implication

"Can you really help me settle it?" The homeowner has asked this question for the third time.

"Yeah." Because of answering too many times, Ning Fei seemed very impatient, frowned and looked at the owner, "Are you doubting my ability?"

"Hahahaha, no way." The homeowner smiled and finally stopped asking the fourth time.

Ning Fei secretly thanked God in his heart, and would really get angry if he asked him again.Now I can calm down and watch the surveillance video carefully.

"Stop here!" Ning Fei yelled to stop the video.The homeowner paused the screen in time, and the screen stopped at the man who was waving a brick and was about to throw it at Wang Cai who was chasing him.Ning Fei narrowed his eyes and approached the monitor, "Can you circle the face and enlarge it?"

The homeowner said regretfully, "No, I bought this monitor second-hand, it's very old."

"Then adjust it later."

The homeowner sat in front of the monitor and spread his hands, "There is no picture behind, the monitor was maliciously damaged."

Ning Fei frowned again, urging the owner to get up, and sat down in front of the monitor, wishing he could poke his head into it.But there is no way, because of the problem of the angle, the surveillance cannot capture the whole face, and the picture is very blurry.

"It seems that he knew there was surveillance and deliberately avoided his face."

"Ah? Then what should I do? Can you still help me settle it?"

"Don't worry." Ning Fei put his hands in front of the bridge of his nose, and looked hard at the suspended surveillance screen, trying to find clues, "Wait, there is something wrong with this person."

"What's wrong?" The homeowner himself watched the surveillance video no less than ten times, but couldn't see any clues.

Ning Fei moved the video forward to the moment when Wangcai ran out of the door. The paused screen showed that the man was holding a sharp stone to carve pictures on the wall. Wangcai rushed after seeing his behavior. He yelled.

"He is holding a stone in his left hand, is he left-handed?" Ning Fei said and looked at the right hand of the person in the picture, "This is... he doesn't have a thumb on his right hand?"

The homeowner bent down and took a closer look, "Oh, it's true. This person doesn't have a thumb on his right hand. Is he born with a disability?"

Ning Fei shook his head, "It may also be a gambler who failed to repay the debt and was cut off by the creditor to repay the debt."

"Isn't that a desperado? This kind of person is not easy to mess with. Let's forget it."

Ning Fei didn't listen to the owner's advice, the person staring at the screen suddenly widened his eyes, muttered and repeated, "Is there a thumb missing on the right hand?"

Isn't that the person who was following Lin Chen the day the accident happened?Who the hell is he?He specifically mentioned Lin Chen's watch to Boss Xue, so that Boss Xue forced him to repay the debt, and now he actually picked up Feng Lin who was injured by him?

Ning Fei thought for a while and really had no impression of the man who was missing a thumb on his right hand.The only thing that is certain is that he cannot get rid of Lin Chen's injury, and Ning Fei must teach him a lesson.

"Ah." The owner cautiously called Ning Fei who was thinking.

"What's the matter?" Ning Fei glanced at the owner with displeasure.

"Your phone has been ringing since just now."

Ning Fei came back to his senses, and quickly picked up the phone that was on the table that had been vibrating non-stop. He was worried that it was Lin Chi who called him.

"What's wrong, Lin Chi?"

"Sorry to disappoint you. It's me." Shui Xin's voice came from the opposite side.

Ning Fei's nervous expression sank instantly, and her voice faded, "What do you want from me?"

"Your tone is really chilling." Shui Xin on the opposite side dragged on and complained.

"It's okay, I'm hanging up."

"Oh——, wait!" Fortunately, there was no clear and crisp busy tone on the phone, Shui Xin heaved a sigh of relief, "Didn't you say that you want to borrow the venue? I'm ready. Will you come tonight? No , I have to open as usual. How much money I have to lose by closing the door for you for a day. "

"Understood, I owe you a favor."

Shui Xin's teasing voice came from the phone, "Then how do you plan to pay it back? It would be good to promise with your body."

After a while of silence, Shui Xin let out a long sigh, "Understood, I can't take a joke like this, so come here early at night. I have to return the piano when it's over."

Before Ning Fei could take the initiative, Shui Xin hung up the phone first.Ning Fei glanced at the black screen of the phone indifferently, and then handed the phone to the homeowner, "Copy the video to my phone. I will help you solve your problem."

"Okay." The homeowner smiled and took Ning Fei's phone.

After copying the video, Ning Fei took the phone and planned to leave.The homeowner was still worried and sent Ning Fei out, "You said you could help me solve it. If this continues, I won't be able to keep this apartment anymore."

"Understood. I will help you solve it." Ning Fei stepped out of the door, turned around to say goodbye to the owner, and accidentally glanced at the wall next to him.He remembered that the man was carving something on the wall on the surveillance screen.

Ning Fei frowned, and walked towards the wall. The house owner also followed him curiously, bumping into Ning Fei's shoulder inadvertently.

"Oops. You should stop and say it first." The homeowner rubbed his sore nose and blamed Ning Fei who had stopped suddenly.But he heard the sound of Ning Fei hitting the wall with his fist.The owner of the house was so frightened that he stopped being so eccentric, and muttered in a low voice, "That's all I said, don't threaten me so meanly."

Ning Fei nailed his fists hard to the wall, because he saw Lin Qiu's phone number written on the wall, followed by a line of words, "200 nights, you are satisfied."

Those harassing phone calls were all made to Lin Chi by the gangsters who came here to indulge themselves.

"Bring a rag!"

"Why do you need a rag all of a sudden?" The homeowner was a little confused about Ning Fei's actions. He watched Ning Fei walk down the wall, and then turned around and yelled at him fiercely, "Get out with the bucket!"

Lin Chen didn't come to work for two days, and when he came to work, he attracted the attention of all walks of life.Sitting in front of the workbench, he was about to start his daily life as a carpenter, but Master Lin snatched the file from his hand.

"Lin Chen, wait a minute. What's going on with your head?" The three masters all stared at Lin Chen's gauze-wrapped head.

"Yes." Master Liao twirled the little beard on his chin, "Didn't you be fine when you left work early the day before yesterday? Why did you end up like this when you didn't see anyone for two days?"

Lin Chi just lowered his head, and said in a muffled voice, "I knocked it accidentally."

"Accidentally smashed? It's so accidental."

Lin Qiu lowered his head lower and lower.Seeing this, Master Xu coughed a few words, and elbowed Master Liao's arm to make him stop talking, "Okay, there's still a lot of work to do. Don't hang around here anymore."

Master Lin, Master Liao naturally understood the meaning of what Master Xu said, and those who knew each other dispersed.After the two masters left, Master Xu took a meaningful look at Lin Chi, "Take care of yourself when you are away from home, and your parents will love you knowing that."

Mentioning his parents, Lin Qiu's nose suddenly became a little sore.He is a child held in the hands of his parents. Since he was a child, his father only said that he wanted him to be healthy, and his mother said that he only wanted him to live a kind and happy life.But now...

Now even I almost don't know myself anymore, my sensitive nerves love to care about, and my temper is also bad.Lin Chen didn't want to do this, but he didn't know what was the root cause of his becoming like this.I just kept blaming myself, feeling that I had failed my parents' expectations.

On this day, Lin Chen was less motivated to work than before, so he took time off and just repeated the work mechanically.People look very dull, different from the usual smiling and hard-working look.From time to time, Master Lin stopped what he was doing and looked back at the dazed Lin Qu. When he turned his head, his eyes met Master Xu's unexpectedly. The two looked at each other, shook their heads, and turned their bodies silently.

Lin Ling blankly planed the boards, and the piled wood flowers fell to his feet, reminding him of the day Ning Fei taught him to ride a bicycle, when he sat in the back seat and opened his eyes to see the little white flowers dotted in the bushes.In a daze, the barb in his hand tore a piece.Lin Chi frowned in pain, and sat dazed with his hands wrapped around his fingers.

Why did I become like this?

When it was time to get off work in the evening, Master Liao no longer asked Lin Chen to clean up the house, and urged him to go back to rest and leave the cleaning to him.Lin Chen didn't agree, he just didn't want to make himself feel special because of his considerate care.Once it becomes special, without the pattern he is usually used to, Lin Qiu will keep thinking that something is wrong with him.

He still insisted on what he was supposed to do, and asked the three masters to leave after get off work, and he stayed to clean up after work.The three masters could not be persuaded, but had no choice but to go first.When he walked out of the shopping mall, he was still muttering, "There seems to be something wrong with Lin Qian. Is something wrong?"

"Forget it, I don't want to talk about it because he looks like that. Some people in this age group don't want to talk about their troubles."

"But he's gone too far abnormally. How could a person who is so well-behaved and easy to get along with suddenly become gloomy and withdrawn?"

"Adolescence, maybe it will be fine after a while."

These words fell into the ears of Ning Fei who was waiting at the entrance of the shopping mall.He came out from behind the pillar, looked at the backs of the three old men going away, and worried whether there would be other criticisms about Lin Chi's resumption of work today.The ground staff of the shopping mall had already started to prepare for get off work, but Ning Fei hadn't seen Lin Chen yet.

Ning Fei took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Lin Chi, but his thumb hung on the phone screen for a long time, but he still didn't make a call.He just put his phone back into his pocket, intending to continue waiting for Lin Chi here.

Lin Chen swept the floor and helped to organize the tools on the workbench.Master Liao's table is the messiest.Unused accessories are scattered here and there one by one.Lin Ling helped put them into the drawer one by one, spring leaf, screwdriver, and finally stopped on a hollow hex nut.

Lin Chi looked at the hexagonal nut on the table. He used to feel that his mechanical life was purposeless, like a hollow nut. He was too simple. The monotonous life in the past was not counted. Only now did he realize that he was a hexagonal nut. Vacuum the nut of the heart, can't find the reason, can't tell the direction.

The nut made a clanging sound when it was thrown into the tool box, and it was mixed with other large tools. It is estimated that it will not be found someday.All kinds of silver-white utensils in the tool box glowed with cold light, the light went out with a snap, and the door was closed. In the darkness, there was another "ding" in the tool box, as if the nut stuck in the middle fell down. Really falls to the bottom of the tool box.

It was a cool night, and Lin Chen shuddered when he left the shopping mall. Before he finished shaking, he was wearing a leather jacket.Lin Chen looked up at Ning Fei who was covering himself with clothes.Before he could speak, Ning Fei seemed to be afraid, so he preempted the words, "I'll pick you up from get off work." After speaking, he opened the woolen cap he was clutching in his hand and carefully put it on for Lin Qiao.

The hat belonged to Ning Fei, and originally wanted to buy a new hat for Lin Chen, but he was afraid that the new hat would strangle his wound, and Lin Chen would feel uncomfortable.Lin Qiu's head looked smaller than his own, and he still looked like a childish child. Ning Fei thought that wearing his own hat should not strangle the wound.

Ning Fei was right.The hat was just right on Lin Qiu's head, not too loose or too tight.Ning Fei looked at Lin Kai wearing his hat and smiled contentedly.Lin Chi looked at him but turned his head away.Ning Fei's embarrassing smile stayed on his face.

Lin Chen didn't dodge Ning Fei on purpose, but his actions were so obvious, it's hard to believe that he didn't say it was intentional, even he couldn't believe it.He just felt that he didn't know what to do. Seeing Ning Feixin being turned into a paste, the more he looked at it, the more he doubted himself, so he could only avoid it.

Ning Fei pretended to be calm, afraid that he would be a burden to Lin Chen, and his voice was light and soft, "Can I take you somewhere?"

Lin Chen shook his head. Ever since Feng Lin did that to him, he didn't want to stay outside any longer. He just wanted to go home early and hide in the "yurt" that Ning Fei surrounded him, hugging the bear, leaning against the bear. Wall goes to bed earlier.

"It won't take too long, and I can go back right away."

Ning Fei's begging voice made Lin Chen's heart skip a beat, and finally he hung his head and grabbed Ning Fei's clothes and whispered, "Let's go."

Ning Fei smiled sincerely this time, the joy on his face was undisguised, and he nodded vigorously, "Well, I'll take you there."

Lin Chi thought that Ning Fei would bring him somewhere, but he ended up at the entrance of the Happy Garden Bar.He stood in front of the bar with some hesitation, remembering the first time he came to the bar, all kinds of eyes were thrown at him and looked at him jokingly.At that time, I just felt a little embarrassed and a little nervous, but nothing else.But now Lin Chen can no longer be in the eyes of judging him, he will be afraid.

Ning Fei could see his fear from Lin Qu's trembling body, and wanted to go up and hug his shoulders to cheer him up, but Lin Qu was in a state where strangers and acquaintances were not allowed to enter, so he could only put his hands on the seam of his trousers. After rubbing it up and down, suppressing the thought of reaching out to Lin Qiu, he whispered to comfort Lin Qiu, "The bar is closed today, only Jiang Ze and Shui Xin are here. You know them."

Lin Chen looked up at the closed sign hanging on the door, swallowed, and said in a low voice, "Ning Fei, can I go?"

"Lin Chen, I have something I want to show you. Would you like to leave after reading it?"

At this moment, Lin Chen looked at Ning Fei squarely, and seeing the pleading expression on his face, he nodded slightly.Ning Fei smiled at him and led him into the bar.

Shui Xin was standing in front of the stage with folded arms and directing, "Move the things behind the stage to the side to make room, and move the microphone forward. Be careful, this piano is borrowed."

Lin Chi followed behind Ning Fei, Ning Fei's broad shoulders completely blocked his sight.He listened to Shui Xin's instructions with high spirits, and wondered in his heart, didn't he say that it was closed tonight?Looking around from the corner of the eye, there were indeed no customers, neither the booths nor the bar were empty.

Looking at the empty hall, Lin Chen was a little confused. Since there were no guests, why did Shui Xin arrange the stage so solemnly?Lin Chen tilted his head to see from behind Ning Fei, only to see Shui Xin in front of the stage rushing to the stage and shouting nervously.Lin Chen looked at the stage, and saw that it was Shui Xin who was instructing the porters to adjust the position of the piano.

Lin Chi remembered that there was no piano in this bar.He was a little puzzled, and looked up to see Ning Fei.But Shui Xin just turned around at this time, Lin Quan was taken aback for a moment, and saw Shui Xin smiling at him.Terrified, Lin Chi immediately hid behind Ning Fei.

After adjusting his breathing, Lin Chen recollected the smile when Shui Xin turned around just now.The corners of the lips were slightly raised, with a hint of vagueness in it, and Lin Qiu could see that it was actually ambiguous.He looked up at the back of Ning Fei's neck, stopped in his tracks, and realized that Shui Xin's ambiguous smile just now was for Ning Fei.

Lin Chen felt uncomfortable, because when Shui Xin turned around and smiled at Ning Fei, his gaze was on a part of himself, and his smile became more open.Like... like it was intended for him to see.

Ning Fei didn't notice that Lin Chen behind him stopped. He looked at the piano set up on the stage, then at Shui Xin who was smiling at him, and smiled back at Shui Xin with gratitude.

Seeing this, Lin Chen grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly, and something on his chest was also tightly clenched, making him unable to breathe.

Ning Fei didn't notice, but Shui Xin did, noticing the sudden change of eyes of the dull Lin Chi.But he still just smiled, looked at Ning Fei who was walking towards him, turned around and went to the stage together with Ning Fei.

Ning Fei turned his head to look at Shui Xin in a strange way, wondering why Shui Xin walked up the stage with him.Shui Xin just smiled and said, "Go to the stage to see if there is anything in the way, it needs to be cleaned up."

"Thank you."

I haven't heard Ning Fei and himself being so polite for many years.Shui Xin frowned, and said calmly, "You're welcome, it's not for you that you did it so carefully, it's just that this borrowed piano is very expensive."

Ning Fei raised his eyes to look at the piano placed in the center of the stage. Looking at the piano illuminated by light, he felt a little timid in his heart. He hadn't touched the piano for many years.

Shui Xin was also looking at the piano, accidentally tripped over her feet, and was about to rush forward with her hands outstretched.Jiang Ze, who was straightening the wires under the stage, saw it, and shouted Shui Xin's name in fright, lost the wires he had just straightened and was about to run to the stage, but the distance was too far and it was too slow.

Shui Xin was only one foot away from the piano, and he was hanging obliquely in front of the piano. It was Ning Fei who picked him up, so that Shui Xin fell on the piano unsteadily.Shui Xin stood firm, patted her chest, still in shock, "Fortunately, you acted in time, if this piano gets scratched at all, I will pay for it."

Ning Fei walked towards the piano in silence, Shui Xin looked at him from behind, and suddenly realized that this was not the aggressive Ning Fei he knew, the light hit a protruding bone in the back of his neck, his shoulders slightly raised , the whole person looked with a kind of cowardly tenderness.

A piercing cold came from behind, Shui Xin shook her body, and turned her head to see Lin Qu staring at her gloomyly.Because the bar is closed today, and the lobby did not turn on a few more lights, Shui Xin didn't pay much attention to Lin Qu's expression, and his hair covered most of his face. Shui Xin could only see Lin Qu's chin vaguely, as if It was because of the tight lips that Lin Qiu's round chin showed many gullies.

Shui Xin sighed, if it was said that she smiled at Ning Fei just now to show Lin Quan on purpose, then her fall just now was definitely an accident, and it had nothing to do with her own scheming.Now it is estimated that too much firewood is added to the fire.Shui Xin looked at Ning Fei who was standing in front of the piano, feeling in her heart, feelings are such a troublesome thing, they can actually change people's personality drastically, one here and another there.

Jiang Ze rushed up at this time, and asked Shui Xin with concern, "Are you okay?"

Shui Xin shook her head, but thought in her heart, I don't want it, I don't want to be swayed by feelings and make myself not like myself.Jiang Ze wanted to reach out to check if Shui Xin was injured, but Shui Xin blocked his hand, didn't look at him, and just said, "Shh, it's about to start."
