chapter 58

A few days before school started, Gu Huaizhou called Zhong Yan, and he said on the phone, "I found your parents."

Zhong Yan's heart was turbulent, and she calmed down for a while before answering: "Okay, please pass on their information to me."

Gu Huaizhou said directly: "Don't bother, come here and I will take you there."

Zhong Yan did not refuse his kindness, and met Gu Huaizhou after packing up his things.

Gu Huaizhou didn't say much, and only revealed one sentence: "They are not here, I happen to be going to City H, and I will drop by with you."

When the two arrived in City H by plane, Gu Huaizhou led the way on his own initiative, leading Zhong Yan all the way to a dark alley.

He stopped at the door of one of the houses, turned to look at Zhong Yan: "This is it, do you want me to accompany you in?"

Zhong Yan hesitated for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "No need, just go and do your own thing, I'll go in by myself."

Gu Huaizhou didn't leave, and Zhong Yan also stood at the door for a long time. After several times of psychological construction, she finally mustered up the courage to knock on the door.

There would be a whole new world behind the door, Zhong Yan felt scared at this moment, she wanted to take a step back, but her legs were so limp that she couldn't move at all.

When she was in a dilemma, a kind voice came from behind the door: "Who is it?" Then the old iron door opened, and a strange face poked out from behind the door, the old woman asked with a smile: " Girl, who are you looking for?"

Zhong Yan looked stiff, and it took him a long time before he said, "I am Zhong Yan."

The old woman's weather-beaten face was even more vicissitudes at this time, she stared at Zhong Yan with gloomy eyes for a long time, and then waved tremblingly: "You are back... Come in quickly."

Zhong Yan walked in, but couldn't help but look at the furnishings of the house. This is a small flat on the second floor, and there is a small yard attached to it. A corner of the yard is surrounded and planted with onions, garlic and flowers. hastily.

Zhong Yan walked further in, and finally saw clearly the furnishings in the living room on the first floor, probably because there were no children. Although there were few things in the house, they were neatly arranged, but there was a faint old smell. Look, I thought it was in the last century.

The old man went to fetch two small bamboo stools and asked Zhong Yan and Gu Huaizhou to sit in the yard.

Zhong Yan's eyes followed her closely all the time, when she was about to get up and go to work, Zhong Yan finally held her hand: "You don't need to be busy, this is fine now."

The old woman glanced at them anxiously, but when she sat down again, her expression was still anxious.

Zhong Yan wasn't interested in anything else, she just asked, "Are you my mother?"

The woman who was asked by Zhong Yan lowered her head, and after a long while, she answered in a low voice: "Well, I am."

Zhong Yan's eyes were dull, and he asked again: "What about Dad?"

"He went out to buy groceries, wait for me to call him and ask him to buy more, and stay for dinner later."

Zhong Yan didn't refuse, she lowered her head to think about the matter, and finally, thousands of words became one sentence: "Then how did I become Zhong Yan when I was a child, obviously you are still alive."

As soon as the old woman grabbed her, tears rolled down from her cloudy eyes: "Son, it's not that we don't want you! It's that you were taken away just after you were born! Wait until we lose everything and find you When I was young, I found out that you were living well in Zhong's family. We were too poor at that time, and we didn't know if we could support you, so..."

Zhong Yan was suddenly speechless, whether it was the Zhong family or here, they all had their own reasons, only Zhong Yan was kept in the dark, she had to be considerate of them, but who would be considerate of her?
The three sat silently, the door was opened after a while, and an old man came out from behind the door. He saw Zhong Yan's red eyes, and he knew who she was.

Zhong Yan scanned him up and down, and began to look at the bag in his hand, which contained seasonal vegetables and a piece of beef.

She suddenly felt relieved and silently looked away. She knew that they should be living well now.

Then Zhong Yan followed his nominal mother into the house to cook. Her mother seemed to be a quick-witted person. She had already put the side dishes into the pot and stir-fried them in two or three strokes, but the aroma wafted out after a while. .

Zhong Yan watched quietly from the side, and said for no reason: "Actually, until now, I don't know how to cook either."

Mom turned back and smiled at her: "It's okay, you can eat whatever you want, I will make it for you, or I will teach you."

Zhong Yan lowered his head and smiled, and decided to let go of the depression in his heart for the time being, since there was nothing else she could do anyway.

After a not-so-warm meal, Zhong Yan brought up his idea of ​​leaving, and in an instant the two old men looked at her with a hint of fear in their eyes.

But after they looked at each other, their mother said: "Don't worry, we are all in good health now, and we have enough money. You have to go to school when you go out, and call us if you have anything."

Zhong Yan smiled, and forced himself to say some polite words, then stood up with Gu Huaizhou to bid farewell.

When walking on the bluestone slab with little sunlight, Zhong Yan smiled and said, "Is my life a mess?"

Gu Huaizhou followed her slowly, and expressed his reflections: "It's okay, I think you are quite calm."

Zhong Yan smiled weakly: "I'm trying my best to make myself look like this, but you can't laugh at me from the bottom of your heart now."

Gu Huaizhou listened to her rambling words, and smiled helplessly: "What are you thinking? How is it possible, but are you going back now, or want to play here for a while."

"Then what about you, what are you going to do now?" Zhong Yan asked without hesitation.

"I still have something to do. If you want to go back, go back first."

Zhong Yan lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said aloud: "I want to stay here for a while, if I'm tired of playing and you haven't left yet, then I'll go first."

Gu Huaizhou didn't express any opinion, the two looked at each other and waved goodbye at the same time.

In fact, Zhong Yan didn't go far. She found a hotel nearby and stayed there. Every day, she went out for a walk, went to the nearby scenic spots, and wandered around the streets and alleys not far away, as if she was experiencing her own life. Same place as ever.

Zhong Yan has almost memorized the nearby landmarks. When she came out of her parents' house, there was a lively vegetable market, and there was a supermarket next to it. If she walked a few steps, she could also see a small clinic.

After staying for a few days, she has gradually gotten used to the leisurely life here.But she had to leave, she was going to start school.

Before leaving, she called Gu Huaizhou, but Gu Huaizhou answered, but his voice was tired, and he replied lazily: "I haven't dealt with it yet, you should go back first."

Zhong Yan said good, and bought the plane ticket by himself.

But in the waiting room of the airport, she unexpectedly saw Gu Huaizhou again, Zhong Yan was surprised, and couldn't help asking: "Why are you here?"

Gu Huaizhou had deep puffiness under his eyelids. It looked like he had been exhausted for several days, but he still cheered up and talked to Zhong Yan: "If you don't go back, it will be too late. School is about to start, isn't it?"

Zhong Yan had no doubts about him, and went back to their city with him.

After school started, Zhong Yan hadn't seen Gu Huaizhou much. Gu Huaizhou was busy with his family's business, and Zhong Yan was also very busy with his own life. The tuition was saved before, but the rent and living expenses But still waiting for her to earn.

Zhong Yan even thought about moving back to the dormitory, but she still had Xueli by her side, no matter how cruel she was, she couldn't give Xueli away.

And it just so happened that the landlord wanted to raise the rent during that time, which made Zhong Yan extremely anxious. Apart from a part-time job as a flower shop, he also found a job as a tutor.

When she was as busy as a spinning top, she didn't even have time to eat. When she got busy, she gradually forgot about Lu Qingcheng's existence, but every day when she lay in bed, she would find it difficult to fall asleep every night.

After this kind of time lasted for almost a month, Zhong Yan finally collapsed. She suddenly fell on the seat next to her while she was in class.

Chen Jun was taken aback by her, hurriedly called other students in the class, and sent Zhong Yan to the school hospital.

Chen Jun also knew something about Zhong Yan. She couldn't contact Zhong's family, so she had no choice but to call Gu Huaizhou over.

When Zhong Yan woke up, Gu Huaizhou was sitting beside her bed reading a book. Zhong Yan almost thought that she was back in high school. After she reacted for a second or two, she asked clearly: "What are you doing?" coming?"

Gu Huaizhou took his eyes away from the book and glanced at her face lightly, "If I don't come again, no one will accompany you for the infusion."

Zhong Yan sat up on his own, and said angrily, "I don't need anyone to accompany me."

Gu Huaizhou reached out to hold her, frowned and said, "Don't be stubborn, I already know everything about you, rest here for a while, and leave after the infusion."

Zhong Yan lowered his head and said dully: "You don't need to worry about it. Sorry, I can't change it. In order to live well, I will continue."

"Then you will come here to lie down next time, right?" Gu Huaizhou's sharp language quickly annoyed Zhong Yan.

Zhong Yan raised his head and stared at him with anger on his face: "Then what do you think I should do?"

Gu Huaizhou glanced at her indifferently, and said, "I can give you as much as you want."

Zhong Yan was very annoyed by his talk, at this time she lowered her head again and refused: "I don't want this kind of free gift."

Gu Huaizhou chuckled, "Who said I gave it away for nothing? Am I that kind of person? What are you thinking?"

Only then did Zhong Yan look up at him suspiciously: "What do you mean? What do you want me to do."

Gu Huaizhou took out his mobile phone to search, and found a contact information: "This is my relative, he asked me to help his children with their homework, but I am really busy recently, if you have time If so, go for me."

Zhong Yan was a little shaken, but he still said hesitantly: "I want you to teach me by name. Is it okay if I go?"

"What's wrong, use your knowledge and thinking to teach children, I think it's the most appropriate."

Zhong Yan's heart was gradually moved, but he said, "I still have other part-time jobs to do, and I don't have that much time..."

Gu Huaizhou glanced at her, and said flatly: "You can choose to quit one of them, and let me make it clear to you first that I won't pay you."

Zhong Yan became anxious when he heard this, and immediately glared at Gu Huaizhou and said, "You told me to work for you for nothing after talking for a long time! I don't have that much free time, so if you want to go, you can go by yourself."

Gu Huaizhou stared at her sharply, and sneered: "Now he suddenly speaks eloquently, and he seems to be in good health. Can you listen to me first?"

Zhong Yan paused for a moment, then clasped his hands again in an attitude of listening attentively.

"I won't pay you a salary, but I can borrow my apartment for free for you to live in temporarily, so it's okay for the head office?"

Zhong Yan wrinkled his nose and asked with a smile, "Can I have a dog?" In her impression, Gu Huaizhou didn't seem to have any small animals around. If she couldn't bring Xueli in, it would be useless.

Gu Huaizhou gave her a meaningful look, and finally nodded: "Yes."

Zhong Yan was already laughing at his fingers, but he thought of something more important, so he said it in a broken way: "Then I want to live with you, this..."

Gu Huaizhou had lost his patience, he looked up at his watch, frowned and said, "I can't live in love, you can do whatever you want."

Zhong Yan compromised, she couldn't find better treatment than this, anyway, it's not like she hasn't been there before, just treat Gu Huaizhou as a dead person...

A few days later, Zhong Yan packed his things neatly into a box, led his puppy, got in the car and came downstairs to Gu Huaizhou's apartment.

Zhong Yan has a place to stay, but apart from Gu Huaizhou, there is another fly in the ointment, that is, it is a bit far from the school, if she wants to go to class, she has to get up early to take the bus.

Gu Huaizhou came down to pick her up in a more humane manner, but just after Zhong Yan appeared in his apartment, Gu Huaizhou gave her the key in his hand: "I'll give you the key, I'm not here much, the things at home You can use whatever you want."

This news couldn't be better for Zhong Yan, she thanked her several times in a row, and finally sent Gu Huaizhou out of the house.

Zhong Yan chose the guest room as a matter of course, and after she had tidied up her things and fed Sydney some food, she lay comfortably on the bed and began to look at the nearby buses.

When she woke up, she saw that it was two o'clock in the night when she checked her mobile phone, but suddenly there was a tinkling sound from outside the bedroom.

Zhong Yan was taken aback for a moment, then walked out holding a long-handled umbrella.

When she opened the door suddenly, Gu Huaizhou, who was eating, looked up at her indifferently, "Why are you crazy if you don't sleep at night?"

Zhong Yan scratched his head in embarrassment: "I fell asleep before, and forgot where this is."

Gu Huaizhou hummed, and pointed casually: "There are noodles over there, if you are hungry, eat a bowl."

Zhong Yan didn't eat lunch, she was really hungry, and when Gu Huaizhou came back, he saw the untouched kitchen and refrigerator, he probably noticed something, so he made an extra bowl for her.

Zhong Yan sat down with gratitude, and shared a pot of noodles with Gu Huaizhou at two o'clock in the morning.
