♂?，，

  "Okay." I nodded in response: "I'll call Nannan right away."

  Sitting next to Yuzhou Fei, I dialed Nannan's phone number. Nannan was indeed still not awake, drowsily: "Hello?"

  "Nan Nan jie, I'm Hao Zi ah." I chuckled: "Not up yet?"

  "Where is it?"

  "Internet cafe, with Yu Ge and them together."

  "Has Yu Ge hooked up with a new chick? Keep an eye on him for me, and if you hear even the slightest rumor, report back to me right away. I'll rush over immediately." Nannan intentionally lowered her voice, making it sound like they were in some sort of underground organization.

  I glanced at Yu Ge, and he nervously said: "What are you looking at me for?" I ignored him and continued talking to Nan Nan: "Don't worry, Nan Nan Jie, I think he doesn't have the guts." Nan Nan burst out laughing on the phone, and I couldn't help but laugh too. Yu Cheng Fei looked at me with a puzzled expression. Then I said: "Nan Nan Jie, I want to go home and thank Uncle in person, is Uncle available now?"

  "Haha, my dad wants to meet you too." Nannan said: "Then come over tonight."

  "Okay." I was about to hang up the phone when Nannan said: "You don't have any money on you, ask Yuge for some."

  I softly responded and turned my head to look at Yucheng Fei again. Yucheng Fei said nervously, "What are you looking at me for? Did Nannan say something?" I smiled and said, "Nothing, Sister Nannan said her dad wanted to meet me." Yucheng Fei was delighted: "That's great! Make a good impression and build a relationship with Nannan's dad. It'll be more convenient when we need to get things done in the future."

  "Don't assign me tasks anymore, it's too stressful." I shook my head and sighed.

  "Haha, just kidding. Never mind, go ahead, say what you want to say, just be polite."

  "Okay." I nodded and said: "Brother Yu, I want to discuss something with you."

  "Say."

  Then I told the story of Xia Xue's dad, "I just bothered Nannan sister, now I'm bothering her again, isn't it a bit too much, not knowing what's good for me?" Yuzhicheng fell silent for a moment, then said: "Yes." My heart sank.

  Ujo continued, "Actually, it's just bothering Nana every day, and she won't say anything about it, but I feel guilty in my heart." I nodded, no one wants to bother others all the time. Ujo went on, "But since that girl is his girlfriend, it's a different story, so let's decline, Nana will definitely help out. Don't have any psychological pressure, who doesn't have their own issues?"

  I nodded, feeling a bit uncomfortable in my heart. I thought to myself that this was the last time I would bother Nannan sister, and from now on I wouldn't casually find someone else to help me out. I stood up and said, "Nannan sister asked me to go over tonight, so I'll just go buy some things outside." My nose felt sour, feeling like I was too useless, always getting into trouble for others at the drop of a hat. After saying that, I headed out, not even mentioning the money issue with Yuchengfei, because his family conditions weren't good either. I would just borrow some myself and pay it back slowly.

  As I left the internet cafe, I realized someone was following me from behind. When I turned around, it was actually Ushiro Hiro.

  "Brother Yu, how did you end up coming out too?"

  "Aren't we going to buy something? The money on me definitely isn't enough, I'll go help buy some."

  "No need, Uncle Yu, I'll just borrow some from Ye Zhan and them."

  "Hehe." Ushiro flew into a smile and stood at the entrance of the internet cafe, saying: "Haozi, you don't know yet..."

  "What?"

  "This street is lined with internet cafes..." Yu Cheng Fei spread his hands, pointing to the more than a dozen large and small internet cafes on this street. The sunlight shone on his face, which was filled with laziness yet confidence: "We're making money hand over fist... no need to worry about that."

  That was the first time I knew, as a hoodlum, how to make money. The group of people led by Ushiro Hiro, were the first batch of hoodlums in the three schools who started making money using violence. When ordinary student hoodlums were still relying on intimidation and extortion from their classmates for money, they had already completed their transformation from student-type hoodlums to societal-type hoodlums.

  Yucheng Fei and his friends happened to be at Old Zhang's internet cafe when a group of thugs came in causing trouble, smashing mice, keyboards, computer cases, and screens. Old Zhang tried to stop them but ended up getting beaten badly. Yucheng Fei and his friends couldn't just stand by, so they taught the thugs a lesson. To thank them, Old Zhang invited them out for dinner that night and even gave them some money. Yucheng Fei and his friends didn't want it at first, but Old Zhang insisted, saying "It's not just to thank you this time, I also hope you can help me in the future..." Yucheng Fei and his friends looked at each other and understood what he meant, so they accepted the money.

  In fact, as long as you open a store outside, you can't avoid being harassed by rascals, especially in entertainment venues, bath centers, discos, song halls, leisure clubs, nightclubs... Which place doesn't have a group of thugs? Internet cafes are better, those who come to make trouble are student-type thugs, social-type thugs look down on this place. But even student-type thugs are enough to make Old Zhang, a timid and fearful businessman, drink a pot of wine. In the past, it wasn't that no one had suggested taking over this place, but their appetite was too big and they were rejected by Old Zhang.

  Lao Zhang had a good eye for choosing Yu Chengfei and the others. This was a group of brave and daring people who had extremely high prestige in all three schools, and were very righteous. They wouldn't ask for too much money, and if something happened, they would definitely help out. Lao Zhang was very satisfied, and would distribute the profits to them according to the monthly sales, more or less. They didn't care about the amount, as long as they got what they wanted, their appetites wouldn't grow bigger. Lao Zhang was also a kind-hearted person, sincerely making friends with this group of people, even showing them the account book every month to prove he wasn't hiding anything. Yu Chengfei naturally didn't look at the account book, saying: "Lao Zhang, we trust each other, no need for these formalities."

  Ukyo Tachibana's body is full of the spirit of Jianghu, righteous, open-minded, and resolute. Such a person is destined to become a big brother.

  Yu Chengfei and others covered Lao Zhang's internet cafe, and indeed no one dared to make trouble here. Other internet cafe owners saw this and came to find Yu Chengfei, saying that covering one or ten internet cafes was all the same, so why not cover theirs too?

  Ukyo Fu thought that since all the internet cafes were together, no matter where something happened, he could quickly rush over. He readily accepted the task without hesitation. In fact, it proved to be a correct choice for these internet cafes to ask Ukyo Fu to take care of them. From then on, there were no more students causing trouble in this area, and business naturally got better and better, with everyone making money together.

  Ukyo told me all these stories, and I was truly impressed: "Brother Ukyo, I'm eager to go to vocational school. It's much easier than taking the university entrance exam and finding a job." Ukyo shook his head: "Haozi, don't think it's that simple. In this line of work, you're living on the edge of a knife. There are many people mixed up in this, but there's only so much to go around. Who gets to eat and who doesn't depends on whose fists are the hardest. Actually, among these three schools, my fists aren't even the strongest. I was just the first one to come out and make some money with the resources I had. But that doesn't mean others won't get jealous and try to take it from me."

  "Bring it on!" I clenched my fists, my blood boiling with excitement. With Yuzuki by my side, I felt invincible.

  "Hehe." Ushiro flew and touched my head: "Since childhood has been clever, I'm waiting for when to become my white paper fan."

  "Uh-huh!" I nodded heavily.

  I went into a tobacco and liquor store, Yuzhi Fei helped me pick out two good cigarettes and two good wines, and then took me to the supermarket to buy some nutritional supplements. Watching him spend money like water, I was sure that this guy had made a lot of money, no wonder Nan Nan told me to ask him for money directly. Compared to the little boy who grew up wearing tattered pants and envying others eating cotton candy, Yuzhi Fei's change is really heaven and earth apart. After buying everything, it was still early, so Yuzhi Fei took me back to the internet cafe.

  They were playing that game, and I also created a character, only the level was very low. However, as soon as I went online, everyone brought me to upgrade. Forming a team outside the village to kill monsters, encountering many high-level players who came to ambush us. My level was too low, unable to help or be killed (low-level protection status), could only watch them fight fiercely, after a fierce battle, either they killed others or were killed themselves. But it's just a game, dying can revive, but losing experience and equipment is all.

  Although it's just a game, I'm sweating profusely and holding my breath in tension. Fortunately, it's just a game; if it were real life, where would one have the chance to get back up after being knocked down? In games, there are countless lives, but in reality, there's only one. The people around me, behind me, and beside me - they're all struggling to make a living with this single life...

  It was soon evening, and Nannan called to say I could go. Yuchen Fei helped me carry my things out and while we were waiting for a taxi by the side of the road, Yuchen Fei said: "Haozi, about that thing with Xia Xue, quietly tell Nannan, don't let her dad know. Nannan won't bother you, but it's hard to say whether her dad will or not, got it?"

  I nodded: "Got it, Uncle Yu." Actually, this kind of thing doesn't need Yuchenfei to teach me, I also know. I'm not familiar with her dad, so how dare I say it in front of him? Of course, I'll find an opportunity to talk to Nannan alone.

  Took a taxi, rushed to the legendary Chu Chang Building, which is a garden-style villa. In the late 1990s, Zhengfu built welfare houses for officials of a certain level in this city, and was figuratively called Chu Chang Building. Nannan's home was one of them. After making a phone call and following Nannan's directions, turning left and right, I finally arrived at the gate of the Deputy Mayor of Beiyuan City.

  To be honest, I'm not relaxed at all. I took a deep breath and pressed the doorbell. After a while, the door opened, and Nan Nan appeared in the doorway, saying cheerfully: "Haozi is here!" and then pulled my hand to lead me inside.

  Inside is a pretty big yard, in the yard are planted several trees, it's late and can't see what kind of trees they are.
