Chu Chengmu himself did not have deep feelings for his classmates. Since graduating from high school, except for a few encounters with old classmates, he has never taken the initiative to contact or participate in activities held by these classmates.

However, although he would not judge others by himself and ask Xian Tingshu to treat his old classmates as strangers, he did not have much fondness for this group of people and was too lazy to talk to them.

There were two missing people in Team 5 who had returned home in glory, which did not have much impact on the people who stayed. Chu Chengmu left the classroom after pretending to be cool, leaving the rest of his time to himself.

Tingshu and her classmates and teachers.

In fact, Chu Chengmu didn't have much interest in things like pretending to slap someone in the face, at least not in front of such a small character. The main reason was that the woman named Li Wanwan kept talking about marriage when she had nothing to do, and then on that topic

If they continued to chat, they would break some of the tacit understanding between him and Xian Tingshu. He did not want to see Xian Tingshu embarrassed in this regard.

What's more, as the level of people Chu Chengmu has come into contact with over the past six months has increased and his circle has expanded, although he tried his best to maintain a normal mentality and not let himself flatter others and suppress others, his vision is still inevitable.

I have been promoted a lot. It's actually quite boring to show off in front of little people. If you want to show off, you have to show off in front of big guys like Lei Jun and Zhang Xiaolong, and scare them into a daze. That's fun.

After accompanying Xian Tingshu to take photos at school, seeing that it was almost noon, Chu Chengmu led her and her old classmates up the mountain together. These old classmates chartered a minibus for themselves.

, the cost was naturally borne by Chu Cheng Mu.

There was an incident during this period. A woman with chives in her teeth wanted to get into Chu Chengmu's car, but he gave him a cold look and finally hid aside. She felt like she was asking for trouble.

,

This woman tried to get into Xian Tingshu's car again, but was still politely rejected by Xian Tingshu. This scene made everyone on the minibus extremely happy. For them, wherever the happy person goes, they will always be happy.

He is a happy person.

When I was at the Normal School, I saw the bustling crowd, but when I got to the mountain, there were actually not many people there. Except for Lao Chu’s previous class who planned to go up the mountain to escape the summer heat, most of the other former students of the Normal School were just

We came back and took a group photo at our alma mater for a while, and then went our separate ways to pursue their own lives.

However, Lao Chu and his group of old classmates have quite a full schedule. The summer vacation in Xianyu Mountain is just the last step of their class reunion. There were other travel itineraries before, and I heard that most of the expenses were borne by Zhou Xiang. So when Chu City Mu

When we arrived at the mountain, we didn't get to meet these godfathers and godmothers, but we were happy to be in peace and quiet.

Chu Chengmu and Xian Tingshu sent her old classmates to an inn in the middle of the lake. Feeling a little hungry, Chu Chengmu planned to go back to the small villa in the mountain to rest for a while, but Xian Tingshu stopped.

She wants to get together with her old classmates again.

Most people are indispensable for vanity, even Xian Tingshu is no exception. After all, her downturn back then has become a topic of conversation among these so-called old classmates. Now that she has the opportunity to slap her in the face, she naturally doesn't want to miss it.

Xian Tingshu wanted to stay here, but Chu Chengmu didn't have much interest in dealing with these people. If he had this time, he might as well go back to the villa to fish or something. Speaking of which, it wouldn't be long before the fishing rod given by Luo Peidong would be in his hands.

It's short, and I haven't been able to open it yet.

Chu Chengmu didn't want to spoil Xian Tingshu's interest, but he also didn't want to stay here and waste time, so the two discussed the next itinerary. Xian Tingshu would accompany her old classmates here, and Chu Chengmu

Mu and Gou Dongci went back to the small villa to rest first, and waited until Xian Tingshu had vented enough before taking her over.

Taking the villa's ferry back to the shore again, Chu Chengmu and Gou Dongci picked up the car and returned to the small mountain villa not long after. Su Qinglan moved very quickly. It had only been a week since the last time he visited the house.

Around that time, the rose wall in the original 2-story garden had been removed, and exotic pines and cypresses had been replanted, making the whole building no longer look so weird.

It was already past 3 p.m. when Chu Chengmu returned to the small villa. Xian Niang and Huo Tingfeng were preparing ingredients for the evening barbecue in the kitchen. Yan Shumo brought a lounge chair, wearing beach pants and a floral shirt, and sat on the barbecue rack.

While flossing my teeth, I kept a cup on hand

Freshly squeezed watermelon juice, wearing a pair of toad sunglasses I don't know where I got on my face, it looked like everyone was asking for a beating. As for Li Junhao and Chengzi, Chu Chengmu saw this young couple when he came back.

I was holding a boat and rippling in the bright blue lake.

Huo Tingfeng prepared a lot of ingredients, not only all kinds of meat, but also a lot of vegetables. He also prepared three half-sized sheep that had been slaughtered. Gou Dongci 1 saw that Huo Tingfeng had prepared mutton, and he didn't even rush to eat lunch.

He plunged into the kitchen. Not long after, Huo Tingfeng's disgusted voice came from the kitchen.

Chu Chengmu walked up to Yan Shumo in a few steps, picked up the watermelon juice in his hand and drank it in one gulp, then kicked him with his feet, indicating that he would give up his position to him. Yan Shumo pulled down once.

He glanced at Chu Chengmu through his sunglasses, and then moved the recliner to the side, which made Chu Chengmu furious. As a last resort, Chu Chengmu went to the room and brought out a recliner, and in Li Yan Shumo

He sat down a little further away.

Xian Niang learned that Chu Chengmu and Gou Dongci hadn't had lunch yet, so they were busy chatting in the kitchen for a while and then walked out with a large plate of marinated meat. This time Yan Shumo had some insight.

, stepped forward and took the meat from Xian Niang's hand, and added some charcoal to the barbecue grill again. Seeing that the fire was burning brightly again, he took the initiative to grill Chu Chengmu.

"When did you get this house? Do you enjoy it or do you enjoy it? I just heard you say there was a small house here. I didn't expect it to be so grand. If I had known you came down the mountain, I would have come here directly.

, to save me from being caught by my father."

Yan Shumo looked back at the three-story building behind him, then stood up and looked down at the lake and mountains not far away. He picked up a few freshly roasted prawns and placed them in front of Chu Chengmu. Chu Chengmu was very surprised.

I looked at it with disdain. It was basically difficult to grill the shrimp into the flavor. It looked like it was covered with grilling ingredients and looked oily and smooth. But when I peeled off the skin, the shrimp meat inside had no flavor at all.

None.

After watching a few prawns struggling for a while, Chu Chengmu still couldn't stop the hunger in his belly. He resignedly reached out and peeled the prawns. Seeing that Yan Shumo was about to grill the prawns, he hurriedly stopped him and said:

"This thing is not tasty, so bake something else. It took me almost two years to build this house. Do you still remember Pei Lan's wedding the summer before last? Didn't I give her a big red envelope?

?”

"Huh? Remember, what's wrong?" Yan Shumo picked through the meat, picked out a few skewers of fat and thin veal, and put it on the grill.

Chu Chengmu peeled off the shrimp meat in a few times, picked up the dipping sauce on hand, dipped it in, threw it into his mouth, and said while eating:

"I gave him a big red envelope at first, and then I privately attended a thank you banquet hosted by Pei Lan's mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law worked for the Jincheng Tourism Bureau, and it was through her that I got this homestead here.

Didn't you go out and play cards with your old classmates every day at that time? That's what I did during that time."

"I got this homestead for a while, and then I found the owner of the company that decorated my house and asked her to help repair this small building. She also helped to repair the farmhouse in my hometown. Calculating the time,

It’s been almost half a year since the construction started.”

Yan Shumo heard the words and was about to speak when he saw Gou Dongci walking out of the small building with a disgraced face, holding a large pot of mutton in his hand. The big man walked up to Yan Shumo in a few steps and poured out all the mutton.

On the grill

Suddenly, a burst of thick smoke rose, making Yan Shumo choke to tears. Seeing this, Yan Shumo hurriedly gave up the barbecue position to the big man, holding half a cup of watermelon juice left.

He hid next to Chu Chengmu.

"B*tch, you're a wild boar and you can't eat the fine bran? Even if you have a barbecue, it will make you messy." Yan Shumo rubbed his red eyes and cursed loudly.

"You know what the heck! Barbecuing means you have to eat it in big mouthfuls to enjoy it. On our grassland, we fry it directly on a large iron plate, unlike you, who also wears it with bamboo sticks, which is very laborious." Gou Dongci pulled a wooden stool and sat down.

, glanced at Yan Shumo not far away, picked up the rack for mixing meat, picked up the lamb on the grill, turned it over, and said.

Hearing this, Chu Chengmu stretched his neck to look at Gou Dongci's operations, and suddenly remembered that this bitch cooked sheep in his house during the winter vacation last year, which made the whole house smell like a stinky smell. Compared to that

I was so angry back then, but now my operations have become much more restrained.

"Speaking of which, why are you so quiet this year? At this time in previous years, weren't you playing mahjong with your high school classmates at the foot of the mountain, or just having various dates? Why are you staying on the mountain this year?" Chu Chengmu said a few words

After eating the shrimp meat, he looked at the thick smoke created by Gou Dongci, lit a cigarette for himself, handed the cigarette case to Yan Shumo, got up and walked to the observation deck located on the first side of courtyard 1.

Yan Shumo took the cigarette, glanced at Chu Chengmu, stood up from the recliner, followed behind him, lowered his head to light the cigarette, and said as he walked:

"It's not interesting. Maybe it's because I've been around you a lot and I've been influenced by you to some extent. We were still very close to each other when we were freshmen. It feels like the friendship we had in high school is still there. The winter vacation of our sophomore year was actually over.

It feels like some of them are worth less than a dollar, and by this summer, I have no energy to deal with them at all. I always feel that a group of half-year-old children are pretending to be adults, which is quite ridiculous."

Chu Chengmu walked to the viewing platform in a few steps, pulled up the bamboo curtain, and looked down at the young couple Li Junhao and Chen Xincheng who had parked the boat at the edge of the island in the middle of the lake and were lying side by side among the reeds.

The couple saw Chu Chengmu from afar, and they both sat up and waved to him. Chu Chengmu smiled slightly when he saw this, waved to the two of them, then turned to look at Yan Shumo, and said:

"Generally speaking, people who think others are naive are often immature themselves. I had a friend who had similar thoughts to you before, and ended up accidentally cutting off some of his own branches and vines. In fact, with our current situation

Age and experience cannot clearly distinguish which interactions are beneficial to oneself and which ones are harmful. Young people should look like young people, so you don’t need to imitate me."

Yan Shumo sat on the edge of the observation deck, looked down at Li Junhao and said with some envy:

"Suddenly I feel like a mouse, and it's nice to have a fixed partner! What do you mean, let me keep my own small circle, and there is no need to be so picky like you?"

Chu Chengmu walked back to the small tea table in the middle of the viewing platform, looked down at the bottom of the tea table, and saw an unopened bottle of bottled water there, so he opened the seal and inserted the water pipe under the tea table.

Went in, rummaged through the coffee table again, dug out a few boxes of tea, and picked out a box of Tieguanyin.

After recalling Zhong Qingqing's usual practice, Chu Chengmu added some pure water to the hot water kettle, rinsed the kettle, added some water to the kettle again, turned on the heating switch, and then raised his head to look.

He looked at Yan Shumo who was sitting on the edge of the observation deck, shook his head and said:

"I have a personality flaw and it's hard to get close to people. But you are different from me. You have never lacked friends since you were a child. There is no need to imitate me."

When Yan Shumo heard this, he sighed, looked at Chu Chengmu with a complicated expression, and said softly:

"But you have already taken me to see some scenery that is not suitable for my age. How can I go back now? When I had never seen the scenery from high places before, I didn't feel like I was in a quagmire.

But who are the people you have put me in contact with in the past few months, Zhong Qingqing, Bai Fangyu, and the senior executives of your company."

"Especially when you were on the 51st, you were sitting in the conference room dealing with things. Do you think I would be willing to lie down in that quagmire after seeing you like that? Now it's not just what you showed me.

The scenery, even Brother Feng, that old man, I am envious of him in his current state."

"Chu Chengmu, I miss Pinellia ternata a little bit."

Chu Chengmu was slightly startled when he heard the words. He heard the electric kettle beeping for a while. He quickly lowered his head and picked up the hot kettle at hand, scalded the tea set at hand, and made another pot of water. See

Not far in front of him, he was holding his chin, looking at the dazed Fa Xiao on the lake, and said, "Why do you suddenly remember that you want to see her?"

When Yan Shumo heard this, he scratched his head and turned to look at Chu Chengmu. After a while, he said: "Seeing that everyone is a couple, I suddenly want to fall in love.

Yes, do you believe it?"

Hearing this, Chu Chengmu took the bamboo clips to place the ironed tea sets, and chuckled: "How can there be a one-on-one relationship? Aren't Gou Dongci and I also single? You want to fall in love now, then
To be continued...
