overdue lover

The fight between Lu Xu and Gu Yinmo at the end of their junior year was one of the few things Ji Qinglin knew that Gu Yinmo did out of line.

But he and Gu Yinmo were together after they broke up, and Ji Qinglin still doesn't know the reason for their breakup.

He clicked on Lu Xu's dialogue box several times, and finally sent that sentence.

In less than half a minute, Lu Xu's profile picture popped up - he made a voice call.

Ji Qinglin was startled, and hurriedly pressed "Answer".

"--Hello?"

After hearing Lu Xu's voice just now, Ji Qinglin didn't think it was strange, he said "Hello" politely.

Lu Xu smirked a few times "hehe", and then said vaguely, "You, come and pick me up."

Ji Qinglin was stunned, "Huh?"

"Hmm, what?" Lu Xu was very dissatisfied with his attitude, and said the address with his tongue tied, "...Come, come and pick me up!"

The phone was hung up roughly.

Ji Qinglin frowned, not knowing what was going on now.

The phone vibrated, and Lu Xu sent a message: "Come and pick me up if you want to know."

Ji Qinglin searched the address of the bar that Lu Xu told him on the map, and found that it was not very far from his home, so he called a car and went to the bar.

The bar lights flashing with fluorescent powder illuminated the deep alley, Ji Qinglin squinted his eyes to see the name of the bar clearly, and then looked at the bottomless stairs, he was a little confused whether to go in or not.

Lu Xu sent a message urging him to see if he had arrived.

Ji Qinglin took a deep breath, and walked into the underground bar along the stairs.

When the door was opened, men and women with hot bodies and revealing clothes were in groups of twos and twos, and the ambiguous atmosphere with extremely low visibility made Ji Qinglin feel very uncomfortable.

He knocked on the door of the box, the music inside was deafening, no one noticed his entry at all.

Lu Xu was lying disheveled in the central booth, with a man and a woman sitting beside him. The boy's white shirt was open at the neckline, and the girl was wearing a short skirt, her gleaming white thighs were very conspicuous.

There were three other men and two women in the box, and one of them was a potbellied man holding a bottle of foreign wine in his hand, making a gesture to pass it to Lu Xu, saying, "... Lu, Director Lu, drink, drink! Have another bottle!"

When Lu Xu saw Ji Qinglin come in, a gleam of clarity flashed in his hazy eyes.

He waved his hand lightly, and easily stopped the man from offering the wine, "Mr. Wang, my guy is here, let's make an appointment next time, next time! OK?"

Mr. Wang was a little unhappy, but he seemed to be afraid of something, he smiled with inverted triangle eyes, and nodded emphatically.

"Mr. Chen, let's make an appointment next time," Lu Xu stood up unsteadily, and said goodbye to another man. When he came out of the booth, his vain steps were almost tripped by someone's feet, and he staggered forward. Go, Ji Qinglin reached out to support him in time, Lu Xu shook his head, and pushed away Ji Qinglin's hand, "No, I'm fine! I didn't drink too much!"

As he said that, he walked out staggering left and right.

Seeing this, Ji Qinglin hurriedly nodded to the others in the box, then closed the door, and caught up with Lu Xu who almost went the wrong way.

Taking Lu Xu to the stairs leaving the bar, Lu Xu supported his stomach with his hands, with a constipated look on his face.

Ji Qinglin had no choice but to let him go.

Lu Xu bent over to support the wall and vomited, the smell of alcohol on his body kept Ji Qinglin from frowning.

After he groaned for a long time and didn't spit out anything, Ji Qinglin stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, stop acting, President Wang is gone."

Lu Xu looked up at Ji Qinglin, took the mobile phone in his hand, lifted his chin, and wiped his mouth with his sleeve without any image, "Thank you."

This action made Ji Qinglin take a step back calmly.

The disgust was obvious, and Lu Xu was not polite, and complained: "Pretentious!"

Ji Qinglin felt that this person was a bit inexplicable, but in order to understand what happened back then, he had to endure Lu Xu's bad temper for a while.

"Hey, take me to eat something, I'm starving to death!" Lu Xu poked Ji Qinglin's arm, Ji Qinglin glanced at him sideways, avoiding his contact.

Lu Xu was shocked: "No way, are you angry?"

Ji Qinglin didn't want to conflict with Lu Xu, so he walked up.

Lu Xu followed closely behind, walked out of the bar and took Ji Qinglin into a black car.

"Thank you tonight." Lu Xu said to Ji Qinglin who was sitting beside him.

Ji Qinglin, who had been looking sideways outside, gave a "hmm" and didn't say anything.

"What do you want to eat?" Lu Xu slid the phone screen, "How about the food stall?"

While Ji Qinglin was hesitating, the driver turned around and drove towards the coastal suburbs.

As the weather gets warmer, more people come to travel. Late night food stalls are a good place to go for cheap and satisfying hunger.

Looking at a table full of seafood and barbecue, Ji Qinglin's eyes widened.

He glanced at his phone, it was already past twelve o'clock in the morning.

Lu Xu didn't take his action of peeking at the time seriously, picked up a crayfish casually, squinted his eyes while grilling and asked, "You look like a good boy, have you ever come out so late?"

After Lu Xu said what was in his heart, Ji Qinglin didn't refute him, but just nodded.

Lu Xu ate a few crabs before asking again: "Why did you suddenly ask about Gu Yinmo?"

"Didn't you two break up?"

Ji Qinglin, who was struggling with how to answer the first question, froze when he heard the second question.

It turned out that everyone knew about the breakup between him and Gu Yinmo.

"I know!" Lu Xu slapped his thigh, pointed at Ji Qinglin with a crab leg, "You were scumbag by Gu Yinmo, so you want to take revenge on him, right?"

Seeing that Ji Qinglin didn't deny it, Lu Xu leaned back, "Hey, I didn't see it! You're quite good at dealing with people's pain."

Gu Yinmo's sore spot... is his mother?

Ji Qinglin knew that Gu Yinmo's mother was very important to him, but he didn't quite understand what Lu Xu said.

Ji Qinglin lied without changing his face, and asked according to Lu Xu's words: "So, do you want to tell me?"

Lu Xu shook his head, took a sip of wine, and looked a little lonely.

After a long time, he changed his idle sitting posture and said to Ji Qinglin: "I only know that his mother was disfigured and fell down the stairs. The condition is not very good."

Ji Qinglin's pupils trembled when he heard these words, and his heart suddenly rose to the top of his throat.

He asked hoarsely, "When did it happen?"

Lu Xu tilted his head and thought for a while, then said uncertainly, "It seems to be before he went abroad."

Ji Qinglin met Gu Yinmo's mother, and the three of them had dinner together once, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

The kindness he felt from Gu Yinmo's mother was even more and deeper than what he felt from Liang Jing.

Even though she couldn't remember her appearance clearly, Ji Qinglin still remembered that her demeanor was gentle and virtuous. She sat quietly on a carved wooden chair, wearing a blue silk dress, and looked at the two people who confessed their relationship in front of her.

She did not express any objection to the relationship between the two, and even had a good impression of Ji Qinglin, and repeatedly invited him to visit her home.

Ji Qinglin didn't understand why such a good person suffered so much pain.

Lu Xu said in a hoarse voice: "She was murdered, but the murderer is difficult to deal with."

"Why, why?" Ji Qinglin suddenly thought of someone, his voice trembling.

Lu Xu looked at him fixedly, and the answer was self-evident.

Ji Qinglin's gaze fell slowly, and finally landed on the cold spicy crayfish in front of him.

Blood red.

The chill climbed up Ji Qinglin's neck, wrapping him tightly,
