Window 2, Seventh Canteen

Holidays always fly by.

As the back-to-school day approached, Jiang Weiyi became more and more excited every day, but Zhao Siyuan became more and more worried every day, even to the point that Jiang's father could see it.

Yes, Zhao Siyuan stayed at Jiang Wei's house for the whole winter vacation. Jiang Wei was very speechless about this, but Jiang's father was very welcoming. Jiang's mother passed away early, and he was most afraid of Jiang Wei's loneliness. Now seeing him getting along with friends, he is naturally happy.

He loves his house and loves his son, so he should naturally care more about his son's friends.

Zhao Siyuan was asked several times, and each time he said that he was upset that school was about to start. Of course, this was just an excuse, and he knew why he was upset.

After returning to Beijing, Jiang Wei was going to meet the cook. Although according to his understanding, Jiang Wei would not suddenly become gay like this, but he was afraid of anything.

If this point scratches Zhao Siyuan's heart all the time, the feeling of worry is really uncomfortable, and even extends some disgraceful emotions.

There were a few times when Father Jiang asked about it, he wondered whether he should tell the truth.

No one who is a parent does not shy away from this. If Dad Jiang knew that his son was being hooked up by a homosexual, he would definitely find a way to stop it, so that the possibility of that "just in case" would be even smaller.

But Zhao Siyuan just thought about it all the time, he couldn't do such a thing of betraying his buddies behind his back, even if it was for his own benefit.

In this way, on the day of their departure, the two had their own concerns, Jiang's father cooked a sumptuous lunch for them in person, Jiang Wei ate blushingly, but Zhao Siyuan was full of melancholy.

Jiang's father teased Jiang Wei, "People are not happy when they say they are going back to school, but you are so happy every day. What good things do you think about in school?"

Jiang Wei smiled a little embarrassedly, Jiang's father went to see Zhao Siyuan again, and saw that his expression was even more embarrassed. With his many years of social experience, he knew at a glance that the two children had something to hide from him, but if the child didn't tell him, he would It's not easy to ask too much, after all, when you grow up, you always have your own space, especially boys, they need to be independent.

But thinking that his son has a secret to him, it is still unavoidable to be sad.

"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables." Jiang's father finished clipping Jiang Wei and clipping for Zhao Siyuan, looking at the two children lovingly and worriedly.

Suddenly said: "It would be great if you two were really brothers. Now I regret that I didn't have another one back then, so that Jiang Wei would have a companion."

Zhao Siyuan immediately climbed along the pole, "Although we are not brothers, we are closer than brothers. Don't worry, uncle, I am the only one who will take care of you. He will never suffer."

Father Jiang thought for a while, "Why don't you make Siyuan my godson?"

"Okay!"

"no!"

Jiang Wei and Zhao Siyuan blurted out at the same time, Jiang Wei rolled his eyes at Zhao Siyuan, "What are you making fun of?" Then he looked at his father, "It's so strange that you still accept your son as a slave in what age, you two, don't engage in such nonsense .”

Jiang's father brought food to Zhao Siyuan, "Anyway, uncle treats you like a son, and I will rely on you to take care of my stupid son in the future."

Jiang Wei was not happy, "Dad, am I better than him? Why don't you let me take care of him?"

"Siyuan is more down-to-earth than you."

"He was being steady in front of you." As soon as Jiang Wei said this, Zhao Siyuan stepped on him under the table.

Jiang Wei: "Why step on me? Why don't you let me tell the truth?"

Father Jiang, "Jiang Wei is too straightforward, Siyuan, take care of him at school, and call uncle if you need something."

Zhao Siyuan agreed with all his mouth, but Jiang Wei buried his head in his meal in disgust, and didn't want to pay attention to these two people.

After dinner, Father Jiang drove the two of them to the station. After saying goodbye, they got into the car.

When I arrived in Beijing at four o'clock in the afternoon, I took a taxi to go back to school. The road was blocked, and I didn't enter the dormitory until six o'clock.

In Jiang Wei's house, he was the second to come back. The nerd on the opposite bed glanced at him and said slowly, "I'm back."

Zhao Siyuan was right behind Jiang Wei, poking his head out, "Yo, the nerd is here too, you are a nerd when you come back so early." After teasing, he patted Jiang Wei on the shoulder, "I'll go back and pack my things first, you Don't run around, I'll have dinner with you later."

Jiang Wei instantly understood the hidden meaning in Zhao Siyuan's words, "Okay, okay, I can't go to him as soon as I come back, I have to prepare it, don't worry about it."

Zhao Siyuan left resentfully.

Qi Jingyu sat up suddenly from the bed, stared at the door of the dormitory for a long time before recovering.

"Jiang Wei, let me ask you."

"what?"

"Did you two meet by chance?"

"No, we came back together." Jiang Wei opened the box to pack up, and answered casually.

Qi Jingyu climbed out of bed, squatted beside him, with messy hair, wearing a pair of rainbow long johns, just staring at him.

Jiang Wei: "Why, pretending to be a ghost to scare people?"

"You ~why~ come back with him?"

"Yuanzi was playing at my house during the winter vacation, and then we came back together." Jiang Wei took out his clothes and put them on a hanger. Seeing that Qi Jingyu didn't reply, he turned to look at him. Who knew that guy had already returned to the bed and lay on his stomach went.

Jiang Wei continued to tidy up.

About 10 minutes later, Zhao Siyuan came over.

Jiang Wei: "You collect so fast?"

Zhao Siyuan responded, sat on Qi Jingyu's stool and watched Jiang Wei tidy up.

In fact, it was quite boring to watch other people tidy up. Zhao Siyuan didn't watch it for a few minutes, then he started to look around.

"What are you doing, bookworm!" He pointed at Qi Jingyu.

Qi Jingyu was lying on the bed, sticking out half of his chicken coop head, just looking straight at Zhao Siyuan, and when he glanced over, it was really a bit scary.

"No~what~what~" Qi Jingyu shrank back like a loach.

Zhao Siyuan was bored on the one hand, and on the other hand, he got to know Qi Jingyu better when he was playing in Hainan, and now he stepped on the ladder to see him.

"Hey, nerd, tell me, it's sooner or later, what magical skills are you practicing in bed?"

Qi Jingyu glanced at Zhao Siyuan, shrank his body, covered his head, and did not move.

Zhao Siyuan was a little impulsive and climbed up to grab the loach, but at this moment Jiang Wei patted the bed board, "Don't you want to eat? Let's go."

Zhao Siyuan: "Have you finished packing?"

"No, let's eat first, so you don't have to wait here."

Zhao Siyuan looked at Jiang Wei carefully, "Where are you going to eat? Seven canteens?"

Jiang Wei had already guessed that there would be such a question, "Let's eat peaches and plums, don't you all say that Malatang is delicious there?"

Zhao Siyuan squinted at Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei pretended not to see, and the two went to eat.

After dinner, they went back to each room. Jiang Wei took the phone and looked at it again and again, tangled and tangled, but still cruel, he clicked on Han Zilu's name and sent a text message.

【Registration at school tomorrow, are you all going to work?I went to find you to eat noodles, I haven’t eaten for a long time and I’m so hungry~(﹃)】

When the words "sent" appeared, he felt his heart beat a few beats faster.

Then there was a long wait, from 08:30 to [-] o'clock, the phone was silent, Jiang Wei was debating whether to send another one, but in the end he didn't.

Maybe Han Zilu was busy, maybe he was already asleep, let him see for himself.

At 11:30, after he washed up and was about to go to bed, his phone suddenly vibrated.

Jiang Wei immediately grabbed the phone and turned it on, and Qi Jingyu said leisurely beside him, "Really, if you want to talk, just go there and send a text message."

Jiang Wei opened the door full of anticipation, and felt a chill in his heart.

[Brat, how about reporting safety? 】

It was from his father.

Jiang Wei hurriedly called his father back, and then fell asleep.

The next day he woke up very early and went straight to the Seventh Canteen.

It was only six o'clock, the cafeteria windows hadn't been open for long, and there weren't many students in the hall.

Jiang Wei trotted over and looked into the window.

A young cook frowned at him, "Who are you looking for?"

Jiang Wei had a little impression of this man, and knew that he was asking questions knowingly.

"Han Zilu, isn't he going to work today?"

"Han Zilu." The young cook took off his mask and smiled.

"Yeah, is he resting?"

"Yes, rest."

"Then when will he come to work? Excuse me." Jiang Wei could feel the unfriendliness of the other party, so he tried his best to be polite.

"Going to work? I don't know, he is a great chef, who knows him, maybe he will come back someday."

Jiang Wei: "???"

At this time, Cook Wang also came over, and when he saw Jiang Wei, he smiled, "Oh, little classmate, it's you, come again?"

"Master Wang," Jiang Wei recognized him, "Where's Han Zilu? Is he on vacation?"

"Oh, are you looking for Xiao Han?" Master Wang said, "Oh yes, you were all on vacation at that time, so it's normal if you don't know."

"Huh?" Jiang Wei was anxious.

"Then what, Xiao Han is gone."

Jiang Wei was a little confused, "When will he come back?"

"I'm not coming back, right? I'm not coming back either. There's a better place to go. Who's staying here? Xiao Han resigned."

"When did it happen?"

Cook Wang made some calculations and gave Jiang Wei an approximate date, which just confirmed what Jiang Wei had vaguely guessed.

It was within a few days after the confession that Han Zilu resigned.

Jiang Wei didn't bother to think too much, took out his mobile phone and called Han Zilu.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is an empty number, sorry..."

What do these mean?Empty number?

Resign and change number?What does this mean?Is it because of him?Or because of something else?What happened to Han Zilu?

The mobile phone was still held in his hand, and the sweet female voice repeated over and over again that it was an empty number, it was an empty number...

Jiang Wei walked back to the window and looked at Cook Wang.

Chef Wang was taken aback, "Oh, what's the matter? What happened? Your face is pale."

Only then did Jiang Wei realize that he was overreacting, so he restrained himself and asked, "Master Wang, do you know that Han Zilu changed his phone?"

"Ah? Has he changed? I don't know." He turned and asked the little cook, "Do you know Xiao Han's phone number?"

The little cook snorted, "I don't know."

Knowing that he couldn't ask, Jiang Wei quickly thanked her, turned around and ran out of the cafeteria. When she saw a taxi on the way, she stopped her, and hurried all the way to the community where Han Zilu lived.

He couldn't remember exactly which floor and number Han Zilu lived in, but he knew how to walk that way.

Climbing upstairs in one breath, panting and banging on the door, Jiang Wei shouted: "Han Zilu! Open the door, I, Jiang Wei, open the door!"

There was no response after knocking for five or six minutes, but the person on the door was not happy. An aunt yelled to stop arguing, stop arguing, and opened the door a crack.

Jiang Wei hurriedly turned around and apologized.

Auntie is a creature that has no temper for young boys. When she saw Jiang Wei's student appearance, sunny and handsome, she hurriedly changed her tone, "Are you looking for someone?"

"Well, do you know anyone who lives here?"

"Where do I know each other? They're all tenants, they've been changed over and over again."

"Oh……"

"Are you looking for something to do with this house?" The aunt looked gossip.

"Well, a friend of mine lives here, and his phone number has been changed, so I can't find him." Jiang Weiyi couldn't make up a lie at the time, and told the truth.

The aunt complained: "That friend of yours is really too. Why didn't you notify me when you changed your number? Otherwise, it's useless for you to knock on the door. Why don't you leave a note?"

Jiang Weiyi thought it was indeed an idea, so he borrowed a pen and paper, wrote a note and stuffed it under the door, and then lingered at the door for a long time before going downstairs.

In fact, it's right to think about it, Han Zilu has to work, and he won't stay at home in broad daylight.

But Jiang Wei always felt unwilling to give up, and always wanted to see if he could wait for Han Zilu here, so he just stayed downstairs in the community.

Zhao Siyuan called him, but he didn't answer because he was upset, and soon received a text message saying that he was reporting today and asked someone else.

Jiang Wei went back to school dejectedly.

The report just went through a process, listening to the teacher chanting a few words, Jiang Wei didn't pay attention at all, and Zhao Siyuan caught him and questioned him, and he just passed it off, all his thoughts were on the phone, hoping that Han Zilu would see the note when he turned around, and he could give it to him. He makes a phone call.

Waiting and waiting, the phone rang several times, but Han Zilu never called.

At night, Jiang Wei couldn't sit still anymore, so she put on her coat and planned to go again.

Qi Jingyu spoke clearly, uncharacteristically, and asked, "Why are you going?"

Jiang Wei has already opened the door, "Find someone."

"Who are you looking for?"

"you do not know."

Jiang Wei left after finishing speaking, and I don't know if Qi Jingyu said anything more, this time he didn't get a taxi so quickly, and it took him a long time to get to Han Zilu's house.

Look at the time, it's almost nine o'clock, I wonder if Han Zilu has gone home?

It looks like the cook is going to be working late and probably hasn't returned yet.

That's fine, if you don't come back, wait for him to come back. Anyway, we have to meet up today.

Jiang Wei used his mobile phone to illuminate the stairs, and as soon as he reached the fourth and a half floors, he saw a bright light on it.

He could feel his heart beating faster, and his palms were sweating after climbing half a flight of stairs.

The light really came from Han Zilu's family!

But before Jiang Wei could get excited, he saw that the light did not come from the room, but from a person standing at the door.

The man held a mobile phone in his hand, and what Jiang Wei saw was the light from the screen of the mobile phone.

is it him?

Jiang Wei walked over and illuminated the man with his mobile phone.

Not Han Zilu.

It was a strange man with hair past his ears and a neat suit.

Something glowed red around his neckline.

Before Jiang Wei could speak, the man asked first, "Who are you looking for?"

Jiang Wei: "Looking for someone who lives here, how about you?"

The man replied: "Me too, looking for someone who also lives here."

Jiang Wei was a little surprised, "Are you also looking for Han Zilu?"

The other party's expression changed slightly, "Han Zilu? I don't know him."

Jiang Wei: "..."

Did it go wrong?He turned around and looked at the door at the back. It was indeed the aunt's house, which meant that the opposite was indeed Han Zilu's house.

With a strange expression, Jiang Wei walked over and knocked on the door, "Han Zilu?"

The stranger said: "Stop knocking, will I still stand at the door if someone is there?"

Too……

The man said again: "You may have gone by the wrong way. This is my friend's house. No one's name is Han Zilu."

Jiang Wei was a little confused, "Then what's your friend's name?"

"My friend...is called Ye Wen, do you know him?"

Jiang Wei shook his head, never heard of it.

"Then, your friend, this Ye Wen? When did you start living here?"

"Not long, let me think about it, half a month at most." The stranger showed a clear look, "By the way, the Han you are looking for should be the previous tenant, and he probably moved out without telling you."

Jiang Wei: "..."

Stranger: "I didn't tell you when I moved away, so the relationship is not much better?"

Jiang Wei opened her mouth and didn't know what to say for a moment. After thinking for a long time, she asked, "Then your friend, that Ye Wen, can you contact the former tenant?"

The stranger laughed, "How is it possible, who knows who? Why don't you call your friend and ask him where he moved?"

Jiang Wei hummed, "Let me try." She turned and left.

At the gate of Han Zilu's house, Lu Teng lit a cigarette with squinted eyes, took out his phone, and continued to send text messages to Han Zilu.

He got Han Zilu's phone number a long time ago, so he would send a few texts if he had nothing to do, although he knew he wouldn't reply, but it didn't matter, he didn't expect to reply, the biggest function of text messages was to create a sense of presence.

It made Han Zilu feel that he was always by his side and he was used to his presence.

After sending out, he leaned against the door to smoke.

About half an hour later, familiar footsteps sounded, Lu Teng put away his phone, and stood by the door holding his breath.

Footsteps stopped in front of the fifth floor.

Han Zilu said: "Don't play tricks."

Lu Teng smiled, "How do you know?"

Han Zilu: "The smell of smoke."

Lu Teng: "You really understand me."

Han Zilu ignored him, opened the door and turned on the light.

As soon as the light came on, Lu Teng noticed a note on the ground. With a second thought, he stepped on it, smiled and said to Han Zilu, "Can I borrow a bathroom?" He had already taken off his shoes while speaking.

Han Zilu frowned and pointed in the direction, "Go, hurry up."

After speaking, he stood at the door and didn't enter the house until Lu Teng came back.

Lu Teng knelt down to put on his shoes, and raised his head with a mean smile, "I will wait for you at the door every day from now on. I will be satisfied just to see you."

Han Zilu: "Maybe I should consider moving."

Lu Teng got up and went out, "Don't, please, I promise I won't come into your house next time, I really need to pee today."

Han Zilu directly closed the door.

Lu Teng stood at the door for a few more minutes, then turned around and opened the tangle of papers.

[Call me when you get home, I'm Jiang Wei, I want to have a good talk with you, no matter what, you have to talk to me]

Lu Teng looked at the phone number in the lower right corner and smiled.
