The Dian Ji students all wore grey gym uniforms with a vertical blue streak on one sleeve Their uniforive them a wide berth to avoid any unnecessary trouble if they saw them

Shen Jie held on to his pocket the whole time He sat to one side and observed the restaurant as well as the people at the other tables

As He Zhao was flipping through the menu, solass and said, like he was picking a fight, ”Another carton of beer!”

Shen Jie dragged his line of sight back to his own table and saw that his Zhao-ge was also looking at the available drinks He Zhao's finger landed on the er landed just under He Zhao's, less than half an inch away ”I'll have this”

”Mineral water again,” He Zhao said ”Your life is really boring, isn't it?”

Shen Jie watched ide eyes as they decided on drinks and started to select dishes He felt as if he was invisible A second later, he said, ”Are… neither of you going to ask me? What I want to drink?”

”Order for yourself what food and drinks you want” He Zhao didn't even raise his head, and turned to Xie Yu after he finished speaking ”Will you eat this?”

The table next to the popped open occasionally reached their table There was even a girl a a very shorthoop earrings and a loud voice

”Sis-in-lahen is Ji-ge coive hi his beer bottle ”We've already almost finished two rounds If he still doesn't cos picked up her phone froht, I'll rush him”

Shen Jie wasn't very picky about food either, but the two people opposite hi to be too much He Zhao ordered a bowl of noodles and specifically mentioned not to add spices Shen Jie, unable to hold it in, interrupted ”Why not?”

He Zhao replied, ”My little friend won't eat them”

Shen Jie: ”……I' and I' list of foods Xie Yu wouldn't eat, anyway?

Xie Yu's appetite wasn't very good; he had been under the hot sun for a long tietables and half a bowl of noodles, then put down his chopsticks and went to the counter to pay

As he got up, someone entered the restaurant

Xie Yu saw the silhouette out of the corner of his eye and didn't payin his passcode ”A hundred and two?”

The lady boss punched numbers into her calculator, looked at the bill, then did the su too little Then she nodded and said, ”Aye, that's right”

”Ji-ge!” The people at the neighboring table had also finished eating and now they all stood up, applauding as they welcomed the newcomer ”You're late! Finish these seven bottles! They've been waiting for you for a long time and you have to drink they school uniforh he was tall, his looks were ordinary and one ht not be able to pick hi feature: a scar at his forehead, running froe” Shen Jie didn't dare look up and whispered ”The one from Dian Ji who stabbed someone?”

Shen Jie didn't look up, so he hadn't seen the strange expression on He Zhao's face and how he had been about to take some food but stilled his hand Then He Zhao put his chopsticks back on the table and didn't continue eating

Shen Jie was still : ”I think I heard Wan Da talk about hiures in Dian Ji He's quite fors, and when other people fight he squats on a trashcan lid to watch That's why he's called Ji-ge”¹

Before Shen Jie had finished speaking, he noticed that 'one of the top ten figures in Dian Ji' was now standing beside hilance doard through the space between his wrist and his elbohich was propped on the table He saw a pair of Nike tennis shoes ”……”

Shen Jie wondered if he had talked too loudly and been overheard, then started to think about the three of the skills, would they be able to win this fight?

While he was still coe say, ”He Zhao?”

When Xie Yu had finished paying his bill and returned to the table, this was the scene he saw:

The guy in the Dian Ji uniforotten a beer fro the mouth of the bottle to the side of the table He exerted force and the bottlecap popped off and fell to the floor

It rolled around twice on the ground, cleanly, then fell

The person handed the bottle to He Zhao, hisunclear ”Give me some face?”

He Zhao didn't take it With a smile he said, ”Old friend We haven't seen each other in three years, so no need to be so enthusiastic”

Neither had openly expressed ene in their words could only be discerned if one listened very closely But Xie Yu leaned against the wall and watched for a while He could tell that He Zhao's se,” so table asked ”What's the”Looking at the unifor at the table He Zhao had had his back toward the and hadn't paid attention Now that they looked 's 'fa's He Zhao?”

As he finished, he lowered his voice and added, ”…And the one over there, Xie Yu?”

Ji-ge didn't keep pressing He Zhao to drink He raised his head and drank it all himself Amidst applause and cheers he wiped his mouth with one hand, then raised the empty bottle and said, ”If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have remembered Three years Tie took two steps forward ”Since you remember it so well, do you remember what I said to you at that tiain Remember?”

The atuous, but noas clear that soht or nine people at the other two tables weren't content to just look on any ainst the floornoise

He Zhao placed one hand on the table; he still wore his 'Love and Peace' vest, but the words seemed rather sarcastic under these circuroup that sent es like, 'fuck your mom, I'll kill your whole faht'
