Chapter 5: The Ghost Lingers
Lin Lu has the habit of morning exercise, the first night she used her mobile phone to find out that there is a newly built sports field near the courtyard, just after five o'clock, the mobile phone alarm clock rang, she changed into jogging shoes and put on headphones and went out.
In the morning, the morning fog was heavy, the visibility was more than ten meters, and Lin Lu ran five laps without seeing a few people.
The sun was rising, peeling away the fog, and people were growing outside the iron fence.
At this time, Jiang Sheng rode a bicycle past the path outside the sports field, Lin Lu's eyes chased after him, and his steps slowed down.
When she rode over, she saw a basket on the back seat of the bicycle, on which were printed the words 'Jinshan Milk'.
“……”
What kind of work is this?
Lin Lu was tired of running, and walked back with a sweat, passing by an early shop, Lin Lu stopped.
She ate it in this house when she was a child, the soy milk is freshly ground, the fritters are fried on the outside and tender on the inside, the boss has not changed, he still frying the fritters around a coarse cloth apron, and the proprietress greets the guests neatly. Except for the storefront, the people have not changed, and in this unpredictable world, it is rare to stay the same.
Lin Lu wants to taste it or it is not the taste of the past.
As soon as she entered, there were many people in the store early, and the customers occupied all the places near the window, so she could only sit at the door.
"Boss, a bowl of soy milk and two fritters."
"Come on, find your own place to sit."
After greeting her, the proprietress picked up the plate and picked up two freshly fried fritters for Lin Lu, and the soy milk was quickly served on the table.
Lin Lu picked up a fritter, dipped it in soy milk, and watched the excitement on the street while eating, and coincidentally found the Jinshan milk station opposite.
She looked at the sign, chewing slowly.
The street is not wide, the street is bustling, when Lin Lu ate half of the fritters, a bicycle stopped at the milk station opposite, Jiang Sheng got off the car and trotted up the steps.
Lin Lu vaguely heard him call the man at the door of the milk station 'Brother Sui'.
"It's going to be a quick day."
"I'll send it early if I have something to do in a while."
The man called Brother Sui lifted the curtain behind him, "Go into the house and rest for a while." ”
When the two entered the milk station, Lin Lu withdrew his eyes, picked up a spoon and scooped up soy milk to drink.
When Jiang Sheng stood up from the milk, he raised his eyes and saw Lin Lu opposite.
“!” He was stunned at first.
Standing in place and staring at Lin Lu for two seconds, he took out the cigarette from his pocket and tilted his head to look at her.
It's really haunting.
Lin Lu saw the disdain in his eyes, and he didn't shy away from anything, picked up the bowl, raised it towards him, and did it first as a respect.
"......" Jiang Sheng turned his face away and smiled.
Some encounters are predestined, and they can't be avoided.
From the moment he took the first step, Jiang Sheng understood this truth.
Jiang Sheng stared at her, saw that people drank most of the bowl of soy milk, put down the bowl and clicked his mouth with a bad taste, he gritted his teeth and spat out the cigarette, threw half of the cigarette to the ground, crushed the tip of his shoe hard, and walked over.
Jiang Sheng sat opposite Lin Lu.
"Aunt Zhen, a bowl of soy milk, four fritters."
Lin Lu looked at the arm-length fritters on his plate, can you eat four?
"Xiaosheng is here."
Listening to this tone again, the proprietress is very familiar with Jiang Sheng.
There was another bowl of soy milk on the table, Jiang Sheng took out the chopsticks from the chopsticks basket in her hand, the fritters came up, he picked up a bite, and took a bowl to drink the soy milk. While chewing, he said:
"What are you doing with me?"
Lin Lu's answer was straightforward:
"Curious."
"......" Jiang Sheng's chewing cheeks were slow and slow, and he didn't believe her.
Lin Lu observed his changes, his face was cold, and the bruises on the corners of his mouth also faded.
Jiang Sheng continued to eat again, and Lin Lu didn't mention it again.
He devoured the four fritters, got up and took out the change from his trouser pocket and slapped it on the table.
"Aunt Zhen, the money is on the table."
The proprietress hurriedly put down the rag and came over to collect the money, and Lin Lu also stood up and settled the account together.
The two of them went out of the morning shop one after the other, and Lin Lu walked behind and asked:
"You're a child from a welfare home?"
Child? Jiang Sheng turned around, "You look at me, like a child?" ”
Lin Lu didn't care about his displeasure, only heard Jiang Sheng say again: "What do you want to do?" ”
She ...... "Curious. ”
This answer made Jiang Sheng feel like an idiot.
It's fucking, "Boring." ”
Lin Lu asked him, "How old are you?" ”
Jiang Sheng ignored her.
"If you're in a welfare home, you shouldn't be under 18 years old?"
Jiang Sheng stood still abruptly and stared at her coldly, "What do you want to say?" ”
The tighter he was, the more lazy she became, her eyes like a cat basking in the sun, squinting and crooked.
"What kind of thing can you do as a minor?"
"That kind of thing?" He repeated, "What kind of thing? ”
Lin Lu is a strong person when he encounters strength, the tail of his fox-like eyes is raised, and his moist eyes are full of looks that you can't fathom.
In the sun, she looks beautiful.
I don't know if it's because of her exercise, her begonia-colored cheeks have a girlish luster, she sweats, but it doesn't smell bad, her wet hair is dry, sticking to her face, making people with obsessive-compulsive disorder itch and want to help her take it away.
Lin Lu repeated again, "You, can you do that kind of work?" ”
Jiang Sheng's eyes sank, and he bit his cheeks and puffed out.
"Nobody cares about you?" Lin Lu had no intention of stopping.
"......" Jiang Sheng turned around and left.
"You didn't graduate, did you?"
The questions were one after another, and Jiang Sheng was so upset that he couldn't form an army.
"Are you the first high school or the second high school in Jincheng?"
The person walking in front suddenly stopped, and Lin Lu braked sharply behind him, almost hitting him on the back.
Jiang Sheng turned his head angrily and pointed at the tip of Lin Lu's nose, "Are you sick, are you annoying!" ”
Lin Lu lowered his eyes and looked at the hand in front of the tip of his nose, and took out his mobile phone casually, "You said how about I call Dean Fang?" ”
"You ......" his back molars creaked, his fingertips trembled, and the whites of his scarlet eyes made his anger clear.
"You dare!" Throwing down a sentence, Jiang Sheng left angrily.
Lin Lu said to his back, "You see if I dare." ”
The moment she pressed the number, Lin Lu was very determined, and she walked in the direction of the courtyard, her steps were light and fluttering, like an elegant cat.
"Hey, Dean Fang? I'm Lin Lu...... Hello, there is something I want to trouble you...... Is there a person named Jiang Sheng in your welfare home, and a friend of mine wants to adopt him...... Well? It's over...... Is he in school now? …… Okay, you send me his information, my friend has a wide range of connections, and he can take care of him. ”
Half an hour later, Lin Lu got Jiang Sheng's information.
Jiang Sheng, 18 years old, parents unknown, was rescued from a street begging gang by the police at the age of 14.
It turned out that Jiang Sheng was abducted by an organization that specialized in child theft and begging, and the person who adopted him was called Cao Laowu, who was later rescued by the police at the police station, but his family was not found, and then sent to the Jincheng Welfare Institute.
Lin Lu's eyes rolled, no wonder he could get her room card. She continued to look down, her gaze stopped at the last line of words, and she is currently studying in the fashion design department of Jincheng Academy of Fine Arts.
“!” Studying design? I really didn't expect it.
After reading Jiang Sheng's information, Lin Lu pinched his mobile phone and tapped it in his palm, and the picture of meeting Jiang Sheng for the first time gradually appeared in his mind.
He is a clean teenager, white T and black pants, with a slender figure, and when he smiles at you, he shows two cunning little tiger teeth, and his signature smile is unforgettable.
It's just that when the woman appeared in the picture, Lin Lu frowned, threw the phone on the bed, and stepped out of the threshold to take a bath in the bathroom.
