Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Past of the Wild
"I didn't expect you to come so early." Yuzu took off her thick coat, sat down opposite the boy, took out the pen and notebook that had been prepared, and smiled politely.
Jiang Chenye smiled and said: "This place is quite close to my home, I'm sorry, choose the place here, your school should be quite far away from here." ”
Yuzu shook her head and said, "It's a distance, but it's quite close to the station, so it's okay." ”
The boy opposite wore wide black-framed glasses, a dark blue casual sweatshirt, and ordered a cup of mocha with latte art, in terms of temperament, it should belong to the category of being polite and polite, after all, you can feel his friendliness and politeness when chatting with the boy on the mobile phone.
When he was just added, Yuzu was worried about whether the other party would agree, or ignore her as a liar or something, but the other party accepted Yuyu's request very happily, so that Yuyu's original prepared wording was useless.
Jiang Chenye was the first to speak, lifted the frame on the bridge of his nose, and asked, "Xiyu-san, if you want to know about Zhiye, I will tell you everything I know, but can you tell me the reason?" ”
In the previous chat, Xiyu told Jiang Chenye how he found him, but the reason was not said, because Xiyu felt that this kind of thing was more formal to say in person.
"Hmm...... Mr. Jiang, you should know that Zhiye is a student of Dx Academy. ”
Jiang Chenye nodded, when Zhiye left, he had told him that he was about to go to school at Dx Academy, at first he didn't believe it, thinking that Zhiye was just joking with him, but Zhiye's eyes were too sincere, and there were some emotions that Jiang Chenye couldn't understand.
After saying goodbye to Zhiye and Shen Jiao that day, neither of them came to school again, and everyone in the class joked that the two eloped or fled, and what was even more outrageous was that they were all dead. Jiang Chenye naturally didn't believe it, but he couldn't contact Zhiye, and there was no one at home, and it wasn't until two weeks later that he saw Zhiye go back to school to go through the withdrawal procedures.
On the day of the meeting, Zano was still bandaged, and the bruises on his face had not completely dissipated, and he suddenly felt that the boy in front of him had changed, no longer the boy he had known, and a great sadness enveloped him, and he was no longer as optimistic as before.
It was that day that he learned that his long-time friends were about to embark on a different life with him, and they also joked that they wanted to become aliens, but they didn't expect that in the end, only no would really realize their childhood fantasy.
Seeing that Jiang Chenye seemed to be lost in thought, Xiyu paused for a moment before saying, "He and I are teammates and partners now, so I want to know more about him." ”
"Since you're teammates, didn't he tell you about him?" Jiang Chenye raised his head and stared at Xiyu, picked up the coffee in his hand, and took a sip.
Yuzu shook her head helplessly: "I've said some, but he won't talk about everything, I don't feel like he wants to talk about his past." ”
"That's right." The corners of Jiang Chenye's mouth hooked slightly, and he laughed lightly, and said: "I know that he has always been like this, he doesn't want others to worry about him, he always hides things in his heart." ”
Yuzu looked at the boy like this, and knew that this trip was worthwhile, and he would definitely get some favorable information, opened the notebook in front of him, prepared to write, looked at the boy with a smile in his eyes, and listened to him confidently.
"Only no and I are small.,Grew up together.,Always in the same school.,He's a person.,Always stupid.,But there's a special sense of justice.,I still remember when he was in elementary school in order to protect a puppy.,Was beaten by senior students.。 Speaking of the past, the corners of Jiang Chenye's mouth have never been lowered, everything in the past is a beautiful and happy time worth remembering. "He's a character who doesn't want people to worry even if he's hurt, every time he says it's okay, he always likes to bear everything alone, and he always likes to help others and forget about himself, he's such a person, he's a super super guy, anyway, I think so."
Yuzu smiled and said, "I think so too, he is a good person." Then he lowered his head and wrote some in his notebook.
"He's a good person, but he doesn't have any friends, some people say that only no is a monster, and then everyone respects him, it's ridiculous, it's a lie, but it's believed by people, even the teacher at the time was afraid of only wild."
Yuzu's pen paused, remembering what Zhiye said to her on the day of the assessment, 'He has few friends, if you don't mind, become his friend', is that so? Yuzu clenched her arms, looked up and smiled, "Even so, don't you always accompany him?" ”
Jiang Chenye responded gently: "Well, what else do you want to know?" ”
Yuzu put down her pen and thought about it for a while, at this time, the waiter brought the steaming cappuccino, and the white mist floated upwards in circles, echoing the snow scene outside the window, which couldn't help but make people feel warm.
"What about the family? I heard him say that he lived alone. ”
Jiang Chenye heard this, paused for a while, frowned and thought for a while, before continuing: "Zhiye has indeed lived alone for a long time, I remember that it was about ten years old, his father disappeared in the mountains, and the search and rescue team searched for many days, but there was no trace, and finally it was determined to be an accidental death, since that day, his mother has become crazy, always saying some nonsense that he doesn't understand, only Ye Zeng took a few months off school to take care of his aunt, but two years later, his aunt still unfortunately passed away. After that, Zhiye lived alone. ”
Xiyu's heart seemed to be pinched by something, and she felt a faint pain, listening to Jiang Chenye's words sluggishly, without any mood fluctuations. She came back to her senses and asked slowly in a hoarse voice, "Then how did he live alone, and he didn't even have financial resources." ”
But the twelve-year-old child lives alone, Xiyu can't help but think of herself, but she still has Bai Xi, her brother takes good care of her, even if she is not at home, she also knows that life is not easy, not to mention that there is only one person in the wild.
Jiang Chenye saw the girl's sadness, this kind of empathetic sadness he hadn't seen for a long time, and the object was still Zhiye, he silently recognized the girl opposite in his heart, such a person can become Zhiye's new friend, he was really happy about it, and the last bit of defense against the girl disappeared.
"Only he can carve, his mother taught him, don't look at his young age, the carved things are vivid, he has been Wang Zhi's gunman in the past, and he carved works of art on his behalf."
"Wang Zhi? Isn't he a famous sculptor? ”
"That's right, it's him." Jiang Chenye nodded affirmatively, whenever he heard someone praise Wang Zhi's works for how artistic and vivid they were, he scoffed at how ridiculous they were.
"It's amazing, only wild." Yuzu suddenly remembered that she had inadvertently glimpsed the cocoon between her thumb and index finger, and now it seemed that it should be a trace of grinding from holding the carving knife for a long time.
"Hahaha, I think so too, great, someone is in the same mood as me." Jiang Chenye made a little joke to enliven the atmosphere and make the previous depression because of his wild parents become easier.
Yuzu laughed unconsciously, and wrote down in his notebook the words 'full score of only no carving skills', if there is a chance in the future, he must also carve a gadget for himself, in case he can't afford to eat, he can also sell it for money. Of course, this is impossible, so that she will not sell such a precious gift.
Xiyu picked up the coffee that was already half cold, took a sip, and suddenly felt the warmth coming down, and her mood was a little lighter, and she suddenly remembered something, she asked again: "By the way, classmate Jiang, did Zhiye ever have any special abilities?" ”
This question was only figured out through Yuzu's observation of Zano, and for some reason, she felt that Zino was very much like herself who had just had an ability in the past, and although Zano's personal ability was strong, she had never seen him use an ability.
She deliberately noticed on the training ground that only by relying on his super strong physical strength, he could easily complete so many projects, but he didn't say anything about his own abilities, and she also asked curiously, only to hear that he couldn't tell why, only that his recovery was very strong, and his strength was very strong.
Jiang Chenye shook his head with an embarrassed face, and said, "I don't know if he ever has it, but he has never mentioned it, I think he shouldn't know if he has it himself, but his strength is indeed greater than ordinary people." ”
Yuzu frowned and thought about it, and finally drew a huge hello at the ability of the wild, although I don't know what his ability is, but to be able to enter the Dx Academy, there is always something, and as a special enrollment, there must be something outstanding, this can be observed later.
There is only Yuzu in the café, Jiang Chenye has a table of customers, so it is extremely quiet, even the waiters are doing their work lightly, Yuzu holds the pen and draws, and gradually has a deeper understanding of Zhiye, he once refused to say it directly, and now she also knows, Xiyu has long ceased to regard Zhiye and Xiaoyi as just classmates or collaborators in the same group, in her eyes, both of them are her partners, companions, comrades-in-arms who will advance and retreat together in the next four years, she wants to understand them, and wants to solve the contradictions between them.
The coffee in Jiang Chenye's hand bottomed out, he looked at the girl who lowered his head and scribbled, and finally spoke his request.
"Yuzu-san."
"Huh?" Yuzu looked up suspiciously, only to see the boy opposite sitting with a serious expression, obviously the topic after that was not easy and simple.
"I used to be a little wary of you, but I don't anymore." Jiang Chenye twisted his eyebrows, his eyes were awe-inspiring, and said, "I want to ask you to investigate what happened on May 25th, you are from Dx Academy, you are as close as the alien star, you must be able to have some thoughts." ”
The boy was so serious, Yuyu was also sitting up, solemnly asking what was the matter.
"I have a classmate named Shen Jiao and I, who disappeared on May 25, and there is no news of her in various news reports, and all kinds of rumors describe it differently, some say she died, some say she committed suicide, and there is no accurate news until now."
Yuzu wondered, "Does this have anything to do with aliens?" ”
Jiang Chenye took a deep breath and continued: "That day, she was with Zhiye after school, and after that day, Zhiye also disappeared for two weeks before coming back, and since that day, Zhiye has changed, he is no longer as carefree as before, he has an inexplicable sadness and pain, I asked him, and he didn't mention it, only said that he was sorry for Shen Jiao." ”
Yuzu listened in shock, jotting down the date of May 25 in her notebook and drawing an accentuated symbol.
May? Xiyu unconsciously remembered that she and Chu Han were in danger in that month, and the days were very close.
"After all, about Zhiye and my classmates, I hope Yuzu-san, you can help me check it out, please." The boy's expression was sincere, and he almost stood up and bowed.
Yuzu nodded heavily, "I'll help you investigate, but it may be fruitless." "After all, I'm not an alien yet, just a small student, if this matter is really related to alien and hasn't been reported yet, it must be very serious or confidential.
"It's okay, thanks, please."
