Chapter 16: Please Go
The time passed very long, and after more than ten minutes and a half hours, the man answered a phone call, and then said, "Miss Zhou, please, I'll send you down." Miss Qi is already waiting for you downstairs. ”
He was polite, as if they were invited guests. With that, he walked straight out of the hallway. Zhou He didn't notice when he came, but he led the way at this time, only to find that there was a direct staircase on the third floor that went directly to the back door of the clubhouse.
When he went down, Qi Jingran was really already there, leaning against the wall in the corner with his cloak and being embarrassed, and he couldn't tell if he had suffered hardship.
Zhou He originally thought that he would meet Cheng Wei, but he didn't see anyone.
Cheng Wei made a big move at that time, and he was released like that, and Zhou He still didn't think it was real.
Before she could figure out a reason, the man with gold-rimmed glasses looked at the alley, smiled slightly and said, "Miss Zhou, please go, the security here is not very good." ”
His words seemed to have another meaning, and Zhou He's nerves tensed, and he turned back to the clubhouse.
With this reminder, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Zhou He didn't dare to stay longer. stepped forward to support Qi Jingran.
Qi Jingran's legs were very lame, and the deep alleys seemed to have no end. Zhou He's nerves were tense to the extreme, but fortunately, nothing happened again.
Qi Jingran is like this, and it is obviously not possible to go back to Aunt Qi's side. Zhou He stopped the car on the side of the road, was silent for a moment, and asked, "Where do you live?"
Qi Jingran said the address, Zhou He didn't speak, waited for a taxi to stop, and helped her into the car. After reporting the address, ask the driver to turn up the heater.
Qi Jingran obviously didn't know how many times he had moved, and the place he lived in was no longer the community he rented before, in a long alley. The neighborhood is full of private houses. The road was too narrow, and the driver was reluctant to enter, so the two got out of the car at the entrance of the alley.
It was already past eleven o'clock, and there were not many pedestrians on the road.
Qi Jingran's face has always been thick, and after walking a few steps, he stopped, looked at Zhou He, and said with an innocent face: "I'm a little hungry." ”
She was a little hungry. But if she's like this, people in the store may not let her in.
She herself was obviously self-aware, and immediately said, "I'll wait for you here, you go buy something to eat." After speaking, he added: "I don't have anything to eat at home." ”
Zhou He looked at her without speaking, and walked towards a 24-hour beef noodle restaurant on the side. When she was paying, she paused slightly and asked the little brother in the store to cook a bowl of noodles and meat.
Late at night, the business in the store was deserted, and it didn't take long for the noodles to be cooked. When she went out, Qi Jingran was still standing under the muddy wall, and when she saw Zhou He coming over with a steaming face, she limped over.
She was not afraid of being hot, so she tore open the disposable chopsticks in her hand, blew the cloak and ate it indiscriminately. Apparently starving.
Zhou He's nose was a little sour, and he pinned his face to the side without looking at it.
Qi Jingran ate half a bowl of noodles, and then he had time to ask, "Don't you eat it?"
Zhou He still didn't speak, and only looked sideways at her after a while. With a blank face, he asked, "What did he tell you to look for over there?"
As soon as these words came out, Qi Jingran paused in eating noodles, and then continued to eat, without raising his head, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”
She replied, and Zhou He confirmed his guess more and more. She went over there, and the man told her to go. Walking in the wrong private room is probably true. Otherwise, Cheng Wei would not have let her back so easily.
But she must also be in a weak heart, otherwise she would have suffered so much and it would be impossible to remain silent.
Zhou He felt a little powerless at this moment, and wanted to ask something more, but he knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he didn't speak again.
Qi Jingran finished eating a bowl of hot noodles in less than five minutes, threw down the box on the spot, exhaled, and said to Zhou He: "It's not early, you go back." I'll just go back myself. ”
With her limping appearance, Zhou He naturally didn't worry about her going back alone. Without saying a word, he stepped forward to help her.
Qi Jingran lives in a two-story courtyard at the innermost end of the alley, with more than a dozen tenants, and most of them have already fallen asleep at this time, only the street lamps on the edge of the courtyard emit a dim yellow light.
She had walked the way with great difficulty, and when she saw that she was about to arrive, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's it." ”
Zhou He looked up and helped her to continue walking.
Qi Jingran lived in the first room upstairs, and when she went up the stairs, she was about to take out the key, but her movements suddenly stopped, squeezed out a smile, and whispered: "The house is small, so I won't keep you." I'll just go back myself. ”
There was a faint sound of laughter between men and women in the room.
Zhou He's body suddenly straightened. She didn't speak, just looked at Qi Jingran like that.
