The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and it was late at night at home. Lu Wei only wore loose shorts and a short-sleeved shirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the short-sleeved neckline was high and the shorts were close to the knees, Zhai Da still lost his mind for 0.1 seconds when she turned her head occasionally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the knockoff phone on the desk vibrated. When Zhai Da saw the two characters \"Wu Yue,\" he immediately flipped it face down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was best not to let Lu Wei know about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She might not be able to correctly judge Lu Benqing because of \"alexithymia,\" but Zhai Da knew very well that this person was already hopeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there was any, it shouldn't be Lu Wei or others who saved him, but Lu Benqing himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the time, it was already twelve o'clock. The busy Yu lady had returned to her room to sleep. Zhai Da said to Lu Wei: \"How about we stop here for today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wei looked up, a trace of confusion in her big eyes. The two often studied until after one o'clock, and the night had just begun for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she still said: \"Okay... then I’ll go back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da waited for Lu Wei to leave before flipping over his phone. Wu Yue only sent four characters: \"Net closing successful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bit unexpected, this speed was too fast. He thought Wu Yue would observe for a few days first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Lu Benqing was sent back as soon as he came out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da wanted to return a call to Wu Yue immediately, but then thought that the wall between him and Lu Wei was as thin as paper, so he took his phone and went out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go to the rooftop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The summer night was cool, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the lights in Dongyang at this time were very dim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no nightlife in the small county town. Of course, with the situation of the scattered province, there was no nightlife in the city either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone in later generations said that the scattered province could lead the country in economy without a first-tier city and without a capital, a large part of the reason was that the people in the scattered province slept early...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy was all saved for work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is your situation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Yue: \"Everything is normal. Guess where I am? Opposite the Changjing Road Police Station, the place where we first received the reward. The gambling den Lu Benqing went to is still within their jurisdiction. I saw the Uncle Hat who came and smiled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gambling dens are different from little red houses, the latter can be considered to have some tacit understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the former is purely a target for crackdown, and it is more hidden, all of which are solid merits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two in a row, and it didn't take much effort, so they were happy, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also didn't rule out that they saw Lu Benqing and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You weren't discovered, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That can't be, I’m familiar with the road. This gambling den is very small, just take them away. I’ll give you a share later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da: \"No need, give it all to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking another fee for pitting his father didn't burden Zhai Da, but this time Wu Yue helped him a lot, and from coming up with ideas to execution, and even taking risks, he did it all by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Yue was unwilling: \"That won't work. Your clue was provided well. I feel this is a long-term meal ticket. Those people in the little red houses were caught once, and their wives have to come to pick them up. I guess they will turn over a new leaf for a while, but these gambling sticks won't easily change.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wrote down the faces of several people. Dongyang County is not big, and I will send a justice package again if I meet them in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da thought this was a bit too cruel... so he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then help me keep an eye on Lu Benqing. It’s enough to come out and bask in the sun every half month.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll try my best to create a good learning environment for your friend before the Gaokao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the business was finished, Zhai Da suddenly felt that people leaving school and stepping into society is sometimes a matter of an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So much so that Zhai Da, whose energy was mostly in school and studying, felt like he was in two different worlds from Wu Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da exhaled: \"Are you really determined? Not studying?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Yue’s side came with the sound of drinking water: \"There are only a few dozen days left, what am I studying... Wait two days, my dad’s anger will subside, and he will go to school to talk to the teacher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da: \"You should know that my grades have improved rapidly recently. If you are willing to repeat a year, I guarantee you can get into a junior college, or even a university, next year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as [Old Man’s TV] is used properly, whether it is Fan Junwei or Wu Yue, he can pull them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he goes to university, leaving this piece of [Equipment] to a friend, he is not unable to accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several kilometers away, Wu Yue stood at the small shop opposite the Changjing Road Police Station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shop owner was watching TV, which was playing a special program on the 08 new regulations on the scattered province satellite TV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't understood it thoroughly from the beginning, even when he was still a student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Yue took a sip of the large bucket of iced black tea, looking at the TV blankly, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, I don't know when I stopped being able to study. I don't blame others. In the final analysis, I am playful, lazy, and undisciplined...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know, learning is something that can't be blamed on anyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But when I find a thing that can suppress my playful heart, can make me get up early and stay up late, be self-disciplined and enjoy it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it doesn't break the law and doesn't take crooked paths... I think this is a very precious thing. Maybe everyone’s opportunities are strange... If I meet the one that suits me, I want to grasp it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the rooftop, Zhai Da was silent for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soul of an adult made him instinctively want to persuade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the empathy of a young man made him happy for Wu Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So thousands of words turned into one instruction: \"Remember, safety first, abide by the law. I can't help you do things, but I can help you move your brain. If you don't understand, you can discuss it with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Yue smiled happily, because his brother could understand him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also because his not-so-firm heart finally found a small fulcrum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, I am a hunter and will never become prey.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When saying this, the shop owner stole a glance at Wu Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This little brat... is he stupid from watching cartoons? He’s reciting lines here...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cartoons will really ruin the younger generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Zhai Da felt the rooftop door behind him open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning his head, Lu Wei opened the door and came to the rooftop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After showering, she was no longer a ponytail, but a long hair, blowing like a shawl in the evening breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The loose short-sleeved shirt and shorts also swayed, even revealing a trace of a flat belly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da hung up the phone and asked: \"What’s wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wei’s calm little face carefully looked at Zhai Da.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long time, she squeezed out a sentence: \"Teacher Yu loves you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have already taken the exam very well... I will also work harder...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da couldn't help it anymore, poked Lu Wei’s smooth forehead with two fingers: \"What are you thinking!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s like I’m going to jump off a building because I got 132 in math!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wei was pushed and swayed by his fingers; she was too thin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn't give up, but stepped forward, grabbed Zhai Da’s hand, and lowered her head without saying a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed... she was really afraid that Zhai Da would play wingsuit flying, even if it was a one-in-ten-thousand possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the seemingly calm expression, the inner anxiety was unknown to anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da sighed, helped Lu Wei pull her clothes, drove away the cold wind running around in the collar, and don't take away the girl’s body temperature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tone was soft and calm, \"How could I be so crazy, and there is no reason at all...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wei lowered her head: \"I can't tell... so I’m afraid...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn't tell which sentence was a joke, couldn't tell which sentence was sincere, and couldn't tell whether Zhai Da would always be in depression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also couldn't tell what kind of emotion she was, but she knew.. she didn't want anything to happen...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da patted Lu Wei’s thin arm: \"If you can't tell, trust me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wei bit her lip and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the girl’s soft hands were cold, Zhai Da didn't hesitate anymore, pulling Lu Wei and walking downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night breeze no longer roared, the lights were distant and dim, and there was only the sound of two people’s slippers in the stairwell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And two very long, but blended shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still decided to tell you, your dad is out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And then went in again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not curious about what happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I trust you..\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This kind of thing also includes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything includes...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then look at the legs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wei stood still and rolled up her loose trouser legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m joking... really white..
