deep trap

The next day, Lu Can was woken up by the sun.

He flipped from side A to side B, and from side B to side A. Unfortunately, Mu Ze, who didn't escape the sun on either side, had to stretch his eyelids open in the end.

Looking at the clock, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon!

After taking a walk last night, Ji Mingze sent him home before returning to his own home.He originally thought that he would suffer from insomnia when he saw Duan Yuyang, but he didn't expect to sleep quite well, and he had no dreams until dawn.

It seems that the bottle of water is amazing.

Thinking of Ji Ming, Lu Can turned on his phone.

Huo Huo: [Are you awake? 】

Huo Huan: [Thank you again for coming to help me, and also helping me buy water [hold fists]]

J: [You're welcome]

Huo Huan: [Didn't you eat at noon?I haven't eaten yet]

After 5 minutes, nothing happened, and this chat message went nowhere, without any response.

Look, that's how God talks to death. The chat records of the two of them should be regarded as a model of singleness based on ability.Lu Can snorted, threw the phone aside to charge, out of sight and out of mind.

After washing up, he took out milk and poured it into his stomach. Lu Can suddenly remembered that he promised Duan Yuyang to send something, so he asked the errand brother to buy some large storage boxes.

While waiting for the delivery, he pushed open the study door which he hadn't touched for a long time, feeling a little dazed for a while.

The desk is almost full of Duan Yuyang's things, including scrapped business plans, coffee cups with abstract patterns, used folders, and unbreakable iron ashtrays...

Only the few comic books lying on the tatami next to him belonged to him.

Four years after graduation, everyone is working hard to move forward.And he is still standing still, making no progress.

No wonder I was rejected by my ex-boyfriend.

Lu Can took a deep breath and walked in.

Packing took almost three hours.

Throwing an item into the storage box, especially an item with a shared memory, is like digging out the carrion in the body with a sharp knife.Medically, it is said that removing rot is good for health, but the pain is really painful.

Seeing the moment when the moving company took away the full storage boxes, and the moment when he saw the half-empty home suddenly, Lu Can finally felt for real - he and Duan Yuyang broke up.

Lu Can couldn't tell what was going on in his heart, so he pulled his slippers and threw himself on the sofa.I buried my face in the pillow, trying to catch up on sleep, but by coincidence, my phone vibrated.

After an afternoon of silence, Mr. J finally heard back: [Did not eat]

Lu Can poked his phone out of boredom: [Why didn't you eat, have a class? 】

J: [Yes]

Huo Huan: [No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat, your boss is so inhuman [contempt] [contempt], do you need help? 】

This sentence was purely flirtatious. Lu Can knew that with Ji Ming's serious personality, it was impossible to ask him for help. It would be great to be able to reply to his message "in his busy schedule".

It didn't take long, Ji Mingze replied two words [Need] first, and then sent a location message, [[Location] bring some snacks and fruits, the money will be transferred to you later]

Just as Lu Can didn't want to stay in this room for too long, a carp jumped up, tousled a few hairs and went out to buy.

There is a small supermarket not far from the community, which also sells fresh fruits. He guessed that Ji Ming wanted to treat his colleagues to afternoon tea, so he was not stingy, and picked a lot of imported snacks, and all the fruits were beautiful.

With too many things in his hands, he was too lazy to go back to pick up the car, so he reached out and called a taxi.The driver drove forward according to the location he gave. The further he drove, the sparser the surrounding buildings and the fewer people there were.Lu Can had some doubts that Ji Mingze was engaged in some kind of illegal business, and he might even be tricked into a pyramid scheme.

Until the taxi stops in the suburbs.

The navigation shows that the destination is here, Lu Can pays to get off the car, and calls Ji Mingze: "Mr. Ji, I'm near the location you sent me."

Ji Mingze asked, "Where are you?"

"I'm here..." Lu Can looked around, "I'm at the door of Sister Hong's pedicure room. On the left is a bathing center called Qingshuichi, and on the right is a business KTV. There are lights in front of these stores." The little pink lamp... hiss——Ji Ming, are you...?"

Is it a fucking duck to work in the red light district? !

Lu Can was in doubt, and when he thought about Ji Mingze's figure and appearance, and his slightly lonely shoe cabinet, his heart sank directly to the bottom of the valley.

"What am I?" Ji Mingze said, "Look across the road to see if you see a big yard surrounded by a black fence."

"I saw it."

"Go to the yard, I'll pick you up at the door, be careful when crossing the road."

"......Oh."

Lu Can hung up the phone and walked across the road as promised.To be honest, he has a good impression of Ji Ming after Duan Yuyang cheated on him.Who would have thought that under this man's honest skin, there is a duck's heart hidden!

Maybe the yard that Ji Ming asked him to come to was a prostitution den, Lu Can was carrying two big bags of snacks, and his footsteps were as heavy as lead.

Then, after seeing the "Bincheng No. [-] Children's Welfare Institute" plaque hanging on the left side of the iron gate, the paint had almost peeled off, and the whole person was stunned.

Ji Mingze just arrived at the door, informed the guard, and took the bag, "It's easy to find here."

"Ah..." Lu Can hadn't recovered from his "guessing", and stammered, "Okay, it's easy to find, and the navigation is very accurate."

"you are sick?"

Ji Mingze looked down at Lu Can, and gently pressed his forehead with the back of his hand, "The temperature is not high...why is your face so red?"

Lu Can blushed even more when the back of his hand was touched, "It's nothing, it's probably because I was exposed to the sun just now."

"That's it." Ji Mingze raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, and led Lu Can inside.

Connecting the iron gate is a section of stone road, the road surface is winding with dense cracks.The trees on both sides are uneven, and the weeds are yellow and crazily growing. It can be seen that it has been a few years.

At the end of the stone road stands a small three-story building with outdoor stairs—this kind of building is rarely seen in the north now.Outdoor stairs are not conducive to heating, it will be very cold in winter, and it is not safe enough.

In the distance, on the big playground circled by white paint in front of the building, several boys about five or six years old were playing football.The girls sat on the stands next to the playground, some holding books, and some playing with dolls in a pile.

Lu Can remembered the house number: "This is really a children's welfare home."

Ji Mingze said "Yes", "It is also the orphanage with the largest number of orphans in Bincheng. So far, more than 60 children have not been adopted."

"Then you are here..."

"Volunteer," Ji Mingze said, "my mentor retired and served as the dean of the Third Hospital. I occasionally come to visit her and play with the children by the way."

As soon as the words fell, seeing Ji Mingze, the group of little boys and girls threw down their footballs and rushed over, "Uncle Ji, you are here! Hey, who is he, is he your friend?"

With a friendly tone, it can be seen that he likes Ji Mingze very much.But for some reason, the children automatically stopped half a meter away from them, as if they didn't dare to approach them.

Ji Mingze introduced: "This is Uncle Lu Canlu, he brought you snacks."

"Hello, Uncle Lu!" Countless eyes turned to Lu Can.

Ji Mingze added: "Uncle Lu can play football and many games, you can play with him."

"Really?" The children blinked their big eyes, curiously filled with anticipation, like a group of cute kittens, "Uncle Lu, can you play with us?"

Being stared at by such eyes, no one could say "no", Lu Can immediately gave up exploring the reasons why the children dared not approach Ji Mingze, and responded repeatedly: "Yes, of course, what should I play first?"

"Let's play football!"

Before he had time to explain to Ji Mingze, Lu Can was pushed to the middle of the football field by several boys.He took off his coat and spent 2 minutes warming up. When he looked back, there was no one standing there.

At the same time, in the office area on the third floor of the orphanage.

This is the eighth year of Professor Chen's retirement. The nearly 60-year-old woman does not look old, but becomes more elegant and intellectual.

She stood by the window, looking in the direction of the playground.If Lu Can looked up at this moment, he would definitely find her familiar, "Mingze, winter is coming soon, isn't your injury uncomfortable again?"

"I have been insisting on exercising the strength of my back muscles. Except for the itchy and tingling feeling in autumn and winter and rainy days, I am fine at other times. Don't worry about me." Ji Mingze paused, "How is your body recently?"

"I'm fine, I'm so happy to be with the kids every day."

Professor Chen seemed to have seen enough, took off his glasses and sat down at his desk, and couldn't help recalling, "But what I miss the most is the years when I was in the third year of high school. I feel that my life is not in vain. Especially in your class, each one is better than the other. You are the pride of the teacher. You can get the first prize under such difficult conditions... ...By the way, Mingze, isn't your mother's death day approaching?"

"Soon, early next month."

"Hey, in fact, you can have a better choice, if not..."

Having said that, Professor Chen looked at the playground again.Then she found that Ji Mingze's expression was normal, but his lips were tightly pressed, showing an almost indifferent attitude.

After Mingze's mother died of illness in the first season of high school, in order not to delay her studies and prevent the child from going astray, she paid more attention to him than her own son, and she knew it was a sign of unwillingness to continue listening.

So Professor Chen retracted what he was about to say, and heaved a long sigh.

The lingering sound dissipated in the cold and solemn sky in late autumn, and was carried away by the migratory birds who missed the time and could not fly south.
