At 11:30 p.m., Chen Zhaojun, who rarely stayed up late, was still in front of the TV, and the constantly changing color pictures made the wall colorful.
"Dad."
Perhaps receiving the silent signal from Lao Chen, Chen Hansheng also came to the living room and sat down on the sofa.
"You didn't sleep so late."
Chen Zhaojun glanced at his son, and his mind still kept the naughty image of Chen Hansheng when he was a child. In the blink of an eye, he was already an 18-year-old boy, and there was even a girl feeding him candied haws.
"Dad, I want to say that in the afternoon..."
Chen Hansheng planned to make it public with Chen Zhaojun, because he had nothing with Xiao Rongyu, and there was nothing between them.
Unexpectedly, Chen Zhaojun waved his hand generously: "No need to explain, I'm not as feudal as your mother. As long as the girl has good character, we can get along with her."
"No, Dad, Xiao Rongyu and I really..."
Chen Hansheng must explain clearly.
"Hey, the name Xiao Rongyu sounds familiar."
Chen Zhaojun interrupted again, frowning and thinking carefully about the source.
"The daughter of Captain Xiao of the Public Security Bureau's Criminal Investigation."
Chen Hansheng could only explain Xiao Rongyu's identity first.
"So she is Xiao Hongwei's daughter."
Chen Zhaojun suddenly realized, and then smiled and said: "Your uncle Xiao was the most handsome man in the Hong Kong City Public Security System when he was young. No wonder the girl is so beautiful, not bad!"
"Dad, Xiao Rongyu and I are just normal classmates, not what you think."
Chen Hansheng finally found an opportunity to explain this fact.
Unexpectedly, Chen Zhaojun actually smiled: "Why are young people nowadays more timid than we were back then? What era is it that still uses the relationship of classmates as a cover? Do you really think I don't watch TV dramas normally?"
Looking at Old Chen who was immersed in his own imagination and couldn't extricate himself, Chen Hansheng suddenly didn't want to explain. Anyway, everything will come out in the end.
"Dad, before you knew the identity of that girl, were you still a little worried?"
Chen Hansheng changed the subject and asked.
"How is that possible?"
Old Chen denied it flatly: "I was watching TV the whole time, how could I be worried."
"Oh."
Chen Hansheng nodded, and watched TV with him for a while. When he was about to go back to the bedroom to rest, he patted Old Chen on the back: "Can you change the channel on the TV with the air conditioner remote control?"
Chen Zhaojun looked carefully and found that he was holding the air conditioner switch. No wonder the TV didn't change at all after pressing it until now.
"I'm going to sleep first. Don't worry about it all day long, old man. If you are bored, just quarrel with my mother."
Chen Hansheng waved his hand and said.
Old Chen said he was not worried, but he was still guessing the identity of the girl in his heart. He was relieved until he knew that it was Xiao Hongwei's daughter.
Chen Zhaojun shook his head and muttered, "Smelly boy," looking at his son's back.
······
The seven-day National Day holiday was a bit long. After visiting his grandparents, Chen Hansheng couldn't find anything to do.
In the middle, he received a call from Xiao Rongyu, who invited Chen Hansheng to chat in the ice cream shop with several other high school classmates, but Chen Hansheng found a reason to refuse.
First, Chen Hansheng didn't have many topics in common with them, and second, he didn't want to be misunderstood as having something with Xiao Rongyu.
"Zi Bo, let's play billiards tonight?"
Chen Hansheng called Wang Zibo.
Wang Zibo agreed immediately. If Chen Hansheng didn't take him out to hang out, he could only stay at home with his mother to review "My Fair Princess".
Chen Hansheng was very familiar with the Internet cafes, discotheques, and KTVs in Hong Kong. He took Wang Zibo to an entertainment venue with a billiard room on the second floor and a discotheque on the first floor.
While drinking beer and playing billiards, feeling the "booming" vibration downstairs, Wang Zibo's dark face was full of excitement.
"Xiao Chen, I didn't expect there was such a fun place in Hong Kong."
Wang Zibo shouted loudly, trying to drown out the deafening music.
Chen Hansheng chewed gum, smiled and said nothing, just aiming at the number ball on the table.
Wang Zibo was obviously not up to standard today. He kept peeking at the girls coming up from the first floor. They were wearing fishnet stockings with exposed belly buttons and heavy makeup. When they passed by, they could smell the mixture of perfume and alcohol.
Chen Hansheng didn't urge him, and waited patiently for Wang Zibo to turn his eyes back.
Wang Zibo was still a little embarrassed: "It's October, isn't it cold?"
"What do you know? This is called beauty freezing people." Chen Hansheng replied with a smile.
Several girls felt brightened when they saw Chen Hansheng. The smile on this young man's face was both bad and naughty. It should be very interesting to get along with him.
However, Chen Hansheng was not very interested. Sometimes when he was bored, he would pat the girls' waists around him and say, "The black guy across the street is still a virgin. Go and tease him."
Wang Zibo was originally looking at Chen Hansheng flirting with these sexy girls with envy, but when it was his turn, he blushed and didn't know how to respond.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, Chen Hansheng and Wang Zibo left the entertainment venue, and Wang Zibo didn't want to leave.
While lighting a cigarette, Chen Hansheng warned, "Girls who often go to nightclubs, no matter how beautiful they are, it doesn't matter if you touch them occasionally, don't take it too seriously..."
"What else?"
Wang Zibo was halfway through listening when he found that Chen Hansheng suddenly stopped talking. He looked over and saw Xiao Rongyu and two female classmates quietly looking at this side of the road not far away.
They should have just come out of the ice cream shop and were about to go home. Xiao Rongyu was still holding a cold drink in her hand.
Wang Zibo immediately turned around and pretended not to know him. Chen Hansheng couldn't be so stupid and tried to cover up his mistake. He thought it was too embarrassing. He didn't expect to run into him by chance.
"Good evening, is the party over so soon? Xiao Rongyu, your home doesn't seem to be in this direction."
Chen Hansheng tried his best to make his tone and speed normal. He kept hinting in his heart that he had nothing to do with Xiao Rongyu, so it was normal and reasonable to go to the bar.
I don't know why, but I always have an indelible sense of guilt.
"Didn't you say you were going to grandma's house tonight?"
Xiao Rongyu spoke, but her voice was colder than the autumn wind.
Chen Hansheng didn't know how to answer. He didn't want to attend the party in the evening, so he used this reason to prevaricate Xiao Rongyu. Now his lie was exposed in front of him.
At this time, Xiao Rongyu's fair face was covered with an emotion called "sadness".
"Chen Hansheng, when we were chatting just now, Xiao Yuer said that she could try to accept you..."
A female classmate couldn't stand it, and was interrupted by Xiao Rongyu coldly after just two words.
"No more!"
She put the drink in her hand on the ground, sniffed and said, "Let's go."
The back figure turned resolutely, the autumn wind blew, and Xiao Rongyu's soft hair was like a lingering love under the street light.
From a distance, the voice of the female classmate could still be heard:
"Chen Hansheng, you are not a person. Today, the ice drink shop just released a delicious fruit drink. Xiao Yuer bought it specially and prepared to send it to your house, but you hid it from her and came to these places to fool around!"
"Go to hell, scumbag!"
······
Chen Hansheng suddenly realized that Xiao Rongyu took this road to send him a drink.
"Xiao Chen, it seems that you really caught up with Xiao Rongyu."
Wang Zibo looked uneasy: "Then, it seems that I lost it again."
