Li Zheng frowned, he didn't appreciate this style of dressing very much.
Seeing Li Zheng's frowning and serious expression, Xu Wenqian subconsciously threw away the cigarette in her hand, and at the same time stepped on the cigarette butt with her foot. For some unknown reason, being watched by this 16- or 17-year-old boy, she felt like she was caught by the teacher for doing bad things in school.
"Does Zhong Peng live here?" Li Zheng glanced at the key in the woman's hand and asked politely.
Xu Wenqian was stunned for a moment, "Ah? Oh. Are you looking for Teacher Zhong?" She looked at Li Zheng up and down, then took out the key to open the door, "Come with me."
The old anti-theft door made a crunching sound, and the lower part of the anti-theft door had peeled paint, revealing dark brown rust.
It seems that the former professor of Hong Kong University is not very happy.
"Mr. Zhong lives on the fifth floor." Xu Wenqian worked in the night scene, and she had developed a pair of bright eyes. Although this young man is not a common luxury brand in shopping malls, the material and ribbon cutting are definitely not popular.
"Do you have anything to do with Teacher Zhong?" Xu Wenqian asked cautiously.
Li Zheng glanced at her, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "Mr. Zhong? Are you his student?"
Xu Wenqian immediately shook her head, "How can I, do I look like a student like this? My brother makes up lessons with him. Mr. Zhong's teaching skills are good, but he is a little stubborn."
Li Zheng glanced over and saw that the walls in the corridor were mottled and mottled. Many walls had fallen off, revealing the uneven cement surface. The handrails of the stairs were already covered with various small advertisements.
"It's here." Xu Wenqian stopped and knocked on the door.
"Mr. Zhong, are you there?" Xu Wenqian shouted at the door.
There were heavy footsteps in the door, and then with a "click", the door was opened, and a middle-aged man in his forties appeared in front of the two of them.
The man was wearing a half-new black coat, his hair was mostly gray, and his eyes were rimmed with gold threads on his nose. Seeing Li Zheng beside Xu Wenqian, doubts flashed in his eyes.
"Mr. Zhong, this little brother is looking for you." Xu Wenqian seemed to respect Zhong Peng very much, and she spoke with some restraint.
Zhong Peng's eyes fell on Li Zheng, and the two looked at each other quietly for a while.
Suddenly, Li Zheng smiled.
"I'm sorry, maybe I got it wrong." After speaking, he smiled at Xu Wenqian who was confused, and then simply turned and left.
Zhong Peng stood there silently, his hand tightly gripping the door handle, his thumb was caught by the spring of the door lock, but he didn't realize it.
"Mr. Zhong!" Xu Wenqian couldn't help screaming when she saw the bloodshot oozing out of Zhong Peng's hand.
Li Zheng's footsteps paused, but he still did not look back.
Zhong Peng stared closely at Li Zheng's back. He opened his mouth to say something, but he never made a sound. It wasn't until Li Zheng's figure was about to disappear at the entrance of the stairs that Zhong Peng suddenly rushed out of the house and stood in the corridor and said loudly, "Mr. Li Zheng is looking for me for anything?"
Xu Wenqian widened her eyes in surprise. She looked at Zhong Peng and then at Li Zheng.
gentlemen? She and Zhong Peng have been neighbors for so many years, but rarely hear the word "Mr." from Zhong Peng's mouth.
She could vaguely guess that Mr. Zhong used to be a great person, because whenever Chinese New Year, several well-dressed people would always come to visit him. She noticed that those people respected Mr. Zhong's attitude. .
The young man in front of him is the same age as her younger brother, why can Teacher Zhong call him Mr.
Li Zheng turned around slowly, "My laboratory still lacks a few people. I wanted to ask Professor Zhong if he was interested, but now it seems that Professor Zhong is not suitable for this position."
As soon as the door opened, Li Zheng smelled a strong smell of wine. He saw through the crack of the door that on the floor of the living room in the house, seven or eight wine bottles were scattered around.
Li Zheng heard that Xu Mingsheng had heard about Zhong Peng's experience, and he was very sympathetic to him, but a person addicted to alcohol is definitely not a good scholar. So Li Zheng turned and left without turning his head.
Zhong Peng froze in place, panting heavily, as if a flame was about to burst out of his long-silent heart.
"Mr. Zhong..." Xu Wenqian said cautiously.
Zhong Peng turned his head to look at her.
Xu Wenqian was startled, she... had never seen such a look in Teacher Zhong's eyes.
As Li Zheng walked down the stairs step by step, the look in Zhong Peng's eyes became weaker and lighter. He wanted to step forward countless times, but at this time his feet seemed to be filled with lead, which was extraordinarily heavy.
Xu Wenqian looked at Zhong Peng, then at the entrance of the stairs, gritted her teeth, and quickly chased in the direction Li Zheng left.
"Mr. Li Zheng!" She had a feeling that if the young gentleman left like this, she might never see this kind of look in Teacher Zhong's eyes in her life.
It's just that as soon as she ran out of the gate, she saw the blood-stained brother stumbling towards him.
"A Jian!" The blood on Xu Wenqian's face faded all of a sudden, she ran forward and wiped the blood on her brother's face with her sleeve.
"A Jian, what happened? Aren't you supposed to be in class?"
Xu Wenjian shook his head, he dragged Xu Wenqian inside, "Sister, go home first."
At this time, a group of people who looked like gangsters also chased up, and they surrounded the sister and brother, "Yo, stealing money and stealing it on our brother's head, the courage is really fat."
Xu Wenqian protected her younger brother behind her, like a lioness being guarded, staring fiercely at everyone.
When Xu Wenjian ran past him with blood on his face just now, Li Zheng stopped unconsciously. He thought he was a good comrade who talked about five beautiful things, and he didn't mind taking the lead if necessary.
Seeing Xu Wenqian protecting that Xu Wenjian, Li Zheng's heart was slightly touched, he seemed to return to the day he was just reborn, and Zhou Sitian also protected him like this. She is obviously a weak girl, but she has to look fierce and protect the most important person behind her.
Li Zheng secretly reflected on his own bad habit of judging people by appearance, and then walked to the small shop next to the street and made a phone call.
"This money is obviously extorted from you! I... I just..." Xu Wenjian's voice trembled slightly.
Xu Wenqian's heart was half cold when she heard it. She smiled and said to the gangsters: "I'm sorry, brothers, how much, I'll return the money to you right away."
"Why pay it back! Sister, I don't want to study anymore, I don't want your money!" Xu Wenjian suddenly became agitated, he tightly clutched the blood-stained money in his pocket and refused to let go.
"Pop" Xu Wenqian slapped her brother in the face, she turned her head and smiled at the gangsters again, and then took out a stack of money from her bag and wanted to pass it.
Xu Wenjian's eyes suddenly turned red, he suddenly snatched the money from Xu Wenqian's hand, and then quickly ran towards Li Zheng.
"Damn it!" The gangsters were so angry that they dropped the cigarettes in their hands and quickly chased after them.
At this time, the sound of the siren came from far away from the street, and the little gangsters paused, and they looked at each other.
"Boy, don't stop here if you have the ability, or if you swallow us, we will make you spit it out!" After that, trot scattered.
Seeing the gangsters leave, Xu Wenjian showed a happy smile on his blood-stained face, but his smile didn't last long before he ushered in his sister's anger.
Xu Wenqian raised her hand high, but seeing the wound on her brother's forehead, it fell weakly again. She took out a handkerchief and tightly pressed the opening on Xu Wenjian's forehead.
"If you don't have money, tell your sister why you steal those people." Xu Wenqian spoke Cantonese with a unique accent of Haidong Province.
"Your sister is right, even if the money was extorted by those people, it's still wrong for you to steal it." Li Zheng stood behind the pair of siblings at some point.
He was a little complicated in his heart, if... He meant if, if the original Li Zheng was still alive and he hadn't woken up from this body, maybe he and Zhou Sitian were another pair of Xu's siblings.
"What do you know!" Xu Wenjian shouted at Li Zheng, then looked at Xu Wenqian with a crying voice, "Sister, I don't want you to make this kind of money any more! I don't want to go to school anymore, I don't want to go to school anymore."
Xu Wenqian's eyes were red and she was speechless.
Seeing how the siblings were hugging each other and crying, Li Zheng pursed his lips tightly.
Zhong Peng finally walked down. He didn't report any hope, so when he saw Li Zheng standing downstairs, his face showed excitement for a while. But he quickly saw the current appearance of Xu's sister and brother, and he didn't care to talk to Li Zheng, so Zhong Peng walked over with a sullen face.
Li Zheng hesitated for a moment, said a few words to the police who came, and left silently.
"Mr. Zhong, Mr. Li Zheng is gone." Xu Wenqian was the first to notice Li Zheng's departure, with an anxious look on her face.
Zhong Peng heard the words and smiled freely, "It's okay, he's gone, I'll go find him tomorrow!"
This is the first time Xu Wenqian has seen such a confident and free smile on Zhong Peng's face.
"Sister, I'm done. Do I have the honor to have a meal with your big star?" Li Zheng, who returned to Qingyuan, couldn't help calling Zhou Sitian.
Zhou Sitian on the other side of the phone seemed a little flustered, "Xiao Zheng, you... Did you know?"
Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, "What do you know?" His first reaction was Shao Qihua's old fox's face, and Li Zheng's eyes narrowed, "Sister, you are still young, and your career is the most important thing."
I thought Li Zheng knew about the existence of Zhou Sitian of Zhao Qiuhua...
"Sister, thank you." Li Zheng said suddenly.
Zhou Sitian's heart was warmed, and the grievances and hesitations of the day disappeared all at once, her eyes were slightly astringent, "What are you talking about, you work day and night every day, you should rest well, and Zheng Lingling told me You eat instant noodles every day, and you don't eat the meal that aunt prepared for you..."
Zhou Sitian talked for a long time, and the strangeness that the two siblings had not seen for a long time slowly disappeared with the chatter on the other end of the phone.
That's fine.
