When Shi Zhou came out of the treatment room, he covered the microphone with a guilty conscience: "What's wrong?"

"Are you coming back tonight?"

Lu Youyuan's deep voice rang in his ears, making Shi Zhou inexplicably feel guilty that "I came out to have fun without telling my family."

He was still thinking about whether to wait until he was done, or to go home directly from here.

The other party seemed to be aware of his hesitation, and made a big move: "If you come back early, I will take you to the night market for barbecue."

!!!

Can you miss this?

Shi Zhou cleared his throat: "Come back, right away!"

After hanging up the phone, he turned back to the treatment room and said to Pei Ziyan embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I have something to leave right now, or we can make an appointment next time."

Pei Ziyan frowned: "Is there anything urgent?"

Shi Zhou didn't have the nerve to say that he was in a hurry to go back to eat barbecue, so he found a reason to fool him, and even sneezed several times before leaving.

While rubbing his nose, he thought, there is not even a window in this treatment room, and the air conditioner is fully turned on.

Lu You originally said that he would come to pick him up, but Shi Zhou didn't want the other party to know that he was coming to the research institute, so he lied and asked Shi's driver to take him there.

The other party sent a location, and it was almost midnight driving from the central area of ​​the imperial capital, afraid that Lu Youyuan would see him getting off the taxi, so Shi Zhou didn't dare to let the driver drive directly into the night market.

I could only see small stalls with lights on from a distance and got out of the car.

This kind of dirty stall can only be seen in the old city far away from the urban area. This place is not far from the old house, just behind the demolition site.

The pungent green smoke casually exudes charm on the grill, and the bubbling beer glasses are intertwined to the fullest. Those who come home late and finish the night shift find comfort in these small stalls.

You have to go through two alleys to get inside. Shi Zhou didn't have dinner, and now he smelled the smell and unconsciously quickened his pace.

Just as he sent a message to Lu Youyuan saying that he was about to arrive, he heard a man's drunken voice and a girl's cry for help from the depths of the alley.

Shi Zhou's heart skipped a beat, this place didn't even have a street light, so it was the most suitable place for wsn to commit crimes.

He picked up a tin trash can beside him, and as soon as he rushed over, he saw the girl in the corner take out something from her bag in a panic, and the intense light immediately lit up.

After Shi Zhou realized it, his eyes hurt from the flash of the anti-wolf artifact in the opponent's hand.

He quickly closed his eyes, and when he tried to open them again, he found that what he saw was still white, and the drunk man also covered his eyes and stumbled away.

The more he couldn't see it, the more uncertain he felt, and the more anxious he became, the more he wanted to rub it. Shi Zhou's eyes were a little red, and his fingertips were wet with water.

Before the girl left, she put away the "murder weapon" in her hand and said to Shi Zhou in shock, "Are you alright?"

Shi Zhou wanted to take out his mobile phone to call Lu Youyuan, but now he is completely blind and can't see clearly, so he can only grope for a side wall and barely stand still.

Just when he was about to walk out against the wall, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the entrance of the alley. The person seemed to be getting closer and closer. The girl gave a soft cry and hid behind Shi Zhou.

Shi Zhou couldn't control his physical tears, he raised his head and asked the visitor, "Who are you?"

The other party was silent for a while before saying: "I am a good person."

"Evil people don't call themselves bad people."

Hearing the familiar voice, Shi Zhou's hanging heart finally fell to the ground. He tried hard to open his tear-filled eyes, and stretched out his hand to Lu Youyuan: "I can't see anymore."

Lu Youyuan stood against the light, only then noticed the other party's red eyes and tears on his face.

He helped the person into his arms to check, his eyes were instantly as cold as a blade, and he asked the only person present in a low voice: "What's going on?"

The girl found out that they knew each other and knew that she had accidentally injured a good person, so she told the whole story.

When the other party saw Lu Youyuan, who was under great pressure, he was so frightened that he almost cried, his voice trembling slightly: "This flashlight will blind you for a while, but it should be fine after a while."

Shi Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the drunk just now would come back, he said to the girl, "It's okay, you can go first."

After the people left, Wan Dong who had been waiting at the barbecue booth for a long time also came to look for them, and said to Lu Youyuan impatiently, "Why don't you come over when everyone is here?"

Seeing Shi Zhou who was walking while holding Lu Youyuan with one hand and the other hand against the wall, he felt surprised again: "You two just let the scene reappear?"

Shi Zhou sneezed while crying, how embarrassed he was: "What scene reappeared?"

Wan Dong: "Isn't this where you first met?"

Shi Zhou: "???"

Lu Youyuan ignored the other party, bowed his head to Shi Zhou and said, "Let's go to the hospital."

"It's okay, it's okay after a while." Shi Zhou wanted to eat barbecue, but he was reluctant, "Go and eat something first, and then go if it doesn't feel better after eating."

His expression seemed to be filled with fine tears, his eyelashes were wet, and he looked pitiful: "I'm so hungry."

Wan Dong scratched his head: "Then let's go eat something first, I've already ordered dishes, this time I promise to treat you."

The boss at the barbecue stall was busy grilling skewers, and the proprietress was serving them food. When she saw Shi Zhou, her eyes were still a bit unbelievable. She turned to Lu Youyuan and said, "Hey, isn't this the kid you picked up earlier?"

Although Shi Zhou couldn't see it, he knew that the "child" seemed to be talking about himself: "Are you talking about me?"

The proprietress looked at his out-of-focus pupils and carefully identified them, and then she was pleasantly surprised: "It's really you, it's been a long time since I've been here."

The other party couldn't help saying that he took a few skewers of toasted bread from the stove and handed them directly to him: "This was your favorite before, and these are gifts from auntie!"

Shi Zhou was bewildered.

Wan Dong exchanged a look with Lu Youyuan, why didn't you tell him about the past.

Lu Youyuan took a sip of water, he had nothing to say, just forget about it.

Maybe that experience was not good for Shi Zhou, and he didn't need to remember it, so he forgot it so cleanly.

Wan Dong raised his brows, what do you mean forget it, how would he know if you don't tell him, isn't this a good opportunity to build a good impression?

Seeing Lu Youyuan ignoring his eyes, Wan Dong coughed lightly, and asked Shi Zhou, "I never thought that after a year, the proprietress of this store still remembers you."

Shi Zhou took a bite of the toasted bread, which was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and felt that he couldn't swallow it: "What do you mean? Have I been here before?"

Wan Dong: "Of course! The three of us came here together."

Shi Zhou was not surprised by this.

He only regrets now, regretting that he didn't get the memory from Pei Ziyan and come back.

The eyes that were invisible just now are slowly recovering now, but seeing things are still full of shadows, Lu Youyuan asked him if he was okay, Shi Zhou just said yes.

The incandescent lamp overhead cast the last ray of pale light onto the stainless steel grill pan on the table, which was torn apart by the cool evening wind.

The hair on Shi Zhou's forehead was a little disheveled by the wind, and he felt cold after knowing it.

He doesn't have much appetite, and he doesn't have a good appetite tonight. Even though the temperature is above 20 degrees, he still feels a little shivering.

On the contrary, Wan Dong ate the most.

Lu Youyuan seemed to have something on his mind, after Wan Dong left, the two just walked home like this, Shi Zhou didn't dare to say that he still couldn't see clearly, and walked close to each other with his head down.

After he entered the room and sneezed several times in a row, he whispered: "I seem to have a cold."

Lu Youyuan frowned, and saw the other party's abnormally red face in the dim light of the entrance.

Shi Zhou sniffed, and urged the other party to make way with a strong nasal voice: "It's so cold, I want to go back to sleep."

He didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he just stuffed himself under the quilt.

Only after touching the pillow did I feel my head relax.

Lu Youyuan brought a cup of hot water and fever-reducing medicine: "Take the medicine first, if the fever does not subside, you must go to the hospital."

Shi Zhou took the medicine on the opponent's hand, and felt his head was hot and his whole body was weak. Even so, he resisted going to the hospital.

"I'm strong, and I'll be fine in a while!"

Lu Youyuan sat by the bed, put an ice pack from the refrigerator on the other person's forehead to cool down: "Why are you so shy about diseases at such a young age?"

Shi Zhou replied vaguely: "I've been lying in the hospital for too long, I have ptsd."

He was drowsy and wanted to sleep just now, but now he was afraid that Lu Youyuan would take him to the hospital directly, so he didn't dare to sleep anymore.

Shi Zhou was suffering from a fever, but he continued to chat with the other party firmly, but his voice became softer and softer: "Why did Wan Dong say that we first met in that alley, wasn't it at my house?"

"No."

Shi Zhou wanted to listen to him more, so he tugged at the sleeve of the other party, and begged in a low voice: "I really can't remember, please tell me."

Lu Youyuan sighed silently, his voice was low, as if attracted by gravity, it was very fascinating: "It wasn't the first time I saw you at the birthday party, we first met a year ago ..."

***

Many things in the world begin with that thoughtful glance.

Lu Youyuan felt the same way a year ago.

If I didn't take another look into the alley, maybe there wouldn't be so many incidents later.

The old city where he lives is a famous "three no-regards" zone, with old streets, low-rise houses, and illegal buildings built indiscriminately.

Everywhere you look, there is a sense of dilapidation that the mud can't support the walls.

In such a place with extremely poor law and order, there are generally many gangsters, but there are no good people willing to set foot here.

Here are people who are so poor that they are left alone, those who have rotten fish and shrimps, and those who are in debt and struggling in the mud without success.

So Lu Youyuan never expected to see such a beautiful child in the alley.

The other party ran to this place from nowhere. He was wearing a hospital gown and his bare feet were dazzlingly white. It was very difficult to move away step by step.

He didn't want to meddle in other people's business, he just took a look at it, then withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward.

Unexpectedly, after sunset and dusk, he ran into the other party on the way back. This time the situation seemed a little critical, and the most notorious gangster in this area blocked him in the alley.

When Lu Youyuan saw the other party raise his clear eyes, Lili's little face looked flustered and pale.

Those eyes seemed to be filled with a sea of ​​stars, but upon closer inspection, one could find that they were panic-stricken and distracted.

Lu Youyuan frowned.

What a little blind man.
