Morbid Addiction

The little girl took two loaves and left.

Ning Junyan also stood up at this time, and he said to Chen Yuncheng, "I'm leaving first."

"Are you leaving?" Chen Yuncheng politely said habitually, "Sit a little longer, I'll get you a glass of water."

Ning Junyan said to him, "No need."

Chen Yuncheng stopped insisting, he came out from the counter, sent Ning Junyan out, and watched him get into the car.

The co-pilot's window slid down, Chen Yuncheng bowed by the window and said to him, "We will get together more often in the future."

This was originally a polite remark, and Chen Yuncheng didn't care about it when he said it, but Ning Junyan asked him: "Really?"

Chen Yuncheng laughed when he heard the words, "Of course it's true. I think it's fate that we know each other."

Ning Junyan didn't speak, just looked at him.

Chen Yuncheng said: "By the way, do you still remember Zhou Yan?"

Ning Junyan lowered his eyes, seemed to think about it, and then said, "I don't remember."

Chen Yuncheng smiled and said: "It's normal if you don't remember, next time you have a chance to eat together, maybe you will remember."

Ning Junyan said, "Maybe."

Chen Yuncheng backed away from the car and waved to him: "Go slowly."

Ning Junyan drove the car forward, and soon merged into the crowded traffic.

Chen Yuncheng was still standing on the side of the road, looking at the direction his car was leaving. After a while, he turned his head and looked at the intersection on the other side. He saw that the girl who bought bread just now was still standing at the intersection.

It is winter now, although there are still many cars on the street at this time, there are quite few pedestrians. The girl stood at the intersection for a while, waited for the green light to cross the road with two or three people walking together, and then continued to move forward. Walk away and disappear from Chen Yuncheng's sight.

Only then did Chen Yuncheng turn around and go into the store, he pulled down the shutter door halfway, went back to the counter and turned on the TV that was turned off just now, and used the remote control to change channels aimlessly.His mind is not on the TV show, he always thinks of that little girl for a while, and Ning Junyan for a while.

Ning Junyan, who is ten years old, is actually not young anymore. Godfathers usually don't bring back such older children because they can't control them.

But Chen Yuncheng felt that Ning Junyan might have a brain problem, because he didn't even know his own name.

"Don't you know your name?"

At that time, both Chen Yuncheng and Ning Junyan were squatting under the trees on the side of the road, looking at the people passing by. There was a university ahead, and many students would come out of the school gate in groups at noon and afternoon, and cross the road to the opposite one. Eat at the snack street.

It was noon, when there were many people, but the sun was too hot, Chen Yuncheng hid under the tree and didn't want to move.

Ning Junyan squatted beside him silently.

Early this morning, godfather asked Chen Yuncheng to bring Ning Junyan out, and asked Chen Yuncheng to teach him how to work and make money.

"You don't make money, so I can't raise you for nothing, right?" Godfather wore a white vest, and when he had breakfast, he put one foot on the chair, took a sip of greasy noodle soup, put down the bowl, and began to scold others. , "Old rules, if you don't have income today, you won't have dinner."

Chen Yuncheng nodded, and brought Ning Junyan out when he went out.

There was no harvest all morning, they walked all the way to the vicinity of the university, the sun was too fierce near noon, Chen Yuncheng found a shade under a tree to hide.

Ning Junyan followed him and squatted down beside him.

Chen Yuncheng was lazy, he asked Ning Junyan: "Are you dumb after all? What's your name?"

After a while, Ning Junyan shook his head.

"Don't you know your name?"

Ning Junyan still shook his head.

Chen Yuncheng said, "What's the matter with you?"

Ning Junyan's short hair was messy, and it still maintained the appearance that Chen Yuncheng cut it for him with scissors.

Chen Yuncheng asked him: "Then can you speak? Would you like to learn from me? My name is Chen Yuncheng."

Ning Junyan looked at him.

Chen Yuncheng repeated: "Chen Yuncheng."

Ning Junyan suddenly opened his mouth and said vaguely: "Yanyan..."

Chen Yuncheng was stunned, he said: "What did you say?" Then he was a little happy, "So you are not dumb?"

Ning Junyan had no expression on his face, he looked forward and said, "My name is Yanyan."

"Which words?" Chen Yuncheng asked after him.

Ning Junyan shook his head.

Chen Yuncheng didn't know why, for a long time he thought Ning Junyan's name was Yanyan, but at that time Ning Junyan himself couldn't explain it clearly.

"Yan Yan?" Seen from the side, Ning Junyan's eyelashes are very long, drooping slightly, and under the upturned nose are light-colored lips. The ten-year-old boy still has some indistinguishable childishness, But Chen Yuncheng felt that he was already very good-looking.Chen Yuncheng tried to make him recall more, "Do you still remember your family?"

Ning Junyan's eyelashes fluttered, but he didn't answer the question.

Chen Yuncheng glanced at the passers-by on the street, leaned close to Ning Junyan's ear, and said in a low voice: "If you can find out how to get home, go back by yourself."

Ning Junyan turned to look at him.

Chen Yuncheng looked at him, "I won't tell godfather and godmother."

Ning Junyan said after a long time: "I don't know, I have a headache."

Chen Yuncheng let out a soft "ah", remembering the injury on Ning Junyan's head, he stood up, touched the swollen place on Ning Junyan's scalp with his fingers, and asked, "Does it hurt here?"

Ning Junyan visibly shrank his neck, but he didn't complain of pain.

Chen Yuncheng withdrew his hand, wiped the sweat from his hands on his pants, squatted back, and said, "So you are not a fool, did you hit your head?"

Ning Junyan couldn't answer this question.

Chen Yuncheng put his face in his hands and sighed, he felt that he couldn't help Ning Junyan.

After a while, Chen Yuncheng heard Ning Junyan's stomach growl, he turned his head and asked him, "Are you hungry?"

Ning Junyan did not respond.

Chen Yuncheng stood up and said to Ning Junyan: "You wait for me here." He walked towards the intersection ahead, his thin figure squeezed into the crowd waiting to cross the street.

In front of Chen Yuncheng, a girl with an umbrella put her mobile phone in her coat pocket, and he could easily take it out just by reaching out; in front of him on the right, there was a middle-aged man who seemed to have money in his pocket, and he couldn't tell whether it was money or not. What a denomination, anyway, the whole pocket is bulging.

At the moment when the red light turned green, the crowd walked forward in confusion. Chen Yuncheng didn't steal the mobile phone, but touched the middle-aged man's pocket. When he found the money, he didn't look at it carefully, stuffed it into his bag and walked towards another He took a few steps in the direction and retreated to the periphery of the crowd, then mixed with the crowd coming from the opposite side and walked back.

He sensed that someone was watching him. It should be that the people behind noticed that he had stolen the money, but no one reminded the middle-aged man.

Chen Yuncheng quickly walked back to Ning Junyan, pulled him up from the ground, and said, "Let's go."

The two of them hid by the wall far away from the intersection. Chen Yuncheng took out the money and saw that there was a handful of small change in his hand. He counted it and it was only about 20 yuan.

Chen Yuncheng said to Ning Junyan: "Let's go eat first."

Ning Junyan stared at the money in his hand, and said "hmm" as an answer.
