little uncle

After receiving the short 21 words from Zhou Hongyuan, Cheng Yu was stunned for a long time, until the sun went down, the bank closed, and everyone in the office had left, but he was still staring blankly at the empty space. computer desktop.He didn't dare to answer the phone and ask Zhou Hongyuan what happened, but he couldn't control his wild thoughts.

Cheng Yu returned home as if wandering, sat on the sofa at home, and waited until the night was quiet before remembering to return the news.He spoke earnestly, deleted and deleted, and wrote a full two-sided text message, telling Zhou Hongyuan to rest well and eat on time, and told him not to save money, and tell himself if it is not enough to spend.Every word and sentence is full of friendship and weighs as much as a thousand catties, but after the message was sent, it was ultimately lost to nothing.

One day, two days, one week, Cheng Yu failed to receive Zhou Hongyuan's reply.Cheng Yu picked up the phone thousands of times, wanting to dial Zhou Hongyuan's number to find out what happened, but thinking of Zhou Hongyuan's words, he held back everything.Love is countless impulses, and there are countless restraints.After finally making it to the weekend, Cheng Yu called anxiously, but all he got was a mechanical female voice, repeating "The number you dialed has been turned off, please try again later".

For a week, two weeks, half a month, Cheng Yu didn't dare to call too much, for fear that Zhou Hongyuan would be angry if he saw it, but he couldn't help worrying and thinking about it.That was the child he had poured his heart and soul into for seven years, that was the one he had devoted all his care and love to, and that was his only family member in this cold world.He never thought in his heart that Zhou Hongyuan would repay him, and he never demanded that Zhou Hongyuan get ahead. He only hoped that his nephew would be healthy, safe and happy.

One month, two months, three months, Cheng Yu was in a state of anxiety, like ants on a hot pan, every minute and every second was a torment.He gave Zhou Hongyuan countless reasons, and overturned and repeated the reasons countless times. He didn't want to be an annoying parent. The only thing he could do was to deposit sum after sum of money into Zhou Hongyuan's bank card.When Zhou Hongyuan's phone finally turned from off to delinquent, and then from arrears to suspended, when he heard the cold and cruel sentence "The number you dialed has been suspended", Cheng Yu finally couldn't hold back, he asked the line Li took a leave of absence and went to Beijing alone.

It was cold and dry in Beijing in October. Cheng Yu just stepped out of the gap at the station, but he was sweating all over his body. His shirt was wet and sticky to his back. He didn't care about it, he just wanted to hurry up , See your nephew sooner.He didn't want to delay a single minute, so he hired a taxi. He wanted to arrive early, but unexpectedly, he encountered the evening rush hour and was stuck until nine o'clock in the evening, before the taxi slowly drove to the gate of Peking University.

Cheng Yu stood on the train all afternoon, and sat for several hours straight. He was anxious and impatient, his lips were cracked, and blood was faintly oozing out. When he got off the train, even his legs were numb. trembling.

Cheng Yu has a good memory, and he found Zhou Hongyuan's dormitory building according to the direction he came with Zhou Hongyuan last year, but before going upstairs, he was stunned.He took out his mobile phone and took a look at himself with the front camera. His brows were tightly frowned and his mouth was pursed. He looked very much like a tenant farmer in old dramas. In front of roommates.He stretched out his hand and rubbed the space between his brows, then deliberately pulled out a blunt smile, then straightened his messy hair and collar, then took a deep breath, and stepped up.

Cheng Yu was young, so it didn't seem awkward to appear in the university dormitory. He followed his memory and came to the door of Zhou Hongyuan's dormitory, "Boom, boom, boom—"

An impatient voice came from inside, a little sharp and with a Wu accent, "Who is it?"

A tall boy with dyed yellow hair and exquisite facial features opened the door. Cheng Yu recognized Zhao Jing at a glance, but Zhao Jing "read thousands of sails and knew countless people", so he left Zhou Hongyuan and his "long-legged uncle" behind. When Zhao Jing saw Cheng Yu, he couldn't realize who he was for a moment, curled his lips, and slapped Cheng Yu with the usual rhetoric he used to deal with the "sweeping building" propagandists. Take the IELTS TOEFL test, don't learn to drive, don't listen to the lectures, don't blame me if you are blocked." After finishing speaking, Cheng Yu was about to close the door, but Cheng Yu grabbed the doorknob, "Student, does Zhou Hongyuan belong to this dormitory?"

Zhao Jing looked Cheng Yu up and down, the impatience on his face quickly turned into playfulness, and his voice was full of ambiguity, "Who are you Zhou Hongyuan? What's your relationship with him?"

Cheng Yu was not the first time a brat set foot in society. He saw that Zhao Jing's teasing was even malicious, but he could only bite the bullet, "I'm from Zhou Hongyuan's family, do you know where he went? ? When will you go back to the dormitory?"

Zhao Jing let out a "puchi" laugh, and looked at Cheng Yu's panic-stricken look, he was even more playful, "Are you from Zhou Hongyuan's family? No one in the family knows where he is, so where do we know?"

Cheng Yu frowned deeply a few times. He got up early to go to work today and found that Zhou Hongyuan could no longer sit still in the office after his phone was shut down. After confiscating everything, I rushed to the train station, stood on the train all afternoon and arrived in Beijing, and was stuck on the road for several hours, finally arrived at Zhou Hongyuan's dormitory, but was made things difficult by such a bum, but he couldn't say anything Well, this person is Zhou Hongyuan's classmate, he is considered a junior, not to mention he is an outsider, so there is no reason for him to treat him nicely.Cheng Yu rubbed his temples weakly, and leaned against the door, "Student, just tell me, I haven't contacted Hongyuan for three months, and I'm very worried."

Cheng Yu had been running around for a whole day, but he had long since lost his strength, and his voice was faint, falling in people's ears, with indescribable helplessness and despair.Zhao Jing didn't understand sympathy, he just found it ridiculous, "Why should I tell you? Who knows if you are a human trafficker trying to abduct him? Where do you want to abduct Zhou Hongyuan? Deep mountains and old forests? Black coal mines? Or your bed?"

Cheng Yu clenched his teeth, he was shaking with anger, not only for himself, but also for Zhou Hongyuan.Zhao Jing would treat him like this at this time, so how should he treat Zhou Hongyuan in the past year?Cheng Yu was angry and annoyed, angry at Zhao Jing's shamelessness, annoyed that Zhou Hongyuan had clearly been wronged, but he didn't tell him anything.

Cheng Yu has a gentle personality and is rarely impatient with others, so he couldn't even utter a few curse words, his lips trembled for a long time, but he couldn't utter a word.Just as Zhao Jing was about to close the door, a short, well-dressed boy from the dormitory approached, "Zhao Jing, stop causing trouble."

Zhao Jing curled his lips, rolled his eyes, and when he turned to leave, he muttered, "Who do you think you are?"

Wang Yuan loved face, but he didn't want to offend Zhao Jing, so he touched the tip of his nose, pretending that he didn't hear Zhao Jing's words, and said to Cheng Yu in a warm voice, "Hello, Zhou Hongyuan has been sent by the government to study at New York University. His All the things have been moved away, and in a few days the college will arrange someone else to sleep in his bed. We have no contact with him now, we can only rely on emails and QQ."

Wang Yuan spoke very slowly, as if deliberately leaving enough time for Cheng Yu to think about the meaning of his words, but Cheng Yu still couldn't keep up with Wang Yuan's rhythm, he could understand every word, but the combination of At the same time, he didn't understand anything, "What public school? What New York University..." Cheng Yu didn't seem to hear Wang Yuan's words clearly, and seemed to be muttering to himself. His 1.8-meter-high body quickly revealed that The more slumped state and the trembling of the limbs made Wang Yuan suspect that he would fall to the ground in the next second.There was some pity in Wang Yuan's eyes, but he subconsciously closed the door halfway, as if to see off the guests.But Cheng Yu refused to let go, grabbed the door, collected himself, and asked, "Student, what do you mean?"

Wang Yuan showed his full patience and repeated it again, "Zhou Hongyuan sent to New York University, everything has already been moved away." As he said, he was afraid that Cheng Yu would not believe him, and made a little effort towards Zhou Hongyuan's bed. Chin, "Look, the bedding and books are all gone."After a second, he added another sentence, "If you still don't believe me, go to the school's official website and check it out. There is also an announcement in the college. Anyway, you can't wait for Zhou Hongyuan with us."

Cheng Yu's waist was bent a few times, as if he was digesting this well-known secret, and he seemed to be deeply injured and unable to support him anymore.His voice was very soft, like a feather, and like a fallen leaf in late autumn, "Thank you."

The moment Cheng Yu turned around and was about to leave, another tall, thin boy with glasses and a quiet demeanor ran into the room, "Do you want Zhou Hongyuan's mailbox and ***?"

Cheng Yu turned his back to them, didn't look back, just stretched out his hand slightly, waved it, and said in a low, inaudible voice, "No need."

"Never again."
