Zekai said after stretching.

Sun Xiang was confused: "Huh?"

"I'll be with you." Zhou Zekai folded the papers neatly, put them on the other side, and took out Zhang Xin's, "Huh?"

His tone sounded... so normal, so unstressed, it was almost like saying "we can finish this glass of water".

"...Okay." Sun Xiang was a little dazed.He responded first, and then suddenly realized what Zhou Zekai had just said, "Wait, just one National Day? Seven days! Three people, are you serious?!"

Zhou Zekai nodded, picked up the pen and began to write a new paper.

Sun Xiang opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but his mind went blank.

He realized that just now, after Zhou Zekai said the three words, his subconscious had already firmly believed it.

How should I put it... He wasn't angry, depressed, or apprehensive. On the contrary, he found himself enjoying this wonderful sense of comfort—as if life should be like this.
