Gentlemen's Friends

Chapter 10 Part 4: Four ([-])
The force of this blow was really strong, Qu Tongqiu fell on his back under the chair, the pain was so bad.Then he was grabbed by the collar and lifted up. He was punched twice in the stomach, and then kicked and flew out.

Qu Tongqiu's eyes went dark for a while, and then his consciousness became clear again. His ears were still "buzzing", and he heard Chu Mo yelling angrily: "Zhuang Wei, don't test me like this again!"

"Who wants to test you?"

"Aren't you too naive to piss me off with this kind of thing?"

Qu Tongqiu lay on the ground in a daze for a while, seeing that the two were arguing so hard that they ignored his presence, and Chu Mo would not come to beat him again, so he slowly got up and escaped.

Even though he was used to being treated like this, now he felt that being a cannon fodder for a supporting role was really uncomfortable.

Qu Tongqiu staggered downstairs, and there was a man walking up in front of him. Seeing that man's face, Qu Tongqiu immediately felt a sense of security from the bottom of his heart, and said happily, "Boss."

Ren Ningyuan raised his eyes and saw his bruised nose and swollen face, and frowned slightly: "Why did you get beaten again?" He glanced at the shoe prints on his clothes, "Well, Chu Mo is already here? How did you provoke him?"

Qu Tongqiu didn't dare to hide it, and honestly told the reason for the beating. Ren Ningyuan listened carefully, and then smiled: "Don't meddle in their affairs, so as not to cause trouble."

Qu Tongqiu agreed, a little aggrieved, but thinking that Ren Ningyuan would see the two entangled in the room when he entered the door next time, he was worried again, and said awkwardly: "Boss, you are here to find Zhuang Wei. what?"

Ren Ningyuan let out a "huh" and looked at him, but he was not in a hurry to go upstairs, he just reached out to support his chin, let him turn his face, and looked at his swollen cheeks and the bump on the back of his head.

He asked him to lift up his clothes to help him check the bruises on his stomach.Then he stretched out his fingers and pressed lightly on the wound.Qu Tongqiu "hissed" gasped.

Ren Ningyuan withdrew his hand and frowned: "Go to the hospital."

Qu Tongqiu nodded perfunctorily.If he went to the hospital after being beaten, he would have to go there every day, and the meal money would have to be used to pay for the medicine.

"Let's go." Ren Ningyuan turned and went down the stairs.Qu Tongqiu didn't expect that he would accompany him in person, so he was flattered and said, "No need."

"If you don't check it, you won't know if it's broken." Seeing his hesitation, Ren Ningyuan said, "Don't worry about the cost."

Qu Tongqiu burst into tears of gratitude: "Boss..."

Ren Ningyuan smiled and said, "I can't let you call me boss for so long."

Qu Tongqiu followed closely behind him, deeply moved.

The two went down the stairs one after the other, Ren Ningyuan asked again: "Can you walk?"

"I can walk and walk, I'm fine."

"Yeah. Chu Mo won't hit you again in the future."

Qu Tongqiu didn't feel it when he was beaten, but he almost burst into tears after hearing what he said.Being able to serve as Ning Yuan's follower is the happiest thing he has ever done since entering university.

After this day, in addition to following Ren Ningyuan wholeheartedly and dealing with homework seriously, there is another thing that attracts adolescent boys like Qu Tongqiu - to have a girlfriend.

Seeing that all the students in the class are eager to move, each has a date or someone to show love to, and no longer stays in the dormitory playing cards on weekends, and his behavior has become mature, pretending to be a "man", which makes Qu Tongqiu very envious .

However, where to find a girlfriend is a big problem.He couldn't strike up a conversation like some of his colleagues. When reading in the library, he could always try his best to get the phone number of the girl sitting across from him; the circle of activities was also narrow, and the friends of boys were still boys; After the dinner party, after paying several times for everyone to eat and drink, he didn't want to go again.

Several people in the dormitory, except him and Zhuang Wei, all have dating partners.Zhuang Wei is the flower of Gaoling, loved by many people, but no one can pick it up, only he is lonely.

At first, he didn’t think there was anything wrong, but one day when he was going to eat with Ren Ningyuan as usual, Chu Mo scolded him: “You follow Ningyuan all day, he doesn’t even have time to be alone with his girlfriend, don’t you bother me?” Ah You."

Qu Tongqiu never thought that Ren Ningyuan would have a girlfriend, let alone that he was almost the same as a personal servant, so he would not notice it, and he was stunned for a long time before saying, "Ah, the boss has a girlfriend?"

Chu Mo snorted: "There are not too many girls who like Ning Yuan. Is there anyone in our school who doesn't like him? What's so strange about getting a girlfriend."

Ren Ningyuan smiled and said, "Chu Mo, don't talk nonsense."

"You, it's nothing to be open about your relationship, but you just like to pretend to be mysterious. If it weren't for my sharp eyes, you would have almost hidden it from me."

Ren Ningyuan smiled: "Let's order, how about fried mutton with green onions, who wouldn't eat it?"

Qu Tongqiu also picked up a seat and sat down, looking at the calm Ren Ningyuan from time to time.Whether Ren Ningyuan likes beautiful girls, or has a good impression of Zhuang Wei, or is philanthropic, or indifferent... Even if he is so close, he never knows, and he is almost confused.

Chu Mo said: "Forget it, you are so pitiful, fat man, I have one ready-made, let me introduce you to one."

Zhuang Wei sneered: "You are the only one who is troublesome. Do you know what conditions he wants?"

"What conditions can he have, as long as he is a woman."

Qu Tongqiu couldn't make a sound, his face turned red and his nose was sweating when he heard it.

"I know someone who is eager to find a boyfriend, Xiao Wei from the art department, have you seen it? If you haven't seen it, at least you've heard of it."

Qu Tongqiu was taken aback: "That... doesn't seem very suitable..."

"Why is it inappropriate?! She is a good match for you, with big breasts. Don't you like big ones?"

Qu Tongqiu blushed with anxiety.It is good to have breasts, but it is not enough to have breasts.How could he have the ability to hold back a girl who was famous for his romantic affairs in the whole school.

"Personality may not be very suitable..."

Chu Mo said "cut": "You are the only one who is still picking and choosing. Who will help you like this."

Qu Tongqiu was too embarrassed to say anything.Everyone should be grateful for other people's help, but Chu Mo's behavior reminded him of a roommate who used to wear out old clothes, expired snacks that he couldn't bear to throw away, and discarded pots and pans. , stuffed them all to him, and said: "This is for you, isn't it good?! The bottom is still there."

It is reasonable to express gratitude for gifts, but he is not a beggar, holding the pile of unusable rags, sometimes he is confused about whether there is any kindness in it.

During the cold scene, the dishes were brought up one after another.

Ren Ningyuan said gently: "Don't worry. This kind of thing depends on fate. It will come when it's due, and it's useless to force it."

"But if he doesn't get a girlfriend sooner, won't he still pester you every day? Can you bear it?"

Ren Ningyuan smiled: "It's not that exaggerated."

"Hey, fat man, Ning Yuan doesn't care about it, but you should be more conscious, right? Do you have to guard the door when Ning Yuan is dating? I have never seen you so annoying."

Ren Ningyuan ordered some chopsticks, and his tone was still gentle: "Stop making trouble, let's eat food."

Qu Tongqiu looked at Chu Mo, then at Ren Ningyuan, who was not showing any signs of emotion or anger, and suddenly realized with fear that he could not even realize his wish of being a follower.

The more you worry, the more you run into ghosts.

On the second day of the public class, Qu Tongqiu was late, sneaked into the large trapezoidal classroom through the back door, and found the eye-catching trio at a glance, but there was a girl sitting in the seat next to Ren Ningyuan.

Being able to sit beside Ren Ningyuan regularly is one of the rewards he was honored to receive from Ren Ningyuan.The seat was reserved for his loyal little follower, and he would not let others sit.Looking left and right, Qu Tongqiu felt that the girl's slender back was very strange, she was not a classmate in the class, she should have sneaked in to accompany Ren Ningyuan in class, and knew that she must be her current girlfriend.

There was no room for the old seat, so Qu Tongqiu had to find a seat in the last row, and while he was flipping through the book to copy the notes on the blackboard, he looked at the backs of the two people in front of him.

The girl was very lively and active, she raised her chin and whispered to Ren Ningyuan from time to time. Ren Ningyuan was always indifferent and didn't like to be disturbed during class, but he was quite patient with her, and he looked down and listened very gently.

Qu Tongqiu looked at it for a while, feeling a little sad, knowing that what Chu Mo said was right, Ren Ningyuan was in a relationship, so he couldn't follow up like before.

The two-person world can occasionally be shared with friends, such as with Chu Mo Zhuang Wei.But you can't be disturbed by your subordinates.In the future, I'm afraid it won't be his turn to even help the boss clean and buy three meals.

I am embarrassed to rush forward to say hello, and I am also a little depressed.

After class was over, Qu Tongqiu packed up his textbooks and slipped out the back door before Ren Ningyuan stood up.

In the next two days, Qu Tongqiu was honest and honest. He went back to the dormitory after class, and never went to be Ren Ningyuan's little tail, nor did he meet Ren Ningyuan.

Although I miss Ren Ningyuan very much, I want to continue to follow behind him step by step, serving tea and water and running errands on my behalf.But Ren Ningyuan has a girlfriend and needs more personal space and privacy.The boss's happiness, he must consciously defend it.

On the third day, the two met by chance on the road.Ren Ningyuan greeted him proactively, smiling, and didn't ask why he hadn't seen him these two days, as if he didn't pay attention to his presence or not.

After exchanging pleasantries, he said, "By the way, I want to change some new furniture. If you are free today, come and help clean it up."

As soon as Qu Tongqiu heard that he could still be useful, he immediately cheered up and hurriedly followed. Ren Ningyuan took the initiative to assign things to him, which made his heart beat with joy.

Ren Ningyuan only rented an apartment to live in until graduation, but he was also very particular. He changed the bed, sofa and curtains left by the landlord, and added a few chic wall hangings.

People from the furniture store helped to arrange the big things, and there was only trivial cleaning work left. Qu Tongqiu quickly took care of it, and then moved the ladder to hang the luminous clock on the wall.

His clothes were old and were too baggy now that he didn't realize that his trousers got caught on the nail heads on the ladder.With a kick on his feet, he took advantage of his strength and strode up, only to feel the cold behind him for a moment, and half of his pants were torn off.

Qu Tongqiu was dumbfounded, this is not the worst, the weather is too hot, he only wears these old cotton trousers, the inside is naked, this pull, most of his buttocks are exposed.

Thinking that Ren Ningyuan was still watching from behind, Qu Tongqiu froze with embarrassment, and was about to climb down, but there was a "hissing" sound, and a big tear in his pants.

Qu Tongqiu frantically tried to untie the cloth wrapped around the nail, and finally turned around, sweating profusely.This was too embarrassing, and even Ren Ningyuan's expression was a little unnatural, and the two faced each other, stiffly silent for two seconds.

Fortunately, Ren Ningyuan didn't make fun of him. Seeing that he was at a loss with his trousers, he said gently, "Don't worry, wait until I find a pair of smaller trousers, you can wear them first."

Soon Ren Ningyuan found out a pair of trousers made of fresh and breathable material, with underwear attached, and said with a smile: "It's better to remember to wear it inside. There are no new ones, you don't mind."

Qu Tongqiu looked ashamed, thanked him again and again, and went to change it gratefully, only kneeling down to thank him.Wearing Ren Ningyuan's clothes, I feel different all over my body, as if I have won a certificate, and I am so honored that my whole body is hot, "Then, I will wear it tonight and wash it, and I will send it to you tomorrow."

"It's okay," Ren Ningyuan sized him up, "It's quite suitable for you, so keep it."

Qu Tongqiu received this great reward, tremblingly said: "Boss..."

Ren Ningyuan smiled and said: "You tore your pants because you came to help me. I should pay you a pair. Don't clean up, let's have a rest, what do you want to drink?"

Qu Tongqiu's heart was hot, and he was about to faint from happiness, when he suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

Ren Ningyuan put down the icy plum soup in his hand and went to open the door.A curly-haired girl in a princess dress with puff sleeves came in.

Qu Tongqiu felt unfamiliar at first, seeing her grabbing Ren Ningyuan's hand, her voice was soft and sweet: "Brother Ningyuan, go shopping with me!" Then he remembered that she was Ren Ningyuan's current girlfriend .

Ren Ningyuan let her pull, smiled and said: "Oh, this can't be done, I have guests."

Qu Tongqiu wondered anxiously whether he had to give up space for the two of them to be alone, so he heard the girl say: "Then you can also invite guests to go shopping with us."

Ren Ningyuan comforted her gently, then turned around and introduced: "This is Chu Xian, Chu Mo's younger sister. Xiaoxian, this is Qu Tongqiu."

Qu Tongqiu greeted her nervously, and felt that she was really sweet and cute. No wonder Ren Ningyuan doted on her so much, and it would be too much of a hindrance if he continued to stand.

"Boss, I'll go now..."

Ren Ningyuan looked at him: "What's the matter?"

"No," Qu Tongqiu smirked, "You...you..."

Ren Ningyuan said "Oh": "It's okay, I still have some things to deal with, and I can't go out with her to play."

Chu Xian made an aggrieved face: "My brother is busy, and you are too. I ran so far, and no one played with me. Then I will go by myself."

"No, girls don't wander around alone at night, go back obediently, huh?"

Chu Xian pouted, pointed at Qu Tongqiu, "Then he can accompany me."

Ren Ningyuan smiled and said: "Don't make trouble." But he could only look at him, "Are you free?"

Being able to help Ren Ningyuan, Qu Tongqiu has no reason not to agree: "Yes, yes, I have been idle."

Chu Xian immediately became elated, and Ren Ningyuan smiled: "That's fine, let's take her for a stroll, don't play too late."

Qu Tongqiu took the task and went out, full of plans to take this little girl who looked like a rich lady to some literary place to play, Chu Xian had already happily waved for a passing taxi, and pointed her head at the driver Said: "Master, go to Huajie."

Qu Tongqiu was taken aback. The street in that place was full of bars. Although it was really bustling with feasting and feasting, the alleys became chaotic as soon as they got deeper, and there were inevitably some undecent people and things.He was about to stop Chu Xian, but saw her deftly dodge and get into the car.

Qu Tongqiu had no choice but to follow in, and said anxiously, "I can't go there, do you know where it is?"

"I just want to go if I know."

"This is not allowed, Ren Ningyuan will definitely not agree. I can't take you to that kind of place!"

Chu Xian didn't take it seriously: "It doesn't matter if you don't go, anyway, I can go in alone, I'm already an adult. I'm going to watch the fun, you can go home if you don't want to play, I won't tell Ning Yuan Brother's."

How could Qu Tongqiu leave her alone, Ren Ningyuan entrusted him, no matter what, he had to send back every single hair, so he had to follow Chu Xian more vigilantly.

Chu Xian's appearance and clothing are too eye-catching. From the moment she stepped into the door of the speakeasy, many people stared at her.With the innocence of a girl like her who was spoiled and grown up, she only felt proud and shy, and didn't feel any danger at all, which made Qu Tongqiu next to her nervous and sweating.

"The wine that man is holding is so beautiful, I want to drink it too."

Qu Tongqiu didn't dare to go far, but he couldn't persuade her, so he had to ask someone for the name of that kind of wine, and then squeezed to the bar to buy her a glass.When she came back, she found that there were a few men with hippie smiles beside her.

I really come here for whatever I am afraid of.Qu Tongqiu had no choice but to bite the bullet, squeezed up with the wine, stood in front of her, and said courageously, "What are you going to do?"

"Who are you? It's none of your business, get out of here."

When Qu Tongqiu saw the vicious person, he was afraid, but he had to do well whatever Ren Ningyuan told him, so he boldly said, "She came with me. What's the matter with you?"

A few people didn't pay attention to the aura he supported at all.

"It's just a glass of wine for a beautiful woman. Do you need to be so nervous?"

"Beauty, why do you come with this kind of person? If you want to find a flower protector, you should be like me. It will be much more interesting to play with us. Do you want to come? Drink this cup first and then talk."

"Why, you don't want to drink the wine we invited?"

"Don't be shameless."

Chu Xian was also a little scared, and slowly hid behind Qu Tongqiu.
