Chapter 16 The Price of Growth

Ye Zhiqiu was dressed in black, holding an umbrella and moving forward in the rain.

At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the rain even spread over the surface of Ye Zhiqiu's black leather boots.

Fortunately, Qingxin Garden is opposite Shanghua School, and you can see it as soon as you leave the school.

Qingxin Garden is a large-scale entertainment and dining place integrating catering, entertainment, coffee and tea. Because the decoration is light and elegant and the price is moderate, it is very popular with the students in the surrounding schools. Du Xingcheng chose to have a banquet in Qingxin Garden, which seemed generous and moderate.

Entering the Qingxin Garden, before Ye Zhiqiu could find someone, he saw a person in the opposite aisle.

"Ye Zhiqiu, you're here. Everyone is here. You're the only one left. Come with me..."

There are many people in Shanghua School who know Ye Zhiqiu, and there are also many people who have really seen Ye Zhiqiu, so Ye Zhiqiu is not surprised by this.

"Lotus Pavilion." Ye Zhiqiu was stunned, and the name made him feel awkward.

Entering the Lotus Pavilion, I saw smoke and wine inside, which made Ye Zhiqiu more uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

The two round tables in the house were occupied by more than a dozen people.

With Ye Zhiqiu's entry, he saw a long-haired shawl standing up at the inner table, with a yin and handsome man.

"Ye Zhiqiu, you're finally here. Come here and sit down."

"This is Du Xingcheng." Ye Zhiqiu said secretly.

"The senior invites you, but Zhiqiu dares not to come." Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, but when he glanced at several people on the table, his face changed. He actually saw Xiao Pingting here.

"How could she be here!" Ye Zhiqiu guessed in his heart and had a lot of thoughts in an instant.

"Come on, let me introduce you. You have seen Liu Feiling, so I won't say more. As for them, they are all my friends and buddies of Du Xingcheng. They are talented and ambitious..."

"In a word, after everyone becomes friends, they will be able to support and take care of each other in the future..."

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "This should be done. In the future, you still need to take more care of Zhiqiu..."

On the surface, this set of Ye Zhiqiu can naturally have fun, but whether he should make friends with these people, but his heart is as bright as a mirror. At this time, thinking of the name of the Lotus Pavilion, Ye Zhiqiu also understood why there was such a big contrast in his heart just now.

Du Xingcheng pointed to Xiao Pingting, who was pale, and said, "I won't introduce you to Sister Xiao. You are more familiar than me. This time, Sister Xiao can promise to be the heroine of my story, which really makes me happy. Come on, sit down and eat first. Let's talk while eating."

Ye Zhiqiu sat next to Du Xingcheng with a smile, just on the same side with Xiao Pingting. If she didn't deliberately go to see it, no one could see anyone.

"This Du Xingcheng is really a human being. He not only tells lies with his eyes open, but also his expression has not changed much." Ye Zhiqiu was full of admiration and wanted to see so many people. Although it was rumored that this guy was not very good, at least on the surface, it was watertight, not like the mentality of a student.

At this time, Du Xingcheng said to the person next to him, and then the man went out. After a while, a dish came up one after another, which was obviously ready for a long time.

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Zhiqiu's surname is urgent. If the senior has anything to do, just tell me directly, otherwise I will feel anxious."

Liu Feiling frowned and glanced at Ye Zhiqiu. He secretly believed that your surname was urgent, and he was obviously lying with his eyes open.

Although Ye Zhiqiu felt Liu Feiling's dissatisfaction, he did not know what Liu Feiling thought in his heart. If he knew that Liu Feiling would lie to him with his eyes open, he didn't know what he would think in his heart.

Liu Feiling knew that it was because Ye Zhiqiu's indifference made her feel that Ye Zhiqiu was not the urgent surname he said, but this did not mean that Du Xingcheng also knew it.

After listening to Ye Zhiqiu's words, Du Xingcheng glanced at Xiao Pingting beside him from the corners of his eyes, and suddenly felt very proud.

"I'm shooting a campus love story, and I just need a classic campus song. It happens that Zhiqiu's creative talent is also very outstanding in Shanghua, so I thought of you and prepared to invite you to Zhiqiu..."

Ye Zhiqiu was amused. If he could get a song by saying a few good words casually, he would also be willing to do such a thing. What's more, Ye Zhiqiu is now impatient because of Xiao Pingting's unexpected existence. In addition, he has long been prejudiced against Du Xingcheng in his heart. At this moment, he can't wait for this moment. After shaking his hand and leaving, he will also agree to Du Xingcheng's invitation.

Feeling his immaturity, Ye Zhiqiu took a breath and replied, "What talent do I have? I just accidentally raised a little inspiration and wrote a few songs. If you really want to create deliberately, you can't do it at all at my loose level, not to mention..."

"Ye, don't be shameless. Aren't you a freshman? What's there to do?" A voice next to him interrupted Ye Zhiqiu's words. At the same time, the Lotus Pavilion suddenly quieted down, and the needle could be heard for a while.

Du Xingcheng frowned and shouted, "Liu Wen, what are you doing? Did you talk like this? Didn't Zhiqiu refuse?"

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said nothing. He came to see what Du Xingcheng could sing.

The next moment, Du Xingcheng suddenly laughed and said, "I have to admire Zhiqiu's creative talent. Xiao just told me that you have created five songs and are now shooting music works. This is not something that ordinary people can do."

Although Ye Zhiqiu's face did not move, the irritability in his heart suddenly rose violently and looked at Xiao Pingting with a smile.

Xiao Pingting looked at Ye Zhiqiu with trembling lips, and her eyes were red. Although her face was full of grievances, she never opened her mouth, and she didn't know how to explain to Ye Zhiqiu.

Ye Zhiqiu looked deeply at Xiao Pingting, as if he saw the depths of Xiao Pingting's soul.

In this way, Ye Zhiqiu looked at Xiao Pingting extremely carefully and said, "If you don't study hard and don't take your Yangguan Avenue, why do you want to take the single-plank bridge? Do you know that if you take this road, it means that it will soon be abandoned."

After saying that, he ignored Xiao Pingting. He turned to look at Du Xingcheng and said, "Shui, I'm very sorry. My songs are only given to the people I agree with and the people I like. In addition, I will never give goodbye to anyone."

Du Xingcheng's face for a while** looked gloomily at Ye Zhiqiu's back and said, "Brother Ye should think about it. Shanghua College is not as simple as you think. Even if you have a relaxed journey now, you will still enter the society in the future."

Ye Zhiqiu's hand when he opened the door suddenly stopped, turned his head and stared at Du Xingcheng tightly. His plain and gentle spleen instantly became hard and violent, and said coldly, "You can show your means to have a look."

The next moment, with a bang, Ye Zhiqiu left.

Du Xingcheng gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

At this time, a figure beside her flashed quickly, and then the door was opened again. Xiao Pingting chased out like the wind, leaving no words.

"Ye Zhiqiu, Xiao Pingting, you..." Du Xingcheng was extremely angry.

Outside the Qingxin Garden, in a dead corner, Ye Zhiqiu held an umbrella and seemed to be waiting for something.

With a rapid sound of footsteps, a figure pushed open the glass door and rushed out quickly. It was just because the rain was too heavy and the stone platform was too slippery, so that the runners suddenly fell to the ground because they couldn't stop their feet.

With a bang, Xiao Pingting fell to the ground, half of her body was soaked, and looked at the road ahead with pain. When she saw that there was no Ye Zhiqiu on the road, Xiao Pingting's tears flowed down. Tears were mixed with rain, and Xiao Pingting was also drenched by the heavy rain, just like a drowned chicken.

Ye Zhiqiu felt pain in his heart. When Xiao Pingting fell down, the depression and irritability in his heart also disappeared in an instant. However, when he was ready to come forward to help Xiao Pingting, Ye Zhiqiu stopped his steps and stared at Xiao Pingting with a hard heart.

"In the road of growth, you and I will experience countless grievances. Ping Ting, you must stick to it and don't give up your inner ideals..." In the heavy rain, Ye Zhiqiu said what only he could hear.

However, when Xiao Pingting walked forward in a daze, Ye Zhiqiu finally gave up her inner persistence and walked up with an umbrella.

The rain left from her head, covering Xiao Pingting's sight. At this time, although Xiao Pingting's appearance was calm and indifferent, her heart was like a dead silence, with a feeling of despair.

"I'm not what you think. Please don't misunderstand me..." Xiao Pingting said to herself.

The dark sky was suddenly covered by a black cloth, and the rain was suddenly isolated by a black cloth.

"I know, so I'm waiting for you." Ye Zhiqiu's gentle voice penetrated into Xiao Pingting's ears.

Xiao Pingting turned her head in a dotant, and then saw Ye Zhiqiu.

"Go back, so you will get sick." Ye Zhiqiu smiled.

Xiao Pingting nodded. Unknowingly, a force rose from there. She suddenly rushed forward and hugged Ye Zhiqiu, and cried silently the next moment.

"Cry, after crying, you will be stronger in the future." Ye Zhiqiu comforted him.

"Hmm."

"Don't contact those people in the future. You won't get any benefits."

"Hmm."

In the wind and rain, the two of them snuggled up to the school under an umbrella.

It's just that Ye Zhiqiu knew in his heart that this did not mean that Xiao Pingting would fall in love with him desperately. Also in Ye Zhiqiu's opinion, the real feelings are not like this.
