I'm sorry you blocked me

Chapter 22【Persistence】

The next day Li Hai didn't run into Jiang Yu in front of the alley, but when he was buying fritters, he heard the stall owner's old lady say that the police came in the middle of the night last night, and she didn't know what was going on, and it took a long time to calm down.

Li Hai inexplicably had a bad premonition, looked at the time, and simply took out his phone and called Jiang Yu.

The phone rang several times before Jiang Yu answered it. Her voice was hoarse and nasal, as if she hadn't woken up.

"Not up yet?" Li Hai bit the fried dough stick and said, "I'll wait for you at the alley."

"Oh..." Jiang Yu probably got out of bed, and said with a trembling voice, "I'm... not feeling well today. I asked Xu Yiyan for leave. You should go first."

"Ask for leave?" Li Hai paused his hand holding the fritters, and slowed down his pace, "Are you sick? Have you taken your medicine? Have you gone to see a doctor?"

"It's nothing." Jiang Yu coughed twice, hesitated and told the truth, "I'm not with my dad, I'm at Zuo Chi's house, you don't have to wait for me today."

"Oh." Li Hai still wanted to ask a few more words, but Zuo Chi's voice came from the other end of the phone calling for something to go out, so Li Hai could only say: "Then I'll go first, you have a good rest, tell me if you have anything to say One sound."

"Okay." Jiang Yu smiled, and said softly, "Thank you."

Li Hai hung up the phone, but didn't leave in a hurry, he stood there for a while, and after eating the fried dough sticks, he turned around and went back to the fried dough sticks stall owner.

"Mother-in-law." Li Hai took out the money, "buy another five fried dough sticks...well, can I ask you something?"

"Let's talk." The old woman said with a smile while holding the fried dough sticks: "You want to find someone? Ask for directions? I know this movie well!"

"I'm looking for someone." Li Hai said, "Jiang Yu, do you know him? He seems to live here?"

"Xiaoyu." The old lady nodded, "I know him, I have been a neighbor for many years, I watched him grow up."

Li Hai put his fingers on the edge of his trousers and rubbed them, feeling a little nervous without even realizing it, and asked: "He and I are...classmates, can you please tell me where he lives? I'll send him things there."

"Send something." The old woman wrapped the fried dough sticks, handed them to Li Hai, hesitated for a moment and said, "Is it homework? Books? Or...money? A gift?"

Li Hai was a little puzzled, is this old woman more curious than herself?

He said casually, "It's just class notes."

"Oh, that doesn't matter." The old woman wiped her hands on the apron, then turned her head to show Li Hai, "Follow this alley, there is a broken street lamp at the end, oh, you don't know if it's broken or not Bad... There is a missing person notice posted on the street lamp, it was last year, and the iron gate facing the street lamp, just go in and ask the security guard."

Li Hai thanked him, then looked at his watch again, there was not much time left for the morning exercise, and he probably had to be late.

To go, or not to go?Should I wait for Jiang Yu to tell me, or should I investigate secretly?

Holding a bag of fried dough sticks, Li Hai hesitated for a long time, and finally walked in along the base of the wall, found the iron door, reached out and knocked on the glass door of the security room.

The security guard who dozed off with squinted eyes inside was startled, opened his eyes in a daze for a few seconds before looking at Li Hai.

"Who are you looking for?" The security guard frowned.

"Excuse me... Which unit does Jiang Yu live in?"

"Jiang Yu?" The security guard looked Li Hai up and down, and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"

"Student." Li Hai stood up straight, tugged at the collar of his school uniform, "I'll give him something."

"...the first room on the third floor of unit two." The security guard paused and said, "But he's not here now, and there's no one there when you go."

"Is that so." Li Hai frowned, and changed the subject, "Will the police come again?"

"Who knows." The security guard clicked his tongue, as if the two of them had met some secret signal, the security guard shook his head, "Jiang Mingxing is really not a thing, this kind of guy should be locked up and educated. Is it from your father? Hey, have you mentioned this to your teacher?"

"...Not yet, Jiang Yu will mention it himself." Li Hai's voice sank, he didn't want to ask more questions, he could only infer a general idea from the other party's few words.

Sure enough, something happened at Jiang Yu's house.Earlier, the old lady mentioned that there were more policemen coming at midnight. As soon as the security guard heard him ask about Jiang Yu, he knew that Jiang Yu was not at home last night. Although the two are not necessarily related, it is not necessarily unrelated. He just asked casually. I was really cheated by myself.

He didn't say any more, thanked people in a hurry and left.After leaving the alley, he took a taxi and rushed directly to the school.

He was late for morning practice, but no one cared.Lei Ge escaped the morning practice again today, Wang Hao was losing his temper on the court, and Lao Yang stood at the window talking on the phone with a cigarette in his hand, his brows were furrowed, it seemed that there was something important.

Li Hai put down his schoolbag, took off his school uniform jacket, warmed up on the sidelines and walked into the stadium.When Wang Hao saw him, he raised his hand and hit the basketball on the backboard before bouncing off.

Li Hai jumped up and caught the ball. Someone rushed over to intercept it. Wang Hao blew his whistle. Taking advantage of the opponent's distraction for a moment, Li Hai strode around the opponent. ... did not enter.

A team member grabbed the rebound and rushed towards the opposite basket. Wang Hao caught up and turned his head to glare at Li Hai.

Li Hai clenched his fists and took a few breaths on the spot, once, twice, three times, not only did his breathing not go smoothly, but it became more and more rapid, his heart beat faster, and his boredom grew bigger and bigger like a snowball.

Wang Hao wanted to intercept the ball, but he took off one step late, the opponent passed the ball, and then another partner made a layup and scored.

The team members acting as referees at the side of the court turned the page of the scoreboard, and Wang Hao clicked his tongue. Several people were playing in full swing, when they heard a loud "bang" sound from the opposite side.

The whole stadium fell silent.

Wang Hao looked at the opposite ball basket in surprise, under the ball basket, Li Hai punched the iron railing, seemed to be still angry, kicked again, and then walked towards Lao Yang with a sullen expression on his face.

"What's the matter?" Someone asked, "Eh? Where's Jiang Yu?"

"Didn't you quarrel with Jiang Yu?"

"Does Li Hai still have this side? I thought he would never get angry with others."

Wang Hao patted the ball, kept silent, followed behind Li Hai with probing eyes, and looked around at Lao Yang's face who had been talking on the phone.

"Maybe something happened to Jiang Yu." Wang Hao said suddenly.

"Ah?" Some team members were curious, "What happened? Captain, do you know?"

"I don't know." Wang Hao turned away, and roared with fierce triangular eyes, "None of your business? Practice the ball for me! Come on, serve again, referee, come here!"

Looking at Li Hai's expression, Lao Yang's head hurt, he raised his hand as a gesture of waiting, and continued to talk to the phone: "Just pretend you don't know about this, and wait for him to contact you by himself. "

I didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone, but Lao Yang said again: "That kid's self-esteem is higher than the sky. If you let him know that you know everything, he will avoid you in the future. You listen to me, yes, he also I'm not an idiot, I'll tell you what I should tell you sooner or later, just wait patiently, I'll watch over him, don't worry."

Li Hai heard something, stopped behind Lao Yang, squinted his eyes and pricked up his ears, with the expression of a German hunting dog discovering its prey.

It took Lao Yang a while to finish talking on the phone, and after hanging up, he was not in a hurry to explain to Li Hai, he first finished smoking the butt of the cigarette in his hand, and then said, "Do you know about Jiang Yu?"

"I know the police came to their house yesterday, but I don't know the details. What's going on? Did something happen to him?"

"...I said why are you gossiping like this? Look at your players, is there anyone like you? Don't focus on training, all day long..."

Li Hai interrupted Lao Yang impatiently, "What happened, I need to know, I am his friend."

Lao Yang was stunned, looked into Li Hai's eyes, "Does he consider you a friend?"

"What's this?" Li Hai said: "You have seen how I get along with him these days. I think he regards me as a friend."

"...Hmph, for so many years, he has only mixed with Lu Zhengneng. In junior high school, although he was popular, he didn't have any friendship with anyone." Lao Yang rubbed his index finger and thumb together , because of smoking all the year round, his knuckles are a little yellow, and there are many calluses, "Jiang Yu is not easy to talk to people, that is Lu Zheng, look, is there anyone like you who asks questions all the time? "

"He is him, I am me, I sincerely regard him as a friend." Li Hai said seriously: "Coach, what happened to Jiang Yu, I am really worried about him."

"What's the use of worrying about him? Me, his class teacher, and his family will help him, you little brats..."

Lao Yang wanted to bring this matter over, but Li Hai refused to give in.Lao Yang wanted to bypass him and leave, but Li Hai blocked his way with a step.

"Coach." Li Hai stared into Lao Yang's eyes, "You may not like to hear what I said, but... the head teacher you mentioned, you, and his family, they are all elders, including you, you You only use your thoughts to make decisions for a junior, but have you ever experienced his feelings? You think about problems from completely different angles, and you don’t want a person of his generation to stand on the same line with him Help him?"

Lao Yang paused and frowned, "What do you children know? You don't make things worse and worse. What happened to the elders? Will the elders harm you?"

"What you think is good, is it really good in his opinion?" Li Hai asked neither humble nor overbearing: "Do you dare to say that all the considerations you have done for him will really make him happy?"

Lao Yang kept silent, because the answer was obvious.If Jiang Yu was really happy, and those elders really helped him, he wouldn't give up his favorite basketball for a while.

The harsh and rhythmic sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor in the training room was the most reassuring sound Lao Yang had heard in half his life.The sound of the basketball hitting the floor, the sound of Wang Hao yelling, and the sound of the referee blowing the whistle, all of these are full of youthful breath and long-lasting memories in Lao Yang's mind.

Who hasn't been impulsive, who hasn't been youthful and passionate, and who hasn't experienced bewilderment and unwilling struggle on this road?

How many friends did you have by your side at that time?Although they don't know where they are now, they have left many good memories for themselves.

But what is there around Jiang Yu?

Lao Yang sighed, finally turned to face Li Hai, thought for a while and said: "After school at noon, you go to a place with me."
