After returning to S City, they got off the train and the two went to Lao Wang's school to report.

When Lao Wang's friends saw Lao Wang coming back, they surrounded him like flies seeing shit, yelling to ask him to treat him.

It has been almost two months since the school started, and Lao Wang has not reported it to the school. Usually, these brothers are sloppy when ordering classes. If Lao Wang hadn't called the brothers in advance to explain it to his brothers, the school might have listed him as a missing person.

Zi Yang watched Lao Wang and his friends laugh and play with each other, and suddenly felt like he was dreamy.

From southern Yunnan to northern Mo, after several months of bloody storm, swords and swords, he suddenly returned to the world of mortals, and was a little unbelievable.

He couldn't explain which world is more real.

"Hey, what's wrong with your buddy? Why don't you stand there and stop talking? Have you been heartbroken?" A buddy asked carelessly at Zi Yang who was standing aside and lost.

"Shut up! Brother Qian is here to treat me. You can find a place to eat at night, don't be polite to me." Lao Wang took out two of the remaining hundreds of dollars and handed them to one of them.

"Oh, Brother Wang is so polite! He treats you very much! Why are you so polite with your own brother?" The man took the money without hesitation.

Another person asked, "Brother Wang, why do you listen to your opinion? Don't you be with us at night?"

"Yes, a new Internet cafe is opened near the school. It is being held for an event and discount. Let's go all night together after dinner!"

"I have something to solve. Let's leave first. I will continue to help me protect you these days. I will thank you very much when I come back!" Lao Wang ignored everyone's enthusiasm and pulled Zi Yang and turned around and left.

"Brother Wang, at least say hello to Teacher Li. He has been talking to you several times!" a classmate shouted behind his back.

"Let's talk about it!" Lao Wang turned around and waved his hand, left the medical school with Zi Yang, and directly took a taxi at the school gate, asking the driver to speed up to the passenger station, and bought two tickets that had recently set off to H City.

"Go to school? Coffee shop? Or go back to your residence first?" Lao Wang asked at Zi Yang.

"Go to the coffee shop!" Zi Yang said without hesitation.

After getting off the bus, the two of them called a black car next to the station and rushed to the coffee shop. After arriving at the place, they were stunned when they got off the bus.

The door of the cafe shop, which was once lively, was closed, and two seals were posted on the door: "This store is transferred and business is closed."

"What's going on? Why is the good shop closed?" Lao Wang lay on the window and looked inside. All the tables and chairs in the hall had been emptied, and the counter was dismantled in a mess, with a mess inside.

"Go to Xiaoli School." Zi Yang said with a calm face.

Lao Wang held the money in his pocket and said hesitantly: "Old Li, we have been running non-stop for a long time. The remaining money is only enough to take a taxi again. You should be more at ease - we haven't eaten yet."

Zi Yang raised his hand: "Taxi!"

When the two arrived at Xiaoli's school, it happened to be dinner time. Xiaoli, who came out of the cafeteria, was stunned when she saw them.

"Xiaoli!" Old Wang shouted with a grin, with a complicated expression on his face, I don't know if it was crying or laughing.

"Brother Wang!"

Xiaoli instantly smiled brightly, ran to the two of them, and shouted happily: "You, why did you come back? Where have you been during this period? You can't find you everywhere! Do you know that the coffee shop is locked up? Where is Sister Rui? Didn't you go with you? Why don't you talk?"

Xiaoli said a lot of things like a cannon, and Lao Wang just looked at her and smiled foolishly.

Zi Yang asked, "I'm just about to ask you, why did the coffee shop be closed?"

"By the way, wait a moment!" Xiaoli turned around and ran to the dormitory.

Zi Yang and Lao Wang looked at each other in confusion.

After a while, Xiaoli jumped out with a small Kun bag on her back.

"Let's go to the beverage shop next to the school, I'll treat you!" Xiaoli held the arms of the two and pulled them out of the school.

There was no one in the beverage store. Xiaoli found a seat to sit down, ordered three cups of coffee, took out two thick envelopes from her bag, and placed them solemnly in front of them.

"This is yours."

"What?" Lao Wang took the envelope and pinched it. It felt like there should be money inside!

"Severance payments are given by the coffee shop."

Lao Wang opened the envelope and looked inside, his expression changed, and he whispered: "Damn, so much? At least 10,000 or 20,000? Do you usually bring so much money?"

"I've been locking it in the cabinet, what's wrong?" Xiaoli looked at him with two innocent big eyes open.

"Who gave it to you?" Zi Yang asked softly, looking forward to the name coming out of Xiaoli's mouth.

Xiaoli shook her head and sighed, "I don't know that person either.

We were still open last week, and suddenly a middle-aged man came and said he wanted to check the accounts, but the finance department said he didn't know him. Later, the man took out his industrial and commercial license, company seal and power of attorney. Only then did we realize that he was a lawyer entrusted by the owner of the coffee shop... Later, the finance department told us that the coffee shop was about to close and the boss sold the store.

The lawyer called everyone together for a meeting. He said that the boss was generous and knew that everyone was working hard, so he prepared a thank-you fee for each of us. I later calculated that each person had four months of salary and bonus!

Originally, you two prepared a copy, but you two were not in the store and couldn't contact anyone, so the lawyer gave me the money and asked me to hand it over to you. Later, I asked him where Sister Rui was, and he said he didn't know who I was talking about..."

Xiaoli was talking and talking, Zi Yang couldn't help but interrupt her: "Have you called her?"

"Sister Rui? Of course I have called, I'm not stupid! But the other end of the phone has been turned off. What's wrong with Sister Rui? Has she returned to China? I think everyone is very strange recently. My cousin also asked for leave and went home two days ago. He said that there was something at home and didn't say anything if he asked him what he had..."

"Give me your phone." Zi Yang stretched out his hand.

Xiaoli hesitated and looked at Lao Wang. After not seeing each other for a month or two, why does this Lao Li seem to have become a different person?

Lao Wang coughed and nodded slightly.

Xiaoli hesitated and handed the phone to Zi Yang.

Zi Yang took the phone, took out Su Rui's phone number, pressed the dial button, put the receiver in front of his ear, and his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.

A gentle voice came from the phone:

"Sorry, the user you call is an empty number, please check it before dialing.

sorry,    the-subscriber-you-dialed-     does-not-exist,    please-check-it-and     dial-later.”

"What's the situation?" Lao Wang looked at Zi Yang with a sad face, knowing that the situation was not good.

"It's an empty number, let's go." Zi Yang returned the phone to Xiaoli in disappointment, got up and walked out.

"Where are you going?" Xiaoli asked in confusion.

"Go back to your residence." Zi Yang murmured.

"Let's go now? Hey, you haven't told me where you have been these days..." Xiaoli shouted.

Zi Yang ignored her and walked out on her own.

"Hey, Lao Li! Wait for me!"

Lao Wang looked at Zi Yang with a distraught look on his face and walked out of the door. He wanted to chase him out, but he couldn't bear to leave Xiaoli. He hesitated for a moment, held Xiaoli's hand and told him: "Lili, you, go back first, I, I have time to find you in the past two days!"

After saying that, he chased Zi Yang who had already walked away.

The two of them took a new car at the school gate and paid for the severance payment given by the coffee shop.

When I returned to my residence and opened the door, I saw that the home was empty and there was a layer of dust on the furniture.

I haven't come back for a few months, everything in the house is still the same.

Lao Wang breathed a long sigh, "I'm home here! I'm hungry! Lao Li, you have a rest at home, I'll buy some food, and I'll be back soon - what do you want to eat?"

"I'm not hungry." Zi Yang said softly, walked to his house silently and sat down, staring at the ground with no eyes.

Lao Wang shook his head, sighed, and turned around and walked out of the door.

"Bang" the sound of the door closing sounded outside, and Lao Wang went out.

Zi Yang finally couldn't hold on anymore. He sat on the ground weakly, covering his face with both hands, and tears flowed down his eyes involuntarily.

"Su Rui!!"

He had been suppressed for a long time and howled in a burst of voice.

Su Rui, I finally lost you.

...

A few months later, the school library.

Zi Yang held an English book and looked at it seriously.

A pair of young lovers on the opposite side were flirting with each other. From time to time, they took out biscuits from their bags and fed each other with candies, making constant sounds. The classmate who was studying next to them kept turning his head to look at the two people showing their love, with a look of disgust on their faces.

Zi Yang turned a deaf ear to this. He sat there without raising his head, his heart was as calm as water, and everything around him had nothing to do with him.

In the first month of his return, Zi Yang seemed to be crazy and went to all the places Su Rui had been to. He had called all the phones he could contact, but he could never find any information about Su Rui.

Su Rui disappeared from his life as if the world had evaporated.

In those months, Zi Yang seemed to have lost her soul, not eating or drinking all day long, sitting there alone in a daze.

Lao Wang looked at him day and night, fearing that he would do something impulsive.

Later, with Lao Wang's painstaking advice, Zi Yang finally started to go to school to attend classes. When there was no class, he stayed in the library to read books. When the library closed, he sat on the side of the road to watch the cars coming and going.

Time is the best medicine to cure everything.

The wounds left by Su Rui in his heart slowly healed. Zi Yang began to accept all this and get used to it.

No matter what, life still needs to continue, right?

There are no strange adventures, no thrilling encounters, and sleep is no longer full of anxiety.

Zi Yang's life began to become dull, attending classes, reading books, playing basketball, and sleeping.
