Two days have passed since Ai Liang and Ye Qing recognized each other.
After settling down, Ai Liang sent the location information of his residential address to several old friends in Neihua.
Yue Qihua and Yang Xingyue both said that they would come over to play when they were free.
After the news was sent, the two looked at each other in understanding and silently prepared travel supplies.
Ma Yu and Fang Xiaoxiao are on a family trip and may not have time to come over recently.
Ai Liang feels very comfortable these past two days. During the day, she reads novels and catches up on dramas, and in the evening, she goes to the balcony to chat with Ye Qing.
The days passed leisurely and contentedly, so happily.
Today, like the previous two days, Ai Liang went to the balcony after dinner and listened to Ye Qing chattering about some trivial matters in life.
For example, whose naughty child is making a fuss in the supermarket again; how many kilograms of meat does the old lady who often visits buy; what items are on sale but cannot be sold, and so on.
It was obviously just a trivial matter, but when it came out of Ye Qing's mouth, it was like a storyteller telling a story.
Ai Liang was immersed in it without realizing it.
But tonight was different. The ding-dong-ding-dong doorbell interrupted their chat.
The crisp ding-dong sound echoed in the living room.
This is the electronic doorbell installed by Ai Liang himself.
Ye Qing, who has been friends with Ai Liang for five years, after adapting to Ai Liang's real identity, the last feeling of inconsistency with his face completely disappeared.
"A Liang, your doorbell rang. Could it be the property management?"
Ye Qing pointed back with her thumb.
"I'll take a look."
Ai Liang got up from the recliner and came to the security door of the living room.
He twisted the door handle and gently pushed the security door outward.
"Oh, long time no see..."
boom!
The moment he saw Jin Pingan's stupid face, Ai Liang slammed the door shut and turned off the electronic doorbell display installed in the living room.
Jin Pingan outside the door saw no response when he pressed the doorbell, and while banging on the security door, he explained: "Hey! It's me! Jin Pingan, we met not long ago! We even escaped from the robbers together. You
Have you forgotten?"
Well, it's just because you are outside the door that I close the door.
Ai Liang ignored Jin Pingan's shouting and went straight back to the balcony.
"Eh? Why are you back? People outside haven't left yet?"
Listening to the thumping sound coming from behind, Ye Qing asked curiously.
"Ignore him." Ai Liang lay down on the couch again.
'Could it be that A Liang's parents came to Qianhua City after them?'
Ye Qing's brain instantly imagined a plot of several thousand words.
"Ai Liang, please open the door!"
Jin Pingan shouted towards the crack of the door: "I'm looking for you for something very important! Open the door quickly!"
After shouting for about two minutes, Jin Pingan felt that it would be okay to continue like this (he was mainly worried about being beaten up by other residents), so he started bombarding him with text messages.
Ye Qing glanced at the vibrating cell phone and said, "Well, why don't you go out and take a look."
Ai Liang calmly picked up the phone and deleted and blocked the entire line.
That guy Jin Ping'an exudes the aura of trouble all over his body, and Ai Liang never wants to have anything to do with him.
Last time, just by standing relatively close to him, Chi Yu got into the robber's car.
It's definitely not good to cross paths with him.
But this guy didn't give up. Seeing that Ai Liang didn't reply to messages on his cell phone, he turned around and knocked on Ye Qing's door.
"A Liang."
Ye Qing looked at Ai Liang helplessly.
Ai Liang frowned and walked towards the door with a gloomy expression.
"What's up?"
Ai Liang opened the security door, revealing a small gap.
Seeing that Ai Liang was finally willing to open the door, Jin Pingan quickly stretched out a foot and stuck it on the door frame.
"You are finally willing to open the door. I won't eat you. After all, we were both kidnapped by robbers together. Why are we so different from each other?"
He put his hands on the edge of the door and held on to the security door, fearing that Ai Liang would close the door again.
Can you speak? If you can speak, speak more. Do you have such a good relationship?
The fate of being kidnapped together.
"Did you get my address and mobile phone number from the criminal police team?"
Ai Liang looked at Jin Pingan coldly.
Only then did Ai Liang notice that Jin Pingan's face was covered in bruises and bruises, as if he had been severely beaten.
However, it is normal for a stupid young man with a sense of justice to be beaten severely.
Don't talk about others, just talk about the last bank robbery.
If the person being kidnapped were an ordinary person, if he knew that he was mistakenly kidnapped by the robbers because of Jin Pingan, he would have to beat Jin Pingan's brains out afterwards.
"Yes, actually I was assigned by the Criminal Police Team to come here this time. They asked me to come and see if there was anything missing from the last inquiry."
Jin Ping'an pulled out a smile that was uglier than Chi Xiang: "The criminal police team really can't spare any manpower now, and we are of the same age and are both hostages, so I was sent here."
His smile affected the muscles on his face, and he grimaced in pain.
Ai Liang looked into his eyes and was silent for a while: "If you have any questions, just tell me here."
Seeing that Ai Liang had no intention of rejecting him again, Jin Pingan retracted his feet stuck in the crack of the door and lowered his hands from the security door.
"It's boring to just talk about things. I'm going to treat you. Let's go out to eat and chat."
"I've already had dinner." Ai Liang declined the invitation politely.
"Then let's go make some skewers for a midnight snack."
Jin Ping'an looked at Ai Liang with a complicated expression and said, "If you hadn't woken me up in the dark room, my body would have been cremated by now, just treat me as a treat to repay your kindness."
At the end, he added: "Please."
Ai Liang glanced at him, turned back to the house, put on her sneakers, and then said hello to Ye Qing on her mobile phone.
The two of them walked on the sidewalk one behind the other.
Along the way, Jin Ping'an did not keep talking like he did when the two met for the first time. Instead, he remained silent from beginning to end, not knowing what he was thinking.
The eyes are the windows of the soul.
His eyes had revealed his inner thoughts.
Even if he didn't say it, Ai Liang could guess it.
Because the look in Jin Pingan's eyes now is very similar to his past self. To be precise, it is very similar to the look in his eyes when he first became a hermit.
That's why Ai Liang agreed to his invitation.
Jin Ping'an led Ai Liang to a food stall called 'Menting Ruoshi'.
On midsummer nights, such food stalls are everywhere, and almost every one is packed.
Jin Pingan directly led Ai Liang to a table filled with kebabs.
It was obvious that he came well prepared, with food, drinks and other things already prepared.
"I don't drink." Ai Liang pushed aside the draft beer Jin Pingan received: "If you have anything to do, just tell me directly. You probably didn't come to me for so-called thanks."
Jin Ping'an's hand that was still holding the draft beer trembled. He turned off the valve, picked up a handful of meat skewers, licked it to the end, then raised half a cup of draft beer and drank it in one go.
Boom! The large glass hit the table hard.
Jin Pingan originally wanted to joke with Ai Liang with a smile, but looking at Ai Liang's cold and indifferent face, he couldn't help but think of the person he met today.
He suddenly lost all intention of joking, and all that was left in his heart was anger and unwillingness.
"I know not everyone has good intentions, but..."
Jin Pingan lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly, holding the bamboo stick in his hand. There was a soft clicking sound in his palm, and a trace of blood seeped out from between his fingers.
"If even law enforcement officers are colluding with the guys in the black zone, then is there any justice in the world?"
Jin Pingan raised his head, revealing his bloodshot eyes.
"So you came to me just to talk about this?"
Ai Liang put down the meat skewer he took a bite of: "If you just want to find someone to complain about life, society, and grumble, I'm sorry I can't accompany you."
