Two glasses of boiled water

  With a "pu" sound, I heard Xiaoxian's "heh heh" laughter by my ear, and I was so embarrassed that I couldn't help it. I really didn't expect that Xiaoxian would also be a rotten girl.

  "Don't talk nonsense." I lowered my voice, and the surrounding classmates seemed to have heard my discussion with Fan Jianqiang, followed by another burst of laughter.

  "I didn't say anything wrong, I'm telling the truth!" Fan Jianqiang lowered his head even further and continued to ask me: "Do you know Li Wei from the Student Union?"

  "Do you know him? How did you know I knew him?" I was a bit surprised, and Fan Jianqiang said: "You know what? Li Wei has been coming to the classroom door to wait for you recently. For the past few days when you didn't come, he's always done this. I asked him who he was looking for before, and he said he had to see you in person, or else he wouldn't be at peace."

  "I'm speechless." At that time, I and my little friends were stunned. "I remember he had my phone number, why didn't he just call me? Did he have to do it this way?"

  "How was I supposed to know what's going on?" Fan Jianqiang had an expression of not being concerned, then he smiled slyly and said, "I thought you two were having some kind of conflict, haha."

  "I'm going to roll." After saying this sentence, I compared the middle finger with Fan Jianqiang. When it was time for class, I hurried out of the classroom and called Li Wei on the phone.

  Li Wei quickly picked up, his tone couldn't help but reveal his excitement, "Brother, you've finally come to find me! I miss you so much!"

  As soon as I heard this, I hung up the phone. If you don't seek death, you won't die. We're the same sex, how can we fall in love?

  As expected, Li Wei quickly called back and explained in a hurry: "Brother, I was just kidding. I have something to ask you."

  "Just say it if you have something to say, now everyone in the class thinks that we are a couple." I said speechlessly.

  "It's like this, I knew you've been busy with a lot of troublesome things lately, so I didn't bother you. This time I'm looking for you, I want to ask for your help, and if I don't bring it up in person, it would be pointless even if I said something. So I've been waiting for you to come to school these past few days."

  "It was like that," I relaxed my vigilance at the time, thinking that Li Wei had helped me a lot, and said, "Just say what's on your mind, as long as brother can help, he will definitely do his best to assist."

  "Ah ha, thanks in advance."

  "What's with the thanks? Spit it out, what do you want me to do?" I said generously, this feeling was really great.

  "Can you come with me for a trip?" Li Wei asked.

  "Maybe is maybe, when?"

  "These past few nights have been okay." Li Wei sighed and said.

  "Alright then, tomorrow night it is, I need to spend some quality time with my sister tonight."

  "It's done."

  "What did you say you were going to my house for?" I asked curiously.

  "You'll know when you get here. Alright, I'm counting on you, brother." Li Wei said sincerely, and at the time I didn't think much of it, so I just agreed with a nod.

  I hung up the phone and returned to the classroom, but I didn't know how my classmates in the classroom knew that I was talking to Li Wei on the phone, and suddenly there was a burst of noise.

  I returned to my seat with a throbbing head, deciding to turn a deaf ear to the outside world and focus solely on reading the classics: so I pulled out "Jin Ping Mei" from my backpack.

  Fan Jianqiang started asking me again if I had contacted Li Wei, I pretended not to hear anything and continued to appreciate the content of the book with relish. Fan Jianqiang also lost interest and played with his phone by himself.

  In the last class in the morning, Fan Jianqiang asked me again: "How come Chen Xiao hasn't arrived yet? I remember that you two haven't been to class together for several days. Have you already won her over, brother?"

  "Ah, I want to settle it too, but not that fast." Actually, at this moment, I was happy. Chen Fei had come back to life, and the hope of being with Chen Xiao became very big. These days she should be staying home to accompany Chen Fei and won't be coming to class.

  I took a look at the time on my phone and it's almost weekend, can I ask her out to go shopping this time? She shouldn't refuse, let me try.

  Just as I was about to send a text message to Chen Xiao to make a reservation, my phone suddenly received a message. When I looked at it, it turned out to be from Li Jie: "I heard that the matter of breaking the curse has been resolved?"

  "I immediately replied: 'Yeah, it's all settled, thanks to your help, sis.'"

  "How about going out for a meal?" Lijie invited. I thought it wouldn't be a big deal if I didn't go back at noon, so I agreed: "Is Lijie treating me to dinner?"

  Lijia was unhappy now, "I'm not going to treat a freeloader like you. You should be the one treating me after I helped you."

  I thought about it and indeed that's what happened, damn it, I almost became a white-eyed wolf. So I agreed to take her out for a good meal.

  At 12:30, near the back door of the school, in a hot pot restaurant. This hot pot restaurant is called Xiang Mei Hot Pot, it's a restaurant that I didn't dare to try before because the consumption is too high for me, with an average cost per person over one hundred yuan, can't afford it.

  Now, with the great prosperity of socialism, I have run into a well-off life, and there are still tens of thousands of yuan in my card, which can be spent at will without any problem.

  After entering the restaurant, I found that Lijie had arrived early. She beckoned to me and when I approached, I saw that there was another girl with glasses next to her, who seemed to be around my age. Her glasses were large and she wore a cute pink-framed pair, with a bit of baby fat, mushroom head, and wore pretty clothes, but...her chest was somewhat underdeveloped.

  I sat opposite them and asked Lijie who this beauty was. Lijie pretended to be angry and said, "I knew you were a lecher."

  "How could it be!" I ate a mouthful, the beautiful woman lowered her head and didn't dare to look at me, her face slightly red. Lijie continued to say without any scruples: "There's a saying online that is indeed correct, men are really not good things, after seeing a beauty, except for their heart being soft, other places are hard!"

  I suddenly felt the sky was shaking, a bolt of lightning struck me and I was burned all over: Lijie, dare you to be even more shameless?

  I was shocked, and Lijie suddenly burst out laughing. She introduced me to her cousin, who also attends our school, so she brought her over for me to meet.

  For this kind of cousin, I quickly thought of a sentence: Nothing tastes better than seafood, nothing is more fun than a cousin. This girl seems to be quite shy, so her brother can only tease her a bit.

  I stretched out my hand and took the initiative to shake hands with her, introducing myself: "Hello, I'm Hao Shuang, Hao from Hao Shuang, Shuang from Hao Shuang. What's your name?"

  "Little, little Qī Mèi." The beautiful woman's voice was a bit husky, she stretched out her hand and gently grasped mine, her face burning with fever.

  "Little Seventh Sister? What a nice name, is it a nickname?" I showed my gentlemanly demeanor and let go of her hand, no longer holding onto it. Lijie said: "Seventh Sister is her pen name, she's a literature enthusiast and writes too."

  "What's written? What's it say?" This type of girl I've never seen before, and suddenly I'm interested. Lijie was just about to tell me, but Qimei interrupted, "Sister, don't speak crudely!"

  Qī mèi hěn shì jǐn zhāng, dān chún de ràng rén bù dé bù xīn shēng lián ài, wǒ zài xiǎng, tā gāi bù huì zài xiě mǒu zhǒng jiàn bu dé de dōng xi ba? Tīng shuō nǚ shēng hěn ài kàn nán shēng gǎo jī, nán bù chéng tā xiě de jiù shì —— dì xīōng hé gē gē zhī jiān de chún ài gù shì?

  Forget it, I shouldn't think about this, I won't think about this. To show my gentlemanly demeanor, I didn't pursue the matter further.

  After chatting for a while, our hot pot dishes were all served, and the three of us happily ate together. With Lijie around, there was never an awkward silence, and Xiaoxi no longer seemed as reserved as before, starting to chat with us about various topics.

  After eating, Xiaomei said she had to go home and update her writing, couldn't be late. Lijie sent her back first. I also wanted to say I was going back, but Lijie called me: "Wait for me at Xihewan Park, I want to talk to you about something important, after sending her back I'll arrive immediately."

  Is there something important? Maybe she needs help from me, after all she has helped me so much before, I couldn't just ignore her, so I agreed.

  This time Lijie came in her own car. On the side of the highway, she saw her off into the distance, then started walking towards Xihewan Park.

  It's been really hot lately, and I don't even feel like using the air conditioner. Xihua Park isn't too far from the hot pot restaurant, I took the bus for two stops and arrived. After arriving at the park, I found a water bar to sit down, and the waiter asked me what I wanted.

  I had originally wanted to let him pay, but when I touched my pocket, I suddenly remembered that I had spent all the cash while eating hot pot earlier. I could only say softly to the waiter: "Bring a glass of plain water."

  The waiter had a bead of sweat on his forehead, "Anything else?"

  I thickened my skin and said: "Just temporarily click on this first, if needed, I'll find you."

  The waiter still wouldn't give up, "Sir, are you sure you don't want any other drinks?"

  I thought for a moment, took the menu from the waiter's hand, and the waiter showed a delighted expression. Half a minute later, I handed the menu back to him and said: "One more glass of boiled water, two glasses in total, thank you."

  The waiter's face was full of black lines, and if he had a knife in his hand, he would definitely kill me with one stab without hesitation. The waiter took two steps, and I suddenly thought of something and called him back, "Handsome guy, wait a minute."

  The waiter's face lit up with delight again, and he returned respectfully, asking me in a low voice: "Sir, do you need anything else? This time please get straight to the point."

  I said: "Remember to add ice in the plain water, it's too hot today."

  Waiter: “......”

  I sat drinking iced water. Since the bar had air conditioning, I was still very comfortable at this moment. Half an hour later, Lijie finally arrived.

  She sat across from me with a blank expression, I couldn't guess what she was thinking, but somehow I felt that she seemed to be a little angry.

  "Lijie, do you want to say something to me?" I felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward and asked first. At this time, the waiter came forward inopportunely and asked, "Miss, what can I get for you?"

  The waitress was about to hand over the menu when Lijie quickly flipped through two pages and handed it back, saying coldly, "A glass of iced water, with ice."

  I guess the waiters were all desperate, running into us two weirdos, it's like they've had bad luck. I asked Lijie, "Lijie, what do you want to say?"

  "Don't you have any feelings for me?" Lijie quickly picked up on my question. But I was struck by lightning and couldn't say a word.
