Chapter 3 The boy who should not be contacted (2)
Soon, the team leader came over with a packaged pizza to deliver the delivery task. Masako glanced at the delivery address on the box and said, "Let me deliver it."

"Okay." The team leader told "veteran employee" Lu Jian'er, "Please explain to her the precautions, I have other things to attend to."

Lu Jianer took the pizza and told Masako while looking at it: "The place you are going to is Xinyu Building. It is about 10 minutes to the right in the middle of the street. The entrance is very conspicuous and you can see it right away. Order a pizza The one is No. 3002, Block A, you can just take the elevator to the 30th floor. By the way, remember to be on time, because the people living in that building are pampered and rich people."

"Okay." Masako wrote it down, with a faint smile on her face, and set off with a pizza.

At dusk, the wind in the city center was a bit strong, and the tall sycamore trees on the side of the road were rustling.According to Lu Jianer, within 10 minutes of walking, the towering building suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

This is a high-end residence with extremely strict security measures. Masako waited for a while in the bright hall before being allowed to enter.She walked into the elevator and pressed the floor number.

When the elevator ascended, the atmosphere was very quiet. While waiting, she looked at her own figure reflected on the stainless steel door, and flicked her bangs so that they hung down to her eyelashes, covering the faintly exposed bruises on her right forehead.

"Ding--"

The elevator door slowly opened.

The lights in front of her eyes were bright, and Masako walked into the smooth marble aisle with a pizza, and was walking around the corner when she suddenly heard footsteps coming from the other side.

If he had heard footsteps three seconds earlier, it might have been too late, but it happened at this second, and his sight was blocked by a corner.

As soon as she got there, she was hit on the shoulder by a girl!The pizza spilled all over the floor, and the girl's bag fell to the ground. The two took a step back at the same time. Masako frowned and supported the wall, while the girl quickly grabbed the bag from the ground. She didn't seem to care about the greasy bag and the heel of the pizza. Her eyes were red, and she covered her lips with the back of her left hand, and a choked sob came from between her fingers. Masako gave her an extra look because of her state, and she walked to the elevator to press the button without paying attention, and walked quickly as soon as the door opened walked in.

Just as she was about to clean up the pizza, someone passed her by again. The breath of that person spread to her heart first. When Masako got up, he had already reached the elevator entrance and "slapped" the door that was about to close, and said to the person inside: "come out."

Masako looked over there.

The elevator entrance was a little quiet, only the crying of girls.

The boy is tall and tall, and he firmly blocks the door with one elbow, staring at the people inside.

The girl didn't speak, but still cried, and he said, "She is my sister."

"Sister?" The girl quickly answered in a crying voice, "Then your sister is really close to you!"

"She's my sister." He emphasized.

This sentence is the same as the previous sentence.

Masako looked at this boy, the three sentences he said since he came out to now seemed to be trying to keep his girlfriend, but none of them meant to compromise.

His words and tone seemed to be separated, stay for stay, self for self, he distinguished the two so clearly and calmly, it made the girl even more excited: "Do you think of me as your girlfriend?"

Masako still looked at him.

He stood under the lamp, and the dim wall lamp hit the side of his face. After hearing this sentence, he slowly retracted the hand that was blocking the elevator entrance, and he put it in his trouser pocket.

She saw him take two steps back. This was a provocative boyfriend attitude. The girl in the elevator was breathing faster, but he didn't keep her. , you can leave as you want" haughty suggestion, such an appearance was extremely ruthless, and then the girl couldn't help but want to come out, and at this moment, he was right under the eyes of his girlfriend - pressing the elevator door with his own hands!

"Duan Yousi! You idiot..."

The girl's heart-piercing shout was silenced with the sound of the elevator door closing, and Masako guessed that she probably wanted to call the word "bastard".

After the noisy space calmed down, the boy turned back the same way, and a farce suddenly started and ended suddenly. His left hand was always firmly in his trouser pocket, calmer than anyone she had ever seen.

She stood up after packing up the pizza. Under the bright light, the two of them looked at each other like passers-by. His eyes were lazy and indifferent, and his facial features were unexpectedly good-looking, but her shadow did not stay in his eyes for a second. Passing by her shoulders, her arms touched lightly, Masako's shirt rubbed against the skin of his arms slightly, and the bangs on her forehead were also slightly fluttering because of his passing by. After passing by like this, he continued to walk his way, and she turned back Turning around to look at him, seeing his back that looks determined and indifferent after breaking up.

For the rest of the journey, the boy was in the front and she was in the back. The two happened to be on the same road. He kept walking in front, and she kept a distance from him. At the end, she watched him open the door of 3002 and walk in, and then " The door shut with a bang.

After pausing on the spot for five seconds, Masako went to the door and rang the bell.

It took about half a minute for the door to open, but it was a girl who came out to greet you.The sound of the TV was faintly heard in the living room. The girl was holding the remote control in her hand. She looked a little like that boy between her brows. She was very beautiful, but she was wearing loose men's pajamas. She took a look at Masako and asked, "Takeaway? "

"It's pizza delivery, but..."

"Oh..." Before Masako finished speaking, the girl responded lazily, and turned to look at the living room, "Duan Yousi, come out and pay."

There was no response in the living room, and the girl shouted while opening the pizza box: "Duan Yousi, I asked you to pay..."

Still no response.

The girl finally got impatient, turned around and called, "Brother, come out and pay! I'm hungry!"

"I'm sorry..." Masako interrupted the girl and explained, "Something happened on the way here, the pizza fell on the ground, so..."

"Can't eat?" The girl quickly picked up.

"Ah."

"what……"

She looked a little depressed. Masako expressed apology and said that she could send another copy. The girl had a straightforward personality and didn't blame her, just shrugged.

Masako closed the door. From the beginning to the end, she didn't see the boy again. It was the girl who opened the door for her, paid her, and then closed the door with a "bang".

At eight o'clock in the evening, part-time work is over.

Lu Jian'er carried her bag, stretched her waist towards the night sky, and exhaled: "Okay, go home!" Then she turned her head to look at Masako, "I'm really lucky today! That family actually I didn't blame you, otherwise I would be annoyed when I received complaints!"

"Ah."

"By the way, we can't let other students know about our part-time job. As I said, Grai prohibits students from going out to work part-time."

"Don't worry, I know." Masako stroked Lu Jian'er's hair behind her ears.

Lu Jian'er smiled, and the bear pendant on the bag flickered, and a red light flashed on her face.

After saying goodbye, the two went home by car, and it was almost nine o'clock when they got home.

After the gate is opened, there is a garden of Japanese style. In the courtyard, green plum trees grow against the stone wall, and the mottled shadows of the trees fall on the stone path. Dozens of pots of jasmine are placed around the path.

She counted, and there was not one pot missing.

Looking up at Xiuxiu's mother's house next door, Xiukai, a middle school student on the second floor who was peeping at her through the window, suddenly lowered her head, pretending to be doing homework.

No neighbors came to pick up potted plants, and Xiuxiu's mother didn't ask her to discuss making up lessons, so the house was deserted all day long.

"Where did you go?"

Accompanied by a "boom" in the living room, a gloomy question came from the steps of the courtyard, and the night wind just stopped, and the air was oppressive.

"Where did you go to play, and you came back so late?"

The woman is 40 years old, not old, but her temples are already a little white, her complexion is dark yellow, and she is walking down the steps step by step, her lips are tightly pressed, as if suppressing the anger of the day.

"Mom." She replied, "I'm making up lessons."

"Make up lessons?"

"Ah."

"Where did the money come from?"

Masako pursed her lips and did not answer, Xiu Kai on the second floor next door seemed to want to hear their conversation clearly and opened the window.She looked over, and the woman followed her gaze. Xiukai hurriedly closed the window, and the woman grabbed Masako's hand and pulled her into the room: "Go upstairs to review your homework, don't show your face outside!"

Masako was dragged all the way into the living room by her, the woman suddenly turned around and slapped her shoulders and arms vigorously, as if to slap away the dust she had collected from a day of running outside.

She frowned and didn't say a word. After the filming was finally finished, the woman stroked her face: "Go upstairs to review your homework."

She walked away stroking her arms. Just as she walked up the stairs, she turned around and asked softly, "Mom, have you taken your cold medicine?"

"Cold medicine..." the woman repeated her words.

"I'll help you pour water."

Masako returned to the living room, and she took out some bottles and cans from the drawer under the coffee table, poured one or two pills of each medicine into the palm of her hand, and gave it to the woman.The woman took the water glass and kept staring into Masako's eyes.

"I'm going upstairs to review my homework first."

"Masako." She had just walked up the stairs when she was stopped again.

The living room was turned off, there was no light, and the atmosphere was depressing and tense.Masako turned around to look at the woman again, a disproportionate smile slowly unfolded on the woman's gloomy, dark yellow, expressionless face.

"Come back sooner next time."

early morning.

The breeze blows outside the window, and the leaves rustle.

"Ah? You're not going to do it?" Lu Jian'er asked her in a low voice during class.

"Yeah." She lowered her head and was busy taking notes, "My family doesn't agree with me coming home late, and my mother has caught a cold recently, so I have to take care of her."

"You only work for a week, and you don't get much money."

"It doesn't matter, the family's finances are not tight for the time being, and I will come back after I convince my mother."

"Oh..." Not knowing where Lu Jian'er heard the news, she asked Masako softly, "Are you half-Chinese and Japanese?"

"Ah."

"No wonder you are beautiful, people of mixed race are generally beautiful, so you can speak Japanese?"

She smiled slightly, but did not respond to Jane.

"Lu Jian'er!" Suddenly, the teacher yelled towards them, and Lu Jian'er was so startled that she couldn't hold the pen steady and almost dropped it on the table.

Masako quietly pushed her notes to Lu Jian'er's hand, and Jian'er stood up, looking for a chance to peek at the notes below.

"Teacher!" Yi Xialing at the other table lazily raised her hand, "Lu Jian'er peeked at Mo Yazi's notes."

Jane trembled all over.

Masako twirled her pen slightly between her fingers, she turned her head and looked at Yi Xialing quietly.

Yi Xialing chatted and laughed with the girls around her, and looked back at her meaningfully.

"Lu Jianer, next time answer the question by yourself, sit down." The teacher was displeased.

Jian'er sat down blushing.

"And Mo Yazi, don't..."

"Teacher!" Yu Qi, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly raised his hand to signal, "The value range of your question is wrong. I calculated it three times, and it is different from your answer."

"Really?" The teacher looked back at the blackboard.

Lu Jian'er lowered her head and breathed a sigh of relief.

The attention was diverted, Masako continued to read the notes, while Yi Xialing at the side stared at her expressionlessly, with sharp eyes.

After school at noon, Masako was dragged by Lu Jianer to the school cafeteria. The decoration there was very fresh, not so much a cafeteria, but more like an enlarged restaurant.

"Our school's restaurant is very famous, it's so beautiful, and the food is ordered by ourselves, but the food fee is too expensive." Lu Jian'er said, pulling Masako to sit at the table for two by the window, "But today It's okay, I'll treat you to lunch, just order!"

"Thank you." Yazi smiled.

There are quite a few students in the restaurant, and the sunlight shines through the glass windows on the white wooden chairs, which is very elegant.

Lu Jian'er ordered two cups of milk tea first, and she looked very funny when ordering the main course. While staring at the price list, she wrote and drew in the small notebook she carried with her, probably to settle accounts.

Masako looked at her with her chin in her hand, but Lu Jian'er saw it when she raised her head inadvertently, so she waved the pen shyly: "I'm sorry, I'm used to it."

"It's okay, you can continue."

There were two girls sitting at a table in another conspicuous part of the restaurant. At this moment, Masako saw the girl who bumped into her yesterday.

She is so beautiful that she can be recognized at a glance. She wears the same uniform as all the students in this restaurant, but she is so beautiful and mature that she is not like her peers.Her long hair hung down to her waist, her skin was transparent, and her hands, which were half-supporting her head, had delicate manicures.She also put on light makeup, she was completely different from yesterday's distraught appearance, her glamor was a bit outrageous.

Low-fat whole wheat bread, milk, and vegetable salad were placed on that dining table. She tapped her cheek and chatted with the friend across from her, and the sunlight just fell on her table.

——That is the best location of the restaurant.

Lu Jian'er followed her gaze, then turned her head and said softly: "Ah, that's An Qiyan." Then she added, "Look at what they eat every day, it's not enough to fit between their teeth."

"It's a diet meal." Masako said.

"You're thin enough, and if you lose any more, you'll be reduced to a paper figure." Lu Jian'er said, moving closer to Masako, her voice lowered, "The girl opposite An Qiyan is Yu Qi's sister... "

Masako looked over, and Lu Jianer reminded: "Don't look so obvious, that woman is very fierce."

The girl had long brown hair, and her eyebrows and eyes were indeed similar to Yu Qi's, but her face and nose bridge were more majestic, very tall, thin and gorgeous.

Lu Jian'er said: "Her name is Yu Wenyi, and she is very close to An Qiyan."

Masako took a sip of milk tea, and Lu Jianer saw that she wanted to continue listening, so she said: "Every school has one or two school belles and school girls, and An Qiyan is the number one beauty in our Grai, and Yu Wenyi is ranked No. [-]. They are seniors in the third grade, and they have a very good relationship. The social circles of all schools in our district are very mixed. Many people like An Qiyan's style, and the most amazing thing is that her father is The principal of our school."

This kind of person is really the pride of heaven.

Masako let out a disinterested "hmm", and Lu Jianer continued to look over there, as if she was still thinking of a more brilliant introduction.

"Ding--"

The glass door of the dining room opened slowly, and as a group of boys walked in, the surroundings became noisy, and many students got up and left as if to avoid the limelight.Lu Jian'er urged Masako to look, and she just looked over.

When the boys walked to An Qiyan's table, the students on that side had almost left.The leading boy was tall and thin, with his tie tied crookedly. When he walked to the table, he threw the mobile phone in his trouser pocket on the table: "You and Yoss fell out again?"

The girl's lunch was interrupted, and the leisurely chat atmosphere was also broken. An Qiyan sat silently, but Yu Wenyi, who was opposite, replied slowly: "Why are you so fierce?"

"An Qiyan!"

The boy called her name, An Qiyan stroked her slightly frowning brow with her fingers.After a while, she left her seat, and Yu Wenyi immediately followed her.As a result, the others looked at each other in blank dismay, and the boy kicked the table with a dark face.

The noise of the entire restaurant was subdued unconsciously.

"That boy's name is Wan Ye." Lu Jian'er said suddenly.

Masako just looked at the menu and nodded without asking anything else.

"They're talking about Duan Yousi." Jian'er said in a daze again.

"Who?"

"It's An Qiyan's boyfriend," Lu Jian'er raised her chin, "he is handsome, and his family is rich, but I have never met his family."

"Oh."

Seeing Masako's reaction, Lu Jian'er continued: "Duan Yousi and An Qiyan are very famous couples in our school. They have known each other since junior high school. They have separated and reunited many times, but none of them were real. In a few days, we will be back together again..."

"Do you want to add some sugar to your milk tea?" Masako interrupted her.

"okay……"

After the boys stayed for a while, they left the restaurant one after another as if they were about to attend some appointment.Lu Jian'er said something quickly after they left: "There will be a good show at school later."

Masako gave Lu Jianer all the lunch that had just been served, and then leaned on the sofa to drink milk tea, not curious about any chores, and deaf to any entertainment.The sun shines on her hair, forming a small circle of light.

At this time, the boy at the next table came down to their table after being repeatedly urged by his companion, he hesitated and called out: "Mo Yazi."

She looked up, and Lu Jian'er also looked up.

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"No, but I don't want to fall in love, I'm sorry." Masako knew everything, and she answered the boy calmly and almost indifferently.The boy froze for a moment, said "goodbye" in embarrassment, and left disappointed.

"Huh?" Lu Jian'er wiped her mouth with a tissue, "Masako, you don't have a boyfriend? You're so pretty."

"Yeah." She nodded lightly and looked out the window, "I just want to finish my studies with peace of mind."

The school basketball court was surrounded by iron nets. After lunch, Masako was dragged by Lu Jianer to sit in the stands.

There are many students around, and the school uniforms are different. It seems that students from different schools in the area have come.Fortunately, the venue was big enough and the atmosphere was lively enough. The students waved their ribbons, and there were cheerleaders dancing in the middle of the court.

The group of boys in the restaurant before were sitting in the rest area. What didn’t match the atmosphere was that the leading boy, Wan Ye, hung his head and remained silent. A boy patted him on the shoulder, and he pushed the boy’s hand away irritably. .

Yu Wenyi sat with An Qiyan in the first row of the opposite stand, An Qiyan's expression was a little unnatural, she clasped her hands on her knees, and said nothing.

"What competition?" Masako turned her head and asked Jian'er.

"Our school's basketball game against Yi'an High School was not organized by the school, but by Yi'an's basketball team captain."

"Pick it up?"

"That's right, the captain of Yi'an's basketball team likes An Qiyan. He made a bet with Duan Yousi. The loser will give up An Qiyan. This bet is very famous, and the nearby schools have heard of it." So now there are quite a few students from other schools who have sneaked in here."

It turned out that this was what Lu Jianer was talking about. She slowly shifted her gaze to An Qiyan. Although the girl still maintained the aloofness she had at noon, her clenched hands and the corners of her mouth without a smile had already changed. See signs of tension.

"Yi An's people are here!" Suddenly, someone shouted first.

As the court gradually boiled, a tall boy in the uniform of the Yi'an team walked into the basketball court with a ball on his shoulders.He looked contemptuously at the boys in the rest area, and the team players who followed him were as arrogant as he was.

Wan Ye leaned against the back of the chair, and looked at the boy coldly. The boy's eyes moved to the stands, and An Qiyan's face became even uglier.

"Where's Duan Yousi?" After standing in the center of the arena, the boy asked.

Wan Ye said, "He doesn't even bother to play with a team like yours."

The boy said: "Is it he who disdains playing ball, or does he disdain his woman?"

The students in the stands immediately booed loudly.

"He is the captain of the basketball team of Yi'an High School." Lu Jian'er reminded Masako, "His name is Yanchen."

Although Duan Yousi did not show up, the game started under Wan Ye's insistence.If the game does not start, it will be regarded as a waiver. Once that happens, An Qiyan is Yan Chen's man.

A whistle sounded, and the audience cheered loudly.

An Qiyan stared intently at the scoreboard, while Masako looked into the field.
