Chapter 28: fifth day
In the morning, He Yang came to Jiang'an Community and received Shen Xiuzhu.
The weather outside was still a little gloomy, and it was always windy.
Shen Xiuzhu got in the car, couldn't help but lowered his head and sneezed, his eyes were a little red.
He Yang looked over and asked, "Have you caught a cold?"
"It's probably..." Shen Xiuzhu rubbed his eyes and said, "By the way, I seem to have left my cup in your car yesterday..."
As Shen Xiuzhu said, he lowered his head and looked for it on the seat.
He Yang handed over the thermos cup and said, "I received hot water in the morning."
"Thank you." Shen Xiuzhu laughed, took the thermos cup and drank slowly.
And because the water temperature was hot, when Shen Xiuzhu drank the water, fog appeared on his glasses again.
The car drove towards the pier, and after a while, it stopped at the intersection and waited for the red light.
He Yang freed a hand and stretched it out towards Shen Xiuzhu.
Shen Xiuzhu took off his glasses naturally, put them in the man's hands, and said, "Wait later to buy a cake from Elder Zhou."
He Yang took out a tissue to wipe his glasses, and responded.
After cleaning the glasses, He Yang helped the person beside him put on the glasses.
Just when the red light turned green, He Yang drove to Lao Zhou's cake shop and bought a cake for Shen Xiuzhu.
After buying the cake, the car drove towards the pier.
The houseboat was docked by the pier, and when the two came to the houseboat, there were already many people inside.
Chi Yi was on the sofa, looked over, looked behind He Yang, and asked, "Where's Jiang Lin? Didn't you come?"
He Yang walked in, took advantage of the situation to sit aside, and said lightly, "I asked, he won't come."
"Hey, I even called out a few clean little models today, wanting to give my little cousin a **** drive." Chi Yi's tone was a little regretful.
A rich second generation next to him heard it, and immediately came over and said quickly, "Called a model? How is the technique? Give me a try?"
"The technology is good, and he is very good at serving people." Chi Yi was a little condescending, and hinted: "Especially that mouth, it can be ecstasy-"
He Yang interrupted aloud: "Shen Xiuzhu is still here, pay attention when you speak."
"It's okay, I'm not a child anymore." Shen Xiuzhu smiled, "I can also discuss the topic of adults."
"Yeah, Xiuzhu is not a child anymore!" Chi Yi smiled and said to Shen Xiuzhu again, "If Xiuzhu wants to eat meat, come to me, I promise to introduce you to someone who has good skills and can serve people!"
"Okay." He Yang frowned, and just said to Shen Xiuzhu, "Ignore them."
Chi Yi suddenly said: "Young Master He, don't protect him all the time! What's the matter with discussing some adult topics!"
"That's right." The other person immediately coaxed, "You can't protect Young Master He for the rest of your life."
"Young He was like this before. He was too partial. He was always protecting Xiuzhu, always saying that we would bring him down..."
"I see, if He Shaohu lived his whole life, it wouldn't be impossible."
Everyone else started booing.
For a while, the topic became a little ambiguous.
Shen Xiuzhu still had a gentle smile on his face. He didn't answer, he just narrowed his eyes, he was used to this kind of ridicule.
He Yang drank his wine and said lightly, "Speak less."
"Okay, let's not talk about it." Chi Yi laughed and didn't continue the topic, he just asked: "What does Xiuzhu drink? Coke or orange juice?"
Shen Xiuzhu thought for a while and replied, "I want to try red wine."
He Yang next to him listened and said to Chi Yi, "He drinks hot milk."
"Hot milk, right? Okay!" Chi Yi got up and went outside to ask for a cup of hot milk.
Chi Yi put the hot milk on the table, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "By the way, is Yanyan back?"
"Probably not yet." Someone next to him interjected, "Otherwise, Young Master He would have brought him here today."
"It's the fifth day, Shao He won't lose the bet, right?"
"What's the hurry, it's not over yet, maybe the banquet will call at the end."
At this moment, someone suddenly asked, "What if Yanyan doesn't come back?"
"How is that possible." Chi Yi waved his hand, "He likes Young Master He so much, he can't drive him away."
A group of people laughed and quickly changed the topic to continue the discussion.
It was as if everyone had tacitly agreed that Xu Chengyan would definitely return to He Yang, and no one had considered other possibilities.
He Yang leaned on the sofa and drank red wine with a cold expression on his face, indifferent to Xu Chengyan's affairs.
Holding the milk cup, Shen Xiuzhu leaned over and asked softly, "Where is Xu Chengyan... is it okay?"
"Don't worry about him." He Yang said casually, "I will be back sooner or later."
On the other hand, Chi Yi took out the chips and cards and coaxed, "Today is April Fool's Day, let's play something big!"
"How big is the game? I didn't bring much money with me today. If I lose, I can only take off my clothes and pay off the debt!"
"Chi Yi, where's the model you mentioned! When will you bring it out to play!"
Chi Yi hurriedly said: "Come on, it's coming soon! If you win, my models will play as you like!"
"Save one for me! I'll play too!"
Others came over one after another, clamoring to play with models.
He Yang didn't participate in the game in the past, he just looked at the gaming table with a pair of dark eyes that were obscure.
Xu Chengyan also likes to celebrate April Fool's Day.
On April Fool's Day in the first year, Xu Chengyan told him that there were no wontons at home, but when he returned, there was a wonton on the table.
On April Fool's Day the next year, Xu Chengyan said that the power was cut off at home, just to trick him into getting off work earlier.
Year 3, Year 4...
It seems that every April Fool's Day, Xu Chengyan will make a little joke.
He Yang put down the wine glass and was about to get up to go outside to get some air when Shen Xiuzhu stopped him.
Shen Xiuzhu held the chessboard and asked, "Do you want to play chess?"
He Yang looked at the chessboard and said slowly, "I haven't played for a long time."
"I haven't played for a long time." Shen Xiuzhu smiled and put the chess in place, "In the past, I liked to play chess secretly with you..."
"They all think chess is boring, you are the only one who will play with me." Shen Xiuzhu's tone was a little nostalgic.
At the gaming table not far away, Chi Yi and the others have already started the game.
The April Fool's Day carnival has begun.
And in the distant city of Anshi, under the cliff.
A black van fell to the ground and its body was squeezed to the point of deformation.
In the back seat of the car, Xu Chengyan was stuck in the middle of the seat, almost breathless and had difficulty breathing.
The incident happened too suddenly, Xu Chengyan opened his eyes in a daze, there was a roar in his ears, no sound could be heard, his mind was blank, and he couldn't think.
He couldn't move his body, he didn't even have the strength to climb out, only his wrists could barely move.
Everything is like a dream, there is no way to control the body, it is so unreal.
His chest was also a little stuffy, it seemed that something heavy was pressing against him, and there was also a burning pain on his right leg, as if he was injured.
There was a strong smell of blood and a pungent smell of gasoline all around.
Xu Chengyan moved his wrist a little numbly, and suddenly noticed that his fingertips touched a cold hard object, subconsciously touched it, and found that it was a mobile phone.
With his fingertips attached to the cold phone, Xu Chengyan touched the phone, but his arm was stuck and he couldn't get the phone over.
Xu Chengyan panted heavily, looked to the side, and lightly touched the screen with his fingertips.
The phone is automatically unlocked, and a low battery reminder pops up on the screen.
Only then did Xu Chengyan remember that he forgot to charge last night, but brought a power bank.
It's just that now the power bank doesn't know where it fell, and the phone's power doesn't know how long it can last.
In a narrow and dark environment, only the mobile phone screen was lit with a faint light.
Xu Chengyan stretched out his hand with some effort, almost trembling, and clicked on the dial interface.
But my body is out of strength, and I can't even do the dialing action, so I can only press the speed dial button—
It's Mr.'s number.
Meanwhile, in the game room of the houseboat.
He Yang leaned against the sofa while playing chess with Shen Xiuzhu.
After a while, Chi Yi shouted at the gaming table, "Young Master He, would you like to play a few games?"
He Yang didn't answer, just looked up at Shen Xiuzhu.
"It's okay." Shen Xiuzhu smiled, "I'll just stay by myself."
He Yang responded with a sound, then got up, took the wine glass from the table, and walked towards the gambling table.
Shen Xiuzhu put away the chess and sat leisurely on the sofa alone, holding a glass of hot milk and drinking slowly.
Suddenly, Shen Xiuzhu heard the sound of the phone vibrating, and when he looked to the side, he saw a black phone left on the sofa, and a call came in.
It was He Yang's cell phone.
Shen Xiuzhu reached for the phone and found that the call was from Xu Chengyan.
The phone was still vibrating, Shen Xiuzhu looked at the words "Xu Chengyan" on the screen, and moved his fingertips casually.
Then, he hung up the phone without hesitation.
