The Cultivation of Rebirth

In school, Li Rui was doing homework with Peng Zhen and Lin Xin.

Suddenly Peng Zhen's cell phone rang.

Peng Zhen picked up the phone carelessly: "Hello, who is it?"

After a few seconds, Peng Zhen stood up suddenly, and said to the phone, "Wait a minute, I'll tell you slowly." Then he said to Lin Xin and Li Rui, "I'll make a call first." Pick up the phone The mobile phone came out of the bedroom.

Li Rui thought that Peng Zhen was worried that his phone would affect their studies, so he nodded and said nothing.

Lin Xin was a little surprised when he saw that the direction Peng Zhen was walking was not the balcony, but the door of the dormitory.

What is the need to avoid them like this.

Lin Xin was curious.

Not long after, Peng Zhen, who had gone out to make a phone call, came back.

The first thing Peng Zhen said after returning was to Li Rui and Lin Xin: "I have something urgent to go out."

Peng Zhen's complexion was not very good, and he was still anxious. Lin Xin and Li Rui didn't ask him what happened.

Peng Zhen also looked like she had no time to explain to them, and immediately left in a hurry.

Lin Xin and Li Rui looked at each other silently for a while.

Li Rui felt uneasy for some reason.

In order to suppress this inexplicable uneasiness, he had no choice but to bury his head and continue to work hard on his homework.

Lin Xin saw Li Rui starting to do his homework, so he followed suit.

It's just that the two who did their homework next were a little absent-minded.

After Peng Zhen left, at night, no one came back, and no news came.

Li Rui frowned when he thought of Gu Huaidong saying the night before that he would not be able to contact him for two days.

He intuited that Peng Zhen's departure had something to do with Gu Huaidong.

Originally, Gu Huaidong had told him before that his business with Peng Zhen was fine, but this time he said something happened again, and Li Rui was more worried.

In the afternoon, Peng Zhen's strangeness and not coming back made Li Rui feel a little bit more worried.

Before going to bed, Li Rui rarely took the initiative to call Gu Huaidong.

Since Gu Huaidong gave him his mobile phone, the number of times Li Rui took the initiative to call Gu Huaidong is very few.

Because the two of them were together most of the time, even if they were not together, Gu Huaidong's phone calls were followed closely, and it was never Li Rui's turn to call.

But Li Rui didn't get through the phone.

Gu Huaidong turned off the phone.

Could it be that Gu Huaidong's phone is dead?

After a while, Li Rui tried to make another call.

Still shutting down.

Li Rui frowned and sent Gu Huaidong a text message before falling asleep clutching his phone.

Li Rui didn't sleep well that night.

Li Rui's first reaction after waking up the next morning was to turn on his phone and watch.

But Gu Huaidong did not reply to Li Rui's text message.

This situation will only make Li Rui more worried.

Peng Zhen didn't come back until the next afternoon.

Li Rui carefully found that Peng Zhen was still wearing the clothes he wore the day before.

Li Rui looked at Peng Zhen who seemed a little upset, and asked him, "Have you solved your problem?"

"It's solved, it's solved." Peng Zhen smiled at Li Rui with the corners of his mouth pulled.

Li Rui saw the stiffness in Peng Zhen's smile, was silent for a while, and asked, "Really?"

Li Rui never liked to keep asking when others were unwilling to reveal something. When Peng Zhen heard Li Rui's words, he continued to laugh and replied: "Really."

Li Rui stopped talking and stared straight at Peng Zhen.

Seen by his dark eyes, Peng Zhen felt uncomfortable, took a sip of water from his water glass on Lin Xin's table, and asked, "Where's Lin Xin?"

Li Rui looked away.

The water in that glass is from yesterday.

Peng Zhen was nervous.

While thinking about it, Li Rui answered casually, "Lin Xin is going to play."

"This Lin Xin, it's the countdown to the college entrance examination, why are you still playing?" Peng Zhen said with a straight face.

Li Rui smiled and replied: "Peng Zhen, you are also counting down the college entrance examination. You played with Lin Xin last time. I remember you proposed it on your own initiative. By the way, how is Gu Huaidong?"

Li Rui's goal was the last sentence.

Peng Zhen, who was always vigilant, was not fooled.

He glanced at Li Rui: "What's wrong with Mr. Gu?"

At this moment, the door of Li Rui's bedroom was pushed open with a "bang".

"Peng Zhen, you're back." Lin Xin greeted Peng Zhen holding a basketball.

Peng Zhen immediately leaned over to talk to Lin Xin.He really didn't want to face Li Rui right now.

This evening, Li Rui called and texted Gu Huaidong again.He even plucked up his courage and made a phone call to the apartment where Gu Huaidong and Gu's father and mother lived.

Gu Huaidong's phone was still off, but the landline in the apartment got through, but no one answered it.

On the third night, Li Rui finally couldn't help but wanted to ask Peng Zhen clearly, when Gu Huaidong called.

Gu Huaidong's voice was lower than usual.

Li Rui picked up the phone and asked Gu Huaidong why he couldn't get in touch for the first two days.

Gu Huaidong heard the grievance and worry in Li Rui's words, and smiled: "Ruirui, didn't I tell you in advance that I would accompany investors to the mountains, the signal over there is not good..."

Li Rui was silent for a while, and tentatively said, "But that's not what Peng Zhen said..."

Before Li Rui finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Huaidong: "Peng Zhen? Is that kid slandering me behind my back again? You tell him, and I will teach him a lesson when I go back."

Gu Huaidong chatted and laughed with Li Rui in a low voice, before casually mentioning: "Ruirui, I probably won't be able to go back until a few days later. There are still some things that haven't been dealt with here. Ruirui, I'm sorry."

Li Rui shook his head considerately: "It's okay."

Gu Huaidong promised Li Rui that he would come back soon.

Li Rui smiled and agreed.

Just when he was about to talk to Gu Huaidong, Gu Huaidong suddenly told Li Rui: "Ruirui, I have a meeting to hold later, I will call you tomorrow."

Li Rui responded: "Okay." The beeping sound of Gu Huaidong hanging up the phone could already be heard in his ear.

Li Ruigang was relieved because of Gu Huaidong's phone call, but he was lifted again.

However, the next night, Gu Huaidong called early.

There was nothing abnormal in Gu Huaidong's voice.

Thinking that Peng Zhen had returned to normal in the past two days.

Li Rui couldn't help thinking, could it be that he was overthinking?

This situation lasted for another two days, and Li Rui was sure that he was really careless.

In the evening of the next day, when Peng Zhen was studying seriously with Li Rui, the door of the dormitory was knocked open again with a "bang".

This time the movement was quite loud.

Both Li Rui and Peng Zhen looked over subconsciously.

Lin Xin stood at the door of the bedroom.

Lin Xin's forehead was covered with sweat, and the white vest on his body was also half wet.

This look is so familiar to Li Rui. If you add a basketball in your hand, it will be the most common look for Lin Xin after returning from playing.

Where is Lin Xin's basketball?

Li Rui remembered that Lin Xin went out with a basketball in his arms.

And why is Lin Xin's face now so similar to Peng Zhen's face when he came back from the phone call a few days ago.

Lin Xin met Li Rui's eyes, swallowed the words he wanted to ask Peng Zhen, and said to Li Rui with a smothered face, "I'm sorry, I didn't control my hand strength well today, didn't I scare you?"

Li Rui shook his head: "No."

But Peng Zhen met Lin Xin's gaze and said, "Lin Xin, what do you look like."

Lin Xin glared at Peng Zhen, thinking of the news he had just learned from his parents, he felt very depressed.

Seeing that Lin Xin was still standing still, Li Rui was very strange: "Lin Xin, why don't you come in?"

Lin Xin smiled dryly at Li Rui, and then said, "Peng Zhen, someone is looking for you downstairs. I'll take you down to have a look."

Peng Zhen's mouth twitched after hearing Lin Xin's words.

He guessed that Lin Xin probably knew that something happened to Gu Huaidong, but he didn't expect Lin Xin to find such a lame excuse.

Out of the corner of Gu Huaidong's eye, he glanced at Li Rui.

He noticed that Li Rui was frowning, he seemed to be reading seriously, but he was actually observing the two of them.

"Okay." Peng Zhen stood up while speaking.

Gu Huaidong asked himself to keep it a secret from Li Rui, but if Li Rui heard it unexpectedly, he would not be considered a breach of contract.

Peng Zhen said to Li Rui: "I'll go with Lin Xin, and I'll be back later." Then he left with Lin Xin.

Holding the pen, Li Rui struggled for a while, and finally couldn't help but walked to the door, poked his head out to see where Peng Zhen and Lin Xin had gone.

Peng Zhen and Lin Xin had already reached the stairs, and Li Rui hurriedly followed without closing the door in time.

When he reached the stairs, Li Rui looked down, but he didn't see Peng Zhen and Lin Xin.

But Lin Xin's voice came faintly from upstairs.

Seeing that the two people went upstairs instead of going downstairs, Li Rui's expression became slightly subtle for a moment.

Li Rui doesn't mind if Peng Zhen and Lin Xin keep things from him, but if the things they keep from him are related to Gu Huaidong...

Li Rui gritted his teeth and stepped up the ladder against the wall.

He followed Peng Zhen and Lin Xin secretly to the top of the rooftop.

After reaching the top floor, they were afraid that Peng Zhen and Lin Xin would find out, so they dared not walk out of the door leading to the rooftop.

Because there is no shelter on the outside roof.

Li Rui tried his best to listen, but couldn't hear what Lin Xin and Peng Zhen were talking about.

He took the risk and moved a little closer to the door.

"...Did you already know about Brother Dong's admission to the hospital?" On the rooftop, Lin Xin was scolding Peng Zhen.

Lin Xin was very angry.

Brother Dong has been in the hospital for several days. If his parents hadn't called to ask him if he had visited him, Lin Xin wouldn't have known about it.

Peng Zhen nodded, and said helplessly, "Dongzi didn't let me tell you, it's none of my business."

"Brother Dong didn't let me know about such a big deal!" Lin Xin raised his voice.

Peng Zhen's eyes swept across the door behind Lin Xin intentionally or unintentionally: "Xin Zi, actually Dong Zi didn't want you to know, he didn't want Li Rui to know that he was hospitalized... You can't hide it If you know about it, how can Li Rui not know about it?"

"..." Lin Xin choked.After thinking about it, he felt that if he knew, he would definitely not be able to resist telling Li Rui.

"Why doesn't Brother Dong want Li Rui to know?" Lin Xin's focus shifted to another matter.

Peng Zhen looked at the stupid big man in front of him, and felt the urge to vomit blood.

Gu Huaidong and Li Rui have been open in front of them this semester, but Lin Xin hasn't noticed yet.

"... Dongzi doesn't want Li Rui to worry." Peng Zhen replied to Lin Xin.

Before Lin Xin could continue to ask his own question, Peng Zhen continued to ask, "Did your mother tell you why Dongzi was hospitalized?"

"My mother said it was beaten by Uncle Gu." Lin Xin said with a green face.

He wondered what the hell Gu Huaidong had committed, that Uncle Gu would hit him so hard.

Lin Xin asked what was in his heart.

Peng Zhen said: "I only know that Dongzi contradicted his father because of some things, but I don't know what it is..."

Li Rui was worried that he couldn't hear the conversation between Lin Xin and Peng Zhen outside, but the next second, Peng Zhen and Lin Xin's voices became louder.Li Rui could barely hear clearly.

Li Rui, who had just heard what they were talking about, couldn't realize what they said all at once.

After reacting, I found that my hands and feet were stiff and I couldn't stand up for a long time.

Peng Zhen's words kept echoing in Li Rui's mind, and he subconsciously tried to regain control of his body, and finally stood up uncontrollably and rushed out of the roof door, rushing in front of Peng Zhen.

It wasn't until the end of the sentence that Peng Zhen saw Li Rui come out.

Peng Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried that Li Rui would not come out.

As soon as Li Rui came to Peng Zhen, he grabbed Peng Zhen and hurriedly said, "What happened to Gu Huaidong? Peng Zhen, tell me! Tell me quickly! Where is Gu Huaidong now?"

Lin Xin was taken aback by Li Rui's sudden appearance.

Brother Dong didn't want Li Rui to know that he was hospitalized, but Li Rui heard from them now, what should he do.

Then Lin Xin was dumbfounded.

Lin Xin guessed that Li Rui would be angry because Gu Huaidong hid things from him, but he didn't expect Li Rui to cry directly.

This... Li Rui didn't seem to be crying from anger.Why is Li Rui crying?

Lin Xin looked at Peng Zhen for help.

Peng Zhen was held tightly by Li Rui, and the clipped nails on Li Rui's fingers were almost embedded in his flesh.

However, he kept a calm face and turned his head to let Lin Xin go back to the dormitory first.

The second monk Lin Xinzhang couldn't figure it out.

Peng Zhen really didn't want Lin Xin to make trouble.

Under Peng Zhen's persistent gaze, Lin Xin scratched his head and went downstairs first.

Only then did Peng Zhen look at Li Rui: "Li Rui, calm down first. I'll tell you what Dongzi did."
