Chapter 16 Iced Tea

The one who drew the Joker covered his eyes and pointed randomly without knowing the direction, saying, "The 2 of Spades and the 5 of Spades."

Xu Xilin rolled his eyes, feeling bad: "I'm the 2 of Spades."

Generally speaking, he is the one who gets bullied in such situations, because everyone feels that they are very familiar with him and they tend to be more lenient with acquaintances.

Wu Tao: "Where's the 5 of Spades? Who is the 5 of Spades? Stand up!"


Amid the crowd's booing, Luo Bing stood up from the corner. She quickly glanced at Xu Xilin, then walked out without raising her head.

Lao Cheng was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so he immediately patted "Xiao Wang" on the shoulder and made a strange "oh oh oh" sound. Wu Tao picked up the microphone, stood on the sofa, and coughed dryly: "Well, everyone, be quiet, I'm going to start giving orders."

Xu Xilin kicked him.

Wu Tao leaned to the side and received the kick: "A handsome man and a beautiful woman, what do you say we should do?"

The old man took the lead and said, "Give me a kiss!"

Wu Tao: "Where do you want to kiss?"

The naughty kids howled collectively: "Kiss!"

Xu Xilin: "You are so old!"

Luo Bing's face turned red and tears were about to come out.

Wu Tao held up the microphone and said, "Commander, please don't be scared, okay? We have an agreement. Whoever is impatient here drawing the cards will be a grandson."


Xu Xilin looked at Luo Bing in great embarrassment. He didn't mind being tricked, but it wasn't good to involve Luo Bing.

Lao Cheng, the troublemaker, rolled his eyes and instigated a group of girls to join him in making trouble: "Class monitor, are you shy?"

"Our squad leader doesn't dare. Is he stunned by the commander's handsomeness?"

Wu Tao looked at Xu Xilin with a playful smile, like a pimp: "Commander, if you don't want to kiss me, you can find someone to do it for you."

Xu Xilin: “…”

He was at a loss as to what to do with this bunch of people. He originally wanted to count on Luo Bing to cheat, but Luo Bing was defeated by the phrase "I was stunned by his handsomeness". He couldn't cheat, and he was frozen in place like a stick. Since the girl didn't say anything, if he refused to cooperate, Luo Bing would have a hard time leaving.

Xu Xilin hesitated briefly and had to walk over silently.


Luo Bing looked straight ahead without daring to raise his eyes. His gaze fell on the shirt buttons on Xu Xilin's chest. His eyelashes trembled violently, and he didn't know whether he was nervous or expectant.

Wu Tao: "Can you hurry up? What emotions have taken you so long to brew?"

Xu Xilin gave him the middle finger, then stretched out his hand lightly, as if to hold Luo Bing's shoulder, but in fact he was very careful not to touch her. Then, using this little cover, he lowered his head and found a seat, then just posed and quickly retreated. The light in the private room was dim, and people who were far away could not notice it.

Luo Bing came back to her senses, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether she was disappointed or relieved. She quickly sat back in her original seat and pinched each of the girls who had just made a fuss in annoyance.


People far away couldn't see clearly, but those close by certainly knew what was going on. Wu Tao was about to raise his voice to tell everyone that Xu Xilin cheated, but Xu Xilin glared back at him with a warning look. He then came back to his senses from the excitement of the beer, and remembered that Luo Bing was thin-skinned, and it would not be good to go too far, so he kept his mouth shut and brewed his next bad idea.

Xu Xilin grabbed Lao Cheng by the collar, pressed his head into the sofa, and punched him several times: "Be careful, don't fall into my hands next time."

Lao Cheng howled loudly without feeling embarrassed, while Cai Jingze sat on the side and laughed along, but his laugh was so perfunctory that it didn't even touch the dermis.

This semester, everyone has been helping him on duty, plus the scattered royalties and frugality, Cai Jing has saved more than 2,000 yuan in total, which is enough for him to finish his senior year. He was in a rare good mood, and made an exception to take a leave to join the class activities, but now he suddenly felt bored.

Because to Cai Jing, Luo Bing is different.

Most of the classmates in the class have good family conditions, only Luo Bing and he share the same fate, she has an instinctive attraction to him. But Cai Jing does not admit that he likes Luo Bing, nor does he show it, because Luo Bing is smart and beautiful, and in her teenage years when she still does not know what the rich and poor are, it is not considered too high for her to like Xu Xilin.

But Cai Jing was different. Even if he could write an essay that would excel in the imperial examination, he could only get 60 points at most for the composition. Considering his poor scores in comprehensive science and mathematics, he was powerless to turn the tide.


The future of others is “where the road leads, the road is right under your feet”, but his future is like the moving board in Super Mario, he has to jump and run for his life.

So it’s wrong to like anyone. Toads should be vegetarians.

He just often felt a little nervous when others were coaxing Xu Xilin and Luo Bing.

Cai Jing felt a little pain in his chest because the "thump" was more severe today.

Xu Xilin didn't notice it. He sat back next to Dou Xun awkwardly, and then he heard Dou Xun suddenly say, "It's boring. Let's go?"

Xu Xilin didn't know why he was annoyed again, but this suggestion hit the mark. He looked at his watch and saw that it was almost twelve o'clock, so he said, "Okay, I'll have a glass of water and leave right away."

After hearing this, Dou Xun immediately picked up a bottle of iced black tea, unscrewed the lid and handed it to him, as if he would make him drink it if he was slow.

Xu Xilin took it helplessly. Dou Xun, eager to go home, stood up and went to get their schoolbags.


Lao Cheng came over and asked quietly, "What happened to Dou Xian'er?"

"Who the hell knows." Xu Xilin thought.

At the same time, he said to Lao Cheng: "I'm sleepy and want to go home."

Wu Tao took the opportunity to say something annoying: "Look, it's all because of you guys who can't have fun. You've made our genius tired - let's draw another round quickly."

Wu Tao was particularly excited that night. He didn't know what the "coming of age ceremony" had stimulated him for. He wanted to relieve his boredom. He quickly and noisily drew another card for everyone. Xu Xilin took a card at random without caring about anything. Wu Tao put the last card on the table and said to Dou Xun, "I put it here for you!"

Dou Xun was waiting for Xu Xilin with his bag and ignored him.

Wu Tao's face darkened.

At this time, the person who drew the Joker has already revealed his cards and said, "Three and seven."

Wu Tao slowly flipped open his trump card, with a look of cheating that he wanted to tell the world, and said: "Don't just give out phone numbers, also ask for a 'leader', so that I can speak with more force."

Xiao Wang readily changed the subject: "Then the three will... King King?"

Lao K called out three times, but no one answered. Wu Tao stepped forward impatiently and turned over the card on the table. Then he raised his eyes and squinted at Dou Xun: "Daxianer, you won a late lottery. Finish this game before leaving."

Xu Xilin suspected that Wu Tao saw Dou Xun's card when he was dealing the cards and deliberately induced Xiao Wang to click on it.

"Who's Three?"

No one said anything. They all looked at each other for a while. Xu Xilin thought, "No way?"

He flipped over the card he had just picked up and saw that he had been tricked again. Wu Tao was also stunned for a moment: "Why is it you again?"

Without saying anything, Xu Xilin jumped up and said, "Let's stop here for today. We're leaving first."

Wu Tao reacted quickly: "The door is blocked, don't run!"

A group of people who were looking for fun didn't care about the undercurrent and immediately rushed forward to block the door. Lao Cheng and Wu Tao held Xu Xilin on the left and right.

Wu Tao: "If you want to play this game, you have to leave money to buy your way through. After this game, I'll let you two go."

Lao Cheng: "That's right, where's the imperial edict?"

Xu Xilin really wanted to fool this old idiot, who knew nothing but was trying to fool people.

Wu Tao said: "Old K sat there, Hei San set the phone to vibrate, stuffed it into Old K's left trouser leg, and then took it out from the right trouser leg. He had to walk from the front and stay in the middle for 30 seconds. Grandpa was responsible for making continuous calls."

Xu Xilin: “…”

This is just a deliberate joke. He glanced at Dou Xun, not knowing whether Dou Xun was furious or simply did not understand how this was played. He stood there expressionlessly, carrying two schoolbags.

Xu Xilin: "Brother Tao, you can have fun, but you have to know when to stop."

Wu Tao had always hated Xu Xilin for protecting Dou Xun. In his heart, the feud with Dou Xun had never ended, but he just couldn't get back at him openly. Finally, he found an opportunity to take revenge: "This is just the beginning. Commander, we only played for a short while today, and you've been exhausted twice. If you really favor him so much, you don't have to play Cross the Bridge. Otherwise, you two can play French style for forty seconds, and keep the count."

Xu Xilin was also a little angry. He didn't care if it was just a joke, but it was very boring if it was maliciously targeted.

Wu Tao said proudly: "No borrowing of positions this time, we are all watching, you choose for yourself."

Lao Cheng might have drunk too much. He couldn't read people's faces at all. He just laughed foolishly beside them: "Choose, choose, choose!"

Xu Xilin: “…Fuck.”

Dou Xun stood there stupidly, and Xu Xilin suspected that he might not even understand what "French style" meant - Dou Xun's usual pastime was to go out for a run or stay at home reading all kinds of incomprehensible books, occasionally playing chess with others online, and he didn't even watch TV.

Xu Xilin gave Dou Xun a helpless look, and Dou Xun looked puzzled.

Xu Xilin: "Let's go after the kiss, it's a deal."

Wu Tao crossed his arms over his chest and raised his eyebrows.

Xu Xilin pulled Dou Xun over, touched his lips lightly, and let go immediately: "Is that all right? Let's go."

Dou Xun: “…”

He remained expressionless as he was so frightened that his limbs went stiff and the schoolbag he was holding in one hand almost fell to the ground.

"Wait!" Wu Tao was extremely dissatisfied with Xu Xilin's partiality, "What about the French style? What about forty seconds? Old Xu, can you stop pretending to be pure? Are you the only one who blindfolds himself when watching movies in the Internet cafe?"

A girl chuckled: "Oh? Watch a movie?"

Soon, classmates noticed that the atmosphere was not right and gave him a hand.

Wu Tao arrogantly held the microphone and shouted: "Who can give me a watch?"

Lao Ben originally wanted to take off his watch and hand it over, but Yu Yiran quietly stopped him.

Dou Xun didn't hear what others said at all. He had not yet recovered from his frozen state.

Xu Xilin suddenly raised his hand and pinched his chin. Dou Xun's eyeballs moved slightly, and then his head "buzzed", his eyes widened three times in an instant, and a warm and soft thing was put into his mouth, scaring him so much that he dared not move. The smell of iced black tea gradually spread from his mouth to his nose, causing his sense of smell and taste to short-circuit.

Dou Xun had no clear recollection of when Xu Xilin snatched the schoolbag from his hand, when he pulled him out of the private room, when he got on the taxi, and when he arrived home.

It was already midnight when he had safely returned home and laid back in bed. Dou Xun suddenly got up as if from the dead, went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of iced black tea and drank it.

The frosty drink went from my throat to my stomach. It was cold and tasted nothing but cold.

Dou Xun shuddered, smacked his lips, and thought, "Am I sick?"
