HAPPY MONDAY! ⁽(◍˃̵͈̑ᴗ˂̵͈̑)⁽

Jiang Cheng realized that he himself was quite the rotten person - skipping class and picking fights were things he did not lack doing, but he had never knocked someone out cold and left them lying in the snow just for him to go back inside and continue eating.

"Hey," he followed Gu Fei into the shop and stared intently as Gu Fei plopped back down on the chair nonchalantly. This conversation could not be bluntly carried out with Gu Miao present, so Jiang Cheng could only vaguely hint at it, "That... you're really not going to take care of it?"

"Don't worry, it's fine," Gu Fei looked at him. "He'll leave by himself once he stands up and he'll only need to fix his nose bridge at most... you're quite kind. How come you weren't worried when you come into contact with Hou Zi and his gang."

"Did I..." Jiang Cheng pointed toward the door and then after having to decide on a proper vocabulary for quite a while, he added: "... put them to sleep?"

Gu Fei looked at him in silence, but the suppressed smile on his face could be easily seen.

"Fine," Jiang Cheng sat down. "It's not like I caused it."

Gu Fei lowered his head and continued to eat. Jiang Cheng didn't say anything else afterward even though he really wasn't sure if the guy outside could "stand up" and even "walk away himself".

The difference in the environment was a plausible factor - the environment he grew up in taught him that no matter how worrisome his actions were, there was always a "degree" to which these actions were exercised. Yet Gu Fei, looking at this rundown old town, looking at the people around, this sort of unrestrained wildness was able to go unnoticed.

Thinking in this way, Jiang Cheng actually felt quite thankful toward Gu Fei, thankful that when he lied face flat in the snow "sleeping" back then, Gu Fei didn't let him freeze to death outside.

Jiang Cheng was quite accustomed to eating in silence with the Gu siblings, the two previous meals were all like this. Gu Miao didn't talk, Jiang Cheng had nothing to say and Gu Fei had no desire to speak at all from the looks of it.

Eating like this was quite time-efficient, ten minutes in and they were just about finished.

As he put down his chopsticks and was going to say a word of gratitude, a string of painful curses sounded from outside the door. From the sound of it, the guy who was put to sleep had finally woken up.

Jiang Cheng let out a sigh of relief and continued to listen.

The person cursed but with great difficulty, most likely because his nose bridge was broken. Loosely listening to the words, his scripted cursing was stylistically very similar to the fight in which Li Bao Guo's neighbors were involved.

This was perhaps street culture.

Except there was a sonorous phrase that caught his attention, so unable to refrain himself Jiang Cheng glanced up at Gu Fei.

"So I fucked your mom, what are you gonna do about it!" The person's speech was unclear, but it could still be deciphered.

After Gu Fei's gaze met his own, he took a few more sips of the soup before responding: "My mom's boyfriend..."

"What?" Jiang Cheng did not wait for him to finish before expressing his own extreme surprise. Though the man was quite disgusting, he was at most around thirty, even if Gu Fei's mother gave birth to him at the age of twenty, she would still have to be close to forty.
