Earlier in the day, Zhou Jinru, who was at Longmen Outer Ring College, did not dare to stay where he was. He knew that reporters were like sharks smelling blood in the sea and would soon swarm them. Someone is obviously behind this incident, and it's hard to tell whether there are reporters outside.
"Go away quickly. Do you have any money on you? If not, I'll get some for you first."
Old Man Qin reached into his pocket and took out a handful of banknotes of various denominations, as well as some scattered coins and gave them to Zhou Jinru.
"I will pay you back later."
Zhou Jinru responded and ran out the door. As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped: "Where are you going, so that you can go out from the front door without being blocked by others? Take the back door of the school, Teacher Liu is waiting for you downstairs. ,go quickly."
The concierge Lao Qin waved his hand, picked up the enamel teacup on the table and took a sip as if no one else was watching. He tightened his belt and walked out of the reception room.
Zhou Jinru looked at Lao Qin's back with a complicated expression. Lao Qin's heart was calm, and there had been no fluctuations since he saw him.
After leaving the back door of the communication room, Zhou Jinru went straight to the teaching building, and happened to see Liu Li at the corner, peeking her head out.
"Teacher Liu."
When Liu Li saw him, she felt mixed feelings. She hurriedly waved: "Come with me quickly, before those reporters sneak into the school. If they are blocked, it will be too late."
The two of them walked across the school without incident. When they arrived at the back door of the school, there was already a young man with gray hair squatting on the roadside waiting for them.
"This is a fool. He will take you to Uncle Dong. If you need anything, just tell him."
Liu Li gave instructions and left in a hurry.
This gray-haired young man, Zhou Jinru, had met once before at Lao Dong’s fish ball stall. At that time, he was traveling with a big orange cat.
"Uncle Qin has already said, come with me, don't run around when you are at Uncle Dong's place. If you have nothing else to do, no reporters will go there. After all, Uncle Dong is just a fish ball seller."
Zi was walking and talking. He walked in front, lit a cigarette, and enjoyed it skillfully.
Zhou Jinru declined his invitation politely and walked behind to look at him intently. This was a young man who was accustomed to wearing a black sweater. His race could not be distinguished from his appearance, but with his street habits, he had obviously left school long ago and was with the big orange cat. It's totally different to be full of student spirit like that.
His fingers gently tapped the outside of his thigh, and four colors appeared in Zhou Jinru's vision, namely emerald green joy, fiery red anger, golden surprise, and dark blue sadness. This is a new function that has been enabled since last night. His profile picture kept flashing, and the words he had said emerged one by one.
Jie's mood has always been one of surprise. Liu Li didn't cause any fluctuations, and neither did Lao Qin. But he only showed joy when he mentioned Uncle Dong. He and Uncle Dong have a close relationship?
Blinking his eyes, with a thought, the new function was turned off. Zhou Jinru put his hands in his pockets and took each step step by step. He was not in a hurry. If it didn't work, he would go to the Guards Bureau for a showdown. Could Sir Chen still lock him up? ?
Following the wolf, we walked through a silent cemetery, wandered around in dark alleys, and finally came to a quaint courtyard. The dragon gate sign was hung in front of the door. The door was open, and you could see the things in the courtyard from the outside. There are large and small bamboo plaques placed to dry things.
Zhou Jinru suddenly remembered the Magic City in his memory. It was one of the most prosperous cities in the country. It has been known as the city that never sleeps since the old times. There are constant traffic and horses day and night, like a bright pearl on the earth.
But outside all the prosperity, the old city is the world of mortals, where you can find the epitome of all the cities in the country. In the cramped alleys, under the vicissitudes of old trees, citizens who have lived in a few low buildings all their lives.
After graduating from college, Zhou Jinru’s roommate worked in Shanghai for a period of time. He often posted some photos of his life to the space, accompanied by pretentious text, which often caused the screen to crash. Therefore, at this moment, the photos in his memory were different from those of The reality overlapped, and Zhou Jinru's heart was severely touched.
He grinned silently and laughed at himself: "I forgot my feelings again."
"Mr. Aguang, please come in."
Standing alone in the courtyard, next to a bare old tree, Zhou Jinru did not notice Uncle Dong.
Zie seemed to read his thoughts: "Uncle Dong is not at home at this time and will not come back until noon."
Zhou Jinru was about to enter the door when suddenly a cane stretched out from the side and stood in front of him. An old voice sounded: "Give way, give way."
Before he finished speaking, an old man with a rat head and a human body passed by him with a stooped back and walked straight into the courtyard. He raised his head and glanced at the nest before walking deeper into the courtyard.
"Mr. Aguang, that's the owner of the candy shop at the Outer Ring Station. He is friends with Uncle Dong. He is a person who doesn't like red tape..."
The owner of the candy store came around again, squinting his small eyes and scanning the child: "Young man, don't label others randomly, and don't talk about others behind their backs."
He reached out and grabbed a handful of colorful candies from his pocket and handed them to Zhou Jinru: "This handsome boy is very nice, but I haven't seen such a handsome young man for a long time. I treat you to some sweets."
Zhou Jinru took the candy in his hand, and he subconsciously sensed the other person's emotions. But at this moment, the civilized stick in the candy shop owner's hand lightly tapped the ground. Just for a moment, the transparent vision in front of him seemed to have been hit hard. , the spider veins are cracked, almost broken!
"Eat candy, eat candy."
Drenched in cold sweat, Zhou Jinru silently peeled off the candy wrapper and put a milky white sugar cube into his mouth. The sweetness spread in his mouth.
Jie didn't know what was going on, and looked like he was hesitating to speak: "Uncle Dong went to buy goods, and he has to wait until noon to come back. Uncle Lin..."
Lin Bo lifted his legs and walked into the front lobby: "I will wait here for him to come back. I have to have a meal today. I haven't eaten his fish balls for a long time."
Terrible.
Zhou Jinru stuffed all the candies into his trouser pockets. The mutated high-energy stoneworms were all trivial. The Lin Bo in front of him was unfathomable. For the first time, he felt that the emotion sensing tool was not that useful.
"Using sanity before it is completely repaired will incur additional costs, and the countdown to repair is 253 minutes."
Near noon, a big orange cat came in from the door. She looked curiously at Zhou Jinru, who was sitting in the yard in a daze, then at the cats busy in the kitchen, and then glanced at the lobby, decisively Went to the kitchen.
The big orange cat leaned on the edge of the door and pointed outside, whispering: "Hey, what's going on today? The atmosphere is weird."
"Well, I don't know. Lin Bo is more scary than usual today. Mr. Aguang may be more aware of it."
