When I asked Hu Jing where Hao Zhou went, I obviously noticed that Hu Jing's hand holding the wine glass shook a little, and a little nervousness was imperceptibly revealed.

Although it is not easy to notice, I kept staring at Hu Jing's expression when I asked this question, so Hu Jing's subtle expression change did not escape my eyes.

However, after a long time, Hu Jing regained her composure, shook her head, and said, "I don't know." ”

I'm not sure if Hu Jing really doesn't know, and besides, my relationship with Hao Zhou is not as good as Hu Jing's relationship with him, since Hu Jing said so, I can't ask anything in detail.

I remembered that Hao Zhou sent me a text message a few days ago, even if it was just to chat with me, it was to treat me as a friend, and it was right to care about my friends.

I took a sip of my drink and said, "I went to Hao Zhou's store to see it, but there has been no one for several days, and the phone can't get through." Haven't you been to Hao Zhou's for the past few days?"

Hu Jing didn't look at me, took a sip of wine, and shook his head: "No." ”

"It's fine, there's a sign on his door that says he's back home," I said.

"Oh," Hu Jing said without saying anything.

At this time, it was not long after getting off work, and when it came to the dinner point, there were more people in the restaurant, Brother Long was busy at this time, I was busy in a blink of an eye, Brother Long was busy, and I also found that the guy in the store was gone, only Brother Long was busy alone, I was about to ask Brother Long why the guy was not there, and when he wanted to help, Sister-in-law Long came to the store at this time. Long's sister-in-law is in her thirties, still plump, wearing light red short sleeves, rubbing light pink, jewelry is expensive and not gorgeous, and a little girl in her twenties has a fight.

Sister-in-law Long was with Xiaolong, who was Brother Long's son, greeted Zhang Zhi and walked over.

I'm a little puzzled, usually when Sister-in-law Long comes, she comes to surprise check if Brother Long has a pickle girl or something, and she will never take Xiaolong with her, even if Xiaolong usually doesn't come to this store, and Brother Long has known each other for a few years, I have only seen Xiaolong at Brother Long's house, and this is the first time I have seen Xiaolong come here.

Sister-in-law Long walked over with a smile, said hello, and after chatting a few words, she asked me to look at Xiaolong, and then went with Brother Long.

I wanted to help, but Sister-in-law Long said that I would just play with Xiaolong.

I touched Xiaolong's head and said with a smile: "Xiaolong is out of school, is it okay for uncle to play games with you." ”

"Hello Auntie," Xiaolong shouted at Hu Jing, but ignored me, and then ran to the bar to do his homework.

I was stunned for a moment, although this little dragon was shy, but it used to be Uncle Yun Uncle Yun's affectionate screams, what's wrong today?

I asked Xiaolong with a grin, but he ignored me.

Xiaolong was lying on the bar and concentrating on his homework, at this time, Brother Long walked back to the bar, and with Sister-in-law Long coming to help, Brother Long was somewhat relaxed.

Brother Long touched Xiaolong's head, as if he heard something and said, "Xiaolong, why are you so rude, why don't you say hello to your uncle?"

Xiaolong said while keeping his head down and doing his homework, "I don't talk to people I hate. ”

"How do you speak? how did Lao Tzu teach you before, quickly, admit your mistakes with your uncle!" Brother Long roared.

I don't want to fall into Xiaolong's heart because of a little thing, children's hearts are generally very fragile and can't stand scolding. So I persuaded: "Brother Long, what a big deal, what a temper, your own people, don't be so polite." ”

At this time, Xiaolong put down the pen, raised his head a little aggrieved, looked at me with a very angry expression, and shouted: "Whoever asked you to take care of it, it's all you, my parents don't play with me anymore when they borrow money from you, and they don't buy me delicious food! I hate you!"

"Smack!" only to hear a piercing sound, I saw Brother Long stretch out a huge slap and slap at Xiaolong's head, and suddenly Xiaolong cried and broke his heart.

I immediately lay on the bar, grabbed Brother Long's hand, and shouted, "Brother Long, don't ......"

Brother Long looked at me and smiled at me: "Children are not sensible, nonsense, don't take it seriously." ”

I clenched my hands tightly and looked at Brother Long who was laughing, but I couldn't speak, and my hands kept shaking.

I was not only moved, but also sad and sad.

Brother Long can give so much for me, I can't repay it except being moved, but I never thought that because of me, I disrupted the originally harmonious and warm family, and I am a sinner.

It is said that when you have money, your friends know you, and when you don't have money, you meet your friends, but I know that my friends, no matter when, are my friends.

Sometimes, it's just a word or an action.

When I heard what Xiaolong said, I already instantly understood why Sister-in-law Long came here with Xiaolong, and Xiaolong, who had never been here, was forced to come here.

I suddenly thought that the guy in this store was gone, could it be that Brother Long did this to save money?

I almost couldn't hold back my tears, but I couldn't let my grief be seen by Brother Long, because he had done so much for me.

I don't know how much Brother Long has paid for me, but I know that it must be a lot, a lot......

I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it in my next life.

"Brother Long...... "As soon as I grabbed the wine on the bar, I was about to pour it into my mouth, but Brother Long snatched it away.

"Brother Long, you know that I am not moved at all by doing this, really, I am only sad. I said to Brother Long, "I don't want to make my brother sad, so please don't do this again." ”

"I just want you to get better soon. Brother Long smiled at me, indicating that he didn't mind.

"Are you short of money?" Hu Jing kept staring at me, and then said, "How much?"

"No, you don't have to. "I don't think I did.

This kind of thing, if it's a friend, you say that a friend will only be sad, then why do you say it?

If you're not a friend at all, then why would you talk to someone you don't need?

Hu Jing looked at Brother Long with soliciting eyes, and Brother Long looked at me and shook his head.

At this time, Zhang Zhi and He Yulu also came over, and Zhang Zhi came over and patted me on the shoulder.

Before Zhang Zhi sat down, Hu Jing got up directly, pulled Zhang Zhi and said, "Drink two cups?"

Zhang Zhi didn't speak, and when he looked at me, he had been pulled away by Hu Jing.

Ning Meixuan unconsciously sat next to me and said to me, "Are you okay?"

I shook my head.

Xiaolong was in the bar, looking at me with hateful eyes, and Brother Long was busy running forward and backwards at this time, and a kind of pain instantly spread in my heart.

I looked at the bright restaurant, the neon lights were still flashing in the distance, and I suddenly thought of the happy time with Brother Long before, although Brother Long was in the restaurant every day, he never asked about the restaurant, and never cared, when would he work so hard and earn money so hard as he does now?

I didn't drink, but I was drunk.

I stood up silently, walked out of the restaurant, and sat on the curb by the road, sighing, looking at the silent night.

I am very melancholy, melancholy, if I am not so useless, not so decadent, maybe, I don't have to let so many people feel sorry for me, busy for me, and worry about me.

Originally, I thought that I must be very happy with so many people caring about me, but in this case, I can't enjoy all this with peace of mind.

I want to be a heartless person, even if I am stupid, I don't have to worry about it.

And Ning Meixuan didn't know when she came out and sat next to me.

"We all care about you. Ning Meixuan looked at me and said.

"Yes, you all care about me, but the more this happens, the more uncomfortable I become. I looked up at the dim streetlights and sighed.

"So you should be more strong in the face of the disease, if you really give up like this, then how sad everyone will be! In fact, it is not that it is very difficult, but you have not mustered up the courage to face it. Ning Meixuan also learned from me to look up at the sky: "Since you can't be at ease, why don't you treat your illness with peace of mind, and then repay everyone when you get better?"

"If only life were really that easy. "The sky was blinded and my eyes were confused.

"You shouldn't be so decadent, no matter how unsatisfactory life is, don't we have a group of us by your side and accompany you through the difficulties?" Ning Meixuan said quietly.

"Let's talk about it. I shook my head. I'm a stubborn person, and it's hard to change the things I believe.

I looked at Ning Meixuan: "You seem to know me better than me." ”

"yes, I know you better than I know myself. Ning Meixuan suddenly lowered her head, looked at me, and said softly.

In this silent night, I heard and heard clearly, and I also noticed that Ning Meixuan was looking at me, but I didn't move.

When I heard that, my heart was pounding.

Cars came and went, the wind was blowing, the shade of the trees was swaying, and the people who were shaking their bodies left this green city, but no one entered it again, because it was late at night.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Zhi and Hu Jing came out slowly.

I know it's time to part again.

But I didn't go to say goodbye to Brother Long, I was afraid, and I was ashamed of Brother Long, I didn't know how to face Brother Long, I could only escape.

Hu Jing didn't seem to be drunk, walked straight past me, shouted, go, go.

Ning Meixuan and I stood aside and watched quietly.

In the blink of an eye, Hu Jing had already walked a long way, and a taxi happened to drive over, and Hu Jing waved his hand.

Before I could react, Zhang Zhi had already rushed out directly from me and Ning Meixuan, leaving only a word, and got into the taxi with Hu Jing.

"I'll send Hu Jing, you send Ning Meixuan home. ”

"Hey...... You kid...... "At my shout, the car roared away.

Actually, what I want to say is that I don't have a place to sleep today, so I want to make do with Zhang Zhi. I didn't expect this kid to run so fast, but why is this kid so interested in Hu Jing?

"Do you want to ......" Ning Meixuan looked at me and pointed to the inside of the restaurant.

"Let's go. I shook my head, thinking that it would be better to leave, I was willing not to part, I said to Ning Meixuan, "I'll send you back." ”

The night is already sluggish, and the strange thing is that now Ning Meixuan and I have been walking for a long time, but no taxi has passed.

Ning Meixuan is always so quiet, she doesn't even talk much.

On the way, I called Zhang Zhi several times, but no one answered.

In the silence of me looking up and sighing, and Ning Meixuan's bowing head, I finally waited for the taxi.

Standing downstairs, I looked at Ning Meixuan who was walking inside.

The community where Ning Meixuan lives is not very secure, and as a big man, it is appropriate to pay more responsibility, so I waited for Ning Meixuan to go upstairs.

Ning Meixuan, who had just taken two steps, suddenly stopped leaving, turned her head, and asked me, "Why don't you leave?"

"I won't go up, I'll leave when you get up. I said.

"Where are you staying today?" Ning Meixuan hesitated for a long time and said softly.

"Zhang Zhi, I'm going to make do with it, we used to sleep together when we went to work together. I waved my hand and said, "You don't have to worry about me, you can go up quickly, it's not too early." ”

"You... Can you stay at my house today?"

"What?!" I looked at Ning Meixuan dumbfounded.

"It's not.... I'm scared, I'm afraid of the dark. Ning Meixuan said.

"How can I do that? What should I do if I am alone in a room and let others see me? I'm fine, it's you?" I quickly waved my hand.

There was silence, Ning Meixuan was in the dark, under the light of the dim street lamp, as if staring at me, but she didn't speak.

After a long time, he silently turned around and walked into the dark corridor.

I was at a loss for a moment, standing there, looking at the disappearing back, my heart suddenly panicked, as if something would really happen to Ning Meixuan, I was very uneasy, afraid that Ning Meixuan would disappear.

My heart suddenly hesitated a little, maybe it should be fine, Ning Hao is not at home, I should be able to live in his room.

I was just thinking this, and suddenly, I heard a scream "Ah~~~"

It came from the dark corridor, I was startled, and my first reaction was to rush in immediately, and shouted "Ning Meixuan, are you okay?"
