Zhang Yazhi was watching TV, and when she heard Chen Shiming's tone as soon as he came home, he said directly, "Is there anything you can't say in front of me?"
Chen Qizhao ignored Chen Shiming and continued the topic just now: "Uncle Zhang told me that you didn't eat, this is your own body, can you think more about yourself?"
"I gained a little weight in the past two days. The things that old Zhang added are too nutritious. You don't understand that we can't eat too much nutritious food at our age. If you eat too much, your body will gain weight." Zhang Yazhi's weight has been unstable recently. The dress she was wearing almost didn't fit, "I will eat when my mother's weight is under control."
She was eager to change the subject, and looked at Chen Shiming again: "What are you looking for with your brother?"
Chen Shiming handed the briefcase to Uncle Zhang, and when he saw Chen Qizhao talking to Zhang Yazhi, he simply sat down next to him, keeping his eyes on Chen Qizhao, "I received news that your youngest son is going to the suburban car park for racing."
Chen Qizhao was a little impetuous because of Zhang Yazhi's affairs. Hearing Chen Shiming's words, he raised his head in surprise: "Did you see me racing?"
Zhang Yazhi said: "What is this, talk about it."
Chen Shiming suppressed his voice and said, "I didn't see it, but is it true that you took a group of people to the parking lot?"
He called to the depot to ask, and Chen Qizhao didn't go there alone, but also brought his group of friends. Hearing Chen Qizhao's indifferent tone, he almost laughed angrily: "I thought you were sensible recently."
Chen Qizhao explained: "I was a test drive."
"Test the car, and then what?" Chen Shiming looked at Chen Qizhao: "The cars in the yard have been modified. Have you ever thought that if you make a mistake, the speed of the car will kill you."
Chen Qizhao stared at Chen Shiming, as if he had returned to a day many years ago, "Then what speed do you think calculates human life?"
The weather was fine that day, he was sitting in the classroom listening to the boring theory class, until Zhang Yazhi's call came in, his voice was full of anxiety and worry, and he told him that Chen Shiming had had a car accident with a crying voice. That was the beginning of all the tragedies of the Chen family. It came from the temporary acceleration of an important meeting, and collided with a large truck on a detour.
The driver died on the spot, and Chen Shiming was disabled for half his life.
From a proud son to a sick dog who died in depression.
"80? 100? 120?" Chen Qizhao stared at Chen Shiming's eyes, his tone was fast and cold: "You keep saying that driving too fast will cause accidents, and you have a mouth that only knows how to teach others a lesson, and what you haven't even done yourself. Have the courage to ask others?"
Chen Shiming was stunned when he heard the words, and quickly reacted: "Chen Qizhao, what nonsense are you talking about."
Zhang Yazhi had never seen Chen Qizhao like this, and murmured, "Xiao Zhao?"
Chen Qizhao said impulsive words, but his heart still couldn't calm down.
Bullshit? Yes, he is indeed talking nonsense, but where did Chen Shiming teach him
Back then, he had deliberately watched the surveillance, even if it was a green light, even if the truck violated the regulations, but the speed of the car in the surveillance was still exceeding the speed of the road regulations.
There was silence in the living room. Chen Qizhao rarely lost his temper during this period of time, and he maintained a rare friendly state with Chen Shiming. Even Zhang Yazhi felt that the two brothers had released their previous suspicions and supported them to move forward. The outbreak came so suddenly that everyone didn't react at once.
Chen Qizhao retracted his gaze, took out his mobile phone to divert his attention, and tapped various apps to enter and exit.
Various images quickly flashed through his cranky mind, some from a previous life, some from this life, but more of them were the pale and plain hospital and the three side-by-side monuments in the suburban cemetery. He forced himself to calm down, he didn't want to bring his bad temper to his current family, and he didn't want the two people in front of him to be mad at him again.
In the time difference between ghosts and gods, he clicked on the address book of his mobile phone and entered the contact person Shen Yuhuai.
When he was about to call out, he finally calmed down.
After a long silence, Chen Shiming realized his tone and slowed down: "Chen Qizhao, let's talk."
At this time, a sudden ringtone appeared in the living room.
Chen Qizhao came back to his senses and saw the words 'Shen Yuhuai' beating on the screen of the mobile phone. His irritable fingers stopped, almost unconscious, and he opened the green answer button.
The screen instantly jumped to the call reminder of 00:01.
At 00:05, Chen Qizhao took the phone to his ear.
"Hello." Chen Qizhao said.
The voice opposite the handset of the mobile phone was wrapped in the whirring of the wind, and after a while, the wind stopped.
Shen Yuhuai's voice came from the other side, "Hello, can you hear me?"
Chen Qizhao: "I can hear it."
"Excuse me, I'm Shen Yuhuai." Shen Yuhuai entered the topic very directly, "I want to ask if Yan Kailin is with you now? I called him an hour ago and didn't reply. I just received a call to remind him to turn off the phone."
"He..." Chen Qizhao frowned: "He wasn't there, but he went back to school in the afternoon."
After parting at the parking lot in the afternoon, Yan Kailin said that he was going back to school, and it seemed that he took a taxi back.
Shen Yuhuai said, "I've been to school, but he's not there."
"I separated from him in the afternoon on Qinghe Road on the outskirts of the city."
Chen Qizhao: "Has he returned to the city?"
"The apartment was not found." Shen Yuhuai seemed to be in the car, "Where are you now?"
Chen Qizhao glanced at Chen Shiming, "At home."
Shen Yuhuai asked again: "Do you have time now? I happen to be near your house, and I'm not quite sure which direction Qinghe Road is going."
"Yes." Chen Qizhao responded, he got up from the sofa, grabbed the jacket next to him, and was about to go out.
The other two people in the living room felt inexplicable when they saw this situation. Chen Shiming asked bluntly, "Where are you going? Are you not eating?"
Chen Qizhao hung up the phone: "You guys eat, I have something to go out for."
Chen Shiming smelled the smell of alcohol on his coat and couldn't help frowning: "How much alcohol did you drink in the afternoon?"
"Three beers."
Chen Qizhao looked at Chen Shiming, "But I'm sorry to disappoint you, I haven't touched the car after drinking."
After speaking, he left the living room.
When Chen Qizhao went out, he also met Chen Jianhong who had just returned home. He just said hello and quickly passed him by.
Chen Jianhong entered the house, saw the two people in the living room, and asked suspiciously, "Where is he going?"
The two did not speak, and Chen Jianhong asked Uncle Zhang to find out what was going on.
Zhang Yazhi looked at Chen Shiming: "Can't you control your tone just now? As soon as you enter the door, you ask the teacher to ask for guilt. It's like this every time, can't the two brothers talk properly?"
Chen Shiming's tone also slowed down and said, "Can the modified car be touched? Take the driver's license test before touching it."
"Old Zhang, go to the kitchen to make arrangements." Chen Jianhong said: "Shi Ming, call your brother back, you should apologize and let him come back for dinner."
It was very quiet outside the villa, and there were no people on the quiet path, not even vehicles passing by.
Chen Qizhao walked to the place where Shen Yuhuai sent him over to get off the bus last time. The inexplicable irritability in his heart had dissipated. He picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to Zhang Yazhi, asking her to remember to take the herbal meal at night.
The phone rang, and it was Chen Shiming's call.
Chen Qizhao didn't want to have another unnecessary quarrel with Chen Shiming, hung up Chen Shiming's phone, and stood on the side of the road alone.
He raised his sleeves slightly and smelled the smell of his sleeves: "Dog nose? How did you smell it?"
After a while, he took off the jacket he just put on randomly, letting the evening breeze dissipate the alcohol.
When Shen Yuhuai arrived at the place, he saw a boy standing on the side of the road from a distance.
Alone and quiet.
Inexplicably, Shen Yuhuai felt that the other party was lonely.
Noticing the sound here, the boy looked in this direction, squinting slightly as if to judge.
Shen Yuhuai lowered the car window, "Wait for a while, get in the car first."
After getting in the car, Shen Yuhuai noticed that Chen Qizhao's hair was a little messy, and he didn't even pull the zipper of his coat.
"I'm sorry to disturb you." Shen Yuhuai skillfully reversed the car and returned, "Go directly to the suburbs?"
In the afternoon, he received a message from Yan Kaiqi, saying that some of the certificates and luggage that Yan Kailin requested had been sent to the apartment. Shen Yuhuai didn't go back to the apartment during this period of time. He wanted to call to remind Yan Kailin to take it, only to find that he couldn't get in touch.
Chen Qizhao's chaotic thoughts returned to the cage, but he didn't look at Shen Yuhuai. He lowered his head and looked at his mobile phone: "But I think he shouldn't be in the suburbs..."
Suddenly, Shen Yuhuai's hand stretched out, as well as his mobile phone.
"I'm not very familiar with the road to the suburbs. You can help me navigate where to go."
Shen Yuhuai's fingers were a little icy, Chen Qizhao accidentally touched it, and quickly retracted his hand.
He wanted to call Yan Kailin, but when he opened the address book, he noticed that the interface was still on Shen Yuhuai's contact interface.
It's been like this since a long time ago. After becoming friends with Shen Yuhuai, whenever he was troubled, he always wanted to call or send a message to Shen Yuhuai.
Even if the other party does not reply in time, his emotions will always disappear with the sending.
It's weird, maybe he's sick.
Chen Qizhao silently closed the contact interface and called Yan Kailin.
Yan Kailin is an adult, and it is unlikely that he disappears for no reason. Chen Qizhao had to contact the rich second generation who had a good relationship with Yan Kailin based on his impressions, and inquire about Yan Kailin's whereabouts in the afternoon.
The car was very quiet. Chen Qizhao was not as noisy as Yan Kailin. Apart from giving directions and making phone calls, there was no other sound in the car.
When they were about to arrive in the suburbs, an abrupt phone call came in, and the three characters Yan Kailin appeared on the phone screen.
"Yan Kailin's phone." Chen Qizhao answered the phone.
On the other side of the phone, Yan Kailin's voice was very bright: "Brother, are you looking for me? My phone was out of power before, so I turned it on..."
Chen Qizhao: "..."
"Your phone has been out of power for four or five hours before turning it on?"
Perhaps the voice was louder, but Shen Yuhuai, who was driving beside him, looked sideways: "What's wrong?"
Chen Qizhao paused: "No."
The words Yan Kailin said while chatting appeared in his mind.
... The sound seemed to be too loud just now.
Yan Kailin was still saying, "It's none of my business if the phone runs out of power. Who would have known it would run out of power so quickly."
Chen Qizhao glanced at Shen Yuhuai slightly, and found that the other party was driving seriously, and his tone couldn't help slowing down: "Where's yours?"
Yan Kailin: "Now? At school, I happened to meet students from the school on the way, and came back by hitchhiking."
The navigation in the car is still broadcasting the address, and Qinghe Road on the outskirts of the city is getting closer.
Chen Qizhao: "..."
Shen Yuhuai asked, "How is he? Where is he?"
Chen Qizhao held back his words abruptly: "Can't you make a phone call?"
Yan Kailin replied a little aggrievedly: "I can't remember my phone number."
Chen Qizhao gave up talking to Yan Kailin, he said to Shen Yuhuai: "He is already at school."
Shen Yuhuai: "That's fine."
Yan Kailin on the other end of the phone seemed to hear something, "Ah? Who is next to you, Brother Zhao?"
Chen Qizhao said in a normal tone, "Hang up."
Shen Yuhuai: "Sorry, I thought you had an accident and called you out."
Chen Qizhao put the phone in his pocket, since he usually doesn't have such patience, but considering that the other party is Shen Yuhuai, he paused for half a second and said, "It's okay... It's right to find someone if you can't get in touch."
Shen Yuhuai turned back at the intersection and returned to the city. His memory seemed to be very good, and he no longer needed to navigate the road once he walked.
"Go back to the villa area?" Shen Yuhuai asked.
Chen Qizhao didn't come back right away, after the meeting he said, "Can you take me back to school?"
Shen Yuhuai replied, "Okay."
Chen Qizhao looked at the road ahead. He drank some wine in the afternoon, and then went home and had a big quarrel with Chen Shiming. As soon as he relaxed a little, sleepiness slowly came up.
It was not until a sudden grunt appeared that Chen Qizhao suddenly woke up.
Shen Yuhuai smiled: "I was negligent, haven't I eaten yet?"
It was already eight to nine o'clock in the evening, and Chen Qizhao's stomach was empty, not counting the fruit he ate at the parking lot at noon.
"Not yet." Chen Qizhao sat up straight, "It's fine, I'll just go back to school and order a takeout."
It took at least half an hour to go back to the city, but along the way, Chen Qizhao didn't play with his mobile phone, and he didn't even have any extra moves.
Shen Yuhuai said, "I didn't eat either. I'll treat you to dinner."
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the boy sitting in the passenger seat, only to see him pause for two seconds before saying hello in agreement.
The car turned a corner at the next intersection and finally stopped in front of a restaurant.
The two chose a seat by the window. After ordering, Shen Yuhuai seemed to be dealing with the work messages on his mobile phone. After saying sorry to Chen Qizhao, he kept replying to the message, saying professional terms that Chen Qizhao could not understand.
Chen Qizhao looked at the young Shen Yuhuai, and seemed to have seen the scene where the two of them ate together in their previous life.
He didn't have any extra actions, and quietly waited for Shen Yuhuai to finish the matter before asking—
"How does Brother Huai know my mobile number?"
