Zhou Baopu had such an uncomfortable sleep that he even slept through him the next day. So when Zhou Baopu got up, he misremembered the time and ignored the day he slept on. If Shangguan Rui hadn't just come to ask him to take the assessment together, he might have really forgotten.
Ranked as one of the Four Young Masters, and known as the Smart Young Master by the world, Shangguan Rui's intelligence is unquestionable and universally recognized.
As smart as Shangguan Rui, the reason why he became friends with Zhou Baopu was obviously not as simple as a chance meeting, nor could it be explained clearly by taking care of Zhou Baopu who was seriously injured.
Shangguan Rui clearly remembers that it was Fu Chi, the owner of Tianfu Tower, who personally asked him to come and take care of Zhou Baopu. Shangguan Rui was no stranger to Fu Chi, so when he first got to know Zhou Baopu, he might have wanted to take advantage of Zhou Baopu. This east wind has once again established some friendship with Fu Chi.
Naturally, Zhou Baopu was completely kept in the dark about all this.
Zhou Baopu didn't know that although he kept claiming that he didn't want Fu Chi's help, Fu Chi still helped him when he didn't know it.
However, since these help were not known to Zhou Baopu, he was prevented from feeling guilty.
"If you hadn't come to see me just now, I might have really forgotten. Thank you so much."
Zhou Baopu walked with Guan Rui and apologized to Shangguan Rui again. Zhou Baopu said this completely sincerely, because if it weren't for Shangguan Rui, Zhou Baopu might really have waited until tomorrow to take the assessment. In that case, even if he had extraordinary strength, he would not be able to make up for it.
After passing through this village, it is rare to find this shop, let alone the entrance examination of Tianfu Tower?
If you miss it, you will definitely not be able to make it up.
"Haha, you don't have to worry about this little thing. I also came to see you during the first assessment, but you left too early, so I didn't see you." Shangguan Rui said this
. , has two meanings.
The first level is, of course, to prevent Zhou Baopu from taking this matter to heart; the second level is to indirectly tell Zhou Baopu that not only this second assessment, but also the first assessment, he had gone to Zhou Baopu.
Of course, no matter what the meaning is, Shangguan Rui is undoubtedly achieving the same goal, which is to invisibly increase the favor Zhou Baopu owes him.
Zhou Baopu had a delicate mind, how could he not know Shangguan Rui's little abacus, so after hearing what Shangguan Rui said, he laughed, touched the back of his head, and said sheepishly: "This is my first time too. I was participating in the assessment, so I was very nervous at the time, so I went early. If I had known that you were looking for me, I would definitely not have set off in advance." Zhou Baopu used roundabout tactics and did not directly face
Shangguan Rui's questions. He gave an excuse for his absence at the time and answered Shangguan Rui indirectly.
In this way, Zhou Baopu put aside his own relationship and attributed all this to coincidence. Naturally, this kind of human debt that Shangguan Rui wanted to impose on him was naturally reflected in such playful and seemingly innocent chatting and laughing. , was cleverly melted away by Zhou Baopu.
"Baopu, are you here so early?"
Zhou Baopu heard his voice before he saw him. Zhou Baopu raised his eyes and looked towards the source of life, and saw Duanmusen looking at him with a smile on his face.
Duanmusen's interpersonal skills are obviously not limited. Seeing Shangguan Rui next to Zhou Baopu, before Zhou Baopu could respond to his greeting, a smiling face stretched out in front of Shangguan Rui, and he politely extended his right hand, and at the same time said in a surprised tone: "I guess Is this the famous Shangguan Young Master? It's better to meet each other than to be famous. The brothers' demeanor is really extraordinary!"
Shangguan Rui looked at Duanmusen's familiar appearance and couldn't help but froze and stood on the spot. Suddenly, his eloquent tongue suddenly became knotted. At the same time, he opened his eyes wide and stared at the unfamiliar Duanmusen's outstretched right hand.
This is no wonder Shangguan Rui, after all, Zhou Baopu told Duanmusen about him, but never told him about Duanmusen.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Baopu didn't understand what happened.
Quickly, Zhou Baopu turned around, turned his head towards Shangguan Rui and said, "It's all my fault, I didn't tell you about it. This is Duanmusen, the first friend I met among the disciples who were taking the exam. "
When he said this, Zhou Baopu patted Duanmusen's shoulder with his right hand, shook it slightly, and at the same time secretly winked at Shangguan Rui.
In fact, after listening to Zhou Baopu's explanation, Shangguan Rui already understood about seventy-eight points, and saw the meaning conveyed to him by Zhou Baopu's eyes. He immediately understood the situation, hurriedly grabbed Duanmusen's right hand, and shouted happily He said: "It turns out that you are Mr. De, one of the four great princes. I never thought that I would see you in this place." "We
meet everywhere in life, but the fate has not come yet. As soon as the fate comes, how can we meet you?" Didn't we meet each other?"
Zhou Baopu looked at the two people who had met so late, and felt happy in his heart. No matter what, these were the first two friends he made when he came here. Regardless of whether there is a dispute of interest, Zhou Baopu knows better that friendship is established in such disputes.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Baopu couldn't help but feel itchy in his heart and mouth, and read out this limerick. At the same time, Zhou Baopu's right hand was also placed on the hands of the two people who were holding each other tightly. He looked at Shangguan Rui to the left, then looked at Duanmusen to the right, and said with a smile.
"I didn't expect that Brother Zhou could actually compose poetry. I'm really surprised!"
Shangguan Rui said with a smile when he saw Zhou Baopu coming with his mouth open. When Shangguan Rui said this, there was a sincere flame in his eyes, and there was no hint of joking. He was obviously stunned by Zhou Baopu's talent. His tone was very natural, without any sign of fraud.
Not only Shangguan Rui, but also Duanmusen looked at Zhou Baopu in shock, and then said in shock: "I didn't expect that you could do this. I really didn't expect it. This poem, although it is It was an impromptu work, but it gives people a sense of going back and forth."
Zhou Baopu felt a little embarrassed when he heard the two people's comments. This was just what he felt at the moment.
Through this poem, what Zhou Baopu wants to express is that as long as there is fate, no matter where or when, meeting each other is inevitable. It's just that he took advantage of some musical aspects and that's why he was so highly regarded by Shangguan Rui and Duanmusen.
When the three people talked to each other like this, their hands did not let go, as if they were stuck together, and no one wanted to separate. It also seemed that they were surprised by Zhou Baopu's improvisation and forgot about their three hands. It seems like they are still holding each other tightly.
Zhou Baopu was the first to take out his hand, and then Duanmusen and Shangguan Rui also responded, laughing and letting go of their hands.
Talking and laughing, they came to the real assessment place. Looking at the challenge that was about to be completed, even Zhou Baopu, who had already mastered the monkey walking world, couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
