Along the river, the lights of tall buildings shine on the rippling river, making the waves sparkle. After ordering skewers, a few people found a table by the river and sat down.
At night, the river breeze is very cool.
Tang Mi and Jiang Suchu were sitting together, pulling her to take a selfie while the four boys were chatting about games.
There were also young people about the same age as them sitting on the tables nearby. There were several bottles of wine on the table, and they were drinking and fist-pumping.
Pei Shuo glanced at the tables next to him and winked at the three of them, "Should we have some drinks too?"
Tang Zi: "Okay, tomorrow is the weekend anyway."
Lu Zhinian frowned and glanced at Jiang Suchu and Tang Mi, "Forget it, there are girls here."
It's not safe at night. If a few people get drunk and something happens, it will be troublesome.
Jiang Minghao nodded in agreement, "Next time."
Find the right time and the right place.
Pei Shuo also realized that something was wrong.
"Then it will be my birthday next month. Everyone come to my house..." He paused, thinking that Pei Tian's Tathagata palm trembled, and immediately changed his words, "... Come to Anian's house, we won't be drunk by then. Return."
"..."
Lu Zhinian glanced at him and twitched the corners of his mouth with a sneer.
The skewers came out quickly.
Tang Zi went to get a large bottle of Coke and a few disposable cups, "If you can't drink wine, let's drink some Coke for fun."
"That's okay." Pei Shuo stood up and distributed the cups to several people, "Come on, come on, Xiao Tang will fill it up for everyone."
"Get out!" Tang Zi glanced at him, barely giving him a kick.
Several people were amused by the two people playing tricks.
Lu Zhinian brought some skewers of beef to Jiang Suchu. There was oil on the skewers. He wrapped them in paper towels and handed them to her, "Be careful of burning them."
The freshly grilled skewers are still steaming.
Jiang Suichu took the beef skewers and was about to say thank you, but he swallowed the words again.
The Jiang wind blew her hair into a mess. Jiang Suchu used his fingers to brush away a few strands of hair that had stuck to her face. She took a small bite of the skewers and looked at him with bright eyes, "Hmm~ delicious."
"If it's delicious, eat more." Lu Zhinian curled his lower lip.
He glanced at her hair that was blown by the wind, took out a tissue and wiped her hands. Then he stretched out his hand to push her hair back, took off the peaked cap on her head and put it back on her head, "Do you want chicken wings?"
His movements were so natural that he seemed to have done this more than once.
Jiang Suchu was stunned by his natural movements and nodded, "Just...just have one."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Tang Mi felt that she shouldn't sit next to them, it was too cruel.
Jiang Suichu felt a little embarrassed when Tang Mi clicked her tongue. She handed the extra beef skewers to Tang Mi, "Tangtang, you eat this beef, it's delicious."
Tang Mi smiled, took the beef skewers, pursed her lips, and glanced at Jiang Minghao next to her with a complaining look, "Sui Sui is still the best for me."
Jiang Minghao: “……..…….”
Jiang Minghao paused for a moment with a bunch of grilled squid in his hand, looked at Tang Zi and Pei Shuo who were engrossed in eating, and chuckled. Finally, she put the string of squid into Tang Mi's bowl.
"Hey~" Tang Mi bit the beef skewer and looked at him in surprise.
Jiang Minghao coughed, looked away, picked up the cup and took a sip of Coke.
Jiang Suchu watched the whole process. She smiled and quietly pushed Tang Mi's arm and winked at her. The corners of Tang Mi's mouth couldn't stop turning up. She shook her head, finished the beef skewers Jiang Suichu gave her in a few bites, and picked up the grilled squid in the bowl.
The six of them talked and laughed, and had a barbecue from seven o'clock to almost nine o'clock.
Tang Zi touched his belly and said, "Has everyone eaten? I'll go and pay the bill after eating."
Pei Shuo drank the last sip of Coke in the cup and burped, "Hiccup~ Eat... you're done."
Seeing that everyone was full, Tang Zi stood up and was about to pay the bill, but Tang Mi stopped her, "Wait a minute, Jiang Minghao isn't back yet."
Jiang Minghao just went to the toilet.
Tang Zi nodded, looked back, and happened to see Jiang Minghao scanning the QR code to pay. He quickly stood up and walked over, "Hey, Brother Hao, what are you doing? I agreed to treat you to this meal."
Lu Zhinian and the others also got up and walked over. When they came over, Jiang Minghao had already paid.
Pei Shuo: "Yes, there is no reason for you to pay."
Originally, a few people invited him out to play today. Not only did they delay their work, but in the end they had to let him treat them.
Jiang Minghao put his phone in his pocket and smiled, "It's the same."
The last few times we went out, they paid for it, but this time in a territory he was familiar with, of course it was him who paid.
"Oh~ isn't this Brother Hao?"
Suddenly, an unfriendly voice came from behind.
Jiang Minghao frowned slightly and turned around.
There were five or six people standing opposite, the leader of whom was a man with withered yellow hair and a cigarette in his mouth.
This man had been hanging out in a nearby Internet cafe and had many younger brothers. After Jiang Minghao started working part-time in an Internet cafe, he had been trying to get him to join the team. In fact, he wanted to take a cut of the training fees Jiang Minghao earned in disguise.
But Jiang Minghao didn't follow suit, and the two had a feud from then on.
Tang Zi came close to Jiang Minghao's ear and whispered: "Brother Hao, are you an enemy or a friend?"
………..
Jiang Minghao glanced at him and did not reply. Instead, he raised his chin slightly and looked at the people in front of him, "Is something wrong?"
Huang Yong held a cigarette in his mouth and sneered, "Brother Hao is indeed a big shot. I can't even come to you for a drink if I have nothing to do?"
Jiang Minghao twitched the corner of his mouth and argued with him, "I will definitely accompany him some other time."
After speaking, he said to Lu Zhinian and others, "Let's go."
Both Lu Zhinian and Pei Shuo could see that these people were obviously coming with bad intentions, so they nodded and kept Jiang Suchu and Tang Mi in the middle to leave.
"Hey, don't go." Those people stood in front of them.
Huang Yong looked greedily at Jiang Suichu and Tang Mi, "Brother Hao, you have such a decent guy around you and you don't want to introduce him to us brothers."
Jiang Suchu and Tang Mi looked at each other and held each other's hands.
Lu Zhinian pulled Jiang Suchu and Tang Mi behind him, glanced at Huang Yong coldly, "Keep your mouth clean!"
Pei Shuo and Tang Zi also stepped forward and stood in front of them.
"Oh~" Huang Yong chuckled, "Looking at you, you should be good students. Can you fight?"
Lu Zhinian raised his thin eyelids and gave him a cold look, "You can try it."
Jiang Minghao took off the cigarette from his ear and said, "Huang Yong, I don't want to do anything today. If you know what's going on, take your people and get out of here."
Huang Yong put his hands in his pockets and took a step forward, walked up to Jiang Minghao, raised his head and gritted his teeth and looked at him, "I want to say that my hands are itchy today, what should I do?"
Just because of Jiang Minghao, his income in the past few months has been cut in half. He had long wanted to settle this account with him.
After saying that, he quickly took out a swing stick from his pocket. With a strong swing, it turned into an iron rod and was thrown directly at Jiang Minghao's head.
Jiang Suchu was blocked by Lu Zhinian, but she had been quietly paying attention to the situation. When Huang Yong walked in front of Jiang Minghao, she felt something was wrong. The moment she saw him take out his swinging stick, she barely hesitated, pushed aside Lu Zhinian and Pei Shuo and ran directly towards Jiang Minghao.
"Jiang Minghao, be careful!"
"Jiang Suichu!"
Lu Zhinian saw Jiang Suchu running out and reaching out to pull her, but she was too fast and he only touched the hem of her skirt.
Jiang Suichu pushed Jiang Minghao away with all his strength. Huang Yong's stick missed Jiang Minghao's head, but it hit Jiang Suichu's head.
In an instant, the hat on her head was knocked to the ground. She also fell to the ground due to inertia.
"Jiang Suichu!"
"Sui Sui!"
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Jiang Suchu to rush out suddenly.
The moment Lu Zhinian saw Jiang Suchu fall to the ground, his dark eyes suddenly filled with cruelty. Gritting his teeth, he stepped forward and kicked Huang Yong in the stomach. Huang Yong was kicked backwards and fell directly to the ground.
Jiang Minghao was pushed by Jiang Suchu and staggered. When he reacted, he roared angrily, "Huang Yong, I'll fuck you!"
He threw away the cigarette in his hand, picked up Huang Yong's dropped stick on the ground and rushed over. Pei Shuo and Tang Zi asked Tang Mi to stand far away and also rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward.
Suddenly, the originally lively barbecue stall turned into a fighting arena, with benches, tables and chairs flying everywhere.
Lu Zhinian's mind was filled with the stick that had just hit Jiang Suichu on the head. He helped Jiang Suichu up on the ground, pulled her hair aside, looked over and over, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no injuries on her head.
"You-" He wanted to get angry, but when he saw her eyes, he could only clenched his fists and swallowed his words.
"Are there any injuries elsewhere?"
Jiang Suchu bit his lower lip and shook his head despite the pain. She was about to say no, when an alarm sounded not far away.
I don’t know who called the police.
"It seems that the police are here, what should I do?" Jiang Suchu held Lu Zhinian's hand and asked nervously.
Lu Zhinian took her hand and said, "Don't be afraid."
Jiang Minghao: "Lu Zhinian, take Jiang Suichu away first."
Lu Zhinian took a look at the situation and saw that the people on Huang Yong's side were almost running away. It would be impossible for them not to run away. He took Jiang Suichu's hand and said, "Hold on, Jiang Suichu."
After saying that, he pulled her and ran down the river, running north along the river embankment.
Jiang Minghao kicked one of Huang Yong's younger brothers away and said to Tang Zi and Pei Shuo, "Run quickly, the police are coming."
"Ah!" Pei Shuo was stunned for a moment. If Pei Tian knew that he was fighting outside and came back, he would definitely not be able to escape this whipping.
Tang Zi: "Damn it, where's my sister?"
Huang Yong's people were regular visitors to the police station, and they immediately ran away when they heard the sirens. Tang Mi wanted to find Jiang Minghao and Tang Zi, but was accidentally knocked to the ground by Huang Yong who was running away.
"Hiss~" The skin of his palms scratched on the ground.
Jiang Minghao caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye and saw that the police were coming. He pushed aside the crowd, walked to Tang Mi and pulled her up.
"Pei Shuo and Tang Zi." He shouted through the panicked crowd, "The second bridge will meet at the north end of the bridge."
Before Tang Mi could react, she was pulled by Jiang Minghao and ran through the complicated and narrow residential alleys.
Jiang Suchu was dragged all the way to Jiangbin Park by Lu Zhinian. Her feet were so painful that she couldn't help but groan.
"Lu Zhinian, stop...stop." Her ankle was in too much pain and she couldn't run.
"What's wrong?" Lu Zhinian turned around and saw her standing on tiptoe with her right foot in discomfort, "Is your foot injured?"
As he spoke, he knelt down to look at her right foot. The ankle was already extremely red and swollen.
"Jiang Suichu! Why didn't you say anything just now?" Lu Zhinian yelled at her.
He wanted to get angry just now when she rushed out regardless of her, and now her feet were so swollen without even saying a word, and she was dragged so far by him.
Jiang Suchu was stunned by his roar and bit his lip, "...I'm afraid of dragging you down."
Lu Zhinian seemed to be angry and laughed. He sneered, "Why weren't you afraid of me when you rushed up? Don't you know how dangerous it is? Just rush up if you dare. Do you know when you saw the stick hit you on the head? How scared I was.”
At that moment, he felt like he was going to stop breathing. He didn't seem to learn to breathe again until he made sure she wasn't hurt on the head.
Jiang Suichu knew that she had been impulsive just now, but she couldn't help but watch Jiang Minghao get hurt.
She lowered her head and murmured: "Jiang Minghao will be injured if he attacks sneakily."
"Lu Zhinian, I really didn't think that much at the time. Because Jiang Minghao was like this before, standing in front of me."
Over the years, the two of them have encountered this kind of thing more than once or twice.
It has become normal for the two to protect each other.
Lu Zhinian looked at her and twitched his lips in a self-deprecating manner, "So, Jiang Minghao is more important to you than... yourself?"
He paused and wanted to ask if it was more important than me. But when the words came to his lips, he realized that he didn't dare to ask like this, and he didn't want to ask like this.
More than himself, he hopes that she can put herself in the most important position
Jiang Suchu raised his head and looked at him. Lu Zhinian's eyes were filled with confusion.
She pursed her lower lip, endured the pain, took a step closer to him, and grabbed the hem of his clothes.
Call him gently: "Lu Zhinian."
Lu Zhinian tilted his chin and looked at the fountain in the center of the park, his Adam's apple rolled and he said nothing.
She licked her lower lip and pulled the hem of his clothes tighter, "If you were in that situation today, I would be even more desperate than before, you know."
Jiang Minghao was very important to her, but so was Lu Zhinian.
Lu Zhinian frowned and looked at the wrinkled hem of his clothes that she had pulled, and gritted his teeth, "Jiang Suichu, if I encounter such a situation, do you dare to come forward to me..."
He was interrupted by her before he finished speaking.
"Lu Zhinian, my feet hurt." She looked at him, her voice aggrieved as if she was about to cry in the next second.
Lu Zhinian raised his eyelids, knowing that she was pretending to be pitiful but still couldn't help but squat down and look at her ankle.
"Does it hurt here?" He gently pressed her ankle with his cool fingers and raised his head to ask her.
Jiang Suchu looked at him running with his hair a little messy, and shook his head, "It doesn't hurt very much, it hurts more on the sides."
Lu Zhinian pinched the edge again. It must have been twisted, but no bones were injured.
Lu Zhinian squatted on the ground, raised his head and looked at her, "Jiang Suichu, protect yourself first in the future."
He didn't want to see her rushing out for anyone, regardless of her own safety.
"Remember?"
His voice was deep, hoarse and angry.
Jiang Suichu didn't dare to say no, so he nodded blankly, "Remember...I remember."
Seeing her frightened by him, she felt timid. Lu Zhinian didn't show any emotion on his face, but he chuckled secretly in his heart.
He didn't stand up, but turned his back to her and said, "Come up."
"Ah?" Jiang Suchu looked at his broad back and was stunned for a moment.
Before she could react, Lu Zhinian turned around and grabbed her wrist, pulled her whole body onto his back, and carried her.
He was too tall. As soon as he stood up, Jiang Suchu reflexively hugged his neck.
Phew~ It turns out that the line of sight of someone who is only 1.8 meters tall is so... wide.
There are many tall trees in the park, and most of the light from the few street lamps is blocked.
It was dim all around, with only ground lamps hidden in the bushes connected to both sides of the path.
Lu Zhinian carried her quietly along the path to the road.
Jiang Suchu lay on his back, feeling that he was still angry and didn't dare to move.
She slowly turned her head to look at him, but he turned his face to the other side, and Jiang Suchu could only look at the tight dimples on his cheeks.
It was slightly dented, but it stretched out with a sharp mark.
It's what he always does when he's angry.
Jiang Suchu: "Lu Zhinian, are you angry?"
Her voice was small, and her breath was hot against his ear.
Lu Zhinian's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he said in a short voice, "Yeah."
"Oh~" Jiang Suichu pursed his lower lip and leaned a little further, "Then... do you want me to coax you?"
Lu Zhinian paused, silently twitching the corners of his mouth, and said in a somewhat arrogant tone, "It's up to you."
He wanted to see how she planned to coax him.
Jiang Suchu rolled his eyes and looked around at the dim park, "Lu Zhinian."
Lu Zhiqiang sighed and said helplessly: "What's wrong?"
Don't you mean to coax him? Just calling him by his name counts as coaxing?
"Is there any surveillance here?" Jiang Suichu lay on his back and hid with some embarrassment.
Lu Zhinian frowned and glanced around, "No, what's wrong?"
Hearing him say no, Jiang Suchu wrapped his arms around his neck and climbed up on his back.
Lu Zhinian was a little amused and hooked his arm around her legs, "Jiang Suichu, do you think I am a tree?"
Climbing up and down.
Lu Zhinian turned his face a little, wanting to look back at her. The moment he turned his head, a touch of soft coolness touched the corner of his lips.
He stopped and was stunned.
He maintained that posture, his Adam's apple rolling, "Jiang Suichu, what are you doing?"
After Jiang Suchu kissed him, he retracted his back, buried his head in the back of his neck, and said in a buzzing voice, "...Do bad things."
Her voice was very low, but Lu Zhinian still heard her. He twitched the corners of his lips and gave a dumb smile, "Do you know what it means to do bad things?"
Jiang Suchu felt that his face was about to burn, and he didn't dare to raise his head at all, muttering: "...No...I don't want to know."
Lu Zhinian had a smirk on his lips, "It's too late."
ha?
Before Jiang Suchu could react, she felt the arm holding one of her legs loosen, and her whole body tilted downward.
"Ah!" She exclaimed subconsciously, feeling a tightness in her waist. As the world was spinning, she was face to face with Lu Zhinian somehow.
She was held in front of Lu Zhinian, her toes lightly stepping on the ground, but not completely.
He put one hand around her waist and the other behind her head, and slowly approached her.
Their foreheads touch each other.
Lu Zhinian's deep eyes stared at her, tracing down from her eyes to her lips bit by bit.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and a low and ambiguous voice sounded.
"Jiang Suichu, you took the initiative."
"I...well..."
Jiang Suichu's mind was shaken by how close he was. She raised her eyes to defend herself, but his lips were suddenly kissed by him.
The wind blows and seems to be still.
Jiang Suchu had no way of reacting, but instinctively felt the rolling of his lips.
Lu Zhinian kissed her lips gently, feeling her stiffness. He bent the corners of his mouth and gently stroked her hair with his palms.
Coaxing softly: "Baby, open your mouth."
"Huh?" Jiang Suchu was stunned for a moment, but he just happened to get what Lu Zhinian said.
He kissed her and moved straight in.
