Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 24 There's Surveillance Here, Let's Go to the Alley
The sudden angry shout interrupted Brother Hao's hand reaching for N97.

Zhou Rui looked back, and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure running towards him.

Lu Xubo.

He had a fierce expression at this time, and several boys followed behind him.

Lu Xubo stood in front of Zhou Rui, tilted his head and looked at Brother Hao without fear: "Who are you messing with? Come to No. [-] Middle School to find trouble."

Brother Hao saw that Lu Xubo's gang was tall and aggressive, and he was a little scared.

It's okay for him to frighten good students, but he himself is just a bad boy, bullying and fear are written in his bones.

It also included several boys behind Lu Xubo, who surrounded Brother Hao and Guo Sheng.

Zhou Rui sighed, and took back the N97 in his hand with a pity.

It's a pity that it wasn't robbed.
Brother Hao was timid and stubborn: "I'm with Boge, don't be too arrogant, student?"

Lu Xubo glared at Guo Sheng, then patted Brother Hao on the face and said, "I don't care who the fuck you hang out with, don't come to No. [-] Middle School to find trouble, or I will beat you every time I see you, and get out of here!"

Brother Hao saw that there were many people on the opposite side, and everyone was taller than him, so he could only turn around and say harsh words: "If you are a bitch, don't leave after school!"

Lu Xubo said disdainfully, "It's time to leave school now, idiot!"

Zhou Rui felt a little sorry for not sending him in. He kicked him, and brother Hao fell to the ground, but he didn't dare to turn his head.

Guo Sheng also wanted to run away. Lu Xubo was someone he didn't dare to provoke in every sense. He was afraid of Zhou Rui's three points before because of Lu Xubo, which made him not weak.

Brother Hao was slapped in the face and talked, so he couldn't be slapped to death?
Unfortunately, Guo Sheng was held down by Lu Xubo's shoulder, preventing him from running away.

Not to mention how desperate Guo Sheng was, Lu Xubo immediately turned his head to look at Zhou Rui, and said in a deep voice, "Are you okay?"

Zhou Rui spread his hands and said helplessly, "It's nothing, it's just that you ruined a good thing."

Lu Xubo thought that Zhou Rui's "good thing" meant that he was going to fight back, but he didn't think much about it.

Zhou Rui pointed to Guo Sheng and said, "This guy can't usually see it, but I didn't expect him to be so sluggish. He actually asked people outside the school to block me for such a shitty thing. It really impressed me."

Guo Sheng was surrounded by several tall and strong boys at this time, his face was ashen, but he didn't know that Lu Xubo's appearance really saved him.

Zhou Rui saved him back then, but he hated Zhou Rui.

Now that Lu Xubo saved him, he might hate Lu Xubo so much in his heart.

Some people, since childhood, are villains.

Lu Xubo said: "How do you want to deal with it, give me a beating?"

Zhou Rui looked at the camera behind him and shook his head.

You have already been reborn, so don't use the methods of young people, so you don't care about the consequences.

"There is surveillance here, drag it to an alley to fight."

______________
Half an hour later, Zhou Rui sent Li Wenqian to the gate of her community.

Seeing Li Wenqian hesitate to speak, Zhou Rui "rua" her mushroom head and said, "Go back, leave the rest alone, I will take care of it."

Li Wenqian nodded, turned around and ran into the community.

Zhou Rui watched Li Wenqian enter the unit door before turning his head and walking back, and found Lu Xubo waiting in the alley.

The large group of people before had left, and Guo Sheng let them go after a lesson.

Lu Xubo was carrying his schoolbag across his shoulders, and his school uniform was a little loose. Looking at Zhou Rui, he felt a little strange.

In the first and second years of high school, the relationship between the two has always been good, and they can even be said to be best friends, and they often go absurd together.

But in the third year of high school, Zhou Rui chose to work hard, while Lu Xubo seemed to choose to remain the same, and gradually the relationship faded.

There is no such rigid break-up, nor any conflict and dissatisfaction.

Purely, just because they chose different paths, they were naturally separated on two different trajectories.

Zhou Rui glanced at Lu Xubo, although he interrupted his good show, but Lu Xubo did help him, he put his fist on Lu Xubo's shoulder, and said, "Thank you for today."

Lu Xubo seemed a little unaccustomed to this kind of thanks. Young people rarely say thank you in a serious way. He thought that Zhou Rui had changed a lot.
"Guo Sheng, I feel something is wrong these few days. He keeps staring at you during class. I didn't expect him to be so courageous. He asked someone outside to block you, and even wanted to grab your phone."

Zhou Rui didn't point it out, it is true that he was blocked after school, but he guided the grabbing of the mobile phone, although he was interrupted in the end.

Fortunately for Guo Sheng, he was beaten up.

Thinking of the situation at Lu Xubo's house, Zhou Rui said, "Have you eaten yet? Come on, I'll treat you to dinner."

Lu Xu fluctuated his mouth, but still followed.

Lu Xubo was born in a worker's family. There was only one alcoholic father in the family. When he returned home at this point, he might not have cold meals.

Zhou Rui didn't have much money either, so the two sat at the wonton stand in the alley, and Zhou Rui ordered two bowls of wonton.

Tired Office Workers, Greasy Ground
When the proprietress rubs her chopsticks on the meat filling, she can wrap ten small wontons.

There may be no delicious food in the alley, but there is never a lack of fireworks.

There was still a meal at my mother's place in the evening, so Zhou Rui didn't plan to eat more. He ordered Lu Xubo's big wontons, and he ordered a bowl of small ravioli that were almost all dough.

While cleaning the table, Zhou Rui casually chatted, "How is Uncle Lu?"

Zhou Rui also went to Lu Xubo's house when he was a freshman and a sophomore in high school. He was deeply impressed by Uncle Lu who was "slightly drunk" 24 hours a day.

Lu Xu fluctuated his mouth and said in a low voice: "Drinking and making trouble, detained for seven days, and still haven't come out."

Zhou Rui's hands froze.

Before rebirth, after the college entrance examination, he and Lu Xubo had no contact with each other again. The other party didn't seem to be admitted to university, nor did he have a junior college.

Later, when I heard someone mention it, it seemed that I had committed some crime and went in.

The wontons came out quickly, and when the boss brought them, Zhou Rui suddenly said, "The college entrance examination is 40 days away, what are your plans?"

Lu Xubo, who was adding vinegar to the wontons, paused, without raising his head, the vinegar continued to pour:
"I met a friend who set up a car wash shop on Jianguo Road, as well as auto repair, and agreed to help there after graduation and learn a craft."

Zhou Rui messed with Little Wonton: "A friend you know? A friend on the road?"

Lu Xubo hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, and then started eating.

It's a bit hot, but I still eat very fast.

In fact, there was no taste at all in the mouth, it was all bitter.

Zhou Rui looked at him, drinking wonton soup halfway.

Lu Xubo is not stupid, in fact he is very smart, he can even be said to be sober.

It's not that he doesn't know that if he misses the college entrance examination, his future will be very troublesome.

It's not that I don't know that going to so-called "friends" to help is not a good way out at all.

Due to family reasons, he is actually much more sober than the so-called bad boys around him.

But being sober does not mean that you have the ability to break free.

Zhou Rui knew clearly that it wasn't that Lu Xubo couldn't learn, but that he didn't have the environment.

When he was in the first and second grades of high school, he still studied occasionally, and even gave Zhou Rui some questions, but after entering the third year of high school, Lu Xubo completely gave up. Even during the quiz, Zhou Rui noticed that he had two classes in the afternoon. fell asleep.

Teachers will not care about such students.

Lu Xubo gave up his studies, and the teacher also gave up on Lu Xubo.

He will not bully the people in the class, and he never picks things up. Gradually, he is like a transparent person in the third and seventh classes of high school.

At the wonton stand, the two fell into silence.

For Lu Xubo's situation, one can only say that good luck tricks people, and the accumulated evils are hard to reverse.

Zhou Rui said:
"Maybe you can consider going to a big city for a try, such as real estate agencies, salesmen, etc. They don't really care about academic qualifications. I think it is at least more reliable than going to a 'friend' auto repair shop to help. Of course, if you can pass the exam Three or junior college, better."

Lu Xubo frowned, finished eating the wontons in two or three bites, wiped his mouth and said, "I'm leaving, bye."

Zhou Rui didn't say any more, and said with a smile, "Be careful on the road."
