leave you

After that day, Luo Shan never mentioned Gu Zhilin's name to Xue Jin again.No one told him how the meal ended, and Xue Jin didn't bother to ask, anyway, he could guess the ending with his toes, so there was no need to waste words.

The former Mrs. Li officially became single at the end of this month, and was allocated a large amount of Mr. Li's property. She held a small party as Ms. Shao and invited Xue Jin to attend.

On the phone, she politely exchanged a few words with Xue Jin, and then brought out her daughter: "Yuanyuan said last time you promised that she would come, so I won't be too polite with you. I only invited some friends, young There are a lot of people, just have a meal and chat, don't be too formal."

Ms. Li made a good plan and used his words to block his mouth, but Xue Jin really didn't want to go, so she had to say that she was holding a trial in another place and couldn't return to Jiangcheng in the past few days, and she was polite in a half-truth. Only then declined Ms. Shao's invitation.

He saw that it was almost seven o'clock, and he didn't want to go home to eat takeaway, so he called Su Yao and drove to have a meal.

This point was far from Yixin's business hours, the bar door was closed, Xue Jin parked the car, and entered the store through the staff passage at the back door familiarly.Su Yaoren was not in the shop at first, but when he heard that he was coming for dinner, he got up from the bed at home, because he lived nearby, so he arrived earlier than Xue Jin.

"What do you want to eat? We have seafood today, and I just arrived in the afternoon." Su Yao yawned and sat down, as if he hadn't woken up.

The second floor was still being cleaned, so they had no choice but to sit down in front of the empty bar on the first floor. Anyway, the boss didn't mind, so Xue Jin just did as he pleased.

"Let's make seafood pasta, small portions, I don't have much appetite." He casually rolled Su Yao's messy hair into a bird's nest, and teased with a smile, "Did you become a thief last night? Didn't you last a night?" sleep."

"There was a game where I drank until four o'clock. I don't know who sent me home. I fell asleep until you called me." Su Yao lay on the bar counter with her bird's nest head on her head and her eyes blank. , Limbly called the waiter to order.Xue Jin sat next to him, and waited until he finished ordering before continuing, "Don't get up next time, I'll leave after a meal, and I don't need the boss to accompany me in person."

"That's impossible. Since I'm at home, can I still let you eat in the restaurant alone?" Su Yao yawned again, "My dad found me an aunt to cook for me last week, and her skills are not as good as a dedicated cook. , was resigned by me, otherwise I would have sent you to eat at my place..."

"Hurry up and go upstairs to sleep after eating." Xue Jin couldn't stand it any longer, "I'm afraid you'll suddenly lose your job in a while, how embarrassing, Boss Su."

The two of them quarreled for a while and had a meal, Su Yao became more sleepy after eating, and couldn't bear it any longer and went upstairs to catch up on sleep.Yixin opened for business at 08:30, Xue Jin was fine at night, stayed on the first floor to watch the employees who came to work one after another prepare to open the door to welcome customers, and very consciously moved to a corner out of the way.

"I'll stay for a while, you are busy with your own business, don't worry about me."

He clicked on the mobile game again, and felt a little thirsty when it was almost nine o'clock, so he pressed pause, looked up at the direction of the bar, and decided to order a drink.But before he had time to stand up, someone had already stopped in front of his desk, hesitantly putting down a drink.

Xue Jin looked up and met the eyes under the brim of Ah Sang's hat.

"Mr. Xue," the other party smiled stiffly, then pulled out his left hand from his jacket pocket, and put the card that Xue Jin left last time on the table, "The foreman asked me to deliver your card. "

He was reserved and more uncomfortable than the last time we met. Xue Jin thought he was nervous at first, but when he took a closer look, he found that Ah Sang was not wearing Yixin's uniform. He was wearing ordinary sportswear and sneakers. He didn't look like he was going to work at all.

The card belonged to him, Xue Jin glanced at it to make sure that he did not admit his mistake, but he did not put it away immediately, but let it lie on the table, and waved to Ah Sang first: "Come, sit down."

He took a booth by himself, and there was no one on the other side. A trace of hesitation crossed Ah Sang's face, and he finally sat down.

"What's the matter with me?"

Xue Jin picked up the drink and took a sip. The almost non-alcoholic fruit wine had a mild taste, and the added ice cubes neutralized the sourness just right, leaving only the aroma of fruit in the mouth.

Since Ah Sang doesn't go to work today, he came to find him specially.This child timidly avoided him last time, but today he took the initiative to take the job of returning his things. He was quite curious about what the other party wanted to do.

On the other hand, Ah Sang looked like he was being seen through, as if he was harboring some big secret, he sat opposite him and kept silent, his head was so low that it looked like he didn't have a long neck vertebrae.Xue Jin thought it was funny looking at him, and waited for a while, seeing that he still didn't have the courage to speak, so he bent his index finger and tapped on the table: "Little friend, you just sit here and don't say anything. I don't know how to read minds, so how do I know your intention?"

Startled by him, Ah Sang subconsciously said, "I'm not..."

Unable to hide his panic, he raised his head to look at Xue Jin, and happened to meet the latter's probing eyes.

"Am I that scary?" Xue Jin raised his eyebrows, deliberately teasing him, "Why do you get nervous every time you talk to me?"

The booth in this corner is far away from the light source, and the light is a bit dim. You can only see the outline of people clearly, but Xue Jin's eyes are extraordinarily bright.Ah Sang was a little frightened by him, shrank his legs uncomfortably: "No, I just..."

Just don't know how to speak.

He avoided Xue Jin's gaze and lowered his head again, his face was flushed, and his fingers were twisted together. Seeing that Xue Jin was impatient with waiting, he forced himself to speak his intentions hesitantly.

"Mr. Xue, I...I want to ask you for a favor."

One night two months ago, when Ah Sang finished his part-time job and returned to the dormitory, he accidentally ran into a group of people groping girls on the secluded school road. He wanted to help, but he couldn't find the security guard after searching around. What happened to him, so he plucked up the courage to go up and persuade the other party to stop.

Then he was knocked out, and when he woke up in the early morning of the next day, the security patrol found him lying on the ground with a girl who was also unconscious and disheveled, and called the police.

He told his story in the police station, but the police didn't believe it. He also extracted his fingerprints from the scattered wine bottles at the scene, obviously suspecting that he was drunk and molested the victim.

Ah Sang couldn't say anything, he did drink some wine, but that was because he was working part-time as a bartender, and he could drink well, it was impossible to get drunk with half a glass of wine, he confirmed that he was sober the night before.But it’s useless to say these things, the campus surveillance couldn’t capture the scene of the crime, and he couldn’t see what the gang looked like in the dark at night, so he could only hope that the female classmate who was also in a coma could help him prove his innocence.

"It sounds like a trick." Xue Jin raised his eyebrows, and did not question the authenticity for the time being, "How is the girl?"

Asan shook his head and sighed softly.

The girl inhaled an overdose of ether and fell into a coma for two days, waking up later than him. When she just woke up, the family refused to accept police inquiries on the grounds that they were frightened and needed to rest. It was not until the fourth day that they got some useful information from her.

After she regained consciousness, her logic was quite clear, and she did not accuse Ah Sang of being the prisoner who molested her, but she failed to give any valuable testimony to the group who escaped that night. There are no other clues.

Ah Sang stayed in the detention center for a few days. When he was released, the matter had already been posted on the Internet. I don’t know who deliberately gave him a person who was rich and powerful so the victims dared not identify him. Netizens almost swarmed and started complaining about Z's inaction.The school issued two statements but failed to quell these rumors, and finally found Ah Sang and discussed with him what to do next.

He comes from a small county in the south, and he is introverted and even a little withdrawn by nature. His first reaction was not to let his parents know when this happened, so he told the teacher sent by the school to coordinate: "My parents are still in their hometown, so they probably don't know about it. ... Is there any way to calm the news on the Internet as soon as possible?"

He knew that someone behind him deliberately poured dirty water on him, but he couldn't do anything about it.He had guessed the ending when he was at the police station. Fortunately, the girl didn't identify him, otherwise he might not have come out so soon.

He doesn't know who to ask for help, and probably no one is willing to help him, he just wants to let his parents and other people in the family know, let it pass as soon as possible.

The teacher also wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible. Seeing his cooperation, he simply nodded: "Then let's go back and make a new announcement. Don't worry, not many people will pay attention to this matter in a few days."

Then Ah Sang received a suspension from school, and the matter came to an end.But nearly two months have passed, and no one has told him when he can go back to school, and he dare not go back to school for fear of being judged by other students.Fortunately, Yixin's foreman had a good relationship with him, so he told Su Yao for him, and vacated a bed for him in the staff dormitory for him to live in temporarily, otherwise he would really be living on the street during this period of time.

After listening to his narration, Xue Jin probably understood what was going on, and nodded clearly.

"Then... what do you want now?"

"I just want to go back to school early. It's almost the end of the term, and I have to go home after the exam..." Everything that should be said and what should not be said have been poured out. Ah Sang seems to be much more at ease now, talking It's quite neat, "I called the previous teacher last time, but he didn't give me an accurate number. I... don't know what to do."

He lowered his head in frustration, and rubbed the toes of his shoes on the ground: "My family...conditions are not very good, and it is not easy for me to study. If I can't graduate smoothly and find a job, it may drag down my parents. "

He is very young, and even has a youthful look on his face, but the traces of worrying about the future and life have already been stained on the immature brows, making him look inappropriate.Xue Jin's family background is good, he has never been short of money, and his parents don't rely on him to support him. He has never had similar troubles. In fact, he doesn't really empathize with him. But when he looked at Ah Sang, who was full of worries and hesitation, he suddenly understood in a strange way. overcome the opponent's difficulties.

Ah Sang finished his written manuscript, and turned back to that boring gourd.He glanced at Xue Jin cautiously, as if he felt that he was a little too strong, so he apologized to him first: "I know it's not appropriate to ask you for help, but... I really don't know what to do, I'm sorry .”

It's not that Xue Jin doesn't want to help him, it's just that this matter is either big or small, and he didn't think about what to do for a while.

"I was quite busy a while ago, so I didn't hear that something like this happened at University Z." He spoke carefully, not daring to say big things to Ah Sang, "I will look into this matter, but I can't say that it will definitely help... ...After all, I am just an alumni who has graduated for several years, and the classmates who have friendship with me may not be able to talk in school or your college."

He thought he was going to reject him, but Xue Jin not only did not refuse, but also said that he would help to try it out, which was beyond Ah Sang's expectation.He was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and quickly got up and bowed to Xue Jin: "Thank you very much!"

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me, I really may not be able to help." Xue Jin stretched out his hand to support Ah Sang's elbow, but he failed to bow to 90 degrees, and was stopped by him, "You have to provide me with some For specific information, I want to know what is going on with your case."

The news on the Internet is basically untrustworthy except for the police announcements and school announcements with limited credibility. Of course, Xue Jin did not expect to judge the truth of this matter based on Ah Sang's one-sided words, but he could not rush without knowing the whole story. to help a stranger.

Even if Ah Sang looks sincere.
