Chase me and be responsible for me

Chapter 97, Double Standard

In the living room, except for the voice of the man on the other end of the video, the rest of the room was silent.

Zhou Ze met those urgent eyes and blinked lightly, as if to use silent words to tell Ruan Qiang not to worry.

It wasn't until the end of the video that Ruan Qiang put his hand down.

"Don't worry." Zhou Ze raised his hand, put his warm palm against her face, and comforted her: "I knew there would be such a day, and these things can't hurt me anymore.

From the time she asked Ning Yin to send money to her aunt every month, and sometimes her aunt would call her when it was not enough, she knew how greedy such a family was.

He said that it had nothing to do with her, but what he did always made her feel cold.

But fortunately, after all these years, Ning Yin kept the remittance records from the first time to the last few times for her to meet unexpected needs.

Ruan Qiang nodded, his eyes full of pity.

She has known for a long time that what the person in front of her has experienced is actually more waist than she imagined, but she still can't help wanting to protect it.

She only hated herself for not finding her earlier, so that she would not have to face all the ugliness in the world alone.

"Let's go, I want to talk to my aunt and Zhang Min." Zhou Ze let out a long sigh of relief after getting off Ruan Qiang, with a calm expression on his face.

Ruan Qiang was afraid that she would be brave, so he had countless things to say in his heart.

She also stood up from the sofa and saw that Zhou Ze's collar was opened a little too much, she reached out to cover the exposed skin, "I'll go with you."

Zhou Ze originally wanted to refuse, but he thought of the problems that have been bothering the two of them for a long time.

Perhaps, this is an opportunity.A start that can reassure Ruan Qiang.

She nodded, took Ruan Qiang's mobile phone, looked at the time, still did not forget the beer bottle in the kitchen, and said, "Let's go outside to eat, and you can go directly after eating."

Ruan Qiang did not refuse, but agreed.

Neither of them wore hats or masks when they went out. Fortunately, Zhou Ze had them at home.She went to the cloakroom, put on a fisherman's hat for herself, and put a black peaked cap on Ruan Qiang's head.

Ruan Qiang's complexion is clear, and his facial features are cold, like a ray of winter sunshine shining on the corner of the wall covered with thick white snow. His hair is black and straight, much longer than the first time we met.The brim of the hat covered half of her face, making her chin even thinner.

The two stood at the porch, after Zhou Ze put on Ruan Qiang's hat, he couldn't resist kissing her on the lips, and it disappeared in a flash like a dragonfly touches water.

"It's so beautiful." After Zhou Ze finished speaking, the smile in his eyes was like a boat paddle across the calm water surface, reflecting shallow water patterns, and he pulled his hat down to cover half of his face, " Went out to eat."

The two randomly found a very private restaurant at noon, and after hastily eating, they drove to Aunt Zhou Ze's house.

Aunt Zhou Ze's house is in the suburbs. Follow the navigation to guide the direction. The further you go, the more you see some neighborhoods that have been around for a long time.

There are very few pedestrians on the last street, and the leaves of the sycamore trees on both sides are scattered.The community surrounded by fences, from the outside, gives people the feeling of a dangerous building.

"This navigation has ended—"

When the female voice in the navigation was about to continue talking, Zhou Ze's eyesight and hands were about to close.

"Are you there?" Ruan Qiang asked sideways.

Zhou Ze didn't even raise his head, and followed the few times he commanded, "Drive ahead to the entrance of the community, put the car outside, and let's go in together."

Ruan Qiang cast his eyes out of the window.

There were a lot of vacant parking spaces on the side. She drove the car not far from the entrance of the community, stopped, spread her hands towards Zhou Ze, and began to ask for her mobile phone.

"Don't worry, I'm watching." Zhou Ze opened Ruan Qiang's Weibo.

Ruan Qiang's original microblogs are rare, and most of them are reposts about public welfare organizations, movie reposts and some festival blessings.

"Don't you like posting on Weibo?" Zhou Ze could scroll to the bottom with a single swipe, and after seeing the content clearly, he was a little dull and threw the phone into Ruan Qiang's hand.

After receiving the phone, Ruan Qiang put it in his pocket, then nodded, "I don't like to speak on the Internet."

Young people in this era don't like to share their lives and make comments online. Ruan Qiang's words gave Zhou Ze the illusion of living in ancient times, aroused her curiosity, and asked, "Why?"

Zhou Ze originally asked casually.She thought that the answer she would get would be, it's too annoying, she simply doesn't like it and so on.But Ruan Qiang frowned, and thought seriously, "The Internet is developing very fast, and a random video, as long as it has enough gimmicks, can attract a lot of people to watch."

Zhou felt that what she said was interesting, so he nodded, motioning for her to continue.

Ruan Qiang's voice was very low and his tone was calm, "But it was too fast, so that we didn't have a chance to know the truth, and just took the spear called justice to stab the side that thought there was a problem."

That's the truth, Zhou Ze recalled the incident between her and Zhou Tong at the beginning, the quarrel was turned upside down on the Internet, and almost everyone said that she had no spirit of contract, disregarded the position of her companions, and acted arbitrarily according to her own wishes .

But how did they know that when she was chatting with the director, she had already won a role for Zhou Tong.

"And I'm not sure if anyone lost their life because of my words." When Ruan Qiang said this, he sighed, "So, cherish every opportunity to speak."

Zhou Ze nodded, agreeing with her point of view.

But the atmosphere in the car has become somewhat serious because of the content of the chat between the two just now.

Zhou Ze changed the topic at will while unfastening his seat belt, "Then if we make it public and many people attack on the Internet, what should we do?"

With a bang, the carriage became quiet because of this sentence.

Zhou Ze didn't wait for an answer, thinking that Ruan Qiang didn't think of it, or thought of it, the timing was wrong, and when he was about to pass by vaguely again, someone suddenly grabbed the arm hanging by the side.

Zhou Ze glanced sideways, and his eyes fell directly on Ruan Qiang's face, and he was taken aback.

The corners of Ruan Qiang's mouth were bent into a crescent shape, his thin eyelids were lifted slightly, and his eyes were rounded because of surprise.When he spoke, his voice contained uncontrollable joy, as lively as a bird in spring, "Sister, what did you just say?"

Zhou Ze couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

"Sister, do you want to make it public with me?" Ruan Qiang ignored her smile and asked seriously.

Zhou Ze smiled and said nothing, and asked her: "You haven't told me, what if you are publicly scolded?"

She originally thought that Ruan Qiang would answer something like ignoring it and finding someone to brush it off.Unexpectedly, she still underestimated the extent of Ruan Qiang's double standards.

Ruan Qiang held her arm with one hand, his eyes wandered, unable to find a gathering point, as if trying hard to think.

Zhou watched her every move, not letting go of any expression on her face.

Soon, she saw that Ruan Qiang, who seemed to be holding a difficult question just now, his eyes became bright in the next second, but the words that came out rarely made people think, whether he had thought about it or not.

"I'll just scold you back," she said, fearing that Zhou Ze would be worried, so she immediately made amends later, "I won't need my sister's help then, I'll scold one after another."

Zhou Ze couldn't hold back, he laughed out loud, and sighed again in his heart, she really found a treasure.

Because of the chat in the car, when Zhou Ze stood at the gate of the community, his heart was rarely at peace.

Because it is an old community, it is easy to get in from the gate guard.Zhou Ze has not been here a few times in recent years, but he used to come here often, so he is very familiar with it.

The community is a cement road, but because of the long time, there are inevitably some potholes.The two walked straight along the road facing the gate, and didn't stop until they reached the last building.

"Here it is."

Zhou Ze looked at the old floor in front of him, with no disgust on his face, but a little irritated.

When she first debuted, her aunt was abused by her uncle one after another because her cousin Zhang Min was taken by her father to gamble. At that time, her aunt would call her over and tell her about her troubles.Every time it comes to the end, my aunt always says, Ah Ze, I know this matter has nothing to do with you, so don't blame my aunt.

Zhou Ze came here most of the time at night. The dark stairs and the gloomy atmosphere made her rush out when she finally got out.

Memories of the past are like a flood, submerging Zhou Ze's defense line little by little.Even though her hand was in Ruan Qiang's, it was still cold and stiff.

The hands of the two were tightly clasped.

After Ruan Qiang felt her discomfort, he put both hands in his pockets together.

She didn't say anything, and with just one movement, she pulled Zhou Ze back from the nightmare.

Zhou Ze turned sideways, looked at the side faces of the people around him, "Go in."

Ruan Qiang nodded, and when he was about to take a step, he heard the person next to him speak again, his voice was clear and shallow.

"It's dark inside, you pull me."

When Ruan Qiang turned his head, Zhou Ze was still standing there.Even through the brim of the hat, her face is slightly raised, her eyes are still reassuring.

"rest assured."

After the words fell, Zhou Ze felt the hand passing through his fingers tightened.

Because the aisles on each floor are exposed, the interior of the stairs is not dark, but it is very old, with mottled railings and debris piled up in the corners.

The two of them walked forward along the corners of the corners, and there was a musty smell in their nostrils. The smell didn't dissipate until they reached the top floor.

Aunt Zhou Ze lived in Tongzilou, where everyone shared a kitchen and toilet.Walking along the aisle, Ruan Qiang saw that there was no door to the kitchen, and the bathroom was barely covered by a blue curtain, and the stench inside had no sign of dissipating.

When we were in the car just now, Ruan Qiang probably heard Zhou Ze talk about the family situation, including sending money to his aunt every month, but why did he still live in this place.

When he got to the door facing the innermost one, Ruan Qiang said, "You don't keep sending money, why does your aunt's family still live in this place?"

Zhou Ze smiled slightly, and solved her doubts, "It's hard to get rid of the gambling addiction. Zhang Min takes money from his family every month, and even borrows usury loans. My aunt is soft-tempered, so it's impossible to ignore it."

Ruan Qiang nodded, and when he was about to speak, there was a crackling sound from inside.

The outer door collapsed as soon as it was pushed, and it couldn't withstand the strong wind, nor could it withstand the quarrel inside.

"Your brother is responsible for the way I am now. Give me the money." A violent male voice came out.

"The usury came to press me several times, and all the things in the house were emptied. I really can't get the money out." The woman's voice sounded hysterical.

"I don't care, arrange the money tonight, or I will go to Zhou Ze to make trouble." After the man finished speaking, a dull voice came from inside.

Zhou Ze's pupils shrank, and he opened the door without any hesitation.

In the dim living room, the low table fell to the ground, the white porcelain bowl was smashed to pieces, and the debris mixed with the food fell on the ground. One stool was upright and the other was upside down.

There were two people standing inside, one in his early twenties with a bloated figure, and the other in his 40s with a frail figure.

They heard the voice and looked at the door in unison. After a while, they heard a woman in her early forties calling out to Ah Ze with a trembling voice.
