Chapter 60 A Friendship That Stands the Test

Li Chengxun didn't like Weiwei, out of politeness, he still had a chat with Weiwei.

The content of the chat was the same as last time at the teahouse, nothing more than the current economic situation and young people's views on marriage and love. Obviously, Weiwei was more interested in the latter. Li Chengxun agreed and wanted to leave, Weiwei Not wanting to miss the opportunity, suddenly, lowered his voice and asked Li Chengxun: "Manager Li, what I told you last time..."

Li Chengxun's face turned serious, and he glanced to the side, "Let's talk about it later."

Weiwei saw that he was a decent man, and knew that she was reckless. She smiled unnaturally, brushed her long wavy hair around her shoulders, "Okay, I'll contact you tomorrow."

Li Chengxun didn't want to talk more, nodded, turned and left.

After walking a few steps, he heard someone calling his name, "Li Chengxun!"

Of course, it wasn't Weiwei who had just separated who called him, but Ye Mei, an old classmate who made him a gold medal member of 'Xifulai'.

"Hi! I thought you didn't come. It's so interesting. You are indeed Ye Mei's hardcore!" Ye Mei came over and patted Li Chengxun with a familiar attitude.

Li Chengxun smiled, "Who dares to disobey what Miss Ye ordered, unless he doesn't want to hang around in the circle anymore."

Ye Mei laughed loudly, she winked at Li Chengxun, glanced at the obvious increase in female guests around, and jokingly said: "Is there any girl that Manager Li is looking for? If so, I will make an exception to fulfill you today." Already!"

Li Chengxun didn't feel anything about those bold and enthusiastic gazes, but was inexplicably tired. He turned his face and looked towards the flower garden on the right, "Don't be kidding, don't you know my details? It's too much to talk about now." morning."

Ye Mei was stunned for a moment, then her smile stopped. She stood side by side with Li Chengxun, looking at the lush flower garden, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I've hurt your self-esteem again."

Li Chengxun shook his head and did not speak.

Ye Mei and Li Chengxun are high school classmates, and they are also front and back desks.Li Chengxun was a student who came from a remote and backward mountain. Apart from being handsome, his other qualifications, in Ye Mei's words, were appalling.

Key high schools implement all-residential closed teaching, and each month is divided into big weeks and small weeks. The big week has a holiday at noon on Friday and returns to school on Sunday afternoon, and the small week only has a few hours on Sunday afternoon.

Local students in City A, city students like Ye Mei, of course, will be taken home by their parents to enjoy their family relationships.Those students in the suburbs and counties will also choose to take the school bus home on the two days of the big week.

Ye Mei always thought that Li Chengxun, who was so excellent in grades that everyone was angry with God, was the same as the students in the county. Li Chengxun read it.

Ye Mei is a warm-hearted person. She asked Li Chengxun why he didn't go home. Li Chengxun said that his family had something to do and he would not go back.

Ye Mei took the initiative to invite Li Chengxun to her home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Li Chengxun refused, saying that there was food in the school cafeteria. Ye Mei believed it and left.

Later, when Ye Mei was eating in the restaurant, she heard Li Chengxun's classmate in the county talk about him, and then she realized that the former cold and arrogant student bully was actually a poor household in their county.Ye Mei didn't know how difficult Li Chengxun's family was. Just seeing that he didn't come home once a semester, and he was never seen in the restaurant, it was not difficult to guess his family situation.

At that time, the high school did not have the poverty stipend that it has now. Ye Mei couldn't imagine how a student who was completely funded by the folks would spend cold and lonely nights frugally and frugally.

From the day she knew the truth, Ye Mei began to pay attention to Li Chengxun's every move. When she saw him buying ten cold steamed buns and a pack of mustard for a week's ration, Ye Mei's sympathy burst instantly.

She took out her new year's money from the bank, put it in an envelope, and secretly stuffed it under the pillow in Li Chengxun's dormitory.

I thought that Li Chengxun would rely on it to get through the whole semester, but who knows, the next day after class, before the students in the class could react, a brown envelope slammed and fell to the stunned Life committee member Ye Mei.

Ye Mei will never forget that day, and Li Chengxun's hurt and humiliated eyes.

He pointed at her nose, shook his hands for a long time, and shouted: "You don't need to pity me!"

Ye Mei gritted her teeth, held back tears, stared at the envelope on the table for five seconds, raised her head, and said to Li Chengxun: "If I offended you, I apologize to you, but I just want to tell you something, Sometimes, too much pride can kill you."

Li Chengxun stared at her, panting heavily, and looked at her for a long time before turning around and running away.

Yemei's money was not sent out in the end, and the relationship between the two also fell to freezing point.

Later, the students all said that Li Chengxun used the winter and summer vacations as a tutor for junior high school students, made a lot of money, and no longer had to worry about tuition and living expenses.

After hearing this, Ye Mei smiled with moist brows and eyes.

Only she knew that Li Chengxun's student, Ye Zihan, was her little uncle's precious son.

She thought that if she didn't tell, she could keep the secret for a lifetime, and at the same time, keep Li Chengxun's self-esteem.But after the college entrance examination, Li Chengxun, the number one science student in City A, who has come to the end of all hardships, handed over the reward of 3 yuan to Ye Mei immediately after the student aid ceremony sponsored by a certain company.

"Thank you, Ye Mei, without you, without Hanhan, there would be no Li Chengxun today."

Ye Mei was stunned.

It turned out that Li Chengxun knew everything. .

Yemei confiscated the 3 yuan, and she couldn't take it, because Li Chengxun needed the money more than she did.

Li Chengxun is no longer the lonely and conceited boy in the past. The tempering of life has made him deeply understand that the worst situation for a person is often not poverty or disease, but the eternal and desperate darkness like hell after the spirit and will are closed.

In fact, in addition to cruelty and suffering, the essence of life also has innumerable beauties.Finding the sunshine of life in a difficult environment, the dark world suddenly became clear, and when the dark clouds were pushed away, he suddenly discovered how narrow and paranoid the boy before was.

Since then, Li Chengxun and Ye Mei have become friends, friends in the true sense.

Facts have proved that this kind of friendship based on trust and rooted in the heart is unbreakable.

Ye Mei followed Li Chengxun's gaze and looked into the distance.

After wandering in the vortex of memories for a while, Ye Mei thought of something and asked Li Chengxun, "How is your father's illness?"

Li Chengxun's mother died of illness when he was a freshman, and he spent all his savings in order to bury his mother.Last year, his father was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, which has reached the advanced stage.

Li Chengxun frowned, sighed, and said, "Take the time. I want to take him to City A for medical treatment, but he doesn't want to leave his hometown no matter what. He is afraid that I will burn him in the end."

The traditional concept of Chinese peasants is to rest in the soil, and they have a natural resistance to cremation.

Ye Mei looked at Li Chengxun, bit her lower lip, "If you have financial difficulties, you must tell me. Don't be like that at school, you're so awkward."

Li Chengxun smiled lightly, "My current income can still afford it."

"Spring City will open after that year, will you still buy the house?" Spring City is a high-end livable community developed by a famous real estate group in China. Li Chengxun once mentioned to her that he wanted to buy a house there.

Li Chengxun was silent for a few seconds, "Let's talk about it at that time. If you have a good income here, you can probably make a down payment if you put together."

Ye Mei looked at him apologetically, "I'm sorry, Li Chengxun, for dragging you into this muddy water."

"I voluntarily." Li Chengxun excused Ye Mei lightly.

To be honest, he was unwilling to do such a thing against his will.But he is completely powerless to change the status quo, even though he is good enough today, and his income is considerable, but the heavy debts, his terminally ill father, and the upcoming mortgage are like three mountains, weighing heavily on him. shoulder.

He also hesitated about the money-making platform Yemei provided him, and even thought about giving up his favorite house, but in the end, his inner desire-desire still prevailed. He was lonely for too long, and his longing for home far surpassed yearning for a position of power.

People should know how to repay their kindness.

It was precisely because it was Ye Mei that he readily agreed.

"Ye Mei, thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't dare to think about the house." Li Chengxun sincerely thanked Ye Mei. If she hadn't provided him with such an easy opportunity to make money, he wouldn't even have thought about the house in Spring City. Dare to think.

"You and me are welcome, I still say the same thing, if you are in trouble, you can find me, if you need money, you can find me!" Ye Mei said seriously.

A warm feeling surged in Li Chengxun's heart, he was about to thank him, but his eyes froze, he was stuck there and couldn't turn around.

Ye Mei couldn't hear his voice for a long time, and looked at Li Chengxun strangely.

Then, she got even weirder and more curious.

She rarely saw such a rich expression on Li Chengxun's face. It seemed that she was holding back an emotion that was about to explode, or that she was enduring a certain limit and would collapse in the next second. .

Following Li Chengxun's line of sight, Ye Mei's expression became the same as Li Chengxun's, even more exaggerated. .

Ye Mei closed her eyes severely, stomped her feet, and yelled loudly at the funny swimming figure hiding in the flower garden: "Miguo! Come out!"

Miguo only cared about avoiding the army green figure in front of him, completely ignoring the crisis behind his buttocks.

Hearing Ye Mei's cry, she trembled with fright, and when she looked back, her face turned red.

What, Li Chengxun is here?

She was walking backwards, just as she was about to jump out and explain to Ye Mei as she pushed aside a bunch of holly.But suddenly her feet slipped, and before she knew what was going on, she turned face down and threw herself on the tangled holly tree.

"Be careful--"

"Rice crackers—"

Ye Mei and Li Chengxun reached out to the chubby shadow at the same time...

Five or six meters away from Miguo, Yue Tingchuan, who was bending over to check the fire hydrant, suddenly frowned and raised his head...
