Chapter 22
Facts have proved that Wang Qinchuan and Qi Yuzhou didn't listen to his words at all. The two hit it off immediately and urged Yuan Rong to call his brother.
Yuan Rong struggled for a while, and finally dialed Yuan Qingzhuo's phone number dilly-dally under Qi Yuzhou's instigation.
Unexpectedly, the busy sound on the phone went on for a long time, until it automatically hung up and no one answered.
During this period, Yuan Rong kept pacing back and forth at the corner of the stairwell until his patience gradually ran out.He glanced at the two people who were leaning against the wall talking not far away, and continued to click on the call, his brows furrowed slightly.
I don't know how long it took, Yuan Qingzhuo finally answered, and his steady breathing and displeased voice came from the phone: "Hello?"
The environment at that end sounds a bit empty, and there seems to be an echo when you listen carefully, but Yuan Rong didn't think about it that much, Yuan Qingzhuo had never made him wait for such a long time, and he was a little dissatisfied at the moment: "What are you busy with? Don't accept it either?"
"Yuan Rong?"
Hearing his younger brother's voice, Yuan Qingzhuo's tone was obviously serious: "Wait a minute."
Immediately afterwards, there was a whisper from the other end of the phone, and the noisy conversation filled Yuan Rong's ears. He realized that he might have interrupted something midway, so he said embarrassingly: "...So you are busy, so that's not right. Alright, let's hang up the phone first."
"No, let's talk about something now," Yuan Qingzhuo said quietly, "Anyway, I've already disturbed you, and it's not a few minutes away."
"..." Yuan Rong squeezed the phone tightly, but still spoke, "Could you pick me up after school later, and take my friend to a place by the way."
"What time is it?"
"get out of class ends at [-]:[-], and you can arrive at about [-]:[-]. There are four people including me."
Yuan Qingzhuo asked again: "Where are you going?"
"I don't know, it should be in a cemetery outside the suburbs," Yuan Rong tried to explain, "I don't know the exact location, but let Yihe tell you when the time comes."
A sneer came from the phone: "It's him again? Yuan Rong, you don't study those suspicious things with him every day at school, do you?"
"I didn't!" Yuan Rong quickly denied, and subconsciously fought back, "Why are you starting to control me again, didn't you agree to listen to me all this time?"
"What do you mean?" Yuan Qingzhuo said in a deep voice, "I am your brother, so I should take care of you. If Hua Yihe wants to go to that kind of place, let him go by himself. Why do you want to accompany him?"
How should this matter be explained?Hua Yihe really thought so, but Wang Qinchuan and the others were worried.
Yuan Rong wanted to argue with him, but Qi Yuzhou at the door of the stairwell turned around, pointed to his wrist, and then pointed to the announcement bell on the corner of the wall, to the effect that class was about to start.
He glanced at his watch, and finally slowed down and told Yuan Qingzhuo about Hua Yihe's situation: "He can't escape now, so why don't you help him? Don't forget how you promised me at that time , now I have the final say on everything.”
Yuan Qingzhuo gritted his teeth: "Is this the privilege I gave you for you to use?"
"Yes, that's how it works! I won't tell you anymore, class is about to start, and there is less than an hour before school ends, hurry up and pick us up, see you soon!"
Yuan Rong finished speaking quickly, and hung up the phone without giving Yuan Qingying a chance to refute. He proudly turned the phone around and put it back in Qi Yuzhou's palm: "It's done, see you after school!"
Back in the class, Yuan Rong and Hua Yihe roughly talked about the situation. After so many days, he finally saw Hua Yihe showing a sincere smile. It doesn't matter, as long as you can take me to the cemetery, thank you."
Yuan Rong beat a small drum in his heart, and comforted him: "It's okay, it's easy to do. Anyway, my brother stays at school every day and has nothing to do."
He calmed down and turned around, continued to take out the unfinished papers from the previous class and read slowly, and he became focused after a while.
This drizzle was continuous, tick-tocking on the window sill, and the rain began to subside when the sky was covered by dark clouds and the whole school merged into the night.
The get out of class bell finally rang.
Hua Yihe had never felt so tormented. He didn't do anything in this class, but just observed every student in the class dully.
He saw some people lying on the podium next to the multimedia to copy handouts, some stood up holding textbooks to endorse, and Yuan Rong beside him was concentrating on counting and writing on the paper, not paying attention to his gaze at all.
He felt like he didn't belong in the group and was desperate to get out of school, desperate to get to that destination.
Now that the bell finally rang, he saw Yuan Rong randomly folded the paper and put it on the book, and hurriedly packed the schoolbag: "Yihe, get ready and let's go."
Hua Yihe nodded.
They were the first to walk out of the classroom, and Qi Yuzhou moved very quickly. Only Wang Qinchuan was some distance away, but fortunately, they didn't make everyone wait for a long time.
The spiral staircase was crowded with students who were slowly advancing. People chatted while walking. Many people took out their umbrellas and hit them on the top of their heads when they passed by the second floor.On the first floor, a moist cool breeze blows in, mixed with the fresh smell of leaves and soil.
The four boys only brought two umbrellas, and Qi Yuzhou shook off his pink cat cartoon umbrella and said, "My girlfriend's umbrella is a bit small, please don't dislike it."
Holding an umbrella, Hua Yihe followed Yuan Rong in silence. They walked out of the teaching building and moved slowly towards the school gate, only to hear Yuan Rong ask in confusion: "Huh? I clearly have an appointment with Yuan Qing. Well let him drive into the school, logically speaking, it should be on the flag raising square."
"Don't worry, it will be hard to find so many people," Wang Qinchuan responded with a loud voice, "Damn it, Qi Yuzhou, will you open an umbrella, the rain is all falling on my shoulders."
"Can you blame me? It's obviously a problem with the umbrella."
They continued to walk along the crowd, with Yuan Rong leading the charge, looking around for his car.
"Yuan Rong, what's your license plate number?"
"I do not know either."
"You don't even know your license plate number? Really."
"Yuan Qingzhuo just bought it, how can I remember it?"
Among the traffic and the crowd, Hua Yihe looked through the double flashing lights in the rainy night, and saw a young man standing beside an SUV car.
Wearing a black suit, he stood tall and straight in the rain, holding a huge umbrella in his hand. Through the hazy fog, people couldn't see the darkness in his eyes clearly.
The young man's gaze accurately caught the young man in front of Hua Yihe, watched his anxious posture for a while as if watching a play, and finally called out unhurriedly after a long while: "Yuan Rong."
It is the original cleaning.
Several teenagers followed the voice, and saw Yuan Qingzhuo walking forward holding an umbrella, pulled Yuan Rong under the umbrella condescendingly, and whispered in a voice that the other three could not hear: "Idiot, I am The only one in the whole school who picks up people with dual flashes, can't you see this?"
I don't know if there is some important event, but he is wearing a business suit today, and the dark blue tie with a check pattern is tied meticulously. The high-end custom-made slim-fitting fabric outlines a thin waist and straight and slender legs, even in the dark clouds Even the nights covered by the moon are equally dazzling.
This was the first time Yuan Rong saw Yuan Qingzhuo dressed like this. He forgot to talk back for a while, and his eyes fell on the other party's handsome and profound facial features: "You, what's wrong with you, why are you dressed like this?"
"What is this like?" Yuan Qingzhuo smiled, "Am I very different from usual?"
The sound of the rain was very noisy, and Yuan Rong could still hear a little pride in his tone, but there was no way, who made Yuan Qingzhuo really have the capital to be proud.
He wanted to say a few words, but as soon as he saw the perfect face of the other party, he was at a loss for words, damn it.
"The office has business to discuss today, so I'll be on top temporarily," Yuan Qingying explained to him, and then opened the co-pilot's door, "It's raining too much, you get in the car first."
The other three teenagers also followed, and Qi Yuzhou took the lead to say hello: "Brother Zhuo, it's been a long time."
Yuan Qingzhuo smiled slightly and said softly, "Long time no see, let's talk in the car."
"Thank you, brother Zhuo, for giving us a ride!" Qi Yuzhou was all-round and exquisite, he opened the rear door familiarly and pushed Wang Qinchuan and Hua Yihe in, and then sat in the back seat and closed the door himself.
The driver's door was opened, and the inside of the car was suddenly illuminated by warm yellow lights. Yuan Qingzhuo sat up and asked, "Address?"
Everyone looked at Hua Yihe in the middle of the back seat, his throat tightened and he said, "It seems to be very dilapidated... there is no name, it is called Banshan Cemetery."
Yuan Qingying nodded, searched the navigation screen for a long time, then stepped on the accelerator to start the car and drove out of the campus.
The small lights in the car went out again, and only the neon lights on the street came in through the car window. Qi Yuzhou touched the door and seat curiously, and asked, "Brother Zhuo, is this your new car?"
Yuan Qingzhuo replied: "Well, I just bought it."
"It looks so handsome, why do you still have a small pet? What is that, a goldfish?"
As soon as the words were finished, Yuan Rong, who was sitting in the front row, couldn't help but glanced at the fish tank, where the two small red-tailed fish were still swimming lively, looking particularly vigorous.
In the darkness, the corners of Yuan Qingzhuo's lips curled up slightly, and he replied vaguely: "Rongrong caught this for me, and it must be kept in the car."
"Really? I can't tell, Yuan Rong, you still like to fish for goldfish."
Yuan Rong next to him blushed, and then glared at Yuan Qingzhuo: "Will you suffocate if you say a few words?"
Yuan Qingzhuo turned the steering wheel: "Okay, if you don't like it, then I won't say anything."
"..."
TMD, it's started again, it's starting to pretend again, right?
Yuan Rong leaned against the corner of the window with her arms folded, and decided to ignore him and take a nap on the way.
The car survived the congested road conditions in the second ring road, and finally sped on the provincial highway.Yuan Qingzhuo's driving skills are very stable, as can be seen from the slightly swaying water surface in the fish tank, he feels safe driving.
Along the way, Qi Yuzhou kept showing courtesy, he was the one who talked the most, Hua Yihe was not in the mood, maybe he was grateful to Yuan Qingzhuo for his help, and occasionally nodded to cater, only Wang Qinchuan and Yuan Qingzhuo did not deal with each other, but in order to get along with Yuan When Rong came to the cemetery, he couldn't bear it. He closed his microphone and slept the whole time, trying to ignore Yuan Qingzhuo's strong sense of existence.
Hua Yihe had a strong intuition, he always felt that the atmosphere between Yuan Qingzhuo and Yuan Rong was weird and tricky.
Obviously, there was no interaction between the two of them throughout the whole process, but he could always detect something was wrong from the details: for example, the water that was placed on the side of Yuan Rong, which could be touched with a slight movement of the hand, such as the two gluey little goldfish, and Yuan Rong After Rong fell asleep, Yuan Qingzhuo didn't say a word. When encountering bumpy roads, he would deliberately slow down and choose the most stable road.
It seemed reasonable that they were brothers.
But just because they are brothers, all this becomes even more unreasonable.
Hua Yihe turned his head, as if he wanted to ask Qi Yuzhou, but he thought that Qi Yuzhou's younger siblings were still in kindergarten, so there was probably no reference value.As for Wang Qinchuan, it is even more so. Like Hua Yihe, he is an only child.
Maybe he was thinking too much, after all, Yuanrong didn't like this brother very much in his impression.
Hua Yihe pinched the center of his brows and let out a long breath of relief.
The car drove for nearly an hour and finally arrived at the navigation destination.It is located in a small mountainous area, and there is only a concrete path lined with regular storefronts. It is no longer raining at this time, but the temperature is colder than usual, and the road has become slippery and muddy.
Yuan Qingzhuo found a safe place to park, then unlocked the car, and the three teenagers in the back seat immediately jumped down.
Only Yuan Rong was still sleeping, his crow-feather-like eyelashes hung down on his eyelids, and his slightly parted lips looked cute.
Yuan Qingzhuo stretched out his hand and pinched his nose maliciously, and the boy woke up after a while.
He opened his eyes in confusion, and then opened Yuan Qingzhuo's wrist: "What are you doing? Want to bully someone again?"
"Are you hungry?"
Yuan Rong restrained her anger a bit, and felt it a little bit: "A little bit."
"Then let's go eat first and get off the bus."
Yuan Qingzhuo took an umbrella from the car and suggested, "It's already eight o'clock, I'll treat you to a meal first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Hua Yihe: "It doesn't matter if you go up a little later, right?"
Hua Yihe's eyes flickered a few times, and he shook his head: "It doesn't matter, everyone should eat first."
The rest of the people had no objection, in order to accommodate Hua Yihe, they purposely found a small restaurant with a small family to sit down, Yuan Qingzhuo handed them the menu, and signaled them to make do with some favorite food.
The staple food of this shop is only beef noodles. The decoration is relatively simple and looks dusty.Because it is next to the cemetery, incense ash and paper ashes accumulate at the door and inside the store all the year round, and occasionally a few pieces of paper money with huge face value float by.
The Ching Ming Festival has not yet passed, and even at night, there are still many people rushing to visit the grave. Except for Yuan Rong and Yuan Qingzhuo, no one here has ever seen this kind of posture. The middle-aged man led the children and sat down around them, talking loudly in dialect while eating.
Having grown so big, Qi Yuzhou and Wang Qinchuan had never been to such a dilapidated small restaurant. They frowned and did not move for a long time looking at the greasy reflective tabletop and the red plastic broken stool.
It was also a lie for Hua Yihe to say that he would not respond, but he really wanted to go up the mountain after dinner, so he patted Wang Qinchuan on the back and said in a low voice, "It's okay, sit down."
This small table can't seat four people, and they are all tall and have long legs, so they can't use it together.Seeing this, Yuan Qingzhuo took the initiative to grab his younger brother, and said with a smile, "Let's sit at a table alone. I just want to ask Rong Rong about her recent monthly exam results."
In the eyes of several people, Yuan Qingzhuo took out a few pieces of toilet paper from the table and wiped the tabletop, and then sat down with Yuan Rong one after the other. There was no uncomfortable expression on their faces, even in such a noisy and complicated environment Nor does it blend in with those rowdy middle-aged people.
It was more natural when they were eating, Yuan Rong didn't have the slightest bit of disgust on his face, and he ate as much as he ordered without wasting at all, Qi Yuzhou was dumbfounded.
"Brother Zhuo and Yuan Rong can eat it?" Qi Yuzhou poked Wang Qinchuan and whispered, "Look, Yuan Rong's bowl is empty."
Wang Qinchuan followed the sound and saw Yuan Qingzhuo chatting with Yuan Rong, and then Yuan Rong glared at him angrily, Yuan Qingzhuo couldn't help smiling.
Seemingly noticing the sight of the neighboring table, Yuan Rong looked over at them: "Qin Chuan, why don't you eat it? I think the noodles in this store are pretty good, and there is no oil slick, so there shouldn't be any mess. You can eat at ease."
Wang Qinchuan picked up his chopsticks and smiled at him, then turned around and said, "Okay, people say it's okay after eating, so let's stop being hypocritical."
Qi Yuzhou watched his friends move their chopsticks one by one, but they still couldn't get their mouths down. He picked up a few noodles and stopped eating, preferring to be so hungry.
At this moment, Hua Yihe who was opposite stood up, went to the next table and asked, "Brother Zhuo, can you lend me some cash?"
Yuan Qingzhuo took out the wallet from his suit pocket: "Take it and use it."
"Thank you."
Hua Yihe thanked him lightly, turned around and left the restaurant. In the eyes of several people, he went to the funeral supplies store across the path.

Why didn't Yuan Rong have any food left, and who ate it, I won't say [doge].
