Chapter 26 midnight
Lu Lianguang is a person who, at best, is called attention to the quality of life, and when it is unpleasant, he is picky. Being picky about what to eat, picking brands with things, and picking people with friends is not only picky, but also paranoid. If a table is full of dishes that he doesn’t like, he’d rather be hungry than take a bite.
He can still pretend to be an approachable and sunny appearance to outsiders. In addition, he is born with a good skin. He has gained countless favors since he was a child. He is too lazy to pretend to those close to him. There is friction on both sides.
Fortunately, one of Lu Lianguang’s parents is a professor and the other is a doctor. Disapprove.
Father Lu once asserted: “If you are single for the rest of your life, it is not because of your sexual orientation, but purely because of your personality.”
“There’s nothing wrong with being single for a lifetime.” Lu Lianguang responded calmly to him.
“How can you say that about your son!” Lu’s mother persuaded her and turned to suggest to her son, “Otherwise, don’t apply to Dongling University as your first choice, but rather apply to Dongling Institute of Technology, there are many boys there.”
“I’m going to the Polytechnic University to study liberal arts?”
“What, are you a liberal arts student?”
Lu’s mother was shocked, and Lu’s father hummed and said, “I also said that I don’t care about my son. At least I knew he was a liberal arts student before his college entrance examination.”
The two parents of the Lu family met and fell in love with each other when they were studying abroad, and they got married when they returned to China. They raise their children to implement a stocking strategy, focus on moral, spiritual and psychological education and communication, and pay little attention to the development of their son’s personal choices. In addition to their work, a medical university professor and a chief physician, once they are busy, they can’t take care of anything, and it is not bad to remember to celebrate their children’s birthday every year.
Knowing that Lu Lianguang intends to major in media, Mother Lu calmly thought about his mate selection criteria, then looked at Lu Lianguang with pity and said, “You do have a high chance of being single for the rest of your life, remember to buy more pension insurance.”
Even Lu Lianguang didn’t have much hope for himself, let alone his partner. Most of his few true friends had complained that he was too demanding in everything and had a bad temper.
If he were an ordinary friend today, he wouldn’t say something like “I drink and choose a brand” to the host when he was a guest, but facing Tang Tu, he took off that camouflage mask and showed his true side.
“Ah, do you drink Brazilian? Or Japanese?” Tang Tu asked, already took out two bottles of Japanese beer and handed one to Lu Lianguang. He remembered that Lu Lianguang said just now that he wanted to go to an izakaya, so he should drink it. Get used to Japanese.
He didn’t dare to look at Lu Lianguang, stared at other people’s shoes and asked, “What brand of wine do you usually drink? I’ll know how to buy it next time… next time.”
Lu Lianguang was stunned, almost having an illusion, as if the person in front of him… was trying to please him. He suddenly remembered Tang Tu’s tears and panic yesterday. He misunderstood that Lu Lianguang didn’t want to continue to be friends with him, and said that he had no friends.
The supreme **** who is sought after by millions of people in the virtual world is so humble in order to keep a friend in reality…
It shouldn’t be like this. Lu Lianguang took the wine bottle from Tang Tu’s hand, and without answering, asked, “Bamboo God, do you usually drink?”
“Me? I drink a little sweet wine now and then.”
“Then we’ll drink sweet wine next time.” Lu Lianguang said, “You don’t need to accommodate my preferences, I feel bad.”
He is so straightforward and frank, Tang Zu knows that his character is such a cheerful person, and he is good to everyone. Besides, he also admires bamboo bushes, which is definitely not what he means… But he still exploded with surprise and shyness from the bottom of his heart, and all of a sudden won’t speak anymore.
Lu Lianguang opened a bottle of beer and handed it to Tang Tu, when he was about to open the second bottle, Tang Tu reached out and stopped it.
“Don’t open it…I…” He stammered and faltered with hidden thoughts, “I have a bad stomach, so I won’t drink cold beer.”
Lu Lianguang had personally bought him stomach medicine, so naturally he was not suspicious at all. The owner didn’t drink alcohol, so he shouldn’t drink it either, but it was all open, and it wasn’t a formal occasion, so he didn’t think too much about it. , While chatting with Tang Tu overlooking the night scene, he drank the bottle of beer.
It’s not easy to find someone who has the same vision and circles to chat with. I don’t know whether it’s because Lu Lianguang has coaxed him during dinner, or it’s more comfortable in his own house. Tang Tu is in a relaxed state today. The two of them couldn’t stop talking. In a blink of an eye, Lu Lianguang had already finished off the second bottle of beer, and the night was deep.
For most young people, this time is not too late, and maybe even the nightlife has just begun, but the gate of the university has access control time, and Lu Congguang must go.
Tang Tu said: “I’ll drive you back.”
Lu Lianguang subconsciously refused: “No, it’s so late, Dongling University is so far away from the city, if you run back and forth, it will be early in the morning when you get home.”
“It doesn’t matter, I also want to go out for a ride. It just so happened that I didn’t drink at night, so I can drive.” Tang Chu deliberately did not drink any alcohol. When the careful opportunity that had been hidden all night finally came to close the net, he cautiously suggested , for fear of being seen by Lu Lianguang, “You’ve drunk so much wine, it’s not safe to go back alone at night…”
It was the first time that Lu Lianguang heard someone describe two bottles of beer as “so much wine”, which was an insult to his drinking capacity, but…
He suddenly remembered that before he went out, Huo Miao had greeted him, saying that he would not be going back to the dormitory tonight… Lu Lianguang heard himself say, “That’s good.”
The car was parked at the entrance of Dongling University, and Lu Lianguang was telling Tang Tu about the magical takoyaki shop.
“It’s outside the north gate, opposite the parking lot. That road is a dead end, and no one usually goes there. The north gate was originally a side gate, and the business was so bleak. There was only one clerk in total, and his temper was not good. Well, it looks like I like to buy it or not.” Lu Lianguang shook his head and said, “I suspect that they have not closed down in the past four years, all relying on the turnover contributed by me and my roommate.”
Tang Tu couldn’t help laughing: “Do you patronize so often?”
“This store around the school is open 24 hours a day. My roommate and I…cough, we occasionally come out at night to get some fresh air.”
He said it too much. There is no access control in the Tibetan building, but there is a gate to the school. The only way to get out of the school at night is to climb over the wall. Huo Miao has always believed that “a crime that is not caught is not a crime”, and Lu Lianguang is not a law-abiding master. They spend half the nights over the wall and out of school foraging for food during the semester.
This kind of young and frivolous, thoughtful and childish things don’t need to be told to Tang Tu, Lu Lianguang calmly changed the subject: “Bamboo God, shall we go to the North Gate? I’ll treat you to takoyaki. ”
Tang Tu was more concerned about the access control time than he was, for fear that he would miss it, but when he thought about it, Kata Yu had told him about overturning the wall while chatting in the past… He thought that he would be able to enter the school after time. He was really eager to be with him. Kataha stayed for a while, then got off, restarted the car, and drove from the main gate to the north gate.
In the takoyaki shop late at night, there was only a small take-out window with lights on. Tang Tu parked the car, and the two walked over. There was a person standing at the window, who seemed to be checking out.
It was a young man in a neat suit. The not-so-bright lights in the store cast a large blur of shadows on his face, making his handsome face extremely deep.
Lu Lianguang’s face recognition ability is very strong, even if he hasn’t seen it for three years, this face has left a deep impression on him. He blurted out: “Dad…”
The young man in the suit turned his head to look at them both expressionlessly.
Normally, Lu Lianguang would ignore him and wouldn’t say hello when he met him, but now that he has already exited, Lu Lianguang didn’t panic at all, and changed his face without changing his face: “…Senior. What a coincidence. , you also come to buy takoyaki.”
Even in the Tibetan Xiu Building where geniuses were gathered, You Hongzhi was the most special one back then. He is the only person without a roommate, living alone in a double dormitory, has been alone for four years, and disdains to establish friendly relations with any classmates in the building, if he speaks, he can choke people to death.
Lu Lianguang didn’t like him very much. After saying this, he pulled Tang Tu and was about to step forward, but You Hongzhi didn’t buy it at all, and he couldn’t avoid saying: “When will I change my surname to Dad? already?”
Seeing that it was unsuccessful, Lu Lianguang readily sold his roommate: “My roommate is a player of “Yao Ling”. He calls your father in the dormitory every day. I just had a conditioned reflex.”
“Your roommate, call me dad every day in the dormitory.” You Hongzhi repeated playfully, “Your roommate… Huo Miao?”
Lu Lianguang recalled that Huo Miao had said last night that he wanted to invite You Hongzhi out to talk, and asked, “Have you met Huo Miao?”
It seems that I remember correctly, this is indeed Huo Miao’s roommate. You Hongzhi got a positive answer, and he was not interested in chatting any more. He replied perfunctorily, “That’s it”, as if there was something else to do, he walked away.
When passing by this junior fellow whose name he couldn’t remember, You Hongzhi’s eyes met Tang Tu’s for a moment.
In a short moment, it was too late to even imprint each other’s faces in my mind. They all looked away indifferently, just like the two most ordinary strangers who accidentally met their eyes, they parted at the touch of a button and did not have any intersection.
