Chapter 109
Another beautiful spring afternoon.
Los Angeles Railway Station, a place to witness parting and reunion.
A dark-skinned, sturdy boy walked out of the train station with a large bag on his back.
He took a breath of fresh air and looked at the world with envy.
"Big city!"
His name is Shi Lei, Zhang Xiaobai's childhood friend.
Ever since Zhang Xiaobai left his hometown and came to Los Angeles, he hadn't contacted Shi Lei. He doesn't mind about this, getting along with friends doesn't happen overnight, but for a lifetime.
He believes that no matter what day they meet, when they meet, they will still be the same as before, smoking a cigarette, drinking wine and bragging.
This time he came to Los Angeles for business, about the girl in his heart.
Shi Lei came to Los Angeles University by bus. When he saw the big sign at the entrance and the students laughing and laughing, his eyes became more envious.
Shi Lei carried his big bag and walked into Los Angeles University.
I just know that Xiaobai is studying at Luo University and that his major is marketing, but he doesn't know which class he is in, let alone which dormitory he is in.
A person has a mouth, in addition to eating, but also talking.
Meeting a handsome boy, Shi Lei smiled and asked, "Student, do you know Zhang Xiaobai, who majored in marketing? Freshman!"
The man looked up at Shi Lei a few times, and said bluntly, "I don't know him!"
Shi Lei scratched his head, thinking that he was polite enough, and even added a smile on his face.
The man hurried past, still muttering, "Why is there another muddy leg? Don't you think Luo Da is not messy enough?"
Shi Lei didn't know, there are very few people in Los Angeles University who don't know Zhang Xiaobai.
A girl came over with a smile, "Don't talk to him, he's jealous too much, today is the weekend, Zhang Xiaobai should be in the dormitory, I'll take you there!"
Shi Lei blurted out, "Thank you, big sister!"
In my hometown, can't I thank my eldest sister? Surely you can't say thank you, little sister?
The girl froze for a moment, then laughed heartily. She didn't mind the title, she just thought it was fun.
"Are you and Zhang Xiaobai fellow villagers?"
Shi Lei walked side by side with the girl, and said with a smile: "Yeah! We are from the same village! Big sister and Xiao Bai are classmates, right?"
The girl smiled helplessly. It was fun to listen to it once, but it was a bit harsh after listening to it twice. "It's not a classmate. I know him, but he doesn't know me."
The girl brought Shi Lei to the boy's building, pointed to the top, "Dormitory 301, go up by yourself!"
Shi Lei was about to say thank you big sister.
The girl covered her ears and ran away.
Shi Lei was a little baffled, looked up at the boy's dormitory, and trotted up.
It's finally time to meet, bro!
Walking to the door of bedroom 301, Shi Lei pushed the door and wanted to enter, but suddenly thought of something, and knocked on the door with the corner of his mouth raised.
He thought again that if Zhang Xiaobai asked who it was, he would say it was your uncle.
However, he didn't get what he wanted, and he just called out the word "Jin", and it wasn't Xiaobai's voice.
Shi Lei wanted to see how I would deal with you later.
After pushing the door and entering, Shi Lei was completely dumbfounded. The three of them were playing poker around a table, and there were notes on their faces. Even if the stickers were almost full, he could be sure that there was no Zhang Xiaobai here.
The three of them ignored him at all, and were still very engaged in playing.
With a frustrated face, Shi Lei asked weakly, "Excuse me, is Zhang Xiaobai there?"
Cheng Feng, who had one foot on the stool and the other on the ground, was in a mess, and said impatiently, "Not here!"
Ji Xiaorou finally turned her head, blew on the note in front of her, saw Shi Lei through the cracks in the paper, stood up immediately, "You are..."
Shi Lei said: "I am Zhang Xiaobai's younger brother!"
Cheng Feng also noticed Shi Lei at this time, said shit, quickly removed the note on his face, and immediately greeted him with an enthusiastic expression.
"Hello, hello, hello, don't mind, I thought it was another parent."
Shi Lei was a little confused, could it be that he looks so old?
The two brothers also hurried over and began to introduce themselves.
Finally, Ji Xiaorou said: "The boss is going to be a tutor, and he won't be back until evening, so wait here first!"
Shi Lei let out an oh, a little disappointed.
I used to think about the picture of meeting again, but I didn't expect it to be like this, so imagination is always beautiful.
Cheng Feng asked: "Have you eaten? Brother!"
Shi Lei hurriedly said: "I ate something on the train!"
Cheng Feng frowned and said, "Can I eat well on the train? Wait!"
Before Shi Lei could say anything, Cheng Feng put on his coat and ran out.
Ji Xiaorou began to treat guests warmly, and when he got along with strangers, he could always find some topics to keep the scene from being cold. This is the ability of the little brother, so it's a pity not to engage in diplomacy.
Tian Ye still had nothing to say, but took out a box of Su Yan and handed it over.
Shi Lei looked at the cigarette case on the table, the little panda Yuxi and so on, all of them were high-end cigarettes. While smoking Su Yan, he couldn't help touching the Hongta Mountain in his pocket.
This time I specially brought him two Hongta Mountains, but I don't know if he still smokes?
Thinking of this, Shi Lei felt a little sad.
He won't change, will he?
Without much effort, Cheng Feng broke in with bags of various sizes. This time it wasn't peanuts and ham sausage, but went to a restaurant to cook a few dishes, bought a few bottles of good wine, and set up a table full of them.
Cheng Feng said: "Brother! The food is a little simpler, don't mind, I will prepare a meal for you in the evening! Come on, the three of us will accompany you to drink!"
Shi Lei scratched his head, looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table, thought this is simple?
Tian Ye patted him on the shoulder and said, "Zhang Xiaobai is our boss, and his brother is our brother. You're welcome!"
Then Ji Xiaorou pressed Shi Lei on the stool.
Sometimes wine is really a good thing, it can instantly shorten the distance between two people, after a glass of wine, Shi Lei completely let go.
"I, Shi Lei, dare to pat my chest and promise that in my hometown, Xiao Bai's best buddy is me!"
Cheng Feng raised his thumb, "The three of us can guarantee that the boss's best friend at Luo University is the three of us!"
The four of them laughed.
Shi Lei took a big sip of wine, and suddenly sighed, "You don't know, Xiaobai's life is really hard! His family is an outsider. I think when his grandparents brought their daughter to our Wolong Village, they took root here. Xiaobai Bai's mother is handsome and arrogant, and she doesn't like the people in the village at all, so she left suddenly one day."
"After a few years, I came back with a big belly. A girl who hadn't left the court was pregnant. She became a joke in that small mountain village. Those people from him said too many ugly things, and then their family moved to the middle of the mountain. gone."
"When his mother gave birth to him, he died of dystocia. When he was a child, his grandfather gave him no more medicine. Just last year, his only relative, his grandmother, also died of illness. Even that family was wiped out by rich people. !"
Shi Lei took another sip of his wine, "I didn't say this because I drank too much, I just wanted to tell you that Xiaobai's life is hard but he is a good person. He is my best brother. If anyone bullies him, how dare I risk my life?" !"
The faces of the three brothers showed unbearable pain. They once thought that the eldest brother's family situation was not good, but they didn't expect it to be so bad.
After a long time, Tian Ye raised the glass, "It's done, this glass of wine, toast to the boss!"
