The Eye of the Heart [MTL] (Completed)

Chapter 26

The cheongsam shop was closed, Wang Ruizhi stood at the door and looked out of the alley without tidying up the things on the console.

Liang Cheng went downstairs to pour water, and there was a little dent on the bridge of his nose from the frame of his glasses. He sat reading for a long time, and needed to exercise his muscles and bones. He walked over and said, "Do you want to pull the shutter?"

Wang Ruizhi replied: "Hold on, alas, it's almost ten o'clock, why hasn't Yuan Lin come back, he doesn't go to cram school today."

According to the speed of the taxi, he should have arrived home long ago, Liang Cheng said, "Call and ask."

"He sent a message in the afternoon, saying that he was left behind by the teacher after school and came back late. But it was too late, and the school stipulated that he would not be allowed to stay for too long."

When Liang Cheng was studying at 10:30 in the evening, he was used to it in the past two years, and he was not on time, so he didn't think there was anything wrong.

Wang Ruizhi was still worried, fearing that Qiao Yuanlin would be scolded, he would fall in a bad mood, and he would be in trouble if he got sick, so he said, "I'll wait for him at the alley."

Liang Cheng suddenly remembered that night when Qiao Yuanlin was sitting under the door feeding the mosquitoes, he frowned and said, "I'll go."

The alleys are so dark that you can't see anything clearly, the street is brighter, a few shops are still open, and the flashing colorful signs are tacky but friendly.

A bus slowed down and stopped, and Qiao Yuanlin got off from the back door.

The station was still some distance away from the alley, and he walked out of the despair of crossing the Sahara. The schoolbag was changed from the left shoulder to the right shoulder, and his blades were wet with sweat.

Stopping halfway, he took out his cell phone, turned to Liang Cheng's number, and dialed it.

After three rings, Liang Cheng answered, "Hello?"

Qiao Yuanlin was slightly taken aback, the voice from the phone was different from Liang Chengzhen's voice, with a bit of electricity mixed with the night wind and cicadas.

"Brother, are you home?" He said, "I'm almost home, please turn on the air conditioner first."

Liang Cheng said, "Not at home."

Qiao Yuanlin was very disappointed: "It's so late, you went to collect debts again? I'm speechless! Why does Pinghai City not pay back so much money? Is there any law?"

Liang Cheng said, "I'm going out to drink soda."

Qiao Yuanlin's blown hair was soft and submissive, and his voice was a little dry after the quarrel. He asked, "Where are you, I want to drink too."

Liang Cheng replied: "Turn your head."

Qiao Yuanlin turned his head immediately, and there was a big tree next to it, and the street was beyond the tree. He turned to the other side in confusion, it turned out that he was facing the window of the convenience store, and Liang Cheng was sitting on the high chair inside the window.

That was the seat where they sat for supper, Liang Cheng was holding a bottle of Coke, and on the table in front of him was the last cup of plum soda in the shop, the green plums and white crushed ice were floating and swaying.

The phone was not hung up, Qiao Yuanlin asked, "Did you buy it for me?"

Liang Cheng replied, "Place an order."
