Not long after Lei Lei's celebration party, Yida's final exam is coming as scheduled.

Li Huaicheng used to spend a lot of time in the self-study room. In the first semester, he had to take seven math lessons on Monday, so he almost settled down in the self-study room a week before the exam. overnight.

Therefore, both Zhou Ziyou and Yang Mengmeng were amazed and thankful that they had chosen a good major.

The next day is the exam, this week Li Huaicheng rarely decided to relax and rest for the night, Zhou Ziyou saw that the four of them were all there, so he suggested: "How about we go out for a meal, how about taking it to strengthen our courage for tomorrow's exam?"

Yang Mengmeng gave a thumbs up: "This word is used precisely."

Li Huaicheng and Jiang Siyuan had no objections either, and the four of them wandered out together.

Almost every school has a food street no matter what name it chooses, and it will be called the back street in the end. Yee is no exception. The back street extends in all directions and sells everything. Even many tourists who come to Qing City for sightseeing will come here especially.

However, after one semester, Li Huaicheng can count the number of times he came to this street with a single slap.

However, Zhou Ziyou is very fond of the delicious food in the back street, and he is full of praise when talking about the restaurant they plan to go to: "The chicken pot at the end of the street is really amazing, the chicken is so tender... the juice will overflow when you bite into it Come on, the taste of the juice is very fresh, and the taste of the side dishes inside is all melted into the chicken, forget it, I said you can't feel it, you will know it when you eat it later."

Because of his wealthy family background, it is not too much for Zhou Ziyou to claim that he has eaten all the delicious food in Qing City. However, it is rare for Li Huaicheng to hear him praise a restaurant so exaggeratedly, which makes him a little curious.

The four of them chose a table and sat down. The boss quickly brought the menu, but Zhou Ziyou didn't even look at it and said, "Two chicken pots in a big pot, add potatoes and a thousand pieces, you can do it first, and we'll wait for the other side dishes." I'll give you the list again."

The boss heheed with a smile, turned around and repeated Zhou Ziyou's request louder.

"It seems that you are a regular customer." Li Huaicheng said while looking at the list.

"Of course." Zhou Ziyou leaned his head and said, "I'll tell you, I heard a senior say that this store has a special magical place, but I haven't verified it, so I don't know if it's true or not."

"Where?" Jiang Siyuan's eyes fell on Li Huaicheng's white knuckles holding a pen, and he asked casually.

"I heard that the chicken pot made by this restaurant every year in the first semester is very delicious, but the next semester will be very unpalatable. I have eaten it many times this semester, and it is really good. I plan to try it next semester. Let's see if the rumors are true."

"Is there such a thing?" Yang Mengmeng was surprised, "I also plan to bring my girlfriend to eat next semester if it's delicious."

Zhou Ziyou's gossiping expression collapsed, and he said blankly, "I don't want to have dinner with someone who has a girlfriend right now."

Not long after, the chicken pot was brought up, and there was a sizzling sound of hot oil in the pot, and the aroma made people move their index fingers.

Even Li Huaicheng quickly pulled out his chopsticks, picked up a piece and put it in the bowl, and put it in his mouth when it was almost cold. Jiang Siyuan picked up a little potato first. After eating it, he thought it tasted good, so he also picked up a piece. Serve the chicken cold.

Compared with Jiang Siyuan and Li Huaicheng's gentle way of eating, Zhou Ziyou and Yang Mengmeng, who shared the same pot, ate very fast. In the end, the two even almost fought for the last piece of chicken.

Zhou Ziyou: "I saw it first."

Yang Mengmeng: "I clamped it first."

Zhou Ziyou: "Whoever wants to see it belongs to them."

Yang Mengmeng: "Whoever catches it belongs to him."

Zhou Ziyou: "I'm short, so I should eat more chicken to supplement my nutrition."

Yang Mengmeng: "...I lost, you eat."

Li Huaicheng: ...

Jiang Siyuan ate slowly, raised his eyebrows when he saw Zhou Ziyou and Yang Mengmeng arguing, and said: "We still have a lot here, let's eat together."

Zhou Ziyou looked at the half pot of chicken pot left, and said to Yang Mengmeng, "I think I can still eat half pot, how about you?"

"I can too." Yang Mengmeng nodded.

Zhou Ziyou raised his hand: "Boss, let's have another big pot!"

Jiang Siyuan: ...

Li Huaicheng and Jiang Siyuan looked at each other, ignored them and continued their previous chat.

Jiang Siyuan swallowed what was in his mouth and asked, "Do you have any plans for winter vacation?"

"I should be able to read books and do homework at home." Li Huaicheng said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with the next semester's courses, and the winter vacation and Chinese New Year are so long, it's not suitable for going out to play, what about you?"

Jiang Siyuan lowered his eyes and said: "Well, I should go back to Italy. I haven't been back for a long time. My parents miss me very much."

Li Huaicheng nodded and said, "You really should go back and have a look, after all your sister...your parents probably miss you too."

"Yeah." Jiang Siyuan put down his chopsticks with a disappointed expression, "It's just that I won't be able to see you for a month."

"It's okay." Li Huaicheng smiled and said, "One month is very short."

Jiang Siyuan pursed his lips, "But..."

"Si Yuan!"

Just as Jiang Siyuan spoke, he heard a surprised voice behind him. Li Huaicheng looked up and found that it was the girl he had seen at Lei Lei's party last time.

"I didn't expect to meet you here. I'm so happy." Yang Yunxin walked between Li Huaicheng and Jiang Siyuan's table, with a smile on her face: "Are you eating here too? Did you just eat?"

Jiang Siyuan nodded and said, "We're almost done eating."

Yang Yunxin was a little disappointed when she heard the words, but she still smiled and said: "My friends and I heard that the chicken pot here is delicious, so we came here specially, but we haven't tried it before, can you recommend it to us?"

"It's my first time here too." Jiang Siyuan looked at Zhou Ziyou who was sitting opposite him and said, "My friend comes here often, let him recommend it to you."

Zhou Ziyou, who has been paying attention to the movement here, smiled and said to Yang Yunxin: "The chicken pot here is quite good. You girls can order a small one first and try it. If you think it tastes good, you can add more."

Although Yang Yunxin was a little sad about Jiang Siyuan's indifference, she still smiled at Zhou Ziyou and said, "Thank you for your recommendation."

"Is this Jiang Siyuan, the schoolgirl of Yi University?" The girl next to Yang Yunxin tugged on her sleeve and asked in a low voice.

"By the way." Yang Yunxin looked a little embarrassed: "I forgot to introduce my friend to you."

Yang Yunxin introduced the two girls beside her, and Jiang Siyuan also briefly introduced Li Huaicheng and the three of them.

A girl smiled and said, "Yunxin, you never said before that you know Jiang Siyuan, and it seems that you have known each other for a long time."

Yang Yunxin smiled slightly, walked to the chair behind Jiang Siyuan, put one hand on the back of the chair, and said softly: "We have known each other for more than four years."

Zhou Ziyou's eyes lit up, exuding the light of gossip, he mouthed to Li Huaicheng and said, "Four years? Could it be this girl?"

Li Huaicheng shook his head, indicating that he was not clear.

At this time, the boss just came up with Zhou Ziyou's extra chicken pot.

Seeing this, Yang Yunxin's companion asked, "Did you add another one? It looks really delicious."

"Yes." Yang Mengmeng pointed to the only empty table in the corner, and said, "You better go there quickly, or there will be no seats."

Seeing that the business here is really good, the girl quickly grabbed Yang Yunxin and said, "Let's go there."

Yang Yunxin nodded hesitantly, and said to Jiang Siyuan: "Then let's go there first, and if we have time, let's have dinner together."

Jiang Siyuan nodded: "Okay, goodbye."

But unexpectedly, the time they said goodbye to Jiang Siyuan and the others, the table was already occupied.

Li Huaicheng and the others also saw them. Seeing them standing aside with embarrassing expressions, Li Huaicheng said: "We will finish eating soon, or you can sit with us."

Zhou Ziyou got up straight away, gave up his seat and said, "It just so happens that we haven't eaten this pot yet. If you don't mind, just sit here and eat."

Yang Yunxin was taken aback, a little embarrassed: "This is not good, you are not full, we can just change to another restaurant."

"It's all right." Zhou Ziyou waved his hands with a smile: "We're already full, you can sit down, and we've planned to refill the table, so you don't have to worry about it."

The three of Yang Yunxin just sat down and thanked them very embarrassedly.

After leaving the restaurant, Yang Mengmeng rubbed his chin and thought for a long time, then looked at Zhou Ziyou and said, "I think you can be free. I think you are very good at teasing girls and you are a gentleman. Why can't you find a girlfriend?"

Zhou Ziyou shrugged and sighed: "I don't know, maybe most of the outstanding people are lonely."

Li Huaicheng asked Yang Mengmeng: "Do you know why now?"

Yang Mengmeng glanced at Zhou Ziyou, and nodded with an indescribable expression.

"We didn't eat enough just now, how about taking a walk to the barbecue stall at the south gate." Zhou Ziyou suggested.

"No, I have to go back and do the questions." Li Huaicheng said lightly.

"Me too." Jiang Siyuan ignored Zhou Ziyou's expectant expression.

Zhou Ziyou put his last hope on Yang Mengmeng, and Yang Mengmeng licked his lips: "Although I am still a little hungry, I still have to be with my girlfriend tonight..."

"Forget it, it's still early." Seeing Zhou Ziyou's sad expression, Yang Mengmeng said helplessly, "Let's go."

Li Huaicheng and Jiang Siyuan were very happy to finally have someone who could distract Zhou Ziyou's excess energy, but after Zhou Ziyou and Yang Mengmeng left, there was silence between them.

"Are you sure about tomorrow's exam?" Li Huaicheng thought for a while, and managed to bring up a topic to break the somewhat embarrassing atmosphere.

Jiang Siyuan: "It's okay."

Realizing that Jiang Siyuan was not willing to speak for the time being, Li Huaicheng stopped talking.

Back in the dormitory, Li Huaicheng sat down and turned out the questions he hadn't finished proving. Although he planned to relax for a night, he still planned to finish this question before going to rest.

"Do you have anything else you want to ask me besides the exam?"

Jiang Siyuan's hoarse voice sounded behind him, Li Huaicheng paused in flipping through the book, and turned around to find that Jiang Siyuan was very close to him.

Li Huaicheng backed away calmly, closed the book in his hand, and asked, "What else?"

"Aren't you curious about Yang Yunxin?" Jiang Siyuan put one hand on his stool, bent down and asked him, "When you were at the restaurant just now, you watched her for a long time."

Li Huaicheng was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that he was indeed a little surprised when he saw Yang Yunxin, but he didn't see her for a long time. At that time, he was just surprised that Yang Yunxin would appear in Yida's snack street.

Li Huaicheng said truthfully: "I was just surprised that she, a student of Qing University, went to the back street of Yi University to eat."

"What about Zhang Yuan from last time? The model that Su took a fancy to?"

The distance between Jiang Siyuan's face and Li Huaicheng's was less than ten centimeters, his eyes looked deep in the dark because the wooden bed blocked the light.

Hearing Jiang Siyuan's cold and questioning voice, Li Huaicheng frowned indistinctly, looked into Jiang Siyuan's eyes, and his face was calm: "What exactly do you want to ask?"

Jiang Siyuan was stunned by Li Huaicheng's calm and unwavering eyes, and many emotions surged in his heart instantly, including grievances and discomfort, and most of them were loss.

"Do you want to fall in love?" Jiang Siyuan lowered his eyes, "A beautiful girl like Zhang Yuan or Yang Yunxin."

Li Huaicheng's face was blank, "Why do you think so?"

Jiang Siyuan let go of the back of Li Huaicheng's chair, straightened up and said, "You seem to like them very much."

Not her, or them.

Li Huaicheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "At that time, I helped Zhang Yuan because I felt that what was easy for us might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her, and she also kindly reminded us before, so I took her in along the way." .”

"Then why did you talk to her for so long, and you seemed very happy."

"She was crying at that time, how did you see that we were happy?" Li Huaicheng said helplessly: "She didn't know anyone at that party to come to talk to me, and I saw that you were chatting with someone at the time, I went over It's not very convenient, so I just talked to her a few more words."

"What about Yang Yunxin?" Jiang Siyuan said, "Just now you watched her for a long time, and saw that they had no seats, so you offered to let them sit there."

"They are all girls, and they came here to eat specially. It's okay for us to let them eat when we are almost finished."

Jiang Siyuan lowered his eyes, pursed his lips and said, "I'm not full."

Li Huaicheng was taken aback, and apologized: "Sorry, I did it without asking you..."

In fact, Li Huaicheng is also quite strange. It may be due to the education he received since he was a child. Jiang Siyuan is usually very gentleman. Although he rarely talks to girls, as long as a girl takes the initiative to find him, he will basically maintain a gentle and patient attitude. It is very rare to have such an obviously indifferent attitude towards Yang Yunxin today and Zhang Yuan last time.

However, after Li Huaicheng apologized, Jiang Siyuan's mood not only did not improve, but worsened. He turned and returned to his desk, left a light sentence to forget it, and went to the bathroom with a change of clothes.

After staring at the closed bathroom door for a long time, Li Huaicheng slowly looked away until the sound of water inside could be heard.

This is not the case.

He didn't know why he felt so bored when he saw Yang Yunxin talking to Jiang Siyuan pretending to be intimate. Later, when Zhou Ziyou asked him if the girl Jiang Siyuan had liked for four years was Yang Yunxin, he felt even more uncomfortable. It's because it's hard to maintain the smile on my face, and I just want to get out of there as soon as possible.

So, when there were no vacancies at that table, he almost breathed a sigh of relief and offered to let them sit here, ignoring that Jiang Siyuan was not full, and just wanted to take Jiang Siyuan away quickly and leave. Yang Yunxin's gaze.

This kind of feeling is very strange, Li Huaicheng doesn't even know why they arise, but subconsciously knows that this is wrong, he doesn't want to think too much, and he doesn't want to think deeply, he is even a little afraid to know the appearance of these emotions What the hell does that mean.

Therefore, when Jiang Siyuan asked him, even though he was flustered in his heart, he controlled his gaze to look at him, and pretended to answer calmly, in order not to make himself appear guilty.

Perhaps because Jiang Siyuan is the only person he can truly trust and relax after his rebirth, and he has been inseparable for nearly four years, so he is like a child who is saving the only candy that belongs to him, He will be alert to anyone around him who might snatch the candy away from him.

Jiang Siyuan is the candy in his palm, but he has grown up and knows that if the candy is packed too tightly, it will only melt, and in the end the candy will no longer be the same as before, and his hands will also be sticky into a ball.

Jiang Siyuan and Li Huaicheng started a cold war inexplicably in this way. Zhou Ziyou and Yang Mengmeng who came back from supper were very dazed, but under the low pressure of the two, they didn't dare to ask anything, they could only stand in fear. Wait for this cold snap to pass.

However, from the beginning of the exam week until the winter vacation, the two of them did not speak more than ten times.

Jiang Siyuan left school early because he finished the exam first and had to catch a plane back to Italy. Yang Mengmeng also hurried back to Yishi under the urging of his girlfriend, leaving only Li Huaicheng and Zhou Ziyou on vacation There was an exam the day before.

When Zhou Ziyou returned to the dormitory after the exam, he found that Li Huaicheng had already packed his things. He put down the book in his hand and asked, "Chengzi, what happened to you and Yuanzi?"

Li Huaicheng paused while folding his clothes, and said calmly, "What's wrong?"

"What the hell are you guys arguing about?" Zhou Ziyou sat down, with an irritable expression, "I asked him and he had the same attitude, and I asked you, and you also have the same attitude. He has gone home now, so you can talk about it."

Li Huaicheng closed the suitcase, lowered his eyes and said, "I don't know what happened."

"No." Zhou Ziyou frowned, "There must be a reason."

"There's no reason." Li Huaicheng got up, rubbed Zhou Ziyou's head and said, "Okay, pack up and go back early, my driver is already waiting for me at the door, I'll go first."

Zhou Ziyou lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Actually, you don't consider me a friend at all, do you?"

Li Huaicheng paused when he turned around, then turned to ask him, "Why do you think so?"

"Then do you consider me a friend?" Zhou Ziyou asked back.

Li Huaicheng replied without hesitation: "Of course."

"Then why are you unwilling to tell me no matter what happens?"

Zhou Ziyou looked at him and said: "In the third year of junior high school, Jiang Huaikang kicked and hurt you on the seventh day of the junior high school. The next day you played so hard to vent your anger, but you didn't tell us a word. The Li family made you feel a lot of sulking, but you didn't tell us anything. Even if I guessed that you might be having a hard time, I was so aggrieved that I wanted to go to Huaqing to block Jiang Huaikang and break his leg. , but because you didn't say anything, I can only pretend not to know."

Li Huaicheng stood there, he didn't know that Zhou Ziyou and the others knew all about them, but they chose not to say anything just to take care of his emotions.

Zhou Ziyou continued, "Later on an outing, Miao Miao injured her leg and couldn't move. The rain was so heavy that day. I was afraid that something would happen to you and Yuanzi. I thought it would be fine as long as we were still together, but you said you wanted me Go first with Tao He, I knew it was indeed a rational decision, so we went up, but then there was a mudslide, you know, the moment before I heard your voice, I kept thinking why I had to go first why I was not with you, what should I do if something happened to you, I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I heard your voice, but you decided to go down the mountain alone..."

"The mountain where the mudslide happened just now, do you know how dangerous it is? Across the road blocked by the mudslide, I really wanted to run over to pull you back and ask what you were thinking."

"Fortunately, you managed to meet the rescue team, and you just saved Yuanzi, but the price was that you were in a coma for two days in the hospital." Zhou Ziyou's eyes turned red, and he looked at Li Huaicheng and said, "That's when I knew that it was already you." The second time you were in a coma for a long time. When you didn’t wake up, the four of us, Yuanzi, Tao He, and Miao Miao, couldn’t even close our eyes. The doctor said that we couldn’t find out the reason and even didn’t know when you would wake up. At that time, the first time I saw Yuanzi almost collapsed, in fact, I was similar, but I was thinking more, I am your friend, why I don’t even know that you have experienced this situation twice What about it? Before the college entrance examination, you saved your sister and fell into a coma again..."

"I've always thought that friends are people who can complain to each other, share burdens together, and be absolutely trustworthy." Zhou Ziyou lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth, "However, I don't exist like this to you."

Li Huaicheng never thought that he had long been accustomed to bear alone would hurt the people around him, and he didn't know that these things were actually buried in Zhou Ziyou's heart. He blamed himself very much: "I'm sorry."

Looking at Zhou Ziyou's red eye circles, Li Huaicheng said: "My thoughts are a little different from yours. For me, a friend is someone who can let me let go of my defenses and can be absolutely trusted, but it is definitely not necessary to bear my pain and my pain together. The responsible person." Li Huaicheng said, "But even if we have different definitions of friends, I will always regard you as my best friend, and I can guarantee this."

Zhou Ziyou looked up at Li Huaicheng and asked, "What about Yuanzi? Do you also consider him your best friend?"
