If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

The heavy rain continued until midnight. At twelve o'clock in the night, Chu Zihang walked to the lawn outside his house. The entire Peacock Mansion was quiet and could only hear the rustle of fallen leaves in the rain. Every five meters on both sides of the path. A white light is on, arranged from one end of the line of sight to the other end of the line of sight. The white lights merge together at the end and it is impossible to tell whether it is left or right.

Peacock Mansion is a high-end community even in the center of the city. When that man was still there, he, his mother and himself could only sit in a crowded B\u0026B, and were woken up every morning by the old lady next door doing morning exercises. Save money on buying an alarm clock. In addition to paying Chu Zihang's tuition, that man's meager salary didn't leave much for the family's daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. If he hadn't claimed to be very familiar with the landlady and the landlady, Chu Zihang's family probably wouldn't even have a bed and breakfast at that time. No one had a place to stay, so the family of three had to go to the park to pitch a tent.

In Chu Zihang's memory, the time spent in the B\u0026B was always tight, but still very happy. When he was young, he always regarded that man as a dragon rider, and he was the one who defeated the dragon. The dragon-slaying hero, holding Ultraman's electric light stick, rode on the man's neck, screamed randomly, and spanked him. The man could only scream and crawl cautiously in a room of dozens of square meters, worrying that his mother would touch him. Cosmetics that cost more than a month’s salary were knocked off.

Once the activities between father and son make the mother unhappy, she will complain about the man's salary. Who told the man to trick his mother into getting married? The light on his body was as bright as an exploding supernova, but in the end he caught her and got married, Chu Zi After the flight landed, the supernova faded into a three-dollar LED light hanging on the street.

So when his mother complains about him, he knows he is wrong but never talks back. When complained, he goes out without saying a word. There is a problem with the soundproofing. The neighbor’s old lady doing morning exercises can always hear the couple quarreling. When the quarrel gets too loud, she slams the door and leaves. She thought that the man was going to jump into the river out of his mind, but every time before she even called the fire alarm, she would see the man running back with a bag of fresh braised intestines and eating them. She probably rushed out of the house at the beginning. I made a plan to beg for mercy with delicious food.

It was also a sight to see ghosts. Even now, when Chu Zihang recalled that man, apart from the violence that he threw at the gods on a typhoon and rainy night, he was the only one who opened the door and carried a bag of hot braised intestines and asked the young self if he would eat it. I always feel that others hope that their children will become dragons, but he hopes that his children will become supermen?

Across the lawn in front of the house, the hidden sprinkler sprinkled water all over Chu Zihang in a circular motion. Fortunately, he was wearing a raincoat so that he wouldn't be doused before he got home. The lights in the garage were turned off, 'Dad' Work problems probably won't come back tonight. This is normal. A lot of foreign capital has poured into this coastal city in the past six months. Many entrepreneurs are interested in injecting capital into this city. Most of them are interested in the entertainment industry to create traffic stars. They probably want to build this place into an entertainment, film and television industry. What Cheng meant was that during the first half of the third year of high school, many talent scouts had approached Chu Zihang at the entrance of Shilan Middle School, but they were all declined by him.

After opening the door, the house was quiet, the chandelier was not turned on, and the stove fire in the kitchen was cold. It seemed that Aunt Tong, who had been doing housekeeping in their house, had gone back from get off work. There was no life in the very spacious house all year round. When the family of three was at home, , 'Dad' most often sits in front of the TV and cares about current affairs. Mom takes off her shoes and nests on the sofa to browse the e-commerce website on her mobile phone to buy herself a nice bag, while Chu Zihang watches quietly. Watching all this like an outsider.

The most lively time in the house is when my mother's girlfriends and girlfriends get together to have a party. They always pull Chu Zihang out as a mascot and put it on the sofa. When they get drunk, they will use the makeup box to touch him. He said he was going to dress up as a girl and go out to catch other handsome boys. At this time, he would always use the excuse of studying to leave, which is very consistent with his character. In the eyes of others, he has always been a boy who studies too much, and the aunts can't stop him. They can only complain and say, Xiaoyan, you are The child is still indifferent! Mom would always pounce on them and scratch them, laughing and saying, "You guys should have one too if you have the guts!"

Chu Zihang walked to the sofa and smelled a strong smell of alcohol. There were leftover chocolate wrappers and wine bottles all over the floor. Naked bodies were lying on the sofa that surrounded half of the living room. When he saw Chu Zihang in the past, The beautiful aunts who were still holding the shoulder straps reservedly were lying in various corners of the sofa, sound asleep, and they did not shy away from letting the beauty of the house leak out. The wine bottles stood on the table as if they were having an Oktoberfest, and there were a lot of them. Candy melon seeds are scattered under the table. You can imagine that some auntie was happy and picked them up to make a goddess scatter flowers.

Chu Zihang turned around and looked at other places in the house. Aunt Tong had cleaned them up, except this area which had not been touched. This was normal. Aunt Tong was an old employee of many households in this community. , I have summed up some of my own survival experiences in these years.

The things on these rich ladies in the house are very valuable. The bracelets and bags lying around cost tens or hundreds of thousands. If they are lost and she has just packed them up, they will always be annoying. How about she just not touch the mess here when she is cleaning up. The host will not worry about it when she wakes up and finds that everything around her is the same as when she fell asleep. When the time comes, she will always find Bulgari's ring or something hidden in the blanket if she cleans it carefully. Gucci cufflinks, she won't be scolded at that time, but it will make the owner more attractive, and they will continue to hire her next year. She will also have money to support her daughter who is still in college and her monthly expenses are rising. .

It rained heavily outside the window again. Chu Zihang closed the windows and doors to prevent the cold wind from blowing in and making his mother and aunts catch a cold. He went up to the second floor to find a few quilts and blankets to cover them one by one. He picked them up and put the wine bottle into an empty box, so as not to have trouble sleeping in the smell of wine. During this period, he picked up an empty glass with a milky smell in it, and immediately felt relieved, because it meant My mother drank milk before going to bed tonight.

After cleaning up the mess, Chu Zihang closed the curtains to prevent the beautiful scene in the room from being exposed to the eyes of passers-by. After finishing everything, he went upstairs and returned to his room. He opened the drawer of the bookshelf and found several books lying inside. Old mobile phone.

Their used electronic equipment will not be recycled. Firstly, they are afraid that the data inside will be restored and stolen by someone who is interested. Secondly, 'Dad' himself is not short of money. Every time he replaces the old equipment with a new one, he has not used it yet. , it would be a pity to throw them away, so I kept a few spare mobile phones in the drawer without realizing it.

Chu Zihang’s last mobile phone was the Meizu M8 he bought last year. At that time, there was a craze for domestically produced products in society. Many people were proud to use domestically produced electronic equipment and vehicles. If you use a Nissan car, you will be despised or even smashed by the public. ‘Dad’ also followed suit and replaced his old mobile phone with the domestically produced Meizu M8. It didn’t take long for him to get used to the fact that the M8 was hot to use, so he replaced it with the previous iPhone 3.

From this point of view, the iPhone that was destroyed by Wan Boqian forced him to update it and continue to use the new phone.

The card removal needle poked open the SIM card reader. Chu Zihang took out the phone card recovered from the old mobile phone from his bag and put it in. He connected the charger and sat beside the bed and waited quietly for about five minutes. He long pressed the power button to turn on the phone. , the phone plays the startup animation, and successfully enters the desktop ten seconds later. The APP and layout are the same as before, and there is no sense of unfamiliarity.

But before Chu Zihang could proceed further, the background of his mobile phone reminded him that he had received a new text message.

The prompt passed by in a flash, and Chu Zihang only had time to see the name of the sender - Lin Nian.

His pupils were shaking, his heartbeat skipped a beat, and the blood all over his body was involuntarily speeding up. If Wan Boqian were around, she would probably laugh at him for actually being in love, because this symptom would only appear when he saw the girl he had a crush on replying to his text message. , provided that what you receive after clicking on the message is not a short sentence: I went to take a shower, that’s all.

Wan Boqian can be said to be Chu Zihang's lucky star - even though she fired a shot at Chu Zihang, fortunately, the shot was deflected and it didn't cause any unpleasantness, right?

For half a year, all Chu Zihang's inquiries were in vain. Sometimes, the more he looked at Lin Nian's profile picture with blue sky and white clouds, the more he felt that the message he sent was like a kite with its string cut off. When the strong wind blows, it will fly thousands of miles away in the United States. There are no shadows in the steel jungle. No one can tell whether they will float to the sky above the other party's head, or whether the other party will really raise their head and take a look.

But tonight Wan Boqian said that Lin Nian would take the initiative to contact Chu Zihang, and Chu Zihang actually received a letter from the other party as soon as he returned home. Thinking about it, it was not a big loss to be censused by the other party for no reason.

Chu Zihang clicked on the text message pop-up window almost the moment before it disappeared. When his phone switched to the text message page, the message about reconnecting with each other after half a year popped up.

Senior brother, I'm back from abroad. I'll probably get off the plane tomorrow morning and plan to invite some old classmates to get together in the private room of Fuyuan Restaurant. I'll treat them. The time will be around noon tomorrow. You should know where the restaurant for the dinner is. If you don’t know, ask me to send you the location. If you have time, we can come together - 10:30

The text message was sent an hour and a half ago. At that time, Chu Zihang should be hailing a taxi on the street in heavy rain. Fortunately, he was used to bringing some cash when he went out, otherwise he would have seen this text message even later.

But for some reason, Chu Zihang felt that there was a strange and unfamiliar smell in the text message.

He looked at every word in the text message, chewing and trying to restore in his mind what the boy's expression must have been like when he said these words, but unfortunately he couldn't.

Because since he got to know the other person, the word "treat" must be separated in the other person's dictionary to pronounce it, just like the word "good night". When read in half, it means: sooner or later, arrange for someone to kill you——" The word "treat" should never come out of the other person's mouth or hands!

Chu Zihang seems to have some shadow of this Fuyuan Restaurant in his mind. He remembers that the address should be on a street near Shilan Middle School. It is a mid-to-high-end restaurant. During the team building of Shilan Middle School, the principal will invite outstanding people. Teachers eat there. When passing by the hotel during vacation, they can always see the principal holding a Maotai bottle in one hand and holding on to a telephone pole while vomiting. The principal's secretary next to him pats him on the back and wipes his mouth.

Kassel Academy is really a magical place. It not only allows students to take out a Glock in the city, but also allows them to eat the meals that Lin Nian treated at Fuyuan Restaurant.

The weirdness of Kassel College in Chu Zihang's heart was not only stronger but also stronger.
