Qiao Yingzi shuddered, raised her head to meet his questioning eyes, and tried to say in a calm tone: "What are you talking about? What lies? I don't understand what you are talking about."
Lin Yue said: "Song Qian did not agree to your coming to Shenzhen to participate in the NTU Winter Camp. You insisted on coming, right?"
"I...I didn't."
She lowered her head, grasped the shoulder straps of her backpack with both hands, and tried to dodge sideways and leave quickly. Little did she know that Lin Yue had predicted her movements and stopped her again.
"Explain things clearly before leaving."
"I said I didn't lie." Qiao Yingzi was very excited: "Get out of the way, you won't let me call people."
Even if she was found out, why did she insist that she didn't lie? Because she was sure that Lin Yue would not take the initiative to contact Song Qian and Qiao Weidong to confirm the matter.
"First, I remember that the activities of the Nanda Winter Camp started yesterday. If Qiao Weidong can persuade Song Qian, you should have arrived in Shenzhen the day before yesterday instead of getting off the plane today. It is already the afternoon. Apart from booking a hotel and You missed 2 days of classes because of your rush. Secondly, with Song Qian’s character, she has to take care of what you eat, drink, play and what time you go to bed. If possible, she will even decide what you think, and you came from Beijing all at once. When you go to the southern metropolis of Shenzhen, you will definitely be sent someone to accompany you. It just so happens that Qiao Weidong has nothing to do, no one else wants to go to work, and he can't borrow money to invest, so he can come and take care of you. However, you will be alone from the time you get on the plane to the time you get off the plane. Third, in winter in the north, the temperature is below zero, while in Shenzhen it is above 10 degrees, and the highest daytime temperature can reach 20 degrees. It is not appropriate to wear a down jacket. Travelers who are well prepared generally bring a larger suitcase. Come put your down jacket, and you came here carrying a backpack for school. What does this mean? Either you are walking in a hurry and have no time to prepare, or you dare not bring a suitcase because you are afraid that your family will notice your intentions. , to sum up, your coming to Shenzhen this time is similar to running away from home, right?"
Qiao Yingzi stayed where she was after listening to his words. She didn't expect that he would see through her little actions at a glance.
Surprise, embarrassment, panic, nervousness, embarrassment, resentment, confusion... all kinds of emotions are in my heart, which is very unpleasant.
"Little girl, is there anything I can do for you?"
At this moment, a middle-aged security guard in uniform came over and asked Qiao Yingzi, but his vigilant eyes were always on Lin Yue. He seemed to have noticed the contradiction between the two people and thought she was being harassed. .
"No, thank you, we know each other."
The security guard checked her eyes, looked at her again and again, turned around and left.
Qiao Yingzi lowered her head, looked at Lin Yue again after taking a few breaths, and begged: "Can you keep this a secret for me? I beg you."
"I would have been very happy to make Song Qian and Qiao Weidong angry, but this time... okay, I promise you, I won't tell anyone about you stealing to Shenzhen."
"Thanks."
Qiao Yingzi felt relieved after hearing that.
Lin Yue asked again: "Have you been to Shenzhen before? Do you know the way to the winter camp venue?"
"Don't worry, there is a Gaode map. I can navigate if I don't know the way."
“If you take a taxi, remember to choose a car from a regular taxi company and try not to touch unlicensed cars.”
She nodded, hummed, paused for two seconds and suddenly raised her eyebrows.
"Are you worried about me?"
Lin Yue said: "Nonsense, this is Shenzhen, not Beijing. You are not familiar with the place. If you encounter difficulties, you will have few ways to ask for help."
Qiao Yingzi asked: "How many days do you want to stay in Shenzhen?"
Lin Yue said: "If things go well, it will take two or three days. If not... Anyway, try to go back before the Spring Festival."
"Then...if I encounter a difficulty that I can't solve, can I call you?"
"Can."
Lin Yue was surprised. Although Qiao Yingzi was not Ji Yangyang and was not stubborn, with his relationship with Song Qian and Qiao Weidong, it was still difficult for her to ask for help when she encountered difficulties. What happened to her today? Is it possible... that people become timid after setting foot in a foreign place?
"Then I'm leaving. Goodbye."
There was a smile on Qiao Yingzi's tired face, she waved to him and left.
Lin Yue didn't think much and watched her leave the hall and return to Ji Shengli and Liu Jing.
"What happened just now?"
Before she arrived, Liu Jing took the first step to ask what was on her mind. It seemed that the security guard's intervention caught her attention.
"Nothing, let's go."
Seeing that Lin Yue didn't want to talk, she naturally thought it was about Song Qian and Qiao Weidong. After all, at the psychology lecture venue, Lin Yue made those two people disgraced. As Qiao Yingzi is their daughter, it is reasonable for the relationship between the two to be tense. one thing.
Ji Shengli hurriedly caught up with him.
"Let's take a taxi and go."
"No need." Lin Yue said, "My dad has a friend here. We can borrow his car to drive for a few days."
"You want to drive?" Ji Shengli was surprised: "Shenzhen is such a big place, do you know the roads?"
He knew that Lin Yue could drive, and his skills were not bad, but that was in Beijing, and this was Shenzhen, and the traffic habits were slightly different. He had visited Shenzhen for research before when he was the deputy mayor of the western region, and he knew the city well. The electronic police are very powerful. If you are not careful, you will get a ticket. Borrowing someone else's car to drive is not a problem, but dealing with traffic violations is a headache.
"Do not worry."
Lin Yue just smiled slightly without explaining.
What a joke, in the world of "Twenty Not Confused" and "The World", he has lived in Shenzhen for many years. He knows the road conditions in this city well and can drive to his destination with his eyes closed, but he uses "Old Driver" "It's no problem to describe it. It's definitely qualified to drive a ride on Didi or something like that."
…
More than an hour later, a Volkswagen SUV arrived on an old street in Longhua District that can be described as "dirty and messy." Lin Yue found a spot to park the car, pointed to the narrow alley diagonally opposite and said: "Ji Yangyang lives in a two-story house there, but it's still early, so he probably hasn't come back yet."
Liu Jing bit her lower lip lightly and looked at the neighborhood outside.
Under the sign of the hardware store, which was whitened by the rain, stood a migrant worker wearing shabby jeans, puffing away at a cigarette. The stove of the food stall next to it was almost placed on the curb. There was white smoke, and I didn't know whether it was filled with steamed buns or siomai. The whine of the blower diluted the cry of the child at the door of the pharmacy. The adult was answering the phone and had no time to pay attention to him. He just held the child's clothes firmly. To prevent him from running around, a man walked out of the beef and mutton shop further away and poured a basin of dirty water into the smelly drain hole. He didn't care whether it splashed the passers-by or not, and didn't look back. The ground is gone.
Ji Yangyang lives in a place like this?
What was his living environment like before? First it was grandma and grandpa’s townhouse, and then it was a large flat that my uncle couldn’t live in. Even if the living environment deteriorated after my parents came back, it was still a well-decorated two-bedroom school district house. The real estate agent was diligent and the residents were friendly. But look at this place again...
"Liu Jing, please eat a little."
Ji Shengli handed her a hamburger, which she had just bought at the McDonald's on the roadside, because Lin Yue said that Ji Yangyang's return home time was not fixed and she needed to wait and see. It was already evening and they had no intention of finding a suitable one. I had to eat somewhere, so I wanted to make do with it casually.
"I'm not hungry."
Just when Liu Jing was about to refuse, she saw Ji Shengli's look and remembered the "three-part agreement" she made at home to persuade her husband to agree to her visit, so she could only take it and eat it one bite at a time.
Ji Shengli also took a few bites of a chicken drumstick and felt a little choked. When he was about to get mineral water to wash it down, Lin Yue pointed forward.
"coming."
The two of them looked up after hearing this, and saw two people walking under the streetlight in front of them on the right. The one in front was dark and thin, and they didn't recognize him, while the person behind... was wearing a denim jacket sold at a street stall, with military green pockets underneath. pants, and a pair of stained travel shoes.
The most important thing is the face. Apart from being thin and tired, it is not their only son Ji Yangyang.
When Liu Jing saw this, she couldn't help it anymore and was about to open the door and get out of the car. Ji Shengli grabbed her hand and said, "Wait a moment."
She knew that her husband was afraid of scaring his son from getting out of the car suddenly. With their physical fitness, it was almost impossible to catch up with the young man in his prime. Lin Yue finally found his residence. If he got scared and ran away, he would try to find him again. But it’s difficult.
The two of them patiently stood still until Ji Yangyang passed the car. Ji Shengli winked at his wife. The two of them pushed the car door open as carefully as possible and chased after her from behind.
Lin Yue did not get out of the car, but chose an old song by Andy Lau and listened quietly.
After the three people on the other side of the road struggled for a while, Ji Yangyang gave in. The dark and thin man left first after confirming that there was no danger. Ji Shengli's family of three walked to the seats at the barbecue stall next to them and sat down.
After staying in the car for a while, feeling that the emotions of Ji Yangyang and Liu Jing had stabilized, Lin Yue left the cab, straightened his coat and walked towards the other side of the road.
While walking, he vaguely heard Ji Yangyang telling his parents what happened after leaving home and how he had been here for more than two months.
Those two people were very sad, and Liu Jing's eyes were red, but when he came to Lin Yue, he just wanted to laugh, because he just wanted Ji Yangyang to taste the suffering of the world that the people at the bottom endured every day. Unexpectedly, this guy was so stupid It's really... quite interesting.
