Lin and Xi first asked those middle school students, all eyes were focused on the ball among the branches, and no one noticed anything unusual.He went to ask the old man who played chess and the parents with children, but none of the people who were asked noticed the movement here.

He recalled it carefully again, and after confirming that he had hit a knot, he began to suspect that someone had secretly taken the dog away.It's just that during the whole process, he didn't hear the dog barking.The person who leads the dog may be an acquaintance, or he may have come prepared.

People who are familiar with You Zhong don't need to do this, the latter is more likely.Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Alaska bit the knot himself.

Lin Hexi looked up and looked around, but did not find any cameras nearby, and his eyes became more emotional.

The middle school students who were playing ball offered to help him find the dog. The students walked towards the school, Lin and Xi went to the Chengnan Community along the way they came, and everyone dispersed at Lover's Slope.

Walking back quickly under the high temperature and scorching sun, when he saw a big dog of the same breed and similar shape on the road, he would subconsciously slow down and take a second look.

But none was what he was looking for.

Sweat soon soaked through his back, his forehead was also slightly wet, and the anxiety in his heart increased instead of diminishing.

Holding the remaining luck, Lin and Xi searched carefully downstairs in the community before taking the elevator to the [-]th floor where You Zhong lived.

After the elevator opened, the picture of Alaska crouching obediently outside You Zhong's house in anticipation did not appear, and Lin Hexi turned around and went to the seventeenth floor where he lived.

Dogs are not on their doorstep either.

Worried that Alaska would not take the elevator when he came back, Lin and Xi took the stairs from the seventeenth floor down to the ground floor, but still found nothing.

When the weather is hot, strenuous exercise will consume your energy very quickly.Lin and Xi came out of the shady corridor, stopped in place to calm their heavy breathing.

Realizing that this matter could not be resolved by himself alone, he took out his mobile phone and called You Zhong.

During the few seconds they waited for the phone to answer, Lin and Xi felt like their days were like years.

He was ready to be scolded by You Zhong, but he didn't expect that the facts in front of him were worse than he imagined.

You Zhong didn't answer the phone.

After the phone was hung up after a long busy tone, Lin and Xi tried calling twice more, but there was still no one answering the phone.

He didn't waste any more time, put away his phone and walked out of the community with a heavy expression.

On the way back to Lover's Slope, he searched in and out of the surrounding alleys or streets several times.In the end, I went back to Lover's Slope to join the others, but those students also got nothing.

They still planned to continue to help find them, but Lin Hexi glanced down at the time on the phone and rejected their offer.

After the students left, Lin and Xi searched for the school for a long time along the same path they had been looking for.During this period, he called You Zhong a few times, but no one answered.

Lin Hexi raised his eyes blankly and tiredly, anxious and blamed himself in his heart, but he didn't dare to stop to rest.Even if he knew it well, he was just searching aimlessly.

The dog was taken away by Ning Nan.When Lin and Xi fetched badmintons from the tree for others, Ning Nan was also beside the lover's slope.

Because of Lin Hexi's interference, he had already broken up with his new girlfriend, and when he occasionally recalled what he heard outside the bathroom of the restaurant that day, he still held a bad breath in his heart.

I thought I was asking him out for dinner in the name of someone else, to give him some flair.I don't want to send out the text message, but nothing happens.Ning Nan was furious, and the next day he brought someone to visit him, but accidentally ran into Lin Hexi walking his dog downstairs in the community.

He left quietly again, turning his mind to the dog.

Alaska wore an anti-bite and anti-bark mask on his mouth, and the two leading the dog returned to Ningnan and handed the dog leash into his hands.

Ning Nan took the leash, and Lin Hexi's anxious face seemed to appear in front of his eyes.With a sneer, he forcibly pulled the dog leash, turned around and walked towards the school.

They deliberately chose a small path with twists and turns and trees and buildings as cover, and quickly disappeared behind the lover's slope.

However, what few people expected was that after they took the dog away, they ran into Zhou Xuan and Yang Juan at school.

Originally, the three people in the dormitory came back from outside the school, and Zhao Du left for something on the way, so there were only the two of them left.

Yang Juan turned his face sideways, and took the initiative to bring up the matter of returning the clothes to You Zhong.Before the words were finished, Ningnan and the others were seen walking across the sidewalk with a dog.

The person leading the dog wants to move forward, but the dog doesn't cooperate very much.

Yang Juan couldn't help but glanced twice, and then showed a slightly puzzled look, "Is the dog You Chong raises is Alaska?"

Not understanding why the topic changed from clothes to dogs, Zhou Xuan answered absent-mindedly, "Yeah, what's the matter?"

Yang Juan had already stopped, his eyes were still fixed on the sidewalk opposite, and the doubts on his face became even more suspicious, "Why do I think that dog is a bit like Alaska raised by You Chong?"

Zhou Xuan had a funny face, followed his gaze and turned his head, "How is it possible? You Zhong will only go back to school tomorrow, and he should have brought that dog home—"

Before finishing a sentence, Zhou Xuan stopped his voice suddenly, looked across the road and slowly narrowed his eyes.

"It's really a bit like the dog You Zhong raised." Zhou Xuan looked up and saw that the person leading the dog was Ning Nan, and he couldn't help feeling a little suspicious in his heart.

Don't blame him for being supercilious, aside from the other party's disgusting illegitimate child status, Ning Nan is indeed not a good person.

The two immediately crossed the road and walked towards Ningnan and the dog that the other party was holding.

Lin and Xi still had the dog tag they had put on Alaska before they left the house. They recognized the familiar dog tag and stopped Ning Nan from letting him go.

The fact that the owner of the dog was You Zhong was unexpected, but without Lin Hexi as a shield, Ning Nan did not dare to blatantly provoke Zhou Xuan's displeasure, so he could only knock down his teeth and swallow the dog back. to each other.

Alaska knew Zhou Xuan and Yang Juan, and obediently followed them.

Zhou Xuan took out his mobile phone to call You Zhong, but no one answered.He simply asked Yang Juan to take the dog back to the dormitory first.

When I saw the missed call on my phone, it was almost evening, and You Zhong had just come up from the swimming pool.

Before going swimming, he threw the phone in the deck chair by the pool.He forgot to turn off the silent mode that was turned on in the morning, which directly caused him to miss the calls from Lin Hexi and Zhou Xuan.

When passing the reclining chair, he saw the blinking breathing light on the phone in the chair out of the corner of his eye. He bent down and picked up the phone to unlock it.

There was only one missed call signed by Zhou Xuan, and there were nearly ten calls from Lin Hexi.

Glancing at Zhou Xuan's name above, guessing that Lin Hexi's call was probably because of the dog, You Zhong called Lin Hexi back first.

But there was a notification sound in his ear that the other party's mobile phone had been turned off, and You Zhong couldn't help but frowned.

He hung up the phone and called Zhou Xuan instead.

Zhou Xuan's mobile phone was not turned off, but after the call was connected, the other party said something without beginning or end: "What's going on in Ningnan?"

You Zhong asked back, "What's going on?"

Zhou Xuan clicked his tongue softly, "Your dog was taken away by Ning Nan, don't you know?"

You Zhong frowned inexplicably, "Are you sure that's my dog?"

"If it's not yours, who else could it be?" Zhou Xuan said with a funny tone, "The dog tag hanging around its neck is still the one you bought last year."

Hearing what the other party said, combined with the missed calls from Lin and Xi, and the piecemeal details pieced together, the whole thing gradually became clear.

You Zhong asked, "Who's with the dog?"

Zhou Xuan said: "I was taken back to the dormitory by Yang Juan."

You Zhong paused, and wanted to say something again.The words were already on the verge of his mouth, but as if he suddenly remembered something, he said in a low voice, "Where's Lin Hexi?"

"Lin Hexi?" The unknown person became Zhou Xuan, "What Lin Hexi? I'm talking about Ningnan."

You Zhong frowned even tighter, "You didn't contact him?"

As if hearing something ridiculous, Zhou Xuan laughed directly, "Why should I contact him if I have nothing to do? Besides, I don't have his contact information."

It was You Zhong who hung up the phone that answered him.

Zhou Xuan looked at the phone screen where the call ended with question marks all over his face.

You Zhong called Yang Juan again, who was discussing with Zhao Du in the dormitory what kind of food to prepare for Alaska.

Seeing the incoming call from the upper reaches of the mobile phone, he answered the phone with a sense of relief. Before he could speak, he heard You Zhong ask on the other end of the phone: "Have you contacted Lin Hexi?"

Yang Juan was also at a loss, "No."

You Zhong confirmed to him again: "After the dog was found, you haven't contacted Lin and Xi?"

Yang Juan answered very seriously: "No."

You Zhong paused, and then asked, "Where did you meet Ningnan and Fantuan?"

Accompanied by the other party's voice, there seemed to be the sound of slightly hurried footsteps and the crisp sound of keys colliding.Yang Juan froze for a moment, and reported the exact location truthfully.

Then there was the sound of the door opening and closing. Before hanging up the phone, You Zhong finally said: "You guys watch the dog first, I will come to the dormitory later to take it away."

Yang Juan subconsciously nodded.

After a while, he looked up from the phone screen and looked blankly at Zhao Du in front of him, "No, didn't Zhou Xuan say that he will go back to school tomorrow?"

You Zhong drove back to school from home, and called Lin Hexi for the second time on the way, but the phone of the other party was still turned off.

The mobile phone is turned off, indicating that the owner of the mobile phone has not returned home.But with the idea that the other party would go home first if he couldn't find the dog, You Zhong went back to the Chengnan community first.

It was completely dark, and at this moment, he hoped that Lin Hexi would not be so stupid as to still look for them in the school.

After all, in front of him, Fang Xianglai would not take the slightest loss, and always tried every means to take advantage of his words.

However, things backfired. The place where Lin Hexi lived was not lit from the outside of the building, and no one answered when he knocked on the door.

The other party really hasn't come back yet.

The emotions in his heart became more and more complicated, so he turned around and went downstairs to go back to school, and drove to find the place Yang Juan had mentioned.

The person finally picked it up on the side of the road.

As if extremely tired, the other party walked slowly by the side of the road with downcast eyes, the dim yellow light fell down silently, but the expression on his face could not be seen clearly.

Sitting in the car across the road, You Zhong felt inexplicably tense.

This feeling is clear and strange, but fleeting.Without paying too much attention to it, You Zhong opened the door and got out of the car, crossed the empty and silent road, and grabbed his wrist from behind silently.

Lin Hexi subconsciously wanted to break free, but failed.

As if realizing something belatedly, he slowly turned around and looked up.

With the help of the street lamp above his head, You Zhong finally saw his face clearly.

The beautiful eyebrows drooped feebly, the originally bright and round pupils were filled with exhaustion, and the lips that had been dehydrated for a long time were already dry to the point of peeling, even showing signs of splitting.The broken hair on the forehead was wet with sweat, and it was softly attached to the forehead. Beads of sweat were still flowing down the temples, and there was still dirt on the cheeks.

The whole person looked embarrassed and pitiful.

The moment his eyes caught You Zhong, he was obviously taken aback, and then subconsciously said: "Dog—"

There seemed to be a soft place in my heart that could not withstand the gravity and collapsed.

"The dog is fine." You Zhong interrupted him suddenly, touched his face with his warm and dry fingertips, and wiped away the gray marks on his cheeks, his soft and deep voice carried imperceptible comfort.

You Zhong said: "Don't worry, the dog has been found."
