hang out

Chapter 18

What Yan Zizheng said was not close at all, at least Lin Jinglei thought so.He looked at the figure in front of him who was riding a bicycle leisurely waiting for him from time to time, and he was very reluctant to leave.

The street lights were on, and they quickly entered the city center along the non-motorized lanes one after the other before reaching their destination.

Lin Jinglei's request is not high, he can just find a booth that can repair mobile phones and change the screen. Unexpectedly, Yan Zizheng took him to the brand's exclusive repair shop.The replacement screens here are all from the original factory, which is expensive.No matter how his mobile phone screen can be regarded as blackmailing Yan Zizheng, he suddenly couldn't bear it.He stopped and kept looking up at the plaque: "I said, there's no need to come here."

Yan Zizheng, who had already walked up the steps, turned around and said, "If you want to change it, you can change it to something more useful, otherwise it's better not to change it."

Lin Jinglei didn't quite understand Yan Zizheng's logic, so he shrugged and followed, since he wasn't spending money, so why bother.

The clean and bright glass counter extends from the door to the room, and the various mobile phones placed inside are simply marked with their performance and price.Lin Jinglei was naturally interested in electronic equipment, and he couldn't take his eyes off while walking, so that he didn't notice that the people in front stopped.

After Yan Zizheng stopped at the maintenance position, he was bumped by Lin Jinglei and leaned forward. He quickly put his hand on the counter to stabilize it, and then stretched out his hand: "Here is the mobile phone."

Lin Jinglei took out his mobile phone and handed it over, the master took a look and said, "Why did you fall like this?"

Yan Zizheng asked, "Is the inner screen broken?"

Seeing that the other party nodded after checking, he continued: "Then is the original model of this model in stock?"

"Need to see it."

After that, Lin Jinglei didn't listen to what Yan Zizheng said to the maintenance master. He lay on the glass cabinet and looked at the mobile phone inside.The salespersons at the counter were all chatting, probably because they saw that he couldn't buy, and he felt at ease if he didn't bother to introduce.

There was soft music playing in the store, Lin Jinglei was familiar with it, he hummed along in a low voice, and sighed when he saw that his cell phone had dropped a lot in price.The mobile phone he is using now is the junior high school graduation gift his aunt gave him back then. It was the latest model at that time, and it has only been photographed on the beach by Houlang for less than half a year now. The update of electronic products is really too fast to catch up.

When Yan Zizheng was standing there waiting for the repairman who went to check the warehouse to come back, he seemed to be lowering his head and fiddled with the phone, but in fact, he kept following the moving figure not far away from his peripheral vision.Even when the man's clothes scraped at the corner of the counter and almost tripped over, he reflexively took a step forward.

In the brightly lit mobile phone store, everything is absorbing the light, including his secret thoughts towards Lin Jinglei that he has never understood.

"It's out of stock, so I have to get it from another store."

The maintenance master's words brought back Yan Zizheng who was in a daze. After asking about the approximate time and process in detail, he took out his wallet, paid the money and collected the receipt. When he turned around and told Lin Jinglei to leave, he found that the man was flirting with a young man with an unscrupulous smile on his face. The saleswoman was chatting, so engrossed that she didn't hear him.

Yan Zizheng wanted to yell again loudly, but changed his mind and walked over to drag him away.

"Finished it so soon?" Lin Jinglei asked while looking at Yan Zizheng's hand, "Where's the phone?"

Yan Zizheng let go of his hand and took two quick steps to push open the glass door: "The screen is not in stock, I will pick it up in two days."

Lin Jinglei frowned: "Then what should I use? It's better to just change it."

Yan Zizheng stopped in his tracks: "I see that you treat everything casually."

What and what, he turned his face at what he said, Lin Jinglei didn't answer, watching Yan Zizheng go down the steps, push the bike and ride up, leaving him with an unexplainable feeling, anyway, it just makes him very unhappy.

Yan Zizheng rode the bike very fast on the way home, as if the night wind blowing on his face could wake him up.

He wanted to soberly affirm the anticipation and panic, sour and sweet emotion.

Tired from pedaling, stop and let the car move forward smoothly, close your eyes, it's all Lin Jinglei's face, with various expressions, either happy, angry, anxious, or indifferent... .

It turned out that unconsciously, he had a deep memory of the man's emotions, what went wrong, and why he had such a strange feeling towards a boy.

Irritable, resistant, tangled, at a loss, he doesn't know himself.

After more than ten minutes, he rode his bicycle to his home, and when he entered the compound, he heard the sound of objects being smashed at Ma Liangli's house. He dropped the car and ran to knock on the door.

When Ma Liangli, who was still crying, saw that it was Yan Zizheng who had returned, she grabbed his arm and cried even louder.

"What should I do, my mother is sick again."

There were three houses in this compound, but they were the only two residents. Every time Ma Liangli's mother fell ill and her father was not at home, Yan's family, old and young, could not count on her. Yan Zizheng was her only hope.

They entered the house and used the old method to temporarily tie Lu Yao to the foot of the bed one by one with a rope.

The woman's hoarse cry was ear-piercing, and Yan Zizheng asked Ma Liangli loudly, "Where is the medicine? Has she taken it?"

Ma Liangli wiped her tears: "She won't eat it, no matter what I say, she won't eat it, she spilled it all."

"She is delirious now, so she can only be fed."

Ma Liangli quickly reconstituted half a bowl of medicine and brought it over with shaking hands. After handing it to Yan Zizheng, he helped to hold her mother's head.

Yan Zizheng called Aunt Lu twice. Seeing that it was really impossible, he firmly fixed the woman's chin with his hands and opened her mouth. Most of the brown medicine juice spilled out. He didn't let go. He pinned his hopes on the calmness in the medicine The ingredients can calm Lu Yao down.

Ma Liangli sat on the ground with her mother, crying and asked: "Yan Zizheng, what should I do? Mental hospital, I don't want either."

Yan Zizheng was still holding an empty bowl, and he didn't know what to do, he half-kneeled there with a lost gaze: "Everything will be fine."

Lin Jinglei took the bus home after eating a bowl of noodles outside. The room was pitch black, and his uncle didn't come back.

Did the house suddenly become like this or he didn’t realize it all the time. After changing his shoes, he turned on the light, first poured some cat food into Maisui’s food bowl, and then went to Lin Tai’s room to press a fish tank to feed. His movements were numb. Machinery, plus the room is too quiet, his world seems to be silent.

When he was two years old, he didn't even remember anything. When he came to this house for the first time, his uncle and his aunt married for the first anniversary. He wrote his name in the household registration book, and filled in the column of relationship with the head of the household. eldest son.

Two years later, when he was four years old, Lin Tai was born, and he had a younger brother.

Many outsiders didn't know about these things, thinking that he was Principal Lin's own son.

Lin Jinglei has always complained about the unmarried mother who took him as a burden when she became pregnant, and threw him to her brother to raise him in order to remarry easily, and has always thanked fate for giving him another warm home to compensate him.

But now, the family is about to break up.

Lin Tai made him think about who he should be with.

Who can he be with, what qualifications does he have to choose, he is just an existence that is a burden to everyone.He has never really experienced what it is to have but blindly loses, probably because of his bad luck.

Lin Jinglei turned his head to look at his figure reflected in the glass window, silently sad, the only one who accompanied him was always himself.

On Monday morning, Zou Jing was standing at the door of the class. He was surprised to see You Gang walking behind Yu Zhaoyu who came up from the stairs.

You Zhaoyu made the final struggle for not wanting to be a sports student. During breakfast, he told his father irresponsibly that the school's plastic track was of poor quality and not suitable for running. After that, his father decided to donate a playground to No. [-] Middle School.

His father followed Zou Jing back to the office, and he shuffled into the classroom. This time he was a physical education student, and his father would listen to Zou Jing's advice against all odds.

Yan Zizheng raised his head and asked the person who walked in, "Why is your father here?"

You Zhaoyu walked past Yan Zizheng's seat without hearing, as if they didn't know each other.

Yan Zizheng turned his head and watched the man throw his schoolbag on the table, then he got up and walked over: "I was talking to you just now, what's the matter, you have a sad face."

You Zhaoyu didn't even raise his head, he was playing with the metal ruler with his two hands on the table, and said in a disdainful tone, "Do you care about my feelings so much?"

Yan Zizheng frowned: "What?"

You Zhaoyu stretched out his hand and pushed away the person leaning on his table: "Qikai, I don't want to talk to you right now."

"I'm stupid," Yan Zizheng scolded softly after being treated like this for no reason, and he turned back to his seat, annoyed, "I don't want to hear it yet."

The surrounding students saw this pair of well-recognized good buddies turn their faces in public, and they all looked around curiously. After several times of organization by the monitor, the morning reading discipline became normal.

After listening to Yougang expressing his desire to donate a plastic track and sports equipment, Zou Jing smiled: "Parents like you are really great, they can give so much for their children."

"Mr. Zou, you don't look like you have a family. You will understand when you have a child. As long as it is for his good, a father is willing to do anything."

"You have to talk to our principal about this matter, I can't decide."

You just got up: "Okay, you take me to the principal's office and I will talk to your principal."

The two of them then left the office and went upstairs, during which Zou Jing stopped and waited several times. This man with a beer belly was not as active as his rebellious son who spent years in various business dinners.

After finally reaching the upper floor, the door of the principal's office was locked. Zou Jing thought that Principal Lin hadn't come yet, so he decided to wait with You Gang. At this time, the vice principal Ma Yihua came out diagonally across.

Zou Jing greeted first: "Principal Ma."

"Hey, Xiao Zou, are you looking for Principal Lin?"

Zou Jing nodded: "Well, I have something to do with him."

The woman stopped: "Then don't wait so stupidly, Principal Lin has something to say at home today, so he can't come."

Zou Jing turned back to look at You Gang apologetically, and after hearing the conversation here, You Gang understood what was going on and said, "It's okay, I'll come back when I have time."

"I'm really sorry, you are so busy and you made a trip for nothing."

You Gang shook his head: "It's my fault. I didn't contact you in advance because I was so eager. If I don't have time in two days, I will send someone to come. I will trouble Mr. Zou to accompany me."

Zou Jing quickly responded: "Okay, no problem."

At [-]:[-], the four people sitting in the living room all stood up.

Lin Jinglei felt very uncomfortable watching his aunt and Lin Tai leave with their things.

This weekend, he didn't have a happy life at all. He went through the whole process of his uncle and his aunt's divorce.

Both of them were very calm, there was no quarrel, and they just signed the divorce agreement peacefully.

The two biggest properties, children and houses, Tong Yuying chose children without hesitation, she decided to take her son out of Lin Guodong's life.

Lin Jinglei didn't understand why his aunt was so stupid. A woman who had been a housewife for many years knew nothing but washing and cooking, and she took a child who was in junior high school, how would she go out to live.

He really wanted to go with his aunt, but he couldn't, he couldn't add trouble, he had enjoyed too much love from this woman who had no blood relationship with him for so many years, and before he could reciprocate, fate cruelly took back this gift up.

Lin Tai cried, and when he walked to the door with the trolley case, tears fell when he turned his head. He looked at his father and asked tremblingly, "Dad, can we not separate?"

Tong Yuying didn't look back, she dragged her son downstairs, her voice was stern: "Go, go!"

Lin Jinglei was also waiting for his uncle to repent, but he didn't, the door had been closed for a long time, and the man was still standing on the ground expressionless.

He walked towards the door and said loudly: "Both of you brothers are selfish, both of you fucking only care about yourself, have no conscience, and are cold-blooded!"

Lin Guodong's shoulders shrank from the loud slamming of the door. He covered his face with his hands and said nothing, but tears rolled down his chin.

Lin Jinglei ran downstairs and saw that the couple had already stopped a taxi at the entrance of the community. He was afraid, afraid that it would be difficult to see the two people who were important to him again in this life.

He started to run, and even though the taxi had already left, he also chased after him.

"Auntie!" he shouted, even though he didn't know what he could do, he just wanted to say goodbye.

Tong Yuying sat in the co-pilot and looked at the running boy in the reversing mirror. The tears accumulated over the past few days began to flow, and she said to the driver: "Drive faster."

Seeing that the car didn't stop but accelerated, Lin Jinglei shouted with all his strength, "Mom!"

Tong Yuying cried aloud, the farther and farther figure in sight was blurred, Lin Tai in the back seat choked up and said, "Why can't we take my brother away too."

Tong Yuying sniffed: "It would be better for him to follow your father."

Lin Jinglei stood in the middle of the road, with cars passing by non-stop, he wiped his red eyes, changed the direction and continued to run.

During the second class break, it was time to raise the flag again, but Lin Jinglei, who was in charge of raising the flag this week, did not come. The flag raisers in the room were stunned, not knowing what to do with the lack of manpower.

After Yan Zizheng changed his clothes, he decided to replace him as the flag-raiser this time.

As for why Lin Jinglei didn't come, he thought it was nothing more than those two situations, either absenteeism or skipping school.

When the teachers and students of the school gathered in the playground to participate in the flag-raising ceremony, there was a sudden commotion behind the teachers' phalanx.

Yan Zizheng stood on the high flag-raising platform, and he could clearly see the figure who was arguing with some teacher during the national anthem.

Lin Jinglei was panting because he hadn't calmed down after running all the way, so he rushed to the teacher's pile and grabbed Ming Miao's arm to pull him to the front, no matter what the male teachers around him couldn't do to stop him.

"You have the guts to admit it, don't you?" Lin Jinglei yelled at the panicked Ming Miao, "All the teachers and students in the school are here, believe it or not, let them know what kind of person you are!"

The young man's aura was very frightening, and the female teachers all backed away in fright.

Liu Zhihe came over and grabbed Lin Jinglei by the collar: "Let me go!"

Yan Zizheng didn't take his eyes off this side, so that he forgot to pull up the flag rope. After the national anthem was over, the floating red was still in the air on the flagpole, so he quickly caught up with the process.

Lin Jinglei was driven away by two physical education teachers, the chaos was temporarily brought under control, and the broadcast announced the disbandment.

Yan Zizheng jumped off the flag platform, strode to catch up with the two physical education teachers who were holding Lin Jinglei, quickly pushed one of them away, then shrugged off the other, grabbed Lin Jinglei and ran away.

Lin Jinglei was so angry that he asked the person who was pulling him away and wearing the uniform of raising the flag: "What are you doing!"

Yan Zizheng kept walking: "truancy."
