scar

Zhang Yucheng thought for a while, picked up his phone, opened it, entered the school forum, clicked on one of the top three popular posts on the gossip edition, found a bust photo of Ni Lu, opened it to enlarge it, and showed it to the old lady.

"Grandma, is this the person you're talking about?"

The old lady identified it carefully, pointed at the photo and nodded happily, "That's right, it's this young man! There is no scar on the corner of his eye in this photo, and he looks younger, but my old lady can still recognize him."

She handed the small bouquet of jasmine to Zhang Yucheng, "Young man, since you know each other well, I'll ask you to send the flowers to him, old lady."

Seeing the photo of Ni Lu in Zhang Yucheng's cell phone, the old lady decided that they knew each other.

Zhang Yucheng hesitated for a moment, looked at the expectant eyes of the old woman, and finally took back the mobile phone and took the palm-sized jasmine bouquet from the old woman's hand, "Okay."

Seeing him accepting the small bouquet, the old lady thought of something, and said: "When you came, this young man hadn't left for a long time. He should be nearby. Call him and ask, maybe you can meet him."

Zhang Yucheng agreed and said he would contact him.

Back in the car, Zhang Yucheng took a look at the jasmine bouquet he placed on the passenger seat, tapped the steering wheel a few times, opened WeChat, entered the address book, found Ni Lu's number, and sent him a message.

Now Ni Lu has found a suitable place to set up a street stall, selling small jewelry, mobile phone cases and chains, and putting film on mobile phones as before.

The goods have been put out, and Ni Lu is digging through the bag to get a pen and paper. As before, he intends to write a few words to let people know that he can put film on the mobile phone here.

Ni Lu used to work in a mobile phone store, and he learned the art of putting film on mobile phones. His skills are not bad, and all the customers who have approached him to put film on these days returned with satisfaction.

Just as he was taking out the pencil case from his backpack, the phone in the bag vibrated and the screen lit up.

During this period of time, no one would take the initiative to contact him. He thought it was advertising spam just like before. Ni Lu picked up the phone and was about to press it, but saw a name on the cracked phone screen, and the message behind it. three words.

Chairman Zhang: Where are you?

Ni Lu immediately thought that the loss of Zhang Yucheng's car whose paint was damaged by him had been settled, so he took the initiative to contact him.So I clicked in and sent him a voice message: Is it the cost of touch-up paint?How much do I have to pay?Transfer or cash?

Seeing Ni Luhui's voice, Zhang Yucheng raised his eyebrows, remembering the scene of Ni Lu holding a completely disposable mobile phone downstairs in the student union that day and struggling to type a word, which caused his eyebrows to frown slightly, the corners of his mouth unconsciously frowned. I took a sip.

Zhang Yucheng didn't touch up the paint, mainly because he was too busy, not to mention that the peeled paint was only the size of a fingernail, and he couldn't see it at a glance, and it didn't affect the normal use of the car, so Zhang Yucheng planned to be busy for a while. Besides.Since Ni Lu said that he would lose money, he would definitely make up for it.

Zhang Yucheng didn't answer his question, but asked again: Are you near Dongmen Street, give me your location, and I'll find you.

Seeing his reply, Ni Lu wondered for a moment how Zhang Yucheng knew he was near Dongmen Street, but he didn't think much about it. He only thought that he needed to talk to him face-to-face because he was concerned about car repairs. It was clear, and there was no way to enter text, so he simply sent Zhang Yucheng his location.

Zhang Yucheng received the news and opened the map to see Ni Lu's location. He was really close to him, and it took only seven or eight minutes to walk there.

Taking the car keys and mobile phone, Zhang Yucheng got out of the car again after picking up the jasmine bouquet on the passenger seat.

According to the positioning instructions on the map, Zhang Yucheng came to the exit of the nearby subway station.

There are several lively and bustling commercial streets nearby, and the flow of people is relatively dense, so the subway on this line was shut down relatively late, at 23:30 in the morning.Therefore, even though it is almost eleven o'clock now, there are still many people coming in and out at the exit of the subway station, and several small vendors set up stalls on both sides to sell various commodities.

Zhang Yucheng didn't see Ni Lu, his eyes turned cold after looking around for a couple of times, he suspected that he was being tricked by the other party.

Zhang Yucheng picked up his phone and sent Ni Lu a message: I'm here, where are you?

Message confirmation sent.

Just in front of Zhang Yucheng obliquely, a peddler standing in front of his small stall, holding a piece of cardboard and burying his head in writing and drawing, stopped writing, leaned on the backpack at his feet, took out his mobile phone, opened it, and took a look. Suddenly raising his head, he saw Zhang Yucheng who was always the focus of people's attention no matter where he was.

The peddler put down the cardboard, stood up, and shouted from behind his stall: "Chairman Zhang."

Zhang Yucheng heard the voice and looked over, and what he saw was this peddler wearing a white cloth mask.The peddler looked up at him. On the upper half of his face exposed by the mask, on the left brow bone, there was a particularly obvious scar that cut off the tip of the eyebrow and the corner of the eye.

Zhang Yucheng stood where he was and did not pass.

Ni Lu thought he didn't recognize him, hooked his fingers around the edge of the mask and pulled it down to reveal a complete face, then said, "It's me."

Zhang Yucheng didn't know why Ni Lu appeared here, but he never thought that Ni Lu was setting up a street stall here.

So when he was looking for someone, he didn't pay attention to the hawkers who set up stalls on both sides of the exit of the subway station to sell various commodities, and that's why he never found him.

Zhang Yucheng raised his foot and walked towards Ni Road.

As he got closer, he could clearly see what Ni Lu was selling on the ground.

On the 1.2-meter-long tarpaulin, there are exquisite or cute headbands and hair accessories on one side, which look very attractive when placed together; on the other side are neatly arranged mobile phone cases, with patterns that are very popular recently.Before Ni Lu stood up, on the cardboard that he put aside, there were four words of mobile phone film written on it, three of which had already been colored, and the remaining word "film" was only half painted.

"Chairman, you are looking for me—"

Before Ni Lu could finish speaking, Zhang Yucheng raised his right hand and handed him a palm-sized jasmine bouquet.

Ni Lu's voice paused, and his gaze stayed on the small bouquet of flowers in Zhang Yucheng's hand.

Zhang Yucheng said: "The old woman who sold the flower bracelet asked me to give it to you."

Ni Lu looked at Zhang Yucheng with surprise in his eyes, "You bought it too?"

Zhang Yucheng nodded slightly, "I bought both flowers and bracelets." After a pause, he added, "Many people in the student union want it, and I bought it for them."

Ni Lu pursed his lips slightly, "Thank you." His eyes fell on this small and lovely bouquet of small white flowers with a pleasant fragrance, and he took it with both hands, and his fingertips inadvertently touched Zhang Yucheng's hand, only feeling slightly cool.

Ni Lu's thank you, I don't know whether it is to thank Zhang Yucheng for making a special trip to deliver flowers to the old lady, or to thank him for buying all the flowers of the old lady.

After the flowers were taken, Zhang Yucheng's right hand dropped to his side, and the fingertips touched by Ni Lu trembled slightly.

Zhang Yucheng took a step back, "I'm leaving."

Seeing him leaving just like that, Ni Lu hurriedly said: "The matter about the car—"

Zhang Yucheng stopped in his tracks and took a deep look at him, "I haven't had time to deal with this matter yet, I will contact you when the results come out."

Ni Lu nodded naturally: "Okay."

Zhang Yucheng stopped after walking a certain distance, turned around, and looked in the direction he came and went. As far as his eyes could see, Ni Lu had already sat down, picked up his backpack and put it on his lap, and he put the palm-sized flower bouquet in the side pocket of the backpack. At the place, a bunch of pure-color small flowers were exposed outside, Ni Lu reached out and touched the small white flowers gently, put them down, picked up the cardboard and continued to color the unfinished simple advertising board processing.

Zhang Yucheng originally planned to drive to the school after delivering the flowers, and send the bought bracelets and flowers to the students in the student union.

But when he got back into the car again and drove the car out, the black car was heading in another direction.

There are some things he needs to confirm.

Xianxin's mother, Xu Junlan, spent 30 yuan to buy the seemingly intimate group of photos of him and Xianxin when they were together. If Ni Lu really took the money, how could he be reduced to setting up a street stall?Still using such a broken phone?

Zhang Yucheng didn't think much about Ni Lu's use of such a broken mobile phone before, he just thought it was broken and he didn't have time to change it, but today, adding this incident and his desperation to the point of setting up a street stall, no matter how you think about it, something is wrong.

Zhang Yucheng parked the car outside the Chaoshikong Internet Cafe.

The last time he didn't even get out of the car, this time Zhang Yucheng got out of the car quickly and walked into the gate of the Internet cafe in time and space.

Seeing the network administrator, Zhang Yucheng just mentioned Ni Lu's name, the other party waved his hands repeatedly, and said with a look of not wanting to talk: "I really don't know this person Ni Lu, he is just an employee of the Diancheng hot pot restaurant opposite, come to our place I have delivered food a few times, but I haven't spoken to him. I don't know anything, don't ask me."

Seeing the behavior of this network administrator, it is probably because many people have come to ask about Ni Lu during this period of time.

Zhang Yucheng's eyes sank, and he asked, "He's just here to deliver food, hasn't he turned on the computer to surf the Internet with you?"

The network manager shook his head, "Not at all. He came in to deliver food to customers, and left after delivery without touching the machine. Really, I don't know where you got the news, but he only delivered food a few times. You can all find it here. If you really want to inquire, you should go to the hotpot restaurant across the street and ask, he used to work there for a while. The proprietress must know more than me.”

Zhang Yucheng walked out of the Internet cafe, stood next to the car, and looked at the conspicuous blinking LED signboard of the hot pot restaurant across the road.

Zhang Yucheng didn't go to the hot pot restaurant because it was unnecessary.

It is enough to know that Ni Lu never got on the computer at this Internet cafe.

On the way back to school, the roadside lights flew by one by one, and Zhang Yucheng, who was sitting in the car, had a dark expression.
