In the next few days, Liang Chen would come to pick up Mei Jing almost every now and then after school. The two of them drove their motorcycles for a walk and ate delicious food. Mei Jing and his family said that they had gone to make up lessons with Xu Wenyuan. Be like a bird.

Liang Chen called Xu Wenyuan, and asked him to help him tell a lie in case something happened to him, and they thought it would be perfect.

On the fourth day, Liang Chen said that he was going to buy a batch of goods with Yuan Xiaodong, but he didn't come. People blocked.

They asked, "Where is Liang Chen?"

Those two people didn't seem to be good at first glance, but they were different from the fierceness of Yuan Xiaodong and Liang Chen. They grabbed his arms viciously, and they came to seek revenge. Mei Jing almost thought that his hands would be crushed. broke.

He broke free suddenly, and subconsciously ran towards Brother Hua's snack bar, but unfortunately, he was grabbed by one of them with his schoolbag not too far away, and he screamed: "Let me go!"

"Let me ask again where is Liang Chen?"

"do not know!"

"I don't know? I saw that you had a good time with him yesterday. How could you not know that you had such a good time?"

Mei Jing stiffened his neck, blood-red veins burst out on his neck: "I just don't know! He and I are friends!"

The two of them seemed to have heard some ironic joke, approached him with a sneer and said, "My friend, let me tell you a secret, Liang Chen killed someone before and almost went to jail, do you know that? You and a murderer It's enough to be friends!"

The words homicide and crime were still far away in Mei Jing's heart at the time, and he was shocked: "You lied!"

"Cheat? What's the good of lying to you?"

The person next to him said: "Stop talking to him, let him lead the way!"

Mei Jing struggled and shouted: "I don't know where Liang Chen is!"

"It's okay if you don't know, then arrest you and let him find you!"

Just as the man was about to cover Mei Jing's mouth, Brother Hua came out of the shop with a kitchen knife.

He was serious at first, and the scar on his face was even more vicious at this time, so he bluffed the two people at the door for a while, Mei Jing took the opportunity to bite the man, and "sneaked" into the back of Brother Hua Go take a breather.

"What's the matter?" Brother Hua asked expressionlessly.

Halfway through the conversation, the door of the snack bar was opened, and Sister Hua came out in disheveled clothes. He had a displeasure written all over his face and shouted at the top of his voice: "Hey, is this abduction and trafficking in broad daylight? When the police station here is dead ah!"

He is no better than Mei Jing, with such a shout, even Huang Mao from the video store next door poked his head out to watch the fun.

Brother Hua frowned, and said to Sister Hua, "Go in!"

Sister Hua pouted: "I won't go!"

"you……"

When the man saw this posture, he didn't dare to move again, he just sneered and said, "Okay, okay, you have the ability! You tell Liang Chen that he can escape today but not tomorrow! I will have to recover this debt for my brother sooner or later." Come on! The police can't stop him, so I'll use something else!"

Mei Jing desperately controlled her trembling: "How dare you? You're going to jail!"

The man laughed loudly and said, "Am I afraid of going to jail? In our family, one has run away, one has gone crazy and one has died. I'm the only one alive. Do you think I matter?"

There was complete madness and boundless hatred on his face.Even though Brother Hua blocked Mei Jing from behind, he was still trembling with fear.

After the man left, Sister Hua pulled Mei Jing into the store, locked the door, and poured him another glass of water.

Mei Jing keenly noticed that there was a strange smell in the store, which was different from the familiar food aroma before, and there were a few balls of used paper towels scattered on the floor.Sister Hua blushed a little and asked Brother Hua to pack up.

"Aren't you stupid? When you encounter this kind of thing, you can fool it first. What's the benefit of fighting with this kind of person? If their brains have a twitch, you really can't bear to walk around."

Mei Jing was still a little scared, but he didn't believe the man said about Liang Chen's murder, so he stubbornly argued: "Liang Chen won't! He must be talking nonsense!"

"Knowing people, knowing the face, but not knowing the heart, couples who have slept in the same bed every day for decades are separated by belly. What do you know?"

Mei Jing gritted her teeth: "I just know!"

Sister Hua glanced at him: "What does this Liang Chen have to do with you?"

One sentence fixed Mei Jing in the same place, he held up the cup to drink or let it go, his face turned pale inch by inch.

Sister Hua sighed: "I didn't mean to inquire. If you don't want to talk about it, don't talk about it. I just want to remind you that many things are hidden from you. You should also be careful. Don't be fooled and sold for money. "

The words were reasonable, but to Mei Jing's ears, it was extremely uncomfortable.

He thought, why does the whole world think that Liang Chen is not a good person?

"Liang Chen is a good person." He insisted on repeating.

The next day Liang Chen finished Yuan Xiaodong's work and came to find Mei Jing as usual.When the two were driving back, it suddenly rained. They had no choice but to find a shop to hide from the rain and park the car against the wall.

As soon as she calmed down, Mei Jing thought of what Sister Hua said yesterday, and he said, "Liang Chen."

"Ok?"

"What kind of relationship are we...?"

Thinking about it now, the relationship between the two has gone from ignorance to success, as if no one has said anything publicly, and they are together in such a muddle. Although Mei Jing is not a girl, there is no need to ask Liang Chen for a promise , but he was not at ease in his heart, and he couldn't step on the ground, so he had to ask to understand today.

When Mei Jing asked, Liang Chen realized that he was not in the mood at all today.

He stretched out his hand and smacked Mei Jing's head: "What's wrong?"

"you answer me first."

Liang Chen put his arms around his shoulders: "I said it last time, you are my date, do you have to explain it clearly?"

Mei Jing had a sore nose: "Then why didn't you tell me anything?"

I didn't tell him when I moved to another school, I didn't tell him why I moved, and I didn't even mention a word about what to do in the future.

Liang Chen turned him over to face himself: "What's the matter?"

Now Mei Jing finally couldn't hold back, and babbled about what happened yesterday.

The more Liang Chen heard it, the worse his complexion became: "Why didn't you say it yesterday?"

Mei Jing felt a little wronged: "I don't have your phone number, where can I find you?"

That's right, since they met each other, they have almost always met directly. In the past, it was Mei Jing who went to Liang Chen's house, and now Liang Chen went to his school. It happened that they could always be found every time, as if the other party would always be waiting like this Like yourself.

Liang Chen took out a cigarette from his pocket, didn't light it, and rubbed it between his fingers for a long time. He said, "When I was in the first year of junior high school, I accidentally killed someone in another school."

As soon as the words fell, Mei Jing shivered.

"Originally, I was going to the junior education school. My mother found someone to make connections and then transferred to another school." Liang Chen's eyes were dark and uncertain. This was the first time he talked about his family and his mother so seriously. , "But his family didn't let me go. They went wherever I went in the past few years. I didn't want to conflict with them, so I kept moving."

Mei Jing held him back anxiously: "Then call the police."

Liang Chen smiled: "What's the use of calling the police? He didn't do anything to make you feel better. It's impossible for the police to send someone to follow you every day for such a trivial matter."

Mei Jing was silent. He found that what he had learned in school at this time was completely useless: "Then if you go around like this, what will you do in the senior high school entrance exam? Can you do well in the exam?"

Liang Chen said: "Let's take one step at a time, I don't plan to go to high school anymore."

Mei Jing was startled: "What did you say?"

Liang Chen cast his eyes into the distance: "I thought reading was boring. I'm not like you. I'm this material, so I followed Yuan Xiaodong to learn how to repair cars."

"But...but you can learn it well. You see, I taught you so much before..." Mei Jing became anxious, tears welling in her eyes, "Also, we...you..."

He was afraid, he felt that Yuan Xiaodong's group of people was not in the same world as him, and now that group of people was dragging Liang Chen further and further away from him.

"Mei'er, reading is really not suitable for me." Liang Chen sighed, "I don't want to."

"I've already thought about it. I learned the craft with Yuan Xiaodong for a few years. If the situation is good, I can go out and work alone in the future. I heard that the club has opened well in the past few years. If the situation is good, I can even set up a chain across the country."

The light rain kept pattering non-stop, like a layer of water curtain blinding people's eyes, and the two stood under the eaves like this for a long time without saying a word.

At this point, Mei Jing realized that Liang Chen was not like him, and he still didn't know why he was studying. Liang Chen had already thought clearly about his future, and there was no self in his future.

It was as if they were standing back to back at a crossroads, but not facing the same direction.
