"Li Yong, can you... help me with something?"
Li Yong was reading a book that day when he suddenly heard someone coming over. When he looked up, it was Luo Jiaming.
Although they met Luo Jiaming on the first day at school, given Luo Jiaming's character, if Li Yong didn't take the initiative to look for him, he wouldn't take the initiative to look for him.
Li Yong smiled and asked, "Why did you forget what I told you before?"
Luo Jiaming pushed up his glasses, swallowed again, and then shouted: "Brother Yong, Yong..."
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Li Yong's impression of Luo Jiaming is actually not bad. Although he doesn't like his character very much, he is really nice, so Li Yong's attitude toward him is quite gentle, not as cold as he treats others.
Of course, the main reason why he is indifferent to others is that he is too lazy to have any interpersonal relationships with them. After all, the person he has the best relationship with in this class is Luo Jiaming. At least he can talk to him, and he can only communicate with other people unless necessary. He said very little.
Of course, after the performance at the welcome party, Li Yong received a lot of attention from the female students. Some seniors even took the initiative to come to him in the class, but Li Yong declined them all.
It's not that they are all attractive. In fact, those who can take the initiative always have some confidence in themselves and do have advantages in some aspects.
But now Li Yong just wants to make money and study - of course his uncle agrees. Originally he had achieved nothing and just wanted to hang out, but he didn't expect that he suddenly hugged his nephew's lap, so he was inspired to have some ambitions and wanted to Follow along and start a career.
Of course, Li Yong has made it clear to him, and he doesn't dare to regard Li Yong as an ignorant child now. But how can it develop in the future? How can he say it now?
Therefore, in school, even Li Yong, Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo, is usually not in a hurry to come, let alone other people.
Because of this, Li Yong knew that the boys in the class were criticizing and talking about him behind his back, and they all disliked him. In this regard, boys were not much better than girls. Luo Jiaming even took the initiative to come to him to inform him.
Maybe it had something to do with Li Yong helping him out of trouble before, but Li Yong still didn't expect that Luo Jiaming's initiative to come to him this time was actually related to Zhu Suosuo.
"You're saying that your family is going to a relative's house tonight. If you're not going back, you want me to go find Zhu Suosuo?"
"Yeah!" Luo Jiaming nodded and looked at Li Yong eagerly.
Li Yong frowned and said, "Then why don't you tell her yourself? And if you don't go back, why don't you just give her the key and let her go back by herself?"
Luo Jiaming frowned and said nothing. Li Yong thought for a while and then asked: "You don't want me to take her back to my house, do you?"
Luo Jiaming then explained: "My mother asked me to give her money to stay outside for one night. But I'm afraid that she will be in danger outside alone. I'll give you the money and let her stay at your house for a night." Late, just one night, okay?"
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Li Yong was speechless. He would rather pay someone to stay outside for a night than leave the key. Moreover, he didn't dare to take the initiative to talk to someone. Is this reasonable?
Is this to guard against Zhu Suosuo like a thief?
It is unrealistic to expect Luo Jiaming to refute his mother. He will definitely not say no to his mother. Li Yong even suspected that he took the initiative to take out the money. Gu Jia's mother probably just wanted Zhu Suosuo to find it. A classmate who lives on campus is staying for one night, so naturally she won't consider it if she wants to lose face and ask for help.
This is actually quite reasonable. It can even be said that she is worried that it is not safe for her to stay at home alone at night. This may be justified.
But I guess they usually don't hide it, and they know each other well, so they don't play these imaginary things.
"Forget the money, you can keep it for yourself. I will take care of it, you don't have to worry."
Luo Jiaming hesitated, and was finally glared at by Li Yong before he took the money back. However, when he walked back to his seat, he turned back three times, as if he wanted to keep staring at Li Yong.
Of course, he couldn't keep watching. During the last class, he asked for leave in advance and left. His parents were probably waiting at the school gate.
Then Li Yong went to the next class to take a look. Zhu Suosuo didn't seem to know the situation yet and was chatting with his deskmate.
Although she had a good relationship with Jiang Nansun, the teacher did not arrange seats based on who had a good relationship with whom, but arranged them according to their grades, so of course one of them was placed in the front row and the other was placed in the back row.
Zhu Suosuo's position can be seen at a glance from the back door. Of course, you can also notice the back door at a glance.
In particular, the head teacher often observes from this position, and the students sitting in the back row are also naturally sensitive to this, so Li Yong looked back at Zhu Suosuo without even looking at her, but when she looked over, Li Yong had already She turned around and walked back, leaving her a little confused.
Then when school was over, Zhu Suosuo did not rush home, but went shopping with Jiang Nansun first.
There was not much consumption, but the good sisters were quite happy walking and chatting together. Then they returned to the alley in a happy mood, but heard the aunt at the convenience store telling her that her uncle and aunt had gone out and she didn't know when they would be back.
Zhu Suosuo was stunned for a while, but decided to wait at the door for a while.
Because none of them told them that although her relationship with her uncle's family, except for Luo Jiaming, was actually relatively average, after all, her father who ran a boat would send money every month. Even for the sake of money, they It’s not too much.
What's more, even if her uncle and aunt forgot to tell her, she felt that Luo Jiaming would not forget her, but her cousin didn't say anything to her at all.
So she thought that they were just going out temporarily for something and might come back later. She just complained a little bit in her heart. If she had known that they would go shopping with Jiang Nansun again, they would come back later.
However, as time passed and the three of them still did not come back, Zhu Suosuo's patience gradually ran out and his face became more and more gloomy.
The sky was getting darker and darker, the street lights were on, but the light was still a little dark. Zhu Suosuo sat on the steps at the door, staring at the outline of his shadow that just covered his feet, and he didn't know what it felt like for a moment.
When I was shopping and listening to Jiang Nansun's complaints about his parents, I was glad that I wouldn't have had this trouble if I didn't have my parents around. But now I suddenly felt that with my parents around, at least I wouldn't be in this situation.
In the past, she knew that her aunt was wary of her. Who knew that her mother had taken the family's money and ran away, and then her father was so disheartened that he ignored her and spent the whole year drifting at sea.
Therefore, many cabinets at home have keys. Zhu Suosuo has always known this in her heart, but she has to keep her head down because she is dependent on others. She can only pretend not to know anything, and just wants to be independent after more than ten years as soon as possible. Just leave here and never come back.
As a result, today was really unbearable for her. She was hungry and thirsty. She cried unconsciously while holding her knees.
"Here, I think you must be hungry..."
Perhaps many years later, Zhu Suosuo would remember that on such a night, under the dim light, a broad figure directly enveloped her, as if holding her tightly in his arms, making her heart suddenly filled with warmth.
But when he raised his head, he could only see a black shadow, but Zhu Suosuo seemed to see light.
Through the voice and outline, she could vaguely identify that it was Li Yong. Then she looked at the fried pancake in his hand and swallowed.
