Why are you in such a hurry

When Gu Jianyin and Cheng Lili arrived at Guigao, it was the time of self-study last night. Groups of high school students came from all directions, their chatter and laughter were blown away by gusts of cold wind.

No matter how you look at it, it is calm and peaceful.

Only then did Gu Jianyin think of a crucial question: "What does Student Deng look like?"

Cheng Lili: "..."

The two stared at each other.

Gu Jianyin thought for a while, asked Cheng Lili for her landline number, and called.

Zhao Yong had been obediently staying at Cheng's house. He was shocked when he heard the phone ringing. At first, he didn't dare to pick it up casually. handset.

"Xiaoyong?" A deep voice came from the receiver, with a somewhat fierce tone, "Do you know which class the surname Deng is in?"

"I don't know about this, but I heard the bald man mention his name, Deng Meiren. Have you been to Guigao yet? Have you seen the bald man and his gang?"

It's easy to see, but I don't see it.

Gu Jianyin said: "Okay, that's enough, you stay there, Xiaoqiang and the others come back and don't say anything."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Jianyin took Cheng Lili to the school: "Let's ask the teacher there directly."

"But there are so many students, it's impossible for the teacher to know all of them?" Cheng Lili felt that this method was useless.

"Other students don't know, but it is very likely that Deng will be remembered."

The boy is named "Beauty", and he is probably the only one in the whole school.

Before Gu Jianyin and Cheng Lili stepped into the school gate, they were stopped by the school police guarding the duty room.

"You are not students here, so you can't go in."

"I'm sorry, we're looking for a student. There's something urgent about his family and we have to let him go back immediately." Ms. Gu's acting skills are superb, she doesn't write drafts when she lies, and her fiery expression frightens the school police and Cheng Lili for a moment.

"Why don't you just ask for leave if you have something to do at home? Is it such a coincidence that the child has something to do at home just after leaving the house?" The school police frowned and looked at them carefully, half-believing.

"It's such a coincidence. If you don't believe me, call him out. We can't abduct people in front of you." Gu Jianyin said.

The school policeman hesitated for a moment, but he still preferred to believe it, so he asked, "Which class is he in and what's his name?"

"His name is Deng Meiren."

"Oh! It's him!" This time the campus police believed it, and he said, "5 minutes ago, the police had already come and took him away."

Gu Jianyin and Cheng Lili looked at each other, and both heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.

"What happened to his house?" The school police leaned over gossiping to find out.

Gu Jianyin: "..."

Cheng Lili: "..."

They later learned that after receiving the call, the police rushed to the school immediately to protect Deng, and then sent people to closely monitor the school gate. Controlled knives such as triangular knives and daggers were found, and the group of people were all brought back to the bureau.

Gu Jianyin and Cheng Lili felt that they had nothing to do here, so they walked slowly along the way they came home.

"It seems that you love your brother very much." Gu Jianyin bought a pack of cigarettes at a newsstand, and lit one, but the wind was too strong, and he didn't light it up after several attempts.

"That's just the sense of responsibility that an older sister should have. I think I was so worried just now because I should be so worried as an older sister." Cheng Lili laughed at herself, with a relaxed tone, as if the fear just now was fake .

With a cigarette in his mouth, Gu Jianyin reached out and grabbed Cheng Lili's shoulders to pull her towards him, then unzipped her coat, raised his chin and said, "Help me out of the wind."

Cheng Lili: "..."

Gu Jianyin buried his head in Cheng Lili's open coat and lit the cigarette, a puff of green smoke mixed with the smell of tobacco spread across Cheng Lili's front, and there was a faint scent of roses.

"Your brother looks like your mother, what about you..." Gu Jianyin raised his head, and sprayed a puff of smoke on Cheng Lili's face, causing Cheng Lili to turn her face away and cough.

Gu Jianyin smiled and reached out to help her pat her back.

After Cheng Lili coughed, she turned her head and glared at Gu Jianyin pretending to be annoyed. Gu Jianyin immediately patted her head to comfort her.

"Do you think I don't look like my parents at all?" Cheng Lili deliberately raised her head high as if she wanted Gu Jianyin to see clearly.

Gu Jianyin pinched her cheek, then pinched her chin and looked around for a few seconds, and finally concluded: "They picked you up."

Cheng Lili laughed straight: "You guessed it right."

"Damn!" Gu Jianyin shook her head with a smile, but immediately realized something was wrong, and her smile gradually subsided.

"...Are you serious?" Gu Jianyin was a little shocked.

Cheng Lili looked indifferent, shrugged and said, "This kind of thing is not uncommon, and it is reported in newspapers almost every day."

"Then you find a newspaper that publishes such things every day and let me read it." Gu Jianyin said.

"Biao Jiangzi, Your Majesty is bullying your concubines." Cheng Lili grabbed Gu Jianyin's arm and shook it coquettishly.

Gu Jianyin: "..."

The street lights in the city are always similar, ambiguous orange, and the light is always very faint, dragging people's shadows for a long, long time.

Cheng Lili asked: "Is smoking fun? Give me a sip too."

Gu Jianyin glanced at her with a complicated expression, three parts worried and seven parts helpless.

"I grew up in an orphanage and was adopted by them when I was four years old. At that time, they thought they would not be able to have children. Unexpectedly, two years later, they had a younger brother." Cheng Lili was not sure whether Gu Jianyin liked it or not. She likes to hear such old-fashioned stories, but she still told them, in a very calm tone, not trying to attract pity or sympathy, just purely to let her know.

Gu Jianyin abruptly pulled her behind the big tree beside the road. The sycamore tree that had lost all its leaves looked extremely sluggish in the cold wind. The two of them leaned against the tall tree, hiding themselves in the thick shadows.

Gu Jianyin's arms were slender and powerful, firmly hugging Cheng Lili's shoulders, the cigarette butts flickering between his fingers, like a spark struggling in the endless dark night full of colors, before it was brilliant, it was already in full bloom.

"It's no big deal." Gu Jianyin said, his tone was a little cold, but his arms were warm.

"I don't feel wronged, just talking."

Cheng Lili understood that Gu Jianyin wanted to comfort her. Miss Gu couldn't speak nice words, but only knew how to express her concerns in the most direct way.

"I didn't expect you to be really a Cinderella." Gu Jianyin rubbed her head, and the long ash fell from her fingers and scattered into the wind.

"I haven't been abused." Cheng Lili laughed out loud.

The long-standing grievances or resentment, all kinds of things that can be figured out or not, are all relieved by Gu Jianyin's hug.

She finally had someone she cared about, and the person she cared about actually cared about her. No matter how unfair God was, it was already fair to her.
