Excessive

The next day, Lu Zhenqing packed up his things early in the morning. In fact, he packed up, but it was just a few clothes.

Before Mu Mu woke up, Lu Zhenqing kissed her chubby little hand, and the little guy turned over unhappily in his dream.

Although Lu Zhenqing wanted to kiss Shuyao more than Mu Mu, but looking at the latter, he still gave up.

At this time, it was just dawn, and it was at least a four-hour drive from the nearest airport, and after arriving, Lu Zhenqing had to go through a lot of formalities, plus more than ten hours on the plane, even though he set off early , but it will be the next morning in S City.

"I'm leaving." The two people downstairs said goodbye.

Du Shuyao nodded, but said nothing else.

Lu Zhenqing endured for a long time and finally couldn't hold back, went to hug him, and buried his head in his neck.

Du Shuyao didn't push him away this time, it was the last time anyway.

"Take care of yourself, and the little guy." Lu Zhenqing exhorted worriedly, how thin has Shuyao become?

Du Shuyao saw Lu Zhenqing in the car window waving at himself, and then the car got farther and farther away, and finally disappeared around the corner.

He probably won't come back again.

Otherwise, why did you hug so tightly just now?

"Huh? Where's Uncle Lu?" Du Shuyao dressed Mu Mu. Only then did the little guy realize that there was one person missing. Usually that bad uncle was always in front of him. Why didn't he disappear today?

"Let's go." Du Shuyao replied truthfully. It has been an hour since Lu Zhenqing left.

"Where did you go?" Xiao Mumu thought to herself, although that uncle looks bad and always likes to bully her, but he will also buy her sweets and take her out to play... let's go Alright, who will secretly buy delicious food for himself in the future...

"Did Mu Mu make him angry?" The little guy couldn't figure out why he lost an uncle after sleeping, and Ethan, who used to play with her, disappeared, and she and Shuyao were left alone. Will Shuyao disappear after a while?

The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, and huge teardrops fell down.

"No." Du Shuyao rubbed her soft hair, and was amused by the little guy's imagination. The little guy is really suitable to be a screenwriter, and he doesn't know what he has in such a small head.

"Where did Uncle Lu go?" She still couldn't speak clearly, and always pronounced Lu's voice into anger.

"He... has something to do."

"Will you come back?" the little guy asked.

"Maybe."

"What is maybe?" Mu Mu looked confused, why couldn't she always understand what the adults said.

"..."

This is a question that cannot be explained to her.

After a while, Du Shuyao was smearing jam and preparing breakfast for the two of them, when he saw Mu Mu Tengdeng running over and hugging his thigh, holding his mobile phone in his hand.

Du Shuyao thought that someone was calling him. In the past, as long as his cell phone rang, the little guy would be very happy and dangled the cell phone around. He even scrapped one cell phone because of this.

However, Du Shuyao took a look, and there was obviously no phone call.

"Hit." Mu Mu pointed to the phone in Du Shuyao's hand.

"What?" Du Shuyao looked blank.

"Uncle Lu."

Du Shuyao looked through the records, but didn't see the record of Lu Zhenqing's phone call, so he realized that Mu Mu wanted to call Lu Zhenqing.

Lu Zhenqing was driving now, thinking that it was not convenient to answer his call, so he shook his head at Mumu, expressing that he could not.

As soon as the little guy saw Du Shuyao's refusal, he cried with a "wow". A burst of distress.

"Look for Uncle Lu!" Crying didn't count, the little guy snotted and burst into tears, rubbing Du Shuyao's pants all over.

Du Shuyao was extremely helpless, he really wanted to know what happened when he went to work these days.

"Looking for Uncle Lu..." Mu Mu pouted her lips and looked at Du Shuyao blinking, as if tears would come down in the next second.

There is no way, Du Shuyao can only choose to compromise with her, otherwise he will be unable to leave after going to work by himself.

"Have breakfast first."

"it is good."

Du Shuyao drove away the haze on the little guy's face with a single sentence, which made Du Shuyao couldn't help suspecting that he was deceived by this little thing again.

As soon as he brought the breakfast to the table, Mu Mu gulped down the milk by herself, and licked the remnant at the corner of her mouth with her small tongue.

Then he couldn't wait to eat the bread that Du Shuyao had already broken into small pieces for her, and he didn't forget to pat Du Shuyao's stomach after eating.

Du Shuyao wanted to divert her attention by eating breakfast, but she didn't expect her to eat so fast today.

"Call." Mu Mu made a gesture to make a phone call, which was taught by Shuyao.

Du Shuyao couldn't refuse the little guy anymore, so he had to dial Lu Zhenqing's number. He thought he would never dial this number he knew so well.

He turned on the speakerphone and put it between himself and Mumu. When making a call, the phone emits a lot of radiation, so he couldn't get too close to the child.

After two rings, the person on the other end answered the phone.

"Shuyao?" Lu Zhenqing's voice was tinged with surprise, just now he thought he had read the wrong name because the name hadn't appeared on his phone screen for a long time.

"Uncle Lu!" The little guy was very excited when he heard Lu Zhenqing's voice.

"Mu Mu."

Hearing Mu Mu's voice, he had to admit that Lu Zhenqing's tone was a little bit disappointed. He smiled wryly, and he really thought too much

But these emotional little guys can't hear it, she is only concerned about excitement now.Seeing her bluffing, Du Shuyao also smiled wryly.

"Uncle, come back..." Mu Mu told the person on the other end of the phone that if Lu Zhenqing didn't come, she wouldn't be able to eat snacks, and before Lu Zhenqing left, he didn't tell himself where he hid the candy.

"Hey, I'll be back in a few days."

Mu Mu nodded obediently, forgetting that Lu Zhenqing couldn't see at all.

"You have to listen to Shuyao, you know?" Lu Zhenqing told her, although in his opinion, the little guy has always been obedient, and when there is trouble, two pieces of candy can settle it.

"Well, Mu Mu is obedient."

"Is Shuyao at your side?"

Mu Mu looked up at Du Shuyao who was eating breakfast, "En!"

"I'm here, what's the matter?" Du Shuyao frowned, and slowed down chewing the bread.

In fact, Lu Zhenqing is fine, he just wants to hear Shuyao's voice.

"Nothing. Just want to hear you talk."

"It's okay to hang up. It's Mumu who woke up and didn't see you, so she wanted to call you." Du Shuyao was afraid that he might misunderstand, so he explained.

Lu Zhenqing laughed, "I know."

Du Shuyao looked up and saw that it was getting late, and was almost delayed by Mu Mu's disturbance.

"I should go to work."

"Go ahead and take care of yourself..."

squeak--

Before Lu Zhenqing finished speaking, there was a harsh sound of brakes coming from the other end of the phone, and there was a moment of silence, followed by a mess of sounds, the sound of a car crash, the sound of sirens on the car, the sound of screaming from the crowd, and There were some voices that Du Shuyao couldn't describe.

"?"

The phone is still connected and has not been hung up, but there is no sound from the other end.

Du Shuyao's heart trembled.

"Lu Zhenqing?!" He tried to call the other party's name, but after waiting for a few seconds, no one answered.

Mu Mu stared wide-eyed and waited for Lu Zhenqing on the other end of the phone to speak, but there was a burst of noisy voices.

Du Shuyao turned off the hands-free, put the phone to his ear, and even he didn't notice that his hands were almost trembling.He was full of remorse, how could he call Lu Zhenqing while he was driving!

Every second was as long as a century, and the sound of the clock ticking hit his heart heavily.He didn't dare to hang up the phone, but the various voices from the other end annoyed him even more.

Just when he was about to give up, he heard the familiar voice on the phone.

Lu Zhenqing did experience a heart-stirring just now. The car in front of him slammed into a car running a red light without warning. The incident happened suddenly. Lu Zhenqing didn't step on the brakes in time. Fortunately, he hit the car immediately. Turn right, avoiding another accident.

However, his mobile phone and bluetooth headset fell under the seat, and it took Lu Zhenqing a long time to get them.

"Shuyao, are you still listening?" Seeing that the call was still on, Lu Zhenqing wondered if the person on the other end was still listening.

This time it was Du Shuyao's turn to be silent. Lu Zhenqing thought the phone was broken, so he tapped the microphone, "Shuyao, can you hear me?"

"En." A tiny voice reached Lu Zhenqing's ears, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, there was a car accident ahead." Lu Zhenqing explained, was Shuyao worried about him?

The other end was silent for a while before speaking, making Lu Zhenqing think it was him who hung up the phone.

"It's fine...I hung up and went to work."

""it is good. "

Du Shuyao pressed the button to end the call, sat down again, and put the phone on the table. The unfinished breakfast on the plate had already cooled down.

Mu Mu looked curiously at Shuyao who lost his mind after making the phone call, and asked in puzzlement, "Shuyao, what's wrong?"

Du Shuyao touched the warm liquid that slid down his face, he was really frightened just now.

"Don't be sad, Shuyao, Mumu is obedient." Xiao Mumu comforted Du Shuyao like an adult, and wiped the tears on his face with her little finger, and snuggled into his arms.

Du Shuyao patted her on the back lightly, what's wrong with him.

"how much is the total?"

"Eh..." Du Shuyao hurriedly calculated, "A total of 25 dollars."

Du Shuyao heaved a sigh of relief after receiving the customer's money. He was always distracted today and was out of shape. He even forgot to ask for the customer's change just now. If he thinks this way, he will not be far from being fired.

"Du, are you okay?" The part-time girl also saw his restlessness and looked at him worriedly.

"Fortunately."

"Really, do you want to go back and rest?" The girl was still a little worried, after all, in her opinion, Du Shuyao has always been a serious person, why is he always making mistakes today?

"It's fine, thank you."

Du Shuyao thanked her for her kindness. There were very few people in the store now. He took out his mobile phone, but there was no call on it. The time showed [-]:[-] pm. At this time, Lu Zhenqing probably had just boarded the plane.

He couldn't help thinking of the car accident that he almost caused himself that morning, and he felt guilty again.

Due to his absent-mindedness, time seemed to pass extremely fast. Du Shuyao didn't realize it was time to get off work until the part-time girl said goodbye to him.

As usual, he packed the two pieces of bread that were not sold out today into bags, turned off the lights, locked the doors and windows, and went to the platform to take the train.

It seems to be because of the cold weather. There are no people on the road in the dark recently. Instead, the lights are on in every house. Compared with work, people here may know how to enjoy life better.

I don't know if that little guy Mumu is obedient today?

Du Shuyao thought about it, and quickened his pace.

The platform was some distance away from the shop where he worked. Du Shuyao forgot to wear a scarf today. At this time, the cold wind kept blowing into his neck, so he pulled up the zipper of his clothes a little more.

Just as he reached the entrance of an alley, his eyes suddenly went dark, something covered his eyes, and he was suddenly dragged into a dark alley.Du Shuyao realized that maybe he was so unlucky today that he would be robbed.

Then he felt that the man removed the hand covering his eyes, even so, in the current environment, he was not bold enough to look back at the gangster's face.

"Everything of value is in the bag."

Although he said so, what Du Shuyao is thinking now is that he must find a way to divert the gangster's attention, and then find a chance to escape. This is not far from the platform, and there are always a few people waiting there. Or a little further ahead, he remembered that there was a police box less than 1000 meters away.

Hearing his words, the man snatched his bag, but still strangled him tightly.

Seeing that his method of diverting the other party's attention would not work, Du Shuyao had no choice but to make another plan.

Just as he was thinking about how to get out, a strong light hit his face, which made Du Shuyao unable to open his eyes. When the light dimmed, he felt that the person was dragging him further into the alley. Yao smelled a dangerous breath, but the man was so strong that Du Shuyao couldn't break free with one hand.

It was only then that Du Shuyao noticed that this man smelled of alcohol, and he reckoned that he was not a robber this time.

He kicked the man hard and ran towards the entrance of the alley, but he was pulled back after a few steps. He didn't know that something from the other party hit him on the head, and a stabbing pain came from the back of his head , Du Shuyao stretched out his hand and touched it. It felt wet, maybe it was blood.

The man started beating him, and Du Shuyao didn't have time to think about whether it was blood or something. He covered his head to protect himself while trying to break free from this man.The phone fell on the ground just now, but it didn't break, and the screen was still on. If he moved fast enough, he could call the police, but why did he feel dizzy.

Du Shuyao hit the man's stomach hard with his elbow.

Obviously his actions angered the other party, and that person pulled him even harder. Du Shuyao's call for help was useless in the depths of this alley where there was no one there.

Suddenly, this scene gradually overlapped with the one from a long, long time ago. It was also in one night, and I was trapped by a strange and drunk person, and no one around him paid attention to his cries for help. The panic and helplessness at that time It came to his mind again, even worse than the last time, but this time, no one would come to save him.

Du Shuyao hated this feeling so much, tears slowly blurred his eyes, he was very scared.

His head was groggy, and the smell of alcohol on this man reminded him of that night again.

And the person who saved him at that time will never appear again.

While Du Shuyao was fighting the drunk, there was a rush of footsteps in the darkness.Du Shuyao paused, he could only place all his hopes on this passerby.

"Ah!" As soon as he yelled for help, a beer bottle hit Du Shuyao's head. He blocked it with his hand, but part of the bottle still fell on his head, and then broke into two halves.

He saw the two figures wrestling together, and the winner was quickly decided. Fortunately, this passerby won.

"Thank you."

Blood was slowly flowing down his forehead, and he seemed to be hallucinating again.

Why does this figure in front of me feel so familiar?

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm..."

Lu Zhenqing held the person in front of him in his arms, regretting that he came too late and hurt Shuyao.

Seeing the tears on Du Shuyao's face, Lu Zhenqing knew that he was frightened. The law and order here has always been bad, and he did not expect such a thing to happen to them.

But the person in front of him has not made a sound, which makes Lu Zhenqing worried. Du Shuyao has a history of depression. He heard that people with depression are prone to relapse when they are stimulated or surprised, and they close themselves up again.

"Don't be afraid, it's me..."

Lu Zhenqing stroked his back lightly, trying to calm him down.

Du Shuyao thought he was hallucinating again just now, and he was extremely afraid of that feeling. Thousands of people were always blaming him in his ears, but the happiness he thought turned into bubbles in the next second. Can't grasp it, everything seems to be true, but in fact it's all nothingness, only those rumors are echoing in his ears all the time...

Now that he truly felt the powerful heartbeat in this person's chest, he dared to believe that the person in front of him was really Lu Zhenqing.

But didn't he leave long ago?

Maybe it was because of extreme fear, maybe it was caused by emotions, Du Shuyao didn't push him away like before, but lay on his shoulder and wept silently, Lu Zhenqing could feel his tears falling on his skin, it was warm of.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid... I'm here."

Lu Zhenqing whispered in Du Shuyao's ear to calm his emotions.

He is now extremely grateful that he made the right choice.

Speaking of which, it is also due to Du Shuyao.

In fact, Lu Zhenqing was not completely fine in the "car accident" in the morning. His car crashed into a side guardrail, but he was not injured.After finding a tow truck to tow the car away and being investigated by the traffic police, it was already noon, and he would not be able to catch the plane no matter what.

But what really made him decide to come back was the call.

Although Du Shuyao was as indifferent as usual, and deliberately hung up the phone under the pretext of going to work, Lu Zhenqing still heard his worry, and he could not be mistaken.

He could feel Du Shuyao's feelings for him.

He won't let go anymore, who knows if Du Shuyao will disappear again after he left, and start again in a place where no one can find him like that time.

So Lu Zhenqing took the train back here again, but he had to wait for several hours for the only train, and the speed of the train could not be compared with that of a self-driving car. By the time he got off the train, the sun was already setting.

By the time Du Shuyao went to work, the shop was already empty.

Along the way he usually took to get off work, Lu Zhenqing walked all the way to the entrance of this alley. He just casually glanced inside, but saw Du Shuyao's backpack thrown beside the trash can, which made his heart tighten.

After calling Du Shuyao's phone, no one answered, and his inexplicable panic caused him to be in a mess. Lu Zhenqing didn't care about the danger, so he followed his intuition and came here directly.

Then the scene just happened.

Thankfully, he's back.
