When Meng Yufan returned to the dormitory, he happened to meet Xu Dong who was about to go out.

Both were taken aback, and the air pressure dropped instantly.

Since Coach Wu announced Xu Dong's punishment in public, Xu Dong has become a lone ranger. In previous sessions, there were also players who were found secretly playing wild ball, but this was the first time Coach Wu gave such a severe punishment. Everyone didn't know how to get along with him.

Xu Dong and Meng Yufan were once best friends, but now one of them has become the main scoring force in the CUBA arena, and the other is unable to enter the regular arena... The gap is like a ditch, and it’s always there. , Some people can pass by one step, but some people will fall down there.

Seeing Meng Yufan, Xu Dong didn't speak, lowered his head and locked the door, turned around and planned to leave.

Meng Yufan suddenly stopped him: "Dongzi!"

"..." Xu Dong didn't stop, but his shoulders were obviously stiff.

Meng Yufan hurried to catch up, and said in a low voice: "Your grandpa's matter...I heard."

This time, Xu Dong stopped, turned around and frowned at him.

"Where did you know?"

"I went to Xiaoxiao's house today." Meng Yufan said cautiously, afraid of irritating his sadness. "When I was eating, I heard Xiaoxiao's parents say. People in their unit seem to know. ."

Xu Dong said in a very exaggerated tone: "Oh yes, why did I forget, you are now my'uncle'. I really can't hide things from you in my family."

"Xu Dong!" Meng Yufan saw his yin and yang look, and did not suppress the fire, "Can you be more normal?! I care about you, not laugh at you! We are even the most ordinary classmates, I know Your grandfather is sick, can’t you care about you? And I’ve never been sorry for you from start to finish, how many times did you want me to tell, I didn’t inform Coach Wu, I’m absolutely impossible to betray my friends!”

"..." Xu Dong did not speak, with a complicated expression on his face. He was impulsive to punch Meng Yufan that day, because at that time he believed that he had only talked to Meng Yufan about this matter, and Coach Wu could know that he was absolutely inseparable from Meng Yufan.

But now that he calmed down, he gradually realized that maybe this matter really had nothing to do with Meng Yufan.

And the key contradiction between him and Meng Yufan is nothing more than "jealous".

Yes...it is so ridiculous. He is jealous of his best friend in five years, jealous of his family background, jealous of his generous life, jealous of him as a young master, and doesn't understand his choice at all.

Meng Yufan asked: "Dongzi...Did you go to play wild because you want to raise money for your grandpa?"

Xu Dong nodded lightly and lightly.

It is not a small amount of money to treat cancer, and his grandfather is already in the middle and late stages. He is old, and he has obvious rejection after using the domestic drugs that are covered by medical insurance. He can only buy tens of thousands of dollars for one. Imported medicines. Their whole family is the most ordinary working class. Xu Dong has a close relationship with his grandfather. Of course, he hopes to do his part.

But playing wild ball can not only make money quickly, but also find a way out for himself, so he stepped into this pit without hesitation.

No one can understand his pain after he has been punished and not selected for CUBA. But when he went to play wild ball, he... didn't regret it, this is the best choice he can make at the moment.

The only thing he regrets is that he shouldn't have brought Meng Yufan in.

What kind of mental quagmire did he fall into at that time? Is he going to make his good friends as cheap and dirty as himself?

Xu Dong remained silent, and Meng Yufan didn't know what he was thinking.

Meng Yufan whispered: "Dongzi, I know a very good doctor at home, a well-known cancer expert. I will post his contact information to your mobile phone in a moment."

"..." Xu Dong's heart was filled with countless words, but in the end he couldn't say that I'm sorry. He could only say briefly and solemnly: "...thank you."

Meng Yufan asked him again: "Now you have given all the money you earned to your grandfather, is your life okay?"

"Fortunately, I also had some savings before. I have a meal card for meals. The team will pay money every month. It is enough to save a little."

"That's good." Meng Yufan said embarrassedly, "I can't help much financially for the time being. You also know my recent situation..."

Xu Dong seldom smiled: "It was a great help if you could introduce me a famous doctor. Speaking of which, you should be more financially stressed than me? You have a girlfriend, and you can’t let her buy things when you go out to eat, watch movies, and go shopping. Money, that's not a fool."

"..."

"What's wrong?"

Meng Yufan thought, every time I went out with Sister Xiaoxiao, it seemed, it seemed, probably, maybe, maybe... Sister Xiaoxiao was paying for it?

Although he is Yang Xiao's "rental boyfriend" in name, Xu Dong is right. This is obviously a little boyfriend! ! !

————————

This Monday is Tang Shuge's birthday.

In the past, on her birthday, she would try her best to adjust her time off, make up a week of vacation, and go abroad to have fun. She has always been a moonlight clan, and apart from the regular storage of rent, she spends as much as she earns every month.

It is a pity that due to work changes this year, she really has no money in her pocket, so she can honestly ask for a day off and travel on the sofa at home.

Yang Xiao was very loyal, and accompanied her to take a day off, saying that he would celebrate with her.

Tang Shuge naturally raised his hands and feet to welcome: "Laughing is the best! We can go to have a big meal, go to a movie, go shopping in the afternoon, take pictures, drink milk tea..."

There are a series of restaurants lying in her favorites. She chooses from left to right, and finally decides to go to the family's 500-per-capita buffet!

The most famous thing about that restaurant is that there is a wall made of lobsters at the entrance. Numerous Internet celebrities took pictures of the lobster wall. Tang Shuge was so envious that he had planned to go there to eat.

Yang Xiao teased: "I saw you so generous for the first time."

"Hey..." Tang Shuge said embarrassedly, "In fact, in that restaurant, on the birthday of the birthday star, three people travel together and the birthday star is free."

Yang Xiao: "..."

After all, I'm still picking it up.

Yang Xiao asked, "We only have two people, where is the third one?"

"Call your little wolf dog!" Tang Shuge said frankly, "He looks like he can eat at a glance, eat a buffet, there are such talented players, and the money is also worth it!"

Yang Xiao was speechless, but she couldn't stand her girlfriend's acting like a baby, so she could only call Meng Yufan and ask him if he was free at noon on Monday.

It just so happened that Meng Yufan just finished a group match on the weekend. His results were good. The coach gave the team a day off and nothing happened on Monday.

When he heard that Yang Xiao had asked him to meet, he immediately wagged his tail and agreed.

So at noon that day, Meng Yufan picked up his sports bag and waited vigorously downstairs in the apartment of Yang Xiao and Tang Shuge.

Moreover, after he learned that today was Tang Shuge’s birthday, he thoughtfully prepared a gift for Tang Shuge-a signed poster of her idol! !

Tang Shuge covered his face and screamed, "How come you have signed posters of my relatives, my husband, my perfect brother, and my baby boy?!!!"

Meng Yufan said: "He doesn't like basketball very much. When he went to watch the CBA finals this year, my classmate happened to be a volunteer at the scene, so he got a signed poster of him."

Fortunately, that classmate didn't chase stars, so Meng Yufan bought him a meal and got this poster in hand.

Tang Shuge was holding the poster and jumping again and again, she decided that this poster was her heirloom! When she dies, this piece of paper will be cremated with her! !

Yang Xiao saw her appearance and laughed at her: "Happy?"

"Of course happy!" Tang Shuge stood on tiptoe, straightened his arm, and patted Meng Yufan's shoulder. I'm all excited! My sister can't take your gift for nothing, so be it, if you take orders in the future, I will apply to the top to increase your share!"

"What?" Yang Xiao interrupted, "It turns out that I rented my boyfriend's money on the app, not all of my boyfriend's money." She thought it was a labor rental platform similar to Didi Dache, but she didn't expect the platform to be more. Rake.

"It used to not be drawn." Tang Shuge said, "but the company's initial angel round of money has been burned out, and the A round of investment has not been in place. Long sister-our boss-has decided to make a draw two weeks ago. NS."

"Sister Long? So your company boss is a woman."

"Of course it's a female! Do you think any male bosses who engage in the Internet understand what female users really need? If it weren't for our Long Jie Yingming Shenwu, who discovered the blue ocean of'Cloud Sharing Boyfriend', you would never have the opportunity to interact with Meng Yu. Fan meeting!" She waved her hand, "Well, don't mention work. I asked for leave today for crazy fun, and if I mention work, I will lose my appetite!"

Yang Xiao knocked her head: "You still don't have an appetite? For this meal, you haven't eaten anything since last night!"

"Of course you have to be hungry before eating the buffet!" Tang Shuge said plausibly, "Why, like you, a traitor, you still had breakfast this morning? Please, we are going to eat a buffet of 500 per capita today, but the prawns are not big enough. Or the sea urchin is not fresh enough, why don't you keep it there to eat if you have a stomach?"

Yang Xiao originally wanted to refute, but saw Meng Yufan also looking at her with a shocked, injured, and betrayed expression, as if he had seen something incomprehensible.

"..." Yang Xiao was speechless, "Yufan, you won't be for this buffet, and you haven't eaten again since last night?"

"No." Meng Yufan said in a loud voice, "I haven't eaten anymore since noon yesterday!!"

"..."

Tang Shuge found his ally, was extremely excited, and shouted, "Our goal is—"

Meng Yufan also raised his fist, and then said: "——Eat the restaurant!"

Tang Shuge: "Our strategy is—"

Meng Yufan: "——Eat expensive first!"

Tang Shuge: "Our slogan is—"

Meng Yufan: "--Don't eat white, don't eat!"

Yang Xiao: "..."

Yang Xiao: "..."

Yang Xiao: "………………"

Yang Xiao: "I think you two have a tacit understanding and a common language. Otherwise, I quit and you two get married and live a life?"

The three joked for a while, and then went to the parking lot to pick up the car.

Among the three of them, Tang Shuge did not have a driver's license, and Meng Yufan had a driver's license but hardly crossed the road. Only Yang Xiao was an old driver with first-rate driving skills, so she became their full-time driver, and she had to come every time she went out. drive.

Meng Yufan was very discerning and took the initiative to give up the front row to his girlfriends so that they could chat with each other.

Then Tang Shuge said he didn't sit in the passenger seat, and shook his head again and again as if he had seen some scourge.

"No, no, I'll take the back." Tang Shugla opened the back seat, slid and climbed up.

Yang Xiao was very strange: "Aren't you motion sick? Every time you say you want to sit in the front row."

Tang Shuge looked at Meng Yufan, leaned on the driver’s seat, folded his hands into small horns, and gathered in Yang Xiao’s ear and said, “When I see the passenger seat, I think of you two... "

"——Stop!!!" Yang Xiao also wanted to save face. She flushed her face and covered her girlfriend's mouth. "Sit back, stop talking, and save some energy to eat!"

Meng Yufan didn't know what they were muttering, so they got into the passenger seat stupidly, their two long legs were neatly joined together, and they patted their thighs like a schoolboy.

But he was already so behaved, so Yang Xiaoqian glared angrily.

Meng Yufan: "???"

The dog is wronged, but the dog does not say.

Soon, the car turned out of the community and ran towards the cafeteria.

The cafeteria is in the best location in the city center. On Monday noon was the time when it was the most congested. They stopped and went for an hour and had not moved a few kilometers.

Tang Shuge was hungry all night, his patience disappeared with the traffic jam. She clutched her groaning belly and fell dying in the back row, talking nonsense in her mouth.

"I want to eat steamed lamb, steamed deer tail, roasted chicken and cured duck..."

Yang Xiao has known her for so many years, and it is the first time she knows that she has a talent for talking about cross talk. It seems that hunger and poverty are really the primary productive forces.

She is hungry, Meng Yufan is even hungry. The boy was hungry for 24 hours. He didn't fall down because of his super physical fitness, but he was also apathetic and looked pitiful and tight.

Yang Xiao was distressed and funny. Fortunately, she still had the candies prepared in advance in her car. She took advantage of the red light and peeled a piece of it with her hands and stuffed it to Meng Yufan's mouth.

"Eat some sweet cushions to keep your stomach from low blood sugar for a while."

The boy opened his mouth obediently, and he hooked the candy on Yang Xiao's fingertips with a click of his tongue. His movements are very light, really like a big golden retriever who is gentle and sensible. Whenever he takes the jerky from his master, he only dares to use the tip of his teeth carefully for fear of hurting her.

The boy didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. After taking away the candy, he gently pressed Yang Xiao's fingertips with his lips.

The warm lips held the girl's finger, and he murmured, "It's so sweet..."

I don't know whether it is icing or fingertips with icing.

Yang Xiao seemed to be scalded, and violently withdrew his hand. She hurriedly glanced at the rearview mirror—fortunately, Tang Shuge was lying in the back row pretending to be dead, and didn't even notice their little movements.

When the green light was on, Yang Xiao ignored the beating heart and hurriedly drove the car to move on.

Fortunately, the traffic jam is only a short distance away. By the time I passed this intersection, the road ahead was unimpeded.

Victory was in sight, Tang Shuge immediately became energetic. She got up from the back seat and lay on the side of the bed, looking at the scenery passing by the window.

Not far away... Not far away... The cafeteria with an average of 500 people is just ahead! !

When she gets there, she will take a photo with the lobster wall first, and then take two lobsters, one baked with cheese, one baked with garlic...

At this moment, a rush of bells interrupted her fantasies.

She picked up the phone impatiently and found that the name of her colleague was displayed on the phone screen.

"Damn!" Tang Shuge was almost annoying, and said to his mobile phone, "Don't you all say that I will be on vacation today? Why can't you let me have a happy birthday?"

However, complaints belong to complaints. As a social animal, I absolutely dare not fail to answer the phone at work.

She can only sigh deeply, do countless mental constructions, and press the ON button with the feeling of going to a grave.

"Hey?"

As soon as the call was connected, the voice of the female colleague over the radio wave hit highC. "Tang Shuge!!! Something big happened!!!"

Tang Shuge didn't use the handsfree at all, but the terrifying volume was still enough for Meng Yufan and Yang Xiao in the front row to hear clearly.

The three looked at each other, and Tang Shuge hurriedly asked, "What's the matter? Is the PPT that I did before the vacation has a problem?"

"When are you still thinking about work?" The female colleague said with tears, "You, you hurry up and come to the company now! All of us are here!!"

"What the **** is it?" Tang Shuge looked at the scenery speeding back outside the window, "I'm going to eat."

"——Our company has closed down!!! The boss took the gold medal rental boyfriend and ran away with the money!!!"

Tang Shuge didn't hold his mobile phone, and fell on his leg with a snap.
