Chapter 419: A small gathering before Mid-Autumn Festival
The next evening.
A Sichuan and Chongqing chicken hotpot.
Three boys sat around a dining table.
On the dining table, the induction cooker hummed, causing the food in the black casserole to boil continuously.
A white smoke carrying a strong aroma drifted around.
Lu You accurately picked out the chicken leg from the numerous chickens and put it into Deng Rui's bowl diagonally opposite.
"This piece of meat is to celebrate the end of your military training and the official start of your college life next week."
"Thank you."
Deng Rui didn't bother to be polite with Lu You and ate the chicken in one bite.
The chicken is tender and juicy, and has absorbed the flavor of all the ingredients.
Li Yu, who was standing next to Deng Rui, frowned and said in dissatisfaction, "You only give it to Deng Rui, but not to me. You're treating me differently, right?"
"Oh? You're jealous. Are you a woman?"
Although he was saying these sarcastic words, Lu You's hands did not stop and he picked up a piece of chicken wing tip and gave it to Li Yu.
"Are you satisfied now?"
"The tips of chicken wings are better than the meat on the drumsticks. Don't be too partial."
"You only deserve the tip of a chicken wing!"
Lu You poured himself a glass of lemonade and asked, "How do you feel about the military training in college? Is it different from high school?"
Deng Rui took the soup spoon, scooped a spoonful of soup from the pot and poured it on the rice, and replied: "There is no difference, the content is the same, marching, square formation, military boxing, dagger exercises, baton techniques, but there is more practice time, and the fighting looks better."
Li Yu bit the tip of the chicken wing with difficulty and took over the conversation, "Just think of it as a perfect and upgraded version of high school military training. The food and accommodation conditions have been comprehensively improved, and the overall quality of the instructors has also been raised to a higher level."
Lu You picked up the teacup and took a sip, then placed an order for 1,000 milliliters of sour plum soup the next second.
To describe something that is given away for free as "drinkable" is an overestimation of it.
"Have you ever been punished by the instructor? For example, by doing frog jumps, squats, push-ups, etc.?"
Deng Rui took a few bites of rice and replied, "Of course there are, but very few, only in the first few days, to show their power. And the fines are not too many, basically only a dozen or twenty, and everyone can complete them."
Li Yu lowered his head, spit out a few chicken bones into the porcelain plate, and said, “My instructor said that they dare not punish you top students at all. If you do something wrong, the school leaders will make a fuss.
But the instructor also said that top students are generally obedient and have strong discipline, so they rarely run into troublemakers. If there are problems, they can be corrected by speaking up, and corporal punishment is not necessary."
Lu You took out a piece of fried gluten soaked in soup from the bottom of the pot, put it in the bowl to cool, and asked, "Did you eat big melon during the two weeks of military training?"
Deng Rui put down his chopsticks and thought about it carefully.
Apart from training, I eat and sleep every day. I go between the dormitory, the cafeteria and the stadium without fail.
"I don't know much about the news outside the dormitory."
Lu You turned his gaze towards Li Yu and asked, "What about you?"
Li Yu chewed the food in his mouth for a few times, swallowed it hard, and said, "I really ate a big melon."
Lu You looked very interested and raised his hand to signal, "Please start your storytelling."
"It is said that a few days after the military training began, a girl from a certain college started dating her company's instructor."
"That's it?"
Lu You suddenly felt bored and said, "The school rules only say that teachers and students can't talk, and instructors and students are not included in this list. It's just rare, so what's the big deal?"
"I haven't finished yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
Li Yu glanced at Lu You, picked up a piece of enoki mushroom with chopsticks, and then said: "Originally, it's nothing for you and I to have a relationship, but the key is that the woman has a dog who licks her lips."
Lu You's eyes lit up and he said, "The story suddenly becomes interesting!"
"Moreover, this licker is not an ordinary licker. I heard that he licked from the second year of junior high school all the way to college, from a street urchin to a freshman at BIT. He can be said to be the ceiling of the licker world."
"What the hell? Tender beef!"
Deng Rui, who was listening, couldn't help but interjected: "I feel that this move was worth it. Although I didn't get the person, my fate has changed, which is another kind of success."
"Did Ceiling come to the school to find that woman?" Lu You asked.
Li Yu nodded, sucked the enoki mushroom into his mouth like noodles, and said vaguely: "Come on, why didn't you come? You wait for that woman to come out at the second school gate every day."
"What's the point of waiting at the school gate? Why don't you go in and look for him?" Lu You asked puzzledly.
"This involves our school's access control system."
Li Yu took out a tissue and wiped his nose, explaining: "The access control system of our school can recognize the student cards of our school and your school, but not the other ones."
"What a double-standard access control system!" Lu You applauded, "Did the licker finally get his goddess?"
"I don't know. I haven't heard the story here."
Seeing that there was not much food left in the pot, Deng Rui poured a plate of neon tofu into the pot and asked, "Now that the military training is over and the instructors have all returned to the army, won't they have to have a long-distance relationship?"
Li Yu stirred the pot a few times with a slotted spoon and said, "It seems like they were separated last night."
"Fuck? Less than two weeks, too fast!" Deng Rui was stunned. "Am I out of date? Has dating become a fast-food trend in today's world?"
Lu You raised his right hand and said solemnly: "Let me clarify that this matter depends on the person. At least Tang Wan and I have been dating for nearly three years, and our life is still very sweet. We can't wait to get married tomorrow, and we have no intention of breaking up at all."
"I can see that." They said in unison.
"There's one thing I don't quite understand." Deng Rui put his chopsticks aside, a thoughtful look on his face. "Even if BIT is not as good as our school, it is still one of the best in the country. At this level, there are still people willing to be bootlickers?"
At this time, the waiter brought a pot of sour plum soup, gently placed it on the table, left a light "please enjoy", and left silently.
Li Yu picked up the sour plum soup in one hand and poured a cup for each of the three people present. Then he said, "The question you raised was answered by a famous senior named Ke in a live broadcast."
Deng Rui hesitated for a moment and guessed, "Are you talking about Ke Jie?"
"Yes."
Li Yu drank the sour plum soup in the cup in one gulp. The sweet and sour taste diluted the greasy feeling left in his mouth.
"He said in the live broadcast that being a bootlicker has nothing to do with academic qualifications. And don't just say that BIT has bootlickers. We have quite a few in our school. One woman has ten bootlickers. The arrangement is clear."
"I've learned a lot!"
The stone pot with neon tofu added began to boil again, making a gurgling sound.
Lu You immediately grabbed the colander and scooped two pieces into his bowl.
"Oh, by the way, I remember Ke Jie is from the same college as you, right?"
"Yes, the dean also talked about it at the opening meeting." Li Yu replied.
"Have you ever met him?"
"They have to play in the game, they can't see each other at all!"
"What a pity! I really want to know if Ke Jie in real life is as abstract as he appears on the Internet."
……
Boys always eat very fast.
As the three chatted and laughed, the whole pot of chicken and a few additional side dishes were finished in less than an hour, leaving only a few slices of ginger and chili seeds floating in the soup.
Lu You leaned back in his chair and burped, saying, "I'm a little full."
Li Yu touched his swollen belly with his right hand and said, "Me too. I don't know why, but I can eat spicy food when I'm in the north, although it's only slightly spicy."
Deng Rui wiped off the oil stains on his fingertips with the included wet tissue and said, "It's probably the climate. It's hot and humid in the south, and eating spicy food can easily cause inflammation."
"It's very likely." Li Yu agreed.
Suddenly, Lu You remembered something.
"Almost forgot!"
Lu You took the backpack from the seat next to him into his arms, unzipped it, took out an exquisitely packaged handbag, and pushed it in front of Deng Rui.
"Old Deng, a gift for you."
"What's coming from?"
Deng Rui took the gift bag, looked it over, and said, "Mooncakes! This is a brand I've never seen before."
Li Yu frowned again and said in surprise, "I don't have a share? You really treat me differently, don't you?"
"You are the eldest son of the Li family, and you need my mooncake?" Lu You said with a smile.
"Whether I need mooncakes or not is my business, whether I send them or not is your business. If you don't send me mooncakes, it means you have a bad attitude, which means you don't have me in your heart!"
"Numb!"
Lu You slapped his forehead with his right hand and said speechlessly: "There is a mooncake stall downstairs. I will buy it for you when I go downstairs later. Is that okay?"
"No need! You have to ask me to buy it, it's like I'm forcing you, you have no sincerity at all!"
"Md, Tang Wan isn't even half as pretentious as you!"
Deng Rui carefully put the gift bag into his schoolbag, fearing that any corners would be creased.
This was the first time he received mooncakes from friends, and to be honest, he felt very complicated.
40% happy, 40% unexpected, and 20% hard to describe in words.
Hiding his extra emotions, Deng Rui smiled and said, "Thank you for the mooncakes, great god, but let me make it clear first, I can't afford a return gift."
Lu You waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. In previous years, my family always had a lot of mooncakes left over. Just think of it as helping me to clear the stock."
"Well, that's the speech of a rich man indeed."
Lu You glanced at the two of them and asked, "Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival, what are your plans?"
Li Yu was the first to respond: "My parents and Xu Nian's parents are already on the plane to the capital. They said that the two families will celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together."
"Damn! Such fast progress!"
Li Yu grinned, not hiding her happiness, and said, "It's mainly thanks to my mother. Whenever she has time, she asks Xu Nian's mother to do square dance and beauty treatments. The two of them are almost like sisters."
Deng Rui held his chin with one hand, a hint of envy appearing in his eyes.
Sometimes, he couldn't help fantasizing about what it would be like if he had a girlfriend.
However, it will only remain a fantasy and will not be put into action.
Lu You didn't notice Deng Rui's strangeness, and asked, "Old Deng, what are your plans?"
Deng Rui put his hand down and said, "I guess I'll just play games with my roommates. I don't have any special plans."
"Is it so miserable? How about you come to my house and I'll take you to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Deng Rui raised his lips and said, "Is it a real invitation or just a false courtesy? If it's a real invitation, I will accept it!"
"Haha, of course it's just fake politeness!"
Lu You's eyes lingered on the phone for a moment, then he stood up, put on his schoolbag, and said, "It's getting late, I have to go back. If I delay any longer, Tang Wan will call to urge me."
"Okay, go ahead. Old Deng and I will sit for a while."
"Let's meet again when we have time, bye!"
"Bye!" x2
……
Lu You hurried downstairs, went to a nearby fruit store and bought two boxes of imported cherries. Then he got in the car and rushed home.
One minute before eight o'clock, Lu You opened the door.
"My beloved, my beloved!"
Lu You shouted twice while changing his shoes, but no one responded.
"The living room light is on, which means someone is home. Is he taking a shower?"
Lu You changed his shoes and went straight to the bedroom.
As he passed the living room he paused.
Tang Wan was seen lying on her side on the toffee chair, her cell phone dropped beside her, her eyes closed, her breathing steady.
The pink yoga suit fits tightly against the skin, not only showing every ups and downs and every inch of muscle curve to the fullest, but also adding a touch of seductive astringency.
Lu You narrowed his eyes, threw his schoolbag away, strode up to Tang Wan, squatted down and whispered her name and nickname.
After shouting for more than ten times, Tang Wan finally opened her eyes hazily.
"Hubby, you're back~"
Lu You stroked her cheek and said softly, "Sorry, I'm back late."
Tang Wan supported herself with her arms and sat up, stretching out her hands towards Lu You.
"Hug~"
"You're eighteen years old, and you're still acting like a spoiled brat?"
Having said that, Lu You still bent down obediently and let Tang Wan do what she wanted.
Tang Wan treated Lu You as a tree and entangled him with her hands and feet like a koala.
Lu You held Tang Wan's bottom with one hand and put the other hand around her waist to prevent her from falling.
Tang Wan leaned close to Lu You's ear and said in a sweet voice, "Hubby, can we take a bath together?"
Lu You understood instantly, "You want it?"
"Hmm~Give it to me~"
"Then go back to the room."
Lu You held Tang Wan in his arms and walked steadily towards the bedroom.
Before leaving the living room, I turned off the lights.
