half blind

Zhang went to bed early that night.Obviously his eyesight recovered, but he didn't have any interest in doing things at all, the messy thoughts in his head were entangled, and he just fell asleep in a drowsy state.

Fortunately, when I opened my eyes the next morning, I still had a clear vision.

Zhang Qing held the phone, slid open the address book, and stared at Zhou Nanchen's name on it for a long time. Before he could take any action, Yin Ling called first.

"Qingqing, I'm in Huaishui!"

"So fast?" Zhang Qing glanced at his watch, "Which flight did you take?"

"Our own plane."

Zhang Qing was silent for a while, feeling like he had asked a stupid question.

"Qingqing, which hotel are you staying at?"

"What?"

"What else can I do, of course I'm here to play with you!" Yin Ling said energetically.

"My eldest lady, you didn't rest your feet as soon as the plane landed, you just wanted to play." Zhang Qing was speechless for a while.

"Why don't you rest? Of course, you have to have fun in the new city before the crew starts work!" Yin Ling said excitedly, "This is your hometown, you have to be responsible for being my tour guide."

"I've already told you that Huaishui is nothing fun." Zhang Qing sighed, "Unless you want to see broken alleys or steel factories."

"That's good too." Yin Ling said with a smile, "I just want to know the city where Qingqing was born."

"Okay." Zhang Qing sighed, "But don't come looking for me, because when you went out, the headline on Weibo tomorrow will be that I was taken care of by Miss Yin."

Yin Ling giggled for a long time, "Well, let's make an appointment."

So inexplicably, Zhang Qing and Yin Ling stood side by side in the alley in Huaishui and pressed the road.

The streets around here are still so familiar, surprisingly familiar.After so many years, everything has undergone earth-shaking changes, but in the small city of Huaishui, even the streets are exactly the same as seven years ago, and even the signs of the old shops have not been changed.

Walking on the street, Zhang Qing almost felt that he was back in high school, until a few children in school uniforms laughed and ran over and almost bumped into them, he suddenly came back to his senses.

"There are so many schools near here." Zhang Qing said, "There is a boys' high school in the north, and my alma mater is not far from it. Unchanged."

Yin Ling didn't speak, Zhang Qing turned to look at her, and found that she showed a look of envy, "That's great."

"What's so good about it?" Zhang Qing said with a smile, "It's just a dilapidated small third line. It hasn't even renovated the road for so many years. Look at this sidewalk, it's all covered by tree roots."

"I never went to school by myself when I was young. I was always picked up by car. I was afraid that something would happen to me." Yin Ling sighed. A small city with a sense of life.”

Zhang Qing was a little helpless, it seems that each family has its own troubles.

"Where does your family live? Did you live on campus or go to school before?"

"I'm going to school." Zhang Qing pointed to the front, "My home is in the neighborhood next to the school, and Zhou Nanchen's is separated from my home by a neighborhood."

Yin Ling's eyes widened, "Then you both live in the school district room."

"Yes." Zhang Qing smiled, "My parents moved to Huaishui when they were young because of their business. After they got married, they insisted on buying a house in the school district at a high price, just to supervise my studies at any time. Zhou Nanchen and the others The house at home was allocated by his father when he was working in the factory. Without a real estate certificate, he only has the right of residence, and can only be sold to employees in the enterprise."

Yin Ling nodded with a half understanding, not sure if she understood.

"Here, it's the neighborhood in front." After walking for a while, Zhang Qing was close enough to see the gate of the neighborhood, Zhang Qing pointed out to Yin Ling, "My home is in this neighborhood."

"Wow!" Yin Ling sighed, "Then do your parents still live here?"

"Well... yes." Zhang Qing said with some reluctance.

In fact, if Yin Lingfei hadn't said that he wanted to see the place where he was born, he would not have come here at all.There is a very high risk of bumping into acquaintances around here, and he can only hope that the mask on his face is tightly covered.

This city is loaded with too many memories of him, good and bad, all of which clung to him like a wandering ghost.

"In the past, I asked my parents to buy a bicycle for the convenience of going to school. Later, Zhou Nanchen always took me to class by bicycle. I still remember that in spring, both sides of the road were full of flowers, and the wind would blow me away. The petals are flying everywhere." Zhang Qing pointed to the street tree beside him and said with a smile.

"Your car, why didn't you take him?"

"Forget it, his son, I can move him with a ghost." Zhang Qing shook his head with a smile.

"Hey, you and Zhou Nanchen, how are you two doing?" Yin Ling bumped his shoulder and asked meaningfully.

"What...how is it?" Zhang Qing felt uncomfortable when asked, "That's it."

"I think you two are not just 'just like that'." Yin Ling winked and said, "You have been living together for a month, and he broke an arm to save you! I don't believe that nothing happened to you."

"I..." Zhang Qing's cheeks were hot, and he felt that even if he had a hundred mouths, he couldn't speak clearly, "Do you believe it or not."

"Shy, shy." Yin Ling poked Zhang Qing's cheek with a smile.

"Don't make trouble!" Zhang Qing pushed her hand away, feeling his face was getting hotter.

"Hey, after your eyesight recovers, do you still live together?" Yin Ling asked curiously, "I remember you booked a room in this hotel before?"

"Well, because we were followed by someone in the car that day, he went to stay in another hotel." Zhang Qing was still a little depressed thinking of this, "It's really better, in case the paparazzi finds out that I live with the stylist in the group ...I can't even think about it."

"Then you two haven't seen each other these two days?"

"Yeah." Not only did he never meet, Zhou Nanchen, who killed a thousand swords, never even made a phone call.

"It's really hard for you." Yin Ling patted Zhang Qing's shoulder sympathetically.

"What are you talking about, a person who has been in long-distance relationships for many years..." Zhang Qing's mouth twitched twice.

"I'm different. My boyfriend is in Cao Ying, and he always thinks about me." Yin Ling said with some pride, "Last week he even sent me a bouquet of roses. It is written with Xu Zhimo's poems. He knows that I like Xu Zhimo, and every month he sends a card with Xu Zhimo's poems written by him. Isn't it very romantic?"

"Yes, yes, very romantic." Zhang Qing couldn't help but think of Zhou Nanchen, and sighed in his heart.Who told him to like a wooden man?

"Oh, by the way, what's the matter with those marketing accounts you asked me on the phone yesterday?" Yin Ling changed the subject.

"It's nothing, it's just that someone is eyeing me and wants to get me down." Zhang Qing's expression turned cold.

"Who?" Yin Ling asked in surprise, "Could it be Bai Yidong?"

Zhang Qing snorted coldly and did not speak.

"But the numbers I found are Kong Yishan... Bai Yidong must have really found Kong Yishan as a backer!"

"I don't know, these are just speculations without evidence." Zhang Qing shook his head.

"Bai Yidong, a villain, will be punished by heaven sooner or later." Yin Ling said angrily.

The two of them strolled around the neighborhood again and bought some snacks near the school for lunch.

Not long after, Yin Ling answered the phone and hung up with an irritated "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh'."

"What's wrong? Who is it?"

"My 'broker'." Yin Ling said dryly.

Zhang Qing let out a "puchi" laugh, "Is your brother here?"

"Yeah." Yin Ling said gloomily, "What are you talking about? Don't worry about me filming in a strange city. You have to follow me and take care of me."

"Go back, your brother is doing it for your own good, don't let him worry about it."

"What about you?" Yin Ling asked, "Do you still take a taxi back by yourself?"

"I..." Zhang Qing hesitated and shook his head, "I still want to go around by myself."

"That's fine, but remember to tell Sister Rou, and don't let her worry about you."

"Got it." Zhang Qing smiled.

Not long after, Yin Ling's luxury car took her back to the hotel.Zhang Qing settled down, took a deep breath, turned around as if she had made up her mind, and turned back.

In any case, he still wanted to take a look at Zhou Nanchen's old house.

When he was in the third year of high school, he would visit his house almost every week. Even though there was silence every time he rang the doorbell, there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that Zhou Nanchen would be able to say goodbye without saying goodbye. return.

But this expectation did not come true until he was admitted to university.

Now that Zhou Nanchen is back, Zhang Qing certainly knows that there will be no one in that old house, but he still decides to go and have a look.

The old house of Zhou Nanchen's family was not far away, and Zhang Qing only had to walk for three to five minutes to get there.The old worker's residential area has not changed from seven years ago, but the peeling paint on the wall is more serious.

The wall of the building on the sunny side is covered with creepers, which have been wrapped around the rusted natural gas pipes on the side of the building.

He looked down those vines, and was surprised to find a person in front of the unit door.

"Zhou Nanchen?"

The man turned his head back, and the moment his eyes met his, he was also surprised.

Zhang Qing hurried forward a few steps, it was indeed Zhou Nanchen who was right.He was wearing very casual casual clothes today, and his hair was not well taken care of. He was completely different from his working state.

But this Zhou Nanchen is also very familiar to him, like the way he walked out of the room after staying up all night drawing countless times in high school, that unkempt and untidy look, with a kind of lazy sex appeal.

Zhang Qing noticed that the plaster cast on Zhou Nanchen's left arm was gone, and it was replaced with a more convenient splint.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Qing hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "The plaster cast on your hand has been removed?"

"Well, I went to a nearby hospital to take a picture. The doctor said that I recovered quite well, so I put on a splint with better mobility." Zhou Nanchen raised his left arm, "I think I will start work tomorrow. Come and take a look today while you have some time. How about you?"

"Yin Lingfei said she wanted to see the place where I was born, so I took her around." Zhang Qing sighed, "But she was called back to the hotel by her brother halfway, so I..."

so what?Came over to your former home like a voyeur?

Zhang Qing closed his mouth and didn't continue the rest of the sentence. Fortunately, Zhou Nanchen didn't pursue it either.

"How are you these two days? Are there any paparazzi staring at you?" Zhou Nanchen asked.

"Not yet, probably because I haven't found out which hotel I'm staying in yet." Zhang Qing smiled.

Zhou Nanchen nodded, looking relieved.

"Do you want to come here to get something?" Zhang Qing asked curiously.

"I just came to take a look." Zhou Nanchen said.

"Don't stand downstairs." Zhang Qing said with a smile, "Go up and talk?"

"I didn't take the key." Zhou Nanchen said.

Zhang Qing choked on this sentence, dare you come all the way here just to take a look?

At this moment, Zhang Qing suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head.He immediately covered the back of his head and looked back, only to find that there was no one behind him.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Nanchen looked at him strangely.

"It seems that someone... threw something and hit me." Zhang Qing was incredulous.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was tapped on the shoulder again.Zhang Qing took a closer look and found that it was a stone the size of a thumb.

A string of silver bell-like laughter came from behind, Zhang Qing turned his head, and a four or five-year-old girl hid behind the bushes with a smile on her face.

"Hey, you little brat!" Zhang Qing walked towards the direction where the little girl was, "Come out!"

The little girl made a face at him, picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at Zhang Qing. Fortunately, he dodged in time, otherwise he would have been hit again.

"Where are your parents?" Zhang Qing raised his voice, "How are you educated at home to beat people at every turn?"

The little girl still didn't speak, and ran away with a smile.

Before it was too late, Zhou Nanchen rushed out with a stride, and caught up with the little girl with his long legs. Then he put one hand under the little girl's armpit and hugged her whole.

The little girl was at a loss in mid-air for a long time, and then burst into tears with a wow.

This cry shocked the two grown men, and they were all stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Zhou Nanchen put the little girl down, while Zhang Qing walked around anxiously, "Hey, don't cry. What's your name? Where are your parents?"

However, the little girl just kept crying, her little face was flushed, and she didn't say a word.

Just when the two were at a loss, a shout came from afar.

"What are you doing! Let her go!"

Zhang Qing straightened up immediately, and said with a sigh of relief that the mother had finally come, but when she saw the person, she was stunned.

It was none other than Zhang Qing's mother, Zhu Ting.

Zhu Ting was also obviously stunned, and stared at Zhang Qing for a long time. As soon as the little girl saw Zhu Ting, she immediately ran over and hugged her thigh while crying.

Zhu Ting had no choice but to coax the little girl first, "Xuanxuan, stop crying, it's okay, mom is back."

Xuanxuan still didn't say a word, but lying in Zhu Ting's arms, her crying gradually stopped.

Zhang Qing simply didn't know what expression to use to face the inexplicable scene in front of him.

Zhu Ting stood there coaxing the little girl for 2 minutes before the child barely stopped crying, sobbing and hugging Zhu Ting's thigh without letting go.

With a tired look on Zhu Ting's face, she raised her head to look at Zhang Qing and the two, "Aren't you filming in Liancheng? Why are you back?"

"We... the film crew wanted to shoot scenes here, so we changed places." Zhang Qing said.

"Oh." After Zhu Ting heard this, her eyes dimmed for a moment, but her tone remained unchanged.

"You..." Zhang Qing wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it in the end, and was interrupted by Zhu Ting.

"It's already here, do you want to go upstairs and sit down?" Zhu Ting hugged Xuanxuan who was stuck to her feet. At that moment, Zhang Qing felt that her back was a bit vicissitudes.

"Okay." Zhang Qing agreed and had no other choice.
