Chapter 24: Finding Someone
After arriving home, Lin Ai lay on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, his mind was full of Duan Jin's beaten messy face, and the stomach injury that he didn't see.
Dou Yu's kid is not light or heavy, and he doesn't know how serious the beating is, Lin Ai scolded him thousands of times in his heart.
And! If I remember correctly, Duan Jin said that his parents have been separated since the first year of high school, and later divorced in the second year of high school, he has been living alone since very early, and cooking was also slowly learned during this time.
was beaten up inexplicably, and when I got home, I had to slowly lick my wounds alone.
Lin Ai's brain made up for Duan Jin's pitiful appearance, he really couldn't lie down, sat up from the bed awkwardly, and quietly went out at the risk of being beaten by fat.
Walking to the door on tiptoe, for fear of waking up the "beast" in the house, Lin Ai somehow figured out a sense of "cheating".
As a small northern county town on the 18th parallel, S City is extremely not rich in nightlife, so there are no people on the road at about 9 o'clock.
As long as he went out, Lin Ai was fearless, swaggered on his beloved bicycle, and ran out like a hot wheel.
"Love, go out so late, pay attention to safety", the uncle on duty at the entrance of the community saw Lin Ai and instructed.
"Haole, Uncle Yang, come back and bring you something delicious", I heard my mother say that Uncle Yang liked himself since he was a child, and often secretly gave himself candy to eat without telling his mother.
Later, Lin Ai also used his pocket money to buy things for Uncle Yang to eat, maybe this is friendship!
Lin Ai ran out of the house impulsively, and after riding half the way, he realized that he didn't even know where Duan Jin's home was, only which neighborhood his home was in.
"Forget it, let's try our luck in the past", since it has come out, Lin Ai does not plan to give up halfway, and rides over with the impression in his memory.
The pharmacy in the community was still bright, and Lin Ai went in to buy some medicine for bruises and wandered around the community.
The community where Duan Jin lives is a high-end community in S City, the greening is very particular, the lighting is also very sufficient, and there are rich leisure areas.
Lin Ai walked around the community twice, not to mention that he didn't see Duan Jin's figure, and he didn't even see a dog shadow.
Looking at the sparsely lit buildings, Lin Ai suddenly had a bold idea in his mind, staying is also staying, it is better to knock on the door to try his luck.
The benefits of being thick-skinned were reflected at this time, and the emperor lived up to his wishes, and when Lin Ai knocked on the 34th house, he finally got a reliable clue, and Duan Jin lived upstairs.
"Thank you, Auntie," Lin Ai said loudly, and then ran up.
Standing in front of Duan Jin's door, Lin Ai thought to himself, I can be regarded as an old man talking about juvenile madness.
Pressing Duan Jin's door, Lin Ai was still a little apprehensive, I didn't know if he would think of himself as a stalker, and he was perverted to knock on someone's door in the middle of the night.
"Which one", a male voice came from the microphone at the door.
Because of some distortion, Lin Ai is not sure if it is Duan Jin, "Is it Duan Jin"?
"Lin Love"? Duan Jin's voice sounded a little incredulous.
Lin Ai stammered, "Yes. . . Be. Me".
With a click, the phone was decisively hung up, and the air was silent.
Sure enough, it was still a little abrupt, Lin Ai was a little embarrassed, put down the things at the door, walked at the elevator, and reluctantly glanced back.
This look, I didn't expect Lin Ai to really "look away"
Duan Jin was wearing a pair of short-sleeved trousers, a towel around his neck, and although his hair was not dripping, he looked like he had just taken a shower, and his steps were a little hurried.
Lin Aiai, who saw the elevator entrance, seemed to be relieved, "Why are you here?"
Lin Ai looked at the wound on Duan Jin's face, which didn't seem to be treated much, and it was still stained with water, and explained, "I'm here to bring you medicine."
Ding Dong, the elevator that Lin Ai pressed arrived, and the door slowly opened.
Well, to go or not to go, Lin Ai's footsteps hesitated.
"Let's go to my house first", Duan Jin opened his mouth at the right time.
Now that the owner of the house has spoken, Lin Ai is not hesitant and follows generously.
"How do you know where my house is", sitting on the sofa, Duan Jin didn't bend around, and asked straight to the point.
Lin Ai described the process of how he found it step by step to Duan Jin, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all, and his eyebrows fluttered.
Duan Jin listened quietly, and waited for her to finish before asking, "Don't you have my QQ?" Why don't you just ask me"?
Lin Ai suddenly realized when he heard it: "Yes, it's good to ask clearly before going out, I blame myself for being too anxious when I go out", but when I said it, I looked too stupid, and explained: "You didn't send you a message last time, I thought you didn't read QQ, it turns out that you can't read it back."
Duan Jin really didn't read the QQ news much, so he accepted Lin Ai's statement very smoothly.
"It's too late today, wait for me to change your clothes and send you back", Duan Jin said.
Lin Ai looked at the time, it was already 12 o'clock, it was really not early, so he obediently accepted his suggestion. But before leaving, I have to solve the purpose of coming here.
"I bought the medicine, you can deal with the injury a little", Lin Ai said, and after finishing speaking, she felt that she should explain the reason for the matter, and she didn't want Duan Jin to continue to misunderstand the relationship between the two.
"Dou Yu said that he had misunderstood, thinking that there was something between the two of us," Lin Ai said vaguely.
Duan Jin didn't seem to be interested in this question, so he didn't say anything more.
"What, I've broken up with him, in fact, the candy thing is an oolong, everyone is making a fuss."
"I didn't like him, it's just the relationship between friends"
"Actually, he doesn't like me either, it's really just a joke"
Lin Ai scratched his head irritably, not knowing if he understood the explanation.
Duan Jin's usual expression is relatively small, and Lin Ai can't see his thoughts, and his heart is even more bottomless.
"Well, I know", Duan Jin said four more words this time, grabbed the medicine bag that had been thrown aside for a long time, took out a cotton swab and disinfectant water, and dealt with it little by little.
Lin Ai stood aside and watched quietly, as if he had seen something, but in fact, his mind had already thought of something else.
According to Duan Jin's performance so far, he shouldn't like himself yet, even if he likes it, he doesn't like it so much, so now he can only take his time and let him like himself little by little. Don't rush for a while, just in case you scare people away, it's over.
If you want people to like yourself, you must have more opportunities for the two of them to be alone, but Duan Jin usually seems to be only interested in students, and he can do what he likes and get along alone.
"Yes", Lin Ai had an idea and said, "Duan Jin, I have something I want to ask you for help."
"What's the matter, let's talk about it," Duan Jin said.
"It's just that my grades aren't very good, I want you to tutor my homework" Lin Ai hesitated to speak, "I don't need to delay you too much, just half an hour after school."
Duan Jin was not much surprised, she knew that Lin Ai had been interested in studying during this time, and she thought that she had inexplicably bought breakfast for herself during this time because of this.
Duan Jin also logically solved another thing in his heart that he had been wondering about for a long time.
Eating people has a short mouth, and it is also the responsibility of the class leader to help students improve, Duan Jin responded very happily.
"You promised"? Lin Ai didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
"Well, I agreed, but I have one condition," Duan Jinshen said mysteriously.
"Okay, you say", as long as Duan Jin can agree, Lin Ai doesn't worry about anything.
"Since I'm going to help you, I don't want my time to be wasted, which means that the study schedule and time are planned by me, and I have to accomplish the goals I expect."
When Duan Jin's words came out, Lin Ai wondered if he was also soul-piercing, which was almost the same as his tone when he was in a work meeting.
Duan Jin looked at Lin Ai with a frightened look, worried about whether his tone was too harsh, "You can rest assured that the study plan and goals are very reasonable and will not be excessive."
In this way, Lin Ai has no worries at all, and happily responds.
At the end of the night, Lin Ai still didn't go home, and made do with it on the sofa at Duan Jin's house for one night.
It's really a little late, I started at 6 o'clock in the morning, I can't take a taxi so late, I have to draw more than 1 hour of time to go back and forth, and I can't sleep for long.
But the main reason is that when Duan Jin went back to the house to treat wounds in other places, when he came back, he saw a female classmate lying on the sofa without heart and lungs, and fell asleep.
In summer, you don't have to worry about catching a cold, Duan Jin found a blanket and put it on the person's stomach and slept in his own room.
The next day, Lin Ai woke up in shock and accidentally rolled off the sofa because of too much movement.
Yesterday seemed to be waiting for Duan to come, waiting and waiting because I climbed too many stairs, the amount of exercise was too much, and I wanted to lie on the sofa when I was tired, but I didn't expect to fall asleep like this.
Lin Ai once again lamented the benefits of a young body, and the quality of sleep is also good.
The lights were on somewhere in the room, and Lin Ai walked over and found that it was Duan Jin who was looking at something with a book.
Lin Ai was a little surprised, he didn't expect to sleep so late yesterday, and Duan Jin got up so early today to study.
People who are smarter than you also work harder than you, and that's the most desperate.
Duan Jin saw that Lin Ai was also very calm, and said, "Go home", then took his gaze back and continued to look at the book in his hand.
"What are you going back to, it's time for morning self-study soon", Lin Ai rolled his eyes inwardly.
"Do you have a new toothbrush", Lin Ai was not polite, and planned to wash up and run to school.
Duan Jin pointed in the direction of the bathroom, and Lin Ai went satisfied.
A school is another class, and the time is always about the same, so the two went out together.
Duan Jin usually walks to school, while Lin Ai rides a bicycle to sleep a little longer, and he also came by bicycle yesterday.
After a night, it was parked downstairs, and sure enough, the property in the high-end community is good.
"I'll take you to school", Lin Ai patted his back seat, looking like a big brother.
"No need", Duan Jin lightly refused.
Lin Ai didn't force it, and rode away with a smoke, planning to go to the breakfast stall in front of him to buy breakfast for the two of them.
