Chapter 2479 The call made
"The next day, the old lady knocked on the door early in the morning."
"Give the child the spring rolls before he goes to work."
"But......"
The wrinkles on the old lady's face deepened a bit, "Still no one answered the door."
"To this day, the old lady will knock on the door from time to time to see if she can meet the child."
The old lady shook her head.
"I heard some noise downstairs just now. When I came up and saw you, I thought the child was back."
Her slightly worried mind these past few days has relaxed.
result......
But she was disappointed.
...
"strangeness......"
The old lady murmured.
"The child really has to leave for a few days for something. He should have told the old lady when he met him that day."
"At that time, the old lady said she would send him some spring rolls, and he obviously agreed..."
Since he knew that she was going to deliver spring rolls the next day, how could the child leave without saying hello?
That kid is not like that.
That kid has always been polite and considerate.
She had forgotten some things and the child helped her remember them...
...
"The old lady is a little worried."
The old lady held onto the railing of the stairs, her hands covered with age spots tightened a bit.
"Did something happen to the child?"
"Is that why you left in such a hurry?"
It was too late to say something to her?
...
"It's been so many days..."
The old lady couldn't hide the worry on her face.
"The child hasn't come back yet."
"...I don't know how the child is doing?"
"Is everything going well?"
...
The irritability between Xiao Zhu's brows and eyes disappeared.
His face showed a bit of doubt and solemnity.
Another one who said that Azhe was not in the right state...
The florist... and this old lady...
Could it be...
Xiao Zhu began to feel a little worried.
No way......
What can happen?
That kid is not that fragile...
Or is that kid in trouble?
...
"... Nothing will really happen..."
Xiao Zhu whispered unconsciously.
My heart beat faster because of the bad suspicion.
He took a deep breath.
Do not think too much.
He knocked on his head.
He shook his head again.
...
"Old man, don't worry."
Xiao Zhu smiled and comforted the uneasy old lady, "Azhe took annual leave from the company."
"She must be traveling."
"Maybe there's something going on at home, and it's not necessarily possible to go back to my hometown."
Shan Zhe's hometown is not here.
He went to university here and finally stayed in this city to work.
...
"His annual leave ends in a few days."
"He will be back by then."
Xiao Zhu's words made the worry on the old man's face fade a bit.
"That's it..."
Although this still cannot explain Shan Zhe's behavior of almost leaving without saying goodbye.
But I can just ask this question to myself after Shan Zhe comes back.
The old lady finally smiled.
"alright."
"Since he hasn't come back, you are leaving, and so is the old woman."
"goodbye."
"If you see Azhe, tell the kid and let him come and see the old woman."
"The old lady promised to re-wrap the spring rolls for him."
...
"good."
Xiao Zhu nodded, "Old man, please walk slowly."
...
Until the old lady's figure disappeared, the remaining people fell into a brief silence.
...
"......What should we do now?"
Xiao Zhu asked, and the familiar number on the phone was dialed again.
He just casually dropped the hand holding the phone to his side without any hope.
...
The store manager doesn't know either.
He subconsciously turned to look at Xiao Xiao.
There seems to be nothing they can do...
...
The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth turned up slightly.
"us-"
His eyes narrowed.
"Telephone."
...
The inexplicable words made Xiao Zhu and the store manager stunned.
What?
...
"Xiao Zhu, your call is connected."
Xiao Xiao looked at the mobile phone in Xiao Zhu's hand hanging by his side.
The words "Call in progress" appear on the phone screen.
...
What?
Xiao Zhu still didn't react.
The store manager has already hurriedly pointed to the mobile phone in Xiao Zhu's hand.
"Xiao Zhu, phone!"
The store manager spoke very quickly, with a look of anxiety on his face.
"quick!"
"Mr. Shan answered the phone!"
...
ah?!
Xiao Zhu finally reacted.
He raised his cell phone too much.
As a result, the phone fell out of hand.
Just when he opened his eyes and went to save his cell phone in a panic, he found that his cell phone was already firmly grasped by a hand.
...
Xiao Xiao handed the phone to Xiao Zhu.
Xiao Zhu didn't have time to say thank you, so he hurriedly shouted into the phone.
The loud sound seemed to startle the people on the other side.
"Ah, Adong?"
...
"Shan Zhe!"
Xiao Zhu called out his friend's name by first and last name.
There was a mixture of anger and worry on his face.
"You are finally willing to answer the phone?!"
"Look, how many phone calls have I made to you?!"
"How many messages were sent?!"
"You are so awesome, kid!"
"I didn't reply at all!"
...
Xiao Zhu's successive bombings fell, and the scene fell into silence for a moment.
"...Azhe?"
Xiao Zhu made a tentative sound.
"Are you listening?"
"are you still there?"
"Azhe?"
"Shan Zhe!"
...
"Ah, I'm here."
Some panicked boys came.
"sorry."
"I-"
"never mind."
Xiao Zhu interrupted Shan Zhe.
"I'll settle this account later with you."
"Where are you now?"
Xiao Zhu directly asked the question he was most concerned about.
"In which corner is it that the signal is blocked?"
"Can't receive calls or messages?"
...
"......I am here......"
Shan Zhe reported an unfamiliar place name.
"This is where?"
Xiao Zhu frowned.
Is it really a nook and cranny?
He looked at the store manager and Xiao Xiao beside him.
Then he turned on the hands-free function of his cell phone.
...
"It's a small town in the south..."
Shan Zhe explains.
"Send me the address."
Looking at the location sent by his friend, Xiao Zhu frowned, "Are you really going on a trip?"
"...Azhe?"
The other party's long silence puzzled Xiao Zhu.
...
"no."
A low voice like whispering to himself.
"What?"
Xiao Zhu asked.
He didn't hear clearly.
Especially since it's hands-free.
Naturally, the phone is not as close to the ear as before.
...
"Adong..."
"Um?"
"..."
Xiao Zhu's heart was almost aflame with Shan Zhe's pause for a long time.
"explain!"
Xiao Zhu urged.
"When did you speak so rudely?"
...
"..."
Xiao Zhu rolled his eyes.
He took a deep breath.
"When will you come back?"
Okay, if Shan Zhe doesn’t say it, he will.
"Want the last day of annual leave?"
...
“…can you lend me some money?”
"I don't have the money to come back."
Shan Zhe's unnatural voice sounded through the loudspeaker in the stairwell.
Xiao Zhu:......
No money?
After much thought, he really never thought that he would hear such a sentence.
He took a deep breath.
"......good."
"How much do you want?"
...
Xiao Zhu hung up the phone.
