Chapter 24 Confinement
Knock –
A small fish is thrown into the water, and its fresh life falls into Barbie's mouth within seconds.
Huo Jingyu lost the news of Lin Weihe, and he took the initiative to contact Lin Zhinan.
"Weihe is not here."
"Where is she?"
The sluggishness of Lin Zhinan's silence on the phone made him feel uneasy.
"Ancestral home?" Huo Jingyu asked.
Lin Zhinan sighed: "Yes." ”
"How is she now?"
Lin Zhinan put down the work in his hand and rubbed his sore temples: "I don't know, I hope the old man will be merciful." ”
Huo Jingyu couldn't see it.
Lin Zhinan couldn't see it.
Bai Yu'an couldn't see it.
The edges and corners are also not visible.
The side has been languishing, shrinking in the corner, and the amount of food has also decreased, as a last resort, Huo Jingyu made a nest with Lin Weihe's sweater, and it lay on it to feel her residual breath, and then he recovered a little spirit.
Schools, cafeterias.
Zhao Zirui sat in front of Chen Hewei with the food, seeing that she only made her own meal, he asked, "Don't you help your roommate pack it?" ”
"She said no, she will fight by herself in the future." Chen He took a sip of soup and said.
"It's a miracle." Zhao Zirui picked up the fish on his plate and exchanged it with her chicken legs, Chen He had no opinion, she felt that there was no taste in what she ate.
"Your roommate hasn't been discharged from the hospital yet?" Zhao Zirui asked.
"Well, it's said that the fall was quite bad."
"Tut-tut, rolling down the stairs doesn't matter if you're serious!" He grabbed the chicken leg with his hand and nibbled on it and said, "Recently, the security guard at the school has changed several people. ”
Chen He looked up at him slightly, "Are you still concerned about this?" ”
"Of course, when I was late today, I found that the old security guards who let me in were gone. His colleague said that he was retired, but even the uncle in the laundry room had changed, don't you think it's strange? ”
"Maybe it's a low salary." Chen He bowed his head slightly and ate a few bites of food.
"Anyway, I think the school has been weird lately, there were a few people in suits in the principal's office, and they glared at me when I passed by, and closed the door."
Chen He thought for a while and said, "Actually, I also think there is a little bit of it. She put down her chopsticks and looked at him: "My roommate is going to transfer schools, I don't understand this." ”
"The one who fell downstairs?"
"Yes, it's good to recuperate from an injury for a while, why transfer schools?"
Zhao Zirui thought for a while and said, "Is it that her parents are afraid that she will not be able to keep up with the progress?" ”
"I don't know, the dormitory next door also moved away, and these two people have a good relationship."
"Hmm...... They made an appointment to transfer schools together? Zhao Zirui finished gnawing on the chicken legs, and his hands were full of oil: "Give me a tissue." ”
"Nope."
"You're a girl, you don't have tissues." Zhao Zirui complained.
"It's just running out."
"You can learn how to bring two packs of micro lotus!" After speaking, Zhao Zirui immediately closed his mouth and lowered his head to eat, secretly observing her expression, and the appearance of wanting to ask without asking made people look anxious.
"Ask whatever you want!"
"You said that! You can't be angry when asked, but you have to answer. ”
"Hmm!" Chen He responded impatiently.
Zhao Zirui held the spoon in front of her and pretended to be a microphone: "May I ask Comrade Chen Hewei, why are you angry with Miss Lin Weihe?" ”
Chen He relaxed his back slightly and leaned against the back of the chair: "I'm not angry with her." ”
Zhao Zirui put down his hand and looked incredulous: "Qubble, even Wu Man can see that you are very fierce to her." ”
"I'm mad at myself."
Chen He was slightly depressed, and went to the commissary to buy a bottle of soy milk and sit back.
"Why are you angry with yourself?" Zhao Zirui frowned puzzled.
"Alas, it's just that she has a solid family, and I still told you that her family is poor, and I feel sorry for looking down on her."
Zhao Zirui blinked, "She shouldn't blame you." ”
"I know!" Chen He bit down slightly on the real reason for sucking the pipe: "I don't think I'm qualified to be her friend." ”
"Why do you think that?"
"She's so good, and her family is so good, which point do I deserve?"
"Chen Hewei."
Hearing someone call her, Chen He looked at the source of the sound slightly, Li Yi stood next to her angrily, and said to her: "You don't need to be a good person to make friends, you think so, I'm sorry for Weihe." ”
Still angry, he sat down and told them everything he knew.
In fact, that day, after Lin Weihe ran to the dormitory building, he went back to work, but his warm-hearted personality made him unable to let go of things, he also ran to the girls' dormitory building, and before he got closer, he saw Lin Weihe beating a girl from a distance, and then several people rushed up to pull her away.
He was glad that he was too shocked to pass, so he was saved from being dissuaded as an insider.
"You mean, because Weihe beat people, and then the people who saw her beating were fired, and then the girl who was beaten was also silenced, and her friends also transferred to another school?" Zhao Zirui's eyes widened, his eyes became bigger, he covered his mouth and said, "This is a movie, right?" ”
"It's true, one of the people who persuaded the fight was the laundry uncle." Li Yi said solemnly.
"Why did she hit my roommate?" Chen He put aside his shock and asked strangely.
Li Yi shook his head: "I don't know about this, I have to ask her personally." ”
"But Weihe didn't come for a week, and the teacher said she went back to her hometown to visit relatives." Zhao Zirui said.
"The teacher must not know the situation either." Li Yi looked at Chen Hewei firmly: "Her schoolbag and books are still there, it proves that she will come back, and we will ask her personally when the time comes!" ”
The large windows are sealed by railings, and the green mountains can be seen through the small cracks.
Lin Weihe sat on the iron bench by the door against the wall, her long, thin hair gone.
Empty, cold room, concrete walls, incandescent light, a wooden bed in the center, and a military quilt.
The rice pass on the iron door opened suddenly, and a plate of steaming food was pushed in, "Eat." ”
It was the butler's pretended indifferent voice, and she thanked her and held the dinner plate in her hand. There was no table here, so she had to rest on her lap.
The rice is covered with green vegetables and thin slices of fatty meat. She ate slowly, without resisting, without saying a word.
In the next room, an old man in a gold-striped white robe stared at the monitor with a cane. The well-dressed man standing beside him asked, "What is the little lady's performance today?" ”
The soldier sitting in front of the monitor replied cautiously: "Everything is normal, I can't see joy or sorrow." ”
"What training did you do yesterday?"
"Three-kilometer run, through barbed wire, armed with three kilometers of cross-country." The soldier replied.
The man looked at the majestic old man and waited for his instructions.
The old man spoke, and his voice was deep: "Take her with you for a hundred kilometers, and you don't need her to turn over the mountain realm." After speaking, the old man looked at the man: "You also practice with you." ”
The man bowed his head in resignation.
In the middle of the night, it is even quieter.
Lin Weihe lay on the squeaky wooden bed and wrapped the quilt tightly. There were scratches on the arms and legs under the quilt, and bruises on the calves and knees.
Surrounded by the cold of the emptiness, she was occasionally awakened by the sound of a nameless voice, and in the insecure night she secretly wiped away the tears that she did not dare to shed during the day.
In the south of the city, Huo Jingyu was at home, lying on his lap with a corner corner, and the edge was still shrunk in the corner.
He leaned back on the couch with his eyes closed, his brow unrelieved and looked preoccupied.
The landline bell rang, and he picked it up and connected it.
Liao Kun's voice on the phone was very eager, and people couldn't wait to get out of the phone.
"What's wrong, Sister Liao?"
Liao Kun is at the bottom of the building at the far end of the community at the moment, there are two policemen standing there, a child is sitting on the ground crying, and two parents are communicating with the police.
Liao Ke looked at the poisoned dog on the ground and ordered: "Quickly move your pet elsewhere, I won't give you a place to raise it here!" ”
Huo Jingyu sat up straight: "What happened?" ”
Liao said: "Another dog died, the last time it was thrown downstairs, this time it was poisoned. ”
"Okay, I got it." Huo Jingyu didn't want to know anything more and hung up the phone.
He looked at the lively corners and the edge of the appetite, and made a call to Lin Zhinan.
In the foggy weather, it is difficult to see the top of the skyscraper, which stands in a group of high-rise buildings, rock-solid, showing a different status.
A large and a small dog, squatting at the gate of the magnificence, the appearance of the cute bad guy attracted the attention of the office workers.
Huo Jingyu held the reins and thought that he was going to wait endlessly, and the secretary Qin Lei walked out.
"Mr. Huo."
"Miss Qin."
After a brief polite greeting between the two sides, Huo Jingyu and his two dogs were invited to the top floor of the skyscraper.
After many years, stepping into Lin Zhinan's office is still as luxurious as ever.
"Here we are." A tired voice rang out.
Lin Zhinan did not sit at the desk, but came out of the back room, his hair fluffy and his spirit was atrophied.
Bian excitedly broke free from the reins and threw himself towards Lin Zhinan.
Lin Zhinan squatted down with a smile, hugged its sturdy body, and rubbed its silver-gray hair.
Seeing that the side was resurrected with blood, he should have sent it here.
Lin Zhinan said to Qin Lei at the door: "Get some meat." ”
"Okay." Qin Lei answered, turned around and went out to close the door.
Lin Zhinan came to Huo Jingyu's side, stared at the Jiaojiao in his arms, and said with a smile: "This is Jiaojiao, it's too small." He reached out and touched the fluffy little head.
The horns were left to him, and there was no unpleasantness.
Seeing that he didn't have the tired state just now, Huo Jingyu asked, "Letting pets come up, doesn't it have an impact on your company?" ”
"It won't be affected." Lin Zhinan explained with a smile: "Since Weihe began to raise the border, the company has set up a pet boarding area, so that the pets of employees who live alone have a place to take care of them, so that they will not stay at the door of the house from morning to night." ”
"A new type of employee benefits?"
"Sort of, our company is still very humane."
Qin Lei came in with a bag of jerky and a bowl, Lin Zhinan took it, and sat cross-legged on the ground regardless of the image, pinching the jerky in his hand to feed the side.
Qin Lei silently retreated.
"When will Weihe come back?"
Huo Jingyu's question seems to have brought Lin Zhinan back to a state of malaise.
Lin Zhinan poured some jerky into the bowl, stood up and leaned against the desk: "Tomorrow." ”
The answer was unexpected, "Really? ”
Lin Zhinan nodded, was silent for a few seconds, but his expression was not very good: "She can't live with you." ”
"I know." Huo Jingyu said.
This means that without Lin Weihe, Lin Zhinan will have a lot of excuses to appear in front of him, which is a good thing.
"Have dinner together in the evening?" When Lin Zhinan issued an invitation, he was prepared to be rejected in advance.
When he didn't get a response, he scratched his head boringly: "Forget it, when I didn't ......"
"Beef noodles." Huo Jingyu said.
Lin Zhinan suddenly looked at him with wide and deep eyes, suspecting that he was too urgent, so he had auditory hallucinations: "You...... Did you just speak? ”
"Not really."
"Nope! You said it! He couldn't suppress the joy in his heart and shouted, "You just said beef noodles!" ”
At this time, Lin Zhinan did not have the solemn and serious appearance when he was in charge of thousands of employees, like a big boy who returned to his youth.
"Well, I said that, but I suddenly don't want to eat it."
When Lin Zhinan heard this, he immediately pulled down his smiling face and pretended to be deep: "Then let's eat something else." You wait here for me for five minutes, and I'll have them sent home now, and then we'll go to dinner!" After saying that, he picked up the side and the corner and went downstairs in person, looking as radiant as the two of them half an hour ago.
In the evening, the crowd on the street was large and dense, and Huo Jingyu led Lin Zhinan through one alley after another. Lin Zhinan fell behind and walked sideways through the gap in the crowd, for fear of touching others.
"Hurry up! How can you be more squeamish than Weihe. Huo Jingyu urged.
Finally, the game of dodging the crowd is over, and the two arrive at a beef shop. It was not dark, and the hall was full. Huo Jingyu took the number from the waiter and waited on the side.
"This shop is doing so well?" Lin Zhinan exclaimed.
"The beef is good, the price is affordable, and there are naturally more people." Huo Jingyu said.
Lin Zhinan nodded understandingly: "How long are we going to wait?" ”
Huo Jingyu estimated: "Thirty minutes." ”
Lin Zhinan curled the corners of his mouth and muttered: "It's okay for two hours." ”
Huo Jingyu heard it and narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Lin Zhinan humbly turned his head to look at the scenery.
The return rate of the two is very high, and Lin Zhinan's elite dress and height beyond ordinary people stand out from the crowd, which can attract people from afar. Huo Jingyu's black dress is much more low-key, but his melancholy temperament still attracts the attention of some women.
Lin Zhinan felt the fanatical eyes from all around, he strode to block Huo Jingyu, and faced the gaze of those people himself.
"What are you doing?" Huo Jingyu was inexplicably forced to retreat in the corner by him.
"There's a lot of flies here."
Fly? Huo Jingyu didn't see it, he didn't care about him when he heard the call, and walked to the store, Lin Zhinan strode up to follow when he saw this.
"Five toes, six seconds." Huo Jingyu pushed a plate of beautifully colored beef in front of him.
Lin Zhinan put the beef into a colander according to his request, put it in the hot soup pot, and immediately scooped it up after counting from one to six in his heart.
He seemed to have returned to the days when he went to school with Huo Jingyu when he was a student, and he was a little moved in his heart.
"What are you crying about?" Huo Jingyu looked at his blinking eyes with a cold cold.
"The beef is so delicious."
Huo Jingyu frowned: "You haven't eaten yet." ”
"It's delicious to watch." Lin Zhinan picked up a piece of stuffing and quickly wiped his eyes, "It's really delicious." ”
Both brothers and sisters are sauce stomachs, and Guanglin Zhinan alone concocted seven kinds of sauces.
"We'll come back later." Lin Zhinan said to him with great interest.
"Just this once." Maybe not even this time.
Lin Zhinan once again bowed his head, forget it, he would be very satisfied if he could agree this time.
Huo Jingyu paid the bill, Lin Zhinan did not stop him, nor did he insist on sending him home, respecting his principles in order to have another chance.
A private jet landed safely, Lin Weihe got off the plane and limped out of the airport.
Huo Jingyu was already waiting outside the airport, and he saw Lin Weihe dressed in camouflage from a distance. She lost a lot of weight and couldn't recognize her.
Lin Weihe wanted to run over, but the blisters and blood blisters on her feet were one after another, one by one, and she could only move over slowly, "Brother Jingyu." ”
Her voice was already hoarse, and her tone was lower than any time, and Huo Jingyu asked distressedly, "Are you hungry?" ”
Lin Weihe nodded, "I want to eat meat." ”
"Okay, you can eat as much as you want." Huo Jingyu took her hand to cross the street, and noticed that her hand had become rough, and he clenched it in distress.
Lin Zhinan was waiting in the car, and when he saw them coming, he immediately got out of the car and opened the door.
"Girl, go! Brother will take you to eat beef! ”
Lin Zhinan took her to the beef shop last night, it was still early, so there was no need to queue.
The two watched Lin Weihe eat one plate after another, like a homeless man who had been hungry for a long time.
"Eat slowly, no one will rob you." Lin Zhinan poured her a glass of water.
Lin Weihe took a sip of water and said, "Brother Jingyu, I can go to the wild with you to survive." ”
Huo Jingyu smiled unexpectedly: "Huh? Suddenly it's getting stronger? ”
Lin Weihe proudly raised his chin: "I can already dig a smokeless stove!" ”
Hearing this, Huo Jingyu praised her, but Lin Zhinan frowned tightly on the side.
The small stomach was stuffed with more than a dozen dishes of beef and bowls of rice, and Lin Weihe put down his chopsticks and burped.
"Full?"
Lin Weihe nodded, got up and went to the bathroom.
Huo Jingyu said to Lin Zhinan: "You go home and check on her, I'm afraid she will be injured." ”
Lin Zhinan sighed: "The old man is ruthless enough to cut her hair shorter than me." ”
"Weihe is only a teenager, so she was so thin that she went to the mountains to practice, and I couldn't bear this hardship back then."
Lin Zhinan is a doting type, Huo Jingyu is not, while feeling sorry for her, he is very happy that she has grown up again.
Fully feeling the long-lost warmth, Lin Weihe's endured pain along the way, after Huo Jingyu left, overflowed from his eyes along with the uncontrollable grievances: "Brother, carry me, my feet hurt." ”
Lin Zhinan squatted down and carried her up, "Grinding blood blisters, right?" ”
"Hmm...... Many. Lin Weihe leaned on his shoulder and sniffed, "I haven't taken a shower yet, I'll come back directly after the training." ”
Lin Zhinan wrinkled his nose and said, "I can already smell the rich 'fragrance' in your hair." ”
Lin Weihe laughed hesitantly, "I also let out a stuffy fart just now, do you smell it?" ”
Lin Zhinan's hands loosened and pretended to throw her out, "You really stink." ”
Lin Weihe pulled him tightly and laughed, "I'm going to stink you to death!" ”
The mist had long since lifted, the crescent moon hung high on the branches, and the elder brother walked happily on the slope with his sister on his back, envious of others.
