Mistake

Chapter 21

After half an episode of the anime on TV was boring, Kang Lujie panicked for no reason and couldn't watch it anymore, so she simply switched off the Internet TV and switched to a local satellite TV station.After thinking about it, he called Kang Siqi again, but only an emotionless female voice came from the earbuds: "The number you dialed is currently on the line."

Who runs and calls?Something must be wrong with her dad.

However, in fact, Kang Siqi often had troubles.As she grew up, she couldn't get through to her dad's phone number countless times, but this time, the uneasiness suddenly grabbed her throat like a pair of sharp claws—this was all caused by intuition, which told her something was going to happen, She didn't know what it was.

Tried to dial the number twice more, but Kang Siqi was still on the call, so she had to call Zhuang Ze instead, and the call was connected quickly.

"Lulu?" Zhuang Ze sounded a little surprised.

"Ms. Zhuang, I...my dad," Kang Lujie opened her mouth, and then realized that she didn't know how to describe it. She didn't know what happened, and she wasn't sure if Kang Siqi's abnormality meant something. Thinking about something, thinking about it, I can only describe it in vain.

"I think something is wrong with my dad. He suddenly said that he was going to go for a run, but he didn't change his clothes or shoes. It's still the same as when he came back from a business trip. Now his mobile phone can't get through. I feel very bad."

Zhuang Ze paused: "Did he not say anything?"

"Well, nothing. After coming back, I stayed at the door for a while, and suddenly went out. But he really didn't drive, and walked out." After saying this, she also began to suspect that she was nervous, and her tone became weak Go on, "Actually, it's not particularly abnormal, and I don't know what's going on. I feel very uncomfortable all of a sudden, like... like the day my mother died."

"Lulu!" Zhuang Ze suddenly snorted softly, "Don't scare yourself, your father called me just now, we'll meet at night, I'll ask for you when the time comes, okay?"

"Thank you." Kang Lujie felt a little more at ease, remembering the question Kang Siqi asked her not long ago, she obviously agreed, but Mr. Zhuang hasn't moved in so far. I don't know what's going on with them. After thinking about it, I deliberately made things worse. Fan, he tentatively asked, "Teacher, when will you move here?"

After hearing this, there was a clear silence over there, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Kang Lujie understood that her father didn't handle Teacher Zhuang.

So he coughed lightly, wanting to change the subject to ease the atmosphere, and glanced at the TV screen inadvertently.It was the evening news time, and it was the one where Zhuang Ze named the news producer.At this time, the camera focused on an old man with half-white hair, and the female anchor stated the news in cadence.

"...From now on, Xia Zhicheng's corruption case will be investigated. According to people familiar with the matter, the list of people involved in the case has been roughly sorted out. Many entrepreneurs from cities C and L are among them. At present, key figures have been locked..."

Kang Lujie's scalp went numb, and she suddenly found the reason for her uneasiness.

On the TV, the camera switched to the procuratorate, and the so-called "list of cases involved" was in the hands of someone on the screen, but it was impossible to release it.The news ended in half a minute, and her heart just started to beat: "Mr. Zhuang, do you know... Xia Zhicheng?"

Zhuang Ze's expression tightened: "What's wrong?"

Kang Lujie pinched the wire of the earplugs, frowned, and stared at the TV screen: "This man was arrested. My dad once said that this man is his Bole. Teacher, tell me, did my dad ever bribe him? If Yes, will my dad be arrested too? Will he... be sentenced to jail?"

"Lulu." Zhuang Ze's voice was gentle and powerful, and he spoke slowly, "This is all an adult's business, and the adult will handle it. Don't be afraid, I will go find your father in a while."

Kang Lujie held her breath and stretched her whole body into a bow. She didn't sound scared, but she was a little cold: "Teacher, if something happens to my dad, will you leave him?"

Zhuang Ze paused for a moment, and replied: "No." After finishing speaking, he said a few words of comfort in a soft voice, and then hung up the phone.

Conlujie stayed with the earplugs for a while before taking them off.

After that, she silently raised her legs and retracted into the sofa, leaned on one armrest and lay down, staring at the ceiling with fixed eyebrows.The picture imagined in her mind was like the rolling Yangtze River, flashing non-stop, one frame after another, and finally stayed at the nearest home after her reunion with her classmates that day, and met her father coughing alone on the roadside in front of the door. look.

As if she had obtained a pass word, she immediately figured out the intention behind her father's question that night - the partner had only been dating for less than three months, and she was going to bring him home to live together. This was not Kang Siqi's fault. Rhythm; even if he is moved, he will not be so hasty to include a person as a family - he is planning for her.

Zhuang Ze is in a salon where it is important or not, and it seems that he should always attend. It is nothing special, it is just a kind of social interaction.After hanging up Kang Lujie's phone, he left the salon, called Kang Siqi and drove.

As a result, as Cong Lujie said, the phone has been in a talking state.He drove to Liujin Yiting, the journey was not too far, and he was near there soon. He slowed down, observed the side of the road, and continued to make a phone call at the same time.After I don't know how many times I dialed out, the receiver finally heard a normal connection sound.

After three rings, the phone was connected, and Kang Siqi said in a normal tone, "Is it over?"

Zhuang Ze said "hmm" and pursed his lips. He didn't mention what Kang Lujie said, but asked, "Where are you? I'll look for you."

Kang Siqi chuckled, "So active?"

He's getting old, and he's always proud of these petties like a child... Zhuang Ze has heard this tone many times, but this time he felt caught in the heartstrings, his blood felt hot for no reason, and the corners of his eyes suddenly twitched. Damp and hot, followed his soft voice and replied: "Yes, I miss you."

Kang Siqi smiled happily: "Sixian Park is near the river on Yuanxin Road."

Ten minutes later, Zhuang Ze's car stopped on the side of Yuanxin Road.He walked along the river to look for Kang Shiqi, and finally found him on an arched bridge.

That person was leaning on the bridge railing, holding a mobile phone in one hand, and a piece of bread in the other, while gnawing on the bread, he was concentrating on looking at something on the mobile phone. He didn't look like the helm of a large group at all, like a...ordinary of middle-aged people.An ordinary person who has no time to care about the quality of life, rushes about for life all the time, and maybe has a family behind him.

Maybe it's because he's used to seeing him in a high position, swaying and making decisions, but now he looks like a mortal, and he was stabbed with a hole in his heart, which hurts a lot.Zhuang Ze took a deep breath, tucked away the pain in his heart, slowed down, and walked to Kang Siqi's side.

"So soon?" Kang Siqi glanced at him, and quickly focused on the phone, which was Xia Zhicheng's news, "I just wanted to tell you something, Lao Xia may go in this time, he went to City C I had a close relationship with him in those years. I estimate that next week at the latest, I will go to cooperate with the investigation. It is hard to say whether An is safe, your sister, I plan to resign, so as not to find her in trouble. "

Zhuang Ze nodded lightly and replied, "Well, you decide."

After hearing this, Kang Siqi stopped swiping the news, straightened up, took a bite of bread, and stared at Zhuang Ze: "So calm? Are you afraid that I will go in for ten or eight years?"

Zhuang Ze looked back at him: "Will you?"

Kang Siqi frowned and sighed: "It's not impossible. Before answering your call, I was talking to You Ziyi. For so many years, I seldom had direct contact with Lao Xia. It was through her. She had everything I had with Lao Xia. Evidence. In the past six months, she seldom gave me news about Lao Xia, and now she is seeking to get out of her shell and climb up to Bai Qingyuan. She didn't tell me about it in advance—between me and her..."

"I understand." Zhuang Ze continued, "You guys are very obvious."

Kang Siqi chuckled: "It's good if you understand. In our relationship, if she changed someone and didn't say anything to me, I'm not so confident in my heart. If something has to happen, how will she treat me? ?”

"You can't handle a woman?" Zhuang Ze raised his eyebrows.

Kang Siqi said "Hey", he chewed the remaining bread in his hand, and patted Zhuang Ze's shoulder with the back of his hand: "It's not you...you still have the mood to laugh at me, what do you think? Did I go in, the two of us It's over? Zhuang Ze, don't think too much, I still want to entrust Lulu to you, my daughter treats you as a stepmother!"

Pooh.This person is shameless and can play at a very high level at any time.

Zhuang Ze didn't bother to answer these words, so he grabbed his hand, and his familiar fingers naturally intertwined.He pulled him to face the river, leaned against the railing again, and looked at the Sixian River under the nightfall.Zhuang Ze rubbed Kang Siqi's index finger with his thumb and said softly, "Kang, let me tell you another secret."

Kang Siqi pretended to be surprised: "You have quite a lot of secrets."

Zhuang Ze ignored him and continued: "That year I came to City C to visit the school. I saw you by the fish pond you like. You also saw mine, but you forgot."

After hearing this, Kang Siqi's surprise became real: "How is it possible, you are like this, how could I forget it after seeing you?"

Zhuang Ze nodded: "Yes, I hope so too. But you did forget me. When I was in front of Cen Jia's tomb, I knew you didn't remember me at all, but it was because of her that I first met you."

Kang Siqi: "Do you know Cen Jia?"

Zhuang Ze: "I don't know. Do you still remember? One day Cen Jia chased you and wanted to give you a bottle of soda, but you didn't want it. You threw the soda and pushed her, and she fell down. At that time, someone I picked up that bottle of soda and insisted on giving it to you to force you to accept it, but you scolded him for being crazy, and then left with your brothers."

Kang Siqi suddenly said, "...it's you. I remembered—"

He withdrew his hand, leaned sideways on the railing, looked Zhuang Ze up and down, and smiled as he looked at him: "It's really you, it's really you, you... Do you know, you were so disrespectful to me at that time. Tiandu kept scolding you, and said that if I saw you again, I would beat you. But, I never saw you again."

Zhuang Ze pursed his lips: "I'm just passing by."

Kang Siqi: "Passing by you meddling so much."

Zhuang Ze: "When you see injustice on the road, let out a roar."

Kang Siqi was speechless.

The two were silent for a while, and for a while, they were immersed in a kind of infection called "fate", and put aside the troubles that were about to come.The night is very good, and it makes people feel soft and unreasonable.

"Hey, you actually forgot it too, right? Did you just remember it when I talked about the past in Qingchiyuan of your school?" After a while, Kang Siqi asked.

Zhuang Ze remained silent, wondering if it was acquiescence.

Kang Siqi said again: "Since we are so destined, can I ask you something?"

Zhuang Ze answered again: "If you go in, I will take care of Lulu for you."

"No." Kang Siqi stared into his eyes, and shook the hand he just shook in the void, "I beg you for myself, if I get into trouble this time, no matter if I get in or not, don't leave Me. Otherwise, I will be sad. Once I am sad, I don’t know what I will do to you, or it will make you miserable. "

Hearing this, Zhuang Ze was taken aback.After a moment, he nodded: "I promise you, from now on, you owe me a favor."

Kang Siqi: "... Guess how You Ziyi evaluated you? She said that you are suitable for business. I think she has a good eye."

Zhuang Ze readily accepted: "Thank you for the compliment."
