Unbridled - Chapter 38
Ding Ji didn’t know what Lin Wuyu would feel when he heard the name.
When he heard the word “Lin Zhan” on the phone, he felt that he couldn’t breathe for a while, his hands were shaking a little, and he shook twice on the balance car, almost fell off, and helped the shelf with a hand. inverted.
“Be careful,” a staff member glanced at him. “Stand down if you can’t stand.”
“Sorry,” Ding Ji didn’t care about buying water anymore. He leaned over and walked quickly through the middle of the shelf. He left the supermarket and stopped by an unoccupied wall around the corner. Then he confirmed it again. Are you Lin Zhan?”
“What is your relationship with Lin Wuyu?” Lin Zhan did not answer, “Classmates or friends?”
“Friend,” Ding Ji said, “I am not a school with him.”
“Which school is he?” Lin Zhan asked immediately.
Ding Ji paused: “Attachment, he is attached…”
“Why did he find me?” Lin Zhan didn’t wait for him to finish, and then asked again.
“I don’t know what to say, you should ask him,” Ding Ji said, “but your parents let him go this time.”
“Well.” There was a simple response.
Ding Ji felt like he was already sweating in his palm. Looking for Lin Zhan was like looking for a ginseng doll in the forest. When he saw a little trace, he should be careful to pass, fearing that he would run if he was disturbed.
He is now afraid that he will say something wrong, so Lin Zhan no longer appears.
“What did you just say that Lin Wuyu is the middle school?” Lin Zhan returned to the previous question.
“Learn God.” Ding Ji said.
“Really.” Lin Zhan said.
Ding Ji heard him laugh with a low voice, so he quickly took the opportunity to add: “He won the national championship this year, 732 points.”
“So powerful.” Lin Zhan said.
“I’ll give you his number,” Ding Ji said, “you call him…”
“Not first.” Lin Zhan rejected him very simply.
Ding Ji froze for a few seconds without knowing what to say.
He didn’t know whether he said something inappropriate, and Lin Zhan, who took the initiative to call, refused to communicate directly with Lin Wuyu.
“Thank you.” Lin Zhan said again.
Ding Ji was anxious as soon as he heard this. Is this going to hang up?
“Wait, wait…” he said in a series, “You don’t contact Lin Wuyu, what are you doing over the phone? Do you know what’s happening in your family? You know Lin Wuyu because of you What day! You haven’t seen him in ten years, you don’t want to know him…”
“I don’t like to call.” Lin Zhan said.
“Then why do you call me!” Ding Ji was angry.
Lin Zhan’s tone was calm: “Did I still go to you for an interview?”
Ding Ji opened his mouth and said nothing.
“I know where Lin Wuyu lives now.” Lin Zhan said.
“How do you know?” Ding Ji suddenly became nervous. “You followed him?”
“No,” Lin Zhan said, “I thought you followed me.”
“Then this number is yours?” Ding Ji asked, “Can I tell you Lin Wuyu by phone?”
“Yes.” Lin Zhan said.
But it may not be accepted, Ding Ji judged.
“I will find him when I think about it,” Lin Zhan said, “Thank you.”
Without waiting for Ding Ji to speak again, it had already hung up there.
Ding Ji froze for a few seconds while holding his mobile phone, and then tremblingly dialed Lin Wuyu’s phone.
Busy.
“Ah–” Ding Ji turned around in place and immediately sent Lin Wuyu another message.
He didn’t dare to mention Lin Zhan’s name, fearing that Lin Wuyu’s work would affect his emotions.
“Then I won’t have to go tomorrow,” Lin Wuyu stood at the door of Shaxian County and made a phone call. Since Ding Ji reminded him that he could go to Shaxian to eat two bites, he would come and eat two bites every time he came back. I’ll run again, and I feel enough.”
“I also feel quite a lot, with all angles,” Ling Ling said over there. “Then you have to rest first, and I can’t make up the material for the last two days.”
“Thank you sister.” Lin Wuyu said.
“Are you waiting for food again?” Sister Ling asked.
“Yes.” Lin Wuyu smiled.
“Brother said it’s really good to have some snacks for you…” Sister Ling laughed. “You can eat it when you’re done. I’ll contact you when I’m clear here.”
“Okay.” Lin Wuyu responded.
The phone rang again after hanging up.
It is estimated that it was Lao Lin, and he calculated that the notice should be coming soon.
He went into the store and took a package of soup and a box of steamed dumplings, and went to the community to order the news.
-Call me immediately
It is Ding Ji.
Lin Wuyu glanced at the time, at four o’clock in the afternoon, what can I do now?
He dialed Ding Ji’s number, and before he heard the sound of the bell, he picked it up over there. Ding Ji’s voice was a little bit panting: “Lin Wuyu! What are you doing now?”
“I just came back from my busy schedule,” Lin Wuyu froze, “What’s wrong?”
“I just received a call from Lin Zhan.” Ding Ji said.
Lin Wuyu stopped suddenly: “Lin Zhan?”
“Yes, the phone I left! He called!” Ding Ji’s voice increased a bit, and he heard a little excitement. “The mask we saw that day must be him!”
“What did you say?” Lin Wuyu asked.
“Don’t say much, he asked us what is the relationship between us, why did you find him,” Ding Ji said in a series, without giving him the opportunity to interrupt, “I told him that you are the national champion of the middle school god! He was happy but I said give him your number, he doesn’t want to…”
Lin Wuyu felt that his breathing was not smooth, and he could not move at the door of the community.
A car honked his horn behind him, and then he barely walked away, entered the gate, and sat down on a broken chair thrown out by the roadside.
“Why doesn’t he?” he asked, feeling his throat tighten.
“I don’t know, he said he doesn’t like to call! I will find you if I think about it. I said it’s OK to give him his number. He agreed, but I heard him mean that he might not answer when you call,” Ding Jiyu Suddenly, like a machine gun, suddenly, “You listen to me, Lin Wuyu, he must live nearby, he must be close to you!”
“Why?” Lin Wuyu sat up straight.
“He said he knows where you live.” Ding Ji said.
“He followed me?” Lin Wuyu looked around unconsciously.
“I asked the same, he said no,” Ding Ji finally calmed down, “There is a point, he said, I thought you followed me, what do you mean by thinking about it!”
“He thought I lived here because I found where he lived.” Lin Wuyu immediately reacted.
“Yes,” Ding Ji said, “In addition to the subway entrance, we must have met him in the section of the community to the subway entrance, but we didn’t find it, but he saw it.”
“And it should be after meeting at the subway entrance,” Lin Wuyu said, “otherwise he will not have an impression on us.”
“Yes, this must be the case,” Ding Ji said, “what do you do with your brain at this time?”
“It’s okay, but at this time I don’t care about realizing that you’re flattering me,” Lin Wuyu said.
“What kind of slap, I’ll just slap your ass…” Ding Ji stopped after half of the words, and quickly answered the next sentence, “I will send you his phone.”
“No need,” Lin Wuyu said, “I won’t fight if I hold it.”
“…All right,” Ding Ji said, “Do you not like to call?”
Lin Wuyu smiled: “It’s not me who ran.”
“Then pay attention to the people around you for a while, maybe you can still meet them,” Ding Ji said. “Maybe he will come to you.”
“Maybe he never thought about it,” Lin Wuyu said, “no matter, just do it.”
“Do you want to tell your parents?” Ding Ji asked.
“No,” Lin Wuyu thought for a while. “Wait until he thinks about it. Do you tell him my mother’s illness?”
“No, the phone call he gave me didn’t say enough for two minutes,” Ding Ji said. “He only asked you, in which school, why did you find him, without mentioning his parents.”
“Got it,” Lin Wuyu stood up, “Ding Ji.”
“Huh?” Ding Jiying responded.
“Thank you.” Lin Wuyu said.
“Thank you?” Ding Ji asked.
“Thank you for plugging in the number.” Lin Wuyu said.
“What’s there to be thankful for,” Ding Ji tweeted, “In the case of incidental hand, in case, right.”
“Well.” Lin Wuyu nodded.
He will give up a lot of things, self-protection, feel meaningless, or even habitually do not have too much hope for certain things, he only wants to deal with the things he can fully grasp. Ding Ji is different, except for the title of child prodigy, he does not seem to give up anything.
What a lovely little chicken.
Also want to pat people’s ass.
I don’t know what I’m thinking…
Lin Wuyu didn’t sleep well all night, because he couldn’t sleep well, so he would be hungry. When he was awake for the third time, he glanced at the time, 3:30 in the middle of the night.
He sat up, turned on his phone, tried to look at it, and found that several takeaways were still open. He ordered two burgers, two pairs of chicken wings and a cup of lemon tea.
Half an hour after the delivery, he got up and went to the living room to get a lollipop.
This thing is not hungry, but can cheat.
He sat on the sofa, wrapped his lollipop against the tip of his tongue, wrapped it, the stick pointed to the right, wrapped it, and the stick pointed to the left, but Ding Ji didn’t have the flexibility to point, after all, he practiced for more than ten years.
There was a cry in the stomach.
He sighed and opened his circle of friends to see if he wanted to distract him.
But I saw the newest circle of friends was just sent by Ding Ji.
-Get up and yawn and sleep
After he laughed, he couldn’t help but glanced at the time on his phone again, and it was now 3:30.
His fingers were all on the screen, and Ding Ji’s dialog box was opened, but in the end he still stepped back and put the phone aside.
At this time, Ding Ji should have finished yawning and ready to go to sleep.
Even if I didn’t sleep, it would be inappropriate to send a message now.
When Ding Ji accidentally said something about slapping his ass, he felt the embarrassment of Ding Ji before he could embarrass him.
Let’s control this kind of thing when chatting late at night.
Even if he really wants to talk to someone now.
No, he really wants to talk to Ding Ji now.
Fortunately, the little boy who delivered the meal saved him from fire and water, and called over ten minutes in advance.
“Can you come downstairs to get a meal?” the little brother asked.
“There is an elevator, you don’t have to climb the stairs, just take the elevator up.” Lin Wuyu said.
“Can I put it in the elevator, can you call it up?” The little brother asked again, “I’m afraid it’s not safe.”
“Who are you afraid of insecurity?” Lin Wuyu made him stunned.
“Me.” said the younger brother.
“…All right,” Lin Wuyu stood up helplessly out of the door and saw the elevator on the first floor. “You put it in the elevator, I warn you, don’t follow me, if you come up to me It was robbed immediately.”
Brother smiled: “Sorry.”
“It’s hard work.” Lin Wuyu pressed the elevator.
The empty elevator in the middle of the night came up slowly, stopped, opened, and there was a bag of burgers in it…
Lin Wuyu stared at the elevator door, wondering why he had an illusion. When the elevator door opened, Lin Zhan might have stood inside.
The elevator door opened.
There is only a bag of burgers in it.
He sighed and picked up the burger and returned to the house.
In the next two or three days, Lin Wuyu was a little unreliable. Ding Ji felt less reliable than him. He called several times a day and asked Lin Zhan if he had found him.
“No.” Lin Wuyu always answered the same every time, but he could feel that the same answer slowly brought some emotions.
Is disappointed.
He hoped to find Lin Zhan, and hoped that Lin Zhan would come to him.
Even when he was in and out of the community every day, he would look around very carefully, hoping to glance past, he suddenly saw Lin Zhan.
But after three days, Lin Zhan has no news.
“Or call me directly and ask,” Ding Ji said, “I call, and I ask him what it means. If you don’t think about it, don’t be harassed by your mother. It’s not the chasing girl who just wants to kill her.”
Lin Wuyu made him happy, and when he laughed, he felt suddenly relaxed.
“The notice is coming,” he changed the subject. “Who said our notice came first?”
“Mine,” Ding Ji said. “When receiving the award, the third place goes up first.”
“Remember to take a video and let me see it,” said Lin Wuyu. “My notification letter has to wait for Lao Lin to send it to me before I can see it.”
“I’ll get it for you,” Ding Ji said, “then just take it over.”
“Aren’t you afraid of losing me to trouble you?” Lin Wuyu asked.
“That’s why I lost it,” Ding Ji said. “Can this be lost casually? I’m not Liu Jinpeng.”
Lin Wuyu couldn’t help but laughed out his voice: “No, the name Liu Jinpeng is really used in your home. Anyone who wants to say something has to take Pengpeng out to pad.”
“Now the utilization rate of the little fairy is also very high,” Ding Ji said with a smile. “My grandma and you are bragging when you count, and the bragging capital will become stronger.”
“Let grandma come on National Day,” Lin Wuyu said, “I will take her to play for a few days.”
“I think too, and my aunt wants to go too,” Ding Ji said, “Let’s see then…”
Lin Wuyu was wondering where he could go when he suddenly heard the sound of “Dingdong”, he was stunned for a while: “What sound?”
Then there was another cry.
Dingdong.
“Your doorbell!” Ding Ji reacted. “Someone ring the doorbell!”
Lin Wuyu stood up suddenly.
“Probably Lin Zhan?” Ding Ji said over there. “You have a cat’s eye on your door. Go and see.”
“Well.” Lin Wuyu hurried to the door, and his footsteps were very quiet without making a sound.
Closed the cat’s eyes and looked outside.
A young man stood outside the door.
Wearing a baseball cap, his face was half covered, and only the tip of the nose and mouth could be seen.
Lin Wuyu’s breath was a bit out of rhythm, he lowered his voice to the phone: “It seems he is.”
“It seems?” Ding Ji was puzzled. “Lin Zhan shouldn’t change much, can’t you recognize it?”
“I can’t see clearly,” Lin Wuyu said softly, “He is wearing a hat…”
As if hearing him speak, the person outside the door suddenly raised his hand, took off his hat, propped his hand to the side of the cat’s eyes, and came over: “Lin Wuyu, open the door.”
Lin Wuyu quickly pressed his hand on the cat’s eyes: “It’s him.”
“Open the door!” Ding Ji was anxious.
“Well,” Lin Wuyu responded, “I will call you later.”
“Okay.” Ding Ji said.
Lin Wuyu hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and opened the door.
The person standing outside the door was much clearer than what he saw in the cat’s eyes.
This face has not changed much, and it can still recall his distant memories in a moment, and can coincide with the face that he has deliberately no longer remembered in a moment.
After a short and long silence, Lin Zhan said first: “You are completely different from when you were a kid.”
“You are still… the same,” Lin Wuyu hesitated and let it go, “Come in?”
Lin Zhan did not speak and walked into the house.
Lin Wuyu closed the door and stood beside the coffee table.
I don’t know what to say, I can’t even judge my mood at this moment. My mind seems to be emptied, and the information I read and write is only current.
After a while he walked up to the water dispenser and picked up the glass to pick up the water: “I wanted to call you…”
“I know you won’t fight. It was like this when you were a kid,” Lin Zhan walked to the window and looked outside, then pointed to the front. “I’ll live there.”
“What?” Lin Wuyu froze.
“I can see you with a telescope,” Lin Zhan said, “pull the curtains at night, who knows if there are any other abnormalities.”
Lin Wuyu glanced at him: “Other?”
“Well, take a telescope to peek at your younger brother,” Lin Zhan said, “It feels quite abnormal.”
Lin Wuyu didn’t speak. He looked in the direction and didn’t know what Lin Zhan was talking about.
Lin Zhan did not introduce him again, but just looked out the window silently.
Lin Wuyu looked at his profile in Yu Guangli.
His memories are not exactly the same as when he was a child. Most of Lin Zhan’s face in his memory is the angle from which he looked up.
Now, he is half a head taller than Lin Zhan.
“The child who came with you last time, Ding Ji,” Lin Zhan said, “said you were the top national in the college entrance examination this year.”
“Well.” Lin Wuyu suddenly felt embarrassed.
In front of anyone, he will not feel embarrassed because of this champion, he has nothing to be embarrassed, he is the champion, he has this confidence.
But this person is Lin Zhan.
This person is “your brother”.
This is the root of being neglected and neglected from the day he has memories…
It was the memory he locked in the corner that he did not want to think about again, but it was also the only affection he once felt and relied on.
“I’m actually,” Lin Zhan turned to look at him, “not surprised.”
“Huh?” Lin Wuyu looked at him.
“You have been smart since childhood,” Lin Zhan said, “especially smart, I told them that you are a genius.”
Lin Wuyu smiled.
Lin Zhan turned his head to look at him for a while, then stretched his arms and hugged him, and said softly, “I’m sorry, Xiaoyu.”
