Deliberately addicted

Chapter 5 Yellow Crane Tower

After school on Friday afternoon, Chen Danfei dragged Jiang Li to the basketball court to play.

The aftertaste of the sunset in September was scorching hot and sultry, and Jiang Li was so irritated by the heat that he slapped the basketball lazily, walking around the court in a dispirited manner.

Obviously he was a little impatient, but Chen Dan's dog's interest was unreasonably high, and he kept yelling at him, asking him to pass the ball quickly.He was as noisy as a courting peacock, swaggering through the streets, lest no one would notice him.

Jiang Li didn't want to play anymore, he pushed his wrist, and the basketball was thrown away by Chen Dan, who had already run all over the court and was covered in sweat.

He turned and walked to the big steps around the basketball court to get water.

But as soon as he turned his body sideways, his jet-black pupils slowly froze, staring fixedly not far ahead, ignoring Chen Dan's clamoring voice behind him.

On the corridor outside the basketball court, a tall and beautiful figure swayed past. She was holding an embroidered sun umbrella with one hand. skirt.

The particularly flexible and elegant long skirt blown by the wind was like a few strong outlines on an ink painting, showing her graceful figure just right.

Liang Zhouyue walked out of the school gate slowly and stopped at the side of a black Volkswagen.A man got out of the driver's seat, with his back on his back, making it difficult to see his face clearly.

He Jinsheng hadn't seen Liang Zhouyue for a long time, and at this moment, his heart was itching unbearably, he stroked Liang Zhouyue's chin, and lowered his head to kiss her.

The woman pressed his arm nervously, turned her face, and said eagerly: "This is the school, and my students will see it."

In He Jinsheng's eyes, Liang Zhouyue is conservative in thinking and rigid in posture. He knows that her parents are both teachers, so he can understand some of her thoughts of self-denial and reverence.

Just like now, he caressed her slender back, walked around to the other side of the car very gentlemanly, and opened the passenger door for her.

The two got into the car one after another, and the shadow of the car slowly disappeared from Jiang Li's gloomy sight.

kiss?

A contemptuous laugh escaped his throat.

"Brother, you promised to play basketball with me, what are you doing now?" Chen Dan's anxious voice finally reached Jiang Li's ears.

He turned his head and threw the mineral water bottle in his hand, which had been crushed and deformed at some point, into the trash can, making a loud bang, abrupt and ear-piercing.

In the next second, he snatched the basketball from Chen Tan's hand. He walked swiftly and nimbly across the basketball court. He hit the backboard fiercely and scored like crazy.

Everyone on the field couldn't stop him, the difference in strength was too great, and his emotions were far less aggressive than his.The teammates all stared at him dumbfounded, bewildered.

Especially Chen Tan, who suddenly felt that this game was worthless.

He couldn't touch the ball at all.

The cheers from all the girls on the court were given to Jiang Li, a basketball lunatic. There were endless applause and screams, one after another.

It wasn't until he had vented the turbulent emotions in his heart that Jiang Li threw the basketball to Chen Tan, who defended him all the time and failed. His voice was cold: "It's boring, don't play with me next time."

"..."

Both teams were silent.

……

07:30 in the evening, western restaurant.

Although the month has entered the early autumn, the weather is still scorching hot, and the sky has not yet come to night, shrouding the city between darkness and clarity, which complement each other.

But the bustling city seems to allow no darkness at all. The lights are just on, and the night scenes everywhere are competing for splendor, and each one is more eye-catching and dazzling.

Liang Zhouyue is from a small city. She admired the prosperity and luxury of City B, but now she is used to the loneliness and loneliness here, living independently.

When He Jinsheng came back from the bathroom, Liang Zhouyue had put down the tableware in his hand, picked up a tissue, and wiped the corners of his mouth gracefully.

She has a small appetite and is not used to Western food.She mentioned it to He Jinsheng last time, but he didn't remember it.

Seeing Liang Zhouyue wiping her mouth, He Jinsheng raised his wrist to check the time, his brows furrowed slightly as he lowered his eyes.He raised his eyes again, and his face returned to the gentle and kind-hearted scholar.

He has good facial features, a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, is of medium height and thin, and has a bookish air that rushes to his face, without aggression in his aura.

"Do you want to go back?"

Finding that he had been checking the time, Liang Zhouyue subconsciously thought he was busy.

Also, they don't go out on dates for long each time.He Jinsheng's position in the school is higher than hers, and her work tasks are heavier than hers.

But today, he seemed more anxious than ever before. He checked his phone four times during the meal, but he didn't reply to the other party's message.

Hearing this, He Jinsheng put down his hands, shook his head with a smile, and said something that Liang Zhouyue was not used to: "There is nothing more important than you, let's stay a little longer tonight."

Liang Zhouyue took a breath secretly, but didn't let it out, it was completely blocked in her throat, making it difficult to swallow.

After a long silence, she cleared her throat and said with understanding: "If you have something urgent, I can go back by myself. Anyway, if you want to come out tomorrow weekend, we will come out again."

The truth of this sentence moved He Jinsheng's mind. An apologetic expression appeared on his face, and he was very embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Zhouyue, I didn't expect the college leaders to ask me for files suddenly. Everything is on the computer at home."

Liang Zhouyue hummed flatly, and smiled at each other: "Understood."

He Jinsheng insisted on sending her off, but she declined.Since the leader came to find a job, she didn't need to let him spend his time on the way to send her back. It's better to get busy with his own business as soon as possible.

……

The streets were brightly lit at night, Liang Zhouyue walked to the door of a convenience store and stopped slowly.

After a pause for a few seconds, she walked in in a strange manner, with a slightly unnatural expression on her face.

Going straight to the cigarette sales place, Liang Zhouyue carefully looked at the types of cigarettes embedded in almost half of the wall. Just looking at the packaging boxes, they were already full of different colors.

Looking from left to right, from top to bottom, she looked at the names above one by one, and everything strange made her frown deeper and deeper.

Until she took a fancy to a light blue cigarette case with clear packaging, Liang Zhouyue finally took action and raised her hand to reach for it.

"For another one, you can take the Yellow Crane Tower."

The sudden sound behind her made Liang Zhouyue's shoulders tremble in fright, and she dropped the unsteady cigarette case on the ground in a panic, making a loud thud, which seemed particularly abrupt in the silent convenience store.

In the next second, the cold smell of smoke lingered in her nose, and she always felt a little familiar.

Liang Zhouyue turned her head cautiously, and met the pair of eyes that made her remember deeply, the corners of the eyes were parallel to each other, and the full-bodied lying silkworms were full of pure energy when they smiled.

Jiang Li bowed down, helped her pick up the cigarettes on the ground, and put them back to their original position intact.Then he moved his hand to the right, pulled out a box of Yellow Crane Tower in brown and yellow packaging from the sea of ​​smoke at various prices, and handed it to Liang Zhouyue.

"You take this and pay for it."

After being dull for two seconds, Liang Zhouyue turned and walked towards the cashier.The heart that was frightened by Jiang Li just now has not yet calmed down, and his chest is pounding wildly.

After swiping the QR code, she found that the latest message popped up on WeChat Pay: the payment amount was ￥100.00.

She never smoked, so she didn't know that a pack was so expensive?
Walking out of the convenience store, Jiang Li's footsteps gradually approached, Liang Zhouyue heard it and stopped.

With the light from the door, she looked at the cigarettes she just bought in her hand, and suddenly she didn't want to try smoking anymore.

At this time, a black shadow fell in front of her eyes, and the man's broad palm directly held the cigarette in her palm, and quickly snatched it away.

Liang Zhouyue curled up her fingers and grabbed the air clumsily.

"What are you doing?"

It's fine to scare her behind her back just now, but now she's here to grab her things again.Liang Zhouyue's tone was a little anxious, but it sounded like a reproach, very delicate.

Jiang Li curled up his thin lips so much that he stood up the pack of cigarettes and showed her clearly.

"Sister, smoking is bad for your health."

The night breeze brought a bit of coolness, and finally dispelled the heat of the whole day.A full moon is slowly rising in the sky, and the silvery moonlight reflects the soft cotton clouds like feathers, and finally passes through the clouds and mist and falls to the earth.

Liang Zhouyue swallowed awkwardly, and looked at the man in front of her quietly.

Jiang Li put the cigarette in his trouser pocket, and when he took it out again, the cigarette turned into two beautifully wrapped chocolates.Spreading his palms, he raised his eyebrows in a sly manner, showing a stern look: "Thank you sister for giving me the Yellow Crane Tower. This is a gift from me."

Liang Zhouyue's eyes were confused, and then she smiled belatedly, soft and charming.

Jiang Li's black pupils condensed slightly, looking up at the moon above his head.Brackets slowly appeared at the corners of his mouth, as if expressing his feelings: "The moon on the fifteenth day is really beautiful."

In the dark blue night sky, the moon stands alone.
