Friends list

Chapter 8

The next morning when he went out, Mu Yan saw something on the mailbox after a long absence.

A box of chocolate-flavored milk, with a note pressed as usual.This is delicious, followed by five exclamation points.

By the time he finished dealing with his affairs, it was already after noon, and he had to go somewhere else in the afternoon. He was thinking whether to go home or find a place to eat, when suddenly someone called his name behind him.

At that moment, Mu Yan didn't remember who the voice belonged to, only knew that it was very familiar.When he turned around, the man was already standing behind him, looking at him with a slight smile, the gentle but clever expression in his eyes remained the same as before.

Jiang Runzhu.

"Just look at the image from the opposite side, and it's really real when you get closer." Jiang Runzhu walked up to him in a few steps, tilted his head slightly and stretched out his hand.

"...What a coincidence." Mu Yan really thought it was a coincidence to meet in the huge city of Beijing.After shaking Jiang Runzhu's hand, he suddenly felt as if he had passed away.The person in front of him is still very thin, but his complexion is much better than that of the university, and so is his spirit.

"I met Zhiran a while ago and chatted with you, but I didn't expect to meet you today."

"I heard what he said." Mu Yan smiled, "You haven't changed much."

"You haven't changed much, but you have matured, but you are still the focus of attention."

Mu Yan was genuinely happy, "Where can I find such a down-and-out focal point?"

"I'll just say you haven't changed much, you still love to belittle yourself."

The two chatted casually again, and Mu Yan felt that standing by the side of the road and recalling the past would affect passers-by, so he asked, "Are you busy, or find a place to sit."

Jiang Runzhu smiled apologetically, "I still have class in the afternoon...how about waiting for me to get off work? It should be around eight o'clock, is the time suitable?"

Mu Yan nodded, "Appropriate."

"The number hasn't changed, has it? I'll call you after get off work."

"no change."

After saying goodbye, Jiang Runzhu left first, but turned back to stop Mu Yan after not taking two steps, and sniffed embarrassedly, "Mu Yan, it's nice to see you again."

When he smiled, he was exactly the same as the boy at that time, the expression of his brows and eyes, the curvature of the corners of his mouth, did not change at all.Mu Yan also laughed, "Me too."

After he finished his work in the evening, Jiang Runzhu's phone call happened to happen, and the two made an appointment to meet at a restaurant.

They hadn't seen each other for five years, and there was no sense of unfamiliarity between them. Mu Yan felt that this was mostly due to Jiang Runzhu. He has such a charm. No matter who is with him, he can always get along comfortably and easily.

This meal was very pleasant, and the two of them briefly chatted about what they had done in the past few years when they had no contact with each other. Afterwards, most of the topics revolved around Jiang Runzhu's students.It can be heard that he likes the job of a teacher very much and devotes a lot of energy to the students.

Mu Yan also thinks that he is suitable. His gentle and tenacious character is destined to be a good teacher, but it is a pity.

Jiang Runzhu was always the head member among the students in their class back then. He won scholarships and competition medals, and received invitations from many foreign institutions, but he had to decline them all for fucking reasons.Mu Yan felt that he deserved a better home.

It was already a little late after dinner, Mu Yan went downstairs to the community and did not see the lights on the fifth floor, so he probably fell asleep.He vaguely felt as if he had forgotten something and couldn't remember it.When I got home and saw the box of chocolate milk on the table, I sent a message to the child, asking if he was asleep.

But until he went to sleep, there was no return.Quite rare.

The next day when he went out at noon, he found the child's bicycle parked downstairs. He didn't think much about it, thinking that someone came back to pick up things during his lunch break.When he came back in the afternoon and found that the car was not moving, he felt that something was wrong.I went upstairs and knocked on the door, but no one answered.

At night, after the time for the children to go home, Mu Yan finally confirmed that Yu Youle was lost.

I made several phone calls and they were all turned off.

He didn't know where the person would go. The fact that the bicycle didn't move should mean that the person didn't go to school.At first, he thought about calling the school to ask, but after thinking about it, he wasn't his mother, so he didn't care if he played truant or not.The most unstable time is only a few years, and it is the third year of high school. Maybe the pressure is too great, and I took the green train to Lhasa on a whim.

……

After lying in the hospital for two full days, on the third morning, Yu Youle made the bed early and sat at the end of the bed to wait.

After checking the other rooms, the nurse came over and told, "The routine results have come out, all indicators are normal, and you can leave the hospital." The head nurse, who is nearly [-] years old, noticed that the boy was alone in the hospital these days, and he couldn't bear to go out. Keep asking, "Is there no contact to pick you up?"

"...I can do it myself." Yu Yule was embarrassed, and added a sentence of thanks after stammering.

In fact, he didn't feel much discomfort after gastric lavage, but the hospital stipulated that he should be hospitalized for observation. He had no choice but to lie dry in the hospital for two days.

After leaving the hospital, Yu Yule didn't go home first, but searched for his schoolbag in one store after another in the community.

He was in a coma when he was taken to the hospital by ambulance. When he woke up, he found that his schoolbag and mobile phone were gone.Without a mobile phone, the hospital couldn't help him contact relatives and friends, and he couldn't pay the medical expenses. The kind head nurse paid for him in advance, and he now has an IOU in his pocket that he insisted on typing.

Yu Yule gradually became a little anxious after asking most of the shops on the street but found nothing.The things in the bag are worthless, but if the book is lost, it will be a huge project to replace the notes. The fifth-hand mobile phone can’t be sold for 50 yuan in the second-hand market, but it contains a lot of important information.

There was no result after asking the whole street, so he turned around and searched for the property.

Because the residents in the community have to move and rent, the occupancy rate is not even below [-], and the property office is also sluggish. There is only one old man on duty in the morning.Hearing that Yu Youle wanted to check the surveillance, he said haha ​​that the person in charge of the surveillance is not here today, and asked him to come back another day.

Hearing what he said, Yu Yule thought of the monitor in front of her building with her head drooping, and her heart sank for the most part.He left the property dejectedly, he was sad, and he was still thinking about paying back the money.Before taking two steps with his head drooping, a pair of shoes suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking him.

"Yu Yule."

Hearing his own name popping out word by word, he raised his head suddenly.Not far in front of him, Mu Yan was looking at him with folded arms.

For some reason, Mu Yan couldn't sleep well these two days.Woke up this morning and stood by the window, and found that the person who had disappeared for several days just reappeared, strolling in the street as if nothing had happened. What to eat?

"Mu Yan..."

"Yo, you still know me." Mu Yan sensed that the child's expression was not very good, and frowned, "Why did you go these days?"

"I, I still..." Seeing Mu Yan at this time, Yu Youle resisted for no reason, "I still have something to do, I'm leaving first."

The man ran past him as he spoke, Mu Yan's face turned cold, and he immediately grabbed him, "Why are you running?" He pulled the man back to him without looking back, "I'm asking you something , why did you go these days?"

"... Nothing."

"Why didn't you do it? Did you really play truant? How old are you, have you not passed the rebellious period?"

Yu Yule couldn't help muttering, "None of your business..." He felt the hand holding his wrist loosen suddenly, and his heart also turned cold.

"Okay, it's none of my business," Mu Yan pressed the tip of his tongue against the inner wall of his mouth, "I'm fucking free, too."

Yu Youle called Mu Yan in a low voice, trying to explain something, but he had already left before him.

When he got home, what should Mu Yan do? He felt that there was no need to be serious with a child. If he was really unhappy because of such a thing, he would be ashamed to say it.He himself does not admit that he is irritable, but he will be beaten when he does everything.

It was just dark when there was a knock on the door unexpectedly.No need to think about who it was, he pretended he didn't hear it.However, the door was knocked for a while and then stopped, and after a while it turned into scratching, which was endless like lettering on the door.

Mu Yan got annoyed, pulled the door open, and glanced at the people outside, "What are you scratching, go to school!"

Yu Youle shook his shoulders, and took a half step back, "Today... I took a full day off."

"Oh, then you can scratch my door and play?"

Yu Yule immediately put his hands in his pockets, "...I'm here to apologize, I shouldn't have said that in the morning, it's none of your business, there's nothing that doesn't concern you..."

"Stop," before he finished speaking, Mu Yan raised his hand first, "No one wants to care about you, and I don't have that much time to spare, just talk if you have something to say, why go if you have nothing to do."

"It's gone... I just want you not to be angry." Yu Yule said in a lower voice, looking down at the floor tiles with her head down.

"Why should I be angry, let's go." Seeing the child turn around slowly, Mu Yan pulled the door, the moment the door was about to close, seeing the thin back coming through the crack of the door, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable, especially in his heart, being caught As if grabbing something hard, he suddenly pushed the door open again, "...wait a minute!"

Yu Yule stood on the steps and turned her head, her pitiful expression didn't stop in time.

"Why did you turn off your phone when I called you?" Mu Yan asked.

Yu Yule reacted for a while, "Did you call me?"

Mu Yan felt that his reaction was inexplicable, "Why, can't you fight?"

"You are, you couldn't find me, and then you called me?" Yu Yule's tone gradually became excited, "...are you worried about me?"

Mu Yan was uncomfortable when he asked, "You are such an adult, why worry?"

Yu Yule lowered her head slightly to avoid revealing the smile on her mouth, "I lost my schoolbag, and my phone is also inside."

"Lost it?" Mu Yan paused, "What on earth have you been doing these past few days?"

Yu Yule scratched his face, "I went to the hospital..."

Mu Yan frowned, "Come up."

Yu You was happy to think about it, and his mouth was quick, just a few steps, he walked as slowly as he could, thinking quickly about what to say.To be honest, I took the wrong medicine, said that I lay down before I came out of the pharmacy, and then someone called 120 for him, and he was dragged to the emergency room?
