Chapter 22 Yuyan

Li Wenyu spent the two days of the weekend in the hospital. Fortunately, his grandma had woken up and her body was slowly recovering. Li Teng took a long leave to stay with him in the hospital, and on Monday he sent Li Wenyu and Ji He back to school.

On Sunday night, there were only Li Wenyu and Ji He at home. Ji He surprisingly changed his usual attitude of treating Li Wenyu as a transparent person and even brought one to Li Wenyu when he went downstairs to buy dinner.

Li Wenyu had just packed up the daily necessities and clothes for Li Teng's bed when he came out and saw Ji He setting food on the dining table.

"Hey, let's eat together." Ji He raised his chin awkwardly.

Li Wenyu put the things he had prepared on the sofa and said hello slowly.

He ate his meal quietly, only occasionally looking up when he was picking up vegetables to see Ji He's face, which was full of thoughts and hesitant to say anything. He didn't want to talk to him at first, but he always felt a gaze on his head, which made him feel uncomfortable while eating.

Li Wenyu raised his eyes: "What do you want to say?"

Ji He seemed to be waiting for his words: "Do you know Pei Xin? What's the relationship between you two?"

Li Wenyu picked up vegetables with his hands Without stopping: "Classmate."

Ji He looked like I was being deceived by a fool: "Who believes it? Classmate, he can lend you 120,000 yuan?"

Li Wenyu took a mouthful of rice and chewed it slowly for a while. Swallowing it down: "He is happy to help others."

This sentence became even funnier. Ji He simply put down his chopsticks and said: "Do you know who he is?"

Li Wenyu had almost finished eating, and walked to the kitchen with a water glass, leaving He turned his back to Ji He and said, "I don't know. I told you I'm just a classmate."

Ji He stared at his figure pouring water in the kitchen and snorted coldly.

The sound of the hot water kettle working was heard in the kitchen again. The quieter the sound, the more heat came out, until the white porcelain wall next to the hot water kettle was filled with steam.

Li Wenyu came out of the kitchen. Ji He was no longer there, but the remaining food on the table had not been cleared away. He packed up the packing box and threw it into the trash can. When he opened the door to the room, he saw the cell phone on the bedside table vibrating.

Before he could turn on the light, the curtains blocked out all the bright colors in the moonless night. There was only the silver light of the mobile phone screen in the room. He saw the phone number belonging to Pei Xin from a distance.

He sat on the dark bedside and answered the phone. Pei Xin's voice was a little lazy and hoarse like when he just woke up, but it was very relaxed: "Have you eaten yet? Have dinner with me."

Li Wenyu said: " "I've already eaten."

"Have you eaten?" Pei Xin stood up from the bed and asked, "What's the food? Is it delicious?"

Li Wenyu explained patiently, "I bought it casually downstairs. It's okay."

Pei Xin was silent for two seconds: "Then I want to eat too. I'll come to you now. You can eat some more with me."

Li Wenyu's face was a little cold: "I'm going to bed tomorrow. You have to get up early."

Pei Xin didn't like this kind of rejection the most, but he still had a way to deal with it: "I invited you to eat noodles yesterday, so why don't you treat me to something?"

Li Wenyu paused for two seconds. He spoke again, as if he had made a lot of determination: "Okay, come here, but the food here may not be to your liking."

There was a sound of rubbing fabric on the other end of Pei Xin. As he got up to get dressed, he said lazily: "I'm not as picky as you think."

It took about ten minutes for Li Wenyu to start getting dressed and go downstairs. He passed the living room very gently, and only made a little noise when he opened the door. .

The night outside has darkened, and the lights are clearly visible in the night. The buildings here are shorter and older than those in the city center, but when the night is not deep, the lights are also very bright.

Li Wenyu waited on the street for a while. The wind was a bit strong, so he hid in front of a barbecue restaurant. He rubbed his hands and turned around to see Pei Xin standing behind him.

"Do you want to eat this?" Pei Xin looked at his eyes that were slightly frightened and slightly opened his lower lip. He was referring to this barbecue restaurant.

Li Wenyu shook his head and nodded: "You can eat whatever you want."

Pei Xin looked around, then looked at Li Wenyu's shoulders that were shaking with cold, raised his chin and signaled: "Then go in."

The two of them looked for He took a seat by the window and sat down. Li Wenyu pushed the menu over. He still hadn't recovered. He buried half of his cold face under his collar and breathed: "Look at what you want to eat."

Pei Xin held the menu. He casually checked out a few items: "That's it."

Li Wenyu glanced briefly, turned around and greeted the boss: "Boss, we've ordered."

"Okay!" The boss put down the dishes ordered by the next table and took his hands from his apron. After wiping it off, he took the menu and looked at it carefully, "Huh? You guys, you may not be able to finish the two main dishes if you order two."

Li Wenyu looked at Pei Xin, who shrugged innocently: "I didn't look carefully. , you won't check it for me."

Li Wenyu sighed and smiled at the boss: "I don't want this fried rice, thank you."

"Okay"

Pei Xin slowly opened the plastic tableware. He asked casually: "Winter vacation is coming soon, are you still working in the game arcade?"

Li Wenyu pushed his tableware aside, picked up the teapot and poured some hot water into his tableware: "You can scald the tableware."

Pei Xin didn't move, staring straight at him.

Li Wenyu had no choice but to answer: "Yes, I will work in the game hall during the winter vacation."

Pei Xin pushed the tableware in front of Li Wenyu, motioned for him to help, and put his hands into his arms: "Don't go to that crappy game I'll pay you twice as much as your salary. Come and stay with me during the winter vacation."

Li Wenyu stopped ironing the tableware for him, slowly looked up at him, and smiled lightly: "Pei Xin, I don't care about you. The said period is one month or two months, and it will be over when the winter vacation comes."

"After that, we will pretend that we don't know each other. I will ask my aunt to pay you back the money you helped advance in the hospital. Thank you."

Such a weak smile would look like soup with insufficient salt on other people's faces, a white canvas that is too clean and boring, but on Li Wenyu's face, it would be just the right amount of light.

Pei Xin put his hands on the edge of the table and moved closer to Li Wenyu, with a firm and unquestionable smile on his lips: "Have you forgotten what I said last time? When will it end between us and how will it end? It's all my decision."

Li Wenyu pursed his lips straightly: "Don't you..."

"Eh? Li Wenyu, why are you here?"

Pei Xin looked at someone he didn't recognize. The young man, wearing a black down jacket, walked up behind Li Wenyu at some point, patted him on the shoulder happily, and smiled brightly.

Li Wenyu was startled by the sudden physical contact and voice. He looked back and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yang Cheng's face: "Yang Cheng, it's you."

Pei Xin frowned and quickly remembered where he had seen this person before. name. In Li Wenyu's address book, there are only five people in the address book, and he is one of them.

"Yes, I'll pack dinner and go home." This was the first time Yang Cheng saw Li Wenyu outside of school and game hall, and he found it very strange. As he said that, he looked at the young man sitting calmly opposite Li Wenyu. He felt that he looked familiar, and his expression changed from hesitation to surprise: "Are you, Pei Xin?"

Pei Xin's sitting posture did not change, and his expression was cold and he did not answer.

Li Wenyu didn't know what to say under Yang Cheng's probing gaze, so he had to change the subject abruptly: "Do you live here too? I don't seem to have seen you around here."

Yang Cheng said. He made a sound, but his eyes still glanced at Pei Xin from time to time: "No, but my parents love to eat at this barbecue. They are too lazy to cook tonight, so they sent me to buy it."

Li Wenyu pulled out the chair next to him: "How about Let's eat together. We've just finished

ordering." Pei Xin laughed lazily: "Yeah, Xiao Yu is just treating me."

Yang Cheng, who was still smiling, turned to look at Li Wenyu. With a pale expression, the air became quiet for a moment, leaving only the conversation of the guests at the next table.

After a while, Yang Chengcai said awkwardly with a dull face: "I won't eat anymore. I have to go home. You guys eat slowly."

Li Wenyu forced out a jerky smile: "Okay, see you tomorrow then."

Yang Cheng Nodding: "See you tomorrow." He walked out of the barbecue restaurant empty-handed and quickly disappeared into the distance of the night.
