Spontaneous Combustion

Chapter 30 I Have No Regrets

Juan Daximen's Jiuwang Spicy Hot Pot is considered a legendary shop.

Just like its name Jiuwang, many students come and go again and again, and the snack street outside the campus has undergone many plans and renovations, and only this one store has remained standing for many years.

The alumni of Juan University in other places were fortunate enough to meet each other, and they always mentioned Jiuwang, which witnessed the youthful taste that everyone felt together.

The waiter put the steaming casserole on the alcohol stove, pinched his earlobe to dissipate heat, and greeted warmly: "Your table is all set, please use it slowly."

Ye Chen swallowed, rubbed his hands and said, "One more beer, half cold, half room temperature."

"Okay!" The waiter quickly brought a piece of wine, and ordered as usual: "Old rules, you can return it if you can't finish it."

Ye Chen replied with a smile: "Okay, you can go to work, who doesn't know the rules."

Ruan Wei smelled the delicious smell of the bottom of the pot, saliva was automatically secreted, and he unceremoniously opened the chopsticks and rubbed off the burrs on them: "You guys drink, I will start first."

Ye Chen pried open the wine bottle, handed it to Shen Tingmo, and opened another bottle for himself: "Don't you want to drink?"

Shen Tingmo poured the wine into a plastic cup, frowned slightly, "He can't drink."

Ye Chen urged him to have a drink, smacked the froth from the corner of his mouth and said, "I've never seen you protect your calf like this before."

Shen Tingmo coughed lightly: "It's different now."

Ruan Wei was afraid that Shen Tingmo would say something surprising, so he gave him a blank look: "Eat without talking, without sleeping."

Shen Tingmo: "..."

He just wanted to say that before he didn't know that Ruan Wei couldn't drink, but now he knew, so he had to stop it.

Ruan Wei buried her head in cooking, turned around and thought about it, and felt that Shen Tingmo didn't seem like someone who would take the initiative to announce his relationship status to others.

What he said to Xu Peizhe just now was just a childish act of being jealous and busy swearing sovereignty.

Years of misunderstandings and misses have created two people who have their own minds.

Ye Chen took a bite of crab sticks with beer and began to nostalgia: "When Ting Mo left, we, Cured, broke up. When Xiao Wen graduated, she went to work in her major. I heard that she is now teaching in a middle school in the north. You said that she painted a smoky face that could scare a child to cry, and her mouth was smoky, wouldn't she mislead her children?"

Ruan Wei disagreed: "When I was in middle school, if I had such a cool teacher, I would never forget it for the rest of my life. Maybe my grades would be much better."

"Then it's really you." Ye Chen laughed so hard that he almost choked on a crab stick: "What about Pei Yunming, Ting Mo, you know him well, you should know."

Shen Tingmo shook his head: "I haven't had much contact since I left the country."

Ruan Wei was very surprised: "Don't you guys have a good relationship?"

Shen Tingmo frowned: "He and I are just roommates in the same dormitory, how can we tell that there are other feelings?"

Ruan Wei was amused by his serious look: "I once thought you two were having an affair."

The crease between Shen Tingmo's brows deepened: "Why do you have such a misunderstanding?"

Ruan Wei gave a "tss" and said nonchalantly, "I won't tell you."

Don't look at Ruan Wei's calm look now, but he almost lost his teeth because of this old vinegar back then, and the acid went into his heart.

Ruan Wei still remembers the specific plot clearly.

After Cured's on-campus performance, a certain freshman girl confessed to Shen Tingmo backstage.

Probably because the other party was a girl, Shen Tingmo was still polite, and just said lightly: "Sorry, it's not suitable."

The other party anxiously asked: "I haven't touched it yet, how can I say it's not suitable?"

Shen Tingmo didn't seem to want to continue entanglement, it was useless to talk more, and dropped a trump card: "I'm sorry, I already have someone I like."

Ruan Wei, who was eating boxed lunches behind the stereo, accidentally listened to the whole process. As if struck by lightning, the omelette on the chopsticks fell to the ground with a "snap".

After that, Ruan Wei desperately searched for clues, and found that besides himself, the only creature close to Shen Tingmo was Pei Yunming.

So this hat could only be put on Pei Yunming's head.

Master Ruan has really played with those vulgar and old-fashioned love rivals.

Deliberately showing a sense of presence when both of them were present, occupying Shen Tingmo's time openly and secretly, and pushing Pei Yunming out.

He even looked through Pei Yunming's social accounts eight times a day, trying to find evidence of their ambiguity.

Looking back now, it was really because he cared about it that made chaos, maybe Shen Tingmo just found an excuse to perfunctory it.

Ruan Wei was very annoyed by the stupid things she did back then, wishing she could go back and grab her collar and shout:

"Wake up, wouldn't it be nice for three people to join a table to fight the Landlord! Only you can think of such an outrageous love triangle."

What makes Ruan Wei still very unwilling is that he was not even qualified to question Shen Tingmo back then.

Ye Chen seemed to recall something, and sighed softly: "It's a pity, Xiao Pei has been alone with Cai Mu for so long, and he couldn't get together when he graduated. It can only be said that there is no fate."

"Cough cough..." Ruan Wei choked on a fish ball, coughed for a while and asked with red eyes: "What did you say, what do you mean by being single for so long?"

Ye Chen was very speechless: "It's unrequited love, you can't see it?"

Now it was Ruan Wei's turn to be embarrassed.

It turns out that Shen Tingmo is not the only one who is jealous, he himself also regards a straight man as an imaginary enemy.

His eyes flickered across Shen Tingmo's indifferent face, and he took a sip of ice water to suppress his shock:

"Ha, I really didn't see it, Cai Mu treats everyone like a younger brother, and Pei Yunming's awkward look, I thought he thought he was annoying."

Ye Chen raised his lips and smiled: "Some people are unrequited love like this. In elementary school, boys always liked to pull the pigtails of the girls they liked. Feelings come out of awkwardness."

"Then it's the boy's turn and the boy he likes?" Ruan Wei laughed.

Ye Chen raised his chopsticks and pinched them in the air a few times: "Of course it's a fight every day. After the pinch, I looked back and thought, that kid's waist is quite strong, let's continue to work tomorrow."

"You are a straight man, you understand quite well," Ruan Wei laughed, and secretly pinched Shen Tingmo's waist under the cover of the table.

Yes, hard, really exciting.

Shen Tingmo's body trembled, and he continued to bury his head in hard work, his ears turned red.

"By the way, do you have Cai Mu's contact information? This girl changed her number for some reason and couldn't be reached," Ye Chen asked.

Ruan Wei and Shen Tingmo shook their heads at the same time.

"Hey, let's go, we will meet again sooner or later, come on, let's drink now and drink now, let's toast to our lucky reunion."

Ye Chen served wine to Shen Ting Moman, and after clinking glasses, he drank in one gulp.

By the time Ruan Wei was full, the plastic beer box was already half empty.

Ye Chen snatched away the last soup-soaked prawn slip from the bottom of the pot, patted his stomach and said, "Shall we carry the rest of the wine to school to drink?"

Shen Tingmo said "Yes", and Ruan Wei also said, "I can do it."

Shen Tingmo called the waiter to pay the bill, Ye Chen counted out all the empty bottles, bent and lifted the wine frame to his shoulder, and walked out the door yelling.

Ruan Wei followed up with Shen Tingmo who had just finished paying, and tugged at the hem of his clothes: "Are you okay?"

You can drink so much after a meal, and Ruan Wei really admires this posture as he is ready to finish the whole wine.

Shen Tingmo looked back at him slowly, his eyes were a little straight, and he said slowly: "It's okay."

"Did you really not drink too much? Don't be brave, I'm afraid you will suddenly lie on the ground while walking, and I won't be able to lift you up."

"No," Shen Tingmo looked sideways at Ruan Wei, his eyes seemed to be melted by the heat and alcohol, and became very soft.

The two were arm to arm, very close to each other.

Ruan Wei's heart was pounding, and she followed him carefully to observe, and found that Shen Tingmo was walking quite steadily, and he really didn't look like he was in a state of drunkenness, so he was relieved.

It was already past midnight, and the main gate of the school could not be entered. It was inconvenient to pretend to be a late student with a case of wine on their shoulders. The guards were more savvy than the last.

"How about we go to Lover's Slope?" Ye Chen suggested.

Basically every university has a place called "Lover's Slope".

Most of them are grass, where you can sit on the ground, read a book and chat, relax in the sun, and it is a good choice, and it is also a good place for couples to fall in love.

Juanda's Lover's Slope is located on the bank of Juansie Lake in the back mountain of the West Campus. Behind it is a small mound. The terrain gradually increases from the lake to the hill, forming a shallow crescent shape around the Juansie Lake.

There are artificially planted and wild-formed turf on the open space, and the school has planted camphor and milanum and other vegetation around it.

Whether it's the morning dew, or the evening sunset, there is a special scene. The young couples who grew out of silk have more or less left memories here.

Fortunately, the west gate is not far from the back mountain, so Shen Tingmo left the car on the snack street, and Ye Chen and Ye Chen took turns carrying the wine box and walked there, bypassing a mound to reach the destination.

Across the sparkling light of Juanjie Lake, you can see the campus dormitory not far away. It has already passed the time to turn off the lights, and there are only dim street lights as embellishments.

Ye Chen sat down on a piece of dry grass and sighed:

"Our school is so beautiful. It's a pity that I haven't been able to lure a girl here for four years in college."

Shen Tingmo also sat down and threw him a bottle of wine: "Didn't we come here together?"

Ruan Wei hit him with an elbow: "Are you a girl?"

Ye Chen bit open the wine bottle with his molars, took a sip and said with a smile, "If only I were a girl, it would be worthwhile to come to Lover's Slope with Ting Mo."

The corners of Shen Tingmo's lips curled up, with an indistinct smile, and he shook his head as if mocking himself: "I'm not worth your sacrifice."

Ruan Wei felt that it was very novel, he rarely saw Shen Ting Moxiao, and this grand scene like a flowering stone made him a little dazed.

"Aren't you drunk?" Ruan Wei waved his fingers in front of Shen Tingmo's eyes.

Shen Tingmo still had that straight look in his eyes, he couldn't tell he was obviously drunk. He grabbed Ruan Wei's finger, pinched it lightly, and let it go quickly: "Not yet."

Ruan Wei withdrew her hand and touched the grass behind her. In the hot summer, the grass leaves had not had time to hang the night dew, so she simply lay down on the ground, with her head resting on her elbow, and sighed comfortably:

"The world is not worth it, and I will definitely not come in the next life."

At the time Shen Tingmo said, Ruan Wei was also there, so he was considered the chosen one who was lucky enough to come to Lover's Slope with Senior Shen.

At the end of April of that year, the prospective graduates of the senior year gathered here to take graduation photos, and Ruan Wei also mixed into the event site with the members of Cured.

Shen Tingmo was wearing a bachelor's uniform, standing in the crowded crowd, his tall and straight figure was particularly outstanding.

The last batch of late cherry blossoms is just in the flowering period, and the warm wind brings rustling petals, white and pink, which fall on Shen Tingmo's hat brim and hanging tassels, carrying the fragrance of the world of mortals, making him less so out of reach.

In the free group photo session, Ruan Wei snuggled into Cured's group photo, and stood at both ends of the frame with Shen Tingmo.

One stood up straight and handsome, with a calm face, and the other smiled like a flower, holding up the index finger and middle finger in a rustic V-shaped gesture, and the picture was frozen, engraving their meaningfulness at that moment.

"Hey, do you still have that group photo? You didn't take my share, it's too unkind." Ruan Wei poked Shen Tingmo's waist and asked suddenly.

Shen Tingmo took a sip of beer, turned his head to look at him slowly, narrowed his eyes slightly, put the bottle aside, and lay down on his side.

"I have kept it well."

The summer sky was high, and the evening stars were particularly conspicuous. Shen Tingmo lay down very close to Ruan Wei. When he spoke, he breathed the unique aroma of beer and wheat, and the warm air blew past Ruan Wei's ears.

"I have no regrets."

Shen Tingmo said something that Ruan Wei couldn't understand again, he got closer again, his eyes seemed to reflect the brilliance of stars, stared at Ruan Wei deeply, and said softly:

"The world is worth it to me." Because in the world, I met you.

Ruan Wei snorted softly, turned her head, and covered her cheeks with the soft grass leaves, and the blush disappeared in the emerald green grass waves.

The sky is on the ground, the sky is full of stars.

"Did you really not like Pei Yunming when you were in college?" Ruan Wei brought up the old story again, even though he already knew the answer.

The sourness and unwillingness have changed over time, and mentioning it again is just a kind of compensation for Ruan Wei to herself.

"Of course not," Shen Tingmo said firmly.

"Then why do you tell your junior that you have someone you like?"

It took Shen Tingmo a long time to realize why Ruan Wei asked such a question, he said frankly: "Yes."

"who is it?"

"He's a kid who's not very good at math, and would be lazy and interrupt when doing homework, but he's still very good most of the time."

"..."

"You're really drunk," Ruan Wei said disgustedly.

Is this a confession?Ruan Wei thought foolishly.

Surely it doesn't count, Shen Tingmo can't just be this cheap.
