033 – Why should my little friend s about himself at all

He seemed not to care that his faht his sister out of the country When they left, his sister had only been three years old She hadn't even been able to talk properly and had followed behind hie'¹

Their first year in C Country, He Xi had still cried and yelled for her brother But children forget quickly As tirew up and went to school, and her brother became like the doll she wouldn't put down as a child because she loved it so radually retreated fro, He Zhao didn't feel down In fact, he felt fine Thankfully, she had been young and could forget s in the blink of an eye

And embrace her new life

Xie Yu wasn't sure what to say, so he didn't say anything at all

”…I'll say it again It's really not that tragic This isn't so soap opera about amnesia, she just isn't close to a in, her equip man she's with—is different It's quite i special

Xie Yu couldn't tell whether to consider it high or low All in all, he could probably be considered a dras he hi

For example, this ed into a game and discovered that the level she couldn't pass had been passed and thehad run away

This was yet another instance of He Zhaoable to move the other party

Xie Yu said, ”You're impressed? Do you feel especially touched when you think about it?”

He Zhao squatted by the flowerbeds and laughed ”Don't say that Maybe a little bit”

Xie Yu had never been curious about other people's stories He only felt that He Zhao was a big idiot

Maybe other people didn't know, but Xie Yu knew everything He had seen He Zhao play this idiotic game with his own eyes; he played in class, he played after class, and soht, asking him which of two pairs of shoes to pick

Xie Yu should have thought: What damn business is this of mine? But he seemed to be possessed Xie Yu wasn't sure what he had been thinking either He suddenly bent down, and by the ti on He Zhao's head

Both of them were a little stunned

He Zhao's hair was short and it pricked Xie Yu's hand

Of the options 'push hio,' Xie Yu picked the latter ”I'ether” He Zhao ju a hand to the top of his head as he walked ”Was there so so quickly for?”

Xie Yu went back and took a shower He didn't even dry his hair He squatted by his bed and stuck an ar out the suitcase underneath

Inside were study materials Mock exams and the notes he took in class, a whole box full of them They usually lay quietly under his bed, under lock and key

He thought that he could do soage bag He stared at it for several seconds, touching the cover of the 5-3 Then he looked up and out theIn the dark night sky hung several faint stars For soht of He Zhao's sht, like it could tear apart the night

He Zhao looked like he led a carefree life

Xie Yu wondered where He Zhao found so o he had been so happy drinking soda that he got another bottle He'd passed the bottlecap from the back of the classroom to the front to show off to Liu Cunhao and the others ”Just touch it… touch it! A day's good luck starts fro a ive him face ”What is this? You think you're a koi?”²

”How can you say that, Qing-jie? You're fortunate Zhao-ge doesn't hit girls Hey, Zhao-ge, I'erated as he spoke ”Ah, I've touched it I feel its power Heavens, this e, I'ive me this lucky bottlecap to keep?”

”Can't” He Zhao stuck out his hand to take it back ”I' it for my deskmate”

But Xie Yu didn't cherish it When he walked into the classroom and saw the bottlecap, he said: ”If you want to toss out trash, do it yourself”

At this point, Xie Yu suddenly realized that recently he'd been hearing the words 'He Zhao' more and more

Even Zhou Dalei had found out he had a handsome devil for a deskmate When the two occasionally chatted on the phone, the conversation would suddenly come around to the handso was amiss and asked, ”You two are close? Boss Xie, I've known you for so many years and this is the first time I've seen you make a friend Why do I feel like a proud old dad?”
