Chapter 23: It’s Unstoppable

After Yang Cheng left, Li Wenyu kept his stiff stance, with a layer of anger on his face: “Pei Xin, what’s wrong with you?”

Pei Xin leaned lazily on the back of his chair, With his legs spread wide open, his expression was extremely innocent: "What, didn't I just help you invite your classmates to dinner?"

Li Wenyu took a deep breath: "Why did you suddenly call me Xiao Yu? You did it on purpose."

Pei Xin looked even more confused and smiled sarcastically: "When I call you Xiao Yu, he gets sad. Why, does he like you? Or do you like him?"

Li Wenyu has never seen such a messy person. , laughed helplessly: "Pei Xin, you are not normal, just think that the whole world is the same as you, right? We are just classmates, he will be scared, just because he doesn't know that I hang out with people like you Together!"

Pei Xin raised his eyebrows and sneered: "No matter how abnormal I am, aren't you still complicit?"

"I am complicit in it," Li Wenyu closed his eyes and nodded lightly, "But can you? Stop involving others and don't appear in front of the people around me."

Pei Xin clasped his hands on his knees and said nothing.

The boss came over with a plate of barbecue and said with a smile: "The barbecue is here! There was a little problem in the kitchen today and it was a little slow. I'm sorry!"

Pei Xin always behaved very politely outside, and he was very polite at the moment. He gave a friendly smile: "It's okay, thank you."

The boss turned around and saw Li Wenyu, who looked very bad: "Hey, what's wrong with my little classmate? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Li Wenyu smiled weakly at him, His voice was also soft: "It's okay, thank you, boss."

After saying that, he pulled up the chair and sat down. After pausing for two seconds, he poured out the water in the tableware in front of him, poured hot water in again, and rinsed it again.

Seeing that nothing happened, the boss continued to work.

Li Wenyu silently pushed the tableware in front of Pei Xin and said no more.

Pei Xin picked a few skewers from a plate of barbecue as if nothing had happened. The meal at the next table was coming to an end. The entire barbecue restaurant was getting quieter and quieter. Li Wenyu looked blankly at the neon lights outside the glass window, with some reflections in his eyes. Glowing pearlescent light.

The silence lasted for about ten minutes. People at the next table stood up and left. After the last burst of noise, they were the only two people left in the store.

Pei Xin took a few bites and then stopped, but Li Wenyu was lost in thought and didn't notice. He clicked his tongue dissatisfied, thought for a moment and said, "How is grandma's recovery? Have you been to the hospital today?"

Li Wenyu came back to his senses and blinked slowly before responding to his question: " The doctor said he recovered quickly."

Pei Xin nodded slightly: "That's OK."

Li Wenyu glanced at him, still pressing his lips tightly: "Let's go after eating."

Pei Xin said coldly. Sound, stand up.

Li Wenyu went to the front desk to check out. The boss stood on tiptoe and glanced in the direction of the two people's dining table. His expression was a little surprised: "Little classmate, is it not to your liking? I don't think you eat much."

Li Wenyu I also followed his line of sight and glanced back, but it seemed that he didn't move much. He looked at Pei Xin who was already waiting outside the door, shook his head and said, "No, we weren't very hungry to begin with. My classmate came to eat with me."

The boss's expression softened a little: "That's it. "

Li Wenyu put away the change, thanked him again, opened the glass door and walked out.

A camphor tree in front of the store was blown by the night wind and its leaves fell all over the ground, making a crisp sound when stepped on. Li Wenyu walked up to Pei Xin, pointed to a hotel across the street, and said in a very calm tone: "Let's go, there's only one nearby."

Pei Xin raised his eyebrows and looked at him, a little confused: "What?"

Li Wenyu said Looking at the passing cars, he seemed to be waiting for the opportunity to cross to the other side of the road. After hearing this, he gave a sarcastic smile: "Go and book a room. Are you coming to me just for this meal?"

Pei Xin's expression became a little bit... Sluggishly, he opened his mouth but no words came out.

Yes, did he come from home in the middle of the night just to eat a few skewers of barbecue that were so cheap that he could hardly eat them? He couldn't remember what other purpose he had, but what was certain was that it was not to open a room.

Pei Xin's eyes were dim and he looked at the building opposite without focus. He subconsciously touched his coat pocket but found no cigarette.

He held the palm of his hand and grabbed Li Wenyu with the other hand, who was about to walk to the opposite side: "Go back."

Li Wenyu was stunned and looked back at him with a little inquiry and suspicion. But under the dim light of the street lamp, no expression could be seen on this man's face. He could only see his frowning eyebrows and slightly drooped long eyelashes that were covered by shadows.

He took a step back and stood at the same level as Pei Xin, and Pei Xin released his grip on his wrist.

Li Wenyu quickly accepted this unexpected situation, said hello calmly, and then turned and left. The road under your feet is mottled with dark tree shadows and dead leaves that are obscured by the dim light, making it unclear for a moment what is true.

When he reached the alley, he looked back and saw that Pei Xin was still standing under the camphor tree. The cold wind was tearing at the hem of his clothes. His whole body was frozen in the quiet and indifferent night, like another silent tree.

Li Wenyu guessed that he should be waiting for the driver to arrive.

There is a large evergreen bamboo forest next to the political and ideological building of the school. Looking out from Li Wenyu's seat, he can only see a few sharp wind-blown bamboo waves. There is light rain on the street, and the classroom is filled with the cold and dampness unique to winter.

Due to the weather, many people suffer from colds and colds, and even classroom teachers are no exception. Teacher Zhang stood on the podium and lectured for ten minutes. He had already sneezed several times and his voice became hoarse.

Li Wenyu listened carefully to the lecture and immersed himself in sketching out the key points and taking notes. While the teacher was taking a break to drink water, Yang Cheng came over and whispered: "I'm also going to the game room tonight, let's go together."

Li Wenyu hummed: "Okay."

After two seconds, Yang Cheng's voice became even lower: "The Pei Xin who had dinner with you yesterday, are you familiar with him?"

Li Wenyu's writing pen paused: "Fortunately, I'm not very familiar with him."

Yang Cheng's expression Somewhat worried: "Then why do you eat with him? He is not a good person."

Li Wenyu looked at the blackboard: "My grandma suddenly fainted during the weekend. He happened to pass by and helped me take her to the hospital. I invited him to dinner to thank him. I haven't seen him before.

"Is that so? Is your grandma okay?" Li Wenyu shook his head: "

It's okay."

That's good." Yang Cheng was completely relieved, "Let's have dinner together tonight. I'll treat you to a very delicious Chinese restaurant."

Li Wenyu continued to take notes: "Let's talk about it later. Let's listen to the class first."
