Chapter 39 - The Abyss So Close - 5

With the agreement with Han Li, Pei Yanyu has been waiting to go to work at the convenience store at night since he returned to school.

There were very few classes that day, so he went to the social practice center to submit the materials for applying for an internship during the time when he was not in class.

Recently, it was the peak period for applications. Pei Yanyu sat outside the office and waited in line, taking out his mobile phone to send a message to Han Li in boredom.

I don't know what Han Li was busy with, or he didn't pay attention to his phone, until Pei Yanyu waited until he submitted the materials, there was no reply from him on the phone.

Unexpectedly, he handed in the materials and waited for the teacher's reply when the phone vibrated in his pocket.The sound was not loud, but the office was very quiet. The teacher who was checking the materials raised his eyes from behind his glasses.

Pei Yanyu smiled awkwardly, took out his phone and saw Han Li's reply, saying that he was reading in a bookstore.

How did you think of going to the bookstore?Pei Yanyu was puzzled, so he put away his phone so as not to disturb Han Li's reading.

"Student, you need to submit these two materials to the counselor for signature." The teacher returned all the materials to Pei Yanyu, and put the two documents she pointed at the top, "Let the counselor write a college certificate and send it over. "

Pei Yanyu took it over and took a closer look, and saw that there were still many students queuing up behind him, thanked the teacher, and left as soon as possible.

When he came to the door of the counselor's office, Pei Yanyu realized that he hadn't seen Du Weiqiu for nearly half a month.

He hesitated for a moment at the concealed door, collected himself, and knocked on the office door.

"Hello, Mr. Niu." Seeing that Du Weiqiu's work place was empty, Pei Yanyu felt a little relieved, and regretted that he had to come again, and asked, "Is Mr. Du here?"

Teacher Niu adjusted his glasses and said, "He's gone out. What's the matter?"

Pei Yanyu looked at the documents in his hand, and replied: "There are two of the documents I applied for the internship that require him to issue a certificate. When will he come back?"

"It's not certain." Teacher Niu said, "You can either put it here and I will tell him when he comes back. Or you can come back later, he may not come back for a while."

Seeing that Teacher Niu seemed to be hiding something, Pei Yanyu couldn't help being curious.It was inconvenient for him to continue to inquire, so he had to say: "Then I will come back later. Thank you teacher."

Walking out of the office, he took out his mobile phone and found Du Weiqiu's number, hesitating whether he should ask him where he was going directly - tomorrow is the weekend, Pei Yanyu has to work as a tutor, and with the part-time job in a convenience store, it is difficult for him to have a job like today idle.

It was just a message, not an interruption. After hesitating, Pei Yanyu sent a message to Du Weiqiu, asking him where he was at this time, and explaining why he was looking for him in detail.

He stood outside the department building for a while, and gradually felt the wind pick up, and he could even occasionally feel water droplets falling on the tip of his nose and eyelashes.

Since Du Weiqiu won't return to the department hall for a while, there's no need for Pei Yanyu to wait any longer.

He went to the library, parked next to the row of bicycles that had been blown down by the strong wind in front of the library, took out his mobile phone and looked, there were messages from Han Li and Du Weiqiu respectively.

Han Li: I'm sorry, I'm going to Huaizuo with my friends tonight, and I won't be back.Do you have class tomorrow?If not, go home and wait for me after work.See you tomorrow.

Du Weiqiu: I am in the hospital to accompany the child's mother to see a doctor, and I will go back later.You first send me a photo of the materials that need to be issued, and I will go back to you at night to open it for you, and you can pick it up tomorrow morning.

After Pei Yanyu finished reading their messages, he suddenly heard a bang, and was hit by a bicycle that fell down.

He gritted his teeth in pain, hopped two steps on one foot, and picked up the bicycle.

The last time I saw Du Weiqiu, he was accompanying the child to see a doctor in the hospital, and now he is the child's mother.Pei Yanyu couldn't help but sigh for his recent exhaustion from his family. When he came to the self-study room, he first took photos of the materials and sent them back to Du Weiqiu, thanked him in advance, and replied to Han Li, saying yes.

I don't know where Han Li and his friends got the leisure to go to Huaizuo by boat on this rainy and windy night.

Thinking of the temporary cancellation of the appointment with Han Li, Pei Yanyu couldn't help feeling frustrated, but letting Han Li accompany him to work was a burden for him, and it would be a good thing to go to Huaizuo to play.

Is that an important friend?Could it be a friend from afar?University classmate?Pei Yanyu himself doesn't have many friends, except for his classmates, he rarely makes friends, so he doesn't know much about how to make friends.

He also hasn't met Han Li's friends - if that MB who looks like a high school student and those "misses" don't count.

The final exams are approaching, and the winter vacation will start after the exams are over.

After the self-study, Pei Yanyu used the rest of the day to go to the train ticket agency to buy student tickets to go home.

But when he came to the sales office closest to the school and saw a long queue, he gave up the idea.Pei Yanyu took the bus to the direction of the city, found a sales office with not so many people, and got off to buy tickets.

This consignment store, which covers an area of ​​less than five square meters, is very hidden. Pei Yanyu quickly bought the train ticket to go home. Taking advantage of the early time, he made up his mind to go back to school and then have dinner.

However, on his way to the bus station, he saw Han Li and his friends.

Thinking of Han Li saying that he was going to Huaizuo with his friends earlier, Pei Yanyu was very puzzled.

However, this place is not far from the ferry, perhaps they are planning to go there by boat.He hesitated whether to go up to say hello, and saw that the two had already reached the ticket office of the ferry.

Pei Yanyu stepped forward, but before he could say hello, Han Li, who had already bought the ticket, came out from the ticket window, smiled at his friend, and took that person's hand.

Seeing this, Pei Yanyu's heart skipped a beat, and the explanation for "friend" came to mind again.

It was a boy who was about the same age as him, with an ordinary appearance, but an extraordinary temperament.He was obviously much more courageous than Pei Yanyu. Even though there were tourists waiting to buy tickets, that boy held hands with Han Li very calmly.But he looked listless, looking at Han Li with blank and sad eyes, Han Li leaned into his ear and spoke with a gentleness that Pei Yanyu rarely saw.

Seeing Han Li tidy up the boy's messy forehead hair, Pei Yanyu's heart suddenly turned cold.

There were people coming and going on the street, but Pei Yanyu felt that he was especially redundant in the cold wind.

He wiped his forehead and found no sweat.Perhaps it was because he was standing too far away that Han Li only focused on talking to that boy and didn't find himself for a long time.Pei Yanyu hesitated in place for a long time, and finally dialed Han Li's number when he saw the queue for their gate.

Still holding his friend's hand, Han Li answered the phone with his free hand: "Hello?"

"Hello?" Maybe it was because the river was too cold, Pei Yanyu's voice trembled, "Have you arrived in Huaizuo?"

"Not yet, just about to board the boat." He put his hand on the boy's shoulder, let the man walk in front, and asked, "Have you finished class? Have you had dinner yet?"

Hearing his nonchalant voice, Pei Yanyu felt desolate in his heart.He smiled wryly, but there was no sound. He said for a while, "I'm about to eat. When are you coming back? Tomorrow?"

There were other boat passengers lined up behind them, but Han Li was tall, and Pei Yanyu could still see his tall and straight figure.He was so attentive, and his hands were always on that person's shoulders as if to comfort him.Han Li said, "About noon tomorrow. Do you want to eat steamed stuffed buns? I'll buy them for you."

"I don't want to eat." Pei Yanyu's heart was so sad that he might be corrupted.He frowned in pain, and managed to hold his breath. After adjusting his emotions, he stared at Han Li's back, imitating his usual playful and ambiguous tone, and said with a soft smile, "I want to eat you."

Han Li was obviously taken aback by what he said. After a while, he and his friends passed through the gate, and said with a smile to Pei Yanyu, "Then wait for me to come back."

The corner of Pei Yanyu's mouth curled into a self-deprecating smile, and said, "Well, go slowly."

Han Li, who had just finished the ticket check, stopped abruptly when he heard the word "walk slowly".

He turned around in shock, and couldn't believe what he saw - Pei Yanyu was standing by the road.

Pei Yanyu looked at him for an unknown amount of time, and when he saw him turning his head, he smiled slightly at him, seemingly indifferent and worried.

Han Li was about to go back through the gate, but was stopped by the staff, and other passengers who lined up to check in also cast dissatisfied glances at him.

"What's wrong?" The returnee brother who had just lost his love asked in puzzlement.

Han Li looked at him in embarrassment, then at Pei Yanyu who had already called a taxi.He quickly shouted on the phone: "Wait a minute, don't go!"

"It's okay, you go ahead. The boat is about to leave." Pei Yanyu had already heard the sound of the ferry announcement on his mobile phone. He got into the taxi, looked indifferently and helplessly at Han Li who was attacking the staff at the gate, and said , "You guys have fun." After speaking, he immediately hung up the phone and asked the taxi driver to drive.

Han Li's call came in quickly, but Pei Yanyu refused to answer the call, and then turned off the phone.
