Chapter010 Familiar Strangers
"But asking about a girl's privacy won't be hated, right?" In a moment, Xu Zhengchen's brain made up hundreds of possible outcomes.
"The eggplant pot will take a while, you two will wait a little longer." Although Su Yuxi couldn't hear what was said, Xu Zhengchen also knew that the two had not been talking face-to-face for a long time.
"If she doesn't ask again, when there are more people, she will be even more reluctant to answer questions." Xu Zhengchen scratched his head with both hands impatiently, "It's out." β
I want to ask you one thing.
What's up?
A new sentence was added to the notebook handed by Su Yuxi.
"That, Su Yuxi, you ......" Xu Zhengchen looked at her delicate and soft appearance, and the words in his heart didn't know where to start for a while, "What's your phone number?" β
If Su Yuxi's phone number can be asked, it will definitely be a major progress for the follow-up contact with her family, Xu Zhengchen thinks so.
However, the anxious wait only received a small reply from Su Yuxi.
I don't have a cell phone.
"Don't have a phone?" Xu Zhengchen looked at her with a shocked expression, but the words in the notebook were clearly written, and there was not a single typo.
According to the previous logic, if Su Yuxi really ran away from home, why didn't he bring communication tools with him?
Not only that, but in addition to a fairy tale book, the only decoration bag she brought was a pile of scattered puzzle pieces, which Xu Zhengchen accidentally glimpsed when he was cleaning the second floor.
The hidden truth is somewhat suspicious.
"And what about your family's phone numbers?" Xu Zhengchen turned the notebook and pushed it to her hand against the desktop.
Su Yuxi seemed to have touched the weakness of his heart, and the signature pen he held in his right hand fell on the table, and the only response to him was to shake his head. Obviously, Su Yuxi refused to answer his question.
The familiar and strange girl in front of her, compared with Su Yuxi, who tried on a long skirt in the clothing store that day and smiled at the temple in the park, her personality is simply like two people.
Which one is the real her?
Maybe she can't stay here for a long time, even if Xu Zhengchen chooses not to do anything, her family will post a missing person notice, and it is only a matter of time before she finds someone.
For the sake of her safety, she will contact the nearby police station tomorrow?
He tried to stop his high-speed brain, and finally finished dealing with Lin Jiahan's trivial matters, but he got himself involved in complicated things again, and his body felt a little unbearable after a day of fatigue.
"Hiss......" Xu Zhengchen covered his painful head, and the uncomfortable feeling spread all over his body.
At this time, Jiang Yizhe walked back to the hall with heat-insulated gloves and brought the eggplant pot to the table in front of him:
"The dish is ready, let's eat it while it's hot."
"I'm sorry, Lao Zhe, I'm not feeling well, so I'll go to sleep first." Xu Zhengchen found a reason to prevaricate.
"What's wrong with you, nerd? Your face looks terrible. Jiang Yizhe stared at Xu Zhengchen's back as he went upstairs and asked.
Before the words fell, Jiang Yizhe's eyes went back and forth between Xu Zhengchen and Su Yuxi, and these two people made him scratch his head for the first time.
"Can anyone explain what happened?"
Su Yuxi, who was in the seat, didn't say a word, and his appearance seemed to others to be preoccupied.
I'm sorry.
The next morning, there is a taste of the restaurant.
Su Yuxi went out to buy ingredients earlier, and Jiang Yizhe and Xu Zhengchen were left in the store to take care of them. The two were about to open their doors when a taxi pulled up on the side of the road in front of them.
"Yo, uncle, I'm back early." As the window glass was slowly pulled down, Zhang Yufeng in the back seat of the car took off the sunglasses he was wearing.
"Have you missed me these days?"
"Nope." Xu Zhengchen put his hand in his trouser pocket and said coldly.
"How ruthless, you young man." Zhang Yufeng, who got out of the car, put his sunglasses into his jacket pocket and said helplessly.
"You are the Jiang Yizhe that young people often mention, right?" Zhang Yufeng held Jiang Yizhe's hand with both hands, "Fortunately, I will be lucky." β
"Ah...... Hello uncle. β
Originally, he would have echoed Zhang Yufeng's jokes, but today he was in no mood to talk to others, and his strength to refute was saved a lot.
"Eh, you look so handsome and sunny, you really have the style of my uncle back then." Zhang Yufeng smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Thank you, uncle......" Jiang Yizhe seemed to smile, with a hint of embarrassment in his politeness.
In the middle of the conversation, Xu Zhengchen withdrew from the two of them and walked to the trunk of the taxi.
The box contained a large number of vegetable bags and tropical fruits that had just been imported from abroad, but no meat products.
Xu Zhengchen lifted the bag and walked to the kitchen.
β¦β¦
The sunny weather lasted only a few days, and the city of Qianxia ushered in the passage of a strong typhoon, which had a direct impact on the rainy weather.
After the end of the days of running the restaurant as an agent, everyone returned to their normal rhythm of life.
One day in late Juneβ
The overcast sky was still pouring down, and the continuous waves of rain flooded the streets of the city, and the light summer seemed to be damp and gray again after a long period of heat. Countless raindrops crashed against the transparent window next to the door, leaving wet water marks on the glass surface, and the gradual fog blurred the vision.
A short-haired girl is sheltering from the rain under the canopy of a restaurant, her summer school uniform soaked and her school bag not protected from the rain.
Xu Zhengchen didn't notice the girl at first, but just concentrated on cleaning the floor of the hall, and Su Yuxi nearby was wiping the oil stain on the dining table, and the two seemed to be deliberately staggering.
"There seems to be someone out there." Zhang Yufeng noticed the girl outside the store who was about to open the door, so he reminded.
Groov.
"Welcome, what would you like to eat?" Xu Zhengchen approached and asked.
"I want to eat something...... Small, small tide? As soon as the strange girl entered the door, she made a surprised sound.
"Well, I'm sorry, we don't sell snacks in the store. But there is Jiasha County next door, you can ......"
"It's really Xiaoxi! How did you end up here? The girl was rusty with sign language.
The weather was so good, Xu Zhengchen looked at the sky outside in embarrassment.
"You are?" Su Yuxi gestured with his hand.
"Don't you remember me?" The short-haired girl stretched her hands wide, "I'm He Xiao, we were classmates in elementary school." β
