Li Ziya

  While drinking and chatting with them, we also learned that these people don't think much of Qin Xuan either. Qin Xuan is a person who rose to power by relying on a woman, he doesn't have any particularly good friends around him, all he has is this one woman named Gao Weiwei, whose older brother Gao Jian is a notorious thug in the area, very fierce and well-known. Qin Xuan relies on his relationship with Gao Weiwei and Gao Jian to act recklessly. Gao Weiwei is the kind of woman who would die for Qin Xuan, she can't live without him. So Qin Xuan has nothing to worry about. However, according to what they said, Qin Xuan is also a very capable fighter. Moreover, he's extremely ruthless when he strikes. But Qin Xuan is a relatively reliable and principled person, so there are quite a few people following him now.

  The conflict between Qin Xuan and Yu Ming, we can only know that Yu Ming and Qin Xuan are not on the same path. Qin Xuan's people look down on Yu Ming, while Yu Ming's people dislike Qin Xuan. People from both sides often have various frictions, which can be said to be endless, but everyone has been keeping things stable at a certain level, without anyone making a big deal out of it.

  Qin Xuan's student union president, seems to have also been snatched by Yu Ming. As for how it was snatched, everyone is still not very clear. Yu Ming is not afraid of Qin Xuan, but Yu Ming does not like Gao Jian. In the past, Gao Jian helped Qin Xuan and did not hesitate to take money from Yu Ming and others. However, Yu Ming really cannot afford to offend Gao Jian.

  Gao Jian, that big hoodlum we saw last time, is a super local snake in this city district, on the school side, very fierce.

  I also tried to ask them about the woman named Nuan Nuan, but unfortunately, there was no result. According to Dong Ge's analysis and his professional household registration technology, this woman is likely to be nicknamed Nuan Nuan, but her real name is unknown.

  Drinking, no matter when, is always a good way to enhance friendship. A group of people drinking and chatting together, Dong Ge and Pangzi Tao are still the first to fall down. Then it's Fan Le and Wu Xuan, followed by Li Ya Nan, and finally, barely sober, only I and Bo Long are left. And two girls, Liu Peng.

  Liu Peng handed us a cigarette and smiled at us "You two can drink quite well"

  "It's okay." Actually, I'm also dizzy, just didn't show it.

  "Sixth son, Bogui, from now on we are all brothers. Slowly, our feelings will get better." Liu Peng continued to say "My several brothers, are absolutely righteous and fraternal, at the beginning there were dozens of people, now only a few are left. From now on, we'll share good fortune and bad together. Don't worry."

  I chuckled, "We don't have any big ideas, in this unfamiliar place, it's always good to have someone to rely on. Otherwise, my brothers and I would just be wandering around all day, getting beaten up by others wherever we go. We can't win a fight against anyone, and we always end up losing out. But today you guys went and took care of those people in just a few moves, how fast was that, haha"

  Liu Peng shook his head, "Now saying these things may be a bit far-fetched, but I'm a good judge of people and won't be wrong. You guys are worth my effort to get to know. As for what kind of person I am, you'll find out slowly later on. What I want to tell you now is that among brothers, no one relies on anyone else, do you understand? There's only mutual reliance."

  After listening to Liu Peng's words, I suddenly didn't know what to say. I looked at the man in front of me who was slightly shorter than me. Suddenly, he seemed so reliable.

  Liu Peng arrived, and still hadn't drunk with me and Bo Long. The outcome of this emotional connection, plus the drinking game, was that everyone fell down, but only I and Bo Long could barely stay sober. We slowly sent all the people back to their dormitories, and Yang Qiong and Xiao Rui also returned to the girls' dormitory.

  I and Bao Long, on the balcony, started smoking.

  "Liu Er, how can you drink so much."

  "My stomach actually hurts, it really hurts. But since it was my first time drinking, I didn't want to ruin everyone's mood, so I endured it. Since I only had a stomachache, I didn't have any other thoughts, so I wasn't dizzy."

  Bolong smiled and said "You're quite mysterious, you know."

  "Bolong, you can also drink so much."

  "I was born to drink, when I just learned how to walk, my dad would often drink with me and teach me how to drink. You know, my mom's job also required her to entertain clients by drinking, so she was a heavy drinker too. Our whole family were all heavy drinkers, from the time I can remember, I followed my parents in drinking every day, our whole family was very happy and content. At that time, my dad would often hold me up and say, 'son, study hard, go to university, and let your mom have a good life.' He said, 'your mom has been with me for so long but hasn't had many happy days, now it's too late for me, I'm counting on you to improve her life.'"

  "Do you still remember what happened back then?"

  "My mom told me, now she often holds my dad's photo and cries. Then she drinks wine by herself, when she gets drunk, she'll tell me a lot of things about their past. I think, my mom still loves my dad very much. The happiest time in my life was those days. Now my dad is in prison. My mom is also getting old, can't go to KTV or bath centers anymore, even if she wants to, I won't allow it. Her monthly salary is only over 2000 yuan, basically every month she gives me half of it. She's tired to death every day, no holidays, Sixian, do you think my mom has a hard life?"

  I reached out and wrapped my arms around Bao Long. "Alright, brother, it's okay, everything will be fine. Look forward, look far ahead, there will always be something that belongs to you."

  "I must let my mom live a happy life, I must not let her continue to work so hard."

  "Don't worry, there are several of us brothers here, if we encounter any difficulties, we'll get through them together, hand in hand."

  Bo Long smiled at me and said "Really, Liu Er, I've lived so long, but I've never had a feeling like this before."

  "What feeling"

  "The people around me are really trustworthy, the people around me are all being considerate of me. You, Dong Ge, and that fatty Tao. I've never had such good brothers before. Really."

  "Everything will be alright eventually. Alright, let's not think about those things anymore, just work hard."

  Bolong smiled and took a few puffs of his cigarette, then looked out at the night sky again.

  I started playing with my phone, thinking about the past, and called Fei Ge. Still couldn't get through. When I called Xu Ge, no one answered either. For some reason, I didn't think of calling Chen Yang and Xiao Chao. And also Tu Zi. I took out that group photo again, looking at everyone's smiling faces around the dinner table. It's a bit painful.

  "Liu Er, your feelings with these people must be very deep."

  I nodded "extremely extremely deep."

  "Is that so." Bao Long smiled slightly "Every time you look at these photos, your eyes turn red. I've observed you many times, actually you're not as strong and indifferent as you appear on the surface. Right? Why do you always like to hide everything?"

  "Hey, you don't understand." I said with a smile at Bao Long "These people are all my life."

  "Well, I hope so." Bao Long smiled ambiguously.

  "Hey kid, stop being so sarcastic."

  "That's right, Minister Qi is not in your photo."

  I suddenly remembered Qi Hao, and fell silent for a moment. "Bolong, he has a knife scar on his body, which was for our sake. Later, he took all the blame upon himself, then left us and went to another school. After all, we were once brothers." Thinking of this, I picked up the phone.

  "What do you want to do?"

  "I want to know if he has an ulterior motive."

  "Stop dreaming and be realistic, okay?"

  I didn't bother with Bo Long and dialed Qihao's number instead. The first time I called, it was hung up on me. When I called again, a woman answered: "What do you want now?"

  "Where is Qi Hao?"

  "Not anymore."

  "Never mind."

  "Can't you stop contacting Qi Hao anymore? You're going to ruin him like this."

  "I contacted Qi Hao again, but didn't contact you, is it any of your business?" I was a bit angry. "I'm puzzled, I've never killed anyone or set fires, I contacted him, why did it ruin him?"

  The girl smiled and said "My meaning is exactly what Zhi Hao means."

  "Then let him speak."

  "Don't worry, he will talk to you."

  "Then let him answer the phone."

  "Just wait and see, I'll let him tell you himself." The woman's voice was merciless.

  "Alright, I'll wait." After finishing speaking, I hung up the phone "Damn it."

  Bolong looked at me and smiled "What's wrong, are you angry? You deserved it. I told you not to fight, but you insisted on fighting, so you deserved it."

  I sighed "It wasn't like this before." Then I rubbed my temples "The effect of alcohol, if I hadn't drunk, I still wouldn't have contacted him, we're brothers after all. It's just unbelievable."

  "That's why it has become what it is today." Bao Long spat downwards, "This damn money-driven society. As long as there are benefits to be gained, what's unthinkable?"

  "Hehe, let's not mention him anymore" had just fallen when my phone rang.

  I slowly picked up the phone "Hello."

  "Is it Wang Yue?"

  I smiled and said "Yes, hello, who are you."

  "Oh, I'm Li Ziya, I've decided to forgive you. Let's officially start dating. From now on, let's not communicate with each other anymore. Okay."

  My head buzzed for a moment. Looking at Bao Long, Bao Long covered his mouth and laughed.

  I immediately understood, this bastard must have known.

  "King Yue, King Yue? Why aren't you speaking?"

  I smiled and quickly said "I'm really too excited, a bit thrilled, so I forgot what to say."

  Bó Lóng rushed towards me and mouthed "Lǐ Zǐ Yǎ?"

  I nodded and gave Bao Long a fierce stare.

  Bolong laughed exaggeratedly. I reached out and pinched Bolong's arm, and he pushed me away while continuing to laugh.

  "It's okay, I'll call you Liu Liu from now on. Liu Liu, Liu Liu, it really sounds nice when called."

  "Li Zi Ya, haha, sounds pretty good too"

  "Alright, Liu Liu, starting tomorrow, you have to live up to a man's responsibilities and protect me. Hehe."

  I feel a bit numb all over, and I quickly laughed "That's necessary, it's necessary."

  "Let's eat together starting tomorrow."

  "Okay"

  "Then you get up early tomorrow morning, I'll be waiting for you downstairs, I'll bring the thermos, and you help me fetch water."

  "Oh, okay."

  "Go to bed early then, Liu Liu, goodnight."

  "Oh, good night." I hung up the phone and looked at Bao Long "What's going on?"

  Bolong laughed exaggeratedly "How's that? How's that, didn't I agree with you?"

  I was depressed at once "Damn it, I don't even know what she looks like, how did she become my wife out of nowhere."
