Jinling love story

Tong Zhe was so hungry that he found a good-looking boy from the food stall in front of him, so he walked in directly.

"Give me a Hainanese chicken rice first, plus half a Wenchang chicken. That, Pippi shrimp, bake five for me, and five oysters."

After ordering, Tong Zhe swiped his phone and kept swallowing at the shrimp and crab shells on the next table.

"Come, come, let's celebrate! Keep up the good work in the afternoon!" Three people at the next table were toasting.

"It's the finals tonight. Don't we have to hold our breath? I think we've eaten enough, so let's go back and have a rest."

"It's okay." The boy who was directly opposite Tong Zhe picked up his glass, seeming drunk. "After so many games, when have we ever lost? Haven't we always crushed each other? This kind of small role is nothing to worry about. This is what the three of us said in private. A school like Jiangdong University, for us Yanda University You are not worthy of lifting shoes. Besides, we have a mysterious person standing behind us to give blessings, and the referee is Professor Le, a senior student of our mentor... The time and place are right, so we have to deal with their small case..."

As soon as he heard the words "Jiangdong University", Tong Zhe's ears twitched reflexively, his fingers on the phone screen stopped, and a bad premonition spread in his heart.

"You can't say that. They are still very strong. Anything can happen on the field... Hey, hey, I told you not to drink and still drink."

"What else can happen? The two of us already knew the competition question before we came here. Haven't we been preparing for it all this time? I don't believe it. Unless they have gods to help them, they have to admit defeat obediently. If they win, I will crawl back to Beijing from here, yes, from here.”

"Hey, I said can you keep a low profile, this is a public place, don't talk nonsense."

"What are you afraid of? There are tourists here. I just read the test question aloud. Let alone whether they know it is a test question. Even if they know it, how many people can understand it? Besides, I'm not afraid Tell you……"

The voice on the other side lowered, and Tong Zhe moved his body to the side, trying to hear what he said clearly, his butt could barely touch the chair.

"This time Jiangdong University used to stalk me in the first debate, and even wrote me a letter after a long time. Today I stand in front of her, she must not be in a mess. It's still a competition, speak out It's enough to come."

"Your fried sea melon seeds."

Tong Zhe was listening, and a plate of steaming sea melon seeds was placed in front of him.

"I……"

Tong Zhe just wanted to call the boss back to say that he didn't order this dish, but swallowed the words that came to his lips in an instant, lowered his head and stared at the gray-brown sea melon seed shells that were shining with oil, and then looked at the neighboring table. Suddenly I had an idea.

Tong Zhe carefully took out the small bag from his backpack, tore it open, took out the plastic bottle inside, and unscrewed it.A strong smell of medicinal powder came out, and Tong Zhe quickly covered it.Looking around, besides the three people at the next table, only the guy at the front desk was chatting with the boss.Tong Zhe slowly moved the plastic bottle from the dining table to between his legs, and lifted the cap little by little.The middle finger and thumb picked up the small spoon on the dining table, reached in and picked up a small spoonful of earth-brown powder.After that, with a flick of the index finger, the handle of the spoon hangs down, and the powder is scattered on the sea melon seeds.After a while, it mixed with the oil and water on the sea melon seeds, and it was almost unrecognizable.

The corners of Tong Zhe's mouth raised sinisterly, and he was about to add another small spoonful, but then he thought again, if the game was forced to be interrupted, wouldn't it be necessary to start the match again?Moreover, adding more medicinal powder will definitely change the taste of the dish, will it arouse their suspicion?Therefore, the effect of a spoonful of medicine powder should be just right, which can distract them and disrupt the rhythm, but not interrupt the game too much.Thinking of this, Tong Zhe packed the spoon together with the plastic bottle and stuffed it into the side pocket of the backpack.

"Boss, I didn't order this. It should be theirs."

Tong Zhe raised his hand to call for the boy at the front desk to come over, and winked at the neighboring table.

"Oh, yes. I'm sorry." After finishing speaking, the little brother picked up the dish and sent it to the next table without any abnormal expression.

"It's not us either..."

"Hey, let's eat, let's treat it as an extra dish. Tell me, is this just luck, and someone will pay for the seafood for nothing. It's really unstoppable when luck comes, hahaha .”

Tong Zhe sat there stiffly, his upper body motionless, but he was skillfully peeling the shrimp with his hands, and his legs under the dining table were shaking happily.At this time, a fat orange cat lazily walked over in small steps, lying on the leg of the adjacent table.The girl at the next table wiped her hands, touched the orange cat's head, and then picked a small piece of sea melon seeds and threw it to the orange cat's mouth.But the orange cat sniffed forward, and actually sneezed, as if it was stimulated by something, it quickly jumped away with a "meow".

Seeing this scene, Tong Zhe suddenly felt a little guilty.After wolfing down his meal, he didn't even ask for change at the checkout, and quickly slipped out.

The afternoon sun was very hot.Walking on the street, with countless seagulls circling and singing above his head, and the stream of tourists picking souvenirs, Tong Zhe immediately felt refreshed. Even if it wasn't because of Xia Ranjiang, today's trip was really worthwhile.What's more, he just solved a big problem, and Tong Zhe could imagine Xia Ranjiang standing on the championship podium to receive the award, just like he was standing on the stage back then.

However, Tong Zhe was a little uneasy, and always felt sorry.But when he thought of the arrogant faces of the people at that table and Xia Ranjiang's figure who practiced hard some time ago, he regretted not adding two more spoonfuls to cure the evil spirits of this group of people.

Finding a cafe, Tong Zhe connected to Wi-Fi, ordered a mango milkshake, and played games with his legs crossed.Under the cover of the glass wall, the blazing sunlight falls on the floor, which feels like a warm winter sun.Tong Zhe tilted his head, suddenly started yawning again, and fell asleep leaning on the sofa.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Tong Zhe was startled awake by the sound of a siren, opened his eyes, and saw the orange-red sunset slanting between the sea and the sky as if it had melted.Tong Zhe raised his hand to look at his watch and sat up involuntarily.The game has begun.But just now he slept so hard that his lower body was already so numb that it didn't feel like his own, so he rushed out the door with all his limping.

After finding the competition venue, Tong Zhe found an excuse and entered the back door of the lecture hall.The entire lecture hall was almost full. Tong Zhe looked around and found an empty seat after a long time.Just when I was about to sit down, I found a stack of brochures on the empty seat. Obviously, someone was occupying the seat.But Tong Zhe didn't care about 21, reached out and brushed the brochure to the ground, and sat down on it.

"Student, there is someone here."

Tong Zhe slowly turned his head, glanced at the girl sitting next to him, and said nothing.

"There are people here."

"Where is someone? Think I'm blind?"

Tong Zhe tilted his head, folded his hands on his chest, and sat upright on the back of the chair, with his thin lips slightly parted, almost speaking in ventriloquist. "Can you be quiet? Watching the game."

Regardless of arguing with his neighbors, Tong Zhe stretched his neck and watched every move on the stage.

At this moment, the two long tables on the left and right of the stage were placed obliquely in the shape of an "eight", and the tables were covered with indigo tablecloths, on which were the name tags of the four debaters.In the center is the judges' table, and the three judges behind the table are lowering their heads and remembering something.A row of spotlights came on above the stage. Although the entire stage was simple, it was in this simple background that a battle without gunpowder was taking place.

At the moment the contest appears to be in a free debate phase.Tong Zhe was far away, and could only vaguely recognize that the relatively thin boy on the stage was Xia Ranjiang.On both sides of the stage are two LED screens, on which the debate topics and schools of the competition are displayed.

"This house would ban international adoption... This house would ban international adoption?"

Tong Zhe read in a low voice, really not understanding what this debate topic meant.Turning to ask the girl sitting next to her, she saw that the girl was staring at the stage engrossed.

"Hey, what does this sentence mean?"

Tong Zhe poked the girl's arm with his elbow.

The girl immediately sat up straight like Tong Zhe just now, sneered, and gave Tong Zhe a condescending look.

"Tch, what are you pretending to be?"

Tong Zhe gritted his teeth, but it was not easy to have a seizure.

“…In1991, an Ethiopian girl named Theres awas adopted by an American family. After that, Theres awas forced to a brother for profit. Later, Theres a killed herself on her 20th birthday. iesinwar. They even killed those born with inabilities… (In 2001, an Ethiopian girl named Theresa was adopted by an American family. Afterwards, Theresa was forced into a brothel, on her 1991th birthday Suicide. In 20, an international human trafficking ring was busted. The ring had conspired for years to profit from trafficking babies lost in war, even killing babies born with mutilated limbs.)”

At this moment, the opponent's school's debate on the stage was impassioned, loud and clear, and various real cases were readily available, which constantly caused commotion in the audience, and there were many discussions in the audience.

"A positive attitude to look at this issue would be someone other cases everywhere adopted children who have their dueluck given by international adoption. In 1994, a Chinese girl named Kati wasabandoned in street. She was adopted also by Americans. ist, came back to China, intead of bearing hated, tomeeterbiologicalparentstothankforgivingherlife.In20,anotherChinesegirlwonworldgymnastchampionship.Shewasalsoanadoptedchild. destiny.It'stheregulationsandman'sthicsthatmakeiteevenbetter.(We need to look at this issue from a positive perspective , such as the following lucky ones who benefited from international adoption.

The issue of adoption itself is actually a choice, so that children who are born with misfortune can have the opportunity to witness the destiny Countless wonderful things. It’s just that we have to consider how to make this choice better by formulating laws and regulations and constraining human morality.)”

On the stage, Xia Ranjiang pressed the opponent step by step, and refuted with reason without being humble or overbearing.Tong Zhe saw Xia Ranjiang wearing a neat suit with a serious expression on his face, and listening to Xia Ranjiang's sonorous speech, although he didn't understand much, he was still happy.

It's just that Tong Zhe is a little puzzled.Looking around, it seems that the audience is quite interested in the opponent's school. Every time the two debaters of the opponent's school finish their speeches, there will be bursts of applause from the audience.And even though Xia Ranjiang's words made sense, there was little reaction from the bottom.Tong Zhe couldn't help beating his heart, thinking why his mysterious formula hadn't worked yet.

"It's not a regular game at all."

Tong Zhe suddenly realized something, and remembered what he heard at the food stall in the afternoon, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

Moreover, what worried Tong Zhe even more was that Xu Jing on the stage was indeed abnormal.In the free debate stage, Xia Ranjiang challenged the two opponents with his own strength, and it was obvious that the two opponents took turns to challenge each other and cooperated with each other.Gradually, Xia Ranjiang's voice became a little hoarse, and he couldn't stand it any longer.

A thin layer of sweat had already oozed out of Tong Zhe's forehead, and he clenched his fists into the chair, really wanting to rush to the stage and throw Xu Jing out.

At this moment, Xia Ranjiang felt a strong sense of lack of oxygen due to the high-speed operation of his brain, and his migraine also impacted his thinking ability intermittently with the beating of his pulse.Inadvertently, Xia Ranjiang caught a glimpse of Xu Jing drawing something on the manuscript paper with a distressed expression.

"Sister Jing, what's wrong with you? Come on, I can't hold it anymore."

Xia Ranjiang took out a tissue from under the table and wiped the sweat off his cheeks.

"Huh? Oh..."

Xu Jing seemed to have just reacted.Just as the other party's second debate ended, Xia Ranjiang quickly pushed the flaws in the other party's speech to Xu Jing.

"It's quite reasonable to see...eh...international adoption would lead to crimes. (International adoption...uh...will lead to crime, it still makes sense.)"

"Wow..." Hearing this sentence, the audience was agitated.

"You idiot..."

Tong Zhe suddenly felt a rush of boiling blood rushing to his forehead, and his veins burst out.

"But as we mentioned, we should have proper ways to deal with this issue if we continue with the modernization. (But as mentioned just now, if we continue with the modernization process, we should reasonably solve this problem.)"

Before he finished speaking, Xia Ranjiang froze, and it took him a long time to raise his head, and saw that the other party was whispering.

According to the opponent's strategy, now it's the turn of the boy to respond.But Xia Ranjiang was surprised by what they had whispered to each other just now, but the girl standing up now was the second debate girl, and her expression seemed a little flustered.

This scene happened to be seen by Tong Zhe.Tong Zhe looked left and right, and found that there was a binoculars on the thigh of the boy next to him, so he quickly snatched it and pointed it straight at the other boy.

In the camera, the boy had a calm demeanor just now, but now his facial features seem to have been distorted. Even though he was still sitting upright, he couldn't hold on any longer. He looked at his watch from time to time.

Tong Zhe was about to send this "good news" to Xia Ranjiang by text message. He just typed out the words "the other party is about to die, fuck him", but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not appropriate, and deleted each word one by one. , put the phone in your pocket.

However, Tong Zhe still didn't give up, thinking of some way to hint at Xia Ranjiang.

There is.Tong Zhe took out his mobile phone and called up the ringtone.

"Your Majesty asked me to patrol the mountains, Yier, Yier, Yier..."

A loud bell immediately echoed in the hall, immediately attracting the attention of the people around.

"Can you turn off your phone?"

"I'm sorry I'm sorry..."

Tong Zhe raised his mouth and lowered his head to press the bell.

But the trick seems to be working.Although the sound was far away, Xia Ranjiang was keenly aware of it.Wei Wei gets up and sweeps down the stage, a familiar figure jumps into sight.

"It's Tong Zhe!"

Xia Ranjiang was in despair a second ago, but the brief ringtone revived Xia Ranjiang's fighting spirit instantly.Moreover, it seems that there is one less opponent now, and only two people are left to fight one-on-one.

For some reason, Tong Zhe felt that the mentality of the audience had also changed.No matter which of the two on stage finishes speaking, the audience will react.Xia Ranjiang seemed to have the help of a god, and every sentence pierced the other party's logical flaws, which also attracted waves of cheers and applause from below.

Finally arrived at the stage of the final summary statement.What makes everyone more strange is that according to the rules, the first debate between the two sides is the summary, but for some reason it has now been changed to the second debate.

After the brief concluding remarks, there will be a 10-minute break.

"What happened to the opposing side's argument just now, why did you suddenly feel that the state is not right?"

"Who knows, I heard that he has been a gold medal debater in several competitions, and it seems that he is not in good shape today."

"Humans, you can't keep your best form in your life. Today's game, I can't see it."

"I am optimistic about the boy in the second debate of the affirmative. He speaks calmly and calmly. Even if they can't win the championship, he must be the best debater."

Tong Zheduan sat still, took out his mobile phone and sent Xia Ranjiang a message, and the audience chattered endlessly.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and the hall was full of people again.Unlike before, there are still many media standing under the stage, holding cameras and microphones on standby.

It's time to decide the champion.The eyes of the audience were fixed on the three judges on the stage like spotlights.

The judge in the middle stood up slowly, took the envelope handed over by Li Yi and opened it, took out the beige coated paper folded in three, and adjusted his glasses.

Tong Zhe gritted his teeth, half-bent, his hands were tightly grasping the armrests, his buttocks were almost off the chair, and he stared at the list that the judges shook in their hands.

"Now I announce the winner of the 13th Cross-Strait English Debate Contest for College Students goes to...

The audience stopped breathing suddenly, and Tong Zhe could hear the whistling wind of the central air conditioner.

"Jiangdong University!"

Hearing these four words, Tong Zhe took a deep breath like a conditioned reflex, covered his mouth with his palms like an ape-man and roared, then raised his hands high and clapped his hands vigorously.The mood of the whole venue seemed to be lifted by Tong Zhe's excitement. After a while, Tong Zhe's applause was drowned in the applause of the whole hall.

Tong Zhe had expected this moment a long time ago, but the danger in the process was enough to make Tong Zhe palpitate for a long time.Just a full year ago, Tong Zhe was standing on a similar stage, with the cheers of countless people and the flashes of cameras in front of him.At that moment, what Tong Zhe won was not only honor, but also an unforgettable epiphany.The precocious life experience made Tong Zhe deeply understand that in this impetuous world, if you bury your head, you will be buried.If you want to do it, you must do your best, otherwise it is better not to do it.Regardless of whether you use any means or use everything, if you win, you win, and you get far more than you imagined.

"Xia Ranjiang, your life has begun."

☆、Chapter 15

The award ceremony was followed by a simple dinner.People kept coming over to toast Xia Ranjiang, and Xia Ranjiang accepted all the orders.While drinking, a message popped up on the phone.Xia Ranjiang woke up halfway, took a vacation with Tong Sirui and hurried out.Tong Sirui didn't care about Xia Ranjiang either. Under the star-studded male teachers from several other participating schools, he happily shared his successful experiences and distributed his business cards from time to time.

After finding the location in the text message, Xia Ranjiang saw a familiar figure standing under a short coconut tree from a distance by the street lamp by the beach, and ran over quickly.

Tong Zhe folded his hands on his chest, holding a lollipop in his mouth, looking at a tall and beautiful woman standing under every coconut tree not far away, wondering if he should come out to pick up jobs in the street at night of.After thinking about it again, I realized why so many people looked at me so strangely just now, especially a bald man just now, who walked around him ten times before leaving resentfully.

"Hey!"

A figure suddenly jumped out in front of Tong Zhe, and the lollipop in his mouth almost scared him off.Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Xia Ranjiang.

"What's the matter, where are you picking up jobs here?"

Xia Ranjiang patted Tong Zhe's shoulder tentatively, and quickly withdrew his hand.

"Cut." Tong Zhe spat out the lollipop. "To send special services from thousands of miles, I can only use the sky as my quilt and the ground as my bed under the coconut tree."

"Hahaha, you got it."

Tong Zhe glanced up and down at Xia Ranjiang.Xia Ranjiang in front of him was still wearing his own suit, with straight-inch hair standing up one by one, and a smile remained in the corner of his eyes.Tong Zhe keenly noticed that this smile was different from the one on stage just now.At the awards ceremony, Xia Ranjiang was smiling at everyone, it was the short-lived joy of reaching the top after working hard day and night.But now at the beach, Xia Ranjiang is smiling at him alone, this is the natural expression of a real soul unintentionally overflowing.

"It looks good."

Tong Zhe reached out, picked up Xia Ranjiang's tie tip, and pulled him over together.He grabbed Xia Ranjiang's shoulders again, made Xia Ranjiang stand up straight, and straightened Xia Ranjiang's tie.

"Are you complimenting me or your clothes?"

"Both. People match clothes and horses match saddles."

Tong Zhe hit Xia Ranjiang's chest softly with a fist, and suddenly felt that something touched his heart.

"Are you tired?"

"……Um."

Xia Ranjiang paused.In the past few hours, Xia Ranjiang received all kinds of congratulations and compliments, but these two words hit his heart directly.Xia Ranjiang, who has always been stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat, doesn't know why facing Tong Zhe at this moment, he will completely peel off the layers of camouflage he used for defense, leaving only the deepest and true self.Her lips twitched, and her eye sockets were wet.

Tong Zhe was silent.Opening his arms, Xia Ranjiang took a few steps forward. For a moment, Tong Zhe didn't know whether to hug him or push him away—the desire that had settled in his heart for a long time might be calmed down in this logical tenderness, but at this moment Tong Zhe was I feel that the power that is about to move in my heart is not just the original desire, but a kind of long-exhausted but precious emotion, and it is this kind of emotion that makes Tong Zhe lose his memory in a trance, and cannot recognize himself, let alone what is in front of him. Who exactly.

"It smells like alcohol."

Tong Zhe symbolically framed Xia Ranjiang's shoulders with both arms, and patted his back lightly, which was also an expression of compromise.

Countless words flashed through Tong Zhe's mind.Perhaps in Xia Ranjiang's view, this game is just a simple experience in life, not even a big turning point, and the whole game can be regarded as calm.But under the calm surface, there is an undercurrent surging, bloody and bloody.And all of this has nothing to do with Xia Ranjiang, nor does it need to be related to Xia Ranjiang.

"Drink some wine, it's okay."

Xia Ranjiang smiled with his mouth crooked, his eyes seemed a little blurred, and suddenly there was a flash of panic.

"what happened?"

"The instructor is still in the hotel. I felt like I drank too much just now. Could it be unsafe?"

Xia Ranjiang looked at his watch and hurriedly prepared to go back.

"Your teacher Tong must be safe. I don't know if others are safe."

Tong Zhe grabbed Xia Ranjiang's arm.

"But it's time to go back now." Xia Ranjiang dragged Tong Zhe from the coconut tree back to the concrete road. "Come and see with me."

After all, it was his aunt. Although Tong Zhe was not worried, he decided to go back with Xia Ranjiang to have a look.

The two chased each other and ran towards the hotel with small steps.Return to the hotel in a short while.Passing through the lobby, I saw Xu Jing supporting Tong Sirui with both hands and walking in with difficulty.

"Let me tell you... old lady, today... I feel... elated."

Tong Sirui muttered indistinctly, his face flushed, and he kept belching.

"It's all him... hiccup... all of them are not good things, old... my mother is in a hurry... you kneel...kneel at the door of the toilet and sing "Conquer"..."

Xu Jing saw Xia Ranjiang at a glance, and quickly signaled Xia Ranjiang to come over.

"How did you drink like this?"

Xia Ranjiang changed the arm that was around Xu Jing's neck to his own shoulder, and put one arm around Tong Sirui's waist that had already been stretched out into three rings, hesitating and not knowing where to put his hand.

"I come."

Tong Zhe took a half-squat position, grabbed Tong Sirui's arms, and took advantage of the situation to support the whole person on his back.Tong Sirui didn't know why there was a smile on his face.

"583... finally arrived..."

Tong Zhe carried Tong Sirui on his shoulders, followed by Xia Ranjiang and Xu Jing, walking forward step by step.

"Third Aunt, can you lose some weight? You are like a sandbag when you hit me like a sandbag. Why are you getting heavier..."

Tong Zhe turned his face sideways, just in time to bump into Tong Sirui's breath of alcohol, and quickly turned his face away.

"Wow……"

Tong Sirui vomited for a while, and there was a hot, humid and pungent smell in the corridor.

Just now Tong Sirui's face was tightly pressed against the back of Tong Zhe's neck, but during this overwhelming attack, Tong Zhe's neck just became the best container, and the fluid vomit all stuck to Tong Zhe's body along the socket of his neck.

Xu Jing quickly took out a few tissues from her pocket, and while wiping Tong Sirui's mouth, she wiped off the dirt on Tong Zhe's body.

"Thanks."

Tong Zhe looked embarrassed and grabbed the tissue, but didn't look at Xu Jing.

But no matter how you wipe it off, the smell on Tong Zhe's body can't go away.

Tong Zhe was about to turn around when Xu Jing stopped him.

"I'm really sorry... Let this be your tip. What's your name? I'll write a letter of appreciation to your manager."

As Xu Jing said, she took out a 100 yuan bill from her pocket and handed it over.

Tong Zhe was stunned.After reacting, I was already holding back a burst of anger because of Xu Jing's betrayal in the game, but when I heard this, there was a bang in my head like a landmine exploded, my eyes were red, my fists were clenched, and veins on my arms burst out.

"Come on, let's wash in my room."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xia Ranjiang quickly grabbed Tong Zhe's arm before he could turn around, took the money from Xu Jing at the same time, and dragged Tong Zhe away.

Tong Zhe didn't speak, and followed Xia Ranjiang upstairs.

After entering the room, Tong Zhe quickly took off his shirt and tiptoed into the bathroom.

After a while, Tong Zhe came out after washing, his lower body was wrapped in a bath towel, and there were still drops of water on his body that hadn't been wiped clean.

"Do you have any extra clothes?"

Tong Zhe wiped his hair and saw that the shirt he had taken off was still on the ground, so he quickly picked it up with his toes and threw it into the trash can.

"The clothes can still be worn after washing. Why did you throw them away? You didn't bring any clothes?"

Xia Ranjiang was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed watching TV.

"I also decided to come to see you on the spur of the moment, and I didn't bring anything with me."

As Tong Zhe said, he quickly moved to the edge of the sand and zipped up his schoolbag.

"Then I don't have any extra clothes, I just changed them..."

Xia Ranjiang jumped out of bed and rummaged in the suitcase, just in time to catch a glimpse of Tong Zhe hiding his schoolbag behind him, and he knew what was going on in his heart.

"Oh, by the way, where are you staying tonight?"

"I?"

Tong Zhe was stunned for a moment, and just about to say that he had booked a hotel for the night, he decided to test Xia Ranjiang on second thought.

"I don't know yet. Anyway, it's not cold outside, so I'll spend the night under the coconut tree. Anyway, I'll go back to Nanjing tomorrow."

"You really don't care. I'm afraid you will be swept away by the waves in the middle of the night to feed the fish, or picked up by the garbage pickers."

"Hey, I said why are you getting less and less cute, your mouth is so poisonous. You really shouldn't be asked to participate in some debate competitions. You won the championship. You are awesome, right? You dare to hurt me."

"Do you regret knowing me, Mr. Tong Zhe? Hahaha..." Xia Ranjiang patted Tong Zhe on the shoulder again. "Just live with me, at least there is a roof to keep out the wind and rain."

"Hey...then I will reluctantly commit myself to your broken roof."

"……up to you……"

Xia Ranjiang turned his face away and rolled his eyes.

"You don't have any ideas?"

"What should I think?"

While talking, Tong Zhe's cell phone rang, and it was Gu Chuchu calling.

Xia Ranjiang quickly muted the TV, pointed to the balcony, and signaled Tong Zhe to go to the balcony to answer the phone.

"Today's roll call?"

"Everything is quite normal. I have something to tell you."

"what?"

"Didn't you ask me to check a translation company? I found someone to find it. But this is a mom-and-pop shop, so it can be said to be a leather bag company. Many people have been cheated, and the amount is ranging from one to two thousand. There are already many online The post was exposed. But because the amount was not large, it did not meet the standards of the Public Security Bureau to file a case, so most of the victims just let it go.”

"Do you have the contact information for this company?"

"It's useless. These people are cunning rabbits and three caves. They cheat one by one. The mobile phone and everything are replaced after a period of time. It's useless to give it to you."

"What about the address?"

"The address is also fake. And these people are very cunning, they all use virtual IPs, unless they use the special positioning system of the Public Security Bureau, it is difficult to find them."

"Can't you report the case?"

"There are too many things like this. College students are simple and easy to cheat, and they want to earn a little money by themselves. What's more, this job is not so tiring. Naturally, many people rush to do it. How can ordinary people think of verifying the other party's business license in advance? The reputation of the company is the key information. Once you verify it, these companies will ignore you, there are too many fat sheep, this one can’t be slaughtered, and the other one will be slaughtered as usual, who will bother you.”

"What advice do you have?"

"Suggestion? It's nothing more than gaining wisdom by eating a pit. I said that you are not so short of money, and your brain is still so bright. Why did you fall into this kind of pediatric scam?"

"Oh shit."

"I see, let's forget it. Anyway, it's only about a thousand yuan, and it's just a few meals. Hey, are you coming back to class next week? It's Lao Chen's class next Monday. I don't dare to cover up for you... "

Before Gu Chuchu could finish speaking, Tong Zhe hung up the call.There was a suffocating breath in my heart, and my chest rose and fell violently.Tong Zhe leaned on the railing, looked at the ocean under the night sky from a distance, and quickly controlled his emotions.Yes, if even Gu Chuchu can't find out the whereabouts of the liar, it basically means that he can't help Xia Ranjiang recover his reward through normal means.What needs to be considered now is how to cover Xia Ranjiang so that he will not be hit by this incident.

"Why are you still standing there? Isn't it cold?"

Xia Ranjiang opened the balcony glass door and said to Tong Zhe's silhouette.

I didn't feel it just now, but suddenly a strong evening wind came ashore, Tong Zhe couldn't help shivering, and quickly jumped into the house.
