Hong Xiqi sneered and retorted without hesitation, "Sister, you didn't say gossiping about others was bad just a second ago, why are you gossiping again now? What a double standard!"
Ding Dongyi glanced at Hong Xiqi and said calmly, "I asked Tao You in person. I didn't discuss others behind their backs."
"Is there any difference between this?!" Hong Xiqi was unconvinced and even found Ding Dongyi's behavior even more annoying.
"Hey, I heard that Zhou Moyang invited you before, right? Why did you refuse? But to be honest, the suit he wore was not even remotely close to Song Yimian's. If you want me, I refuse too." Ding Dongyi continued as if he was unaware of the emotional changes of the two people in front of him.
"You!" Hong Xiqi was so angry that she slapped the table, glanced at Ding Dongyi, pulled Tao You to leave, "A real man doesn't care about villains!"
Tao You frowned, feeling like he didn't even recognize the mean-tongued girl in front of him.
"Wait a minute." Tao You seemed to be nailed to the chair, and Hong Xiqi couldn't pull her away.
Tao You grabbed Hong Xiqi with his backhand, glanced at Ding Dongyi up and down, and said with disgust, "Are you okay? I heard others say you are uneducated before, but it turns out it's true... "
In an instant, Ding Dongyi's face was full of anger. She glared at Tao You fiercely and gritted her teeth and said, "Who are you calling uneducated?" After less than five seconds, she blinked quickly and tried to contain the anger that was about to explode in her heart. The anger burst out, and the veins on his neck bulged vaguely due to the forced suppression. Tao You watched her rapid change of mood in surprise, feeling that she was too scary.
The corner of Ding Dongyi's mouth twitched slightly, trying to sound calm, with a hint of suppressed anger in his tone, "Why, no one wants to tell the truth anymore? Zhou Moyang is not as good as Song Yimian, and he doesn't even know what kind of clothes he is wearing. I borrowed it from some second-hand store, it looks shabby."
——What a good tell the truth.
The little flame in Tao You's heart was rising, and she corrected her seriously, "I admit that Song Yimian's own conditions are very superior, but there are thousands of ordinary people in the world, just talking about the classmates in our school. It's more or less the same as Song Yimian, ordinary and ordinary are the common states of a high school student."
"Zhou Moyang is not a model, and this is not a major party. There are not a few people who are not wearing formal clothes," Tao You said, pointing to the classmates in the back row who were wearing casual clothes and playing games, "Why don't you say anything about them? Punk, rock, non-mainstream, and people wearing smoky makeup. According to what you said, none of these looks are in line with what you think today’s party should look like.”
Ding Dongyi knew who Tao You was referring to without looking. When I turned in a blank paper for the exam and was in a good mood, I might even draw a decent-looking bastard on the paper to show to the marking teacher. I skipped class every day and hung out in bars, got into fights, smoked, drank, and had my hair permed. I did all the things that were not allowed by the school rules. Every time, other students would take a detour when they saw them, but they still had the guts to stand in front of them and set rules for them by naming them.
"You, what are you doing involving them?" A trace of disgust flashed in Ding Dongyi's eyes, and he opened the exercise book, wanting to bring this topic to an end. "Just think of it as a joke, don't take it so seriously."
"Are you talking?!" Tao You was completely irritated by her short and perfunctory words, "Is this fun?! Zhou Moyang provoked you, why do you need to attack him personally?! This is just a person The activities held within the school are not business dinners, and there are no social elites. What are you doing with so many vain things!" Tao You opened his small mouth and kept outputting, not giving Ding Dongyi any chance to refute. "There are so many clothes that don't fit, how dare you guarantee that there isn't a single old piece of clothing in your wardrobe that you can't wear?! How come there are so many that you are ugly and I'm pretty!"
"Where does that sense of superiority come from?! Don't look if you don't want to, no one is begging you to look!" Tao You stood up and pulled Hong Xiqi, who was still in a daze, walked a few steps and looked back, and finally said, "Why did you ask me just now? I won’t partner with Zhou Moyang, because I already had a partner before he said it. Yes, that’s right, he’s the one you’re thinking of.” Tao You saw Ding Dongyi’s expression in his eyes and didn’t wait for her to speak. He stopped her and said, "As for how to convince Song Yimian, tsk, I'm really inexperienced in this. He invited me." Tao You smiled slightly.
, seeing Ding Dongyi's face darken, he shrugged innocently, "Don't be angry, why don't you tell the truth? It's just a partner, just for fun, why are you so serious?"
She returned this sentence to Ding Dongyi, rolled her eyes and pulled Hong Xiqi to the other corner to sit down.

At the same time, at the school gate, strong winds were blowing, leaves were fluttering and accumulated a thick layer on the ground, and the lights and shadows on the street were swaying. This was the coldest night in Wei City this winter.
A man wearing a black down jacket, a small brown leather coat underneath, a black wire hat on his head, and an unshaven beard was dealing with Uncle Zhang in the security room with an anxious look on his face.
"Uncle, please let me in." The man pointed to the black bag on his back, and took out his work ID card tremblingly with coldness. "I'm really here to take pictures. This is my work ID card, as well as my camera, Camera, I really didn’t lie to you!”
Uncle Zhang was unmoved, lying on the rocking chair, taking a long look at the man through the half-open window, and then turned his gaze back to the tablet in front of him, but refused to open the door, "If you really are the photographer you invited, Why did you come here after the party was over? You didn’t even find a technical reason to lie to people. Do you really think that my old man is too old to lie to you?!"
The man stamped his feet anxiously, pointed to the words on the work permit, and said word by word, "Look, it clearly says, Vault, Light Gravity Photography Building. I am really here to take pictures. Why don't you believe it?" What?! I finally got a job, and it’s quite cold today..." He warmed his hands while breathing heavily, playing the emotional card.
Uncle Zhang hummed along with the opera on the tablet, took the time to glance at the man, "I don't care about your vault, what's the cold weather, so many people are still working. Don't think I don't know, this kind of work card , you can find anyone online to do it. Today is not a school open day, and no outsiders are allowed in."
"Uncle Zhang," I thought the aunt was coming with a thermos box and stood aside to say hello to Uncle Zhang.
Uncle Zhang stood up, took the remote control, put on a heavy military green coat, handed the signature sheet to the aunt, and said hello with a smile, "Why are you so late today? Is the child feeling better?"
After the aunt signed her name, she nodded and said, "Much better. I worked overtime at work today, so I had no choice but to go home and quickly cook the medicine. I originally thought that the child would be out of school in a few hours, so I planned to wait for him to come home before drinking it. , I won’t drink the packet before going to bed. Tsk, think about it again, there are still a few hours left, if I am delayed by illness, I’d better come and see it off.”
Uncle Zhang pressed the remote control to open the door and responded, "Yes, yes, yes, the child's illness cannot be delayed, and high school studies are tight. We adults should be busy if we are busy."
The man wanted to sneak in after him, but before he had taken a few steps, Uncle Zhang quickly grabbed the back of his clothes and slipped out of the school gate. Uncle Zhang closed the door behind him.
"Why should she go in?! Didn't you say that the school is not open?!" The man straightened his clothes and questioned Uncle Zhang through the iron gate.
Uncle Zhang replied angrily, "When people come to deliver medicine to children, they have registered in advance. Have you registered?!"
"You look very young, why did you say you won't clean up?" Uncle Zhang was helpless, "You said you were here to take pictures, where is the evidence? Or, you can call the principal or someone from the student union. Let them come out to pick you up."
The man fell silent.
"Why, you still don't admit that you lied?" Uncle Zhang entered the security room with his hands behind his back and asked through the window, "Humph, if you were really invited here, why don't you even have contact information? Let me tell you , I’ve been a security guard in No. 1 Middle School for so many years, and it’s not for nothing. I’ve seen too many people like you! Hurry up, walk around, don’t block the school entrance.”
The man said without giving up, "My phone is out of battery."
"Phone number." Uncle Zhang pushed the security room's wired phone to him.
「······」
"We are all in contact via WeChat, and I can't remember the phone number." The man said awkwardly, "Just let me in, and I will find people from the student union for you and confront you face to face. Or, you There is a power bank,
Charging cable or something, lend me your phone to charge for a while. "
"You always have business cards." Uncle Zhang took a sip of tea.
"..." The man rummaged through his pockets and said, "I didn't bring any." This made it even more obvious that he was lying.
Uncle Zhang stood up to close the window, but was stopped by the man, "Uncle, I really didn't lie to you. I could have arrived on time, but there was something wrong on the road, so I arrived now. Uncle, please give me your forehead and go in." I’ve already collected the deposit.”
Unmoved, Uncle Zhang pulled off the man's fingers on the window edge, locked the window, and continued to read the tablet with his back to the window. Out of sight and out of mind, "Humph, how could I be deceived by such a little trick? Just now A photographer has already entered, and now here comes another one, huh, liar."
The man continued to wait at the window for a while. Seeing that Uncle Zhang was really not soft-hearted, he tidied his hat helplessly, lowered his head and squatted under a tree not far away. He picked up a dead branch and drew circles on the dark ground. The hat was stained with There were a few fallen leaves, looking very miserable.
He sniffed the pantothenic acid, and the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became. I shouldn't have agreed to the master's picnic in the first place. Now, all my little savings have been spent. The first external order I bought after I came back was wasted, and all I have left is the camera and the phone. The camera is the most valuable, and it’s not his own.
He angrily threw away the work badge in his hand, took out his cell phone with a black screen, and muttered, "What a broken cell phone. When you are supposed to be working, you go on strike. When you are not supposed to be working, the calls come in one after another! Sooner or later, you will You change it!"
He looked at the phone and thought more and more angrily. He raised his hand and wanted to throw the phone away. The moment he threw it out, he put the phone back into his pocket. This was the only valuable thing left in his body that belonged to him. It's not worth it if it's broken. After you figure it out, then continue drawing circles with the branches.
