Baby

Before completely losing contact with Tang Li, Tang Daihe called Li Ruxue several times, just to check if they had arrived home and when they would come back.

Tang Daihe didn't like to call and ask questions all the time, but Jiang Ye said that since Tang Li called him that night, but the call was cut off because of poor signal, when he called Tang Li's phone again, there was a busy tone, and he couldn't get through. .Jiang Ye felt itchy in his heart, so he often urged Tang Daihe to call Aunt Li. After calling Aunt Li a few times, Li Ruxue became impatient.When asked when they would return here, Li Ruxue always said "a few days later, I'll be back a few days later".

Jiang Ye wondered what was wrong, Tang Li's cell phone couldn't get through, and Li Ruxue's side was also lagging behind.At the beginning, she was still willing to occasionally send messages to the brothers, but later on, she gradually lost her patience, and just said, "I'll be home soon, let's talk about anything when I go home", then hung up the phone, and never stopped. Let him talk to Tang Li.Li Ruxue's attitude was a little impatient, so Tang Daihe stopped Jiang Ye from arguing and calling to remind her.But seeing that the summer vacation was almost over, there was no news from Tang Li.Jiang Ye's heart became more and more entangled, and one day he finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked Tang Daihe, "Mom, do you feel... that something is wrong? That's—that's right, do you think Aunt Li is a little... "

Seeing his faltering, Tang Daihe smiled and said, "What are you thinking about? Aunt Li is Aunt Tang Li."

"I know, it's just—" Jiang Ye said dejectedly, "You see, since Aunt Li just recognized Tang Lixiang, she seemed to be eager to embrace him. And sometimes, sometimes I heard What Aunt Li said made me feel very uncomfortable..."

Tang Daihe was stunned: "What are you talking about?"

"It just keeps emphasizing that Tang Li and Tang Li are close relatives by blood, as if we are outsiders..."

"Hey," Tang Daihe frowned, "What are you talking about, don't think about it. Aunt Li and Tang Li are indeed blood relatives. I can understand her desire to bring her nephew back to her hometown. You are too clingy to your brother, but Tang Li Mr. Li is going to grow up."

"Mom! I didn't mean that either..." Jiang Ye sighed.

Tang Daihe saw Jiang Ye's frowning expression, smiled and patted his head, and comforted him: "Okay, don't think too much. When your Aunt Li first came to us, she also said that she didn't want to disturb our lives, just I want to get close to my nephew. What's more... Tang Li voluntarily lived with her and went back to his hometown together. Tang Li made an appointment with me before he left, and he will move back home immediately when he comes back. But—”

Tang Dai Holder paused, and Jiang Ye immediately pricked up his ears to listen.

"However, if Aunt Li really... wants to take Tang Li away, we will definitely not allow it." Tang Daihe promised seriously, "Tang Li is our family, and this will never change."

Jiang Ye felt a little relieved when he got Tang Daihe's attitude.

But after Jiang Ye's reminder, Tang Daihe became slightly puzzled.She didn't think too much about it at first, and thought it was Li Ruxue who wanted to take her nephew out to play, but now it seems... Li Ruxue's recent behavior is indeed too wrong.

When Jiang Shaohui was resting, Tang Daihe approached him worriedly and said, "Shaohui, I've thought about it for a long time, why don't we call and ask again?"

Seeing Tang Daihe's appearance, Jiang Shaohui couldn't help being amused: "What? You've also been infected by Jiang Ye. Didn't you say that you won't be calling again?"

"Hearing what he said, I really think it's a bit weird." Tang Daihe sighed, "We have always called, and she hasn't called us yet. Half a month has passed since the last call, and the summer vacation It's almost over, she doesn't seem to have any intention of coming back? Xiao Li has to make up lessons in the third year of junior high school, if he doesn't come back early, I'm afraid he will miss the progress of his studies..."

Jiang Shaohui was silent for a while, but he couldn't find a reason to refute Tang Daihe, so he waved his hand and said, let's hit one.

Nervously, Tang Daihe took out her mobile phone and dialed Li Ruxue's number. While the connection tone came from the phone, she was thinking about how to speak euphemistically for a while.But 1 minute later, the female voice on the other end of the phone said: "The number you dialed is an empty number..."

Tang Daihe was stunned, and repeatedly confirmed that the number was correct, and dialed several times, but all the results were empty numbers.

Could it be that the number has been changed?But Li Ruxue changed her phone number, why didn't she tell them?

After discussing with Jiang Shaohui, Tang Daihe and Jiang Shaohui decided to wait. There might be some temporary accident, and they should be notified when Li Ruxue is free.

Until the end of the summer vacation, the students of the third grade of junior high school ushered in the start of school.But Tang Li never returned to school, and his mobile phone was always in a state of being disconnected.The homeroom teacher called Tang Daihe several times before Tang Daihe realized that they had lost contact with Tang Li.

Before Jiang Ye settled down in the new university, he received a call from Tang Daihe, saying that Tang Li hadn't come to school yet, and they had been unable to contact his aunt and nephew.

The feeling of uneasiness was confirmed, and Jiang Ye's heart sank to the bottom.He was clutching the phone with a pale face, and his roommates came to worry about what was going on, but Jiang Ye shook his head with an ugly expression, got up and walked to the balcony.

runaway?Have an accident?Missing?Trafficking?Either way it's hopeless.

"Mom," he heard his voice trembling, "You promised me that you would not let Tang Li be taken away by others..."

"I know, I know...Jiang Ye, let's calm down, okay? Actually, we don't know much about Aunt Li. But your father has already gone to investigate, and we have seen Aunt Li's household registration book , ID card, and the address of her hometown, and your father will go there in a few days."

Jiang Ye bit his lip and paced back and forth anxiously.He suddenly said: "Call the police—Mom, can I call the police? It's been a few days since I lost contact, can I file a missing person report! Or, or human trafficking—"

Tang Daihe was silent for a while, his voice full of helplessness: "Actually, Li Ruxue is Tang Li's close relative, and can be regarded as Tang Li's guardian. If he calls the police... it may not be easy to file a case. If he insists on fighting for it, he still needs some help." time."

Jiang Ye's heart cooled down little by little, and Tang Daihe said again: "But your father will definitely use all the resources at hand to find Tang Li."

Jiang Ye leaned against the railing of the balcony with his mobile phone in a daze, the autumn night wind was a bit chilly, scenes of getting along with his younger brother flashed through his mind, and he remembered the first time Tang Li cried in his arms , Thinking of the school entrance banquet when they met for the last time, which was a bit regrettable, the more I thought about it, the sadder it became.

"Mom," Jiang Ye suddenly trembled, "I remembered. I was on the phone with Tang Li before, and he said that the place where his aunt works is a very warm city, and he only needs to wear two clothes in winter. I guessed a few places where he They all said no, I think it might be on the southern coast.”

When Tang Daihe heard about it, he hurriedly found a pen and paper, and recorded all the possible places Jiang Ye mentioned.In the end, she frowned and thought about the possibility of those cities one by one, and finally nodded and said: "I see. I will let your father pay attention to these places. After a few days, I will go one by one to see if there are any There's no clue..."

Jiang Ye's eyes became hot, and he gripped the phone tightly: "Mom, thank you for your hard work."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ye found the number with the note "brother" from the contact book, and the message record was still on the second day after Tang Li left.At that time, Jiang Ye was lying on the bed feeling bored and flustered, so he sent a text message to his younger brother to chat with him.Tang Li said that he was in the car, so he asked him to pay attention to safety on the road and call him back at night.

Unexpectedly, that turned out to be the last communication between the two brothers.

Should have known, should have known!All signs and all doubts point to this sentence in the end.He should have realized that Li Ruxue's appearance was too sudden, he should have realized that Li Ruxue's mind could not have been so simple from the very beginning!He should have fastened Tang Li firmly to his belt to prevent him from running around. He clearly knew how important Tang Li was to him.But Li Ruxue is so smart, approaching Tang Lilai to gain his trust, and taking him out many times to make Tang Daihe and Jiang Shaohui relax their vigilance... What a perfect cover-up, kidnapping under the guise of "love"!Li Ruxue didn't understand and didn't want to respect what Tang Li really needed.If he just blindly imposes his expectations on Tang Li in the name of love, will Tang Li really be happy staying by her side?

But knowing that Li Ruxue is such a person, what did Jiang Ye do?Getting angry at Tang Li, pushing Tang Li into Li Ruxue's arms; being accustomed to Tang Li's company, neglecting to take care of his emotions... It seems that people only realize how precious they are after losing.How he regretted it!

what to do?His gift hasn't been delivered yet, didn't Tang Li say that he wants to go to the monastery with him when he comes back?He specially repaired the bicycle - they also made an appointment to go to a high school and a university together, and they clearly planned so many futures full of each other...

Jiang Ye remembered what he said after seeing Tang Li at the school entrance banquet that day: "But it's okay, I'm willing to wait as long as I want." If he knew that this would be the last time he would have the chance to tell Tang Li in person before he disappeared. In a word, Jiang Ye would never say that even if he was killed.Jiang Ye is used to having Tang Li by his side every day, he never imagined that one day his younger brother would leave home.He was wrong, Tang Li was not by his side, he absolutely couldn't wait too long, he couldn't wait for a second!

Jiang Ye opened the text messages again, edited and sent them one by one.

"Tang Li, where are you, parents are very worried about you."

"You didn't come to school, does that mean your aunt?"

"Didn't you say that you really want to move back home and be with us forever?"

"Anyway, I'll wait for you."

"Tang Li, I miss you so much, write me a letter, please."

"Tang Li...you miss me too and want to go home, don't you?"

When he came to another city to go to school, Jiang Ye got a new SIM card.But he didn't throw away the old one, because he was afraid that one day Tang Li wanted to contact him but found that the number was empty.Jiang Ye held the phone screen close to his chest, restrained himself from bursting into tears, and secretly prayed in his heart that he could hear the crisp ringtone of the incoming call reminder—even if it was just a moment.Tang Li's typing was always half a beat slower than others, but every time he returned his brother's message, he was the fastest.

But this time, Jiang Ye didn't get his wish.The familiar number saved in the phone's address book will never send him any messages again.
