Morbid Addiction

The lobby of Fuxiang Building has more than a dozen tables empty, and there are still five or six tables of guests still drinking.

Chen Yuncheng came down from the second floor, stood on the side of the road, turned around and looked at Zhou Yan who was going down the stairs.

Zhou Yan's steps were heavy, he walked all the way to Chen Yuncheng, and then stopped, with his hands in the pockets of his cotton coat, he called out, "Brother Cheng."

There were no pedestrians on the side of the road at this time, and a taxi was parked not far in front, and the driver was probably waiting for customers.

Chen Yuncheng asked Zhou Yan: "Didn't you not work with Zhang Wenyong?"

Zhou Yan lowered his head and did not speak.

Chen Yuncheng's tone was a little irritable, "Speak."

Zhou Yan still lowered his head, and said softly: "I want to make money to operate on my son."

Chen Yuncheng looked at him and asked, "Did Zhang Wenyong give you money? What did he ask you to do for him?"

Zhou Yan was silent for a while, then raised his head and said, "Brother Cheng, don't ask, just pretend you don't know?"

"What's the matter?" Chen Yuncheng repeated in a serious tone.

Zhou Yan shook his head slowly.

Chen Yuncheng said: "You have been with Zhang Wenyong for a long time, don't you know what kind of person he is? His money is so easy to get?"

Zhou Yan raised his hand and rubbed his face vigorously, "I know, but what can I do? That's my son, I can't just watch him die!" He paused briefly, his tone became a little excited, "I I even discussed it with Jiajia, or I won’t be cured, and I will have another one in the future, but no, I can’t do it.”

As he spoke, he squatted down on the side of the road, covering his face with his hands as if to cover up his intense emotions.

Chen Yuncheng looked down at him: "Try to borrow it from someone else."

Zhou Yan raised his head and looked at him, "Brother Cheng, you have lent me all your 3 yuan, who else can I borrow it from? People like us, people know that they have lent it to me, and I can't pay it back."

Chen Yuncheng stood quietly for a while, "So Zhang Wenyong gave you money and asked you to help him?"

Zhou Yan pursed his lips, "Brother Cheng, if I don't tell you, just pretend you don't know. I know that policeman surnamed Long often comes to harass you. I don't want him to embarrass you if anything happens in the future."

"Paper can't hold fire," Chen Yuncheng bent down, putting a hand on Zhou Yan's shoulder, "There will be an accident one day."

Zhou Yan said: "Then I will cure my son's illness first."

When Chen Yuncheng was about to speak again, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed two tall figures walking towards them along the side of the road.

He looked up subconsciously, and by the light of the street lamp, he saw the faces of the two people clearly. They were the two members of the X clan that Long Zhanyu asked him to help pay attention to.

Zhou Yan also noticed it. He stood up from the ground and looked at the two people as well.

At this time, there happened to be a table of eight or nine guests coming down from the second floor after dinner. These middle-aged men were all drunk and making noise while going down the stairs.

Chen Yuncheng pretended to be attracted, grabbed Zhou Yan's arm and pushed away two steps while looking at the group of middle-aged people.

These people obviously still have more to say, standing on the side of the road and still chatting with each other in groups of twos and threes, some are calling for a driver, and some are hailing a taxi on the roadside.

The two X clansmen approached, and stopped between Chen Yuncheng and Zhou Yan, separated by the group of middle-aged people.

One of them shouted in broken Chinese: "Is he upstairs?"

Chen Yuncheng saw Zhou Yan nodded at the other party.

The two X people didn't notice Chen Yuncheng, including the tall young man who had met in the bar, they didn't seem to recognize Chen Yuncheng. After getting Zhou Yan's answer, the two walked towards the stairs.

Amidst the noisy voices beside him, Zhou Yan said to Chen Yuncheng: "Brother Cheng, I have to go back."

Chen Yuncheng didn't ask about the two members of the X clan, but said, "Are you going back to Zhang Wenyong's place?"

Zhou Yan nodded, "It's getting late, you go back first, I'll help you get a taxi." After speaking, he raised his hand to hail a passing taxi.

Chen Yuncheng pressed his arm, "No need, I can go back by myself."

Zhou Yan was silent for a while, and then said: "Guan Anlin has come out, he won't trouble you, will he?"

Chen Yuncheng shook his head, "Don't worry about me, I hope you can think about your matter again."

Zhou Yan didn't answer, just said: "Then I'll go up first." After speaking, he turned and walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor.

Chen Yuncheng watched him leave, until his back disappeared, then turned around and walked along the side of the road, towards the bus stop in front.

At this time, there were very few passengers on the bus. After getting on the bus, Chen Yuncheng easily found a seat. He sat down with complicated emotions, and took out his mobile phone from his jacket pocket.

Chen Yuncheng subconsciously searched for Long Zhanyu's phone number, but did not press the dial button for a long time, and finally backed out, finding an account on WeChat that he hadn't contacted for a long time.

In fact, this person had dinner with him at Fuxianglou just now, but apart from a greeting when they met, the two of them never talked again.

Chen Yuncheng sent him a WeChat message: "Can you get Guan Anlin's phone number for me?"

The other party never replied.

It wasn't until Chen Yuncheng returned to his small shop, took a shower and lay on the bed that the other party replied with a mobile phone number, followed by another message: "Brother Cheng, don't say I told you."

Chen Yuncheng was a little amused, and replied to him: "No problem, thank you." Afterwards, he saved the phone number.

Looking at the time, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, Chen Yuncheng dialed Guan Anlin's mobile phone number.

The phone rang several times before Guan Anlin picked it up, and said "Hello" indifferently.

Chen Yuncheng said: "I am Chen Yuncheng."

The phone was hung up immediately.

Chen Yuncheng listened to the busy tone on the receiver, put the phone away, glanced at their brief chat history, and then composed a text message and sent it: "An Lin, let's meet and chat when we have time, just the two of us."

Guan Anlin never replied to him, and Chen Yuncheng was not surprised. He threw away the phone and pulled up the quilt, covering most of his face with only his eyes exposed. He sighed secretly and closed his eyes to sleep.

Chen Yuncheng hesitated to call Long Zhanyu, he wanted to visit Zhou Yan's son in the hospital again.

Chen Yuncheng still brought a carton of milk, and tried hard to scrape together 1000 yuan in cash.He knew that this little money would not do much for Zhou Yan, but he really had no money.

When going out of the shop in the afternoon, Chen Yuncheng closed the shutter door and stood at the door of the shop, looking at his small shop, suddenly thinking that if he sold the whole shop, would he be able to sell it for [-] to [-] yuan?

He didn't know what to do, so he wobbled towards the subway station with the milk in his hand.

Zhou Yan works outside during the day, and Zhou Yan's girlfriend Gu Yaojia is still with the child in the pediatric ward of the hospital.

When Chen Yuncheng arrived, the child was undergoing an infusion. The infusion needle was inserted through the scalp, and the little one was lying on the hospital bed, looking very pitiful.

Gu Yaojia looked thinner, there was no makeup on her face, and her cheeks and lips were pale.

Chen Yuncheng sat beside the hospital bed, looked at the child on the bed, and asked Gu Yaojia: "Do you know what Zhou Yan is doing now?"

Gu Yaojia stood by the bed and said, "He said he was selling cars."

Chen Yuncheng asked: "The agency fee for selling used cars is very high now?"

Gu Yaojia shook her head, "I don't know either. But his boss seems to be quite nice and willing to lend him money."

Looking at Gu Yaojia's expression, Chen Yuncheng guessed that she didn't know anything, and when he sat for a while and was about to leave, he gave Gu Yaojia 1000 yuan.

Gu Yaojia was stunned, and said, "Brother Cheng, I can't ask for your money anymore. Zhou Yan said that you lent him all your savings."

Chen Yuncheng stuffed it into her hand, "Hold it first, I will tell Zhou Yan. The brothers we grew up together, when he needs help, I can't ignore him."

Gu Yaojia evaded a few more words, and finally accepted Chen Yuncheng's money.

Chen Yuncheng came out of the ward and felt his phone vibrate. He took out his phone and looked at it while walking towards the elevator. He saw that it was Ning Junyan who sent a WeChat message: "I'm back, let's have dinner together tonight."

He didn't even ask Chen Yuncheng if he was free, as if it was an unkind order.

But Chen Yuncheng still laughed when he saw it, and replied: "Okay."

The author has something to say: Why do you like it but don't want to sleep?Don't you have a little sister who you have a good relationship with and you like very much, do you want to sleep with her!

What I said yesterday was mainly because I didn’t want to have too many cult or np comments in the comment area, because I don’t know how to write like that, and I don’t have that tendency, and it’s easy to quarrel in the comment area

Also, there are too many supporting roles, so if I don’t want to see the comments of a certain character, I will pretend that I haven’t seen it.
