Chapter 7 Chu Lei
5:30 a.m.
Chen Tao suddenly felt like a dream. It had been a long time since he had woken up so early. Today, Monday, there are just over two hours left before class. Ermeng went to sleep, and he couldn't enter the Star Dream Space to attend classes. Although he had been in class in Dream Space for one night, he was in good spirits and didn't feel tired at all. I'm afraid I can't sleep.
Now that you're awake, just go out and exercise.
If you want to be a star, you can't do it without a good body. He didn't want to be unable to resist because of his body, and he ended up with the same fate as the former owners of Ermeng.
…… Although the affairs of those seniors have little to do with whether they have a good body or not.
And what happened yesterday, he also wanted to talk to his good brother.
After a brief wash, Chen Tao put on a new band-aid on the wound on his hand, then changed into a white T-shirt and sports shorts, and pushed the door out.
The streets were deserted. Only the street lights were lit quietly.
There was some humidity in the air. He took a few breaths, spread his legs, and jogged along the road.
Looking at the receding street lights along the road, he felt his body function gradually awaken. A sensation of heat slowly radiates from the inside of the body to the limbs.
After running for a while, the sky was faintly bright. The street lights went out silently.
When Chen Tao ran to the gate of the Dijing Academy of Arts, the whole sky was pulled down by the light rope, and it was all lit up at once.
Chen Tao said hello to the uncle in the guard room, and then ran towards the depths of the campus. On the road, several students who got up early and went for a morning run appeared one after another. He ran to the school track and field, and there were more people. There are more boys and fewer girls.
A girl with a long ponytail and a simple T-shirt and shorts ran up to her. On the young and beautiful face, a thin layer of sweat is full of youth.
The girl looked straight ahead, and when she was about to run in front of Chen Tao, she suddenly stopped, rubbed her eyes, and looked incredulous.
Chen Tao slowly ran towards her, smiled and nodded. Just as he was staggering past the girl, he heard the girl scream excitedly: "Ahhh
Chen Tao crossed the girl, raised his hand behind her back and waved, his feet did not stop, and continued to run forward. I only heard the girl behind me shouting: "Ahh
Seeing that many people on the track and field who were exercising in the morning looked in the direction where he was. He had no choice but to speed up his pace and run out of the track and field to the lake on the other side, where there were fewer people.
After sprinting for a while, Chen Tao slowed down his pace and jogged for a while before stopping at the lake.
The Teikyo Academy of Arts has a large body of water, and large areas of lotus flowers are planted in the water.
In the early morning of summer, the green lotus leaves cover the surface of the lake.
In the center of this lake on the edge of the athletic field, a lake pavilion was built.
Chen Tao looked from a distance, and there was a person in the pavilion, wearing a black cap, who was dancing to the beat. Looking at the figure, it was exactly the person he was looking for. So, he walked towards the pavilion.
The people in the Pavilion in the middle of the lake were immersed in their own world, and they didn't notice anyone approaching.
Chen Tao leaned on the pillar, quietly watching the person in front of him keep turning his body, expanding his chest, kicking his legs, and stepping on the ground with his feet in various complicated steps. The dance is wild and rhythmic.
It took a few moments before the man stopped and took off his headphones. When he turned around and saw Chen Tao, a touch of surprise flashed on his resolute and handsome face, the corners of his mouth grinned, revealing a row of snow-white teeth, and he said with a slight reproach: "Taozi! ”
Chen Tao walked up, shook hands with the man and hugged his fists, collided with each other on his shoulders, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with me running by myself, it's not good." You worry less. I've always heard you say that you secretly practiced dancing here in the morning avoiding your mother. I went for a morning jog, just in time to come over to see if you were bluffing me. ”
"You didn't burn your head in the morning, did you?" The man pretended to be shocked and put his hand in front of Chen Tao's forehead, and said in an exaggerated tone: "I don't have a fever." Usually you won't get up until I go and smash your door. What's going on today?"
This buddy who goes to Chen Tao's house every day to slam the door and wake him up is Chen Tao's little Chu Lei, and he is also his only real good brother.
Speaking of Chu Lei, the whole person is the same as his name, like a stone. He was tall, muscular, bronzed, tough and handsome, and his temper was as hard as a stone.
Chen Tao shook Chu Lei's hand away, "Go to the side." You know the password to open the door of our house, and you have to slam the door. Besides, sir, it's because I practice the piano until late at night every night, and I don't sleep for a while during the day. ”
"Come on, you!" Chu Lei rolled his eyes disdainfully, put his butt on the ground, picked up the water bottle on the ground, took a sip, handed it to Chen Tao, saw the band-aid in Chen Tao's hand, and asked: "What's the matter? I didn't hear about your hand injury in last night's communication." ”
"It's just a scrape. It's a trifle. Chen Tao took the bottle, took a sip, wiped his mouth casually, sat down next to Chu Lei, and said, "Pig, when I went to see my parents yesterday, I knew something. ”
Chu Lei tilted his head, saw Chen Tao's serious face, couldn't help but straighten his expression, and asked, "What?"
"The accident I had three years ago may not have been a simple traffic accident, but a deliberate car accident. Chen Tao frowned and said.
Chu Lei frowned in surprise and said seriously: "What's the matter?"
"It's complicated. Due to some limitations, I can't explain it to you. But it is almost certain that the accident was not an accident. Chen Tao crossed his hands on his knees and hung his head.
Chu Lei put one hand on Chen Tao's shoulder, patted it hard, and asked in a deep voice, "Then what do you want to do?"
"I'd like to find someone to help me find out what happened three years ago and see if I can find any clues. Chen Tao turned his head and found that Chu Lei's face was on the side of his face, and slapped him in disgust, "Get away!
Chu Lei smirked twice, hugged Chen Tao again, put his face next to Chen Tao's head, and said solemnly: "This matter is on me." My cousin was in the traffic police department, and asked him to help check the files of the year to see if there were any suspicious points...... I'll look for a private investigator and check if there's anything missing from other aspects. ”
Three years ago, after Chen Tao's accident, Chu Lei has always felt guilty. Because he and Chen Tao live close to each other and their parents know each other well, the two friends have been in class and out of school together every day since the first day of kindergarten.
But the day three years ago was the last day of the Imperial Continent Intermediate Entrance Examination. After the last exam, he wrote a love letter and was anxious to confess to the little lesbian table who was about to part ways, so he didn't go with Chen Tao and let Chen Tao go home alone.
Unexpectedly, that day, he was rejected by the little girl's tablemate and failed to confess. He wanted to cry to Chen Tao, but he saw Chen's mother driving out in a hurry at the door of Chen Tao's house. Then, he learned that Chen Tao did not go home at all, but had a car accident on the way home and was sent to a nearby hospital for rescue.
At that time, his mind was blank, and he climbed into Chen's mother's car in a daze, and rushed to the hospital with Chen's mother. He came back to his senses when he stood outside the door of the operating room and looked at the words "under surgery" that were lit up. Seeing Chen's mother crying at the door of the operating room, he was so remorseful that he slammed his head against the wall, smashing the snow-white wall. If Chen's father hadn't stopped him, maybe he would have been sent to the emergency room because of the hole in his head.
Later, the doctor wanted to take him to bandage, but he refused to leave alive or dead, and he had to guard the door of the operating room. The doctor had no choice but to take a first-aid kit to help him urgently treat his wound at the door of the operating room.
It wasn't until Chen Tao's operation was over and after learning that everything went smoothly that he obediently went to the emergency department and got six stitches on his head. Now when he takes off his hat, he can still see the scar on his head at that time.
"Private detective, do you still have this way?" Chen Tao said, stretching out his arm again, and pushed Chu Lei's head aside.
Chu Lei rubbed his hair and said with a wry smile: "It's not that you don't know the situation in my family." My mom always felt like my dad had someone out there. A private detective, she changed again and again, always trying to find some clues. ”
Chen Tao sighed lightly and patted Chu Lei's shoulder hard.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.
