Overwhelming

Chapter 38

When Jiang Yunfan arrived at Zuiwangxiang, it was 10:[-] p.m., a full [-] minutes had passed since Jiangsu came to power.

The person who came to greet him was Shizhong's girl, who was already off work at that time, and met him as soon as she walked to the door, so she extended her off-duty time for a few minutes and brought Jiang Yunfan in.

"Just find an inconspicuous location." Jiang Yunfan said.

Chen Shizhong took Jiang Yunfan to find a corner seat for two, took a menu and put it in front of him.Jiang Yunfan glanced and ordered a braised pork rice.

Chen Shizhong asked: "Do you want anything else?"

Jiang Yunfan pondered for a moment, "Another cup of lemon tea?"

"Okay." Chen Shizhong took the list and prepared to go backstage.

Jiang Yunfan said: "I'm sorry to trouble you, go to rest quickly after get off work, I will guard here."

Chen Shizhong nodded, took the list and left.

Jiang Yunfan propped his chin and looked across several tables at Jiangsu.The man was still the same as the first time we met, playing the guitar with his head down, and singing quietly, giving people a feeling of isolation from the world.

"Oh." Jiang Yunfan sighed.

After listening quietly for about 10 minutes, the waiter came over with a plate, put down the stewed pork rice and lemon tea, and said respectfully, "Sir, use it slowly."

Jiang Yunfan picked up a spoon and poked it in the plate containing braised pork rice, tasted it, and felt that it tasted good.

There were as many people in Zuiwangxiang as usual, but it was time for meals, and most of the people in the store were normal eaters. At first glance, they didn't look threatening, and none of them looked like ruthless characters who could stir up trouble.

To say something special, there are only students at the two tables in the middle.The voices of the students at the two tables were not low. Jiang Yunfan eavesdropped for a while while eating, and roughly guessed that they came here for dinner.These students are all in the third year of high school. Although school has not officially started yet, the high school seniors who have no holidays are still fighting at the forefront. They finally made it to Friday. In order to celebrate the upcoming two-day holiday, they gathered here , It's so touching.

Jiang Yunfan unconsciously recalled his high school life, and felt that it was quite boring, so he didn't bother to think about it any more, and then returned his attention again, only to realize that Jiangsu had stepped down at some point.

Jiang Yunfan ate the last mouthful of stewed pork rice, took a sip of tea, and looked around the store, regrettably finding that Jiangsu was not within the search range.

Probably back to the living room.

"elder brother?"

The voice suddenly exploded behind him, and Jiang Yunfan was taken aback by surprise. He turned his head reflexively, and met Jiangsu's probing eyes.

Jiangsu was amused by Jiang Yunfan's reaction, rolled his eyes and smiled.

Jiang Yunfan coughed lightly, "Why are you laughing, sit?" He pointed to the chair opposite.

So Jiangsu walked over and sat down, and put the guitar aside casually, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Yunfan said: "I'm worried about my teammates."

After Jiangsu found that the answer was the same as he imagined, he shook his head, "It's those four words every time, so I might as well change the name."

Jiang Yunfan then changed his words: "I'm worried about you."

Jiangsu: "..."

Jiang Yunfan: "...Look, you also think it's a little weird, don't you?"

Jiangsu accepted his fate, "Do as you like. I told you that someone will watch over me, so there is nothing to worry about."

Before Jiang Yunfan entered the store, he did see two waiters leaning on the left and right of the door, but the two looked a little too thin, and they didn't seem to be able to stop people.He expressed his thoughts very frankly, Jiangsu smiled lightly after hearing this, and said: "The only one who will come here to arrest me is my aunt, and now my aunt is in the hospital, and my aunt is a middle-aged and elderly person. How strong do you want to stop?"

"Rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry. Who knows if your aunt will break out and single out a group..." Jiang Yunfan said, suddenly felt that talking about relatives like this seemed a little bad, so he changed the direction and moved the content to On Jiangsu's body, "And you're good at fighting, aren't you? If your aunt isn't good, how could you be strong enough to fight against four." It seemed that something was wrong.

Jiangsu said: "Come on, he probably won't come."

Jiang Yunfan thinks about it too.His aunt had just been lying in the hospital, so his aunt had no reason to come here so soon.

Seeing that Jiang Yunfan didn't seem to be worried anymore, Jiangsu raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the point of me picking four?"

"No, it's just..." Jiang Yunfan paused, and then continued: "It's just the news two days ago that a buddy didn't lose in a one-on-one four, but the meme became popular after a one-on-four match. Don't you know?"

Jiangsu shook his head, "I don't know, I don't often watch the news."

Jiang Yunfan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, and it's not a big deal. I also saw it when I watched the barrage during the live broadcast. The enthusiasm for such things usually disappears after a few days."

Jiangsu was noncommittal.Jiang Yunfan quickly changed the subject: "By the way, there is one thing I haven't figured out. Why do your aunts have such a big opinion on you running away from home? Isn't it a good thing to have less people eating their meals?"

Jiangsu said: "Where do you think the tuition fees for my previous studies came from? They paid for me. You also know that most of them don't want to suffer, so they pay for my studies to make money for me in the future." In order to support them, this person who raised so much money suddenly ran away without a word, can they not rush to find me back?"

"Oh." Jiang Yunfan suddenly realized, "You are a little heartless."

"..." Jiangsu glanced at him, "I keep all the money owed to them, and I will pay them back together when I have all the money together. I also left a note when I left, but they didn't believe me. Method."

Jiang Yunfan said: "If you had left money, they would have believed it."

Jiangsu said: "Where did I get the money at that time, so I ran away with a guitar and an ID card on my back. I didn't dare to take my mobile phone, for fear of being located."

Jiang Yunfan said: "Your aunt, are they from the police station or are they private investigators? Are they still doing positioning? I dare not even think about such a high-end operation."

Jiangsu said: "If you're not afraid of [-], you're just in case, if they go to the police station on a whim and report me a disappearance..."

Jiang Yunfan interrupted: "Fuck you, how dare they go to the police station in such a situation?"

Jiangsu said: "You don't know, they dare to do anything, and they never wake up. But they really don't seem to report the crime."

Jiang Yunfan asked: "Then you didn't bring any money with you when you ran away?"

Jiangsu thought for a while, "I brought five hundred in cash. I bought the ticket to the second district online, and copied the ticket code on the paper."

Although the prices in the Second District are not high, it is not easy to survive here with just five hundred. Jiang Yunfan really can’t imagine how this person survived at that time, and he wants to ask but is afraid of bringing up sad memories , quite a bit tangled.

Fortunately, Jiangsu is considerate, "You want to know how I survived at that time, don't you? Actually, it wasn't too miserable, and the process went smoothly."

Seeing that Jiangsu was willing to speak, Jiang Yunfan listened attentively and looked into Jiangsu's eyes very seriously.

Jiangsu then said: "I'm pretty good at playing the guitar. When I came here, I wanted to try my luck at nightclubs and bars. Then I came to the street of Zuiwangxiang. There are many nightclubs here. , I came over and wandered around. A few days after Zuiwangxiang opened, there was a recruitment sign at the door. I saw a guitar on it, so I went to try it, and then...it really went smoothly. "

Jiang Yunfan felt a little delusional, "Isn't it true that you found a job on the first day you came here?"

"No." Jiangsu said, "It's the next day."

Jiang Yunfan said: "Is there a difference? No, you're lucky, aren't you? Is it so easy to find a job now?"

Jiangsu said: "The main thing is that my voice is better. At that time, there were five or six guitarists who applied for the job. Two of them played better than me, but their singing was a little weaker than mine."

Jiang Yunfan said: "I can't see that you are quite immodest."

"Actually, I'm quite humble. I haven't told anyone else about this." Jiangsu said: "You are the first."

Jiang Yunfan was flattered, "So, I'm honored?"

"Well." Jiangsu said: "Luck is also a kind of strength, but now that I think about it, I was also quite...well, very young and frivolous, thinking that there is no limit to the road, and it is impossible for a living person I was starved to death because I changed the place. However, if I hadn’t found a place like Zuiwangxiang, I might have starved to death on the street in the end.”

"That won't work." Jiang Yunfan said: "If it doesn't work, you can go to the street and set up a broken bowl, and then sit there and play the guitar. You should still be able to earn money for two meals a day. As for sleeping... let's go for a run in the morning There is a small area under the bridges that are empty, and there is no water overflowing, so I think it can still make do."

Jiangsu looked at Jiang Yunfan with a pair of eyes, "You can also dump some old clothes that people don't want into the trash can and use them as quilts and blankets?"

Jiang Yunfan shook his head, "No, what do you want someone's unwanted coat for? You're not a junk collector. How romantic is the bed for the sky, let's not fix those tacky ones."

Jiangsu said: "Brother, stop, I'm looking for a job."

Jiang Yunfan withdrew from the fantasy, and said, "It's actually quite touching, don't you think?"

Jiangsu said sincerely, "I don't think so."

Jiang Yunfan sighed, fell silent, and then laughed heartlessly, "It's fortunate that you found a job, otherwise it would be pretty bleak to think about."

Jiangsu said: "You just said that you were impressed."

Jiang Yunfan said: "It's desolate. By the way, when did you run away from home? Didn't you just graduate from university not long ago?"

Jiangsu Dao: "I ran away during the summer vacation before I went to college. They didn't know which school I was admitted to. After I arrived in Zuiwangxiang, Donghe helped me find a poverty certificate from the local community, and then I applied for a bursary. .”

"Wow." Jiang Yunfan expressed his admiration without reservation, and then asked, "Who is Donghe?"

"..." Only then did Jiangsu remember that he hadn't mentioned this name to Jiang Yunfan, and explained: "It's the shop owner, who takes good care of me."

Jiang Yunfan didn't think much of it before, but after hearing such a long story now, he suddenly felt that Donghe was very suspicious, "Why is he taking such good care of you for no reason?"

Jiangsu said: "Probably because I am his employee?"

Jiang Yunfan always felt that this matter was not that simple, "He treats other employees like you?"

Jiangsu shook his head without thinking, "No."

Jiang Yunfan said: "Then you don't think there is any problem in it? If something goes wrong, there must be a demon."

Jiangsu said: "Don't worry, he took good care of me because I was the youngest in the store. At that time, I was the only student here who was studying in college. Everyone else had graduated. What should I take care of?"

Jiang Yunfan said: "No, he is employing child labor, right?"

Jiangsu said: "I was 18 at that time."

Jiang Yunfan said: "You are required to work without a degree? This store is not good enough."

Jiangsu said: "Don't tell me you value diplomas, you don't."

"I'm really not. But there are quite a lot of people who value this thing." Jiang Yunfan said: "As far as the relatives in my family were concerned, when I was about to drop out of school to join a professional team, I would never go there. After I graduated from university...the result is that I still play games after graduation, why not let me join the team at the beginning."

Following this topic, Jiangsu asked, "So have you ever played a professional game?"

Jiang Yunfan shrugged, "No, I don't want to play professional games after college. I feel very tired. I practice every day, and there is so much pressure. I am more casual, and being an anchor is good enough. Such a little skill is enough. use."

Jiangsu expressed his understanding, and then said: "Actually, as long as you can do what you want, it's fine and comfortable."

"Yeah." Jiang Yunfan nodded, "So what about you? You can't dream of being a guitarist in a bar from the very beginning, right? Do you mind telling me, you...just put aside other objective conditions, what do you want to do? ?”

Jiangsu also didn't know when the topic came to this place, so it could only follow along, "In my case, I actually thought about trying to see if I could play professional games, but I couldn't afford it at that time." With good equipment, you can’t practice even if you practice.”

What did Jiang Yunfan think of, "So you played Lianliankan?"

Jiangsu: "...Ah, yes. Pretty good."

"What a fart." Jiang Yunfan really didn't know what was wrong with this, "Hey, I found that your life experience is quite legendary, you are a character."

Jiangsu smiled, it was very pretty.

Jiang Yunfan was dazed by his smile, and after a while he asked, "Well, what was our initial topic?"

"...forgot." Jiangsu said: "This question is a bit out of line."

Jiang Yunfan glanced at the time, "What the hell, how long is your rest time? It's been 10 minutes."

"Ah, that's 10 minutes." Jiangsu stood up, picked up the cup of lemon tea in front of Jiang Yunfan and took a sip. When putting the cup down, he said "This tea is my treat", and then picked up the guitar to go to Taiwan. Go up.

As soon as Jiangsu came to the stage and sat on the stool, Jiang Yunfan saw a waiter rushing up from the stairs, and locked onto Jiangsu on the stage at a glance.Jiang Yunfan recognized that the person was the one on the left side of the door that he saw at the door before, and quickly got up and strode to him, "Brother, something happened outside?"
