Chapter 44
Lu Qinghuai said, "Your phone."
Geng Geng protected the phone on his chest: "Brother, you can't delete WeChat."
Lu Qinghuai frowned: "Who said that your WeChat account will be deleted."
Geng Geng patted his chest: "Oh... that's good."
"By the way, what are you doing with my phone?" Geng Geng handed over the phone.
Lu Qinghuai didn't say anything, found Li Kui's WeChat, clicked on Moments, the latest news: a picture of a birthday cake.
Caption: Happy 20th birthday to myself!
The time was three days ago.
The little wolf cub probably forgot to turn off the positioning, and the lower left corner shows Nancheng-Lingshi.
Lu Qinghuai went to Baidu to search for Li Kui's entry, and found that his birthday was indeed three days ago
It's not that I haven't thought about someone returning to my hometown. Logically speaking, it's normal to go back to my hometown during the summer vacation.
It's hard for Lu Qinghuai not to think about disappearing like this.
Geng Geng also saw Li Kui's circle of friends, didn't know what to say, put his arm around Lu Qinghuai's shoulder comfortingly, and patted Lu Qinghuai a few times.
"Brother, it's okay. A man doesn't flick his tears easily, but he hasn't reached the point where he's sad."
Lu Qinghuai: "..."
He couldn't deny that he felt very uncomfortable now, his nose was still sore, and he still didn't feel very good, but no matter how he listened to Geng Geng's comforting words, he wanted to beat him up.
"Geng Geng, help me buy a high-speed rail ticket." Lu Qinghuai said seriously.
Geng Geng was taken aback: "What?"
Lu Qinghuai can't use his mobile phone to buy tickets, the return ticket was booked by Lu Suizhou.
No one knows when he came back from the set, how many more days his grandfather can hide it.
A few minutes later, Lu Qinghuai took his coat and left the court.
Lu Suizhou and the others stared at Lu Qinghuai's back, looked at Lu Qinghuai for a few seconds, and asked Geng Geng: "What's going on?"
Geng Geng said, "Brother went to find Li Xiaokui."
Yu Nanfeng was confused: "Did Xiao Huai get dumped or was he dumped?"
Geng Geng glanced at him: "No."
Yu Nanfeng said: "Then what were you two talking about just now? Xiao Huai ran away suddenly."
Geng Geng just wanted to have a big talk, but he swallowed the words in his throat. His brother said, Brother Nanfeng has a big mouth, he can talk to Lu Suizhou, he can talk to Lu Ming, but he must not talk to Brother Nanfeng.
Geng Geng held back the words: "No."
Yu Nanfeng touched Geng Geng's head: "Geng Geng is good, tell Brother Nanfeng."
With a gossip look on his face, Geng Geng could have predicted that after he told Brother Huai to find Li Kui, Yu Nanfeng would be very reluctant.
Geng Geng fiddled with the broken hair on his forehead, raised his head, and said a word: "No."
Yu Nanfeng: "?"
Li Kui's hometown is Dagang Village in Lingshi, which is a county under the jurisdiction of Nancheng. Dagang Village is to the south of it, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only one river connects to the outside world. Every household here relies on farming for a living. , It is also the river that feeds them.
Lu Qinghuai booked the ticket very quickly, but he still couldn't get a direct one, so he could only go to the city in front of Lingshi first, and then transfer from the expressway.
Rent a car, pay your bills, hit the highway.
Lu Qinghuai did not delay.
Walking all the way to Lingshi, the scenery is passing by in front of you. After getting off the expressway, go to the left to the county seat, and to the right is Dagang Town.
Lu Qinghuai's car slowly drove into the toll booth. There was no etc channel in this toll booth, only cash.
He searched all over his body and couldn't find a piece of cash.
After seven o'clock in the evening, the toll booth was deserted, and there were no other passing vehicles. Even if he wanted to find someone to exchange cash, he couldn't do anything.
Lu Qinghuai looked at the toll booth and could only see the top of his head.
Little by little.
Li Kui was about to fall asleep when he heard a familiar male voice: "Hi, I don't have any cash with me, can I exchange it with you? I'll send you WeChat or Alipay."
Li Kui was shocked and came to his senses.
Sit up straight and look out the window.
The male voice that asked him came from Lu Qinghuai, and the familiar face that he saw now also belonged to Lu Qinghuai.
Just not sure if it was a dream or a hallucination.
The man leaned against the half-opened car window with one hand, and the screen of the mobile phone he was holding was the page for scanning the code to pay.
The moment Lu Qinghuai saw Li Kui, he was angry for a second, wanting to curse and question him.
In the end, nothing was said.
Just looked at him so quietly, waiting for the other party's reaction.
Li Kui first pinched the back of his hand which was placed on the table, it hurt.
He glanced at the car, then at Lu Qinghuai's face, and finally returned his gaze to his desktop.
Li Kui adjusted his mood, took Lu Qinghuai's card, and went through the pass procedures.
"What are you doing here?" Lu Qinghuai rolled down all the car windows and asked coldly.
Li Kui suppressed his heartbeat that accelerated due to Lu Qinghuai's appearance, quickly glanced at his expression, and then lowered his head to write the fee list.
Lu Qinghuai who was under the window clasped his hands impatiently and knocked on his window.
"part time."
After finishing speaking, Li Kui lowered his head, pretended to be busy, and touched and picked up things on the desk. Originally, he operated the program smoothly, but because his eyesight was restrained and his mind was flustered, he almost made a mistake.
The people in the car seemed to be still looking at him, and felt that the idea was absurd, so he glanced down quietly, then looked away.
Li Kui wanted to ignore it, but Lu Qinghuai's eyes kept following him, he felt uncomfortable, and the movements of his men unconsciously accelerated.
After finishing the list, Li Kui handed it to him with both hands.
Lu Qinghuai pinched a corner of the toll bill, exerted force on his fingers, and just stared at him.
What were you thinking on the way?
How is Li Kui?Did you pay attention to his news, why didn't you contact him, why didn't you delete friends but blocked Moments?
Why didn't you tell yourself when you went back to your hometown suddenly? Are you angry?If yes, what are you angry about?
During those days when he was on the set, he was thinking about him every night, so did he think about himself?
Haven't thought of sending him a message for his birthday?
Is he really so dispensable in Li Kui's heart?
Lu Qinghuai had complicated thoughts, for a long time, took a deep breath, threw the list in front of the driver's seat, and drove away.
The heavy sound of the engine pulled someone back who was bewildered.
At around ten o'clock in the evening, when the shift changer arrived, Li Kui walked out of the window of the toll booth and bumped into Lu Qinghuai head-on.
He looked up and froze in place.
Lu Qinghuai was unhappy: "Come here."
If you don't want to see him so much, you won't leave when you see yourself!
Li Kui moved over slowly: "I'm off work."
Lu Qinghuai realized that he didn't have anything to explain about the loss of contact, and his complexion became a little more stinky, and he said stiffly: "I know."
He brought a small box in front of him, and said without thinking, "Here's for you."
Li Kui opened it, glanced at the contents, and immediately understood what it meant.
"It's past my birthday."
Lu Qinghuai said: "For supper."
Li Kui said again: "It's easy to suffer from indigestion if you eat late at night."
After hearing this, Lu Qinghuai was unhappy: "I'll take it for you, if you can't eat it tonight, keep it for tomorrow, take it home and put it in the refrigerator."
Li Kui nodded obediently: "Oh."
With an indifferent expression on his face, Lu Qinghuai walked to the door of the car: "Get in the car, I'll take you back."
There were already few vehicles at the toll station in Ling City. It was still night, and the bus had stopped long ago, and Didi couldn’t be called, except for some tricycle drivers in the town to solicit customers.
However, the later the time, the more expensive these drivers charge, and it took him more than half an hour to walk from home.
It's not worthwhile to spend dozens of dollars to take a car.
After Li Kui got into the car, he had just fastened his seat belt when a colleague who was changing shift came out to go to the toilet.
Noticing the strange expression of his colleague, he explained with some guilt: "This is my friend, he came here to see me."
Colleague: "Oh..." After a pause, he added: "I said, I heard from the old horse in the cafeteria that a black car has been driving around here since seven o'clock in the afternoon. It turned out to be your friend."
Lu Qinghuai: "..."
Li Kui: "..."
As if someone had punctured some unspeakable secret, Lu Qinghuai ignored that colleague, rolled up the car window, stepped on the accelerator and left.
The car was running smoothly, and there was a hint of cake sweetness in the car.
Li Kui didn't sleep well recently, leaned on the seat and closed his eyes to rest his mind, and fell asleep after a while.
The whole process was smooth, and the car finally stopped in front of a red gate.
The sleeping person didn't realize that he was home, and kept his eyes closed, and Lu Qinghuai didn't remind him, just looked at him quietly.
The person is thinner, but still delicate and white, with a little curly hair drooping casually on the forehead, the lips under the straight bridge of the nose are pursed, and he is fast asleep.
The little wolf cub was just lying on his side so obediently, looking gentle and unscrupulous, he never thought that he would be a person who disappeared without saying a word.
Li Pingan was playing with his mobile phone on the second floor, and saw a black car parked outside his gate from a long distance away.
Someone knocked on the car window a few times. Li Kui looked over sleepily and found that he had already arrived home.
Outside, my sister looked curiously at the inside of the car.
"woke up?"
"Hmm." Li Kui spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Part-time job is tiring?" Lu Qinghuai frowned: "You are still a student now, there is no need to make yourself so tired, take a good rest during the summer vacation."
"Fortunately, I don't have to go every day. I only go for odd numbers. I work and rest for twelve hours."
Li Kui opened the door and got off the car, leading Lu Qinghuai in.
Concerned about the elders in the family, he just stopped at the door and did not go forward.
"You're the only one at home?" Li Kui was dragged into the house by Li Pingan, and he didn't notice that someone didn't follow. After being dragged into the house, he asked.
Li Pingan asked instead: "Brother, why did you bring your wild man back?"
"Li Ping'an." Li Kui frowned and shouted sharply.
Li Pingan stuck out his tongue when he saw his brother's complexion. "Dad went to the hospital for reexamination. The doctor said he would rest for one night, so he won't be coming back. Mom took the sleeping and washing things and stayed with him in the hospital."
Outside the door, Lu Qinghuai stood beside the car, silently looking at the surrounding environment.
After the construction of the new countryside, the bungalows in the countryside have also been remodeled to be particularly beautiful, and every road in Dagang Town is also a cement road.
Li Kui's house is a three-story bungalow. He can see the facilities in the yard from the door. There is a small path from the door. There are also things planted on both sides. One side is a grape trellis, and the other side is planted with green onion and coriander.
Li Kui found no one behind him, so he ran to Lu Qinghuai in a daze.
After explaining the reason clearly, he brought the man into the house.
After entering the house, Lu Qinghuai looked around. The decoration is very simple, the windows are bright and clean, and the furniture is mostly Chinese mahogany.
He also saw the corgi on Li Kui's head portrait.
