hang out

After Lin Jinglei reported his location, he hung up the phone. The owner of the supermarket relieved him and told him in an elder's manner not to run around and the family would be anxious. He obviously regarded him as a brat who ran away with his parents in anger.

Du Qingze came very quickly, Lin Jinglei just finished eating the bowl of noodles when he appeared at the entrance of the supermarket.Lin Jinglei didn't know this well-mannered elite man very well, but he smiled comfortably when their eyes met.

Du Qingze brought Lin Jinglei back to his residence, knowing that the child only ate a bowl of instant noodles for two meals, he thoughtfully ordered takeaway.

The house is very grand, but it is too deserted to live alone.Lin Jinglei couldn't help thinking of the blond man lying on the hospital bed, and wanted to ask if he was no longer alive, but he felt stuck in his throat, afraid that he would poke Du Qingze's sore spot when he said it.

After eating, taking a shower, and sleeping, Lin Jinglei was much more refreshed. It was 04:30 in the afternoon when he came out of the guest bedroom.He searched all the rooms and didn't see Du Qingze, so he knew that the man had returned to the company.He sat next to the sofa and touched the landline phone and continued to dial Yan Zizheng's number, but it was still turned off.

Lin Jinglei was very troubled, he wanted to surprise Yan Zizheng suddenly by appearing in front of him, but until now his efforts were wasted.

The sound of the door lock entering the password made him look away from the TV to the door.Then he stood up slowly, staring at the blond man behind Du Qingze.

Du Qingze smiled and said, "I should have told you in advance."

The blond man was also looking at Lin Jinglei, the father and son staring at each other after so long made the surrounding air freeze.Lin Jinglei was not sure about his mood, seeing that this man was still alive, he was sincerely grateful to fate, but he didn't dare to be happy, he always felt that it wasn't his thing.

"Come here alone?"

Lin Jinglei was surprised by the standard Mandarin of the blond man, he nodded dully: "Yeah."

Du Qingze saw that the two were still standing there stiffly, so he quickly smoothed things over: "Sit down, I'll get something to eat."

Lin Jinglei is not stupid, it can be seen that the surname Du deliberately wants him to get along with the blond man, just like in the ward at that time, but he was very resistant at that time, but now he can accept it calmly.

The feeling of familiarity and strangeness turns out to be like this, wanting to be close and wanting to stay away.He watched the man slowly come over and sit beside him, stammering a little: "You...your illness...healed?"

The blond man laughed, "The doctor said my recovery was a miracle."

With the movement of sitting down, Lin Jinglei nodded slowly: "It's fine."

Lin Jinglei stared blankly at the ground, and the man looked at him without hesitation: "I heard that you are here to find friends."

"Ah."

"Don't worry if you don't find it, I'll take you there after dinner."

If the father and son get along alone is the comparative degree of cramping, then the three of them at the same table for dinner is the superlative degree of cramping.From time to time, Lin Jinglei looked at the two people who only had body language on the opposite side, and felt that they were like a family of three.

Du Qingze called the blond boy Vincent, Lin Jinglei was wondering if he should be called something else, he couldn't just use "you" all the time.After realizing his concerns, the blond man gave him a thoughtful solution: "Just call me Vincent."

Vincent works as a foreign teacher at a nearby foreign language university, and he also said that he can take him around the school when he is free.Lin Jinglei had never longed for the school, even if it was such a well-known school, he nodded indiscriminately without distraction.

After the meal, Vincent really wanted to take Lin Jinglei to find Yan Zizheng's sister-in-law's house as he said, and Du Qingze followed him downstairs.The three of them ran to the vague address in Lin Jinglei's head again.

After asking about the characteristics of Lin Jinglei's villa, Du Qingze narrowed down the area and drove around the side of the villa area in the southern suburbs. Lin Jinglei, who poked his head out of the window, saw the sycamore tree with crooked neck more than half an hour later.

The phoenix trees in Yan Zizheng's aunt's yard are very distinctive, and there is a hand-woven swing hanging on it. The last time Lin Jinglei came to play with childlike innocence, the seat broke, which made Yan Ziqing cry. Yan Zizheng repaired it overnight.

Lin Jinglei rang the doorbell many times but there was no response. He had to accept the fact that there was no one at home.

Not seeing Yan Zizheng made him feel more and more uncomfortable when he went back. If the two men hadn't taken care of him so comfortably, he wouldn't have been able to find anything to be happy about.

Vincent is less his long-lost biological father than his long-lost brother.It's only been two days, and their way of getting along has become more and more casual, with no barriers of time and seniority at all.Every night after turning off the lights, he knew that the man would gently push the door and come in and sit by his bed.Sometimes I stare blankly at him without moving, and sometimes I stroke his head.

Lin Jinglei obviously did not fall asleep and did not open his eyes. He remained in a state of deep sleep without moving, but his heart was full of mixed feelings.

From the time he knew what his father was, he hoped that he could also ride on his father's neck to be naughty, and that he could also throw himself into his father's arms and act like a baby.Although Principal Lin has done all these things, no matter how good his uncle is, he is not his father after all.He thought that he would never see his father in this life, and the last time he saw him was at the sick bedside, so he was mentally prepared for his father to drive west from now on.But God was not so cruel, he gave him what he didn't give him, and took away what he gave him.Even though there are still many things that cannot be made up, he is surprisingly satisfied.

Probably because he watched too much of the steady and sweet daily interactions between Vincent and Du Qingze, Lin Jinglei had a similar dream, except that the protagonists in the dream became him and Yan Zizheng.

The next evening, he wanted to visit Aunt Yan Zizheng's house again, but Vincent told him that Lin Guofang was coming and told him not to go out.

Lin Jinglei was slightly disgusted: "What is she doing here?"

Vincent: "If you don't want to see her, then tell her not to come."

Lin Jinglei thought for a while and then turned to look at Du Qingze: "You should ask him, I don't care."

Du Qingze smiled: "This kid is really slippery."

Lin Jinglei knew that it was Principal Lin who told Lin Guofang that he was here, and when he came back from looking for Yan Zizheng yesterday and he called home to tell him where he was, Principal Lin hung up the phone without asking anything.In my impression, his uncle would be at ease if he didn't ask too many questions about his whereabouts, but it would be too much to tell Lin Guofang this time.

The guest with heavy make-up soon arrived, bringing with her the youngest daughter born to her current husband.At first glance, the rich man is a crook, otherwise it would be very difficult for the little girl to grow up like this.

The first thing the mother and daughter did after entering the door was to recognize their relatives. Lin Guofang pointed to Lin Jinglei who was eating ice cream with his legs crossed on the sofa and said to his daughter, "Mengmeng, call me brother."

Before the little girl could speak, Lin Jinglei raised her hand: "Forget it, my sister can't be this ugly."

It was Du Qingze who stopped Lin Jinglei in a low voice, and then he walked to the entrance: "You guys are chatting, I'm going out to do something."

Lin Jinglei, who suddenly regretted agreeing to let Lin Guofang come over, really wanted to ask Uncle Du if he could take him away, but he held back.

Mengmeng is not cute at all, but rather aggressive, she sat up and looked at Lin Jinglei with her chin raised, and said, "I don't want to call you brother."

Lin Jinglei's brain hurt from that mouthful of ice cream, not to mention, this arrogant and domineering energy was somewhat similar to him.

Vincent asked Lin Guofang to sit down, but none of the four survivors in the back room seemed to be panting. It was more embarrassing than embarrassing.Lin Jinglei who broke the silence looked at Lin Guofang who was sitting not far away: "Why do you have to come here?"

Lin Guofang hesitated to speak twice before making a sound: "Jing Lei, look at mom and dad are here this time, don't worry about some things."

"Why can't I think about it?" Lin Jinglei shook his legs, "I think about it very much. I am a child who was born without a mother and lacked the love of a father. I have been open since I was a child."

This sentence made men and women more silent. The three of them gathered together for the first time in more than ten years, but they seemed to overestimate the beauty that was lost.

When he was a child, Lin Jinglei also hoped that his father and mother would take him to the playground and the zoo, and do many things together that other children thought were normal.The two who disappeared once were in the same frame, and he didn't even want to lose his temper.

In the past, he always resented that they gave birth to him and didn't want him, but now he doesn't feel anything, instead he thinks it's good to be alive, to meet cool people and do things he likes, isn't it good.

He began to believe that there are so many people in the world, and he went around just to have a story with them. It was carefully selected by fate and left to him. He should cherish both the good and the bad.Lin Guofang and Vincent are destined not to be from the same world, but they are inextricably linked because of him, this is fate.

And he and Yan Zizheng also have an unusual fate.From the acquaintance to the present, every step that has been missed is not enough.

Thinking of Yan Zizheng, he couldn't sit still, he simply greeted the two adults in the room and ran out the door.

He knew that Du Qingze lied about something and left to avoid suspicion, and he saw that figure on the bench downstairs.

"Uncle Du."

Du Qingze chased away the mosquitoes and asked, "Why did you get down?"

"Take me to the villa area in the southern suburbs again."

After the high school entrance examination, Lin Tai was idle every day and didn't know what to do, so he had to buy high school textbooks in advance to study by himself.His mother came back late these two days, his father counted the time to pick him up, and his brother was away, so he was left alone. The quiet atmosphere is perfect for studying.He was surprised to hear the sound of the door, and thought it was his brother who had come back.Pushing open the door, it was Yan Zizheng.

When Yan Zizheng walked towards him, he looked in through the crack of the door: "Where's your brother?"

Old Yan's family no longer lives in the compound, and Lin Tai still misses the old and young days. Seeing Yan Zizheng's inexplicable kindness, he scratched his head: "Going away."

"what?"

This was Lin Jinglei's panic when he finally knocked on the door of the villa and was told "Zizheng has returned home".

Yan Heyu smiled at the handsome young man in front of him and said, "He left in the morning."

I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but he and Yan Zizheng are perfectly staggered, what a fuck.

Yan Zizheng, who was standing in the hall and the district compound, felt the same way.He didn't have to wait with his sister-in-law if he gave up taking the physical examination, not to mention that Lin Jinglei said on the phone that he missed him, so he had no reason not to come back quickly.

"My brother went to his father's."

Yan Zizheng remembered that Lin Jinglei's biological father was terminally ill, so it stands to reason that he is no longer alive.After hearing Lin Tai finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows: "His father?"

Lin Tai pushed his glasses and continued: "His father recovered from his illness. Last night my brother called to say that he was there."

"Can you give me the contact information?"

"I really don't know. I can ask my dad when he comes back."

Du Qingze was driving home when he received an unfamiliar number. Hearing that the boy on the phone was looking for Lin Jinglei, he handed the phone to the passenger.

Lin Jinglei heard Yan Zizheng's voice, and felt complicated for a while: "You really came home."

"Yes."

Lin Jinglei sighed: "Can't we have a tacit understanding?"

Yan Zizheng rarely teased: "This should be a tacit understanding."

"Tacit, what's the matter with your cell phone? Did you lose it too?"

Speaking of this matter, Yan Zizheng patiently explained that Yan Ziqing's little ancestor threw his mobile phone into the toilet while he was sleeping, and when he found it, it was completely scrapped inside and out.

"Your sister's trick is quite devilish."

"I got through to your cell phone."

"Anyone pick up?"

"Yes," Yan Zizheng said after a pause, "Shen Ling."

Lin Jinglei slapped his thigh fiercely: "I knew it was a fire."

"Need me to help you get it back?"

"Take it if you're on your way."

The once-familiar number could no longer be connected, but it did not bring much frustration to You Zhaoyu. He was used to calling several times a day, listening to the Chinese and English female voice repeatedly saying sorry to him.

His dad is still extremely busy all day long, and usually comes back late at night smelling of alcohol, rushing to the bathroom and holding the toilet to vomit without saying a word. Judging from this level, his dad is making money, let alone his life .

It seems that the reason for his father and his mother's quarrels started from this point as long as he can remember. Too many times he stood in front of the bathroom door that was closed to prevent him from waking him up, looking at the two quarreling figures on the frosted glass.The most frequently heard debate questions are always "how can I talk about business if I don't participate in the dinner, how can I make money to support you if I don't talk about business" and "can you stay with us at home in the dark without drinking".

When he was a child, You Zhaoyu would think about who was right and who was wrong between his father and his mother, and he would stop wasting energy on such issues when he grew up.What's the use of being right or wrong, and it can't change the current ending of the three of them.

Suddenly thinking of these things, it was definitely not his father who came home smelling of alcohol when he went downstairs just after dark, but something he cared about since he got up in the morning and looked at the calendar.

Today is his mother's birthday.

When that woman cruelly left him and chose to leave, he had secretly made up his mind to forget everything about her, but there were some things that became clearer the more he thought about them.His mother went out without leaving the house, and when she left, she only took a trolley case with her. She said that when she got married, she only brought a trolley case with her. She didn't take anything with her, not even him.

It was getting darker and darker, and the street lamps used tree shadows to draw pictures on the open and flat road, which was very abstract.You Zhaoyu was leading his second brother around the villa area, but he walked out without knowing it.He let go of the leash, staring at the sahuan figure, from walking slowly to jogging.

Exercising can't be done for a whole day, and he lost his breath after running too far, but the second brother is still not satisfied, so he can only go to the side of the road to get a shared bicycle and walk the dog.

The night wind was blowing, people and dogs interacted, and got lost unknowingly.Taking out his phone to check the location, Yu Zhaoyu realized that the fucking shopping mall was about one kilometer away from his previous location.

You Zhaoyu pinched the brakes and stuck his long legs on the ground for a long time, then continued to move forward, comforting himself and saying, just take a look, it's nothing.

It was a long kilometer, he struggled with conflicts, and finally stopped by the side of the road in front of that shopping mall.I planned to make a quick decision, go in and come out immediately, and if my mother sees it, I will pretend to be shopping and pass by.When he wanted to tie his second brother to a tree by the side of the road, the stupid dog broke free from his hand and ran away with the leash.

"Damn." You Zhaoyu cursed in a low voice, then ran after him.

There were a lot of people out for a walk after dinner, and even though he turned left and right to avoid obstacles, he still couldn't lock the figure of the second brother with his sight.At that time, he installed the positioning in the collar because he was afraid that the silly dog ​​would get lost. He locked the little red dot on the screen of the phone that was still moving slowly and then walked forward quickly.

When he was walking on the road after shopping for groceries, he was hit by an unidentified fluffy object that hit his leg. Zou Jing was in a hurry, and the bag in his hand fell to the ground.
