Chapter 158 Childhood Friends (13)

On the weekend, Chen Ye had lunch before going out. Duan Xu said he had nothing to do and followed Chen Ye out.

As soon as they got downstairs, they met Sun Xiaoxiao. After Sun Xiaoxiao found out that Chen was also going to the bookstore, he also said that he would go with him. The team going to buy books suddenly grew larger.

Cui Mingzhe dressed up specially today, had his hair cut, and held two cups of milk tea in his hands.

When he saw Chen Ye, he was surprised at first, but after seeing Sun Xiaoxiao and Duan Xu next to Chen Ye, his smile turned awkward. He didn't expect that after he made an appointment with Chen Ye, so many people would come.

"I only bought two cups of milk tea. I'll go buy two more."

Chen also said: "No, I'm not thirsty yet. My brother doesn't drink milk tea."

Sun Xiaoxiao, who was very outgoing, took two steps forward and took a cup of milk tea from Cui Mingzhe's hand, put a straw in it and drank it. "It's okay. If they don't drink, I will. I eat everything."

Cui Mingzhe curled his lips and said, "Then let's go into the bookstore together."

The bookstore is the largest in the city, with two floors in total, and teaching materials are on the second floor.

Chen Ye wanted to buy the novel firstly, and secondly, he wanted to buy some teaching materials of his major in advance.

Duan Xu's eyes fell on a book, and finally moved away.

Chen Ye asked Sun Xiaoxiao next to him, "Do you want to buy materials? This math material is good, you can take one."

Sun Xiaoxiao waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I get a headache just looking at math books."

He is good at sports and is a sports specialty student, but he has always been mediocre in academic subjects.

Sun Xiaoxiao asked Cui Mingzhe, "Brother, you run so fast, why don't you study sports?"

Cui Mingzhe said: "I prefer cultural subjects and want to be a lawyer."

"Not bad," Sun Xiaoxiao walked to Cui Mingzhe's side, "You can study academic subjects while doing sports. I saw you playing basketball on the court before. Do you want to come out and play basketball with me? The summer vacation is still long anyway."

Sun Xiaoxiao and Cui Mingzhe started chatting, and Chen Ye walked over to Duan Xu who was standing in front of the bookshelf.

"What book did you buy?"

Duan Xu said: "I picked two financial books."

Chen Ye took a look at the book in his hand and found it was indeed a financial book. After buying the book, several people went to the front desk to pay.

When checking out, Duan Xu was walking at the back. In addition to the financial books, there was also a novel underneath him with two boys on the cover.

When Duan Xu gave the book to the cashier, Chen Ye and the others had already paid and were waiting outside the bookstore. Staring at the cover of the novel, Duan Xu had a puzzled look in his eyes. He himself didn't know why he took the book.

Maybe it was out of curiosity, or maybe for some other reason.

It was still early, so Sun Xiaoxiao suggested that they go out and have some fun together.

When passing by a haunted house, Sun Xiaoxiao took the flyer handed out by the clerk at the door and decided to go there.

Chen Ye used to play haunted houses often when he was in college. He liked horror and mystery novels and was also interested in haunted houses. As long as it was not a real ghost, no matter how scary it was, Chen Ye didn't feel anything.

When entering the haunted house, Chen Ye, Duan Xu and Sun Xiaoxiao were all very calm, only Cui Mingzhe looked unhappy.

Cui Mingzhe has been afraid of ghosts since he was a child, but in order not to spoil the fun, he didn't say it out loud.

The real insidiousness of the haunted house echoed in my ears. It was pitch black and I couldn't see my hand in front of me. Sun Xiaoxiao walked in front, followed by Chen Ye, Duan Xu, and finally Cui Mingzhe.

Suddenly, an NPC dressed as a female ghost rushed out. Sun Xiaoxiao was not afraid at all and stared at the female ghost with a smile. Among the group, only Cui Mingzhe was frightened and screamed.

Sun Xiaoxiao heard the noise and took a few steps back, "Brother, you can't do it, are you scared already?"

He turned to Chen Ye and the others and said, "You two go ahead, I'll take care of him."

Chen Ye took the lead, holding Duan Xu's hand, and behind him, Sun Xiaoxiao supported Cui Mingzhe, whose legs were weak.

Along the way, we encountered zombies, vampires, and some monsters that suddenly popped out.

Chen Ye was calm throughout the whole process, only when the masked killer chased them with a chainsaw did Chen Ye feel a little bit of crisis. Fortunately, Duan Xu pulled him and ran fast, so he was not caught up.

Cui Mingzhe would be frightened whenever something appeared. At first, he didn't want Sun Xiaoxiao to help him, but later he leaned on Sun Xiaoxiao and was dragged away by Sun Xiaoxiao.

When leaving the haunted house, Chen Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead. "I feel that the haunted house is not scary now. It has become parkour. The NPC with the chainsaw is so dedicated. He ran away with his shoes but still chased us."

Chen Ye poured a glass of water from the water dispenser in the rest area for Cui Mingzhe, who looked very pale. "Are you okay? If you had told us earlier that you were so scared of us, we wouldn't have come in."

Cui Mingzhe is 185cm tall, strong and tough. Chen never expected that Cui Mingzhe would be so afraid of haunted houses.

After taking a sip of water, Cui Mingzhe said: "It's okay, I'm back to normal now."

He turned to Sun Xiaoxiao and said, "Thank you for taking me along."

Sun Xiaoxiao waved his hand and said very casually: "It's a small matter."

After that day, Sun Xiaoxiao and Cui Mingzhe exchanged contact information. The two would make appointments to play basketball together whenever they had time. Chen would just watch from the side, and sometimes he would also go on the court and let Sun Xiaoxiao teach him how to play basketball.

When the summer vacation was almost over, Chen Ye had nothing to do all day, but Duan Xu was more organized than him. During the day, he either prepared for university courses or studied programming and PR.

Chen Ye's cousin Zhou Mo often came to play with Chen Ye after the high school entrance examination.

Zhou Mo is no longer the little kid with a runny nose who asked Chen Ye to take him to play slingshot. He has matured after entering puberty and talks less. His only hobby is playing games.

Duan Xu went out in the afternoon. Zhou Mo lay on Chen Ye's bed, holding a cell phone in his hand, and kept urging Chen Ye, "Brother, hurry up, come and save me."

Chen Ye responded lazily, "Coming, coming, right away."

After playing games for an entire afternoon, Zhou Mo's stomach started to growl. He nudged Chen Ye's arm and asked, "Is there anything to eat, brother?"

Chen also said: "There are fruits and milk in the refrigerator, and there are a few bags of potato chips in my drawer, you can take them yourself. Don't eat potato chips in bed."

Zhou Mo turned over, opened the drawer, and took out a bag of cucumber-flavored potato chips. "I know, Brother Duan is a germaphobe and won't let people eat in bed."

When Zhou Mo was a child, he loved to chase Duan Xu and call him "cousin". When he grew up and became sensible, he started to call him "brother Duan".

After tearing open the potato chips, Zhou Mo walked to the living room and got another box of milk to drink. After eating and drinking his fill, Zhou Mo lay back on the bed.

Zhou Mo was lying sideways and Chen Ye was lying vertically. When he looked up during a break in playing games, he saw Chen Ye's legs.

After staring at Chen Ye's legs for a few seconds, Zhou Mo touched them and said, "Brother, your legs are so white. I wish I could be as white as yours. Then my mom wouldn't call me a black monkey."

Chen Ye's legs trembled and he shook his hand off. "You will become white if you drink more milk."

Zhou Mo was about to say something when he looked up and saw Duan Xu.
