hang out

Chapter 48

After Yan Zizheng got off the taxi on the opposite side of Zero Degree, he saw Lin Jinglei sitting on the chair teasing the ears of wheat standing on the table through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

He didn't go to the melee combat class tonight, and it was all because of Lin Jinglei that he started over from the beginning, what was he going to do if this kid disappeared and didn't show up.On the way into the store, he kept staring at the window, and sat directly opposite Lin Jinglei after entering the door.

Lin Jinglei raised his eyes to look at the person, and said with a smile, "It's pretty fast."

Yan Zizheng touched the cat that came up to him, "How do you know my phone number?"

Lin Jinglei pointed to Zheng Qiaoyin who was busy at the counter not far away: "I checked the member information, I lost my mobile phone, so I called you from this phone."

It was only then that Yan Zizheng remembered that before he and You Zhaoyu finished their drinks and left last time, Zheng Qiaoyin really refused to refuse to help them all apply for membership cards.He asked the person opposite with a relaxed face: "Where have you been these two days, Principal Lin is very worried."

Lin Jinglei had a half-smile expression on his face, his eyes moved with the fingers scratching the table: "Will he be anxious? He hopes that I will be fine if I don't go back."

Yan Zizheng continued to ask tentatively: "Are you not planning to go home?"

"Tsk, what are you asking, I called you here for something else." Lin Jinglei raised his chin at the cat playing with a disposable straw on the table, "Take the ears of wheat back."

Yan Zizheng looked at Lin Jinglei, did not ask any questions, but used his eyes to exert pressure that he was waiting for him to speak, which really made Lin Jinglei speak.

"I'm leaving this city. I don't plan to take the cat away. Doesn't your sister like it? Give it to her."

Yan Zizheng looked at the person who pulled the coat off the chair next to him and began to put it on after saying this: "Leave this city?"

Lin Jinglei zipped up his clothes: "Be nice to it."

Yan Zizheng was a little flustered by the other party's farewell words and non-stop movements before leaving. He was afraid that Lin Jinglei would disappear into the endless night if he walked out from here.He got up and said, "Where are you going?"

"Why, you want to follow me?" Lin Jinglei smiled heartlessly, then turned and walked towards the door, "Hurry up and go home, don't forget to take the cat with you."

As soon as Lin Jinglei went out, Tang Shan came and forced him back into the room with his arm.

When Lin Jinglei saw Tang Shan, he knew that he was sold by Zheng Qiaoyin, otherwise how could this kid come here with a menacing look of questioning.

"Are you a fucking idiot? It's not professional at all to run away in anger. At least leave some clues. Do you know that Principal Lin is going to call the police!"

Tang Shan's cursing temperament may have something to do with his playing rock and roll. No matter his voice or tone, the people sitting in the room could not ignore it. Standing with one hand on his waist, it would make people feel like he was going up and slapping the boy in front of him in the next second. Nothing wrong with that.

Lin Jinglei shrugged: "Call the police? Is it because I'm missing or I took the money from the family?"

Tang Shan stared: "You also stole the money?"

Lin Jinglei dragged Tang Shan out of the door amidst the strange sights around him. When he got outside, he asked, "Did you tell Principal Lin that you found me?"

Tang Shan shook his head: "Not yet."

"Good brother," Lin Jinglei patted Tang Shan on the shoulder, "Don't tell him, you just pretend you didn't see me."

"What are you going to do?" Tang Shan asked anxiously, "Why don't you go home?"

Lin Jinglei raised one foot and stepped on the stone steps: "Home? Where is my home?"

Tang Shan was startled, and his eyes moved from Lin Jinglei to Yan Zizheng who was holding the cat in the window and watching them. Maisui was scratching the glass, but there was no sound at all.

Lin Jinglei smiled wryly: "He said so many times that he wanted to send me away, but he never actually carried it out. Now it's all right, he reorganized a new family, and I can't get along with that woman, why don't I go by myself."

Tang Shan: "Where are you going?"

"It doesn't matter where you go, as long as you don't get taken away by Lin Guofang."

"Once you call the police, you will be found immediately," Tang Shan said softly, "Don't be self-willed, and you will be much better if you persist in passing the exam for another two years. You have the habit of eating at home and relying on yourself outside , how do you live?"

Lin Jinglei stood up: "Then let's see when we will starve to death."

"I'm fucking convinced of you. Why don't you go back obediently? How did Principal Lin say that you have never been short of food and clothing for so many years..."

"You know what!" Lin Jinglei stopped Tang Shan and said hoarsely, "Although you often complain to me that your parents don't understand you, they are your biological parents, and no matter what, they love you in disguise As for me, my mother threw me at my uncle's house in order to marry me off as a big girl. I grew up so old that I didn't even know who my father was. Because we have known each other for a long time, we think you know me very well, but you don’t understand anything! You don’t understand the helplessness that cannot be changed by relying on others, and you don’t understand the pain of being pushed around like a rag... "

There was only a layer of glass between Yan Zizheng and Lin Jinglei, and he could see his excited expression in full view, but he didn't know what kind of words came out of Lin Jinglei's mouth that could make Tang Shan's eyebrows frowned.The wheat ear almost slipped down, and he was in a hurry to hug it, and when Lin Jinglei raised his head, he had already pushed Tang Shan away and walked to the side of the street. He walked out of the goal with a few strides, stuffed the wheat ear into the stunned Tang Shan, and chased after him.

Zheng Qiaoyin who came out of the house trotted over wearing a coat and asked, "What happened to him?"

Tang Shan said with dull eyes, "I feel like I don't know him anymore."

Yan Zizheng did not reach the roadside before Lin Jinglei got into the taxi, so he had to stop another taxi.

The driver master obeyed his instructions, and followed the car in front of him steadfastly, chasing after him aimlessly. He would not get out of the car until Lin Jinglei got off.

In nearly 10 minutes, Zhaoyu called several times, but Yan Zizheng finally chose to answer.

"Why do you keep hanging up on my phone? Is there something you're hiding from me? Zou Jing said that you guys may have continued to fight like last time."

Yan Zizheng locked his eyes on the taxi in front of him: "No."

"Then why did you go with Tang Shan?"

"Find Lin Jinglei."

You Zhaoyu quickly asked: "Have you found it?"

"No."

Lin Jinglei got off the train at the train station. He didn't take anything except a schoolbag with him. He squeezed into the crowd, but he didn't know that someone was following him not far or near.

He didn't enter the station to buy a ticket, but turned into an alley on the side of the station. The zigzag space was filled with light signs of snack bars and small hotels. Most of the passengers passing by were temporarily staying. City or nostalgia or boredom.

Yan Zizheng was afraid of losing him, so he didn't dare to blink for a second, staring at Lin Jinglei who was turning left and right more than ten meters ahead.

The man entered a hotel called Chunli, and the bright facade still couldn't make people feel a little bit of warmth in this frozen winter.

Yan Zizheng stood at the door and looked inside. Through the glass door, he saw Lin Jinglei going upstairs with ease.

He opened the door and walked in, and walked straight to the stairs like a resident customer. The staff at the front desk just looked up at him and continued to play with their phones.In such a dilapidated place, even the security measures are so perfunctory, it must be extremely convenient for minors to check in without having to rely on their documents.

The carpeted steps sucked away the sound of footsteps, Yan Zizheng looked up, and could see Lin Jinglei's hand holding the handrail moving indefinitely.He even confessed to his favorite cat, he guessed that Lin Jinglei really wanted to leave here, if it wasn't for giving away the cat, he might not be able to know where Lin Jinglei was at all.Whether right or wrong, good or bad, since he chose to follow here, he would not allow Lin Jinglei to leave.

The hotel has five floors, and Lin Jinglei lives on the top floor.He came out of the house that night and wanted to buy a ticket to leave, but the ears of wheat could not be taken away, and his mobile phone was fumbled, so he chose such a place to stay.

In the past three days, he didn't leave except to go downstairs to buy food nearby. He took the money out of the drawer of the TV cabinet at home. The four of them like to put the change in the small square box. I went to put the change, and I still kept the previous amount, which was only a few hundred yuan after counting.

He didn't know how many days he could last. Either he was found by Principal Lin and had to go back, or he starved to death here without the funds. He couldn't even afford the cat food for wheat ears, so he found such an excuse to send the cat out. After much deliberation, he couldn't believe anyone, so he chose the Yan family brothers.

Before taking out the key to open the door, he glanced at Yan Zizheng and saw Yan Zizheng, which made him think that he hadn't eaten two meals and was hungry. It wasn't until the figure came to talk to him that his calm face changed to surprise.

"Live here these days?" Yan Zizheng leaned against the wall with folded arms and looked at the person who had stopped opening the door.

Lin Jinglei asked, "Where's the ear of wheat?"

"Tang Shana."

"You followed?"

"Otherwise?" Yan Zizheng stretched out his hand to twist the door lock with Lin Jinglei's hand that was still holding the key, his action was so rough that it hurt Lin Jinglei's fingers, causing a gasp.

Lin Jinglei blew his fingers and asked the person who had opened the door and entered the room: "What are you doing?"

Yan Zizheng dragged Lin Jinglei into the room, closed the door and asked, "Do you really want to leave this city?"

Lin Jinglei replied: "Of course."

Yan Zizheng nodded and looked around the messy room, his eyes were restless as if he was looking for something.

Lin Jinglei didn't even have time to realize what this man was going to do when he was knocked down by Yan Zizheng's two simple movements.The chromium of the tailbone hurt on the ground, which made him exclaim: "What the hell do you mean!"

Yan Zizheng didn't answer, he took off the schoolbag on Lin Jinglei's body expressionlessly, controlled the struggling person under him with one hand, and tied the two wrists clamped in his hand with the schoolbag strap with the other hand, moving as quickly as if Can do magic.

Then he dragged Lin Jinglei, whose hands were bound, to the side of the bed, pulled out half of the sheet, wrapped Lin Jinglei's carelessly planing feet, and fixed them to the iron railing at the foot of the bed.

He ignored everything that Lin Jinglei was cursing, clapped his hands calmly, got up and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the person sitting on the ground: "Will you go home?"

"It's none of your business whether I go home or not!"

Lin Jinglei was very angry, unexpectedly, after a few close combat classes, he still had no strength to fight back against Yan Zizheng who had become serious.

Yan Zizheng withdrew his gaze and took out his mobile phone: "Let Aunt Tong pick you up or will you go back with me?"

Lin Jinglei twisted his clenched wrists vigorously: "Don't fucking meddle in your own business!"

Yan Zizheng continued to press the phone: "I'll take care of it."

Lin Jinglei saw that the situation was not right, and quickly said: "However, we are still friends, you don't have to fuck me like this, right?"

Yan Zizheng raised his eyebrows: "Are we friends?"

"Calculate."

Yan Zizheng withdrew his gaze, patted the ashes on his trouser legs: "Then, tell me why you ran away from home."

The room with no lights turned on was not too dark due to the mixed and complicated lights from outside. The two teenagers sat on the ground and on the bed. There was a long silence, one was waiting to listen, and the other hadn't said anything yet.

The first thing that entered Yan Zizheng's ears was the sound of his stomach growling, not his, maybe it was because the room was too quiet, the sound was like thunder.This made him a little unbearable: "Didn't eat?"

Lin Jinglei made the last attempt to save face, and snorted, "Does it look like I have eaten like this, or can I be controlled by you?"

Yan Zizheng continued: "Then why don't you say it?"

"What the hell am I talking about?" Lin Jinglei was furious, "Aren't you idle, other people's affairs are so nice?"

Yan Zizheng stood up and turned around before leaving, "Don't tell me?"

"You untie me before you go!" Lin Jinglei saw that the crack in the door had completely taken Yan Zizheng away, and uttered a broken cry, "Fuck! Yan Zizheng! You fucking come back to me!"

The hotel's sound insulation was so poor that Yan Zizheng walked through two rooms and could still hear Lin Jinglei scolding him intermittently in the room.

He shook the key in his hand, went downstairs quickly, turned to the fast food restaurant diagonally opposite, and ordered some takeaways. While waiting, he struggled for a while and decided to call Tong Yuying.

Tong Yuying's number was saved a while ago, and he was afraid that if he was not at home, he would not be able to take care of something at home and would need the aunt next door to take care of him.

Tong Yuying didn't expect it to be about Lin Jinglei when she received Yan Zizheng's call. She was relieved when she heard that Lin Jinglei had found him. Fortunately, she didn't call the police, and said that if Yan Zizheng couldn't bring someone back, she would come again.

When Yan Zizheng returned with his food, Lin Jinglei had already loosened one of his feet. As soon as he turned on the light, he saw that the man was twisting like a compass with the butt as the center and the leg length as the radius.

Seeing Yan Zizheng's return, Lin Jinglei heaved a sigh of relief: "Damn it, I thought you were gone."

Yan Zizheng put the things on the bedside table, knelt down and asked, "Are you going to tell me?"

Lin Jinglei smiled, shaking the wrist behind him: "Well, you untie it for me, I'll have something to eat and I'll tell you whatever you want to hear."

Yan Zizheng then went to untie the schoolbag strap on Lin Jinglei's wrist, but just as he untied it, he was punched heavily in the face,

The person who beat him gave him a blank stare, then put his hand into the food bag with a stubborn expression on his face.
