Berry Muffins

Chapter 22 Game Hall

22

Lu Yuqing was very tall. When Tao Lan hid behind him and walked in, the people in the room didn't see the little tail hidden behind him at first.

When there are too many people, Tao Lan gets nervous easily, because Lu Yuqing told him that he just got together for a meal and he didn't wear a hearing aid.He walked in with his head down all the way, and he didn't pay attention to the way other people looked at him.

Tao Lan sat beside Lu Yuqing.Lu Yuqing deliberately sat on the right side of Tao Lan.

"Hey, it's you~" A slightly familiar voice sounded in his ear, and Tao Lan looked up in confusion.

The boy sitting near his left looked familiar, as if he had seen it before, but Tao Lan couldn't quite remember it.

"Didn't I say hello to you when I sent Lu Yuqing back last time?" The boy touched his chin strangely, with a puzzled look on his face, "I shouldn't look so popular."

It was only then that Tao Lan remembered that he was the boy who brought back the drunk Lu Yuqing that day.

"Hello...my name is Tao Lan." Tao Lan greeted in a low voice.

The boy also smiled and reported his name: "Cui Xiangwen."

"Lao Lu actually took you home." Cui Xiangwen adjusted his glasses, and a smile came into his eyes, "Not bad, kid."

Tao Lan: "?"

Although he was talking to Cui Xiangwen, he could still feel the eyes of other people at the dinner table looking at him, curious and probing...

Tao Lan doesn't care about other people's eyes, but cares more about her hungry flat stomach.

Everyone seemed to be waiting for someone, so they only served some cold dishes, but no one touched their chopsticks, and Tao Lan was embarrassed to eat first.

Tao Lan bit her lip, poked Lu Yuqing's arm slightly, leaned over and asked, "Is there anyone here?"

"Yeah." Lu Yuqing also approached him, because considering Tao Lan's hearing problem in his right ear, he spoke in a low voice, "Xiaoran's brother hasn't arrived yet."

Tao Lan blinked his eyes when he heard this, as if he was a little surprised.

"He and I were in the same school from elementary school to high school, but he went abroad later." Lu Yuqing thought for a while and added, "We will contact occasionally. But this old classmate reunion must also call him. "

While the two were talking, the door of the box was pushed open again by the waiter, and a boy dressed in black walked in. He was wearing a black mask and a black baseball cap, and his face could not be seen clearly.

At the table they were sitting on, only the seat on Tao Lan's left, that is, the seat on Cui Xiangwen's right was still vacant.

The boy walked over here without even looking at the other table, and took off his mask and hat after he sat down. It turned out that there was a strange red patch near the corner of his mouth, which looked like he was allergic.

Although he is very handsome, his allergies still affect his appearance.

"Qi Ling." Lu Yuqing called his name as a greeting, but seeing the strangeness on his lips, she couldn't help asking, "Are you allergic?"

Qi Ling's voice was a little lazy, deep, and seemed a little careless.He glanced at Lu Yuqing, and said slowly, "Yes, I was allergic to a steamed bun filled with seafood yesterday."

Lu Yuqing was speechless, resisting the urge to roll his eyes at him, secretly complaining that this is really dark food.

Tao Lan also laughed after hearing the words, her beautiful almond eyes were slightly bent into a nice arc.

At this moment, Qi Ling noticed Tao Lan who was sitting next to him. When he saw his face, he was in a daze for a moment, but he looked at Tao Lan for a while and then looked away. He didn't say anything from the beginning to the end.

-------------------------------------

The hot dishes started to be served after all the people were gathered, and Tao Lan's already hungry flat stomach began to growl.The others at the table naturally started to drink beer. Tao Lan glanced at the table with some embarrassment, and found that none of them ordered any drinks...

After Lu Yuqing noticed it, he immediately ordered two bottles of iced lactic acid bacteria drinks.

After Tao Lan poured himself a glass, he poured another for Lu Yuqing.

"Brother Lu, you don't drink very well, so you should drink something like me."

Lu Yuqing felt inexplicably despised, and pinched Tao Lan's cheeks restrainedly: "I have a sense of proportion, okay?"

"Pfft." Hearing their conversation, Qi Ling almost spit out the beer he just drank, he suppressed the smile on his face and looked at Lu Yuqing, and laughed in a low voice, "Why is it that you can't drink enough? Got it?"

Lu Yuqing naturally refused to be outdone and turned back: "It's not that bad, it's average at most,"

"Well, the kind that goes crazy after drinking too much."

Lu Yuqing: "..."

·

When the two of them were fighting each other, Tao Lan had already wiped out several strings of mutton skewers.No wonder they like to come to this store for dinner, the barbecue taste in this store is really good.

These old classmates started chatting about the world in the middle of the meal, but Lu Yuqing didn't participate in the conversation very much, and ate a lot with Tao Lan.

After the dinner, some people proposed to continue singing to get excited.Lu Yuqing and Qi Ling both declined the proposal.

The two of them plus Tao Lan finally parted ways with the main force.

·

Qi Ling drove over by himself, but Lu Yuqing was not polite to him, and sat in the back row with Tao Lan.

Qi Ling looked at the rear row through the rearview mirror, and suddenly said as if in response to a signal: "Still the same place?"

"Yeah." Lu Yuqing agreed without thinking, "I haven't been there for a long time, and I don't know if it's closed down."

Tao Lan looked at the two of them with a puzzled face, his head full of question marks, and he seemed a little dazed.

Lu Yuqing pretended to be mysterious and didn't explain it to him, he just knew the place.

Qi Ling drove the car into an old urban area, found a somewhat dilapidated underground parking lot and parked the car, and the three of them entered the shopping mall from the elevator.

This should be one of the oldest shopping malls in F, and the architectural style is full of sense of age.The place they were going to was on the third floor, and the elevator went up quickly.

As for their destination, it was actually a game hall.

The scale is not too big, and there seems to be everything from old to new game consoles. Unlike the simple appearance, there are quite a few people playing inside, of course, mainly students.

·

Tao Lan has never played this kind of game hall, and he is unfamiliar with the various games in it.Lu Yuqing went to the front desk to exchange a large amount of game coins with him, and Tao Lan seemed a little at a loss holding the small basket full of game coins.

After Lu Yuqing took him to play two audio games, Qi Ling dragged him to play racing. Tao Lan followed them greedily at first, but later found that the two of them had a tacit understanding in the competition and started a race. People play various games.

Although he can only shoot in single digits, whack-a-mole almost missed most of the hamsters, and the taiko master obviously chose a simple song but still couldn't get a good score... But Tao Lan played well Excited.

Later, Lu Yuqing also came to take him to play racing games and shooting games. Although Tao Lancai was beyond ordinary, Lu Yuqing didn't mean to dislike him.

Tao Lan didn't feel tired until he finished playing a box full of game coins, and only when he looked at the time did he realize that several hours had passed.

·

The three of them went downstairs after they had finished playing, and found an internet celebrity milk tea shop, ordered three cups of milk tea and sat in the shop chatting and drinking.

Obviously these two people are not talkative people, but they chatted without saying a word, but Tao Lan obediently drank milk tea while listening absent-mindedly.

"I didn't expect you to change so much." Qi Ling suddenly looked at Lu Yuqing and said meaningfully.

Lu Yuqing didn't answer him with an indifferent smile: "Not many."

Tao Lan also looked curiously at Qi Ling, then at Lu Yuqing, and finally couldn't control his curiosity and asked, "Isn't Brother Lu like this before?"

Qi Ling glanced at him unexpectedly, as if he didn't expect that this shy young man would take the initiative to talk to him because of Lu Yuqing.

He thought for a while, and answered vaguely: "Well, he used to be a strong, chubby boy with a second-year illness."

"Ah?" Tao Lan slowly opened his eyes, as if he couldn't imagine that Lu Yuqing would change from a gentle appearance to a stinky boy who ignored no one.

Lu Yuqing also interrupted Qi Ling's slander against him, and rubbed Tao Lan's hair: "Don't listen to his nonsense."

"I'm telling the truth, okay? You used to be a cold-faced, friendless, and talkative guy." Qi Ling suddenly laughed, and his neat and white teeth shook Tao Lan's eyes, "But everyone A lot has changed, and so have I.”

Tao Lan pursed his lips thoughtfully and stopped talking.

-------------------------------------

In the end, it was Qi Ling who drove the two of them back, and it was also by the way. The Qi family and the Lu family lived in the same community, so it was also by the way.In this way, there is no need to bother the driver to drive the car out again.

Before getting out of the car, Tao Lan clearly heard Qi Ling complaining about Lu Yuqing.

"Why haven't you taken your driver's license test yet?"

Tao Lan glanced at Lu Yuqing, who was not blushing and heartbeating, in surprise. He always thought that the latter only traveled low-carbon because S City was in a different place and there was no need to buy a car...

Lu Yuqing looked indifferent: "Let's talk about it after graduation. There's no rush to get a driver's license."

It perfectly took over my own late stage of lazy cancer.

Qi Ling parked his car at the entrance of Lu's house first, and naturally he wanted to go in to say hello when he was here, after all, Qi and Lu's two families are family friends, and they also have a lot of contacts in family business.

Apparently, the allergic area at the corner of Qi Ling's mouth caused Lu Mowei to laugh mercilessly. She even took out her favorite ointment and rewarded him with a merciless complaint.

"The face can only grow like this, what if it becomes disfigured again, I can't get married and mess with it."
