The little girl took two loaves and left.
Ning Junyan also stood up at this time, and he said to Chen Yuncheng, "I'll go first."
"Are you gone?" Chen Yuncheng was habitually polite, "Sit a while longer, and I'll go get you a glass of water."
Ning Junyan said to him, "No need."
Chen Yuncheng no longer insisted, he came out of the counter, sent Ning Junyan out, and kept watching him get into the car.
The co-pilot's window slid down, and Chen Yuncheng bowed beside the window and said to him, "There will be opportunities to meet often in the future."
This was originally a polite remark, and Chen Yuncheng didn't care when he said it, but Ning Junyan asked him, "Really?"
Chen Yuncheng laughed when he heard the words, "Of course it's true. I think it's fate that we know each other."
Ning Junyan didn't speak, just looked at him.
Chen Yuncheng said, "By the way, do you still remember Zhou Yan?"
Ning Junyan lowered his eyes, seemed to think for a moment, and then said, "I don't remember."
Chen Yuncheng smiled and said, "It's normal that you don't remember. Next time you have a chance to eat together, maybe you will remember it."
Ning Junyan said, "Maybe."
Chen Yuncheng backed away from the car and waved to him, "Walk slowly."
Ning Junyan drove the car forward and quickly merged into the crowded traffic.
Chen Yuncheng was still standing on the side of the road, looking at the direction his car was leaving. After a while, he turned his head to look at the other side of the intersection. He saw that the girl who bought bread just now was still standing at the intersection.
It is winter now. Although there are still a lot of cars on the street at this time, there are already very few pedestrians. The girl stood at the intersection for a while, and when the green light came on, she crossed the road with two or three other people, and then continued to move forward. He walked and disappeared from Chen Yuncheng's sight.
Chen Yuncheng turned around and entered the store. He pulled down the rolling shutter halfway, went back to the counter, turned on the TV that was just turned off, and used the remote control to switch channels aimlessly. His mind was not on the TV show, he always thought of the little girl and Ning Junyan again.
Ten-year-old Ning Junyan is actually quite old. Godfathers usually don't bring back children of that age because they can't control it.
But Chen Yuncheng felt that Ning Junyan might have a problem with his head, because he didn't even know his own name.
"Don't you know what your name is?"
At that time, Chen Yuncheng and Ning Junyan were both squatting under the tree by the roadside, looking at the people passing by. There was a university in front of them. At noon and in the afternoon, many students would come out of the school gate in groups of three or five, and cross the road to the opposite one. Eat at the snack street.
It was noon at this time, when there were many people, but the sun was too hot, and Chen Yuncheng hid under the tree and didn't want to move.
Ning Junyan squatted beside him silently.
Early this morning, the godfather asked Chen Yuncheng to bring Ning Junyan out, and asked Chen Yuncheng to teach him how to work and make money.
"If you don't make money, I can't support you for nothing, right?" Godfather wore a white vest, put one foot on the chair at breakfast, drank a greasy noodle soup, put down the bowl and began to train people , "Old rule, there is no dinner if there is no income today."
Chen Yuncheng nodded and brought Ning Junyan out when he went out.
There was no harvest all morning. They walked all the way to the vicinity of the university. The sun was too fierce at noon, so Chen Yuncheng found a shade of tree to hide under.
Ning Junyan followed him and squatted down beside him.
Chen Yuncheng was lazy, he asked Ning Junyan: "Are you dumb? What's your name?"
After a while, Ning Junyan shook his head.
"Don't you know what your name is?"
Ning Junyan still shook his head.
Chen Yuncheng said, "What's the matter with you?"
Ning Junyan's short hair was messy, still maintaining the appearance that Chen Yuncheng cut him with scissors.
Chen Yuncheng asked him: "Then can you speak? Would you like to learn from me and try it? My name is Chen Yuncheng."
Ning Junyan looked at him.
Chen Yuncheng repeated: "Chen Yuncheng."
Ning Junyan spoke suddenly and said vaguely, "Yanyan..."
Chen Yuncheng was stunned, he said, "What did you say?" Then he was a little happy, "So you are not dumb?"
There was no expression on Ning Junyan's face. He looked forward and said, "My name is Yanyan."
"Which word?" Chen Yuncheng asked after him.
Ning Junyan shook his head.
Chen Yuncheng didn't know why. For a long time, he thought that Ning Junyan's name was Yanyan, but at that time, Ning Junyan himself couldn't explain it clearly.
"Yanyan?" Looking at it from the side, Ning Junyan's eyelashes are very long, drooping slightly, and under the upturned nose are light-colored lips. The ten-year-old boy still has some androgynous childishness. But Chen Yuncheng felt that he was already very good-looking. Chen Yuncheng tried to remind him more, "Do you still remember your family?"
Ning Junyan's eyelashes trembled, but he didn't answer the question.
Chen Yuncheng glanced at the pedestrians passing by on the street, leaned close to Ning Junyan's ear, and whispered, "If you can find out how to go home, go back by yourself."
Ning Junyan turned to look at him.
Chen Yuncheng looked at him, "I won't tell my godparents."
After a long delay, Ning Jun said, "I don't know, I have a headache."
Chen Yuncheng made a soft "ah", remembering the injury on Ning Junyan's head, he stood up, touched the swollen part of Ning Junyan's scalp with his fingers, and asked, "Does it hurt here?"
Ning Junyan shrank his neck obviously, but didn't cry out in pain.
Chen Yuncheng retracted his hands, wiped the sweat from his hands on his trousers, squatted back, and said, "So you're not a fool, did you break your head?"
Ning Junyan could not answer this question.
Chen Yuncheng held his face in his hands and sighed, he felt that he couldn't help Ning Junyan.
After a while, Chen Yuncheng heard Ning Junyan's stomach growl, he turned his head and asked him, "Are you hungry?"
Ning Junyan did not respond.
Chen Yuncheng stood up and said to Ning Junyan, "Wait for me here." He walked towards the intersection in front of him, his small figure squeezed into the crowd waiting to cross the street.
In front of Chen Yuncheng, a girl with an umbrella put her mobile phone in her jacket pocket, and he could easily take it out as long as he stretched out his hand; in front of him, a middle-aged man seemed to have money in his pocket. What a denomination, anyway, the entire pocket is bulging.
At the moment when the red light turned green, the crowd looked chaotic and walked forward. Instead of stealing the phone, Chen Yuncheng touched the middle-aged man's pocket. The direction took a few steps to retreat to the periphery of the crowd, and then mixed in with the crowd coming from the opposite side and walked back.
He noticed that someone was looking at him, and the person behind him should have noticed that he stole money, but no one reminded the middle-aged man.
Chen Yuncheng quickly walked back to Ning Junyan, pulled him up from the ground, and said, "Go."
The two of them hid by the wall far away from the intersection. Chen Yuncheng took out the money and saw a handful of loose change in his hand, only about twenty yuan after counting.
Chen Yuncheng said to Ning Junyan, "Go eat first."
Ning Junyan stared at the money in his hand, "Yeah" counted as an answer.
