stars run to him

【37】

Soon, it will be New Years.

The streets and alleys became lively early, red lanterns were hung on the side of the road, and every household pasted the word "Fu" and couplets.

The dry goods store on the street was full of people, and the voice of the old man selling malt candy next door was as loud as ever.Before it was time to make lunch, the parents gathered on the side of the road to chat with each other with several bags of vegetables.

The sound of bicycle bells and car horns collided together, making a mess like a hodgepodge.

The world is bustling with people.

Only Lin Yuxing was alone.

He only wore one shoe on his left foot, and stepped on the road with one deep foot and one shallow foot.

The sock on his right foot had been worn out by the stones on the ground, and the sole of his foot was freezing cold. Even though the wound was bleeding, he was so numb that he couldn't feel it.

He ran a long way without daring to stop for a moment.It wasn't until he couldn't run anymore, and his whole body was sore as if he had been whipped, that he slowly stopped.

His teeth were chattering, and his beautiful eyes seemed to be dusty and lost their luster, replaced by endless blankness.He was so afraid that someone would take him back to that cramped room, that he would never be able to go back to City C because of this, and that he would eventually become the second Lin Xiufeng.

The cold wind poured into Lin Yuxing's thin high collar, and he didn't wear a coat.He lowered his head, and found that the hem of his clothes had been torn open, and the woolen yarns were clumsily cluttered together.

Several children ran past him with a windmill, bringing a gust of cold wind.

Lin Yuxing felt a mouthful of blood foam in his mouth.

He walked forward aimlessly, and there was an obvious bruise at the corner of his eye, which was particularly conspicuous in the crowd.His arm was even more covered with blood, and the blood from the wound had coagulated.

He touched his pocket and found that he still had a little change, so he went to the pharmacy to buy some disinfectant and gauze.

Seeing that he was in such a mess, the pharmacy owner kindly asked him to sit in the store for a while, and helped him heal the scratch on his arm: "Can you also apply some medicine on your face?"

Lin Yuxing thanked him in a low voice, his throat was already hoarse.

After finishing everything, the boss took out a pair of old slippers from the storage room and put them at Lin Yuxing's feet: "If you don't mind, wear these, they are clean."

Lin Yuxing shrank back her feet without shoes, and said again: "Thank you."

"Did the bottom of your foot hurt too?"

"Yes, I will handle this myself, thank you."

The boss is a kind female Omega. Seeing Lin Yuxing's miserable appearance, she thought of something bad.

She stared at the abuse marks on Lin Yuxing's face, and asked anxiously, "Do you need to call the police for you?"

Lin Yuxing slowly raised his head, his injured face was extremely miserable in the eyes of others.

He opened his lips and moved it with difficulty, but no sound came out.

Why didn't he think of calling the police?

But in such a small place, he has no money, no influence, and no family to rely on, so he dare not call the police at all.

The main reason is that the rape was attempted, and he had no one to testify against him.

Instead, it was Ah Shan who was beaten like that and tied up.Cheng Rong and the others might all be Ah Shan's witnesses and beat him up.

After this encounter, he couldn't even trust Lin Xiufeng anymore.

And even if Ah Shan was still taken away under such circumstances, it would be fine to detain him for a few days at most.

Lin Yuxing knew that a villain like Ah Shan held grudges, and also expected that his life would not be better in the future, so he couldn't help feeling completely chilled.He was terrified, like a fully drawn bow that couldn't withstand a light flick, and was very fragile.

He was very worried that Ah Shan would go to C University later to take revenge on himself, which would implicate the innocent Gu Zhongyi and Su Yu.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuxing shuddered.

How dare he go to the police?

So, seeing the boss who had already picked up the microphone of the landline, Lin Yuxing repeatedly stopped him: "Don't call the police for me!" He lost all strength, shivering as if soaked in ice water.

Lin Yuxing is only 19 years old this year, so he is not deeply involved in the world.Faced with such a situation, he really didn't know what to do.

After a while, he turned pale and covered his face with his hands helplessly.

He originally thought that if he was admitted to university, everything would develop in a good direction.

The reality hit him hard.

In fact, the bad days are only temporarily covered up by the warmth of C University, it has not changed at all, it is Lin Yuxing's usual life.

The heater was on in the pharmacy.

Lin Yuxing's stiff hands and feet gradually regained consciousness, and the pain spread and spread all over his nerves, eroding his willpower.

He kept thinking back to the morning, the pain of the fists falling on him.

The physiques of Omega and Alpha are very different, the fight this morning made Lin Yuxing terrified.Just a little bit short, he will be suppressed by Ah Shan, bite a mark hard, and lock an invisible iron chain.

He is the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and he is even scarred.

As an Omega, the boss probably guessed something and understood the pain.She understands that in such a small place, Omega's fate cannot be compared with that of Alpha or Beta.

She brought Lin Yuxing a cup of hot water, not intending to drive him away.

The bell on the store door rang, and customers came in to buy medicine one after another. The injured Lin Yuxing became the focus of everyone's attention.

Lin Yuxing understands that this is not a shelter, and he shouldn't stay for a long time.But now he has nowhere to go, without his ID card and mobile phone, it is almost impossible to go back to City C.

But Lin Yuxing didn't intend to sit still.

He concluded that Ah Shan and the others were also afraid to call the police, so he had to find a way to hang around outside for a few days, and then quietly find an opportunity to meet Cheng Shaohua.

Although Cheng Shaohua was stupid, it shouldn't be a big problem to secretly help Cheng Rong take out his ID card and mobile phone while he was drunk.

At present, what Lin Yuxing needs to worry about the most is how to find a shelter and the problem of full stomach.

From the fear just now to the worry now, he is in a state of isolation and helplessness every moment.

After thinking about it, Gu Zhongyi's figure frequently appeared in his head.Unexpectedly, during this period of getting along, he has already begun to rely on Gu Zhongyi's care invisibly, and miss the warmth of Gu Zhongyi's palm.

It doesn't even need Gu Zhongyi's actual help, as long as Gu Zhongyi can rub his head at this moment and give him a little encouragement, he will be full of energy immediately.

However, Lin Yuxing didn't do anything, he didn't even dare to tell Gu Zhongyi the truth.

But in a blink of an eye, he thought again, anyway... Gu Zhongyi doesn't know what's wrong with him, so just make a random phone call and listen to his voice, otherwise this kind of life will be too difficult.

But for some reason, Gu Zhongyi's phrase "Yu Xing, friends are for relying on each other" resounded in his mind countless times, hypnotizing him and destroying his tenacious determination.

He was really helpless and pitifully lonely.Therefore, under extreme pressure, he actually had a humble hallucination.

"Yu Xing."

"Yu Xing—"

He heard Gu Zhongyi's gentle tone, calling him over and over again, like a warm color blooming in the winter: "Yu Xing, you can rely on me."

Lin Yuxing was startled for a moment, and looked at the landline on the counter in a strange way.His eye sockets were wet in spite of himself, and he did not know how many times he argued with himself in his heart.

Finally, he finally convinced himself, limped to the counter, and approached the landline involuntarily.

His desire has also changed from simply listening to the voice at first, to: If I tell him, will he come right away?

Lin Yuxing's mind was chaotic, and he couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion in his anxiety.

With a hoarse voice, he begged the boss: "Hello... I really don't have any money with me, can I make a free call?" He said quickly, "Or I will pay you later!"

The boss is very nice: "It's okay, you can call."

"Thank you!"

Since Gu Zhongyi was his salaryman, he memorized Gu Zhongyi's phone number without any hassle.Unexpectedly, this unnecessary action became a life-saving straw for the drowning person today.

Lin Yuxing was sweating coldly on his fingertips as he pressed the numbers one by one.

It's like he's taking a gamble.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, Gu Zhongyi was still checking the surveillance at the police station.

He was single and weak, so he had to ask Gu Zhuang's secretary Chen Hua for help.In such a remote small place, Gu Zhong Yiguang has money but it is not enough, he needs contacts.

Otherwise, Gu Zhongyi would not be able to find Lin Yuxing quickly by himself.

Time passed by every minute, and the person Chen Hua arranged for him arrived late, which made him feel restless.

Chen Hua has always done things properly, so in order not to let Gu Zhongyi be neglected there, he asked someone to take care of it first by phone.

Others knew that Gu Zhongyi's identity was not simple, so they specially brought a cup of tea: "The facilities here are old, and it will be difficult to find someone for a while." He said, "Don't be in a hurry, drink some tea."

"He's injured, he's prone to accidents." Gu Zhongyi's voice was cold, he didn't want to make his attitude ugly, so he changed the subject and asked, "How about those two Alphas?"

He was referring to Ah Shan and Cheng Rong.

"You may not know that Ah Shan is a frequent visitor of ours. He insisted that Lin Yuxing himself knew about and agreed to this marriage, and that Cheng Rong's family received a bride price."

"Marriage?" Gu Zhongyi gritted his molars and suppressed his anger, "Since he knew and agreed, why did he run away?"

Gu Zhongyi believed that the traces of resistance in the room were evidence of Lin Yuxing's coercion, and he did not think that Lin Yuxing had to swallow this loss.

The speaker felt that something was wrong, and added embarrassingly: "Ah Shan and Cheng Rong are not good people, and their words are not reliable. We don't care about it, but it really needs some time."

This is also because the development of the town is backward, and even the monitoring in the streets and alleys is not complete, and Lin Yuxing is familiar with the terrain, and he specializes in running in small alleys and small roads.

The cell phone in Gu Zhongyi's pocket rang several times, it was an unfamiliar number.

He was about to pick it up when a well-looking Alpha hurried in from outside.

When the people around saw this person, they all stood up and said hello.

"Hello, Young Master Gu, I'm Mr. Chen's friend." This Alpha was very polite, and shook hands with Gu Zhongyi politely, "My name is Li Yuan."

Gu Zhongyi nodded, just as he was about to say something, the phone displayed the strange number again.He frowned, realized something, raised his hand, and made everyone quiet.

He picked up the phone, his heart pounding in his throat.

On the other end of the phone, there was no sound.

Gu Zhongyi shouted: "Yu Xing?"

"..."

The phone was hung up abruptly.

Gu Zhongyi called again, but there was no answer.

Gu Zhongyi: "Help me locate this number!"

Li Yuan moved quickly, and said, "Young Master Gu, I drove here. This town is not big, we should go there now, and people should not be far away."

In the pharmacy at this time, the boss looked at Lin Yuxing who was streaming down his face in puzzlement, and hurriedly took out a few tissues and handed them over.She didn't understand why this young man was crying all of a sudden when he didn't even cry when he took the medicine.

Still crying silently, only shedding tears.

"Where does it hurt again?" Seeing that Lin Yuxing was young, she said with concern, "Wait, I'll get you a pain reliever."

Lin Yuxing shook his head.

She said: "No money."

Lin Yuxing still shook his head, he wasn't in pain.

As soon as he heard Gu Zhongyi's voice, he fell into deep grievance and self-blame.

He was abandoned again and again since he was a child, and he never got anything.But only Gu Zhongyi, he wanted it very much, and immediately wanted to run towards that warm embrace.

He was greedy for Gu Zhongyi's tenderness, and fell deeply in Gu Zhongyi's sincerity.

He foolishly fell in love with Gu Zhongyi who did not belong to him.

The short words that came out of the receiver did not make him courageous. On the contrary, he paved the longing into a river, flowing in his heart, and he couldn't stop it no matter what.

Lin Yuxing understands that Gu Zhongyi is a day full of sunshine, but he himself is a dark night in a quagmire, so how can he drag him down?

He woke up suddenly and hung up the phone.

When a person sees the sun once, the scorching temperature will be unforgettable forever.

Lin Yuxing has seen it many times, and every time this temperature burns him, he is thrown away.

He didn't dare to gamble again, he didn't want to be cruelly abandoned even this time.No one would want to accept his life, and he should not pin his hopes on anyone.

It's like when he was 5 years old, his father left them at the gate of the orphanage; like when he was 8 years old, his twin brother left with his adoptive parents; like when he was 10 years old, Ah Yi never showed up again.

Just like now, what if Gu Zhongyi received a call?

City C and City D are so far away that it takes a whole day, and now it is approaching the New Year.

Will he come?

Between friends, is it possible to reach this level?

A heavy rain poured down.

The rain soaked the town, sealing all the light and darkness in a glass bottle.Lin Yuxing was allowed to thump the transparent bottle in a muffled voice, spying on the outside world lonely.

He shed tears silently for an unknown how long.

After arriving outside the pharmacy for a long time, the rain was splashed with white mist, forming a small stream.

It was so long that Gu Zhongyi wet his shoulders, and opened the glass door of this pharmacy.

"Yu Xing!"

Lin Yuxing turned around, stunned, and his own voice sounded in his heart.

—he will come.

Lin Yuxing ran towards Gu Zhongyi.

Before Lin Yuxing himself could react, he had bumped into Gu Zhongyi clumsily.He didn't dare to reach out to hug Gu Zhongyi, he only dared to stick to Gu Zhongyi, listening to the speeding heartbeat of the other party, weeping silently.

He couldn't even cry.

Gu Zhongyi's breathing was short, and he hugged Lin Yuxing tightly with both hands without hesitation.

The bitter orange fragrance also immediately surrounded Lin Yuxing. It was the sweetest honey, the bitter tears, and the first love that Lin Yuxing wanted to quit, but was still deeply involved in it.
