sunken square

There is nothing behind it.

A little brother came out from the door of a nearby shop, saw Chen Yuechi looking for something, and whistled at him.

Chen Yue bowed his head and strode away from the back street.

Back in the center of the sunken square, he didn't know where to go for a moment.Unknowingly, I arrived at the entrance of the convenience store, and it took less than an hour to go back and forth.

The store was brightly lit, and Chen Yuechi stood aimlessly outside for a while, then turned around and saw the bookstore that he had speculated about for a long time.

It was all black.nobody.

There is a sense of wandering.

Then he remembered that he hadn't eaten and went back to the cake shop.

Only my younger sister was in the store, and Chen Yuechi asked, "Aren't you going to class tonight?"

"Escaped." The answer was straightforward.

Chen Yue held a serious look: "Why?"

The younger sister was a little surprised by his reaction, and she glanced at him: "Why is there no reason? If you don't want to go, you won't go."

Chen Yuechi realized that his tone was too serious and his heart had crossed the line, so he remained silent.

After a few minutes, my sister cheered up and chatted with him: "Brother Yue, do you know that there are many nightclubs nearby?" She seemed a little absent-minded, but at the same time she was eager to grab someone to talk to.

Chen Yue nodded.He laughed and said, "Did you just know? Those shops are not far away."

"I mean that nightclub," the younger sister stared at him closely, "you know about it, right? You guys are so good at pretending!"

"I just found out, who has nothing to ask about this." She held her chin, "I have a classmate in elementary school who heard that here... do that, and some classmates told me that they saw her, and there was a luxury car coming. Pick her up from the ballroom where she works."

"En." Chen Yue agreed.He took one of the bread that he was going to deal with tonight, only to find that it was the kind that Guan Rongchang bought.

"Where did you say she was going after being picked up?" the younger sister continued to ask.

Chen Yuechi thought for a while and put the bread back: "I don't know."

"Are you saying that she was forced to do this? Or is it her own vanity? Or was she deceived?"

"Why are you so interested in this?"

After not hearing an answer for a long time, Chen Yue tilted his head to look, panicked at the sight, and hurriedly pulled a few tissues and handed them over.The younger sister took the paper and covered her face indiscriminately, mumbled "Go to the toilet", and hurried into the lounge.

Chen Yuechi was stunned for a while, then picked up the bread that had just been put back.

He didn't know who it was who took Guan Rong away, but he shouldn't be able to understand who it was.Chen Yuechi suddenly thought, are he and Guan Rong considered friends?Definitely not friends.So not knowing these things is normal.

I don't have such shallow friends.

The cake shop closed at eight o'clock, and Chen Yuechi stayed in the shop until eight o'clock.After packing up and disposing of his things, he was a little worried that his sister would go back to school by herself, but her sister waved her hands carelessly: "What are you afraid of!"

It doesn't look like he's had an emotional breakdown just now.

Chen Yuechi suddenly felt that people who can live in the sunken square have a kind of ability. He couldn't describe it at the moment, but he could feel it.

A few steps out of the store it started to rain again.It hadn't been sunny in the past two days, and my sister didn't know why, but she didn't bring an umbrella in her bag.

Chen Yuechi gave her his long-handled umbrella and sent her to the bus stop outside the sunken square.It takes a detour to go back to the rental house at that location, but it will be very fast to walk through the middle of the square.Holding Guan Rong's dark blue umbrella, Chen Yue walked to the end of the back street.

This time he looked carefully at the bar.

The depth of the store is very long, standing at the door is like facing a tunnel.There were lights hanging there, but it gave Chen Yuechi the impression that it was a dark hole.

He not only observed the bar where Guan Rong came out just now, but also looked at the shop along the way, and the people (mostly girls, but also a man) who saw the shop soliciting business came to ask a few times.Chen Yuechi remained silent, shaking his head when asked.He heard a sister say behind his back that he was shy, and he would not be shy after saying it once, so he didn't look back.

In the middle of the walk, he met the sixth person who came up tonight to ask questions. He didn't know why, and suddenly asked: "Have you ever heard of a person named Zhou Dian?"

The other party asked: "Male?"

"Female." At this point, Chen Yuechi already wanted to leave, but he was the one who asked the question, and the other party didn't finish speaking, so he couldn't leave directly.

"Good old friend? Which one is it from?" The tone was frivolous.

Chen Yuechi realized that he had nothing to ask, and shook his head: "Thank you. Goodbye."

After walking a few steps, someone came up again.Chen Yue looked down at the road, guessing which brick would splash water when he stepped on it.He didn't look up, just moved to the side, but the man also moved, standing right in front of him.

Looking up, it was an acquaintance, the girl named Qingqing.

In this kind of place, Chen Yuechi couldn't say the word "what a coincidence".Qingqing looks more lively than the previous few days, and her state is also very natural.She teased him: "Why do you come here too? My brother has learned badly from others."

Chen Yuechi forced a smile, as if he was responding to her joke: "I went to the bus station just now, and come closer from here when I go home."

While Qingqing didn't say much, he hurriedly said to himself: "I'm leaving first!"

Unexpectedly, Qingqing followed.Chen Yuechi remembered what her companion told him, although he was not so narcissistic that Qingqing fell in love with him, but he couldn't pretend he hadn't heard of it.Just not knowing how to get out, she heard Qingqing say, "I saw it just now."

Chen Yue held his feet.Qingqing stopped laughing, and looked at him rather seriously: "You can't ask questions like this, and no one who works here uses his real name."

"Didn't you notice?" she asked.

Chen Yuechi was taken aback, and said yes, he didn't react to such a simple fact.

He didn't realize that his expression was asking for help, but Qingqing seemed to see clearly under the blurred lights at night, and gave him an idea: "If you really want to find someone but don't know where the store is, you can ask People on this street."

Chen Yuechi asked: "People on this street?"

"Hmm," Qingqing suddenly understood what he was asking, "I've only been on this street for half a year, so I can't be counted as a person here. To be called a person on this street, at least it's not like us. It's from a foreign country. Like the mother in the Jiangnan nightclub. But I can't get on the line, and they don't care about us at all."

Chen Yuezhi thought of Guan Rong saying something similar.

What an inappropriate memory.

"Or you can ask Brother Guan, he might know." Qingqing concluded.

Chen Yuechi asked, "Brother Guan?"

"Yes, Brother Guan, do you still remember?" She was a little embarrassed, "It was last time..."

Chen Yuechi nodded in a timely manner: "I remember."

Probably because she didn't need to mention the embarrassing situation at that time, Qingqing said with a sigh of relief: "Yes. He is very familiar with the sunken square and knows a lot of people, maybe he will know."

"I know a lot of people." Chen Yuechi repeated meaninglessly.

Qingqing smiled: "It's hard to tell. He doesn't usually deal with people very much, but it's strange. Many people on the street try to sell him. But I don't have his phone number. Next time I will help you find out."

She obviously still had business to do, after saying these few words, she raised her hand to look at her watch, and said goodbye to Chen Yue hastily.

Chen Yuechi originally wanted her to help keep it secret, but he didn't want people to know that he was looking for Zhou Dian.As a result, I couldn't say anything.He then remembered that this was a strange place, and there were only a few people he knew, and in the sunken square, everyone didn't care about others, and there seemed to be no need to keep it secret.

The rare free nights are consumed like this, but the bedtime is still earlier than usual.

Biological clocks get messed up.Chen Yuechi was not used to sleeping for a long time. He woke up in the early morning and spent some time running to the top of the nearby park.

But this time he didn't meet Guan Rong.

He originally thought that Guan Rong would contact him again, after all, he didn't enter the bar that day, but for three days in a row, Guan Rong never called or texted, nor did he show up at the cake shop.

Chen Yuechi realized belatedly that although he hadn't helped yet, it didn't mean that the matter hadn't been dealt with.After figuring this out, he no longer paid attention to Nokia's movements, and felt like letting go of a stone in his heart.

But he also vaguely noticed that he did not let go of his speculation about Guan Rong.

Very rude, but always speculating.Probably because Guan Rong is "from this street".
