Volume II, Chapter 8: The Familiar Stranger

Intuition told Lin Peng that there must be some kind of connection between the black necklace and this person named Dugu Shuqin, but

What the specific connection is, he is not clear for the time being.

"Why don't you give us a call and ask?"

Thinking like this, Lin Peng immediately dialed this number called Dugu Shuqin girl.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is empty, please check before dialing. ”

However, to my surprise, there was a prompt on the other end of the phone that the number was empty.

Empty number?!

Lin Peng felt even more surprised, and couldn't help but check the call record with this person. I was stunned to find that the day before I left school, I was talking to this person named Dugu Shuqin! And the talk time was a full minute!

"How, how can this be?! I don't have any impression of the people who spoke two days ago!"

Lin Peng finally noticed something unusual, and soon, he thought again that there seemed to be a fault in the memory of that day two days ago.

"Could it be... After Zhang Zhiping left that day, I just went to find this person?!"

The more Lin Peng thought about it, the more shocked he became, and quickly called Zhang Zhiping.

"Hey?!Are you there?!"

After the phone was connected, Lin Peng couldn't wait for the other party to speak, so he couldn't wait to ask.

"Yes, are you home?"

Zhang Zhiping's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I arrived yesterday, let me ask you, do you know a person named 'Dugu Shuqin'?!"

"Who?!"

"Dugu Shuqin!"

Lin Peng repeated it again.

"I don't know, I haven't heard of it, we don't have this person in our class. Why are you asking me this all of a sudden?"

Zhang Zhiping paused for a moment and said.

"Nothing... Okay... I got it....."

Lin Peng sighed, hung up the phone, and the clue was interrupted again.

Isn't this guy from our school? but... I remember it.....

In Lin Peng's mind, he vaguely remembered that after Zhang Zhiping left, he called someone. is undoubtedly this person named Dugu Shuqin, he must know each other, and the relationship should be relatively familiar. Why can't I remember?

"Forget it, let's ask when we get to school when school starts. ”

Lin Peng thought about it in bed for a long time and still couldn't come up with a clue, so he decided to put this matter aside for the time being.

The next day, Lin Peng's father, Lin Xiao, held a banquet at home and invited many elders of the Lin family to come over for dinner. During the banquet, Lin Peng was also introduced one by one. Lin Peng was laughing and pouring wine on the one hand, and he was busy all morning.

"Xiao Zi, Lin Peng is really looking more and more like you now, look at those eyebrows and eyes, they are simply carved out of the same mold as you!"

During the banquet, an elder said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's true. ”

The people also agreed to the Word.

Lin Xiao was very happy when he heard this, and hurriedly said to Lin Peng, "Why don't you hurry up and pour wine for your second master?"

"Okay, Second Master, I usually come back less, it's rare to be able to eat with all the elders today, you want to drink well!"

Lin Peng said, picking up a glass of wine and drinking it all.

"Good!"

Seeing this, everyone also applauded.

"It's worthy of being a member of the Lao Lin family, look!

Lin Peng found that after a period of training at school, his alcohol consumption had also grown a lot.

My grandson has been well-behaved since he was a child, and he has the sweetest mouth when he looks at everyone. ”

Seeing this, Lin Peng's grandmother was happy in her heart, and she also said with a smile.

"This kid is kind-hearted and likable. Even small animals love to be close to him. When he was a child, he often talked to birds, and a group of small animals circled around him. ”

"Grandma, I could still talk to animals when I was a kid?!"

Lin Peng couldn't help but ask curiously, this was the first time he had heard of this.

"Ahem!"

Lin Peng's grandmother seemed to have said something that shouldn't be said, and Lin Sheng suddenly stretched out his hand and coughed.

"No, no, grandma's joke....."

Lin Peng's grandmother also seemed to realize that she had said something wrong, so she quickly stopped and smiled a little awkwardly.

"Oooh. ”

Lin Peng nodded, but he was a little suspicious in his heart.

Why do you feel like grandpa they are hiding something from me?

After staying at home for a few days, Lin Peng went to the county town and played with his high school classmates for a few days. I haven't seen him for a while, and Lin Peng feels that the boys have not changed much, and the girls have become able to dress up! There were a few girls in the class before, and Lin Peng felt that he was also average, but after the party, he found that it was very different from before. With my hair and makeup, I really feel like a different person! I look much better than before.

"Lin Peng, I heard that your father is going to open a branch in the city?"

At the dinner table, a classmate suddenly asked.

"Damn!Where did you hear that?!"

Lin Peng was a little shocked, he only learned about the news after he came back, and he didn't know where he heard about it?

"Look at what you said, what is the relationship between my dad and your dad?

The classmate smiled and solved the doubts in Lin Peng's heart.

"Yes, I heard my dad say that he plans to open a shop in the city, and the family and county business will be handed over to the uncles in the clan to help take care of it. ”

"Hey, your dad is really amazing, I guess I'll have to change the car again in a few years. ”

"I think too much, I can't make a lot of money in a small business. ”

Lin Peng waved his hand and said lightly, not too interested in this topic. After all, no matter how many stores are opened, it is also his father's ability, and it has nothing to do with himself. Lin Peng doesn't want to live under his father's halo all the time, he wants to rely on his own hands to get the recognition of others.

After eating, all the students went to KTV to sing together, and everyone also put down all their thoughts and sang happily. However, compared to the open play of his classmates, Lin Peng seemed a little unable to let go. A man drank wine there, as if he had something on his mind.

"What are you thinking?"

Suddenly, a female classmate sat over and asked with some curiosity.

This girl's name is Liu Lu, and she is a female classmate who had a good relationship with Lin Peng in high school. Their relationship is a bit similar to that of confidantes, they were at the same table when they were in school before, and Liu Lu once gave Lin Peng a lot of help in his studies. Although Lin Peng did not do well in the college entrance examination in the end, this did not affect the relationship between them.

"Nothing, I've been running into something strange lately. ”

Lin Peng said with a smile.

In fact, he has been thinking about who the girl named Dugu Shuqin is.

"Oooh. ”

Liu Lu nodded thoughtfully.

"How are you at school?"

Lin Peng changed the topic and asked.

"Not yet, what about you? Have you found the girl you like?"

Liu Lu asked with a smile.

"I haven't yet. ”

Lin Peng said.

"By the way, the last time you told me that you overslept on the train when you went to school, what happened to you?

Liu Lu suddenly remembered the interesting thing Lin Peng had told him last time, and asked curiously.

"Later?"

Lin Peng was stunned for a moment, and the hand holding the wine glass suddenly became tighter.

Afterward... How did I get back?.....
