Li Xinghe was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "No, if he is missing, I suggest calling the police. It's useless to find me."

He rolled his eyes, and was about to hang up when a young female voice came from over there, "Wait a minute, Geng Jun, let me have a chat with him."

Geng Jun responded and gave up the phone.

The female voice said: "Hi Li Xinghe, I'm Xu Zhilin's counselor Meng Xiaoran, I'm sorry to bother you so late, can I delay you for a few minutes, can I ask you a few questions?"

Li Xinghe glanced at the phone screen, he had heard of Meng Xiaoran's name, and one of the officers in the student union was her student.

There is indeed such a person, it seems that he is not acting in partnership.

"Ask." He said without emotion.

Meng Xiaoran said: "May I ask when was the last time he came to you, where did you meet, and is there any abnormality in his mental state?"

She asked a series of questions, and Li Xinghe couldn't help pressing his temples, "Teacher, it's been too long. I can't remember the exact date for a while, it was about 20 days ago. The reason is that he wanted to get back with me, and I refused." gone."

Meng Xiaoran paused, "You two are... that kind of relationship?"

Only then did Li Xinghe realize that maybe Geng Jun didn't tell her this, but it's not some shady secret.

Hearing that he didn't deny it, Meng Xiaoran's tone immediately became hasty, and his speaking speed doubled.

"Student, since this is the case, let me tell you directly. Xu Zhilin now owes a large amount of campus loans, and is being chased for debts. His parents have also lost contact. We are very worried that he will not think about it. Just Yesterday, he left a note to his roommate. His words looked very negative, as if he had nothing to love. Then he bought a ticket and returned to City S, but there has been no news so far. The police have not been able to file a case for the time being. Can you help get in touch with his parents?"

When Li Xinghe heard "campus loan", he frowned.

He had heard gossip from people in the student union before. In the opposite school a few years ago, a student jumped off the building because of the campus loan.

The more he heard the back, the tighter his eyebrows frowned.

Damn, why did you get involved in such a crap thing.

It's too irresponsible for his mother to play and disappear, as expected, just like his father.

"How much does he owe?" Li Xinghe couldn't help asking.

Meng Xiaoran hesitated for a while, as if he had walked to another place, and said to him: "He didn't borrow much money, but the accumulated interest in arrears has reached more than 20 yuan. I see that he filled in the contact person column. It's his father's message, but the number doesn't work."

Li Xinghe was silent, and said: "His father...is an old man, let alone you can't get in touch, even the creditors can't find him. His mother has passed away for many years, and he doesn't often walk around with relatives. "

Meng Xiaoran was also quiet, and when she spoke again, she was already crying anxiously: "What should I do? The director told me to find him tonight. We have all arrived in City S, so we can't go back empty-handed. Classmate Li, you Knowing so much about the situation in his family, can you think of a way?"

As the newly appointed counselor, she must be responsible for such a big incident, so she was naturally flustered.

"Are you in City S?" Li Xinghe asked.

Meng Xiaoran said anxiously: "They are all here, but S City is so big, I don't know where he will go."

Li Xinghe thought for a while, and said, "How about this, I'll send you his home address and where he might go. Let's search separately, and I'll go to his high school to have a look."

Meng Xiaoran thanked him repeatedly on the phone, and almost kowtowed to him.

After hanging up, he realized that he had put the call on hold just now, so he quickly picked up the phone again and said, "Hey, are you still there?"

"Here, did something happen?" On the other end, Zhao Qingbei didn't hang up.

While putting on his coat, Li Xinghe told him what happened just now in a few words.

While he was talking, Zhao Qingbei remained silent.

Li Xinghe pushed open the door, "I won't tell you first, I have to go out and find him, if something like cutting wrists and jumping off a building really happens, then the whole school's reputation will be ruined by him." He was very angry. is speechless.

Zhao Qingbei said, "I'll go with you."

Li Xinghe stopped pushing the door, "What are you going to do?"

"It's late at night, you're not safe alone."

Li Xinghe thought for a moment, and felt that what he said made sense: if Xu Zhilin went crazy, he would be in trouble if he couldn't control it alone.Without further hesitation, he sent Zhao Qingbei the high school address and made an appointment to meet there.

Both he and Xu Zhilin belong to No. [-] Middle School, which is one of the top public high schools in S City.

Li Xinghe has no self-confidence and advantages in learning since he was a child, but the strange thing is that almost every time he takes the entrance examination, he can get into the best school by luck.For example, Xiao Shengchu entered the market as a substitute, but in the high school entrance examination, he ran into a dead mouse again and entered the market again.

So he was at the bottom of the grades almost every semester-this can't be blamed on him, who made No. [-] Middle School full of top students, he can only be hanged and beaten.

Xu Zhilin's grades were a little better than his, but his performance in the college entrance examination was abnormal and he was transferred to another major.

The reason why he and Xu Zhilin met was because the two fought with other people respectively and were punished to stand outside the door of the teaching office, and voices reprimanded them came from inside from time to time.

At that time, Li Xinghe's mind was full of thoughts on how to confess his mistakes at home so as not to be beaten by Ding Huishan. He didn't even notice that there was someone beside him, but Xu Zhilin missed him.

Ten minutes later, Zhao Qingbei showed up at the gate of No. 10 Middle School in his car.

Li Xinghe was waiting for him at the gate guard, and was surprised when he saw the Cayenne.

When he closed the car door and walked over, he was surprised and said, "You can drive a car. I haven't seen you drive it in school. This car is not bad. I'm almost whistling."

Zhao Qingbei nodded casually, "I got my driver's license when I graduated from high school, and I bought the car myself."

Li Xinghe suddenly realized that this should be the one he bought after making a profit from his investment.

Some people are indeed natural financial masters, but he can't do it, and he won't make a profit if he invests steadily.

Zhao Qingbei looked at the plaque on the school gate, and seemed to realize that this should also be Li Xinghe's high school.

Li Xinghe communicated with the guard for a few words, and turned around to greet him to go in together.

It's the National Day holiday, and the campus is empty. It's nine o'clock in the evening, and the teaching building is pitch black.

Hearing the general situation from him, the doorman asked them with great concern: "This is a big deal... do you need a flashlight? The corridor is dark. I will help you check the monitoring by the way. Almost no one has come in or out of the gate these days. I don't know if that child will climb over the wall and get in."

"Thank you, Uncle, we have mobile phone lighting instead of torches." Li Xinghe said.

He was about to lift his feet to walk towards the teaching building, but his cuff was pulled lightly.

"You'd better bring a flashlight." Half of Zhao Qingbei's figure was buried under the streetlight, and his expression couldn't be seen clearly. "It's too dark in the building, be careful not to fall."

Li Xinghe shrugged indifferently, watching him take the flashlight from the guard, and the two walked into the teaching building together.

The whole campus is quiet and silent.

The night sky is dark and windy, with dark clouds overwhelming the top.

There are a lot of ginkgo and metasequoia planted around the teaching building. The branches and leaves are like ghosts with claws and claws under the moonlight. There are strange rustling sounds from the roots of the trees from time to time, as if something is digging the soil.

The whole building was shrouded in darkness, and stood in place, deep and solemn.

When we got to the entrance of the corridor, looking around, the corridor was so dark that it was creepy, and goosebumps arose.

Li Xinghe stomped his feet very hard when going up the stairs, and finally turned on the voice-activated light.

"Damn it, this light is still so insensitive. I've been out of school for two years, and I haven't seen it repaired." He complained without looking back.

Zhao Qingbei followed behind him, uncharacteristically quiet.

At the corner of the second floor, Li Xinghe stopped in his tracks: "Starting from this floor, it's Xu Zhilin's previous class, all the way to the fifth floor, changing floors every so often. We'll find them separately, you go The third and fourth floors, I'll go to this floor and the fifth floor."

Searching separately is the most time-saving, and they know each other very well.

Zhao Qingbei said, "There is only one flashlight."

"Then you can use it. I can use the flashlight of my mobile phone."

Li Xinghe thought that he was going to go up after he finished speaking, but the other party didn't move at all.

"No, it's not safe, I'd better stay with you." Zhao Qingbei whispered.

He has always acted relatively safely, and Li Xinghe didn't take it seriously. He walked forward and said: "Okay then, you go to the classroom in front, we will search separately on this floor."

He pushed open the door of the classroom in front of him self-consciously, and the door lintel creaked, which was very ear-piercing in the silent night.

"Is anyone there? Xu Zhilin? If you're not dead, let me know." Li Xinghe shouted. He carelessly scanned with the light of his mobile phone, went in and walked around, and came out after confirming that there was no one there.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Zhao Qingbei waiting for him in the corridor with a flashlight.

He said strangely: "Didn't you tell me to look for it separately? You go to the next class and have a look. What are you doing standing here?"

Zhao Qingbei didn't say anything or move.

Li Xinghe was feeling puzzled, when suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, combined with his various actions tonight, he immediately reacted——

He tentatively asked: "...you are afraid of the dark, aren't you?"

Zhao Qingbei turned around stiffly, and walked towards the next class desperately.

Li Xinghe burst out laughing, hurried forward and said: "Oh, wait."

Zhao Qingbei walked to the door, looked at the dark doorway, and stopped again after being defeated by the darkness.

"Hahahaha, fuck me." Li Xinghe couldn't help laughing, he didn't expect that the young master who was usually so proud was afraid of the dark.Seeing his awkward appearance makes people laugh.

"Are you really scared? There's nothing to be afraid of." Li Xinghe smiled and walked past him to open the door, still scanning the inside with his flashlight, "Is anyone there, if there is, hum—"

Zhao Qingbei took half a step back, and finally couldn't hold back and said, "Don't be so loud."

"Why? I'm looking for someone, louder, of course."

"What if... someone is really there."

Li Xinghe reacted for a few seconds before he understood what he meant, and suddenly laughed so hard that he was afraid of not only the dark, but also ghosts.

Zhao Qingbei pursed his lips and put down the flashlight in anger, as if he was going to follow him in.

Li Xinghe stopped him with a smile: "Don't go in yet, you wait for me here."

Zhao Qingbei paused.

Li Xinghe took two steps towards the stairs, turned back worriedly and said, "Don't wander around, don't be afraid, just wait for me here, just a minute."

After speaking, he quickly ran to the stairs and touched the switch of the electric switch by memory.

He quickly pulled the switch, then walked to the beginning of the corridor and turned on the light.

In an instant, the entire corridor lit up.

Li Xinghe trotted along the corridor to Zhao Qingbei, panting slightly: "Aren't you afraid now? The main gate is hidden so deep that most people don't know where it is. The school is so stingy. The guard will scold me later." If you don’t save electricity, remember to remind me to turn it off when you leave.”

Standing at the door, Zhao Qingbei was bathed in the dim light, making his whole body look much softer.

"Yeah." He twitched the corner of his mouth lightly, and silently turned off the flashlight.

Afterwards, every time Li Xinghe entered a classroom, he would turn on the lights.

In order to prevent Zhao Qingbei from overthinking, he chatted with him while checking the classroom.

"Why are you afraid of the dark? It doesn't look like it."

"It was forgotten in the basement before, it's very dark there." Zhao Qingbei said lightly.

Li Xinghe stopped looking for someone, "Before?"

"When I was young, the nanny forgot about me."

"Then... how long have you been in the basement?"

"one day."

Li Xinghe's volume instantly increased: "One day? Didn't your family know they were looking for you? That's unreasonable, and the nanny is also irresponsible. How can you let a child run around? After staying in that environment for a day, you must be terrified gone."

He patted Zhao Qingbei's shoulder, "Don't worry, I won't leave you here, brother protects you."

Zhao Qingbei lowered his eyes to look at him, obviously his height was only up to his chin, but there was a sense of bravery and senseless publicity.

"Okay." The corners of his lips curved slightly.

They searched the second, third, and fourth floors, but there was no one there.

Li Xinghe once wondered if he was thinking wrong, maybe Xu Zhilin didn't come to high school at all.

But if he doesn't go back to high school, what is he doing buying the ticket to S city?Could it be that it was to go back to the empty house and wait for his old father to come back?

Just when he was about to make a call to the counselor, in the classroom at the end of the fifth floor, he saw a figure lying in the penultimate row.

Li Xinghe hung up the phone and cursed.

Without saying a word, he rushed up and kicked the desk hard.

Bang - the whole table and the chairs beside it shook.

Xu Zhilin was lying on the table disheveled and unkempt, woke up by the kick, and raised his head sleepily to look over.

Li Xinghe got so angry that he cursed angrily: "You are fucking out of your mind? Your counselor and roommates are all looking for you, but you're sleeping here? Fuck it. Your mother!"

Zhao Qingbei glanced in, but didn't go in, and stood at the back door with his pockets in his pocket.

Xu Zhilin stared at him blankly, as if he was still in a dream, "Xinghe, is it really you? I thought I was dreaming just now."

"Your mother's dream, Xu Zhilin, I think you should go to the psychiatrist." Li Xinghe gasped and said, "You call the counselor yourself, and call now, she is about to go crazy."

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhilin didn't move, he just looked at him expectantly: "Don't go."

Li Xinghe wanted to punch him in the face, but because he was a suicidal person, he had no choice but to keep a cold face and not speak.

"If you don't leave, I'll call her later." Xu Zhilin said.

Zhao Qingbei slowly clenched his hands, and looked coldly into the classroom.

Li Xinghe pulled up a stool and sat down, and while positioning Meng Xiaoran under the table, he held him steady and said, "What do you really want? Also, what's going on with the campus loan, you really opened my eyes, Xu Zhilin , I never knew you were such a dog."

Xu Zhilin stared at his face almost greedily, "Do you still care about me? The loan is because... because I want to buy you a gift, maybe then you can forgive me, I bought a lot of things you like, It's a pity I didn't bring it with me."

"...You are really fucking sick." Li Xinghe's face was full of absurdity.

"I bought all the limited edition sneakers, figures, and signed jerseys you like." He forced a smile, "I also bought a ring, you will definitely like it."

Li Xinghe looked at him with a gloomy expression for a while, then frowned and said, "I don't like these, you didn't buy these for me at all, just to satisfy yourself."

Xu Zhilin showed a hurt expression, "Why don't you like it? I remember when you were in high school, you liked to play football in limited editions. Whether it was then or now, I envy you very much. I fight because I am in a bad mood. You fight to stand out for others, and you will always live your life so freely and dazzlingly.”

His voice was full of resentment and resentment: "Even if you are going to university, you can easily get into the best major, but I can only be transferred to a marginal college. Xinghe, I have understood since I came to province A that I deserve to be admitted." Not on you, but why can't you wait for me?"

"Do you still remember the first time we met? You are obviously the same person as me. We both skipped class and fought. Why am I not good enough for you now?"

Li Xinghe was furious in his heart when he said these words.

He finally understood that what Xu Zhilin likes is only the self he imagined in his heart.

He doesn't even know what he really likes or what kind of person he is. He is purely moved by himself, coupled with inferiority complex.

On weekdays, he would go up and beat someone up in the morning, but now he could only suppress his impulse and was so angry that he wanted to laugh: "Wait for you? Waiting to catch you cheating, or waiting to help you repay the loan?"

A WeChat message popped up, and Meng Xiaoran said they had arrived at the door.

Seeing that the task was completed, Li Xinghe didn't want to stay here any longer.

He stood up, Xu Zhilin looked up at him immediately.

Li Xinghe looked around, crossed his arms and said, "If I remember correctly, this should be our class. This seat is also my seat. You remember it quite clearly."

"I remember everything about you." Xu Zhilin choked up.

Li Xinghe nodded, "But I don't remember."

"If you weren't sitting here, I wouldn't remember which row I sat in. I also can't remember when I first met you, and I don't know when you started to pay attention to me."

"Fighting with others is not about who gets ahead, it's just because of some conflicts in the stadium, which is not as great as you think. I don't like playing football very much. The limited running shoes are given by my father. I go to the stadium to gather the number of brothers."

His tone was calm, with a hint of pity.

"Look, you don't even know what kind of person I am. I'm not the same kind of person as you, neither as good nor as bad as you think." Li Xinghe said coldly, "The reason why I agreed I was with you because you were kind to me and cared for me at that time. When you confessed your love, you broke your leg in order to get on a hot air balloon. I thought that you came to me with passion just like your actions. "

Tears gradually welled up in Xu Zhilin's eyes, and he wanted to interrupt him again and again, but he endured it again.

"As for me, I have always had fantasies about feelings, always wanting to find someone who is like me, who is desperate for feelings and flies to the fire, so I was confused at the time, but now it seems that I am not mature enough. "

Li Xinghe pouted: "Based on what you said just now, I realized that you don't like me. If you like someone, you don't want to drag him down, but want to become better together with him."

Xu Zhilin was completely unable to refute, and drooped his shoulders as if discouraged.

"I'm leaving, your counselor will be here soon, don't do stupid things, don't make me look down on you again." After Li Xinghe finished speaking, he walked towards the back door without any hesitation.

When he walked to the door, he saw Zhao Qingbei standing against the wall, and exhaled, "Let's go, I've had enough, I've worked hard on you, and I've been with you so much at night."

Zhao Qingbei looked at him carefully and saw that he was fine, so he walked to the stairs with him.

When approaching the stairs, Zhao Qingbei stopped: "Brother, can you wait for me here?"

Li Xinghe looked up, "What's the matter, did you lose something?"

"No, only a few minutes of delay."

Seeing that he didn't want to answer, Li Xinghe nodded and stood on the stairs looking at him.

Zhao Qingbei turned around and walked towards the end of the corridor.

The classroom just now was a long way from the stairs, so he went straight in through the back door.

Xu Zhilin was sitting at the table in a daze, and turned his head in surprise when he heard the sound, and when he saw him, his expression immediately fell down.

He had only met Zhao Qingbei once, but the sense of conflict between boys was innate, and he soon realized that this person was not kind.

"It's you again, it was you last time, this time you came along, I underestimated..." Before Xu Zhilin finished speaking, he was lifted up by his collar.

Zhao Qingbei pushed him against the wall with a frighteningly cold expression.

Xu Zhilin had been subdued by him once before, but he felt that this man's strength was unreasonably strong. He was a big man of about 1.8 meters, and he felt breathless and unable to move his upper body when he was grabbed by the neckline.

Zhao Qingbei lowered his eyes and looked at him coldly: "No matter what happens in the future, don't contact Li Xinghe again, otherwise I will make you regret doing so."

Xu Zhilin became tense under his gaze, his hands were sweating, but he still insisted: "What do you want to do with me? Don't forget that I am the person they are all looking for, and I am not afraid of anything!"

Zhao Qingbei sneered, his voice was soft but chilled to the bone.

"If you really want to die, why do you still make a special trip back to City S? You want to play the game of returning to the roots even if you die?" He said slowly, "Your father who was included in the dishonest list is in City S right now. Should I call the police and arrest him together?"

Xu Zhilin's lips lost all color in an instant, and tremblingly said: "You...don't talk nonsense, how do you know..."

"To deal with you, I don't need to do anything at all." Zhao Qingbei let go of him.

He gasped heavily, covering his neck in horror and looking at the other party.

"Li Xinghe is not someone you can touch, remember." Zhao Qingbei took a step back and looked at him condescendingly.

Xu Zhilin felt unwilling, gritted his teeth and asked, "What about you, what position do you stand in to say these words?"

Zhao Qingbei looked at him expressionlessly, and said slowly but clearly: "He is mine."
