To be honest, in Ye Qian's opinion at this time, the two sentences "It's okay" that Shen Youzhu said are almost the same as those alcoholics who are clearly drunk and yelling "I didn't drink too much" to outsiders. of a nature.

It's not to say how bad Shen Youzhu's acting skills are, but based on Ye Qian's understanding of Shen Youzhu in the past few days, if Shen Youzhu is really fine now, then the state he is showing at this moment must be like himself A catastrophe is imminent, as if he can't wait to be copied and killed by the whole family in the next second.

Although this logic is indeed suspected of being a bit crazy, it is indeed such a truth, and there is nothing wrong with it after careful consideration.

In fact, Ye Qian had already discovered that if he wanted to deal with someone like Shen Youzhu, the thinking in his brain would have to go through several levels like somersaults in order to figure out a small part of his thoughts.

And it's really a very small part.

------------

Shen Youzhu stood up uneasy, and stood in front of the window for a while, then turned around and opened the door to go out.

During this process, Ye Qian didn't ask any more questions, and silently looked away from the direction Shen Youzhu left, and moved to his mobile phone screen again.

During the video call, there were originally two fresh and natural watercolor paintings, but at some point they had turned into Ye Zhao's big face.

This big face immediately made Ye Qian feel helpless but didn't know how to say it... I just hate why this person looks exactly like him, it's so annoying.

"Who are you talking to?" Seeing that Ye Qian was finally willing to look at him, Ye Zhao couldn't wait to ask.

"A... roommate."

Ye Qian made a long sound, mainly because at that moment he didn't know how to introduce Shen Youzhu to Ye Zhao.

Although Ye Zhao was once invited to join the original skin design team of "League of Legends", but one thing to say, his understanding of the official competition of "League of Legends" can only be regarded as a layman at best.

So Ye Zhao didn't necessarily know Shen Youzhu's name.

Speaking of friends... Ye Qian felt that he had never put Shen Youzhu in the group of "friends".

Reluctantly, they can only be regarded as roommates.

"Which roommate?"

Ye Zhao obviously didn't notice Ye Qian's hard work and deliberation, and continued to ask the bottom line, insisting on asking clearly.

"You don't even know me." Ye Qian frowned, "Show me the painting on the left just now, it's the rose."

"It's definitely not an ordinary roommate. I don't know others, but I don't know you, Ye Qian." Ye Zhao snorted unfathomably.

At this moment, Ye Zhao and Ye Qian are in two completely different channels. He said that the city gate building is the head of the shoulder, and the preface does not match the postscript. It's a struggle to communicate.

Ye Qian frowned worryingly: "Do you want me to read paintings or just gossip?"

"Nonsense." Ye Zhao replied without thinking.

"...Then I hang up."

"Hey, what are you doing?" Ye Zhao was upset. Hearing the sound he made, his lips were so pouted that he could tie a donkey. "Are you so indifferent to your brother?"

Ye Qian didn't say a word, lowered his eyes, wondering if he wanted to take this as a kind of tacit consent.

Ye Zhao had no intention of being quiet. Seeing that Ye Qian hadn't moved, he made a fuss instead: "Hey young master, it's rare for your brother to see you care so much about others, yet you can even take the initiative to ask what's wrong?"

"What do you want to say..." Ye Qian, who was planning to remain silent to the end, suddenly had a bad premonition.

"It's nothing." Ye Zhao chuckled, and began to play the routine of the enemy advancing and retreating, "what else can I say?"

"You'd better." Ye Qian rolled his eyes and straightened his body on the bed, "You can show me that painting again."

**********

After Shen Youzhu left the room, he called Xiao Ke several times, but no one answered.

In desperation, she had to find out Aunt Jiang's phone number again.

The phone rang twelve times, but luckily it was connected.

Otherwise, even if he is indeed a real professional player, then Shen Youzhu's mentality will be shattered.

"Hey?"

"Aunt Jiang, I'm Xiao Shen." The rare trembling in Shen Youzhu's voice was enough to explain how flustered he was at the moment, the hand holding the phone wished he was shaking, "Sorry for disturbing your sleep."

"Oh, Xiao Shen, why are you calling at this time...?"

Aunt Jiang's tone of voice clearly felt that she had a reason for what she said, and the content that was ready to come out was like a sprouting bamboo shoot in the yellow mud. I couldn't figure out the clue, but I knew it contained secrets.

Aunt Jiang must have something to say.

Thinking of this, Shen Youzhu became even more flustered in an instant, and the sentence "Do you know where Xiao Ke went tonight?" that was about to blurt out directly became "My mother, is she... okay recently?"

As soon as the words came out, Aunt Jiang's sudden pause was like a small but extremely sharp blade to Shen Youzhu, it cut his heart suddenly in the silence.

The speed was so fast that it was too late to react, but the accompanying pain could not be ignored.

"Your mother...is not in a good condition recently. She is in the hospital now..." Aunt Jiang said, "I have been with you all the time. Your sister hasn't been here for almost a month."

"what?"

"At night, besides the nurse on duty, Xiao Ke helped," Aunt Jiang sighed, "But today Xiao Ke was picked up by your sister suddenly, saying that she had something to go out tonight."

…………

"Xiao Ke is not in the hospital now?"

"Yes, it's so late, Shen Ruining should send him back, but..."

Shen Youzhu was anxious and angry when he heard that, the hand in his pocket clenched tightly into a fist, wishing to dig his nails into his palm.

Fortunately, the painful wound on the back of his hand reminded Shen Youzhu not to do anything impulsive again.

Shen Youzhu also understood that if he became in a hurry like last time, it would only make things worse.

**********

Shen Youzhu didn't even know how he hung up Aunt Jiang's call, he just felt like someone had forced [-] bees into his mind, the buzzing disturbed him almost to suffocation.

Shen Youzhu clenched his fist with one hand, pressing against his aching stomach due to anxiety, and with the other hand, he quickly found the name Shen Ruining from the address book with his mobile phone, and dialed it without thinking.

The call was quickly connected.

At that moment, Shen Youzhu tried his best to suppress his temper that might explode at any time, and just wanted to speak, but he never expected that Xiao Ke's voice came from the phone.

After hearing this, Shen Youzhu's legs went limp, and he almost knelt down on the ground.

"uncle……"

"Xiao Ke?"

"Uncle, Mom was injured, shed a lot of blood...a lot of blood on the ground..." Xiao Ke said incoherently.

But it just happened to be such a few simple words, and the picture that came into being after that, in Shen Youzhu's eyes, was so intense that it was like playing a 3D movie in front of his eyes.

The heart also throbbed.

"Xiao Ke, listen to my uncle asking you." Shen Youzhu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that he couldn't put his emotions on Xiao Ke now, so he could only hold back his emotions forcibly. Swallowing garbage is also uncomfortable.

"Where are you now?"

"Here, at the public, at the Public Security Bureau," Xiao Ke sobbed helplessly, even though he couldn't speak clearly, it was not difficult to hear that he was trying to restrain himself, "with a police aunt... "

"Can you let Auntie answer the phone?"

"Uncle, did mom get into trouble..." Xiao Ke didn't intend to do what Shen Youzhu said, but still asked stubbornly, "Those people came to ask for money, a lot of money, and mom can't afford it... I was afraid... so, I gave them all the money you gave me before..."

After listening to Xiao Ke's words, Shen Youzhu hit his head twice with his hands clutching his hair in despair, then turned around and hit his forehead against the wall of the hotel twice.

At the same time, his tone of voice was still the same as before, and the disguise was perfect: "Xiao Ke is obedient, the uncle will give you the money after a while, you can call the aunt next to you first, and let the uncle and aunt talk, okay?" ?”

"Um……"

Hearing Xiao Ke sip twice on the phone, he obediently handed the phone to the accompanying policeman.

"Hello, I heard you are Xiao Ke's uncle, right?" Obviously the police aunt had been waiting by the side for a long time but was too embarrassed to snatch the child's phone, so she spoke The speed can't be restrained to accelerate.

"Correct."

"The child's mother, that is, your sister, was involved in a civil dispute just now. The child was a little frightened, and his mood is not very stable now."

"Why didn't you notify me?"

"The child's mother said that she is the sole guardian of the child and has no other relatives."

"Where's Shen Ruining?"

"Your sister was traumatized. She just finished treating the wound in the hospital and is now taking notes in the inquiry room."

"..."

"Oh yes, by the way, I have to ask you, does your sister have long-term debt problems?"

Shen Youzhu put his head against the wall, and he already guessed in his heart that he would definitely be asked this question. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and said lightly, "I'm sorry, I don't know."

"Ah...Okay." Hearing this, the police probably sensed that Shen Youzhu's tone was not quite right at this time, so they didn't make things difficult.

"Oh yes, I will ask an aunt surnamed Jiang to pick up Xiao Ke in a while. Can you take care of Xiao Ke for me for a while." Shen Youzhu turned around wearily, leaning his back against the wall and walking It slid all the way down, and finally squatted in the corner, "I am causing you trouble."

"It's okay, it's okay," the police aunt was enthusiastic, "You will leave me that aunt's phone number, so that we can check her identity when she comes."

"it is good……"

"That's it for now. We will need to get involved in the investigation of your sister's matter later, and we may need your cooperation at that time."

"it is good……"

The two "good" words seemed to have exhausted all of Shen Youzhu's energy, as if he would die of anger the next second he hung up the phone.

Fortunately, Shen Youzhu was a little glad that he was still alive when the busy tone came from the other side of the receiver.

It's just that the taste of life is not so good.

Shen Youzhu wanted to smoke a little bit.

From last winter to now, I have quit smoking for half a year, and I always feel that I am about to succeed, but now I have the illusion that all previous efforts are about to be wasted...

Xiao Ke's low sobs were all around his ears, Shen Youzhu forced himself to calm down.

He told himself that he could go home and deal with all the mess left by Shen Ruining on the night after the competition.

Calculated, at most it only needs to suffer for another 24 hours.

However, from Shen Youzhu's point of view at this time, the time unit of 24 hours is almost the same as a century.

********

The gloomy silence in the hotel corridor made Shen Youzhu feel depressed.

In fact, ever since Shen Youzhu was very young, such a strange idea would always arise in his heart, that is to hide himself, to a place where no one in the world can find him.

Shen Youzhu seldom cried all the time, and always felt that boys were ignorant of crying.

But sometimes, in the face of things that make people feel powerless, the act of crying is the most effective solution to the problem.

Superficial problems can't be solved, but they can always let people vent their minds.

Tears are saved so much that they are used to shed.

Shen Youzhu clutched the phone, his eyes were a little sore, he felt that the hot salty liquid was about to flow down his cheeks in the next second, but suddenly he heard the sound of the room door being opened.

I saw Ye Qian wearing white pajamas and a sports coat on his upper body, poking his head out of the room, and saw Shen Youzhu sitting in the corner at a glance.

"What's wrong with you?" Ye Qian walked out of the room and came to Shen Youzhu.

"It's okay." Shen Youzhu smiled, and he didn't know how many times he said these two words to Ye Qian tonight.

"Are you sure? Your eye circles are red." Ye Qian bent down, observing Shen Youzhu's face like a junior high school biology class using a microscope to observe the epidermal cells of an onion, "Are you crying?"

"En." Shen Youzhu raised his head and looked at Ye Qian without any evasion.

Thinking back to the last time when Ye Qian was sitting in the room crying and whimpering but was bumped into by Shen Youzhu, the performance of the two people at that time was very different from what it is now.

The lights in the hotel corridor are warm yellow, but the light is not as strong as a candle.

Surrounded by silence and darkness, Shen Youzhu's watery eyes filled with tears seemed to have accidentally rubbed into the stars in the sky in the darkness.

Ye Qian froze for a moment.

"Yes... the coach scolded you?"

"En." Shen Youzhu nodded and smiled.

"Then you deserve it..." Ye Qian said so, but in his heart he didn't believe that Shen Youzhu was telling the truth. He even felt that even if he asked Shen Youzhu if his brain was squeezed by the big iron gate, he would give him the answer. Exactly the same answer.

And the same smile.

But Shen Youzhu didn't want to say it, Ye Qian naturally had no reason to force him to ask, he could only stretch out his hand and put it in front of Shen Youzhu to help him stand up.

"Go back to your room and cry, I'm sure I won't laugh at you like you laughed at me before."

Shen Youzhu raised his head and smiled.

"Whether you are crying or laughing, can you decide?" Ye Qian raised his eyebrows helplessly.

Shen Youzhu didn't speak any more, he obediently stretched out his hand to hold Ye Qian's hand, and stood up.

However, the second he stood up, Shen Youzhu hugged Ye Qian.

"Hey you..." Ye Qian was taken aback by this sudden movement, and his hands hung in the air in a panic.

Neither is it to hold it down, nor is it not to hold it down.

"I'm so tired..." Shen Youzhu rested his chin lightly on Ye Qian's shoulder, and the three words he muttered seemed to be a complaint, but it was still the kind of helpless complaint.

"Tomorrow is the final...you won't be tired after the competition..."

Ye Qian was so confused by Shen Youzhu that he didn't know how to push him away for a while. In his confusion, he could only choke out such a sentence that was not painful or itchy, and he couldn't speak directly to his heart.

Then, Shen Youzhu's chuckle sounded beside his ear.

"maybe……"

Shen Youzhu said softly.

Afterwards, he slowly straightened up, tilting his head to look at Ye Qian's piercing peach blossom eyes.

"Ye Qian."

"Ok?"

"If I retire in the summer split..."

"Would you like to join the team?"
