time is late

54

The canteen at home didn't open, Lu Xingshu pursed his lips, looking at the dark room with an unexplainable loss in his heart.

He returned to his bedroom first, and Cheng Xun's things were gone.

Grandma was resting in the room with the dim, light yellow lights on, and Lu Xingshu could still hear her coughing softly.

He stood outside the house and raised his hand to knock on the door.

The door was quickly opened, and grandma hunched over, as if surprised by his return.

"Xiao Shu, why are you back?" Grandma's expression was sour, as if she had caught a cold.

"Grandma, where's Cheng Xun?" Lu Xingshu's eyes, which were always indifferent, lowered their tails aggrievedly, and his tone was so anxious that he couldn't detect it, "Why did you go to school to find him two days ago?"

After hearing what he said, grandma suddenly pursed her lips, and the slightly downward arc made her look unhappy.

"Xiao Xun has already promised me that he will separate from you. It's wrong for you to do this. Both of you are boys, how can you..."

Grandma's words exploded in my ears like a thunderbolt.

Lu Xingshu said with difficulty: "Why?"

Grandma frowned: "Why? After you separated, you will know that what you did was wrong. You will get married, marry a wife and have children..."

"I like him, and he likes me." Lu Xingshu looked at grandma, revealing all the sharp edges and corners that had been put away in the past, "Why can't we be together."

Grandma shouted sharply: "Xiao Shu!"

"You let me down so much, why do you just say nothing!"

"I can't find him." Lu Xingshu felt a sudden pain in his temple, and pressed his forehead, leaning against the wall and slowly arching his back, "...he is gone."

Grandma was also dumbfounded. She always thought that Cheng Xun was just going back to school, but now she started to get scared after hearing what Lu Xingshu said.

Could it be true what Xiao Xun said that day that he would never come back again?

"I'm going to find him..." Lu Xingshu murmured suddenly, then opened the door, turned around and walked downstairs.

Grandma chased after her, "Where did he go? He went...ah——"

The corridor was dark and narrow, and the lights were not turned on. Grandma slipped and fell to the ground in a hurry, and the sound of falling was especially crisp in the silent night.

Lu Xingshu suddenly turned his head and called out with a pale face: "Grandma—"

120 came quickly, and Lu Xingshu held his grandmother's hand in pain and despair.

Grandma fell very badly, and even suffered a stroke because of the fall, and then a series of problems, and finally half of her body was paralyzed.

A series of blows came down, and there was no time for Lu Xingshu to catch his breath.

Fortunately, enthusiastic neighbors came to help, so he had time to go back to school to deal with things.

Asking for leave, checking out, withdrawing money...

High medical expenses have become the most serious problem before us.

Xie Qiubai's father helped with the expenses during this period, and Lu Xingshu wrote down everything, and he will pay it back.

However, with his grandmother's current situation, there seemed to be only two paths left before him, one was to stay at home to take care of his grandmother, and the other was to find a reliable nursing home for the elderly, but the money needed to be spent was not a small amount.

The money saved by grandma and the money saved by himself may not be enough...

The school can apply for student loans, but the hospitalization expenses weighed on him, which made him feel powerless.

He also got news about Cheng Xun from the neighbors who came to visit him.

"Xiao Cheng, I saw him that afternoon." Grandma Sun next door said and made exaggerated gestures, "Oh, dragging our luggage and getting into an expensive luxury car, we are all thinking Did someone from his family come to look for him?"

"It's also a heartless one. Grandma Shen raised him so much for nothing? I just patted my ass in a luxury car and left. Money, I don't know how to repay him..."

Lu Xingshu closed his eyes in pain, not wanting to pay attention to those groundless speculations about Cheng Xun. He knew that Cheng Xun was not such a person, but now Cheng Xun had completely disappeared like this, and his so-called father didn't know who it was. Who is it.

All of Cheng Xun's social accounts were canceled the day after grandma's fall.

It was as if all traces of his existence had been artificially erased.

Lu Xingshu also found the stack of photos when he went home to pack his things, and he clearly realized that this matter should be written by Cheng Xun's father.

Deliberately sending photos to grandma to break the relationship between them, and then to take Cheng Xun away?

Cheng Xun also picked up the ring that Cheng Xun had left in his hometown, and carefully hid it in a glass bottle on the window sill that held colorful origami cranes.

Lu Xingshu couldn't get away to pursue it because of his grandmother, so he had no choice but to ask Xie Qiubai and Liang Ziyan.

Although they are often silly, they never lose the chain when it comes to business.

Liang Ziyan even took out the pocket money he had accumulated for a long time to support him.

Although Liang's father was rich, he had always given his son a poor education. He spent so much all at once, which already emptied his own savings.

Liang Ziyan even went to a private detective to help track it down, and he really found a few clues.

At least Liu Qiu was found...

Then Lu Xingshu received a strange package. After opening it, there was a bank card and a stack of photos inside.

They were all candid photos of Cheng Xun and a pretty girl.

In the photo, they were in class together, after school together, and there was even the influence of a girl holding Cheng Xun's arm.

There is a number written on the back of the photo, which should be the password of the bank card.

Lu Xingshu finished reading these things with a blank face.

He understood that some people hoped that he would quit and even gave back the money.

The more this happened, the more he wanted to know the ugly appearance of the person hiding behind.

He misses Cheng Xun so much.

But before they could find more detailed information, the private detective refunded the money and cut off contact.

And Lu Xingshu was also attacked by gangsters after he came out of a convenience store at night.

I don't know where this group of people came from. When they came up, it was a sap, and then they were fisted and kicked by a large number of people.

If it wasn't for the serious lack of sleep during this period of time, he would not have been easily attacked if he had exhausted his mental energy.

But the attack of this group of people was unreasonable. They did not have any grievances, at least according to the results of the police investigation.

-----

Cheng Xun looked at the video on the screen with a pale face.

...the video of Lu Xingshu being attacked by a group of gangsters.

There is also a candid picture of him and the girl who deliberately approached him spread out on the table.

He looked at Jiang Wang angrily, and questioned him: "You said you wouldn't hurt him!"

"I never said that." Jiang Wang raised his eyebrows indifferently, and hooked his hands at Liuqiu, and the caring male secretary stepped forward, and took out Cheng Xun's old-fashioned fruit machine.

Jiang Wang threw Cheng Xun's cell phone in front of him, and ordered, "Turn on yourself."

Cheng Xun took the phone with trembling hands. He thought that the phone had been lost long ago like the luggage he brought.

"That kid's number should still be in this broken phone." Jiang Wang smiled, and threw another phone to him, "Find it out and give him an international call."

Cheng Xun was holding the fruit machine with no signal, his fingers were clenched tightly, and his face was very ugly: "What do you want to do?"

"You don't want to see that kid get beaten again either." Jiang Wang smoked casually, his tone cold, "Maybe next time, I'll break his hand."

Cheng Xun bit his lip tightly.

Liuqiu also lowered his eyes to look at him, and said in a very gentle tone, "Young master, the lady Shen who took care of you is now paralyzed and hospitalized due to a stroke, and it is time for you to need money. As long as you finish this breakup phone call, you can easily That's all settled."

Tears rolled down from the eye sockets.

The little hope he had left was also worn away.

His obsession with Lu Xingshu, and Lu Xingshu's love for him, will become a knife to torture each other and a handle to be hurt.

After the call was connected, Lu Xingshu's long-lost voice appeared on the other side of the screen. Cheng Xun tried his best to hold back his crying, and spoke against his will according to the words given by Liu Qiu.

"Lu Xingshu..."

"Cheng Xun?" Hearing his voice, Lu Xingshu thought he was in a trance, but the next moment he ignored his painful wound and continued calling his name, "Cheng Xun... Ah Xun."

He wanted to ask if he was dreaming, but what Cheng Xun said dragged him back to the cold reality.

"Don't look for me again." Cheng Xun's tone was difficult and alienated, "Let's break up."

Lu Xingshu was taken aback, his chest heaved, the uneasiness and pain in his heart had already submerged his body, and his tone hadn't even returned to his senses: "What?"

"I found my father." Cheng Xun looked at the disgusting lines, suppressed all the discomfort, and said word by word, "He took me to study abroad, and I'm doing well now. I won't go back again , I won’t see you again...forget about me.”

Lu Xingshu's eyes were a little empty, and after a long silence, he laughed lowly: "Are you lying to me? I know, I know you are lying."

Cheng Xun's heart was empty, but when he saw the video playing on the screen, he had to finish talking no matter how uncomfortable he was.

He couldn't let his time bomb harm Lu Xingshu again.

"Compared to the poor life in the past, I prefer the present. I don't need anything. I have everything. I don't want to go back to being poor." Cheng Xun began to cry silently, "...take the breakup fee and get out .”

Lu Xingshu responded with a long silence.

Jiang Wang looked at him.

"Not from the same world." Cheng Xun's eyes were red, and he finished the last sentence, "...don't disturb my life anymore."

Lu Xingshu looked at the bank card, those disgusting photos, and the gossip about Cheng Xun.

What echoed in his head was Cheng Xun's words, get out.

He smiled miserably, his voice was very hoarse, and he wanted to answer, but he couldn't speak: "..."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Xun had lost all his strength and fell to the ground. The phone landed on the expensive carpet without making any sound.

The heart was in severe pain like a gaping hole.

He lost him, completely.
