I nodded, "I will." ”

The captain was there urging Uncle Tao to leave, but Uncle Tao had already turned around, and he was about to stop and say to me: "Bao, promise uncle, don't let Tao Jing get involved in these things, if it's dangerous, let Tao Jing transfer schools." You said you were capable of doing it. Uncle also believes in you. ”

I nodded. I promised Uncle Tao, and when the third year of high school started, I personally sent Tao Jing on the train to other cities.

When I came back from the funeral home, it was already night. My mom is ready to go to work. She looked at me and hurriedly said, "What's the matter with you kid?" I didn't answer your phone calls, and I didn't see anyone early in the morning. Okay, okay, you can tell Tao Tao to come down and eat together. I went to work. Hey, what about Xia Bing? ”

"He went to his relative's."

"Alright, let's go eat."

My mom left and closed the door. Tao Jing had already run down from the stairs and stood at the staircase looking straight at me, and asked coldly, "Where is Xia Bing?" ”

He ...... I went out with him to meet his classmate, and then he went to play with his classmate. I'll be back on my own. ”

"Lie!"

I immediately laughed and said, "Yes, I admit it, I had a bit of a conflict with him, and then I hit him." Then he angrily followed his classmate and left. ”

"Brother Xia Bing won't be like this!"

"Tao Jing, I think you're a bit preconceived, why wouldn't he? Didn't you say he wouldn't take drugs before? As it turned out, he did take drugs. Tao Jing, time is changing, and people will also change. Don't always dwell on what you used to think of him. ”

"You're hiding a lot from me! Ji Chengbao! If you don't make Brother Xia Bing's matter clear today, I'll leave! I'll go back to my house! It's not like I don't have a home, I have to rely on yours. Tao Jing said that she was about to leave, so I quickly stood in front of the door and stopped the door: "Tao Jing, Tao Jing, Tao Jing, Tao Jing, listen to my explanation." ”

"I'm trying to make you lie. Brother Xia Bing took drugs before, you said it, I don't believe it, that's my fault. It's that he has that kind of bug in him, and you all hide it from me. Do you want to continue to lie to me now? ”

"I'll be honest, what can you do if you don't believe me?" My voice has also risen, and I just can't change my words at this time.

Tao Jing pushed me away, opened the door and walked out. "Tao Jing Tao Jing Tao Jing, it's dark this day, if you want to leave, tomorrow."

"Get out! Hide everything from me, Huang Cheng knows more than I know, do you treat me as a buddy? ”

"I treat you as my girlfriend. Dude, what's the matter, you didn't mean it to anyone else. Hey, hey! Don't go! Tao Jing, Tao Jing really. I haven't eaten in a day. You have to go back to your house and wait for me to eat, and I will send you back." ”

Tao Jing ignored me and walked directly towards the taxi over there. Usually standing on the side of the road waiting for a taxi, standing for half an hour without seeing a bus or a taxi is normal, but now it is so coincidental that there are empty buses?

Seeing Tao Jing leave me like this, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and let out a low roar before I was satisfied. I know that Tao Jing has been suspicious and angry all day today. She should have guessed all my lies and was even ready to leave my house. She's just waiting, waiting for me to come back, tell all the lies, and then she leaves. So when she heard me coming back and came down from upstairs, she had already taken her bag and went downstairs.

I sat on the stone pier next to my door, where Uncle Wang often sits, with my head bowed and exhaling a long breath. I feel like I'm so frustrated today. Early in the morning, I didn't stop Xia Bing and let Xia Bing die. Now that Tao Jing is gone, I can't catch up with her. I don't have the aura of the protagonist, I will also be injured, I will fail, and I will kill people, but now I can't even stop Tao Jing.

Uncle Wang took a small bowl with food for the cat, put it next to the door, and said to me, "Bao, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay, uncle."

"Haha, girlfriend ran away?"

"If you don't run, you just go home."

"Bao has been a beautiful child since he was a child. What are you afraid of? I'm going to look for her tomorrow, so let's go home for dinner first. ”

I nodded, I hadn't eaten for a day. I got home, looked at the food on the table, thought about it, and ate quickly. Then leave a note for my mom and I'll go out. At this time, if Tao Jing was left alone, she might still cry at home. That kind of empty home, there are still so many days that no one has entered it. She won't be afraid of running out of a mouse, but if a thief runs out, she will be angry for a while, and it will be troublesome to beat the thief to a serious injury.

By the time I got to Tao Jing's house, it was already past nine o'clock. I came by bus, and I had more than an hour to think about how to lie to her for a while to get through. I don't expect her to trust me 100 percent, but at least I'm not angry anymore.

I knocked on the door of Tao Jing's house and listened to her ask inside, "Who?" But I just wouldn't answer. When she said it, she knew it was me, and she wouldn't open the door for me.

Two minutes later, Tao Jing opened the door. It's just that she still put on the doorchain more cautiously. The moment the door opened, I put my foot in to make sure she wouldn't close it. "Tao Jing Tao Jing Tao Jing ......"

"You can get out!"

"Tao Jing let me in and talk first. I've figured it out, I'll be honest with you, but I can't tell the truth here. ”

Tao Jing hesitated for a moment before opening the door. When she entered the house, she felt that she should have been cleaned, and she was on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and there were still hot bubble noodles.

"Why do you eat this? Wait, I bought preserved eggs last time, and the noodles are in your refrigerator. I'll make it for you. ”

I walked straight to the kitchen, and she snuggled up in the kitchen and said to me, "What else are you trying to fool me?" ”

"Why do you think I'm lying to you?"

"Bao, I'm not blind or stupid. You've changed a lot from when you first started. ”

"Is there one? I don't live like this every day. ”

"When school first started, the girl in the library, the one who picked up the dolls, and the fights, we would be together. But now? Xia Bing is my friend, and you hide from me that he has such a big thing! ”

"Aren't you afraid you're worried?"

"Then you have to be honest with me now. What about Xia Bing? ”

"He really went with his classmates. You used to be good friends, but he's been going to the new school for two years. Meeting new people is also a way to go. ”

Tao Jing dragged a big chair from the dining table, sat at the kitchen door, and said with a posture that I had to tell the truth: "Ji Chengbao, you don't have any friendship with Ah Biao, but you want to go to see him, it's strange!" Go see him, it's even weirder that you have to call so many classmates! Ah Biao's appearance in the freezer is very strange! And Brother Xia Bing is in the same situation as Ah Biao. Ah Biao is dead! What about Brother Xia Bing? You and he are gone early in the morning, and you are the only one who comes back in the evening, you say, how should you deduce it? ”

My hand holding the chopsticks to cook the noodles froze for a moment. I always thought that the careless Tao Jing would not see the connection in these things, but I didn't expect that she had already noticed it.

Tao Jing was silent for a while, and only the boiling water for boiling noodles between us was muttering. After boiling the preserved egg noodles and bringing them to the table, I smiled hard and said, "Tao Jing, let's eat." It's not a good ingredient, but it's definitely better than instant noodles. ”

She didn't move her position, looked at me, and said, "Brother Xia Bing, you're already dead, right?" ”

"Nope! He really walked with his classmates. Tao Jing, you are not the only one in his world, as if he is not alone in your world. You still have my good buddy, and Xiaoxiao's good girlfriend. "I still say it, and I won't change my words.

"Looks like he's really dead. Xia Bingge's father is an anti-narcotics policeman, and his mother was deliberately designed to cause a car accident. Brother Jing, Biao's elder brother, is also a drug dealer. Bao, the two of them are in the same situation, the same symptoms, and the people who started them were those drug dealers? ”

"No, what are you thinking? Do you want to eat or not? It's delicious. ”

"Next, will it be me? Will I bother you, my mother? Tao Jing ignored me and asked the question.

This question stunned me. I walked over and hugged her, and she sat just right to hold her on my stomach. I told her, "It won't be yours!" Tao Jing, it won't be yours! I promise! I'm not going to let people hurt you. ”

"Why?" Tao Jing said.

"With the two of us sleeping in the same bed, I will be the boss of Mingnan City in the future!" Tao Jing also reached out and hugged me, but she didn't say anything. I think I was right to come over tonight. In fact, Tao Jing already had the answer to the question in her heart, she had already decided that Xia Bing was dead. She alone didn't know how scared and worried. I'll come here, at least she'll have a little more peace of mind.

Tao Jing and I squatted at her house for two days, and only after receiving a call from Master. Master has finally returned. This time, I didn't keep it a secret from Tao Jing, as long as Tao Jing wasn't involved. Xia Bing is her friend, and she has the right to know what is going on.

Master is still like that, he doesn't cook, he just eats at a fixed table at 9:10 p.m., at a fixed supper stall.

Only this time Master was in a hurry, and I asked a question, but he never answered. Tao Jing was also anxious and said, "Lei Lao, how long have you not eaten?" Do you know about that Gu thing? ”

My master raised his head and smiled at her, "Yo, this tone? ”

"That's what I asked! You've been eating and eating since you came. Haven't you had enough food in a week? ”

I didn't stop Tao Jing because I knew that Master wouldn't be angry about this. Master nodded and said, "I really haven't eaten for a week. ”
