Chapter 31: Mom, Brother, and Me
"Have you ever seen a girl who is about 1.5 meters tall and has two ponytails and looks very cute?"
"No, I don't see it."
"Sorry for the interruption."
……
"Huh! Excuse me, uncle, have you ever seen a good-looking girl in a white dress pass by here, she lives in this neighborhood! ”
"There are old men and old ladies in this community, how can there be any little girls, are you mistaken?"
"Well, that's fine."
……
"Grandma, did you see ......?"
"I didn't see it, I didn't see it, I'm in a hurry to go home and cook, don't get in the way."
"I'm sorry ......"
……
When Lu Yunfeng dragged his tired body and walked home, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
"How? Did you find Xiao Yao? Zhang Xiaomei ran out of the room and asked anxiously.
"No, I've asked all of them, and no one has seen her." Lu Yunfeng sat on the ground dejectedly, and his whole person seemed to be overdrawn. Although there are many dreams in this world that he has to pursue desperately, his relatives around him are still his eternal snuggles. When Li Jiayao really had no news, he found that he was not interested in anything.
"It's all you! What do you want to be angry with her! ”
"It's all my fault, it's my fault."
Zhang Xiaomei's fist fell on Lu Yunfeng's chest like raindrops, and he accepted it all without hiding at all. Maybe the physical pain would have made him feel better, but it didn't. If he couldn't find Li Jiayao, he would never give up.
waited until Zhang Xiaomei was tired, and then he said: "Mom, you wait for her to come back at home, and I'll go out for a while." If you can't find it, call the police immediately! ”
"Then what are you still rubbing around here, go find her!"
……
……
At the beginning of the lanterns, only a few households in the Hongxing Community where Lu Yunfeng's house is located are still lit up.
This is an extremely aging community, so the schedule is completely different from that of the modern metropolis of Pingjing. The strange atmosphere spread here, and the cold wind that blew from time to time made Lu Yunfeng can't help but tighten his clothes.
Where will Li Jiayao go?
Lu Yunfeng looked at the sky and suddenly saw that Polaris was exuding a faint luster in the night sky. When he was a child, Lu Yunfeng heard a fable that if he got lost one day, then as long as he kept walking in the direction of the North Star, he would always find the direction of home.
If you go in this direction, will you be able to find her?
Lu Yunfeng's heart was moved, and then he walked in the direction of the shining stars. It was an area out of the Red Star Community, with two small five-story buildings leaning against each other at a 90-degree angle. In the center of them, there is a flagpole with a red flag on it. Although the night was a little dark, Lu Yunfeng could still tell that this was a junior high school based on the composition of the area, and the name was Red Star Junior High School.
Opposite the Red Star Primary School, there is a training class with lights on. Lu Yunfeng still remembers that when he was young, Zhang Xiaomei would put him in the training class when he was working overtime. So relieved, he walked towards the training class.
"Excuse me, sir, are you here to pick up the child?"
Seeing Lu Yunfeng walking in without asking, the teacher on duty in the training class rushed to ask.
"I'm so young like having children? I just want to go in and check it out! With that, Lu Yunfeng walked inside.
"I'm sorry, we can't just go in and see it if we don't have a registration here."
"But I'm in a hurry! I just wanted to go in and see if my sister was inside! Lu Yunfeng said hurriedly, and instantly raised the volume several times to startle the teacher on duty.
"Tell me what your sister's name is, and I'll check the record for you here......"
"I just want to go in and have a look!"
The sound of Lu Yunfeng and the teacher on duty arguing resounded in the training class, and teachers and students poked their heads out one after another.
……
"Who is this? What are you arguing about? ”
"Teacher, isn't it still out of class?"
"Well, you go to the house first, and the teacher is here to guard."
……
Several teachers and students whispered at the door of the house, and Lu Yunfeng looked over, but there was no one he expected.
However, just as he was about to give up, a voice as clear as an angel suddenly came from the room of the training studio.
"Brother?!"
Lu Yunfeng turned his head suddenly, only to see that the person was indeed Li Jiayao, and she was still holding a paintbrush in her hand.
"It's really you!!"
"If it's not me, will it still be a phantom......" Li Jiayao said softly, half of her body shrunk into the room. Seeing Lu Yunfeng walking towards her aggressively, a trace of self-blame immediately appeared on her face.
Indeed, her original intention of coming here was just to make Lu Yunfeng worry, and then regret not accompanying her home. But she stayed in the studio and suddenly forgot the time, not knowing that it was already more than nine o'clock.
"Oh, little cub, you're still here with a poor mouth! Come out and see if I don't hit you! Lu Yunfeng said, just as he wanted to rush forward, the teacher on duty hurriedly ran over and blocked him.
"Sir, calm down, you can say something well, don't keep fighting!"
"This is a matter of mine at home, please let me go!"
"But she's also our student here, and besides, it's been a long time since we've seen such a talented student in the Red Star Training Class."
Hearing this, Lu Yunfeng frowned and said, "Talented? What is talented? I think she's naughty, but she's quite talented! ”
"Ahem, then you should also see the excellent side of the child......" The teacher on duty glanced at Li Jiayao and said, "Quickly take out your work and show it to your brother." ”
"Oh!"
Li Jiayao glanced at Lu Yunfeng's flushed face guiltily, and then hurried to her drawing board and took down the work she had spent a night complete. She carefully held it in her hand, then bit her lip and walked in front of Lu Yunfeng.
"Brother, please don't be angry......"
With that, she slowly unfolded the painting in her hand.
There are three characters on the top of the picture, although they are drawn in a comic rather than realistic way, Lu Yunfeng still recognized them at a glance as their family. Zhang Xiaomei, who was wearing an apron, stood in the middle, her head resting on Lu Yunfeng's shoulder, and her other hand hugged Li Jiayao, who was smiling like a flower. This is a simple family photo, but after Lu Yunfeng saw it, he felt that his nose was sour, and he wanted to be angry but had no way to blame it.
"Stupid, what am I going to say about you...... What a loss to you......"
