It seems that the general direction of things is the same as before, Han Yutong still ran away from home that day...
It's just that I don't know where or how I found it in the end.
Jiang Chen walked on the street and randomly found an Internet cafe. He opened the game first and wanted to see if Han Yutong was online.
Looking at Han Yutong's offline game ID, his heart couldn't help but twitch.
This late at night...where could she go?
He couldn't help feeling a little panicked.
Although his previous life experience told him that Han Yutong would definitely come back in the end.
But damn, what if something goes wrong with the Butterfly Effect?
For example, a blind truck suddenly came and hit Han Yutong who was crossing the road without looking at the red light.
He no longer dared to think further.
Calm down... Calm down, you have two lifetimes to live.
Panic doesn't solve the problem.
He persuaded himself in his mind and began to analyze it seriously.
On your own, trying to find Han Yutong in such a big place in the county would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
Sitting on the Internet cafe chair, he began to think about all the places Han Yutong could go.
cybercafe?
Street vendors?
You can't go to the school study room, right?
Jiang Chen knew he couldn't stay any longer, so he left the Internet cafe.
It was so dark outside that not a single star could be seen.
After a while, it started to rain.
He quickly went to the street store and bought an umbrella. He looked at the pedestrians rushing back home on the street and went to one Internet cafe after another.
The rain was getting heavier.
Jiang Chen almost searched all the Internet cafes that Han Yutong often went to, and even knocked on the doors of the women's toilets in the Internet cafes.
no one.
It also startled the man inside who was using the restroom.
She was probably not in the mood to eat at a roadside stall.
School is even funnier,
Then she might go...
Jiang Chen suddenly thought of the small river beach where the two of them went, and had an idea.
Maybe there!
He quickly called a taxi and rushed to the campsite where the two had camped.
"Young man, do you want to get off here now?"
The middle-aged taxi driver looked at the black river beach and said.
"Young man, don't do anything stupid. There is no obstacle in the world that you can't overcome."
Who comes to such a deserted place at this hour...not to mention it's raining outside.
"No, my dad is here fishing, I'm here to give him an umbrella."
Jiang Chen made up a random excuse, got out of the car with an umbrella, and plunged into the river beach where no one could be seen.
The driver looked at the street where there was no car in sight, opened the drawer in the car, clicked the banknotes inside, and said to himself.
"I made enough money today, wait for the young man."
He put on the handbrake, sat in the car and smoked a cigarette.
Smoke drifted slowly from the car window into the sky.
The river beach during the day can be considered beautiful and pleasant.
The river beach at night was eerily quiet, and the only sounds he could hear were the rushing of the river and his own footsteps.
Jiang Chen walked one step at a time, stepping on the fine sand beach by the river, illuminating it with the dim light of his mobile phone.
While searching, he called Han Yutong's name.
"Hey, Han Yutong! Are you there?"
After shouting at the top of his lungs for a long time, no one answered. Jiang Chen was also a little tired and thought of finding the campsite where the two of them were camping to take a look.
Where is it...
The winter rain doesn't stop and the night is getting late.
The temperature is getting lower.
A gust of wind hit him, bringing with it a bone-chilling chill, and Jiang Chen shivered.
But he didn't give up, at least he had to go to the campsite to take a look.
He pondered for a while, preparing to howl twice more with the hope that he would have a hoarse voice tomorrow, when he suddenly found a shadowy figure sitting in the distance.
Jiang Chen rushed over in a hurry, but fell down halfway because he didn't see the road clearly.
Ignoring the pain, he hurried over and got closer, hearing the sobs that were being suppressed.
"Han Yutong? Han Yutong?"
Jiang Chen shouted twice quickly.
The figure over there paused for a while and slowly turned his head.
"Jiang Chen?"
"You scared me to death..." Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the hoarse voice and hurried over.
She wasn't even wearing a down jacket, and was sitting on a big rock by the river. Her thin clothes had already been soaked by the winter rain.
The hair is scattered and stuck to the forehead.
"Why are you here..." Her voice was hoarse.
"Don't worry about this."
Jiang Chen put his coat on her body and held an umbrella to protect her from the rain.
"Go home quickly, your mother is worried to death."
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Yutong was heard roaring at him almost at the top of his lungs.
"I have no home!"
The sound echoed through the night sky, and tears rolled down the corners of Han Yutong's eyes.
After staring blankly at the person in front of him for a long time, Han Yutong slowly turned his head, his voice trembling.
"sorry Sorry sorry……"
After saying that, she buried her head on her arms and cried.
Jiang Chen didn't comfort her either. He listened to her crying and said nothing.
Just tilt the umbrella a little to prevent Han Yutong from getting wet in the rain.
A small umbrella couldn't cover the two of them, and Jiang Chen's unprotected body felt cold.
Jiang Chen understood it better than anyone else.
When a person is sad, what others say is useless.
Is it because sad people don’t know how to be strong?
no.
They know better than anyone else.
only.
A few words of comfort are of no use.
Jiang Chen listened to the girl's constant crying in his ears, like a puppet that couldn't speak, quietly accompanying her and listening to her vent.
After a long time, she controlled her emotions slightly, looked at the person beside her, stretched out her hand to pull his clothes, and said in a hoarse voice:
"The ground is cold, get up."
"And you?"
Han Yutong said nothing.
Jiang Chen didn't say much. He stood up, leaned down, and used the small umbrella to protect Han Yutong from the rain.
Half of my body was wet just now, but now my buttocks are wet.
The rain on winter nights is very cold.
But it never fell on her again.
Han Yutong looked at the gentle and smiling young man in front of him, and felt even more distressed when he saw him shivering in the cold wind.
The distant mountains behind him seemed like the mouth of a gigantic monster in the darkness, while the young man's thin body protected her in front of her like a knight.
That umbrella is the knight's shield.
Although the winter rain continued, only the area where she was located no longer had a trace of wind or rain.
"Don't be like this..."
Han Yutong looked at Jiang Chen who was bending over and wiped his tears.
"Get up quickly...you are like this...I feel even more uncomfortable..."
"Then it depends on how long your dear princess needs to sit on the ground."
"Don't call me that, how many times have I told you..."
Han Yutong stood up, held the umbrella handle, and said tremblingly.
"How did you know I was here?"
"Guess."
"Why...why do you always guess..."
Han Yutong bit his lip and looked at the person in front of him with tearful eyes.
It was the last time, and it is the same this time...
"Didn't I tell you... to go outside to play? Why did you ask me... for something?"
Jiang Chen didn't plan to tell her the cause and effect of the matter, but planned to narrate it in a slightly more romantic way.
"Because today is your birthday, no matter where you go to the end of the world, I have to find a way to deliver the gift to you."
Han Yutong stopped talking, and his voice started to choke again.
"What about the gift..."
"It's at my house."
"Liar, didn't you say you wanted to deliver it to me..." Han Yutong whispered.
"Then I'll go back and get it for you. You wait for me here?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"No, I'll go by myself."
Han Yutong tightened his grip on the umbrella handle and his hand.
"If you don't satisfy me then, I will... I will..."
"Just eat me."
"Who wants to eat you... you're so dirty."
Han Yutong whispered.
"Do you really want to eat me? You said so last time on the National Day, I will have to stay away from you next time."
Jiang Chen waved his hands in disgust.
"It's bad. I didn't expect the ogre to be next to me. It's scary."
"Fuck you." Han Yutong whispered.
It's strange to say why she felt less sad not long after he came...
"Let's go, Miss Ogre, the chief is still waiting for extra food."
"You guy..."
Unable to think of the answer, she accompanied Jiang Chen and walked slowly along the river beach.
Looking at the street lights and the empty road, I only listened to the people next to me.
"Maybe we have to walk back. It's a long way back."
"Didn't you bring your mobile phone..."
"The battery has long been out." Jiang Chen handed her the phone with a black screen to look at.
"Then walk back... there is someone on the road, I will protect you..." Han Yutong whispered.
"Thank you, Princess, for your escort."
Jiang Chen smiled and took Han Yutong onto the road. He looked at the taxis parked on the street and quickly ran over to hail one.
"Master! Let's take the car!"
At first glance, it turned out to be the same driver who drove me before.
"Have you found your dad?"
When the driver saw it was Jiang Chen, he looked up and saw Han Yutong next to Jiang Chen.
Under the dim light, the driver saw Han Yutong's pale face, his hair spread over his face, and rain dripping down his face.
The driver who was smoking was so frightened that the cigarette fell from his mouth.
"Holy shit, ghost!"
"Who is the ghost..." Han Yutong sniffed and wiped his face vigorously.
"Young man, please tell me clearly. Are you looking for your father... or... have been captured by a ghost." The driver didn't react for a moment.
"Don't worry, this female ghost in my house won't dare to go west if I let her go east."
"I'm not a ghost!" Han Yutong protested in a low voice.
"Look, master, I told you that I am a young Taoist priest from Zhongnan Mountain. This kind of female ghost can't hurt me."
Jiang Cheng glanced at Han Yutong beside him and said jokingly.
"Hey, goblin, why don't you get in the car quickly?"
With that said, he opened the car door for Han Yutong and asked her to get in the car.
The driver turned on the interior lights and saw the shadow on Han Yutong's body. He felt relieved a little. He took out a dry towel from the drawer and threw it to Han Yutong who got into the back seat.
"I'm relieved it's not a ghost. Little girl, wipe it well. Don't catch a cold tomorrow."
"Let me do it."
Jiang Chen wiped her face and wet hair and gave her his address. The driver stepped on the accelerator and quickly took them downstairs to Jiang Chen's house.
"My mother is at home. Don't be too surprised when you see her later."
"Why are you surprised?" Han Yutong was puzzled.
"You'll find out soon."
He knocked on the door of his house and shouted.
"Mom, I'm back, and Xiaotong is here too!"
"Hey! Come right away, come right away!" The voice over there was a little urgent, and there was only a sound of footsteps, and the door in front of me opened.
Han Yutong looked at the woman with soft eyebrows in front of him and was stunned for a long time. Then his eyes widened in disbelief and he hesitated.
"Jiang Chen...she...she is..."
"Yes, this is my mother."
Han Yutong couldn't help but widen her eyes as she looked at the aunt who had smiled tenderly at her in the Sichuan restaurant.
