Gu An was taken aback by his question: "..."

Jiang Yu didn't ask any more questions, looked away, opened the drawer, took out a small folder, opened it and shook it.

"what is this?"

Jiang Yu spread things out: "Photos."

Gu An immediately forgot the mess in his mind before, and curiously picked up one.

The photo should have been taken a long time ago, and the edges and corners are turned up with rough edges, with a warm yellow tone.

Above is the silhouette of a little boy, with white short-sleeved shorts and blue shorts, with limp hair, smiling vaguely without looking at the camera.

"This is a photo of me in elementary school, seven or eight years old." Jiang Yu said.

Gu An smiled: "It can be seen that she looks very similar to now."

He put it back, and casually picked up another one from the pile of photos.

The man in the photo is tall, wearing a black coat, leaning in front of a car, his brows furrowed with impatience.

Gu An vaguely remembered where he had seen it before.

"This is my dad." Jiang Yu's voice was calm.

Gu An was taken aback for a moment, as if he was a little at a loss.

Only then did he remember that some time ago, this was the man who had appeared at the gate of their downstairs community.

Gu An seemed to want to say something, but he never spoke.

It happened that grandma called them outside: "Come out for dinner!"

Jiang Yu put away the photo and flicked his chin: "Go out."

"Um……"

After eating, Jiang Zhen's mother and daughter went into the house to chat for a while, and they didn't go home from the town until three or four in the afternoon.

Sitting in the car, Jiang Zhen looked at the time: "I have a meeting tomorrow, I'll catch the plane later, you two go back first."

Jiang Yu hummed, looked at her message with her hair lowered, as if she wanted to say something, but didn't speak.

There are not many people in the family, so I didn't buy much for the New Year. After the New Year's Eve dinner, there was nothing left in the refrigerator.

After getting out of the car, Jiang Yu stood at the intersection for a while, then looked back at Gu An: "Let's go to the supermarket."

On the afternoon of the first day of the new year, there was no one in the supermarket, and the two of them were strolling around with their carts.

Grabbing some milk in the cold drink area, the phone suddenly ding-dong.

Jiang Yu picked it up, looked at it, and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Gu An asked.

After a while, Jiang Yu directly put the car in his hand: "I'll go out for a while, you go home after shopping."

Before Gu An could react, he turned around and ran out.

The sun, which was not very bright at first, had already set, and there were faint street lights on the side of the road. Jiang Yu called Li He while running: "Send me a copy of Zhou Meng's address."

Li He was puzzled on the other end of the phone: "What the hell?! You drank too much, I don't know her home address!"

"Aren't you hooking up with the secretary of the Communist Youth League recently, get me one."

As soon as the green light came on, Jiang Yu rushed over.

"Wait a minute, brother! You have to tell me what's going on! What if you have any bad intentions for the girl?" Li He bowed his head and flipped through the address book.

"Get lost!" Jiang Yu frowned and ran towards the school road, panting, "Zhou Meng's father said he ran away from home."

"Damn?" Li He was taken aback, "What does it have to do with you when the girl runs away from home... Could it be that you really have a crush on her?"

Jiang Yu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him: "I'll tell you later, send me the address first."

The contact information ding-dong.

Jiang Yu clicked and glanced: "Thank you, I won't tell you anymore, hang up."

Zhou Meng's family is not in a good family. They live near the suburbs, far away from the school.

Jiang Yu took a taxi, got off at the intersection, and fumbled with the navigation for a long time before finally stopping at the entrance of a messy alley.

There was unmelted snow on the ground, which was muddy on both sides of the road, and the messy fireworks red shreds were stepped on and stuck to the ground, just like the buildings were ruined.

Jiang Yu took a breath and reopened the chat interface with Zhou Meng.

--Sorry, I have no idea of ​​dating.

--I know, can I sit at the same table with you when I adjust the seat next time...

--I don't like to sit with girls.

--...Then can I go to you to ask questions, my math is not very good

In order to avoid even the slightest misunderstanding that might arise, Jiang Yu didn't reply after that.

When Zhou Meng's father first sent the message at 04:30 in the afternoon, he was chatting with Gu An in the car at that time, and he couldn't see it in time.

--I'm sorry classmate, my daughter has no shame and has caused you trouble.

The last one was half an hour ago:

--Hello, classmates!Zhou Meng ran away from home!Did I go to your place?

It took seven or eight minutes for Jiang Yu to see the news.

He quickly figured out what happened, and only replied hastily: No.

Zhou Meng didn't even know where his family lived, let alone secretly looking for him.

Besides... her parents have already stabbed words like shamelessness in the face of her crush, and the person she is most afraid of meeting now should be Jiang Yu.

But it was because of him that this matter became like this, Jiang Yu couldn't ignore it.

It was already dark, and the alley entrance was very quiet, only a bicycle passed by occasionally, and it rode away.

Zhou Meng usually has a very quiet personality, even introverted, and Jiang Yu still doesn't understand how she dared to confess.

With this kind of character, even if you run away from home, you usually won't run very far, and you should still hide in places you are familiar with.

Before coming here, Jiang Yu had already gone to school, but the old man in the bookstore at the door said that he didn't see any little girls passing by.

Jiang Yu frowned, looking around in the dark corners while running in the howling wind.

Someone was shouting from afar: "Zhou Meng!!"

It should be someone from her family, Jiang Yu glanced at their route, turned around and went to another way.

When passing the small park at the fork in the road, there seemed to be some vague movements in the woods next to the bench, like whining.

Jiang Yu stopped suddenly.

Next to the park is a construction site. It is said that an urban water park is to be built. The surrounding area is empty, and even the small park is very desolate.

... Logically speaking, there should be very few people coming here.

Jiang Yu asked, "Zhou Meng?"

There was a moment of silence in the woods, there seemed to be the rustling of stones rubbing against the ground, accompanied by a louder whining sound.

Jiang Yu rushed in immediately.

The person hiding probably also acted impulsively, and ran away in a hurry when he heard someone approaching.

"Ahhhhhhh help!!" Someone started screaming.

Jiang Yu took a look under the faint moonlight, and it was indeed Zhou Meng.

The man ran very fast, and disappeared in only three or four seconds.

The surrounding road conditions were complicated, Jiang Yu supported the tree to pant and did not chase anymore.

He hurriedly memorized the running back, turned his head, frowned and looked at Zhou Meng, took off his coat and threw it on her: "It's all right."

Zhou Meng seemed to have not regained his composure, staring blankly at the front, trembling all over, and it took him a long time to cry out while clutching his clothes.

Jiang Yu only glanced at her briefly, her clothes were a little torn, but luckily she wore a lot of clothes in winter, so nothing happened before.

... If you come a few minutes late, it may be enough.

Jiang Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The wind at night was very cold, and Jiang Yu was freezing silently in a single sweater.

It took a while for Zhou Meng to come back to his senses, looked up at him, returned the clothes to him, and said in a low voice, "...Thank you."

"It's okay." Jiang Yu took it over, paused and asked again, "Shall I take you home?"

Zhou Meng shrank back a bit, shaking his head in panic: "I won't return!"

She gasped for breath twice, as if she was about to fall down at any moment.

Jiang Yu didn't ask much, just said, "Then where are you going?"

"... find a hotel."

Jiang Yu sent the person to the door of the room, glanced at the phone, then looked up again: "I'll go back first."

Zhou Meng's hair was messed up, his face was covered with dried up tears, and he was extremely embarrassed. He lowered his head and repeated: "Thank you...I will pay you back the money."

Jiang Yu's expression was very flat: "You're welcome."

He turned around and was about to leave. After thinking about it, he frowned and added: "There should be a landline in the house. I don't care about the future. Go and explain to your parents."

Zhou Meng bit her lower lip: "...OK."

"Goodbye." Jiang Yu left without looking back.

When I took a taxi back to the community, my mind was already buzzing.

The cold sweat kept breaking out, and the driver was stunned: "What's the matter with you, young man? I don't even turn on the air conditioner!"

Jiang Yu hummed lightly: "...I have a cold."

He got off the car at the entrance of the community, took a breath of air-conditioning against the wind, frowned and coughed twice, and quickly entered the elevator.

When he opened the door and entered, Gu An immediately jumped up from the sofa: "Where did you go! Why did you come back!"

Jiang Yu was sore and weak, too lazy to deal with him, and went straight into the bedroom.

The moment he lay on the bed, his shoulders and legs seemed to sink, and Jiang Yu sighed.

Gu An chased him in, saw his pale face at a glance, and went up to touch him: "It's so hot, do you have a fever?"

Jiang Yu closed his eyes: "Go and pour me some hot water."

Gu An suppressed his doubts, and quickly made him a glass of ginger juice.

Jiang Yu smelled it, and immediately turned his face away, frowning: "I don't drink this."

Gu An held his shoulders with one hand: "After drinking, you won't have to catch a bad cold tomorrow, do you want to get out of bed?"

Jiang Yu was silent for a while, then took it and drank it.

After drinking, he lay back on the bed.

Just as Gu An was about to ask questions, he heard his cell phone ring again.

"Hand it to me." Jiang Yu said with his eyes closed.

Gu An connected it and put it in his ear.

"Hey, Jiang Yu, it's me..."

Jiang Yu quickly opened his eyes: "What's wrong? What happened again?"

Zhou Meng quickly said: "No!"

Her voice was a little soft: "...I just want to ask, are you home yet?"

Jiang Yu closed his eyes again: "Here we are."

It's been a long time since Jiang Yu asked Gu An to hang up the phone, but she heard her say, "I told my parents that I'm staying at a friend's house."

"Ah."

Zhou Meng was silent for a while: "Thank you very much."

"Ah."

"……Good night."

"Goodbye."

Jiang Yu reached out and pressed the hang up button.

He opened his eyes and was about to tell Gu An to put his phone away when he looked up and saw a pair of deep eyes.

With the light behind his back, Gu An couldn't see his expression clearly: "Is it the girl who confessed to you?"

Jiang Yu paused, looked at him, and said nothing.

Gu An was silent, as if he couldn't figure out what reason he was getting angry.

He sat for a long time, then turned and went out: "...I'll get a thermometer."

Over the past year, Gu An has grown up a lot, with flat shoulders and long legs, and he can almost be regarded as a person of the same age just by looking at his back.

But Jiang Yu knew in his heart that their emotional intelligence was still not equal.

For some inexplicable emotion, no matter how consistent the behavior of two people is, the emotion may not be connected.

Jiang Yu closed his eyes.

There are some things that he doesn't want to take risks, and he is not prepared to take risks.
