Rebel Demon King

Chapter 561 Friendship is a wine that takes time to make
Cheng Mo glanced at the time, there are still more than three hours before the 05:30 appointment with Yan Yitong and Fu Yuanzhuo, this time is rather embarrassing, he is used to wearing pajamas at home, and it feels a bit awkward to change his hair after changing Trouble, Cheng Mo hesitated, pressed the hands-free button and said to the radio on the phone: "Go to the International Financial Center."

Immediately, Jiang Jun's calm and serious voice came from the loudspeaker: "Yes."

Cheng Mo knew that he was not only Jiang Jun's protection object, but also his surveillance object, so although the two often get along day and night, they are not close at all.In fact, Cheng Mo didn't like the state of being monitored, and his every move was watched by someone, but he was helpless.Although it was Xie Minyun's idea to let Jiang Jun protect him, it must be the top level of Tai Chi Dragon who finally decided to send Jiang Jun.

Rolls-Royce crossed the first bridge of Xiangjiang River in the rolling traffic, heading towards the towering glass buildings under the cloudy sky, Wuyi Avenue was crowded with people, passing by the Xinkanghui, which Chengmo signed up for the European Art Tour Summer Camp At the time of the travel agency, Cheng Mo cast his eyes involuntarily, and the green plant tied with red silk by the transparent glass door was getting taller and taller, looking a little lonely.

Cheng Mo looked in that direction for a long time without moving his eyes, until the door of New Comfort Travel Agency completely disappeared from sight.

Jiang Jun drove the car out of the basement of the IFC, stopped at the No. 12 elevator entrance, and then quickly got out of the car and opened the door.

Cheng Mo was already used to this procedure. After getting out of the car, he went straight into the bright elevator room and pressed the up button.

Cheng Mo didn't need to pay attention to Jiang Jun's arrangements when Jiang Jun went to park the car. In short, Jiang Jun would definitely be near him.So he went upstairs alone, to the Sisyphus Bookstore on the third floor. For Cheng Mo, going to the bookstore is the easiest way to pass the boring time.

I took the elevator again to reach the third floor, and found the bookstore with white luminous characters on the red door with ease. There was Maugham's "The Moon and Sixpence" in the glass window beside the door. Cheng Mo remembered it. When I came over a month ago, there was Serling's "The Catcher in the Rye" in the window. The two window recommendations were classic books that were partial to literature and art. It seemed that this bookstore called Sisyphus didn't bother to display those bloody books. There are many popular and best-selling books, from this point of view, Cheng Mo thinks this bookstore is quite tasteful.

Entering the bookstore, Cheng Mo went directly to the book area. There were pumpkin-colored paper lamps hanging inside the bookstore. The light was not too dazzling, but just the right brightness. It was dim and warm. The long tables that were not used for consumption were already full of people. , It’s just that not everyone is reading a book, some people are playing with their mobile phones, and some are sleeping.

Cheng Mo walked around the book area, took a copy of "We" by the Russian writer Eugene Zamyatin, walked to the Vector Cafe where money was required, found a booth by the window and sat down.

Ono Lisa's "fly me to the moon" sounded in the red and black cafe, the lazy female voice was like the steamed milk floating on the coffee, the low guitar strings and the weeping saxophone were like the backing espresso coffee.

Cheng Mo once again raised his evaluation of this bookstore, thinking that the soft music is very suitable, not as loud as pop music and not as serious as classical music, it is suitable for ordering a cup of coffee and flipping through a paper book, if This is a villa by the sea, where the sun is shining and the sea breeze is gentle. Sitting opposite is Xie Minyun in a white lace dress, or Teacher Shen in a simple and elegant bohemian dress, or Bai Xiuxiu in a suspender silk pajamas
That would be really perfect.

Of course, there is a more perfect one, that is, the three of them are sitting opposite each other, but Cheng Mo dare not think about it.

Cheng Mo couldn't help shaking his head, throwing these gorgeous fantasies out of his mind. He didn't know when his ideal changed from being a librarian to a librarian with a happy life. Maybe people's hearts are In this way, never satisfied.

When the waiter came over, Cheng Mo ordered a cup of coffee and a cup of lemonade. The lemonade is for drinking and the coffee is for smelling. Anyway, the money must be spent within two months. Cheng Mo is used to spending money To satisfy all the sensory needs that you can think of.

The aroma of coffee is lingering under the light, the soothing music is flowing slowly in the coffee shop, and Eugene Zamia's blond and thoughtful words are like sharp knives and guns, breaking through the hypocritical skin of this world, making people unable to bear to release the book .

When Cheng Mo was immersed in it, someone suddenly patted his shoulder and said in surprise, "Cheng Mo?"

Cheng Mo turned his head and saw Tu Huiqin with ponytail and Feng Leiting with bobbed hair who participated in the summer camp together during the summer vacation. These two stylishly dressed girls with an 85-point appearance were playing with Tang Wenjun and Cheng Haoyang in the summer camp. More, Tang Wenjun still has some ideas about the lively and lovely bob Feng Leiting, and Cheng Mo also talked to them, but the communication is not much.

At this moment, the two of them are holding two books each, and they seem to be looking for a place to sit. The Star City is not big, and it is not a miracle to meet them in a popular place like the IFC.

Cheng Mo didn't expect these two girls to greet him, he was a little surprised, straightened his back, said "uh" and said, "Good afternoon."

Feng Leiting, who was more lively with a bob head, said with a smile: "You don't remember who we are anymore, do you?"

Cheng Mo said expressionlessly: "Remember, you are Feng Leiting, she is Tu Huiqin, and you are both from Nanjun Middle School."

Bobotou Feng Leiting also knew that Cheng Mo had such a face that no one wanted to talk to, so she didn't mind. She glanced at the cup of coffee and lemonade in front of Cheng Mo and asked suspiciously, "Are you alone?"

Hearing Feng Leiting's question, Cheng Mo knew that the two of them wanted to sit down. He wanted to talk about two people, but when he glanced at the coffee shop, the booths were all full. He thought the other party was helpless, so he didn't Lying, nodded and said: "Well, alone."

"Then the two of us will share the table with you." After finishing speaking, Feng Leiting excitedly pulled Tu Huiqin with ponytail standing beside her, pushed away the sofa chair, and sat opposite Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo didn't make a sound, he lowered his head and continued to read, intending to distance himself from the two girls with a cold attitude, but Cheng Mo's desire to read quietly was easily destroyed.

After the two girls finished ordering drinks, Feng Leiting opened the book and asked Cheng Mo, "Why didn't you go to class this afternoon?"

Cheng Mo didn't even lift his head, and said flatly, "Study is suspended."

Cheng Mo knew why Feng Leiting and Tu Huiqin didn't have class in the afternoon. From some English learning books in their folders, he could guess that the two of them must be learning English at an overseas study agency near the International Finance Center, probably because they are planning to study abroad.

"Eh? Why did you drop out of school?" The handsome Tu Huiqin actually had a good impression of a top student like Cheng Mo. Seeing that Cheng Mo said he had dropped out of school, she couldn't help but ask.

Cheng Mo was too lazy to explain, and said casually, "Physical reasons."

Tu Huiqin said with some regret: "I thought you were in English classes like us and were going to go abroad!"

Sure enough, it was the same as what he thought, but Cheng Mo still didn't look up, let alone answer, just looked at the book in his hand and shook his head, revealing again that he didn't want to talk to me, but the two girls didn't let him go Intend.

Feng Leiting asked: "Hey! Cheng Mo, I heard that Xie Minyun has transferred to another school and is no longer with your Changya. Is it true?"

Cheng Mo didn't expect that the news of Xie Minyun's transfer would spread to other schools. He said "hmm" and said in his heart: God's favorite for being so beautiful.

Tu Huiqin looked at Cheng Mo curiously with a pair of almond eyes and asked, "Aren't you very sad?"

Now Cheng Mo finally couldn't maintain his coldness, raised his head and said inexplicably, "Why should I be sad?"

Tu Huiqin said as a matter of course: "Aren't you two a couple?"

Cheng Mo was a little surprised. He hadn't fully realized how great Xie Minyun's influence was among high school students in southern Shonan and even across the country. After all, Xie Minyun was not a star. It was really hard to imagine that he had only appeared on two variety shows that were very popular among high school students. to be so concerned.But Cheng Mo thinks carefully, it is not uncommon to become famous all over the world in the current era. Xie Minyun's appearance is too outstanding, so it is not surprising that he has attracted much attention.

Cheng Mo hesitated for a moment and was about to deny it, but was interrupted by Feng Leiting's words. In fact, the reason why Feng Leiting saw Cheng Mo taking the initiative to say hello was to gossip about him and Xie Minyun.Seeing Cheng Mo's strange expression, she couldn't wait to say: "The scandal between you and Xie Minyun is rumored in our school! Many people say that Xie Minyun contracted the entire Yuelu Mountain for you, and now the mountain is full of your two names. There are still many people in the school who don't believe it, so they ran over to check it out, and found out that it's true, oh my god, you don't know how much the incident between you and Xie Minyun caused a sensation in our school, and it's said that it cost [-] million!"

Only then did Cheng Mo remember that Xie Minyun had done such a "sensational" deed. It seemed that it was not so easy for him to tear off the label of "billionaire soft rice man". He said "oh", and gave up denying it. idea.

Seeing Cheng Mo's indifferent attitude, Feng Leiting didn't care at all, and asked persistently: "Hey, Cheng Mo, don't you be embarrassed to say it?"

Cheng Mo felt that he couldn't sit in this place any more. He didn't like others gossiping about his private life, so he moved the sofa chair, stood up, packed his books, and said lightly: "Sit down slowly, I'll go first. "

Without waiting for the two of them to speak, she turned around and left, leaving Feng Leiting and Tu Huiqin sitting in the booth and looking at each other.

Feng Leiting looked at Cheng Mo's back, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I didn't ask any excessive questions, did I? If you don't want to say it, you don't want to say it. As for pretending to be cool?"

Tu Huiqin said thoughtfully: "Maybe the relationship between Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun is not going well, so you are in a bad mood?" Story, "It is possible that I guess Xie Minyun's parents beat the mandarin ducks with a stick. In order not to let Xie Minyun and Cheng Mo be together, they deliberately let Xie Minyun transfer to school."

Feng Leiting snorted, "Anyway, I think Cheng Mo is overplaying. I wonder why Xie Minyun likes him? Is it just because of his good grades?"

------------------

Cheng Mo went to the counter and bought this Eugene Zamyatin's "We", which is comparable to Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" and George Orwell's "1984". ", also known as the three major dystopian works of the 20th century, was forbidden to be sold in China for a long time. This time, for some reason, it was allowed to be published again, so Cheng Mo bought it without hesitation.

After buying the book, Cheng Mo changed to a dessert shop, ordered a piece of Yangzhi Ganlu and sat down to wait for Fu Yuanzhuo and Yan Yitong to call him. At last, no one bothered him, and Cheng Mo read the book roughly in one breath. After that, it was evening.

Sitting and watching the news with his mobile phone, Cheng Mo received a WeChat message from Fu Yuanzhuo, saying that their large troops were on their way, Cheng Mo returned to his place, and was still waiting for Fu Yuanzhuo and the others at the dessert shop arrival.

Thinking that Fu Yuanzhuo arranged for more than ten or twenty people who had a good relationship with him to celebrate his birthday, Cheng Mo felt a little overwhelmed.He really felt that Fu Yuanzhuo was unnecessary. In his opinion, friendship is difficult to last without benefits, let alone the friendship between high school students. Most people go farther and farther and there is not much of a "friendship" left.

The so-called school reunion has become a stage to show off wealth, rather than a gathering where everyone regains old friendship.

Cheng Mo has always believed that if a friendship wants to be deep, both parties must first have a similar depth. The friendship between shallow people cannot be said to be deep, and most of them are just friends with wine and meat.

Cicero believed that "friendship can only arise between bad and good people." From a historical point of view, this sentence is still a bit too honest.

Cheng Mo understands that there has been an insurmountable gap between himself and his high school classmates, and there is no basis for friendship, but he can't stand Fu Yuanzhuo's repeated demands, so he just lets him go. up.

After all, he and Fu Yuanzhuo still have a basis for friendship, at least Fu Yuanzhuo has a chance to touch the threshold of Tai Chi Dragon, as for Yan Yitong
Cheng Mo has to consider Yan Funing, although he is not afraid of Yan Funing, but Yan Funing is a factor that cannot be ignored.

When Cheng Mo was thinking about Yan Yitong, his eyes were covered by his hands, and the sweet and lively voice he was very familiar with rang out, "Guess who I am?"
