Chapter 107 Boyfriend

"Handsome guy, thank you for what happened just now. Let me buy you a beer." The girl held a can of cold beer in her hand and stood beside Qi Nuliang who was turning over the skewers in full swing.

Just now she and her two sisters were eating kebabs by the river, and they met a group of bastards who were drunk and struck up a conversation.Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, an arm covered in tattoos reached out and suddenly grabbed the hand that was trying to reach out to the girl.

The man said in a low voice: "What are you doing, you want to make trouble in my territory?"

The bastard looked at the man's colorful and strong arms, and then at the well-developed chest muscles exposed under the sweaty T-shirt. He weighed it a bit, and finally withdrew his hand and walked away in a hurry.

The girl who had just been rescued came to thank him at this time, but Qi Nuliang just used his arms to block her away.There was an order list hanging in front of his eyes, and he was so busy that he wished he could grow two more arms.

"No, I'm not free right now."

The girl looked at his handsome, masculine face under his sweaty short hair: "When will you be free, or I'll treat you to dinner?"

"You don't have to be so polite, you should."

"Leave a call to the head office?"

"The phone is not here."

"...Handsome guy, you are boring, are you looking down on people?"

Qi Nuliang wiped the sweat that flowed down his eyebrows, and took advantage of this short gap to glance at the girl.She was stylishly dressed, with heavy make-up, and a very young face underneath.

Qi Nuliang turned around and turned the skewer in his hand again: "I didn't mean that. It's true that I didn't bring my mobile phone with me, and I really couldn't remember the phone number with the new phone card. In this way, put the beer aside Well, I'll drink later when I'm free. Go home early with your friends after eating, it's not safe to be late."

The girl put the beer on the vegetable stand next to him, and returned to her seat with a complicated expression.

As soon as summer comes, the street next to the small river ditch in Hongcheng turns into a food street, and the most stalls are barbecue and food stalls.

Set up a simple small table, eat some grilled cold dishes, and serve it with cold beer, and the river breeze blows in the summer night. This is the unique leisurely atmosphere in the hearts of ordinary people in Hongcheng.

But Qi Nuliang was not in the mood to enjoy this leisure, so within a few days after he came back, he found a job as a barbecue master.3000 yuan per month, from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] pm.

The boss, surnamed Zhou, is in charge of grocery shopping.He came over at four o'clock in the afternoon, prepared the dishes with Boss Zhou and two waitress girls, and officially opened the stall at six o'clock.Although the hours from seven to ten were too busy to catch my breath, fortunately, it was only a few hours, and overall it was not too tiring.

Jiang Yu asked him to rest at home for a few months, and he could find a job after he went to college, but Qi Nuliang had his own ideas.

During this period of time wandering around the daily chemical factory, I always listened to other people's chats. Apart from talking about demolition, it was gossip about who and who married wives and daughters. The most mentioned by these people was the house.It was only then that Qi Nuliang realized that to get married now, only a house would be appreciated by others, and the best thing to pay back is a new building in the new city.

For Jiang Yu, this matter is still early, but at least it shows that there are still more places to spend money in the future, so it is a little bit to earn a little more.

When it was nearly eleven o'clock, there were finally fewer new arrivals, and Qi Nuliang finally freed his hand to smoke a cigarette.

He cleaned up the vegetable stalls in front of him with a cigarette in his mouth. Many types were empty, and asked, "Brother Zhou, are there any vegetables in the freezer?"

"It's gone, that's all for today, close the stall after baking."

Qi Nuliang saw the beer still lying beside the vegetable stand, picked it up and took a sip.Because it is close to the charcoal fire, the cold beer is already warm in the mouth.He glanced at the girl who brought him wine, and they were sitting by the river chatting.

This was not the first time, during this period of time, quite a few girls came to him asking for their phone numbers, but he didn't give any of them.Not having the phone with him, and not being able to remember the number is one thing, but the other thing is that he is leaving soon, no matter what happens, he can't mess with it.

"elder brother."

Qi Nuliang turned his head and saw Jiang Yu: "Here we come."

Jiang Yu was wearing Hongzhong's summer uniform, white T-shirt and dark blue trousers. He stood tall and stood aside. He looked refreshed and cleared away the smoke from the barbecue stall.

"Are you done?"

"Hurry up, there are still two or three tables left." Qi Nuliang looked back at the clock you hung in the store, "It's a little late, why don't you go back by yourself first and go to bed early."

"It's okay, I'll wait for you."

"Ah Liang, you go first, there are not many people left, I will clean up later." Boss Zhou said.

"Then I'll finish those off the grill."

"Xiao Jiang, is there anything you want to eat? Let your brother bake it for you." The boss took two chicken legs and a squid and put them within Qi Nuliang's reach. roasting."

"I don't need it, thank you Brother Zhou."

"Eat, it's so late at night, you must be hungry." Boss Zhou said, and then put the sausage and bean curd on Qi Nuliang's side, "I've heard from your brother that you are No. 1 in Hongzhong. .[-]. It takes a lot of time to study, eat some of Brother Zhou’s barbecue. If you get admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University in the future, I can tell people that you got admitted by eating my barbecue, haha.”

People in small towns respect government officials first, and college students second.Respecting an official is fear, but respecting college students is yearning, yearning for knowledge, culture and a better life.Jiang Yu is not yet a college student, but everyone in Hongcheng knows that stepping into Hongzhong means that one leg has entered the threshold of university.Therefore, as long as they are students of Hongzhong, they are especially favored in this world.

Jiang Yu had learned to be reserved a long time ago, and he was unwilling to accept other people's kindness for nothing, until Qi Nuliang said, "You can take what you want to eat, and I will pay for it."

Jiang Yu just picked up a few of his favorite foods, and also took a chicken drumstick.

"Hey, you guys are really different."

"Brother Zhou, one size counts for one size. The child is still studying, so we can't let him learn to get something for nothing."

"You really, what are you doing more than this?" Having said that, Qi Nuliang still accepted it from Boss Qian Zhou, and sighed, "You taught your younger brother well, my younger brother is still in his twenties and still achieves nothing. , I know asking me for money every day, I'm really pissed off compared to others."

The last wave was for Jiang Yu.After roasting, Qi Nuliang went to the store to wash his face and change clothes.Jiang Yu hung the barbecue on the handlebar of the bicycle and waited for him by the side of the road.

One of the girls who didn't give up came to Jiang Yu's side: "Do you know the handsome guy who was grilling just now?"

Jiang Yu turned his head and looked her up and down coldly.

"Know, what's wrong?"

"Who is he to you?"

"Is it related to you?"

The girl was choked and a little speechless.But there are more important things to ask for my sister, so I decided not to fuss with this kid.

"I'm just asking for my friend if he's married, if he has a girlfriend, etc."

"I don't have a girlfriend, but I have a boyfriend. Is there anything else I want to ask?"

"..." It took two seconds for the girl to come back to her senses, and she couldn't help but half-open her mouth, "You mean you, you..."

"We are a couple, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, sorry to bother you."

The girl ran away, ran back to the river, said a few words to the other two girls, and followed the three of them to look at Jiang Yu.

"what's the topic?"

Qi Nuliang changed his clothes, put his arms around Jiang Yu's shoulders, and told him to leave together.

"Talking about you, I asked if you have a girlfriend, and I want your mobile phone number." Jiang Yu turned his head and carefully observed Qi Nuliang's expression.

"You didn't give it to them, did you?"

"I don't have so many things."

"Hey, the little girl is just playing around. But girls nowadays are pretty bold. Back then, there were no girls who would take the initiative to ask a guy for his number."

"Do you think it's better to be a reserved girl or a bold one?"

The more Qi Nuliang listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. It seemed that nothing he said was right. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration: "Whether they are reserved or bold, it has nothing to do with me?" , called Jiang Yu, "Come up, let's go."

Jiang Yu jumped up after two steps, hugged Qi Nuliang's waist, stuck to his back, and raised his legs.

In the summer night, the cumin-smelling wind hit his face, blowing away the depression he had been burying himself in the test paper from morning to night.

"Why are you hugging so tightly, isn't it hot?"

Jiang Yu quickly let go, but said without any panic: "I'm afraid you'll knock me down."

This reminded Qi Nuliang of the embarrassing incident when he rode too fast a few nights ago and knocked Jiang Yu off the back seat of the bicycle when crossing the speed bump of the road.

"If you say no, you won't. You still don't believe me."

When the car turned around these two bustling snack streets and entered a deserted street, Jiang Yu got off the back seat.

"Are you going to run today?"

"Ah."

"Aren't you tired after studying for a day?"

"The teacher said that it is necessary to combine movement and stillness, and exercise can help improve learning efficiency."

"Don't make yourself too tired." Qi Nuliang was a little worried.

"I know."

Jiang Yu has been running with Qi Nuliang's bicycle for almost a month.From the very beginning, he was out of breath when he could only run halfway. No matter how slowed down Qi Nuliang was, he couldn't catch up. Now he was able to run home in one breath without panting.

Fat is not fat, but the body is obviously stronger, and the weight has increased by several catties.

When he got home, he ate barbecue, and Qi Nuliang went to take a bath first.

After Qi Nuliang finished washing, he had almost rested, it was time to wash and go to bed.

He was washing, Qi Nuliang patted the door of the bathroom: "Xiao Yu, my dirty clothes are still in the sink, open the door and let me take them."

"I'll take it out for you later."

"Hand it out to me, I'll wash it now."

"Don't you need a washing machine?"

"I rubbed such a small amount of clothes in two strokes. The washing machine has to be washed until midnight." Qi Nuliang patted the door twice again, "Did you hear that?"

"I also have clothes to wash, and I'll put them in the washing machine together later. Let it wash, and you can dry them tomorrow"

"...that's fine too." Qi Nuliang walked away rubbing his head.He was a little puzzled, how important is it to hand him dirty clothes, and he didn't know what this kid was doing.

Not long after, Jiang Yu held the dirty clothes of the two of them and stretched out his head first.Seeing that Qi Nuliang was not in the living room, he hurriedly took the clothes and put them in the washing machine, and let the washing machine destroy all the evidence for him.

Go back to the room and lie down on the bed. It was a very busy and fulfilling day. Only at this time can the body and mind really relax. In the gradually thickening drowsiness, I no longer need to think about how to solve the problem, but only think about Qi Nuliang wholeheartedly. Sleep next door.

He couldn't hold back, but he no longer blamed himself.He knows what's wrong with him, and dissatisfaction is just a side effect of unrequited love.

It's just that he thinks some things too simply, and suppressing feelings is as difficult as suppressing instinct.Sometimes he even has hallucinatory delusions, what if he expresses his heart to Qi Nuliang, what if he can be understood and forgiven?

After all, Qi Nuliang also "loves" him so much.

How big is the gulf between different loves?After the exam is over, he can at least try it out.
