Morbid Addiction

That night, Chen Yuncheng did not steal anything.Maybe it was too hot, and he couldn't keep up his spirits. After lunch, he took Ning Junyan around for a while, and found a shaded place under the overpass to lie down and sleep.

At first Ning Junyan squatted down beside him, Chen Yuncheng looked up at him and asked, "Aren't you sleeping?"

Ning Junyan shook his head.

Chen Yuncheng said: "Go to sleep for a while, it's too hot."

Ning Junyan didn't mean to lie down.

Chen Yuncheng narrowed his eyes for a while and opened them again, and said to him: "Then can you sit down and let me pillow on your lap?"

Ning Junyan looked down at him.

Chen Yuncheng said: "If you don't want to, forget it."

In the end, Ning Junyan still sat down.

Chen Yuncheng rested his head on Ning Junyan's lap, and closed his eyes comfortably: "I'm asleep."

He slept through the whole afternoon, and didn't bother to wake up in the middle, only opened his eyes and took a peek at Ning Junyan.

Ning Junyan was sitting by the flower table, looking into the distance with a calm expression. If he didn't say anything, probably no one would be able to tell that he was a fool who couldn't even remember his own name.

Chen Yuncheng changed his posture, a little afraid that Ning Junyan would push him away if he was tired from sitting, so he waited nervously for a while and found that Ning Junyan didn't respond, and then went back to sleep in peace.

When the sun went down, it was finally not so hot.

Chen Yuncheng felt that there were ten yuan left in his pocket, he looked at Ning Junyan and said, "Let's go back."

Ning Junyan nodded.

Chen Yuncheng said: "It's only ten yuan, we won't have dinner when we go back."

Ning Junyan didn't speak.

Chen Yuncheng was shorter than him, so he stood on tiptoe and leaned close to his ear, whispering: "But we can use the ten yuan to buy dinner, secretly, and we must not let godfather and godmother know." After finishing speaking, he looked at Ning Jun Nobu didn't respond, and asked again: "Did you understand?"

Ning Junyan nodded this time and said, "I understand."

Chen Yuncheng went to buy two stewed pork pot helmets, and shared them with Ning Junyan.Although the pot helmet was not big, it was stuffed with half-fat stewed meat, and the oily marinade seeped down into the noodle cake, which made the two teenagers very satisfied.

On the way back, Chen Yuncheng found a public toilet and washed his face with clean water by the sink. After washing, he called Ning Junyan over, wiped his mouth and chin a few times with wet hands, and moved closer He smelled it and felt that there was no smell, so he asked Ning Junyan: "Do you still smell like stewed meat on me?"

Ning Junyan raised his hand to wipe the water on his face, Wen Yan moved to Chen Yuncheng's lips like a puppy and sniffed, then shook his head.

Chen Yuncheng wiped the water off his hands on his clothes, and said, "Then let's go."

When we got back to the yard, the godfather and godmother had already started eating dinner.The two of them came back empty-handed, so naturally they had nothing to eat.

Chen Yuncheng and Ning Junyan stood at the door of the kitchen, and godfather was sitting at the table peeling peanuts while drinking. Hearing what Chen Yuncheng said, he looked up at them.

The godmother didn't say anything.

The godfather said to Ning Junyan: "You go out first."

Ning Junyan didn't respond.

The godfather pointed at him: "It's about you, idiot!"

Chen Yuncheng reached out and pushed Ning Junyan, pushing him out of the kitchen.

Godfather then said to Chen Yuncheng: "Come over here and kneel down."

Chen Yuncheng walked over and knelt down near the dining table.

After that, no one spoke to him. The godfather ate vegetables while drinking, and the godmother started washing the pots and dishes after eating.

Waiting until the godfather finished his meal, he stepped on the stool beside him, looked at Chen Yuncheng, and said, "Chen Yuncheng, you are becoming more and more disobedient."

Chen Yuncheng buried his head and dared not speak.

The godmother cleared the dining table without raising her head and said, "When you get older, you won't be honest."

The godfather said: "Do you know that your godmother and I have adopted so many children, how come you are the only one left in the end?"

Chen Yuncheng looked at the floor silently.

The godfather continued: "Because you are different from them, we raised you as our own son, and in the future you will provide for the godfather and godmother until the end of their retirement, do you know?"

Chen Yuncheng responded in a low voice: "I know."

The godmother suddenly threw the rag in her hand on the table, "You are an orphan, if we hadn't taken you in, you would have starved to death outside! You don't know how much food you have eaten at home in these years? You were still good for the past two years. Yes, you can earn money when you go out, how can you learn how to steal and play tricks now?"

The godfather raised his hand and waved it, signaling her to stop talking, and said to himself: "Yuncheng is still good, just say a few words." Then he said to Chen Yuncheng: "Think about it. And the one outside Silly boy, it's fine if you can't teach me, I'll send him away, don't let him delay your business."

Chen Yuncheng nodded.

The godfather spread his hands towards the godmother, "Where are the biscuits you bought?"

The godmother looked at him for a while, complained, and opened the cupboard, rummaged through it to find a packet of biscuits, and put it in the palm of the godmother.

Godfather handed it to Chen Yuncheng: "Take it, I'll give it to you alone."

Chen Yuncheng took it over and said, "Thank you godfather, thank you godmother."

Godfather waved his hand, "Go out."

Chen Yuncheng stood up and walked out of the kitchen very lightly. When he reached the door, his godmother suddenly stopped him and said to him: "The weather is so hot, take a bath with cold water, don't waste your breath."

"Okay," Chen Yuncheng replied, and left the kitchen.

When he came out of the yard, he found that Ning Junyan was still squatting by the wall, not in the mood to talk, and went back to the room by himself.

Ning Junyan followed after a while.

Chen Yuncheng sat by the bed, glanced at the biscuits on the bedside table, and said, "Are you hungry, Yanyan?"

Ning Junyan shook his head.

Chen Yuncheng stood up, took the biscuit into the closet and hid it, saying: "Then eat it later."

After hiding the biscuits, he returned to the bed and sat down, lay down again after a while, stretched out his hands and grabbed the quilt to cover his face.

Ning Junyan appeared in a hurry that day and left after eating a meal, and did not contact Chen Yuncheng for several days.

But those memories of the past flooded over like a tide, even though Chen Yuncheng didn't want to think about it, he still couldn't help recalling many things at that time.

Asking Ning Junyan and Zhou Yan to have a meal together was just Chen Yuncheng's casual talk, but now he has the urge to contact the two of them for a gathering.

It had been raining since morning, and the temperature seemed to drop a few degrees.Chen Yuncheng woke up after a late sleep, opened the shutter door of the store, and saw that the street was deserted, with few pedestrians.

A tattered-looking white Jetta was parked on the side of the street. Long Zhanyu opened the door to get out of the car and walked into the shop.

Chen Yuncheng stood up, showing a warm smile: "Officer Long, are you buying cigarettes?"

Long Zhanyu didn't answer his words, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, lowered his head to fiddle with it, put it on the counter, and asked Chen Yuncheng: "Have you met these two people?"

Hearing this, Chen Yuncheng lowered his head to look, and saw a photo that looked like a remake of a surveillance video. In the photo, the faces of two tall young men were clearly captured.The two have the same features, high nose bridge, curly hair, and dark skin, unlike Han people.

"People from the X clan?" Chen Yuncheng asked subconsciously.

Long Zhanyu swiped his finger across the screen before the phone went black, and said, "Have you seen it?"

Chen Yuncheng shook his head.

Long Zhanyu put the phone back and said, "Then you help me keep an eye on it and see who is in contact with these two people."

Chen Yuncheng was startled when he heard the words, and asked Long Zhanyu: "Where should I go to watch? I don't know these two people at all. And I'm here every day to watch the shop, how can I get in touch with these people?"

Long Zhanyu took out a cigarette and bit it between his lips, he just looked at Chen Yuncheng without speaking.

Chen Yuncheng had no choice but to reach out for the lighter and lean over to light his cigarette.

Long Zhanyu seemed a little careless, "You can take a look at your former friends, maybe some of you know them."

Chen Yuncheng said softly: "Officer, don't play tricks on me. Do you already have a clue? Who are these two people? Who are they related to? Zhang Wenyong?"

Long Zhanyu didn't answer, but said: "Your brother is going to be released from prison, do you know?"

Chen Yuncheng was silent.

Long Zhanyu patted him on the shoulder, "I believe you will have connections."
