Chapter 11: Datong Lane
South Bay Area, after 9 p.m.
Wen Siyou sat at the desk, flipping through the books, the girl's eyes were dull and quiet, and they were as quiet as a painting.
After reading the last page, she closed the book, rubbed her forehead, and glanced at the night sky outside, her eyes a little dazed.
It was so late that he still didn't come back.
Wen Siyou got up, went downstairs, looked for it at the counter, and then went to the kitchen in the courtyard to find the tea set she wanted.
Closing the cupboard, what Zhao Wenyan was going to say to Zhu Yi this morning suddenly flashed in her mind: "Do you know about Meng Huai?" I was detained by my parents and couldn't get out of the house......"
Meng Huai, Zhao Wenyan, Zhu Yi......
Something flashed through Wen Siyou's heart inexplicably, she didn't know why this feeling suddenly appeared, but it just made her very uneasy.
Putting down the tea set, she hurriedly walked out of the kitchen and upstairs to the villa.
Once in her room, she walked over to her desk, picked up her phone, and dialed a call.
After a few seconds, it was connected.
"Hello?" A lazy voice, with the magnetism peculiar to a teenager.
"Help me look up someone." She spoke directly.
"Who?" Asked over there.
"Meng Huai, I want to know his current situation." She said, thought about it, and added: "He should be a student of Sihai Vocational High School." ”
"Meng Huai?" There was a laugh, "Got a crush on him?" ”
"You know him?" She asked.
"The school grass of the four seas, I have met a few times." He said, "He's pretty good." ”
Wen Siyou: "How is he now?" ”
"I know how his ex-girlfriend is doing now." There was a joke over there.
Her: "What do you want?" ”
"My future wife is smart." There was still a lazy quip tone, "Next weekend, go on a date with me." ”
She was silent for a few seconds, "Okay. ”
"Wait." It hung up happily over there.
After waiting for less than five minutes, the call came.
Wen Si You.
"I was too zealous and was put in a detention center." Said over there.
She listened.
"In this situation, the victim's family wants to make a fortune on him, otherwise he won't be able to come out in three or four years." The tone remained the same, "His family can't count on it, and now his brothers are helping him raise money." ”
Her eyes were quiet, "How much does it cost?" ”
"Two hundred thousand. How? Do you want to help him? Asked.
She shouted, "Min Xingyu." ”
"Huh?"
"Thank you."
He laughed and hung up.
Wen Siyou looked out the window, motionless.
After half a ring, she picked up her phone again and dialed a number.
"Miss Siyou......" The other side answered at once, "Find Dong Wen, I'll go and give him the phone now." ”
Her eyes were quiet, and she couldn't see emotions.
After a moment, "Think of you." The man's voice came.
"Father," she shouted.
"It's so late, is there anything wrong with you?" The man's voice was gentle.
She: "Brother, did he come to you today?" ”
There was a pause for a few seconds, "He also asked you for money?" ”
"Nope." She said, "You gave it to him?" ”
"Didn't give." The man's voice was a little more important, "That kid is getting more and more presumptuous, just ask for money, don't say where he wants to use it?" According to him this time, next time it will be even more outrageous. ”
"You ought to give it to him," she said in a distant voice, "and he will only ask you ......"
……
Yonghe Road, Datong Lane. The house from the seventies and eighties has been preserved to the present day.
The taxi stopped at the entrance of the alley, Wen Siyou got out of the car and stepped onto the bluestone paved alley, she slowly looked at the house number of each house by the street lights on both sides of the road.
No. 10, No. 11, No. 12......
She stopped, number 13. Zhu Yi's mother did not die when they lived in the house.
Wen Siyou stopped his gaze at the door, the door was open, and he came here.
Without hesitation, she walked in, because there was no one living in the yard for a long time, and there were a lot of weeds growing in the yard. The osmanthus tree that originally grew was also sick there because of lack of water.
She went into the house, looked around, and then went out of the courtyard and went up the stairs to the second floor.
On the second floor there are only three rooms and a small terrace, which she looks from room to room, stopping at the last room.
The door of the room was open, and the white cloth that had been covering the furniture had been lifted, and there were seven or eight empty wine bottles on the floor.
In the room, the strong smell of alcohol weighed down the original smell of dust and musty.
Wen Siyou walked in, her steps were very light, she walked to the position of the log bed, and looked at the young man lying on it, his face was red, his eyebrows were twisted, and he looked very uncomfortable.
She helped him cover the quilt, her eyes were a little distressed, she went to the house to find their previous towel, then washed it downstairs a few times, and then boiled hot water in the kitchen that had not been used for a long time.
She sat on the edge of the bed and put a hot towel on his forehead, hoping that he would feel better.
"Hum-hum-" The sound of the phone vibrating, Wen Siyou looked at the bed, and the phone was lying next to Zhu Yi.
She took it and took a look, and the caller ID - Xia Ge.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she answered.
"Zhu Yi, don't take this matter on your own, everyone is Meng Huai's brother, no one wants to see him have an accident, let's figure out a way together about money. The girl who was almost victimized took tens of thousands of dollars out of her family, and we ......"
"Shage." She shouted.
There was a pause, "Who are you?" After thinking for a few seconds, I remembered her voice, "It's you!" ”
There was silence for a few seconds, "Where is Zhu Yi?" Xia Ge asked.
She glanced at the boy on the bed and said, "He's drunk and resting." ”
There was a little more silence over there, "When he wakes up, tell him I called." ”
"Hmm." She should.
"Thank you." Said over there and hung up the phone.
Wen Siyou put down her phone and refocused her full attention on the teenager, she looked at him and said, "Don't worry, tomorrow, things will be resolved, and your friend will be fine......"
Zhu Yi suddenly moved, her face was uncomfortable, and she frowned worriedly.
"Wow-" He suddenly leaned over and threw up.
The wine flavor at this moment is rich to the extreme.
Wen Siyou hurriedly patted him on the back, wanting him to feel better. Then I picked up the towel on the floor and washed it and went to wipe it for him.
From beginning to end, there was no expression of disgust.
Enough vomit, the boy's complexion was much better. Wen Siyou's eyebrows loosened slightly, and he wanted to help him cover the quilt again, Zhu Yi suddenly hugged her tightly, his head was all in her arms, and his facial features gradually became serene, as if he had found an absolutely safe habitat, Wen Siyou paused.
He muttered, "Mom......"
So lonely, so helpless.
This was the first time she had seen him like this, without the appearance of danger and ridicule, and he was just a child who had lost his mother.
Wen Siyou's eyes were sad and ethereal, and he was motionless.
The boy gradually fell asleep, she lowered her eyelashes, and said softly, "I'm sorry......"
It was her family who owed him, and she would do her best to make amends.
