Rust II

After sending these two messages, Lin An stood alone in the quiet corridor for a while, and then returned to the classroom.

The holiday is not over yet. Apart from the dozens of students in the remedial class on the huge campus, there are only a group of senior high school candidates who voluntarily come to the school for self-study in the teaching building opposite.Therefore, even during the period when there is no restraint, there is rarely any noise in the whole X.

In the next two classes, Lin An's unexpected peace of mind, although he still harbored hope in his heart, was no longer as bewildered as before, and even his slightly tired and haggard face was swept away from the gloom, and he became more energetic.

He carefully finished the teaching content, and before the lunch break, he assigned a composition question for a mock competition to be written in the afternoon, and then announced the end of get out of class with the bell ringing at the right time.

Since school hadn't officially started yet, the cafeteria in X was not open, so a small number of students went together in groups, and each made an appointment to have lunch in a few small shops near Bo'ai Road.

Xu Yuan's behavior at school in the past has always been inconsistent with the image of a "good student". This time, if it weren't for Lin An's thin face and Xu Xin's threat of strict control of her pocket money in private, she would never say anything. Maybe I went to participate in some kind of Raoshizi Nursing Cup composition competition, let alone pretending to come to this stupid tutoring class, so when I saw other students laughing and going downstairs, I just left myself lying lazily No one cared about him at the desk, and he suddenly felt a sense of desolation. He just felt like a wolf with a big tail strayed into a flock of sheep. The loneliness, like a rocket, went straight up.

Lin An tidied up the podium, smiled and said goodbye to the students who walked by, then turned to look at Xu Yuan who was lying on the table and took out her mobile phone to play.

"Do you want to have dinner with the teacher?"

Xu Yuan raised her head upon hearing the sound, glanced around the empty classroom, then agreed listlessly, and followed Lin An downstairs.

Along the way, Xu Yuan was still talking endlessly, and most of them were bragging about the so-called "self-defense skills" she learned from Ding Hua. In fact, it was Ding Hua and the others when they were young. It is used to fight and show off its prestige.Lin An was also forced to learn a few tricks from Xu Xin back then, but he was not born with that kind of material, and at first he was resistant to their circle, so after a few days of learning, Xu Xin completely gave up .

Lin An still remembers the helpless and funny look that the other party looked at him.

never learnedhe asked him.

He nodded in surprise and fear.

Damn, don't tell me you've never been in a fucking fight when you've grown up.

no, no...

So the man's eyes turned from ridicule to disbelief, as if it was a big joke and a shame that he hadn't touched anyone before.He was so hot from the scorching gaze that he didn't even dare to lift his head for a while.

never mind.After a long time, I heard the other party sigh and say helplessly: If you can't, then you can't. You don't need to do anything if you follow me anyway.

Lin An couldn't help showing a smile on Xu Xin's face when he thought of Xu Xin's expression of hating iron but being helpless.

Xu Yuanshang was still talking about her "housekeeping skills" and "unique skills", but when she turned her head and saw Lin Anzheng looking at her and smiling, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, scratched her head and said, "Hey, Teacher Lin, don't joke Me, I have been obsessed with these things since I was a child. My uncle refused to teach me. I stole all these three-legged cats from Brother Ding and I. Don’t let my uncle know, otherwise I will You have to walk around if you can't eat!"

Lin An nodded.

Xu Yuan was happy again.

After a while, the two walked out of the school gate and walked to the snack street on Bo'ai Road, which specializes in the business of students and residents in this area.Lin An originally thought that a child who was born and raised in an environment like her would be somewhat picky about what she eats, but she didn't expect that the other party would completely carry over her "children of the rivers and lakes" habit to her daily life style. Not only does she not choose, but she also likes to dig into remote corners. She seems to be very familiar with this area, so she led Lin An around, and finally found Qingyun, which is adjacent to Bo'ai Road, in the winding alley. on the way.

Lin An couldn't laugh or cry, it would take half an hour to go back and forth to X, plus ordering and waiting for meals, I'm afraid it would be impossible to get back to class within an hour, but seeing Xu Yuan stared at her eagerly, and retracted the words of refusal on her lips.

Fortunately, Xu Yuan is clever. When she was queuing up, she caught sight of Lin An frequently checking the time. During the meal, she rarely changed her usual chattering style. The wind and clouds settled the lunch very quickly, and then she took the initiative to ask to go back to school early .

Lin Anlue was surprised by Xu Yuan's thoughtfulness and understanding, he couldn't help smiling when he saw the other party looking around and pretending to be indifferent, and thought of Xu Xinlai again without warning.

After just over two months of contact, he originally thought that the pair of uncles and nephews had nothing in common except their surnames, but he didn't want to get along with each other more, the more subtle similarities between them would be discovered.

The two walked on the narrow street with people coming and going again. Xu Yuan didn't finish her three sentences, and then brought the topic back to Xu Xin, but this time the conversation was not about Xu Xin's past "brilliant deeds", but The accusations of her uncle's actions in the past few days, such as not being home for several days in a row, not knowing what he was doing secretly, and such as gloomy face when he returned home, as if someone owed him 800 million ...

Lin An frowned, and wanted to ask the specific situation several times, but couldn't find the right time and reason.

Xu Yuan talked for a while, then pretended to be old-fashioned and sighed heavily, and said sadly: "Oh! I didn't know where Xiao Wang sent him to have a good time early this morning, and finally came back last night. I haven't had time to get him to sign the contact book of this school, and when I woke up, there was no one there!"

Hearing this, Lin An finally couldn't help interrupting her, and asked hesitantly, "Your uncle... isn't his work going well recently?"

"En?" Xu Yuan heard it at first, thought for a while, and asked, "Is there? I don't know..." He looked at him with some puzzlement, "Why did the teacher suddenly ask this?"

Lin An coughed unnaturally, quickly concealed the concern in his eyes, and replied falteringly: "...it's nothing, just asking casually."

Xu Yuan didn't doubt that there was him, so she said "Oh" and then changed the topic to another place.

When approaching Bo'ai intersection, Xu Yuan suddenly said that she felt thirsty and wanted to go to a grocery store not far away to buy a bottle of drink. Seeing that the time was approaching for the afternoon classes, she asked Lin An to go first. arrive.

The two separated at the fork in the road, one turned into the store in a blink of an eye, and the other walked out of the alley and walked straight to the side door of X on the opposite side of the road, but they didn't know that an unnoticed danger had long been lurking at the inconspicuous corner place.

Just as he was about to make a turn around a row of trees outside the fence in X Central, Lin An suddenly heard a strange male voice behind him.

"Hey, those in front, stop."

Lin An paused for a while when he heard the sound, but before he could stop, a hand grabbed his shoulder from behind.

"I'm calling you, can't you hear me?" Lin An stopped completely at this moment, he turned around suspiciously, and saw a tall and strong man who looked a little familiar standing behind him, with a toothpick in his mouth, He stared at himself angrily.

"You are Lin An?" The other party said, turning his head and spitting on the ground, then turned his face back in the next second, "Did you have dinner with a woman in your community from six to seven last night?" meal?"

Lin An couldn't help but frowned slightly when he heard that his words were not good, and after taking a few glances at the other party secretly, he nodded and asked, "Excuse me, what's the matter..."

I didn't want to say a word, but saw the other party suddenly raised his hand, and then swung a heavy punch towards his face, followed by a loud and angry curse, "Fucking gay die!" Abnormal! I warn you, stay away from my sister, and if I get caught by my mother, believe it or not, I will send you to the palace of hell!"

The noise was quite loud, and someone on the opposite street had already heard it and looked over.

The other party put down the harsh words and spat on the ground again. After looking around for a while, he was about to turn around and retreat before many people noticed.

"I 'fuck' what are you doing?! Stop!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Yuan, who was coming out of the store, happened to see this scene, she reacted quickly and yelled, and ran across the road before she had time to carry her bag.

It wasn't until Lin An passed by Lin An who had just stood up from the stagger, that he stopped as if remembering something, turned around and supported Lin An's arm, and asked anxiously, "Mr. Lin, are you alright?"

Lin An didn't sleep well all night, and his head was a little dazed, but now he was greeted by this punch from the sky, and felt a little dizzy for a while. He resisted the pain from the corners of his mouth and cheeks, frowned and patted Pat Xu Yuan grabbed her hand and shook her head: "It's okay."

When Xu Yuan heard this, anger rose again on her face. She shook her bag and shouted at the tall and strong figure who was about to disappear on the boulevard in front of her, "Damn, don't run if you have the guts!" Lin An grabbed her and said, "Don't go there."

Xu Yuan was so angry that Lin An held onto her tightly. She struggled a few times but failed, so she couldn't help getting angry.

She turned her head and looked at the trace of blood oozing from the other party's mouth, and said anxiously and angrily: "He beat you! Can't I teach that idiot a lesson?"

Lin An still didn't let go, and frowned while enduring the burning pain on his face: "Listen to the teacher!"

Until Xu Yuan rolled her eyes angrily, swung her arms and bent down in compromise to pick up the schoolbag that had been thrown on the ground earlier.

For the next ten minutes, Xu Yuan followed Lin An like a bodyguard. She watched him stand quietly by the tree root for a while, as if thinking about something, and then calmly walked away from the tree. He took out his mobile phone from his bag and called Chen Jianliang, to the effect that he suddenly felt unwell, and that he might not be able to continue the afternoon class, please ask the other party to inform the students to solve it on their own, then he closed the line and tentatively reached out Touching the red and swollen corners of the mouth, he rubbed the swollen and painful temples again, then raised his feet and turned around to walk in the opposite direction of X.

Xu Yuan angrily followed behind Lin An. From the beginning to the end, she hardly saw a trace of the annoyance or anger that a normal person should have after encountering such a "flying calamity".If it weren't for the fact that Lin An's face was full of truth, Xu Yuan would almost fucking suspect that what happened just now was just a hallucination of her own.

She didn't hear clearly what the man who had just clashed with Lin An was swearing at. She just felt that Lin An, who faced such evil deeds without the slightest sense of resistance and just tolerated it, was too disappointing, so she followed him and endured it again and again. Finally, Xu Yuan finally couldn't help but stepped forward and complained dissatisfiedly: "Teacher, it's wrong for you to do this, okay, you stopped me just now, I listen to you, we don't use violence to control violence, but we will pay you back anyway." A policeman or something, you are doing nothing now, it is called appeasement, fostering rape and condoning corruption, do you know that?"

Lin An walked all the way back to Cuifangyuan, still recalling the appearance of that tall and tall man in his aching mind, and the meaning of the furious scolding words that the other party said at that time.

I have only eaten alone with a girl recently, so what Wu Yan said to him in the hot pot restaurant last night flashed in my mind: My parents divorced when I was young, my original surname is Huang, and I came to City C with my mother I just changed my surname to Wu. I also have an older brother named Huang Jun. He often came to the school to look for me when he was in college. Do you remember?

The face that was originally so blurred that it was difficult to catch the ghost image suddenly became clear.

Huang Jun, could it be him?

Xu Yuan was very dissatisfied with Lin An's indifference, but seeing the wound on his face, she couldn't say anything else to complain for a while, so she could only stare at his thoughtful face for a while depressed , and then called him again angrily.

"Hey, does the wound hurt? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Lin An still frowned slightly and walked forward slowly, as if he had never heard of it.

Xu Yuan curled her lips, and said again: "Do you know the big man who just started fighting with you? Hey, why did he beat you? He didn't come here to seek revenge, did he?" There is no possibility of becoming enemies with others, so he muttered to himself in a puzzled way: "No way... If someone like you can be sought for revenge, I, Xu Yuan, can still live intact to this day?! Hey, why don't I ask my uncle to look it up for you, and see what that idiot is up to, so as not to save it later..."

Unexpectedly, Lin An, who had been silent all this time, suddenly reacted to this sentence.

He raised his head suddenly, his tone seemed to be a little anxious, "No need!"

Surprised, Xu Yuan opened her mouth in a moment of unresponsiveness, "Ah?"

Only then did Lin An realize his gaffe, and immediately adjusted his expression, opened the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly: "Don't bother..."

In the next second, he frowned because of the pain caused by the wound.

Seeing his painful appearance, Xu Yuan couldn't help feeling a little worried, "Hey, I really don't need to go to the hospital."

Lin An shook his head, "Small injury, it's okay, the teacher will go back and deal with it by himself."

Xu Yuan tugged at the strap of her backpack, and said "Oh" in disapproval.

Lin An looked again at the place where the two stopped, and then realized that the girl had unknowingly followed him from Huaide Road to the fork in Cuifangyuan, so after a pause, he spoke softly Said: "The afternoon class has been cancelled, you..."

Before she finished speaking, Xu Yuan rolled her eyes, curled her lips and said, "I know, I just heard you talk to Chen Jianliang on the phone." As she spoke, she folded her arms, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why, do you want to drive people away?" La?"

Lin An didn't deny it, he just took a few steps forward, reached out his hand for the other party and stopped a taxi that happened to be coming from the other end of the traffic light, then turned around and said, "Don't wander around outside alone, pay attention to safety, and give it to you when you get home." Teacher, call me back." Then he turned back and bent down slightly to report the address of Zhuyuan to the taxi driver who had already stopped beside him, then took out a wallet from his bag to pay the toll, and whispered to the driver The master gave some instructions, and after everything was arranged, he opened the car door, turned around and signaled Xu Yuan silently to get in the car.

Xu Yuan wanted to resist a little at first, but when she met Lin An's gentle but seldom firm and even sharp eyes, she stopped silently. Seeing her indignant and wronged appearance, Lin An couldn't help but bear the pain He smiled again, and said softly, "Be obedient."

After a pause, he said again: "Don't let the teacher worry."

Xu Yuan completely surrendered. She couldn't bear others talking to her in a warm and pleasant voice, so she rolled her eyes and quickly got into the car, "Okay, okay, I'll go back." He poked his head out of the car window, and yelled at the other party with great pride: "Hey, don't hold on if you have any questions. It's good to be a master and apprentice. If you have any troubles, just contact this heroine!"

Lin An smiled and nodded.

Xu Yuan waited for him to answer, then rolled up the car window unwillingly, looked inside for several times at the wound on his face, and then turned her head and pouted at the master, "Let's go."

The driver listened to the conversation between her and Lin An just now, which was quite interesting. After the car drove a certain distance, he couldn't help but smile and asked Xu Yuan behind him, "Little girl, was that your teacher just now?"

Xu Yuan raised her head from the Tetris she was about to play, and answered casually: "En."

The master smiled and said, "It's quite responsible. I just told me for a long time that I will definitely send you home safely, haha."

Xu Yuan snorted.

The master asked again: "Are you from X?"

Xu Yuan lowered her head and started the game again, "That's right."

"Oh, it's a good school... My daughter also missed it at the beginning, but unfortunately she didn't pass the exam, and she was only fifteen points short. Oh, it's really difficult to take the exam. Speaking of which, my daughter's grades in junior high school were not good. It’s not bad, but once you get to the middle of your middle score line, you’ll be a bit worse.” The familiar master smiled and said this, and then looked at the rearview mirror and lowered his head to play as if chatting. Xu Yuan, who was holding the phone, asked, "Hey little girl, what high school did you go to?"

Xu Yuan didn't raise her head: "Second year in high school."

"Hey, my daughter is in the same grade as my daughter. Last year's senior high school entrance exam questions were not easy, especially math. My daughter's eyes were red when she came out of the exam room. Your grades must be good. You can get into X middle school. It's not easy, it's not easy. "

Xu Yuan's hand trembled, the button was a step slower, and another road was blocked, so she said "reliable", raised her head and gave the nagging uncle a blank look, and restarted the game without saying a word.

The master was looking at the road ahead, but failed to receive Xu Yuan's resentful look. After driving about ten meters, he opened his mouth again, "The teacher was your class teacher just now? What does he teach?"

"Chinese." Xu Yuan quickly tapped her fingers on the keyboard, and after a while, she replied angrily.

"Oh...haha, he looks so young. Hey, why did I seem to see a wound on his face just now, little girl? You..."

Xu Yuan's head was about to explode, and it happened that the game was hung up by herself again, so she finally frowned unbearably and raised her head again, wanting to tell this uncle who was too gossip to shut up, but she didn't have time to speak, There was a sudden vibration in the palm holding the phone, and the original game screen was replaced by the call interface.

Xu Yuan lowered her head and glanced at the caller number on it, before she could see it clearly, she picked it up aggressively, "Hello?" Her natural tone was not very pleasant.

When Xu Xin heard the angry voice, he couldn't help frowning, and after a moment's pause, he asked, "Where is it?"

When Xu Yuan heard the familiar cold voice, her momentum suddenly withered. She immediately moved the phone back to her eyes as if frightened, and quickly glanced at it. Not much, so she didn't save it, no wonder she was careless just now.

The "God of Wealth" called, of course Xu Yuan didn't dare to offend, so she immediately changed her previous vicious attitude, and greeted the microphone with a sweet smile, "Uncle...what's the matter?" Her posture was like a little sheep, Even the uncle driver sitting in front glanced at her curiously in the rearview mirror.

But unfortunately, several horns sounded suddenly in the traffic flow, Xu Xin caught it sensitively from the other side, frowned again, and asked, "Are you not at school?"

Xu Yuan was inexplicably guilty, habitually looked around twice, and opened her mouth to the phone, "Ah..."

In the next second, a terrifying low air pressure came from the other end.

"Xu Yuan."

Xu Xin simply called the name.

"Yes!" Xu Yuan straightened her back immediately, and replied very respectfully and loudly, and the next moment, she collapsed with a mournful face, and said full of grievances: "Be merciful, uncle, this month's pocket money can't be reduced any more. Otherwise, your niece and daughter will really have to drink the northwest wind, and I really can't blame me for this matter. Although it is indeed time for class, I really didn't skip class this time because our teacher Lin was out of class. After something happened, the training was temporarily dismissed, no, I still delivered the car to him personally, if you don’t believe me, I’ll ask the driver to tell you a few words to prove my innocence?”

Xu Yuan hurriedly finished explaining, but there was no response from her brother-in-law. She waited for several seconds, then turned her head to look at the mobile phone screen that was still on, and then she was sure that the call was not hung up.

"... Uncle? You, are you still listening?" Xu Yuan hesitated and then boldly asked.

The other end was still silent, and it took an unknown amount of time before the other end asked in a deeper voice: "What's the matter?"

"Ah?" Xu Yuan's thinking was still stuck on the question of how to prove her innocence, so she didn't understand the meaning of the other party's words for a while.

"I ask you, Lin... what happened to your teacher!"

Xu Yuan came to her senses and quickly explained: "Oh, he just took me to eat at noon, but on the way back to school, I was beaten up by a gangster who came out of nowhere. Damn, uncle, are you I don't know, how badly our thin-skinned and tender Mr. Lin was bullied! His nose is bruised, his face is swollen, and he's bleeding! Oh my god, I feel pain for him just looking at it..."

There was no sound on the phone again.

Xu Yuan has always been outspoken in her speech, and prefers to exaggerate and embellish her words to divert attention and cover up her mistakes.Xu Xin has been with her for nearly ten years, and it's not that he doesn't know this. Therefore, in the past, the other party's tricks were extremely difficult to succeed in front of him. Usually, within two rounds, the other party's clumsy tricks would be ruthlessly exposed. Because of this, Xu Yuan, who is not afraid of anything, is most afraid of her uncle who is "unselfish" and "no oil and salt".

But this time, it seemed to be very different from before.

Xu Yuan also noticed it keenly, but she couldn't figure out why. Could it be that her eloquence increased so much that she frightened Xu Xin, who was always shrewd and hard to fool?

Just when Xu Yuan was puzzled, and trembling, she dared not say any more, Xu Xin's shivering voice came from the receiver again: "Continue talking."

Xu Yuan swallowed, and began to restrain herself, so what she said next was basically true.

"Oh... oh okay, I... I wanted to rush over to help, but that guy ran too fast, and Teacher Lin stopped me from chasing me, so... just forget it, and then he , Cough, I got hurt a little, so the afternoon class was cancelled, so I went back to the bamboo garden..."

This time, Xu Xin didn't have a long and weird silence. After only a short pause, Xu Yuan heard the other party ask again: "Have you gone to the hospital?"

"No..." Xu Yuan said here, recalling the scene of Lin An insisting on driving her back more than ten minutes ago, she couldn't help feeling a little angry, so she continued: "I told him to go too, but he refused! "

After saying this, Xu Xin fell silent again. After about four or five seconds, he asked again, "Where is he now?"

"...should be at home...he said he was going back to treat the wound."

"En." The other end answered, and then said to her: "You go back to the bamboo garden now, and I will let Xiao Ding and Aunt Yuan wait for you at the gate of the villa."

After hearing this, Xu Yuan cursed in her heart: Damn, this is treating me like a thief!

But he only dared to obediently agree: "Okay Uncle!"

Then in the next second, Xu Xin told the other person in a calm voice on the phone that was about to be hung up: "Xiao Wang, turn around."

The car turned back on Yongning Avenue heading towards the high speed.

Xiao Wang glanced at Xu Xin's suddenly gloomy face through the rearview mirror, and asked, "Sir, do you want to go back to the bamboo garden?"

Xu Xin raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, then shook his head slightly, "Go to Huaide."

Xiao Wang hesitated for a moment, then reminded in a low voice: "The dinner at Ma's family that night... and their eldest lady..."

Xu Xin raised his hand for a while, and then put it down again after a few seconds, "Push it first."

"...Okay." Xiao Wang didn't question the other party's temporary change of decision, and after respectfully agreed, he didn't make a sound.

The silver-gray body quickly chased the dazzling sun and merged into the traffic flow back to the west district again. Xu Xin sat in the back seat without saying a word, frowning slightly and looking at the street trees passing by outside the window, After a moment of silence, he suddenly withdrew his gaze, stretched out his hand and took another phone that he deliberately left on the car seat after he turned it off the night before. The palm gradually tightened, and after a while, the thumb landed on the power button hesitantly.

During the waiting of more than ten seconds, the music and the picture were simultaneously frozen on one short message that flooded into the line of sight one after another. As the prompts flashed, Lin An's name appeared in various telecommunication notifications and multimedia messages one after another.Xu Xin felt a little surprised, his eyes froze for a while, and he quickly entered the inbox.

There were more than ten unread messages Qi Qi arranged in order above the mailbox, except for one message from Xu Yuan in the morning asking about her whereabouts and three or four other miscellaneous messages, the remaining seven or eight messages were all unread. Exceptionally, they all came from the same person—Lin An.

Xu Xin looked at the name silently for a long time before starting to read from the one at the bottom of the latest information.

His eyes flicked and shuttled one by one among the concise words and sentences of that person, from the first rough ones to the later extremely slow ones.

Xu Xin watched one by one, and after his eyes touched the last sentence from the other party last night, he finally froze completely.

—Brother Xu, in fact, I am also happy.For so many years, it has never been her who I have been thinking about day and night.

— but you.

Almost instantly, the appearance of that person came to mind.

Xu Xin looked at this sentence expressionlessly, but his limbs and senses seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, and he didn't move for a long time.

And what was fixed together with it was the increasingly clear face of that person in his mind.

I don't know how long it took until the car stopped on the side of Huaide Road, and Xiao Wang's voice came from the front again, "Sir, we are here."

The mind that was too dissociated slowly came back together.

Xu Xinwei restrained his mind, looked at the mobile phone that had been automatically blacked out for a while, and then said in a hoarse voice: "You go back first and leave the car here." After a pause, he said: "...I have something to do. "

Xiao Wang readily agreed, raised his hand and unfastened his seat belt, "Hey, then I'll go first." After speaking, thinking of Xu Xin's hoarse voice due to the unhealed cold, he whispered: "You Pay more attention to yourself, don't be too tired, if you need it later, send me a letter, and I will pick you up again."

"En." Xu Xin rubbed his temples, closed his eyes and answered in a low voice.

The front door was shut with a soft bang.

Xu Xin sat alone in the back seat for a while before opening his eyes again.

The compartment where he was the only one left suddenly fell into an unprecedented silence and suffocation.

Xu Xin even felt for a moment that this situation was very similar to the situation when countless people were by his side in the past.It is obviously the most common silence and silence, but once it involves that person's expression and movements, it can often extend countless different meanings.

He sat for a while, and suddenly couldn't hold back a mocking sneer, but before the coldness penetrated into his eyes and heart, Xu Yuan's words about the man being injured were in his ears again. There was a reverberation, and then the smile quickly receded bit by bit from the lips, from the corners of the eyes, and even from the bottom of the heart with a trace of inexplicable sullenness.

It's not that I haven't seen the weak and pitiful look of that person after being injured.

The pale face, the blood on the head, the closed eyes after losing their brilliance, and the cowardly but firm expression that looked straight at him even though they were trembling with fright, all these things made the person who was forced The person's face that was fixed in his mind became crumbling and even collapsed under the washing of memory.

Xu Xin couldn't help cursing, the expression on his drooping face changed several times, and after a long time, he gradually regained his composure.

He hurriedly read the remaining text messages in the mailbox, then took the coat that was set aside and got out of the car.

When he walked into the gate of Cuifangyuan, the uncle on duty in the security room poked his head out deliberately, and greeted him familiarly, "Hey, are you looking for Teacher Lin again?"

In fact, Xu Xin has stayed outside this gate three or two times in the past two months because of picking up Lin An. Hearing the greeting at this moment, he couldn't help but look forward.

Seeing him looking over, the security guard smiled at him again, and then showed a trace of puzzlement and worry on his face, and said to him, "Go in quickly, I saw him wandering around this door just now, "He said in a low voice and said: "Then what, I think he seems to have a wound on his face, it looks serious, and I don't know how he did it."

Xu Newsyan frowned.

The uncle continued: "The whole person seems to have lost his soul, and he can't hear his shouts. Hey, just 10 minutes ago, I saw that he seemed to go downstairs and hurried towards the pharmacy. Here, there, see No, it's diagonally opposite the telephone booth, Zhongcheng Pharmacy. I didn't pay attention just now, and I don't know if it came out..."

Xu Xin looked in the direction the other party was pointing at. Unexpectedly, as soon as his eyes locked on the signboard with a green background, a thin figure appeared in the distance.

The security guard obviously recognized the figure, and he seemed more excited than anyone else. He even pulled open the window of the security room before Xu Xin could make a move, and rushed to the opposite side of the road with a very loud voice. Shouted: "Hey Teacher Lin! Over here! Your friend is looking for you!"

Lin An turned around upon hearing the sound.

Xu Xin narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the white plastic bag being carried in the opponent's hand from a distance.

The man's reaction seemed to be a little slower than usual. His eyes turned around the security room for two seconds before he finally found the correct direction. He raised his free hand to wave at the security guard who stopped him, but In the next second, when he saw Xu Xin standing beside the guard, his movements froze, and he lowered his arms again in a daze.

The community in the afternoon is obviously more popular than in the early morning. People pass by the supermarket near the pharmacy from time to time, and cars drive by on the road from time to time. Even the clouds in the sky gather and disperse in the breeze from time to time.

Everything moves except two points at each end of the sidewalk that remain stationary.

Xu Xin stared at each other with both eyes. After looking at each other for a while, he walked towards Lin An who was standing there.

The distance suddenly approached in a short period of time, and the outline of the other party's figure and even the details became more and more clear in this gradually shortening distance.Xu Xin fixed his eyes on the red, swollen and bruised at the corners of his mouth and jaw until he stood completely still in front of the other party.

Lin An noticed Xu Xin's focused gaze on his face, and withdrew his dazed gaze somewhat evasively, but he didn't expect that the next moment, his fingers hooking the bag would suddenly feel loose, he was stunned, but couldn't help it Zhu raised his face and looked at Xu Xin standing in front of him, only to see that the other party was still looking at him. After a few seconds, he looked away and turned his face away, and said to the direction of the residential building not far away: "Let's go."

Lin An didn't say a word, and after a little hesitation, he quietly followed behind the other party.

Xu Xin picked up the plastic bag containing the wound medicine that had just been taken out of the pharmacy, and made a slight sound as he walked.

Xu Xin still didn't inquire about the specific location of Lin An's residence, and walked ahead with ease, and soon arrived in front of a certain unit.
